Who ever heard of a young fel-
low having to rock the baby asleep

Rev. Mr.. Filson, of Beechwood,
preached an interesting sermon at the

be able to favor us often in the same
manner.

full accident on Wednesday evening

Of his calling. Jack is plucky.

The Atlantic Minstrels, gave an
entertainment at the McCauley House
hall, Centreville, on Thursday and
Friday nights of last week. The hall
was crowded each night, and the per-
.formdnce yes the performance. Well
we won't say anything more about it.
For further information ask some of
those that attended.
Thursday afternoon last an alarm
Of fire was raised, caused by a little
boy of Frank Dahps, aged four years,
going up stairs and setting fire to a
keg of blasting powder which the
father had placed in the bedroom un.
til he came from work at night. The
explosion of the powder set fire to the
child's clothing, and before assistance
could reach him his face, hands, left
side and front was horribly burned.
Immediate steps were taken to relieve
the little fellow of his intense suffer-
ing. He fingered along until Tuesday
night between nine and ten o'clock
when he died. His remains We're
taken to Kane on Monday for inter-
ment. The house was considerable
damaged by the explosion. Before the
flames could be extinguished the bed,
bedding and wearing apparel of the
family was entirely destroyed. Mr..
Dahl and wife are a hard working
couple, and being in destitute circum-
stances, with family of small chill
dren dependent upon them, deserve
help from the people of our commdn-
ity. Let this sad accident be warn
ing to those of our miners keeping
powder in their houses, to put it away
from the hands of their children.
Conductor Almy is at his post
once more sore fingers and all.
