| nom the Derrick: Some local POLITICIANS
engaged in the earnest discussion OF
"who would have charge in case the
President and Vice. President of the
United States shdAld die simultaneous
ly?" Most of them decided that the Sec
retarY of State would be the one eligible.
They acknowledged their error when the
man propounding the query announced
that "the undertaken" was the correct
answer.
Lewis A. Albaugh, in his SD year,
died at his home in Oil City, Thursday
morning last, from spasmodic asthma,
after an illness of several weeks dura-
tion. The deceased will be remem bered
by many Tionesta people as having re-
sided here with his brother, George AL
bsugh, about 25 years ago. He was con-
stable in his ward at the time ofhs death.
The funeral, conducted by Rev. r. A.
Zahniser, of the Free Methodist church,
was held on Saturday.
The Tidioute News was thirty-three
years old on WashiDgton's birthday, the
paper having been guided almost this
entire u ID ofa century by the present
owner, CHARLES E. White, who says, like
Washington, 1t has never told lie
hardly ever-which we guess is no lie
either. The News has been clean, honest
and fair above the average of country
weeklies, on account OF which it has en-
joyed good patronage and good stand
ing in its community. And we wish for
it continuance of fair weather and
smooth sailing
There iA bill before the legislature
known Is the Nurse Registration bill.
which sAould be put promptly to sleep.
It prOv les for the registration of nurses
before ley can enter upon their duties as
such, and places the matter in the hands
off few nurses who may accept or reject
applicants for registry, In other words
the bill seeks to create nurse monopoly.
A schedule of rates is provided in the
bill, which practically puts the question
of nurse hire out OF the reach of those in
ordinary circumstances. Surely the leg
islature has better sense than to impose
such measure on the people.
"A note from friend at Arrow, Som
erset county, Pa, gives an account of a
big cnt of lumber made on the Bsbcock
mill at that place. Scott Kearns is super
intendent of the mill: February lst the
short side and gang mill cut l,222 logs,
with Asa Barnaby as sawyer, and James
Beatty formerly of this county, as flleI
on the gang. This beats the largest cut
Ufer made on the mill by $50 logs. On
the same day the long side also made
big cut of 24-ioot logs, the output being
over 1000. Floyd Feeter was the saw
yer and Webster W. Underwood filer. 1
tell you here is where they cut the lum-
ber with successful superintendent,
filers and sawyers. PUCK"
Alfred Cunningham, we'll known TO
many of our readers as former resident
of this county, died at the Franklin hos
pital Sunday evening of typhoid pneu-
monia. The deceased was born at Fry
burg, Clarion county, Feb. 3, 1874, and
was moulder by trade. He was young
man of industry and good habits and
popular with fellow employees and social
ASSOCIATES. His parents died some years
ago and he is Survived by the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. Ellen Staub,
Lucinda Mrs. Richard Cogan, Crown;
Miss Mary Cunningham, Oil City; VIM.
and Richard of Marienville; Edward. Jo-
seph, Matthew, James and John of Kel-
lettville, and Frank of Pittsburg. The

j. w. Lusher, of Titusyille, G. S.
Hastings. of Tidioute, and w. B. Poor, of
Shsmburg, were business visitors in
Tionests last Thursday, and while here
Messrs. Lusher and Hastings sold to Mr..
Poor the tract of timber in Hickory town
ship known as the old Braceville tract.
The tract is on Beaver run, six miles east
of Endesvor, and is part of Warrants 52lS
and 5233. The tract contains 1l44 acres,
on which there is estimated to be about
a million and halfofmerchantable pine,
red oak, white oak and chestnut timber,
and about 1000 railroad ties. The tim
ber was cut of twenty-five years ago, but
there remains much of value, both in old
timber and in second growth. The con-
sderation was private, but is understood
to have been a rather fancy figure. In
the near future Mr.. Poor will begin lum-
bering operations there.
The Cambridge Springs Enterprise is
responsible for the following; 1.-The an
nouncement some time ago of an apple
having been produced with one side sour
and the other side sweet has been thrown
into the dark shadow by greater discov-
cry of local horticulturist. This gentle
man has been experimenting for some
time by grating the apple twigs upon
the chestnut tree but until lately has nev-
er succeeded in getting anything ofvalue.
All previous attempts have only pro-
duced small sour apple covered with
very thick prickly skin very much re-
sembling chestnut hurr. The result
that has so long been looked for has been
accomplished at last by grating the top
limbs of the Baldwin apple tree upon the
lower branches of a second growth chest
nut and must be done while the moon is
full. The fruit so far produced is the size
of large naval orange, but instead of the
usual core the centre of the apple is filled
with handful of nice plump chestnuts.
