EDITOR RECORD: | soc IN your last
issue that our worthy mail contractor
from La Crosse to SmithviIle will
put a frst-class daily hack on his
division of said mail route, connect
lug with the Walnut Ridge hack at
Smithville, on and after the 10th
inst. This we welcome as another
step OF progress in our part Of the
country, and wish him success in
his undertaking; but while we do
this, have we done, or are we doing,
our duty toward improving the road
on said route? and this question, !
venture to say, will be answered in
the negative By every person who
has passed over said road any time
in the last few months, for it is sim
ply in miserable condition, And
now are we excusable for this? Have
our overseers complied with the
law in relation to having the pub
lie highways in their districts except
in good repair, so as to afford at all
times a safe and easy passage for
wagons" &c. We are inclined to
believe they have not. Our road
law is a good one, If our citizens
had patriotism enough 10 resolve
that it shall be complied with, and
then work when called on by the
overseers. Then, md not until then,
will we have good public roads.

A Strange Incident.

Alonza ellison, contractor in the
employ of s. l.. Wilson, resides on the
Workman farm, toward the head
waters of Oil Valley. A pathway leads
from the house up the hillside to the
tank directly above. About ten days
ago the oil was overhowing from the
tank. One night last week, after the
family had retired, Mr.. ellison was
wakened from his slumbers by astrange
feeling of suffocation. AS soon as he
became thoroughly aroused his practic-
ed senses, told him that gas from crude
petroleum was rising. A bright gas fire
was burning in the stove. Mr.. ellison
stepped out of bed on to the floor. His
feet touched greasy liquid, he had
stepped into crude oil. He shut of the
gas from the stove, and called to the
men who were sleeping up stairs, to
extinguish the light which was burning
When the lights and the fire had been
extinguished an investigation was
made. Oil had run down the hillside,
crept under the rear door and covered
the floor for an inch in depth. In pass
ing over the snow it had become slightly
chilled and the gas was not
generated rapidly after it had backed up
in the house. Had it been thoroughly
warmed the gas would have been fired
by the red hot stove. Had the oil on
the floor of the house been fired the
sleeping family must have perishcd. 1t
certainly was narrow escape.-Brad-
ford Nea0 Era.

cT- James Ellis, colored blacksmith In
Amercus, Ga, who, by industry and econ
omy, has acquired competency, and quite
lucrative trade In his profession, on learn
ing that his old mistress was in very re-
duced circumstances, without even shell
ter, went before Justice Pilsbury and made
her deed to small place In Macon coun-
ty, Ca, thus giving her home in her old
age without fee or reward.
nB- Mr.. Harry W. Baldwin, of Cincin-
with bullet through his brain, had been
married only few months. 1t is supposed
that he was accidentally" killed by pis-
tol shot fired at random by one of a party
of drunken men on the opposite side of the
street. He was the son of the cashier of
the Third National Bank of that city, and
young man of exemplary character.
GB- Two freight cars on the Northern
Central Railroad collided Monday morning
at point one mile east Of New Cumber-
land. Both engines were badly wrecked,
and about thirty cars were thrown from the
track, eight of them going over an en-
bankment in the Susquehanna river. Chas
Delvaney, flremen, had leg torn off, and
one of the conductors was slightly injured.
One of the engineers jumped from his en-
gine into the river, a distance of about 2S
feet, and escaped unhurt.
EB- The Jacksonville, Ala, " Republi-
cam says Some years ago one Cannon
hired a man in Texas to murder an enemy.
The man who did the murder was con-
demned to die, but the night before the ex-
ecution his wife brought him poison in her
mouth, and both were dead when found
next morning. Cannon has just been cap
tured and will probably hang. This man
Cannon is said to be the same one who
lived near Landiga in this county.
nB Peter Smith, farmer living near
Clear Creek, Ia, went into his smoke
house on Sunday and being absent an un-
usual length of time his wife went to see
what was the matter. The door had been
closed, and on opening it, she found
her husband on the floor in the agonies
of death. 1t is supposed that the door OF
the smoke house closed suddenly, and be-
ing unable to open it soon enough Smith
was overcome by the dense smoke and fell
to the floor, where his wife found him.

She was now reduced to mere skele-
ton, Weighing only forty pounds. Sew
eral days ago she went to Lancaster and
there was discovered at the Leopard
house by DIR. Campbell, the worm doc
tor of that city, who undertook to treat
her for tape worm. His method was
so far successful that last Friday eve
ming she was relieved of no less than
seven crabs, two large and five small
ones, the former being fully one inch
and the latter at least half an inch In
length. This woman has regained her
appetite and lids fair to ultimately re-
cover her former health. The case has
excited a great amount of interest in
Lancaster.

ESr Swill fed cattle are now sent
eastward from the West and the result
is that eastern markets are supplied with
line of beef utterly unfit for use T., tough,
stringy, unsavory and unhealthy.
There are several large establishments
and so-called firms in the neighborhood
of ST. Louis, where cattle are fed in this
manner, kept for weeks on swill, and
thereby bloated for the eastern market.

A DECISION recently given by Judge
Ross at Nornstown, will, if sustained,
do very much to put decided check Oh
horse racing in this State. He says that
the Pennsylvania statues declares horse
racing to be nuisance, that all trials of
speed are races, and that all wagers
made on such trials are void and all
horses entered may be forfeited.
He directs the attention of agricultural
societies to law of 1920, still in force,
which provides that any person who in
any way advertises the time and place
of horse race shall be fined $50. It is
probably that few persons in Pennsyl-
vania have been aware of the existence
of such law, and we expect to see an
effort soon made to have it changed.
That agricultural fairs have been given
up too exclusively to horse racing is ad-
mitted. Perhaps, if the law is regarded
in Pennsylvania, means will be found
for making such exhibitions more gen.
orally attractive. AS the custom now
is the feature of all our agricultural fairs
in the races or ''trials of speed" and
these to the aim ost total eclipse of all
other exhibits. A reformation is greatly
needed il the advancement of agricul-
ture is the aim of such exhibitions.
