The ladies of the Presbyterian church
of Clarion scored big success in their
Woman's Edition of the Jdcksonian last
week, and will have about thousand
dollars to devote TO the fund of the new
church just completed in that place. The
paper contains is large, well filed, pages
of miscellaneous matter, is beautifully
illustrated throughout, and received a
most liberal advertising patronage. The
workmanship was decided credit to the
office from which it emanated and the
lady managers in charge.
The biggest mortgage ever recorded
in Jefferson county, was put on record

Among the Forest County Gold Hunter.

VIM. Lawrence who recently started on
a visit to the gold hunters from Forest
county, now located near Ward, Colo
RADIO, writes letter home to a friend
from which we Gull the following:
arrived at Ward on Sunday evening.
Found Dick Davis stopping at Boulder.
10 miles from Ward. Sunday was a fine
day and so Dick came up with me.
Found Sam. Clark in the "shaft house;'
also Mr.. Huliugs. No Sunday in this
country. It's gold the boys are after.
After a short visit here, Dick and l
started for Davey Hiland's gold mine,
one and a half miles from Hulings'.
Dick stood the trip well. We took Davey
by surprise, and found him the only one
in all the country round that was max
ing any show at keeping the Sabbath.
He was reading-a dime novel his only
companion a faithful dog. OF course the
boys were all glad to see me.
1 spent Saturday in Denver. The
weather was fine, showing the grandeur
of the city to good advantage. 1 will not
undertake description of this country
now; suffice it to say, it appears to me
like one hill piled on top of another. We
intended going to the highest peak to-day,
but it showed hard all day Monday, and
this, Wednesday, morning, it is not safe
to stick ones nose out of doors, and the
boys tell me this is just gentle breeze.
Davey struck fine pay streak of gold
and silver, the latter predominating a
little. A sample tested showed that it
runs Sll.S2 to the ton. 1 helped him put
in blast Tusday and it is showing up
better. He has a fine house, warm and
roomy, with plenty to eat. For break
fast we he'd sausage, eggs, buckwheat
cakes, honey, myple syrup, rye bread,
potatoes, etc. We intend visiting some
of the big gold mines in this region in a
few days. There is plenty of govern
ment land to take up right in sight of
Davey's gold bank, but it costs to live in
this country, and you must comply
strictly with the U. S. laws in order to
hold your claims. 1 may stake off two
or three before leaving. Sam has a good
thing here as general superintendent of
the Hulings mines. Miners get $500 per
day, 10 men in shaft. They burn seven
cords of wood a day at cost of $500
cord. So you see it is quite expensive
to run shaft mine. Davey's is tunnel
mine and is not so expensive. This
country is covered with pine AS far as
you can see. 1t grows tall and resembles
our yellow pine, and makes fine lumber.
4
am told we are 1900 feet above ocean
level. Have figured up the distance
from Tionesta to Davey's shanty and find
it just l,77l miles. w. L.

In MemOriam.

Ermina Elmoda, wife of Irvine II. AL
lison, was born Aug. 10, 1868, died Feb.
4, 1896. Sad as death is at any time it
seems doubly so in this the passing away
of one yet in the bloom of young wo-
manhood. A happy wife, the mother of
a dear little boy, the mistress of a pleas
ant home, with bright prospects for the
future, she was suddenly called away to
a brighton life above. A consistent
christian and an active member of the
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society,
we feel that our sister was ready to de-
part, and as we ponder on the mysteries
of life and death we think:
sob, to be ready when death shall come,
Oh, to be ready to hasten home.
No earthward clinging,
No lingering gaze,
No step at parting,
No sore amaze.
No cloud like a phantom to fling gloom,
'TwiXt heavens bright portals and
earth's dark tomb,
But sweetly, gently to pass away,
From the worlds dim twilight into
day."
The subject of our sketch was married
to Irvine II. Allison in June, 1892,
and their brief married life has heen
spent at Nebraska, this county. Mrs.
Allison by her gentle and pleasant ma
ture was loved by all who knew her in
timately. She was a model housekeeper
and delighted in making her home at
tractive to her husband and friends.
Besides husband and child she leaves a
mother, brother and three sisters to keep
her in loving remembrance. May they
realize that as the ties of earth are sew
cred the circle Of our friends in heaven
grows larger until that time when:
"We shall strike glad hands of glory,
By and bye; by and bye"

