HAS ONE OF THE
MODERN BUILDING
New Business Established of Jess
F. Warga Fast Nearing Comple
x tion Soon to Be Occupied
The busi ness portion of the city
has been greatly beautified by the
new building that JessF. Warga has
had erected on t5:e sire of the struc
ture tli:'t v us burned on New Years
night.
The building is of H-.styie of archi
tecture different from the usual style
of the business houses of the city and
is made along very classic and pleas-
in" linos snd is a structure that fs
certainly an object of beauty to the
eye.
The lower floor is to be occupied
by the sales room of Mr. Warga in
the front portion and the work room
in the rear portion of the building.
In the front portion a prettier store
room could not have been deviced.
as it is finished in white and blue,
the walls and ceiling being in the
clear white while the tiled floor Is
finished in a pattern of blue and
white and makes a most attractive
appearance. "
From the store room there are en
trances to the work room in the rear
where the plumbing department will
be located and. also to the elevator
that operates from the cellar to the
top floor of the building. A stair
way finished in nark green leads to
the upper floor where the chapel and
undertaking rooms of John I'. Sat
tler will be located. Here as on the
lower floor the color scheme will be
in white and the chapel 'occupying
the front portion of the building will
be finished in the 'atest and most
approved manner "j his, r purpose.
The large French windows will be
shaded with curtains while the floors
will be finished off with a carpeting
of the dark red and the room com
pleted with seats and arranged so
that the funeral service can be held
there as easily as at the home or the
church.
The building is a credit to the
city and one that Messrs. Warga and
Sat tier can feel a just pride in oc
cupying as it is as complete and mod
ern as any building in the state of
its size.
ROOSTING FOR RASE
RALL TEAM IN CITY
Papers Being Circulated to Secure
Financial Support for Eagle Team
and lMeeting With Response.
From Thursday's I'aily.
The base ball fans and all those
who desire to see this city repre
sented by a real base ball team this
season are busy today circulating a
subscription to raise funds to assist
in he work of aiding the team.
This year the team is being oper
ated by Manager Barclay on strictly
business principals and the receipts
of the games are arranged so that a
portion will go toward the maintain
ence of the grounds and assures that
at the end of the season there will
be something more than vacancy in
the treasury.
The team has had a great deal of
expense in getting under way this
year as it was necessary to purchase
a great deal of addition equipment
to replace that worn out by the Red
Sox in the last few years and th-?
necessary repairs to the grounds as
well as advertising and it is hoped
that through the assistance of the
public spirited citizens that this can
be partially overcome and the team
be able to forge ahead.
This is a very worthy cause and
one that should have the support of
the community as the present team
is playing good ball and with the
proper support will be able to restore
the game to its old standard in this
cit v.

LEARNS OF DEATH
OF NEPHEW IN OHIO
Attorney Charles E. Martin Receives
j Sad News of Tragic Death of
Son of His Sister.
From Friday's Dally
Attorney Charles K. Martin of this
city today received from his brother,
Jacob Martin, or North Lew isburg,
Ohio, the announcement of the death
of their nephew. Clifford Burnsides
la son of Mrs. Eliza Burnsides, a sis-
'ter of Mr. Martin. The account of
the deatli taken from the North Lew
isburg Reporter, gives the details of
!tbe tragedy as follows:
j While hundreds of people who had
I gathered to listen to a band concert
I stood bv horrified at the sight and the
sound of his frantic cries for help.
Clifford Burnsides, 23 was electrocut
ed on th? lawn of J. H. Beltz home
in North Lewisbur;; at 0 o'clock Tues
day evening.
The young man met death in a
tragic manner while many men made
frantic efforts to extract him from a
tangle of highly charged wires. Seek-
'in? only to break Burnsides contact
j v.ith the deadly current, the men
parsed a rope around his body and
started dragging him to safety. They
failed to notice a pool of water to
ward which they were dragging him.
No sooner had he struck this pool
than his cries stopped instantly. The
increased induction kiled him in
stantly. Lad's Life Endangered
The tragedy followed the narrow
escape of Cecil Kern, a 12-year-old
boy. who hud fallen on a broken tele
phone wire which had been charged
by coming in contact with electric
light wires. All efforts to pull the
boy loose failed until "Ted" Augur,
formerly of I'rbana. ran to the local
light plant and pulled the switch,
cutting off the current.
Although the boy received a bad
shock he was not badly injured.
Following this rescue. Augur, for
merly manager of the I'rbana light
plant, climbed a telephone pole to life
the telephone wires off of the electric
wires. He was not quite able to reach
the offending wires and. as the cur
j reat was still off, asked young Burn-
sides, who happened to be standing
near by4 to take hold of the telephone
wires and assist him.
Current Turned On r
While Burnsides was holding this
wire, Mr. Jordan, acting on informa
tion to the effect that the trouble was
all over, switched on the current
again, it is said. The shock threw
Augur from the telephone pole. Bum
sides va Unable to let go of the wire
he was holding and in his threshing
around soon found himself 'in a hope
less tangle of hot wires.
The frantic efforts to save the
young man's life, his own struggles
to free himself, and the tragic end
of it all when he came in contact
with a pool cf water formed by the
heavy rains of the day, were enact
ed before the horrified eyes of hund
reds of men. women and children who
had gathered to be entertained by the
village band.
As soon as the current couldagain
be turned off Burnsides' body was ex
tracted from the wires and he was
rushed ta the office of Dr. Bodey.
where it was found that life had
passed from his body. It ' is thought
that the young man was instantly
killed when he came in contact with
the water.
Augur, though badly shaken up.
was not seriously injured and was
able to be out again Wednesday
morning.
Leaves Wife and Stepson
Burnesides leaves a wife and one j
stepson. He is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Oran Burnsides. of Cable, who
survive him. He is also mourned by
three brothers, Harold, Herman and
Robert, and on? sister. Helen.
Funeral services will be held from
the M. E. church in North Lewisburg,
at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon.

and her early recovery is looked for
by the attending physicians. This
will be pleasing news to the many
friends 'of Mrs. Becker here and they
trust that she may continue to show
progress until her complete recovery
is assured.
Spending
It has been remarked that the more
money a person has, the more careful they
are about spending it.
And the careful man always pays his bills
by check because he is then automatically
supplied with a receipt and always has before
him an accurate record of the money paid out.
If you "nave no checking account, open
one at the First National Bank. You will en
joy its convenience and protection. You will
wonder why you deprived yourself of a check
ing account for so long.
