A plan has been arranged by which
the section oi Tree Planting of the
Division of Forestry will combine
lecturing with ita practical field
w.irk for the purpose of interesting
the public in the subject. When an
official of this section of the Divisi
on is called to any portion of the
United States where planting i? es
pecially desirable, he will arrange
for a series of meetings of land own
ers, to whom lie will explain the
objects of the Division and the free
assistance offered to those desirous
of making atrial of planting.
DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish
an announcement that George Dewey
will lie a candidate for President.
Dewey says he is a Democrat and
that he is seeking the Democratic
nomination. It may be inferred
that if he liiils to get the Democratic
Domination, he will run as an inde
pendent candidate. His candidacy
is viewed indifferent ways. One is
thai it is an attempt to head off
Bryan as a candidate and still an
other that he is aimplv
...i.
WWIIIlUUI
and that lie announced himself as a
candidate without consulting any of
his friends. If he is a full-fledged
candidate, he made a very serious
error when he stated that the Presi
dent had only to carry out the laws
and ordl rs of ( 'oiigress and that the
executive head of this nation re
quired hut little governing ability.
If that is his conception of a presi
dent's duty, he would not succeed
as admirably in the executive man
sion h- he did on his vessel at Ma
nila. Dewey is certainly a hero,
but he must have a wider conception
of the White House !efore he can
carry on a successful administration j

Tbe Kreamer Block House.
The K reamer Block House or
Hendricks' Port, as it is called,
situate a few rods west of Kreamer, i
this count v, is fast going to ruin and
decay. It is the only substantial
relic of pi of tier days and of those
limes w hen the cruel Indians slaugh
tered the innocent whites who risked
their lives iu this territory more than
100 years ago. The Mock House
was erected when all of the present
bounds of Snyder County was a
dense forest and very sparsely settled
and in the very neighborhirod of this
much neglected historical spot where
the bones, of the pioneers crumble
into dust and their souls, lingering
about, slink in shame and hesitate to
acknowledge the present generation
as worthy progeny of noble sires,
there occurred one of the most dast
ardly and cruel butcheries of those
barbarous times. We publish iu
this issue of the Pcst a portrait ot
the Hlock House as it appeared in
in 1894. Now six years have pass
ed. Header, as you pass by this
historic stmt, take a glance at the
only substantial vestige of revolu
tionary times, then turn your head
and close your eyes upon the scene
of your neglect. Snyder County
hac a historical society, a chapter of
the Daughter! of the Revolution,
some iamilv organization, whose
founders wen reared neartlie sacreil
bpot Nothing has been done to
preserve the vestige of forgotten
lore. The roof tumbling down, the
tire place is a ruins and even the
floor itself is scarcely able to keep
the visitor from stepping into the
waters coming from a spring that
more than a century ago slaked the
burning thirstof sturdy pioneers. It
is important that action le taken
at otioe. Do not let delay and the
elements rob us of that which money
nor anything else am ever replace.
DEWEY A CANDIDATE.
He Will Accept the Presi
dency If the People Want
Him.
Washington. April 7. Admiral
George Dewey this morning confirm
ed the interview published in the
New York World, that he will ac
cept the Presidency of the United
States should the American people
desire him to fill that office. He
refused to make any further state
ment. The greatest interest was manifest
ed in official and other circles by
the announcement made by Admiral
Dewey in the published interview.
His home was besieged all the morn
ing by reporters. To all he ex
tended a eortlial greeting, but he in
dicated that for the present at least
there was nothing to add to what had
been published.
Naturally the chief point of in
quiry was as to which of the great
political parties Admiral Dewey
would be the candidate of, but to
questions of this character the replies
indicated that no positive deter
mination had leen reached. "There
are no definite plans as to the fu
tu re," said a member of his official
household when asked for informa
tio'i on that subject. None of the
officials or naval officers care to ex
press publicity any opinion.

Hornble Burning Accident.
A Decatur Township Farmer Caught in
a Burning Field and Burned to Death.
Henry Hassinger, a Decatur
township farmer, residing along the
State road about two miles east of
Alfarata, met with a horrible death
(tprnnon &ut
:i j - .
on ei
o'clock. He was engaged during
the day in burning some brush, when
the fire started in the dry grass of
the field and began spreading rapidly.
To prevent it from reaching his
buildings he started to plow up the
ground, when the fire came Ux)n
him, setting his clothing on fire and
burning all his clothing off except
his limits, even burning off his hair
and whiskers, causing his death in s
tew minutes, and burning his entire
body to a crisp. Deceased was
about 65 years old and leaves a fam
ily. His hired man, Robert Lepley,
was also severely burned about the
arms and neck. The fire spread over
nearly the entire farm, but no
buildings were burned. The above
facts were received from our Alfarata
correspondent by telephone message.
Ijcwutown Jh mocnit and Seneincl.
Henry Hassinger, the unfortunate
victim of the above mentioned burn
ing accident, is a sou of the late
Joseph Hassinger of Spring town
ship, this county, who died June 22,
1897. The victim has many friends
and relatives in this county who
deeply deplore the sad fate ot their
fnend.

How To
Gain Flesh
Persons have been known to
iain a pound a day by taking
in ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL
SION. It b strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound ; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient Is able
to digest and absorb his ordinary
ood, which he could not do be
ore, and that is the way the gain
s made.
A certain amount of flesh is
