The load contained 4l0 baskets and were
shipped to this station from the lake shore
grape belt. Our thanks are due Ray for
basket of the delicious fruit.
The Standard Wood Co., which has a
large plant al Kellettville, this county, Is
heavy loser in the Austin disaster, an
immense plant belonging to the company
having been damaged by the fire which
followed the flood, and large amount of
wood carried away by the torrent.
-Chestnuts are so plentiful as to be al
most drug upon the market. The
quality is fine and wormless, and the size
Is regular and above the average. Go out
and pick what you want, but don't try to
climb the trees unless you're an expert.
Many accidents are being reported from
this cause.
--Titusville is TO have prize fight on
the 18th Inst, when Jack Ryan Of Chicago,
and George Henderson, local heavy
weight will try to knock one another out
In 10 rounds. These fights are called
glove contests, but that doesn't make 'em
smell any sweeter, and Titusville is about
the only place in the state where such
affairs are still permitted.
Geo. II. Lowe, owner of one-half of
the Baird lease at Dawson, has taken
over the other half interest, which makes
him one of the incest oil leases in this
vicinity. Mr.. Lowe has given lots of at
tention to this piece of property, putting
Il In the best possible order, and Is reap
ing harvest accordingly. We believe
1t is his intention to develop 1t to the
fullest extent.
Miss Alice Wagner. daughter of
Lewis Wagner of Tionests township, had
her right arm badly lscerated while seal
ing glass fruit jar, Thursday last. The
top of the jar twisted off and the young
lady's arm above the wrist came in con-
tact with the jagged glass cutting a deep
cash several inches long, and which re-
quired several stitches to close. DR.. Bo-
ward gave the needed surgical aid.
An explosion OF one of the high COM
pressor cylinders In the gasoline plant at
Mayburg, Saturday, did small amount
of damage, but injured no one, and the
building was not damaged to any extent,
as was rumored here. The plant is owned
by Richards Il Collins, and is one of the
most complete and up-to.date in the
country. The delay and inconvenience
in max ing repairs will be but slight.
Reports from the potato fields are
gratifying to those who feared, an account
of the generally discouraging reports con-
cerning potatoes this year that the high
prices established during the interval be-
tween the consumption OF the old and the
free arrival of the new crop would be con-
tinued throughout the winter. The crop
will not be a bumper, but sufficient to
make the price about right for both pro-
ducer and consumer, from all indications.
The Republican acknowledges receipt
of an invitation from Gov. Tener and the
Legislative Commission to attend the un-
yelling of the groups of ststusry sculp-
tured by George Grey Barnard for the
capitol of Pennsylvania in Harrisburg.
The unveiling ceremonies take place to-
day and we're sorry we can't be there,
but since the groups nave been so much
discussed, pro and con, some being of the
opinion that they should never be "um-
veiled," perhaps 1t is just as well.
With the Austin horror before them
how much longer will the State water
supply commission hesitate to turn down
the applicants for Tionesta creek and
Clarion river water charters? If fifty
foot dam would cause such a calamity
what would the breaking of a 300-foot
structure, forming lake from one to five
miles in width and forty miles long, re-
suit in2 One shudders to think of it.
Will the authorities at Harrisburg longer
hesitate TO throttle this beinous crime?
We shall hope not.
Just listen to this from Editor Bor-
land of the Franklin News, and he a
married man at that: "Often you hear
people say that woman should stay at
home aud be safe in her proper place.
But many who stay at home belong out
on the street three times as often as they
appear there and ought to go to the stores
oftener and make more visits to relatives
and neighbors. The reward of the stay
st-home is not always quietness and joy.
A Springfield, Mass, woman lost an eye
the other day by the explosion of bottle
of catsup. If she had been at the matinee
where she belonged she would have been
better off,"
The appeal book In the sensational
Andrews murder case which was tried al
Warren, Pa, few weeks ago, will be
printed in Dunkirk. John NJ. Andrews,
convicted murderer of Amsnn, has tax en-
an appeal from his conviction and the ap-
peal is pending. The copy for the ap'
pellants paper in the case has been re-
ceived by the Dunkirk Printing CON-
pany, d. U. Arird, attorney for the con-
demned man, bringing 1t personally. II
consists of l 100 typewriter pages and is
much larger than the Burnett murder
evidence which consisted of S07 pages
and was also printed by this company
Dunkirk Observer.
The Warren Times OF Saturday says
Today there arrived in Warren from
Mayburg, Forest county, two Italians
Tony Fago and John Males. When new'
