-Four Members OF Two California Families
Meet Death by Fire.

HALFoRD, CAL, Jan. 3-Early this
morning fire broke out in a frame lodging
house, in which four persons perished and
six others were badly injured. The fire
originated in the explosion of a coaloil
stove, the'fames spreading rapidly through
the limsy structure, and quickly igniting
the Methodist Church and adjoining dwell
ings
The inmates of the two dwellings con-
sumed awakened to find escape by the halls
cut of, and many of them jumped from the
windows, receiving more or less severe in
juries The men burned to death were
Elmer E. Spofford, of Chester, n. H.; F.
B. Tucker, Sacramento, and E. W. Foster,
of this place. I. c. Hammond, a printer,
was badly burned and hurt by jumping,

Death Awaits Him, Too.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-[Speeiai. 1-On De-
cember 1 last a blooded mastitf bit Eddie
and Harold Ball, the former severely, at
Harrisons, n. j. The owner said the dog
was not mad, but it was killed. The chill
dren got along nicely until last Wednes-
dav, when Eddie complained of not feeling
we'll. He seemed to have caught cold.
About o clock in the afternoon he began
TO cough, a peculiar hacking cough, as
though he was threatened with Group. Mrs.
Ball made a poultice and put it on the
back of the little boys neck. But he got
no better, and when he clutched at his
throat and gasped for breath, and shivered
from head to foot, she sent for DR.. Pringle.
By the time DR.. Pringle got there the
boy was plainly suffering with hydrophobia.
He Law awake all Wednesday night, cough
ing and shivering and crying out that he
was burning. Thursday morning the foam
began to come, and from that time on his
lips were always covered with it.
His sufferings during Thursday, FRIDAY
and Saturday were terrible to see. He had
frequent convulsions, and when his little
body was not writhing he would moan and
saw: Mamma, mamma" over and over
again. But he did not seem to lose
his senses. Early this morning,
when his agony was at its height, he would
shake his head when his mother would ask
him if he wanted water or milk. At 11:30
o'clock he died, stretching his small body
out with long sigh of relief
The other child has bandage about his
head, but his wounds are really healed. DIR.
Pringle feels sure however, that he will
die also, although as vet he has shown no
sign. He is fortunately too young to suffer
in anticipation of the horrible death which
is in all probability in store for him.

MIR Charles S. Hamlin said:
1 heartily sympathize with every aim OF
the new Peoples party, but it is our duty to
consider how far the Democratic or Repuo-
lican party is CARRYING out and is pledged to
carry out the principles of the Peoples
party. / recently had conversation with
Speaker Crisp, and 1 don't believe that his
election means single step back in the
tariff reform. | believe that tariff reform
principles will be carried out by the present
House of Representatives as far rs 1t is DOS
sicle TO carry them out. L believe that
at the core the Democratic party IS
sound on the silver question, and that the
present House will settle the silver question
by emphaticallv voting down all such silver
legislation as is contemplated and feared
The Democratic party by tradition Is the
party of hard, honest money, of tariff re-
form, and of opposition to special legislation
in any form; and believe it has statesmen
in it who will bind it down to those tradl-
tions. Instead of leaving the Democratic
party. let us drive out of it the bad element,
and let it form a party which represents
that which we all repudiate.

Respect Memorial Day.

Communicated
Memorial Day with its pleasant duties
and work of patriotic devotion and love,
is near at hand, and how the sympathetic
heart and true American principles are
actuated by the past history of our nation
in the faithful discharge of these most
sacred duties. Who knows but that the
God Of ali nations in that great day of his
creative power looked down through the
cycles of time and saw these flowers the
beautiful production of his creative power
and skill, utilized by this great nation in
cOmmemorating the memory of departed
loved ones, and actuated by the inspiring
scene, pronounced them good"
We of the Grand Army, look upon
Memorial Day as the Sabbath of the G.
A. r., though not TO be compared to that
Sabbath day instituted by Almighty God
in commemoration of his creative power,
but a Sabbath in which we commemorate
the memory of our comrades and al near
and dear to us by the ties of patriotic de-
votion and sympathetic nature. One day
in seven we are taught to commemorate
the creative power and love of God. One
day in three hundred and sixty-five we
purpose to commemorate the memory Of
those who have ansW cred the roll call
from beyond the the line of worlds. Why,
and for what purpose was the thirtieth
day of May designated as a National holi-
day? The act of Congress itself answers
the question, and while it is not intended
by the act that the general business of our
land should be injuriously affected by the
duties enjOined, yet the duties of that day
should be regarded as solemn duties en-
Joined upon all who claim protection
under the stars aud stripes, it is the duty
as well as privilege to scatter beautiful
flowers on the graves of all, not alone
upon the soldier graves, but upon the
grave of father, mother, husband, wife,
brother, sister, children, orphans and
neighbors, be inspired by the work and
make it truly a day of commemoration in
honor and respect for our dead.
1t is not day for amusement or hilarity,
1t is not day on which to indulge in
hoTse-racing or games of any kind. Such
amusements on Memorial Day are nearly
If not altogether as unbecOming in
civilized land as ii INDUCED i'm on tho
Sabbath day. Let all enjoy and be salts
fed with the prescribed legal duties of
the day. Let all, old and young cherish
the privilege Of commemorative the past,
the memory Of our dead, and encourage
an earnest devotion and love tor our dead,
for God and our country, then as people,
as mighty nation rise higher before God
and the nations of the whole earth. In
hopes that all may be able 10 take a part,
and enjoy the work Of love and devotion
to our dead ON Monday next, ] am,
Yours in Il. G. & l..

