Milwai'Kkb bas done away with so Clallam. But Mcialiaru was not really what made Wllwaukee famous, anybow. For Mr. Bryan to accept the post ol Ambassador to tbe Court of St. James might be construed as a confession of plutocratic means.

What are those Democrats going to pull off any way T If William Rockefeller ha-1 no start ling testl'i ony to Impart he night to give back tbe money tbat baa been spent by tbe Government In Its pursuit of him. At present Mr. Wilson seems to be what Disraeli said Gladstone was "a man without one redeeming vice," but tbe dutlea of bis exalted oltlce may save bim. Democrats who auggest automatically "relieving Republicans" of office on July 1 evidently contemplate something spec ial In tbe way of a Fourth of July cele bration. Frrak shipments by parcel post will tiot last long. Tbe Post Office is a practi cal, common-sense institution, and atamps have too close a resemblance to cash to be wasted. Remember dear good people if It gets yery cold around here you can order your coul right from tbe coal mines by parcel post, so don't worry about tbe weather any more. If all tbe people who flock to tbe White Bouse receptions to shake banda with President Tafc bad voted for him be would have been re-elected by an overwhelming majority.

Schartf, aMslstsnt civil engineer to Morris Knowles, was a brief Visitor In Tiooesta, Friday evening, leaving here on tbe six o'clock train north for Tidloule, be baying come from Clarion that day.. His visit to tbia sec tion was, as be said, to lepresent Mr. Knowles, who is carrying on a system of "education" for tbe Pittsburg Flood Commission In tbe matter of showing to tbe publio the great advantages to be de rived in allowing the water power sites of tbe state to be taken over by tba Wf'ir Power Trust, so tbat this gigantic nion-1 opoly may build great dama on such streams as tbe Allegheny river, Tiooesta creek, French creek, Clarion river, and in fact on every available stream lu tbe state to be used in developing electric power for tbe benefit of the Trust. Thit, in a few words, is the real object of tbe water grabbers, and their bluff of erect ing retaining dsma to control the floods tbat hamper Pittsburg la no longer ser iously considered by sensible people. In fact that scheme has been repeatedly turned down by their own experts aa in feasible. Mr. Seharff met a number of our citi zens and endeavored to persuade tbeui tbat tbe big dams would bt-a good thing tor tliem, but be made a miserable falluro in presenting any convincing argument, nd admitted tbat the water power people were also Interested la tbe schemes. A raid ia to be made upon tbe present Legislature of Pennsylvania for legisla tion tbat will allow tbe grab to proceed, and among tbe Important things sought for is tbe repeal of the law which Gov ernor Pennypauker aucceeded In having passed In 1005 taking away Irom tbe slate tbe power to grant tbe rigbt of eminent . domain to water companies. Charters granted without this power, tbe grabbers realize, are of no use to tbntn. If the schemers can educate the public up to the point of acquiescence iu this feature, they figure tbat the trick is done and tbe raid will go on. It ia lor Ibis purpose tbat Mr. Morris Kuows, civil" engineer in the employ of tbe "flood commission," is traveling over tbe state with a stereoptioon show lecturing on tbe "conservation of the State's water resources," rie Is to be in Oil City tomorrow, Thursday evening, to deliver bis leuture, and tbe public gen erally Is Invited to go and hear him, and we hope tbe people will turn out strong, and while listening to bis tale, we hope tbey will fire the questions at bim. Let tbe disctissiou take broad range, and let all tbe facts connected with these schemes be brought to light. In this connection tbe following item taken Irom Monday's editorial columns of tbe Oil (lily Derrick is enlightening: . Tbe recent flood bas given those who aie seeking to gain control of the water ways of the State a pretext for greater publicity of tbeir scheme. In a paper read before a recent meeting In Indian apolis, one of the speakers gave notice tbat it was Intended to see tbat proper legislation was parsed at tbe present ses sion of tbe Pennsylvania Legislature which would provide for the fullest reg v ulation of streams, "not only for the wel re nt ib general public, but also for -te capital." The latter purpose etbe obtect most anticipated 'ty boomers. Kellettville. Our town can report more rain than shine for the past week and in conse quence a great many people were some what Inconvenienced, but aside from the loss of some of the eatables stored In the cellars and a cmpulsory cessation of work for several daya, no damage baa been reported, Tbe teams were uuable to work in the woods, which made s scarcity of logs at the mills, and the water rose on Tuesday night so b'gh that the mills were forced to shut down for two daya. Trains were unable to run on Wednesday on account of the Immense slides along the track. Tbe meetings a tbe M. K. church were closed by tbe water in the basement, and cellars in general were flooded, and as It came unexpected ly scarcely any one waa prepared and in consequence some things were destroyed, and It took considerable work to clean up and save the rest. After the waters receded and tbe cellars were cleaned, the rain tbe last ol the week again raised the creek and some reported about three Inches of water in their cellars. Tbe water waa reported as reaching a higher itage up Salmon creek than ever before, but then bave been different times that It baa been higher in town. Mrs. Chester Pope was railed to St. Clairville, N. Y., Tuesday, by the illness of her aged mother at tbat place. W. L. Watson spent a portion of tbe week transacting business in Tlonesta.

