MOYER TAKES RAP At
LEADING PROGRESSIVE
WESTERN FEDERATION MAN
RoAsTs BOOSTER OF FORM
Err PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.

Cripple Greek, Colo, July 1.-THE
annual address of President Charles
H. Meyer was the feature of the sec
ond days session of the Western
Federation Of Miners held in Victor
today. President Meyer reviewed the
efforts OF the executive committee to
exterminate the Industrial Workers
of the World faction from the fedora
ton because that faction opposes
the best interests OF the organiza-
tion."
Meyer referred to the strike at
Blair, Nevada. where the Silver Peak
Gold Mining company decided ito re-
duce wages on account Of lack of
ore."
He said: "The president OF this
company is ex-senator Finn of Penn
sylvania of whom the country has
heard much. especially during the re
publican convention in Chicago. A
progressive of progressives, yet he
would see the slaves of the mines
and mill in his employ on the Nevada
desert forced to labor under starva
tion conditions We would say &c
Mr.. Finn, If his mine at Silver Peak
is not paying proposition, close il
down, but don't take part in establish
ing reduced scale of wages in sur
rounding districts
Meyer criticised w. R. Hearst in
a bit of sarcasm spoken against tht
superintendent Of the Homestead
Mining company for the manner IL
which the company conducted It'll
campaign against the striking miners
Meyer urged a national campaign t
increase the membership Of the fed
Grafton, now to 100000. The. presi
dents address frequently was greet
ed with cheers.

WORLDS GREATEST SEA HORROR.
Feared That 1900 Lives Are Lost When
the Big Steamer Titanic
Sinks.

NEW YORK. April l5.-More than 200
persons, il is feared, sank to death early
today, when within four hours after
she crashed into an iceberg, the man.
moth White Star line steamer Titanic,
bound from Liverpool to New York, on
her maiden voyage, went TO the bottom
off the Newfoundland Banks. or the
approx imately 200 persons on board the
giant liner, some OF them of worldwide
prominence, only SOC are known to have
been saved According to the first wire
less message received from the Titanic
she struck the iceberg at 1925 Sunday
night, twelve hundred and forty-elght
miles east of Sandy Hook, n. Y. The
White Star line offices in New York,
while keeping up hope to the lsat, were
free to admit there had been "horrible
loss of life."
While the fate of the majority of the
1900 persons on board the mammoth
vessel still remain in doubt, and II is
feared more than 200 were lost, note OF
good cheer came from the ocean ways by
wireless between and O'Clock Tuesday
morning. 1t was in the shape of wire
less message from the White Star liner
Olympic, one of the vessels lowering
near the scene of the disaster, flashing the
news that sec of the Titsnic's passengers,
mostly women and children, we're being
brought to port by the Cunarder Carpa-
this. Other messages later brought con.
firmstory tidings.

EXterminate The fly.

Karl de Schweiniiz, executive secretary
Of the Pennsylvania society for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, says that now is
the time to begin the fight against the
house fly. For every fly that you kill
this month you will reduce the fly popu-
lation in the summer by several billions.
One fly on an average lays in season
twelve sets of eggs. At the lowest esti-
mate sixty flies are Matched from each
laying. 1t is fair to say that so per cent.
of the eggs hatched will be females. Each
female will in turn hatch sixty flies.
These will beget others, so that in one sea-
son single fly will by a most conserva-
tive count have produced seven billions
of flies.
Just as the bee gathers pollen from the
flowers on its legs, does the fly collect
germs. Typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and
many other diseases are carried in this
way from the sick room to your home.
Wherever there is filth there the fly
swarms. The fly which lights upon your
lips may menace your life with disease
germs. The flies that buzz about your
kitchen or your dining room may literal
ly be poisoning your food. As a matter
of self preservation, therefore, start righ,
now to kill the solitary flies which, il
given chance, will beget billions oI
their kind.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

In the year 1899, Charles Best of Pol
lock, Pa, was accidentally shot in the leg
near the ankle. Six inches of the smaller
bone was removed from the leg, leaving
him in a serious condition. Two doctors
insisted on amputating the leg. Mr..
Best said: mo, l will try ASlATIC
BALSAM first" Three bottles healed
the wound entirely in two weeks time.
ASIATIC BALSAM is the wonder of the
age for healing Cuts, Burns, Scslds and
Frost bites aud has stood the test for 30
years. Try it for Muscular Soreness or
Stiffened Joints on man or beast; for
horses Sore Shoulders, Sore Backs,
Kicks or Cuts. Progressive Liverymen
and farmers keep Asiatic Bslsam on hand
for the many injuries their stock is liable
to. 1t never fails. Try it and be con-
vinced
Mr.. j. L. Findley, proprietor OF the
Ford City, Pa, livery stables, says under
date of 1892: "We had lame horse be
come entirely useless. We tried every
thing under the sun to cure this lameness
aud failed; we considered the horse a
total loss. Weisfield's Asiatic Bslsam was
recommended TO us. After using a short
time all lameness disappeared and the
horse was entirely well. I consider ii
my duty to recommend Asiatic Balsam to
all horse owners"
Mr.. II. T. Farley, livery and sales
stable owner, OF Kittanning, Pa, says:
"After giving your Asiatic Bslsam trial
find it the best remedy for Cuts or
Bruises have over used. One of my
men while clipping horse had his lip
cut entirely through. We applied the
Balsam which healed the cut almost i'm
medately. One of my horses received a
deep cut on his leg, lameing him badly.
A few applications of your Balsam re-
moved the lsmeness aud healed the cut in
very short time"
Mr.. +. X. Weaver, of West Penn Jnnc-
ton, writes under date of Jan. l, 1899:
~ have used Asiatic Balsam for years
and 1t is the best remedy for cuts, burns
and bruises known. 1t is healing, reliev-
ing the palms without smarting. / have
always kept bottle on hand"

Saturdays Primaries.

