cation of diseases. She had been adj
mitted several weeks prior to her
death because of burns she received
from upsetting pail of hot water,
when she became unconscious, caused
by commissions. The funeral was held
on Thursday from Mt Zion M. f..
church, Rev. j. E. johnson, pastor.
Beside her mother, Miss Spiker is sur
vived by three brothers, Thomas and
Guernie, of Grantsville; Charles, of
New Germany; and five sisters:
Emma, at home; Mrs. Ida Ebaugh, of
Meyersdale; Mary Swauger, New
Germany; Rells Spiker and Susie
Grove, both of National, Md. She
was nearly 81 years of age.
A dramatic program was given at
the Holmes and Wallace Studios last
Thursday evening. The following
numbers made up the program:
Scene from "Madcap Duchess"
Miss Mabel Younkin and Miss Lulu
Pope; Juvenile Act, Rosie's Doll,
Miss Wilma Schaefer; Scene from
Faust" Siebel, Mrs. Harold Miller,
Margarita, Mrs. Harry Bender;
Fanny Squecrs' Tea-Party, English
Comedy, Fanny Squeers, Miss Doro-
thy Edwards, Matilda Price, Miss
Helen Folk; Nicholas Nickleby, Mr.
Clyde Hitler, John Browdie, Mr.. Lee

Belmont Miller, little son of Mr..
and Mrs. Fay Miller, while playing
along the stream on South side of the
Pike at rear of Mr.. John Hanft's
property on Sunday afternoon, fell
face forward into the water. Had it
not been for a group of his playmates
being near and having presence of
mind to drag him out, he would have
drowned. He was pretty thoroughly
chilled by the time he got home, but
apparently none the worse for his ex-
perience.
With the coming of May, comes the
announcement from the Citizens
Light, Heat and Power Company of
Meyersdale, that the rates for cur
rent will be reduced from IL cents per
kilowatt to 10 cents, and a still fur
Their reduction when large number
of kilowatts are used; also a special
rate for heating purposes. This con-
venience has not been available in
the locality until this time. The Citi-
zens Company was absorbed by the
Associated Gas and Electric interests
last fall. Certainly large corpora
tion cannot be blamed for gouging
the public when it reduces the rate
and furnishes additional facilities and
conveniences. The business houses of
the town are especially appreciative
of this service, for already the Ameri-
can Restaurant has installed a Frigid-
aire ice cream cabinet to keep their
assortment of creams in the pink of
condition, also at the Keller Drug
Store, an ice cream cabinet has been
put in.
Get your favorite ice cream at the
American Restaurant; it's always
ready for you to take home. Our
Frigidaire keeps it so.-Adv. IL 1t.
Mrs. j. H. Dorsey has been a pat
lent in the Allegany Hospital at Cum

ing.
Mrs. V. L. Blocher returned to her
home on Sunday with her infant son,
who was born several weeks ago in
the Allegany Hospital, Cumberland.
Mrs. Michael Nathan's condition is
gradually improving, tho she is still
confined in the Miners Hospital at
Frostburg.
Mrs. Wilson Folk was taken sud
denly i'll last week and was rushed to

ton, which was performed on Friday.
Her condition is satisfactory.
The Kitchen Cabinet Orchestra of
First M. E. church, Frostburg, will
give a program of music and enter
tainment here in the w. o. w. Hall
on Thursday, May 18th, under the
auspices of the Ladies Aid Society of
the M. E. church. They promise some
thing pleasing and decidedly different
from what has been offered the public
heretofore. The proceeds will be di-
vided between the Ladies' Aid Society
here and the entertainers. The
orchestra is giving this musical treat
with a view to raising sufficient
money to install chimes in their fine,
large church in Frostburg.
The students of the Junior and Sen
Tor classes of High school gave a
three act comedy, "a Poor Married
Man," on Friday and Saturday even
ings to we'll filled houses. 1t was
the Invest and funniest given yet and
met the approval of the audiences.
