his test well on the Moses Mealy farm,
near Newmansville, Tuesday. The gas
was developed in the fourth or Clarion
sand and was reported to be throwing
water from the we'll forty feet in the air.
The famous "Queen Quality" shoes
for ladies are handled in Tionesta solely
by Hopkins. They speak for themselves,
being unequaled tor style, beauty, com
fort and wearing qualities. A trial will
make you "Queen Quality" customer.

-Orie Sharon, the two months-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G. Bingham, of Ne
brsska, died Saturday, May I'd, after a
short illness of pneumonia. The funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon at
1880 o'clock, conducted by Rev. w. o..
Calhoun, ard the remains were inferred
in the Lutheran cemetery at Newmans-
vile.
One OF the pretty pieces ofinstrumen-
tai music just published is "Hearts Con-
tent Waltzes' by Edna A. Scherer, daugh-
ter of Rev. and Mrs. j. f. Scherer of En-
deavor, one of our county's accomplished
pianists. The editor of the REPUBLICAN
is indebted to the Reverend G Gentleman
for copy of the pleasing and cat chy
composition.
Preparations are being made to begin
work on the new NJ. E. Church. The re-
moval OF the building on the lot will be
the first step, and that work will be in
operation in few days. We understand
the house, which was originally erected
by the late Hamilton Stow over fifty
wears ago, will be sold and moved to a
new location,
"A number of our curious exchanges
are propounding this mooted conundrum:
"Do trout shrink after being caughI?"
Answering which we will state that since
the 6-inch law went into effect and where
it has been enforced, they do. Prior to
that time they expanded or became much
longer after being caught-just according
to who was telling the story.
Mrs. l.. j. Hopkins had the misior-
tune to dislocate her ankle last Friday
evening while returning from a neigh
boring call. About two years ago Mis-.
Hopkins met with similar accident to
the same ankle which renders the present
injury doubly painful, but she is recover
ing rapidly and is now able TO bear much
of her weight on the lame foot.
"A Washington dispatch under date of
April 2s, says: The contest over the ap-
pointment of postmaster at Marienville
has been settled by the announcement
that Representative Wheeler has recon-
mended the appointment of George Song
er for the place to succeed j. II. Morri-
son, VINO has served eight years. Mr..
Morrison's term will not expire until
July |, when the commission of the new
postmaster will be issued.
Last Friday morning, May lst, Hen
ry Blum hauled big load of lath, 25OO,
on seds from the mill, located two and
and half miles up Tubbs run, TO the
mouth of the stream, and found the going
pretty fair. This is an event to date from,
we think, and is performance which is
not likely to be repeated in several gen.
erations. Hauling lumber on sleds in
Forest comfy in May is calculated to
bring one to the belief that the seasons
are really changing.
Somebody has made the rather blood
curdling discovery that the silver quar-
ter is an unlucky coin. 1t has thirteen
stars, thirteen letters on the scroll held in
tae eagles beak, thirteen marginal feath-
ers on each wing, thirteen lines in the
shield, thirteen horizontal bars, thirteen
arrow heads, and thirteen letters in its
name. All this is scary enough, but there
are plenty of everyday people who will
not overlook the fact that thirteen quar-
ters make three dollars and quarter
when you can get that many together.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Gayley, of Ronce-
verte, w. Va, spent last week visiting
among old friends aud relatives at Ne
braska, where they lived for several years
prior to going to West virginia. Mr..
Gayley spent few hours in town Friday
and made the REPUBLICAN pleasant
