Kelley. ■William D. Kelley, who for nearly thirty years had repiesented one of the districts of Philadelphia in Congress, and who tra» known as the "Father of the House.' died at his hotel in Washington, D. C., last Fri day, aged 76 years. Judge Kelley had attended alike to pub lic and private dnties until a few weeks be fore his deatn, and, although an intense sufferer from a complication of diseases, his tremendous will power had time and again carried him through attacks of sick ness and suffering which would have stricken down less powerful constitutions. The old protection warrior fought a gal lant fight to the last, and death only con quered six years after the Judge had pass ed the alloted life of man. Judge Kelley will always be known in American politi cal history as one of the ablest and most eloquent defenders of the national policy of protection. He will, moreover, rank as one of the greatest of American authors and parliamentarians. In debate few men could copo with him, and in some of the more important historic debates on the tar iff he has shown himself as unquestionably the best equipped man on that question on the floor. It is safe to say that no other living man ever mastered the details of the tariff as Judge Kelley did. His mind was a complete storehouse of facts and figures relating to the history of every protected article. He never forgot anything. He could remember witn the most remarkable minuteness conversations, speeches and incidents which happened a generation, and even half a century ago, better than some men remember the occurences of yesterday. His memory was simply prod igious. As a statesman Mr. Kelley was undoubt edly a very able man, with a large amount of both political foresight and political sa gacity. He was invariably in advance of his party —certainly in all matters relating to the tariff question. He was the man who stood fearlessly and defended the tar ifi and advocated the repeal of the internal revenue taxes when the more timid Repub lican leaders were squirming at the at tacks of the agents of British free trade in the United States. He was a man of great courage, of strong convictions, of unflag ging industry and remarkable persistency. He was absolutely an incorruptible man. His public career is without a single stain or suspicion. An active and influential man in public life during the corrupting period of the war and immediately follow ing, be never wavered frem the ster ling honesty of purpose which characteriz ed him as Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia, and while others yielded William D. Kelley stood forth, like Abraham Lincoln, a sincere, earnest, rugged representative of the common peo ple. Poor, perhaps, in worldly goods, Judgo Kelly leaves behind a reputation which is rich in what it teaches. His boyhood aud early struggles show what perseverance and study will do, if accompanied by honesty of purpose and earnestness of conviction. These struggles with hardship in the ear lier days of his career undoubtedly created a sympathy for the efforts and aims and ambitions of young men. There are many young who received thoir first lift in life from Judge Kelley. If he could help a young man bent on helping himself the great protectionist always did it. And when ho did it, it was done thoroughly. His friendship was worth that of an army ot ordinary men. More than one President of the United States has referred to the strength aud earnestness of Judge Kelley's friendship. Now that he dead the many splendid qualities of this fine old Aincri can statesman will be remembered and his death will be mourned from one end of the country to the other. Dead he is, but as his life slowly ebbed in the midst of the noise and bustle of a Washington hotel, it must have been a gratifying thought to the dying orator to feel that although he was about to pass through the shadow of the valley of death, the doctrine which he believed in so earnestly and truly never had such a strong hold upon the sixty-five millions of souls which make up this nation as it bas to-day. THE New York Press facetiously ob serves: "If the Pennsylvania coal miners want to strike it's all right, but they onght to have regard for the newspaper night editors and not begin at a town with such a name as Punxsutawney."

VALLEY FTRSACE, Jan. 13, 1990.—A few words to entertain the old readers of the CITIZE.V. You will understand by Yalley Furnace that the writer is some where in the mountains of W. Ya. In the first place to give our readers an idea of the country, I will explain the term. "Yalley Furnace." This is an old furnace, used some thirty years ago for making iron, which iron, after being made, had to be drawn by ox tcams a distance of one-hundred miles, to the nearest shipping point. Tho furnace is located in a beautiful valley and on a stream called Teaters Creek a branch of the Tygress river. The surrounding country is wealthy in miner als, such as Iron and Coal; the coal in some places shows a thickness of eleven feet, while the Iron ore vein is from five to twenty feet. This is one of the finest mineral countries we have. Now we will pass over Laurel mountain and take a ramble in the Cheat river and Cheat mountain timber fields. We come to a place called Alum Hill. At this point the river divides, one part bearing the name of Black Fork, the other Upper Cheat. Between these two rivers is one of West Virginia's great timber fields. There, in the dense forest where the woodman's axe has never been heard, is an ocean of timber wherein there is not a stick missing and the principal inhabitant is the bear and deer. This timber consists of walnut, cherry, ash, oak and pine. The writer being upon one occasion out on the Cheat Mts. forty miles from any habitation was without any lood for two days, but did not forget to look about him and view the large trees, viewing at one time, and without moving, thirty large poplar trees which would make at least 45,000 feet. This is only one place among many. This timber is accessable by water and will in time be one of the greatest lumber yards in the U. S. Why, sirs, the wealth of West Virginia has scarcely been tapped. Admitting that there has been a great deal taken out of this State, yet the worlds of timber and the mountains of »re and coal are s:jch that the mind can scarcely conceive of it. West Virginia as a farming country is superior to many other States, its climate being mild and pleasant. The soil is of a fine quality, very fertile and more especial ly along the river bottoms, where it is of a very dark color. This is but a very short ramble in this State, next time will be somo place else. H. W. E. Portersville. We are having a little winter mixed with our summer now.

We wish the young couple a pleasant and prosper ous journey through life. A number of our citizens went to work Saturday and laid qnite a substantial, if not beautiful, stone and ash walk from the meat market on "Christian flat" to the school house. The act was a commendable one, gentlemen, and we know that the blessings of a host of students and teacher as well, will be upon you for it. A number of young folks from the Mountville congregation with a few from the congregation of this place made a sur prise party for Rev. Ralston on Friday night week. The Reverend, however, equal; to the emergency, succeeded in making them enjoy themselves, and all left feeling that they had a pleasant time.

While this was an occasiou of sadness and sorrow, it was the only time, since uo»e children had left the maternal home o do for themselves, that they had all met together.

You will get One hundred cents worth of good re liable footwear at HUSELTON'S FOR EACH AND EVERY DOLLAR YOU PAY EVERYTIME, WHETH ER YOU BE MAN, WO MAN OR CHILD. Oar Goods are not marked up to admit of making you a present with each and every purchase as some little dealers do to try and catch trade. There must be something wrong with a business house that has to offer prizes and gifts to induce customers to buy from them; it does not sound as though their business was satisfactory to them. The buyers of Boots and Shoes nowdays are as smart as some dealers are; they fully understand, and don't expect $1.25 worth of shoe leather for $1.00; all they want is full value for their money, and buy as cheaply as their neighbors do at one straight price. They don't want to buy a shoe at 5i.25 with a little present thrown in worth ten cents or less which they should have paid $1 for, so you see how it goes. We don't give presents, but do present you with more solid leather for sl, and better styles than any shoe house in Butler county. B. C. HUSELTON. No, 4, N.
