the inside finishing, was struck by bolt

day afternoon of last week. Aside from
knocking few brick from the chimney
and tearing off some of tho plaster, the
damage was not serious.
Wisconsin newspapers are all send
ing out 29-page supplements. Under
new statute, the laws enacted at each ses-
sion of the Legislature are published in
every paper in the state whose publisher
is willing to perform that service for 500.
Few decline, and thus there goes a copy
of the session laws into nearly every
home. The Wisconsin plan certainly
makes ignorance of the law az inexcusa-
BILE morally as legally.
The survivors of the famous old
Bucktail regiment, which did so much
good service during the stormy days Of
the civil war, will hold their annual re-
union this year at the home of Col. Il. A.
Irwin, lieutenant colonel of the regiment,
at Curwensville, Pa, Oct. and 4. Col.
Irwin was made captain of the company
recruited there in 1861, and every men,
Der of the regiment will make an effort to
be present at the reunion this year.
Elmer d. Brown, an engineer on the
P. Il. r., lost his life in the railroad yards
at Ashtabula Harbor on the 10th inst, in
a coll sion which burst the boiler of his
engine, scalding him to death. He was
aged 80 years, and leaves wife and
3-year-old son. His mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Brown, also survives. She is a
sister of the late DR.. Hunter and a half
sister of the late Judge Dale, and her son
Elmer was a cousin of the children of
these late citizens of Tionesta.
The Oil City Evening Times, after a
nine-months struggle for existence, has
given up the ghost, ceasing publication
with its issue of the 10Th inst. Starting a
newspaper, where the field is already
we'll covered, and keeping it going for
any length OF time are separate PROPOSE
tions altogether. No matter how cheap
apples are, 1t takes money to buy cider,
and the party that undertakes to run a
print shop on thin air will come out
about like "Pete Barnes, who kept tavern
out west"
An exchange very truly says the
business world has no use for loafer,
If young man would succeed he must
occupy his time as though 1t was of some
value. Sitting around on dry goods
boxes, playing cards in the back room OF
the boozery, smoking cigarettes and
wearing ones hat jauntily poised on
either ear, these are the passports of GER
tain failures in life. Employers of labor
are looking for earnest, conscientious,
faithful workers, and such are either
working or looking for work when 9th
ers are looking for soft snap.
In central Pennsylvania few miles
from Shamokin, says an exchange, is a
three hundred acre tract of land contain
ing nearly ninety thousand chestnut trees.
In 1904 this prolific grove bore one thou
sand bushels of nuts, bringing ten dol
lars bushel and the demand was much
greater than the supply, and three times
the amount the grove bears could be
easily marketed at the same price. When
the big grove reaches its full bearing ca
pacity it will yield at least one-halfmore
That story sounds just trife "chestnut-
ty." Ten dollars bushel for chestnuts
is just little up in figure.
IA Reader" asks what has become Of
the Erie Railroads project to build line
through Warren, the query being based
on the presence here several months age
of party of surveyors. The ways of the
railroad, and especially the Erie railroad
are past finding out. 1t is like looking
for results after sticking ones hand in q
pail of water. The hole has gone, like
wise also the surveyors. We don't know
gentle reader, but be consoled by the
story of the man who said he wanted tc
get to New York the worst way and in
quired how he should travel. "Take the
Erie" was the prompt reply.-Warrer
