In the death of William n. jackson In
~dianapolis loses one of its best known and
best loved men. Uncle Billy" as he was
endearingly called, was a familiar figure
at the Union Station for more than forty
years. Who has not seen that face full of
love for the whole world, and particularly
for little children, the snow-white hair, the
elastic step and the figure a little less
straight than in earlier years, ever ready to
offer help to any one. He had gone in and
out among the people of Indianapolis for
nearly q half century, and there was not
a man better known TO the travelling public
than Mr.. Jackson.
William n. jackson was born at Elkton.
Nd, June 6, 1909. II is thought that his
parents were strict with him, for he left
home at the age of fourteen and started
out for himself. But little is known of the
time Immediately following this. but it is
known that when he was a young man he
went TO Lancaster, Pa. where he was con-
nected with the Cornwell furnaces. He
was thrown with a wealthy class of people
there n was accustomed to luxurious
living. 1t was there that he acquired the
habit OF smoking, and he has often told
of how he was always with a cigar in his
mouth. He found that the habit was maxi
ing him unnatural. that in place of kind
thoughts and deeds he had bad thoughts
and would say and do things that he had
not done before he began smoking. He
also felt that 1T was not a clean habit, for

that tobacco changed him. When heshad
come to this conclusion he gave up tobacco
and never touched it again. A friend once
asked him If IL was not a hard struggle
for him to give 1t up, and he said he had
a hard fight. but that he knew IL was right
and he fought il out and conquered.

he lived first with Mr.. John Morris, in
whose family he was much loved. He had
also lived with Mr.. Richard Calling. He
did not like n hotel or even a boarding

Death of an Old Citizen.

William Huddleson, one of the older
citizens of this community, died at his
home, in Hickory township, on Sunday
morning last. Mr.. Huddleson had been
ailing for some years but had not been
bed fast at any time, except for few days
about four years ago when he received a
severe shock from fall. He was man
of powerful physique, able to endure al
most any sort of hardship. On the morn
ing Of his death he had eaten a rather
hearty breakfast and seemed to be in his
usual health. After reading for short
time he complained Of not feeling well
and laid down to rest. He began to sink
rapidly and in less than two hours
breathed his last. The deceased was
born June 2, 1928, making his age ~
years. Two sons, Theodore and Lewis
survive him. His wife had preceded him
in death several years. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon, the interment
being in East Hickory cemetery, Rev.
]. II. Rich conducting the services. Mr..
Huddleson was quiet, unassumiDg,
honorable citizen, a kind neighbor, and
a man who bore the respect of all who
knew him. He will be much missed
from the community in which he had
passed the greater portion of his life.

Sudden Death of Dale Partridge.

Friends here were shocked yesterday
morning on receiving telegram an
nouncing the death of Dale Partridge at
the home of his mother, in Pittsburg,
during the previous night, 1t was known
that he had been suffering with an at
tack OF typhoid pneumonia, but his con-
dition was not supposed to be so serious,
His aunt, Mrs. b. M. Devices and his
uncle, ], II, Dale, left OH the noon train
yesterday for Pittsburg. The young man
was just becoming of age and would have
reached his majority had he lived till the
3lst day of August. He was the youngest
of four sons born to the late A. II. and
Mrs. Partridge, and was one of the bright
young men of his class, exemplary in all
his habits, and his future was a promis-
ing one. About four weeks ago he spent
q part of his summer vacation in Tionesta
at the homo of his grandmother, Mrs.
Joseph G. Dale, and at that time his ap-
parenlly perfect health was noted by all
his many friends. The sorrow and re-
gret expressed at his unexpected taking
Off is very general and sincere, for he
was popular with all our people and es-
ptcially so with the younger element of
Tionesta, where he was born and reared
to boyhood.
We are not informed as to the funeral
arrangements, but understand the re-
mains will be inferred in jamestown, N.
Y, by the side of those of his father and
eldest brother Charles.

