Sewer Ulogged.

A stoppage in the sewer, on Main
street, at Market square, caused the
water to back up and overflow through
the water closets in the easements Of
B. A. Gldding's and F. ID. Dentler's
stores, to depth OF nearly two feet.
1t was also coming into r. Town.
sends basement, but was discovered
IN time to stop it, by having the pipes
plugged. Mr.. Gidding had box of
overcoats damaged, and Mr.. Dentler
had number of cases of felt and
gum boots we'll soaked. Under the
direction of Town Engineer Brown
and Street Commissioner Neyhard,
an opening was made just below the
Bank crossing, down to the sewer
pipe, and the obstruction was removed
by running long flexible rod into
the pipe. A piece of stick was found,
on which strings had caught until it
had half filled the pipe. AS the pipe
always was too small, and runs full all
the time, this was enough to back the
water up as above related. Sticks
and strings, or anything else that may
clog the pipe, should not be thrown
into the sewers.

Mrs. Beth Runyon Hodgdon.

A telegram was received by the
family of Mr.. Layton Runyon on
Monday morning conveying to them
the sad intelligence that Mrs. Martha
Elizabeth Hodgdon had expired at
her home in Minneapolis, Mimi, at
one o'clock in the morning. She had
been in feeble health for several years,
a sufferer from consumption. Every
effort had been made TO benefit her.
Two years ago she spent the summer
in Asheville, North Carolina, hoping
that the pine woods of the South
would help her as it had many others
with similar disease, but, though she
obtained temporary relief, the benefit
was not permanent, and she gradually
grew worse until the end came. She
was a daughter of the late Israel
Runyon of Plainheld, New Jersey,
and neice of Layton Runyon. After
the death of her parents she came
here to reside in the family of Mr..
Runyon and remained about ten years,
until she was married to Henry w.
Hodgdon on February 9th, 1898,
when they went to his home In
Scranton to reside. A few years later
they moved to Minneapolis. Mrs.
Hodgdon's age was about thirty two
years. Her husband and little daughter
Catharine, aged four years, survive
her.
When as Miss Beth Runyon, she
resided here, her cheerful disposition,
and her attractive manners, made her
a favorlte in social circles She was
possessed of sweet soprano voice
and was a member of the Presbyter
ian choir for many years She was
always ready and willing to sing at en-
tertainments tor charity, or for church
work, and when she left here she Wa!
sadly missed. Her life work is now
ended, cut off in the very bloom o
womanhood, and the sympathy o
many loving friends goes out to th'
bereaved family.

Old Folks Day in the M. E. Church,

Under the auspices of the Epworth
League, last Sunday morning, Old
Folks Day was observed in the NJ.
E. Church. A committee of arrange
ments was appointed, who visited all
members sixty years old and over,
offering carriages to all SO desiring.
The church was beautifully decorated,
a handsome back ground, in the rear
of the pulpit, with the words, "A
Good Old Age" being prominent
Appropriate badges were worn by the
committee of reception and ushers,
and as these old soldiers of the cross
were brought to the church in CART
ages, they were met at the door and
presented with flowers, with a card
attached, bearing appropriate words
O. welcome and cheer, and conduct
ed to front seats. The pastor, DIR.
Frysinger, preached from the text, "A
Good Old Age" Special music had
been prepared. The large auditor
inn was filled, and the service was
very interesting and profitable
throughout, and, we think, other
churches would enjoy just such ser
vice. H.

Col. I. G. Freeze, and was admitted
TO practice in September 1868. Since
1872 when he retired from the office
OF Superintendent of schools, he has
given his entire attention to the law,

the safest counsellors at the bar o

There will, no doubt, be the usual
number of pickpockets and swindlerS
on the Fair grounds. The town is
full of pretty hard looking people.
No swindling games are allowed on
the grounds, but there are many little
games being worked on the SLY, All
that is needed to make them success
ful is the sucker to nibble at the bait.
Though the newspapers, year after
year, call attention to these things
we always hear of several persons who
have lost their money trying to beat
swindlers at their own games. Don't
try it. 1t can't be done.

Bogus Postage Stamps.

Muncie, Ind. May 17.-One of
the government detectives who
has been working on the Muncle
end Of the Cuban postoffice en-
bezzlement case made the state
ment to-day that the real steal has
been the sale Of counterfeit stamps
which, it is alleged, have been
printed in the office of a printing
company in this city. Thousands
of dollars worth Of bogus stamps
are said to have been issued and
distributed to Cuban postmasters,
number of whom, it is alleged,
shared in the profits. The printing
office is said to have been searched
from garnet to cellar for the mate
rial used. Heretofore the search
here was supposed to be for an
alleged package of money. 1t is
asserted that almost 100000 of
these bogus stamps have been
printed in Muncie and sent for
distribution to Cuban postofices.
The system was to distribute these
stamps IN numbers that would not
cause suspicion to officers who
furnished the regular consign-
ments.

A G. Campbell For Sheriff.
%*+@|**%


We call attention to the
card of A. G. Campbell, OF
Aberdeen, who is in the race
for sheriff Of this county, and
is asking for the nomination
by the Democratic county
convention which meets in
Carthage Friday June l. We
believe Mr.. Campbell is thor
oughly competent to dis
charge the duties Of this Of
flee and as to existing condl-
lions we respectfully refer to
the following communication
from Lawyer J. Men Johnson
in the Aberdeen Telegram.
The scramble for the nom
nation for sheriff is really be-
coming unseemly. Two years
ago the nomination went beg
ging, and the honor was &C
copied by Mr.. A.C. Campbell,
as sterling and unassuming
Democrat as our county con-
tains. In the fall Of the politi-
cal Kaleidoscope the fortunes
of war were not with MIR.
Campbell and he cheerfully
accepted his defeat, though
his friends were oppressed
with the scent of fish, and
many Democrats from all
parts of the County volun-
teered the assurance that Mr..
Campbell should be both NOM
mated and elected in 1900.
Now the Democracy of the
County is merely cited to the
justice of the matter, and
asked to nominate this splen-
did man by reclamation. He
is too modest to press his
claim beyond a dignified offer
of his services to his county.
It really seems to me like
every Democrat who is un.
biased by selfish motives must
recognize Mr.. Campbells
right to the nomination.
