OLIVER 7. WILSON.

This Thursday morning at three
o'clock Oliver 7. Wilson passed
away, at his home on West Main
street, after an illness extending
over a period of many years.
He was victim of tuberculosis,
and had many times been seriously
i'll from it, but each time he rallied
and was able to attend to business
again. His last sickness confined
him to his bed for several weeks
past.
Mr.. Wilson was for many years
engaged as a salesman for whole
sale shoe house. He served several
terms as a director of Bloom Poor
District, apd was a member of the
board at the time of his death for
the fourth term of three years.
He also served as director of
Bloom School District for nine
years, and as public official he
was always faithful to his duties
and to the interests of the public.
Mr.. Wilson was born in this
county on October Ist, 1884.
When boy he lived in Pottsville
until he was IA years old, and since
then his life was mostly spent here.
He clerked in J. A. Funston'e store
at Jerseytown, and for time in
| Waterman & Beavers store in
Danville. He learned the saddler's s
trade with J. K. Grotz.
He was the first man in Blooms
burg to start on the road as trav-
cling salesman, and that was forty
one years ago, when he engaged
with M. G. Piper & Co., of Phila-
delphia, wholesale shoe dealers.
He had been in the employ of Bell
Walt & Co., of Philadelphia, fol
the past twelve years, in the same
line. That he was good sales
man is evidenced by the fact tina,
his services were so long retained
by the houses which he represented
He was twice married, his first
wife being a daughter of the late
B. F. Hartman. The following
children of that union survive him
Frank H., Harry, Charles P. Viii
son, and Mrs. J. d. White, all o1
Bloomsbury. His second marriage
was with Miss Emma Appleman o.
town, who also survives.
A son, Arthur, was killed some
years ago, by being caught in ma
chinery at the Red Mill. Two sis
ters, Mrs. Elizabeth Sweppenhei
ser, and Miss Jennie Wilson, reside
,, in Philadelphia.
The funeral will be held on Sat
urday afternoon at two O'Clock, a

SUNDAY CLOSING.

With the feeling that. it is not the
duty of the town clergymen to act
as police officers in the matter of
enforcing the Sunday closing laws,
the Ministerium has decided to
organize a Law and Order Society,
so that the laymen can also partici-
pate in the movement.
In answer to inquiries made to
several proprietors of the Sunday
open shops, we have been told that
no notice had been served on them
by any officer, and they proposed
to continue until such notice was
given.

NATURAL ENEMY OF MOSQUITO
Fish Known as millions" Relied On
to Exterminate the Pest That
Spreads Malaria.

That the destruction of mosquitoes
and the elimination of malaria should
be brought about by the greedy ap-
petite of any tribe of the piscatorial
species, seems like a far-off and i'm.
probable dream, but such an event
is the hope and prophecy of men who
have been experimenting with a min
ute fresh water fish from Barbados,
known as millions" (Girardinus pecil-
loides), large number of which have
recently been presented to the ZOO
logical gardens in London.
They are of special interest be-
cause of their supposed action in
preventing malaria. This disease is
far less prevalent in Barbados than
in other West Indian islands, and it
is claimed by many that this is due
to the presence of millions" in the
fresh water pools.
The little fish is very voracious and
destroys large numbers of the larvae
Of mosquitoes that spread malaria.
1t is proposed to make experiments
in the line of introducing this fish
into tropical countries where malaria
IS prevalent.

Attitude Toward Death.

The normal attitude of men toward
death seems to be one of inattention
or evasion. They do not trouble about
it; they do not want to trouble about
it, and they resent it's being called to
their notice. On this point the late
Frederick Myers used to tell story
which I have always thought very H.
Eliminating. In conversation after
dinner he was pressing on his host the
unwelcome question, what he thought
would happen after death After many
evaslons and much recalcitrancy the
reluctant admission was extorted: "Of
course, If you press me, believe that
we shall all enter into eternal bliss;
but | wish you wouldn't talk about
such disagreeable subjects" This,
believe, is typical of the normal mood
OF most men. They don't want to be
