Mechlins:, of Harnett township, aa a can dictate for Assembl , subject to the de cision of the Republican voters at the primariea, April 13th. Bt all appearancea Dr. Sun Yet Sen Is president o( the United States of China, but the question is, can be stay put. His troubles will come w hen he begins to distribute a few hundred Chinese post offices among- 4iW.000.000 democrats. For "dead one" Theodore Roosevelt seems to be getting a good deal of front psge space in tbe metropolitan news papers these days. Is there a beu on, or what? Pumy Spirit. Now, there xnought be, but we think not, Thr mention of Roosevelt still con tinues to throw some people Into fit spasm. After hammering away at bint for years and only making him stronger with tbe American people, suppose these hirelings and trust tuckers should wake tip some morning and Bud that Teddy bad acceeded to tbe demand of tbe plain people and permitted himself to be nomi nated for President. Wouldn't it be fun to see tbe rata scampering (or coveif Thr next Republican state convention will be held In Uarrisburg on May 1st, that date being agreed upon by the State Committee. Tbe convention will nomi nate candidates for Auditor-General aud State Treasuier, four congressman-at-large and 38 presidential electors. The primaries will be held on Saturday, April 13, at which time congressional, senatorial and legislative candidates will be nomi nated, and delegates to tbe national and state conventions will he elected. In selecting nominee for Congress-men-at-lsrge more attention should be paid to tbe calirtre of tbe men than to tbe locality in which they rislde. Tbe little felli.ws wbo claim recognition on account of tbe section in which they raalde.sbould not be tsken seriously. W hen a body ol representative nen meet in convention tbey ought to sot the example ol picking out the best material to be bad without regard to localities. Punx'y Spirit. We agree most emphatically with thia sentiment. Hence it Is that we "rise in our place and present to tbe chair" the namn of tbe lion. W. O. Smith, of Punx eulawney, as one of tbe four to be nomi nated. " When Gov. Wood row Wilson, tbe lead ing Democratic Presidential aspirant wrote to a friend, some five years ago, this plebean senteuce: "Would thst we could do something, st once dignified and effective, to knock Mr. Bryan once for all into cocked hat," ha had no thought that the chicken would so soon come borne to roost. It is likely Mr. Bryan will call upon Woodrow to swallow those worda before be will move to make tbe nomination unanimous. In tbe meantime the effort to adopt tbe "cocked hat" as the new party emblem will doubtless be kicked Into smithereens by the Demo cratic mule. 'Tis querr, indeed, how some philoso pher's strike tbe keynote every time they want to, seemingly almost with their eyes shut. Now here's how Smith, Ph. D., of the Punxy Spirit bits off a long felt "ueed," and you'll notice bow artisti cally be does tbe trick: "This is a queer world, anyhow. When prices are low we look sad and glum, and renew our notes, and wait and hope for better prices. When prices are high we scream and tear our hair, and howl about the cost of liv ing, and want to Jump on tbe monopolies and combines and the tariff with both feet. What we really need is anme In spired statesman wbo can dispose of everything we have to sell at high prices and buy everything we need at low prices, TiiK Franklin News says: "Tbe fact that half of the 13,200 of fines, recently imposed by court for violations of tbe liquor laws, goes to tbe law library was news to most people. This provision Is in the laws placed on tbe statute books by members of the legal profession, wbo usually make up tbe majority in all legislative bodies. But tbe average lay man la of tbe opinion that tbe money should go to acme oVjectlbat would bene fit tbe people generally, such as public li braries or tbe hospitals, or even all into tbe county treasury. No club or otber organization is partially maintained In this way. ' With all due respect to tbe disciples of Blackstone we contend that it waa not fair to thus take advantage of us poor laymen." Which moves tbe Oil City Blizzard to remark that "there is ap parent no more reason for turning it over to tbe law library than to tbe Paresis club." Or, persd ven lure, tbe beef trust. Whig Hill. How cold Is l(T Don't Juat exactly know. Some thermometers register 31 degrees below zero in tbe shade, while others actually went down out of sight. Wbat do we do this cold weatberT V by some are bustling to keep warm, some are drawing logs, some are cutting and drawing wood, and some are humped up over tbe stove like a bound over a much pot. Oh, yes, we all have our difierent occupations. All kinds of people to make up the world. How do ibe people take tbe cold weather? Well some take It cool, while some others take it different. Nobody frozen yet. One family moved in tbe cellar but tbe frost lias now caught tbem. Potatoes In the cellars are being frozen. Home have put stoves in to keep their fruit and potatoes from freeziug. Yes, tbe cold weather Is sitting herd on a good many and is catching them where they live. We don't know how cold it is at this writing, hut Ibe lea kettle froze up on tbe stove and we have to keep our mittens on to put in tbe wood.. We will try to pull through until Feb. 2d and then we will come out of our dens as gold tried in the tire. Delbert Decker enrolled at tbe Clarion Normal last week and expects to stay with the school until he gets through with all bis studies. Miss Coral Price, who underwent sn operation some time ago, is again sick and is not doing as well as we would wish.

