While considerable damage was done it was not near so great as was expected by those who saw the rapid rise of the streams. | Sandy Lick poured the largest volume of water into Red Bank, which was soon a raging torrent. North Fork, while not as high as it has been in former years, contained several millions of feet of logs which were started by the large body of ice back of them. Verstine, Kline & Cos', dam was torn out and the logs lodged against the piers of the railroad bridge above Cook & Graham's mill. Loaded cars were placed on the bridge and a large number of cables used to secure the jam of logs. In this manner the logs were kept from breaking through the dam. Contrary to expectations not a log was lost. The bridge across Handy Lick, at Bells Mills, about two miles east of town, was swept away. The bridge crossing Red Bank at White street, was badly pounded with the ice and is closed to travel. It will probably have to be rebuilt. Interesting Letter from the Jefferson County William Kelso has returned from a three weeks' trip to West Virginia, where he has large interests in timber lands that require a great deal of his time looking after. Argument Court convened on Monday morning and brought a large number of attorneys from nearly every point. The list was a large one, but was disposed of in Judge Reed's usual expeditious manner. J. P. George is selling out his job printing office with the intention of retiring from the business. Mr. George is the oldest printer in Brookville and probably the oldest at the business in Jefferson county. In the suit of Justice of the Peace Albert Baur against Jefferson county, involving a question of costs in discharged cases which the County reftised to pay, Justice of the Peace John W. Walker, on Tuesday rendered judgment against the plaintiff. Mrs. Thomas J. Barr is lying very ill with heart trouble at her homo on Water street. Her condition at times during the past week has been so serious that very little hope was entertained for her recovery. While a little improved at last accounts, she is still so low that her family is almost hoping against hope. Town Council met on Monday evening; the newly elected members, G. D. Bufflngton, Tom V. Hendricks, John S. Moore and John T. Stewart were present. The old board closed it« business, after which the new board was organized. John ftS. Moore was elected president of the Council, and C. Z. Gordon clerk. John E. Barr received the unanimous support of the Council for'reappointment as chief of police at au increased salary. Dr. John K. Scribner died suddenly at his home in Finleyville last Sunday, of heart disease. Dr. Scribner was born in Brookville in 1871. He was the son of Alexander S. Scribner, a popular hotel keeper of his time, and well known as the proprietor of the American House, Pittsburg. Dr. Scribner studied medicine under Dr. A. F. Balmer and graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Shortly afterward he was marriod to Miss May me Darr, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Darr, of Brookville, and located in Pittsburg where he had much success 411 his practice. For several years prior to his death he was loeated in Finleyville. His remains were brought to Brookville on Tuesday and given burial in the Brookville cemetery beside those of his parents, who died several years since. Besides his widow Dr. Scribner left two children surviving him. The funeral was under the auspices of Hobah Lodge F. and A. M. of Hrookville. TOOL DRESSER WANTS TO DIE. Mutilates Himself With a Penknife. Crazed by Too Much Whiskey a Butler Man A press dispatch from Butler to Monday's Pittsburg Times says : "John Dunlap, an oil tool dresser, of near Greece City, was committed to jail here to-day, charged with attempted suicide. Friday, Dunlap was arrested and committed to the borough lockup on a charge of drunkenness. Yesterday evening he made a desperate attempt to take his life. With a small penknife he cut his throat twice from ear to ear and stabbed himself in the breast. The first cut was not deep enough to sever any of the arteries. With the blood spurting from the wound he drew the knife a second time around his throat. This second attempt proving futile, the desperate man drove the knife into his breast, directly over the heart. Policeman Robert J. Ray found Dunlap lying on the floor of the lockup slowly bleeding to death. Dr. J. W. F. Moore was summoned, who put 22 stitches in the throat and two in the breast. Dunlap is very weak from loss of blood, but will recover." Shoes ! Shoes ! All New. 20 per cent. Saved on All Shoes. W. li. Corsets $1. None better. McCall Patterns 1(1 aiul 15centa.

The China Sale New Start To-day. A Great Deal In This Life Depends on Starting right. When w>. lirst came to this town a few years ago, merchants were tumbling over each otherto get ev'ything out of the people they could. It was like the scramble in Wall street sometimes. "Shear the lamb as close as you can." There must be a better business way, we said, and we started to lind it. Today the foundation is still standing, supported not only by this store, but all other stores in different parts ot the state. The New store With New Goods Opens to Success.

Once more the death angel has entered the ranks' of our Aid Society and borne away our sister and Mend, Mrs. Ellen Hummel. When we meet again her chair will be vacant. Oh 1 how we will miss her quiet helpftil presence, her liberal giving and her loyalty to the charoh of which she was a member so long. Our hearts are sad with the thought that she can labor with us no more. Her work is done, her labor ended and her master has said "It is enough eome np higher." So we bid her farewell, feeling that we shall meet In that brighter and bettor land to part no mine. One less on earth! Its naln. Its sorrow and Its toll to share. One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear, One more the orown of the bleat to wear At honteln heaven.
