RECENT DEATHS.

PORTER.
Elizabeth Latshaw Porter was born
Sept. 8, 1925, near West Freedom, Pa,
and died at the home of John Johnson, in
Nebraska, Pa. May 3, 1910. She was the
daughter of Samuel Lstshsw, one of the
early settlers of Clarion county. In ls45
she was united in marriage with Joseph
Porter and until his death twelve years
ago they lived in or near Scotch Hill. For
number of years she has been an invalid
but through all the pain and weakness
she was cheerful aud pleasant, grateful to
her friends for every remem brance and
kindness. For long time she had been
confined TO her bed and at last the weary
body gave up the struggle and as gently
as child falls asleep she passed away.
She is survived by six children, Martha
Porter, of Nebraska, Rosauna Patton, of
Rising Sun, Ohio, Mary Clark, of Mars,
Pa, Arsbela Slater, of Valiscs, Texas,
Joseph Porter, of Miola, Pa, and Robert
Porter, of Duhring, Pa. Funeral services
were conducted at the home on Friday at
a. m, by Rev. W. O. Calhoun, after
which the body was taken to Scotch Hill
to rest beside her loved ones. For more
than half a century she was member of
the M. E. church at that place.
MECHLING.
Captain Joseph Burlington Mechling.
survivor of the Civil war, member of the
Butler county bar, and lifelong citizen
OF Butler, died May 4, 1910, after a short
illness He was born in Butler in 1898
and after receiving his education in the
Butler schools and the Butler academy,
he graduated from Allegheny college,
Meadville. In 1859 he was admitted to
the bar and practiced until the outbreak
of the Civil war. Captain Mechling en-
listed in Company II. Seventy-eighth
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers.
Later he was made captain and served
under Colonel Archibald Bleak lev, faith
or OF District Attorney william Bleakley,
OF llegheny county. At the end of the
war he returned TO Butler and resumed
the practice of law, which he followed
many years. He was elected superin-
tendent of the Butler schools, which DO.
sition he held six years, until i'll health
forced him to retire. He was member
ofSt Peters Episcopal church, the G.
A. r., the Butler County Bar Association
and the B. P.O.E.

by many of our older citizens as former
resident of Tionesta, from 1867 to the
early 7O's. He was Commissioners clerk
from 1867 to 1870, under County Com.
mis- sioners T, B. Maze, John f. Gaul and

Esq, but the house has since been re.
modelled. Ofafiable, courtly and pleasant
disposition, he easily made friends and
held high place IN the affection of those
who knew him. The funeral service.

o'clock in the Episcopal Church, in But
Ter.

BE Fair ami Consistent.

In his letter of last February, addressed
to the electors of the Twenty eighth Con-
gressional District, Mr.. Sibley gives his
reasons for again being a candidate for
Congress, in the following language:
Personally l have no political smbi-
tion to crafty. and IL considering nv
own peace OF mind, should prefer not
to be candidate. | have waited many
weeks since receiving your petitions,
hoping that someone fully equipped for
Congressional service UOuld enter the
.Betd, out none hare volunteered" etc.
The italics are ours. At the time this
was written Mr.. Wheeler was an an
nounced candidate for reelection and the
above slur was directed at him. The
editor of this paper wanted to answer this
innuendo at the time it was published,
but at the earnest request of Mr.. Wheeler,
we made no reply. Now comes Mr..
Sibley, in letter published last week,
complaining that he is being slandered
and villl6ed by some OF the newspapers
of the district, and charging Mr.. Wheeler
with inspiring these articles. Every one
in the district, old enough to vote, knows
that these papers have been bitterly op.
posed to Mr.. Sibley and his methods for
years, long before Mr.. Wheeler ever
thought of being candidate for Con-
gress. This is especially true of some of
his home papers. We are very much
surprised that man who in every cam
paign he ever engaged in showed so little
consideration and feeling for his oppo-
nents, should now complain when the
criticism is directed at him. We truly
hope that if the dear people whom he so
strongly appeals to should elect Mr..
Slbley to Congress, he will be apprecia-
tive enough to not again think it neces.
sary to tell President some unpalatable
truths and say to him that no man should
win or deserve to win who depended up
on the rabble rather than upon conserya.
tive men of affairs" However the peo-
pie of the district know Mr.. Wheeler;
know him to be clean cut, honorable
gentleman and an able legislator, and we
know they will stand by him in this
contest.

The inclement weather of the past week
has caused considerable delay among our
farmers in their sowing and planting.
Not so much in the potato line. They
are most too cheap to plant. Can buy
them cheaper than raise ttem.
Forest Beck has recent Y moved on the
farm of Wm. Ehlers, where he is doing
the farming. Mr.. Ehlers' health has not
been such as 10 permit nim to perform
his duties as a farmer, but he is slowly

his many friends.

Amos Ledebur is very busy getting his

which be now owns. This will be the
third well in the last year. He intends
to hit the pay streak this time and keep
on drilling.
f. Il. Zuendel is suffering with COM

other ailments. DR.. w. W. Serrill, of

ONE census enumerstor in Clarion
county found but one pig within his dis.
trtct and that one was kept in corporate
town limits where it had no business to
be. The several farms included had no
pigs. This is not good farming. Every
farm should have a half dozen or more Of
pigs, as a means to prosperity. The
"prairie whale" is a mortgage litter and
a mortgage preventer. 1t was the de-
liverance of Kansas. Thel is an obyious
connection between this discovery and
the cost of living. There was a time
when every Clarion county farmer had
pigs in the pen and plenty of them. In
fact everybody that had half acre had
pig or two for the winter meat. 1t is the
abandonment ofth home supplies that
accounts to some extent for the abnormal
prices of necessities. oil City Derrick.

close attention of the audience as he des-
cribed this great phenomenon.
The class address was given by DR.. J.
George Becht, the much loved principal
OF the Clarion Normal School. DR.. Becht
made plea for education. His address

In his usual charming manner he COM
mended the class for their good work and
urged them to have high ideals and strive
TO realize them.

creditable manner in which they acquit-
ted themselves at their commencement.

A Veteran Pilot.

Among our callers on Tuesday was our
esteemed friend John Agnew, of Claring-
ton, who was on his way home from a
trip down the Allegheny river. Daddy"
Agnew is one of the old time pilots of the
Clarion and Allegheny rivers, and is as
full of reminiscence as dog is full of
fieas. Although in his seventy
year he takes a back seat for nopody
when it comes to plotting, and barring a
slight heart trouble, is as good as he was
in the days when he used to "hoof' it
back from the mouth of the Clarion, after
strenuous trip, at the rate of four miles
an hour. When he called on us he hadn't
been out of his clothes for five days, but
was still feeling keen snd alert. Mr..
Agnew informs us that this springs run
