Thk Republican State candidates are booked for an afternoon meeting in Tio nesta, Friday, Oct. 7ib. Keep the date in mind and be on band to greet tbem. ExPrksidknt Koosbvklt won hand ily In the New York State conven tion yesterday, bis majority for tempor ary chairman being 125 over hisopponent Vice President Sherman. The conven tion will nominate a candidate for Gover nor and other state officers today. Prospective voters should not forget that Oct. 8 is the last day upon which to pay state and county taxes In order that the receipt tberelore may be used for votiug purposes this fall. Unless the voter bas paid a slate and county tax' within two years of the coming Nov. 8, be should attend to tbe matter immediately. Republicans are cautioned not to over look this important matter. Thk natioual encampment of the G. A. R., at Atlantic City last week elected as the commander in chief John E. Oilman of Boston; senior vice commander In chief, Charles Burrows, Ruthford, N J.; junior vice commander in chief, William James, Jacksonville, Fla.; surgeon general. John L. Smith, Spokane, Wash.; chaplain in chief, Rev. Thomas Harwood Albuquerque, N. M. Rochester, N. Y., was selected as the plane for tbe encamp nieut next year. Tbe "old boys" bad tbe time of their lives at this encampment, so they say. Tuk recent death of two children one in Franklin and another in Harrisburg from lockjaw caused by vaccination, is calculated to bring borne with greater force than ever the argument that it would be the part of wisdom to "stop, look, listen." To compel a helpless child to run tbe gauntlet of death by lockjaw, or be deprived of an education, is coward Ice of the rankest and most despicable sort. Tbe lives of two children sacriticed to tbe most terrible of deaths within a week. IJow many children have died from smallpox in Pennsylvania witbin that time, or within years for that matter? Do you read oi anyT And yet the strong arm of the law demands that the innocent child shall be inooulitted with the virus of smallpox, with all its attendant risks to life, or be deprived of its schooling, while all tbe rest of mankind may mingle and congregate in hordes, spreading deadly disease at will, without fear or molestation. What fairness or decency is there in such a statute? But we'd per haps better stop here; some people might get the notion that we are opposed to compulsory vaccination for tbe little ones. The Berry Campaign. Tbe prediction of State Chairman Wal ton that the Republican ticket will be elected by tbe largest majority ever' re corded by tbe Republican Party in Penn sylvania in an "off" year is entirely justified by tbe political conditions throughout the State. Tne enthusiasm with which Representative Tener and bis associates have been received on their speaking tour emphsizes tbe satisfaction of the people over the Republican ticket. Tbe opposition to tbe Republican Party will accomplish nothing so far as tbe Stale ticket Is concei ned. But in another direction it may do barm and must be dealt with. In addition to State officials thirty-two members of Congress will be elected. In 11)04 tbe Republicans elected their candidates in tbirty-one of the thirty-two districts. In tbe present Congress live Pennsylvania districts are represented by Democrats. This year the Republicans should Increase their Congressional rep resentation. And there is where the third party must be considered. One by one it is indorsing Democratic candidates for Congress. The only thing Mr. Berry and bis friends think they can accomplish ' tbe election of men who will join the ranks of tba free trade Democracy in tbe House at Washington. If lhy succeed in doing this and the Democrats should happen to control tba Uoune in IheSlxtv Pnnylvania will have sent to Washington men who will vote for. Democrat tariff bill. whlch la clsely the sort of artff blll tbu 8 6 not want. Tbe Republic, of Penn.yi! vsnla should take no chances on Mr Berry and his Kryan candidates. There I. but one way to deal lue BltuaUoD Every Republican voter must go to the polls on November 8th and cast bis ballot for the entire Republican ticket. It will not do to take Republican sunc(.Ng fnr granted. If the Republicans of this State do their duty every Bryan candidate for Congress will go down in deloat with the Bryan candidate for Governor. 