WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1912
Senator La Follettb failed to get an
Indorsement of the Ohio "progressives,"
and may begin to fear that progress Isn't
as progressive as It should be.
What bas become of tbe concentrated
food tablets of which much was once said?
Tbey will be needed In the ditfcult, not to
say desperate war beun against tbe tip
system,
This year's report of the comber of
sheep In the United Slates is 30,700,000, a
decrease of 2.200,000 since 1910. Perhaps
the falling off is another echo of tbe elec
tion of a Democratic House.
President Tapt said the other day
that nothing but death would keep him
out of the Presidential race. Which
moves the Punxy Splrltto say that that
is about all that could prevent bis nomi
nation and election.
It appears that a 1923,000,000 meat com
bine projected In 1902 tailed for the need
of only '.K),000,000. The high percentage
of water wbich it was proposed to put in
tbe stock can easily be seen by a com
parison of tbee figures.
Tom Tagoart of Indiana is slated, it Is
said, for leader of the Democrats during
the eampaign next fall. It will be re
membered tbnt Mr. Taggart fell down
badly on tbe Job some lime ago. Still,
bope springs eternal In tbe politician's
breast. Titusville Herald.
The confession of the Bev. C. T, V
Ricbeson to tbe murder of bis former
sweetheart, Avis Llmel, while not sur
prising, came as a shock to some who bad
hoped be might be able to prove bis inno
cence of the revolting crime. The neces
sity of a court trial Is thus happily averted
and the fallen minister will be sentenced
to death, but it is believed be will be
saved from tbe electric chair by tbe inter
ventien of Governor Foss and tbe execu
tive council who, it Is thought will act
favorably upon a petition asking for
clemency wbich will be presented to
them, and commute tbe death sentence to
life imprisonment, Richeson was sen
fenced to be electrocuted May 19th.
In The Last Dllcli.
The political discontents of the country
re dwindling in numbers and are now
fighting in tbe last ditcb, Tbey have
called themselves in turn iusurgeuts,
progressives and reformers but tbey have
avoided their real name, place hunters,
Tbels purpose from start to finish bas
been to defeat Taft for re-election. Tbey
might have been able to accomplish that
bad not every last one of tbem been
guided by tbe name purpose and that
purpose was to force themselves into tbe
White House.
Senator Cummins was tbe first to take
try kt being tbe Presidential candidate.
Bis ambition lead him into tbe political
swamps. Then Senator La Follette at
tempted a wild dash Into tbe arena but be
also made a dismal failure. Xow tbe
whole crowd bas turned to Col. Theodore
Roosevolt, not to save him, but to help
tbem defeat President Taft.
Col. Roosevelt is not disposed to help
along with tbe discontents. Time aDd
again be bas declare', that under no cir
cumstances would he get into tbe contest
against tbe President. Mr. Taft only last
week gave notice that be would not con
test for a re-nomination against bis friend
Roosevelt so that so far as may be seen
with, tbe naked eye Mr. Taft will not
only be renominated but re-elected.
The Republicans of Pennsylvania will
holdttbeir State convention at Harrisburg
on May 1 next, when the delegates to tbe
coming Presidential convention will be
topped off and it is now accepted that a
solid Talt delegation will be sent from
this State.
Curing' Consumption.
Can consumption be cured? Thousands
of persons are still asking this and it is
largely because of ignorance upon this
subject that there are bo many deaths
from tuberculosis.
The consumptive can be cured if be
takes treatment soon enough and keeps
it np long enough. No doctor can cure
typhoid fever, pneumonia or appendicitis
if tbe disease bas progressed too far. Tbe
same thing is true of tuberculosis. There
fore, if you are losing weight, and have
no appetite; if you are suffering from
night sweats, a persistent cough and a
general run down condition, see a doctor
at once.
If be tells you to go to a sanitorium, by
11 meaus go and go at ouce. If you are
obliged to take tbe cure at borne, follow
II of your doctor's directions minutely.
Live in the open air as much as possible.
