FOR JURY COMMISSIONER,
A. O. Eberhart.
HARRIBBUHG ECHOES.
It is to be regretted that Governor
Hastings saw fit to veto the new fee bill.
It did not, as was stated, increase the
fees of constables, but merely made
them uniform and definite. The truth
ia that the fees in many instances were
reduced, and in few, if any, were they
increased. There is leal necessity for a
new fee bill. The Governor should re
consider his action in regard to this bill.
—Punx'y Spirit.
The Philadelphia members, who were
anxious about the passage of the Becker
bill, requiring all appointments in that
city to be confirmed by a three-fifths
vote of the select council, voted for the
bill providing for. the new method of
distributing the school appropriation in
order to induce country members to
vote for the Becker-bill. The Governor
vetoed the Becker Bill and signed the
other, In this deal the country mem
bers got the best of it.
Governor Hastings is certainly enti
tled to the thanks of all Pennsylvanians
for his fearless use of the veto power
this year. He has saved much money
that the Legislature iniprovidently at
tempted to squander, and he has pre
vented the enactment of several foolish
laws and some harmful, ones Among
the latter was the bill providing that
municipalities could not establish elec
tric-lighting plants without first buying
out those already established. This
was very much like the water-works
bill of two years ago, and fortunately
it met a similar fate. It is to be devout
ly hoped that the Commonwealth may
never lack a Governor with courage and
wisdom enough to stand firm for the
protection of the tax-payers, for recent
experience shows that the average mod
ern legislator is as regardless of fairness
and equity as he is of constitutional re
strictions. —Wellsboro Agitator.
Governor Hastings signed an act pro
viding for transportation for the sur
viving Pennsylvania soldiers who took
part in the engagements at Chickamau
ga and Chattanooga as follows: The
Twenty-seventh, Twenty-ninth, Forty
sixth, Seventy-fifth, Seventy-seventh,
Seventy-eighth, Seventy-ninth and one
hundreth and eleventh Regiments Penn
sylvania Infantry, and for the Seventy
ninth and Fifteenth Regiments of Penn
sylvania Cavalry, and (Muchler's) Inde
pendent Battery E. Pennsylvania Light
Artillery.
Monuments have been erected to mark
the positions of the above organizations
on the battle fields of Chickamauga,
Wauhatchie, Brown's Ferry, Orchard
Knob, Lookout Mountain, Missionary
Ridge and Ringgold, and the act em
powers the Governor to appoint a day
for the dedication of the aforesaid mon
uments to be called "Pennsylvania
Day." The dedication shall be under
the control of the Executive Committee
of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga Bat
tefields' Commission.
WASHINGTON.
J. J. McGarvey was granted a pen
sion, but he was not appointed P. M.
for Harrisville as reported.
John C. McCollongh of Chicora has
been placed on the pension list.
Pension Commissioner Evans has is
sued a statement that on July 1 the pen
sioners numbered 983,258, an increase of
12.850 for the last year.
During the year 50,101 new pensions
were granted and 3,971 persons were re
stored to the rolls. Old age and disease
however,are working great inroads into
the lists, for there were 31,960 deaths
during the year. Other sources of loss
were 1,074 from remarriages of wlJows;
1,845 orphans attained majority; 2,683
failures to claim pensions, and 4,560
losses from unrecorded causes.
Juneau's Picture of It.
H. Juneau of Dodge City, Kan., who,
with his brother, 3. Juneau, founded
the town of Juneau, Alaska, now count
ed as the leading citizen of the famous
territory, has an interesting story to
tell of tne dark side of life on the Upper
Yukon. Mr. Juneau spent several
years in Alaska and helped lay out the
streets of the town which now bears
his name.
Mr. Juneau says he sees no reason
for advising travel by the Yukon route,
which is over 2,500 miles longer than
the Chilkoot pass road to the Klondyke.
