cause one person was present who
attended that first meeting, namely
Mrs. l.. Cornelia Bush. Mrs. Bush
read before the society the minu-
tes of the organization meeting. and
sketch of the work of the years
was given by Mrs. j. H. Kennedy.
Fred Kennedy, of this place, died
at Halstead where he had gone,
apparently in usual health, to attend
business meeting of the North
eastern Telephone company of which
he was President. He had just
called the meeting to order and was
about to put vote before the body
when he was noticed to hesitate.
He sank rapidly and died In less than
three hours from the time of being
stricken. The family were immedi-
ately notified and Mrs. Kennedy
taken in a motor car, but was too
late to see him alive. The funeral
was held at the Kennedy home on
Tuesday. Services were conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Schenk of the M. E..
church with Mr.. Crosier, of Thomp-
son, as funeral director. Seldom
has such full representation of the
towns people turned out to show
their regard and sympathy for one
of their number who has gone.
Relatives, friends and neighbors
came with hearts full of sympathy
and regret. Fred. Kennedy was
born in Pleasant Mount fifty years
ago, and had lived and 'prospered in
his home town. He was very
successful man, a kind friend and
a devoted and loving son, husband

WHITNEY sUSTAINS COOK.
Tells How They Had to Subdue
Boatswain and That Doctor
Told of Pole.


Boston, Oct. 2.-Threats of death
and savage chickering's at Etah on
the frozen shores of North Green
land attended the arrival at the
Peary camp there of DR.. Frederick
A. Cook. On one occasion, when
appealing to Boatswain John MUIR
ply, of the Roosevelt, to extend the
courtesies of the camp to the wasted
and half-famished explorer Cook,
Harry Whitney, the young New
Haven sportsman, who came here
from fourteen months in the Arctic
Circle, was threatened with an axe
by Murphy and had to threaten
Murphy in turn with a shotgun be-
fore the fiery boatswain's temper
cooled.
This and other quarrels with MUIR
ply at Etah are the secrets that
Whitney has so closely guarded and
concerning which he refuses to ut
ter a syllable. To friends who came
down from St. Johns, N. F., with
him after he left the Jeanie on
Tuesday he unbosomed himself. He

WAYNE COUNTY
SUNDAY SCHOOL
WORKERS MEET
Enthusiastic Gathering of Christian
Workers at Bethany.

NOfkcfS at Betuany.
The annual convention of the
Wayne County Sunday School Asso-
citation met at Bethany on Friday, in
the Presbyterian church. This edi-
flee is the oldest house of worship
standing in the county. Work on
construction commenced in 1922,
and it was not completed until 1885.
The church cost $4,000. A number
of ministers labored in this church
until Rev. E. o. Ward was called to
the pastorate in 1853, and continued
in the field until compelled to dis
continue on account of age. Rev.
]. B. Cody is now pastor of the Beth
any church.
The first Sunday schools in this
county were organized in 1918.
There were three schools organized
that year at Bethany, Canaan and
Salem. An interesting incident of
the Canaan school is that Abigail
Frisbie recited 3,O62 verses on
eight Sundays, for which she receiv-
ed Bible and hymn book. The
Bethany Sunday school was organ
lied July 19, 1918, in the court
house at that place, with six teach
ers, 80 scholars, and V. NJ. Dibol as
superintendent. This school organ
lied as association in 1919 for the
opening of schools elsewhere and
through the work of this organiza-
tion Sunday schools were started in
other parts of the county. Rev. e.
o. Ward superintended this school
for more than 80 years and it is
still in existence. There was Sun
day school union movement in the
| county about 1880, but the greatest
organized Sunday school movement
in Wayne county was in 1871, when
the Wayne County Sabbath School
Association was organized in the
Presbyterian church at Honesdale.
The convention proper opened at
1O:30 a. m. with devotions led by
Rev. w. B. Signor, pastor of the
Bethany Methodist church. Rev. ].
B, Cody, pastor of the Presbyterian
| church in which the convention
was held, gave the Welcome to
Bethany" address. R. NJ. Stocker,
| lISQ1 VI IlOHSSudl0, wayne county s
historian, then gave most interest
ing talk upon Bethany, the First
Home of Sabbath Schools in This
Section" The next half hour was
spent in receiving reports from the
different departments upon the fol-
lowing subjects and offered by the
following persons:
tfTponbi0O TraininuD Dau
Whitaker, rector of Grace Episco-
pal church. Several good points
were brought out. adult Bible

facts that furnished thought for re-
Election. Miss Caroline A. Kalisch
who presented Primary Depart
ment and Cradle Roll" thoroughly

number of suggestions that are

department.
The address of the morning was
given by Mrs. M. ]. Baldwin, a field.

PORTLAND FEARS FLOOD
Sudden Hot Spell Would Create
Waste of Waters.
(By Associated Press. }

Portland, Ore, April 16.-Con-
tinued cool weather brings the posi-
bilities of a flood in June. Both the
weather man and the "oldest inhabi-
tant" combine in the prediction of a
flood that will rival that of 1894 un-
less the weather warns up and a.
lows a part of the water to run off.
Reports received at the weather
bureau today from the Snake river
station in Yellowstone park give, on
March /, 1913 inches of snow at the
7,OO0-foot elevation and 100 inches
in the surrounding canyons.
A sudden hot spell would start a
rush of waters down the Snake and
Columbia rivers.

What Is Distilled Water ?

Most people understand clearly that distilled water
is simply condensed steam. -
There is some confusion however, in few minds
Occasionally the question is asked whether distilled
water is not the same as boiled water
The difference is VITAL When water is distilled the
steam rises from the boiling fluid and leaves all inn
purities in the heated vessel It enters the condenser
absolutely pure and is transformed into water which
is composed only of the two clements hydrogen and
oxygen.
Boiled water may kill germs and work chemical
changes in the water but the heating process does not
remove the impurities. It only changes their form.
Distilled water has a taste that may seem different
from ordinary water at first But that taste becomes
highly de]ectabe when you appreciate that it is the
sign of absolute purity and protection against disease
Wagner Water is distilled water that is made by
the famous Wagner STILL It is the same as the gov
eminent uses on the u. S. battleshps It aerates the>
water and gives it taste as refreshing as drink
from the 'old oaken bucket"
You are invited to call at our plant on First Street
where you may sample draft of the water and see
the stills at work.
