"That is because the horses are allowed to
drink while they eat, the same as man
kind. Our horses, let them be as thirsty
as can be, must still eat their dry fodder,
their dry hay and oats, with nothing to
wash them down. But in Norway every
horse has bucket of water beside his
manger, and as he eats he also drinks"
If farmer should tell his neighbor
that he was willing to sell his crop of
| first-class wheat for five cents per bushel
he would promptly be dubbed liar or a
lunatic. When strange street salesman
makes an assertion equally as incon-
sistent with common sense, many reason
ably intelligent people promptly accept
his statements for the truth. Remem ber
these facts when the next fraud presents
a get-rich-quick scheme.
The open season for killing deer be-
gan ON Friday last, but up to the hour of
going TO press no reports had reached this
office of any having been taken. This is
accounted for probably by the fact that
only male deer, with horns, may be kill
ed, and they only with guns propelling a
single bullet. It's good law If rigidly
enforced, and in few years, if all female
deer are spared, decided increase in
the number OF these noble animals may
be looked for.
The mill of Henry & Campbell, on
the Shipe tract, hack Of Dodge's, one mile

hood of 10000 feet of hardwood. They

"A. c. Beason, T. P. Ksrns and j. e.
Stitzinger, of Kellettyille, killed bear
which dressed 200 pounds, last Thursday,
near the old Fort Pitt mills, in Kingsley
township. The bear had first been
caught in steel trap and showed fight
when the men approached. The same
parties trapped and killed large bear
at the same place the Sunday previous.
This one. was very docile, however. as
one of the men was allowed to get close
enough to place his hand on its back be-
fore 1t was shot.
"A. G. McComb, real estate broker of
Pittsburg drank carbolic acid at his resi-
dence ON Duquesne Heights, Tuesday
morning of last week, and died in great
agony in less than an hour after swallow
ing the draught. He was a victim of asth-
ma, and was in the habit of taking medi-
cine in the morning in order to obtain re-
lief for his ailment. By mistake he pick
cd up the wrong bottle and drank of its
contents. The deceased was a former
prominent citizen of Clarion, and had
many scqusintances in Forest county.
Joseph A. Weible of Warren county,
aged so years, once prominent in the
political affairs of his county, died at
Harrisburg Friday morning after an i'll
ness of over year from stomach trouble.
For the past nine years Mr.. Weible had
been clerk in the state department, be-
ing placed there by Senator Cummings.
Mr.. Weible was for many years resident
of Tidioute. and with his brothers promi-
nently identified with the oil producing
business in Warren and adjacent counties.
He was twice elected prOthonotary of his
county. He is survived by his wife, one
daughter and one son.
The McNesl Gas Company has sold
the gas from their lease in Jefferson
county to the Jefferson Gas Company and
it will be turned into the lines supplying
the manufacturing plants of Warren.
We are glad to be able to state that this
gas is coming to Warren, as it insures
plenty of fuel for the industries of that
place for some time to come. The Nc.
Neal company has three wells on their
property-two of them big ones-and
many thousands ofscres yet to drill. We
understand they get eight cents per
thousand for the gas at the wells, and the
indications are that 1t will be money
maker for the stockholders of the COM
psny.-Shef1ield Observer.
S. j. Clelsnd, of Tidioute saw small
black bear in the public road near the
Funk church Thursday afternoon. The
animal would not weigh more than 100
pounds. 1t had evidently come into close
contact with hunter or trap, as it car
ried one of its front legs in sling. The
cub showed his ugly disposition by want
ing to fight Mr.. Clelsnd. He was not ac-
commodated. That bears are somewhat
plentiful in that neighborhood is suffi-
ciently in evidence by the fact that not
fewer than halfa dozen have been seen
crossing the Allegheny river at West
Hickory within week. The bear sea-
son is now at its height, rattlesnakes
having gone into cold storage for the
winter.-Tltusville Herald. May be so,
but we can't find anyone at Hickory who
knows anything about the six bears
crossing the river.
This town was thrown into fever of
excitement at about the noon hour last
Wednesday by the report that large
black bear had been seen within its sa-
cred precincts. While Mrs. H. S. Bohall,
who resides in the Landers house at the
lower end of town, was attending her
domestic duties bruin came down off the
hill and strolled into the back yard,
