ROCKEFELLER CRUSHES A MAN
Buying Up Village to 6et Control of a
Tavern.
Tarrytown, N. Y., Nov. 28.
The ways of John D. Rockefeller are
many when he wants to accomplish
anything.
For three years he has vainly en
deavored to buy John J. Melin's
property in Briggsville, a village near
the oil magnate's large estate here.
Melin keeps a tavern on the road
to the Standard Oil king's home. It
if obnoxious to Rockefeller, and he
has frequently tried to get possession
of the land.
He has even attempted to get
Melin's license revoked, but Melin
has beaten him.
When Rockefeller realized he had
failed to budge Melin, he decided to
take the tavern keeper's business
away from him. He proceeded to
buy up Briggsville.
If Mr. Rockefeller purchases the
whole village and ousts the tenants
there will be nobody to patronize
Melin, who must then close out at
Rockefeller's price.
Rockefeller's many purchases have
had their effect on Melin. whose busi
ness has dwindled until he is losing
money.
Melin is willing to sell now, but
Rockefeller has withdrawn al! offers.

SCHUYLER.
MR. EDITOR: —We have been enjoying
beautiful weather the past two weeks.
It was cold in the mornings, but as soon
as the sun arose it would clear off and lie
very pleasant. It was hazy during the
day, as it usually is during the Indian
Bummer season. Farmers have taken
advantage of this period to get their out
door work done before winter sets in.
Quite a good deal of plowing has been
done.
Our cider mills are still doing business
at the old stands.
Monday was the coldest day of the
season up to this time.
Mr. Simon Jarrett visited his father,
S. H. Jarrett, on Thanksgiving Day.
William Marr's new barn has been
completed, and is now ready for occupa
tion.
From what I can leaan there will be
considerable moving among tenant farm
ers next spring.
Saturday was a squally day and by
evening the ground was covered with
the "beautiful."
Thanksgiving Day was cloudy and
gloomy, being quite a contrast to the
fine weather we have been having.
Miss Ethel M. Foulk. of the Williams
port Commercial College, spent the
Thanksgiving vacation at the home of
her parents.
Mr. Harry McKee, of Geneva, New
York, has been spending a part of hia
honeymoon at the home of A. J. Levan.
Fie returned to his home last week.
John R. Derr sold his farm to Frank
Eilis, of Exchange, and bought the Car

Warrior Hun Lodge, No. 645, I. O. O-

on Thursday evening, Dec. 8. There
will be addresses by Revs. T. O. Stein, J.
H. C. Mainfold and Mr. A. F. Heller, a
member of the Lodge. These occasions
are always interesting.
The teachers of our township are en
joying their usual yearly outing at the
institute. Well, that is all right if they
derive any benefit from their presence at
the institute. If these meetings are in
tended to give the teachers ideas, so as
to improve their methods of teaching
why are they not held at the beginuing
of the school term and not wait until the
term has lieen taught one haW of its
length ? If the schools are to be bene
fitted, then these institutes should be
held earlier. If they are only intended
to give the teachers a good time then
why not abolish them and save expense?
My opinion of these institutes will not
tally with those of others, but I cannot
help it.

Want to Change Pole.
A number of the School Directors are
very much dissatisfied with the loca
tion of the trolley pole that has been
placed on the Walnut street side of
the Third Ward Soliool building. The
polo stauds too far inside the pave
ment audit is the sense of the Board
that <t should either be placed against
the building or outside of the ourb

A committee was appointed to wait
upon Mr. Pasooe aud see if the pole
could not be removed to a more oou
veuiout plaoe before the wires were
attaohed.

DANVILLE MAN IN TROUBLE
Arrested by Citizens of Allentown (or
Operating a Scheme.
Several citizens of Allentown, liave
preferred charges against Ralph A.
Fcnlke, of Danville, Pa., who. it is as
serted, operated a "get-rich-quick"
scheme there. He is accused of obtain
ing money under false pretense, tbe
prosecutors being Paul Livingood, Eliner
Hunter, Thomas C. Sincoe, C. Mengel.
George Rothermel, George J. Keinsley
and Walter Oswald. The amounts in
each case vary from $17.50 to S4O.
Foulke gave bail in Danville for his ap
pearance in Allentown next week.
Foulke's scheme, it is said, guaranteed
dividends of over 65 per cent in ten
weeks, or nearly 340 per cent, a year.
Foulke, it is asserted, represented the
Keystone Commission Company of Dau
ville, and received subscribers to the
stock of the company, tbe subscribers
paying $5 dowu and (11.25 a week for ten
weeks, a total payment of $17.50. The
stock was then to lie worth $28.50, and
could be redeemed in cash by the com
pany or the share-holder could receive a
diamond valued at $32.50. These enor
mous profits, Foulke, it is said, assured
the investors, would accrue from the
payments ol subscribers who failed to
continue their payments.
The time for the distribution of divi
dends came, but Foulke. it is alleged,
was not ready to make payments. —Sun-

GRANDPA FROG LIVED
IN A WELL 53 YEARS.
Danbury, Conn., Nov, 30.—The
granddaddy of all the frogs, a huge
fellow, was found today in a closed
well that was dug fifty-three years
ago and forgotten. Everything goes
to prove that this venerable frog had
lived in the well for more than half a
ceutury, although it may have taken
underground excursions along tho
vein of water that feeds the well.
Just as fish living in the ocean's ex
treme depths and in caverns are
sightless, so this patriarchal frog
kept its eyes shut when it was ex
posed to daylight and. removed from
its long accustomed dwelling place, it
died in half an hour.
The well, dug in 1851, stood in
what was the front yard of the Pearco
mansion, nil old house even ill this
old town. The mansion has been
moved anil on its site is being erected
a business block. A workman dig
ging yesterday struck a large flat
stone several feet be!ow the ground's
surface. The stone was removed,
the well was exposed, its wall thickly
covered with vegetation. Out of tho
water, which was fifteen feet below
the well's mouth, projected a rock,
and on this was seated grandpa frog,
monarch of all it darkly surveyed.
The fiog was as green as the slimy
water and the plants that clung to
the oozy walls.
