WESTERN FREIGHT MOVEMENTS
Present Operations Expected to Break
All Records

Chicago, March 22.-Traffio offic-
ials of the Western roads report that
west-bound traffic is extremely heavy
at present. It is expected when final
reports regarding IT are received they
will show all previous records to have
been broken. The shipments are all
high-class freight 30 that revenues
derived from transportation will be
very large. The roads are badly
pressed for equipment to keep up.
and in some instances they are con-
siderably behind. Grain shipments
east bound are also quite heavy, so
that the roads are busy in both direc-
tons. March earnings are expected
to show quite an improvement over
those of the corresponding month last
year.

ottawa, Ont, March 22-The first
session of the new Ontario legislature
opened today. It is not expected that
any radical legislation viii be intro

Whitney and his ministers have not

The Greensboro Telegram says that
when the federal court opened on
Monday there were about a hundred
men from the mountains In the court
house who had been summoned as wit
nesses. When asked what they were
doing there one replied that they were
waiting to see 1.-The Judge come I'm with
his black shirt on" referring TO mis-
gown. This is the class of men who
do the moonshining in the mountains.
Those of this profession living further
east cannot plead such ignorance and
stupidity in exfenuation of their
crimes. We do not suppose il will aid
the others. In fact they had better
not let Judge Boyd know that they
designate his judicial robe by such a
vulgar term as This black shirt"

BLOOD WILL TELL.

Blood will tell' is a saying az old
as the hills and n that many take az
Gospel truth, whether applied to hui
man beings or to animals. Men have
believed it for ages, from observation
and experience, but it takes a TWEEN
tieth century expert and scientist to
demonstrate it's truth, as to some ami
mails at least, by chemical experiments.
This man claims to have solved the Sc
cret of heredity.
A dispatch from Cambridge, Mass,
to the New York Tribune gives this
account of the result of discoveries
made by Professor Theobald Smith in
experimenting with horses blood:
Dr. Theobald Smith. George Babyan
professor of comparative pathology
at Harvard university. says he has
made an important discovery which
seems likely to solve the secret Of
heredity. It was made while exrer:-
menting with the blood of horses IN
making serum.
Small quantities of blood were taken
from different horses and placed in a
solution for tests.
The REQ ccrpnscles from or ami
mails show a greater resistance owe
than the red corpuscies from other
horses. He found from repeated tests
that this variation will be constant.
In other words. he found h a red COR
puscles from the same horse always
developed in the test the same amount
of resistance power or vitality. This
discovery was so amazing and so i'm
portant that he tested it's trustworthi-
ness in every way. with the results al
ways the same.
If this be SO as to horses, why not
as to other animals and also human
beings? The next question to deter
mine is whether or not the same char
acteristic of the c%orpuscles are to be
found in the blood of parent and Off
spring. If DR.. Smith "a show this,
then his claim to have solved the Sc
cret of heredity is made good, and we
will find that in using the trite saying
that "blood will tell" we have uncon-
sciously been proclaiming one of the
fundamental laws of nature. Who can
deny that the time Will soon come
when a scientist can take a few drops
of a mans blood and tell what were
his character and mental qualifications.
If Professor Smith can extend his
theory by practical results to this ex-
IRENE it may form an important branch
of medical Jurisprudence.

Fayetteville. September I'm clos

BUILD A STEEL BRIDGE.

We would ask the city officials and
it would not be much better to replace
the wooden bridge on Fourth street
with an iron or steel one similar TO
those over the Atlantic Coast Line
tracks on Fourth and Fifth street.
There is an immense amount of traf-
fc over this bridge. It is always get
ting out of repair and is continually
a menace to life and property. 1t is
the only means of communication De-
tween the business and residential
part of the city and many saw mills
and manufacturing plants on the north
side of the railroad. A good steel CT
iron bridge would be economy in the
end.
The supreme court has decided that
it is the duty of the Seaboard Air Line
to keep this bridge in repair. Who
has the right to say whatkind of
bridge it shall be-the city or the
railroad-we do not know. If the city
has, the people should urge that it
insist that the present wooden bridge
be replaced with one of iron or steel.
If it has not that right, no doubt the
two corporations could enter into an
agreement similar to the one made
by the city with the Coast Line for
the construction of the Fourth stree.
bridge over the latter's tracks. Were a
steel bridge put up there the railroad
company would be saved the constant
outlay for repairs, and communication
between the city and the mills to the
north of the railroad would not be in
terrupted so often.
At the present time, because of the
unsafe condition of the bridge, all COM
munication is cut off. No vehicle can
pass between the city and the mills.
In case of fire in that section not an
engine or a hose wagon could reach
the locality. Because of this thousands
upon thousands of dollars worth of
property is in hourly danger of de-
%struction. These mills, in the way of
purchasing supplies and paying wages
are worth in the neighborhood of three
hundred thousand dollars annually to
our city.
Some consideration should be given
to these facts in deciding upon the
character Of bridge that should span
this railway cut.
Now. while we have a practical dem-
onstration of the interruption of traffic
and the danger to property because of
the dangerous condition of the wooden
bridge, is a good time to consider the
advantages of one of steel.

