"Has a man a right to spit?" asks an
exchange, and then it proceeds to answer
Ibusly: "You bet be has, and a right to

right to work, also a right to vote and pay
taxes, and to find fault with everybody
and everything be don't like. Man has a

According to a report issued by the
geological survey, the total output of
crude petroleum in the United States in
1904 was 117,003,421 barrels. The total
value of all the petroleum marketed in
the United Slates In 1004 was 9101,170,400.
The gain over the production of 1003 was
10,602,084 barrels in quantity and $0,470,
416 In value. For the first time the quan
tity of oil produced west of the Missis

Commenting upon the Governor's
call for an extra session of tho legislature
the Blizzard says; "The reform legisla
tion asked for now was needed just as
badly when the Legislature was last in
session. Had our honorablo but at all
times eccentric Governor devoted a little
more attention to the matters enumerated
In his call, and a little less to venting his
spleen against the newspapers, something
might have been accomplished. The
gang he has called together is the same
one that so persistently disregarded the
people's interests at the last session.
They are the name chaps who ever stood
ready to serve the bosses. To expect
Very much from them is hardly war
ranted. Should thoy enact any whole

There was woe aud wailing In town
yesterday morning when the donizens
awoke to find the gas bad gone, or nearly
so, with the thermometer registering
only a few degrees above the zero mark.
Sounds of clashing boxes and splinter
ing wood were heard on all sides and in
all directions, and no doubt other sounds
blue and sulphuric could have been
heard bad one betin minded to listen for
them between chattering teeth and shak
ing bones. And all because the frost bad
pulled the main pipe apart out along the
line about five miles from town, stopping
the flow of the precious fluid almost com
pletely. Both school and court were
frozen out and bad to adjouru for the
forenoon. The lino was repaired by two
o'clock and all was again Berone. Beats
all, though, what a commotion such a
misshap will raise in a community, and
it's a fine thing they don't come often.

