MARY OLIVE SpANGLER.

Last Friday morning, Mrs. Will
Hoie of this place, received by
telephone the sad news that her
sister, Miss Ollie Spangler, was
dangerously i'll at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. IL.
Spangler, at Wells Tannery. Mr..
and Mrs. Hoke started at once,
and reached the Spangler home
about 1 O'Clock, but found Miss
Spangler in an unconscious con
dition, in which she fingered un-

morning, when the Savior called
her gentle spirit to Himself, there
to await the home gathering of
the almost heart broken friends
lett behind.
Miss Spangler has been in frail
health for some time; but her
condition was not such as to cause
any apprehension ON the part of
her family. About two weeks
ago she noticed that she was
growing weaker, but continued
the performance of her usual
work about the home. Being a
consecrated worker in the Pine
Grove Nj. r. church, she attended
Sunday school and played the or
gan, as was her custom, to the
last Sunday of her life.
On Thursday evening of last
week, she ate a hearty supper,
and seemed just as bright and
cheerful as usual. But, alas!
How near any of us are to deaths
door, none but God knows. Omit
ting further details, it is enough
to say that before midnight, she
was stricken with paralysis of the
heart, becameatOnce unconscious
and remained in this condition
twenty-four hours, when death
closed her life ON earth.
In addition to her parents,
there survive her, Laura, Mrs.

John, Of Steele, North Dakota;
Harry, Of Wells Tannery, and

MRS. BLAIR RODCAY.

Mention was made in these col
umns last week that Mrs. Blair
Rodcay Of this place, had run a
nail into her foot. Wednesday
morning of this week she died.
Associating those two facts, the
inference would be that the pune
ture made by the nail was the
cause of her death. Her physi-
chm, Drs. Dalbey and McKibbin,
say that the nail had practically
little to do with her death outside
of the effect that an over active
imagination might have over a
weakened nervous system. Mrs.
Rodcay has not been well for sew
eral months, and during the past
few days has been Suffering from
nervous prostration, and the death
was directly due to heart failure.

FROM HARRY MOSSER.
a Former Ayr Township Boy
Writes from the Philippines.

Under date Of April 24th MIR.
Mosser writes to his uncle Har-
man B. Hege as follows:
"I am well but we have twenty
five on the sick list now, and Co.
II has more than that.
The "niggers" won't let us
alone. They have some fighting
material smuggled on TO the is
land, and about the time the rainy
season sets in they will give us
. | wish they would stand
up and fight; but they will not do
that, so we have to run after them
like dogs; and, when it gets too
warm for them, they hide their
guns, scratch their toes, take off
their hats, and pretend they were
just in fun.
When a whole Company of our
boys go out, they will not be mo
Tested, but if twenty on thirty go
out, the blackskins will get their
guns and make it interesting for
us; this they will do until they
find we are to be reinforced, and
then they will run.

enlistment | am glad Of it, for
| want to serve all my time. |

boys are going to re-enlist. |
will come home, however, before
| enlist again.
You asked me about the size of
this town and what it is like
Well, it is fine place. The pop
ulation is about three thousand.
We have a civil government
They elect a President and have
a police force. The police do
not monkey with the soldiers.
They treat us pretty well. There
is some talk Of our moving, but

Well, guess you are prepar-
ING to plant corn now They do
not farm with horses here. They
have a large animal they use in

us. They nearly killed one of

too. They are just getting ripe

This is Il fine country but very
many of our men are getting

How a Fulton County Boy Got to
St. Louis.
DEAR EDITOR.

