The new military company's armory
has bfen put in the best ofconditiou, and
we doubt If a finer drill hall in all re
spects can be fouud in the State. Incan
descent lights have been placed and the
lar buildinir is splendidly lighted. The
drill was quite largely attended by out-of-town
members last Saturday night. The
company will be a success, whether the
boys ever haye a chance to tight the
Spaniards or not.
The National Oil Co. having purch
ased the Tattorson lease on Cropp hill,

time, Wolcott A Son have begun a new
well on the Vockroth place, in that same
vicinity. Grove Bres. have begun drill
ing on tho deep well on the Collins terri
tory, near Fox creek, Green township.
The well will be sunk 3,000 feot or more
If oil in paying quantities is not found at
a less depth.

rresbjterlaa General Assembly.
Winona, Ind.. May 21. The 110th
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church met at Wiaena Lake Assemby
grounds on Thursday, the 19th. The ele
ments seemed to have been turned loose
that morning and rain poured down in
torrents. Everybody was wet, but good
naturedly said nothing about it. The
westerners have got so used to wet
weather this spring that they do not
mind anything short of a cyclone. The
gravel walks all through the grounds
took up the water freely and made travel
there less disagreeable than it otherwise
light have been. -
Winona is the Chautauqua of tbe mid-
del west and is under Presbyterian con
trol. The summer assemblies are simi
lar to those at Northfiold, Mass., and are
under the direction of Rev. J. Wilbur
Chapman of evangelistic fame.
The auditorium is a commodius and
well ventilated structure with a seating
capacity of about 2500. It is octagonal
in form and well adapted for such a meet
ing ai this. The decorations for the as
sembly's session are decidedly patriotic,
auittd to the times through which we are
now passine. From the center hangs a
large ball covered with the national col
ers and stretchine from this to the dif
ferent angles are strips of bunting. All
around the building flags are hung.
At the left of the platform in large fig
ures we read "1G48" and on the right
'1898," and over the platform, "110th
General Assembly." A vase of huge
red roses was all the flowers in sight, al
though last night the platform was filled
with flowers, palms, etc.. beautifully ar
ranged.
The commissioners are seated by Syn
ods ani Presbytorles. Pennsylvania is
well to the front among tho Synods, and
Clarion among the Presbyteries, so we
have an opportunity to catch all that goes
on. The assembly convened at 11 a. m
Thursday, with a Bermou by the retiring
moderator, Rev. Soldon Jackson, D. D.,
L. L. D. Dr. Jackson has a reputation
as tbe great Home Missionary, especially
aa connected with Alaska. His discourse
was largely historical and was well re
oeived. At 3 p. ro the first regular busi
ness session was held, when tho roll of
delegates was made out. These repre
sent a church membership of nearly a
million scattered in all parts of the,wrld.
divided into 32 Synods and 228 Presby
teries. About 600 delegates are present
Many of these are personal college and
seminary friends whom I have not seen
since loaving school. Several returned
missionaries are here and when they
speak are earnestly listened to.
After the roll call came the election or
moderator for the ensuing year. Two
names only were presented and doubt
less both felt eood during the time their
friends were rehearsing their good quali
ties, abilities and fitness, from the plat
form. I doubt if either knew before lust
how crcat a .d cood they were. The
election resultod in the choice of Dr,
Wallace Radcliffo of AVashlngten, D. C,
over Dr. H. C. McCook of Philadelphia,
Both of these are W.AJ.College men so I
had not much choice in the matter.
Governor Mount, of Indiana, an Elder
iu tho Presbyterian church, was appoint
ed vice-moderator. Tho Governor deliV'
ered the address of welcome which was a
very happy affair. He is a very enthusi
astlo man and speke in a way to catch the
audience both in civil and ecclesiastio af
fairs. He said Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois had furnished all the Presidents of
the U. S., except one, for the last 39 years,
and most of the vice president.
The gavel presented by Dr. Lee of Cin
cinnati was of Enellsh oak inlaid with a
piece of granite from Westminister Ab
be7. On Thursday evening the Lord's
supper was celebrated.
On Friday committees were appointed
and reports on special subjects read and
referred to special times. A meeting in
tho interest of Sabbath school work was
hold on Friday evening was large and
enthusiastic. So far the greatest speech
delivered was by Dr. Agnew of Phila
delphia, secretary of the Board of Minis
terial Relief on the needs and work of
this board.
At 2 p. m. to-day there will be a patrl
otic service, which promises to be a large
and enthusiastic meeting, judging from
applause which the slightest reference to
our present conflict arouses.
Next week I may be able to give you
omething more, when the Assombly
will have gotten down to solid business,
J. V. McAninch
$4,000 Extra For Forest County.
Financial Clerk Glenn of the Depart
ment of Peblio Instruction, has given
out bis estimate of tbe amount of State
appropriation each couuty will receive
under the new division, which goes into
effect tbe first of Juue. According to his
estimate the schools of Forest county will
receive an increase of more than $4,000
over the amount received the past year.
This is one law in particular that the peo
ple of tbe country districts should tuanK
the members or me last legislature lor
passing. There aro liKeiy otners, dui
this is one of the best. Marienville Ex
press.
This gives Forest county a little more
than one-half more moiuy than it has
gotten in the past. In fact, we are not
sure but our county gets a larger per
centage of increase than any other in tbe
State, and when it is understood that this
piece of law and justice was placed upon
the statute books against the combined
efforts of the larger cities, the country
members do deserve much credit for their
excellent work in this diroction. And
this is only one of the many good acts
passed at tho last session, which will be
couio apparent as time goes by. The
morcantile license tax bill, which tbe
Governor vetoed, was another of tho ex
cellent and omminently fair measures,
but it was doomod when tho great mer
cantile kings threatened to take thoir ad
vertising from tho city dailies if they
failed to turn their batteries on tho now
enactment.
S. S. Convention.
Tho Forest county Sabbath School Con
venlion will meet iu tho M. E. church of
Marienville, June 6, and 7. Each S. S.
in tho county is urged to send a full rep
resentation. A committee will be at the
church by eleven o'clock, June 6, to as-
sitrn dcloirates and visitors to placos of
entertainment. Also a committee will
te at tho dopot. Members of committee
will have on white ribbons, and delegates
and visitors are requested to make them-
elvpi known.

