NOT EXACTLY NEWS.
A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections

Reflections.
Arbor Day should be more generally
observed. A tree should be planted on
that day for each man, woman and child.
Trees serve a hundred beneiicent pur-
poses. They adorn the earth, enrich the
soil. hoard up the rains of spring to dole
them ont during the drought of summer.
They give bigger crop for the same
ground than wheat, and their product is
more valuable. In the end they furnish
lumber which amply repays all care of
rearing them. Trees are fast going from
the sarface of this country. Unless some
planting is done they will disappear.
We ought to consider this, and each one
plant a tree for which posterity will
bless US.
Friday night many watched with awe
and wonder
- the live North
I:ed-pulsing up thro' Alioth and Alcor.
1t ha, been two years since nature has
shown 50 fine a display of these wierd and
mysterious phenomena. Like a gigantic
fire work, or huge search light the long
bars regularly flashed and pulsed up
from the horizon to the illimitable. Dim
and white and blue at first these bars
gradually blushed into the rosy pink of
dawn. Flashing from vast arc of
earth-line they lost themselves in the
abysses of the sky, then poured together
again at the zenith in resplendent sea
of ever-changing form and color. Beside
this glorious marvel. of the sun and the
iceberg, the Yerkes electrical fountain
that last summer beside Lake Michigan
was thought so wonderful, dwindles into
the painted plaything of babe.
Edison, the electrical wizard, is the au-
thor of many advanced ideas. but it is
doubtful if he has ever before announced
so startling plan. as he recently did by
saying that man does not need to sleep.
He says that men got into the habit of
sleeping because of darkness. They had
no light, and not being able to do any
thing when darkness came on, they ma
turally sank into slumber. When arti-
ficial light is made good as the sun, man.
kind will not care to sleep at all, or at
least very little, and then only for rest
But of course, men must first get out of
their blood the habit of sleeping, habit
growing out of some million of years of
dark nights

John w. Terrill has been recommended
by Congressman Pearson. ]. Y. Patter-
son, who was a candidate, and his
friends have filed protest and charges
against Terrill, and the case is hung up
pending an investigation by the Post
master General. What the charges
are against Telrill are is not stated, but
they are probably quite strong, since the
fight is very bitter. Congressman Pear
son is "cuckoo, and in the end it is
probable his recommendation will stand,
but the fight will do the Democracy a
great deal more harm than it will do
them good after it is settled

DEATHS.
The Destroyer at Work During the
Week.

Mrs. W. 5. Miner died at her home,
near Lewis Mills, on Sunday evening
She had been in i'll health for some time,
but speedy termination of her malady,
which resembled consumption, was not
looked for until shortly before she ex-
pired. Mrs. Miner was daughter of
the late Henry Daniel, of BannOck, and
was about "a years of age. She had been
married three years, and little son, still
in babyhood, is left never to know the
fond care of a mother. Mrs. Miner had
but lately removed with her husband
from near Loydsville. to the farm near
Lewis Mills. The husband and his little
child, have the sincere sympathy of a
large circle of friends in their sad be-
reavement.
Miss EMMA Cook, of near Blaine, died
at the home of her brother law, e. f.
Overbaugh, near this place, on Wednes-
day morning. She had been in i'll health
for some time, but was supposed to be
better, and on Sunday was removed from
her home to Mr.. Overbaugh's for the
purpose of securing change of scene.
She at once became worse with the above
result.
