The Baltimore & Ohio railroad who

ties and widening the road bed haye COM
pleted this part Of the work, and will
commence Sunday to put In the new rails
which will make 1t a standard road.
This will not consume much time, and it
is expected that by the last of August this
company will be running trains into
Kane that will give us the service that
any railroad could. When the new
schedule comes out it is expected that
two passenger trains day will leave and
arrive here over this road.-Kane Repub-
lican.
The fact that the legislature appro-
priated 800, 900 to pay bounties on noxious
animals does not necessarily mean that
the counties of the state will resume the
payment of bounties. The appropriation
is deficiency appropriation and can only
be used to pay the claims filed about two
years ago, prior to the notice given by the
state that the funds were exhausted. This
appropriation simply refunds to counties
the money they have been deprived OF for
two years. but does not cover claims
which were not actually paid by the
counties. 1t is believed that If counties
had kept on paying bounty claims they
would have been Reimbursed by the
state.
The North East Breeze points out
that in view of the alarming number of
accidents caused by carelessness in driv-
| In. ha 10
we'll view with alarm the formation of a
company which proposes for money
consideration to insure automobile
owners against risk of paying damages
The man who is disposed to be careless
and knows that having paid his insur-
apce assessment, he will not have to pay
any more If he Injuries somebody than If
he does not, will be more reckless than
ever. AS the insurance company cannot
serve terms in Jail that may be imposed
on careless drivers, 1t may be necessary
to control reck lessness upon the roads
entirely by criminal action and imprison-
ment.
Forest Grange, No. 1853, p. of H., of
German Hill, about the first of the month
finished building a new hall to replace
the one burned October 4, 1910, on Cropp
Hill. The new building is located just
across the road from the Kiser school
house at Tubbs run, this making 1t more
convenient of access for majority of
the members. 1t is two-story, 24x40 feet
in size, and substantially built and fin
ished. The upper floor will be used as
the lodge room, while the lower floor will
be used for entertainments. The grange
is gaining in numbers and the members
are looking forward to years of pros
perity and enjoyment in their work. A
picnic and dancing party was held at the
hall on the fourth, when a goodly sum
was realized for furnishing the hall. The
building complete will cost 81, 900.
e. f. Norton, the we'll known local
lum herman, with a man from Warren
has just purchased fine piece of timber
land located between Corning and El-
mira, N, Y, at a point known as Big
Flats. The land consists of l20 acres and
according to a careful estimate there are
million feet of white pine, 100000 feet
yellow pine, 10000 feet each of hemlock
and hardwood and 10000 railroad ties.
The white pine, Mr.. Norton says, is the
finest he knows of in this part OF the
country. A sawmill will be erected Sept.
and the timber cut and marketed. Mr..
Norton has cut timber from many Sec
tious in northwestern Pennsylvania and
not long ago cut and marketed a large
lot of virgin white oak taken from the
Breed property just south of town. This
was the most valuable piece of timbe
within several hundred miles of this city,
and 1t was mostly shipped to jamestown
where 1t was cut into yeneeripg, the use
of solid oak being rather>too expensive
for ordinary purposes. The gentlemen
will no doubt resp rich harvest from
their aquisition and they will be envied
by other lumbermen.-Titusvi Courier,
June 80.
The excitement occasioned by the
confession" OF Mrs. Stella Hodge to the
effect that she accidentally killed Emile
Amann of Warren, on the night of
January 27 last, appears to have about all
subsidized. From the first the woman's
story was seriously doubted, and today
II would be hard to find a person who
places any credence in her narrative.
Whether the story will be used by the de-
fence in their argument for a new trial
for Andrews is problematical. Today
completes the Goth in which they can
present reasons why new trial should
be granted and it is likely that every
scrap bearing on the case, that is of any
advantage to the defense, will be utilized
by the attorneys for the convicted man.
Should the court refuse a new trial the
case will be appealed to the Supreme
court aud the case will doubtless go over
for months. Should retrial be finally
granted the defense will in all probability
ask for change of venue, alleging that the
defendant cannot secure an impartial
trial in Warren county by reason of the
prejudice against him. The confession OF
the Hodge woman has made little if any
change in the sentiment of the minds of
the people as to the guilt or innocence of
Andrews.
State Highway Commissioners E. M.
Bigelow will visit this section of the state
this summer and inspect the proposed
roads which are to become ultimately
part of the state highway system. Mr..
Bigelow travels in his 90-horsepower
automobile, and in this way is able to
cover a larger territory than would be
