Mrs. Barbara Bilger received dis.
patch on Monday evening announcing
that her son John, editor of the Ha
uanna On. " Republican was dying.
II is not known at this writing what
is the ailnent. Mrs. Bilger, accom-
panied by her daughter, Mrs. Lauretta
smith, left ON Tuesday morniug for
Havanna.
LATER.-Mr. Bilger died on Tuesday
and his remains were brought to Mid
dlebursh for burial yesterday (Wed-
nesday) afternoon.
Some evil disposed person, probably
prompted by jealousy, recently shot
one of the hounds belonging to the
Boonys while out fox hunting in the
west end Of the county. They caught
the fellow in the act, aud came down
on him in true "Iniin' style, and
would no doubt have scalped him had
he not escaped to his house and bar.
red the doors. Dogs that do nothing
worse than chase foxes do not deserve
being shot and the fellow ought be
soundly threshed If nothing more.
The recent floods have torn away
Hoover's dam near the mouth of Mid
dlecreek. This dam has been an eye,
sore to all fishermen along the creek
as it was twelve feat high and not
provided with a hway-making il
impossible for any fish to cross it.
We understand the owner does not
intend to rebuild it but use steam in
stead of water to run the mill. If he
does want to rebuild it he should now
be compelled to provide it with fish
way. 1t can be done and now is the
tune to do it.
JAIL LETTING.-The Commissioner
of Snyder county received twenty. six
bids at the Jail letting on Tuesday
The bids were satisfactory but they
have not yet decided to whom they
will award it, but will announce il
next Monday. We will publish all
the bids and announce the lucky con
tractors in our next issue. Meanwhile
let those who are 80 ready to criticist
and complain hold their peace, as we
have Commissioners who have always
exercised good judgment and honor
and who will do the very best for the
county they can.
