TIME is THE TEST
The Testimony of Richmond People
Stnnds the TEST

5
The test Of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon finds out when
Misrepresentation are made, and merit
alone will stand the test of time.
Richmond people appreciate merit,
and many months ago local citizens
publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills;
they do so still. Would a citizen make
the statement which follows unless
convinced that the article was Just as
represented? A cure that lasts is the
kind that every sufferer from kidney
ills is looking for

The ball game between Tiouesta and
Kellettville, Saturday afternoon, was an
occasion of great excitement and right
eous indignation on the part of the sport
ing people of the latter named place.

give the umpire "roast" which we think
would be better left imprinted, believing
as we do that baseball disputes should be
settled outside the newspaper office. Ed
We have not a word to say against the
visiting team, as they acted like gentle
men. The score stood l3 to in favor of
the visiting team. Mr.. Bowes, the catch
or for the home team, deserves great
deal of praise for his pluck. Before the
game started he was practicing with the
pitcher and got his thumb split open. 1t
required three stitches by a physician to
properly dress the wound. This did not
entirely disable him, as he went into the
game and did his part very well. The
home team did good work, especially
Hawks, the pitcher. The batteries were,

The Pittsburg Dispatch refers to the
proposed sale of the Oil City Oil Exchange
as the passing CT great mart, and says:
"How the mighty are fallen! 1t is but a
few short years since the Oil City Ex-
change made the market for commodity
burg and New York hung upon the tape
quotations from Oil City. Millions of
barrels were bought and sold daily, and
that edifice was the center of the widest
speculative oil market anywhere. Be-
cause its fluctuations brought discredit
upon the Standard Oil Company, and be.
cause it was charged with the ruin of
every man who lost his money, that
powerful organization suppressed the
open market. While the suppression of
the speculative market was protested
against by brokers and producers of oil
there can hardly be doubt the producers
have benefited thereby. They have a
constant market for their oil and no long
er any temptation to buy on margin what
they have for sale.''

Mrs. Conrad Ledebur Passes Away.

Mrs. Mary Ledebur, relict of the late
Conrad Ledebur, died at the home of her
son, G. F. Ledebur, Monday evening,
Oct. II, 1908, at o'clock. Mrs. Ledebur
was native of Germany, being born in
Hanover, June l9, 1913, making her age
over 95 years, undoubtedly the Oldest
parsonage in Forest county. Her hus-
band preceded her to the grave many
years ago. He came to America in 1871,
81 years ago, and took up his residence in
Pittsburg, to which city he brought his
family some two or three years later.
After few years residence there he
joined colony consisting of several fam
| lilies from his native country, and re-
moved to this county, settling on German
Hill, where they cleared up large area
of land into fertile farms, and where the
family continued to reside until the death
of Mr.. Ledebur. Since then Mrs. Lede-
bur had made her home with her son,
and although attaining to such remark
able age, she retained her faculties in a
remarkable degree until atew days prior
to her death. Some months ago she had
the misfortune to fall from a chair the
effects of which somewhat impaired her
activity, but not until quite recently was
she rendered entirely helpless. Very
early in life she united with the Lutheran
church, and all through her long life she
remained steadfast. earnest Christian.
Two sons, Henry W. and c. Frederick
Ledebur, survive, besides large num-
Der of grand children and great grand
children. Funeral services will be held
today at one o'clock at the home of her
Son, and at o'clock the services will be
concluded at Mt. Zion Lutheran church,
German Hill. In the sdjoining cemetery
the interment will be made beside the re-
mains of her husband. Rev. Ii. J. Rel
mann of Oil City, will oliiciate.

Shields & Gross Mill Burned.

The lumber mill of the firm of Shields
& Gross, located at Winlack, in Milestone
township, was destroyed by fire on Sun
day afternoon last, having been ignited
by the forest fires that have been raging
in that township, as well as in many
other places. About one hundred thous-
and feet of hemlock lumber was also de-
stroyed, but by hard work the men saved
from destruction the very valuable piles
of fine pine lumber amounting to some
thing like 100000 feet. Had this fine
lumber gone up in smoke it would have
been an awful loss, but happily it was
saved by very strenuous work. The loss
of the mill and hemlock will amount to
at least five thousand dollars, and we
have not been able to learn that there was
any insurance on the property. .-Ridg-

The Children's Home Society of Penn
sylvania, State Organization,
Which is Doing Good.

There are many methods of helping
children; some give temporary relief
only. Attention is called to the noble
work of the Children's Home Society
which received its charter in 1894. It's
aim is to give permanent home life to
children. 1t takes those who are home
less for any cause, and in a christian and
scientific way sees them through into
right sort and so successful has it been in
this state that already 952 little folks have
been placed. The society is vastly more
careful about placing children than one
might suppose. Before child is turned
over TO any family desiring same, the
officers of the organization investigate
through local board and the home must
be endorsed. Besides a report is made
covering the placement and complete
record of child is kept. 1t has expert
missionaries, whose supervision covers
the entire state by districts. Some will
remember the gracious lady, Miss Mary
M. Utley, who annually visited this part
of our state for so many years prior to her
death. Her successor is Mr.. George ii.
Thompson. who is now in the vicinity
looking after the interests of this society.
Our local board here is being reorgan-
lied and will be announced later. This
society is supported entirely by mem
bership and is nterdenominational. The
head Office is 7l9 Ferguson Building,
Pittsburg, Pa.

More Than Enough is Too Mach.

is the prime cause of stomach troubles,

Teachers Institute at Marienyille.

The arrangements for the County In
stitute at Marienville last week were
planned on a wise and generous scale and
were admirably carried out. Only one
disappointment was given the teachers
and that was due to the substitution of a
female quartette in place of the male
quartette engaged. The day instructors
were especially strong and the two lec-
lures received most favorable comment.
The character of the instruction struck
close to the actual needs of the schools,
and were nicely interpreted in the exper-
fences of the teachers. From an educa-
tional point of view, the forty-second ses-
sion just closed was never surpassed in
the history of Forest county institutes.
o. l.. Warren, of the Elmira Teachers
Training school, G. II. Gordinier, of the
English department of Shippensburg
Normal, and W. Y. Welch, of the science
department of Clarion Normal, gave in
teresting, animating and practical dis
cussions at every appearance. l. d.
Gresh, of Milton, Pa, inspired and en-
thused the institute by his untiring euer-
gy in the musical line. The Marienvile
high school chorus class, the Tionests
teachers quartette, two selections by a
male quartette from the institute, solos
by Prof. Francis w. Gill, and a reading
by Miss Clara Platt added greatly to the
entertainment features.
The financial reports were very salts
factory. The session opened with sur
plus of So go and closed with one of $4l.75.
Supt. L. Mayne Jones of Jefferson
county, and Supt. c. s. Knapp of Warren
county, visited on Thursday. The greet
ings from these gentlemen and the ap-
plause from the teachers gave unmistak-
able evidences of a mutual understand
ing and reciprocal feelings.
Only two teachers of the county we're
absent, and only two directors of the
county were present.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the teachers of Forest
county express their profound apprecia-
ton for courteous treatment received al
the hands of the people of Marienville
during the week.
Resolved, That we tender to Prof. D.
W. Morrison expression of our deepest
gratitude for the manner in which he has
conducted the educational affairs of the
county.
Resolved, That we extend to all the in
structors and lecturers of the institute
our sincere appreciation for their thought
full and helpful instruction.
Resolved, That we extend our sincere
thanks to all who in any way contributed
to the success of the institute.