He tells a plain unvarnished tale of the
hardships which must be encountered
and adds his voice to the cry of warn
ing coming from experienced men
everywhere against leaving the seacoast
for the interior without provisions and
supplies ample for at least a year.
He says practically all the packing
across the pass must be done by
Indians, as the use of horses or mules is
impossible because there is nothing in
the hills for them to eat and hay is cost
ly-
In speaking of his early experience in
Alaska Mr. Juneau said:
"I helped lay out the town in 1881
and have been there several times since.
We first named the place Harrisburg.
but the people changed the name after
a year or two. I have found the coun
try full of disappointments and I don't
want to naint the picture too bright.
Enough nas not been said of the dark
side.
"It is no place for men of weak
stitutions. The hardships to be encoun
tered require the strongest hearts and
sinews as well.
"I have seen nothing published of the
fact that a large portion of the country
is covered with a moss and vine which
contains sharp thorns, like porcupine
quills, with saw edges. These will pene
trate leather boots, and when once in
the flesh nothing but a knife v,''ill remove
them. These are worse than the mos
quito pest.
"Another thing which muHt not be
over looked is the total lack of law in
the interior. When only Indians and a
few prospectors were in the country
there was little need of courts, but with
the great influx of mixed humanity law
lessness is almost sure to break out.
"When I was there the laws had ex
isted in name only. The miners adopt
ed the laws and put them in force.
Alaska was in about the same condition
os No Man's land before it was put into
Oklahoma territory. The people had to
agree to establish law It was so order
ed and proclaimed. One feature vf the
law was that the Chinese were to be ex
cluded; and that law holds good in
Jnneau today.
"Along the seacoast Alaska presents
a grand ni d picturesque view for miles
in extent, from an ocean steamer. It is
a good Idea to get acquainted with Alas
ka and enjoy its scenery. It is a grand
country to visit, and its scenery sur
passes any mountainous scenery in
the worldL Travel 011 water can be pro
vided for in comfort and be enjoyed
without great risk of danger.
"Alaska is a country on edge. It is so
mountainous. Baisins are mainly filled
with ice. The weather is always hard
in great extremes. Where there is no
ice there is moss and devil's club, the
latter a vine that winds around every
thing it can clutch. Persons walking
become entwined in a net work of moss
and devil's club, and a passage is so ex
tremely difficult and 'torturous.'
POLITICAL.
Attorney-General McCormick was
asked the other evening, if he had seen
the interview with Richard R. Quay in
a Philadelphia paper wherein the yonng
man said: "McCormick is the last man
in the the State whom my father would
snpport for Governor. The Attorney
General replied:
"Yes; I have read it with mnch in
terest, becan.se it bears evidence of be
ing authoritative."
' Do yon desire to say anything in re
ply?"
"I cannot say that I desire to do so
but I think it only fair that in this pub
lic way I should acknowledge the com
pliment bestowed upon me. I have never
considered the question of being a can
didate for Governor, have not even talk
ed about it with my closest frienbs. I
suppose ther« must be a million people,
more or less, eligible to the office of
Governor of Pennsylvania, and to be
selected as 'the last man whom my
father would support' f>s an unexpected
compliment. The man whom Senator
Quay supports for Governor next year
he will, as a matter of course, expect to
control, aDd thus prevent independent
judgment on the part of the executive.
This is a price no self-respecting man
can pay for the Gubernatoral nomina
tion. Hence the implied compliment
in being tire last man in the State
whom my father would support. "
The Attorney General lias never com
promised and he stands on his record in
the Combine fight. In this respect his
position is stronger than the Governor s.
As the anti-Quav candidate for Govern
or the little Attorney General is sure
to be a factor in the battle next year.
In speaking of McClure's statement,
John G. Croxton, Treasurer of the
Business Men's League said:
"The interview given at Williamsport
by Atto.ney General McCormack. an
nouncing his satisfaction at the antipa
thy for any possible candidacy of his
manifested by the Quay family, I re
gard as a characteristic and thoroughly
manly utterance.
