SAND CRUSHED OUT LAD'S LIFE Buried beneath au avalanche of ful ly ten tons of saud for more than fil teeu minutes, Albert Buckler, of Bloomsburg, a lad niiio years of Kg'' met death in a horrible form, while playing with his elder brother ami a number of companions in the old sand hole on West Fourth street, Tuesday evening. It was about half-past six o'clock and not yet dark when the accident occurred. A number of children had been playing for some time about the sand hole and had in their play dug a small cave at the base of the wall of sand, which ro-e vertically lor almost tweuty feet. This small cavern which was just about large enough at the opening to admit a man's body extended back in to the wall nut more than three feet. None of the children had ventured to enter the opening but finally littlo Albert Buckler attempted to crawl in to it. His older brother, James Buck ler, aged eleven years, eudeavored to persuade him nut to enter the cave but the younger brother never lealiz ing his great peril entered the cavern feet first and lay there on his back, only his head and shoulder protruding from the opening. Fearing that the heavy wall of sand would fall, James,on the outside,kept hold of one of li s brother's hands. "Let go, it's Lice 111 hole," and Al bert tried to free his hand from his brother's grasp. "Come out right away, the sand might fall," James said as he at tempted to pnll the boy out of the hole when suddenly the lad in the cave kicked up against the roof and without warning, an enormous mass of sand broke loose from above and rushing down completely engulfed the one boy in the cave and covered Jauies' extended arm to the shoulder. When the sand broke loose Albeit realizing for the first his jeopardous position called to his brother to pull him out, struggled to get free of the falling gaud and fighting it with his arms turned over upon his stomach. After beiug almost covered by the sand James was compelled to relin quish his hold upon his brother's hand in order to save himself and as soon as the sand ceased falling he began to vainly dig with his bauds to free his brother. The other childreu being frightened,ran away.excepting Luther Shoemaker, who spread the alarm. Within a few minutes a number of men, procuring shovels, came and be gan working frenz.ily to uucover the imprisoned boy. But almost as last as they shovelled away the sand, more fell and the boy could not be found. Finally after great labor he was un covered. Lying 011 his face with the sand tightly packed about his body it was thought that he was still liviug but when he was drawn from the mass it was found that fie was dead. The body was carried into the home of Mrs. Robert Unsou where an ex amination was made by Dr. 11. Bier man, who had been summoned shortly after the accident occurred. Death was due to suffocation. The Buckler family resided in Dan ville 011 East Market street about two years removing from this place to Philadelphia. There is more Catarrh in this section of th ountry than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be ncurable. .For a great manyyears doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed ocal remedies, and by constant ly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .1. Cheney IS4 Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from in drops to a teaspoonf 111. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

Hall's Family Pills are the be* Farmer's Bad Fall. T. M. Wintersteen, tax receiver of West Hemlock township, met with a bad fall in this city on Saturday fore noon. Carrying a couple of large ves sels he was crossing Mill street from Foster Bros, to D. R. Eckman's and was in the act of stepping up onto the pavement when his foot caught upon the curb and lie fell violently upon the hard flagstones. He was stunned by the fall and un able to rise. Officer Voris who was near ran to his assistance auil soon had him upon his feet. In a short time fie seemed to recover, escaping broken bones. He sustained a couple of had bruises, however, and may feel the effects of the jar for some time. A Glass of Twenty Confirmed. Palm Sunday services were field at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Gro