Two trust companies, each capital ized at $l'.!.r,000, wore organized in Clar ion within the past low days. They are styled respectively, The Clarion Trust Co., and The Citizens Trust Co. Of the latter eompany Thomas Arnold of Clar ion Is president, and Hon. C. W. Amsler of Marienville is vice president. Sunday night was another of those fr tsty fellows, of which this winter has been so proline, and coming unexpected ly caught many of our people unpre pared, the consequence being that there was business next morning for the plumber, who found several bursted water pipes.

Rachel, wile of Frederick Brook houser, died at her home at East Hick ory, about six o'clock yesterday morn ing, after an illness of several weeks, of tubercular trouble. Sbe was aged about 19 years, and was a daughter ol Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Sollinger of Hickory. Her marriage to Mr. Brookbouser, formerly of this place, took place about eight months ago. Besides her husband she Is survived by her parents, three brothers and four sisters. A case of considerable concern to Maccabeos was decided by the New York court of appeals last week by which Ben jamin C. Beach, ofDelevan, receives fl,- 000 on his policy for disability. The case was hard foueht through the courts by Beach's a' torney, George E. Spring, of Springville, In 1887 Beach had a policy in the Maccabees which provided that in case of his permanent "or" total disabili ty he was to receive (1,000 from the order During that year he injured his right arm so that he has since been unable to use it. The order refused to pay bis claim. Later the order changed its by laws bo that the policies issued after that would pay only in case of permanent "and" total disability. It was a matter of but one word, yet the case was decided in Beach's favor on that word. This last tiindlng of the court of appeals affirms the findings of the lower courts which were all favorable to Beach. Mrs. Kate Soffol, of Blddle Brothers notoriety, who has been billed to play through this section In "A Daring Wo man," Is meeting with considerable op position. The W. C. T. U. and the min isters of Cnnnellsville have filed a vigor ous protest, and those of Charleroi have followed suit. While the motive which inspires this opposition is undoubtedly a good one, the wisdom of this method of procedure is open to question. The mis directed efforts of the ladies and gentle men of the cloth are liable to have an ef fort exactly the opposition of that intended,-they may assist materially in boom ing the play instead of suppressing it. Mis. Soffel is by no means the first wo man who has tried to make money by going on tlie stage, with nothing more than the notoriety acquired from a ques tionable career to recommend her. If she has the nerve to exhibit herself, alter all that has been said and written about her, we lail to see why these good people should insist on advertising ber by their opposition. It Is doubtful if Mrs. Lang try would have scored the success she did had it not been for the Prince of Wales and Freddie Oebhardt accessories, and nobody would. have gone across the street to see Sullivan, Corhett, Fitzsim inons or Jeffries in their theatrical stunts had It not been for the notoriety they se cured as prize figlitois. There is no law compelling anybody to attend Mrs. So f fel's show, but if sbe is determined to parade herself before the public the best thing to do is to just lot her alone. Oil City Blizzard.

Contrary to all predictions, expectations and fears, the great body of ice in the ma jestic old Allegheny river moved out about as quietly and orderly as it was ever known to do in this section. Short ly before noon of last Friday the move ment began here, and in the course of a few hours the river was comparatively free of ice. Tionesta creek broke up first and for a short time there appeared to be trouble brewing, but the ice cut its way through at the foot of Hunter island and passed on without further difficulty. Vp at L. Agnew's dam, things were shaken up some, one of tho piers being taken down. No other damage worth mention ing was suvtained there. Tbo Ice-breaker on the east end of tho creek bridge was torn oil'. Along Big Coon creek there was some shaking up near the head of the stieam, but no treat damagn was doue. Two bridges, ono belonging to Clarion county, and one owned by the Golinza lumber firm, were taken. Mr. Gaston has quite a stock of logs piled near the mouth of this stream, some of which were crowded back a considerable distance, but none were carried away, and bis damege will amount to flO or $."0 in getting the stuff bank in order. Collins, Kreitler t Co., at Nebraska, lost one of their flat boats, which came down aud lodged on tbo creek bridge, almost totally wrecked. Our Mayburg correspondent gives a good account of the breakup In that vi cinity. On the lower river things were differ ent. At Pittsburg and vicinity much loss of property was sustained in boats, barges, steamboats and other river craft. It is estimated that a million dollars will not cover the losses. Some of the Clarion river lumbermen have lost heavily in boats aud timber which had been taken down last fall and held up at Logan's Eddy on account of the Government work which is going on there. fflayburg.

