THE VALUE OF
A GRANGE
A subordinate grange is the most
practical and the most natural means
of promoting all the interests of a
rural community ever couceived in the
history of the world, for the follow
ing reasons:
I. it contributes to the social life
by frequent regular meetings in which
the art of sociability is so agreeably
and informally taught as to fascinate
rather than repel those participating
in the exercises.
9. It contributes to the high moral
standard by affording convenient and
agreeable society for old and young in
which the highest standard of morality
Is maintained, thereby preventing as
sociation of its members in society ot
the opposite nature.
8 It contributes to the happiness of
home by the mental recreation afforded
all members of the family in the var
ious Grange gatherings atteuded, there
by broadening their mental vision aud
increasing their happiness, which is
sure to be reflected in their home life.
4. It contributes to the material
prosperity by its discussion of all mat
ters of importance tending to local de
velopment, and often is instrumental
in securing the establishment of in
dustries that give added population as
well as taxable property, thereby in
directly aiding every taxpayer in
town.
6. It contributes to the general in
telligence of the inhabitants by its
frequent discussion of questions of a
public nature aud by the educating in
fluences of other exercises, resulting
in mental development and a more in
telligent citizenship, which is an up
lifting force in any town.
<5. It contributes to the general wel
fare by dissipating neighborhood quar
rels, by breaking up long standing
feuds caused by church, school, or
society troubles, by promoting better
roads, better schools, and better farm
ing, by stimulating more interest in
public affairs, resulting in the elec
tion of better men to office and better
enforcement of law as well as the bet
ter transaction of the public business
of towns, counties aud states.
7. A subordinate Grange contrib
utes in many ways to the upbuild
ing of a roral community by making
it a more desirable place to live and
making its citizens more intelligent,
more prosperous, and more happy.

Every hour adds to tbe aw ful loss of
Hfe and other horrors attendant upon
Monday's awful storm at Heppuer,
Ore., when a wall of water 20 feet
high swept down upon the little town.
Tbe storm illustrates the powerful in
fluence of hills in quickly arresting a
summer whirlwind, so that the raiu
accumulated iu its dense, high clouds
is suddenly precipitated in vast quanti
ties Heppner lies about thirty miles
from a range of hills over which Sun
day evening's storm was apparently
passing when tbe mighty masses of
water descended upou its slopes and
rushed down tbe bed of a little creek
upon the unsuspecting town
In selecting the sites of many of the
west and Northwestern towns the na
tural tendency has been to build on the
low lands because of a close proximity
to the rivers aud creeks for many con
venient purposes, water handy, for
drainage purposes and possibly as a
needy means of travel Streets are
easier laid out and walking is better.
But the disadvantages come at flood
time and these disadvantages grow as
time rolls on because of the destruc
tion of the forests.
The snuffing out so many hundreds
of lives is an awful calamity and much
distress and suffering will he entailed,
but uot so much as that caused by one
of tbe periodic mine disasters in East
*ru Pennsylvania In the latter case
it is the bread winners who are killed
leaving hundreds of dependant behind
but iu the Heppner calamity whole
families were drowned out and few
left behiud. Tl le Northwest will lie
able to meet the trouble and render all
oecessaiy aid and comfort and if not
tbe generous east will readily respond
wheu called upou.

INTO AN
UNKNOWN S GRAVE
The stranger who committed suicide
ill this place on Friday morning by
cutting her throat was not Mrs. F. L.
Fagin, of Athens, 0., as some suppos
ed.
A telegram was received late Satur
day afternoon from that missing wo
man's husband that read substantially
as follows:
" Please send description and il if
tallies with the following description,
1 will come at once. The woman 1 am
looking for had small pox mark on
nose, short thick hands, short thick
ankles, wears No. 7 shoes, has gray
streaked hair. Did she have a satchel
with picture of little boy in it?"
This description, of course, did not
tally in any way with the appearance
of the dead woman here and addition :
al messages received yesterday only
served to confirm the fact that, who
ever she might be, the Gettysburg
suicide was certaiuly not Mrs. Fagin.
And so that theory is definitely dis
posed of.
The trained nurse theory which con
nects the woman with the stranger
who has been traveling the state im
posing upon clergymen and doctors,
and whose description so far as it has
been obtainable here seems to agree
with that of the suicide, is now being
investigated and will be established or
disproved within a day or two.
At 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon the !
remains of the unknown were quietly
interred in the Catholic Cemetery,the
services at the grave consisting of a
simple prayer by Rev. T. J. Crotty.
The funeral cortege from the church
to the burial ground included but the
hearse and a single cab. There were
few witnesses of the interment outside
of Father Crotty,Undertaker Garlach,
and the four pall-bearers, J. Harry
Holtzworth, Fred Thorn, J. Frank
Wisotzkey and Edward Crotty. The
dead woman could not possibly have
wished for a more peaceful funeral,
oue more free from curious eyes and
comment. And so she was buried, still
unknown, as she desired.—Gettysburg

