Many inquiries have been made re-
gsrding the matter of transportation of
honorably discharged soldiers to and
from Gettysburg next year, the 50th ami
versarv OF the great battle which marked
the turning point of the rebellion, 1t has
been published in number of exchanges
that the state had made arrangements to
transport all veterans free of all charges
to them. This statement, however, is
somewhat premature as no appropriation
for this purpose has been made, but II is
altogether likely that such provision will
be made by the legislature which meets
in January next.

ports was decided success, scores of old
time residents returning TO meet former
friends and acquaintance. The big event
of the week was "Buckwheat Day." when

day no less than six automobile loads and
several other conveyances from Tionesta
drove up 10 see the sights aud have good
time. A street carnival was in progress
during the week and many forms of
amusement were pi oyided for the visitors,
among which was daily balloon ascen-

were hidden to help themselves to the
jollities of the occasion. and the hospital

People who retired Sunday night in
this community at reasonable hour saw
as pretty night as ever the moon shown
on, aud little dreamed that ey would be
awakened in the early morning hours by
an electrical storm such as is seldom
witnessed even in this latitude. Shortly
after three o'clock the gathering storm
dawn the heavens seemed to be in a con-
tinuous blare of electrical flashes, so that
not alone the timid but the braver ones
as well, experienced feeling OF uneasi-
ness bordering on absolute fright. The
down pour of rain was heavy, in the
meantime, but the deluge came later and
between eight aud nine o'clock the pre-
cipitation amounted almost to cloud
burst. In many sections of the town the
surface sewers were insufficient to take
care of the downpour, and number of
lawns and cellars were flooded. No great
damage was done, however, and by noon
all was tranquility in the valley.
From the Los Angeles, California,
Daily outlook of a recent date, the follow
iug item OF local interest is takel: TX.
G. Heath, the Second and Oregon st. real
estate dealer sold the Grigsby lot in block
1913, Ocean avenue to-day for $40, 900. Less
than year ago MIR. Heath sold the same
property to a Mr.. Weber of Los Angeles
for 81 500 and the sale today to a Miss
Wilson now living on the south side, is an
advance of fifty dollars front foot. 1t is
considered cheap at that. 1t was learned
from outside sources that the property
was bought for investment and that a
garage, a big aud modern one would be
built. The lot is right in the heart of the
notorious eye-sore and if Miss Wilson
builds she will be doing great thing for
this city. Mr.. Heath, during his short
business career here has sold about $780,
