til Rogers passed away last Sab
bath morning very suddenly. In some
respects he was not as we'll and it was
thought his strength was failing, but
there were no marked symptoms that he
was so near death. He took his food as
usual. and about 10 asked for bite OF
something. He ate but q mite and
drank few swallows of tea. His wife
laid down very near to him to hear
every strange sound in his breathing, as
she had all winter. She was up with
him at half-past u and again between
. and 3, and thought of nothing unusual
in his appearance. After arranging him
all right she lay down again and drop
ped asleep. Some sound awakened her.
He had fallen over on his face at the foot
of his bed. She raised his head and kept
calling to him, and rubbing around his
heart found he was warm. She kept
working to revive him, but at last found
all efforts Of no avail and called the
neighbors. The doctor was called at
once, but found there was no life left.
He informed Mrs. Rogers that had she
been by his side she could have done
nothing, and said he died at the time he
started up and fell over. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. L. D..
Tibbetts, and by the grange. The re-
mains were taken to North Auburn GEM
etery for interment. His wife and one
sister still remain.
Rev. L. d. Tibbetts' wife has been
very sick, but has been rather more COM
fort q hle for few days
A. II. Eastman, wife and six children
are sick with the grippe, and A. P.
Brown and Algernon Staples. Three

The sick are in nearly every family.

kEZAR FALLS.

Our village was again visited about 3
o'clock Tuesday morning by fire, this
time taking the X. of P. building. The
first floor where the fire originated was
grocery store and fish market owned
and run by b. F. Ridlon, who was doing
good business. The next two stories
were owned by the X. of P. order, the
third floor of which being the lodge
room and where the furnishings of their
own order, the l. o. Q. F., ,and Sister
hood were kept. But little was saved on
these two floors. IL is thought the fire
must have caught in the back room of
the store in spit box in which stubs of
matches and cigars were thrown by men
who were in there smoking. Nearly al
his goods we're saved. He was insured
on store $500, goods $500, and the X. of
P. $500 on their part of the building.
There were number of thousand cans
of apples stored in the cellar by the APP
pie packing company, all of which were
burned. The building was an ornament
to our village and we hope it may be re-
built in the near future.
