DEATH'S DOINGS.
COOK.
Another of our oldest citizens passed
to the great beyond, last Saturday, at
City Hotel. Ex-Sheriff LeQrand Cook,
aged 77 years and four months, who
was stricken down with apoplexy at
the City Hotel, Feb. 28th, remained in
a conscious condition until death
relieved his suffering. Deceased was
born at Smetbport, Pa., Nov. sth, 1830,
being the only son of Elias J., and As
centhia Cook. Mr. Cook leaves one
child, Mrs. Nellie Pearl, and three
elderly sisters, viz: Mrs. A. Shade,
Berring Springs, Mich., Mrs A. Ripley,
Sherman, N. Y., and Mrs. M. Aldrich,
Pierre, S.D.,nooe of whom were able to
be here on account of physical condi
tion, except his daughter, who arrived
us .-oon as possible and remained untij,
the last. Mr. D. H. Harris, of Mendon,
Mich., an old friend of the family,
accompanied Mrs. Pearl to Em
porium and remains here, assisting in
getting the deceased's affairs in shape
for settlement. Her husband, who is
in Los Angeles, Gal., was unable to be
here in time for funeral.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral services took place at
Emmanuel Episcopal Church Monday
afternoon at 2:30 p. in., Rev. J. M.
Robertson, officiating. The pall bear
ers were old friends of the deceased,
viz: Hon. J. C. Johnson, Ex-Sheriff
Riley Warner, Ex-Sheriff R. M. Over
hiser, J. F. Parsons, F. i). Leet and M.
M. harrabee Mrs. Pearl and Under
taker Geo.lJ. Laßar's assistant, Mr. C.
W. Risliell, accompanied the remains
to Buffalo on 4:20 train, Monday after
noon, interment being made in Forest
Lawn—friends meeting the remains
upon arrival at Buffalo.
LeGrand Cook came to Emporium
in 1858 and for years owned and con
ducted Cook's Hotel, one of the best
known hostel ries in this region.
After the destruction of his hot el he
devoted his time to farming and stock
raising. He was active all his life and
despite his age, was er.ergetic and
cheerful up to within a few days of his
death. He enjoyed the friendship of
very many of our citizens. More than
one poor man has reason to remember
the kindness of L. G. Cook when he
conducted the old and popular Cook
House. Deceased leaves a large
amount of real estate in Emporium, al
so a valuable farm in Shippen town
ship.

