Zahniser, while at work today at the EN-.

amputation necessary.-oil City Blizzard,

at the Wheeler d D%usenbury plant at En-
deavor, Forest county, John Dunkle, a
woodsman, struck himself with a broad
axe, splitting his left foot from the second
toe to the inHtep. He went to Oil City to
receive hospital treatment and the physi-
clan In charge does not believe the man
will lose the use OF the foot, although the
wound Is a serious one.

AT the risk of being ostracised, drawn
and quartered by all the other early
gardeners In this neck o. the woods, we
make bold to announce that our vines are
bearing ripe tomatoes this minute.
Possibly some others have been eating
ripe tomatoes by this time, but they have
not come across with the goods, so theirs
don't count. will u friend Bill Smith

The State Health Department is pre-.
pairing for the annual medical inspection
of the fourth class school districts some
LOO In number, which will take place as
soon as the schools open in September.
To have the inspection properly per-
formed 1t will require the appointment of
900 medical inspectors in the various dis
%tricts, and these will be appointed in the
next month, the work of selection re-
curing a great deal Of time and consider
alton on the part of Commissioned Dixon.
For some years past the State has re-
fused to appropriate money for the pay
ment of scalp bounties on noxious ami
mails, in consequence of which the coun-
ties throughout tie State have been com
PEELED to refuse payment of these claims.
A test case recently brought in Bradford
county resulted in a victory for the
plaintiff after having been carried to the
Supreme court, and the result will be
that the counties will probably have to
pay the bounties on scalps of animals
named in The law.
Congressman Rulings has been ad-
vised that a vacancy at the United States
Naval Academy for a Mid .shipmsn from
the 2Sth Congressional District of Penn
sylvanis will occur In June, 1914. A
competitive examination will be he'd,
open to any young man in the district,
between the ages of l6 and 20 years. This
examination will be held at Oil City in
the course of the next sixty days, so that
the principal and alternates may have
ample time to prepare for the examina-
ton to be given in April next.
The farmers are having a little bit the
finest weather Imaginable for the harvest
ing of their crops, and they are losing no
time in taking advantage of the nice con-
ditions. The hay crop is turning out far
beller than was hoped for a month ago
and will be at least a good average gener-
fR1ly and better in spots. The wheat and
rye crops are considerably above the
average for this section and are being
harvested in fine shape. And if nothing
iuterferes between now and harvesting
time the oat crop will be a bumper and
no mistake. A finer prospect for this
cereal never laid out of doors.
Among the new laws enacted recent
ly is one increasing the compensation of
ljury eemmfssio1ers. Those elected here.
AFTER will receive 81 a day hereafter, in
stead OF 81 so. Their mileage remains
the same-four cents a mile each way
from their homes to the county seat. An
other law provides for the increase of the
pay of election officers from 50 so to IS a
day. The compensation of return judges
remains the ssme-l so a day and ten
cents a mile for general elections and 81 a
day and six cents a mile for township
and local elections. Still another law in.
c~reases the compensation of assessors
from $3.50 to So so a day.
-Orlo G. Stroup. for many years Q
faithful employe and gauger for the Will
burine Oil Co., and who lately moved
from Tionesta to Enterprise, met with a
painful accident last Friday near his
home. He had climed a ladder to the top
cf au oil tank In the regular discharge
of his duties when the ladder toppled
over and he was thrown to the ground, a
distance of 6 feet or more. In the fall he
struck on his left side, breaking both
bones of the left forearm, but seeming
otherwise to be unhurt. AS evidence
that he is getting along well 1t may be
stated that he was able Monday to attend
to his usual work, where the use OF but
one arm was necessary.
While 'L:ge" Beatty, of Oil City, was
patting the head of a pet sow on the Mar
latt farm, near Seneca, Tuesday, the un-
grateful beast turned upon him and bit
him on the inner side of his left arm, the
tusks tearing the flesh and skin and
scraping the bone. Home remedies were
