THF FOREST REPUBLICAN. J. . WCNK, IDITOS PSOPSKTON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1909 Conokkhs on Monday unanimously voted an appropriation of $800,000 for the earthquake sufferers of Italy. Mr. Bryan says the Demooratio party la very much alive. Has be been apply ing the looking-glass tost to see if It still broathes? TnK postal savings bank is established in the Philippines and is reported to be growing favorably. Forty per cent of the depositors are Filipiuos, ami this is tbeir first experience with hank facilities. Mr. Knox has been approved as cabi net limber by McKinley, Roosevelt and TaTt, and by his state for senator, and eaob time the office sought him without effort on bis part. The country is fortu nate to have a supply of men of this stamp, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Thkrk is nothing slow about the man ner in which our countrymen are re sponding to the distress call from stricken Italy, truthfully says the Oil City Blia zard. The outpouring of contributions Is fully as spontaneous as at the time of the California earthquake, which dcmon strates that wben it comes to rendering assistance to suffering humanity all na tions look alike to our humanitarians. Such open-handed charity should dis courage the organization of I! lack Hand societies. At the legislative caucus Monday even ing, preceding the organization of the legislature yesterday Senator Boies Pen rose was nominated lo Bucceed himself in the Unitrd States Senate by practically a unanimous vole, there being but 25 votes In opposition, -'3 o these going to State Treasurer John O. Sheatz. Senator Pen rose's election will take place on the 19th of this month wben the Senate and House vote ointly on the question. John F. Cox was elected speaker of the House. After listening to the reading of Gov. Stuart's message the legislature took a recess of two weeks to allow the speaker time to select the standing committees. .Mr. Oliver's Candidacy for United States Senator. Pittsburoh, Pa., Dec 29. The Hon. John W. Crawford, of the Forty-fifth dis trict, senior member of the state senate ol Pennsylvania and chairman of the Alle gheny county legislative delegation, Is Inking a keeu Interest in I lie candidacy of George T. Oliver for the United States Senate. Discussing the situation today, Senator Crawford, who recently was re elected for a fourih term, said: "It is now nearly two weeks since tbe candidacy of George T. Oliver for the United States Senate was lirst seriously considered, and a week since the Alle gheny county legislative delegation un animously indorsed hi in in caucus. Dar ing this time, as a friend of his I have paid some attention to newspaper com ment on the subject, and especially to such of it as was unfriendly. II is of this that I think something should be said. "Some have sneered because Mr. Oliver is wealthy. Is that discreditable? I have yet to learn that to he born without means, to work hard for 30 or 40 years, to contend time and again against adverse fortuue, to survive the reverses Inevitable in a period of industrial development and transition, and at last to achieve a com fortable position In life, should be held objectionable. Mr. Oliver is uot of the sudden rich, but quite the contrary. He bus not oppressed, he has not crushed others, aud be has resorted to no unlaw ful or improper methods for bis own ag grandizement. "Some have urged that we must have another Kuox another great lawyer and auolher great orator. Not necessarily. Spooners, Knoxes, Roots, Lodges and Culbersona are few, and that is why they stand out so brilliantly. Besides, it is not essential that one excel In these re spects in order to make a good Senator. Tbe man of most dominating personality in the Senate today is neither orator nor lawyer. Tbe President is not a lawyer. The late Senator Allison was only an or dinary lawyer and an ordinary speaker, and yet be was an extraordinarily valu able Senator. Mark Hanna waa not a lawyer aud made no speeches until late in life,.but be was a real Senator for all that. As for Mr. Oliver, be was a prao ticing attorney for 10 years and be is well grounded in tbe law. He was but 26 and had beeu at tbe bar only three years, wben he was made solicitor for the Dollar Savings Bank. This was in 1874 wben that bank waa the largest financial insti tution in Pittsburgh. The trustees were among tbe most conservative and sub stantial men in the city, and the service was of a peculiarly exacting nature re quiring both skill and discretion. It was I lie most important general counselorshlp in that pBrt of the state. Mr. Oliver dis charged ila duties with entire satisfaction and retaiued the position until be retired from active practice in 1N81. The place is now held by Mayor George W. Guthrie. In short you may be sure tbat Mr. Oliver is lawyer enough to discriminate be tween what is constitutional legislation and class legislation, between meritorious measures and political tlubdub. As to speakiug, be can take care of himself in tlie committee room or on his feet. At an v rate the criticism we bear most fre quently of tbe Senate is that it runs too much to oratory. Often the cry ia for lewer speeches and less prolonged dis cussion, so I fancy one orator more or less will not imperil tbe nation. Besides, tbe tendency of all legislation today ia to ward tne regulation of business. More sud more each year we are trying to cor rect commercial and industrial evils minimize transportation abuses and re lieve the distresses of labor by act of Con liress. What more natural, therefore than for Pennsylvania a state so intimately concerned In these problems to increase the leaven of business men in the Senate by sending a business ninn like Mr. Oli ver to Washington? We all know that for nearly SO years be has bad to do with the very questions now uppermost in the public mind as a manufacturer, an em ployer, a shipper, a transporter, a devel oper, an investor and as an editor. The experience he has had must prove inval uable wben applied to proposed legisla tion his legal training will keen hi in on constitutional ground, while tbe saving common sense which has always charac terized lii in will act as a deterrent if radi- calism seeks to run rampant in either ex treme touching (be Issue of business and national prosperity. "I noted with amusement the remark of one paper that thought a oiuu migiit be a good lather, a kind employer, a respect ed citizen, of acknowledged integrity, and alsoaloyal Republican, these were not sulliclent reasons why he should be sent to the United States Senate. Of course not. Still, those are attributes not to be despised even by men who occupy 'the seats ot the mighty.' If a man be admir able in his personal relations, if after he has lived for 00 years in the same com munity he is of good repute for probity and fair deallug, and be notable for the instincts of decency which invariably ln , spire his attitude toward others, it Is rea sonable to assume that the same rule of ' conduct will be observed by him as a public servant. In other words, we in Pittsburgh commend Mr. Oliver to the people and legislature of Pennsylvania as the right man to succeed Senator Kuox because we know that be ran be truated in all things. We believe he will live op to the best traditions of tho Senate and will not lower the standard of excellence which is and ought to be demanded of that distinguished body. "I have also seen Mr. Oliver referred to as a machine politician, or a mere 'organ ization man,' and an olllce-seeker. He la 'an organization man' In that be has been persi-tently loyal and unselfishly devoted to the Republican party in the slate and nation. It has been matter of faith aud principle with him, not one of peraonal advantage, power or profit; nor has he been the creature of a clique, or the bene ficiary of unfair methods. So far from seeking office, hitherto he has done Just the opposite. Twenty-eight years ago be declined a state senatorsbip, 10 yearn ago he declined a nomination lor congress-man-at-large, and four years ago be de clined the United Slates Senatorship. These honors were within his reach with out opposition in his party, but for per aonal reasons be remained In private life. In all the intervening years, however, there baa been no more sincere laborer in (lie Republican cause. Surely, then, now that he aspires to seat in the United States Senate, and by general consent Al legheny oounty is looked to for the suc cessor to Senstor Knox, it should be pleasure for Pennsylvania Republicans to pay Mr. Oliver a well-deserved com pliment lo round out bis career. It seems to me that a man who, In the larger sense, has enjoyed the confidence of McKinley, Roosevelt and Tail-to go no farther back in the roll of Republican Presidents-is pretty substantial senatorial timber." RECENT DEATHS. STAKELKY. David Stakeley, for fifty years or up wards a resident of Tylersburg, died at bla borne on Friday, 1st inst., ot cancer, from which be bad suffered for two years or more. He was aged 77 years, and was prominent In tbe affairs of his commu nity for a long term of years, and was one of lis most highly respected citizens. At the breaking out of tbe civil war Mr, Stakeley enlisted in Co. G, 15Mb Reg. P. V., and served the full term of bis en listment, leaving a good record behind.

