EAST BENTON.

We copy the following items from the
Gazette Cedar Falls, Iowa: Judge Isaac
Krickbaum, from Cambria, Pa, is visiting
his friend OF early days, Charles Snyder.
He is taking trip of pleasure and obser-
walton through the West. >
"Judge Krickbaum from Pennsylvania,
who is visiting in our citv, says there have
been forty nine murders committed in the
past ten years, and only two have been
hung. These murders are almost excu-
sively among the foreign element, Italians,
Hungarians and Polanders. Their plea is
generally, self-defense."
The above number have been tried before
the LuzerLe County Courts while others are
either in custody, or at large, evading the
law.
Last Thursday afternoon and night and
Friday forenoon, we had an almost con-
tinuous thunder storm, during which time
William Doty's barn was struck by light
ming and cherry tree between the house
and barn of Wells Laubach
The continuous wet weather has retarded
the gathering of the farm crops. Much OF
the corn will have to 60 through with little
tending. Every farmer has his hands twice
full and plenty of water to sparr.
Miss Laura Slime was the guest of Miss
Rebecca Wenner last Thursday.
The Hillman sisters, Alice and Susie
have again returned to spend the summer
season with their aunt, Mrs. Judge Krick
baum.
The business men of Benton are painting
the board fences along the public roads
and advertising their business. Evidently
a newspaper would thrive at Benton.

Reading's Handsome Passenger

Cars.
The Reading Railroad yesterday re ceiv-
ed and placed in service another insi al
ment of the new passenger coaches built
by the Pullman Car Co. of Chicago, for use
on the Atlantic City Division. These cars
are of special design, exceptionally hand
some, and combine the latest improve
ments in construction and appointments.
They are 80 feet in length and each carries
90 passengers. They run On paper wheels
with steel tires, the body of the car resting
on combination of elllptical and spiral
springs, so arranged as to secure great ease
and smoothness Of motion. The interior
is finished in quartered oak, carved and
polished, relieved by French walnut panel
ing, and the seats are upholstered in silk
plush of old gold color on heavy oaken
frames. The latter are of the sliding and
adjustable pattern, said to be the most
comfortable car seat yet devised The
overhead racks and chandeliers are of solid
wrought brass in artistic shapes. The re-
firing rooms for ladies and for men are
situated at opposite ends of the Car, and
| are provided with marbe-top wash stands
connected with large water tanks. The
fittings of these rooms are silver plated.
I The general effect of the interior, owing
to the style of decoration, the wide aisle
and the unusually large space between
seats, is to give an impression of GOODNESS
and roomintss. A total of so of the new
cars will be running on the Readings At
lantic City Line within few days. Plaa

Health of Williamsport and several of the
members threaten to resign. Ever since
The flood the board has been actively en-.
gagged In improving the sanitary condition
Of the city, although continuously hamper.
ed by indifferent members, whose absence
prevented meetings by the lack Of a quo
rum. The board asked Councils for an ap.
preparation of $4,000, but under the plea
of economy only $4,000 was appropriated.
This is not considered sufficient to con-
tinue the work already commenced and

NO REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE AIR WHILE
SLEEPING.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread of
night air. What air can we breathe at
night but night air The choice is be-
tween pure night air from without and
foul air within. Most people prefer the
latter-an unaccountabe choice. What
will they say il it is proved to be true that
fully one-half of all the diseases we suffer
from are occasioned by people sleeping
with their windows shut? An open win
dow most uights In the year can never hurt
anyone.
In great cities night sir is often the best
and purest to be had in twenty-four hours.
One could better understand shutting the
windows in town during the day than dur
ing the night for the sake of the sick. The
absence OF smoke, the quiet, all tend to
make the night the hest time for airing the
patient. One OF our highest medical au.
thorities on consumption and climate has
told me that the air of London is never so
good as after 10 O'Clock at night. Always
air your room then, from the outside all
II possible. Windows are made to open,
doors are made to shut-a truth which
seems extremely difficult of apprehension
Every room must be aired from without
every passage from within.-Smitayy

My DEAR FRIEND:
] wish | could picture 10
you some of the scenes | see from day to
day in my village visiting and yet they
would only harrow your feelings. Old men
and old women worn away to shadows of
their former selves or, in the last stages of
starvation, swollen so much as to be almost
past recognition little children in arms
almost invariably very, very thin and wan
looking; half grown children, weak and
coorloss and so worn looking as to tell
their tale of utter misery without a word,
and faces generally on men and women
that need months of privation and hard
ship to bring to them the famished look
they have. A passing look at the faces of
family almost always gives pretty cor
rect idea of the depth Of their poverty.
Then they tell you how this ones baby,
that ones father or mother, this mans wife
and daughter, that woman's only son or
her two or three little children have starved
to death how so and so sold his little girl
or boy to make sure of their having some
thing to eat, and so that the money might
provide for his other children for month
to come; how another mans wife hung
herself to get away from the sight of her
hungry, famshing babies, Zone door keep
er's wife ate arsenic because she couldn't
bear to see her children suffer SO, } how still
another man has taken all he has left Of his
family and fled in the hope of being able to
reach a land where he can get work or
plant his grain where there is less fear of
Its being "Uincd before harvest time, an d
thu will show you the deserted house with
its locked door and ask you to peer into
the window and see the coffin there with
the unbuned starved mother or father in it,
down his house, and ask him why he is
doing it, he'll tell you to sell the timber so
as 10 buy something for the little ones to
eat-always the same reason, n,-for somc-
thing to appease this eyer recurring, knaw-
ing, hunger, or as they express it, "to paste

look the very worst; it would wiring your
mother heart to see the little skeleton like
bodies and hear the weak hungry cry and
to watch them as they try to swallow tn
n ess of chaff roots, bark of trees and grass
mixed together and made into a cake,
(Which is what the people arc mostly living
on now,) that their mothers chew up and
put into their gaping little mouths.
The Doctor is still hard at work enrolling
the sufferers and you would be pleased if
you could see the energy, rromptitude and
the systematic way in which he is carrying
On this good work, not sparing himself any
WEAKNESS or hardship in furthering his
work of relief. To-day he was off before
nine O'Clock and will not be back before
tomorrow evening.
NoTE-The Chinese authorities through
the example of the missionaries were at last
led to give so literally themselves to famine
relief, that the missionaries found they
could give up the work of famine relief to
| them and DIR. and Mrs. Neal returned to
their home at Tung Chow the last of May.
