AN AHED RESIDENT PASSES AWAY.

Joseph Vanderslice, died Sunday
morning in the eighty-thlrd year of his
age, at the residence of Daniel S.
Laubach, on East Third Street, where
he had been making his home for
over year. Mr.. Vanderslice, had
been feeble fot long time and his
death was not at all unexpected. He
was son of Joseph r. Vanderslice
and was born in Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, in 1913. The same
year of his birth, his parents moved
or farm in Mt. Pleasant township,
this County. He remained at home
until he reached his maturity, after
which he began tor himself, choosing
the life of a farmer, in which he was
quite successful He was married in
1884 to Miss Margaret, daughter of
he late Judge McReynolds of Hem
lock township, this County, and a
sister of DR. McReynolds, of West
Third Street, this town. AS a result
of this union, four children we're born,
two are dead. The survivors are
Agnes, of St. Paul, Minnesota, and
John, living in Luzerne County. Mrs.
Vanderslice died about sixteen years
ago.
The funeral will occur to-day. Ser
vices will be conducted at the house

Home Trade.

People who have at heart the inter
ests of the community in which they
live, will spend their money at home
as far as possible To be sure, one
finds larger assortment to select
from in the larger city stores, in all
kinds of goods, but home dealers in
most all lines, can procure selection
at any time, ii given the opportunity.
Money spent at home helps every
body. Money sent away for goods
that could be procured at home, helps
nobody but the sender and the city
tradesman. 1t is good plan to give
home dealers the first chance, and if
they can't supply you then send away
but don't take it for granted that you
can't get what you want at home
until you ask.

An article appeared in this paper,
last week, concerning the manage
ment of the Bloomsburg Wheelmen's
Club, which seems to have cast some
reflection on the treasurer, Thomas
Moore, for not submitting statements
of the finances. His reelection to
the same position indicates that the
club has confidence IN him, and we
are informed that his reports have al
ways been ready when wanted. If
there was any fault it was because
they were not called for. In any
event the matter is private one be-
tween the club and its treasurer, and
net a subject for newspaper comment.
1t was hastily written, just as we
were going to press, and unintention-
ally escaped the eye of the editor, oil
it would not have been printed. The
editor is assured that there was no in
tention to reflect on Mr.. Moore, and
we regret that the article was SC
worded as to give that impression.

MRS. MARY BARTON MENDBNHALL.

Mrs. Mary Barton Mendenhall,
relct of the late Elias Mendenhall,
died at her home on Normal Hill, at
an early hour Sunday morning. 1t
would seem fitting and proper that
more than brief tribute of respect
be paid her memory. Mrs. Menden.
hall had been unwell for long time,
but tried to conceal from the other
members of the family her failing
health, confident that she would yet
be well, but the disease with which she
was afflicted, became more complicat-
ed, she continued to grow weaker,
until about 6:3o o'clock Sunday morn
ing, when she quiely submitted
herself to the will OF Him, in whose
hands are the issues of life, and sank
to the sleep that knows no waking.
Thomas Barton, the great-grand
father of Mrs. Mary Mendenhall, emf
grated with his wife, Hannah Clark,
from England to Virginia and settled
on the James River, being among the
first settlers in the country. They
afterward moved to Pennsylvania ator
near Philadelphia. They had ten
children who settled in various parts
of the Unrt9d States: Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Tennessee, New Jersey
and Virginia. One son, Elisha was
born in Virginia in t74a. AS his
second wife he married Anna Nc
Carter. With her he moved to Hem.
lock township, near the Red Mill. OF
their children, Isaiah, John, Anna,
married to Abraham Klotz; Caleb,
Cyrus, and Betsy, married to William
Robson, all settled in or nearby
Bloomsburg. Isaiah married Mary
Thornton; they lived on the farm by
the Hemlock bridge. Their children
Of whom Mrs. .Mendenhall was the
youngest were: Mrs. Evalna Rupert,
Caleb, James, Elisha and Eli all form
er residents of Bloomsburg. Mary
was married to Elias Mendenhall and
they had hve children, two of whom,
Charles R., and Harry c., are living.
The eldest son Isaiah died in early
manhood.
Mrs. Mendenhall inherited from her
ancestors sterling qualities. BY heI
kindly bright manner she made and
retained many friends. Her ancest.
ors for generations were connected
with the Episcopal churcn, of which
she was an active and faithful mem.

The funeral occurred from the resi.

THE SAINT IRENE FLoATED.
The Steamer Pulled From Her Muddy
Bed in the Willamette.

The steamship st. Irene has at last
been foated and the work of restoring
to her hold that portion of her cargo
necessarily removed to lighter her, is
now in full swing
The ST. Irene left 1er muddy bed
carly yesterday morning, the excavat-
ing work done by the dredgers to-
gether with the drawing force of sew
eral river tugs and steamers succeed
ing in getting the steamship into deep
er water.
The -four which was removed from
her hold to barges-in all. several
hundred tons-will be replaced while
the ST. Irene remains In her present
location. Large quantities of flour
were returned TO the dock at Portland,
but this will be brought alongside on
barges.
1t is believed that the St. Irene will
be able to leave down the river for
Astoria today. Immediately upon her
arrival she will take on board about
800 tons more Of cargo, after which she
will proceed to sea and the Orient.

WHERE WATER is DEEP ENOUGH
Tacoma Ledger.

Tacoma Ledger.
Bad luck seems to follow the steam
ship Saint Irene on this trip. On her
way from Tacoma to Portland she ran
down the bark Temuco at Port Town
send and has to pay damages there
for. Now news comes that after load
ing her cargo in Portland the ship run
ashore in the Willamette river while
yet inside the city limits. When the
steamer struck hard and fast in the
river, two river steamers were run out
to her and the work of lightering her
cargo was begun. When she is finally
finally worked off the beach it is under
stood that she will be run down to
Astoria and load the balance OF her
cargo there. where the water is deep
enough to make 1t comparatively safe

VERDICT FOR TELLER.
Jury Declares That Anderson Must
Pay That $3.50

The jury in the case OF Teller VS..
Anderson brought In a verdict for the
plaintiff yesterday afternoon after
having been out only few minutes.
Henry Teller, the plaintiff. brought
suit against George Anderson in the
capacity OF executor of the will OF II.
]. Anderson, for the recovery OF $3.50
alleged to be due on a promisory note,
A singular fact in connection with
the case is that Teller and Anderson
are brothers-ln-law and that Ander-
son, the defendant, was a son OF the
man whose estate Teller Is endeavor-
ing to settle up. There Is a big fam
lily skeleton In the closet but as II was
not brought In issue in the court pro-
ceedlngs no reference will be made to
Il further than to state that Anderson
contends that II was never intended
that he should pay the note, under a
mutual understanding prior to his
fathers death, and that Teller's ac-
tion at this time is part of we'll
devised and premedltated plan to OBJ
tain possession of everything left by
the senior Anderson at the time Of his
death. He states that he had offered
to pay the amount of the note sew
eral years ago but that his father re-
fused to accept the money, explaining
that he desired him to keep 1t as his
own. The points presented for de-
cision by the jury, however, We're
highly technical and no doubt were
decided according to the law. as all
parties concerned now admit.