Charles o. Thomas, who, with George
Gordon, broke Jail at Clarion on the
night of July 18th by blowing out the
window frame of his cell with dyna-
mite, was captured last Friday afternoon
near VOLTS Cornors, in Clarion county.
Harrison Sigworth, the potmaster and
merchant at Johnlowen, (Wolfs Corners)
and Christy Felt OF Tionests township,
had learned that Thomas and another
man had been seen in the woods at GER
tain spot by some berry pickers. Sc
curing a "Wincnester" each the young
men started for their "game," and had
no trouble in locating it. Knowing
Thomas TO be slippery and more or less
dangerous individual they induced
three other men to accompany them
aud assist in the capture. Covering the
men with their guns they demanded
their surrender. Finding themselves at
the mercy of their nervey and determined
captors Thomas and. his partner, who
proved to be Jacob Hanson, of Byrom-
town, gave up and permitted themselves
to be bound and taken to Clarion, where
they were delivered TO the Sheriff from
whom Thomas had escaped four weeks
previously.
The Commissioners of Clarion County
had offered a reward of 5000 tor the cap
tors of Thomas, which will be paid to
Sigworth and Felt.
Hanson is well known in and about
Byromtown where he has made his home
for several years past. Enough evidence
was found in possession of the two men
it is believed, to convict them Of the
recent robbery of the Collins & Watson
store at Golinza, this county, and the
robbery of Michael McLaughlin's house
at Crown, Clarion county on the 18th inst.
A now bicycle that had been stolen from
the depot warehouse at Vowinckel re-
Gently was also fOnnd near the rendes-
vous of Thomas and Hanson at VOLTS
Corners.
The Clarion County Commissioners
promptly paid to Messrs. Felt and Sig
worth the 5000 reward offered for the
capture of Thomas. 1t was a clever job
and these gentlemen deserve much
credit for the efficient manner in which
they landed their game.

Letter TO Cbas. z. Bauknead.
TOneStd, Pa.

Dear Sir: AS a painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally OBJ
ject to Devoe lead and zinc. Let us have
few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil job
will last three years, and they say house
ought to be painted once in three years.
We take them to mean that their work
is good for three years, no more and no
less, or not much more and not much less
DO you want your work to last longer?
What do you say to six years. You'd
have to have twice az much work, you
know, or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor. You
call him in. Is it better for him to get
your child out of bed tomorrow or keep
him sick for month?
You prefer quick doctor. SO does
everyone else in your town, and county,
and State. We are all alike; we all want
our doctors quick, A doctor, that gets
his patients up quick, is the doctor that
gets the patients-gets rich too, if he isn't
run TO death.
It's about the same with painter isn't
it? Suppose you paint Devoe, and your
competitor objects to Devoe; your work
lasts six years and his work three. You
cost your customers halt he costs double.
Who'll get the business and who'll go
to Texas?
Deyoe lasts six years-not exactly-we
know of its lasting seventeen-and it
never wears out in less than three, so far
as we know. On windy sandy seaside
house, it lasts three years. Lead and oil
lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil and it's going to paint
your Town. Do you want to be in it?
Yours truly,
Il, w DEyOE X Co,

George McCaImont Relieved of $40.

The house of George W. McCalmont,
who lives near President, on the East
side OF the river, was burglarized on last
Wednesday night, and $40 in cash taken.
Mr.. McCalmont had been absent during
the day, and returning in the evening
had gone to bed as usual. In the morn
ing when he took a look at the place
where he had left the cash, there was
nothing there but few pieces of silver
and nickles, which he remembered hav-
ing in his pants pocket on retiring.
George was one of Uncle Sans defend
ers during the civil war and was PEN
sioner, the amount taken representing
the savings from this source for the past
years. There is no clue to the perpetrat-
ors Of the robbery.

on Sunday morning last. 1t is not

discovered was beyond control. About

burned. Mr.. Baxter owned the mill,
which was good one, and was saving for

which the mill was situated and on

loss of mill and lumber is a total one

an extra good wheat crop this year. l
raised about 2100 bushels from 90 acres,
or an average of 22 bushels to the acre;
25 acres of this was on corn stalk ground
and light, cutting the average down con.
siderably. About 25 acres averaged 80
bushels, and the total amount tested 62
pounds to the bushel. Oats were good,
but corn will not average more than half
a crop, owing TO the dry weather. We
have been living on the farm for the past
five years, and have raised quite good
crops during this time.