Kellettville.

There will be a G0-dsy shut down at the
tannery commencing about June 1. This
will be a damper on Kellettville for some
time.-The bark peelers are hard at it
these days. If the wet weather continues
the bark will be hard to dry.--A. l..
Weller has purchased the timber on the
Hunter property, on Hazelton Run. Abe
has good crew of men at work peeling
bark and cutting logs. He will raft and
run his timber on the first flood to Tones
ia, where he has sold it to Lawrence Il
Smearbaugh.--On Sunday, May Is, fire
broke out in the boiler house at the tan
merry, which caused considerable stir for a
short time. The bucket brigade was on
time as usual and the fire was quickly
extinguished. The elevator chain rack
was burned, which was the only damage
done. A valuable draft horse belonging
to Ed. Harmon, of Salmon Creek, died
after a short illness at East Hickory early
Monday morning.-The =. o. S. of A..
camp will give an entertainment in their
new hall on Friday evening, May q. All

settled-either wet or dry.--Farmers are
wishing for little dry weather to enable
them to plant corn and potatoes.

Mr.. +. p. Gotham, of Warren, Pa, has

letter writing which will discount the

Hon. George Wallace Delamater con-
tinues very i'll at the residence OF his
brother-in-law, DIR. Theo. j. Young. His
case has developed into serious form of
bilious fever, with "A tendency towards
pleurisy.- TttusvHte Herald.
An old fisherman says: An angler can
by carrying little bran with him keep
fish quite fresh in appearance in any creel
by simply sprinkling enough of 1t to ad-
here all over them when first caught. 1t
is surprising how fresh trout look when
the bran is washed Off even after three or
four days, and it is therefore one of the
very best ways of packing fish to send a
distance.
DR.. Il. l.. Floods handsome country
place, about two miles and a half from
Meadville, in Vernon Township, was
burned Wednesday. All tho buildings
except a small corn crib were destroyed
with most of the contents. The fire took
from the kitchen stove, and light wind
was blowing directly from the fire to all
the other buildings. All the nice furni-
turc, including a fine piano and consider
able solid silverware was burned. The
loss is about $1,000; insurance nearly
$4,000.
The Mcadville Tribune says: "The
sucker fishing continues great at COnneaut
Lake inlet and great quantities of fish are
gathered in. This sort of fishing, scarcely
comes under the head of sport, but it
scoops the suckers. It's some like fishing
for trout with hoe, where the angler by
digging II channel drains the holes and
then scoops the trout with his hands. But
as suggested above, it gets there, Elias
and when chap is after suckers he don't
care much how he lands them, be they of
the water or dry land species"
Here is something for the scrap books

Doubtless our people have noticed that
no stone cutting has been done here in
connection with the erection of the new
bank building, although the front is solid
stone-work. This is accounted for by the
fact that the stones were all cut fitted and
numbered at the quarry, in the state of
Now York, before beng shipped. How
well the work was done, and how perfect
ly, is seen in tho laying of the stones in
the wall. This explains how the masonry
was erected in the building of Solomon's
temple. They knew as much of this sort
of work then as We do now, and perhaps

A Splendid News Service.

The enlargement of the Pittsburg
Dispatch to II pages daily is evidently
in preparation for the political cam.
paign. The Dispatch reports fully
and promptly the movements, meet.
ings, plans and hopes and fears of all
parties, and, being absolutely fair aud
impartial in its news, is greatly sought
after by all who want to see for them
selves just how the battle goes from
day to day.
The Dispatch has given a great
service so far this year with its leased
wires aud its special correspondents
everywhere, and. with its II pages to
hold the news, it is unapprOaehable.