Lightning Oauaes Destruction.
MILTON, Pa., June 17.—Fire caus
ed by lightning entirely destroyed the
large barn on the Heinen's farm about
a mile and a quarter northeast of this
place Tuesday afternoon about 3 ::$o
o'clock together with all the contents
including 25 head of cows and a large
quantity of grain.
The farm is occupied by Bert Hill.
At the approach of the storm Mr. Hill
and the farm hands drove the cattle
into the barn from the pasture fields.
The structure had three large cupolas
or air-chambers on top and the light
ning struck the brass weather vane on
the middle oue and passed down into
the building, setting tire to the upper
story.
During a heavy thunder storm at
Tuesday afternoon a bolt ol
liglitdiug struck the high spire of the
First Presbyterian church at Watson
town. It was completely shattered
and ruined. The damage, which is
considerable, is covered by insurance.
The spire will be rebuilt at once.

The grounds of many of the homes

now that roses are in bloom. Now

From oue end to the other the long
row with its rich clusters of bright
red roses forms a mass of scarlet, rend
ered all the more beautiful by the del
icate green of the bushes which peeps
out between the flowers.

law prevails here while the work ot
rescuing the bodies continues. One
hundred and fifty have been buried,
aud more are being found, although it

ed, and provisions are arriving from
all towns. The second special train,
with provisions aboard, aud seven
thousand dollars in cash raised at
Portland, has reached Lexington, the

Five seasons of business—the fall,
the after-holiday, the dull cold, the
spring, the dull hot season. There are
business men with antiquated ideas,
running business by the water which
has passed. They do not cut expenses
with a lancet. They practice economy
with a broad ax, and a dull one too.
When business is brisk, when goods
almost sell themselves, they appear
progressive. When business is dull
they fold their hands,thumbs in, seize
a hatchet,cut and slash everybody and
everything, stuke in the dark, hit the
wrong thing every time, cut down ad
vertising. There are business men of
success, because they have made suc
cess, retaining the old-fashioned opin
ion that it does not pay to advertise
when trade is dull or stagnant. It the
merchant pushes for trade during the
so-called dull season he will find com
ing to his store hundreds of the neglig
ent buyers' who have been waiting for
him, or some one, to supply the miss
ing link in their memory, suggesting
the necessity which they did not re
alize The dull season is as important
as the flush season. This principle is
a business axiom, recognized by all
except the unthinking,stubborn-head
ed man of business, who couuts not,
for he is either going out of business
or doing too small a business to bear
weight for or against argument of
business.
Severe Storm at Lewisburg.
LEWISBURG, June 17.—A severe
rain, hail and wind stoim visited this
section yesterday afternoon, lasting
about twenty minutes. The storm was
most severe in East Lewisburg, where
hail fell so thickly that it could be
shoveled up. So heavy was the rain
fall that the streets became miniature
streams. Considerable damage was
done.
A large willow tree in front of the
residence of Henrietta Sluiner, on
North Second street,was blown down,
stopping traffic for several hours.

