Sad tiding came over the wires

Sad tiding came over the wires
last Friday announcing the death
of young Emile Laplene, at Johns
town, Pa, who met tragic death
in that city last Thursday evening.
Nothing in the message indicated
the manner Of his death, which we
presume will be impaired to the
family at later date. Mr.. La
plene was the only son of the late
Bernard Laplene aged 2lyears. His
funeral will take place from the
Catholic church on Tuesday next,
August Goth, at 10 O'Clock a, m
We continue to receive specl-
mems of sugar cane and from pres
emf appearances the cane crop Is
about up to the average Tor the
season Our last cane is from
Paul Segura's crop of forty acres.
The cane has over four feet of red
Joints of large size and diameter,
and if the crop from which 1t was
taken is like its representative,
Paul has a good thing this fall,
even if prices should be low
Last Sunday evening our citl-
zens were again RECALLED by the
splendid program of the Pelican
State Band at their pavilion at
Weeks Grove, where hundreds
were assembled to listen to the
flood of melody. The arrange
ments were all made with reference
to the convenience and enjoyment
of the hearers. Policemen kept the
streets open so no jarrlng should
occur among the many drivers OF
vehicles and also in preserving the
best of order. These concerts are
now an institution of the town and
thoroughly enjoyed by all old and
young.
We are Informed that disease
among cattle is prevailing on the
place of an old darkey by name OF
Vincent, living several miles from
town. he losing several head in the
past few days. Health officer
Emmer is making thorough ex-
animation of his stock to ascer-
tain whether or not the disease is
charbon.
"A match game of ball will take
place at the New Park on Sunday,

thusiasm is being manifested by
the lovers of the sport, as this pro-
misses to be close contest.

From. Hot to Cold.

Dysentery is prevalent everywhere in
summer and lie due to miasmatic poisons,
and begins abruptly with inflammation of
the mucous lining Of the large bowel. In
America the disease is common, but prop
erly treated does not result as seriously as
in the tropics. Perry Davis Painkiller is
the best known remedy and the most Ell
cacious ia the treatment OF dysentery.

can do is to try and send you some
better wurst from to-days lot, but, as
have said, that was the best wurst
we have at present. l am sure, how
ever. that the wurst we are now max
Ing will not be any worse than this,
and it ought to be better. l assure
you that as soon as get the wurst
you shall have the best of it. We
never gave any one the worst OF it
SO long as we have been in the wurst
business. and you may be sure that
when we give you your wurst it will
be the best, for our worst wurst is
better wurst than the best wurst of

But the lady, whose eyes had taken
Oh a stare of glassiness, was seen to
thow up her hands and flee from the

was yet to come.

Mr.. George Oldfield, noted Fen

born before the railway era, and still
scorns the use of trains, says the Lon
don Daily News. He walked this
week for the sixty-first time to Pc
tersborough autumn fair, distance
there and back of fourteen miles. For
the last fortyeight years he has
walked to the fair in the same pair
OF boots. for which he has refused a
handsome sum from London shopkeep-
ers since his>record was published in
the press last year. He is most anx-
ious to complete his fifty years walk
in them, but it is doubtful if they will
stand another two journeys. They
were recently sent for repair, but the
bootmalser could do nothing with
them. as the leather was too old to
hold the stitches. The old man has
now walked nearly 700 miles in them
