A Young Lady's Sad Death.

The community was startled and
saddened Wednesday morning to
learn of the death of Elizabeth r.
Kuhn, which occurred about 9:3o
o'clock Tuesday night. For the past
several months she had been i'll, but
her friends were hopeful OF her re-
covery. On Friday she made several
calls among friends. Saturday her
condition took an alarming phase, and
and in spite of medical skill, she con-
tinued to sink until death came at the
above mentioned time. Miss Kuhn
was the youngest daughter of the late
|. S. Kuhn. She was twenty-seven
years of age, and was most an estima-
BILE young lady. She was an interest
ing figure in society, and the fading
out of the young life is very pathetic
A mother and four sisters survive,
Mrs. DR.. Kirby, of Mauch Chunk,
Mrs. Butler, Mrs. J. G. Wells, and
Mrs. J. K. Blttenbender, of this town.
Funeral services will be conducted
at the house tomorrow afternoon at

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 a 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 il
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.

A Remarkable Performer.

The NezoS of Wilkes-Barre has the
following to say about Miss Elsie
Hicks, daughter of VIM. Hicks, of
this town:
"The Musical Club held its fourth
recital at the home of Miss Joseph
inc Loveland, Friday afternoon, and
there was great enthusiasm over the
afternoons music. Many of the mem
bers declared it was the best musical
event that they had ever heard rem
dered in Wilkes-B Barre by amateur tai
ent. The event par excellence was
the piano playing of Miss Elsie Hicks,
of Bloomsbury She is a young miss
of only seventeen, and she has been
studying in serious vein only three
years, SO it is stated, but she shows a
remarkable gift, not only for conquer
ing the technical difficulties, but for
grasping the impressions of the COM
poser. In other words, even at this
early age, she has, decidedly marked,
that rare thing known among music
ians as temperament, sine qua non
of successful musicians, and without
which they can never rise above a
certain point, no matter how hard
and continued the effort. Miss Hicks
is remarkable performer, and after
her playing of the tremendously diff
cult Rhapsodie No. IS; a composition
filled with technical difficulty, the
members of the club gathered around
and congratulated her. They are al
ready planning to have her again az
soon as possible, and when she viii
have the opportunity OF being hearo
before a larger audience. A more
appreciative gathering than that which
heard her Friday, however, would be
impossible to muster. She plays will
the utmost confidence and makes M
concessions whatever to nervousness.

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 a private one be-
tween the club and its treasurer, and
net subject for newspaper comment.
1t was hastily written, just as we
were going to press, and unintention-
ally escaped the eye of the editor, OF
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 MENDENHALL.

MIS. MdIy DdItOl MCuuCIlldll,
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 at or
near Philadelphia. They had ten
children who settled in various parts
of the Unrtod States: Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Tennessee, New Jersey
and Virginia. One son, Elisha was
born in Virginia in I742. 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. Mendenhal was the
youngest were: Mrs. Evalina Rupert,
Caleb, James, Elisha and Eli all form
er residents of Bloomsburg. Mary
was married to Elias Mendenhall anC
they had hve children, two of whom
Charles R., and Harry c., are living
The eldest son Isaiah died in earl,
manhood.
Mrs. Mendenhall inherited from hel
ancestors sterling qualities. BY he
kindly bright manner she made ant
retained many friends. Her ancest
ors for generations were connected
with the Episcopal church, of which
she was an active and faithful mem
Der.

Senator Reeds bill to regulate FIRE
Insurance will cause many persons TO
read their fire policies with new in-
terest. The bill, which il worthy
measure, provides that insurance com
panies using the oo-insuanoe clause
IN their policies shall make redue-
ton IN their premiums proportionate
to the amount of loss the companies
will pay IN case Of fire.
The CO insurance clause requires
the insured 10 insure OF least SO per
cent. Of the value of his property a nd
If he does not, no matter what sum he
is insured for, he will get In case of
total loss only proportion of the a.
mount Of his policy
If the house is worth $40, 600 and he
insures for $6, 900, the company agrees
to pay one half Of its risk. or M. 800,
AJooeoso by the co insurance clause,
the owner assums half of the risk and
the company tue other half Any loss
less than total is divided in the same
way The company Will pay but one
half of its risk, although the owner is
paying on 50, 600 II every one who
insured against fire fully understood
the effect Of the co insurance clause,
there would be less objection to it,
but the great majority of insurers do
not understand the effect of the clause,
and for the benefit of all the people il
should be made clear and the demand
that the company charge only for the
risk it assums is only fair.
If the companies want to force ey-
eryone To insure at least so per cent.
OF the value they should refuse to in
sure property for a lower percentage
of total value. There is an element Of
fraud IN the present practice of com
panies which use the co insurance
clause. They charge for insurance
that they do not give Jersey City
journal.

The developments In the Montana
Senatorial bribery investigation are Of
the most discreditable if not criminal
character, but they are ouly remark
able because of the great sums men
toned as having been offered and paid

not always because of merit IN some
States IN the Union, and in some
States elections fail because of the
use of money.to prevent them Wheth

WEDNESDAY. FEB. 81, 1900.

When the Democrats controlled the
State Legislature they treated the Re
publican minority with marked unfair
ness and diseourtesy, which went the
iength on some occasions OF unseating
Republicans who were elected by the
people, in order to secure 4 majority
in joint meeting.
Since the Republicans have been in
control of the Legislature the Demo
cratic minority has been treated fairly
aud oourteously, even when they were
inclined to abuse their privileges, yet
the Democratic editors are whining
and squealing because House Com
mittee would not drop other business
to attend to puerile resolution that
had been introduced for buneombe