GEARHARDT WILL
NOT HANG
Lattt Wednesday afternoon word was
received from the Clerk of the Board
of Pardons in session at llarrisburg
that in the ease of wife murderer Jacob
Gearhardt the Hoard had reached a
final decision recommending the com
mutation of the death sentence to life
imprisonment.
At the last session of the Board of
Pardons Gearhardt received a tele
gram from his attorney James Scarlet
that the Board would recommend the
commutation of his sentence hut when
the report of the Board was made
known it was found that the case had
heen held under advisement. This ac
tion awakened considerable interest in
the case concerning the final decision
of the Board.
Witliiu the next few days Sheriff
Deitrick will receive the proper pap
ers and Gearhardt will he taken to the
Eastern Penitentiary to serve the re
mainder of his days.—Sun tut ry Item.
Equaled by Few.
In a corner of the Philadelphia Press j
there appeared the following:
"It is certainly a 'handsome city,' j
'one of the most beautiful in the. State i
as a place of residence.' The people ;
are hospitable and highly intelligent
and patriotic. It the many respectable j
emigrants who are daily coming to !
our shores would settle there and in j
other cities like it,instead of stopping
in the overcrowded cities of the first j
class, the future of these strangers ,
would be much more promising and i
it would be better for the whole count
ry. Accommodations of all kinds are :
the very best in Wiliamsport and for
orderliness and moral tone it is not
surpassed by any and equaled by few "
Kveiybody connected with the Lum
ber city is following out the policy of
advertising, not part of the time, but
all the time. The success so achieved by
a systematic and persistent effort
might well commend itself to our

Musician Lcses His Cornet.
The Chief-of-Police is in receipt of
a letter from one of the musicians
with Robinson's show who would like
to have information concerning a cor
net which was lost in this city last

JOHN F. KING
Immediately after missing the in
strument while yet in Danville the
musician made his loss known to Offic
er Yoris who made a canvass of the
stores on Mill street, hut was unable
to gain any information concerning
the cornet. Should anyone have the
instrument the publication of this let
ter will assist them to find the owner.
The instrument should he delivered to
the Chief-of-Folice.

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS
f'OHl «>f vfaulliiH I'Hrui i'rodact* Over
Country liiitkHor*'
The advocates of good muds will nu<J
pleutT of arguments in the recent re
port of the industrial commission on
the marketing and distribution of farm
ing products. This report shows the
value of good country rouils and the
Immense saving that could be effected
through them. It also furnishes argu
ments In favor of the construction of
electric lines through the farming sec
tions of the country not only for the
hauling of passengers, but for the haul
ing of freight.
The report shows that the cost of
hauling farm products over country
roads Is tOO.Wiu a year, or more
than the entire cost of operating all the
railways in the I'nited States, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. The
total operating expenses of railroads is
estimated at only annual
ly. The average haul to the nearest
shipping station in the trans(>ortntion
of farm products is twelve udles. and
the average i-ost is rents a ton a
mile, or $:» a ton for the twelve miles.
By comparing this ton mile <-ost svlth
the average ton mile revenue of the
railroads in the country, which amounts
to 7 mills a mile, the immense oppor
tunity for saving that would !«■ effect
ed through good roads may readily be
seen. If farm products could be hauled
to market at 7 mills a ton mile, as is ;
the case with railway traffic, the en j
tire charge for tran»i«>rtatlon would be
less than «s compared with
the S!SKMK*»,no»t it costs the farmers to j
haul their products over ordinary road*
The building of good roads and the
construction of electric line* will mean
an enormous saving to the farming
classes. Some of the advocates of good
roads believe that the two could be
constructed jointly, as the cost would
l>e proportionately less for the building
of good wagon roads, which could also
be used for electric railways. These
electric railways could be constructed
through those sections of the farming
community which would offer the best
possibilities in the way of freight and
iwi.ssenger traffic returns, and wagon
roads could be built connecting these
with all sections of the country. The
farmer who did not live on the direet
line of an electric railway could haul
his freight to the nearest point, where
it could be quickly transferred to an
train.
Women na Jewelers.
Time was, not so very far back either,
when the woman of artistic talents who
sought to earn her own living found i>«
outlook Iteyond selling an occasional
picture or giving lessons in painting.
Now the artistic sphere for women has
widened to include >o many depart
incuts that tle-re Is almost an embar
rassment of riches from which to mak«
a choice.
One of the latest to lie taken up by
women Is the designing of artistic jew
elry. In England particularly woun-n
have been meeting with much success
in this line, and there seems to no
reason why it should not Lc more wide
ly S.t.. i up. It is a craft to which a
womanlight and dainty manipulation
Is pat tie.ilarly adapted. <'ertainly tits
