j. n. OsTENDORFF is DEAD.
Found Unconscious, Having Been
Overcome by Fumes Of Gas.
(Charleston Sunday News.)

(CharlestOn Sunday News,)
Unable to regain consciousness de-
spite the efforts OF attending nhyysi-
clans, j. II. Osted0rff died yesterday
morning about o'clock at his late
residence, No. TT Calhoun street,
from the effects Of asphyXiatiOn sus-
tanned while inhaling gas from a de-
fective heater in the office of tho
Burgess Company late Friday evor4s

his chailh'in( tile Office. One FIJI day he
was alone In the Office OF the Burgess
Company, and 1t Is supposed he must
have lighted the gas stove and then
gone to sleep. The gas stove Is an
old one, and leaked in a number of
places, and through this means he
breathed tho poison into his system,
which yesterday morning caused his
death
On Friday Mr.. Ostcndorff went to-
his Office as usual and was scon and
talked to by a number of people dur
ing the course Of the afternoon.
When night came his relatives wait
cd for some time for him to come
home, and finally became alarmed
and FASTENED to his office, where
they knew he had been alone. Arriv-
ing at the office they found Mr.. Os-
tendorff lying unconscious on tho
floor and tho room full OF gas. From
his position and the arrangement OF
things around him 1t appeared as IF
he had been working, and, suddenly
becoming droWsy, had fallen asleep
Or 1t may be that while he was work.
ing he gradually became overcome
by the gas fumes. From the fact
that he was lying on the floor It
seems as though he had made some
sort Of struggle to either put out
the stove or to leave the room. AS
he never regained consciousness the
truth Of his death will never be
known.
AS soon as his family found him
they hurried him to his home and
they realized his condition to be crit
ical. Until an early hour yesterday
there was hope for his recovery.
At 8 o'clock last night the coroner
held an inquest and the jury return
ed a verdict Of death by accident,
caused by gas fumes escaping from a
stove.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at o'clock in st. An
drew's Lutheran church, Rev. M. G..
G. Scherer officiating.
Mr.. Ostendorff was we'll known In
Walhalla, where for number Of
years he was engaged in business.
He moved with his family to Char
lesion some fifteen or eighteen years
ago. III early life he married Miss
Carrie Ansel, sister Of Misses Kate
and Mariah Ansel, Of Walhalla, and
OF our former townsmen, John J.
Ansel, deceased, and Ex-Governor
NJ. F.. Ansel, now OF Greenyille. Mrs.
Ostendorff and several children sur
vive him, and to them Is extended
the sincere sympathy 'of hosts OF
friends In and around Walhalla, to
whom the sad news contained In the.
announcement of the Charleston
News came as great shock and
source Of deep sorrow. Mr.. Osten-
doTff was well known as one OF the
old citizens Of Walhalla, and his
name was familiar to all who know
Walhalla well. He was about seven
ty-two years Of age.

Very Truly Yours,

as their expenses of doing bust
ness are 80 much less. The deal
ers in country villages receive
the same quotations and prices
that his competitor receives in
the larger cities, while his eX-
penses are nothing as compared
to his city rival. Then when
you spend your money at home
the dollars will have a chance to
come back to you. They will
never return when sent to a dis
tant mail order house.
In speaking Of the loyalty to
your home town this fact should
be considered. The interests of
any community are so closely
allied and interviewer that injury
to the interests of one class is
injury to the other. Money
kept in local circulation through
patronage of home industries
means better opportunities and
better times for all concerned

SUCKERS"

In a free country like this there
is no law against the people of
any community developing the
trait of suckers" and that is
how the mail order houses re-
gard their customers. If you
cannot find what you want in
your home town because of the
smallness of stock, it is much
better to have your home mer-
chant order it for you. He will
get you standard goods of we'll
known manufacture and will get
them at wholesale prices, while
you must pay retail prices and
accept the cheapest goods that
can be made, as the mail order
houses look not for quality, but
only for price. The village, has
not, of course, the opportunity for
selections afforded by the city.
but they have catalogues and
price lists from the leading man.
ufacturers of staple goods and
can make you much lower prices
than you can obtain the same
quality of goods for elsewhere.
