Death OF Mrs. Oordelia Kisuer.

On Wednesday morning at eight
o'clock, Mrs. Cordelia Kisner, after
an illness dating from the Iath of last
December, passed peacefully away,
aged 73 years, S months and 3 days.
On that day she was stricken with
paralysis, of which there had been
several slight indications previous to
that time. Only the most careful
nursing and medical attention follow
ing the last heavy stroke, and the faith
ful continuance of these ministratlons
have held her waning life to earth
longer than the most anxious watcher
of her condition could hope for. Her
continued existence all through the
winter, spring and summer months
was also due in a measure to wond-
erful vitality which manifested itself
in the elastic step and general good
health she possessed until within a
year of her death. But at last to her
has come, as it must to all of US, the
time when "the silver cord is loosed,
the golden bowl is broken"
Mrs. Kisner, was daughter OF
Nicholas and Catharine Seybert, born
in Salem twp. Feb. 20, 1897. She
was married to Reuben Klsner in
1851. Her husband having died in
1882, she removed with her family to
Berwick in 1898, where they have
since resided. She is survived by five
children, Margaret c., wife of Joseph
Eek, of Briar Creek, Mary c., and
Charles N, living at home, Annie H.,
wife of DR.. Vance, Of Orangeville,, and
Eliza S., wife of DR.. N. H. Meyers, OF
Plymouth. She is also survived by a
sister, Mrs. f. H. Little, of Blooms
burg.

BOILER EXPLODES.
Three Men Seriously Injured
Near Benton.
A Saw Mill, The Property of
Everett e. IkeIer Completely
Ruined.

A serious and almost fatal explosion
occurred at Everett & Ikeler's saw
mill, near Benton Friday afternoon
last. The plant was completely de-
mollshed and three employees, badly
injured. The unfortunate men are
Charles Savage, face and body cut;
Robert Evans, wounded internally
and considerably bruised about the
body, and Emanuel Bender, struck by
a flying missile. The latter's injuries
were of very alarming nature and it
was at first thought that his life could
not be saved. His condition however,
is greatly improved and the probabili.
ties are that he will recover.
A fire was discovered in a lot OF
wood near the boiler, and the men at
once set to work to extlnguish it.
Some of the water went on the boiler
and this it is said caused the explos-
ion.

Camp Idleness.

A big hack load left town Sunday
morning for Camp Idleness, where
they spent the day. They report hav-
ing had fine time. Judging from
their description of the Camp it must
be beautiful spot, just such a place
as Eugene Fields had in mind when
he wrote:
at seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, nor whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs don't
sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around.
Not really stiffness, but just the trees
Low Whisperings, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks faint babblng over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
Or maybe cricket or katydid,
Or the songs of the birds in the hedges
hid,
Or just some such sweet sounds as
these
To fill the tired heart with ease"
Taking advantage of the facilities
we called up the campers by telephone
this morning to learn the latest hap
penings. o. w. Ent answered the
call. Just as he was ringing the bell,
Freeze Quick appeared in camp with
an IS inch bass, which he had landed
only few minutes before. Ed. Clark
also caught a 70 incher of the same
species. We can almost vouch for the
truthfullness of these too catches, as
the first one was held up to the tele-
phone, and we are convinced from the
way it slammed against the transmetter
that it was a monster.
Among the Camps other success
full anglers are Harry Deer and Clark
Hagenbuch. They were pulling pike
out of the creek so fast that Mr.. Ent
became confused trying to count them.
If the total number caught by these
two gentlemen, during their life in
Camp, isn't too great to express with
figures we will give it IN our next
issue.
]. S. Bachman and c. B. Ent were
guests Tuesday afternoon.
Included among the number which
visited the campers on Sunday were
David S. Pancost and John Faloney,
two Of Shamokin's young business
men. The former is the manager of
Tooley & Co.'S, store in that town.
The train conveying the Lutheran
Church picnic to Grassmere Park was
slightly wrecked short distance be-
low Camp Wednesday morning. All
the Id!ers hurried to the assistance Of
the trainmen, the broken wheel and
brake repaired and the excursionists
sent on their way rejoicing.

Live and Dead Towns.

In speaking of the conditions OF
towns IN this state, the PeHna. Record
published at Altoona, says: "Some
communities progress, while others
either stand still or retrograde. Some
times this is due to national condl-
tions, but just as often it is due to the
people themselves. A town will never
grow unless the people in it care some
thing for success. If each cares only
for his individual prosperity, the town
is destined to become dead. If the
live towns are investigated, they are
found to be towns in which the people
have an interest IN each other. They
help along public enterprise both by
good will and money. The dead
towns are those IN which the people
want an indemnifylng bond, guaran-
teeing a profit Of not less than ten
per cent. before they will make an In
vestment."

FRIGHT ENDS IN DEATH.
Eeward Moore, Succumbs 10 Scare 0ccas
stoned by Robbers.

In Fairmount township, Luzerne
county, Monday night, occurred the
death Of Edward Moore, who togeth-
er with his wife were subjected to
torture by three masked robbers at
their home about five weeks ago. The
three outlaws in question entered the
Moore home about half past one in
the morning and because Moore
would not divulge the whereabouts OF
his money he and his wife were cruelty
treated. The fright received at this
invasion is the direct cause of Moore's
death, he never fully recovered
his senses.
The funeral occurred on Tuesday,
and was largely attended by friends
Interment took place in the cemetery
