proved to be, and many households

40 below. At nine o'clock Saturday

20 to 2i degrees below zero, and at no

above tbe iro mark. So it was oold, you

Former Townsman A filleted.
Many friends in this community will
bear wilh regret of the affliction that bas
overtaken John Mueuzenberger, our
former townsman, now residing at Chica
go Heights, Illinois, He writes us ibat
on the 2d of la-t August he had a stroke
of paralysis which affected his left side,
For six weeks he was confined to bis bed
snd had to be fed like a child. He Is so
far recovered now as to be able to walk
about, but bia left arm Is yet quite useless
and he fears be will not again be able to
do any work. However, John takes his
trouble philosopically, and keeps as
cheerful as possible under the circum
stances. His son, Otto, was married in
June lasi, and be notes an increase in Ibe
family of bis son Charles to whom a
daughter waa born two months ago. Mr.
Moenzenherger encloses tbe tollowing
clipping from a recent issue of bis local

We note in some ol our exchanges the
publication of notices of application for
charters to be made to tbe Governor on
Feb. 1, 1012, for the incorporation of the
"Tlonesta Water Power Company."
There Is a strong suspicion that this Is
ouly another attempt to gobble up tbe
water rights on Tionosta creek, and to ac
complish by another way what proved a
failure last year through the strenuous
opposition of the people of this section.
Tbe people ol Clarion, Elk, Forest, Jeffer
son and Warren counties will have to be
on their guard or these rights will turn
up In tie hands of other people some day.
These water power oompanies, so-called,
seem determined to grasp them if It can
T
mil
done and tbey will accomplish their
ends unless the citizens rise in their
might and oppose them at every turn.
Tbe Republican was active in its op
position to tbe giagantlc schemes last
year and kept the public fully informed
ss to whst was going on, aud for thia
reaaon, no doubt, it is sought to punish it
by withholding the publication of the
notices of application for charters, and
running them In other papers who offered
little or no opposition. All ibe same we
Bhall not be derelict in our duty, but
shall be loyal to our people whatever the
pecuniary loss to us. The publication or
withholding of these notices shall not
close our eyes when the Interests of our
people are In jeopardy.
