Brief History of Program of Wednesday, August 20, 1908, will bo a rcd-lotter day for the Methodist Episcopal Church in Tionesta, this being the date selected for laying tho corner stone of the new church. The first church edifice was commenced in 1S30, but was not completed until 1835. Thirty-six years later tho present brick building was dedicated and now after it has been in use for thirty-seven years the corner stone of tho third edifice will be laid. As is well known this will be a Memorial Church built jointly by T. D. Collins, X. Kreitler and G. F. Watson. In an early day this society was very feeble and was united with a large number of other appointments, into a circuit that covered miles of the, then, sparcely settled country. One of the fust ordained Methodist ministers to visit Tionesta, was Rev. It. R. Robbcrts, who was ufterward elected a bishop. In 1S00 he was appointed by tho Baltimore Conference to Eric Circuit, this charge covered so largo a territory that it required six weeks to go around it preaching once each day and twice on Sunday, ho traveled up the Allegheny river as far as the State line and undoubtedly preached at the Valentino house at Jamieson Flats. The pastors of the Eric Circuit continued to visit this locality until 1821, a class having been formed near Stewarts Run as early as 1S04. In 1821 Tionesta was one of the appointments of French Crock Circuit, and the same year, a log church was built on t lie farm of James Dawson near Stewarts Run. In 1S29 when the lot, on which the present church stands, was purchased, the pastors of French Creek Circuit were Hiram Kinsley and William P. Babeock. Since then the following have been appointed as pastors of the church, some of whom, however, only preached hero oc casionally, as there was a time when the first church was in such a dilapi dated condition that it could not be used for service: LIST OF PASTORS FROM 1S30 TO 190S. 1830 Wm.

Utica, Aug. 18. The civic festivitie: In connection with the notification o! Utica'8 honored citizen, Congressniar James S. Sherman, of his nomination for vice president began at 7 thii morning with a salute of 19 guns. A' 11 o'clock the notification committee escorted by the Conkllng Uncondi tlonals. a noted marching club, pro ceeded behind a massed band of IK pieces to the home of Mr. Sherman or Genesee street. From a platform on the Rhermat grounds Senator Julius C.

Speeches were also made by Sec retary of State Root, Mayor Wheeler Charles S. Symonds, chairman of th citizens' reception committee, anc President JI. W. Stryker of Hamiltor college. These and invited guests, in eluding Chairman Hitchcock, were en tertained at luncheon following th ceremonies. Many Outdoor Attractions. The day had been largely made s holiday and an attractive program ol games and races had been arranged for the afternoon, including a halloor ascension and music in the parks bj four bands from Utica, Rochester Troy and Albany. At 6 o'clock Jlr. Sherman will giv a dinner to the notification commute and invited guests at the Yahnun dasls club house. At 7:30 band con certs, an electrical display, fancy dril by the Conkllng Unconditional ant fireworks will add to the scenes o gaiety. Mr. Sherman's Speech. Senator Burrows and Gentlemen o the Notification Committee: Your chairman has notified me o my nomination by the Republican na tional convention held in Chicago it June as the party's candidate for vlct president. As I chanced to be li Chicago In June I had an Inkling o the convention's action, ,whlch wai confirmed by a warm hearted recep tlon tendered me by my neighbors ot the occasion of my homecoming oi July 2. This official notification, however, li welcome, and the nomination you ten der me la accepted accept 3d with i gratitude commensurate with th great honor conferred; accepted wltl a full appreciation of the obligation) which accompany that honor, an honoi greater because my nnnio Is linkec with that or William II. Taft, whom : respect and esteem highly nnd whi approaches the high office of president exceptionally well equipped to dls charge the duties and bear the variec and weighty responsibilities of that exalted position. In Full Accord With the Platform. My acceptance could not be mad with honor unless I were in full ac cord with the declaration of principle) adopted by the convent Ion. Not onl) am I in full and complete accord wltl: my party'u platform, but I indorse every word of the statement made b Mr. Taft In his address of acceptance when notified of his nomination as the Republican candidate for president. That speech fully and comprehen slvely discusses the Issues of thll campaign as presented by the plat forms of the two great parties, so that SHERMAN IS NOT 0 4-- r i a - . KREITLER. it is appropriate that my statement should be short. Those not convinced by the presentation of Jlr. Taft 1 could not hope to persuade. It is however, in conformity with custoir that I refer at least briefly to some ol the important Issues of the campaign First, then, let me say that I am s protectionist. 