AS long as Senetor Quay lived he was
powerful enough to prevent the sale of
liquor in the city of Beaver, his home.
Daniel Agnew, once Chief Justice of
Pennsylvania, was chiefly instrumental
in having the place made "dry town."
and before his death he made the Senator
promise to keep out saloons. Mr.. Quay
liked good liquor, but he Kept his word.
Now that he is dead those that are tired
of drug store whiskey will make an effort
to have the local option law repealed.
1t is expected that fully $4,000 people

"A sad drowning accident occurred
Sunday last, in the Clarion river, the vie
tim being Miss Abbie Page, one of Clar
ions brightest young ladies. A party of
four two young men and two girls
were boat riding, and in passing over a
rifle, where the current was rapid, the
boat capsized, throwing all into the
stream. The others were atle to get out.
and they endeavored to escue their COM
panion, but she was carried into deep
water and sank. The body was rescued
in less than ten minutes, yet life was ex-
tinct, more than two hours being con-
sumed in a vain endeayor to resuscitate
her. The young lady was daughter Of
b. f, Page, was aged about Is years, and
had just graduated from the high school
in that town. The sad affair has cast
gloom over the entire community.
Mrs. Minnie, wife of Henry Youngk,
died at the family homestead in Green
township, Friday June 24th, 1904, after a
short illness of peritontis, following
puerperai fever. Deceased was aged 26
years and months, and was the daugh-
ter of the late VIM. and Mary Ikenburg
of German Hill. September II, 1904,
she was united in marriage with Henry
Youngk, who, with her mother,
five sifters and four brothers, sur
wives her. The funeral was held on Sun
day last. services being conducted by
Rev. A. II. NJ. Zahnizer at the Zuendel
church, German Hill, in the cemetery of
which the remains were laid to rest Mrs
Youngk was an exemplary Christian
woman, greatly esteemed by all who
knew her, and to the bereaved husband
and friends the sympathy of the commu-
nifty goes out in sincere sorrow.
AT the close of the morning services
at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath,
Rev. X. w. Illiugworth asked for leave
of absence until the next meeting of the
Presbytery, when he will present his res
ignation as pastor of the Tionesta church.
The congregation granted the request,
and in the evening Rev. Illingworth de-
livered his last sermon here prior to his
departure, which will be to-day. This
leaves the church again without a pastor,
which is generally regretted by the con-
gregation, who had come to look upon
their minister as one of the ablest in the
Presbytery. We believe it is Rev. Hing
worth's present intention TO take a six
months course OF study at the University
in Edinburgh, Scotland, and he will de-
mart for there some time in October next.
