Richard A. OHutt Dead.

Richard A. Offutt, aged 50 years, died
Wednesday morning of last week at the
residence of Mr.. Jacob M. Keefer, Ridge
avenue, Waynesboro, after a lingering
illness caused by a complication of dis
eases and an acute attack of the grip.
Mr.. Offut was born in Frederick coun-
ty, Nd, near Motters, being a son of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Offutt. He was bach
elor and owned farm on which he liz
lived until number of years ego, when
his sister, who kept house f, h m, died.
Being in poor health, he sold the farm,
and travelled through the south, princi
pally, for his health. At different times
he went to the home of Mrs. keefer,
whom he reared as a child and spent
some time there. While travelling in the
south last July he became i'll, and return
ed to the home Of Mrs. Keefer, where he
lived until the time of his death.
He had been member of Mt. st Ma
ry's Catholic church near Emmtsburg,
but recently became member of st.
Andrew S Catholic church at Waynesboro.
Funeral services We're held Saturday
and the remains brought over the w. M.
railroad to Thurmont, and taken to Mt.
St. Mary's where nterment was made.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob Keefer and family
accompanied the remains to Mt. st. Ma
ry's. E. E. Black was funeral director.

FENCE POSTS MADE DURABLE.

Fence posts OF many kinds OF cheap
woods which ordinarily would soon
decay if set in the ground can be
made to last for twenty years by a
simple treatment with creosotc. Most
of the so-callcd ''infcriorn woods are
well adapted to the treatment, and
this is especially true of cottonwood,
aspen, willow, sycamore, low-grade
pines, and some of the gums. When
properly treated, these woods outlast
untrcated cedar and oak, which are
becoming too scarce and too much in
demand for other uses to allow OF
their meeting the demand for fence
posts.
mpregnation with creosote has
been greatly chcapencd by the intro
duction of the "open tank" which
can be installed at Il cost of from $50
to $I5, or much less if an old boiler
is used. A tank with q bottom II
square feet in area will suffice for
treating 40 or so 6-inch posts day,
or double this number when two runs
per day can be made. The absorption
of creosote per post is about as follows:
Eucalyptus, one tenth gallon; willow,
two-tenths gallon; sassafras, hickory,
ash, red oak, water oak, elm, and
maple, four-tcnths gallon; Douglas
fir, quaking aspen, and black walnut,
six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood, and lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price of crcosote
is about 10 cents per gallon in the
East and Middle West, 1G cents per
gallon on the Pacific coast, and 27
cents per gallon in the Rocky Mount
ain States The cost of treating a
post will therefore vary from 4 to Is
cents. Properly treated, it should
give service for at least twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Service
show that with preservative treatment
the durability of lodgepole pine in
Idaho is increased sixteen years. The
cost of creosote is there relatively
high, yet by treating posts there is q
saving, with interest at 6 per cent, of
2 cents per post yearly. More i'm
portant than the saving, however, is
the fact that through preservative
treatment other woods are fitted To
take the place of cedar, of which the

On Saturday afternoon last, John Marks
of Emmitsburg, while on his way to
Thurmont met with an accident. When
near the Standard Oil Co. tanks, this
place, one of the clips holding the spread
on the wagon broke, the spread falling
struck one of the horses on the heels.
The horse frightened and started to run,
the other horse ran and both were soon
beyond control. The spread was freed
from the axle of the wagon; Mr.. Marks
was thrown out and the wagon somewhat
demolished. Both horses ran through
town at terrific speed and when near the
end of Water street, took to the pave
ment and in their effort to leave the
pavement one went to the right and one
to the left of telephone pole, the yoke
and straps bringing them to sudden
stop, after which they made no effort to
get away. The horses were not hurt,
but Mr.. Marks right knee was cut and
bruised severely. DR.. M. A. Birely

When you have the grip there is a

Heavy Rains: High Waters.


Saturday night last heavy rain fell il
this locality. The rise in temperature
caused the snow and ice to melt and this
with the rain that fell soon had streams
at food stage. Little rain fell during
Sunday, but heavy clouds obscured the
rays of the sun all day. About foul
oclock in the afternoon vivid flashes OF
lightning and heavy thunder were seen
and heard in the east.
High winds, heavy thunder, rain, hal
and snow storms occurred at different
sections of the country Saturday night
and Sunday as the following press re-
ports show:
Baltimore, Jan. IA thunderstorm
of summer like ferocity, with vivid light
ming that did some damage and thunder
that rumbled over the heavens in awe
inspiring volume, broke over Baltimore
this afternoon. Not only did the thun-
der roar and the lightning flash, bnt rain
came down in torrents and hail descend
ed with singing force.
Hail the size of pea fell for fully
eight minutes at Catonsville, completely
covering the streets. A number of roads
throughout the First district were heavily
damaged by the heavy rains.
Cumberland, Nd, Jan. 12. From the
rain last night and this morning Will
creek is away beyond it's banks, as are
also the North and South branches of the
Potomac river.
The thaw contributes to the flood, there
having been about Is inches of snow in
the mountains.
Easton, Nd, Jan. 12.-In thunder
storm here today hailstones as large as
birds eggs broke many windows.
Winchester, Va, Jan. IL. Higher tenn
perature and a steady rain falling on
about IL inches of snow caused a general
flood in downtown sections of Winchester
today.
Philadelphia, Jan. ia heavy thun-
der storm passed over the city this even
ing, bringing to close day marked for
it's warmth. The storm was accompanied
by high winds and lasted nearly two
hours, in which there were several heavy
peals of thender and brilliant flashes of
lightning.
New York, Jan. IL. Daylight broke in
heavy rainstorm down the harbor to-
day. At quarantine the wind was gusty
and rain fell necessarily.
Chicago, Jan. 12.-Chicago and its en-
virons were cut off for several hours to-
day from wire communication with other
points by snow and wind storm which
began before dawn and ragged without
break all day. Snow continues to fall
tonight. A northeast gale drove binding
masses of wet snow before it.
Milwaukee, Jan. ia fierce blizzard
swooped down on Milwaukee. early today
and tonight continued without abate-
ment. Telegraph and telephone wires
are down in all directions and street rail-
way traffic is paralyzed. Steam railroads
report trains only slightly delayed.
The weather bureau reported fall of
16 inches of snow up to Z o'clock tonight.
