FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Mrs. Susan Unger, OF this Place, Retires as Us.
ually, and Found Next Morning Corpse.


The gayety of the holiday sea-
son was somewhat checked last
Saturday morning, when 1t was
rumored on the street that Mrs.
Susan Unger, one of our aged and
most highly respected residents
had been found dead in her bed
that morning.
Mrs. Unger was the widow of
Samuel Unger, who died about
fourteen years ago, and since that
time had lived in her home on East
Water street. During the past
two years, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Gress, the latter beng a daugh-
ter of j. Milton Unger and a niece
of the deceased, have lived IN the
house with Mrs. Unger.
Last Friday evening, some of
the neighbors spent the evening
at Mrs. Unger's home, and she
seemed well and cheerful, with
the exception OF having a cold,
which is so common now as not to
excite alarm ordinarily.
Next morning, Mrs. Gress
arose and went about her morn
ing work as usually, and when
she called her auntle to get ready
for breakfast, there was no re-
sponse. She called again, and
then went to her aunt's bedroom,
and was greatly shocked to find
her lying In bed as naturally and
peacefully as though enjoying a
refreshing nap-but cold IN death
which was probably the result of
heart failure.
Mrs. Unger was aged "A years
and 13 days, had been a consistent
member Of the Lutheran church
since her girlhood, and was great
ly esteemed by her friends and
neighbors. Funeral services were
conducted on Monday afternoon
by her pastor, Rev. A. G. Wolf,
and by the ladies of the Relief
Corps, of which she was a faith
ful mem Der, and her body was
laid to rest beside that of her
husband in the Lutheran grave.

TALE OF THE CAPTURED MAIDEN.
Kidnapped and Taken to Place Where

Bound and gagged, the maiden
was thrust into gunny sack and
unable to move or scream, felt
herself carried up fight of
stairs from the dungeon, and then
was put into buggy, and then
driven down the street at rapid
rate. Intellectually she strug-
gled to release herself from the
gag. Alas she was bound too
securely.
Finally the conveyance stopped.
She was again carried INTO a
building and fainting, gasping
for breath. the sack was taken
from her head. The william took
the gag from her mouth, his eyes
cleaning like Goals of fire through
his black mask, released her and
hlssed through his tightly cleuch-
ed teeth, "There, my pretty bird,

like, no human ears will ever
reach you. You are IN my pow

test at Bedford County Institute.

DR.. Pattengill, an ex.State Su-
perlntendent of Michigan, prac
tical educator, was one of the IN
structors at the Bedford county
Teachers Institute last week.
In one of his talks he express
ed the regret that spelling did not
receive the attention in the public
schools of to-day that it's import
ance demands, and to enforce his
position, pronounced a list of
twenty words. Only twelve teach
ers of the 335 present, handed in
papers, showing the entire twen-
ty words spelled correctly.
Being deslrious of following
the test still farther he invited
the twelve successful teachers to
an adjacent class room, and when
they were thus alone, he pro-
nounced to them four lists of
twenty words each. When the
smoke of the contest had cleared
away it was found that nineteen
of The twenty had fallen and that
N. E. M. Hoover. of West Dublin,

one who had not missed a word.

Herder was q tyLo by trade, and
for several years lived in Richn.ond
where he operated a linotype ma
chine. He returned home about a
year ago to accept a position with
Mash Bros, as a machine operator,
which position he filled very accep-
tably untif his death.
Herder was a quiet young man of
gentle disposition, true to his friends,
Of whom ne had many, and his
death will be sincerely mourned.
He bore his sufferings with cour-
age and faced death. unflinchingly,
remarking to his father a short time
before his death thath was prepared
to meet his God. This, indeed,
should give comfort and consolation
to the loved ones left behind.
