lished in 1888, and commenced pay
ing dividends in 1889, and has paid
semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent
ever since, beside accumulating a
surplus and net profit account OF
$50, 900. This successful and profita'

what the Grange Stand. For.

The granr is the strongest and most
enduring farmers society in this coun-
try, if not in the world. Other farm
organizations have sprung up and -four
isled for a time. only to wither or die.
After a hard struggle and slow early
growth the grange lives, p, werful
vet conservative element in American
farm life. We may safely say that NO
other organization so fairly represents
the American farm freeholder. An
honest expression Of grange opinion
may be accepted as fair statement OF
the views held by the better class OF
farmers who own their farms and live
on them. If there is any organization
better qualified to give voice to the
views of this class. we do not know
what it is.-Rural New Yorker.

The Artist of the Post Office Club
has put forth masterpiece in the
Cartoon line-in fact four of them.
They are called "The building of the
new school house," 'The Toboggan
Slide," s!The Bucks Woods Ex-
press" and Demanding Better Fa-
cilities." There is also little side
brush of the razor Monsieur Bogart
used on the Post Office Club, show
ing the effect of "cheek" on first
class razor. The artist has drawn
the faces so perfectly that you will
have no difficulty in identifying
them, and he may get tangled in the
libel law. Mr.. Artist has consented
to allow Bogart to exhibit them at
his parlors for few days, in part
payment for work done on the ar
lists head and face the other night
when the Club adjourned so precipi-
lately.
Everyone is hoping that we are to
have good season; hoping that the
League orders will be carried out;
hoping that we will soon be able to
send out morning mail, and hoping
that the transportation people will
get awake to the fact that Eagles
Mere is awake lfor the whole sum-
mer season. Hope is, of course, all
right, but unless it is mixed with an
equal amount of Hustle it accom-
plishes little. The Post Club Office
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved, That if General Manag-
er Townsend will give us passes that
/, we, us or ourselves and wives be
appointed as committee to go down,
up, IN, out, over or around the line
and see if we cannot locate, or near
ly or seemingly locate the chap or
chaps who are yet dreaming that
Eagles Mere is not awake and ready
for business. Four members got u
hope and hustle on and started on
foot, last Saturday for Hughesville
to interview the General Manager
as to the passes. There'll be some
thin doin' pretty soon.
The Fire Company had another
drill last Wednesday and made a
mother good showing. In less than
three minutes they had fine stream
going over the Lakeside Hotel. On.

this occasion. The Importance OF
these drills cannot be overestimated
and should be frequently practiced
so that when real call is made the
company will be so familiar with
its duties, that the excitement al
ways connected with a fire will not
interfere with each man doing the
particular thing he has learned tt
do at each drill and so avoid cOnfu'
sion.

ANOTHER SERIOUS WRECK
Two Trains of Pennsylvania Road
Collide and Three Men Are Killed.

Ada, O., January S.-Three men dead
and fourteen or more other persons in
Jured, one fatally, is the result of d
collision between two trains on the
pennsylvania system on the main
street of this city at 5 o'clock this af-
ternoon
The accident was one of the worst
that ever occurred on this division of
the Pennsylvania system and was
highly sensational in all it's details, oc-
curing as i did on the main street of
the town at a time when the thor
oughfare was crowded with people.
Train No. 80. west bound for Fort
wayne had started out of the station,
but at the Main street crossing was
compelled to stop on account Of some
accident to the airbrakes. A fagman
was sent back to notify No. 10, a
freight train going in the same direc-
ton, which was several minutes late.
owing to the snow storm, the engineer
OF NO. 10 was unable to see the signal
in lime to slacken his speed. His en-
CINE crashed into the rear of No. 80.
No. 80 consisted of two coaches, the
rear one being u combination baggage
and passenger car and with another
passenger car in front Both were tele-
scoped and scarcely a passenger es-
capped injury of some sort. The en-
gineer and firemen of No. 10 were also
slightly hurt, but not enough to pre-
vent them from rendering Immediate
assistance to those who were in great
er distress.