On tbe 22d of December friends in Oil City received word of the sudden death of Mrs. Etta (Wiuans) McCreary, wife of Rev. E. D. McCreary, at tbe family bome In Berkely, California. Information aa to the cause was not given. Mrs. Mc Creary is well and most favorably re membered by many of the older citizens ofTionesta. She was tbe daughter of tbe late Dr. Wiuans, and grew to womanhood in ibis town. It waa during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. McCreary on this charge, more than thirty-five years ago, that tbe friendly relationship between tbe then young couple began, culminating In their bappy marriage. After leaving here Rov. Mr. McCreary became pastor of Grace M. E. church at Oil City where the family resided for a number of years, and from there he entered the western field of labor. Mrs. McCreary was one of Tlo nesU's noblest and most highly esteemed women, and tbe stricken husband and three surviving sons, Joe, Thomas and Paul, have the sympathy of all who knew the deceased.

Wilson, for many years resi dent of this community, died at bis bome in Allegheny township, Venango county, December 23d, 1908, from the effects of a stroke ot paralysis, aged 61 years, 3 months and 27 days. Accompanied by bis wife be bad been in Tionesta during tbe day of bis death, returning bome after dinner.

He was a veteran of the Civil war, enlisting on August 29, 1862, as a private in Co. F, 121st Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which company 1b perhaps belter known as tbe oue recruited by tbe late Capt. J. M. Clapp. Mr. Wilson served bis coun try faithfully and well, being honorably discharged from the service June 2, 1805, by reason of the expiration of his term of enlistment. Tbe principal battles be participated In were Fredericksburg, Get tysburg and Petersburg, and be was slightly wouuded at the latter place. On account of his superior marksmanship he was detached from the regular servioe after the battle of Gettysburg and placed in a sharpshooters' corps, where be served until finally discharged.

