u. s. Miles is carrying around a very
lame back and neck as a rather forcible
reminder of fall from the Robinson de-
livery wagon last Thursday morning
He was driving out of the school house
lot, when the horse by one leap cleared
the ditch. The wagon stopped in the
ditch and Ula went over the dashboard
and the horse, landing on his head in the
road. For few minutes he was just
about "all in" and says it was no joke.
The Meadville Commercial College
opened September 9Th, 1905, for the year
1905-l906, with the largest attendance in
the history of the college. The students
in attendance are uniformly bright, intel
ligent, and well prepared to take a busi-
ness education. They are bound to sue
ceed if they complete their work in a sat-
isfactory manner. The rooms of the col
lege have been renovated during the sum-
mer, and with the increased equipment
and teaching force, is easily the leading
commercial college in western Pennsyl-
vania.
In court this morning Judge Lindsey
passed sentence on the men convicted
last week. Harry Smith, who robbed
the Campbell residence, was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary and 5000
fine for house breaking and larceny.
After sentence had been passed upon
him he exclaimed to the judge: "Old
boy, hope you are black in hell before
l get out" The sheriff hustled him out
of the court room, but 1t is to be regretted
that the Judge did not add few more
years to his sentence for such actions.-

The first frost OF the season struck
this locality Thursday morning, Sept. IA,
when thermometers in some places reg
istered several degrees below freezing,
especially on the hills. We can learn OF
no serious damage to crops hereabouts,
but in some parts of the state corn and
buck wheat are reported to be nipped.
From the REPUBLICANS record of first
frosts since 1899, we gather these dates,
showing this years frost to be full week
earlier: November ID, 1899; October 20,
1900; October 4, 1901; October 10, 1902;
October 25, 1908; September 2l, 1904.
AT the commencement exercises at
tending the graduation ofa class oftrained
nurses at the State hospital for the insane
at North Warren, on Friday evening last,
the REPUBLICAN notes with pride that
Forest county again contributes two
young ladies, Miss Effie Bell Stakeley, OF
Mayburg, and Miss Caroline Korb, OF
Tionesta. The exercises were of the
highest order OF excellence, and were at
tended by many people of prominence in
the surrounding community. Some fine
addresses were given, the one by Or.
Guth, superintendent of the institution,
being especially noteworthy. Regis or
chestra, of Warren, furnished excellent

DIR. w. ]. Mcknight, of Brookville,
Pa, who had been taking in "Old Home
Week" at Franklin, arrived in the city
to-day. The doctor resided in this Sec
tion during the early oil excitement and
was interested with Jacob Sheasley in
drilling wells near Pithole when that
town boasted of 10, 900 inhabitants. He
has completed pioneer history of north
western Pennsylvania which will be
ready for delivery Oct 1.-oil City Biz
zard. In the preparation of this history
DR.. Mcknight has taken nothing for
granted, but at great expense of time,
labor and research has verified every
point, thus making his book true his
tory, without word of fiction or fancy
1t has been largely labor of love with
the Doctor, as he scarcely expects to keer
even on his actual outlay of cash for get.
ing out the work, to say nothing about
pay for his time aud labor expended.
-Rey. Paul ]. Slonaker, pastor elect
was installed by a commission OF Clarion
Presbytery in the Tionesta Presbyterian
church on the evening of September IA
Rev. Charles Marshall, of East Brady,
presided, proposed the constitutional
questions and gave the charge to the
pastor. Rev. s. A. Cornelius, of Oil
City, gave the charge to the congregation
and in the absence of DR.. Conway, ol
Brookville, also preached the sermon
The service was very helpful one tc
both pastor and people and was well at
tended. The work presents many en-
couragements; new pews have been
placed in position and lovely new car
pet covers the floor. With these inn
provements the church presents most
handsome appearance. The service Sab
bath morning was conducted by Rev
Paul j. Slonaker, the pastor, who deliv-
cred an appropriate inaugural sermon
A good congregation was present, and the
brightness of the day lent its cheer to the
service.
State Highway Commissioners Hun
ter is forming plans for the enforcement
of the new automobile law, which goes
into effect Jan /. The new law transfers
the issuing of auto licenses from prothon'
otaries to the highway department and
after Jan. nobody will be allowed to rur
an automobile in Pennsylvania without
first obtaining license from this depart
ment. With the license will be furnished
two number tags-one for each end of the
machine. All other tags will have to bt
removed, so that thereafter all machines
operated anywhere IN this state mus
carry only the numbered tags bearing tht
license number. The number tag in the
