OIL GUSHER ON CHURCH LOT
Services Had to Be Abandoned, but
Congregation May Now Pay
Its Debts.

Butler. April Sunday services OF
the Reformed congregation at Peters
vile, in the cabbage patch" oil field,
were interfered with through the
striking of a gusher by the Acorn OIL
company on the church lot within 90
feet of the ediiice.
The well came in Saturday even
ing and made fine flow during the
night and in the morning, rendering 1t
necessary to work large force Sun
day to take care of the oil. The well
Is God-send to a struggling congre-
cation with a heavy church debt.
The trustees, who brought dissen'
sion in the congregation by leasing
the ground for oil speculation, are
jubilant today and several members
of the flock who declared It wrong
to drill for oil on the property are re-
ported to have changed their minds.
The gusher, it is predicted, vii
yield enough revenue to pay off the
church debt and the pastors salary
and provide money to keep up the
church expenses.
There is already talk of raising the
pastors salary and erecting new
parsonage The well may settle to
l00-barrel producer

WHILE the succeeding explanation was
made before the last uniform primaries,
we find, owing to questions that have
been asked, that it will be well to once
more explain that voter at the primaries
may only vote for the candidates of one
party. Many people still think that a
voter can vote for some democrats and
some republicans, at the primaries April
IL. The fact that the primary election is
held under the law by the regular election
board has led to this conclusion. The
uniform primaries law, approved Febru-
ary II, 1906, provides that the county
commissioners shall prepare and furnish
the election officers for use at the prima-
ries, as many official ballots of each party
as are equal to double the total number
of votes cast for any candidate Of said
party as are within the election district at
the laat general election and the names oi
all the candidates for nomination by the
Republican party will be printed on one
ballot, the names of all the candidates fol
nomination by the Democratic party will
be printed on another ballot, and the
Prohibition on another. When a votel
enters the polls he will be required tC
announce which ballot he desires to have
and the election officers will furnish hin
with one of the party for which he asks
1t will thus be seen that no voter can vot
for some Republicans and some Demo
Gratis. as he can only receive one ballot

To the Public.

The following article is published as
an advertisement.-ED.l
George w. Osgood, candidate for AS
sembly, of this county, was born at
Buck Mills CVenargo) now Forest county,
Pa, on July 4, 1852. AS candidate it is
fair that the people should know some-
thing of his life and service in the past.
His father, Hiram Osgood, was an old
and respected lumberman and farmer,
who was born at Osgood Island, in the
same township. He is also a grandson
of that we'll known pioneer, Amy Pur-
dy, who was one of the earliest and most
prominent settlers in the Tionesta valley.
George w. made his first trip on Tio-
nesta Creek when he was but a youth of
nine years of age, and made trip to
Pittsburg, when he was but twelve. He
attended the common schools diligently
and acquired as good business educa-
tion as they afforded. Later in life he
always took great interest in schools, as
he was chosen for several years a school
director by his fellow citizens. Becom-
ing pilot on the creek when but four
teen years of age, running RATS for Mr..
White, jobber for Wheeler, Dusenbury Il
Co., he followed the creek and river, pi-
lotng RATS and boats numberless times
almost up to the present.
He has held many offices of trust in
the county. When only twenty-one years
of age he was appointed tax collector, and
during his life long residence in Kingsley
Of about fifty years, held many township
offices, performing his duties faithfully.
In 1902 he was elected State Delegate to
the Republican convention held at Har-
risburg. In 1904 he served az Chairman
Of the Republican County Committee.
So this record shows that he has always
been useful az township officer, true to
his constituents and party affiliations
during his whole life which has been
within the borders of Forest county.

TEACHING YOUNGSTERS

Over 1900 school Children of West
Dea Moines Ia, have been induced to
save money and TO start bank ac-
count More than i,50O Of them have

The credit Of the achievement he
longs first to the Mothers congress OF
Iowa, which organized the Penny
Provident association in October, 1901.
'Ehp plan used III West loes Moines is

Tie principal of each building is
supplied with stamps and folders in
which fifty ope-cent stamps can be
pasted. Every Friday at q certain
hour the principal Is in her office to
sell stamps to the children.

without any difficulties or complaints
and has educated not only the child

The principals, as q rule, do not find
the work much trouble. for they have
only to get a cent for2eNery stamp and
have no accounts to keep with the
children. They arc even allowed car
fare for taking the money to the bank
on Saturdays.
