A Sad anil Sudden Death,

Sara Louise, the bright and beautiful
child of Mr.. and Mrs George V. Brown,
lied Monday afternoon. She had been
lightly unwell for few days. Her sick
less was not taken seriously, however,
.ntil after noon Monday, when she was
eized with vomiting. This rapidly grew
'$sorse, convulsions followed, and despite
all efforts the little one died at about
four o'clock. She was the first born of
her young parents, and was almost idol
lied by them and by her fond. grand
parents. To them all the blow comes
with crushing suddenness and sadness,
leaving a wound that can be healed only
by the soetening touch of habit and time.
The child was seventeen months old; she
was intelligent beyond her age, and her
bright face and engaging prattle were a
delight to all who knew her. We extend
the sympathy of the community to the
sorrowing parents and other relatives.
The funeral took place Wednesday at
100 P. NJ, from the residence of Mr..
Robert Thompson, the interment being
private.

Who viii Assess Them P

A question containing some perplex-
ing phases promises to come up this
spring in this township. According to
the law assessors will have to be elected
in each precinct. So far the question is
easily disposed of. But the law further
provides that if portion of the town
ship is joined to another township to
form precinct, that the township as
SCISSOR shall assess the portion of that
precinct lying in the township. A part
of Richland is joined to part of Smith,
to form Glencoe precinct. But if we
elect an assessor in each precinct we
will have no township assessor, and then
who will assess Glencoe precinct? The
case,will probably require special en-
actment, or the people in the Glencoe
precinct will not be assessed for taxation.

SEVERAL SHORT STORIES.
A Number of Interesting Items Group
ed Together.
Secretary of the King of Siam Deaths of
Citizens, and Other News and
Events in Column.

Edward H. McF Farland, class of "a, W
and ]. College. Washington, Pa, was the
guest of his classmate, Albert w. Ken
non, ESQ.,, last week. Mr.. Mcfarland left
on Wednesday on his way to Syracuse
n. Y, where he is at present engaged in
preparing dies for making the letters
and characters used by the Siamese in
their country, and arranging and adapt
ing the Smith Premier type-writing ma
chine for use in that language. The
whole machine is undergoing an entire
readjustment which amounts to almost a
new invention in itself. Only one who
uses the typewriter and knows some
thing of the plan and the various objects
of its arrangements, can appreciate the
amount of study and skill required to
adapt it to an entirely different language
with 76 characters.
About year ago, feeling the need OF
rest and change, Mr. Mcfarland, who has
been for four years actively engaged in
the department of printing in Siam, Sc
cured a years leave of absence, and ar
rived in San Francisco last April. He
will perfect his Siamese typewriter, and
take one with him on his return trip
about April of this year, and expects to
introduce these machines for govern
ment and private use.
The imprint of the type which he ex-
hibits is excellent, being clear and dis
tirct, and if the machine is, when finish
ed, as satisfactory and perfect as these
type indicate, it will be a revelation to
the orientals:
Since his return to the United States
he received information of the death of
his brother, William, which occurred at
Bankok, while Edward was on the Pa
cific Ocean. In November last his young
er brother, George, who attended w. and
J. College recently, and afterU ard gradu-
ated i'm a medical school and dental col
lege, sailed for Siam where he is to take
charge of the medical school which the
king is now establishing for that land.
He Travelled eastward and the latest in
formation from him was that he had
passed safely through the Suez Canal.
He carries with him full line of the
latest improved American dental tools,
and he should have much use for them
in that country, where to get tooth
filled involves a trip of two hundred
miles to the nearest dentist Office.

Our Representative.


