At that time the condition of Mrs. Butler seemed very favorable to ward recovery, but before her par ents had reached Laporte, her death occured. Mr. Gallagher, on Thursday morning returned to the bereaved home, and if possible to bring the remains of his daughter to this place for burial. Mrs. Ihitler was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Gallagher, and was born in this town where nearly all her life was spent. She was about 21 years of age, and was married in December of litOt!. She was of frail constitution, having been a sufferer from asthma from early childhood. Her cheerful disposition, even when suffering severely, was often com mented upon by those who knew her. She was generally beloved, and her seemingly untimely death has cast a sorrow over the commu nity.

The hear fled toward the mountain, hut was cornered in an j orchard and killed. State Kconomic Zoologist Surface j is now forming a new plan for con ducting part of the demonstration work of the division of zoology in ' Pennsylvania. Heretofore the work j has been confined principally to show 1 ing farmers how the Sun Jose scale and other pests can he controlled, although other valuable point* have j been given too. l)r. Surface now proposes to have ! "model orchards" as he terms them ' distributed over the state. In these, the field demonstrators shall work 1 j throughout the year for the purpose ! of showing fruit growers just how an orchard should be kept. The state does not intend to buy the orchard. The owners simply allow the division of zoology to run ( them, getting their reward in the in crease value of the orchard itself The state will furnish the expert men to do the work in the orchards, ; and will also furnish the chemicals j for insecticides, F.very thing else I must be furnished by the owner of tin* orchard. It is the hope l>r. Surface to estab lish about I'o nf these model orclt- j ards about the state an average of: one t<> every three counties. Many applications are already in from owners, who offer their orchards for the work, and Dr. Surface will soon make his selection. The first work j in these model orchards will be start- i ed early in March when trees which ' need pruning will receive attention jSpraving will come later. 1 GENERAL STORE j GD Isaportc Tanner. ® j FULL AND COMPLETE STOCK ALWAYS FOUND HERE.
