Obituary,

Rev. John George Brenninger was
born in Wurtumberg, Germany, at
Meinsheim, March 26, 1887, and died
at Sunnyside, Md, April /, 1900
AT the age of thirteen years he came
to America. He was graduate of
the Missionary Institute of Selins-
grove, Pa, and was ordained to the
christian ministry of the Lutheran
church in 1867 or 1868.
About the same year he married
and became pastor of the Accident
pastorate, this county, with residence
Mt Grantsville. He was sent as a
missionary to Africa about 1874 to
1876. While there the wife of his
bosom was taken away by death
After his return to America he did
not again assume the active duties of
the pastorate, but devoted his time
and attention to his favorite occupa-
tion, farming.
After his return he was married to
Miss Mary Gortner, who survives him
with six children. For some years he
lived on his farm on Manadier's Ridge.
This he sold finally and about nine
years ago moved to Sunnyside where
he spent the remainder of his life.
A1SIOs ny Ills SOOu anu uODlG lie lie
endeared himself to all classes of peo-
pie. Although no longer engaged in
active pastoral duties he was ever
ready to visit the sick, comfort and
pray with them, point them to the
Lamb of God that taketh away the
sins of the world" He was an elder
in st. Johns Evangelical Lutheran
church, fulfilling that Office and its
duties with great ability until he
heard the summons, "Well done thou
good and faithful servant; thou hast
been faithful over few things, will
make thee ruler over many things"
In large pastorate like this he was
of great help and comfort to his pas
tor, always seeking the spiritual good
of the congregation, and, in the alb
sence of the pastor sometimes filling
appointments, visiting the sick and
burying the dead. He has greatly
endeared himself to his pastor, to his
brethren of the congregation and to
his neighbors. This congregation
and community has suffered a severe
bereavement in the death of Father
Brenninger. The high esteem in
which he was held was evident in the
funeral service, which was largely
attended by almost everyone in the
community.
The obsequies took place at st.
Johns Evangelical Lutheran church
where a large congregation of sorrow
ing friends came together to pay their
last respects to one whom they loved.
1t is in the home life that he will be
most missed. Here he was the main
stay. His help and his council, his
forethought and guidance will be only
too sadly missed.
The companionship that made the
home life sosweet is broken and in it's
stead only the aching void of memory
remains. The sympathy of the whole
congregation and community goes out
to the widowed mother and bereaved
children in their loneliness, and their
pastor commends them to the love
and sympathy of Him who has prom
ised, 81 will never leave thee nor
forsake thee" GEO. A. ROVER.

Sucarmaking in Vermont.

The following clipping from the
Burlington (Vermont) NeaDS sent to
this office by Mr.. Charles Brown, re-
Gently of Grantsville, but now resid-
ing in Baltimore, showing the condi-
tion of the maple sugar industry in
New England, will be of great in
terest to the sugar producers of this
county.
c. w. Fitzsimmons, OF Underhill, brought
l5 gallons of new maple syrup into town to-
day, which represented the product made
from 1900 trees during the last week. He
got 90 cents gallon for it. Mr.. Fitzsimmons
owns one OF the largest sugar bushes in the
State. He says that the flow of sap so far
has been light. He further stated that many
owners of maple orchards in Underhill and
other parts of the State were cutting them
all down for lumber, because lumber
brought lot OF ready cash, and for the rea-
son that many farmers have become dis
couraged about the ravages of the forest
worm, which is killing the sugar maple.
Others are tapping but small per cent. Of
their trees. Indications point to small sup
ply of maple sweets this year even if weather
conditions prove favorable.
Commenting upon the above Mr..
Brown says: This statement is i'm
portant and interests the people of
Garrett county who produce 250,00
pounds of maple sugar annually. |
have always thought the producers
did not get near the value for their
product and understand that the
middlemen who handle the crop
make little profit. The parties who
adulterate and put it on the market
make enormous sums. Such sugar is
retailed here in Baltimore for 25 cents
per pound and in the form of fine
confections brings as high as rs cents
per pound. l am confident this city
could consume the entire product of
the Garrett county farmers if the
matter was handled properly. This
would add a great profit to the pro-
ducers. Some years ago prominent
sugar producer of Garrett county
told me that he had examined tract
of land in District No. 3 upon which
5000 keelers could be set. On this
land the timber was composed Of su-
gar producing trees, and in fact was
the largest camp in the county and
had never been opened. He thought
the production could be doubled if all
the trees were properly utilized.
Every year many Of the trees are de-
stroyed by fire and storm, used for fire
wood and lumber, all the time de-
creasing the growth of this valuable
timber. This is a great waste of
wealth and can never be replaced.
The area of sugar maple is limited
and fast disappearing. Garrett
county should protect and develop
her great natural resources. Nature
has been prodigal to Western Mary
land. Her vast mineral wealth is at
tracing much attention and we may
soon see her numerous valleys and
hills the seat of numerous industries "