vauia, at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morn ing. Communion was administered and a class of twenty was confirmed. In this number were eight adults receiv ed by confession of faith, five of whom received adult baptism. There were also five infant baptisms. An appropriate sermon was preach ed by the pasto-, Rev. W. E. Wenuer, who took as his text Revelations a-ll: "Be Thon Faithful Unto Death and I will Give You a Crown of Life." A largo congregation was present. Snow Sheds. The railroads passing through moun tainous regions where deep stio v falls in the winter are building powerful snow sheds that will stand the lieav iest storms. The locomotives are hav ing deflectors attached to their smoke stacks which will throw the sparks to the sides instead of straight up against the roofs of these deflectors which are so hung that- they can be thrown to oue side of the stacks when the en gines are not in th" sheds. These cherts will also guaril against the frequent avalanches containing rocks and trees, against which the snow plow is un less. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TROUT The trout seasou in this state will open 011 Friday, April 15, and con tinue until July 31. Already many followers of Izaak Walton are getting their rods, reels, etc.,in condition for a good seasou of angling. The style of rod, as well as the seasou of bait, must be takeu into consideration. A fisherman in conversation with a re porter said : "The report that there would bo a scarcity of trout in the various streams owing to the cold weather, is all non sense. When severe cold weather sets 111 trout huut the mouth of the stream or the springs where they spawn, especially about the beginning of Jan uary. So far as I know very few trout are killed by the ice, because they get out of harm's way. I believe there will be plenty of brook trout this year. "Fish that almost surely go iuto re tirement during winter are the little fish of the brooks of the chub genus, which in late May or June are the familiar bane of the fisher when he whips the tront streams. These com mon inhabitants of the brooks more closely studied reveal to the augleriu teresting habits. Most abundant in August, they begin to disappear with rhe first frosts of September. October shows a few thin schools, which in November pass from sight. If in w in ter wo goto one of the larger pools of the brook, clear away the ice, and in dustriously prod under rocks or in the muddy sand, we shall dislodge a tew sluggish chubs,evidently hibernating. "One by one they begin to appear ir mid-April, multiplying as the water warms. In summer, unlike the trout and suckers, which seek the spring like holes, we shall find the chub in the still shallows, where they can bask in the sun—a habit curiously at vari ance with their quick death when the sun warms tiie water in the bait pail.

The Spanish War veterans in town will not profit by the bill passed by ■ Congress,giving two months extra pay 1 to all the soldiers whose term expire in the Phi 11 ipines. The bill applies 1 only to the future. The Spanish War veterans through- I out the state had asked for the two > months' extra pay given those whose terms expired in the Phillipiues.but it ' was refused them on the ground that : they had practically been given that " much, having been out of active ser vice that long before their terms ex t pired, during which time they drew their regular pay. i Repairing the Damage. > Ever since the receut flood the tele graphic force of the D. L. & W. rail ■ road company have been busily engag ed getting tho lines back into their normal condition. As the efficient and prompt service depended upon a speedy completion of the work a large number of men have been employed J upon it, and have finished only the - lines between Bloomsburg and Dan - ville while the work at the upper eud, ' in the vicinity of Kanticoke lemains 1 to be done. Between Catawis&a and Danville about a mile of poles and - wires were carried away and at Nan ) ticoke it will require a mile of wire > aud poles to repair the damage. Rudy--Hendrickson. 1 r Miss Stella Hendricksou and Edward 1 Rudy were united in the holy bonds J of wedlock last night. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. George E.

