Shick and John II. Wagner. The business has increased con siderably since Shick & Wagner took charge ol the store. The management of the business falls to Mr. Wagner, who is an enterprising and wide-awake young man. Shick & Wagner seem to have an excellent system for doing business and everything runs as smooth as could be desired. Mr. Wagner has secured a pleasant and accommodating corps of assistants who seem to take an interest in the business and work harmoniously together. Mr. Wagner speaks very highly of his clerks and gives them a good share of credit for the success of the firm's business. They are as follows: Bookkeeper, Mr. A.J.

Margaret Ellon, daughtor of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Coax, was born In Reynolds vlllo, Feb. 24, 1808, end died of pneu monia, in Allegheny, Feb. 2, 1902. Georgo Kingsloy, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Coax, was born in Reynoldsvllle, Feb. 16, 1000 and died of pneumonia, at Valley Home, Feb. 9, 1902. The charmed family circle has been broken and two of the youngest mem bors, comprising a family of four child ren, have been called away. These two. uiue ones always piayea to-getner ana duilng the short time they were separ ated little Georgia missed his playmate; too young to understand the meaning of death, ho wanted to Ho down beside little Margaret and sloop with her. Only one short week and the two little playmates were indeed sweetly sleeping togother but 'twas the sleep that knows no wakonlng and the dear little ones were laid to rest side by side in the cemetery at DuBols. "Before their heart could leurn In wtiywarrlnpHti to ntniy; Before their feet eoulil turn The dnrk and downwiird way; Ere sin eould wound the hreaxt, Or sorrow wake tlie tear; ' They went to that gweet home of rest, In yon celUHtlal aphore." Air in Gas Mains. It has become such a common cry among consumers of natural gas that the company is pumping air into their mains, when the pressure is low, that some attention should be given the sub ject. And the most peculiar feature of this charge is that men of ordinary common sense and many with a rudi- montary education in chemistry make those charges. If firms supplying natural gas were to pump air into tholr mains thoy would within 24 hours as phyxiate or blow up seven-eights of their consumers and tho subsequent damage suits would ruin such a concern beyond all hopes of recovery.
