A SAD ACCIDENT.
Jas. Flynn, Of Nebraska, Killed.

mat Mr.. james FIynD, OF NeOraskai
was killed, yesterday, in jam of logs
in Licking Creek, near Lucinda Fur
mace, Clarion County. He was driv-
ing some logs, and was in some way
caught and crushed. Mr.. VIM. Roupe |
brought the news to town, but was
without particulars. Mr.. Flynn was a
man who enjoyed the confidence and
respect of all who knew him, and his
death is a sad shock to the community.
He leaves wife and family of small
children. We shall try to give more
particulars next week.
There was rise in the creek yes
terday, and considerable lumber, per-
haps ten or twelve pieces, came out.
We believe this cleans the creek.
This has been remarkable season for
floods on the creek and river.
1t is we'll known in this Congress
ional District that Hon. G. A. Jenks'
penmanship would never take the first
prize at commercial college, but we
consider it uncomplimentary for the
Elk Advocate to recommend that he
apply for a situation in China, mark
ing tea boxes.
M. w. Tate, Esq, gave little
attention to rigging up a homemade
telephone, few weeks ago, but for
some time has given the subject rest.
The machine would transmit sound,
but absolutely refused to articulate SO
that you could tell what the chap at
the other end of the line was saying.
MIR. Jas. Swailes has been ap-
pointed Collector of the boro cash tax,
and is circulating around with his lit
tie duplicate, sparing neither friend
nor foe. Our old standby, Fred.
Koppman, is on Dutch Hill, and has
been in rather poor health for several
weeks past.
Mr.. Jas. Doyle, Street Commits
sioner, is at work every day when it
doesn't rain, and will doubtless have
the streets in good shape before the
summer is over. In other parts of The
county VIC notice that more and better
work is being done this season thar
for several years before.
No Sabbath School was held il
either church last Sunday, and the ser
vices at the M. E. Church in the mor
ming were SO slimly attended that j
was decided not to hold evening SCI
vices. Unless something alarming oc
ours before next Sunday we can prob
ably look for Sabbath School in bot
churches.
BY late Act of Congress, all So
diers who served fourteen days or NOR
either in the militia or regular forces
in the war of 1912, or their widows
are entitled to q pension. Hon. j. 1
Agnew has full set of blanks an
instructions on the subject, just re
ceived. Those affected by this la
would do well to apply to him at onc'
The Potter investigating commi
tee is at work, aud seems to be gettin
more out of the witnesses than M
Potter wants. The committee was al
pointed to pry out Republican fraud
but up to the present time they hay
unearthed about as much Democrat
as Republican rookedness. Let the
wiggle; if they proceed they may fin
more than they are looking for.
SO much time has elapsed sim
: the case of small pox, noticed in Of
j. last issue, appeared among us, that ol
people begin to breathe easier, and
= is now believed that we are compar
lively out of danger. 1t was rumor'
q last week that young man nam'
German, who was in Pittsburgh
f company with Perry Roberts, was doV
with the same disease, but the ply
: clan (frOm Tidioute) who attended hi
. said it was not the case. Young &C
man lives some FIVE or six miles up
river, and was at home when he "
taken sick.
