Sunbury.
TIE talked Of and somewhat
visionary scheme of harnessing the
Susquehanna river at this place to
furnish electric power to the SUR
sounding country is attracting
much attention hereabouts. The
projectors including wealthy cap.
italsts from Wilkes. Barre, this
city, Milton, Shauokin and other
places are confident the enterprise
will be success. The mammoth
power plant to be constructed will
supply light, heat and power, and
it is proposed to furnish these COM
panies: Lycoming Electric Com-
pany, Milton Electric Incandescent
Company, Wiiliamspost Passenger
Railway Company, MontoursvilIc
Railway Company, Sunbury and
Northumberland Electric Light,
Heat aud Power Company, Sha-

Power Company, Shamokin, Edge
wood Park Trolley Company, Lew
isburg and Northumberland Street
Railway pany, Lewisburg
Street Railway Company. The
mechanical plans have been ex-
amined thoroughly by engineers,
who prom Nunce the scheme practical.
The river here is almost a mile
wide, aud IN many places from
fifteen to twenty-five feet deep II
is peculiarly adapted to such al
enterprise.

TWICE IN A YEAR.

Another big sale of mining prop.
erty has been completed this week
by a large advance payment on the
amount of consideration agreed
upon.
The property thus disposed of is
the noted Gussie X. mine and 20.
acre lease, for which J. Allen Hardy
paid $4,000 spot cash a year ago
last month.
Mr.. Hardy, when he made the
purchase last June. predicted that
he would take out the entire amount
of purchase money and working
expenses in less than a year. BE
has more than done this, for the
output of the last IL months has ex.
ceeded $4,000.
The property has now been cold
for $4,000 to John Norton of St.
Louis, acting for an Eastern syndi-
cate. Mr.. Morton few weeks ago
bought the Hudson 40 acres near
Carthage for $4,000 from John Der
mott and the transfer of that prop
erty was recorded this week. Upon
the Gussie X. property sufficient
advance payment has been made to
secure the completion of the con-
tract.
The Gussie X. is located on what
is known az the Chew land, midway
between Prosperity and Duenweg,
and was the pioneer mine on a lot
of new ground that has been opened
up during the past two years, and
lie proving wonderfully rich.
There is not the slightest reason
to doubt that it will prove to be a
great producer in the hands of it's
new owners when the transfer 10
finally made.-Joplin Globe.

Miss Gala Morrow, the elder
daughter of Mr.. and Mira. J. 81. Nor
row and one of this city's most
handsome and accomplished young
ladies, is very low and the attend.
ing physicians have given up hope
of saving her life.
Sunday afternoon Gala was taken
with severe pains in the stomach
and abdomen and 1t was thought
for come time that she had eaten
something that did not agree with
her and had an attack of indiges-
ton. She is subject occasionally to
what has always been called attacks
of indigestion. Gala seemed some
better Monday and it was not until
Tuesday that DR.. Mount together
with the family began to feel
alarmed when 1t wac found that the
case was a bad attack of appendi-
citis. DR.. Shaw of Walla Walla and
DIR. Van Patten of Dayton were hur-
riedly summoned az was also DIR.
Thos. Smith, of Tacoma, who was
ON his way to the gun shoot at Day.
ton. DIR. Smith is a specialist on
cases of this nature. After consul
tation il was decided that an opera.
ton would have to be made and
that soon.
The operation was performed by
DIR. Smith between 4 and 5 o'clock
Wednesday and the patient rallied
we'll. II was found however that
the appendix had broken and that
several inches of the intestinee
were 90 affected that the affected
mart had to be removed. It 10 the
danger of blood poisoning that is
worrying the physicians now and
it 10 feared that gangrene had al
ready set In before the operation
was made. -
DR.. ]. W. Morrow of Portland, a
brother of ]. 81. Morrow, arrived on
Thursday morning. He thinks
there is a bare chance of life owing
90 the strong vitality of the patient.
Miss Gala Morrow was raised in
this city. She 10 bright and accom-.
piished and teacher in our public
school. Her condition casts
gloom over the city.
A very sad incident 10 the fact
that Plat P. Morrow, the only son,
was married last week in Seattle.
After a trip of a week he arrived
home Wednesday morning with his
bride. Invitations were out to over
600 people for a big reception at the
residence Wednesday evening when
there would be joyous occasion.

The home is beautifully decorated.
Instead of the newly married peo-
pie coming to a house of light,
laughter and song, they found a
house In darkness and the silence

Frustrated.
Later-Just as we were about to
close our forms we learn the heart
rending news that Gala passed
away at 1850 Thursday morning.
Apparently all that the most
skilled physicians could do was
done to save her life but il was of
no avail. The deepest sympathy of
the entire community goes out to
the heart broken family. May God
comfort them in their unusually
sad affection.