A cordial invitation is extended to the
public. The lecture will be given in

Institute, which will hold another ses

be glad to hear that Patten and Flet
; cher's big fun show Jerry from Kerry
will hold the boards at the Emporium
Opera House on March 20th. The
management of this attraction have
spared no expense in securing the best
artists to interpret the different roles
of this funny comedy, and now after
nine years of continued success, it is
j said by both press and public to be
| oven better than previous years. The
| Company are still carrying their own
I superior uniformed concert, band and
; orchestra, giving band concerts, after
' noon and evening.
"Liberty and Union, One and Inseparable." —WEßSTEß.
EMPORIUM, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 1908.
Senator Knox Active.
WASHINGTON, March 7. —(Special)—
| Two of the most important measures
j introduced at this session of congress,
j the employers liability bill and the
i postal savings bank bill, was introduc
! Ed by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania.
. Both of these bills, are now under con
! sideration in committee and will be re
i ported to the senate at an early date,
j The indications are that both will be
j come laws at this session.
A sub committee of the committee
j on judiciary is holding hearings on the
employers' liability bill, giving the
j workmen and the railroads every op
! portunity to present arguments for
i and against it The object for which
| Senator Knox strove in framing the
I bill is the one that will be kept to the
I front by the committee in reporting
j upon it, and that is to give the work
j men the greatest consideration possible
; for their protection and yet keep with
j in the bounds of the constitution, so
j that when the bill becomes a law and
j gets before the courts, it will not suffer
■ the same unfortunate fate that the
■ former law did.
I The postal savings bank bill is now
| being considered by a sub committee of
j the postollices and post roads. Two
j other bills, having the same object as
that introduced by Senator Knox are
before this sub committee, but it is be
lieved that the Knox bill will be re
ported to the senate. This bill embod
ies the views of the postmaster general
] and has the backing of President
| Roosevelt and the administration.
Every effort will be made to secure its
passage at this session of congress and
the prospects of success are good.
Bankers and financiers as a rule will
favor it, as they recognize that it will
j go a long way towards preventing the
recurrence of such financial stringency
as the country has just passed through.
The people will welcome it as it will
provide an absolutely safe depositary
j for their savings.
Trout Fishing
Although the season for trout fishing
has not yet opened it is reported that
trout have been brought in already
and sold. The names of the parties
who have been guilty of this offense
have been handed to one of our sports
men, together with the names of sev
eral others who have been known to
make a practice of this business of
selling trout, both by delivering them
to town and keeping them for sale at
home, and as an organization known
as the Fish and Game Protective Asso
ciation of this county has been formed,
a game warden will keep a vigilant
watch of these parties and others who
are inclined to break the law. It will
not be safe for any one to offer brook
trout for sale, as the party may be a
spy and you may be the individual he
is looking for. On the other hand
there may be some one watching the
man who has been known to buy trout
year after year and then both parties
will be trapped. The law on Sunday
fishing will also be strictly enforced.
Now it anyone gets into trouble this
spring, they can blame no one but
themselves, the law being very plain
and cannot be mistaken in any way.
There will be forty-two cans of trout
fry distributed among our several
streams some time next week.
After Votes.
Samuel D. McCool, Republican can
didate for Associate Judge nomination,
visited his many Emporium friends on
Wednesday and reports his prospects
encouraging. Mr. McCool, who is j
Adams Express Agent at Driftwood, is
one of thejiuost popular down county
gentlemen and if nominated will make
a strong pull for the goal.
A Rare Treat.
A chicken supper will be served at
! the home of Mr. Isaac Leggett on West
I Creek, Saturday evening, March 14th.
j Supper will be served from six to ten
•p. in. Price 25 cents. All the ladies
I are requested to wear pink ribbon.
Special Offer.
In order to dispose of my last year's
! over stock of cards, I will make photo*
| graphs during the month of March at a
| reduction of 25 to 35 per cent. Now
! this is a time to get good photographs
{ very cheap. Call and see the work.

Lawless Liberty.
The only liberty ccirratihle with civilization
is the liberty to do as you please as far and
as long as such freedom of action does not
curb the liberty of other men to do as they
please. The anarchist idea of liberty is sum
med up in the assertion.of the right to kill
the opposerg of anarchy.
Socialism denies any relationship to
anarchy, but 4,000 socialists listened to
Hay wood declare that the right to steal
was the first law of nature.
When life and the secure possession
of property is in danger we cannot
urgue any fine distinction between
Socialism and anarchism and the
state and national authorities arc doing
well to awaken to this fact and to de
termine tiiat in free America anarchy,
and ali its kindred associations, must
be eradicated.
There is no liberty possible except
the liberty of law. The killing of a
Priest at the altar, the mob of miners
unions at Goldfleld and the night rid
ers in the tobacco districts o'.'Kentucky,
are only violent examples of fanatic
ism and ignorance. The stronger and
more intelligent a man is the more con
servative and law abiding he is, and
the harder it is to hypnotize him with
new fads, fancies and isms Intelli
gent good-will can wipe out ignorant
ill-will and the proper way to help do
it is through the public schools and a
free and safe election ballot. Every
child should be compelled togo to
school, and every man should be com
pelledtogoto the polls ami vote an
entirely independent and secret ballot.
Then protect the counting of the votes
from all fraud and you will have an in
telligent expression of what the people
want and, like the jury system, it will
be about right and the people will be
satisfied ai.d hysterical election cam
paigns and all mob violence, from the
little street fraeus to anarchistic assas
sination will die out, and each one can j
then enjoy in peace tin fruits of his j
labor.
A Funny Farce Comedy.
Jeriy from Kerry which comes to
the Emporium Opera House on Friday
evening, March 20th, is a hurrah
farce comedy, up-to-date and clean.
Clever specialties are the features.
The company consists of bright lively
fun makers. Good earnest work and
an evident desire to please makes for
this Company a favorable impression.
There is a continual round of merri
ment throughout the performance; new
songs; pretty music, charming girls,
funny comedians and all the pleasing
features one expects to see in a show
of this kind. The company includes,
many well known and clever artists.
The Patterns, now with the Jerry
from Kerry Company, have no super
iors in Farce Comedy. There are three
of them. All are Bkilftil musicians and
their comedy is of the cleanest and
highest type. The single, double and
triple solos and duets on tuba and
euphonium deserves special mention.
Emporium Hotel Men for Lock
Haven.
Another of the many moves has been
made on the Liquor Chess Board in
this district. Wm, McDonald, for
many years the active and successful
proprietor of the Novelty Restaurant
at Emporium, now leased by H. R.
Knight & Co., has formed a co-partner
ship with H. A. Boyd, of Clermont, al
so extensively engaged in the hotel
business in McKean and Potter coun
ties. The new firm have leased the
wet goods department of the Fallon
House, Lock Haven, including the
restaurant and billiard room. This is
the oldest stand in this section of the
stute and very popular with the travel
ling public.
For Sale at a Bargain.

