they tried their spigots Sunday morning,

registered all the way down To 20 degrees
] below zero, and twas by considerable the
,snappiest morning of the season.

vania, died at the Hotel Walton, in Phil

porous business enterprise until he came
to be regarded as ouA of the foremost men
of this section of the hte.
The County Audh6rs' report of the
past years fiscal affairs appears in the
REPUBLICAN, of to-day, and will doubt
less be read with interest by the taxpay-
ers. The statement of the financial
standing ofthe county accounts shows a
balance on the right side of the ledger of
nearly four thousand dollars, while the
poor fund account shows marked i'm
provement over the record of the year
| previous, the bonded Indebtedness hav-
ing been reduced nearly three thousand
dollars. All OF which is a matter for
congratulation.
John Casey, Sr., employed with the
section crew of the Hickory Valley rail-
road, met with very severe accident
while unloading ties from a car on Mon
day morning. One of the ties fell upon
his leg causing bad fracture of the knee
joint. Owing to the difficulty in giving
him the care at his home which such an
injury requires lie was taken to the Oil
City hospital for treatment and placed
under the care of DR.. j. B. Siggins. Mr..
Casey is aged 70 years, which fact makes
his complete recovery matter of much
doubt. At least it will be slow and te-
diOus.
"A housewife hands in the following:
During the winter season, when hanging
out clothes is so difficult. try putting a
handful of salt in the last rinsing water
and the clothes will not stitfen or freeze
until after they are hung on the line;
indeed, it is possible even to change the
position in line full of clothes, If neces-
sary, before they freeze, and best of all, If
hung out In the sun bofore the freezing
begins. This saves the wear and tear, for
nothing is so hard upon linen as this
freezing and tapping in the wind. They
al also easier TO remove from the line.-

John Lynch, of the Commercial ho-
tel. received letter Sunday from Alfred
Sperry, OF Cleveland, stating that he was
getting along nicely, Eight weeks ago
Mr.. Spciry, who has extensive lumber
interests here, was one of a large number
of passengers in trolley car near Cleve-
land that was struck by fast train. Mr.
Sperry had his scalp torn off and was
otherwise badly injured. He has been
in the hospital since that time until two
weeks ago, when he was taken home
He is now able to sit up in his own home,
but does not expect to be able to revisit
Oil City for some months.-[ Derrick.
-"How to Prevent Appendicitis" is
the subject of an article by DR.. Joseph
Hind in the January number of the
Nineteenth Century. He gives what he
considers three simple rules, by carefully
observing which none need fear the mod
ern scourge. These rules are: First
don't neglect chills, when heated by ex-
ercise; secondly, masticate well and eat
not perfectly softened by the teeth; third
ly, avoid aperient, salts, Hungarian wa
ters, or liver pills. Let nature do her
own work undisturbed by purgatives of
any sort, for their sequel is often appen-
dicitis.
The member of the legislature who
introduced bill at the present session
providing for the establishment of the
whipping post for wife beaters in this
state, received scant consideration at the
hands of the judiciary general committee,
says the Kane Republican, and then it
goes on to offer this sensible suggestion:
The proper disposition to make of the
class of offenders who violate marital OBJ
legations would be to place them at labor
in corrective institutions, at going rates
of wages for the same class of work, the
sums earned beyond their expense for
sustenance to be placed for the benefit of
their families.
The Wilton Gas Light is something
new to this country. The agent of the
company, w. D. Smith, of Oil City, was
up one day last week and Installed a few
in some of the business places with the
understanding that il they were not sat
factory he would be back in a few days
and take them out again, without expense
to the proprietor OF the shop. He fitted
one up in the REPUBLICAN office, and we
serve notice on the gentleman right here
and now, if he attempts to take it out
he'll get into trouble. The company
guarantees their light to use less gas and
produce a half more light than anything
in the market, and if the one in this office
is fair sample they're perfectly safe in
making the guarantee and more too.
There is no discount on the Wilton gas
light, and when the agent comes around
give him a chance to demonstrate the ex-
cellence OF his goods-if you want a first
class light in your house or place of bus
