Mr. Cooper was notified and ongoing to the place found the suit to be his. This rob bery, without a boubt, was the work of tramps who desired a change of clothing for the approaching winter. —T. J. Keeler's store was broki n into last Friday night by robbers and a quant ty of wearing apparel consisting of shoes, hats, gloves and small articles of value from the show case, which was thoroughly rummaged, were taken. The con tents of an unlocked safe was hauled out and examined, but no money was found. Tracks of two men wearing numl>er seven SIMM*S were found leading to the rear of tin* store building from the alley below flu* odd 'fellows hall.

It is the law that the game mentioned cannot be killed for sale, and wen if given to a hotel man or restaurant pro prietor, if he serves them as a part of a meal for which he takes money, he is liable to arrest and punishment. This seems like a very hard law,but the state game commission says that as it is the law it will be inforced, and that its inforcement is necessary in order to preserve the gume in the state. r r School Report.

Sinclair, daughter of Mrs. Susan Ann Pennington, triumphantly en tered her eternal home. Mrs. Sin clair was fifty three years of age, and for the past twenty nine years | she had been u widow. During her years of widowhood she made her home with her mother. The last live years of her life she suffered with bronchial asthma, whose iron grasp made her an invalid. During this sickness her mother's only ob ject in living seemed to be to admin ister to her unfortunate daughter, and often it was said by those who noticed the constant devotion and increasing attachment exhibited by mother and daughter, that one could not live without the other. On Thursday, November ill, it was seen that her strength was failing, and on Monday she slept peacefully, .levermore to awake to endure her usual suffering, but opened her eyts in the world that knows 110 death. Mrs. Sinclair was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for twenty five years, was in excellent repute as a consistent a nil noble woman and was respected and lov ed by all who knew her. The bur ial took place Dec. ">, in Cherry (Srove Cemetery. The deceased is surviv ed by onedaugliter, Mrs. L. J. New mail, of Nordmont. Mrs. Newman took sick the night her mother died and is still very ill. Her constant care for her mother, and unexpected bereavment were more than her physique could undergo. She now suffers from an attack of pneumonia and pleurisy. Her physican is hopeful of her recovery and all her friends and neighbors express their sympathy in prayers anil well wishes. When the stricken family returned from the funeral they only tlid so in time to be eye witness of the death of the devote*l mother, Mrs. Susan Ann Pennington. She became sick the day after her daugh ter's strength failed. The funeral service was held in the Cherry Grove church on Satur day, December H. Rev. Mr. Dunn assisted the pastor by preaching a well prepared sermon. Her earthly remains were then committed to the grave beside those of her daughte. Mrs. Pennington came to David son township when but a little girl. Iter parents were of the first settlers in that section. When married she started house-keeking at Nordmont where she has lived sixty-three years, without once changing her residence. She was the mother of five children and has been a widow for twenty years, and was at her death aged"it years, days. Her two sons, Joseph ('. and Jefferson, went on the battle field in the civil war to fight the battles of their country; the former returned in triumph with his com rades, the latter gave his life for the cause he desired to vindicate. Three of her children survive her, Josep C. of Nordmcnt, Mrs. Corson of (Jlen Mawr, and a married daughter in Nebraska, who was bereaved of her husband two weeks prior to the death of her mother and sister. She has been a member of the M. K. church for sixty years. Her chari table spirit, her strong christian character and her excellent judgment live after her. She was devout,kind and hospitable, a devoted mother and a good neighbor, and her remov al leaves a great void, not only in her bereaved family, but also in the circle of many friends who loved her and revere her memory.