J. C. Coijer Instantly Killed.
J. C. Confer, one of Marienville's best
known and popular citizens, was instant
ly killed by a falling tree on Friday lust.
Mr. Confer had taken a contract for the
erection of a shingle mill near Highland,
in Elk county, and it was while assisting
in Rlearins off a spot of wooded land for
this purpose that the accident happened.
Two others were at work with him, and
as they were busily engaged a fair sized
tree foil out of root, apparently without
cause, there being no sign of wind at the
time -striking Mr. Confer on the back of
the head, crushing his skull and causing
Instant death. Both the other men were
knocked down, but neither badly injured.
The remains were conveyed to bis
home in Marienville, and the interment
was hold on Monday. This accident is
one of a peculiarly sad and distressing
nature, the unfortunate man leaving a
family of wife aud seven small children,
to whom tho shock is a terrible one in
deed.
Mr. Confer was aged about 38 years.
The funeral took place at Marionville
on Monday and was attended by an im
mense concourse of sympathizing friends.

A Grand Army General Order.
With the hostilities with Spain comes a
change in the Grand Army memorial
service. A goneral order has been issued
advising posts to omit those sentences ia
the clianlain'a prayer which speak of
peace as prevailing instead of war, and
which rejoicos that the sound of the can
non end tho gleam of the boyonet and the
saber are of the past.
Since its organization the Grand Army
of tho Republic has known no days but
days of peace, says the Pittsburg Times
and tho memorial services are prepared
keoping in mind a sorrow for the dead
and the joy that peace baa smiled npon
tbe country. This year for tbe first time
since the eocioty was organized condi
tions are different. Another 100,000 men
havo become possible candidates for
membership in the ranks of the honored
body, and war has added to the number
of graves that will call for tlie kindly of-
ticos of the grizzled veterans. W ar, whose
terrible travail brought forth the Grand
Arm v. is In labor attain. Instead of the
requiom, and a prayer for the continua
tion of peaco, the cannon thunders again
and tho saber fhislie an in tin days cf the
civil war. Memorial day this year will
be different from any ever known in the
country. This time it will come homo to
the hearts of more of tho living to tbe
yonngor generation. The Grand Army
of to-day is the army of which 35 years
agn included the boys of our country Just
as the army that is massing from all sec
tiohs im-luda them now. It is the arany
into which thoy will be mustored later,
and Memorial day aud the Graud Army
this voar will be far more impressive
than we have been tbe habit of regarding
ef late. The day is prophotic. The
Grand Armv tells the past. With the
run non waking the nation thoy meet
tho past and future and It is the presei-t,
