There has been under advisement by the court of Huntingdon county the case of whether the county or borough of Mount Union must pay the expenses of quarantine of those families which were unable to pay for themselves during the recent epidemic of smallpox in that plice. The suit was instituted by praying the court to grant a niaudamas compelling the county commission ers and poor directors to pay quar antine expenses to the amount of i 176.6';. Judge Woods after a careful examination of the prece dents pertaining to such cases on Tuesday returned his decision to the prothonotary of the court deny ing the writ of mandamus and thus leaving the expense where it prop erly belongs, namely in the district where the expense was incurred, Mt. Union. Law May Be Tested- It is possible that the new vacci nation law may be tested in this county, as there is liable to be a clash between the state board of health and the local authorities. Dr. Arment, the health officer, has been instructed by the state board 10 insist upon keeping all children out of the schools unless they are vaccinated of can produce a certifi cate that they have been successful ly vaccinated. There are a numb er of cases where children have come with certificates from a phy sician that their physical condition is such that it would be dangerous to vaccinate them. Dr. Arment has been advised by the state board that such pupils cannot attend school. In the School Journal just issued Superintendent Kvans advises teachers that they should permit sucli cases to remain in school. Should any teacher be arrested for not sending such a case home, a test case would be made, and a de-! cision ot the court, or the verdict of a jury obtained The matter has assumed such a shape that it is very desirable that the question should be decided as to whether a child whose physical condition is certified by a physician to be such that health would be eudaugered by vaccination, must take the risk or be turned out of school. In the case of a healthy child there is no question whatever but that he must be vaccinated or be refused school privileges. Pricei ot Spectacles and Eye Glasses.

He has issued the following circular letter to consumers, which explains .tsclf. Bloomsburg, Pa., Nov. 25, 1905 Dear Sirs: The undersigned having been appointed by the Court of Common Pleas of Colum bia County, receiver of the Blooms burg Steam and Klectrlc Lk'ht Company it become his dutv to in form you as a consumer that the business of supplying steam heat cannot be further continued at the rates heretofore charged. Opera tions under those ntos means oper ation at a loss. The rates for steam heat must therefore be in creased or the business discontinued bv the receiver. It is the desire of the receiver,, for the best inter ests of all concerned, to continue the operation of the steam plant, but whether or not this can be dene will depend upon the action of the consumers. Bills will be rendered as former ly upon the first of each month for the month preceding, and must be paid on or before the tenth ol the month or five per cent penalty will be added. All present arrearages must be immediately paid, and hereafter, when the consumer has become one month in arrear, the receiver will cut off the supply of steam until arrearage and expense of cutting off has been paid. Failure to notify the receiver that you do not wish to lie supplied with steam heat under the above terms will be construed as an acceptance of the same. Jonx M. Clark, Receiver Bloomsburg Steam and Klectric Light Co. People who have their own steam plants in their homes or business buildings are congratulating them selves. It is to be hoped that the com pany will be able to continue to run the plant the balance of this season at least, as its stoppage would find many buildings without heat in mid-winte-. Next summer there will probably be a rush to put in private plants, unless the Steam Company can make some arrange tnent by which its permanent con tinuance can be assured.

This is a fair indi cation that there is a treat in store for us. On Monday night Dec. 4th the Rogers Grilley como giy will open the course with a recital.

Kntire couase 5'-5- Board opens Friday morning at Bidleman's Book Store. No Btnka. Occasionally one meets with a metropolitan paper or magazine in which some sedentary philosopher with less knowledge of the coal trade than of the possession of the equinoxes, discuss the likelihood of a coal strike next spring when the present contract between the mine owners aud mine workers termin ates. Such speculations are not worth a moment's thought, for the reason that there are not the remotest pos sibilities of a strike. Iu the first plac- there is nothing in existing conditions to warrant so great a catastrophe; secondly, neither the companies nor the men want a strike; thirdly, the country is so busy that it cannot afford it; fourth ly, there is sufficient common sense among employers and employed to avert it, and there are various oth er reasons that it is not necessary to enumerate, among them the abounding prosperity of the nation. Nobody wants a strike or lockout next spring, aud as President Mit chell declared in an interview on the subject a short time ago, it would be nothing less than criminal to precipitate snch a calamity. That there are certain questions in dis pute between mine owners and mine workers is undeniable, but they are not so serious as to be impossible of adjustment among rational men, and the country will look for the exercise of common sense on all sides in dealing with the subject. V lewed m this bgat business in the Anthracite valleys should uot be influenced adversely during the winter season by the menace of trouble in the coal regious. Scran ton Truth. Trying to Out Now York Train. Berwick business men are making an effort to have the D. L. & W, Railroad Co. run its New York train to that place instead of lying over at Plyti outh as now. This would give SLickshinny and Ber wick residents a most valuable through train which now runs through from Plymouth to Ilobok en, landing passengers in the me tropolis in time lor dinner, and they can return home the same day as the tram starts on the return trip at 4 p. m. and would reach Berwick shortly after 10 o'clock. By the extending of this train service to Berwick the Lackawanna railroad would undoubtedly secure quite a heavy traffic. Shickshinny Echo, Why not extend this train service to Bloomsburg ?
