THB PEOPLR'S NATIONAL FAMILY NP.WSPAPliR
The state reservoir situated about a
fatal accident on Thursday afternoon of
last week. Orva Phillips, ~he adopted
son of Mayor John Lawrence, in com-
pany with Glenn Wllhams, Wilson Wil-
liams, Bric~ Mack and Willie Hammond
had brought to the reservoir au old fiat
bottomed boat, made some years ago by
James Buchanan, and had patched it up.
The boat leaked badly and was not a
very safe thing for boys unaccustomed
to the use of boats to fool with.
They d~d not have any oars and to
propel it used two pieces of six inch
boards and two long poles.
,The first trip only four of the boys
were in the boat--the Hammond boy not
going. The second time they all got in.
By this time the boat was getting badly
water logged and when about half way
acrem the pond they discovered that the
boat was sinking. Then all jumped out.
The two Williams boys and Willie Ham-
mond could swim and they pulled out
for the west end of the reservoir, where
the water was shallow. Brice Mack
could not swim but he held on to the
piec~ of board he had been using as an
oar and tt was sufficient to support him
and kept his head out of water. He was
in the water for about half an hour and
was brought to shore by Messrs. Lockett
and Sehonberg, who swam out to him.
The alarm was given in town by Glenn
Williams, who, as soon as~he found that
Orva had sunk, jumped on a horse and
immediately notified Mr. Lawrence aud
others. Ina very few moment~ a hun-
dred people were on the spot.
The boys had all removed their clothes
before getting into the boat and to this
fact the other four no doubt owe their
lives.
There has not bean any water in
the reservoir until very recently.Several

Grand Secretary.
[Copyright, 19~0, by C. B. Lewis.]
One day, as the akound of Swat had
returned from a trip around town, dur-
ing which thousands of his subjects
had knelt to do him homage, he called
for his grand secretary and said:
"Remshen, I'm a good deal of a fel-
ler, ain't I ?"
"You are, 0 heaven born!" was the
Teply.
"Would you call me the biggest thing
on earth ?"
"Truly, but you are!"
"While I'm around on this earth
there can be no other boss, eh, Rem-
shen T'
"All other things are but a fly on a
bull wheel compared to your extra
highness."
"But how about the heavens, Rem-
siren?" continued the akound after
chuckling his satisfaction. "I mn sat-
isfied that I boss the earth, even to the
mountains and rivers thereof, but I'm
not exactly clear as to the sun, moon
and stars• Don't they come under my
rule as well?"
"Post not remember, 0 mighty ruler,
that your title is Akound the ~lghty,
CRIED OUT FOR THE MOON TO TAKE A DROP,
boss of the earth and owner of all the
planets above? Your humble slave as-
sures you that the sun, moon and every
star will hustle to do your bidding."
"Thanks, Remshen. I must be a
daisy for sure. Not being clear on the
subject, I haven't given much atten-
tion to celestial matters, but now I
think I'll give them a whirl. If a fel-
ler is going to be boss at all, he might
as well be a boss on wheels."
"That is true, O akound, and when
you get ready to command the moon to
come off her perch I will issue procla.
matlon and gather the people."
Old Remshen was a fawning syco-
phant on skates. He had a good thing
and wanted to keep it. He had said
the same fulsome words to his master
a hundred times over, but nothing had
come of it except to make his position
more solid. A day or two after the
above conversation and while he was
going around the palace with a molas-
sea grin on his face the bell jingled,
and he was called into the presence of
his master.
"By the way, Remshen, do you re-
cloud bursts have occurred on the water
shed to the northwest during the past
two weeks and the reservoir had filled
up so that in some places it was from ten
to twelve feet deep. The water was
very muddy and also very cold and this member our little conversation the oth-
made it impossible for any one to stay in er day?" queried the akound.
"Can a slave forget his master's
it for any great length of time.
The discharge pipes were opened and
iu the evening the water had been lower-
edso that the pond could be waded.
About 10:30o'cicok at nigbt tbe body
was found by Ira Colvin and Sterling
Hedges. It was lying under about/hree
feet of water.
Orva Phillips was born in Sa~uache
14 years ago May llth. His father is
dead but his mother--Mrs. Lussey--two
brothers and two sisters live at Silverton.
Mrs. Humphrey Fullerton of this place
is another sister. The family at Silver.
I tou were wired the news of his death.
Orva Phillips was taken when but a
small child by Mr. and Mrs. John Law-
rence and they were to him all that nat-
ural parents could be. They were great= [
ly attached to him and his tlagm death
affected them very much. Mrs. Law.
fence required the attentions of a physi-
i oian and Mr. Lawrence staid at the rea-
l erroir until the body was recovered.
The funeral occurred last Saturday
I afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Don't be satisfied with temporary re
lief from indigestion. Kodol Dyspepsia
, Cure permanently and completely re-
moves lhis complaint. It relieves per-i
manenHy because it allows the tired
stomach perfect rest. Dieting won't rest
i the stomach. Nature receives supplies
from the food we eat. The sensible way
to help the stomach is to use Kodol Dys-
pepsia Cure, which digests what you eat
and can't help but do you" good. Sa-
guaehe Pharmacl,
words?" asked Remshen as he lifted
his hands in protest.
"I've been thiuklng, l'm a heap of a
feller, and you know it, and I know it,
bnt there may be a man or two on the
outside who differs with us. I want to
do something big to knock 'era all out."
"Will it please thee to behead a thou-
sand men 7"
"Well, yes, it would, but as it is just
about tax time we'd better leave their
heads ou their shoulders nntil they
have paid in the sugar. I think I'll go
for the moon, Remshen. She'll be full
tonight, and I'll order her to come
down to earth."
"But, O ruler, she might be damaged
in the fall," protested Remshen, begin-
ning to quake with fear.
'Tll look out for that. We'll spread
a feather bed for her to light on. Just
issue a proclamation for the people to
gather on the east side of my palace at
10 o'clock tonight."
"The moon, O ruler, Is sometimes ob-
stinate," suggested Remshen as he felt
a pain. "She has even been known to
disobey mighty potentates."
"But she'll tumble for me, or I'll
know the reason why! Is it not in my
title that I am owner of all the planets
above? Get along, old boy, and issue
that proclamation. When my subjects
discover that I can wallop old Luna
around at will, there'll be no more
kicking about high taxes."
Old Remshen was boxed up and
couldn't say another word. He went
away and Issued his proclamation and
then beseeched the grave of his father,
the bones of his mother and his lucky
Jtnrs to ~end a dark night to knock the
¢~srl~0~t On th0 hea~, ~ Wa~ 10al~,
mg mnous wilco night came and the
old York state cheese arose In all her
glory. Everybody In town was out,
and the odds were five to one that the
akound would win. At the hour named
he appeared on the steps of his palace
aud lifted his hands and cried out for
the moon to take a drop. It was a
dead failure. He cried out again and
again, but the moon continued her gait.
"Remshen." said the boss of earth
when he realized that he was knocked
out, "dismiss the populace and come
with me."
The populace went away with thell
tongues in their cheeks, and when th~
akound had reached his library he
said:
"How L~ this, Remshen? Why didn't
the moon come down?"
"O ruler," replied the old sycophant
as his heart tunked his ribs, "there is a
difference between theory and fact."
"I see. Theoretically I am owner of
the planets, Practically I am an ass. I
ought to imve got ou to this, but being
¢o busy It never occurred to me. Rem-
shen, old boy, come out in the back
yard with me."
"O mighty ruler, but what would
you ?"
"I'm going to give auother illustra-
tion of theorY versus fact. Theoretically
you are my grand secretary and one of
the most eminent men in the kingdom.
As a matter of fact you are a head
shorter, and your bones will go to en-
rich my gooseberry bushes!"
M. QVA~).
Astounded the .~.dltor.
Editor S. A. Brown~[~ Bennettsville,
S. C., was once immensely surprised.
"Through long suffering from dyspep.
sis," he writes, "my wife was greatly run
down. She had no strength or wgor
and suffered great distress from her
stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters
which helped her at once, and, after
using four bottles, she ie entirely well
can eatanything. Its a grand tonic, and
its gentle laxative qualities are splendid
for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss
of appetite, stomach and liver troubles
its a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50

