Sportsmen Save Your Game Heads

The season for deer hunting is near at
hand. Hundreds of nice heads are spoiled
every year by ignorance and careless
handling. A skin for mounting should
never be cut on the throat or neck.
Stick your deer under the foreleg just in
front of the heart. Start to skin directly
between the ears. Cut down on the top
of his neck to the shoulders, being very
careful to keep in center of neck. Cut
around neck well down to foreleg. Be
sure to get the skin long enough. Skin
up to the base of the skull, cut off the
eaIs and neck from the head, Be sure
to salt the skin thoroughly and fill mouth,
eyes and all bullet holes with plenty of
salt. Scrape all blood out of the hair
and salt all bloody places. Get it to your
taxidermist as soon as possible. Heads
soon spoil. Save your nice heads if the
horns are poor as any large taxi lermist
will buy them for the skin. 1t will fit
some other fellows case just as well
Don't throw away nice head, they are
worth saving.

AT The CHURCHES
Congregational

A large and appreciative audience wa
in attendance at the Congregations
church last Sunday morning. Especially
good music was rendered, and the Pas
tors sermon was decidedly interesting
The scripture lesson was taken from
Acts 26:l-2l. The text was from the
10th verse and read as follows;-" Where.
upon, 0 King Agrippa, ! was not disobe'
dent unto heavenly vision"
Visions and their relative position in
the life of man was the main thought in
the Pastors message. The trend of
thought being in part, -Although visions
are in themselves sometimes skeptical
| yet man owes great deal to visions. A
young man who has no visions is dull and
may be said to be composed mostly of
clay. The most noted men of this and
other ages have been dreamers. Poets,
authors, inventors and even our pioneers
are among the foremost men who have
had visions, and having had them obeyed
to great extent their message and there
NY DcC"hc uOleu. Inc Visions OF raul
the Apostle, meant more to the civilized
world than the greatest battles of history.
Visions are responsible for our nation.
America would never have existed had
it not been for the visions of Columbus.
Columbus was great because he dared to
cross the then unknown seas in obedi-
ence to his visions.
Visions are responsible for the better
part of our natures. If we are not ODE
dent to our nobler visions our natures
become rough. All great reforms have
been due to visions. Reformers owe
their success to visions. Had they not
been obedient to them and given all their
better selves to their work, reforms
would have been unknown. To make
ourselves nobler men and women our
visions should be obeyed to great
extent.
The attendance at Sunday school was
ia. The total attendance for the quarter |
was 1890, average per Sunday being 100 !
The Senior Endeavor meeting was es-
pecially interesting. The topic was in |
teresting, the members were interested,
that was what made it SO. The time for
these meetings has been changed to !

UniversaIist

At the Universalist church, Sunday
morning, representative congregation
assembled TO worship in spite of the in
clement weather of the earlier hours of
the day. The regular choir sang two APP
propropriate anthems, and in the absence
OF the regular organist, Mrs. Ida Chur-
chill, the music was in charge of Mrs.
Otto r. Keith, who officiated at the piano.
The sermon by the pastor, Rev. Otto S.
Raspe, was taken from the Book of
Psalms, Chap. 81; VS.. 2, lead me to the
Rock that is Higher than l." The topic
naturally deduced was, Aspiration IN
Life" The subject was treated sugges-
lively and was marked by we'll defined
illustrations. By his very nature man is
"a progressive being. He is not created
to remain forever on the same level
Aspiration is the motive power that
drives the machinery of human endeavor.
| t is the natural desire of man 10 ascend
to higher elevation in life. He sees in
vision the mountain top even though its
view be entirely INSTRUCTED by smoke
and by clouds. One plateau reached,
beckons on to the next higher and higher.
Excelsior, no time to tarry, ever excelsior,
upward and onward until at last when
the height is reached, the footsore, the |
pains and bruises are forgotten in the
great JOY and satisfaction of the accom-
plishment. This growth is unlimited;
it's domain comprises the physical,
mental and spiritual. Man in all his
natures and faculties is subject to devel-
opment. This Intending growth to which
man is heir, is the basis of our civiliza-
ton. Proper growth in spirit is a guar
antee of salvation.
The sermon next Sunday will be,
-" viii God Save the Worst Sinner in the
World?n