'Dr. W. J. McKnlgbt, the celebrated Jefferson oounty historian, writes tbe following interesting article for tbe Brookville Republican John Cook, the pioneer of Cooksburg, was born in Center county, Pa., and mi' grated when a young man, about 1820, to what is uow Beaver township, Clarion county. Here he cleared a farm and married Miss Susan Ilelpmau. In 1826 a survey was made of tbe Clarion river by tbe state of Pennsylvania with tbe yiew ol making a canal for a great highway from the east to the west. This prospect ive enterprise caused John 0ok to care lolly explore the Clarion river region above and below what is now Cooksburg, After this thorough examination, he selected the mouth of Tom's run ai suitable place for a home and to erect a sawmill. He purchased several hundred acres ol land, cleared some and erected on the east side of Tom's run a one story cabin 18x20 feet, and in 1828 be moved his family to this wilderness. After a resi dence of two years, Mrs. Cook died, In 1830. In 1832 John Cook married bis sec ond wife, Miss Catherine Ritter, who died in 1872. From these two unions were born seventeen children. Tbe first white man to pass through where Cooks burg now is was Christian Frederick Post, a moraviau missionary. Post was on bis way to visit the Indians ol the Al legheny river. On August 5, 17M, Post lost his pocketbook containing over three pounds in what is now at or near Cooks burg. This book and money I believe is yet lost. Clarion river was then called Tobeo river or Tobey river by bim, which means Alder stream. In 1749 this stream was called by tbe French, Rivere Au Fiel, or river of bate. In 1802 it was called Stump creek and was so designated on some of the early maps and in 1819 we had tbe first oifitial mention of the river as Clarion. The old settlers, including myself, tenaciously clung to tbe name Toby's creek, until 1850. Tom's run was so named from a Seneca Indian in pre historic days. His camp was still there I o 1837. Along this run was a trail over which tbe Seneca Indians came from tbe Reservation in tbe north to hunt in Jef ferson county. As many as sixty Iu dians accompanied by a few squaws, have come over this trail in the fall and by the same route returned in the winter; these Indian bunts were more or less con tinued until about 1842. I have seen some of these Indiau huuters myself, in Brookville. After Cook built bis sawmill, be logged with oxen for ten years aud rafted and run bis boards to Pittsburg markets. About the late thirties be commenced building II at boats. These flatboals were made from tbe choicest pine trees, some of which were one hundred feet long and he drew tbem to tbe river with six horses. To turn a boat over and into tbe river re quired 10 men and a gallon of whiskey. Id 1837 he was sufficiently prosperous to buy two gray horses which he called Mike aud Pete. I have seen this team myself, a very tine pair, in Brookville at John Smith's tavern. The northwest was then a Paradise for hunters. In addition to being a farmer, boat builder and lum berman, John Cook was a mighty buuter and like all other Pioneer hunters, he kept from five to six hounds. In tbe twenties he carried a flint lock gun; in the late thirties he secured a heavy barrel percussion rifle. In and around Cooks burg there was over fifty four-footed wild animals for Cook to trap aud chase. How many animals be killed in bis lifetime I do not know, but in one day, in 1830, he killed six deer, one Panther, one bear, one wolf and sixty wild turkeys. The woods were full of wild bee trees and honey was to be had whenever needed. Tbe waters of Pennsylvania including Lake Erie then contained three hundred and twenty-Sve species and sub-species of fishes. Cook caught in tbe Clarion river by book and line, many a choice bass, chub, trout and shot funny a pike weighing each irom fifteen to thirty pounds. His saw mill cost bim about :i00-f2(M) for the la bor and f 100 ior the iron. In early days bis groceries and necessaries bad to be poled up the Clarion in a canoe. Tbe great danger of tbe wilderness along the water and in the woods, was the rattle snake. There was a den at Troutman run, one on the bill right back of where Wayne Cook's residence now is and one at Mount M isery. A air of rattlesnakes have from five to twenty-five young each year. j. nese aene Had to 03 visited an nually in April or May every spring, and sometimes from one to two hundred snakes were killed in a day, at one or each of these dens. Tbe snakes were in the habit then in the spring of the year, all through this wilderness, of coiling themselves into a great ball on some large stone and the pioneer, knowing this habit would visit the den at the right time and shoot through the ball, killing many of them. I remember John Cook well. Had many a long talk with bim in John Smith's tavern. He was about feet 0 inches high, very heavy set and oi great muscular power. He prided him self on his physical strength. John Cook was a remarkable man, a man of brain uui wun i in i ued education, lie was honest, industrious and reliable, enter prising, ambitious, a business man for bis day, and bis word was as good as his bond. The Cook brothers of to-day in herit all their brawn, brain and extraor dinary business tact, abilities and sue cessful incision fiom John Cook, tbe pioneer. John Cook died in Cooksburg in 1858, aged seventy years, W.J. MuKniuut. September 12, 1910. I(MJ ItEWAKII, I(M).