Fc a(a of Kkiiioom Men That Seem \1 - monf He>ond llelief. Some examples of the marvels of memory would seem entirely incredible j had tliey not been given to us upon the highest authority. Cyrus knew the name of each soldier iu his army. It is also related of Themlstocles that he I could tell by name every citizen of • Athens, although the number amount ; ed to 20,000. Mlthridates, king of Pon ; tus, knew all his 80,000 soldiers by their right names. Scipio knew all the inhabitants of j Rome. Seneca complained of old age because he could not, as formerly, re ! peat 2,000 names in the order in which they were read to him, and he stated that on one occasion, when at his studies, 200 unconnected verses "having been recited by the different pupils of his preceptor, he repeated them In a reverse order, proceeding from the last to the flrst. Thomas Cranmer committed to mem ory in three months an entire transla tion of the Bible. Euler, the mathema tician, could repeat the ".Eneid," and Leibnitz, when an old man. could re cite the whole of Virgil, word for word. It is said that Bossuet could repeat not only the whole Bible, but all of Homer, Virgil and Horace, besides many other works. THE SCIENCE OF A LIGHT. Cbriii Acftylfur Was I)tiico\er rd by an AcclilriU. Cheap commercial acetylene gas was discovered by accident. Willson, a sci entific experimenter, believed that near ly all metallic oxides could be reduced to a metallic state by beating them to an extremely high temperature by the voltaic arc in the presence of free car bon. Aluminium had been successfully reduced in this way. Mr. Willson wished to obtain metallic calcium. He therefore mixed a quantity of quick lime with pulverized coke and brought the mixture to a high temperature by the action of the voltaic arc. He ex pected to obtain a white metal, but in stead he appeared to produce nothing but slag. This was thrown Into the yard, and one day at noon while the boys were having their luncheon they picked up these bits of slag and threw them at each other. One piece fell into a pall of water and produced a bub bling effect aud a strong odor. This at tracted Mr. Willson's attention, and upon investigation he found that the strong smelling gas was extremely in flammable. Further investigation re vealed that it was pure acetylene gas.— Sir Hiram Maxim in Uaroer's Weekly. THE GYPSIES. Their Tribe* Existed In Europe From I mi-in or la 1 Time*. Gypsies were found In England about ir»l4, according to "A Ilyalogue of Sir Thomas More" (152b), but the exact year of their arrival Is unknown. They were present In Scotland in 1505, and possibly they were the "Saracens" i whose depredations in that country • prior to 14*50 are on record. Batalllard and other authors believe that gypsies existed in Europe from Immemorial times, for they find no ac count of their crossing the Bosporus, and no record is known to exist of their ' passage to England or Scotland. They were better received in these i countries than in any other, but so . early as 1531 an act was passed re quiring the Egyptians to quit the realm under pain of death, a similar edict being Issued in Scotland in 1541 and at varying periods in most of the ' European states. Transportation across the seas was ! among the milder means adopted and i probably was the cause of much fur ther dispersion of the tribes. Under ( Henry VIII. gypsies were shipped from I England to Norway or l'ranee, and from France, so recently as I*o2, they were deported to Africa. The Hero. He was a thoughtful citizen and kindly withal. The building u|>on which his eyes were fastened was in flames. From a third story window protrud ed a head. It was a disheveled head bearing a child's golden curls. I At home a little golden haired girl was awaiting him. What if that were his own? I The impulse to tear his «*oat from his I manly form and rush up the ladder to ( seize the child and bear her to safety was strong upon him. How strong nobody but himself knew. ' For another feeling had come over ' him. • He thought: "Suppose 1 should rush up to that window and save that child. The papers would be full of it.l should become a hero. Some tireman would thus be cheated out of his Just meed of praise. Whatever I am I am not selfish and greedy. Let the other man have the glory. I shall sacrifice my personal interests and remain a bumble citizen." 5 Saying which wise and courageous things within himself, he stood with out moving a muscle while a large and j brawny fireman carried the little girl t down a ladder and placed her in the arms of her frantic mother.

