TOYS HERE TOO LATE
"Made in Germany" They Reach Port

The vessel, which arrived yesterday from

came mostly from Germany. They were
made in the Black Forest by hands OF
little children under the direction of fond
fathers who have since become food for
the guns in the strife now convulsing
Europe.
The Sloterdyk also brought In large
quantities of drugs from Germany. The
receipt of these shipments relieves the
anxiety of wholesale druggists, who feared
that a dearth of some of the drugs would
cause a suspension of the manufacture OF
certain by-products.

ANOTHER LANCASTER
BOY MAKING GOOD.

Mr.. Sam Walter. who was called
home by the serious illness of his father
ii few days ago, has a splendid position
with the H. X. Milford and Co, manu-
featuring chemists, of Philadelphia.
When Mr.. Walter received the mes
sage of the illness of his father, he
was in the state of Oregon one hundred
miles from railroad, and in order to
save time he made the trip overland to
Portland, rather than wait for a boat
not due to leave for three days. The
stage coach which makes this route is
drawn by six horses and four changes
of horses are made on the way.
Mr.. Walter is delighted with the
state of Oregon, Portland being his
headquarters, and is very enthusiastic
about his work and the country in gen.
eral. When he reached here he found
a letter from his company, asking that
he come to Philadelphia for few days
stay in the house and that the entire
expense of his trip will be borne by the
firm. That they appreciate his value
is attested to by these facts and his
many friends here are gratifed at his
success,

THE SICK.

All of the sick are improving. Mr..

cover. Messrs Homer Tinsley, Peter
Wells, Davis Sutton, and DR.. VIM.
Wheeler, all of whom are suffering
with typhoid fever are some better as
the Record goes to press. With this
disease, they have good days and bad
days, and during the past week none OF
these gentlemen have proven excep-
tons to the rule, but upon the whole
each of them is thought to be doing as
well as possible under the circumstances
as the disease of necessity must run
its course. Mr. William Ray, who I'M
derwent an operation for appendicitis,
and who was so seriously i'll immediate,
ly following the operation, is improving
rapidly, is able to sit up in bed, and ii
is thought from this time on his recov'
cry will be rapid.

DOG ADOPTS KITTENS.

Master James, the young son of Mr..
James Hatcher, the popular driver of
the automobile line between this place
and Danville, is the owner of a cat
which recently gave birth to four kit
tens, the ordeal costing her her life.
Two of the kittens also died shortly
after their birth. Master Hatcher is
also the owner of pug dog, this dog
seeing the dire straits of the remain
ing kitties, set about doing what she
was able to relieve their distress. She
took up her sleeping abode in the bed
of the deceased mother cat, furnishing
the proper nourishment to the bereaved
kitties. The latter seem to thrive I'M
der the tender care of their new found
mother, and follow her about with as
much exhibition of affection as if she
were their real mother. This affection
is fully reciprocated by the self con-
stituted mother and she exhibits as
much pride in her strange family as if
they were pug puppies. The kittens
appear happy and contented and have
waxed fat under the care of their dog
mother. They are now a little over
two weeks old and bid fair to live a
long and we hope a useful life.

In the presence of a congregation
which taxed the seating capacity of the
new and commodius structure to its ut
termost on last Sunday. the congrega-
ton of Christian denomination of Dan
vile dedicated their handsome newS6O, =

was preached by Rev George L. Snively
of Lewiston III. After the close of the
days work it was found that practically
all of the remaining debt upon the
church, something like $4,000. had
been subscribed, the members Of the
congregation subscribing most literally
to the fund, and even members of other
denominations assisting financially in
freeing the new edifice from debt. The
building as completed is one of the
handsomest in the state. Numbered
among its roster of officers are three
former residents of Lancaster, Messrs.
George L. Walden, Jacob A. Robinson
and John Magee.

tice of Rev. j. R. Tercy, who will be

What greater mark of esteem and
confidence can the citizens of a COM

ed integrity and more than average
ability. Mr. j. r. Tercy is now
serving his first term in the office

ranks, loyal to his friends and gen

butes to his popularity and success.

and respect of all who come in con-
tact with him. regardless of political
preference. Mr.. Tercy is a native
of Indiana but grew to manhood in
the state of Kentucky. He attend
ed Handover College, Handover. Indi-

THEIR EXAMPLE,
