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

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.

No Extra Pay for Vets.
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

MARVELS OF MEMORY.
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.—

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

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.

A CONVERTED
ANARCHIST
[Original.]
The man who told me this story is
dead or i could not tell it without al
most surely occasioning his death:
"1 was a poor man, though 1 belonged
to a good family and had been well ed
ucated. 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

The Breton children are pious, super

thorough. The girls are intelligent and
interesting. They are the mainstays of
the family. A child of ten undertakes
to superintend both household work
and the farm. The boys are more or
less stupid, handsome, bronze faced
country urchins. Bee culture seems to
be the favorite occupation of the Bre

Good Advice.
No,* i> <:ne season of the year when
the clipper* may often be used on the
hor-o with the utmost benefit to the
animal aud its owner. 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. Iforses
that are eery rough in coat and many
that aro not particularly hiisute should
be clipped in the spring. Usually the
weather grows warmer at a somewhat
rapid rate and more (specially is this
! true after a frigid winter such as we
i have gone through since November 1,
ior thereby. Evi n if the temperature
. is not actually high for the time ol
- year, indeed if it is only normal, it
1 is relatively very warm, and the pool
■ horse forced to wotk in his rough win
• ter coat suffers much in consequence.

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
v/ish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of iquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists insoc. andsl. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery f-."■ , K r '_ |