1 am sufficiently prac tlcal to value the utility of a fact high er than the beauty of a theory, and 1 am a protectionist because experience has demonstrated that the appllcatlor of that principle has lifted us as a na tion to a plane of prosperity abovt iinat occupied by any other people. Early Revision of Tariff Schedules. I especially commend that plank ol our platform which promises an earlj revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled in an adjust nient based in every particular upor, the broad principles of protection foi all American interests, alike for labor for capital, for producers and consum ers. The Dingley bill when enacted was well adapted to the then existing conditions. The developments of In dustrial prosperity in a decade, which In volume and degree have surpassed our most roseate expectations, have sc altered conditions that In certain de tails of schedules they no longer Ir every particular mete out justice tc all. In this readjustment the principle of protection must and will govern. The Republican party believes In th equality of all men before the law; be lieves in granting labor's every re quest that does not seek to accord rights to one man denied to nnother Fair minded labor asks no more, nc less, and approves the record of the Republican patty because of thai party's acts. I have helped to make my party's record In the ennrtnient of tli eleht nour law, the employers' liability act, the statutes to minimize the hazard of railroad employes, the child labor law for the District of Columbia and other enactments designed especially to im prove the conditions of labor. I can not hope to better state my position on Injunctions than by a specific ln dorsemont of Jlr. Tail's Cincinnati declaration on that subject. That In dorsement I make. As a nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be ad vanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civili zation; their prosperity Is our prosper ity; their debasement would be our misfortune. The Republican party, therefore, will offer every encourage ment to the thrift, Industry and Intelli gence that will better their prospect of higher attainment. Protection of American Interests. I believe In the maintenance of such an army, the upbuilding of such a navy as will be the guarantee of the protection of American citizens and American Interests everywhere, and an omen of peace; that at every ex posed point we may be so fortified that no power on earth may be tempt ed to molest li!. lljelleve In the res toration of the . American merchant marine aud In rendering whatever financial aid may be necessary to ac complish this purpose. I approve the movement for the con serva Ion of our natural resources, the fostering of friendly foreign relations, the enforcement of our civil service law and the enactment of such stat utes as will more securely and more effectively preserve the public health. Our pla form, as It should do, pledges adherence to the policies of President Roosevelt; promises to con tinue the work Inaugurated during his administration, to Insure to persons and property every proper safeguard, and all necessary strengthening of ad ministrative methods will be provided to furnish efficient Inspection and su pervision and prompt righting of every Injustice, discrimination and wrong. I have not touched upon every plank of our splendid platform, but I reiter ate my full and unqualified approval ot Its every promise. ' ',k:: '. ' -. - ff 'Jr. V'-iV. f';-'. i A yt . I f . V, . f ' ' V ''' - - . i V ' ;. f ''; ; ' i :V i " . - GEORGE F. The work that has been given the Republican party to do has been of Im mense importance. Much of that work has been fully accomplished; some has yet to be completed. Republican dec larations once In our platform and no longer there nre omitted because they have become accomplished facts. On the other hand, Democratic declara tions have been abandoned because the voters have pronounced them to be unwise and unsafe and unsulted to our times and our country. Mr. Bryan's Icguc Is No Issue. "Shall the people rule?" Is declared by the Democratic platform and candi date to bo "the overshadowing Issue now under discussion." It is no Issue. Surely the people shall rule; surely the people have ruled; surely the people do rule. No party rule3. The party, commissioned by the people, Is simply the Instrument to execute the people's will, and from that party which does not obey their expressed will or which lacks the wis dom to lead successfully the people will withdraw their commission. For half a century, with but two ex ceptions, the people have commission ed the Republican party to administer the national government commis sioned it because Its declared princi ples appealed to their best judgment, commissioned It because the common sense of the American people scented danger In Democratic policies. O irs always has been, always must be a government of the people. That party will after .March 4 next execute old laws and enact new ones as In No vember It is commissioned by the peo ple to do. That commission will be from an uiitrammeled American elec torate. Shame on the party which, shame on the cundidato who, insults American people by suggestion or declaration that a majority of its elec torate is venal. The American voter, with rare exception, in casting his bal lot Is guided by his best judgment, by his desire to conserve his own and tho public weal. The overshadowing Issue of the campaign really is: Shall the adminis tration of President Roosevelt be ap proved? Shall a party of demonstrat ed capacity In administrative affairs be continued in power? Shall the reins of government be placed In ex perienced bauds, or do the people pre fer to trust their destinies to an ag gregation of experimental malcontents and theorists, whose only claim to a history Is a party name they pilfered? With a record of four decades of wine legislation, twoscore years of faithful administration, offering Its ful filled pledge as a guaranty of Its promises for the future, the Repub lican party nppenls to the people anil, with full confidence In their wisdom and patriotism, nualis the rendition of tho November verdict.

