"A Brookville correspondent of the
Punxsutawney Spirit, under date of the
9th inst, gives the following rather
startling item: "Through some error it
was rumored on our streets the other day
that Mr., A. w. Cook, the we'll known
lumberman of this place, and his son. A.
Wayne, Jr., had been drowned in an ac-
cident in Washington state. All fears as
to the truth of this report have been set
aside by the receipt of letters from Mr..
Cook, who Is sojourning in Idaho at pres.
ent, looking after timber interests"
Record Keeper M. G. Raub returned
home early yesterday from Detroit, Mich,
where he attended the X. o. T. NJ. con-
vention last week. He states that he has
seen articles going the round to the effect
that DR.. st. c. Wineland has defeated the
X. o. T. M. This report is false, as a
decision was given in favor of the X. o.
t. M. The Judge, in handing down his
decision, said that the Maccabees had a
perfect right to change their rating when
they did and would be open to censure
had they not done so.-Bradford Star.
From August 4-10, DR.. j. Wilbur
secretary of the General AS
sembly's committee of Evangelistic
Work for the Presbyterian Church, will
be at Chautauqua, New York, as in many
previous years. His presence during
Bible week is always attended by most
interesting sermons and devotional hours
which are enjoyed by very large au-
dience. 1t is no unusual thing to see
2 900 or 5000 listeners meeting with DR..
Chapman in the daily devotional hour
from 10 to IL o'clock, on the morning of a
busy week day.
r. S. Pierce, a prominent citizen Of
North East, Erie county, died on the 10Th

many Forest county people, having re-

time seemed to be enjoying good health.
Heart trouble caused his death.
This seems to be good season for
snakes, and the papers of the country are
filled with snake stories, but not every
paper can have representative OF the
'bug" do the killing. Yesterday after
noon G. s. Kirchartz, collector for the
Times, slaughtered fine rattler at the
corner Of Glade and Conewsngo avenues.
The reptile bad about three feet of length
and supply of button and rattles. When
sighted it was summing itself along the
edge of the sidewalk, and number of
bareiooted children were playing in the
Times. Go slow,
Charlie. Mind, you never saw many
snakes when you lived here.
"A law now on the statutes prohibits
the shooting of any except male deer
with horns that can plainly be seen. A
doe, fawn, or spike buck cannot be killed,
but only those bucks whose horns are
developed and which can plainly be seen
by the hunter. The object of this is not
only to protect the game, but to protect
the hunter. The statistics show that hun
dreds of men are killed by careless hun
ters who see bush waving or move
ment in the underbrush and blaze away
at it only to furnish a subject for the
coroner. State Game Commissioner
was instrumental in having the
new law passed, and says that there will
be very few accidental killings in Penn.

law, and hold back their fire until they
are certain the target is male deer with
horns.
The striped, snorting two-mile.a-
life-risking automobiles have
been sptly designated as freskish futil-
ity. They are public nuisance, and
their maniac drivers have incurred the
enmity of farmers, and all others who
drive horses and have been compelled to
take to the woods when the racing ben
comes in sight, says the Oil
City Blizzard. And these are positive
facts. Unless more nationality is displayed
in the running of these death dealing
devils the people will finally take the law
in their own hands, and there will be
doing besides recklessly fright
ening horses, causing runaways that re-
suit in smashing vehicles and manning
and often killing their occupants. More
sense and decency must be exercised or
sooner or later there will be internal
warfare.
