The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1907-07-03

III we don't get fooled in our calcula-
tions there will be no paper issued from
this office next week. To-morrow's the
Fourth, and as the glorious old day, like
Christmas, comes but once a year, We
think she ought to be religously kept.
Whether the REPUBLICAN is issued or
not, the Office door will still swing in
ward to all who desire TO square up the
old account and start right in the new,
and 1t is hoped there'll be not few.
The excavation for the cellar or base
ment of Mr.. Sigworth's new building
being completed the foundation walls are
now in the hands of the masons. The
structure will be a commodious three
story affair, counting the basement,
which is intended as a plumbing and
timing shop. Mr.. Sigworth expects to
occupy the new building before cold
weather sets in.
Thursday last dogs killed five of VIM.
Shellhouses best sheep, on German Hill.
The same worthless dogs made way with
two of Henry Glsssner's sheep in the
same neighborhood. A yellow hound
and shepherd dog were seen in the
community and are supposed to be the
ones that did the mischief. A week or so
prior number of sheep were killed over
in the Redbrush end of the township, by
the same pair of CANNES, who seem to be
strangers in the country which they are
in the habit of raiding.
-"The skin of muskrst taken and
of asthma in the world" said L. j. Davis,
OF Louisville, at the Hotel Duncan. 81
had an uncle who suffered a thousand
deaths with asthma and tried everything
that could be bought in the way of medi-
cine. Finally one day an old-tme friend
told him of the muskrat skin and he tried
1t. In two months he was as well as he
had ever been. Just how the skin works
about cure is mystery, but it will do
it."-Nashville Tennessee.
The appearance of Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan at Chatauqua, New York, on
Saturday, July 6, at $50 p. m., will bring
a famous man to a famous platform. For
"a years the Chatsuqua platform has been
a forum for men with message, and Mr..
Bryan's address will be feature of great
interest TO the public. Fresh from tour
of the world during which he was accord
ed universal recognition as one OF Amer
ica's most distinguished citizens, Mr..
Bryan will speak of "The Old World and
Its Ways" as they look to an American.
The entertainment given by the pu-
pills of the simmer school at the court
house last Thursday evening was decid-
ed success in all respects, and the attend
snce was so large that standing room was
at a premium and scores were turned
away because they could not even get
that. The Rotations, readings, vocal
and instrumental music, and drills were
all pleasingly rendered. showing much
care and training in the preparation of
the extensive program. The small ad-
mission fee of ten cents proved to be
ample for the meeting of all expenses
connected with the pleasing affair.
The Erie Herald of Monday has this
to say of catcher John Lawrence: "The
release of Catcher Lawrence will not be
endorsed by everybody, for there are a
great many of the local enthusiasts who
were firm in their belief that this little
boy was al least as good as Daley, if, in
deed he did not have something on the
young man from Pittsburg. His place is
taken by Hopkins, who was picked up
on last weeks trip Lawrence's bat
ting average was 23l, fielding average 937.
Only two men in the team had better
batting average. The averages of Daley,
the other catcher, were, batting ODD and
fielding 900.
The frog season is now officially on,
and if the lusty croaker will take the red
flannel you are at liberty TO add him to
your game sack. The high and roily
condition of the river has been rather
to the propagation of this
''game" species. The frog thrives best
in sluggish, stagnsnt pools, aud that's
why some ultra iastidious people are
prejudiced against him as toothsome
delcacy, but he's all right once you have
him in the spider, rolled in cracker dust
and broiled to finish in hot lard, and
you are not apt to shy at his carcass if
garnished and served by the average
culinary artist. Try him.
Elizabeth, the four-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Mckee, of Tio-
nesta township, was kicked in the face
by horse which was pasturing in the
yard, last Sunday morning, and very
injured, DR.. Dunn, who was
found bad cut about an
inch and half long on the child's fore
head, the process of the jaw bone crushed |
on the right side, and number of teeth |
broken off. Just how the accident oc-
Cured is not known as no one witnessed
it, 1t is evident, however, that she did
not receive the full force of the blow, as
she was not unconscious at any time.
The parents were in town Tuesday with
the child and the physician thinks she
will recover should no complications
arise.
The Kellettville mail team, while
standing united at the Bridge street cor
