thereto. All of onr readers are
desirous of obtaining his or her

This can only he done by keeping
pace with this progressive ago.
One's own individual efforts will
not suffice. What is needed is co
operation. You should keep posted
on all things that you may need to
buy. It is a well established fact
that the consumer (those who buy
at retail) are paying in these United
States from one to twenty-five per
cent, more than is necessary, simply
from the fact that they do not keep
posted on current prices. How
long could a merchant avoid failure
were he to use such lax methods in
making his purchases ? One would
quickly say such a dealer was a
failure from the beginning, then
why do you use this method in a
small way ? It would cost you but
the request to keep pace with the
times in the way of prions on all
staple articles you are apt to use.
All that is needed is to notify

Burglarized.

Robbed of 1)00 In Money and Ilia

From the Union we learn that on
Sunday night Doc. 29 burglars ef
fected an entrance to the summer
boarding house known as Walnut
Villa, in Port Jervis.situutod at the
junction of Culvort street and King
ston avenue, by forcing oien a win
dow. The roblxrs secured over $11000
in money and valuables. All the
inmates had retired except Mrs.
Wieman who had remainod up to
attend to a fire in a stove, and was
reclining on a sofa when she saw
the shadow of a man in the room.
She was seized by the roblx-r, choked
and a cloth sirturated with chloro
form applied to her face before she
had opportunity to give an alarm.
The thieves then made a hasty but
careful search through her bedroom
breaking open a trunk, opening
bureau drawers, etc., and after Se
curing their booty escaped without
arousing the other occupants of the
house.
The police made an investigation
hut Without developing any satis
factory result.
Why will people having such easy
access to banks, put a premium on
burglary by keeping large sums of
money in their possession.

men, named Shick and Follweiler,
who lutd left that village for a shoot
ing trip.roturned with the announce
ment that they had discovered a
skeloton near the Wilkes-Barre &
Eastern Railroad. A theory of mur
der was at on 3e suggested, but the
physician's examination proved that
the skull was not fractured, ns was
at first thought. It is probably a
suicide, as a party searching near
the place whore the remains were
discovered, found a ml handkerchief
tied to the limb of a tree. The arti
cle had been so arranged as to form
a noose. The skeleton had been
there probably for several years.

Aa to Crimping.
The majority of women make a
great mistake in crimping their hair,
For some reason or other an over
hanging cloud of curls or frizzes has
a way of bringing out all the little
lines and defects that nature or time
have stuuipod in a woman's fuce
This is quite contrary to the old
time notion. Then it was taken for
granted that the tighter the curls
the prettier and more becoming to
the woman. But modern taste de
crees differently. " If you want to
look young and natural rather than
faded and artificial, " said a woman
the other day, " stop crimping your
b. tir. I know of no surer way to
bring about the effect at least. Just
call to mind the well, not the elderly,
hut no longer youthful women that
you know, and think how ugly, in
artistic and artificial they look with
that mass of frizzes over their faces.
And how soft, natural and becoming
straight hair is to any woman at
any age or state of health. Not ne
cessarily tightly drawn, streaked
black hair ; it may be loose and
puffy, if you choose, and always, of
course, arranged with an eye to
artistic and individual effect, but
uncrimped.uncurledand unfrized."

COUNTY, TA., FRIDAY, JANUARY
OBITUARY.
ALFRED B. OdllES.
Alfred B. Ogden, a man well-
known in the northern jiart of this
county, died in New York city, Dee.
25 last, after a short and pninf ul A
nesa. He was one of the "founders
of the Forest Lake Association of
Lacka waxen township, and who in
connection with a fellow member,
Mr. John Davidson, erected a un
ique double cottage on its grounds,
sided np with blue stone scraps, in
such manner as to present the ap
pearance of a solid stone structure.
It is the only one of the kind that
the writer has ever knowii to be
built. Mr. Ogden was born about
62 years ago in Yates county, N. Y.,
was an engineer and architect by
profession.
In his early manhood he joined
his cousin, General C. L. Kilburn
of the U. S. Army who was a class
mate of General Grant at West Point,
in Florida as an attache, while he
was closing up the Seminole war
and making some government sur
veys. When the war of the relel-
lion broke out ho entered the com
missary service under General Kil
burn, and remained there until its
close. After this ho joined a corps
of engineers and went to Missouri
and surveyed and built sections of
railroads, on the completion of
which he returned to New York city
and commenced business as an archi
tect and builder. As an architect he
soon became prominent and popular.
He planned oikj or two leading Hos
pital buildings and many large apart
ment houses there and also the large
abattoir on 45th street and East
river. '
Personally Mr. Odgen was an in
teresting and charming companion,
an upright and honorable man in
all his dealings As a sportsmon he
was enthusiastic, one of the old
school. He was well informed on
the habits of fish, wild animals and
birds, and when he went for them
with rod or gun he alwa ys returned
with trophies of his skill. His death
will be much lamented by his as
sociates in the club and all his other
numerous friends.
He loaves a widow and five child
ren (two of whom are adopted) to
mourn his loss. The oldest son 8.
B. Ogden was his partner in busi
ness and now becomes his successor.

The Only Succeaaful Way.
With the beginning of the year
more than one country publisher
will adopt the " no-pay-no-iaper "
oolicv toward his subscribers. This
is the only successful way of eon
ducting a newsjiaper ; and if it bo
supplemented by issuing a large
sheet filled with a wide variety of
reading matter the publisher will
eventually gain two subscrilx'rs for
every one he is compelled to cross
off his books.