Take plenty of milk and eggs. Sleep
outside. Rest all you can. When you
feel better, don't think you are cured. It
takes years to make a cure permanent.
Above all things remember that there
is no medicine that will cure tuberculosis.
Avoid patent medicines -your doctor will
prescribe tbe simple tonics you may
need. The ouly way to recover is to
build up the health of your whole body
and tbe best mediciue for this Is suushine,
fresh air, nourishing food, regular living
nd rest. Pennsylvania Society for tbe
prevention of tuberculosis.

Chndnian Writes More About Florida.
Punta Gorda, Fla., Jan. 8, 1912.
Editor Republican:-! have few
minutes (bis morning while waiting
week for my breakfast to give this type
machine its digital thumps. I am glad to
wait, for I can see out into tbe back yard
and garden, and I behold tbe landlady
out there gathering some bright red to
matoes, marrow lat peas, and bunch of
young onions. On tbe way in she will
atop at the ben bouse and get me two nice
fresh eggs. So, after an expectant wait, I
shall sit down to meal such as we enjoy
In our country In June or July.
It ia quite possible that, during my
meal, I shall be compelled to take few
swats at that dipterous Insect known as
the Muse domestics, and, may be, I will
be called upon to prolong tbe mastication
of hunk of Florida beef by taking suffi
cient lime to discourage tbe activities of
the red-complected ants In tbe sugar
bowl; but, with tbe exception of those
interruptions, I Bhall dine with the same
degree of hauteur and elegance which
characterize tbe repasts of the Gaekwsr
of Baroda.
The merry Christmas season and tbe
glad New Year opoch are now over at
Ibis place. I presume they are a, otber
places also. The country o'er, the fes
tivities and celebrations are the same, ex
cept that in Florida we shoot the fire
cracker and burn up the sky rocket. To
me it was a complete Fourth of July
with all tbe customary pyrotechnics. I
joined the kiddies iu their work of pre
venting nervous people from having a
moment's rest, and in showing, as every
good citizen should show, tbe marshals
exactly where those mischievous boys
with tbe cannon crackers weren't, while
I well know tbat on such occasion the
only thing there is for an old batch to do
la to line bis outraged Iront up against
tbe imitation mahogany aud take his
sbellaototbe intermittent fortissimo of
tbe cash register pianola.
There are no sleds here and no skates.
Not but that people get skates on here
the same as tbey do at otber places In tbe
world where people live, and "slide,
Kelley, slide," Is occasionally heard, but
the Ice skates and the snow sleds, tbe
sight of which brings Joy to tbe northern
youngster, never adorn the Christmas
tree lu southern Florida.
This is the land where tbe man lived
who got so tired resting that he became
too fatigued to oontinue, and bad to stop
and rest up awhile. There Is nothing
here to do and nobody eager to do It.
Every soul here believes in bis heart thai
no one should work, that if there is any
work to do somebody should be hired to
do it. But the work of hiring anybody to
work is too fatiguing for this climate.
Mr. Dennis O'Toole, au Illinois friend
I have just made, tells me, with every
intonation of truth in bis voice, tbat
Florida is 95 per cent, climate, and 5 per
cent. sand. I agree with him as far as be
goes, but I point out tbat 100 per cent,
doesn't come any ways near Including all
there is in Florida. If we figure it all up
it comes to something like 108 per cent.,
which, as I remember, is the amount of
tbe chemical Ingredients in tbe Mt.
Clemens miners! water.
After I set my breakfast I am going
out to see something I never saw before
in my lite. It is simply this, cut worms
working on the 8tb day of January.
Now, I used to be something of a cut-up
myself, and during tbat period the dif
ferent seasons bad no effect upon me, but
to see a genuine slate-colored old cut
worm at work oo tbe p Writs in garden
on tbe 8th day of January, when he
should be many Inches under tbe ground
cuddled up In bis silken cocoon, is a
sight wblub I am looking forward to wltb
much pleasure.