Murder of the Wlgtnn Family, Near Butler, by a Cornplanter Iutllnn, Sixty-six Tears Ago. Written by F. E. Allison, Xebraaka, Samuel Mobawk was an Indian born on tbe Cattaraugus Reservation, atate of New York, on Christinas dsy, December 23i b, A. D. 1807. In bis esrly boyhood be attended a Quaker school, where be learned to read and write. When about 18 years of sge he adopted the early pre cedents of the Indiau tribe, viz: Trap ping, fishing and bunting. In 1830 be took up a piece of land and began (arm ing and married a squaw named Lydia Kipps. Sam. Mohawk was so abusive that she In tbat early day applied for and secured a divorce. We do not know whether tbe divorce was granted by In dian customs or by the Cattaraugus oounty court. About a year later he married a squaw named Sarah Silver heels and resided ou his farm lor Ibe next ten years. On the 24tb of June, A. D. 1843, he with a lull crew of Indiana started on a log raft lying at the Reservation for Pittsburgh. Four days later they landed at Uerr'a Island, tbe Indian crew putting up at tbe Allegheny House, kept by a German named Fehl, now the Hotel Boyer, and the following morning seven of tbe Indians started home. Kd. Purse, Sam. Mobawk and another Indian, name unknown, remained over to see the sights in the city. On the morning of the 2!Ub, wben tbe stage coach drove up to the Allegheny House for passengers, ibe three Iudiaua were the first to enter tbe coach, all occupying the back seat, Sam, Mobawk having a quart flask In bis out side coat pocket. About six otbera got loto tbe stage coach and ons on the "boot" with the driver. When about half way to Butler Mobawk began quar reling with tbe unknown Indian, using abusive snd profane language, but find In bis Indian friend invincible, be turned to a white passenger named Bill Sborlls or Sbtitts, sn old river pilot from the vicinity of Bmketistraw. SbutU would resent an insult as quick ss a schoolboy would remove bis band from a red hot stove. Sbutts called to tbe driver to stop and put the drunken In dian out of ibe stage. Tbe driver In a commanding voice 'old them tbey bad belter behave and keep still. This aroused tbe dignity of Sbutts wbo in lan guage more forcible than polite swore If he did not stop and put tbe Indian out, be would whip both bun and the Indian. Tbe driver checked bis borses, came down from bis seat and was In tbe act of open ing tbe stage door, wben Sbutts grabbed tbe drunken Indian by the shoulders, jerked bun over the seat in trout and ahoved hlin bfad first out of the stage onto the ground, where bexemained lu a dazed condition. He then ordered tbe driver to get on bia seat and drive off, tbe order being obeyed without any hesita tion. Tbe stage was fairly under bead way wben tbe Indian arose from tbe ground aud picking op some stones at tempted to follow. Tbe driver whipped up tbe team and was soon out of sight Oo thst evening be reached Butler and took tbe Mercer stage for the old Stone bouse Tavern. He was very insolent and in a quarrelsome mood wben be left Butler aud for reasons unknown be left tbe Mercer stsge and turned up at tbe village of Prospect and on account of bis drunken condition aud quarrelsome dis position was thrown out of the hotel. Where be spent tbe balance of tbe night is unknown. THE WIGTON MURDKK. On the moruiug of June 30; b. James W'igton, a farmer, and husband and father of tbe murdered family, arose early and went to his lather's farm to borrow a small corn plow, Ibe distance being less than a mile from bis farm. His mother prevailed on him to remain and take breakfast with them. Wigton a score of years later while talking with tbe writer said: "This waa tbe greatest mistake of my whole life, remaining aud visiting a half or three quarters of an hour, while tbe family was preparing breakfast." Here bis voice faltered and he exclaimed, "Oh, my God! While I was there visit ing a dronken Indian was beating my poor wife and children's brains out with a stone." With quivering cbin and big tears rolling down bis cheeks, our con versation ended, Tbe vivid recollection of tbat morning was too sad for him to recall. Samuel Mohawk's statement to Pro fessor Smitbe, teacber: "Me comedown tbe river on a rsft. We start home in stage. Big white man throw tne out of wagon. Me walk tar and me come to Butler hotel. Me hungry. White man throw me out bis barroom. Then me get on another stsge sgain snd driver run off and leave me too. Me go to tavern at Prospect.

