Fatal Accident.

On Monday, Dec. 30th, 1901, Mr..
Chas. w. Williams and family, who
reside on Mason Hill, several miles
from Driftwood, were Mortified when
Mr.. John M. English, the rural free
mail carrier, came along, about one
o'clock, and handed Mr.. Williams a
telegram informing him that his son
Harry j. Williams, aged % years, IL
months and fifteen days, had been
fatally injured while visiting his uncle
at Forksville, Sullivan county, Pa.
Mr.. Williams, having but little time
to make it, hurried to Sterling Run
and caught the afternoon train east,
arriving at Forksville on Tuesday,
several hours after his sons death.
The young man had been assisting
his uncle, who was drawing a large
load of hay, when the accident occur
red that caused his death. During the
recent freshets in that section of the
country the roads had become almost
impossible, which caused the sleds up
on which he was drawing the hay,
to upset the load down a steep embank-
ment, about thirty feet. The un-
conscious young man, the only one
injured, was taken to a hotel and DR..
Woodhead and several other physi-
clans called. His injuries were found
to be very serious, his skull being
fractured. He fingered in this condi-
tion until Tuesday, when death ended
bis suffering. Deceased never regain
ed conscience from the time of the ac-
cident.
His remains were brought to the
home of his parents on Thursday last
and the funeral took place on Friday
ut one o'clock at Mason Hill school
house, amid the scenes of his boyhood
days, surrounded by large circle of
grief stricken relatives and friends.
| Rev. Samuel Ebersole, an intimate
friend of the family, offfciated at the
funeral and spoke words Of wisdom
and consolation to the grief stricken
family. The shock to the family is a
severe one and their friends deeply
! sympathize with them.

Opposed to Public irrigation.

Representative Sibley does not agree
with President Roosevelt, who favors
the scheme to use public money to irri-
gate the desert lands Of the west. He is
actively opposing proposed bill which
will appropriate several millions ofpub-
lie money, and the only people benefit
ted will be the owners of these lands,
who purchased them cheaply, and if
they are irrigated by the government,
will sell them for several hundred dol
lars an acre.
Mr.. Sibley's opposition to the scheme
is based on his desire to protect the
farmers of the other sections For years
they have battled with adversely, but
during the last five years they have
commenced to realize what it is to live.
Good prices have been received for
their crops, mortgages have been lifted
and the families of the farmers have
been able to enjoy life little. But to
irrigate the arid lands of the west
means to again bring the farmers into
competition and to return them almost
to the position they were in prior to
the advent of the present period OF
prosperity Mr.. Sibley claims that
there are enough farms under cultiva-
tion now to supply the needs of this
country and furnish q surplus for Eu
rope. Therefore, he belivees in pro
tecting the farmers for awhile.

The ThespianS.

The young men who come here on
the Thespian trip should be encouraged
in their work as they really present a
novel entertainment. The pictures as
displayed in the store windows show
the young men made up in elegant
costumes and the "Ladies" are simply
stunning. Any one who enjoys college
songs as sung by college students also
will enjoy a treat as the quartet comes
to us highly recommended. Concerning
the play the "Critic" has the following
to say: "Of all the pretty plays that
have been seen at the Madison Square
Theater this winter "a Russian Honey
moon' is the prettieat" a souvenir
program will be given to each person
attending the performance. From the
list of patronesses rs published in this
paper it is evident that "State' has
many warm and influential friends in
this place, This viii probably be the
social theatrical event of the season.
On Saturday Feb. Sth, at this place.
