Adjournment,
A Great Misfortune ,

E. G. Davy, who resides at Four Mile,
where he conducts saw mill and farm
met with great misfortune last Sun
day morning. About midnight Mr..
Davy awoke and discovered his barn
to be in flames and quickly hurried to
the scene, but was unable to rescue
any of the stock and all but one young
steer persisted. The barn, in addition
to nine tons of hay, feed, carriage,
wagons, harness, sleighs, farming
utensils, ETC., containing eleven head
of cattle and one horse burned to death
before his eyes. The horse was owned
by A. III. Farr, of Emporium, and was
highly priced as a family pet. The
loss is a severe one on Mr. Davy, who
places his damage at 81 900, upon which
he had no insurance.
The cause of the fire is mystery
and from the fact that at seven o'clock
the barn was securely fastened for the
night and that when the flames are
supposed to have burned the rope al
lowing the young critter to escape is
evidence that the door was not fasten-
ed. Mr.. Davy is hard working, in
dustrious citizen, and this severe loss
will be hard to bear.

What's The IIse2

A writer in an exchange, though tax
ing a somewhat pessimistic view of
things, nevertheless hits the BULBS eye
when he says this is an age of hustle,
hustle and sweat. A man hustles from
early dawn until the katydids sing in
the twilight, for three meals day and
place in which to lie awake at night
and worry aboutit. If he doesn't over
work he is called lazy and if he does
overwork he grows crazy. He tolls
and saves through the days of his youth,
so that when he grows old he can wear
silk hat and sit on the knee of luxury,
but when his hair turns to snow and
his whiskers grow thin and gray in
life's late afternoon, he finds that he
has been victimized and previously
buncoed by his own calculations, and
that rheumatism and poor relations
have shattered all his dreams and
punctured his fondest hopes and de-
sires. "What's the use ?"

r1others' neeting.

A Mothers Meeting will be held in
the High School room in Emporium,
Saturday, Feb. % at 2:3O p. m. Special
announcement will be sent to each
home as far as can be done, but owing
to the difficulty in securing correct
list of the mothers of the town, it is
probable that some will be omitted in
the special announcement.

terest of the school children it is ear
nestly requested that ever mother will
make special effort to be present.
The following questions will be dis
cussed: u-Cigarette Smoking. o.
Home Study. (3)-Regularity and
Punctuality. a. Physical care of the

A Diphtlieria Cure.

The Scientific American gives this
receipt as one which the world ought
to know. At the first indication of
diphtheria in the throat of child, make
the room close, and then take cup
and pour into it quantity of tar and
turpentine, equal parts. Hold the cup
over the fire so as to FIJI the room with
fumes. The patient on inhaling the
fumes will cough mp and spit out all
membraneous matter, and the diphthe-
ria will pass out. The fumes of tar and
turpentine loosen the throat and afford
relief that has baffled the skill of ply
sicians.

BOYS USE A GUN.
Almost a Fatal Accident in Rich
Valley.

Last evening DR.. r. p. Heilman was
hastily summoned to the residence of
John Adams, who resides in Rich Val
ley on account of the accidental shoot
ing of Mrs. Delbert Adams. Mrs.
Adams and her father, John Adams.
were sitting in downstairs room ex-
amining map when theloud explosion
OF gun echoed through the house.
Up stairs were two boys, about four
teen years of age-Mrs. Adams son
and sisters child-who got hold of a
rife and while fooling with the gun
exploded it. The bullet crashed
through the floor and struck Mrs. Ad-
ans, passing through her left breast,
taking downward course and passed
out below her left hip, injecting Sc
rious and dangerous wound. At this
writing DR.. Heilman believes that the
lady will recover from the injuries.
This is another warning to persons
who allow loaded fire arms in their
houses where children have access to
them.
