DEATH COMES SUDDENLY
Dreadful Accident OccurS on a
Bridge over Otter Greek,
in Town of Willow
Springs.
TWO PERSONS KILLED
John Dallyn OF Galena and His
Grand. daughter Rhoda
Stone the Victims.

On Thursday afternoon, April >,
Edmund Stone, his daughter Rhoda,
and his father-in-law John Dallyn, of
Galena, started from Mineral Point
on their way to Mr.. Stones home in
in the town of Willow Springs, seven
miles southeast of the city. They
were in light wagon, in which they
had some young apple trees. and a
barrel of salt. EVERYTHING went we'll
with them until they were crossing a
bridge over Otter Creek, within a
short distance of Mr.. Stones house.
While they were on the bridge it col
lapsed, and the horses, the wagon and
its occupants went down with it, q
distance of some eight or nine feet.
Miss Stone fell into the water under
wheel of the wagon, and was crush
ed to death.
MIR. Dallyn received fatal injuries
in the fall, and lived only few mo-
ments after he was taken out of the
water.
Mr.. Stone was not seriously in
jured.
Mrs. Stone was at home at the time
of the going down of the bridge, aud
her husband S cries for help brought
her at once to the sad scene. She
jumped into the water and tried in
vain to rescue her daughter. Soon
afterwards neighbors arrived, and
men and women went quickly to her
assistance, but when the body was
taken out it was lifeess.
An inquest on the bodies was held
the following morning, and verdict
rendered in accordance with the facts
above related.
The funeral of Mr.. Dallyn took
place early on Saturday morning,
with a short service at the home of
his daughter Mrs. James Harris of
this place, Rev. A. d. Macs otiica-
ting. From there the body was taken
to the depot, and thence by train
to Galena, where the burial took
place. Mr.. Daylln was the proprietor
of the Oaklawn stock farm, near Cal
ena. He was a man of sterling char
acter, and his visits here were always
welcomed, not only by members of his
own family, but by others who held
him in high esteem. A son of Mr..
Dallyn, who had been summoned here
by the announcement of the death of
his father, accompanied the remains
from this city to Galena.
The funeral of Miss Stone took
place from the hong Of hsr parents at
half past ten O'Clock on Saturday
morning. A short service was held
at the house. AS she was a member
of the Freshmen class of the High
school, pupils of the school, boys and
girls, acted as pail bearers. The
teachers and pupils met the process
sion at the depot and escorted it to
the p. NJ Church. The services at
the Church we're conducted by Rev.
A. d. Macs, assisted by Revs, John
Hardcastle and Philip Allen. At the
close of the services the body was
taken to Graceland cemetery. Here,
as in the Church, the scene though
sad and impressive was frightened by
sure and certain hope of life be-
yond the tomb This hope was sym
bolized by the schoolmates of the
dead girl marching around the grave
and depositing sprigS of evergreen on
the casket.
Rhoda Stone was about fifteen
years Of age, of gentle nature, and
was beloved by all who knew her.

BUSINESS MEMS RESOLUTION.

At a special meeting of the
Merchants Association, composed
of the merchants and business men
of Sunbury and vicinity, the follow
ing resolution was recently passed :
"ReS0Ired, That the members of
this association shall not at any
time after the passage Of this reso-
luton enter into any scheme of adj
vertising other than legitimate news
paper advertising, ard that no other
scheme, such as programmes, hotel
registers, tickets to festivals, sup
pers, balls, dances, entertainments,
chances in things of value, trading
stamps. prizes, ETC., shall be pat
ronized or used by members of this
association.
This action was taken, no doubt,
because of the constant demands
upon the business men for advertis-
ing in the ways mentioned above.
Of course, there are other ways of
advertising besides the newspapers,
which bring good results, but many
of the schemes are utterly valueless,
and amount simply to cash cor-
tribution from the merchant, for
which he gets no returns whatever.
There are men in this town, and in
every town, who never do any
newspaper advertising, but who are
ready to seize every opportunity to
patronize a stranger who comes
along with some fake scheme.
One of these schemes that we
have in mind is this. A few years
ago two strange young men landed
here in the morning. secured forty
dollars for advertising cards on
blotters about ten by fifteen inches,
to be distributed among the hotels,
got their printing done in the after
noon, and left town in the evening
with thirty two dollars clear profit
in their pockets. They agreed tc
have five hundred blotters printed
but ordered only fifty and these
were all delivered to one hotel. The
landlord threw them under the
counter and they never were seer
again until they went into the waste
basket. The printing was done al
this Office, and we got the story
from the men themselves who were
chuckling over the fine string o
suckers" they had caught. Some
months afterward we saw the blot
tiers taken from under the ccuntel
and the landlord gave us his par
of the story as he threw them away
This is only one of hundreds O
the same kind of schemes that arr
worked on business men. The saf,
way is to deal with men you know
and who are accountable tor wha
they do, and who can't afford t.
fake you.
