Susquehanna, Decemoer 9. The sad
and sudden death of Sarah Ulrlch
Kelley ."the Bard of Shanty Hill," was
received with genuine sorrow In Sus
quehanna, where she resided several
years as.o. She was not then a can
didate for National Poet Laurate. Her
inspiration . came later on after she
removed to Honesdule.- From time to
time sho wrote unique verses, had them
printed uoon Hllus. and sold them over
the country. Hefore the war she mar
ried Horace Kelley, who was later a
soldier. At one-time she tuuuht school
in Susquehanna county. In one uf her
poems she wrote:
"I am thinking, I am thinking
Of the days when I was young,
I was the very best of teachers.
At least my praises so were sung.
By A. N. Billiard, superintendent
of Susquehanna county at , that
time;
I was educated most resplendent."
Another one of her efforts Is called
"Aspirations of the Bard, and the mot
to thereof Is Queen Carolines remark,
"Let others seek for fame; Rive me
innocence." Mrs. Kelley had, how
ever, no deeD-seuted prejudice against
fame. The "Aspirations" consist of
five stanzas nf six lines each, the object
apparently belli t" put at least one
very long and one very short line in
each verse, the others varying In
length. Hy some oversight four lines
of nearly equal length got Into one of
the stanzas, as follows:
"I'll clothe mvself with Aspiration
For inv wnrdroh Is mostly rugs
"Shreds and I'atches" are my station
Of No Hard this .Nation brags."
These lines present Mrs. Kelley as a
social reformer. It Is evident from the
clusiiii; stanza of her poem, "Bury me
Beside My Husband," that while Mrs.
Kelley did not ex:ect to be Immortal
In one sense, she was quite confident
of it In another.
"Ilury me in Jackson cemetery Is
very beautiful. Let the officiating min
ister be the Kector of Urace Catholic
Protectant Episcopal church of
. . Honesdale, Pa.
The Hard of Shanty Hill whose fame
shull never fade away."
.While Mrs. Kelly did not live to be
come Nationul Poet Luurate. she realiz
ed that she wrote better verse than
Knglund's present Lnurate. After life's
titful ferver she sleeps well. Peace to
her uslies!

THOSE DRILLERS.
Elk Mountain, upon which Scranton

stop drilling and erert an observatory?
When will people with a good deal of
seal und considerable money cease

A .correspondent of a county paper
Informs he readers that "'Mr. Wilbur

The condition of the esteemed Mr. Wil

On an average, ten tramps dally saw

fc AND HE DREAMED.
The editor of the Nicholson Examin
er, after eating heartily of liver, onions
ana raw turnips, retired to his ham
mock and dreamed a dream. Hear
him:
"I had a dream the other night, and
In my dream I saw the gate of Heaven
open. Its streets were not paved with.
nor Its walls studded with precious
gems ana linen with silver.' Seeing St.
Peter standing by the gate, I went to
him and said: 'St. Peter, I have al
ways been told that the streets of this
city were of gold; I see they are not."
Good St. Peter smiled and said: "What
funny Ideas you people on the earth
have of Heaven. St. John In his dream
on the Island of Patmos was so delight
ed over the Joys which were the fruits
of a wsll-spent life, when the earthly
eye was closed, that he wrote-oMt In a
highly colored atylej 'V ;

Perhaps It would be a charitable act.
The "Good Citizens' Lea sue of Great

The New Milford Methodists, having
obliterated a church debt, on Thurs

The bottom appears to be prety well
tilled.
When the Morman missionaries come
to Susquehanna, they can try their
hand at converting the Delsarte ar
tists in the Borough woodyurd. Those
unwashed rovers would not refuse a
parlor car trio to Utah, If the conver
sion had a bread and beer attachment,
with no sordid work to draw their
minds from the true, the good and the
beautiful.
The borough election comet h on
apace, but, up to dute, no candidate
for mayor has materialized. The honors
connected with the office are somewhat
larger than the salary; nevertheless.
several patriots will rise up and offer
to accept of the ancient and honorable
office, with neatness and dispatch. The
air is frigid when even suluryless
offices go begging for somebody to till
them. The average man has an office
bee buzzing under his hat.