At college 1 imbibed revolu tionary, not to say communistic, doc trines which influenced me, but not se riously, until on coining out of the uni versity 1 lost my lather and the assist ance lie had gi\ n me; then, facing the world with no means. I was drawn to embrace anarchism. There was no ex cuse for me. 1 was young, and the world was before me. 1 was one of the impractical, theorizing kind who prefer trying to revolutionize natural laws rather than work. Added to this, I had the faculty of inspiring others. I joined a band of anarchists and be came a leader among them. "My mother had a brother of whom I had never heard. lie was considered the black sheep of the family and was never spoken of to me, the only child of his only sister, lie had run away as a boy and had broken his mother's heart by never writing a line. Up to the time I became an anarchist be had never been heard from. Judge of my surprise one day to learn through so licitors that this uncle had died in South America and left a fortune of $850,01 X) to me. "llow quickly my theories of the world's wrongs vanished! I did not dare to break my connection with an archists, but gradually ceased to attend meetings. < )ne day 1 was horrified at receiving an order to assassinate one of the crowned heads of Europe. I knew well that should 1 refuse I would be myself assassinated. One advan tage 1 would have in disobeying the order—l was rich and could isolate my self from any one who might attempt to kill me. I turned my fortune into gold and disappeared. A few weeks later 1 turned up in one of the south ern states. My hair, which had been a light brown, was black. My beard, which had been but a few tufts, was now luxuriant. My name was changed. Indeed, as little of my old self re mained as I could help. I bought a small plantation and pretended I>> raise cotton. In its center was my house, and no one could reach me without passing a number of my employees, whose duty it was to keep off an en emy. "I lived for several years without hearing from my old associates, but this only assunnl me that at the out set I hail eluded th'-m. I knew that I had been condemned and some one had been appointed to kill me. The only question was. Would inv executioner tire of the work or tie withdrawn for lack of funds or otl «r causes? "One day I notice ! that a new candy store had been opened in the village. 1 went inside and lo iked over the stock. It was very meager, and I bought noth ing. A young woman who stood be hind the counter ! >okcd disappointed and asked i ,e to give an order for any thing 1 liked and sh > would execute it. I am fond of ch.-.-i ■ Ifite and told her to make me some clioi 'late creams. She promised to hav.- them ready the next day and send tli.ni to me. Instead of sending she brought them. When she was announced I told my guards to admit her. She was a very attractive looking person, and I did not desire to keep her away. She asked me to try her chocolates and tell her wherein they did not please me. 1 ate a few of them and pronounced them excellent. That seemed to satisfy her, and she left at once, though I would have been glad to have her remain longer. "Ina week I went by the candy shop, stopped and gave her an order for some more chocolates. She told me that she knew of a new kind that she was sure 1 bad never eaten. I gave her an or der for some of them, telling her that I would not put her to the trouble of sending them, but would call for them. I did so, but they w re not ready. I called again, but still they had not been made. The woman told me that cer tain ingredients were required, for which she had been obliged to send to the city. She would bring them when they were ready. "Meanwhile I never relaxed my vigi lance in keeping any suspicious per son from my house, and both there and when I went out 1 was secretly armed 'to the teeth.' "One day the candy woman was an nounced, and I ordered her to be ad mitted. She handed me the box of chocolates, and while I tried tlicui she amused herself with an Italian grey hound I had always with me. The dog was lying on a rug at the other end of the room, and she went over to him and patted liim. Oil opening the box I found the chocolates in layers of four large, flat squares. 1 ate two and found them delicious. The third I threw to the dog, who caught it in his teeth and swallowed it.l noticed that the woman turned pale. I was about to eat the fourth when I saw the dog looking at it longingly. I tossed it to him. As I did so the woman gave a shriek. The dog caught it, as before. There was an explosion, and tils head was spattered over the room. "The secret was out. The woman fi.rj been commissioned to murder me! She was knocked senseless by the explosion. I was unhurt." An arrangement was made between the ex-anarchist and the woman. She wrote that she had killed her man. A coffin full of stones was buried, and the man was never again seen on his plantation. Then a notice was pub lished of the woman's death—caused by wounds - which she managed to have reach an anarchist circle. The two lived together as man and wife till the husband's death a few years ago. ALVA Wrath. "I don't believe you love me any more," pouted she. "I couldn't," replied he.

Perhaps there is no other season at which they may bo resorted to with such great benefit. The horse which has had to live in a cold stable all winter has ot necessity i grown for protection a long rough i coat of hair. The longer aud rougher the coat,and the less the care that has been bestowed on it in the way of grooming, the harder it will he for the animal to sl.ed if aud the greater will be the consequent drain on bis system during that nere*saiy process Let, however, the sharp clippers he brought tc his aid and the situation is cliaugt-d as if bv magic, provided ti .at the owner or caretaker has seuse enough to see to it that the animal is not exposed to conditions which will cause him to take cold or contract some more serious disease.
