JOHNSON.

George Riley johnson was born at
Neversink Flats, Sullivan county, N. Y,
October 20, ls47, and died at his home
in Kellettvile, Pa, at 2:45 o'clock Sun
day morning, August 49, 1914, of liver
trouble. He was married March %, 1872,
to Lucretia J. Lamont, at Claryville, N.
Y, and took up housek keeping at Den
ming, N. Y. He also resided at Balm
bridge and Coventryville, n. Y, where
he was interested in the tannery and
mercantile business. Twenty-Five years
ago he came to Kellettville and was
superintendent of the tsnnery until it
was discontinued two years ago. Four
children we're born to this union, all of
whom, with the stricken wife, are left
to survive him, as follows: James W.
johnson of Harrison Valley, Pa, Oscar
l.. Johnson of Sheffield, Pa, Mrs. Luela
Gun bingham of Kellettville, and Mrs.
Fannie E. Murphy of Ridgway, Pa. He
is also survived by seven grandchildren.
Funeral services will be conducted at
the family home Wednesday evening at
500 o'clock and interment will be made
at Sheffield, Thursday. In the twenty
five years that Mr.. johnson had lived in
Kellettville he had made many friends
He was man who was not only liberal
in helping those in need but had the tact
necessary to get others to help out, and
many philanthropic movements we're
successfully carried out by his efforts.
He had been great sufferer for the past
year but was so patient, cheerful and
optimistic through it all that few people
realized his condition. Those who knew
the facts could but admire and respect
the forttude thus manifested. Mr.. John
son is the last one of his family, his
brother Winfield having died several
months ago. The following poem was
found in the old family bible of the de-
ceased:

The COUNTY JAIL
ASERIOUS MENACE
Below the Level Of Penal In
StltutiOnS.
IT is A SCHOOL OF CRIME.

The County Jail Was Universally Con-
demned by the international Conven-
ton of Criminolosists, Who Praised
Other American Penal Institutions.
1t Supports the Vicious In ldIeness.
At the time it was decided to hold
the International convention of crimi-
biologists in the city Of Washington
more than year ago congress appro-
priated $4,000 in order that these for.
elgn students Of crime might visit at
our expense our penal institutions. AS
they went about there was much
praise of some of our state peniten-
tlaries and reformatories, but an al
most universal condemnation of our
county jails, as not merely below the
level of our other penal institutions,
but as below the standards of all 9th
er civilized countries.
County jails are usually open to in-
spection and one does not need to be
very expert TO see the evils that were
pointed out. The Jail is usually in
charge Of sheriff. who is elected each
year or two years by popular vote. He
probably knows nothing about crimi-
nology or the care of criminals lie
is elected because he is personally
popular. He is the superior officer
of the county, and, while his services
are entirely amateur and inexpert. he
is irresponsible and without any reg
ulGr supervision.
The jails will often he found TO be
in filthy condition and without any
adequate ventilation. The inmates
lead their lives largely in common, and
the vilest outrages are sometimes COM
mitted on the weaker members. Ia
many jails juvenile offenders are still
put in with hardened criminals. The
language is often full of that mean
ingless obscenity and profanity which
make our intelligence as well as our
virtue blush. The inmates are idle.
of course or playing cards.
The Jail has been termed "A school
of crime at public expense" 1t is sure
~ admirably fitted for that purpose.

The Higdon Coal Company, of

that road arbitrarily refused to
perform certain shipping services
at its fixed rate. The road car
ried the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States, where
the coal company WAS awarded
this week $3,037.0O. This shows
how mean this railroad is. This
road will carry trivial cases to
the court of last resort to defeat
justice for the sole purpose of
running the bluff on the people,
and it certainly has the bluff in
on many officers of this State and
the people too. A poor man can
not law for his just rights, so this
road is wringing unjustly thou
sands of dollars yearly from the
defenseless public, and some of
the officers whose duty it is to
prosecute them refuse to do so
from some unexplainable cause,
but most people will guess why.

had been declining for about a year
from Bright's disease, took a sud.

three months ago.
Becoming suddenly alarmed, less
by far at the approach Of death
than at the thought Of a misspent
life, he began with characteristic
lrankness to make his peace with
his God You would not have
thought that Jim would have spent
days and nights. on bis knees with
out food or sleep, and when the
mists of evil had been dispelled by
the Sun Of Righteousness, he began
at once to warn Others not to
squander time,
Not only the leading Missionary
woman at Tulsa, but the draymau
on the streets told me of his many
beautiful thoughts about the higher
life, He wrote his parents that his
sins were forgiven, and still hoping
when there was 20 hope that he
would get well and that they would
precedc him to the Better Land,
He told them to open the Heavenly
Gate and admit him with their

While he considered his life q fail.

MINING Notes.

A large concentrating plant has
been purchased in Joplin by the
operators of the old Silver Moon
mine near Omaha just across the
line in Taney, Mo, and as soon
it can be put up it will be started to
work at once. This old mine is an
an auxiliary district, really part OF
the Arkansas field and the operators
have been in pay ore in a hSsure tor
some time. The shaft now being
sunk goes down between the walls
of the fssure for 90 feet. 1t is in
lead and jack both in good
quantities. This property was
worked before the war, but because
of a lack of transportation it was
abandoned many years ago. Only
recently work was started again,
A renewal of interest in the mining
field near Cricket and Omaha in the
northern part of the county has
brought out the report that owners
of the Red Buck mine near Omaha
are negotiating with Oklahoma
men with regard to probable lease
on the property. The lease if closed
will probably embody a clause pro,
viding for purchase at a price OF
$4,000.
