Wing Hill.

Once more the sun is shining and
things have taken on aspiring look. Veg
citation is beginning to start and unless
Joshua refuses to shine and frosts come
there will be an abundance of fruit in
this section. Already the farmers are
planting corn and hustling with their
work between showers, which are many.
1t seems the rains and floods have been
quite destructive, some gardens being
almost washed away.
blessed are the peacemakers" is a fine
motto which ought TO hang on the walls
of every home. Thsre are a great many
people who don't read their Bibles. or
they don't have the right conception il
they do. We are here for a few days to
live in harmony and be good, not to
back bite aud devour. Will some trav-
cling evangelist with a voice like thunder
come this way and preach from the text
of deadly poison and no man can tame
IT," A good collection is promised to the
minister who is not a pulpit coward and
declares the whole counsel of God.
No large trout catches yet. 1t is
thought the high waters drowned the
trout or washed them away.
Many people of this place, young and
old, are counting this week.
o. L. Fitch of Chicago was a caller on

The roads are in terrible shape. They
very much need a good old scrape.
Snakes, snakes, snakes! Not snakes in
the boots nor snakes 10 the grass, but real
rsttlesnakes. Fifer Miller and his two
sons of Beaver Valley, o. Highfield and a
Mr.. Kiffer went to the r%attlesnake den
last Sunday and killed % rattlesnakes
Three days before . we're killed and dur
ing the same week Saul Mealy and Mr..
Highfield killed three, making a total of
30 reptiles. People ought to be encour-
aged to visit the dens often and kill them
Off and then berry pickers would not
need to wear joints of stove pipe on their
legs to keep from getting bitten.

IN cutting the appropriation for general
road improvement in half leaving the
amount two million instead of four, as
passed by the legislature, Governor
Stuart, while actuated by a desire to keep
the expenses within the revenues, has to
a large extent impaired the work of the
highway department in its desire to ex-
tend Macsdam road making throughout
the state, and it will doubtless be impos-
sible under the circumstances to take up
any new work in that line. 1t is prob
able, however that the work now under
way can be furthered to considerable ex-
tent with the funds that will be available
under the reduced appropriation, and
that will help some.

Letter From an Old TioneStau.

From a letter OF J. d. Hulings, dated
May II, to his old friend, VIM. Lawrence,
we are privileged to make the following
extracts. Dad as we "old dodgers"
best know him, and who left here some
% years ago, is located at Ward, Colorado,
where he is nursing several promising
gold-mining claims. He says:
"Your postal card came to hand last
evening and l was glad to hear from you,
and much obliged for the paper. 1 have
had good health since have been on the
mountains, but it is not a good place to
spend the winter. This camp has been
dull the past winter, not much doing,
while the weather has been cold and snow
very deep. | expect to dispose of my in
terests this summer and get out of the
mountains. 1t has beer lonesome here
since 'Davey' Hilands left us. He went
to stay with his sister in Kansas. 1t
seems a long time since | left old To
nesta, and | want to be remembered to
all of the odd boys in town.

New Laws Approved.

Governor Stuart's time limit for acting
on the legislation left on his hands expired
Saturday. Among the bills approved in
the last few days are the following:
The Tustin bill for a parolement of
convicts was approved. 1t provides that
the court may suspend sentence of a con
Wet and place the prisoner upon parole in
charge of a probation officer in all cases,
except where the prisoner has been con-
victed of murder, administering poison,
kidnapping, incest, sodomy, rape, assault
with intent to rape, arson or burglary of
an inhabited dwelling house.
Providing for the parole of prisoners in
the Eastern and Western peuilentiaries
is another radical departure of the act.
Instead Of sentencing a prisoner to a pen.
itentiary for a definite term, judges are to
sentence them for an undetermined
period, stating the minimum and maxi
mum term prescribed by law. Prisoners
can then apply to the board of inspectors
al the monthly session at the %penitentiary
and if it appears to the board ofinspectors
that parole should be granted they shall
so report to the Governor; if the board Of
Pardon's recommend the parole the Gov.
ernor is to grant it.
Other bills we're approved as follows,
and are now laws:
Fixing the salaries of county com,
missioners in counties of less than 7O,OOl
population AS follows: From 5000 Il
so. 900, $1,000 per year; $4,000 to $4,000
81, 900 per year; less than 1000, $500 pc

ImpOrtant Lumber Suit.

