George Brewer Found Dead in Bed.

Our Kellettville correspondent fur
nishes the following particulars of the
sudden death of we'll known resident
of that places
George Brewer was found dead In his
bed Monday morning, July Sth, on the
Weller farm, below town. 1t is stated
that he had been drinking quite heavily
for several days. He did not show up
Monday morning and searchers climbed
in the window and found him lying on
the bed surrounded by books and papers,
where he had been reading. He is sup
posed to haye been dead about six hours.
A physician was summoned, who pro-
nounced the cause of his death to be
heart failure. AS there was no evidence
of foul play or anything to indicate that
his death was due to other than natural
causes, an inquest was not deemed nec-
essary. Mr.. Brewer was aged about 55
years and was unmarried. He had been
staying by himself and taking care of the
Weller farm for some time.
Nothing Is known mere as 10 tne ante
cedents of Mr.. Brewer or where he came
from. He came TO Kellettville many
years ago and had made this his home
ever since, being employed about the
mills and lumber woods. During the
big flood in the spring OF 1911 his trunk
was submerged aud all his papers were
destroyed and therefore not scrap OF
paper could be found throwing any light
on his past history. Neither is it posi-
lively known that he ever cOnfided in
anyone, but there is a rumor ahoat that
he came here from Connecticut. He was
quiet, inoflensive, industrious man,
and one who was well known in this vi
cinity The funeral services will be held
today, Wednesday, with interment in the
Whig Hill cemetery.

eve, 1910. She has been wonderfully
blessed throughout her long life with al

jury sustained in u fall a few years ago,
she has scarcely known day that she
could not busy herself with her house
hold affairs in which she always found
greatest pleasure. Her host OF friends in
this community wish her continued
health and happiness through the re-
mainder of her life among them.

Piled for life Tuesday morning at West

ankle. Mr.. Osborne, who is saw mill
worker, came to Tionesta last year and
purchased the John Cropp property at
the upper end of town. For some time
he has been employed on a mill in Potter
county aud came home week ago. Not
wishing to be so far away from his family
he determined to seek employment near
er home and on Monday went to Oil City
to look for place in one of the factories
there. During the night he jumped
freight train No. 35l, known as "lhe oil
run" for ride home, but when it passed
here il is supposed to have been going so
fast that he feared to jump and be went
on to West Hickory, where he jumped
just in front of the depot. This occurred
shortly after one o'clock. He evidently
lost his footing and rolled under the
train. his left leg being badly crushed at
the ankle. No one saw the accident and
the unfortunate man laid beside the track
until four o'clock when the crew of south
bound freight No. $50 discovered him.
He was picked up and taken to the Oil
City hospital, where his leg was ampu-
tated Just above the ankle. He with
stood the shock very well. Aside from
some bruises on his face he had no ether
injuries and it is thought he will recover.
He has wife and three small children
and much sympathy is expressed for
him in his misfortune. He was working
hard to pay off an Indebtedness on his
property. Mrs. Osborne went to Oil

-Titusvile has city ordinance which

rigidly enforced from this on during the
summer. The ordinance requires the
cutting of weeds and all noxious growths

every one within the city limits, at least
once month, thus converting a sloveuly

Discusses Freight Rates.

Taking up the subject of freight
rates between the Atlantic and Pa
cific seaboards, the speaker continued
by calling attention to the manner in
which the Erie canal has regulated
the rates in the freight traffic between
Buffalo and New York. Shippers in
that part of the country were at the
mercy of the railroads until they
were made to see the necessity of
keeping the canal in good order and
after years CT effort brought about
such state and are now Independent
of the railroads and enjoy a much
lower rate.
81 dare say continued Captain
Campbell, that with the completion
of the Panama canal, the rates be-
tween the Mississippi and the eastern
seabcard and the Mississippi and the
Pacific coast will be cut at least i'll
half

many Of the difficulties of transporta.
ton and rates could be easily dispos-
ed Of. Transportation by water is the
key to the regulation of freight traf-
fic.'
Quite lot of discussion was caus-
ed by the captains talk and no action
was taken by the association In re-
gard to financial help asked by Cap
tain Campbell for the purpose of help
ing the River and Harbor congress
push the pending bill through and to
keep up its work throughout the
country.
Captain Campbell leaves today .or

case to the Industrial Club in that
city. He will be in Keokuk again
next week and hear the result of his
efforts in this city.

Representative Campbell Of River and
Harbor Congress Starts Discus
sion at Industrial Club
Meeting.
WANTS HELP ON BILL
Panama Canal Is to be the Key to
Regulating Freight Rates Be-
tween Pacific and Atlantic
seaboards.

captain Charles Campbell, of Wash
ington and New York, addressed the
members of the Industrial Association
yesterday afternoon on River Trans.
portation and Terminal Facilities.
CAPTAIN Campbell is representing the
National River and Harbor congress
and is making a tour of the Missis-
sippi valley in the interest of that
organization. The National River and
Harbor congress is composed of rep
resentative commercial and transpor-
tation men who are interested in the
lowering of freight rates and the pro-
mitigation of the business interests In
the United States through the mod
ium OF water transportation.
The meeting was opened by Vice
president tombstone, acting as chair
man in the absence of President C. R.
Joy, introducing Captain Campbell to
the members of the association. In a
few words Captain Campbell stated
the object Of his visit and then went
into a detailed explanation of the
work that his organization is doing.
In part, Captain Campbell said:
The opening OF the Panama canal
is of vast importance to the residents
and especially tho shippers of the
Mississippi valley. There is a bill
now about to be introduced in the
senate that will seriously affect this
section of the country if it is defeat
ed l refer to the bill to be presented
by Mr.. Adamson, of Louisiana, re-
garding the toll to be charged vessels
passing through the Panama canal"
Explains Bill.
Here Captain Campbell explained
the meaning of the bill in which he
lie interested. It is house bill No
81 1863 and provides in part that con-
gress fix the toll on all vessels
through the canal and other matters
OF vital Importance to American ship
rers The section of this bill that is
objected to by the River and Harbor
congress is that toll on American
vessels is detriment to the best
business interests of the country
when levied upon vessels plying their
trade between states of the union.
The section of the bill that is eulo-
gized by the organization is one that
prohibits, after July |, 1913, any rail-
read or other common carrier, from
downing, leasing, operating, controll-
ling, or having any interest, either
directly or indirectly, by holding
company or otherwise any steamer or
boat operating in the coastwise trade
through the Panama canal. This. de-
clares Captain Campbell, will act di-
Irectly on the Mississippi valley by
treason that the railroads will not be
allowed to operate boats in competi-
ton with themselves and hold up the
1 freight rates.
i Captain Campbell here read to the
members present, the resolutions that
he asked them to pass. They are as
follows;
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-04-25

roads, but that the internal traffic
would be going on just the same as it
has for years, deriving no benefit
from the canal, for the reason that
there was no way to get to it without
transshipping the cargo at New Or
leans and thereby increasing the cost
to an amount sufficient to bring 1t UP
to the original freight rate.
After a great deal of discussion of
this kind, all bringing forth, from
Captain Campbell, good, lucid and
strong arguments in favor of the bill,
Mr.. tombstone put the question to the
directors and the resolution was
passed.
