A HORSE'S FRANTIC CAPER Daniel Bam-, George Carter and Boyd Girt on, throe young men of Bloomsburg, who drove down to rhi city Monday > veiling in one of Livery meu, Girtou &* Zicgler - sleighs, met with a mishap which detained them in Danville until nearly noon yester day. The trio attends I the performance of Hi Henry'.- minstrels and about midnight started on their homeward drive. As they approached the P. & R. railway crossing on Bloom street their horse took fright at an approach ing train and wheeling around retrac ed his way down the street. The horse was utterly beyond con trol and af the Third Ward school building he overturned the sleigh, dumping the three men into the street after which with acceleritel motion he sped down the -freet. Af the First National Bauk he turned up Mill street, the empty sleigh and th • flying horse creating no little wonder among the belated pedestrians. At the Dau ville National Bank he dashed down West Market street and was soon out of sight beyond the Borough limit- Daniel Barns was bruised upon the shoulder when thrown out of the sleigh ; the others escaped unhurt. The trio returned to Welliver's livery stable where tho horse had been put up dur ing the evening. Procuring a horse and sleigh accompanied by the livery man they started down the river in pursuit of the runaway. The frightened animal in his flight had crossed the bridge at the Creek's Mouth and just beyond had left the roadway and mounted the hugli ice jam which is piled up in the river at that point as high as tin bank. There where it would seem utterly impossi ble to drive a horse the animal drag ging the sleigh after him. slipping on the slanting ice,regaining hi- feet and leaping from ono hillo- k of ice to another had made his way tor several hundred yards. He wa< next tracked along the road to the lower bridge where instead of crossing to the North umberland road, be dashed down the tow path. At a short (".-tame below he plunged into th*- abandoned canal He had it seem-, mu -h difficulty iu several attempts and before he -uc ceeded the sleigh, alrea ly badlv brok en, was reduced to a general wreck When found the horse was s; tudiug near as if bewildered a'.id the broken sleigh lay iu the canal. The horse was brought back to town and was found to be uninjured with the exception of a tew abrasion- about the leg-. Tues day forenoon the sloighj was |brought up to town and patched up in such a way that it could be drawn to Blooms bnrg. Why Foreigners are Immune. In speaking before the Schuylkill Medical Society at Pottsville last week, Dr. W. R. Brothers, of latna qua, medical examiner for the P. <V- R., made the statement that all of the cases of smallpox in this region are the result of the victims having failed to be vaccinated. In the towns where tho foreign element i- in the majority especially the class from eastern and ■northern Europe there has been no outbreaks of the disease. This is not due to the sanitary condition of tho people or their homes, but to the fact that from childhood they are taught the necessity of vaccination, and all religiously follow the custom of being vaccinated at least once in every five years. The vaccination laws should be more rigidly enforced ami there will be no further spread of the dis ease. He complained that many are unsuccessfully vaccinated, but the physicians attending give certificates before they know whether or net it ha* been successful. Officers Installed.