"Mr. McCormick's previous record in
the field of politics and as a moulder of
public office has shone him to be a man
frankly opposed to the methods by
which Mr. Quay has so long sought to
control the administration of the Com
monwealth. It is well for the community
that there should be within its limits
such a man as McCormick. His inter
view was merely the expression of his
attitude toward all such politics as
Quay stands for.
'As Attorney General and as close ad
viser to Governor Hastings, McCormick
has earned the gratitude of all the busi
ness men of the State by his constant
endeavors to secure the vetoing of the
bills which the Governor so recently
killed. These, as even the most casual
observer can discern, were the Quay
revenge for the business men's assault
upon his supremacy. Had they passed
they must have wrought incalculable
injury to all classes of citizens, and a
large share of the credit for rescuing
the State from the odium and misfor
tune they would have brought in their
train I am glad to freely accord to Mr.
McConnick.
"Dick Quay's declaration that the At
torney General is the last man his
father would choose for Governor need
not, therefore, be traced very far if one
desires to ascertain the origin of
Senator Quay's dislike. Mr. McCormick
has helped to upset too many promising
'jobs' to be much endeared to the senior
Senator from Pennsylvania.
At the Danphin county Republican
convention, Tuesday, every candidate
for office before the convention was
nominated, owing to the harmonious
influences exerted by the leaders of the
party days before the meeting of the
convention, and a motion to indorse
Quay for re-election was tabled.
Tlie Wonders of Alaska.
By Walkin' Wilier.
Here I stand on top of Alaska, most
marvelous country! Nothing under me
but the earth, nothing above me but
the sky. The force of gravity holds
me down, imagination lifts me up, and,
as I soar, I roar.
What are words? What are bushels,
cords, carloads of words in such a
place V Are they adequate to the tre
menduosity and the momentuosity of
the land? Nit!
I am paid SIO,OOO a day to describe
the country. lam worth more, but I
strike not. I am 55 years of age. I
know it all. My grandfather was a
German,and carried the first carload of
watch keys to the Sandwich islands.
Around me are crags and jags and
rags and snags, but all is silent, quiet,
calm, noiselefvj, hushed, speechless and
sul>dued. You can hear your heart
beats and sugar beets and the beetling
precipices.
My brother's uncle was a horse doc
tor, but the Klondyke is 800 miles away
to the misty north, and beans are 12J
cents a pound, in advance.
There stand the purple mountains,
high, lofty, elevated, tall, altitudinous.
I greet them, but still no sound, and
nobody calls the rounds.
We meet a man.
What news?
None.
How sad!
And there are the glaciers, cold,
frozen, chilly, frigid, icy. Even as I
gaze they silently glaze on, but they
have no roofs and there is water in
their cellars.
The Indians I see, too. They have
squaws and jaws and paws and maws
and laws and chaws. Yes; what have
they not chawn? And in their gardens
grow bulbuls and bolwleds and triangles
and their sweet-eyed gazelles crop the
herbage from the icebergs, while wild
jackpots wave in the languorous sum
mer air.
But I go to drag the truth from be
yond the Chilkoot, to ohromo the veri
ties on the shivery and shimmering
Yukon. The next chunk will come
from the tundra where the gold mount
ed grass roots penetrate the soil of the
auriferous Mecca. Till then, good-by.
I am lame in one leg.—Pittsburg Times.
Deserving of Death.
Parkersburg, W. Va., Aug. 9. Gov.
Atkinson has made a very vigorous ex
pression of his views on the punishment
that onght to lie given to a man who
leads another's wife astray, practically
stilting that such a person deserves
death at the hands of the injured bus
band The Governor's statement was
made in connection with the case of W.