To say that the overwhelming land
slide for Roosevelt at the. primaries last
Saturday was surprise is stating the
case correctly, but to say that a Roose-
welt victory that would he very decisive
was unexpected would be incorrect, as
the state has been aware of the decided
sentiment for the former President for
weeks past. This sentiment, instead OF
waning, actually gathered strength as the
campaign progressed. The result is
bound to have decided effect upon the
campaign for the presidential nomins-
tiou that yet remains to be fought out,
and II it should turn the tide completely
frr Colonel Roosevelt at the Chicago con-
vention 1t will not surprise the American
people. From the day that he left the
White House, three years ago the people
the masses-have looked forward to the
time when they could again put him
back there, and this, the first opportunity
they have had TO show their preference,
has demonstrated what hold he has up
on them. Few if any who voted for
Roosevelt on Saturday did so because
they distrusted President Taft, on the
contrary, most of them would acknowl-
edge the sincerity, honesty and ability of
the President, but they simply wanted
Theodore Roosevelt as their candidate,
and it would have been so had any other
man occupied the executive chair. 1t
simply means that The Colonel continues
to be Americas most popular citizen.
That the third term bugaboo has no ter
rors for his friends is also demonstrated.
In the roundup there was little left to
fight over, Roosevelt carrying all but
two or three districts, netting him SO dis
trict delegates besides the II at-large
which the state convention will name at
its meeting on the first of May, bringing
the total up to 60.
In Forest county the result is over 3
to l in favor of the Roosevelt candidates
for National delegates, and almost the
same on the stste delegate, Mr.. Ledebur
having sol votes to Mr. Carringer's lSO.
In the Congressional contest MIR. Speer
leads Gen. Hulings by 81. On the As
sembly question Mr.. Mechling won out
over Mr.. Campbell by 2O4 majority.
About the warmest contest in this
county was that developed IN the Demo-
cratic camp between the Hall and anti
Hall faction, and from present indics-
tions the Hall men won out, electing
John 4. Carson of the borough delegate
to the state convention, and Leo. F. Kest-
ing of Marienville county chairman.
The question as TO who was nominated
for Assembly on the Democratic ticket
must be determined by the official count
which will be made by the county COM
missioners today. So many of the re-
turns we're sealed that it was impossible
to get correct estimate of how the vote
went between j. l.. Simmons of Kellett-
vile, and p C. Hill of Tionests, both of
whom were voted for aud at last accounts
Mr.. Hill was two votes ahead.

Hugh Miles, in his ninety first year
and one of the Oldest residents of Fagun-
das, this county, suffered slight stroke
of spoplexy at about $50 O'Clock Friday
evening. Miss Delhousen, young lady
who made her home with the old gentle
man and his wife and remained to care
for MIR. Miles after Mrs. Miles death, be.
coming alarmed at his long absence from
the house, went out to look for him. She
found him lying in swampy place Of
mud and water few rods from the resi-
dence and unconscious. After Mr.. Miles
was taken into the house and cared for,
he soon rallied and is now apparently as
well as usual. Mr.. and Mrs. Miles a
number of years ago we're made the vic
Tins of bold robbery by three men who
came to their home, gagged and bound
them and then threatened them with
torture if they did not disclose the hiding
place of money. The robbers secured
two fine gold watches, government
bond for 81 900 and some money. They
took the family horse and drove nearly to
Titusville before abandoning it in the road
and then went to town and took an early
train from there One of the robbers was
captured in Oil City and the bond found
in his possession. A suspect in the case
is in the Ohio penitentiary serving a life
sentence. Their names were. respective
ly, Mcmahon and Gallagher. James
Marron of the National hotel, at that
time on the local police force, made the
arrest in Oil City,

Sheriff Charles G. Homan, who gets
around the county as much as anybody
else, is loud in his praises of the roads IN
Rocklsnd township, the good condition
Of which is due to the fact that King log
drag is used with intelligence. The
Sheriff says that the roads in most other
townships where no work is done on
them until May are in bad condition,
The King drag results in the ruts in the
spring beng filled with the loose dirt OF
the road, and in a short time they are
hard. Sheriff Homan says the road Of
ficials OF other townships could get valu-
able hints from those in Rockand.- =
franklin News. The foregoing applies
with equal force to all country roads.
Were the supervisors in each township
TO provide themselves with one or two OF
these conn aratively inexpensive drags.
and at this season of the year, before The
roads become hardened and bak ed, use
them judiciously The good roads problem
would be more than half solved in every
district, and a great saving of expense
later in the spring would be accom-.
plished These facts have been so often
demonstrated in the past that it would
seem to be unnecessary to point them out
at each recurring season. Why no moi
the tax payers in the townships insis
upon their officials adopting these com
mon sense methods?
