A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.
There was quite little excitement
In the vicinity Of the paper mill, Sat-
urday morning, when Jackson, the
five-year-Old son of Robert Orr, fell in
to the mill pond. The boy had been
playing with another child, throwing
stones into the pond, when he slipped
on the thin ice near the edge and fell
in. The alarm was sent to the mill,
and the boys father (Mr Orr is book
keeper at the milD, and Frank P.
Stowe responded. When they reached
there the boy was under the ice and
unconscious. Mr.. Stowe went in and
brought him out, and with Mr. Orr's
help rolled him on a barrel until he
began to revive, then took him home,
where he was undressed and put into
warm blankets, and was soon asleep.
Had the boy been in the water three
minutes longer 1t would hardly have
been possible to resuscitate him. 1t
was truly a very narrow and fortunate
escape.

Sympathetic Women and Murderers.

criminals the practise might cease, To
the advancement OF society. Gov. Stone,
for instance, says the woman who ap-
preached him in the interest OF the
Biddle brothers was a ''woman of re-
spectability" who got interested in their
supposedly sad case. As matter OF
fact, there was nothing sad about the
case at all. The .murderers were cold
blooded criminals with peculiarly evil
record. So long as the appeals Of those
morbidly inclined are given considera-
tion by jailer or Governor so long will
the practise keep up, but II the 're-
spectacle women" knew that publicity
was part Of the procedure when they
interfered in the cases of notorious
criminals they would soon find better
outlet for their sympathies. In the
Biddle case publicity would have been

Father Weinker.

Perhaps the most industrious and en-
ergetic man in this community is the
Rev. Father G. Weinker, pastor of the
Clayville Catholic church. He never
wastes minute Of time, and is always
genial and good natured. Even while
travelling, he is studying, and has gain
ed much of his extensive knowledge Of
languages that way. His congregation
comprises men OF half dozen or more
different nationalities and he can con-
verse with any Of them in their own
tongue. He is always on the go, and he
never goes slow. Men of all religious
denominations admire the sunny tenn
per- the indomitable energy and up
right life Of Father Weinker. The
same intellectual force and devoted
zeal that he has given to the church,
had it been directed to the accumula-
tion OF wealth, would have made him a
millionaire, or rendered him famous In
any other profession he might have
chosen to adopt.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

The Auditors Report Shows a Judicious
Administration of Public Business.
The county auditors completed their
audit of the accounts of the county ofii-
cials for the year 1901 Jan. 2Sth. This
report will show that the business oil
the county during the past year was
conducted on wise and judicious basis,
and that the financial affairs of the
county are in very gratifying condi-
tion. The bonded Indebtedness of the
county was reduced $4,000, and there
remains in the hands of the County
Treasurer over s2l 900 for county pur-
poses and $1,000 for poor purposes.
In 1893 the tax levy for county pur-
poses was At mills and bond tax of 1t
mills; In 1899, At for county and 1t bond,
and in 1900, "A, for county and 1t bond.
This levy was made on total valuation
In the county of over $4,000, 600. For
the years 1901, 1902 and 1903 the total
valuation Of taxable properties in the
county is little over $12,000,000, and
for the year 1901 the tax levy for county
purposes was mills; bond, mill; poor,
mills, and for this year the levy has
been fixed at mills for county purposes
l mill bond and l J mills poor, making a
total assessment of 81 mills, or II mills
less than for the year 1901. This is a
most gratifying exhibit for the tax-pay-
ers OF the county, coming as 1t does so
soon after the extra burden on the
county treasury occasioned by the build
ing OF the county home, and it is alike
gratifying to the board of County Com
missioners who labored so faithfully and
we'll to accomplish this result.
And there is another pleasing feature
In connection with this subject that we
wish to mention. Under the old plan
OF taking care OF the poor 1t cost the
taxpayers OF the county on an average
over $500 a year, while the cost OF
maintaining the poor in the county
home last year was less than half of
that amount. The beneficiaries, too,
were so much better taken care of than
under the old plan of every borough and
township letting out the keeping OF its
INDECENT poor to the lowest bidder.
The present board of County Com
missioners, W. G. Murray, Newton
Webster and AL. Hawk, had extraordi.
nary responsibilities resting upon them,
and it is pleasure for the Republican
to make mention of the success that
comes out of their faithful and efficient
administration OF that ofiice.-Brook,

on the 10Th of Dec, 1901. 1t came as II

welcome on that account. One of the
brothers on that date called all the silk
weavers together and made them a
brief address in substance as follows:
We have decided to increase the
wages OF every weaver, and from now
on the scale will be Is per cent high
err than heretofore, we do this because
the business warrants 1t,
The silk trade is better now in all its
branches than it has been in long
time and the outlook is also very bright.
We feel that our employees should
share in the prosperity.
To say that the weavers were pleased
over this frank recognition OF their
right to share in the better condition
is putting it mildly.
They unanimously voted the Messrs.
Murphy the very best employers "that
was," and will serve them all the more
faithfully in the future; other employ
ers also have given notice of an increase,

Brockwayville has been visited by
travelling agents and the Record has
entered vigorous protest against
giving them patronage. We believe
the Record is right. Every bit of busi-
ness transacted in community should
work toward its betterment. The man
who benefits town is the one who con-
tributes his share towards its business.
A grocery man has no right to expect
the patronage of the dry goods merchant
whose business he hurts by buying fro n
out-of-tOwn firms. The business life OF
town is web OF interdependencie
and the man who would take share OF
business without contributing his own
share to the support of others is para
site. Travelling agents are business
parasites when they invade the legiti-
mate field Of business OF the home mer-
chants. They rarely offer lower prices,
even II that could be used as an argu-
ment for patronizing them, and leave
the town poorer to the extent of the
business they have done in 1t. In the
business life there is giving that
makes a man rich and a withholding
that makes a man poor Remember
this when you come to do business with
your home dealer. II for no better
reason than the selfish one that it will
help your own business, patronize your
home merchants.-Clarion Republican.
