Mrs. Ellen Vaughn Dead.

Ellen Frances Uzzsll was born near
Bridgeton, st. Louis county, Mo-,
December 3, 1874; was married to J. @.
Vaughn In 1861; to this union were
born s children boys and 6 girls.
Their names follow according to their
ages: Anna, Frank, Lizzie, May,
Everett, Estella, Vertner and Edith.
All we're raised to manhood and wom-
anhood and remain to mourn the loss
OF their mother, except Everett, who
died some two years ago. All the
girls we're at the bedside OF their
mother during her illness. Frank,
who lives in the far west, telegraphed
that it was not possible for him to
come.
Sister Vaughn became a Christian
and united with the Presbyterian
church at the age Of l6 At age OF "a
she united with the NJ. L. church,
| South, at Martinsburg, Mo From there
she transferred her membership TO
WellsvilIe, at which place she retained
a membership in good standing until
$40 a. M, May 81, when she ceased
tn he a member OF the Wellsville NJ
f. church, South, and went to Join the
Church Triumphant, In the CITY OF
the New Jerusalem. Sister Vaughn
was a good woman. Her goodness was
manifest in that she would often sac
riace so much that was dear to her ID
order to help others
She was a faithful, kind and loving
mother and a faithful Christian and
church member. She was the pastors
friend, and a faithful supporter OF the
church; paying, perhaps, more than
auy other member Of the Wellsville
church her circumstances considered
The church is poorer in the death O
Sister Vaughn. Seldom, when aoI'
to attend, was she absent from the re
unlar preaching services Her place is
vacant and will not be easily filled D!
one so good. Deceased was 81 years
4 months and 10 days old. Peace u
her ashes.

NO EXCUSE FOR CATARRH.
Worst Cases Are Quickly Cured by
Breathing Hyomei Guaranteed
by Woodbridge & Purdy.

There is really not the slightest ex-
cuse for anyone haviving catarrh, now
that Hyomei is so widely known and
SO easily obtained. The worst cases
of catarrh are quickly cured, simply by
breathing the remedy through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit.
The complete outfit, consisting of a
neat pocket inhaler, a medicine drop
per, and a bottle OF Hyomei costs only
one dollar, while extra bottles can be
obtained for SO cents, making Hyomel
the most economical, as well as the
most reliable method for curing Ca
tarrh.
Woodbridge s. Purdy positively
guarantee a cure when Hyomei is used
10 accordance with directions, or they
will refund the purchase price.

CIRCUS DAY CLOSE AT HAND.
The Gentry Shows to Exhibit Here.

Circus day will loon be here. The
advance brigade of the famous Gentry
Shows are In town aud the show will
follow in a fortnight. The exact date
is June l. Fifteen men are on the
advance car, with ten Others to fol-
low on Car No. 2, which arrives later
on. This OF itself indicates to some
extent the increased magnitude of the
Gentry Shows this year. Contracts
have been made with the local bill
posting plant for all the available
space for billing purposes to be had,
and the liveryman has acontract for a
number Of teams to visit the country.
In other words the Gentry Shows
must n o longer be considered "only a
dog and pony show" a name which
has chung to them for eighteen years
now. 1t is true that the show has as
many wonderful animal Gets, and
| more animal actors than ever, but
| there are also q number Of very high
class human performers to be seen,
making a program Of unusual excel
ence and variety.
Among the latter is the famous 70
hama troupe of Japanese acrobats
who are making their first American
appearance. Two herds Of perform
ing elephants, the only acting cameli
In the world, and a great troupe o.
performing zebras are also among thu
novelties.
The show is In every respect-super
Tor to any previous exhibition eve
presented by Gentry Brothers.
Some idea Of the increased magnI
tude Of the show can be gathered fror
the fact that fourteen cars, instead Q
| seven are now required to transpor
the exhibition, aad each railroa
movement is made entirely by specii
train. Twenty thousand dollars haN
been spent in increasing and enlarI
ing the menagerie and an equal SUI
. has been expended on the street pa
ade.

FISHER HEIRS WILL
PROSECUTE CLAIM.
Representative of the Heirs Will
90 to Germany in June-Mrs.
B. Hawkians Direct Des-
cendant.

MAHANoY CITY, Pa, May 29.-An
estate c~onservatively estimated at
s6l, 900, 900, with an accumulation OF
$50 years, is In Germany awaiting the
claim of heirs OF whom Daniel Fisher
Of Bloomsbury, father Of ex-county
commissioner w. Fl. Fisher, is M OF
about 1852 all Of whom are from 10 to
30 years OF age and are Of the fifth
generation Of Baron Adam Fisher,
from whom the estate descends. All
reside In this country.
The restate consists Of SOL 200, 900
held in trust and 100000 900 which
was lent to Holland TO build Its canal
system. The heirs have organized
and are ~perfecting plans and procur-
ing facts and evidence with which to
prosecute their claims. Miss Phoebe
Rossiter, OF Oxfordville, Wisconsin
whose mother is one Of the heirs and
who is Secretary Of the organization
representing several branches OF the
family has been at work for years COL
Letting facts and evidence and seeking
descendants Of the Baron. She was
In Bloomsbury today searching the
records Of Columbia County In the
different offices Of the court house.
Miss Rossiter is sanguine OF success.
She has an immense amount OF
documentary and other evidence to
establish the claims Of her clients.
The estate descends from Baron
Adam Fisher who was friend and con-
sular Of King Frederick. The Baron
had n son Adam Fisher, Jr., who
when a young man out hunting shot a
deer on the Kings preserves near bis
| palace. Usually this offence meant
death to the party committing the
deed, but his father the Baron was a
friend of King Frederick and one Of
his chief advisers. Instead OF putting
/ Adam Jr., to death the King exiled
him to America. Adam left Germany
in 1742 in the ship Mary and landed II
New York subsequently settling abou'
twelve miles from Philadelphia on thu
Schuylkill. From there the descend
ants Of Adam settled in Berks, Col
umbia and other Counties Of thu
state.
After the exile Of the youth to thi!
county the Baron died and as a pun
ishment to the son, he being the only
surviving heir, King friedrich contis
eating estate for a hundred years re
ceiving information of the demise o
the Baron, the exiled son started 10
Germany but fell Ill OF small pox ant
died in New York City. Miss Rossi
ter will supply the attorneys for tn
heirs at Washington, D. O., with al
the evidence she has collected in tim
for them to sail for June to prosecut
the claim.
