Benjamin Kline, we'll known and
prominent citizen OF Winslow township,
who had resided In this community
about forty-fve years, coming here
when this section was wilderness,
died suddenly at his home at S.45 p. m.
Wednesday, January g. 1906 He was
eating supper at five o'clock when he
was suddenly seized with an intense
pain in the region of the stomach. He
was carried to the lounge and one of his
sons made a fast ride to town for
doctor. The doctor found Mr.. Kline
suffering with such terrible pains that
he gave him a hypodermic injection of

On Tuesday morning, January End,
the school children again wended their
way to the Hall of Learning after a
happy and profitab vacation OF two
weeks and day In the meantime the
1anitor and assistants had cleaned the
rooms up generally, so that everything
was spic and span for the school work
Of 1905.
Last Friday evening, as the third
number of the lecture course, DR.. A. A.
Willis gave his lecture on Sunshine"
AS Prof. Scott said in introducing the
lecturer, although over "a years of age
DIR. Willis Is certainly the prince OF
lecturers. His strong personality, pleas
ing voice and refreshing humor kept
his audience spellbound. His lecture
wildly showed : That sunny temper
aments make beautiful faces the un-
hangable crime OF those who murder"
human happiness by their i'll temper
unselfishness as the best source of hap
piness !; the fallacy of using religion as
fire escape"; and that the best gift
we can give our fellow-men is sunny
disposition. Perhaps his lecture could
best be summed up in the rhyme he
gave for every one to remember:
THAT man is blest
Who does his best
And leaves the rest
Don't worry.
Certainly no one could hear his simple
philosophy for happy life without
wishing to adopt it,

morphine, which gave him relief and
he was able to sit up and smoke cigar.
When the doctor left Mr.. Kline, about
eight o'clock, he was not suffering
much and seemed to be entirely out OF
danger. At S.45 Mr.. Kline laid down
on the lounge and as he did so he ex-
claimed, "Oh that pain in my shoulders"
and died instantly. The pain had
gripped his heart and 1t ceased to do
its work, and in the twinkling of an eye
an active life had closed and Benjamin
Kline's earthly career was ended. The
announcement OF his death was a great
surprise to his numerous friends, as 1t
was so sudden and unexpected. He had
been strong and rugged man up until
within the past year, but even In his
declining health no one thought for
moment that the death angel would
call for him 80 soon. This is another
admonition Of the frailty Of man and
the uncertainty Of life.
Benjamin Kline was born at New
Castle, Schuylkill county, Pa, April IL,
1886, and would have been 10 years old
the 18th Of next April. He was one Of
family Of IA children. Was the son Of
Reuben Kline, railroad contractor,
who died at the advanced age OF 90
years. Benjamin Kline came to this
section of the state in 1857, when 81
years old. He helped make the geo.
logical survey Of Elk, Forest and Nc
Kean counties. Most OF his early life
was spent in hewing timber and making
railroad ties. January !, 1859, he was
married to Elmira Clayton, daughter Of
Benjamin Clayton, who then resided at
Prospect Hill, Winslow township, JEFF
ferson Co., Pa.
In 1862, while employed in making
ties for the Philadelphia & Erie rail-
road at Wilcox, he responded to the
call for soldiers and enlisted in Company
e, 1T regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers, and was Immediately sent to
Yorktown fort. He remained there
until Lees invasion of Pennsylvania
and his regiment was among those sent
north to check the invasion. They
marched seventeen days continuously
and arrived at Gettysburg the evening
the battle closed. The long march was
too much for Mr.. Kline and he was sick
when he arrived at Gettysburg, and was
granted furlough. The march re-
duced him from 200 lbs. down to 14O lbs.
He was discharged soon after the battle
at Gettysburg. He had FIVE brothers
in the army, George, Charles, Isaiah,
Edwin and Reuben Kline. One OF them
died at Fredericksburg.
April l, 1867, Mr.. Kline moved on to
the j. E. Dean farm where he lived
until April l, 1877, ten years, and then
moved on to the farm now owned by
George Rea. April 1, 1884, moved to
the farm now occupied by John E.
Hetrick. In 1885 he bought from
Powers, Brown & Co., without build
ings on it, the farm he resided on at
time Of death. He erected buildings
and moved to that farm In 1887. He

days earlier than usual, the open
ing date for the last few years hay
ing been March 1.
The establishment of the colo
nists' rates by the transcontinental
railroads resulted in heavy move
ments to the Pacific coast. Wheth-
er the earlier date will result in
an increase of business remains to
be seen. 1t is said that the earlier
date was selected on the request
of the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern, the Burlington and the
Union Pacific lines, while the San

CONSTRUCTED

1t has been found the proposed
armory building for Spokane will
cost $29,170 more than was expect
ed and unless this amount is raised
the convention hall for this city
may be abandoned.
The original estimate for the
building was $43,2S0, while at a
meeting held yesterday when bids
were opened by the armory COM
mission, it was found that the
building, without the ground would
cost $72,450. The increase is said
to come from the increased cost in