Terrible Disaster at Richford


Richford was the victim of terrible
accident last Wednesday night, when the
large elevator of the Quaker Oats Co..
was wrecked by dust explosion which
occurred without warning, killing seven.
teen people and injuring many more
! Among the victims were:-Robert Man
digo married, weigher, who worked on
the top floor; Lucius Wright, married;
Heman Lahue, married; Almer G. ORA
per, married; Charles Nareau: Louis
Papineau, married; Ralph Hare, aged
IS, clerk; Clarence Shufelt; Hadley
Holcomb; Alfred Forgue; Osia Jacque !;
j. futile; d. Laporte and VIM. Barney
At about AS o'clock in the afternoon
the explosion occurred without warning.
At the same instant the whole elevator
burst into flames, roaring and seething
as ordinary fires do after the buildings
are half burned. The roof was blown off,
and the pieces of sheet iron roofing were
carried to the north, northeast, and
northwest, some pieces being found more
than mile away. Pieces of the board
ing and timbers of the roof and roofs of
cars were blown some distance. Nearly
all of the windows of the nearest houses
were broken. Edwin H. Griee's barn i'm
mediately caught fire, as did the flour
shed just across the track. The first end
of the shed was wrecked by the explo-
sion, but the men therein were able to
get out from under the debris. All of the
men in the elevator we're caught like
rats in trap, and without doubt were
Instantly killed by the explosion.
A sad case was that of two women, Mrs.
Jerry Jellefour and Mrs. Arthur Guard
They were walking along the track CD
posite the elevator when the explosion
occurred, and their clothing caught fire
instantly. Mrs. Jellefour was probably
stunned, as she was seen to be thrown
down, and her body has not been found
1t is probably in the ruins. 1t was i'm
possible for anyone to get to her on ac-
count of the intense heat. Mrs. Guard.
who died Thursday morning, ran into
the fields tearing her burning clothes
from her body. man nearby gave her
such aid as he could. She ran home nude
save for her shoes. Before she reached
home coat was thrown about her. She
lived more than one fourth of a mile
away. Her hair was burned off and her
whole body more or less burned.

CROWDS VIEW SPECTACLE
Estimated That 10000 Persons wiz
messed the elimination Of the
Quaker cIty's Celebration
Of FOUNDERS Week.

Philadelphia, Pa, OCT. lO.--LiKe
pages out Of the past, torn from the
great book Of history and heavy laden
with the memories Of 225 years, the
living scenes Of the first great his
torical pageant ever planned In this
country were unfolden Friday before q
concourse Of perhaps 10000 people.
In this wonder drama Of the centuries
the eliminating feature Of Philadel
phia's notable celebration Of Founders
week. there were 5000 men and WON.
en- in costumes.
There were 10 mammoth floats rep
resenting months Of careful study and
faithful to the last detail In their por'
travail Of the scenes selected from the
long span Of years that have marked
the passing milestones Of the city
Following the scenes of.early settle
ment there came the period Of William
Penn and the Quakers. From TINS
time on events moved rapidly and
BENJAMIN Franklin soon followed Penn
mon the scene. 1t was not long I'm.
III the spectators found themselves
gazing upon Washington, Jefferson,
Lafayette, John Paul Jones, Rocham-
beau and others in the various scenes
Of their patriotic activities. They
looked upon Betsy Ross as she toiled
upon the flag; they saw depicted the
scene of the voting upon the Declare
ton Of Independence in the old state
house; they saw the Virginians com
ing to congress with Washington, JET
ferson and Patrick Henry at their
head; they saw the New Englanders
arrive with John Adams, John Han
cock, Samuel Adams and Robert
Treat Paine riding In the lead and
then, out Of all this pageantry OF make
believe, there came a touch OF real
history. 1t was the old Liberty Bell.
On a carefully guarded truck and part
Nv buried In straw the old relic itself
was shown as it was being hurried
away to Allentown in a hay wagon LOT
safekeeping in TIT,
On the heels of the departing bell
came the entrance Of the British
troops into Philadelphia under Sir
William Howe and Lord CORVALLIS,
both of whom were pictured In FRI
davis parade. The advent of the red
