having four radiating reflectors to serve
as bumpers to knock the insects down

this simple device the parent ones are
destroyed before they lay the eggs to
produce the worms, and as a result I

A citizen of Loysvllle, writing to the

of caterpillars says: "Caterpillars are
again becoming very numerous. The
plan used here to destroy them is to
take lime and prepare It as common

or saturate it with It and it will bring
the answer every time. It is not in

Adam Showers, a V Cuowb real
dent of this place, died last Wednesday
evening having been stole only from
Monday. Monday morning be was
working in the garden and not feeling
well he walked up town and gradually
grew worse and till evening, his case
was pronounced hopeless. He became
unconscious and from that time to his
last respiration was a- labored effort
until he yielded to the Inevitable sum
mons. v
He was a son of William Showers
and his wife, Mary, and was born Oct
6, 1840, In Beaver township, this coun
ty, aud was one of a family of seven
children, of which there were four sons
and three daughters, as follow-: Mrs,
Rebecca Zeehnian, widow of Henry
Zechman; William, James, Adam, the
deceased; Sarah, Phares and Amanda.
All are dead except the first named.
He was married Oct. 4, 1870 at Free
burg by Rev. C. G. Erlenmyer to Miss
Mary SUiufl'er of Selinsgrove. This
union was blessed with three daugh
ters : Anna, married to William H.
Spangler, druggist of this place; Lottie,
the wife of C. W. (iiaybill, of the
Eagle Hotel, and Maude who resides
at home. There are two grandchildren.
The deceased was aged 5"i years, 7
months and 8 days.
Mr Showers was a cobbler and shoe
maker by trade having acquired the
art from Peter S. Albert of Selinsgrove
and he acquired more tlum usual skill
In his chosen calling. He had many
friends and was at all times more con
siderate for the welfare of others than
ho was of his own. Among his people
he was always highly respected, hav
ing served a number of terms on the
town council and was a member of
that body when he died.
He was laid lo rest Saturday iu the
Middleburg cemetery and his remains
were followed by a large number of
friends and acquaintances, the obse
quies having been conducted by Revs.
Kohler and Dlehl.

Dear Sir: You know your painter;
we don't ; we only know painters In
general. There are two sorts, as there
are two sorts of everybody else. One
paints as well as he can ; the ofber as
poor as he can and get business.
The one who paints as well as ho can
is all the time learning ; the other one
knows it all now.
Josh Billings says "it's better not to
know too much than to know so many
things that a'n't so." There are lots o'
things iu paint that a'n't no." Lead
aud oil is one of 'em.
Devoe lead and zinc huts twice as
long ; is better iu every respect ; is ready
o dip the brush iu ; you can depend on
Ihecolors ; no mystery ; no uncertain
ty ; costs no more ; cosw less.
We hope you employ Mr. Open-Mind
Painter, ami not Mr. Know-it-all-iuw.
Yours Truly.

Scai'diiii'' for Shunter.
Monday morning about 7::!0 o'clock,
II. J. Jarref, the bartender at the Kerry
House, Shamokiu Dam, was sweeping
the fi out porch, when without any
warning, he was shot in the left arm.
The ball bulged in the thick part of
the arm, between the wrist m.d elbow.
He was taken to the hospital where
the bullet was removed by Dr. Drum
heller. The wound Is not at all seri
ous and the patient is doing well.
At first it seemed a mystery where
the shot came from, but later some
miners from Slianiokin were noticed
fishing In the river from a raft opposite
the hotel, and after sonic investigation
it was discovered that one of them had
done the shooting, but with w hat mo
tive could not be found out. These
men were seen later going down, the
road toward Selinsgrove. Chief-of-Police
Waltz was notified nnd began
search for the men.
Up to the present time they have not
been captured.
