pendence, Kansas, ON the 23d inst, of
pneumonia. The deceased was in his 62d
year, and is doubtless remembered by
many In Forest county, where he had
often attended the teachers institutes as
an Instructor in past years. His body
was brought to his former home In
Franklin for burial.
james Landers has finally got his
'steamboap' in successful operation, and
has made number of pleasant excur-
sions through the eddy, but the motive
power, six-horse gasoline engine driv-
ing stern wheel, is hardly sufficient to
propel the craft over the swift current.
However, jim is not easily daunted and
with little more experimenting thinks
he will be able to "make the rifles" be-
fore the summers past.
Tho only radical change in the time
of trains which went into effect last Sun
day is that OF the afternoon train up the
river, which now goes at 4:l6. The time
OF this train at Jameson is 4:l8, Dawson
4:2O, Hickory 4:29, Trunkeyville 4:36. All
other trains run the same as before. The
two new Sunday trains are, east at 2:43,
west at 5;28. 1t will be noticed that the
p. r. X. has reconsidered its action OF
year ago in cutting Jameson off the map
and that station is put on again as flag
station.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ball, of West
Hickory, were in town yesterday for
days visit with Oil City friends. During
the past week 10 valuable fox hounds and
other hunting dogs owned in that section
have died from the effects of strychnine
administered in small pellets of meat by
someone unknown. The owners of the
dead CANNES have taken steps to enforce
the law, which imposes heavy fine and
term of Imprisonment for this offeuse
against the laws prohibiting cruelty to
animals. Derrick.
Spring must be here, because the
shirtwaist girl, in all her shimmery,
peek glory and open work stock
ings has made her debut. These delecta-
BILE twin charms of femiuinity, says
writer in the Philadelphia Press, are
sure signs of it. Once the redbreast robin
proclaimed spring. Gone is that time.
The little chirper has been skidooed by
the pink-seeve maiden. He may peep"
his pert head off, and still it is not spring.
But when the girls peel off their coats
and don the flimsy, it is.
The annual Memorial Day sermon
was preached at the NJ. e. church Sunday
morning at eleven o'clock by Rey. Paul
j. Sonaker, pastor of the Presbyterian
church, and he was assisted in the SER
vices by Rev. W. o. Calhoun. Capt. Geo.
Stow Post, q. A. Il. and the w. Il. @.
attended as organizations. The choir
had prepared special music for the occa-
sion. Rev. DR.. Slonaker selected as his
text Hebrews 1l:4, "Being dead, yet
speaketh," and delivered an excellent
sermon that was thoroughly enjoyed by
all who heard it. We will publish it in
full next week by special request.
Briefly, the following is the program
as outlined for observance of Memorial
Day in Tionesta to-day: The Post aud
Reliei Corps meet at their hall at l:l5 p.
IN. sharp, and accompanied by the Sun
day schools, march to the river bridge,
where the ritual service will be observed
and flowers strewn upon the waters;
march to Riverside Cemetery, conduct
the ritual service and decorate the graves
of the departed comrades; then march to
the court house, where other services
will be held, and the address delivered by
Rev. w. o. Calhoun, orator of the day.
The people generally are urged to par
ticpate in all the services.
The Conneautville Courier says the
movement among Grand Army veterans
to change Memorial Day from May 30 to
the last Sunday in May is said to he
gaining strength throughout the country.
There is general feeling, it is declared,
that the day, as now observed, does not
belong to the old soldiers, as 1t should;
that in the popular devotion to sports of
all kinds its special significance is for
gotten. There is much reason in the con-
tention and the adoption of a Sunday for
the combined memorial service and pa
triotic service would obviate the secular
features which are now inseparable from
Memorial Day. At the coming National
Encampment in Minneapolis the change
of date will be discussed and probably
acted upon if what appears to be the
present sentiment prevails.
"A banker going home for his dinner
saw ten-dolar bill on the curbstone.
He picked it up and took the money home
in order to find the owner. While at
home his wife remarked that the butcher
had sent bill amounting to $40. The
only money he had with him was the bill
he had found, which he gave to hor and
she paid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to the farmer for calf and the farmer
paid it to merchant, who in turn paid it
to washwoman, and she, owing the
banker note of $40 went to the bank and
paid the note. The banker recognized
the bill as the one be had found, and
which, up to that time, had paid $50 of
debt. On careful investigation he dis
covered that the bill was counterfeit Now
will some of our friends Tell us what has
been lost in this transaction, and by
whom?-Kansas City journal.
The Ladies' Reading Circle of Tio-
