Normal Scholarship Winners.

Principal j. George Becht and Prof j.
w. f. Wilkinson, of the Clarion Nor
NAL, and Supt. d. w. Morrison, of this
county. conducted competitive examina-
tions in Marienville and Tionesta last
Saturday for the scholarships to the Clar-
ion Normal school, which are provided
through the generosity of an unknown
donor of Forest County. This is the
second contest of the kind that has taken
place in this county, and as an evidence
of the growing interest manifested it is
only necessary to state that sixty pupils
entered the contest against about half that
number last year. While the questions
we're in the main rather strong it is pleas
ing to know that the percentages as a rule
were quite high. Following is the list of
the successful competitors:
Howard Hepler, Blocher school, Tio-
nesta twp.
Marjorie Hill, Gilfoyle, jerks twp.
Marie Dunn, Tionesta boro.
John Osgood, Tionesta boro.
Dott Bates, Endesvor, Hickory twp.
Elizabeth Dalton, Marienville.
Charles Dotterer, Guitonville, Green
twp.
Dean Mechling, Clarington, Barnett
twp.
Mamie Engdahl, West Hickory, Har-
mony twp.
Alta Isedebur, German Hill, Tonesta
twp.
Flossie Braden, Fitzgerald school, Bar
nett twp.
Bessie Douglas, Endeavor school, Hick-
ory twp.
In addition to the above list seventeen
other pupils successfully passed the ex-
animation and were granted diplomas in
the common school course of Forest
county, namely: Milton Wolf. Walter
Dunhan, Alice Ledebur, Willis Meabon,
Maude Garfield, Roy Noble, Myrtle
Mowris, Mary Setley, Bessie May, Robert
Huling, Charles Johnston, Theodocia
Clawges, Grace peitterick, Mabel Walk
er, Lura Jackson, Cynthia Carson, Eva
Tingley.
Had it been possible for more than two
scholarships to be given to one school,
Maude Garfield and Walter Durham, of
the borough school, would have been
among the successful ones.
These scholarship contests have awak-
ened wonderful interest in school work
among the pupils of this county, which
must be very gratifying to the generous
donor, who has thus far prohibited the
use of his name in connection Herewith.

James II. shoemaker's- Narrow Escape

James II. Shoemaker, former Tones
ia boy, who has been employed as a
brakeman on the p. K. r, for the past
year or so, had very narrow escape
from being ground to pieces while coup
ling cars at West Hickory last Thursday
evening. He was switching an oil car
and a cabocse from the main track to a
siding and, in the darkness, the cars ap-
preached the switcher sooner than he
had expected and he was struck on the
head by the steps at the side of the ca
boose, falling in such manner that both
of the legs went under the car, one of the
wheels passing over his right foot, while
his LETT foot was also caught and the heel
and sole of his shoe were ground to pulp.
He was given temporary attention by
DR., Morrow, of West Hickory, and then
dispatched to his home in Oil City, the
engine and caboose being detached from
the train for that purpose. At last ac-
counts Jim was doing quite we'll and his
attending physician thought it probable
that some of the toes on the right foot
might be saved and possibly all. He
was otherwise bruised about the head and
left hip, but not seriously.

Mr.. Collins responded in feeling man

RECENT DEATHS.


Mrs. Emma J. Scott, relict of the late
Winfield Scott, was born Nov. Is. 1916, at
Wesleyville, Erie county, Pa, where she
lived until about is years of age, when
her father, Jonh kirkpatrick, moved to
Tidioute.
She was married to Winfield Scott,
Dec. s. 1870. He died Aug. 8, 1880. There
were four children born to them, Mrs.
Chss. Snyder, of Oil City, Pa, Mrs. Gus
B. Evans, of Endeavor, Pa, John Scott,
of Aberdeen, Wash, and Mildred Scott,
who died in 1889. Two sisters also sur
vive, Mrs. G. N. Macdonald, of Lima,
Ohio, and Mrs. John Shaw, of Pleasant
Vile, Pa.
The deceased made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Evans, at Endeavor,
where she had host of friends who will
miss her very much indeed. She lived
in her own quiet way, making friends
everywhere. The secret Of her vast num-
ber of friends was that she never made
any enemies. She was true and loving
mother, and her whole aim in life was to
be doing something for her children.
Mrs. Scott will long be remembered by
those who knew her best for her many
graces of character and kindly Affection
ate nature toward all.
She had only been sick about two
weeks of pneumonia and heart trouble,
during which she was most tenderly
cared for by her devoted daughter, and
the end came March s, 1906. The funeral
was held from the home on Saturday last
and the remains were conveyed to the
Neilltown cemetery and inferred beside
those of her husband, Rev. Mr.. Scherer,
of the Eudeavor Presbyterian church,
officiating.