S. Kimes. of this city Kimes discover
ed that Deputy Sheriff Benjamin Hall
had been intimate with his wife, and
shot him, only wounding him slightly,
however. The husband was arrested
and ordered to pay a heavy fine and
costs. Prominent business men, num
erous citizens, two ex-sheriffs and the
chief of police signed a petition to the
Governor asking that the fine and costs
be remitted to Kimes. The Governor
promptly did so, and in the order issued
says: "The only regret is that Kimes
did not kill Hall. He shot him four
times, but unfortunately did not kill
him." He says Hall ought to be yet
apprehended and imprisoned for life
Exit Kanis Cit>.
Karns City was incorporated in 1 875,
and named after Dune. Karns. at that
time one of the most active oil produ
cers in this county. The oil belt had
been traced from Venango county,
across the river above Parker and up
Bear creek; and the section of country
composing the southern part of Parker
township and northern part
of Fairview was found to be
particularly prolific. Petrolia and
Karns City became booming oil towns,
as was also Greece City after the dis
covery of what was called the "cross
belt."
Crude oil in 1873 was worth *4 a bar
rel, and it is estimated that a million
and a half dollars worth of oil was sold
from the 'old McClymonds' farm alone
on part of which Karns City stood.
Like Petrolia. Karns City was the
scene of several destructive fires, one of
which caused the death of eight per
The discovery of the cross belt and
the lower sands made the supply of oil
apparently unlimited, and caused the
price to drop gradually from £1 to 40
cents a barrel. That decline ruined
Dune Karns financially, as it did also
some of the wealthiest men in Butler,
who were "bucking the market" at that
time; and it enabled John Rockafeller
and his partners in the refining business
to get the start that has since given
them control of the whole business.
Dune Karns is yet living in Pittsburg.
His life is as much of a romance as that
of any man we know of, and is sketch
ed by John J. McLaurin, in his
"Sketches in Crude Oil" as follows:
"Stephen Duncan Karns. who had a
railroad and a town named in hi's honor
was a picturesque figure in the Arm
strong-Butler district. With his two
uncles he operated the first West Vir
ginia well, at the mouth of Burning
Spring run. in 1860. His experience at
his father's Tarentum salt wells enabled
him to run an engine, to sharpen tools
and to clean out an old salt well to be
tested for oil. The well pumped 40
barrels a day during the winter of
1860-1. Fort Sumter was bombarded,
several Kanawa operators were killed
and young Karns escaped by night in a
canoe. He enlisted, served threa years,
led his company at Antietam and Chan
cellorsville, and in 1866 leased one acre
at Parkers Landing from Fullerton Par
ker. His first well, starting at one bar
rel a day, by months of pumping was
increased to 12 barrels and earned him
fiu,ooo. From the Miles Oil Company
of New York he leased a farm and an
abandoned well a mile below Parker.
He drilled the well through the sand
and it produced 25 barrels a day. This
settled the question of oil south of Par
k«r. 'Dune,' as he was usually called
by his friends, leased the Parren farm,
drilled on Bear Creek, secured the fa
inous Stone-house farm of 300 acres and
in 1872 enjoyed an income of $5,000 a
dav. A mile south of Petrolia, on the
McClymonds farm, Cooper Bros were
about to give up their first well as a
hopeless duster. Karns thought the.
hole not deep enough, bought the prop
erty. resumed drilling and in two days
the well was flowing 100 barrels. The
McClymonds, Riddle and J. B. Camp
bell farms doubled Dune's big income
for many moons. He had the second
well at Greece City, and for a year or
two was the largest producer in the oil
region. He built a pipe line from
Karns City to Harrisburg to fight the
United lines, held $55,000 stock in the
Parker bridge, and controlled the Par
ker and Karns City railroad and the Ex
change bank.
"Near Freeport.on the Allegheny riv
er, 30 miles above Pittsburg, he lassoed
a great farm and erected a $50,000 man
sion. Fourteen race horses fed in his
palatial stables. Guests might bathe
in champagne and the generous host
spent money royally. A good strike or
a point gained meant a general jollifica
tion. He played billiards skillfully,
handled cards expertly "and wagered
heavilv on anything that hit his fancy.
