superfluous here to refer to the vast
advantages secured BY our interna-
tional uions for the members Of their

Over thirty years ago the trade union
lists secured the establishment OF the
Bureau OF Labor statistics in Massa-

the kind ever established in the
world. AT the demand Of the A. +.
Of i. the department Of labor statistics
was established, and since then the
bureau OF labor statistics in the sev-
eral states. 1t was at the demand Of
our federation that the trade unionists

mand to secure The establishment Of

1t was upon the demand of organized
labor that the child labor laws have
been placed upon the statute books Of
our several states. II is our move

Annual County Home Dinner.

The annual dinner for the inmates of
the County Home, given by the Tionesta
w. G. T. w., on Friday, Sept, 80, was at
tended with the usual interest and sue
cess. The visitors we're most cordially
welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs. Hill, and
were given the freedom of the Home. A
splendid dinner was served in the large
dining room, TO which about sixty
persons did ample justice. Following the
dinner, Rev. Calhoun, of Tionesta, con-
Quoted gospel service. He delivered an
eloquent address which was aimed to be
of special help to the people in the Home,
but which was thoroughly enjoyed by all
who had the privilege of listening to it.
The County w. @. Il. U. recently pre-.
sented the Home with appropriate sing
ing books, and these aided greatly in the
musical part of the service. The hearty
cooperation of those in charge, the ap-
probation of the Home family, and the
beautiful autumn day, together made it
time long to be remembered. The mem
bers of the Union departed for their
homes feeling they had not only given
pleasure, but had received full measure
as well.

Cropp Hill Grange Hall Burned.

The Grange Hall on Crop Hill, Green
township, four miles northeast of Tio-
nesta, was completely destroyed by fire
which broke out about eight o'clock on
Tuesday night of this week. The origin
of the fire is mystery, as no one is
known to have been about the building
during the day. When discovered by
the family of d. J. Cropp, whose house
stands near the place, the whole north
end of the building was in flames and
nothing could be done to save it. The
hall was two-story building. 24x4O feet,
and was owned jointly by Forest Grange,
No. 1853, and William Cropp. The top
floor was used as the Grange Hall and the
lower floor was made into a store room.
Mr.. Cropp had buggies and farm machin-
cry stored on the lower floor, all of which
were gotten out and saved. The wind
blowing away from the house and barn
of Mr.. Cropp no doubt saved those build
ings from being devoured by the fiery
elements. A grsnsry nearby caught fire
and was badly damaged, but was saved.
The loss on the hall property is placed at
about 5000, on which there was an in-
snrance of $3.50. The Grange also lost
500 worth of furniture. 1t is not known
whether the hall will be rebuilt, but tho
Grange is in flourishing condition with
A members and will probably want
meeting place. The reflection of the fire
could be plainly seen here.

Jury Could Not Agree.


The noted timber land case of T. d.
Collins ct al vs.. l.. S. Clough ct al, men
toned at length in these columns last
week, ended in failure of the jury to
agree on verdict after deliberating for
nearly three days and two nights. At
1880 p. m. Monday, after having received
additional instructions from Judge Reed,
OF Brook vile, before whom the cause was
tried, the jury reported that il was inn
possible to reach an agreement and the
court discharged them. The case was
begun on Tuesday morning of last week
and the entire time until Saturday even
ing was taken up in its trial. the ques'
tion rested upon the location of certain
warrant lines and the onsequent owner
ship to about 450 acres of timber land in
Howe township, valued at upward Of
100000. In the first trial the verdict
was for the defendant, but the Supreme
court set it aside and ordered new trial,
which was the one Just finished.
The jury fees alone in this case
amounted to about S350.00.

Mrs. Nancy Springer, wife of John
Springer, who made her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Marjorie Beatty, of En-
deavor, died at that place Sept. q, 1910,
ia her seventy-fourth year. The de.
ceased was taken i'll about six weeks ago,
her ailment being dropsy. AT times she
suffered intensely and all that could be
done for her recovery was of no avail.
She had been a member of the Methodist
church for many years. During her long
life she had firm trust in Jesus. Her
last testimony was: "Oh, welcome death.
/ have no fear, for / am going home"
Rev. ]. f. Scherer, of Endeavor, con-
Quoted the funeral services, speaking
words OF encouragement TO the children,
who wept over mother who for many
years had been dwelling under the smiles
of heaven, mother who had built for
herself dwelling in the world of prom
ise from that sacred volume on which she
had been for so many years standing.
Mr.. Scherer spoke of the aspects OF earth
ly things being subject to the vicissitudes
of time; that the dearest friends aud hal
lowed and happiest love will in the course
of years be changed, and all earthly
things must fade and die. And since
God in His mercy has thought bost to call
the wife and mother from home, they can
rest assured that she now can sing around
the throne through everlasting dav,

SERIOUS FIRE NEAR GILFOYLE.
Large Farm Barn of Joseph Gregory,
With all Contents and Fourteen
Head of Cattle Consumed.

Monday, about the hour of midnight,
Joseph Gregory, whose farm is located
about a mile from Gilfoyle. jerks town
ship, was awakened to find that his large
farm barn was on fire. The family was
quickly aroused and rushed to the scene,
but so greatly had the flames progressed
that they only succeeded In rescuing a
span of mules and one hefer, the other
livestock, consisting of fourteen head of
cattle-milch cows and young stock
were consumed. Likewise the summers
crops, comprising 300 bushels of oats, 66
bushels of buck wheat, several bushels of
wheat, 20 tons of hay, and large guam
tity of straw; set OF double harness, fan
ming mill and threshiDg machine, besides
many smaller farm implements.
The loss entsiled will total fully $1,000,
on which there was an insurance of 81 200
in the Farmers Mutual company. Mr..
Gregory has no idea whatever as to the
origin of the fire, as there had been no
fire about the barn in the evening, and
seemed to be in the upper portion of the
structure. Spontaneous combustion
would seem to be the most PLAUSIBLE
theory, and that is somewhat remote as
the hay had been garnered several weeks
ago.
Mr.. Gregory is one of the industrious
and hard working farmers of his section,
and this loss falls heavily upon him just
at the Threshold of winter. He has but
the mules and heifer which he rescued,
and fortunately about four acres of corn
in the shock with which to winter them.

The Colonel even tried to make him
self agreeable TO his hosts by prais-
ing the dead dramatist Biornson,
whose body happened to pass by Monday
in transit TO Norway The Colonel
would have praised any Danish poet
with the same zeal but as he could
not remember the name of any at the
time, he compromised by talking about
the Great Norwegian. He would have
said the same things about 1bsen. and
he would have had equal compliments,
in Russia, for Pushkin, or Turgenier,
but that did not matter. The Danes
went mad for joy when they found
that the Great Colonel admired their
idol Bjornson.
No details for the entertainment in
Berlin have yet been announced, but
we expect they will recompense the
Colonel for ali his long suffering in
being courteous to the little Danes.
