Kutunlny, June 4111, W10. M. P. W HKRLKR Dr. Ohlkk, who recently Issued the diotum that men over forty-five bad out lived tbelr usefulness)), hits dow made the aomewbst stale discovery tbat tbe white man cannot thrive in the tropics, and this in tbe face of the fact that Medical Director Urogasbasa thriving white population in the erstwhile worst pesthole of tbe tropics and that they bave lived there for four or five years with a death rate less than that of New York. Thk United State pension roll Is now at the lowest notch it baa occupied for the past Hi years. Tbe forthcoming report of 1'omiuiHniouer Warner will show that there are now 947,708 beneficiaries of tbe federal pension system. This is the smallest number reported at any lime since 1893. A couple of years ago the pension roll reached tbe 1,000,000 mark It remained there for a brief period Of time only, as deaths resulting from old age quickly reduced it. Tbe pension authorities believe tha. tbe list will shrink rapidly from now on, unless con gress broadeuB the pensionable field by new legislation. Osb of tbe stock arguineuts when men ask fur higher wages or protest when tbe beef trust or some similar concern exacts extortionate rates is that workmen now have comforts our grandfathers did not dream ol. This is quite true. Also, it is a fact that our grandfathers did not bave the inventions and wealth-making ma chinery that we have and (here is no rea son wby tbe inventions should be for tbe benefit of a few rings of slaughter bouse men, farm machinery men, food manu facturers and similar combinations. It is ol uo importance whether our grand fathers lived as well as we or not; the question Ik are we getting a fair dealT and the next inquiry should be: if not, wby noi? If we are to take any instruc tion from our grandfathers' methods, it should be that kind that made them get their niui-keu lor those who oppressed them and then established a more perfect administration of affairs. Franklin News. Thomas V. Cooper, veteran stale legislator, editor, and political leader, was burned to death at bis borne in Me dia, Delaware county, Pa., Sunday morn ing. While smoking a cigar in bis sit ting room be is supposed to have fallen asleep or suffered an apoplectic stroke, and bis gnrmets caught tire, burning bis body to a crisp. He was troubled witb insomnia, and had risen early in tbe morning before any of tbe household were awake, and had gone to bis "den" to enjoy a smoke. Col. Cooper was at one time perhaps tbe best known man in Pennsylvania, having served his county in tbe legislature for more than thirty years, either as Representative or Sena tor, For nearly a decade be was chair man ol the Republican State committee, and as such won many a hard-fought battle for bis party. In 1856 be estab lished the Delaware County American, and was still its editor and publisher when overtaken by bis tragic death. lie was aged 75 years, and served through tbe entire civil war. "Red-beaded aud hopelul Tom," as be used to be called, was a field-marshal of politics in tbe old days and be bad a career that can hardly be matched in the long history ot the Slate. Genial and kind, with a fund of wit and humor, bis friends were legion, and bis tragic end will be deeply lament ed in every section of tbe State. Low Tariff and High Prices. The Washington correspondent of tbe Pittsburg Gazette-Times gives the follow ing as the opinion of Hon. N. P. Wheeler: "How does a low tariff work? It does not reduce prices. Take two of tbe I in portant products of my district for ex ample. Tbe duty was cut on lumber. It is now selling higher than before the duty was lowered. No one benefits but the Canadians. They don't bave to pay so much to get their lumber into this coun try as before tbe Payne bill became a law and tbe government loses the revenue which it needs. Tbe duty was removed from bides and they are now selling high er than ever before. Tbe government loses the revenue from the importation and tbe foreigners add tbe amouut to their profits. I cau'l see where this low tariff policy helps either tbe government or tbe people." Query Would high tariff or free trade make lower prices? A True Friend to Worthy Ones. The following dispatch from Washing' ton will prove of interest to bis constitu ents generally, aud shows very conclu sively that Congressman Wheeler is not asleep by any means, in spite ol tbe fact that Congress is but a few days' old Here is what the dispatch says, under date of December 14: "Congressman Nelson P. Wheeler, who is always alive to the interests of his con stituents, bids fair to eclipse bis record of the last Congress in the matter of secur log increased pensions for old veterans of his district. In tbe last Congress Mr, Wheeler secured the passage through Congress of uo less than lourteen bills of this character, a greater number than ever secured by any of his predecessors, and this in face of Hie fact that tbe rules ol the House practically limit a member to four of such bills during a session. "Mr. Wh(.eler bas started in early at this session, and although tbe session Is only about a week old be bas secured from the committee ou Invalid Pensions Heveral increases for old veterans. These reports were made on Friday last and Monday these bills were passed through tbe House and sent to tbe Senate, where favorable action will undoubtedly follow, One of these bill iucreased to f-iu per month the pension of E. L. Morris of Youngsvllle, and tbe others increased to $24 per month each the pensions of J, Petti grew of franklin and Nathan Laugh lier, of Arroyo, Elk county." Whig Hill.

