Main Street Paving.
The council did right when it granted the petition to have the
south side of Main street paved. The citizens hardly realize that
council is constantly hampered for lack of funds to carry on the
improvements of town which are desired and needed. The means
at hand are not equal to the demands made for the enlargement
and improvement of the city, and whenever council can see its way
clear to do any street paving this should be commended, and while
council has undertaken to pave part of Main street at this time, the
regret is that the way does not seem clear to pave Main street to
Grant street. This is unfortunate. The public school buildings are
a pride of the city and for esthetical, sanitary and economical rea-
sons we express the hope that the time may be near at hand when
the street in front of our public schools may be paved.

For the Municipality.
As the time of the election is drawing nearer the candidates
are dnubtless getting busier. We are sometimes apt to forget the
significance of the local elections, and yet they invariably touch the
individual more closely than the state election. The election of our
municipal officers is of more concern to the citizens of Meyersdale
(Western Newspaper Union, Special
News Service.)
Easton.—Employes of the late Her-
man Simno of this city, who was said
to have been the largest individual
silk manufacturer in the United
States, may receive $3,000,000 under
his will. The value of his estate is
not known, but if it is worth $10,000,-
000, as has been generally believed,
employes will receive large amounts.
The will directs that the beneficiaries
continue the business, each taking
shares in the company in proportion
to the bequest. ;
Scranton.—While singing a Welsh
hymn the translation of which is “T’ll
Obey Thy Will This Moment,” Mrs.
Henry - B. Evans, aged 36 years,
dropped dead during the morning
service at the Tabernacle Welsh con-
gregational church. Heart failure
was the cause of death.
Sharon. — John Fager of Sharon,
who risked his life during the flood
of last March and rescued scores of
families, has been presented with a
purse of approximately $500 by Shar-
on and Farrell residents.
Philadelphia. — Robert Hoehr, aged
15 months, drank a quantity of gaso-
line he found on a table in his home
and died two hours later.
Bradford. — Arthur Smith, a well
known resident of Custer City, is in
stools, which were mistaken for
mushrooms. He is not expected to
survive.

so far have escaped any ill effect.
