Judge Pomeroy Dead.

This week we are called upon to
chronicle the death of one of the best
known men in this county, Mr.. F.B.
Pomeroy, of Dush0re. His death
occurred ON Thursday last and the
news was received with expressions
of deep regret.
Mr.. Pomeroy was an old time res
ident of Dushore and one of the
most highly respected citizens. He
had been suffering for some time
with Brights disease, but bore his
sufierings with heroic courage.
Fayette b. Pomaroy was born at
Troy, Pa, April n, 1876. After re-
ceiving his education Ire was employ
ed as travelling salesman by II. j..
Grant of Ithaca, y. V, and continu-
ed with that firm until 1870, when
he moved to Dushore and engaged
i'm the drug business which he con-
tinued to the time of his death. He
was married to Miss Elizabeth Ellis
of his native place, September /, '66.
Three children We're born to them,
Mrs. w. w. Appleman of Wilkes
Barre, Mrs. w. w. Waddell, of Du-
shore, and Emily Pomeroy. Mr..
Pomeroy was elected Associate Judge
with President Judge Hon. Thos. j.
Ingham i'm November 1876, on the
Republican ticket, and ut Il time
when the county was overwhelming
~ Democratic. From that he ac-
quired the title of "Judge" which
still cings to his name.
Upon the organization of the First
National Bank of Dushore he was
elected one of the directors and by
that body its vice-president and held
that Office two years, and subsequent
ly elected president and has since
held that Office.
Deceased is survived by his wife,
three brothers and two sisters, Aug
ustus A., Charles b., Chauncey,
Mary \. and Mrs. +. II. Huff of
Troy, Pa.
The funeral was held from the
late residence on Monday afternoon.
All the business places were closed
during the services.

Political Pointers.

Now that people have found in the
cool weather gratifying relief from
the prostrating effects of the heat and
humidity that have steadily prevail
eel throughout the summer, their at
tention will he about evenly divided
between the fag ends of war news
and the unraveling of political
mysteries. The tug of war within
the political lines is yielding gradu-
ally to activities of demonstrative
character over the strong undercur-
rent of feeling that prevail. The
matter of State issues are left for
Others to wrestle with, the local
ticket is of more Importance: 1t
strikes nearer home.
The candidates whose names are
being most discussed, are as follows /:
ii. w. Osler, candidate for Sheriff,
who has shown sturdy and un-
sweving devotion to principles of
high rank and the advancement of
interests conducive to better citizen
ship and pure government in local
affairs, and by such fidelity has won
an enviable record and set IL bright
example to the weak and tempOriZ-
ing; it therefore behooves us all ire
spective of party, on this occasion as
we enter upon another campaign to
once more step to the front and place
the stamp of our approval upon such
Il candidate as we know worthy of
our united support.

Republican news item. [volume] (Laport, Pa.) 1896-19??, 1898-09-22

OF equal strength on the ticket is
w. III. Woodin. AS candidate for
Congress he is most formidable
opponent, and is causing loss of much
sleep to his adversaries. Mr.. Wood
in's record is an enviable one. He
entered his fathers car shop in the
capacity of an ordinary workman
cleaning castings, after leaving col
lege where his record was one OF
brilliance. He worked his way up
from the bottom, learning the details
of the business by practical expert
ence, and his close application to
business soon caused his advance
ment until he reached the head of
the establishment which he entered
i'm its humblest capacity. He is Il
prominent light i'm political affairs,
and the idol of the 1900 men over
which he reigns with generosity.
And, figuring high, as he does, in
church societies, organizations of
various kinds, his social life in Ber-
wick figures with great prominence.
1t will, therefore, be seen that Mr..
WOOdin carries with him not alone
political following of unusual sig
nificance, but his popularity extends
into every walk of social or public
life, making him dangerous candi-
date for his adversaries.
I I
AS Il public officer some men are
worth more than others and some
are worthless.

There is a healthy sentiment that
seems to be growing in volume as
election day advances. 1t is that of
the intelligent citizens awakening to
| the needs of an honest, business-like
and capable man to represent pro-
gressive people at Harrisburg, and
heartily endorse the election for Office
of Assembly our esteemed and popu-
lar fellow citizen DR.. j. l.. Christian
a man of marked ability with truth
and fidelity linked with his unstain-

take prominent and outspoken
stand in the campaign, claiming no
allegiance to factions nor to party
dictators whatsoever, and man
whom all citizens favoring honest
government can conscientiously lay
their support upon with confidence

fore natural that he meets with the
stamp of approval from every fair
minded man throughout the entire

the case of the Hawaiian Islands we get them by compact made with their lawful Government.
 Some of our good friends have said thoughtlessly in their zeal that where the American flag goes it must stay. But surely they cannot wish to commit the country to that doctrine. We planted 1t in the city of Mexico, but no man de- manded that 1t should stay there. If the war goes on we shall plant 1t on the coast of Spain, but we have no desire to hold permanent dominion there.
 If the Philippine Islands become ours, ITS preme Court every child hereafter born In them becomes an American citizen, free to come and free to go. Are you going to hold them as subjects?