A startling sequel to one of Pennsyl vania's most famous murders has come m the finding of what is believed to he a key to the hiding place of sfiooo or more which the murderer buried before his arrest. While repairing a roadway near his farm along tho Nigger Hollow road six miles north of Williamsport. re cently, John Montgomery selected a large stone to place over a culvert. Upon dislodging the stone he found a two-ounce bottle in the hole thus form ed. In the bottle were two pieces of paper. One had been torn from a copy of Harper's Bazaar of the date of Jan. 2, T>9. The other was a piece of white paper evidently taken from a ledger. It bote some writing aud a small dia gram. Although the paper and ink both bore evidences of age, the writ ing aud diagram were entirely legi ble. The note read ; "Look between chestnut tree ami big stone under a small tree. Nobody can find this but me: There is a curse on it. N. W. " The writing was plain aud neat, al though the spelling and punctuation were faulty. In the lower right hand corner was the diagram. It was a sim ple bit of drawing consisting of a cir cle and two objects,which might have been made to represent stones, the ob jects being connected with lines and the lengths of the three lines were recorded as being 5 feet, 10 feet and 20 feet respectively. In the light of information which be poisesed, Montgomery became con vinced that the note had been written by Nelsou Wade, who was hanged in Williamsport thirty years ago for the couple. Wade was a young man who became shoit of money through association with fast companions. John Meßride and his wife lived in a cottage west of Williamsport, and were reputed to have iiad S6OOO in gold hidden in var ious parts of their premises. One evening in the summer of 1873 Wade went to the Mcßride home, beat in the skulls of the old pair aud took away all the gold he could carry on his person. Two days later Waile was arrested and confessed all, but refused to tell where the money was hidden. If was known at the time that Wade had slept the night after the murder in a vacant house on the farm now owned by Montgomery and where the k«*y to the treasure has just been found. At that time the place where the bottled message has been found was densely wooded and a mile from the public highway, and it is hardly con ceivable that the message could have beeh placed there except by Wade. The writing on the note has been compar ed with some of Wade's manuscript IU the Sheriff's office, and the resembl ance is unquestionable. A few weeks before he found the me-sage, Montgomery turned over an other stone at the same point and un der it t und a nickle of the coinage of 1 M.">. His first thought after the sec ond find, was that the two objects iu rle diagram resembling rookH referred to the roeks under which he found the bottle and the nickle. The former stone is so straight that one would think it as made so by a chisel. Taking this straight line as a guide Montgomery measured off ten feet and was pleased to find that the distance fr<un the extremity thus formed to the 1 ii' ii -t point ol the othor rock was ex- K't l\ five fe t, thus conforming exact ly with the diagram. Continuing this latter line to a point twenty feet from the rock, he dug for gold but did not lind any. Now Mout gomer\ thinks be has made a mistake and that he should extend the line, not twenty fe«t from the rock, but twenty feet from the intersection of th" other two lines. When the ground thaws out sutfioi • nt 1 y Montgomery proposes to blow up »!! the ground in tin- vicinity of the rock- in tbe hope of finding the booty. As the diagram was made thirty years ago, the ii feieiice to certain trees is not of any advantage to the searchers, for tl • tr es have disappeared.

Warren, Dairy anil Food Commis sioner, which has just been transmit ted to Governor Pennypacker, shows that the record attained «ud the work accomplished in the matter of enforc ing the dairy and food laws of this State is unprecedented, and that both in the number of prosecutions uistitu (><) against offenders of the pure food law- and the sum total collected lor tines, etc., n<»t only exceeds that of any previous year since these lawn were enacted, hut the work accom plished in general is far ahead of that of any other State in the Union The total receipts to the office during 1903 amounted to $*.('{,455.71. This sum in cludes the amounts collected for the year prior to April 1, when Commis sioner Warren assumed charge of the nttice and is made up as follows Fure food fines, $39,752.18; oleoniir garine licenses, $37,911.13; milk fines. $0,093. *>o; oleomargarine tinea, act of ISM. sf>lo<S,oo; under act of 1901, s">,- 907.38; under act of IH!>3, -* 125.5.5; ren ovated butter lines, under act of 1899, $17.37; under act of 1901, $1,032.05; vinegar tines s77*.i. 34 ; lard tines, #357 ; renovated butter licenses, s2C>«.t?7; total. 193,458.71. In 1902 the total receipts aggregated $43,(>35.41,and in ISM)I they were $34,- 705.19. This comparison shows that the receipts for 1903 more thau doubl ed those of 1902, and about trippled the total for 1901. The report also shows that 1,800 pros ecutions were ordered since April 1, and that the suits not terminated will probably add twenty thousand dollars additional to the coffers of the State Treasury when finally disposed of. The increased amount of money re ceived from license fees for the sale of uucolored oleomargarine in Pennsyl vania indicates a more general com pliance with the laws regulating the manufacture and sale of oleomarga rine in this State, and the large sum collected from those who violated the laws is evidence that the commission er is determined that the sale and use of colored or unlicensed oleomargarine mast be stopped. He farther asserts that there shall he no abatement 111 the work and prosecutions will follow wherever violations of the law are dis covered. In concluding his report Commis sioner Warren expresses acknowledge ments for the support and encourage ment received from Governor Periuv packer and Secretaiy Gritohfield of the Department of Agriculture and al so to the local Boards of Health in the various cities and boroughs for their co-opei at iou. 80 DIFFERENT.

State.Treasurer Harris, in his annual report of the finances of the State which is now being prepared for pre sentation to the Legislature at its ses sion in 1905, commeuts upon the large balance in the Treasury at the close of the year and congratulates the State upon the condition of its Treasury, which has never before been equaled in the history of the Commonwealth. This condition of the finances of the State is attributed by Treasurer Harris to the prosperity of the country and the efficiency of Auditor General Hardenbeigh and Attorney t General Carsou in the prompt settlement aud collection of all taxes due the Com monwealth.