ST.. LOUIS.
DEAR EDITOR:
70 while away the time | shall
try to jot down some of the hap
penings of the outside world that
never trouble the Inhabitants of
Little Fulton. 50
On the fine morning of June 4,
1900, a former Fulton county boy
was strolling the streets of Phila-
dclphia He chanced to glance at
the ad. column of the Inquirer,
and an advertisement for street
car men caught his eye. Appli-
cation was to be made at the
Heed Building. Then Fulton S
son quickened his steps along the
streets of the City of Father
Penn.
When the office door opened
there was a rush. Soon the room
was filled to overflowing. Then
N. j. Farrand, the company
representative, addressed the
audience thus:
81 will tell you right here, these
men are to go to st. Louis; and
those that can t or don't want to
go, step outside and give room
to those that do want to 60"
There was lull after that
speech. A good many passed out
and disappeared down the eleva-
tor; but others came, and soon
the room was crowded again.
Then Mr.. Farrand, began to
explain his mission, by telling
the boys of the strike in st.
Louis-telling us that it was not
a question of less hours and
more pay; for, if it were a ques-
ton of wages, his name would
not figure in it.
Mr.. Farrand also said that the
Street Car Union of st. Louis,
wanted the Company to hire just
such men as the Union recon-
mended, and that the Company
should discharge no man without
the Unions consent. "If the
men were striking for their just
rights, would not be here" said
he, "but instead of the men doing
the striking, some of the officers
of the Union have melted the men
to strike" 1t is supposed that
the Company is capable of run
ming it's own business, therefore
it should hire and discharge such
men as it saw fit to hire and dis
charge.
Reading of the unrestrained
conduct of strikers, we came to
the conclusion if we fight capital
trusts, we must fight labor trusts,
for neither are for the good of the
commonality. By Wednesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock about three !
hundred had volunteered to go.
About 4 o'clock, the men began to
assemble at Broad Street Station
and by 5 o'clock they were all on
board a.special train provided by |
the st. Louis Transit Company.
The conditions that the men
went under were, that experience
ed railroad men should be trans
ported free and receive 50 per
day and board and lodging free
to be paid whetherthey worked
or not provided they reported for
duty. Inexperienced men were
put ON cars to receive instruction,
and when they were turned in
they We're to receive pay whether
they worked or not. Some mex
perienced men were turned ia, in
three days; some in four, and
some have not been turned in yet.
Those that are turned IN are wait
ing to be placed, but their pay is
coming just the same. So we are
not kicking much. S. ID. A.

Dastardly Attempt to Set Fire
to the Macksburg School
Building.

Macksburg, o., Jan. 18.-A dastardly
attempt was made to burn the public
school building at this place last even
ing. At about seven o'clock in THE eve
ming strange lights were seen in the
back room In the second story fthe
building. On investigation it was
found that the ceiling in the center CT
the room was burning. This was over
the stove and at place where the
stovepipe was extended through the
ceiling. The fire had apparently not
been burning long and was soon under
control. The place about the fire was
saturated with Gil and beside the fire
was quart bottle which still contain
ed little oil. AS the windows had
not been fastened any one could enter
the house without difficulty.
The prevailing opinion is that the
building was fired with the intention
of producing an excitement, which
would make easy some plan of robbery.
Further there Is no clue.

of the city schools. at the new Marion

appearance inside, the decorations be-

company sat down to a sumptuous
supper, after which many happy
speeches were made by members of

The Macksburg Bridge.

Up in Aurellus township there is a
section which extends northward and
Is inclosed on three sides by Noble
county, whose people are anxious to
secure the transfer of the section to
their county, and 1t Is said the Com
missloners of Noble county are rub
bing their hands in glee at the pros
peGt of getting the section added to
their domain.
The people of this particular strip of
territory do their dealing mostly in
Macksburg. which is located near the
southern section line. But in order
to get into the village they are forced
to come down Duck Creek a consider
able distance this side of Macksburg
before they can cross to the Macksburg
side OF the creek. They have repeat
edly asked for a bridge at the north
end of the village, and the Washington
county Commissioners have had the
matter under Consideration for some
time, too long. perhaps. to suit the
people of the section, and now they are
on the point of presenting the case tc
the Legislature with the hope of be-
ing transferred to Noble county, whose
Commissioners have promised to build
bridge as soon as the transfer is
made.
However, the hope of the Noble
county Commissioners to secure the
transfer of a big lot OF property from
the Washington county duplicate to
their own will probably soon be blast
ed, as the Washington county Board
are about ready to build the bridge.
