To the Unknown Dead.

Their remains could not be identified
but their names and deaths are recorded
in the archives Of their country, and its
grateful citizens honor them as their
noble army Of martyrs" Thus reads, in
part, the inscription on a massive moau-
ment to the "UnknOwn Dead" in the ma
tional soldiers cemetery at Arlington
overlooking the national capital.
There is something peculiarly pathetic
in the memorials to the unknown dead
both in Union and in Confederate Gene
teries throughout the region Of the great
battlefelds of the country. More prop
erly their designation should be the ''un-
identified dead" II is only a question

Attorney, rs was also tho case of Connely
VS.. Landers q Wyman, the latter at cost
of defendant.
The grand jury was empanpelled, in
structed and sworn, and made its report
which was to the effect that some
slight repairs were needed in the Jail, al
so that the corresponding on the court
house was in need of repairs. No bills
were submitted to the jury of which Levi
Reynolds, of Barnett township, was the
foreman.
The county ccnstables made their re-
turns in one of which the existence of a
gambling house in Marienville was
charged.
Application was made for a road in Ii
onesta township, near Chauncey run,
also for a road in Hickory township, near
the Wing Hill road, and the following
viewers weer appointed by the court: On

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions in
the cure of consumption is very much
oyerdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free eXpectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus-
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan
ger and dread of the consumptive, can be
prevented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able to go to a warmer cline, you
Will find that of the thousands of con-
sumptives there, the few who are bene-
fitted and regain strength are those who
use German Syrup. Trial bottlos, 25c;

Clarion County Poor House Middle.

A Clarion dispatch under date of 18th
inst, says: j. A. Summerville and Geo.
w. TeXter, commissioners of Clarion
county, and John Shirley, county solicit
tor, were arrested to-day on information
of County Commissioner John S. Saxon,
charging conspiracy and fraudulently
altering and falsifying a public record
and the minutes of the county commits
%sioners, and also charging conspiracy to
defraud the county.
1t is charged by Mr.. Saxon that the
plans and specifications of the new poor
house were never adopted in an execu-
tive meeting of the board and when this
defect was made known to the other COM
missioners and Solicitor Shirley that
they changed the minutes of the meet
ings so as to remedy the fault.
Mr.. Saxon also alleges that the other
two commissioners fraudulently paid
500 to Solicitor Shirley. 1t is claimed
that the commissioners have not proceed
ed according to law in the matter
of the county poor farm and house
ever since the beginning Of the matter.
which was last spring. 1t is also under
stood that proceedings in equity will be
instituted to test the legality and stop the
proceedings of the commissioners in
erecting the poor house. u. j. Peoples,
OF Pittsburg, is the architect for the bnild-
ing and the contract was let last week to
Mr.. Iortman, also of Pittsburg, for the
sun of 1853, 600.
The accused appeared before A.. X. Cy-
phert to-day and were placed under $500
bail each for a hearing.
1t is said that G. G.. Sloan, Esq, has
been retained as counsel TO institute
proceedings in equity to test the legality
of the action of the board OF commissions
ers in regard to the county poor house
matter, and is now engaged in the neces-
sary preliminary steps to enjoin the COM
missioners from proceeding with the con-
struction of the poor house.

W AiHo''O wv NV NNohh VI "iAip ihb
ley, of Franklin, brought in the follow
ing verdict last Friday: "We fad that
Mills D. Kingsley came to his death by
the rupture of a blood vessel in the head
causing a blood clot on the brain, said
rupture being caused by overexertion
while engaged in a personal encounter
between the hours of IL and IL o'clock p.
m, Friday Noy. 6, 1908, at Centennial
club room, Lamberton block, 18th street,
Franklin, Pa, with a party whom we
believe to have been one Clarence c..
Doolittle." That let's everybody down
easy, even the man who lost his life, and
it don't hurt Mr.. Doolittle very much
either. But it leaves the public some-
what in doubt as to why so many spec
tators would pay a big admission fee TO
see two men engage in a personal en-
counter"
George Jennings, OF Guitonville, is
an occasional visitor TO this place, and
some of our boys have a habit of mag
ging" him. AS a result of this sort of
tormentlng some Marienville boys had
some damages to pay, and it would be
well for the kids here to let George
severely alone when he comes to
town: The Express says; A broken
glass in the front of the post office on Sat-
urday night is the result of SOME of our
young bloods teasing George Jennings
into a rage, George retaliating by throw
ing stones one of which demolished the
front in said building. George and his
horse, Lark" were in town and the boys
thought they would have some fun, with
the above result. We understand there
were same loud noises, the boys finally
settling for same by chipping in. This
kind of sport does not pay in the long
run. Some time, some one may pay
dearly for their whistle.

