John Wenner of VanCamp, died
September I9, 1896, aged 79 years,
II months and II days. Mr.. Wenner
was born in Butler township Luzerne
county Oct. 2, 1876. His father
moved into Fishingcreek township
when John was but one year old and
hence he may be classed as one OF
the pioneers of Fishingcreek Germany.
He never had the advantages of an
education, yet he was man of extra
ordinary judgment. He never held
other than township offices, and the
principal of these was supervisor. He
was a man of temperate habits and
sterling integrity. He was highly in
huential in the community as every
body had implicit confidence in him.
Of his fathers household only one
brother survives. OF his own house
hold three sons and five daughters
survive. He was a successful farmer,
and by industry and frugality was
able to own several farms. In the
death of Jonn Wenner the community
lost highly respected and exemplary
man.

Presbyterian Notes.
Brief Review OF Work Done Durinu q. O
Last Seven Years.

This was the subject of the dis
course last Sunday in the Presbyterian
church. The pastorate of Rev. Isaac
M. Patterson began Feb Ist, 1880.
In every line progress was noted and
the present condition of the church
compared with what 1t was at the be-
ginning Of his services. Everywhere
growth was indicated so that to day
the congregation occupies very
different position in the community.
The old church, not more than half
filled, has given place to the present
beautiful and convenient edifce, hold.
ing twice as many, and always. com.
fortably filled. The membership has
grown from IT'S to 315. The num-
Der of additions, during the same
time has been a4S, of whom TAG we're
received on a profession of faith, and
1oa by dismission from other churches.
Thirty-one were added since the be.
ginning of the present year, 20 on
profession and IL by certificate.
The Sunday school has grown from
$50 to gas. The Young Peoples
prayer meeting, with an attendance of
about a dozen has given place to a
Y. p. S. c. f. with 10 members, and
a Junior c. f. of equal size. The
Mld-week services on Wednesday
evenings often numbers one hundred.
During the seven years OF Rev.
Patterson's pastorate more than $40,
soo have been actually raised andIpaid
over for church support, and the
building Of the new church, on which
small debt still remains. Even during
the last year, Notwithstanding the
depression of the times $4,000 has
been raised for these objects, and
$1,000 for outside benevolences. In
every department of church work was
shown great advance over any pre-
vious period of its fifty years history.

Fences Should 10.

Fences have their uses and in GER
tain localities and conditions are well
nigh indispensable. For instance, on
the farm they are necessary to keep
horses, COWS, pigs and other stock
from entering the fields which the
husbandman has planted with grain
and vegetables, or to exclude them
from prematurely enjoying the harvest
of grass in meadow and upland which
is destined for their Winter sustenance.
But in the town no such conditions
prevail, and in the interest of beauty
they should be relegated to the
domain to which they belong
There is no use of reason for a
fence in the streets OF town. In
days of yore, when COWS and pigs
wandered at will through the highways
and byways, they were necessary only
because the ordinances respecting
cattle in the town were not enforced.
But times have changed, and people
no longer tolerate the man who per-
mits his domestic animal to gain a
livelihood at the expense of his
neighbors' lawn and gardens.
A foolish custom it is, that ofmain-
tanning i'll looking fences in front of
residences. Remove them and note
what difference. The street has a
much broader appearance, the houses
appear to have more room, and, what
is worth considering, an item is taken
from the expenses of the householders.
Laws are not necessary to do away
with the fence. Once the movement
is started they will quickly disappear.
The penalties provided in the town
ordinance for stray animals is amply
sufficient to protect lawn and shrub
berry from their depreciation.

mustered out as captain and brevet major.
He then studied law and was admitted to
the bar. From 1869 to 1871 he was prose-
cutting attorney for Starke county. About
the latter year he began to take a heading
part in local politics, and was elected a
member of the Forty-fifth congress, and
subsequently to each succeeding congress
until 1890, when he was defeated for a seat
in the Flfty-frst congress. In the. House
he made but few speeches, but became
recognized as a leader of the protective
tariff doctrine. He was a candidate for
the speakership of the F!ftieth congress,
against Thomas B. Reed of Maine. Mr.
Reed won, and in accordance with prece-
dent, ne appointed Maj. Mckinley chair
man of the ways and means committee,
which appointment carries with 1t the
leadership of the dominant party on the
floor. 1t was in this congress that the
Mckinley tariff law was passed, through
the enforcement of the most arbitrary
and unprecedented rulings by the speaker
of the House. The passage of the bill had
the result of bringing about democratic
tidal wave in 1880, and Mckinley himself
was one of those who went down before
it, In 1891 he was nominated for governor
of Ohio and was elected. Two years later
he was again elected to the goVernorship
the full term of which he served.

cording TO the testimony, by sheer force
of executive ability. He became a COM
missary sergeant and then a second lieu

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS TALK
TOGETHER.

In his able work entitled Longevity"
published few years ago. DR.. John Gard
ner of England predicts that a vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much be-
yond its present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to in
quire of them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants, in which these sincere
supplemented and God-fearing peoDle
are known to be wise and sknlful beyond
all other men,
The Shakers willingly told what thew
had learned and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease, which they at once made
practical use of. The most important
point was that if genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion
and dyspepsia, and the ailments growing
out Of it, a long step would be taken in
the right direction. Old age, said these
physicians, begins in failure of the diges-
ton, and so do most diseases at any and
all periods OF life The result of these
consultations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific. made
wholly from herbs, and now known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is
magical and worthy of its origin
Where there is distress after eating
heartburn, sick headache bad taste in he
mouth. biliousness, weakness and weeri-
ness, cold hands and feet, aversion 70
food, nervousness or any other sympton
of dyspepsia the Cordial will prove ifs
curative virtues. Behind It is the reputa-
ton OF a people who have never defrauded
or deceived their fellow men.
In order to test whether this remedy Is
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost you may procure a TRIAL bottle for
ten cents of almost any druggist
