A MEMORIAL FONT

On Sunday morning at the Pres
byterian Church, a baptisimal font,
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Ikeler
in memory of their little son Fred
who died in 1902, was dedicated
by Rev. DR.. Hemingway. The
font is a beautiful piece of work,
and is also of historic interest as
the bowl is carved out of the cor
ner stone of the old brick Presby-
terian Church. The stone was cut
in octagonal shape, and in the top
is a nickle plated receptacle for
water. The stone rests within a
casing of oak through the panels of
which the stone shows.
A handsome pedestal supports
the font.
1t was during the Children's Day
service and at the appointed time
DR.. Hemingway entered the audi
ence room from the door east of
pulpit, followed by Frank A. Ike
Ter Jr., four years old, twin broth
er of the deceased child in whose
memory the font was given. The
bright and pretty golden-haired
little boy carried server on which
rested the letter of presentation,
and silver plate with this inscrip-
ton;

FRANK II. WILSON
ACCIDENTLY SHOT
Bullet Entered Left Side and
Passed Clear Across
the Body.
HIS CONDITION is CRITICAL.

"A. =. DeSheppard S repair Shop,
directly over Tooley & Company S
grocery store on Main street, was
the scene of most serious if not
fatal accident about half past nine
O'Clock Monday morning, and as
the result of which Frank H. Will
sons eldest son ofO. T. Wilson and
local manager Of the Atlantic Re-
fining Company is in very serious
condition at his residence on South
Market street.
The bad occurrence which was
purely accidental in nature can in
sense be attributed to Mr.. Wilson'S
courtesy and kindness, which has
ever been predominant character
istic in his make up. He had gone
to Mr.. DeSheppard's shop to get a
key made and the job was in an ad-
vanced stage, when Charles Hum.
mel of Espy entered. He was on
his way to the d. l.. & w. station
to catch the Io:4I train for New
York City, to be present at the ses-
sion of the Master Car builders AS
sociation to exhibit a patent which
he recently obtained on convertible
car door steps, and asked DeShep-
pard to do little repair work for
him. The latter informed him his
services were engaged, and that he
could not do the work, but Mr..
Wilson said he was in no hurry
and could wait. "All right" said
Mr.. DeSheppard, and walking to-
ward the railing which divided the
cramped area of the room, inquired
of Hummel what he wanted done.
AS he did so the latter took from
his hip pocket 81 callbre seif-act-
ing revolver. He extended his
hand containing the revolver. In
stantly there was a report and Mr..
Wilson exclaimed my God I'm
shot. Mr.. DeSheppard caught
him or he would have fallen to the
floor.
Attracted by the report Peter A.
Kline and William Rush hurried to
the top of the stairs and assisted
Mr.. DeSheppard in placing the in
jured man in carriage and remov-
ing him to his home.
Drs. Arnient, Bruner, Bierman and
Gardner were summoned, who after
examining the wound telegraphed
to Fountain Springs for Dr. Biddle.
Having been busy on a case at the
time, he missed the train leaving
Ashland about one o'clock and was
obliged to drive to Catawissa, and
come over on the trolley. He
reached here shortly before seven
O'Clock.
With the aid of an X-ray mach
inc the bullet which entered the
left side between the seventh and
eighth rib, and passed clear across
the body, was located against a rib
on the right side. There had been
slight internal hemmorhage,
continuance of which the doctors
stated would be serious.
HUMMEL GRIEF-STRICKEN.
Though Mr.. Wilson exonerated
Hummel for any blame whatever,
the latter was grief-stricken over
the accident and together with his
wife and father spent the greater
part of Monday at the Wilson home.
To the writer he said the revol.
yer was the first and only one he
had ever owed. He bought it
about a year ago to protect his
property from the visitation of
thieves, which were alarmingly
prevalent in his neighborhood at
that time. He decided to carry it
on his trip to New York, but found
that it was not in working order.
He thought he had emptied all the

signs fail was never more forcibly
demonstrated than on Tuesday when
in spite of the predictions and pa
laver of that element that always
enjoy discord and disruption, the
Democratic party of Columbia
County met in Convention, nomin-
ated complete ticket to be voted
for at the approaching fall election,
and transacted all the other busi-
ness that was brought before the
meeting without even a semblance
of contention or strife. The audi
ence which filed the Opera House
to suffocation. evidenced the fact
that a "hot time" was expected,
but it didn't materialize. The al
legged glaring incongruities of vote
and grossest absurdities of circum-
stance were discussed without the
slightest dissent or demurrase of
judgment, and at the close of the
meeting the curious ones left the
Opera House very much disap-
pointed.
The Convention was called to
order at eleven o clock by the tenn
porary chairman, w. c. Johnston,
Esq, he having been the perman-
ent chairman Of the preceding con
vention. Editor Chas. Randall, of
the Catawissa Ne7Os Item acted as
secretary.
The permanent organization was
effected by eiecting DR.. H. V.
Hover, of Mifflinville, chairman;
John G. Harman, Esq, reading
clerk; Glenn r. Wiess, Esq, and
A. N. Yost, Esq, secretaries. and
A. B. Black and H. H. Wolfe, tel
lers.
The judges made their returns to
the convention. after which an ad-
journment was taken until two
O'Clock p. NJ.
The first person to speak after
the convention had re-convened,
was w. w. Barrett, OF Bloomsbury.
He offered the following resolution
which was seconded by Frank r.
Drake:
"Inasmuch as fraud has been
charged in the counting OF the vote
in the First Ward of Centralia,
move that committee be appointed
in accordance with the rules of the
Democratic party, to investigate the
irregularitv of the vote polled and
returned in said district, and here
with present affidavits to substanti-
ate said charges. This is for the
purpose of bringing about honest
elections, and the result will not
change any of the nominations,
simply showing that votes were
cast for candidates which were not
counted or returned" "
AS a committee to investigate
the matter the chair appointed Her
man 7. Young, of Catawissa, O. G.
Shultz, of Benton township, Peter
II. McHale Of Conygham, T w,
Hartman of Scott and Jerry Van
Sickle of Main, who, after having
interrogated and examined the wit
nesses, reported that no fraud had
been committed.
When the examination of the
candidates for county commissioner
was taken up there was a slight
hitch in the proceedings, and the
convention was called upon to de-
termine who beside c. L. Pohe
was to be the candidate, w. B.

