It is wise and will redound to their credit and In thus oon serving the best public Interest In selecting a site suitable as to size outlook, surroundings, contral, and ns the school law suggests, large enough to afford play ground, and secure good light and air, central healthful nod on a good traveled road ; they have done a worthy aot and one for which they will bo kind ly remembered. Tub Prkss has ar dently urged the Harford street lots from the beginning as being in every way the most desirable and it now congratulates all who were helpful in bringing about a consummation bo devoutly hoped for. Now, witn the building contemplated, Milford will have a monument to her prog ress and enterprise, and something educational to which her citizens may point with pride.

It is gratifying to have been assnr ed by several who wore at the Hun day School Association hist Friday that they enjoyed a pleosnnt and profitable day. Tho entertainment which we received on tno part of the Dingmaii people deserves the highest commendation and praise. Everything was done to assure us of their welcome and we most sincerely trust that they may have received some ber.oflt which will repay their kindness.

Once more has the dark angel of death entered the circle of our number and a beloved and faithful wife, mother and friend has been taken to her reward. Mrs Brown had been failing vory rapidly for the past week or more. She seemed o realize that the end was rapidly ap proaching but never a murmur or complaint esoaped her lips. She was ready and could afford to wait patiently God's chosen time. She was mercifully spared any great suffering and now rests peacefully from all labors and cares. Tho fam ily ministered every comfort to her in these last days and now no regret can be entertained by them. God surely hath given them a good, kind, true mother and now that in one sense she hath been taken our prayer is that their hearts may be oom fort ed by Him who oomforteth us in all our aftl ctions and who offers Him self to our faith us a loving Heavenly Father.

An Interesting game of ball was played on the normal grounds May i between tlie second team and a team from Portland, while the first nine played at Bungor, Prof. Kiiinenian and Prof. Sandt took an outing ou Saturday. John Uonry has returned to school Among the visitors at the normal we noticed Mrs. John Houck, Mrs, Emery Gilpin, Harry Hobbs, Reuben Boosocker and Friend Waltz. The press dispatch totheefTeet that three hundred Chinese laundry men in Unite, Montana, have struck for t a day wages will hardly commend itself to the agitators who are crying against cheap Chinese labor. The Kansas City Journal tells us that while tho Missouri courts punished the beef trust by imposing fines on the packing firms composing it, the packers are now punishing the people by compelling them to pay prices that will soon cover the lines several times over. ECMSDOFI Scott's Emulsion is the means of life and of the en joyment of life of thousands of men, women and children. To the men Scott's Emul sion gives the flesh and strength so necessary for the cure of consumption and the repairing of body losses from any wasting disease. Eor women Scott's Emul sion does this and more. It is a most sustaining food and tonic for the special trials that women have to bear. To children Scott's Emul sion gives food and strength for growth of flesh and bone ami blood. For pale girls, for thin and sickly boys Scott's Eiiiulsiuii is a great help. Stindfor fr8namula.

ULMIMAN'S rKKRY. 'The miscreants who fired the stote of G. U. Van Auken tapped a barrel of Kerosene lying in the yard and used a largo part of the contents to saturate the building. 'Tho powder house ond gasolene tank were Sep orate from the storo mid the con tents were safely removed. A small can of powder kept in the store exploded, and the concussion knock ed down several bystanders and broke windows near by. Mumps are disappoorlng. llonso flesh -for sale is scarce In this neighborhood. The many friends here of Joseph A. Buckley were delighted to hear of his success and that ho is so pleas antly situated. A large quantity of good gravel has heon put on our roads this spring and the next move should he to straighton and enlurgo tho gutters so as to keop it there. G. B. Van Auken intends to re build his storo and will have it fully insured so as to remove the incentive from- thoso who wish to injure by buring him out. Guests nt Silver Lake intend to bring up at least three automobiles this summer. John Drake has secured a situa tion as truck driver in Now York at 18 a month and board, the same price farmers pay. Seems to us that considering tho work, bad water and nir and o ity expenses it is n poor change. A. S. Dingman has fitted up n regular stage wagon, probably none better in the township for strength and boiuty. Arthur Brown was tho mechanic John E. Crone has the foundations ready for a rcsidonco for himself. DOWN Tllli COl'STY. The schools in Delaware aud Loh- man ore closing. Dan Smith is doing excellent work on the Centre district roads. There was a good editorial in the Stroudshnrg Times last weak in which slanderers were handled without gloves. What we need is a good rain and a continuous ppell of warm weather. Philadelphia families expeot to have two more summer residences built at Silver Lxko eajly this sum mer. Andrew A. and John Albright are to do the carpenter work, we are told. It is with sorrow we learn that Philip B. Clark, Esq., of Porter is very ill. Mr. Clark has been ailing ! for months, but recently his con dition is far more serious. Mrs. Dotey, an old lady who lives ! not far from Albright's Corner,! sustained serious injuries, through falling, early this week. Mrs. Jessie F. 'Jilmore returned to hor homo near Center last week, i where she will pss the summer I with some of hor grandchildren. Thomas Shepherd suffered the loss . of two sheep last week, the work of i some dogs unknown. Mr. Mac- j Uregor lost two lambs in the same; manner, a day or two later. j Mrs. Kate Westbrook, wtoro told, : does not expect to reside in DeH ; ware hereof tcr, but will take up a ; residence elsewhere.