He and his wife were in Paris during
the siege. Upon his return from Eu
rope he built the Fredericksburg and
Orange railroad in Virginia. The glut
of crude from Butler wells dropped the
price in 1874 to 40 cents. Losses of dif
ferent kinds cramped Karns, and the
man worth $3,000,000 in 1872-3 was
obliged to surrender Tiis stocks and lands
and wells and begin anew. James E.
Brown secured Glen-Karns, the beauti
ful home below Freeport. In 1880
Karns induced E. O. Emerson, the
wealthy Titusville producer, to start a
cattle ranch in Western Colorado. For
six years hp superintended the herds on
the immense plains, joinipg the round
up, sleeping on the ground with the
boys, roping and branding cattle, and
accumulating a stock of health and
muscle which he thinks will carry him
to the 100-year mark. Emerson had
bought from Karns the Riddle farm for
*II,OOO. Hp deepened one well, snppos
ed dry, to the fourth sand. It flowed
600 and Emerson sold the tract in 60
days for SOO,OOO.
"Karns returned from the West,prac

is of slender build and of n6fvi.vu tem
perament, easy in his manners, frank in
his utterances and not scared by spooks
in politics or trade. He had his share
of light and shade,struggle and triumph,
defeat and victory, incident and adven

"Karns's transit from waaUh to »enu
ry outrivaled the famous "Coal Oil
Johnny" Steele, about whom columns
have been written,many of the tales ex
aggerated and many pure inventions.
Karns was several times a millionaire;
Steele never had a million.

"One more year's work for Jesus,
One less of life for me, for you."
What have we accomplished this
year? Have we realized in all our
work that we are "laborers together
with God?" that in our strength we can
do nothing? Have we this year in all
our work been guided by Him? Have
we held aloft the royal standard?
God only knows wherein we Uavo
failed, and what motive has prompted
our work. It. is well for us to examine
often the motive that prompts our
work. It may be worldly and selfish.
We may be laboring to quiet conscience
or to be seen of men. God looks at the
motive.
Love is the greatest motive power in
the nniverse and should be the motive
power for service. If your work be
not the result of love's promptings the
effects will pass away like the morning
cloud and the early dew. Of such God
says; "They are as sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal." But what do our
reports show us of the year s work ? A
slow but steady growth; a greater wi)
lingriess on the part of the Endeavorern
to do more and better work.
We can report 45 Young People s

2000 1,300 active and 700 associate.

A dear wife and mother have gone
To her last resting place,
Where we all shall gather, one by
one.
After we have run life's race.
Death came like a thief in the night.
And stole her from her home;
But took her up to the mansions of
light.
Forever with the angles to roam.
Yon will know the love of your
mother
No more while time moves round,
Wrapped in her robe, she sleeps now
Beneath the cold, damp ground.
But, we know if she conld have
spoken
A kind word, a last farewell.
Ere life's brittle thread was broken.
It would have been that "all is
well"
And that her last wish would be
Ere earthly ties were riven,
"Walk close to God, come follow me
To our blessed home in heaven."
The child hits lost a dear, kind
mother.
The husband will mourn her loss.
But we know that death to her was
gain-
So we must meekly bear our cross.

Mci'ANDLESS' HEAVE CURE
I have a Heave Cure that will cure any
case of heaves in horses in forty days, if
used according to directions, and if it
does not do what I claim for it, I will
refund the amount paid and no charges
will be made for the treatment. The
following testimonials are the strongests
proof of the medicines power to cure:
A. J. McCandi.ess,
Butler, Pa., 1893.
Mr. A. J. McCandless:
On the 2nd day of April, 1592 I com
menced to nse your new cure for one of
my horses that had the heaves very bad,
and continued to use the medicine for
about forty days and the h >rse did not
show any signs of a return of them. It is
now about a year since I quit giving the
medicine and the horse has ;>ever showed
any sign of heaves, and I feel satisfied
that he i$ p foppj-ly cured.
W. C. Criswell.
Butler, Pa., April3o, 1893
