The greatest interest was manifest
ed in official and other circles by
the announcement made by Admiral
Dewey in the published interview.
His home was besieged all the morn
ing by reporters. TO all he ex-
tended a cordial greeting, but he in
dicated that for the present at least
there was nothing to add to whathad
been published.
Naturally the chief point of in
quiry was as to which of the great
political parties Admiral Dewey
would be the candidate Of, but te
questions of this character the replies
indicated that no positive deter.
mination had been reached. "Thert
are no definite plans as to the fu.
ture," said a member Of his officia
household when asked for informa'
tion on that subject. None of tht
officials or naval officers care to ex.
press publicity any opinion.

Thursday April II, 1900.

A plan has been arranged by which
the section of Tree Planting of the
Division of Forestry will combine
lecturing with its practical field
work for the purpose of interesting
the public in the subject. When an
official of this section of the Divisi-
on is called to any portion of the
United States where planting is es-
pecially desirable, he will arrange
for a series of meetings of land own
ers, to whom he will explain the
objects of the Division and the free
assistance offered to those desirous
of making trial of planting.

DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
an announcement that George Dewey
will be candidate for President.
Dewey says he is a Democrat and
that he is seeking the Democratic
nomination. 1t may be inferred
that if he fails to get the Democratic
nomination, he will run as an inde-
pendent candidate. His candidacy
is viewed in different ways. One is
that it is an attempt to head of
Bryan as a candidate and still an
other that he is simply ambitious
and that he announced himself as a
candidate without consulting any of
his friends. If he is tull-hedged
candidate, he made a very serious
error when he stated that the Presi-
dent had only to carry out the laws
and orders of Congress and that the
executive head of this nation re-
quired but little governing ability.
If that is his conception of presi-
dents duty, he would not succeed
as admirably in the executive man.
sion as he did on his vessel at Ma
Mia. Dewey is certainly a hero,
but he must have wider conception
of the White House before he can
carry on successful administration
of this nation

Horrible Burning Accident.
A Decatur Township Farmer Caught in
a Burning Field and Burned to Death.

Henry Hassinger, a Decatur
township farmer, residing along the
State road about two miles east of
Alfarata, met with a horrible death
yesterday afternoon about on
o'clock. He was engaged during
the day in burning some brush, when
the fire started in the dry grass of
the field and began spreading rapidly.
To prevent it from reaching his
buildings he started to plow up the
ground, when the fire came upon
him, setting his clothing on fire and
burning all his clothing off except
his boots, even burning off his hair
and whiskcrs, causing his death in e
few minutes, and burning his entire
body to a crisp. Deceased was
about IS years old and leaves fam
lily. His hired man, Robert Lepley,
was also severely burned about the
arms and neck. The fire spread over
nearly the entire farm, but no
buildings were burned. The above
facts were received from our Alfarata
correspondent by telephone message.
-Lewistown Democrat and Seneinel,
Henry HaSsinger, the unfortunate
victim of the above mentioned burn
ing accident, is a son of the late
Joseph Hassinger Of Spring town.

1897. The victim has many friends

The Kreamer Block House.

The Kreamer Block House or
Hendricks Fort, as it is called,
situate few rods west of Kreamer,
this county, is fast going to ruin and
decay. 1t is the only substantial
relic of pioener days and of those
times when the cruel Indians slaugh-
tered the innocent whites who rlsked
their lives in this territory more than
100 years ago. The Block House
was erected when all OF the present
bounds of Snyder County was a
dense forest and very sparsely settled
and in the very neighborhood of this
much neglected historicalspot where
the bones of the pioneers crumble
into dust and their souls, lingering
about, stink in shame and hesitate t.
acknowledge the present generation
as worthy progeny of noble sires
there occurred one of the most dast.
ardly and cruel butcheries of those
barbarous times. We publish il
this issue of the Pcsr portrait o.
the Block House as it appeared ir
in 1894. Now six years have pass
ed. Reader, as you pass by thi'
historic spot, take a glance at th'
only substantial vestige Of revolu'
tionary times, then turn your head
and close your eyes upon the scene
of your neglect. Snyder County

Chinaman who died in San Francisco
was sent to New York for analysis and
the report comes back from the impair

the examination that the man died I'M
mistakably of bubonic plague. What
have the San Francisco press now to
say of the flood of abuse they heaped
upon the head of the San Francisco
Board of Healtho Simply nothing
They should make a manly apology
and ad nit the plain facts. Gov. Gage
should join in the apology, but he
won't. He isn't broad enough for
that. You cannot eradicate bubonic
plague by lying about it. The Sacra-
mento Bee is the only paper in Califor-
MIA which has the sand to tell the trut h
about the disease in San Francisco.
and it is telling it in way that should
make Gov. Gage and the San Fran
cisco press hang their heads in shame.
