The big thunder storm left its mark at
Mayburg on Monday night. l had just
sat down to supper when that awful crash
of thunder came. Just before the crash,
a streak of forked lightning ran around
the room, dazing everybody but hurting
none. The clap of thunder seemed to
drive one into the ground. Then shouts
OF fire, we'll on fire! ~ All the boys
rushed to No. 50, on the Balltown road
about quarter of a mile from town.
That awful crack had set two tanks on
fire. No. 66 was put out by the neigh
bors. Not so No. 50. 1t blazed away as
only an oil fire can. TIE tank was about
80 feet from the derrick, which it set on
fire, but the rain and the boys put the fire
out and saved the rig. After the fire we
discovered that it was caused by the
lightning striking a stub, tearing up the
ground until it reached the gas and steam
lines, ran along them, set No. 60 on fire
at the casing head, and fired the gas at
a leak under house, which was put out.
Also ran up to No. 95 as above.
One feature of the fire was especially
interesting. There was blaze about
three feet long about 80 feet up the der
rick on one of the legs. The old super
intendent said, "Boys, I'll give S. to any
body who will put out that blaze" Carl
Christianson ran for the ladder, and had
Just reached the blaze when an awful
dash of rain put it out. Well, Carl got
his s. all the same. The derrick floor
was on fire underneath, whore the oil
from the tank had run, but the boys tore
up plank, broke in other places and
shoveled snow aud ice till all was safe. 1t
was most interesting time for 10 or 20
minutes but the boys subdued it, The
65 oil tank and tank house and about rs
barrels )f oil, were burned.

Dear Sirs: We thank you for the very
satisfactory increase of our premium re-
ceipts in your agency for 1908 and sim
cerely hope it will be in your power to,
at least, make as good showing for this
year.
1t is our earnest desire to keep the In
surance Company of North American
first among the companies doing business
in Pennsylvania, for while its age and
established reputation makes its policy
sought wherever it is represented, still
Pennsylvania is our home and in that
home we feel we are entitled 10 first place.
We kpow it mas been our earnest effort,
by our treatment of our policy holders
and agents, to deserve it and we feel con-
fident we may rely upon your friendship
for ourselves to see that nothing remains
undone to assure it.
The need of such a company as ours,
able and prompt to meet such fire disas-
asterS as Chicago, Boston and Baltimore,
must appeal to every intelligent agent
who has insurance to sell, and makes its
policy as good as a government bond
when called upon to meet a loss.
Yours truly,

Manager, Penna. State Department.

Big Theatre Floats From Warren to
New Orleans.

Perhaps the most interesting ofnew ves-
sells plying the Ohio, Illinois, and Missis-
sippi rivers is ont built upon an exten-
sive scale for use as a floating theatre,
which is thus described in the Scientific
American
"The seating capacity is for 800 people,
and there are boxes for the elite and a pit
for the orchestra. In addition the vessel
Sufficiently large to admit of Numerous
sleeping rooms for the actors, the deck
hands and all those connected with the
show or the boat The entire force num-
bers forty. On the steamer which tows
the theatre besides the boilers and en-
gines, there is a complete electric light
plant besides Kitchen and dining room.
III view of the fact that the long water
route of the floating theater carries it into
the warmer portions of the South, the sea-
son for the show does not close until late
in the Southern winter. The entire route
1.-THE Governor of the Ohio River, "is now
under construction at Warren, the lum-
ber being furnished by the Rogers Mill
Co. for Norris, Blamphire Il Co., and will
start from Warren on or about April 3D.,
and will visit all towns along the Allie
gheny. Thence the boat slowly makes its
way in the direction of New Orleans. The
idea Off floating theator is not exactly
new, but the extensive scale upon which
it is being carried on and the fact that it
is the demand for comedy and high-class
vaudeville acts at season when the
weather is too warm for travelling COM
panies to play opera houses.
On the upper deck of The steamer is a
calliope. Long before the theater reaches
the town in which it is to show, the
sounds of this instrument may be heard.
The idle population OF the river towns at
once begins to assemble on the wharf. As
the steamer comes within few hundred
feet of the dock the calliope is silenced
and brass band strikes up familiar
air The crowd on the wharf grows larg-
eT' many are lueTe awaiting the hrsl Up
POI tunity to secure reserved seats. When
the boat touches the wharf the sailors
make the vessel fast aud put the gang
plank in place. The scenery is arranged
and the orchestra rehearses. The peo-
pie come aboard and select their seats in
stead of doing so from diagram on shore.
AT night the theater is brilliantly lighted
by electricity and a searchlight flashes
oyer the surrounding territory. The en-
tertainment lasts about three hours"
The above floating theater expects to
arrive at West Hickory about April 5th,
at Tionesta the following day, April 9th.

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone TO attempt to doctor himself,
although he may have the roper medi-
ways be called. 1t should be borne in
mind, however, that pneumonia always
results from cold or from an attack OF
the grip, and that by giving Cham ber-
lain's Cough Remedy the threatened at
tack of pneumonia may be warded off.
This remedy is also used by physicians
in the treatment of pneumonia with best
results. DR.. w. J. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala, who is also druggist, says, of it:

Dear Sir; Lead and-oil is not good
