had been built up north of our WIZ wSm reservoir, and dreamt the new dam was double as high as the old dam, and that both dams had water flowing over them, and Old Harry, fhe caretalier, was just tick!ed to death to think he had such large 1uantity of fine drinking water damned up for future use. also dreamt I heard Old Harry, the care taker, say they could keep on dam ming the water up as much as they wished, but they'd never get enough until they got connected with Ban tam river; they could then sleep easy. But | woke up just then, but went to sleep imm mediately and l began to dream again. l dreamt that womans suffrage was the real thing-that Waterbury had what's known as the skirt government. a real female bunch of city officials, and they didn't do a thing to the old timers; they would mt listen to any of them, not even the ward "heelers" or ward bosses y No, sir, they all had to take back seat Just then l woke up and found it was only dream.

SUNDAY MORNING BLAZE.
The Residence Of Thomas r. Sloan Mar
rowiy Escapes Destruction by Fire.

Our quiet town was startled by
the cry of fire about 8 o'clock on
Sabbath morning when frame
kitchen attached to the brick resi-
kenc Of I. +. Sloan, esq ON
West Water street, was disc ,,ercd
to be on fire. In a very short TIM
quite crowd had gathered, and
the fire was located between the
roof and ceiling OF the building.
The wind was blowing hard at the
time and the residence of the faml-
ly of S. NJ. Robinson, which is in
close proximity, was threatened,
the flames from the burning build
ing leaping almost to said building.
Hose attached to the by drants in
the houses of Mr.. Sloan and Mr..
Il. u. Mace soon began playing on
the building and by this time the
hose-carriage with the town hose
arrived and stream from this
hose was turned on. The fire was
so situated tina it was almost i'm
possible to reach it, being between
shingle roof covered with heavy
roofing paper and steel ceiling.
After considerable time holes were
cut through the roof and the wa
ter turned in when the fire was
soon under control. The fire
caught from a stove pipe which
was run through the roof. The
entire roof was torn off the bal
ance of the building being saved.
Had it not been for the heroic
work done by some of the men,
the Robinson house, III. L. Nace's
and DR.. Dalbey's would certainly
have been burned, and possibly
severl others, as the wind was
blowing perfect gale which would
have carried the flames In that di-
rection. Mr.. Sloan's loss is COW
cred by insurance.
We have no hesitancy in saying
that there Is not town in the
State that has better fire fighters
than McConnellsburg, and we feel
that it was through the efforts of
a number of our citizens that a
disastrous fire was averted.

CHARLIE GRIssINNER HOME.
Reached Here New Years Evening, After
Journey Of Three Thousand Miles.

e"'se~J W sh'toaha
Charlie Grissinger, a notice of
whose illness in California, was
gwen ID the News two w eksago,
Is now at the home of his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel l.. Grissing-
er, on East Water street.
When Charlie made his last
visit home, prior to his coming
this time-which was about nine
years ago, he was the very pic
ture of health-stout and robust
and weighed, perhaps, 180
pounds. He weighs now, prob.
ably not over ninety.
The change came to Charlie
while travelling one very cold win
ter IN Canada about four years
ago. He contracted very se-
we're cold, which settled on his
lungs, and since that time he has
been IN the grasp of that much
to be dreaded disease-consump.
ton.
Following the advice of his ply
sician, he left Canada three years
ago, and went to Los Angeles,
California. There he went into
the tobacco business; but last
spring, he was compelled to aban
don that and go to the mountains.
He selected Vlctorville, mining
camp, 105 miles from Los Angel
es, and went there in the hope
that the higher altitude and dry
er climate would bring to him the
much desired relief. 1t is at Vic
torvllle that the Darbys-well
known In this place--are engag-
ed in the management of the Cali
fornia %inlpg and Milling Com
pany. The elder Darby was there
all the time, and did everything
possible for Charlie's comfort,
but all to no avail.
About four weeks ago, Charlie's
father sent Olive (Mrs. A. d. Hob
man) and Hal-slster and broth
er of Charlie, to California to take
personal charge of Their sick
brother. Shortly after their ar
rival at Victorville, they were con
vinced that it would be best to try
and remove Charlie from the
place, and summoned physician
seventy-fve miles distant, to go
and see Charlie and1adylse as to
the propriety of attempting to
move Charlie to Los Angeles. AT
ter the physician had seen Char
lie, he said Charlie was not able
to stand the trip, and advised
against the attempt.
After the physician had gone,
Charlie begged his brother and
sister to start home with him.
Neither he nor they expected
that he would live to see the end
of the three-thousand mile jour
ney; but Charlie felt that the at
tempt would mean more than all
else to him-and that if his hte
should be spared until he should
again cross the threshold of his
fathers house, and look once
more into the face of his loved
parents, brothers and sisters-he
could then die.
Without further waiting, a sec.
ton IN parlor car was secured,
tender hands assisted in carrying
| the sick young man to the train,
and the party were off. After
four days and four nights of con-
tlnuous travel, he was permitted
to realize his fervent wisl-the
wish to be safe In his father s
home.
He endured the long trip re-
markably well, but the reaction
that would naturally follow such
an effort is now being felt, and
Charlie is very weak, tut happy

Miss Be.tha Cora Mock, in the
twenty.fourth year of her age,
died at the home of her parents,
Mr.. aud Mrs. George Mock in
Path Valley, on the Goth of De.
cember, 1907. After a few days
illness of diphtherla, death releas
ed her from suffering, and her
spirit went to God. Miss Bertha
was everything IN the home-so
capable, so useful, so helpful.
Her pal ents are distracted with
grief at their great loss, but while
their loss Is hard TO bear at home,
the church feels it's loss. She
was member of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and q faithful
teacher IN the Sabbath school.
But, we may say to the parents
that while human sympathy can
not reach the seat of this great
sorrow, Gods spirit and grace
can heal the wounded heart. She
said to her mother, just before
she died, that she had given all
things over into the hands of the
Lord. We feel that she has gone
on before to brighter cline. o