A Boom for President.

President, The little town up the river,
is thought to be on the eve of quite a
boom, in consequence of the activity
which Is expected to accompany the re-
moyal of the timber from the extensive
e. e. Clapp tract of land, recently pur-
chased from the owners of the land by
the Grandin Company, of Tidioute. 1t
is undoubtedly The finest piece of timber
in Pennsylvania, it being estimated that
there are 100, 900 600 feet of it on the
tract, and that it will require at least
three or four years to cut, saw and market
it.
During his lifetime the late L. L. Clapp
would hardly allow a stick to he cut on
his property. AS a consequence there is
a large area of almost virgin forest, in
Guiding quite a quantity of pine, hem
lock, oak and chestnut, all of which, at
the prices now current, is very valuable.
The recent purchasers have already COM
menced cutting some railroad ties, but
the real numbering will commence in
earnest at an early date.
Among other things a sawmill will be
erected on the flats, near the mouth OF
Hemlock Creek, with a capacity of 40, 900
feet per day. An iron railroad bridge is
also to be built across the river, by the
lumber company, probably at a point
midway between President and Eagle
Rock. The idea at present is to construct
it at the lower end of the island, between
the two places, at the head of Eagle Rock
eddy. This site has been selected be-
cause the river is narrower there than at
President. The bridge at this point
would he only about460 feet long, while at
or near the President railroad station it
would be about 800 feet lepg.
There is also talk that when the timber
shall have been removed the company
will sell the bridge to the county, if terms
can be agreed upon, the same to be plank
ed and used by the people who are now
compelled TO utilize the ferry.
This will tend to attract 10 the place
quite a little army of workmen, all of
whom will help to make business in the
various lines. Already Mr.. Long, who
keeps the hotel, is experiencing a fore
taste of what is to come, his hosiery be-
ing well filled with patrons most of the
time. He is setting a good table and Civ
ing better satisfaction than did his prede-
cessors.
There is every reason to believe that the
population of President will increase ma
terially within the next year.-Oil City

THE CRISIS In ASIA.

Following the failure of Russia to
evacuate Manchuria on Oct. s, the
alarmist correspondents tried to make
us believe that Russia and japan
stood ready to spring upon each 9TH
er's threats in, death grapple A
week has now passed. and there has
been no graphing, except in a diplo-
matte way. That there is a crisis IN
the Far East is very certain, but it is
by no means certain that war is I'M
more than likely that there will be no
armed conflict between Russia and ia
pan. and that the hands of diplomacy,
will untangle the knot in which affairs
are tangled.
In the first place, it is doubtful if
Japan ever expected Russia to eyac-
uate the Chinese province of Manchu-
ria, or whether she cares a great deal
whether Russia gets out of Manchuria
or not. Japan has little interest in
that province, and the little she has
would probably fare as well in Rus

contending for, is that Russia shall

WANTS GERMAN FARMERS.

Nearly all commercial enterprises de-
pend for success in large measure upon
the population of the territory to which
they cater. This population must have
two characteristics-it must be dense
and it must be thrifty.
Railway companies fully appreciate
this. Many of them make every effort
to induce immigration to points along
their lines, and they do not spare ex-
pense in advertising. They secure facts
relative to the country they present

fered in an attractive form. Land and
Industrial departments of the railroads,
especially created to give information
about sections that are traversed, are
conducted, and these departments never
lose an opportunity to induce settlers
to select homes. upon their lines.
The Southern Railway has ALWAYS
been recognized as a leader in the
movement to promote immigration. NJ.
". Richards, it's land and industrial
agent, has been indefatigable. He has
devised original plans to. bring South
ern Railway sections that offer adj
vantages to the attention of people in
this country and abroad who mediate
llchanges, and a considerable proper
ton of the new population of the
llSouth is due to the work of his de-
I,partment.
/ This may be said of the corresponding
departments of the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Seaboard Air Line, but
lit is prompted of the Southern by rea-
son of an enterprise upon which it
has now embarked to promote immi-
grafton of German farmers. This is a
plan well conceived, and if it is car

the advantage of the South and the
settlers who. under its operation, may
make their homes in this section
1t is the purpose of the Southern to
publish an attractive illustrated PAM
phlet in German. for distribution among
Germans in America and the Fader-
land. Wherever the road can learn of
German who desires to change his
place of abode it will send a pamphlet.
With this end in view the road seeks
information from Germans already To-
Gated in the South. From them it
would like to gain knowledge Of To-
