DEATH RECORD OF THE WEEK
Sudden Death of Mrs. j. A. CIeaVer of
Near Middletown, and Other Deaths

SuQQen Oedtn OF NtTSs " ~ SlSdNST VI
Near Middletown, and Other Deaths
A sad and sudden death occurred
in Middetown on Tuesday of last
week, when Martha B., wife of j.
A. Cleaver, of Middletown, passed
away of heart failure. The d.
ceased was 69 years of age and was
the second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George l. Burgess, of near Odessa.
She was married in 1871, and by that
marriage there has been fiveI chill
dren as follows: John B., of Mid
dletown; Matte B., at home;
Marian E., wife of William H.
Green, of Philadelphia; w. Bright.
of Lancaster, Pa, and Gilbert B.,
who died in his 2Ist year in 1896.
The particularly sad part of this
death is that the deceased and the
maiden daughter, Matte B., were
inseparable companions, and the
sorrow of this child is extremely
sad. Another sad feature was the
absence of Mr.. Cleaver from home,
being a delegate from Peach Bios
som Grange, of Middletown, to the
State Convention at Lewes, and left
his wife in apparently good health
Tuesday morning. He arrived home
on the early morning train. She
was loving and extremely devoted
mother and wife and will be greatly
missed in her home and in the COM
munity. The funeral services were
held at her late residence, corner of
Broad and Lake streets, on Saturday
last at IL O'Clock a. M, interment
being at Hickory Grove cemetery.
Death of F. H. K. Nickols
Mr.. Frank H. K. Nickols, a
gentleman well-known in Middle
town, died suddenly in Baltimore at
his home, 2907 Windsor Avenue, on
Tuesday, December 5th, aged 62
years. Mr.. Nickols was connected
with one of the city departments
and was a valuable man in his du-
ties. He was a scholarly man, So
cial and pleasant and made friends
with all he met. He leaves a
widow, formerly Miss Louise Nc
Crone, sister of Messrs. George and
William McCrone, of Middletown,
two married daughters and one son
to mourn his death. Funeral SER

BIG FIRE NEAR NEWARK
Big Barn and Contents Burned on the
Farm Tenanted by Joseph Pyle

Big Barn and Contents Burned on the
Farm Tenanted by Joseph Pyle
Believed to have been the work
of an incendiary, the barn on the
farm tenanted by Joseph Pyle, three
miles from Newark, and close to
White Clay Creek Church, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday night, De-
cember 10, together with the con-
tents including three hogs, twenty
three chickens, three wagons, farm
ing implements and crops, Just har-
vested Mr.. Pyle says the minute
he discovered the fire and ran out of
the house, he saw a man jump into
a team in the road and lashing the
horse disappeared. Neighbors liv-
ing further down the road say that
a team passed their homes the horse
going at a gallOp. The elder Pyle
and his two sons succeeded in libar-
ating the live stock excepting the
chickens and pigs. Mr.. Pyle esti-
mates his loss at $500. This is the
tAi~ 'me that a barn on the spot of
the burned structure was destoyed
by 1~e. Ten years ago while leased
by Morris Jackson, it was de-
stroyed, and several years previous
to that time it was reduced to
ashes. There was different owners
on each occasion. The animals lib
Grated by the Pyles fled from the
scene of the blaze panic stricken.
Mr.. Pyle said that 300 bushels oi
corn, $50 bushels of oats, 1,1OO bun.
dies Of fodder and eight tons of hay
were destroyed, together with three
wagons and all the farm machinery

Tales Of the Street

Ernest Orchard. the city auditor is
a man who usually knows what he is
talking about and very seldom makes
the mistake that he made at the Forks
last Wednesday.
The Elks, of course, had very en-
joyable time at Grand Forks. There
was a large crowd on the streets all
the time and it was somewhat difficult
for the men of one lodge to keep to-
gether.
During the course Of the afternoon
on Wednesday, Mr.. Orchard got a
stray from the Fargo crowd and had
quite a time finding them again. He
had walked several blocks in an en-
deavor to locate the boys from Fargo,
when II suddenly occurred to him that
he might inquire.
He stopped a policeman and asked,
Have you seen several men wearing
the Fargo number go past here re-
cently?"
"Yes sir" replied the policeman,
they are right on the other side of
the street"
"But where is the other side of the
street." asked Mr. Orchard. Il was
just over there and man told me that
this was the other side of the street"

FLIES AND KITTENS.

just as the people are beginning to
learn that the little insignificant
househy is the greatest danger to
health in the world-along comes a
city doctor and suggests that the pet
kitten of the houehold is as much to
be feared as the fly. In its glossy fur
there lurk millions of destroying
germs-watching for an opportunity to
seize upon the first human being who
comes in their reach. But don't let
this theory check the warfare which
has started against the fiies-which
have been tried already and found
guilty.

FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1911.
HEN FRUIT.

1t looks like North Dakotans are
overlooking one grand, big bet in the
egg industry. Poultry raising has been
proven to be a profitable business-if
conducted on an intelligent basis. The
business has two great sources of profit
the eggs and the sale of chickens
not wanted for laying purposes.
A copy of The Republican, published
at DEBORAH, Ia gives an idea of the
Importance Of the egg industry.
In 1909 twenty three townships in
the county around DEBORAH sold 1,S00.-
600 dozen eggs for $sO6,250.
In 1910 twenty-five OF these town
ships sold 1.114,O0O dozen eggs. These
figures did not include Lincoln town
ship, which was estimated to have
sold $4,000. The returns for the 1910
sale. outside of Lincoln township, to-
tailed $17s,s5O.
This shows what small community
can do. There is no reason why half
the counties in North Dakota could
not each duplicate the record made by
the farmers and poultry raisers around
DEBORAH. Grain is valuable crop but
the egg industry cannot be overlook
ed.
If Cass county farmers had added
100000 to their bank accounts last
year by the sale Of eggs-there would
have been a largely increased trade in
this part of the state.

SLEEP AND VACATIONS.

The Chicago Record Herald RECON-
mends quiet snooze for those unable
to take a long vacation tour-and pre-
diets just as beneficial effect. 1t says:
Spend twenty -four hours continu-
ously in bed and you win have the
equivalent in health-g giving results, of
weeks vacation OF the ordinary kind,
according to an eminent English ply
stefan. This is advice well worth try
ing by many people.
Thomas A Edison has been quoted
as saying that 'sleep is only a habit. ?
and he is said to average only five
hours night. So did Napoleon in the
latter years of his military career, but
there are historians who say he wore
himself out prematurely and that his
loss Of sleep had direct connection
with Waterloo. The amount of sleep
needed varies with the Individual
authorities hold. and women need, as 4
rule, more than men, 1t is possible %
go for long time-sometimes many
years-with little sleep, but who shall
say that such course is good or bad
for one in the end? Experts seem ia
disagree on this subject.
The London physicians laudation OF
sleep appears to be a modern version OF
Shakespeare's lines:
The innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the rayelrd sleave
of care.
The death of each days life, sore la
boris bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great Natures
second course,
Chief nourisher in life's FEAST
And 1t ought to be especially good adj.
vice for those who have habituaIlS
robbed themselves of needed sleep. The
vacation, so called, sometimes leaves
those who indulge in it in worse ply
steal condition than they were at tht
start. No such result is likely to com,
from trial of the sleep prescription.