Large Lumber Transactions.

The largest deal in timber that ever
took place in Clarion county was closed
in the Office of Corbett & Rugh, attorneys
for Marvin Rulofson Co., on Friday eve-
ming of last week. At the same time the
largest check eyer issued in Clarion
county to our knowledge, was given by
A. Cook Sons Co. to Marvin Rulofson
Co., s2O0,0OO.00. The delivery Of the
check took on romantic character. The
delivery was the gracious act of Mrs. A.
w. Cook, to which Mr.. Marvin responded
in very happy manner, calling forth
the applause of all present.
We hear that there is a possibility OF
this timber being manufactured in Brook
vile at the mill of A. W. Cook. 1t is said
a railroad will be built from this mill to
this tract, distance of about six miles.
The tract includes over 5000 acres.
The entire purchase money was spot
cash. The attorneys for the respective
parties spent Friday in putting the pa
pers In shape for execution. Both par
ties are corporations. Corbett IL Rugh
handled the Marvin Rulofson Co. end,
and G. u. Gordon and j. T. Maffett rep
resented A. Cook Sons Co. in the prepa-
ration of the contracts. If railroad is
built to the east end of the tract for the
purpose of taking the lumber to the
Brookville mill, it will doubtless be ex-
tended through the tract to the mouth Of
Millcreek. The Brookville mill is well
equipped for the work, and its use for the
anufacture of the timber on this tract
would save the expense of a new mill on
the tract, or the repair of the one already
there-the old Marvin Rulofson Co. mill.
When the late Judge Andrew Cook was
on his deathbed he expressed a desire
that his family should continue in the
business in which he was engaged during
his life, the lumber business. And the
family has certainly done so. Imme-
diately after the death of Judge Cook, his
widow and all his children formed part
nership for the continuation of the lum-
Der business at Cooksburg. This firm
ran without hitch until corporation
was formed couple of years ago. This
company has extended its field of opera
tions into many other sections of the
country. On December |, 1905, an option
was taken by A. w. Cook on the Droney
Lumber Company's plant at IJnamis,
Somerset county, Pa, and in Garrett
county, Nd, for the sum of S2lS,O 900. This
option was accepted and consummated at
Brookville, February 24th, 1906, by de-
livery of the title papers. This purchase
included both the real and personal prop
erty of the Droney Lumber Company,
consisting of 5000 acres, band mill COM
plete, II miles of railroad, logging cars
and two locomotives, store, hotel, and 25
houses, including all lumber and book
accounts, contract dating from December
l, 1905. The mill on this property is run
ninghight and day, and the outlook for
the future is good. The title to this pur-
chase was taken to A. W. Cook, / to y.
B. Cook and to A. w. Scott. The busi-
ness is to be conducted under the firm
name of A. w. Cook Il Co.-Clarion
Democrat.

Always Keeps Chnmberlnin's Cough Rem
edy in the House.

"We would not be without Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, 1t is kept on
hand continually in our home," says w.
w. Kearney, editor of the Independent,
Lowry City, Mo. That is just what every
family should do. When kept at hand
ready for instant use, a cold may be
checked at the outset and cured in much
less time than after it has become settled
in the system. This remedy is also with
out a peer for Group in children, and will
prevent the attack when given as soon IA
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, which can
only be done when the remedy is kept at
hand. For sale by Dunn & Fulton.

A Stockport IN. " poultry farmer
has had great trouble of late because
his hens were not producing the proper
number OF eggs. A nearby neighbor
has fine flock of hens which were
working overtime TO produce eggs
While hanging over the back fence
listening to the triumphant cackle OF
his neighbor's hens, says local in
formant, an idea struck the luckiess
owner OF hens. He went into the house
and brought out his pnonograph. in
serted blank record and succeeded In
getting a nne imitation OF the cackiing
of the laying hens. lie then installed
the phonograph In his own hen house
and started II going. The first day the
hens We're greatly amazed, but the sec
ond day they got down to business
and ground out an egg every time the
phonograph cackled. The hens have
stopped caekling themselves. however.
and when the phonograph stops tney
stop laying and the originator of the
Idea has TO sit In his coop all day long
To keep the phonograph going.