Dead by Insurance Figuring Alleged American-Chinese Alliance Death of Ira D. Sankey Great Britain Will Not Intervene Mr. Bailey Cannot Accept Withdrew Bryan Resolution Two deaths on Sunday at Spring field, 111., from injuries suffered in pre tious mob lights, making five deaths One to Mice riots, the attempted cut ling of the lire alarm wires, the ex oneration of Private J. U. Klein, Co. A. I'lisi Illinois Infantry, by a court of Inquiry for the killing of Earl Nel son at Kaukakco Saturday, and tho pursuit of a mob by guardsmen, were th? chief developments In the race war in Springfield. The attempt to cut the fire and tele phone w ires leading Into the City hall was not successful. A policeman saw three men on top of an outbuilding trying to reach the lines overhead. An alarm brought a wagon load of sol diers aud the wire cutters fled, loav lug Iheir nippers behind. Scores of negroes have left Spring field, either on foot or by trolley cars, (he latter class tiding as far as their means permitted aud then striking across country. These tramping par ties, aimless and penniless, are the Borneo of some complaint from the communities through which they pass. .Most of the refugees are advanced in years. The younger negroes, who might be expected to add fuel to the Kinouidci ing Haines by rash acts, thus far have generally refused to become wards of the state. With the arrival of the Second and the Seventh Infantry regiments, I. N. f!., nnd two squadrons of the First, cavalry, all from Chicago, the entire National Cnaid of Illinois, with the exception of the Sixth Infantry and (lie Kighlh infantry (colored), Is on duty In Springfield. In all 4,200 guardsmen are in the city. V Governor Deneen said that ho want ed l'i protect the city so that the flee ing negroes could return In safety. "We can nrotcct them here, and we can't when they scatter about tho country," said the governor. "If they will come back we will give them food and shelter In government tents." Is Dead by Insurance Figuring. It Is a shock for one to be told he Is dead, as Is proved in tho caso of Gen eral Daniel II. Kuckei, a retired army olhYer. the father of Jlrs. Phil Sheri dan. At the ago of !)ti, still enjoying more health and vigor than most men half his age, the distinguished general has been oll'uially informed by & life Insurance company that ho is dead. The policy which ho has for years been currying In the company has been eaivolled and the Insurance has been intld. The Insurance company, liko other Amiicnn concerns of tho kind, bases Its operations upon mortality tables. Under tills system all lives are sup poed to have ended before the age of 91 s reached. The company there fore .vro:e General Itucker that, hav ing reached that age, "you are sup posed to have died and your policy will be ueltled just as though it had fail"!! diie by reason of your demise." GcimiuI Mucker attributes his long evity to "the grace of God and a good coo-Utiition." Until he reached tho seventies he did not object to a little tobaccj now and then, neither was ho a teetotaler. His mother lived to be RO, but ills fa'her died younger, and his grandfather died when compara tively young. General Itucker was born In New Jersey, April 2S, 1312. nnd entered the army In 1S37, being retlr.-'d In Js with rank of brigadier and brevet major general. Ho made a distinguished record during the civil war.