Well, it's here, and has left a mark that will stay until the middle of next summer. The Ice went out Friday morning bolow Buck Mills, and started from Mayburg last night, gorged in Buck Mill pond and backed up to above the bridge at May burg, whore the whole creek struck across the flats and pretty well cleaned thorn out of steam boxes, pipe lines, etc. There were a number of cars on the switch. The water and ice ran one of them 100 rods down the main line where it stopped. The water and ice took out the bayou bridge and the bayou railroad bridge at Mayburg. That broke the gas line to Henry Dun's pump station. Where be lives they had not provid ed any wood, so the report came over the phone from him, "One inch of water on the parlor floor; no fire. One foot of water on the Moor; no gas." Then the phone lines went down. This morning he said that they ware perfectly happy all night but a little cold. The Cook lease boys and some of the mill boys got a temporary bridge across, soon fixed tha gas line, and Henry was happy again. The S. A T. R. R.

A Good Woman Passes Away. Mrs. J. W. Morrow received a telegram last Thursday announcing the death of her step-mother, Mrs. LucetU Thompson Uncaplior, which occurred at her late residence near North Washington, West moreland county, Jan. 20, 1002. Mrs. Uncapher spent tbo summer and fall of 1804 with her daughter's family In Tionesta, and is pleasantly remember d by many of our citizens. She was a daughter of Alexander and Rosanna Mac Leod Thompson, and was born Noy. 8, 1820, In the old homestead in which she died, aud which has been tbo scene of the Joys and sorrows of the Thompson family for more than a century. She was a lady of gentle birth and came of an ancient and honorable family, which has produced several distinguished ser vants both of church and State, in Scot land and America. In every respect she was a worthy representative of those peoplo of whom a historian has said : "No bolter1 Immigration ever reached our shores. By its enthronement of God and His word above all human authority ; by Its aggressiveness and courage as im pelled by His spirit to light for the truth and righteousness, it contributed largely to the form and spirit ef our institutions, and to our national character." Her early education did not partake of the abun dant opportunity that the present day offers. yet beiuu born of generations of scholars, she inherited their disposition toward learning, and, although the academy was the highest institution of learning she attended, yet she became a woman of more iban ordi nary culture and ability. No doubt much of this was due to the influence of of ber pastor of many years, the Rev David Kirkpatrick, D. D., a first honor man of the University ol Glasgow, whose life was unselfishly rendered In bringing the youth and maiden of his day to a high degree of learning and piety, and who was himself rewarded in seeing two of bis pupils ex-Govs, Pollock and Cur tin receive the highest gift the old Key stone State has to offer, and bis son, the Hon, John Kirkpatiick, of Pittsburg, be come a well-known and trusted jurist of Pennsylvania, besides many others of his pupils who became equally prominent in eciesiastical affairs. But, while Mrs. Unca pher possessed many qualities and favors which cause the natural heart of man to be proud, yet her crowniug vir tue was the child-like simplicity with which she received aud exemplified the gospel of Christ in its clearest light aud purity. Her finer qualities of heart and mind and the humble spirit which beau tified ber life caused her to become a queen among women an rxample for all ages. On Oct. 7, 1808, she became the wife of Philip Uncapher, a well-known aud highly respected citizen of Indiat a coun ty, with whom sbe lived most happily till his death, which occurred in March, 1880. Her relationship to her husband's family of grown-up sons anJ daughters was ever the most tender and loving aud which was heartily reciprocated by them; among whom were Mrs. Morrow, of Tio nesta, aud Mrs. Carroll, of Pleasantville. In early years, Mrs. Uncapher united with the Poke Run Ptesbylerian church and at the time of ber death was one of its oldest members. Still They Come. There's no telling where this chicken business will end. Here's a story that's eutirely new, and coming from a friend, "whose word is as good as a bond," we don't question the accuracy of the talo for a moment, and hold ourselves iu readiness to give space to any ono who has a better one, but there must be no doparluro from the absolute truth : Noticeing in your paper an account of two remarkable old hens remiuded me of an iucldeut taking place while I was in Nichols county, West Va., last sum mer. Mr. H. M. Curll, of tbo firm of Curll A Evens Lumber Co., at Holcomb, West Va., owned a very largo dog who was very fond of live chicken for break fast. Every morning, and as Mr. Curll kept a large flock of chickens, "Nero" would go out and help himself. One morning on his usual trip for breakfast Nero happened to get hold of a half grown rooster whose feathers were some what pointed, aud swallowed him whole, then started towards the house. But the rooster did not fit well iu Nero,s stom ach, and be threw him up, whereupon the rooster scampered away a few yards and crowed mcst lustily. Now, this story is true, and I can prove it by Jim Lytle and Carl Ackerson. Yours truly, J. W. Baxtkk. Gil oyle, Pa., Jan. 21, 1004. C'niiKrnt ithit low. Mr. John II.

We began using Chamber lain's Cough Remedy in 18S7,and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without it iu the house since that. We have live chil dren and have given it to all ot them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it.
