!. .ung people of East Hisk


ory have organized literary socidty
for the winter. The organization Will
be completed next Saturday evening
by the election of regular officers. and
a cordial invitation is extended to all
who feel an interest in such matters to

The storm of Monday was one of
almost unprecedented severity and
extended over wide range of terri
tory. From the oil country come re.
ports of the leveliog of many rigs, and
throughout the country districts many
trees, fences, and some buildings we're
blown down. From the headlines in
our Pittsburg exchanges some idea
can be gained of the severity Of the
elements in and about that city:
"From the South Comes an Unusually
Destructive Wind add Rain. Storm

Two colored men were recently
arrested in Harrisburg on suspicion of
being engaged in some burglaries, and
when searched had in their possession
considerable jewelry, among which
was some answering the description Of
that stolen 10 Kittanning on the 9th
of Nov. The necessary papers we're
made out and the two men brought to
Kittanuing on last Friday, where they
now await trial. Among the articles
unidentified in the sheriff S hands, says
the Derrick, is a gold watch and O
small diamond ring, answering the
description of the articles stolen on
the south side, on the night of Novem'
ber 8. The men are supposed to have
been the authors Of the robberies al
Tidioute, Tionesta and other points up
the river, as well as here, and as the
robbery in Kittanuing occurred four
or FIVE days later than those in thi;
vicinity, the theory looks plausible.

Fred. Young, young man Of Pine
township, Crawford county, aged about
eighteen years, has for several years been
troubled with fits, and has been much of
the time under the doctors care. The
doctor finally gave the young man some
worm medicine, and few hours after
taking the medicine, he emitted a dead
snake nearly foot long. The young man
remembers when small boy he drank
from brook and that he felt something
queer going down his throat.
A writer who claims to know what he is
talking about says that salt is the best and
cheapest preservative that can be found
for posts. This he bases OH his own ex.
perience as follows: Thirty-four years ago
we set four oak hitching posts three and q
half feet deep in the earth, having first
bored an inch hole in the same about three
inches above and another of like size
about four inches below the earth's sur
face. The holes were partly filled with
salt, and then stopped with dry oak
plug. The posts remain to-day sound and
strong. Had the salt not been used tho
posts would have deeayed years ago. Salt
certainly has many useful qualities,

AT REST.
ANDREW Cook,
Born, Jan. IA, 1924.
Died Nov I2 1901

At the head of the casllet lay pillow of
roses and choice flowers, in which were
imbedded "At Rest in letters of blue.
The pillow rested against large wreath
of smilaX, roses, chrysanthemums and
coronations placed upon palm leaves. A
sheaf of wheat, on which lay a sickle
made of smilax and flowers as above, rest
ed ON the foot of the casket. This was
fitting emblem of ripened life ready for
the Sickle of Death.
The pail bearers were the four sons, and
four brothers of the deceased. The casket
with the remains was taken to the Cooks
burg cemetery, placed in another air-tight
zinc box, enclosed in water proof wooden
box, and the whole laid in o temporary
vault, there to remain until q permanent
vault can be made for its final resting
place, which will be in the same cemetery
according to the Judges wishes. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the
weather aud the flood in the river, the
number attending the funeral was the
largest ever in the vicinity. Over 100 rigs
and 500 people were present, and had the
weather been favorable the mum Der would
haS been doubled.
Thus ends the life of a loved and useful
citiz IN, one who will be sadly missed, not
only by his family, but by all his numer-
Gus friends. There are few men so widely
known and universally respected and
loved. A self-made- and a success in
life. His place will never be filled. His
business will be continued by the family,
probably with but few changes.

vised him TO spend the winter in the south.
About two months ago he. in company
with Mrs. Cook, Hattie and Wayne, start
ed south intending to spend the winter i'm
Georgia. They stopped few days in Pitts
burg and Washington, and when they
reached Old Point COmfor fortress Mon
roe) the Judge was tired and they stopped
to rest. DIR. Dixon was summoned and
they found that nalarial fever had set in.
The DIR. remained with him giving him
all care that medical skill could afford.
Mrs. Cook, Hattie and Wayne gave him
the best of nursing, but skill and good
nursing could not avail. His time had
come, and from the complication of dis
eases his great constitution gave way and
on the morning of Nov. Is, 1891, he calm
ly and peacefully breathed his last. His
work was done, his life ended, his great
good heart ceased to beat and he was dead.
The body was carefully embalmed, and
placed in a rolled-steel air-tight casket,
after which it was brought TO his home at
Cooksburg, for interment. The funeral
took place on Nov. %. Religious services
were conducted by Rev. Andrews, a Uni
versalist minister from Pittsburg, who ac-
companied the remains from that place.
On Sunday night before the burial n
| large number of the Judges intimate
friends had gathered to pay their last re-
spects to him, The large house was full

learned discourse on the subject of
payer. His discourse was able and argu-
mentative, and was listened to with pro-

harmony with his convictions. He lived
and died in the belief that God required
us all to do right and obey the golden rule,
and that He had prepared a better home
for all who love Him and keep His COM
mandments. A short time before his
death, when asked by his family if he
thought he was going to a better home,
his answer was, "I think am"
1t was his desire that his remains be
placed in vault. In the lid of the caskot

Bridge Co. He also had a large lumber
yard and other business interests i'm Pitts
burg. Also had large interest in timber
lands in Oregon. Besides these interests
he was one of the founders, Stockholders
and directors of the Second National
Bank of Clarion, of which bank he was
President at his death. and had been for
about yearsr in the banking, as well as
in all his other business he showed more
than ordinary skill and management. His
good Judgment, strict integrity, honest
dealings, has not only given him a name
and character worthy of imitation, but
also large amount of this worlds goods
He was modest and unassuming; kind
generous TO the poor, of whom many can
testify to his help in times of need, yet
these acts of charity were scarcely ever
known TO any except the one no helped.
Publicity in such things was always sup.
pressed by him. He has been the em-
ployer of great many men, all of whom
can testify TO his kindness to them. AL
though he required each hand to perform
his work yet he never eXacted more than
the simple performance of duty, and all
who ever worked for him will testify that
his word was as good as his bond.
lie took an active part in the organiza-
tion OF Forest county, and was one of the
first County Commissioners. He has held
many county and township officers; was
elected Associate Judge in 1870 and served
years. All his official acts were gov
erned by sound judgment, equity and
justness. He took great interest i'm all
public questions. In politics he was a
Republican.
The Judge generally had the best of
health. Never had any sickness except
very severe attack of typhoid fever
when 30 years of age, but his strong con-
stitutiou brought him through. From
that time until last February his health
was good. In Feb. he was attacked by la
grippe from which he never recovered. 1t
affected his stomach, and finally caused
eatarrh. His physician, DIR. Joseph n.
Dixon Of Pittsburg, thought a more con-

JOHN SHERMAN may, after all con-
clude that he isn't candidate for re-
election to the Senate. There are two
reasons why he may do this. One is
that the Democrats may elect majori-
ty of.the next Ohio legislature, and the
other is that if the Republicans succeed
in their frantic efforts to carry the leg
islature, it may be controlled by Fora
ker men. Sherman is willy, as his ac-
tion at the convention, after he knew
that the Foraker crowd was on top, full
ly demonstrated. He will not be can
didate unless he knows that he can be
elected; he doesn't care to shoulder the
ignomy of defeat after having bossed
the Ohio Republicans all these years.
