"Mother" Shoemaker, said to be (be oldest woman in the Btate, died Friday night at tbe home of ber son at Sabula near DuBols. She was in ber 105th year and waa lemarkably healthy until one year ago when she waa afflicted with dropsy. That and old age caused ber demise. Mrs. Shoemaker was born In Dauphlu couuty, and went to Clearfield oounty over the old Philadelphia aud Erie pike, from Crawford couuty, where her husband died 20 yeara ago. After hie death Mrs. Shoemaker went to DuBols, walking tbe greater part of tbe distance. The venerable woman's 101th birthday was celebrated In August and she greatly enjoyed the celebration, which was at tended by aeveial notables as well as representatives of the big eastern news- apera. Tbe burial was beld Bunoay ai- 'ernoon ana was aiienueu uy gathering.

Friends and neighbors from far and near are cordially ovlted to attend these services. In last week's Brookville Republican Dr. J. W. McKniubt contributes a moBt valuable article on tbe history of the ex tinct city of Pithole, that once wild and wooly oil region metropolis located on tbe bill just beyond the little creek bear- n g tbe same name. Dr. McKnlght was on tbe ground wben much of the history f thisphenominal town was made, and be therefore writes knowingly about itwheu be says: "Tbe people were a grand con glomeration of thieves, pick-pockets, preachers, doctors, lawyers, financera, sharpers and highwaymen. . Ben Uogan was there in tbe height of bis fame and glory. Ills hotel was the largest and sliest dan In tbe cltv." As a valuable adjunct to the history of northwestern Pennsylvania the article is well worm preserving, and doubtlesa will be by many who have access to It. Through the efforts ol some barum. scarum space writer in that highly unre liable and sensational sheet called Grit, some simple minded folk have gotten the Impression that, as a result of the changes n nonulatlon shown by the late census (Inures, the salaries of soma county oftl cials will be either increased or decreased, notably those of thee mnty commission ers and district attorney of Forest county This ia sheer nonsense. Tbe latest act affecting tbe salaries ol county commis sinners provides that In couuties having 25,000 population or less tbe salary shall he300. And the act fixing the salary of the district attorney provides that it shall be $100 in counties of more than 10,000 noDulation. and $300 in counties of less than 10,000. Under this provision tbe dis. trlct attorney elected in 1!U will receive $300, but tbe salary of the present incum bent cannot be affected by the decrease in population.