The Derrick's Franklin correspondent
writes, under date of 18th inst, concern
ing an important suit that has been in
stituted in Venaug county, as follows;
"a bill in equity was filed with the
prothonotary this afternoon which rep
resents a suit of some magnitude. The
paper was filed by attorney j. s. Car
michael representing the plaintiff, the
President Oil Company, of Emlenton,
composed of T. b. Gregory and H. J
Crawford in trust for T. B. Gregory, h.
j. Crawford, j. j. Grosser, e. o. Craw-
ford, T. b. Grant, G. e. Henry, ID. L..
Taylor and S. Trueman. The defendants
are w. j. Grandin, Jr., and G. p. Buck
lin, doing business as the Grandin Lum-
Der Company. The bill states that the
plaintiff company came into possession of
$4,000 acres of timber land in President
and Pinegrove townships. Vensngo coun-
ty, formerly a part of the j. M. Clapp
estate, and they entered into agreement
with the defendant company in 1908 to
cut and market the timber Tor a term OF
five years, paying the plaintiff company
so per cent. of the net proceeds. Under
the agreement the lumber company was
to furnish the oil company a correct
monthly statement relative to the amount
oflumber cut aud sold. 1t is averred by
the plaintiff that during the period cov-
cred by the contract owe S50O,0OO worth
of lumber was manufactured and sold,
but that the defendants did not make a
correct acc 'unting, the monthly reports
being incorrect and kept for the sole pur-
pose of misleading the plaintiff. The
case is an important one and will be Wig
orously fought. w. A. and w. W. Hind
man, of Clarion, are associated with Mr..
Carmichael in the plaintiffs case.'

make heavy cuts in the appropriation
bills, and many of the largest were vetoed
outright, in order to bring the expendi-
lures within the States Among
the number thus disspproved was his
own project, the big road bill connecting
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. 1t carried an
appropriation of s., 600, 900, and in with
holding his signature he says: "As l
have been compelled to make large re-
ductions in the appropriations made by
the legislature for The reason that they
are in excess of the revenues of the state
l have concluded after serious considera-
ton that in order not to interfere with the
appropriations for the maintenance of the
public schools, the INDECENT insane, the
charities of the commonwealth and the
consumptive poor, and as it has been
necessary for mt to withhold my approx
al from other meritorious appropriation
bills, this bill is not approved"
Other measures vetoed are the capital
PARK extension bill, carrying a S2,OOO,OOO
appropriation, and the big school code.
The latter bill was so changed in its
course through the legislature as to de-
feat many of the very objects which it
originally sought TO attain that In the
opinion of the Executive the bill was
rendered of little value. And aside from
this there was evidence that the word
district had been substituted for city
in one section of the bill after it had
passed the legislature and before il
reached the Governor.

THE criminal insane IN state and coun-
ty asylums will from this time on havet 10
be maintained by the treasures of their
home counties. Heretofore the state has
made no distinction between criminal
and INDECENT insane, both being main
tanned alike out of the state treasury.
Auditor General Young has directed his
travelling auditors to eliminate the crimi-
nal insane from their returns, as he has
decided that the law does not authorize
him to approve state maintenance for
these any more than it would for other
criminals who are kept in the state peni-
tentiaries at the expense of the counties
from which they were sentenced. At the
Auditor Generals office it was stated that
there is no way of estimating what the
saving will be to the state, owing to the
fact that both kinds o insane were classed
together in the returns of previous years.