Among the annuals paid form addi tion to foxes and minks were hawks, skunks, lynx, and other destructive animals. It is probably less than ten years ago that the bounty was remov ed ftom hawks and skunks. Since then the warfare carried on against such animals speaking for our own county has not been a very aggressive one. During last year but two pelts were paid for in the County Commis sioners' office here. As a matter of fact the destruction of obnoxious an imals never was carried onto as great an extent here as 111 some counties, where men fond of an easy living, in whom the trapping instinct was de veloped often diovea paying business, receiving not only the dollar bounty but the proceeds for the fur in the ease of every animal caught. Of course there was a temptation to commit fraud and a former County Commissioner of Montour is authority for the following statement. Among the individuals who realized hand somely every yejr on the number of pelts he brought in was one who was famous for the number of -kutiks he killed. Things went on until either by accident or as the result of an in vestigation it was discovered that he had a fiue breeding ground and was giving a good detl of care and atten tion to the raising of skuuks.

George Hartzell, a resident of Fern ville, a suburb of Bloomsburg, met wifli u i>rv atirutiu *■ while engaged in cutting wood. Hartzel! and a companion were cut ting the trunk of a big tree up into cordwood lengths, using a crosscut saw. The tree lay on a hillside and Hartzell was on the lower side. Just as the saw went through the portion of the log severed, started to roll and striking Hartzell, knocked him down and rolled over him. The mm held a sharp double-bladed axe in his baud, which as the log went over him was pressed into his left leg be low the knee, inflicting a deep gash which went nearly all the way round the leg. A physician quickly repsond ed to a call; otherwise the man might have bled to death. Nine stitches were required in sewing up the wound. What'? In a Name.

Good crops saved the country from disaster that might have followed the depression 111 Wall street." There is much truth in what the Lancaster Examiner says on this subject ami we quote from its remarks in the hope that it may cause people to reflect and think upon the value and important?* of the farming in dustry : "Opinions like these cannot be too often reiterated, for the mass of peo ple have their imaginations find by the sight of huge factories and manu facturing plants. They overlook the farmer, for he works singly and not in the mas-, hut for all is the real master of the situation. This is an agricultural nation, and the young country boy should early learn that the farmer aggregated is the financial king of this hemisphere.

Owing to the recent action of the I Harrisburg school board in endorsing | the use of the rod in the public schools the old and much discussed subject is again agitatiug the newspapers of the country, which with very few ex ceptions condemn the punishment of pupils by teachers. The latter have the law and rules to adequately pun isli refractory pupils,or deny them at- j tendance at sessions. The teacher is ■ obliged to nriiiitaiu order, but if In* j or she, is not able to do so with nior.tl suasion or the milder forms of punish ment, they are either unqualified by ; temperament or make-up, for their position, or else have a pupil that should be punished at boiue or kept at i the latter place. There is a vast ditf j erence between the spirit of fun I and mischief which bubbles up in j some boys and must have an over- j flow, and maliciousness and devil- ; ishuess. A teacher should recognize ! the difference,and should be thorough- I ly acquainted and have made a study of human nature, before becoming an I instructor. A teacher who cannot con j tiol himself or herself, is not fit to 1 govern a school. The avocation is a i trying one at b'st, and the most suc cessful teacher is the one who disci plines largely by disciplining herself or himself. Book knowledge doesn't make a successful teacher. A refract ory or troublesome pupil is the fault of the teacher quite as often as any thing else. So long as the schools are in charge of men and women who do not under stand a boy,and wlid have no intelli gent sympathy lor the child nature, there will be periodical and insistent appeals for a return to the rod. These appeals are generally voiced in prin cipals' meetings by teachers who have bad -orry experiences with refractory I boys whom they have tried to whip into respect for constituted authority. As for the parents, they never join in the appeal. Flogging is brutalizing and degrading. The rod was thrown out of most public schools because its use by a teacher is cruel,illogical and unnatural. The teacher has no right to whip another person's child, and no amouut of declamation about "dis cipline" will give him that right. The responsibility for the severe discipline of a child belongs to the parents. Just what form it may take is for the par ent to decide. If this responsibility is not met firmly, patiently and humane ly the parent will suffer the conse quences. It eanuot be thrown entirely upon the teacher in the schools. The tendency in most cities in fact is to keep the pupil in the schools fewer hours, leaving the quetsion of disci pline more and more to the parents. Left for St. Louis. Samuel H.