Dkar Epitok:-! thought some of the folks would like to bear from me, so I will try to tell you some of tbe things I have seen since we left Endeavor. We were in a blizzard from St. Paul all tbe way to Spokane, Wash. Tbe snow was from six to twelve iucbes deep and it was cold. The mercury was down to 12 aud 5 below zero in Montana, but when we got over west of the Cascades wo ran into summer again. We found tbe folks all well out here and all doing well. I mean the people from old Forest county, I find business good out here, better than I expected, and tbe outlook is good for things to still get better inside of six weeks, but dear friend let me tell you one thing: It costs money to stsrt into business in this country lor the country is large and the timber is big and you must bave machinery to correspond and money too, so take It all around the west is no two-by-lour. Wages are good and work is plenty here on tbe Sound. Don't think tbey are all asleep out bere for they are not. Tbey can tell a man Irom the east tbe minute tbey see him and all bave something to sell you, that is if you bave a dollar left when you land. As good luck would bave it I was "busted" when I got bere, so I saved them the bother of skinning me alive. We like the country very much so far. It rains some ont here, but it does not take long to get the moss started on your back and then you are all right. I saw our old friend H. A. Lynch and of course be was anxious to know all about the people back east. I did my best to satisfy him as far as I could. I also calUd on J. E. Wheeler at McCoimick, Wash., and bad a fine visit with bim. "Jack," as we all knew bim back east, bas surely got a fine mill under construction, which will be ready for business In six or eight weeks. Tbe mill proper is 50 feet wide, 250 feet long, and is equipped with tbe latest ma cbinery. It will be a fine plant wben in operation. I bave not leen down to Ostrander, where most of tbe ForeBt county people live, but think I will call on them in a few days. I bave not taken a trip to tbe mountains yet for it is out of season just now, but am figuring on that later in tbe season, when tbe weather will be more favorable and the fishing aud bunting will be in prime condition Well, not wishing to make myself mo notonous, I will close without giving yon any Washington fish story this time, al though I have bad the pleasure of catch ing some of those noted specimens of salmon of this country that tipped tbe scales at 15 pounds each. Witb best wishes to all. L. J. Osgood Solomon yet lives! A Wilkesbarre justice, in a case where a customer al leged the grocer bad sold ber bad eggs, suggested that tbe grocer prove their goodness by eating the unsused portion of the dozen eggs, Wben tbe grocer downed tbe eggs be was promptly discharged. Ilrnrnrss I'nnnot He Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach Hie diseased portion of tbe ear, There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eu stachian Tube. When this tube gets in flamed you bave a rumbling sound or imperlect bearing, and when it is entire ly closed neatness is the result, and un less the inflamation can be taken out and this lube restored to its normal condition Hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces.

