The Glorious Fourth at Mayburg.

The 4th of July was observed at May
burg on the Sd. The day dawned bright
and beautiful, and the first event was a
sunrise salute which awakened the pop
ulsce and forced us to realize that the
glorious patriotic Fourth was once more
upon us. The program for the day con-
sisted of fests of skill and endurance,
such as hammer throwing, races, base
ball, etc.
Ed. Burch was an easy winner in the
hammer throwing contest, while Johnnie
Moore distinguished himself as a fast
stopper, coming in so far in advance of
the other contestants that the judges de-
cided he had moi gone over the entire
course and would no reward him with
the prize money.
The base ball games were Mayburg VS..
Tionesta, both games being won by our
team by scores of ALL and 1875. The
Tionesta boys were a gentlemanly set
and played nice clean ball and the game
passed off very quietly, without the usual
wrangle and disputes. Our opponents
showed they possessed skill and grit, but
they we're outclassed when they came up
against MaybuTg. Call again boys aud
we will always treat you right.

A. NJ. Patton Killed by NitrO.Glycer.
Inc EXPLOSION.

Albert M. Patton, of ~Pleasantville, en-
ployed by II. c. Mspes, the torpedo man
u~facturer of Plesssntville, Venango coun-
ty, was killed by an explosion of nitro
glycerine at the NJ. W. Tucker farm at
Fleming hill, near West Hickory, at 2;SO
o'clock Friday afternoon, June 80. Pat
ton had been sent TO the farm TO shoot a
well for the National Oil Company. He
had lowered the shot into the hole and
had dropped two squibs, both of which
failed to set off the stuff in the shell. He
had returned TO the wagon TO make the
third squib and was tamping the fluid in
the small case forming the squib when it
exploded in his hands. There were
several men on the lease about 100 yards
away and they ran to the injured man as
soon as the explosion occurred. They
found his right leg practically torn off at
the hip, his left leg was crushed above
the knee and his abdomen was torn open
aud the bowels were protruding. He was
alive and conscious. He looked one of
the men who was trying to raise him in
the face and said, 1.-THE shooting is all off
now. What will my poor wife and child
rem dor" Superintendent Hogue secured
a rig, placed the injured man in it and
started to drive with him TO the Titusville
hospital. but the injured man died when
about two miles of the journey had been
completed.
He was born in Hartford City, Ind, Sc
years ago, and came from that place about
three years ago and built the nitro-glycer-
inc factory for Mr.. Mspes and entered his
employ as a shooter. He was a man of
experience and a careful worker. He is
survived by his wife, two sons and two
daughters, all small.
Mr.. Mapes, having disposed of his in
~terests, was about to retire from the BUSH
ness and this was the last shot the I'M
fortunate man was to put in, having also
determined to quit the hazardous en-
ployment. The Titusville Herald has in
auguIated a movement to raise a fund for
the widow and children ofthe victim, and
is asking for dollar subscriptions. The
business in which Mr.. Patton was en-
gagged made it impossible for him to Sc
cure life insurance, thus he left his family
practically penniless, a condition which
appeals strongly to all citizens, especially
the chsritably inclined.

wheeIcr's Loyalty TO Oil Producers.

The tariff bill is now in the hands of a
conference committee of the two houses
of congress where it is likely to remain
for some time, perhaps weeks, as the
committee has s47 schedules or changes
to deal with. The n subject of most in
terest to this particular section is crude
oil, and on that product there should be a
reasonable protective duty, but whether
such an amendment can be incorporated
in the measure is a matter ofgrave doubt.
When the bill was before the House the
clause admitting oil free of duty was
carried by a large majority, but 1t is a
qualification TO be able TO say that u
member, Hon. N. p. Wheeler, stood
Loyalty with the oil producers of the
country in working and voting tensc-
iously for a protective duty on their pro-
duct. No man on earth could have done
more in this direction thar Mr.. Wheeler
did. He was one OF the immortal forty
six members that voted and stood out
boldly for the producers interests, and
Judging from the many letters and tele-
grams which he received endorsing his
course they fully appreciate his efforts in
their behalf. And there's where Nelson
P. Wheeler may be found every day in
the week supporting and defending the
interests of the common people against
all corners, a stalwsrt OF the stalwarts in
his loyalty to the principles protection to
American institutions and products.

