Congressman Wheeler has recon-
mended L. @, Wright for appointment to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of the
postmaster at YoungsYille, Warren coun-
ty, some months ago. There was at first
quite a scramble for the place, the contest
finally narrowing down to two, and the
successful applicant seemed to develop
the greater strength with the business
men of the town.
The Herald recalls that it was eight
years ago Monday morning that Chief of
Police Daniel McGrath was shot to death
man w. j. Sheeby was badly wounded
and one yeggman was killed. Later
Frank Major went to the gallows for the
crime and Frank Woodward is now serv-
ing a thirty-four-yesr sentence in the
Western penitentiary.
Last Wednesday while Charles Bo-
ward and Arthur Stroup we're drying
along the road leading from Mayburg to
Wing Hill, they saw huge black bear
crossing the road about hundred yards
ahead of them. They had big revolver
with them, but of course it had gotten
into the most inaccessible place, in an
overcoat pocket and that serving as a
cushion to sit upon. So bruin escaped
without so much as a scare.
The W. h. @. ladies of this place are
interested in a worthy cause, helping
those in the Brookville Memorial Home,
and on Thursday, Nov. 14th, at 2 o'clock

canned fruit, jellies. muslin, towellng,
long table cloths, and anything that will
he of benefit and use in that institution.

kins store, where all donations should be
left.
The Christian Endesvor Society will
hold market in the Sunday school room
of the Presbyterian church next Satur-
day afternoon, November 10th, at two
o'clock. AS the society is anxious to
liquidate debt which is resting upon it,
it solicits the liberal patronage of the
members of the church and congregation.
Many appetizing dishes for the evening
dinner will be on sale. Meat rolls, potato
chips, baked beans, pies and cakes, with
many additional tidbits. Come and buy.
The regular quarter sessions court for
November convenes next Monday. The
civil list does not embrace great many
causes, but some of them are of more
than ordinary importance and will take
considerable time in their disposal. A
few minor criminal matters will be dis
posed of. The decorators who have been
at work on the court room for some time,
expect to finish this week, and the large
room will present much more CHEEKY
and inviting appearance than heretofore.
Geo. b. Armstrong was lucky in re-
gaining possession of the money, forty
dollars, he lost on the I'd inst, note Of
which was made in the REPUBLICAN last
week. Kenneth Haslet and Parker
Flick, bright little lads of our town, were
passing the creek bridge when they es-
pied the four ten-dollar gold certificates
which had been scattered some distance
along the path at the side of the road,
they having evidently been the first to
pass that way after the currency had es-
capped from the owners pocket. The
boys brought their find home and await
ed some word from the owner, which
came through the medium of the next
issue of the REPUBLICAN. Mr.. Arm
strong rewarded the boys handsomely,
giving them five dollar gold piece.

In front of The Blizzard sanctum
window, tied to telegraph pole, stands a
poor shivering horse the general appear
ance of which is suggestive Of detection,
discouragement,-ac condition similar to
that of man who relies that his lite has
been failure and who il calmly waiting
for the signal to cross the river. The use
of the tie-strap is evidently superfluous