Brenneman, aged 60 years, died Thursday night, Deo. 1(1, 1009, at bis home in Kennerdell, Yeuango county. He had been ill for some time with can cer of tbe liver. Mr. Brenneman was native of Clarion county and was a real deut of Tionesta for a number of years, coming here in 1881 to build fUt boats for the firm of A.J. Landers A Co., whose scaffold was at tbe old Dlthrldge mill at the mouth ol Tionesta creek. Previous to that time he was employed by Mr. Landers in building boats on tbe Clarion river, tbe lumber plant being located at State Road Killlo, In Highland township. He continued In the same business at various points cn tbe Allegheny river and for the past year be had been en gaged in building the boata lor the Dover spike company at Rock mere. He was an exrert at his work and was well known throughout this section. A man of up right character, be made many friends who will mourn bis death. Mr. Brenne man is survived by his wife, ho is sister of Mrs. Ada Dunkle, of Oil City, formerly of Tionesta. Three children also survive, namely; Mra. Clinton Blakeslee, of Kane, Pa.; Mra. M. Farber, of Boston, Mass.; Ralpb Brenneman, at home. Tbe funeral was held Sunday morning, witb services at the borne at 10 o'clock. WORK. A dispatch to the Denver Republican from Fort Morgau, Colorado, under dale of Deo. 12th, gives the following particu lars of tbe dealb of a former well known Forest couuty citizen: "Josiah Work, one of tbe most proiul neut men in Morgan county, died this morning at 5 o'clock at his home on Meeker street. Mr. Work bas suffered witb tuberculosis for several years. For the last few months be bas been gradually falling. He was 74 years old. He was one of tbe wealthiest men in the county, having amassed comfortable fortune since his arrival here in 1899. He was identified witb D. A. Cam field and S. H, Shields in the building or the Bijou reser voir aud ditch system and by Ibe pur chasing of choice sections of land before tbe water system was completed be laid the foundation for a small fortune. He was one of the foremost men in tbe pro motion of Morgan county and at tbe time tbe Riverside reservoir was built was one ot tbe backers and a director in the com pany. He was connected witb the Em pire Construction company aud largely through his efforts the Empire reservoir was built. He was one of the organizers of the United Presbyterian churcb of this place and shortly before bis death deeded a choice quarter section of land to mis sionary work. He was also one of tbe leading men in tbe promotion of tbe Y. M. C. A. In this county. Mr. Work is survived by a widow and 11 children, wbo are: C. T. Work, bead of the indus trial school for girls at Denver, Tex.; Josephine Work, teacher at Berkeley, Cal.; Mrs. Hogg, who was a missionary to Egypt, but now resides at Manchester, England; Ruth Work, a missionary at Assuit, Egypt; Robert Work, an attorney of this place; Mrs. Dr. Sbawkey, Charles town, W. Va.; Johu, James and Thomas Work, farmers near this place; McClain Work, a college student at MontAoutb, III., and Mrs. Baylor, wife of one of the instructors of the State School of Mines at Golden. Funeral services will be held next Thursday at 3 o'clock." Mr. Work was a native of Indiana county and came to Redclyffe, Baruett township, in 1885, where bis activities as a lumberman made him prominent fig ure in the affairs of this county and more especially in that section. Witb W. A. Croasmun, of Redclyffe, Thomas H. Marshall & Sons, of Dayton, Pa., and Miles Putney, of Putneyvllle, Pa., be organized the Maple Creek Lumber Co., witb headquarters at Redclyffe. This business was continued until 1894, wben the partnership was dissolved and the property divided. Mr. Work then en gaged in the manufacture of lumber and tbe building of boats under tbe name of Josiah Work & Sons, at the mouth of Maple Creek, on Ibe Clarion River, tbe business of this firm being closed up by his sous only a few years ago. Mr. Work was a conscientious and upright man iu all bis dealings, always Btriving for tbe rlgbt as be saw It. In politics he was an ardent Prohibitionist and was a candi date of that party for Associate Judge. He was twice married, bis first wife be ing Miss Sarah A. Hindman, of Dayton, Pa. His second wile was Miss Jennie McClean, of Sbarpsburg, Pa. The editor of the Altoona Tribune cherishes some oldfasbloned Ideas, albeit they are not at varience with good com mon sense. One is that a good deal of a man's leisure time should be spent at borne in company with his family. An other is Ibat the mother should permit neither society functions nor anything else to interfere witb her duty to tbe chil dren growing up in ber borne. And still another is that the children and young people should form no habits, make no engagements, that keep them from home tbe majority of the evenings each week, or that keep them out of tbe house until a late hour of tbe night. He is convinced that tbe home in which the parents and children spend tbe time together is a bet ter home than the one which is only an eating place, a sleeping resort, a barbor when no other spot is available. All of which is simply equivalent to saying there are two many lodgeB, clubs, socle' ties, auxiliaries, associations, conven lions, meetings, unions, etc. There are so many of these that neither father, mother or any of the children have good opportunities for testing the tbe truth of the Baying "There's no place like home."
