Get your ammunition from Scowden and

An exchange makes good point in
the following terse manner: John Wan
amaker was Postmaster General under a
Republican administration. Charles En-
ory Smith was also Postmaster General
under a Republican administration. Lewis
Emery served in the State Senate once as
Republican. Three disappointed Re-
publican Office seekers are now running
the Democratic campaign for the sole
reason that they could not run the Re-
publican party.

the older inhabitants still remember him
as an honorable, upright man, who bore

james Campbell, the postmaster at
Lynch, this county, died on Friday last.
We are without particulars as to the
cause of death, but understand it was
sudden. He was about 30 years of age,
and when boy had sustained an injury
to one of his legs, necessitating the am
putation of the same between the ankle
and knee. The funeral was held on sun
day, with interment at Barnes. Mr..
Campbell was an industrious man, very
much respected in his community.

ship, had three rather unwelcome callers
at her school one day last week during
school hours. A mother bear brought
two cubs TO school, coming quite close
to the school house door and then wan
dering off into the woods. Miss Edna
naively remarked in a letter to her
mother here that she "didnt think they
were vaccinated, either" Who says our
teachers aren't made of the right kind of
stuff.
Joseph ]. Carson, one of Harmony
townships we'll known citizens was at
tackled while walking along the public
road about three miles up Hunter run a
day or so ago. 1t was dark and Mr..
Carson was carrying an umbrella and did
not see his assailant, who struck him a
vicious blow in the face, knocking him
to his knees. When he regained his feet
the cowardly miscreant had disappeared
in the woods. Mr.. Carson thinks the
assault was intended for some other
person.
Hon. J. II. Robertson returned from
the capitol dedication at Harrisburg last
Friday, where he heard President Roose-
velt deliver the speech of his life. Mr..
r. says the crowd was immense, and
that the new capitol is simply grand be-
yond compare, and that any Pennsylva-
nian who sees it and whose heart does
not swell with pride for his State. can
have little loyalty in his makeup. Peo-
pie who went there to criticize came
away singing the praises of the magnifi-
cent editice.
The logging train on the road up
Salmon creek met with an accident Fri
day about two miles from the company's
mills. While coming down the grade
and rounding sharp curve the car on
which the log loader was stationed
jumped the track and the loader, a big
concern weighing over 20 tons, toppled
over. Two men on the car at the time
were luckily so situated that they could
Jump, otherwise both must have been
killed. They sustained some injuries,
but not of serious nature.
Our candidate for Congress. Hon.
Nelson P. Wheeler, who came down
from Endeavor to meet Messrs. Stuart
and Murphy, spent portion of the day
here, calling on his friends and making
new ones. He was accompanied by his
private secretary, Gus B. Evans, who has
a good eye and is an excellent. man to
look after the details of his campaign.
The candidate, who freely admits he is
not politician, has a most charming
personality, pleasing candor and an air
of independence which is most refresh
ing.-Oil City Blizzard.
