cerning Christianity"
An old time fisherman gives the fol-
lowing hint to those who know or
imagine that fish caught in local waters
have the taste of crude oil. Treat the fish
the same as an unplucked chicken.
Plunge it into boiling hot water until
scum arises and then take the fish out of
the vessel. This operation makes it
easier to remove the fins and scales and it
is said to obliterate any of the crude oil
taint in the taste of the "crtter."
An associated press dispatch from
Harrisburg, under date of 10th inst, says
Deputy Attorney General Cunningham
today rendered an opinion to Deputy
State Highway Commissioner Beman to
the effect that the annual tax ofSl which
the road supervisors of each township are
authorized by the act of April II, 1905, to
assess against each taxable" applies to
the residents of their respective town
ships, but not to nonresidents. This set
Ties much controverted question.
g. Ii. Lowe Il Co., the owners of the
oil leases on the Robinson and Mckee
tracts across the river, entertained party
of upwards of seventy of their friends in
most enjoyable clambake last Sunday
at the big spring on the former property.
About thirty of the guests came from
jamestown, MY, the home of the owners
OF the property, and the balance from Oil
City, Tionesta and vicinity. The com
pany, under the leadership of George II.
Lowe, proved themselves to be enter
tainers of the first order, the preparation
and serving of the elegant banquet leav-
ing nothing to be desired. 1t was an oc.
casion thoroughly enjoyed and long to be
remembered by those who were so for
tunate as to be numbered among the
guests. The company has one of the
most valuable and the best equipped oil
properties in all this section and their
success in this line was favorably com
mented upon by many of their guests.
The ball game here last Saturday af
teruoon between Tionesta and Kellett-
vile was very much one-sided, the home
team winning by score of 20 to 7. The
Kelettville pitcher was hit hard but not
as hard as the score would indicate, his
teammates giving him poor support at
critical stages. The visitors were q gen.
tlemanly lot of players and there was no
kicking on the work of umpire David
Blum. Foreman pitched good game
and was well-supported. We understand
the same teams will play at Kellettville
on Saturday, Oct. 10th. The line-ups last
Saturday were: Tionesta Weaver 3D.,
Haslet 2b., Hagerty, h., Gray, c., Fore
man, p, Stroup, IT,, Shriver, mf., Bank
head, s., Blum, ri. Kellettvile-Hen-
drixson, 2b., Arner, If, p. Walsh, 3D.,
Orcutt, s., Russell, mf., B. Walsh, h.,
Bowes, c., Watson, rf, Hayes, p. The
score by innings:

Health Commissioner Dixon of the
State Health Department has sent out a
general warning throughout the state to
call attention to the fact that there is
liable to be an epidemic of smallpox.
Frank Hawbecker, postmaster at West
fairview, this state, recently returned
home from Ford City, between here and
Pittsburg, and shortly after reaching
home was taken i'll With the dread all
ment. At Ford City he attended con-
vention ofa fraternal organization, and
there, as well as on the train on which he
rode, hundreds of people were exposed to
contagion. Alter he reached home, for
several days he handled mail matter, and
doubtless subjected letters, papers and
the mail bags to contamination. These

possible that mail clerks. carriers, and
recipients of mail should escape having

West Fairview, also has smallpox, and

health commissioners warn people the