Pursuant TO the recent act of the leg
islature empowering the State Supt. of
Public instruction to appoint a commit
tee of three teachers in each county as a
permanent certificate committee, DR..
Schaeffer named Prof S. NJ. Whitmer
of West Hickory, and Misses Ida Paup
and Martha II. Morrow of Tionesta, for
Forest county. This committee will
meet April Sd and 4th, next, to examine
applicants for permanent certificates.
Those interested should keep in mind the
dates.
Ion Carrolrs Players opened week s
engagement here on Monday night.
Miss Clair Tuttle, the star, is lady of
rare skill and ability, and as she appear
cd in "Only Woman's Heart" on Mon
day night, fairly took the audience by
storm. The company includes some
well known people, the notables being
Mr.. Louie Warren, Miss Madeline Good
win, Mr.. Ion Carroll, Mr.. Bert Ritter,
and the old veteran, Mr.. Lew Gleason,
who for years was one of Frohman s city
stars. They are good. Turn out and see
them. 1t.
The only real danger that now seems
to exist regarding the proposed appro-
priation for the improvement of the AL
legheny river throughout Allegheny
Valley is that the amount asked for in
the bill may swell the aggregate river
and harbor appropriations to such an ex-
tent as to give the President cause for
vetoing it. Senator Quay has assured
the Pennsylvania delegation that he will
do all that he can to secure the passage OF
the measure. Should this appropriation
be granted it would mean much for ev-
cry town along the river nom Olean TO
Pittsburg.
L. Burr Pearsall, resident OF Hoop
ers Valley, N. Y. died Sunday, Feb.2 1896,
being 81 years of age. Mr.. Pearsall
owned large tracts of land in jerks town
ship, this county, and carried on opera
tions on the tracts for several years. He
was well and fayorably known to many
of our readers, particularly in the neigh
borhood of Marienville. He was high
toned, educated gentleman, was born at
Hoopers Valley, where he died; was ed
ucated at Dartmuth college. After grad
uating he spent the remainder of his life
in business, principally numbering. He
leaves a wife and three sons to mourn his
| demise.

W. G. II. U. ParlOr Meeting.

The Rialto w. G. r. U. held a Parlor
Meeting on Saturday evening, Feb. 1st,
at the home of Mr.. N. p. Wheeler, East
Hickory, Pa. Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, about fifty la
dies and gentlemen were in attendance,
and a very pleasant evening was spent
by all. The following program was rem
dered:
Instrumental music. Hymn, "Victory
Through Grace" Prayer by Rev. J. e.
Hil!ard.
Original poem, "a Cup Of Cold Water"
by Mrs. N. p. Wheeler.
Hymn, "Throw Out the Life Line"
Essay, "Woman's Work." read by
Mrs. Eugene German.
Selection, read by Mrs. George Crider.
Quartette, by Mesdames German and
Wheeler, and Messrs. Lynch and War
den.
Reading, "Dreams," by Miss Wood
ford
Collection poem, by Charlie Crder.
Hymn, "Blest be the Tie that Binds"
Where each number was so well rem
dered it is needless to specialize, but the
crowning effort was the cunning poem
recited by little Charlie, and the liberal
response to his appeal for something to
put i'm his white-ribboned basket, showed
the appreciation of the audience. After
short time spent in a social manner
the company was served with refresh
ments. Mr.. and Mrs. Whaley had also
thrown open their house for the accom-
mediation of the guests, so there was no
lack of room, and altogether the ladies
of the East Side are to be congratulated
upon the success of this their first Parlor
Meeting. X.

SAN FRANCISCO GOLD SUPPLY.
Has Been Reduced by Persons Who
Desire to Hoard the Yellow Metal.

Washington, Aug. 13--The treasury
department has received no informa-
tion about the alleged refusal of as
sistant treasurer at San Francisco to
exchange gold for silver certificates
This is practice that he has followed
FOR years and is peculiar alone to the
san Francisco sub-treasury. ON the
Pacific coast nearly all the money in
circulation is gold and silver coin. But
little paper money is used For the
convenience of bankers and others
who desired to make shipments of
money to the east, a practice had
grown up at San Francisco of ev-
changing silver certificates for gold.
1t cost less to ship $1,000 in paper To
New York than $1,000 in coin In this
way the officials of the sub treasury
gradually made all forms of money
interchangeable over its counter. AS
result, the sub-treasury gained from
S2OUO,OOO to $3O00,000 in gold annually
for the past few years. while all other
sub-treasuries in the east were losing
gold.
Recently its stock of gold has been
reduced. evidently for boarding pur-
poses, as san Francisco is one of Two
points only whore greenbaCkS are re-
dcemablc-New York being the other
and for that reason it Is presumed
that the practice has been continued
of making all moneys INTERCHANGEABLE.
As it was simply a practice and not
treasury regulation treasury officials
say there was no need of their being
informed of it. If it is presumed they
will be equally in ignorance OF the
fact

There still remains fifteen players

JOHNSON NOTIFIED,
He Accepts the Nomination to Nice-
Presidency on Prohibition Ticket,

Chicago, Aug. l3.-Hale Johnson OF
Newton Ill.,, was formally notified in
the association building auditorium
tonight of his nomination by the Pro-
hibitionist convention at Pittsburg for
the office of vice-president of the
United States. There was a small au-
dience, but 1t was not wanting in en-
thusasm.
In accepting the nomination Mr..
Johnson scathingly arraigned the old
parties on the charge of responsibility
for continuance of the liquor traffic,
its growth and its power in politics
and for decetving the people by prom
ising good times with each new ma
tioral administration and not fulfill
ing such promise.
