show TO GO WE ST.,

This is an inquiry which every one
should have truthfully answered before
he starts on his journey, and little care
taken in examination of routes will in
many cases save much trouble, time and
money.
The Chicago, Burlington e Quincy
Railroad has achieved splendid reputa-
ton in the last three years as the leading
Passenger Route to the West, Starting at
Chicago or Peoria, it runs direct through
Southern Iowa and Nebraska, with close
connections to California and the Terri
tories. 1t is also the short line and best
lire to Quincy, Missouri, and all points in
Kansas and New Mexico. Passengers
on their way westward cannot do better
than TO take this route.
This line has published pamphlet en-

The Indianian says of the ladies who
haye been on picket duty, watching the
temperance cause in front of the enemy {:
'They have, without doubt, done a
vast amount of good for the temperance
cause, and public sentiment has been
created that will-slowly it may be-
make itself felt, all over the county.

Fatal Accident.-On Saturday last fatal
and most distressing accident happened to
boy, named Morris E. Dunbar IA years of
age, son of William Dunbar, of this town.
The boy was employed as hostler for his
uncle, Morris Dunbar, whose livery is kept
at the Howard House stables. He was rid
ing one of the horses on the street in front
of the stable yard, guided by halter only,
when colored boy, named Hutchinson,
threw stone and struck the animal, which
caused it to shy and start suddenly, unseat-
ing young Dunbar. He chung to the
horses name few moments, but fell off
on his back as the animal was crossing the
broad stone tagging between the Odd Eel
lows Hall and Mr.. H. McCullough's office,
his head striking the granite slab violently.
He was taken up and conveyed into Mr..
McCullough's Office, and from there to the
house Of his parents, on Bow street, where
he expired the same evening. He remain
ed unconscious after the fall till his death.
The deceased was much esteemed by all
who knew him, and his untimely death is
a great bereavement to his parents and
friends. The throwing of the stone by the
colored boy which caused the sorrowful
calamity, is one of those pieces of malicious
mischief for which there is no excuse, and
all such acts should be punished with Prus-
sian rigor, whether they result in injury to
others or not. Throwing stones i'll the
streets is always, and under all circum-
stances, fraught with danger to some per-
son.

Some of the roads have been repaired

Several parties Of 60 fair ladies - and gay
gallants have visited the "iishing shores -
recently, and all report a pleasant time.
The party from this section, on Thursday
of last week, was perhaps the largest of
the season. We understand that all went
emery as marriage bell" with the little
exception of some Of the party becoming
slightly seasick, from the roughness of the
water, while enjoying "life on the ocean

The general health OF the community is
good,-so much SO that some physicians of
this neigh6orhood find it to their interest
~ to give medicines and advice, unsolicit-

fully appreciated by the grateful recipients.

Suspicious Characters.-On Wednesday
night the nurse discovered two men at the
back door of Mr. II. r. Torbert's dwelling.
She notified some of the family, and the
scamps, finding that they were discovered,
went away. There was no man in the
house, a fact the fellows seemed to be cog
infant of, and they stood under the girl S
window and stared at her for while, but
finally moved off. A watch was kept, and
in about half an hour they returned; but
finding that they were again discovered,
they left. Mr.. John Torbert, who was
at his fathers in the adjoining house, was
walked up, aud went in search of the
providers with his gun, but they had made
good their escape. People should keep a
sharp look out for thieves and burglars.
Elkton has generally an annual visit from
this gentry.

Mending the ROads.-In a recent trip

Mending the ROads.-In recent trip
through our neighboring county of Ian
caster, we observed many of the farmers
at work repairing their sections " of the
public roads. The model law of Fulton
township has been extended to several OF
the adjacent townships in Lancaster county,
as we'll as to Peach Bottom in Iork county
and West Nottingham in this county, and
where properly enforced is working admir-
ably. At the third triennel sale of roads
in Fulton township, held month ago, the
bidding was quite spirited and the roads
sold at a considerable reduction on former
years-owing to the fact that most of the
sections were in good condition and re-
quired but little repair. A ride over the
roads in Fulton is truly a luxury.

.Rear-admiral William d. Shub

Rear admiral William D. Shubrick,
senior officer on the retired list of the
Navy, died on Wednesday in Washington,
in the S4th year of his age. He was born
in South Carolina, in 1890, entered the

sixty eight years. He was q lieutenant on
the frigate Constitution in the War of 1912,

death, says: d" -Four times he has command
ed squadrons; twice, navy yards; has
twice served as chief of naval bureaux,
and for many years presided over the
Light House Board. In every trust CON-
mitted to him during life he has deserved
well of the Republic, and dying, he leaves

sive. a string band requires but compare
lively few pieces, and is in constant de

out, Riches band has to be brought from