Out In the yard in the rear of this hotel
are two old soldiers campiug. Tbey are
from Portage county, Ohio, and are ac
quainted with a great many people I
know in northern Obio, so I spend many
of my evenings around tbeir camp fire,
chatting about our mutual friends and
the various items of Interest concerning
the Buckeye state, These old soldiers
come to Florida every winter and live in
camp fust as they did during tbe war.
Tbey have excellent fishing tackle and
catch every day ten times more fish than
tbey can use.
Tbe town is filling up with ''tourists,"
and as they come and go, I begin to
think that I am an old timer. Next week
I go down the Bay about 18 miles to tbe
mullet and mackerel tlshiug, and expeol
to remain with the fishermen a few days.
After that I am going to Fort Meyers,
and from there up into Lake Ocbechobee,
where, I am told there is most wonderful
fishing and hunting. If Gus Carson was
down here with tbat repeating rifle of
bis, be could shoot a dozen ducks in as
many minutes. A tiny bell is tinkling
down below, and me for tbat July break
fast. Wallie.
A Great Work For the Sick.
A preliminary report of the work done
at Bon Air Sanatorium for tbe year 1911
shows tLat 111 patients were treated, 75
discharged, 13(11(1 hospital days furnished,
an average of 117 days to the patient.
During tbe mouth of January will be
offered tbe regular annual report showing
the Bcieutifio results on the 75 patients
tbat were discharged and tbe cost of
malntainance. This Is a phenomenal
work and when one considers tbe small
amount of utouey at haud with wbich to
carry on such a work, it is wonderful.
There is hardly a town In tbe surround
ing country but what has Its cure from
Bon Air, a living example of what can be
done at this institution. What it needs
most of all is the hearty co-operation of
all, financial assistance from those who
can afford to give, aud memberships at o
a year from everybody. Its existence in
sures the individual of a place to go and
it ought to be worth 5 a year for that in
surance. Many men throughout the
country could giveflM) to Bon Air with
out missing it, and when the debt is
eliminated even more work will be done,
Here is an institution that makes good
before it asks for support aud it Is well
worth tbe serious thought of every man
who bas tbe interest of the people at
heart.

'Jim" Kightlinger Dead.
The following account of man well
known iu this county is from recent
issue of tbs Meadvilly Tribune;
Archie Henry received a letter Wednes
day from Erie, announcing tbe death of
James Kigbtlinger, better known here as
"Jim the Fiddler," which occurred re
cently In the Soldiers' and Sailor's Home.
Mr. Kigbtlinger was born in East Fair
field township, this county, March 30,
1933, and was son of George Kightlinger
a pioneer, soldier of tbe war of 1912, and
one of tbe largest and strongest men who
ever lived in Ibis section of tbe State. Tbe
son inherited a rugged constitution, and
early developed into a strong and fearless
man. Wbeu tbe civil war broke out lu
1801 be was iu tbe prime of life. It is not
unnatural tbat be should have a desire to
go forth to be a defender of bis country,
and be enlisted in tbe State of Illinois and
served faithfully as a soldier.
After the war, Mr. Kigbtliuger drifted
to Michigan and was a lumberman- sev
eral years, during which be had many
thrilling adventures and came out vie'or
in many severe engagements with the
lumbermen of tbat State. He returned to
Crawford county in 1872, and most of tbe
past -tO years of bis life was spent here
abouts. He was for several years an in
mate of the Soldiers' Home at Qulncy
III., but transfered bis membership to tbe
home at Erie, and died there. "Jim"
Kightlinger bad a checkered career, and
a history oi bis many adventures would
make an interesting story. He was a
violinist and furnished musio lor many
country dances. He might have been sup
posed by many to have been a man of bad
habits and a vicious nature, but such was
not the case. Beneat b a some what brusque
character was hidden a kind and
honest heart. Mr. Kightlinger is sur
vived by one son, Charles A., of Chicago,
His nearest relative living in Meadville
is William Kightlinger, a nephew. Many
relatives reside east of Meadville in tbe
vicinity of Kiser bill. Tbe body of "Fid
dler Jim" was lntered in the cemetery
connected with the S.ildiers' home at
Erie.
