Garbage Furnace Needed.

One of the things that Reynoldsville
is very much in need OF is a garbage
furnace, and especially at this time Of
year. The town has u dumping ground
but that should be abandoned and a
garbage furnace erected at once. We
believe 1t would be the business of the
Board OF Health TO look after this matter.
II some responsible man was given the
exclusive privilege OF collecting garbage,
he could build a furnace, buy cans and
make money at It by charging each
person small amount for hauling the
garbage away. This exclusive privilege
can only be given by town council. There
is complaint now about the present dump
ing ground, and there is possibility
that the place may have to be aban-
doned. Why not take some action at
next meeting of town council to get a
garbage collector and furnace? This Is
what the town should have, and we
believe " the Board OF Health and
council will give the matter considera-
tion we will get one.
Section of ordinance No. 20, 'For the
Better Preservation of the Public
Health" reads as follows: mo house
refuse, oiIal, garbage, dead animals. de-
caying vegetable matter or organic
waste substance OF any kind shall be
thrown on any street. road, ditch, gutter
or public place within the limits of this
borough, and no putrid or decaying
animal Or vegetable matter shall be
kept in any house, cellar or adjoining
outbuilding or grounds for more than
twenty four hours"
A garbage collector and furnace would
enable the people to obey this ordinance.

MET A TERRIBLE DEATH.
Lew Heidrick Instantly Killed by Acct
dental Discharge OF Gun.

The people OF Brookville we're thor
oughly shocked Saturday afternoon
when the news spread through town
that Levi Heidrick, prominent citi-
zen OF the county seat, had met ter
rible death at his home by the accident
al discharge of shot gun. Mr.. Held
rick and II. NJ. Matson we're TO leave on
the 200 p. m. train Saturday for West
boro, Wis, where they have large in
terests In timber. Mr.. and Mrs. Mat
son had taken dinner with Mr.. and
Mrs Heidrick and the ladies we're to
accompany their husbands as far as
Pittsburg, Mr.. Heidrick went up stairs
after dinner TO get suit Of clothes that
he had decided to take along with him.
There was shot gun standing behind
a trunk, in front of the door of the
clothes press that Mr.. Heidrick went
to get his suit out of, and the supposi-
ton is that he took hold OF the gun and
in lifting IL over the trunk the gun was
| discharged, the contents OF gun en-
tering Mr.. Heidrick's abdomen, killing
him instantly. When Mr.. Matson and
the other inmates of the house heard
the explosion they ran up stairs, but
the death angel was there before them.
Mr.. Heidrick was about SO years old.
He was in the mercantile business at
Dubois for time and afterwards en-
tered into the lumber business. He
moved to Brookville eight or nine years
| ago, having large lumber interests at
that place. Some three years ago Mr..
Heidrick disposed of his lumber inter-
ests at Brookville and then organized,
and was a heavy stakeholder, in the
company that built the large wooden
mills at Brookvile. Funeral services
were held at his late residence in
Brookville Monday evening.
DIR. James Conway, pastor of Brook
vile Presbyterian church, and Rev. j.
Vernon Bell, pastor of Dubois Presby-
terian church, conducted the funeral
services. The attendance was very
large. The floral tribute was the lar
gest and finest seen in Brookville for
years.

ander, DR.. Harry B. King, Alex. Ris-

picturesquesness of the grove was
sketched by many of the artists. The
old mill and mill dam hardly would also
likely be an inspiration to some genius
in the party. All the picnicers were
not artists by long shot. Some OF the
party could not draw a picture on pa
per to save their lives, but they can
draw on their imagination. The pic
mic was success in every particular.