COMPENSATION NOT ASKED

Notwithstanding tho Backdown as to the Nile Valley, Great Britain Continues to Push Naval
 War Preparations.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Paris corre spondent of the Daily Mail says: France will retire from Fashoda un- conditionally and without asking com pensation.
 Baron de Courcel, whose term as French Ambassador in London expired long ago. but who has held on to con- duct negotiations affecting Egypt, will not be recalled and no haste will be shown to appoint his successor with view of showing French resentment at British action, for England has almost taken the place of Germany as the ob- iect of French hatred.
 The Paris correspondent of the Times says: Baron de Courcel gathered from a conversation had after the last Brit ish Cabinet council that Lord Sails bury's attitude had undergone change, the British Premier insisting that 1t was impossible to disregard public opinion in England and that nothing. could be done until Fashoda was evacuated. So far as French pub lie opinion is concerned there is not the slightest idea of going to war for Fa- shoda and any government doing so would be regarded as a government of imbeciles.
 The Daily Graphic says this morn ing: We learn from an official source in Paris that Captain Baratier bears instructions to Major Marchand to re- turn to Fashoda and then to withdraw his expedition in the direction of the Upper Ubanghi River, north of the Congo, evacuating Fashoda and the five posts established by him east of the frontier indicated in the Anglo German agreement.
 "The Egyptian Government will be invited to send troops to accompany Major Marchand as he retires from the Bahr- eI- Ghazal territory and to re- occupy the posts as they are evacu ated by the French officers, thus solv ing the difficulty concerning Major Marchand's revictualment.
 When Major Marchand's retirement is fully accomplished, negotiations based on proposals submitted by Baron de Courcel to Great Britain will be opened France is disposed to recog nize frankly that the reconquest of Omdurman completely changes the sit- uation as it existed when Major March and was instructed to proceed to the Nile. The French Government will even state that, had Major Marchand been aware of the Khedival advance, he would not have pushed his mission so far east.
 These intentions have not yet been officially imparted to Great Britain. but they probably will be before Major Marchand's evacuation commences"

which 1t says 1t does not object to the papers announcing military and naval preparations in general terms. but points out that 1t would be "unpatriotic to publish specific details that might be useful to a possible foe"
 There Is no noticeable cessation in England's preparations, and the off, cials are confident of the country's s ability to meet all emergencies. There were large shipments of guns, shells and war stores to Malta and Gibraltar yesterday.
 The dispatches from France announce equal activity at Toulon, Brest, Mar seilles and elsewhere.
 The Rome correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says: France Is making preparations at Bizorta, about forty miles northwest of Tunis. Guns and ammunition arrive daily. and men are strengthening the forts, working day and night. The object is said to cut communication between Malta and Egypt in the event of hostilities with Great Britain. (

MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Admiral Dewey has forwarded to the Navy De partment a memorandum on mineral resources of the Philippines. prepared at the admiral's request by Prof. G. +. Becker of. the United States Geological Survey. Professor Becker made con- siderable researches and consulted all the available authorities. Only about a score of the several hundred islands, he says, are known to contain deposits of valuable minerals He 1nciuoes table showing the mineral is- lands and their resources. rms taoie is as follows:
 Luzon-Coal, gold, copper; lead, iron, sulphur, marble, kaolin.
 Cataanduanes. Sibyuan, Bonot ana Panaoan-Gold: only.
 MarfmduQue-Lead and silver. s Mindoro-Coal; gold and copper.
 Carraraybatan, Rapu Rapu, semarara. Negros-Coal only.
 Masbete-Coal and copper.
 Romblon-Marble.
 Samar-Coal and gold.
 Panay-Coal, oil. gas. gold, copper. iron and perhaps mercury.
 Bfliriam-Sulphur only.
 Ieyte-Coal, oil and perhaps mercury. .Cebu-Coal, oil. gas. gold, lead, silver 4'tG 'MtGindanao-Coal. gold, copper and
 sulu Archipelago-Pearls.
 :. Of the coal, Mr.. Becker says that 1t Is analogous to. the Japanese coal and that of Washington. but not to Welsh or Pennsylvania coal. It might better be characterized as highly car bonized Ignite, likely to contain such sulphur as iron pyrites, rendering 1t apt to. spontaneous combustion and in furious to boiler plates. Nevertheless, he says, when pyrites seams are avoid ed and the. Ignite is properly handled, 1t forms valuable fuel, especially for local consumption.
