spected citizens, died at his home in that
city on Sunday. aged II years. Major
Shattuck was prominent in Grand Army
circles and had proud war record. He
had been postmaster at Titusvile, and
register and recorder of Crawford county.
His death came unexpectedly from blood
poison, although he had not been well for
two years past, when he was seriously
injured in a runaway accident.
The Central Pennsylvania Lumber
company has broken ground for the
foundation of large iii at Sheffield,
Pa, which will hsYe daily output of
10000 feet of lumber. The mill will be
constructed of reinforced concrete, and is
TO be completed by Nov. 1st of epresent
year. 1t will contain two band saws and
re-saw. The motive power will be
electricity. Timber for the mill which is
expected will be- in operation for twelve
or fifteen years will be furnished by tracts
in Elk, Warren and Forest counties.
e. N. Bsbcock, who has managed the
Allegheny Springs hotel for several sea-
sons past, is authority for the statement
that Buffalo parties have purchased the
timber on the territory surrounding the
Springs, and will begin cutting it off at
an early date. There are two hundred
and fifty acres in the tract. which is esti-
mated will yield upwards of quarter of
million feet of lumber when sawed.
The cutting Of this timber is apt to impair
to some extent the rustic beauty of the
Springs, and may destroy the place as a
pleasure and health resort.
Have you tried the wares of the new
bakery yet? Mr.. Myers has his plant in
full running order and is turning out a
splendid article of bread, pies, cakes, and
the like, and asks what is in no wise un-
reasonable, your patronage for home
institution of best merit. He has come
among us to live, has brought his family
here and is going to furnish Tionesta and
vicinity with as good, and better, baking
as can be had from any foreign bakery.
He should, and we believe will be, liber-
ally patronized by citizens, not as mat
ter of charity, but because they can do
better and get better satisfaction. Try

Mrs. L. M. Day, Elmlra, had dream.
She is chairvoyant and in her vision
she located a we'll in the Gaines oil field,
which she said would produce great guam
titles of gas or oil. So firmly did she be-
lieve in her dream that she invested over
Sl2,0 900 in the drilling ofthe well. Others
also put in their cash. At depth of
4, 4,S42 feet the tools were lost and the well
abandoned. 1t was neither anoil or gas
producer. 1t is the deepest well in Penn
sylvania and while it did not yield any
thing valuable in the way of petroleum
or gas, it proved beyond a doubt that
wideawake oil prospecters are more like
ly to win than dreamers.
The FOREST REPUBLICAN, edited by
an enthusiastic disciple OF Isaac Walton,
always has the odor of cowslips and dog.
wood blossoms about it, and the exhiler-
ating gurgle OF the mountain brook seems
to reverberate from its local columns,
hence we are surprised at this note of
skepticism in last weeks issue: "Now be
honest. How many did you catch and
how long would you have to be in jail
provided you got the full penalty for the
under sized ones you didn't throw backY"
AS if any man who delights in angling
could be otherwise than scrupulously
honest! -Punxy Spirit. Hate to admit
it, but there sure are some.
"A nervous looking man went into a
store the other day and sat down for half
an hour or so, when clerk asked him II
there was ANYTHING she could do for him.
He said no, he didn't want anything,
She went away and he sat an hour longer
when the proprietor went to him and ask
ed him il he wanted TO be shown anything.
"No," said the nervous man, II just
wanted to sit around. My physician rec
commended quiet for me, and says above
all things should avoid being in crowd.
Noticing that you do not advertise in the
newspapers, l thought this would be as
quiet place as could find, so I just
dropped in for a few hours of isolation"
Seth Norton, whose home is on AL
bsugh hill, Hickory township, was Sc
verely hurt in an accident while en-
ployed in the Zuendel saw mill, located
on Tionesta creek two miles above Ne
braska, on " ednesday of last week. His
clothing was caught in set-screw on a
rapidly revolving line-shaft, and before
the machinery could be stopped he was
whirled several times around the shaft.
When released from his perilous position
it was found that the bones of one of his
elbows were badly shattered, but fortu-
nstely he escaped other injuries. DR..
Kerr, of West Hickory, attended him,
and the injured man is getting along
quite we'll at his home.
