SOMERSET COUNTY HEIRS
To an Alleged Estate Of s2oo,ooo.oo) in
England.


An organization known a. the "Drake
Relative Association held n meeting at
Sew Castle, Pa. a weak or two ago for
the purpose uf taking steps To secnre an
alleged estate OF S5to.HD01 now in the
custody of the Bank of England. Tho
story goes that Sir Francis Dra:xs disi i'll
1885, and, being without issue, wiiled his
property to two nephews, John and
Francis, in which line the estate was held
until l7lI at which time the heirs of
Francis Drake became extinct aud the
estate reverted To the heirs of John
Drake. An association was at once form
ed i'm England to sccurs thu estate, bat it
was shown that the heirs of John Drake
emigrated to America, and the members
of the association, which met at New
Castle, claim to be the direct descendants
of John.
The association numbers abont 20o
members, many of whom are prominent
citizens in different sections of the coun-
try.
The following communication from n.
7. Tannehill, Esq, OF Lower Turkeyfoot
township, throws some light on the sub
ject of who are the legal heirs and repre-
sentatiyes of the estate in America:
John Drake settled in New Jersey
about the beginning of the 18th century.
His son Oliver was born ON Janu Try p.
l7i5. and Vas married TO Frankly Skinner
on August p, l770. The family records
show that the following children were
born as a result of this marriage: Ann,
on March 4, l71l; Hannah, on May "a,
I77S; David, on August 4, l7I5; Jonathan,
on September l5, l777. Oliver Drake set
tied at Draketown, now Somerset coun-
ty, in the year lT72, and built the first
grist mill in south western Pennsylva-
mia. lie was carpenter and cabinet
maker 10y trade. He continued to reside
at Draketown until the time of his death
the Jersey Baptist Church, of which he
and his wife were members. On the
30th of every May his grave is decorated
by Grand Army comrades in recognition
of his services TO his country in the war
of the revolution and in the war OF 1872.
Jonathan Drake, grandfather of the
writer, took up his fathers occupation
of mil. right and cabinet maker and con-
Quoted the Draketown mill for number
of years. when he sold the property TO
Thomas Ream, Esq. The farm on which
Jonathan Drake resided at the time of his
death is now the property of the writer.
David Drake removed TO near Somerset,
Ohio, early in the eighteenth century.
Aun Drake married a Mr.. Abrams and
settled in Addison township, ON the site
where Petersburg, this county, now
stands. Hannah Drake married John
Mountain, who also resided at Peters
burg"

WHO PAYS THE EXPENSE AND PROFITS

Peddlers are humbugging the farmers
selling steel ranges from wagons over the
county. Aside from the large profit they
have, did it ever occur to you the enor-
nous expense thus incurred all of which
is paid by the purchaser.
Figure il out for yourself: High
priced salesmen, feed for horses, board
for men, wear and tear of wagons, ware
house rent, manager at big salary to han
die your notes and money and send them
To ST. Louis.
Is il less than $4,000 for each range
sold? Can it be less, even if they sell the
number claimed?
Then the profit. The stockholders must
get the interest on their investment, sal
aries of high-priced officials must be
paid, they are not in business for fun,
you must pay for all this as well. Does
it not represent another $500 on each
range to pay for all this? Now, you have
left Just the amount the range costs the
manufacturers, 10 to % dollars, You pay
the rest.
GIN the farmer afford to pay this
enormous profit? At the present price
of farm products is it not about all the
farmer can do to make ends meet? Then
why throw away SS0OG You might as
well, a. that amount simply represents
the difference between what they are
worth and what they sell for.
Do they do business in cities and towns?
No. Why? The innocent and unsus-
pecting farmer is their prey.
Yes, they have printed some testimoni-
ais, bought them by furnishing repairs
free, but they ara false in that they do
not tell the truth in regard to time range
was in use, hence you can look with sus-
picion on tie rest contained therein.
They could well afford to keep them in
repair if they so desired. The interest
on ten dollars will keep any good stove
in repair during lifetime.
But they will tell you they never will
require repairs; they will hammer them
to show they will not break, but apply
no test as to durability against fire. You
are not expected to take sledge hammer
To make your stove work, although you
may feel like it if you buy range from
these peddlers.
The present price Of steel is as cheap as
cast iron, and cheaper than wrought iron
then why should steel range cost SC
much more than a cast one. Cast Iron
stands the fire better than any known
metal.
We sell steel ranges, sell them at a fail
price. We will sell yon larger and bet
ter steel range for $40 90, and the size sold
10y the peddlers for So 90, including tank
and high closet, made by one of the larg
! est and most reliable concerns in th,
world. And further, we will give you {
written guarantee TO furnish all repair
free of charge during period of fiv'
years from date of sale.
Farmers, give your trade to home
men who pay tax to do business, he
| sides taxes on their property. They do
business at a living profit and you know
where to go il all is not satisfactory.
We carry the largest and best lines o
stoves and ranges in the county, ant
guarantee satisfaction in every case.

Haunted

The human tenement j. often haunted
to the grievOus discomfort of its posses
sessor-by those malignant spirits, con
stipation and biliousness. But the abon-
Unable pair may be speedily driven out
with the potent help of Hostetier's
Stomach Bitters. This genial Alternative,
while ii relieves the bowels and regulates
the liver, never as a drastic purgative
does, produces violent effects and weak
ems the intestines. on the contrary, the
action of the Bitters is precisely analo-
gous to an effort OF nature seeking to re-
sumo her proper functions This fur
nishes pretty conclusive evidence that il
is better to Use persuasive means, 50 10
speak, than to ende.tvOr % ooerce nature
to return 10 duty. Violent remedies
produce only a temporary e..cct, follow
cd by a burtful reaction. For i9diges-
tion, malarial and kidney complaints,
rheumatism and nervousness, the Bit
tiers takes highest rank among remedies
of the philosophic school.

An Actual Question.

A man dies, leaving a widow, and wills
his estate one-third to each of three of
his children and cuts off the fourth, a
half-brother, without anything. By the
law half-blood inherits one half as muca
as whole blood. The children's names
are A, B, and ID; being half-bTother.
A dies before his mother an1 his share
OF the fathers estate descends to the wild
ow and his brothers b and c and half
brother ID, the mother taking equally
with whole blood children. The widow
dies and wills her share equally to c and
ID. share and share alike. The estate con
sists Of sSslJ0. How much of this money
will B, e and ID each receive?
The above is AN actual problem in
which as commissioner of accounts was
required TO audit and settle. Perhaps
some of your maihematicians would like
TO try it. j. y. DAVID.
