Death Of Rowland Cobb.


Rowland Cobb, former we'll known
resident of Tionesta, died at his home at
Clarksburg, W. Va, on Friday, October
~, 1906. at o'clock a. m. In letter to
friend here his daughter, Mrs. Mary
Cobb Scott, gives the following psrticu-
lars of her fathers illness and death,
which was caused by gall stones after an
illness of about SO hours. The letter
reads:
"He had an attack very much the same
only not as hard, about two months ago,
and has never been in good health since,
although he was able to attend to his
business at his office, and on last Wednes-
day evening about 4:3O he was brought
home in a cab, very sick. We called his
doctor Immediately and on Thursday
morning had another doctor in consulta-
tion and both pronounced his trouble
gall stones, and didn't give us very much
hope of his recovery. We had trained
nurse and did all that could be done for
him. He suffered terribly all the time
up to within an hour Of his death, when
he rested so easy we could hardly tell
just when death claimed him. He was
unconscious nearly all the time and
never spoke but few words. Mamma
is keeping up nobly, but looks so bad.
She misses papa so much. Mr.. Scott and
l will go to live with mamma for this
winter"
Rowland Cobb was aged about SO years,
and was born, we believe, in Sinclair
vile, N. Y. About the year 1868 he came
with his father to this county, and en-
gagged in numbering, their first operations
being on the Clarion river, afterwards
transferred to Green township. He was
an intelligent, genial and most compan-
ionable man. After a residence of sew
eral years in Tionesta he removed, about
10 years ago, to West Virginia, where the
family has since made their home Be-
sides his wife he is survived by two sons,
John and Joseph, and one daughter, Mrs.
Scott.
From the Clarksburg, W. Va, daily
Telegraph of October 26, the following
additional facts are gathered: Rowland
Cobb, one of the prominent lumbermen
fthe State, died at his home 1877 Terra
Gotta street, Friday morning at $40
o'clock. He is survived by widow and
three children, Mrs. Richard Scott, wife
of the chief of police of Clarksburg; John
Cobb. of Little Rock, Ark, and Joseph
Cobb, of Paris, Ill. For the past year
Mr.. Cobb made his home in this city and
for the past twelve or fourteen years he
was engaged in the lumber business in
this state and did quite an extensive bus
mess. He was native of Pennsylvania,
having been brought up at Tionesta. At
the time of his death he was the president
of the Krebs Lumber Company of this
city. Arrangements for the funeral will
not be made until word is received from
the two sons who are in the West, but it
will likely take place Sunday.

Butler county is considering a pro-
ject to name all the roads of the county
same as the streets of city are named.
The benefits of such plan are numerous.
The country would be mapped ahd all
the roads marked on the map. A large
number of the maps will be distributed
and the people would learn the geogra-
ply of their own county. The outlay
would be small and the advantages
many. Even the rural mail carriers who
are supposed to know the roads would
find their work simplified,
Halloween was celebrated in about
the sanest manner in TioDesta last
Wednesday that the Oldest inhabitant
can recall. No vandalism was reported
in any quarter, but the boys had the best
time ever, and the grotesque costumes
and ludicrous maneuvers of the mas
queraders were of such character as to
keep the average onlooker in fit of
merriment all evening. Such doings are
not only harmless but really funny, and
have tendency to make life more toll
cradle. That's the way to celebrate All
Halloween.
On the evening of the 25th ult. the
Kellettville Cornet Band and a number
of Mr.. Geo. r. Jobnsons friends gave
him surprise by calling to help him to
celebrate the fifty-ninth anniversary of
his birth. The band furnished the gath
ering with some excellent music and
presented their host with an elegant UNI
brella with the following inscription on
the handle, "K. G. B. to G.. r. j." Mr..
johnson also received number of other
beautiful presents, for which he wishes
to extend his many thanks. After the
gathering had passed away few hours
in amusements, they were served with
bounteous lunch and then departed wish
ing Mr.. Johnson many more useful years
of life.
Some hunters while tramping through
the woods. ID is said, captured five par
tridges which were Topping around the
ground in helpless condition. Investi-
cation showed that the birds had been
feeding og cluster of poke berries and
were hopelessly intoxicated. Just what
can be done to remedy this state of af-
fairs remains to be seen. Doubtless the
poke berry will have to go.-Ex. The
poke berry will not have to go, neither
will the pheasant. Al any rate wherever
the poke berry goes there the willy pheas-
ant will go after them, for no wild morsel
seems more toothsome to his pheasant
ship than this same berry. Whether he
eats 'em for the intoxicating effect we
know not, but he likes 'em just the same.

In Time of Peace.

In the first months of the Russia Japan
war we had striking example of the ne
cessity for preparation and the early sd-
vantage of those who, so to speak, shave
shingled their roofs in dry weather" The
virtue of preparation has made history
and given to us our greatest men. The
individual as well as the nation should
be prepared for any emergency. Are
you prepared TO successfully combat the
first cold you take? A cold can be cured
much more quickly when treated as soon
rs it has been contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. Chamber

FINED FOR RED HAT ON DOG.

BERLIN, July 7.-Saxony was stirred
up some time ago because boy was ar
rested for wearing a red tie, the emblem
Of Socialism. An even worse case is now
reported from the little town Of Erput.
The newspapers of the town publish the
following notice, received from the police
by a prominent citizen;
"0n the public streets at 1890 in the
morning, you were seen leading by a
string a dog was wearing red silk hat,
thus causing excitement. This was q
gross misdemeanor. We fine you 5
marks, or one days imprisonment"
The gentleman explained that he was
only celebrating holiday by dressing up
his dog and intended no Socialistic
demonstration, but he was told he had
better pay up the $l.25 and keep quiet.
He bad done both.