Letter TO L. j. Hopkins,

DEAR SIR:-When you see we'll
dressed man, you like to say: "There's
a sample of my clothes. That man is
worth two of himself as he was when he
came to me-"
We have the same feeling. Our paint
on house is worth twice as much as old
fashion painters paint, lead-and oil. 1t
looks the same when first put on. In
three months it don't. In three years it
decidedly don't.
Lead .and-oil chalks off in three years:
il is considered a first-rate job that lasts
three years.
Deyoe lead -and-zinc is about as good in
three years rs it was the day the painter
left it.
Zinc is the secret of it; no secret at all.
A good many painters know zinc; some
mix it in with their lead. We grind it
in: not little: good deal.
It's the zinc and the grinding that does
It. You can't mix zinc by hand. We
grind it in by machinery.
Painters are finding us out, though
some painters are slow.
You know that ii pays good man to
wear good clothes. How many customers
have you that know il?
Yours truly,
f. w. DEvoE q Co.,

Buck Mills School House Burned.

For the second time within year the
school house at Buck Mills, in Kingsley
township was destroyed by fire, the latest
occurrence being on Wednesday night OF
last week. The origin of the fire was
thought to have been an over pressure of
gas, the stove being connected with the
high pressure line, but this theory is ex-
ploded by the statement of the teacher,
Miss nellie Myers, to the effect that she
turned off all the gas before leaving the
house in the evening, and this is the con-
dtion the throttle was found in the next
morning. The further fact that the
building which occupied the same foun-
dation was mysteriously burned during
the early part of last winter, leads strong
ly to the conclusion that the fires we're of
incendiary origin. What motive any one
could have for such despicsble work is
hard to conjecture. The loss to the dis
trict on building, furniture and supplies
will foot up about $500, on which there
was an insurance of$5OO, carried through
the Arner agency of Tionesta. Work on
a new building was started yesterday,
which will be located in the center of the
village, the ones destroyed being half
mile above the town.

There is No Doubling This.


Some weeks ago we published an item
about wonderful crop of tomatoes raised
by our friend and former well-beloved
minister of the Tionesta M. e. church.
Some may have doubted the story, but
there is no longer room for such skepti-
csm for here is the document that settles
1t in the minds of those who may have
had any doubts:
CoNNEAUTvILLE, PA, Oct. IA, 1906
ED. Republican, received the
FOREST REPUBLICAN bearing date Sept.
9th, containing a marked article con-
cerning tomatoes raised the past season.
suppose you questioned the truth of the
article as it appeared almost incredible
that so much could be raised on so small
piece of ground, but as they were all
weighed and sold by the pound 1 am able
to give you the exact figures. Ny gar
den was 100 feet long by 80 feet wide. 40
by 45 of this was set to tomatoes, the rows
being three feet apart and the tomatoes
set about two feet apart in the row, con-
lhluluB oVO pldhtSs oOiN W "NeN~a
weight 2, 1888 lbs. for $l36.3l, selling the
first on July % at 10 cents per pound.
The price held at 10 cents for about two
weeks, then fell to SC, &c, &c, sc, and final
ly to 4c per pound. Besides selling
these, we used all we wanted during the
season, canned 40 quarts, brought with
us a crate when we moved, and gave
away number of baskets that were a
little inferior and which did not care to
put on the market. 1 estimated that
there were at least enough of the toma-
toes not sold to make 1t tons of tomatoes
in all. Ofother vegetables sold S22.2l
worth from my garden, making in all
Sl5S.52 worth sold from the patch. OF
course, we ate all we wanted ourselves,
put up pickles, etc., and brought with us
2 bushels of beets, II bushels of onions,
box of celery, parsnips, and twenty pie
pumpkins. We also had one corner of
the garden in straw wberries, which fur
nished us all the strawberries we needed
for table use during the season. Now 1
acknowledge this looks rather fishy, and
1 feel that tell it at the risk of my repu-
tation for veracity, but have the figures
and money that tell the story and vouch
for the truth of it. The most of these
things were handled by two of our mer-
chants, Thomas and Clark, of Conneaut
Lake. Yours Truly,

Sudden Death Of John Saylor.

our community was shocked this
morning by the receipt of word of the
sudden death at Neilltown, this county, =,
of John Saylor, one of Tionesta's well
known and industrious citizens. He had
been working on new school building
in Neilltown, and this morning left his
boarding house, at Mr.. Van Wyck's, to
go to his work, apparently feeling we'll
as usual, having eaten hearty break
fast. About half past seven O'Clock Jo-
seph Boyer, fellow workman came to
the building and found Mr.. Saylor lying
on his back few PAGES from the build
ing, dead. There were no marks upon
him except small spot of blood on the
forehead near the right eye, and no evil
dences ofany struggle. In all PROBABILITY
the cause of death was heart failure. At
the hour of going to press doctor had
not yet arrived, and further particulars
are lacking at this writing.
Mr.. Saylor has been resident of
Tionesta for many years. He leaves a
wife and several children.