Porkey.
Tbe extreme cold weather of tbe past
few days made us squirm and twist with
rapidity to keep from freeziug, but we
have succeeded in preserving our pen

Mrs. Wm. Slocum stopped off here
Saturday morning to call oo Irlends, and
while here informed us tbat they are

the most interesting thoughts we bave
evor been able to listen to aud we hope
no one who was there will ever forget the
advice given, as it was undoubtedly tbe
Dest auvice we ever heard.

The Woman's Relief Corps.
Tbe Woman's Relief Corps ia noble
band,
Tbey are the best drilled body in all tbe
land,
This was proved at Oil City I would relats,
And so declared by the iuspeotor of 1'enn,
sylvania stats,
This Corps has always been our pride,
Without tbeir aid our Post would have
died,
For ns a high standard did maintain,
And always bore noble name.
Tbey bave been with as in many scenes,
And often gave ns pork and beans,
With delicious, coffee, Ice cream aud cake
And if you please, cheese and otber food
not hard to take.
They help us keep Memorial day at the
cloae of spring,
And furnish wreaths and flowers, aud
hero's virtues sing.
Then let us toast these ladies fair, each
man a glass In band,
And may their fame as heroines ne'er fall
lu Forest land.
Nlow Post and The t'omrndra.
T'wat years ago in eighteen eighty two,
Stow Post was formed of soldiers good
and true,
Id gathering tbe boys, as I look back,
Tbe most industrious was comrade Dan
Black.
Although ibis la true you will please bear
in mind,
Captain Daniel 8. Knox was not far be
hind, Who full of enthusiasm, you may take
my word,
Corralled all the boys of the grand old
Eighty-third.
He towed them Into camp, they made
quite host,
And other soldiers too, made np George
Stow Post.
It was called by tbe state department No.
-'74,
And soon had on its rolls ninety-two or
more.
Now at this time our Post was fall of
glory,
In members strong as I can tell the story,
It was a grand time at their merry meet
ings. To be among the boys, and hear their
cheerful greetings.
Call tbe roll of the Post cried tbe com
mander last May,
But Obi it was sad bow many were miss
ing tbat day,
Let us then call the names of those who
were here.
When tbey enlisted whose memory with
others we revere.
Capt, 8 tow, J ames Thorn p son, Went wor tb ,
Capt. Knox aud Hill,
Johnson, Weingard, Osgood, Wm. Iken-
btirg and others still,
J. G. Root and James Huddleson all good
soldiers and true.
Are remembered indeed by most all of
you.
But few of that old guard on earth do
roam.
Web Clark and Bill Lawrence brought
the boys home,
Rut uiauy the comrades they left behind,
John Harrington, Jake Sbriver and oth
ers we mind.
Pete Conver, Major Malklus and Sergt,
Stadine,
Were as good true soldiers as the earth
bas ever seen,
Dan McClintock, Jacob Zents, Nick
Thompson and Ab Kinney,
Were all good men tbat fought in Old
Virgluny.
Foreman, Andrews, Fitzgerald, Kenuls-
tou and MaCray,
Have all left us here as bas Satley Syl-
VOfttd aj
J. B. Agnew, Alf Hill and Tyrrel all
good and brave,
Slumber and sleep In the good hero's
grave.
Butler aud Stroup and Dr. J. V. Morrow,
Have gone to that laud not clouded with
sorrow,
While Hoovler, Capt. Clark, CanBeld and
Hovard,
Were a part in times past of the nations
grand guard.
Dunn, Sutton, John Wilson and others I
know,
Have gone to the land where tbe bright
waters Bow,
Fred Glasauer, Henry Ellers and Angust
Weingard, -Do
peacefully sleep In St Bartholomew
church yard.
J. G. Root, Downing, Ikenburg, Osgood
and John Rboads,
And Conger have Zuendel church yard
for tbeir abodes,
While Joseph Mong, Fenstermaker and
Zuck you see,
Do peacesully rest in Mt, Zlon Cemetery.
