HON. PRANK
Republican Candidate
REV. FREDERICK BOWER DEAD.
The Highly Respected Old Ccntlctiiiin reached
the Age nf Na years.
Rev. Frederick Power tiled at the
home Of Mrs. Catherine Mower In
KrapkllnTownshlp.on Thursday morn
ing, October third, 190, He was born
at Middleburg, April 19th, 1H1H, the
son of John ami Mary (Barton) Bower.
The children of John Bower were
r'muel: WiHlam H., Habra (married
Dr. Robert Raird), Harriet (married
John Cummings), Thomas, Maj. ('has.
C. and Fretleriek, who was the young
est of the family and the last to pass
away. He was married, September
Twelfth, 1848, to Mallnda I, daughter
of Isaac Smith. They were without
children.
Mr. Bower, in bis early days, was at
different times a merchant, a justice of
the peace, ami a teacher, near his birth
place. At the age of thirty-six years
he determined to enter the ministry
and went to the University a) Lewis
burg (now Bucknell), where he spent
two years in study and during the
second year filled the pulpit at Au
gusta, Northumberland county, After
this be was ordained as minister in
the Baptist faith and served his first
pastorate at Milesburg, Centre county,
remaining there five years, when he
was called to the Baptist church at
Selinsgrove. He was then sent into
the mission field In the Western states,
and after closing bis work in tbe states
of Missouri, Dakota and Nebraska, was
pastor of the church at Lena, Ills., and
afterwards at Waterloo, Ills. His last
regular service in the ministry wasat
West Union, Iowa, and during bis
thirteen years of work there bis wife
died, February 23rd, 1891. In 1894 be
returned to the scenes of bis childhood
and remained here until bis death.
He occasionally tilled pulpits in this
vicinity, despite ids extreme age, and
only last summer preached bis Inst
sermon in the church at Mount Union
I'a., at the age of eighty-two years.
The funeral service was held at his
late home Saturday afternoon, October
5th. Dr. John H. Harris and Prof. T.
A. Edwards, of Bucknell University,
assisted by the Lutheran choir of this
place, conducted the services. Out Of
respect to the oft-repeated wish of Rev.
Hower, the remains were taken to
Lena, Illinois, and ou Monday laid to
rest by the side of his wife.
The Post ventures the assertion that
there was no man living in this com
munity who was more highly esteemed
than Rev. Itower. lie had a smile and
a happy greeting tor everyone, JJur
ing his declining years spent in this
Place, he was frequently asked to Mil
vacant pulpits, which he always did
with pleasure. The mere announce
ment that Rev. Bower would preach
was a guarantee of a full house. Ho
kind, so sincere, so devoted, so pleasant,
so upright the old gentleman earned
and received a righteous and peaceful
sleep.
Of all the obituaries mankind Is call
ed upon to write, no subject can
furnish more good nnd useful traits
than the deceased. He was the symbol
(1. HARRIS
for State Treasurer
I of love,
the embodiment of righteous
representation in human form
noblest virtues, the emblem
and the leader, like the llrey cross of
Scotland, to carry out the highest and
noblest purposes of mankind.
IT WILL HE BETTER
Sunday North American Announces it Will
Maintain High Standard of First Issue.
All records, both as to quality of
matter and number of sales, were brok
en by the Sunday North American last
Sunday, when Its first Issue was offered
to the public. In each of scores of
Pennsylvania towns several hundred
more copies might have been sold if
the supply bad been equal to tin
demand. There was a great curiosity
to see what the first number would be,
and newsdealers everywhere report
"clean sales."
Curiosity is quite as strong in regard
to the next Sunday North American
The question is this Will it maintain
the pace and keep the high standard
set in its first Issue? The assurance is
given out that next Sunday's paper
will be even better than the initial
number.
The sheet music supplement, which
is printed on heavy paper and Is in
every way equal to the music purchas
ed In stores, will b ' " Ida from Idaho,"
by John H. Flynn, the author of that
(treat success, " Annie Moore." This
new song is just as catchy as the oni
w hich the people of the I'nited States
are now singing and whistling.
In the Women's Supplement, In
beautiful colors, are Illustrated pages of
new fall jackets and some of the latest
mourning costumes; the very latest silk
waists, which will interest those who
make their own clothes; Marion liar-
land has some good new eooumg
recipes, and discourses on household
topics, including the care of children
Mrs. Henry Sytncs gives many mor
recipes for beauty, and tells how to
acquire health by new breathing exer
cises; McDougall contributes wonderful
stories for children, besides which there
is a puzzle picture and some interesting
illustrations.
In the comic supplement there is an
excruciatingly funny scries by Walt
McDougall, called "How liims Lost
the Flection." There are other comic
shetohes in colors to excite hilarity,
nnd two pages of short humors prose
written by the men who have made
"Puck, " " Life" and "Judge"
famous.
The cover of the twelve-page maga
zine shows Pope Leo and his "Cab
inet." It is a wonderfully striking
color page and will attract national
attention. There are ten more pages of
attractively illustrated and genuinely
interesting news features.
