road will be built to
this place. The completion Of the
road was before apparently as in.

calamity would seem to render it
still more uncertain. Every one
will sympathize with the company
IN a misfortune which entails loss
of many thousand dollars and will
exceedingly regret that so serious an
impediment now exists to the com

road. So long as the bridge remain

seemed the most difficult to forge, it

sometime be built. Now with this

It was incoInprehensible why men
would build a costly structure and

way from here to Matamoras, and
then allow the whole capital tc

of only a trihe more, comparatively
would have made their investment a

but that a road economically built
from Port Jervis here would pay a

Preparations are being made that
indicate extensive improvements to
town property this spring The
paint dealers and the painters are
looking forward TO a busy season.
A prominent paint dealer, who
carries the products of one Of the
largest paint aud varnish manufac-
turers Of the country. stated yester-
day that never before had he had so
many inquiries regarding paint at
this time Of the year, nor had he
ever known SO many property
owners to be contemplating paint
ing He was confident that the
coming season would be big one
and he had putin an especially large
stock to take care Of his trade.
Other dealers and painters in
town have had practically the same
experience.
Itis notable that both paint dealers
and painters strongly advocate the
Importance Of property owners
figuring on their painting early.
before the regular painting season
opens. The reasons put forth are
sound
Early preparation, the deciding
on the kind Of paints, the colors to
beused, engaging practical painter,
insures getting the work done on
time, and having the benefit of the
improved appearance of your house
from the beginning OF the season.
The combinations of colors used
on a house are of considerable
moment and should not be decided
upon hurriedly. A single trimming
not in harmony win often make a
house an aggravation. Several
paint manufacturers, appreciatiDg
the value of this feature, have an
organized department. of artists and
architects whose sole duty is to
specify good color combinations.
Local dealers report that it is a
common practice now for paint
buyers to give them a photo or
drawing of their houses to submit to
paint makers for color specifications.
Another point in connection with
selecting colors is that an early
decision will enable the dealer to
order any special colors he may NOT
regularly carry in stock.
There is economy, toe, in engag.
ing a painter before the season rush
is on. When the season is in full
swing and the painter has many
jobs ahead, it is often a matter oi
speculation when your work can bs
taken care of. Painting should be
done early in the spring, as soon al
the moisture Is out of the lumber
and the weather settled. The care

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Eckert Lose Their
Babe.

The saddest chapter of the gun
was enacted in Charter Oak about
8 o'clock this morning when Eddie
Eckert, boy of 10 years, accidently
shot and killed his five weeks old
nephew and instantly snuffed out
the little life.
A few days ago Fred Eckert
bought % calibre rifle for the dou-
BILE purpose of shooting rats and of
defending himself against providers
whom he heard around his house at
night. This morning his younger
brother Eddie in drawing the gun
from its place to look at it, accident
ly discharged it. The babe Law in
it's cab close by and the ball from
the gun entered it's cheek and pass
ed through it's head, emerging from
the skull near the top. The tele-
phone summoned DIR. McWilliams
there at once but the little breath
had ceased.
Ever since the little one came to
her about five weeks ago, Mrs. Eek
ert has been borne down by a pre-
sentiment that something was to
happen her babe that would take it
from her, so she has always guard
ed it with special care and solici-
tude. This little boy was the
only child, Mr.. and Mrs. Eckert
having only been married about a
year. Not only was the child the
idol of the household but the pet OF
the neighborhood.
| The funeral will be from the
Methodist church tomorrow at 1000
o'clock.
Eddie has spent the day wander.
ing aimlessly about the place, at
times showing marked symptoms
of the shock having unbalanced his
mind.-Charter Oak Times.
Mrs. Eckert was formerly Miss
Phoebe Wilson, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. r. Wilson of east
/ Greeley. Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson ac-
companied by Mrs. VIM. e. Trent
of Nelson were summoned there at
once by telephone.

We believe that the proposed
changes by the Rock Island on our
branch will not be satisfactory to
the town and patrons at large. 1t
is impossible to get the three train
day service, the present time is
the best possible for Extra. At
present if one has business at the
county seat they can go up in the
morning and hack at noon, where
as if the proposed change takes
place they will have to stay all day
As it is now if we want to go to Des
Moines we get our dinner, know
just when to be at the depot and
can easily catch the east train in
Atlantic, without waiting several
hours in strange place. It will be
equally as poor service from Audi.
bon. The present time table is all
right if the crew ia given support
in way freight that holds them. The
change of time, for leaving at $50
will be detriment to all who wish
to go east. We earnestly hope the
officials will reconsider and. leave
the time as it is.