Tbe roll Is not ended, Adjutant, there
are still,
Blocher, Kingman and Walters who sleep
at Newmansville,
Then there is on tbe list, as most of you
know,
Two soldiers who fought for freedom long
long ago.
Lieut. John Range, and the first Daniel
Harriugton,
Who fought for our Freedom with the
great Washington,
Of the war of 1812 John Root I can name,
And young Harold Sharpe of the late war
with Spain.
Are these tbe boys who did once leap and
play,
And whose spirits were bright as sum
mer day,
Who when the war drums were beard in
the laud,
Rushed to tbe standard like old Gideou's
baud.
Are these tbe boys who by valor fired,
Who buruiug with zeal aud by dnty In
spired, At the sound of the trumpets, tbey raise
a great cheer,
Don't say tbeir voices had their force,
from copious draughts of beer.
These cannot be tbe wild boys who se
often did go,
From their camp at night to where south
ern crops did grow,
Full of love, but not music then tbey hur
ry away.
To tbe still starlit field where the ripe
melons lay.
These comrades all kuew when they went
out after dark,
The differencs between a sheep and fat
mudlark,
A forager indeed was a mighty poor ex
case, That could not tell the darkest night
turkey from a goose.
Borne of these poor men seem furrowed
aud gray,
And the bloom of youth from their cheeks
has tied away,
Hut their hearts are still young, I know
this for a truth,
Tbey are my comrades good, dear friends
of my youth.

G. W. ROBINSON 4 SON
We think of the war scenes as of yesterday,
Have we slept like Rip Van Winkle forty
years away.
Don't let such dreams haunt us, oh we
re boys as before,
But the dream left its Impress, brows
wrinkled, beads hoar.
But we'll laugh at times traces, laughter
lies clcse to tears,
And ws will think ourselves boys again
after long years,
Wbich have changed ns with joy mingled
with pain,
How often we wish for our dear childhood
agaiu.
There's but few of us here, where's the
rest of our band,
Beyond mountains and rivers, scattered
over tbe land,
Ws cannot count them at present, so sun
dered apart,
But tbey are with ns in memory, they are
here In each heart.
They fought in a combat fiercer far than
they dreamed,
Where hosts met in courtlot and bayonets
gleamed,
Tbey said here when our nation rose In
it might.
For love of tbe old flag tbey strove for the
right.
To be heroes in war waa not the boon
of all,
Some died as unmarked as brown leaves
in tbe fall,
Shall the leaf live again after winter aud
frost?
Yes,'Philosopby tells ns tbat nothing is
lost.
For thirty years past we bave met as
Post,
Oh, my comrades long ago, we were a
small host,
Our record is closing, life's tale is most
told,
We were young and were gay, but now
we are old.
There are few to say here, to the roll call
to-day,
Many answered death's angel that called
them away,
We too soon shall hear, when our earthly
cares are done,
And we take a longing look at scenes be
neath the sun.
Let us enjoy life's harvest now let us
gather the sheaves,
Where blossoms were springing in among
the fading leaves,
Tbs stream runs but slowly that was
swift in the spring,
May we all be ready to hail our Father
and Kiug.
And a our time glows shorter, and swift
ly flits away
May we grow more Joyful with each pass
ing day,
And now In closing may I truly quote,
That verse on tbe life of man that great
Horner wrote.
"Like leaves on trees the life of man is
lound,
Now green in youth now scattered on the
ground,
Another race the following spring supplies
They fall successive, and successive rise. "

Q" "" O
HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY.
That Throat Trouble.
If the throat is rough and the
voice bourse, relief can be had
by packing it In wet cloths over
night Wring out a thick wash
cloth from cold water, put It
around the neck, covered by a
piece of flannel nnd a thick tow
el or oiled silk. There is no dan
ger in this remedy if one is suf
ficiently protected nnd the cloth
ing Is not allowed to get damp.
This will also stop a hacking
