THOMPSON,

Our town was greatly shocked at the
news of the death of Mrs. A. ID. David,
wife of the pastor OF the M. f. church
last Wednesday morning. They had
been her but seven weeks, and she
was in feeble health, yet she had
moved among the people, and had re-
ceived them so gracefully at the par
sonage that many had come to be in
terested in her to an unusual degree.
The evening before her death several
called at the parsonage and she was
joyous and hopeful. She retired early.
at 11.30 she told her husband how
sweetly she had been sleeping and how
much she was refreshed. At 1890 she
became worse and all in the house,
friends and neighbors were at her bed
side, and the physician came at once.
But all effort to restore to conscious
ness was unavalling and at $50 she
was not, for God took her The funeral
was held here at the M. E. church Fri
day afternoon. Rev. w. b. Westlake,
of Dallas, who married them four years
ago, conducted the services. He was
assisted in the opening services by
Revs. ]. II. Boyce of Mt. Pleasant, N. j.
Vaughn of Henicklenton, A. c. Ober
&C Nineveh, N. Y, and l.. Cole of
thompson. Rev. T. r. Tower who lives
just across the street from the par
sonage spoke of her seven weeks So
journ in Thompson as a beautiful star
appearing In the horizon whose bright
and mellowed light attracted the at
tention of many and while they gazed
in admiration 1t went down, leaving a
halo of light for those to walk in. Re-
lations from Springville, Scranton, Oily
phant, and Owego, N. Y, came to her
funeral, and friends from both of Mr..
Davids former appointments mingled
their tears with the many sorrowing
ones on this charge. The burial was
at Peckville, whore Revs. w. S. Thorpe
and $. G. Simpkins officiated, and mem
bers of the Epworth League there of
which Mrs. David was the efficient
secretary in it's early history, partici-
pated in the last sad rites.
The funeral of the wife of John Merk
of Carbondale, who died at her sis
ter's here, was held in the NJ f. church
here Saturday afternoon, and attend
ed by many relatives from out OF
town. Rev. p. r. Tower ofilciated.

NO TAX PLACED
ON MALT LIQUOR
The Plans for Raising More Revenue Are
Agreed Upon.
RESULT OF SENATOR QUAY's VISIT
The Leaders Have Agreed to Re-
duce the School Appropriation
100000 Year--Liquor Lice nse
in Small Towns will BE Doubled.

Harrisburg, June Ex-senator Quay
spent several hours today in conference
with Governor Hastings and leaders of
the senate and house on the revenue
question. AS a result of the senator's
visit the leaders have agreed to reduce
the school Appropriation $4,000 a year,
and drop the amended inheritance tax
bill and trust to the supreme court
to declare the original law constitu-
tional.
1t has also been decided to plase no
tax on malt liquors, but in its stead
double the liquor licenses in boroughs,
townships and cities other than those
of the first and second classes and cut
quasi state charities 20 per cent. A
state tax is to be put on brewers and
distillers according to their output. 1t
is claimed that If this plan goes through
it will raise sufficient revenue to cover
the deficit of $3500,000 and meet the
expenses of the state government.
Senator Quay went to Washington this
afternoon.
