PENNELLS' FORTUNES.
Probable Disposition of Thsm-wifs's
 Father Principal Beneficiary.

Buffalo, N. T., March 12.-Aside from the s5,0OO home on Cleveland avenue, MT. Pennell had no personal property in this city. Most of his estate con- sists Of personal property including his $21OO0O of life insurance which is still part of his estate because the policies were made payable to his estate and it is therefore subject to the directions of the will. If the will does not direct the disposal of the insurance, there being no children, one-half would go to Mrs. Pennell, the other half to be divided between Mir. Pennell's mother and his brother. J. Fred Pennell. But Mrs. Pennell having died the one-half that vested in her at her husbands death would ascend to her father
 Mrs. Pennell recently came into a legacy of $14S,O ,OOO by the death of rela- tive in New England. If she made no will, the money will also go to her father.

JOY IN RUSSIA.
Cxar's Decree Produces Universal
 Feeling of Joyful Excitement.


 St. Petersburg, March 12.-The pubii- cation of the czar's decree has pro- duced universal feeling of joyful ex- citement and is tonight the chief topic of conversation in every public resort. It is generally attributed to the en- peror's earnest desire to remove the causes which recently produced such deplorable outbreaks among the work men and students. Fears, however, are expressed that the powerful part of re- action led by the minister of interior, Plehve, may delay or frustrate the realization of the czar's aspirations but great hopes are based on the known fact that Finance Minister Witte is a strong advocate of whatever reforms he considers the country ripe for. In any case months may elapse before the pro- jected reforms can be put into execu- tion.
 It is understood that the czar desires to modify the laws by relaxing the penalties against dissenters like the students, but no attempt will be made to repeal the law compelling children to be brought up in the Orthodox church unless both parents belong to some other denomination. One of the most welcome reforms outlined is that enabling the sober and hard working individual peasant to escape from the joint responsibility for arrears of taxa tion incurred by intemperate and lazy fellow villagers. Many other abuses of the communal system which pressed heavily on the peasantry will be re- moved.
 The paragraph in the decree propos- ing to refer the reforms to the provin- cial government councils is by many regarded as pointing in the direction of constitutional government.
 It is conjectured that the czar is will ing to enlarge the spheres of the zems- tvos (the elective district assemblies) by permitting them to deliberate on matters of local administration. In this connection, however, it must be remembered that even last year Minis ter of Interior Plehve strongly resented and in some cases punished those in vited to governmental conferences who were bold enough to touch on the need of legislative reforms. It is remarked that the decree does not mention the removal of the restrictions on the press. For the moment, however, among the general public, all these difficulties are forgotten in the spirit of thankfulness at the prospect of the dawn of a new era.

1T PLEASED
EVERYBODY.
Speech of Hon. ChaS. Emory
Smith. Editor of the Phil
ddelphid Press.

The Republican meeting at the
Opera House, Wednesday evening
was well attended for the first in a
quiet ESQ far as our county is con.
cerned) campaign. If everybody had
been seated all the seats would have
been filed.
When the band came in, the lights
vent out, and the jolly crowd enter.
aimed themselves with match torches,
and nobody thought of 'hands on
your pocketbooks."
Reymer's band, of which we are all
proud, gave an half hour concert in
front of the Opera House, and
one of its best numbers from the
stage, and receiving its usual ap-
plause.
Hon. Samuel Fl. West, our candi-
date for State Senator, stepped to
the 'front.', and in a short but very
graceful speech, introduced as the
speaker of the evening, the Hon.
Charles Emory Smith, who was Post
master General under President Nc
Kinley.
For more than an hour, Mr.. Smith
held his audience in close attention,
and was interrupted frequently with
outbursts of applause. He is strong
speaker, and presented his many fine
points in forcible way, that carried
conviction, aroused enthusiasm, and
offended none. He made a splendid
/ plea for the Republican party and
its claims upon the country, and
passed upon its great leaders beauti-
full tributes of praise. His diction
was pure, his manner sincere, and
his thought tersely expressed. It
was an eloquent argument for the
great principles of the Republican
party. and was backed up by reci-
tai of the great things the Grand
Old Party has done for our country,
our flag, for liberty and humanity.
In speaking of the part Americans
took in the war in China. he said
President Mckinley deserved the
praise for preventing a declaration
of war by other nations against
China, and thus made it a war
against the Chinese insurgents and
prevented a war with all China. His
|peroration was beautiful and thrill
ing and was fitting ending of SO fine
an address.
Praise of the speech, warm praises,
is in everybody's mouth, and per-
sonal meeting with the charming
Philadelphia patriot, only enhanced
the admiration for the man and

Progressive Supper.

The supper given by the Methodist
ladies, Tuesday, was surely a sue
cess, the net receipts amounting to
$50. Two houses might have been
used for each of the first two courses,
with good advantage, so great at
times was the crowd. Most of the
people, however, bore the waiting
with good nature, and the next pro-
gressive supper given will have an
opportunity to profit by the ex-
perience of others. The dinner was
delicious from the noodle soup to the
cake and ice cream.

Fond OF the Cars

Two little tots, three years of age,
Master Bob Cook and little Miss Zook,
ran of Wednesday morning, and the
alarmed mothers were on a long
search before they were found. Mrs.
Zook found them comfortably seated
in Maxwell's best cab in front of the
Logan House. Mr.. Maxwell had
found them at the railroad and had
kindly taken care of them. The
children had enjoyed a delightful
time, "seeing the double-headers and
riding in the big cab," but theiI
pleasure was somewhat spoiled, we
imagine, when they reached theiI
homes.

Democratic Meeting.

There was a good looking audience
in the Opera House last evening to
hear the Democratic candidate fol
State Senator. Eight out of ter
were Republicans, and if every one
present could have heard the speech
the night before, the proportion Of
Republicans at the close of the meet
ing would have been greater. Mr.
Clarke's arguments. can be classed
under two heads, "Abuse of Senator
Hanna" and "What would do if
were to be elected to the United
States Senate" He has a pleasan,
voice and makes good appearance
on the stage. with Mr.. J. r. Cassidy
aud DIR. Chalfant to hold up his
hands.

Fire In the Country.

A summer house at the farm
of Mrs. Malinda Kaylor on
the Silver Lake Road was making
a big blaze when discovered about
noon Thursday. The summer house
is close to the residence and the
danger was alarming. The alarm
was given and neighbors for two
miles around responded and the fire
was soon under control.
The building was of two rooms one
of which was used for a tool house.
The hook and ladder truck from the
fire department went to the rescue
but were not needed.
The loss is covered by insurance.
Two barns have been burned on this
farm that were not insured.

NORTH SCHOOL CLOSED.
To Give Time to Fumiqdte the
Building.

The Board of Education closed the
schools at the North Building Wed
nesday for the remainder of the week
in order that the building might
be fully fumigated. The exist
ence of number mild cases of scar
let fever caused some concern about
the matter and lessened the attend
ance for the past few days.
No case of the disease has been in
the school, and all means have been
used to avoid exposure and danger
The rooms have been carefully fun
igated day after day; and in order to
do this more thoroughly it is de
cided to take fnll time, for complete
cleansing and fumigation.
All who have any of the sickness In
their families should be very careful
about all exposures.