Hickory Supply Closely Watched.
Automobile and carriage-manufact
urers, along with the men of the allied
vehicle industries, are giving very seri
ous consideration to the question of
the future supply of hickory timber.
This wood, which is one of the most
important of all woods, since no satis
factory substitute for it has beeu found,
plays a more important part among
the commercial timbers than many
people realize.
For automobile and carriage wheels,
where strength, toughness, and resil
j liency are essential qualities, no other
j wood has been found in this country
i that will take the place of hickory.
I Manufacturers say that no steel or wire
| spoke has yet been found that will
withstand the wear and tear of the
hichory spoke and for this reason the
welfare of the vehicle industry seems
dependent upon the conservation of
the hickory supply.
Three of the largest aecociations of
hickory users in the country, the Na
tional Wagon Manufacturers Associa
tion of America, the Carriage Builders
Association, and National Hickory As
sociation have completed a series of
co-operative tests with the United |
States Forest Service atid the trade |
considers the results highly important, j
The tests covereo a close study of the i
properties of different, woods used in i
vehicles and implements, supplement- ]
ed by mechanical tests to ascertain the |
relative strength of different woods |
and different forms of construction <
and to test the accuracy of the present l
system of grading.
In a report of the tests made by H. j
B. Holroyd, forest assistant, and If. S. j
Betts, engineer in timber tests, of the j
Forest Service, the fact is brought out j
that there is an error of over 50 per j
cent, in the grading of vehicle stock, j
due largely to the prejudice of the '
manufacturers against the use of red |
hickory. It is shown that in clear |
stock, weight for weight, the red j
hickory is as strong as the white. By i
bringing this fact to the attention of
the manufacturers, it is hoped that j
much of the hickory which was form
erly left as waste in the woods will be j
utilized by the trade and thus prolong !
the rapidly disappearing supply of
hickory.
Such practical results as are given j
in the report, which a letter to the j
Forest Service at Washington will se- I
cure for any one who wishes it, show '
conclusively the value of such studies j
in solving problems connected with j
the grading of stock, the utilization of j
new for old woods, and the conserving j
of our future supply of timber. The '
supply of good hickory in the United :
States is known to be very limited, j
The cut last year for lumber was a little j
less than 150 million feet, and it is esti- j
mated an even greater amount was I
used for automobile and carriage I
wheels, axle caps, gears, axles, poles, J
single trees and neck yokes, and it is j
figured that at the present rate of cut j
ting the supply will last about 15 years !
Reports are made from time to time i
of the discovery of suitable substitutes !
for hickory in foreign countries. The j
two woods which come nearest to hav- |
ing the quality of the hickory seem to !
be one of the eucalyptus and the crow, j
foot elm, both of Australia. Only time j
will tell whether these woods will j
prove satisfactoi'y substitutes. In the j
meanwhile, American hickory users ,
will be obliged to conserve the present 1
supply and take steps to guarantee a j
future supply by encouraging private
planting of the tree, whose wood is be
coming more precious each year.
L. G. Co Estate.