T. F. Km hkv, Secretary. Official Changes. The official changes at the court bouse took place Monday when the old stepped out and the new stepped in. SlieritrStroup delivered over tho keys to bis successor, S. It. Maxwell, who moved his family into the shcritf 'g house on Monday, the retiring official moving into his new domicile on Vine street. While there was no fortune in the Sheriff's office in tho last term, and hasn't been for several prior terms, Mr. Stroup erfoniied hisdutics conscientiously and well, and it can be said of him that "be inude a good Sheriff," and retires with the respect of all. A complete change lias tuken place in the Commissioners' office, Messrs. Agnew, Wolf and Eniert retiring aud Messrs. Har rison, Zuendel and M'Jlcllun assuming the duties of that very important office. The retiring board has left a good record for economical administration of the affairs of the county during the past years, having made very many substantial improvements ubout the public buildings, bridges, etc., and at the same time materially reduced the tax niillage and paying off a considera ble portion of the county indebtedness, and of them it can he truthfully said "well done." The? new board organized Monday by electing Win. II. Harrison as president; S. M. Henry, clerk: and M. A. Carringcr, solicitor; Dr. J. C. Dunn, county physician; Chas. Hu iter is retained as janitor. At the County Home Mr. and Mrs. F. Wcnk are succeeded by Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Mill as Steward and Matron. The new in cumbents found everything at the home in crfect order for their reception, Mr. and Mrs. Wenk having conducted the institu tion in a thorough, businesslike manner, and while feeding and clothing the inmates well and looking after their every comfort, have suved the county many times more than their salaries amounted to as com pared with the former management of this institution. They also retire with the good opinion of ull who have hud to do with the county home in the past three years. At tho Prothouotary's office the efficient and popular John C. Geist will do business at the same old stund for the next three years. His past record is a guarantee for the future, and the people will receive the same courteous treatment as ot yore when they have occasion to do business at that office. Messrs. Carson, Huugh and Warden, the retiring board of County Auditors, were very efficient in the discharge of their du ties and deserve the thanks of the people for the close attention they have heretofore given to the interests of the taxpayers. They are succeeded by Messrs. G. II. War den, A. C. Gregg and J. P. Kelly, tho first named having been re-elected. These gen tlemen, with Jas. D. Davis as clerk, will in a few days begin the annual audit of the county accounts. J. B. Eden and M. II. McClellan, who have had charge of the delicate aud impor tant matter of drawing the juries for the past three years, which they faithfully per formed, step aside for two other ofliciuls, Ernest Sibble anil Lewis Wagner, who ure not new at the business,. having served a term in that capacity once before. , With J. F. 1'roper as clerk they are now engaged in filling the jury wheel. Thut the new officers will do their very best in the discharge of their arduous duties to merit the approval of the taxpayers and citizens who have entrusted them with the county's affairs wc have every reason to be lieve, and in this effort wc wish them the best of success.

Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Law in Tionesta and vicinity were shocked at the news that Mrs. Law had committed suicide by shooting herself at her home in Pittsburg on Saturday, Deo. 20,1908. In this community, where the family had formerly resided and were universally respected, many heartfelt re grets were expressed at the tragic affair. For ten years Mrs. Law had been the vic tim of a homicidal mania, and nu two oc casions bad to tie sent to hospitals after causing tbe death of two babes. On each occasion she recovered her reason and was again united with ber family, ap parently entirely restored to health. The lollowlng account of the distressing affair is culled from the Pittsburg Dispatch of December 27th: "Ten years of pitiful, shuddering dread ia the pretty bome of Frank W. Law, a stove manufacturer, of 7600 kelly street, East End, terminated at noon Saturday wben Mr. Law went to Lis wife's room and discovered ber dead body upon tbe Moor, a bullet hole In ber temple and bis own revolver just within the grasp of tbe limp fingers. For more tban deeade Ida Louise Law had been an invalid specialists had treated her lu vain. Tbe shadow of tbe homicidal malady tbat bad aiuted ber in hid bung always over tbe home. Twice the specter bad gained for the husband and bis suffering wife un pleasant notoriety, wben two babies bad died at tbe band of the Insane mother. For several days husband and relatives had lived iu terror of tbe end tbat came Saturday, and a sister of Mrs, Law bad lived constantly with the sffiicted woman. A little more than 10 years ago, on July 21, 1S9S, Mrs. Law, in sudden fit of de meutia, killed hereon, little Arthur, who was but 18 months old. Tbe family at tbat time lived on Summer street, North side. The babe was found dead, bis throat cut. Mrs. Law waa placed in St. John's hospital, where she remained for a few weeks, being finally discharged as well. On March 17, 1900, little Florence Law, aged 3 months and 11 days, was found at the Kelly street home of tbe couple dead from strangulation. For this Mrs. Law was Bent to Dixmont Asylum, where, after a year she was discharged as cured. For some time past ber mind bad been failing again, but she begged not to be sent to an asylum. The shot that end ed tbe patient's sufferings was not beard by the husband aud other inmates of the house Saturday morning and tbe ghastly discovery wben Law mounted the stairs to bid bis wife good by preparatory to go ing downtown was the first Intimation he bad of his bereavement." Ida Louise Law was aged 44 years and was born and reared lu Oil City, ber maiden name being Trax. She is sur vived by her husband, one daughter, Eva, and two sons, Clarenpe and Ray mond. Also by several sisters and broth ers. During tbe past summer she and her husband visited Tionesta friends wben sho seemed in perfect health and fine spirits.