CROWDS AT CHIPPEWA FALLS.
(ircat Ice t.orgv Draws Throngs of
. Sightseers from the State.
Chippewa Falls. Wis.. Dec. 8. Sight
seers to the number of 2,000 visited
Chippewa Falls today for the purpose
of viewing the Immense gorge of Ice
that has choked the river and given
this town such prominence during the
last four days. The visitors came from
all the towns nn the Central road be
tween this city and Medford, and from
Minneapolis and St. Paul two train
loads of excursionists arrived at 10
o'clock, and the city was thronged with
d crowd of strangers.
Only streaks of Jammed Ice clinging
to the fronts and sides of buildings
murk the height to which the water of
the river rose, for during the night the
Hood receded rapidly, and a fall of four
feet is recorded on the gauge. Near th
C, L. and B. company's mill the town
Is comparatively dry within ten feet
of the river banks, although three feet
of snow and Ice cover that portion of
the Hooded district which the street
laborers have not yet reached. Scores
of laborers were put to work early this
morning, and by night most of the
streets were In shape for travel and a
greater portion of the store buildings
were again ready for occupancy.
It Is conhdently believed by close ob
servers of the situation that the river
will caus' no further apprehension this
winter, and the more hopeful predict
I hut the ice will go out gradually, giv
ing the stream a dear course by spring.
The supply of anchor Ice from above
the city seems Inexhaustible. Tons of
the slushy stuff Is still pouring over the
dam. Major Jones of the United States
army left Chippewa Falls today after
slating us his opinion that the danger
of the Hood Is at an end. It is Impos
sible to get un estimate of the cost of
the Hood, for business men generally
refuse to give out any estimate of their
losses.
BOYS MAKE A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Twenty. eight Lads in a Reform
School Ksrnpc From Prison.
Kearney, Neb. Dee. 8. For some time
the boys at the reformatory school
have plotted to escape. Last night
twenty-eight of them broke for liberty.
When all were at the supper table a
signal was given and the stampede was
started. Many of them took ' knives
along and nourished them as they
rushed out.
It was the signal for fully 100 to par
ticipate in the dash. The only reason
about fifty or sixty did not make the
attempt was because Mr. Snyder, one
of the instructors, pulled a revolver and
told them he would shoot the first boy
that started.
As soon as possible the officers In
town were telephoned to, and telegrams
were sent to neighboring towns, and
up to the present time nil but fifteen
have been captured and Ave or six
others have been located.
"Kid" Thrasher, A boy sent up from
Plattsmouth, was the leader of the
break and was caught about midnight.
but his assistant. Yates, of Omaha, is
still at large. Some of the boys are
armed with butcher knives and sugar
beet knives, and will resist arrest if
the opportunity offers.

Sioux City Musicians (.ranted Per
mision to Investigne.
Sioux City, Iowa, Dec. 8. The Sllber
horn packing house ghost Is still a
thorn In the flesh uf the manager of the
plant. For months he has been unable
to keep n night watchman more than
a week before the spook, would show
up, throw the guardian of the place
Into spasms of terror and force him to
hand in his resignation the following
morning.
The building has been unoccupied for
a long time, and is a dismal place at
best. Once the manager found a man
who suid the sighs and groans of which
his predecessors spoke wer-i caused by
the wind whistling through the broken
window panes, and the shadowy form
so many of them had seen only the
moonlight llttterlng through cracks in
the Iron shutters. This man got a Job
at a good salary. He held It several
nights. Then the ghost put in an ap
pearance. It looked real enough to
startle the watchman and he look a
shot at it with his revolver. Then he
left.
" 'Twas blc us a giant, an' Ms shoul
ders was tremenjls. I wouldn't stay
another night In th' house If you was
to gim me It," lie explained as he drew
his pay and threw up the Job the next
forenoon.
Now a number of the young musi
cians of the Fourth Regiment band

Th. manager gladly gave his permit