RECENT DEATHS.
BIQUINS.
George II. Hlggins, one of Erb's most
prominent attorneys, and whose serious
illness was noted in these columns, died
at bis borne at 7:30 a.m. Sunday. Mr. Hlg
gins was well and favorably known to
the people of Forest county, who retu rned
a majority for him in bis memorable
campaign for President Judge of this ju
dicial district in 1800, when be was a citi
zen of Warren. Not long aftor that be
moved to Erie where be rapidly built np
a lucrative law practice. Ills disease
was cancer, from which be endured great
suffering before death relieved bim. Mr,
Hlggins was born in Spartansburg,
Crawford county, Aug. 5, 1852. He is
survived by bis widow and ono son,
Weld. He learned the stonemason trade
and followed it for a number of years,
but ho was ambitious to rise and look np
the study of law which he persistently
followed until admitted to the bar of
Warren county, In 1880. He was full of
energy, a bard worker, an honest man
and a true friend. Many will grieve to
loarn of bis demise.
M'NAMARA.
John C, McNainara, station agent for
the P. R. R. at Tionesta, died at bis home
here on Friday evening, Nov. 17, 1905, at
7:30 o'clock, after an illness, from a com
plication of- stomach and heart trouble,
extending over several months. For
nearly two months past he bad been un
able to attend to his duties as agent here
and had asked for an indefinite leave of
absence, hoping that rest and out-door
exercise might restore his health. Two
years ago, on the first of October, Mr.
McNainara was transferred from Red
UouBe, N. Y., to the station at Tionesta,
taking the place of J. W. McCroa, who
bad resigned, and soon after moved his
family here. During his residence in
Tlonesta be bad gained the high esteem
of all with whom he came in contact, and
as au agent ot the railroad company, at
best a very trying position, be made a
boat of friends by bis pleasing, patient
and obliging manners. He was aged 42
years and had been In the employ of the
Pennsylvania company for the past 17
years.
The deceased, who was the son of the
late James and Bridget McNainara, was
born iu Baltimore, Md., December 27,
1863. When a young man he went to
Silver Creek, N. Y and was shortly
afterward employed as a telegraph opera
tor, bis first work being at Mayville, N.
Y. He worked for the Northern Cen
tral, the Lake Shore and W. N. Y. A P.
railroads. For fourteen years prior to
coming to Tlonesta be was passenger
agent of the W. N. Y. A P., later the P.
R. R,, at Red House, N. Y., and for a
short time was located at Salamanca. He
was married September 12, 1894, to Miss
Catherine McCabe, of Campbell, N. Y.,
who with three sons, Walter, Francis
and John, survive him. One sister, Mrs.
Mary Spencer, of Silver Creek, also sur
vives bim. He was a member of the
Catholic church and a member of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers and of
the Knights of the Maccabees.
The body was taken to Campbell, N.
Y. Saturday evening, whore the funeral
services were held Monday morning in
the Catholio church, Rev, Father Griffin
officiating. Interment at Bjtb, N. Y.
STOW.
Hamilton Hobart Stow, whose doath
was announced by the Toledo, Ohio, pa
pers, and occurred on Tuesday, Novem
ber 21st, was well aud favorably known
by the older inhabitants of Forest coun'y.
He was born in Olean, N, Y., on June 25,
1837, and consequently was in the 69th
year of his ago. His father, Hamilton
Slow and family, came to Newtown
Mills, In Kingsley township, when Ho
bart was a youth. Subsequently bis
father built the bouse known as "the
Slow bouse," now occupied by Hon. J.
II. Robertson, moving bis family to Tio
nesta on account of educational facilities
and convenience of schools, and I believe
Hobart attended for a lime the old Water
ford Academy, an Institution then in high
repute. His mother, Sarah (Munsell)
Stow, was a lady of good educational ac
quirements, while his father was a man
of extended business capacity, a friend of
the people, and foremost in every good
work. The Presbytorian church at Tlo
nesta was largely built by bim and the
May and H Hands families. Hobartspent
hs youth at Tionesta, attended the schools
here and went away to an academy. Im
proving and making the best out of his
opportunities, he was well equipped to
assist his father in his great lumber busi
ness and other avocations of life. Three
of his brothers preceded him to the tomb,
Wallace W., who died when a young man,
James Munsell Stow, aud bis brother
Capt, George Stow, who died a hero's
death at Spottsylvania Court House in
1863. Our subject carried on a large lum
ber business up to about 1869 at "Stow
town," now called Endeayor on Hickory
Creek. I cannot do better than to quote
here from the Toledo Times: "Mr. Stow
bad been in ill health for nearly four
years. Me Is survived by his wile and
two daughters, Mrs. J. R. Shoaf, of New
York, and Mrs. II. F. Crandall, of Lima,
Ohio, Two sisters and a brother also
survive him, Mrs. A. E. Stow, of Berke
ley, Cal., Mrs. Henry Garlick, of Cin
cinnati, O., and Edgar D. Stow, of Phila
delphia, Pa." Continuing, the account
says: "H. H. Stow was one of Toledo's
progressive citizens. In 1872 be was in
terested with his father in the lumber
business in Cincinnati. In 1879 the oil
business fascinated him and be went to
Bradford, Pa., where he became interest
ed in oil, and for ten years successfully
in that vicinity. In 1889 lie came to the
oil fields near Toledo where he lias since
remained and was one Of the beat known
uien of tho oil regiou of Wood and San
dusky countios."
Such is the formal statement of a good
life written by a comparative stranger.
Short though it is, it covers a volume to
those who know him better. When here
he was one of the best known and de
servedly popular and genorally boloyed
men of the oil regions. His frankness,
gonoroslty and opcn-lieartedness wore
proverbial. Among business men ho was
esteemed for his honesty and ability. The
poor had a friend in him. His social
qualities, cordial manner, kindly word,
were qualities that conspired to encircle
him with a largo and varied circlo tf
friends. The esteem In which he was
held by the people when here is evi
denced by the great number of people
whom he had berriondod uaming their
children for bim because they considered
his an honest name. The wife, who with
bis two daughters survive bim, and to
whom this. bereavement is most direct,
lived with bim over 40 years. A higher
power must console them in their afllio
tlon, while it will be a consolation to
them to know that numerous personal
friends of the deceased in all parts of the
country mourn the loss of a good friend.
Since moving to Oblo, three members of
his family have died, two sons preceding
Mr. Stow to the grave. The funeral was
bold at the residence in Toledo, Friday
afternoon, aud the Interment at Wood
lawn cemetery was private. s. D, I,