A NEW feeding stuffs law was enacted
by the last Legislature to take effect the

limits the amount of ground corn cobs
and oat hulls that eau be used in mixed
feeds; prohibits the use of rice bulls and
weed seeds as adultersnts in concentrated
commercial feeding stuffs, and so makes
it possible TO free the markets of Penn
sylYanis from undesirable feeds. The
cooperation of all manufacturers of and
dealers in feeding stuffs, is solicited in
the effort to carry out the provisions Of
this new law.

Bowel Complaint In Children.

When six months old the little daugh-
ter of E. N. Dewey, a we'll known merch-
ant of Agnewville, Va, had an attack of
cholera infantum. Chamberlain's Cholic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
given and effected a complete cure. This
remedy has proven very successful in
cases of bowel complaint in children aud
when given according to the plain printed
directions can be relied upon with perfect
confidence. When reduced with water
and sweetened it is pleasant to take,
which is of great importance when a
medicine must be given to young chill
dren. For sale by Dunn & Fulton.

TWELVE years ago." said Senator
Perkins in the debate on the tariff bill the
other day, "layer rsisins we're worth
from 10 to 10 cents a pound. We succeed
ed in getting a duty of 6 cents a pound
placed upon them under what is known
as the "Dingley law" We were then
producing no r%aisins, comparatively
speaking, in the United States. Today
raisins are selling for 8 and 81 cents a
pound in California, and we are produce
ing enough layer rsisins of the best quail
ity to supply every person in the United
States with them"

Again fine weather has come to delight
the heart of the farmer and everybody
seems to be busy, but it seems that even
in a busy time there is once in a while
one that takes time to mind other peoples
business. But never mind, vengeance
is mine, 1 will repay" saith the Lord.
Potatoes in this vicinity seem to look
good and the bugs are plentiful. Corn is
very short for this time of year, but
should the season hold off for a long fall
we may have a few nubbins. The hay is
very poor and unless some of the mead
ows pick up wonderfully people in some
parts will almost have to set stakes to see
where they have moved when they get
to baying. The grabbing farmers will
have to grab.
The F. M. quarterly meeting was held
in this place last Sabbath. Rev. Fox of
Titusville oficisted in Elder Miller's
appointed at not seeing the elder they
got wonderful help. Saturday evening
Rev. Fox preached from a peculiar text
found in Judges 1922, "Howbeit the hair
of his head began to grow again after he
was shsven," referring to Samson, the
strong man, who had long hair. He told
the people that Samson's strength did not
lie in his hair, but because he obeyed God
he had great strength and slew many
Philistines. Samson fell in love with
Delilah and revealed the secret to her,
contrary to Gods will, and as a result she
put him to sleep and he lost his hair and
his power, his eyes were put out and he
was made to grind for the Philistines at
the mill. But Samson repented, his hair
began to grow, they forgot to shave him
and his strength began to come. The lad
led him to tine pillars of the great house
of sport and festivities and he bowed
himself, tore down the pillars and killed
more at his death than he had done in all
his life, showing when people obeyed
God they had great strength, but when
they disobeyed they are shorn of their
power. No doubt many people promised
to obey God before the service was over.
Sunday morning found a full house
Prayers were made and good singing,
then bread breaking and hand shaking
commenced and old grudges were for
gotten. God came and filled the camp
with His holy presence and souls praised
the Lord. Pilgrims having a hard time
were helped, strengthened and encour-
aged and then they had another grand
sermon. But lest l weary / will hurry.
A collection was taken for the elder and
$l6.lO or some such amount was received
from a happy people. Now comes the
best. God stayed with his Israel and
Sabbath night there was a fine sermon
and one was at the altar for pardon. Two
joined the church in full. So ended a
blessed quarterly meeting. with a collec-
ton for the pastor, Rev. Horner.