The Ohio State Journal of Sunday
contained the following tribute to our
new Representative in the Legislature:
"One of the bright young Republican
members of the House, brought in by the
sweep of last fall, is Joseph G. Heinlein,
of Belmont. He is worthy successor of
A. L. McKelvey, who ably represented
the great manufacturing county for two
years in the House, and is credit to the
big constituency he represents. Mr..
Heinlein is one of the vim and vigor,
hustling young Republicans whose pres
ence in the House means much for the
people and the party. He did great
service for Senator Sherman and largely
contributed to bringing about the victorg
which elected Laylin and Sherman.
"Mr Heinlein is only % years of age,
yet he is one of the leading lawyers of
Belmont county and has a practice rank
ing among the foremost of the bar in that
county. He was born in Bridgeport,
where he still resides, graduated from the
public schools there and then took spe-
cial course in Ohio State University. He
studied law under Hon. Ross Alexander's
direction and attending the New York
law school was graduated in 1887. He
has always taken an interest in the sue
cess of the Republican party and his
popularity is attested by the majority he
received-711, the largest ever given a
Republican member of the Legislature
from Belmont. Mr. Heinlein is modest
gentleman, with an address which is
bound to make him friends among his
felloW-members."

GREAT COASTING.
Hundreds of People Enjey the Noble Sport
Saturday Night.

Hundreds of People Enjey the Noble Spor'
Saturday Night.
The coasting on the hill in the West
End Saturday night was perfect. The
! long hill was glare of ice from top to
bottom. Nearly every one in town was
out, and every sled was pressed into ser
vice, from the big bob, seating easily ten
persons, to the little "toothpick" three
inches high. The sleds sped down the
hill at lightning speed, across the level
and half way up the next hill. The elec-
tries made things as light as day, and not
the slightest accident is reported. Not
for years has the relish and general en-
joyment of this sport been so keen. At
least two hundred persons were on the
hill, when the sport was at its height. And
though nearly every small boy and girl in
town was there, the crowd was not con-
fined to the young, but included grave
and reverend seignors, with portly stom-
achs and gray boards, and the girls were
there from alpha to omega. The exhil-
aration of trip on the gliding runners
is inexpressible. The sled load must sit
well together, and become, so to speak, a
part of the sled, as good rider becomes
part of the steed. The sled starts slow
lysand you think it is going to stop. In
moment, however, it increases its speed.
You are afraid now that it will go too
fast. but you could not off, if you would
Faster and faster-it fairly flies; the cold
air catches your breath and blinds your
eyes. Here is breaker-look out. hold
on, Everybody grab something. Take
hold of your neighbor's shoulder, and
brace yourself. Up springs the sled three
feet into the air, and down you come
again, smash on to the ice, and woe to
the unfortunate tailender who has not
taken death grip on the shoulders in
front of him. The breaker is the refine
ment of coasting. 1t breaks the monoto-
ny of gliding straight away. There is a
chorus of 'now!" as sled load strikes
one, and another chorus of sundry means
and sqeals in treble and bass after the
thump on the other side, as the coasters
take note of their damage. replace their
false teeth and straighten out. their YER
tebre. But it is good, honest, healthy
amusement, and your unwonted sound
ness of sleep and voracious appetite at
breakfast astonish and please you.
1t is renewal of your youth. and you
envy even the small boy, who glides
down headlong. stretched on his face on
his sled, and guiding it with his toes be-
hind. This, indeed, is the only true way
of coasting. 1t looks dangerous, but it
is not. Try it.
1t speaks well for the town that out of
the multitude of sleds in the sport until
late Saturday night, not one was any
where to be seen Sunday, though the
track lay glistening and inviting.

To Thaw Dynamite.

On Saturday morning workman at
quarry at Rock Hill had occasion to use
some dynamite. Finding it frozen he
placed twenty sticks of the explosive on
the fire to thaw out. The stuff caught
fire, and the workman took rail to push
it out of the fire. The first push he gave
it caused an explosion. The man mirac-
ulously escaped with only slight bruises.

Accidents

Coasting resulted in series of acci-
dents at Martins Ferry last week. The
whole town evidently was indulging in
the sport. On Friday night large sled
loaded with ten or twelve men ran into a
telephone pole. The pilot had his leg
broken in two places, and several others
were badly bruised. Minor accidents
happened to number of other coasters.
