-Aam Ikenburg, whose farm is located
on the top Of Ross Run hill in Kingsley
township, was a business visitor in town
one day last week. Adam has been
making many Improvements about his
promises of late and ere long will have as
nice a farm and as comfortable home as
one could wish to enjoy, and all accom-
plished by close application to business.
The Muskrat City correspondence of

The rose is beautiful flower, but it
fades in an hour and dies in day. The
sweet scent of the flower, however, lives
in its fragrance after it has withered and
gone. And so the man who accomplishes
some good that liyes after his body is
mingled with the dust has not wasted his
life, but the perfume of the good he has
accomplished will give sweet thoughts to
those who follow the pathway behind him.
Every minister in Kittanning, in
pursuance of an agreement, at the morn
ing services on Sunday preached against
playing for prizes at euchre and other
card parties. The ministers declared that
it was just as much sin for the mothers
and the sisters to go to card parties and
play for ornamental prizes as it was for
the husbands and sons TO 20 to the poker
rooms and play for money. But we'd
hardly think it quite SO bad as that.
in recent address to teachers State
Superintendent Schaeffer said he be-
lieved in corporal punishment. and
thought it was wise, if child rebels
against school discipline, to treat him as
rebel, with force. He decried the ten
dency to introduce too many reforms in
the schools, such as that of teaching the
children not to smoke cigarettes, how to
treat dumb animals. how to avoid drum
kenness, ETC., which take up much of the
time of the teacher and could be learned
out of school.
The arrest of the Italians in connec-
ton of the shooting at Tiona last Sunday,
who Wednesday were held to answer to
the charge of murder, has brought forth
queries as to whether or not there was
ever a hanging in Warren county. Many
years ago there was an Indian convicted
of murder and sentenced to be hanged.
The crime was comm tted west OF War
rem near Reese Eddy, but in some man
ner the convicted Indian escaped from
the custody of the Sheriff. Another muir
der was committed at Irvineburg, near
Russell, but the guilty person was not
apprehended.- Warren Mirror.
John r. Osgood was home from Oil
City to spend Sunday with his family.
John was somewhat crippled from a
rather serious accident that befell him at
Dempseytown over a week ago. He was
feeding his horse and after throwing
some hay from the NOW in the barn,
threw do sn the fork and slid down on
the pile of hay. In doing so he alghted
on the business end OF the fork and one
of the tines was forced through his left
leg just above the knee, taking down
ward course and making a bad wound.
1t was very painful and gave him con-
siderable trouble, but he will soon be
dDl6 W kbl dDOul Us usual.
1t is learned from a good reliable
source that George Priestley has struck it
rich since he left for Indian Territory one
year ago this month. He mas just closed
deal that included 5000 acres of oil and
gas lands, with daily production of 200
barrels. The sale was made to Pittsburg
nI Mr Dria har will
amount to S250,OOO paid to him in cash.
The companies are known as the Lum-
berman's s Oil and Gas Company and the
Collins Oil and Gas Company and both
are chartered under the laws of the ter
ritory. We are glad to note Mr.. PRIEST
ley's success and wish him continued
luck and prosperity. Times.