IV[aid of Honor.
Two years ago a fine piano was given
to a lucky maid of honor. This year the
main prize will be a diamond ring, The

lowing letter to the board.
"John McNamara, secretary, Dear Sir.
The firm of A. T. Lewis & Son takes
pleasure in offering to the board of direc-
tion of the festival of mountain and plain

tival of 1901. The manner of making

bers to the former total shall be placed

The Burlington route announces a rate
of $36.90, less than one fare from Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and Denver, and inter.
mediate p,Ants, to Cleveland, Ohig, and
return. The rate from other points in
Colorado will be one fare added to the
nearest point from which the $36.90 rate
applies. All agents will be instructed to
sell through tickets on September 7th to
10th iuclusive, routed via the Burlington
if so desired by the purchaser. These
tmkets will be limited to September 15
with privilege, of extension to leave
Clevelaud as late ss October 8th. No
other line can offer a cheaper rate or bet-
ter service. One can ]eave. Denver on
the Burlington's famous Chicago special
at 4 p. m. and reach Cleveland the sec-
ond morning at 7.40, the only change of
cars being at Chicago. This service is
available to every one, whether Pullman.
berths are desired or not, for the latest
pattern reclining chair cars, in which
seats are free are carried on this train,
in addition to Pullman sleepers and bur.
let library observation car. Mea[s are
sorved to all in dining cars on the popu-
lar plan of "pay only for what you get"
whether only 25 cents' worth or more.
These dining oars are not expeoted to
realize a profit, but are in operation for
the convenience of the traveling publio,
which accounts for the excellence of the
service. No where in the world oan one
get so much for so little money.
If you contemplate a trip to the east
why not join "the old guard" and radiate

tion,
The annual encampment of the G. A.
R. will soon be a matter of history, and
as this one promises to eclipse all others
in point of lavish hospitality, it is w~ll

other line. With reference to berths
and other information, a letter addressed
to Gee. W. Vallery, general agent, Den-
ver, will elicit prompt attention.

We like to say a good word for any-

to endorse the Sterhng Remedy compa-
ny, makers of the famous Cascarets.
Within five years the sale of Cascarets
has grown from a single box until last
year it reached the enormous sale of over
six million boxes. Wo mention thiswith
pride because we have carried the adver-
tising in the columns of this paper and
it is only another proofthat the right
kind of advertising behind an article
with real merit like Cascarets brings
success. All druggists report an enor-
mous demand for Casearets that is stead-
ily increasing. They are put up'An|con-
venient form and the prices are 10c, 25o
and a 50c box is enough for one month's
treatment. We urge our friends who
have the slightest liver or bowel trouble
to give them a trial.
