It can be heard from Dan to Beersheba, and has caused more trouble than all the bedbugs, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, coyotes, grasshoppers, chinchbugs, rattlesnakes, blizzards, smallpox, yel- low fever, gout and indigestion that this great United States has known or will know when the universe shuts up shop and begins the final invoice. In other words, it has got war and hell both backed up in a corner yelling for ice water, says the Lanark (Ill.) Ga- zette. The question has been asked a num- ber of times whether Dr. E. H. Perry performed the vaccination that has caused one of the editor’s children to suffer so much with sore eyes ever since being forced to submit to being vaccinated or being barred out of school. We answer no. Dr. Perry has never been a member of the Salisbury school board, hence has hot had an of- ficial position to use for the purpose of graft, and we know that he wouldn’t disgrace his profession in that way even if he had the opportunity, for we have heard him say that he is opposed to compulsory vaccination.

Mary Adell Gans was born Dee. 27, 1848 near Grand de Tour, Ill, and died at Lanark, 111, Aug. 9, 1905, aged 58 years, 7 months and 12 days. EShe was the eldest daughter of David and Maria Gans. Married at Antioch, Ill. Sept. 17, 1865, to Josiah M. Glotfelty, she came with her husband the following year to Lanark, I11., where she has since made her home. She put on Christ in baptism at the age of about 16 years, and has lived a true Christian life with the bright hope of a resurrection from among the dead. A supreme love for truth and right, as the ruling passion of her life, found practical expression in loyal devotion to her church. Though naturally retiring in her dis- position, an ardent love for the cause led her always to feel a deep interest in temperance reform, and made her an active member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, she be- ing president of the local society at the time of her death. Remaining to mourn an unspeakable Joss, she leaves her husband, two sons, a sister and a host of sorrowing friends. Death of Mrs. Mary Letchworth. The subject of this sketch died in the city of Philadelphia, Saturday, Aug. 12th, 1905, aged 34 years, 2 months and 12 days. Her remains were laid to rest in the I. 0. O. F, cemetery, Salis- bury, Pa., Wednesday, Aug. 16th, fol- lowed by a large number of people who knew and loved her during the years of her residence in this community. At the time of her death the home of the deceased was at New Paris, Bed- ford county, Pa., but she had gone to a Philadelphia hospitél, a short time ago, owing to declining health, and while there underwent a surgical operation which proved fatal. Her malady was found to be tuberculosis of the bowels. Mrs. Letchworth was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Easton, who came to Salisbury from DuBois, Pa., about the year 1880, and passed to the world beyond several years ago. Mary was a very beautiful and esti- mable young woman, and about thir- teen or fourteen years ago she became the happy and devoted wife of Rev. George Letchworth, a native of New Jersey, who married her at Kittanning, Pa. Last year her husband served the Meyersdale and Salisbury charge of the Evangelical Association church, hence he is also well and favorably known to many of our people. He, with five children, ranging in age from about three months to eleven years, are left to mourn her departure. De- ceased is also survived by five brothers and three sisters, namely: Hugh, of Dubois, Pa.; George, of Tennessee; Walter, James and Sidney, of Salis- bury, Pa. ; Mrs. Samuel Gipe, of Johns- town, Pa.; Mrs. George Fogle, of Salis- bury, Pa., and Zella, of DuBois, Pa. Mrs. Letchworth was a noble wife and mother, and she was highly es- teemed by all who knew her. To her bereaved friends we extend our deep- est sympathy, especially to the heart- broken and devoted husband and his motherless little children. The death of a young mother is the saddest of all deaths, for no one else can be so tender and so helpful a friend to innocent, helpless childhood as that most lovable and most holy of all God’s earthly cre- ations—mother. The funeral service was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Fogle, on Grant street, conducted by Rev. W. E. Bassett, of Johnstown, Pa., Rev. W. H. McLaughlin, of Connellsville, Pa., and Rev. W. E. Fredericks, of Meyersdale, Pa. PUBLIC IS AROUSED. The public is aroused to a knowledge of the curative merits of that great medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary H. Walters, of 546 St. Clair Ave., Co- lumbus, O., writes: “For several months, I was given up to die. I had fever and ague, my nerves were wreck- ed ; I could not sleep, and my stomach was so weak from useless doctors’ drugs, that I could noteat. Soon after beginning to take Electric Bitters, I obtained relief, and in a short time I was entirely cured.” Guaranteed at { E. H, Miller’s drug store ; price 50c. 9-1 tention. Marx Wineland, L.A.
