Ingratitude For Kindness.

One day last week a strange boy about
II years of age appeared at Frank Brick
ley's, near Ebenezer, and asked for work.
He was riding bicycle and said his
name was Elmer Waldraven and that he
had been living at West Chester and
working at the Baldwin Locomotive works
until the present strike had thrown him
out of employment. He further stated
his mother was dead and that his father
was performer in Ringling Bros. circus
and had abandoned him two years ago.
The boy was taken in and given light
employment about the premises and was
seemingly well pleased with his new.
home. Last Sunday afternoon while
portion of the family were at church and
the other members were entertaining
visitors on the porch the boy decamped
by the back door and when he was missed
and search made in the upper rooms it
was found $40 was missing. The alarm
was instantly raised and the station at
Rising Sun watched at train time. Later
in the evening John Donache who was
taking spin in his auto on the state pike
east of town saw boy afoot near w. T.
B. R. Roberson's and as the lad was try
ing to hide behind the hedge he was
overhauled and detained until parties were
brought who identified him and took him
back to Brickley's where he confessed to
the theft and returned the money. He
was then brought to Rising Sun and
placed in the lookup where he remained
until the following morning. The Brick
leys did not wish 70 prosecute him. but
after he was given lecture supplied him
with car fare to return to Philadelphia,
the boy leaving his bicycle, which had
been broken during his stay, with Mr..
Brickley's son in exchaage for the $2.7s

Floor Gives Way.

The floor of the stock room of the
Oxford News Office gave way on Friday
afternoon, precipitating two job presses,
one million book covers, and large
amount of paper stock into the cellar.
To make matters worse there were be-
tween three and four feet of water in the
cellar and most of the paper stock was
ruined. The presses were not greatly
damaged and were fished out, and nearly
half of the book covers saved The acci-
dent was the result of the girders and
joists being rotted off by the damp cellar.
water always lying there. The book
covers were for a big job that was to be
delivered by July Ist. and the predcia-
ment of the News Office can be appreciat-
ed. The Oxford Press and other friends
lent substantial assistance in the hour of
need and editor Hitchser says Every
body showed such kindly interest and
sympathy in our misfortune that we have
decided that the salt of the earth has all
been gathered together in this one little
community" The loss to the News
through the accident will amount to
nearly $1,000. Fortunately no one was
injured as the cracking and sagging of
the floor gave ample warning of the i'm
pending catastrophe.

WATER WORKS.
Proposition To Install plant Dis
cussed At public Meeting.
MEETING CALLED FoR JULY 5th.

The town commissioners called public
meeting for last Wednesday evening for
the purpose of laying before the citizens a
proposition to install water works in
Rising Sun. The proposal briefly stated
is that company composed Of foreign
capital will sink wells, erect a standpipe,
lay the mains along all streets in town,
install twenty fire plugs. guarantee a
water pressure of IS lbs. per square inch.
at all times sufficient to throw stream
through 200 feet of hose with one inch
nozzle to a height of at least so feet In
return for this the town is to pay the
company $500 per year.

following rates pc. year

1t was stated that the fire protection
thus afforded would reduce the insurance
rate about 20 per cent. and the $500 to be
paid by the town would require an in
crease in the tax from the present rate of
80 cents on the $Ioo to 40 cents.
The proposed plant is estimated to cost
about $4,000 and the company installing
and operating il agrees to sell same to the
town at any time desired, at figure to be
determined by an arbitration committee.
The project was favorably received by
the few in attendance at the meeting and
the commissioners were requested to call
another meeting next Wednesday and
have present the representative of the
water company to explain all points in
detail
The desire was also expressed to ascer
tain if an electric lighting plant could be
run in connection and furnish lights at a
rate within the means of the town ex-
chequer and the property owners.
1t is hoped that every taxpayer in town
will attend the meeting next week SO that
a thorough exchange of views may be
had and the commissioners ascertain the
sentiment of the town. Come out!
