from a serious accident with bis auto
Saturday evening. In coming up tbe

bridge he was obliged to atop to avoid
a collision witb a number of rigs and got
out to crank the machine. The brake
was accidentally released and the machine
backed down the incline and over tbe

most to the water's edge, where It was
stopped by a big rock. Mra. Pierce and
Miss Edna Cropp were In tbe machine at

Standard Oil officials at Wood River,
III., have announced thai 40 oewatllla will
be erected at Wood Kiver during the com
ing summer to manufacture motor spirit,
tbe newly discovered substitute for gaso
line. The first of the 40 stills will be In
operation by April 1, aud otheis will
follow lu rapid order. Motor spirit, ac
cording to tbe manufacturers, ou be
obtained for 3 cents less a gallon than
gasollue and will run a motorcar 23 per
cont farther tbao gasoline. It is designed
especially for use in motor trucks. Tbe
new oil does .nnievaporate as readily as
gasoline. Tbe officials say that tbe
scarcity ol crude oil Is becoming alarm
ing, aud ibat unless the process proves
successful, It will be but a few years
when all the oil fields are dry. A gentle
man who baa seen a sample of this new
essence ssys as a producer of smells it
heats the proverbial tan-yard -tbe odor
belug far more pungent and disagreeable
than gasoline.
Bro. White of tbe Tidioute News
offers the following suggestion which
might be a good ont: Fallowing tbe
lead of Pittsburg, wby not construct a
ee' enly foot dam at some point on Oil
Creek above Tiiu-villtf It such a dam
will keep Pittsburgh from being drowned
out every time there is a heavy dew along
tbe upper Allegheny, wby wouldn't a
similar structure ssve Titusville aud Oil
City from an annual Hood? Following
along further, wby not two hundred fool
damson the Allegheny and Monongahelia
above Pittsburg to rave Hoods In I lie
Ohii? If the Pittsburg "cat will fight"
wby not Ibe otherr? Of oourse all these
dams would go out, but ibe undertaker's
lees are just aa high at one point as an
other and wby should Pittsburg ssve ou
Its mortuary fees and not the other places?
A satisfactory answer to these queries
sent Tbe News will entitle the sender tn
a plate in Allegheny cemetery, Pitlsburg,
provided we can get tbe Slate to furnish
it.

Recent Deaths.
MOODY.
Orpbia Jan Smatbers, daughter of Da
vid and Marlba Smatbers, was born at
Heleo Furnace, Clarion county, Pa.,
August 8. 1855, aud died at Tlonesla, Pa.,
April 3, 1913. She was married in De
cember, 1883, at Corry, Pa., to Harry E.
Moody. Alter their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Moody msde their home for about
three years at Beaver Valley, then moved
to Hickory, where tbey remained about
the same length of lime. From here tbey
took up tbeir residence at Little Tlonesta
for a lime and then moved to Tlonesla,
where tbey have resided lor a number ol
years. Mrs. Moody was of a Methodist
family, ber father and mother being well
known Methodists of Clarion oounty. A
number of years ago she united with the
Methodist Episcopal cburch of Tlonesla
and remained a member nf tbe church of
ber choice until ber death. For many
months she had not been able to attend
tbe servioes of the cburch but bad mani
fested a keen interest in all of its work.
Al tbe time nf tbe last quarterly meeting
she requested ber pastor to call and ad
minister tbe Sacrament, and after ber
death ber husband found ber cburch en
velope containing her subscription for
tbe benevolent collections of the cburch.
She was a deeply religious soul and ex
tremely patient io ber suffering. Her
sickness manifested the truth nf tbe
scripture "He is a present help In time
of need." Tbe Isst time ber pastor called,
only a couple days before her death, she
expressed ber desire to depsrt this lite
and be at rest.
Mrs. Moody waa one of a family of
thirteen children and is survived by four

aud coming down the steep bluff bad
fallen aud broken oue of its le.

We will also claim tbat the Hood waa
the cause of no news letter from us for
last week, same as all late trains, etc.
But we lirmly believe ours is a good ex
cuse aa we were compelled to work on
ihe Lord'a Day to get caught up witb our
work. We leave the judguieut to you,
dear reader.
The old stork baa been about tbe bus
iest thing down this creek tbe last few
months and the baby crop was large.
The last, visit was at tbe borne of Cliff
Bsbli, ut Mayburg, where the third boy
was left contrary tn tbe order, which was
fo, a iiirl. But it must be ren embered
that lu a rush season like this the stork
has to deliver what be has in stock-
male, female or both -and we should be
thankful lhat It has tbe right number of
fingers, toes. elo. And thn end is not yet.
Fishing season Is not far away and our
people should get their tackle ready and
get out before daylight on April 15, so as
to be ready to come In before tbe 11
o'clock train pulls In, so as to get some
lih. Generally this train brings a mob
from the outside to get the game and our
people have lo take Ibe leavings. The
limit loone person is 40 In one day, but
six of a family can lake in 241) in all, and
if it is arranged right our people can get
tbe cream and let 'he outsiders take the
skim milk this year. Look out for tbe
wardens for they are possibly balf starved
about this time of tbe year and will be
ou the job at the opening. Also watch
tbe snakes. I have seen several Ibis
spring already.

same as in g od weather. This was at
times a seeming impossibility but thanks
to tbe dauntless engineer and conductor,
assisted by Supt. Fred Kiinestiver In
high top rubber boots, the trains were
safely hauled over tbe bad places and
through water. We must realize tbat
although our coaches are not as beautiful
aa other more prosperous roads and we
do not make as good an appearance as
others, we are on tbe job almost at all
times.
