Miss Schooner ia the manipula-

Is phenomally wide, her execution
brilliant to a degree, her tone full

Schooner has repertory covering
the whole wide field of compost

at home whether the selection be a
familiar "tune" or an elaborate and

Karshner Home Burned.

Shortly before 2 O'Clock, Friday,
the alarm Of fire was given from
the southeast end of Adelphi. and
hurried visit to that locality re-
vealed the fact that the residence
of Jacob Ell. Karshner was enyel-
oped in flames. The upper part of
the building burned rapidly and
soon fell In, while the next hour
witnessed the entire destruction of
the residence. With great diff.
cdlty,most of the furniture and bed
ding was saved, as was also the
out-buildings and their contents.
The loss is about $500.
The cause of the fire is unknown
as no member of the family was
home at the time, Mrs. McCabe
having just gone to LaurelvilIe TO
purchase wall paper with which
she intended to paper one of the
rooms. The house was almost con-
sumed on her return, and the an
guish of the poor woman was pitt
able. The property was not Ia
sured.--Adelphi Border News.

Obituary.

DoLLIsoN Armstrong Dollison
was born in Bucks county, Penn,
June 9th, 1916. Died in Gibson
vile, Hooking county, Ohio, April
9th, 1899, aged so years, mo-, and
l days. He united in marriage
with Margaret Burley in 1888. This
union was blessed by 10 children,
8 sons and 2 daughters. Five OF
the sons have preceded him, all of
whom died young. He leaves an
aged companion, 70 years old, 8
sons, two daughters, l6 grand chill
dren and great-grand children.
He lived in the Calvinistic faith !:
the Old School Baptist church be-
Ing his choice, with which, how
ever, he never united. About two
years before his death he said "that
after a year OF earnest, sincere re-
pentance, he felt the burden of sin
removed" and rejoiced with a
Christians hope. He expressed his
willingness and even anxiety to die
many times before death came and
rejoiced that he had found Jesus as
his personal Savior.
We rejoice with exceeding great
JOY to know that he has gone to his
Fathers home. After the sermon

Fire in Western Hooking

[ Aoelphi Border Fews, Aprii7.l
Between the hours of three and
four o'clock yesterday morning, the
members of Frank Davis family
were aroused from their sIumbers
by the cracking of timbers and the
intense glare of fire that penetrated
through the blinds in the bedroom.
Hastily donning the necessary gar
ments, and rushing from the house,
they discovered that the store
building, a few feet north of the
residence from which they had just
escaped was about to topple in. A
desperate effort was made to save
the furniture, etc., but only a few
articles were rescued before the
building became unsafe. Attention
was then directed to the large barn
and other buildings north of the
store room, but it was soon found
that it also was doomed, and the
horse confined therein was rescued
with difficulty. Mr.. Davis loss is
fully two thousand dollars, and for
insurance we have not learned how
mnch is carried, if any.
There was about $4,000 worth of
goods in the store room which was
the property of Leonard Devault.
Mr.. Devault carried no insurance.
Neighbors and others who wit
messed the fire surmise that the
store room was burglarized by per-
sons who were more or less ac-
quainted with the premises, and in
the attempt to cover up their
tracks, the building was purposely
fred, and the result was all that
could be wished for by the burg
lars. A suspicion is held by Mr..
Davis and Mr.. De~ault, as to the
guilty ones, and an effort will be
made to convict them.

j, II, Myers, Dead.

Logan was shocked Tuesday af-
ternooti by the announcement that
j. III. Myers had suddenly dropped
dead at his home on West Main
street. He has been for some time
assisting County Treasurer Kline
in his Office and doing other work
about the court house for county
officers. He was, as usual. at the
court house entrance Wednesday
morning when the writer came
down street, and he talked with US
in his usual pleasant manner. 1t
was indeed a shock to US to learn
of his death ia the early afternoon.
j. Fl. Myers was born Nov. 5, 1888,
In Pickaway county, land lived
to the age of 65 years, 8 months and
6 days. lie leaves wife, two sons
and two daughters. One son lives

ers, of Columbus. are here In attend
ance at his obsequies, which took
place from his home at 10 O'Clock
this morning, under the auspices of
the Masonic fraternity.
In 1869 Mr.. Myers was elected
sheriff of Tasbel county, ILL.,, aud
served eight years. In later years
he moved with his family to Hook
ing county, locating at Blooming
vile in the rail road and oil inter
ests. These industries tagging he
started a store in that town and
enjoyed a good business for some
time. Subsequently he was ap.
pointed postmaster and served -four
years. About one year ago he
moved with his family to Logan
and has been a amiable and re.
spected citizen among us. He had
a host OF friends in Logan who
mourn with the family in his sud
den taking off.
