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.

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.

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

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."

Louis Kraeer of Sheffield Saturday
stated tbat in ail probability tbe deep
well being drilled near Barnes, Warren
eounty, would be abandoned. Tbe well
was started aeveral months ago and it
was determined to make a thorough test
of tbe strata surrounding tbat territory
by drilling It as deep as possible. Tbe
well was run down until tbe bole was
about 5,000 deep, when a strata of mud
lava waa reached. This was cased off
and the well shot downward until it was
6,208 feet In depth. Then tbe tools were
lost and since tbat time about nine
months' fishing work has been Indulged
lu. Tbe tools cauuot be recovered aud
progress bas been stopped. Another deep
well is being drilled In Tioga county and
it is down sbont 6,000 feel, and work will
be continued as long as possible upon it.
