TWO CHILDREN cRExArED.
Gasoline stove Explodcs and Barns up
the House and Children Of
Walter Feather.

On Thursday of last week Mr.. Il.
M. Feather, who lives out at Her.
ring, was here in town and received
a dispatch from his son, Walter
Feather, stating that his house had
burned up and the two children in
it. From Cumberland, Md, paper
VIC get the following account of the
sad affair:
The home Of Mr.. w. II. Feather,
at Pinto, this county, was destroyed
and two of his children, James, aged
six, and Floyd, aged FIVE, cremated,
an infant child seriously burned,
while Mrs. Feather barely escaped
with her life, all due 10 the explo-
sion of a gasoline stove.
Wednesday a servant at the
Feathers home started to cook
breakfast on a gasoline stove. Blu,
the blaze was too strong and it was
turned off and the stove allowed to
cool, after which the fire was started
| again, soon after which the explo-
sion occurred.
At this writing the particulars oil
the sad affair are lacking. but it is
understood that the children were in
the kitchen when the explosion oc-
Cured, and were completely COW
cred with the burning oil. Mrs.
Feather, in her cndeavor to save
her little ones, had a narrow es
cape. Mr.. Feather has charge OF
the commissary department of Ben.
nett & Tablet, the contractors or
the b. * 0. Improvements.
A later account from the same
paper gives the following additional
particulars:
The remains of James and Floyc
Feather, the two little boys thai
were burned to death yesterday a,
Pinto, were brought here at noon
and placed in vault in Rose Hill
Cemetery, and will later be taken tc
Albright, w. Va, for final inter.
ment. Funeral services were con
Quoted this morning at Pinto by
Rev. DIR. Gill of this city.
To add to the heart-rending affair
Mrs. Feather states that she could
hear the younger of the two children
calling "Mamma, Mamma" as the
flames enveloped him. The chill
dren were both bright and interest
ing, and their awful fate has broker
their parents hearts.
Mr.. Feather has many friend,
and relatives in this county who
will regret TO hear of his terrible
misfortune. He was born and raisec
near Albrightsville, and "Uncl,
Abe" Feather of that place is hi

CEN. SMITHS ORDER.
~. KoosEvELT's oRpER.


President Roosevelt in his order
dismissing General Jacob Fl. Smith
from the army for wanton cruelty
and recklessness in the Philippines
has this to say:
In the recent campaign order by
General Smith, the shooting of the
native bearers by the orders Of Ma
jor Waller, was an act which sullied
the American name and can be but
partly excused OF Major Walters
mental condition at the time. II is
impossible to tell exactly how much
influence and language like that
used by General Smith may have
had in preparing the minds Of those
under him for the commission of
the deeds which we regret. Loose
and violent talk by an officer OF
high rank IS always likely to excite
to wrongdoing those among his sub
ordinates whose wills are weak or
whose passions are strong.
Since the investigation by the
President himself, and his own re-.
port bears out all the claims made
by the Democrats, it is now in
order for some Of the rabid Repub.
liean papers to take water and
apologize.

OUR MID SUMNER WEATHER
August Will be Hot asd Dry
According 20 Prof Hicks.

The gid and 4th of August are
central days of reactionary storm
disturbances. On and touching
these days the temperature will rise
to climax of warmth, and barome-
trio readings will fall, progressively
from west to east, ending in threaten
ing clouds, with thunder, light rains
and heavy buster in many sections.
On the sth Earth passes between the
the Sun and the great world Jupiter.
near New Moon on the 3rd and the
Moons passage over the celestial
equator on the 9th. These facts
will necessitate excessively warm
weather, and il violent electrical
storms do not result seismic per-
turbations will be most natural. II
is questionable whether normal re-
actions to cooler weather will follow
the storm period, or whether general
and heavy rains will attend these
storms, during much of August.
We believe that very warm weather,
with light precipitation---evcn hurt.
full drouth are in store for most parts
of the country, until The latter part
of the month, especially.
The Vulcan storm period central
on the 9th, covering the 9TH to rzth,
will be marked by changes in the
thermometer and barometer, com
mon to the storm periods, and the
elimination into storm, with more
or less precipitation, may be expect
ed on and touching the 9th, 10th
and nth. This period may be
watched with interest, as it may
indicate one way or another, much
that may be in store for us for weeks
to come. We would like much to
be mistaken, but we fear that, in the
main, warm and dry will prevail.
On the I4th, 18th and 10Th reac :
ton to storm conditions will be
noticeable-the barometer. will fall,
warmth will increase, cloudiness will
ensue, and rains, according to the
abundance or lightness prevailing in
the Mars period, will visit many
parts in transit from west to cast.
Change to cooler should normally
appear with the rising barometer
following these perlurbalions. The
reaciionary storms on and about the
26th to as, at the center of the