The Atbletio Club gave an ice cream supper In the hall Saturday evening, and although it was a very rainy mgbt a good crowd was nut to enjoy tbe fishing, have tbeir fortune told and to partake of tbe refreshments. The Ice cream did not last until all had been fed, but a neat sum was stricken from tbeir obligations to tbi new ball by tbeir evening'a efforts. The mandolin club furnished music for the evening. The Founder of This Paper. Colonel J. W. U. Reisinger expects to depaVfSa'frirday for Arizona, to spend the remaierfr, of tbe winter with bis only son, Paul, who Is located In tbat far western State. Colonel Reisinger bas lived nearly four-score years on this planet. He was born at Beaver, Pa January .19, 1833,and will, If be continues to live until ibe 19th of tbe present month, reach the 80th mile stone. He came to Meadvllle with bis parents, Charles and Providence Keis inger,' in JMM.Vand was graduated Irom Allegheny college H4jf56,t the age of 23. He taught three lu thegratninar school at Evanaville, IndV returning to Meadvllle in 169. Responding to tbe call to arms, Colonel Reisinger enlisted as a member of tbe 150th P. V.., became captain, later was major of tbe 35lh regi ment, United States colored troops, and was finally promoted to lieutenant col onel. After the war, Colonel Reisinger turned his attention to journalism, and about 1W18 waa counected with The Bee, a weekly paper published at Tlonesta, For est county, In 1809 be purchased tbe plant of the Venango Citizen, a weekly paper published at Franklin, and in tbeantumn of 1870 became editor and proprietor of tbe Meadvllle Dally and Weekly Repub lican. This latoat position continued for a period of 13 years, tbe plant being sold In November, 1883, to Dr. T. L. Flood. Later Colonel Reisinger established tbe Meadvllle Gazette, a weekly paper, and waa at Its bead until the sals of tbe paper wss made to McCoy A Calvin. Colonel Reisinger is Meadvllle's oldest newspaper man in point of age. To speak of bis journalistic career during his service on tbe tbree papers Daily and Weekly Republican and Gazette may not be wholly out of place. His rivals were E. A. Hempstead, Colonel W. R. Andrews, R. B. Brown and Thomas W. Grayson, Mr. Hempstead, a retired journalist, Is the only one of the four now living. Colonel Reisinger used bis pen as a weapon, and the quartet of men men tioned were often rcored in terms not to be mistaken. Meadvllle Messenger. Col. Reisinger is pleasantly remem bered by all our older class of citizens, ss the founder of what is now the Fohkst Republican, 4t years ago the 4th of next March. Doubtless his memories of Tlo nesta are also tbe pleasantest ol his life, as It was here be met and Won as bis bride one of tbe noblest girls that ever lived. As tbe first boss for whom tbe writer' set bis first "stick of typo" we wish bim a pleasant winter's sojourn in tbe congenial climate of Arizona and a safe return to bis friends in the east.

In many places tbe creek seemed too narrow and tbe water went out over tbe lowlands and covered all the low lying parts snd things that lay on them. At Minister the path bridges were taken out, and tbe South Penn Oil Co. bad a gas line broken and some power rigging thrown down. As yet there bss been no reports of oil lines being broken and we are almost certain they bave escaped damage aa there waa but a faint show ofoil on tbe Hood wet eta, J The pump station here, as usual, bad itK big water In the buildings, but aa it la al most In the creek bed we expect this. This time the water was up to the win dows but no damage was done to tbe machinery by tbe water. The railroad was the heaviest loser in this flood here, as tbey missed some trips and had a lot of repairing to do to tbe track. Their telephone line was crippled by some poles falling Into tbe creek, but com munication was made between Blue Jay and Kellettville by patching with the Private Line lately put up by Rupert and bis friends. Some call it a buttermilk line but tbat doesn't hurt the working ol it in tbe least. The railroad got ita line cleared Thursday afternoon and on Fri day everything was going all right again. The shade Ireea around tbe church at Minister are disappearing for firewood and the parties have been notified, so we are hoping It will cease. Thia makes tbe lot look pretty ragged. Win. Meager and David Cole bave both returned from tbe hospital at Warren and are doing nicely alter being trimmed up in the operating room. Mrs. James Little&eld went toTlona on Tuesday and was kept out longer than was her Intention by tbe high water, but returned when tbe train got ita footing again. Tbey will live with E. L.

There are four Interesting papers given to each family and tbe Infant class bas a nice cbild'a paper and picture cards, No doubt tbe school will be a success ibis summer If tbe parents will help a very little to Increase tbe attendance. James Welsh of Balltown cut bis band while chopping wood last Friday but it is not considered serious. Maurice and Robert Burdick, former boys of tbe place, are now working for the Penna Railroad Co. at Oil City, and were home over Sunday last but returned to duty on Monday moraweg. Tbey are both firing. " Mr. Rhodes, Rolland Daly and Mr. Briggs and son were at Kellettville on Tbuisday last and were obliged ' to walk as tbe tiain did not run. ' . We felt tbe cold weatber of the past two days because we were used to moderate temperatures before tbat and the cold seemed awful. Lament Religious Apathy. In Japan all kinds of Christians are lamenting the religious stagnation that seems to have settled on the country, says a writer In America, a Roman Caiholic paper. Of the 65,000 Catho lics, 40,000 are descendants of the con verts of the seventeenth century, and the Greek Catholics have only 20,000 followers. "After 40 years of evange lization there are only somewhere be tween -80,000 and 100,000 Protestants of all sects," says the writer, who adds that the Japanese are not irreligious, but "like other peoples they are suf fering from the religious apathy and unconcern the. times. Just as In Eiiropejrnd America, the modern Jap anese adore the golden calf and, as elsewhere, are struggling for money and place, the natural result of the adoption of a materialistic civiliza tion." California Woman Seriously Alarmed. "A short time ago I contracted a aevere cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of annoyance. I would have bad coughing spells and my lungs were so sore and Inflamed I began to be seriously alarmed. A friend recom mended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saying she bad used It for years. I bought a bottle and it relieved my cough the first night, and in a week I was rid of tbe cold snd soreness of my lungs," writes Miss Marie Gerber, Sawtelle, Cat. For sale by all druggists. Adv.