next to c. L, Pohe, in the matter
of votes, he having received 1911

BOTH PRESIDENT AND EMPEROR
University of Pennsylvania Confers
Honorary Degrees on a Number
of DISTINGUISHED Men.

Philadelphia, Feb. 23.-Commemo-
ration of Washington's birthday by
the University of Pennsylvania was
made notable by the fact that repre-
sentatives of three world powers par
ticipated in the exercises.
The United States was represented
by the chief executive of the Nation,
President Roosevelt; Germany by
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, ambassa-
dor to this country, who acted as the
personal representative of Emperar
William, and Sir Mortimer Durand the
British ambassador.
The occasion was marked by one of
the most enthusiastic demonstrations
ever witnessed in the Academy of Mu-
sic, where the exercises were held.
President Roosevelt was the orator of
the day, his theme being Some Max
inns of Washington"
The degree of doctor of laws was
conferred upon the President, the Ger
man emperor. the British ambassador,

Mitchell said:
Mr.. Roosevelt. President of the
United States: On the Fourth of July,
1888. the University of Pennsylvania
conferred the dep-rap of doctor of laws
upon the first President of the United
States of America.
The trustees of the same university
do now after 122 years, once again re
quest the provost to honor with the
same degree our latest President. This
makes all other comment needless"
In presenting the name of Emperor
William, DR.. Mitchell said:
The breadth and earnestness of his
imperial majesty's intellectual sympa-
thies, the personal generosity which
has fostered science and literature,
and his farsighted interest in the in
ternatiOnal exchange of university in
fuences. make it most fit that a great
university recognize both in the man
and in the ruler of a kindred race his
services to learning"

Bio Mountain Lion Killed.

Denver. Feb. ga -Salida dispatch
to the Denver News says: The wicked
mountain lion known as "Old Bob"
whose lair has been in the Saguache
mountain range for the past five years,
was killed Saturday by j. e. Hicks OF
Sargents. Old Bob's mate and two of
her young were killed at the same
time The lion is said to be the big
gest ever slain. He measures fourteen
feet from tip to tip and weighs 225
pounds. For the past five years he has
preyed on the range cattle and young
colts in the vicinity of Marshall PASS.
He was the leader of band of noun
tain lions operating in that vicinity.
J. L. Hicks, ranchman living near
Sargents, while out hunting Saturday,
found the carcass of calf which the
lions had killed and partly eaten.
Knowing they would return again
when hungry, he set three giant steel
traps around the carcass and with
drew. When he returned later each
trap held lion, but Old Bob stood
guard over the captives. AS Hicks ap-
preached the moster lion refused to
desert his mate and her young. He
dropped to crouching position, growl-
ing defiantly, and threatened to attack
the intruder. Hicks fired bullet into
the brain, killing him instantly, and
then proceeded to shoot the mother
and two young ones. Old Bob was
shipped TO J. A. Rogers of Salida to-
day. He will have the hide mounted
and added to $4,000 collection
which he had gathered during the past
twenty-five years, and which wast
awarded medal at the st. Louis Fair
last fall.

Argument of Force.

The rule of the mob is over in Colo
rado. No mob will be permitted to de-
eide the governorship contest if it is
necessary to bring in United States
troops to suppress it. But no such
extremity will be reached. The real
workingman of the Democratic party
will do as other people do, abide by the
decision of the Legislature. If it was
intended that such matters be settled
by mobs there would be no need of a
Legislature.
If it comes to a question Of public
demonstrations, the Peabody people
could undoubtedly make as much noise
as the Adams side, but such demon
strations are useless and convince no
one. To indulge in them would simply
be to show our incapacity for self-gov-
ernment.
Governor Adams finally appreciated
the danger of this mob movement and
issued a statement telling the politi-
clans and agitators who mad stlrred
up the matter that they were right, but
urging them not to come to the capitol
because of the excitement existing.
The danger of spreading this idea
among the radical element of society
is that If crowd or mob representing
one special interest may go to the AS
sembly halls and overawe the mem
bers and force them to do its bidding.
other factions will do the same when
their interests are affected and the
Legislature will soon be turned into
a rabble of cowards ready to fly from
one extreme to the other at the dicta-
tion of any crowd that looks threaten
ing.
