on Friday.
Miss Reid, of Drayton, is teaching our
district school during this term.
On Sunday about 6 o'clock p. nj. a
cyclone from the southwest passed a
short distance west of us. In its career
it destroyed the residence Of Widow
Gilbert Olson. The building was torn
from its foundation and turned a com.
plete somersault. Within the house at
the time were five children. ranging from
five to eighteen years of age, but strange
to say, none were hurt. Mrs. Olson was
not at home at the time, but the neigh
bors were quickly on the spot, and the
young folks were taken to the house OF
Mr.. Robbins and cared for. AS one or
two of the children seemed in kind OF
stupr, DR.. Shaw was sent for but found
nothing serious the matter The house
and furniture are wrecked
The sad intelligence reached us on
Thursday that w. A. FULLY had died at
noon OF that day. AS his own home farm
was not in workable condition, Mr.
Tully rented farm at toilette and moved
thither some time ago and it was while
cleaning out an old we'll there that he
met his death by gas poisoning. De-
ceased had only raised few pailfuls Of
refuse, when he was seen to droop his
head and lean to side. w. Bridges,
who was at the top of the well called to
him, but getting no reply raised the
alarm for help. The body was speedily
raised and DR.. Shaw, of Bowesmont sent
for. In the meantime ev ry means was
used that could be thought OF, but all OF
no avail. The deadly foul air had done
its fatal work in an instant. Interment
took place in the family lot in Drayton
cemetery on Friday.
William Albert Tully, who was born
in Ontario, Canada, came to this country
about twenty years ago. He was one of
the first threshing machine operators in
this vicinity, and continued in the bust
ness and nat Of extensive farming up to
the time of his death.
Left behind to mourn their great loss
are widow and four children, two 81
whom are grown up.
Mrs. Tully, who is almost entirely
Frustrated, has the most sincere Sym
pathy Of her many friends and old neigh
bors here.

Annual Entertainment at the German
Orphan Asylum

Over 500 people gathered al the German
Orphan Asylum on Good Hope road, Ana
costa, yesterday afternoon and evening to
participate in the annual Labor day enter
tainment provided by the Ladies Aid So
ciety of the institution. 1t was a day CT
rare enjoyment for the children of the asy-
lum, who in addition to being visited by
their friends, spent most of the time In out
door games on the slopes adjacent to the
buildings, afterward partaking of gener-
Gus repast, which was served in one Of the
long corridors of the main building. Prizes
of cups, saucers, plates and pitchers were
awarded to the juvenile contenders who
proved victors, and in the possession of
which much pride was taken by the little
ones.
Rev. Paul Menzel, pastor of Concordia
Lutheran Church of this city, was in
charge of this feature of the days program,
assisted by Superintendent Jacob Gersten-
berg. The children sang under the direc-
ton of Prof Emil Mori of the city. Many
persons prominent in German circles We're
in attendance and took the opportunity of
inspecting the asylum. American fags
hung from the buildings and served as dec
orations for the grounds. An orchestra,
stationed in one of the halls. rendered a
musical program, and in the course Of the
