On Saturday morning, when a south
bound train on the p. r. r. was a mile
north of Eagle Rock, a fawn came out oi
the woods and started to run ahead of the
engine, maintaining distance of about
800 ties ahead of the locomotive and con-
tlnuing for half mile, and then jumped
to one side and disappeared in the woods.

Our former Forest county citizen, AL.
Slgworth of Lineville has, it seems, de-
veloped into the champion gardener oi
western Pennsylvania this season. He
announces that he had new ripe tomatoes
from his own garden for dinner last
Thursday and he has embryo cucumbers
that are three inches long. Speaking OF
country products, it is said that there was
never before such bumper crop of wild
Strawberries in this section.
"A party composed of members of
Tionesta Lodge, No. 1863, !. o. o. F.,
drove to Tylersburg last Saturday night
for a visit with their brethren of Yoko-
hama Lodge, and all report splendid
time. The party was made up of Charles
Clark, S. h. Hood, W. H. Hood, Fl. r.
Sigworth, George Henshaw, d. W. Nor
rison, C. F. Felt, Frank Armstrong,
Andrew Armstrong, L. L. Zuver, Harvey
Johnston, G. A. Childs and Orion Allio.
Fred A. Shaw, treasurer and general
manager of the Forest Gas. Co., of Tidi-
cute, was business visitor here Monday,
and the REPUBLICAN is indebted to him
for visit before leaving town. Mr..
Shaw is the Democratic candidate for
Presidential Elector in this district and
would be glad to give his friend Bryan a
lift in the electoral college, but realizes
the remoteness of such a chance in rock
ribbed Republican Pennsylvania.
The borough school board met yes
terday morning and completed the work
of selecting teachers for the ensuing term
by electing Prof. Frank w. Gill, of Lith-
opolis, Ohio, principal, and Prot. Orlo
Moore of franklin, assistant to the prin-
cipal. Both men come well RECON-
mended as successful educators. The
salaries we're fixed at 800 and $50, respect
lively. The date of the beginning of the
term was not determined, but will prob
ably be the last Monday in August, 3lst.
-Tonesta now has about four hundred
feet o t paved streets, that much of Elm
street at the northern terminus having
been completed Saturday. Contractors
Beck Il OFT made quick work of the short
stretch at that point in order not to i'm
pede travel from the upper end of the
borough longer than necessary, and now
the street is open again to vehicles, and
the balance of the work can progress
without again obstructing travel. The
first of September will see the completion
OF the paving to the river bridge unless
too much hindered by unfavorable
weather.
Some of the local automobile drivers
will do we'll to bear in mind that there is
no law compelling everybody in the
vicinity to climb tree or telegraph pole
whenever they toot their "honkers." Too
many of them seem to entertain the mis-
taken idea that they have the right of
eminent domain, and that all other hu-
man beings must get out of the way when
they squeeze the elastic bulb. The fore
going from the Oil City Blizzard applies
with equal force to every community
where autos are driven. They are a great
machine but their DRYERS should not as
sumo that they own the earth.
Avoid ice water il you would be con-
siderate of your stomach this hot weather.
This is the advice given by prominent
physician, stomach specialist. In his
ice water and other iced drinks is one of
the most frequent causes of stomach dis
orders. Ice cold beverages may be taken
safely by slipping, letting them become
warm in the mouth before swallowing.
But when gulped down they excite the
stomach, causing rush of blood to that
organ, followed by feeling of depression
and faintness. No animal will drink ice
water. Nature teaches them better. says
this physician. Water or other drinks,
which are just cool, or ever lukewarm,
are far more refreshing and invigorating,
although they may not please the palate
at once.
The partial eclipse of the sun which
had been billed to take place on Sunday
morning last "drew good house," and
the performance was witnessed through
smoked glass with intense interest by
about every man, woman and child in
the land. The forenoon was clear and
bright, affording all splendid opportu-
nifty to view the rare phenomenon. A
little before ten o'clock the moon began
to cut into the SUMS disc at the southern
edge and when the show was at its best,
shortly before eleven O'clock, about three
fourths of the great orb was obscured
leaving perfectly formed crescent at the
top and northern rim. The atmosphere
assumed a peculiarly hazy appearance,
and the shadows had rather "spooky"
look. There seemed to be quite per-
