Woman Takes fier Life.

Worry over an impending law suit
drove Mrs Joseph HallIck, we'll
known resident of Trevorton to sui
eide Tuesday. A few weeks ago Mrs.
Hallick became the plaintiff in "A salt
against Contractor Murphy, of Trevor
ton, and since that time she has thought
of nothing else.
The first indication that she had
committed the rash act was when
Sebastian Schacich happened to pass
the home, which is located in the east
ern part OF Trevorton, glanced in and
saw the woman suspended by the neck
from rope which was secured to
nails driven in the door jam between
the basement kitchen and cellar. She
had not even thought to close the door
leading To the street.
Schacich cut the body down and at
once raised an alarm. Several hurried
to DR. Lark office but when he arriv
ed he found her past human help.
The method of self destruction used
hv the woman must have been calmly
and deliberately planned. She drove
, five lO-penny nails into the door jam
and then securely tying a clothes line
to the nails stepped up on a low chair,
tving the other end of the rope around
her neck Then she kicked the chair
from under her. Death was due to
strangulatiOn.
The body was still warm when dis
covered by Schaciah so that she could
not have been hanging more than tif-
teen minutes.
The unfortunate woman was 33 years
of age and is survived by husband
and four children.

A Record Breaker.

Yesterday, considering the time of
year, seemed to be record breaker for
heat and general discomfort. Every
one was heard to register some sort of
protest The employees Of the mills
and foundries had an especially hard
time of it. Mercury nearly reached
the 80 mark during the afternoon and
low temperature continued during the
night. Formerly the nights were cool
but now even that comfort has been
taken away from us. People generally
are hoping for rain, which naturally
would inaugurate different weather
conditions.

SAD DEATH Of
ARTHUR B. Smith

Arthur b. Smith, of Upper Marlbor-
ough, Maryland, departed this life at
$40 O'Clock Saturday night at the
home of Lafayette Sechler, Kipps
Run. This death is one of the saddest
that has taken place in this vicinity
in long time.
The deceased, who was a nephew of
Mrs. SechleT, came north about the
first of July to spend his school vaca-
tion. About five weeks ago he was
taken i'll of typhoid fever. He had
nearly passed through the siege and
| seemed on fair way to recover when
about ten days ago he suffered re-
| lapse. From that date his condition
became critical On Friday hope was
abandoned.
The deceased was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. r. Smith of Marlborough,
Maryland W. r. Smith, the father,
is native of this place, but for some
20 years has resided at Marlborough,
| where he holds the office of register of
wills. Arthur was l9 years of age. He
was very promising young man and
was much beloved by his associates,
having many friends among the young
people of this vicinity, where he fire.
quently visited. Last year he was at
school in Front Royal. Va, and was
preparing for law course. Besides
his parents he is survived by broth
er, Norman, l6 years of age.
Arthur B. Smith of Upper Marlbor-
ough, Md whose sad death-of typhoid
fever was noted Monday, was consign-
ed to the grave in Odd Fellows ceme-
tery Tuesday afternoon.
The funeral, which took place from
Christ Episcopal church at O'Clock,
was preceded by short service at the
residence of Lafayette Sechler, Kipp's
Run, where death occurred. Rev. John
Sherman, pastor of the First Baptist
church, officiated at the residence in
the church Rev. Edward Haughton
conducted the service.
The pail bearers were six young men
from town: Robert Jacobs, Randall
Jacobs, Ellis Lando, Charles Hartt,
John Kase and Blaine James. The
flowers were beautiful. comprising
many tributes from individual friends.
Among those from out of town who
attended the funeral were: Mr.. and
Mrs. w. r. Smith, father and mother,
and Norman Smith, brother Of the de-
ceased, and Dr. and Mrs. Kline, Of
| Reading.
The cinder roadbed on Bloom street,
which affords hard driving under any
circumstances, is considered unfit to be
driven by funerals. Where it can be
done Centre street is used. On the oc-

machine THAT
POSSESSES speed

/ In these days when the law relating
to automobiles is SO strictly enforced
/ the names of those owning machines,
who have been made to pay the pen
atty for exceeding speed limit is sim
| ply legion. 1t is no doubt very un-
| pleasant ard humiliating experience
to come to grief in this way 1t re
mains for the town of Shamokin To
afford instance in which an automo-
! bile owner knows how to be philosO-
| phical, even good -natured under the
circumstances.
On last Sunday the young man, who
belongs to one of the most enterprising
business firms of Shamokin, ran through
Danville with his automobile. Being
from the coal region town, where ev-
erything moves rapidly, it is not sur
prising that he bowled through Dan
/ willie at a lively clip.
On Monday he received from Chief
Mincemoyer of our town a communi-
cation, informing him that the officer
held a warrant for his arrest for ex-
ceeding the speed limit of ten miles
per hour. and explaining to him that
he could facilitate matters and avoid
further annoyance by forwarding a
check for twelve dollars, which includ-
ed fine and costs.
Yesterday chief of-police Mincemoy-
er received a reply from Shamokin as
follows:
j. 6. MincemOyer,
Dear Sir; Your communication re-
ceived. | am unable to state at which
am most surprised-yOur charge that
| was speeding over the limit or the
fact that the old car could go over 10
miles an hour, fact of which | was
heretofore doubtful But it's an i'll
wind that does not blow some one
some good. expect to dispose of the
car shortly and rs speed is the first
and most essential requisite l will be
able to produce unimpeachable evid-
ence that my car possesses speed.
Thanking you for the unsolicited
favor | herewith enclose check for $12
to balance account.
Very sincerely yours,
EE&
Chief MincemOyer, who is used to
pickering and bitterness generally on
such occasions, was nearly dumbfound
ed by the cool and witty reply and at
once came to the conclusion that he
was up against a true sportsmen. Yes
terday the Shamokin man received the
following reply from Danyille:
Dear Sir:-l am in receipt of your
check for Sl200 for exceeding speed
limit. We have course of 100 yards
ON Mill street, which you covered in
I seconds making the rate just Is. 81

Unquestionably chiffon wells, while
not exactly going out of fashion, are
not nearly so popular as was the case
last year or the year before. For one
thing the present style Of hat does not
admit Of much further adoTnment. and
its shape IS not designed for the all
covering yards of chiffon. There are
some few fat sailor shapes with which
1t is comfortable to wear a flowing veil,
and for tennis. 20 save the complexion,
a chiffon veil may be tied over the brim
of a fat hat With a sailor or lingerie
hat a ven is never correct. save as said
above veil IS permissible with sailor

a veil is worn for convenience to ward
of the dust, and the automobile veil is
naturally still in existence. although