Letter From Alaska.
SKAGWAY. ALASKA. Marc

SKAGwAY, ALASKA, March 90.
To the Editor of the Republican.
II was my good fortune to leave
Alaska before the cold weather set in
last fall and not to return here until
after the storms of winter were over.
The people of Skagway say that it
has been exceedingly cold here and
that the snow was quite deep, al
though at this time it has entirely
disappeared from the streets of the
town but we can still see plenty of it
on the mountains. 1t will not entire
ly leave the hills until about the mid
die of June.
To-day had the pleasure of meet
ing two men who had just arrived
here from Nome. They started from
there on January 9th. By making
numerous short cuts and coming by
the way of Newlato they travelled a
distance of 1900 miles, making the en-
tire trip by dog team. The animals
were very tired when they arrived
here to-day. AS soon as they stopped
they dropped down in the harness.
The men bring good news from
Nome. They report that it is a very
healthy place and that new finds have
been made in the region. Operations
were carried on all the winter by the
miners there. Some built fires on the
beach after the freeze-up and washed
out the sand while others had it haul
ed to their houses and these sluiced
it. The two men who came here are
en- route to San Francisco and after
attending to some business affairs
will return to Nome by first boat.
A murder which was committed by
an Indian last October at a point
thirty miles from Skagway, has just
come to light. Last summer q Young
married man named Norton, accom-
panied by his bride, left Skagway for
a camping trip on Sullivan Island at
the head of Pyramid harbor, where
they pitched their tents and settled
down, starting in life with bright pros
poets. Shortly after an Indian boy
belonging to the tribe near Norton's
camp was shot and killed. His death
was laid at the door of Norton and
his wife and according to the custom
of the lndians-a life for a life-both
Norton and his wife were shot to
death. About a week ago an Indian
named Hanson was converted at q Sal
walton Army meeting here. After
listening to the doctrine preached by
the Army the Indian went to the
Lieutenant and confessed that he had
shot Norton. The Indian was turn
ed over to the United States Marshal
to whom he told everything and said
that he would show the spot where
the bodies were hidden. This he did
and the bodies were brought to town
along with five or six other Indians
who were implicated in the murder.

Late Rev. VIM. Junkins Had $50 Direct
Descendants.
The Rev. William Junkins, who has
for fifty years and more been well
known, loved and respected in Gar
rett county and Mineral and Grant
counties, w. Va, died suddenly at his
home, between Hartmonsville and
Mount Storm, on Thursday, April 5.
He was born in May 1918, and was
consequently nearly 81 years old. His
funeral services were held at the Meth
odist Episcopal church at Hartmons-
vile on Sunday, by the Rev. j. o.
Thompson of Keyser. The house was
crowded, large portion of the stand
ing room being occupied. There were
present at the funeral half-brother,
eight sons and three daughters, two
sons-in-law, six daughters-in-law, %
grandchildren, and 10 great-grand-
children. One son-in-law, "a grand
children and 81 great-grandchildr
were not able to be present at the fun
eral Had all his children and grand
children, with husbands, wives and
children, been present, they would
have numbered more than $50, and
would have filled the little church.
Mr.. Junkins has been for more than
fifty years a local preacher in the
Methodist Episcopal church, and has
done an immense amount OF work for
the benefit of his fellow men, and all
without hope of fee or reward of a
pecuniary nature. No man was more
respected or beloved in the section in
which he was known.

Communicated.
To the Editor of The Republican.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The convention for nominating a
candidate for Congress from the Sixth
Congressional District of Maryland
will meet in Cumberland May Sth. At
this writing everything points to the
unanimous denomination of the Hon.
George A. Pearre by acclamation.
No other name is at all likely to be
presented to the convention. This
will be a great contrast to the con-
vention of two years ago when the
largest number of ballots were cast
that were ever given at a Congress
sional convention in the State of
Maryland.
Two years ago Garrett county op-
posed Mr.. Pearre from start to finish,
and even after he was nominated
the Garrett county delegates refused
to make his nomination unanimous.
This year we do not believe there Is
any opposition to the Colonel's re-
nomination, but, on the other hand,
we believe that the Republicans of
our county are practically in favor of
his denomination. We are proud of
his record. Very few indeed are the
members of Congress, who, during
their first term have succeeded in
making such a fine record as Col.
Pearre.
In the beginning of the session his
ability was recognized by the speaker
who appointed him upon several very
important committees. After his
short speech explaining the District
of Columbia bill he was complimented
by the speaker. His speech against
the Civil Service February 10th was
not only eloquent, but he proved
himself ready in debate, for he gave
his opponent, Mr.. Fitzgerald of Mass
achusetts, more than he cared for
His work in securing pensions for the
old soldiers is not only commendable
but in this particular work he has
been very successful indeed. We
have list of pensions which Mr..
Pearre has succeeded in obtaining for
his constituents in the Sixth district,
and from what we know we believe
Mr.. Pearre has had as much if not
more success than any other member
this district has ever had in Congress
in this line. He is doing more in the
way of obtaining pensions for the old
soldiers than any dozen pension
attorneys in Washington. The old
soldiers and their sons will stand by
Col. Pearre unitedly this fall. He
will not only be renominated by
acclamation, but Garrett county will
give him an increased majority over
two years ago of at least two hundred.
He has been faithful servant and
the people will stand by him.
