r. o. Carson drilled in his No. well
on his farm at NeiHown last Thursday
and 1t is estimated to be good for about
four barrels, natural. They are delayed
In rigging up by some bad luck. While
tubing the we'll, Friday, all of the tubing
but few joints was dropped into the
hole and lost. 1t will probably make a
bad fishing job.
Reports are coming from different
parts of the state. and more especially the
western section, concerning swindlers
who are apparently engaged In peddling
linen. They carry bolts of seemingly
fine Irish linen which they offer at a very
low price, but the fabric is cheap cotton
initiating genuine linen. Householders
should make an iron clad rule to patron
ize oply reputable dealers with whom
they are acquainted.
e. o. McCauley, cashier of the Free
dom (Pa.). National Bank, and f. Y.
Clark, the manager of the Freedom Cas-
'ket Work, who were guests of DR.. j. G.
Dunn recently, were 80 fortunate as to
bring down a wildcat while hunting over
in Harmony township. The feline was
large one, measuring 81 inches in
length, and while its tail may have been
a trifie longer than the specifications call
for, yet 1t was scrapper from the word
go. After being shot out of tree and
badly wounded, the animal made things
lively for the two dogs which the hunters
had with them.
United States Attorney John w. Dun
kle, of Pittsburg, formerly of Warren, is
still suffering from blood poison which
has bothered hin for some weeks. Mr..
Dunkle took vacation in the Canadian
woods and in some way scratched his
hand, making slight wound, to which
he paid no attention. Some foreign mat
ter got into the wound and blood poison
set in.
Don't forget you farmers that 1t is a
matter of ten dollars and costs under the
new pure food law to bring ancient eggs
to market. Better try them all out and
be sure they are fresh to save trouble and
costs. And the grocers had better sit up
and take notice that the law applies to
them as we'll. The consumer has suffered
long time from over ripe hen fruit, but
will fare better hereafter we hope.-Em-

Frank Hunter, whose farm is located
in Green township, on the road leading
from Nebraska to Newmsnsville. is pip
ing gas to his place from the Tlonesta gas
company's wells located on the David
Walters farm. 1t will require 5,400 feet
to cover the distance and Frank was down
yesterday to haul and string the pipe.
James Walters, one of Mr.. Hunters
neighbors will also probably use the gas
from this line.
An old citizen has the weather all
figured out, says an exchange, and asks
the public to take note of the following
predictions: Indian summer will begin
about Nov. l and there will be fine
weather until Nov. 15. Snow will then
begin to fall, and by Nov. 20 there will be
enough of "the beautiful" for good sleigh
ing. Up to the hour of going to press the
fine Indian summer weather had not
materialized.
The bids have been opened for the
four new buildings of the North Warren
State Hospital, and work will be COM
menced upon them next spring. Tie
buildings will be q mems intirmary,
woman's building. dwelling for the stew
ard, and mems building. Bids were
opened October 23rd, and William Han
ley of Bradford was the lowest bidder.
The structures will be finished in time
for occupancy in the fall OF 1908. The new
structures will have room for $50 patients.
The other improvements, such as a
pumping STATEN, piggery, etc., will not
be taken up as yet.
No excursions will be run on any of
the local railroads either on Thanksgiv-
ing or Christmas as has been the custom
in former years. With the introduction
of the two-cent fare In Pennsylvania, the
railroads made a tacit agreement that all
excursions should cease. In past years
rates as low as one and one-half cents
mile were granted. This may or may
not be retaliatory. but it is satisfactory to
the public, With a two cent rate the
year round, the public will not figure on
doing the bulk of its travel at holiday
times and keep a sharp lookout for cheap
rates, when trains are crowded and SER

Halloween was observed in Tionesta
in manner befitting the occasion and at
once sensible. There seems to have been
an utter absence of vandalism, and the
merry makers gave themselves up
wholly to having good time and fur
nishing fun for others. Fully one-half
the burg seemed to have taken on the
mask, and the grotesque costumes and
ridiculous manners of the fun makers
kept the onlookers in torrent of laughter
from early evening till well toward mid
night. The sport WAS not furnished alone
by the younger elment, but many of the
older heads of both sexes got into the
game and helped along with the amuse-
