could be found, a member of the picnic
party being compelled to dive into the
fifteen feet of water in order to bring it
to the surface The remains were later
brought to the Edison undertaking estab-
lishment in this village and prepared for
the funeral, which will be held Sunday
afternoon at o'clock, with the burial
in the cemetery here.

liked by his playmates. His father car
ries on the Charles Badger farm. There
are three other children in the family,
all younger than the boy who was
drowned.

They Are Laid to Militant
Suffragettes.

London, July 5. The Methodist chap
Ell in the Welsh seacoast town of Pell-
hell, which was constructed recently at
a cost of $4,000, was destroyed by fire
to-day, and an attempt was made to
burn the Baptist tabernacle in the
same town. This is the fourth case OF
sacrilege in northern Wales in a week.
As usual, when an incendiary fire oc-
ours, the militant suffragettes are sus-
pected, but no evidence has been found
to incriminate them.
Another supposed attempt by militant
suffragettes to commit outrages on pub
lie property occurred at Bolton, Ian
cashiere, this morning when caretaker
in the new town hall, which cost $780,,
600, discovered a parcel containing ex-
plosives in letter box. The attached
fuse had burned out.
More suffragette leaders were released
