"A telegram this morning announces

Gle, Ind, yesterday. The body is on the
way here for burial.
If your name is not on the registry
list, or If you are not sure that it is, bet.
ter see about II at once. Today, the
9Th, is the last day for legal registration
in order to enttle you to vote in No
vember. We hope no Republican will
be negligent in this matter.
The ladies of the Presbyterian church
will give box festival at Bovard's hall
next Friday evening, and everybody is
invited to come and bring box filled
with good things to eat. The ladies hope
to have large attendance and assure to
all pleasant time. Remember the date
and don't fail to be present.
Rural free delivery boxes will here
alter be numbered, so that when letter
is addressed to a man on the line of such
a route it may also bear the number OF
his mail box, thus aiding in avoiding
The move seems to be good
one and will doubtless help the mail-car-
rier when there are several families of
the same name on his route.
The Democratic senatorial conference,
comprising the Venango- Warren district,
in session at Oil City last week, endorsed
the candidacy of James T. Brennan, Esq,
who had already been nominated by the
Prohibition and Lincoln parties of the
district. AS an old Forestonan Mr..
Brennan has many friends in this county
who, though unable to help him in his
will wish him well, regardless
of party affiliations.
The County Comm issioners are in
receipt of a communication from II. A.
Bigley, of Franklin, stating that he has
will begin work on the new mAcadam
road above Tubbs Run at once. Mr..
Bigley is anxious to get started in the
work in the hope of finishing same be-
fore cold and inclement weather sets in.
This is good news for the people of this
section who are already congratulating
themselves on the prospect of having
piece of the sort of road the state makes
within the next couple of months. Should
the weather remain good during this and
next month there is little doubt but that
it will be completed.
-of"Kid" Leibrich, who has very sat
umpired number of games
in Tionesta, the Titusville Herald say
"Chsrles Leibrich has accepted an offer
from the p. and o. League, including
New Castle, Sharon, Akron and other
eastern Ohio teams, to officiate as an UNI
pire in the league next year. Mr.. Lei
brich has all ne qualifications of an UNI
pire, including voice, judgment and de.
He is quick in his decs-
ions and almost invariably right. He
does not frighten easily and bulldozing
Is something for which he will not stand.
The salary for his position will be Sl25
month. Unless local judgment is badly
misplaced he will some day land in
major league"
"A Clsrington correspondent under
late of August 30th says: "Ths Redclyffe
ball team, who by virtue of their many
ate victories claim to be the strongest
cam in the county, visited our town
Tuesday and were defeated 10 too. They
we're strengthened for the occasion by the
services of Keating, Braden and Morri-
son from Marienville. 1t was loose
ysme. Haight, the visitors much boast
I'd pitcher, was hit hard and his support
was very poor. George Dunkle made
lis first appearance in game here this
summer, and the professors catching,
ogether with Braden's fielding, were
he features of the contest. Slaughen-
laupt had his finger badly hurt. A large
,rowd witnessed the game"
"A terrific boiler explosion occurred
asst Wednesday morning at one o'clock
IN the lease of the Deible Oil Company,
1t McGrsw, Warren county, in which
rionesta parties are interested. John
Noble and George Frampton, of this
place, were the crew, and the latter had
ust left the boiler and assisted in pulling
he tools, when the boiler let go with a
oar that could be heard for miles around.
Il was completely demolished and strewn
,ver a radius of quarter of mile.
Neither of the men was injured and their
escape was truly miraculous. A piece of
he boiler cut off the drilling cable just
lbove the tools and the sand line was
.lso cut off. An over-pressure of steam
s supposed to have caused the explosion.
The boiler was 20.horse one purchased
rom the w. A. Grove estate. 1t was in
excellent condition.
With Tionesta's splendid flag and
sidewalks, its usually we'll kept,
handsome lawns, 1t has often been
wonder that so many unsightly weeds
ire allowed to grow up in many spots
when very little work would keep
hem down, and add greatly to the other
wise beautiful appearance of our town.
In some places this duty would naturally
all upon the owner, but in most case it
tightly belongs to the borough authori-
les to look after it. In TACT some of the
worst places haye actually been caused
,y hose who have had to do with the
work, old rotten lumber and
.ubbish having been allowed to remain
1t the side of walks where it has been
brown through carelessness and indiffer-
,nce. This ought not to be. For the
lealtb and beauty of the town, let there
% little cleaning up.