She fell down. Me took a stone snd struck heron the bead. Me thought sbewasdesd. Me went into the bouse wi'b tbe stone.

Me went out to the spring and got a drink and come back. Heard a child crying op stairs. Me went up stairs with a big stick and bit It three timea on the head. Me beard another child crying aud moaning. Me went up again snd struck another child on the head. It was laying on a big bed. It made no more noise.

ANDREW CARNEGIE TELLS STEEL TRUST SECRETS 8ays He Was a Fool to Sell Out for Only $430,000,000 Derides the Sherman Law. Washington. Andrew Carnegie faced the Stanley Steel Committee during IiIb relations to the Iron and steel industry lu America. It waa a characteristic narrative which the re tired "Ironmaster" gave to the com mitteegraphic, and at times drama tic. Throughout the ordeal, which be came grueling In the afternoon, Mr. Carnegie professed to be "blissfully lgnoraut of the details" of the Carne gie Steel Company. Probably the most striking part In his testimony was his story of how, through the mediation of Charles M. Schwab, he sold the Car negie Steel Company, under the super vlBlon of J. P. Morgan & Co., for $420,000,000 to tbe syndicate which formed the United States Steel Cor poration. "What a fool I was to sell out to the Steel Corporation for only $420,000, 000!" exclaimed Mr. Carnegie with mingled feelings of emotion. "I have since learned from the Inside that we could have received $100,000,000 more from Mr. Morgan if we had placed that value -on our properties." A glimpse into some of his relations with the Yanderbllts, Goulds, and the pioneers in the Pennsylvania system was given, and when he reached what he regarded as his clever acquisition of vast ore rights, under reasonable royalty payments from John D. Rocke feller, joy brightened the eyes of the witness, and he exclaimed: "Do you know, It makes my heart feel .good to feel that I was such a man as to be able to get ahead of John D. Rockefeller on that deal. That la the one time I managed to get the best of my fellow-mllllonaire." Mr. Carnegie had just told the com mittee about his deal with Mr. Rocke feller whereby he obtained control of Mr. Rokefeller's Iron ore holdings In the Lake Superior region at a rate of 16 cents a ton holdings which, when turned over to the Steel Corporation later, formed a large part of the as sets valued at $700,000,000, or $1 a ton. Carnegie declared, In relation to the celebrated $2,000,000 option In 1899 on his holdings, which was lost by the givers, that he did not then realize that his partners, Henry C. Frick and Henry Pblpps, were trying to get con trol of the properties. Carnegie denied vehemently that he had ever in his life received a rebate from the railroads. For the first time definite revela tion was made of the chubs that led to the famous break between Carnegie and hla partners, Frlck an4 Pblpps. Carnegie kept $1,170,000 of the option money in May, 1899. On Dec. 4, 1899, Frlck In a court action declared that Carnegie "suddenly and malevolently" demanded his resignation. Frlck al leged that Carnegie was trying to con fiscate Frlck's Interest In the Carne gie Company at about 32 per cent, of Its value or not over $6,000,000 for what on the basis of Carnegie's option was worth $16,238,000. A crowded committee room greeted the Ironmaster. Many women were In the audience, and some of them stood for hours as the Laird of Sklbo, half Touched In the witness chair, stroking his gray reard and banging the table alternately, told the story of how $1,600, borrowed In 1863, had grown to $420,000,000 In thirty-odd years. Mr. Carnegie indulged In pleas antries, was quick at repartee, used many epigrams and otherwise gave an exhibition of a remarkably active and alert mind. Carnegie told the committee that he never bothered his head about the Sherman anti-trust act. "I had more engaging subjects," said Mr. Carne gie. RICHESON TO DIE IN CHAIR. Minister Calmly Hears Court Inflict Extreme Penalty. Boston. With the appearance of a man who had abandoned all hope of life, the Rev. Clarence V. T. Rlcheson stood at the bar of justice, declared his guilt of the premeditated murder of his former sweetheart, Miss Avis Ltnn4l, and heard without a tremor the words of Judge Sanderson that condemned him to death in the elec tric chair on the week beginning May 19, 1912. The District Attorney announced that the State had a conclusive case aside from Richeson's confession, which be included in the text of his motion for sentence. The Judge then explained the nature of first degree murder and pronounced sentence in these words: "You are charged here with the murder In the first degree of Miss Avis Linnell and it becomes my pain ful duty to Impose tbe sentence pro vided by statute for such a crime," said Judge Sanderson. "I sentence you to be committed to the Charles street Jail, to remain there until ten days prior to Sunday, May 19 next, then to be removed to the Charlestown prison and there at some time during the week begin ning May 19 to suffer death by means of electricity passing through your body."
