He was engaged in the milling niiirh of his life. He finally retired from the milling business and em barked in the lumber business in West Virginia, continuing thus employed for about ten years. For some time past he had been living retired and has spent a great deal of his time in that city and vicinity. For a couple of years preceding death he lived at the Keddens House.

Zehnder, of Scranton; Ber tha, (Mrs. Donley) of Pittsburg, and Alice (Mrs. Lyon) of Noifolk, Virginia. .. , Gowen City Has Mystery. The Sunbury Daily tells of a mysterious case at Gowen City, Northumberland County as follows: "Lights, dancing, now wan and nebulous, now bright and glaring, low, moaning sounds and again the sounds of a heavy explosion haunt the oak tree at Gowen City where Monroe v hary killed himself last wnter by placing a duahn stick 011 his head. Gowen City people hur ry by the moaning old oak and look askance at it when in the dead o night the mysterious sounds are heard. J "So firmly do several people iu the little hamlet near Shamokin be lieve that the miner's spirit has come back to haunt the scene of his horrible end that they will not pass the oak after dark, "Four of the bolder .-pints in vestigated the spot one night am found nothing. They watched vigilantly all night but no disturb ini lights appeared. One of the watchers declares that as the moon sank behind the hills, a cold hand was laid across his face and that unable to move or cry out he sat in terror until the uncanuv arm was withdrawn."

One of the great results that State Health Commissioner Dixon hopes to accomplish is the clearing up of the watersheds of the entire state, as an essential part of the work of securing pure water for the people of Pennsylvania and of thus cutting down the yearly sacrifice of lives to typhoid fever. This will take a small army of men in the field, but Dr. Dixon believes the money outlay that will be necessity will be but a drop in the ocean compared to the annual loss to the state from deaths and sickness through typh id fever. There were reported to the State Health Department during the year 1906, 24,421 cases of typhoid fever in Pennsylvania. During the same period 3,000 lives were blotted out by the scourge, nearly all of them, it is safe to say, killed by drinking polluted water. "And scourge is the term we should use," said Com missioner Dixon recently. "We continually express a horrible fear of the yellow fever 'scourge' or the news that there were a half dozen cases of yellow fever or cholera in Pennsylvania would startle every city, town and village in he state. We would consider no money out lay too great in the battle necessary to stop the onward march of such a scourge. But we are just waking up to the realization that the scourge of typhoid is draining eight or nine lives in Pennsylvania for every day in the year, and there are sixty-six persons stricken with the disease for every day in the year. The army of watershed in spectors and health offic rs that we hope soon to be able to place in the field against this foe will, if given the opportunity, wage a battle for the protection of the state that will forever redound to the health and happiness and prosperity of the people ot Pennsylvania." Duty Keeps Judge irora His Child. When His Honor Can Leave Court, Little One Is Dying. Duty to the court over which he .vas presiding Saturday, prevented Judge Charles B.

His Honor was made acquainted with the serious condition ot his daughter while hearing a case. He interrupted one of the lawyers, charged the jury and hastened to his home The child, an idol of the Judge, did not recognize the fitthet, but passed away in a few minutes. Judge Staples has many friends here who sympathize with him in his affliction. Judge Scores Constables. Says Luzerne County Can Get Along Much Better Without Them. "This court has reached the con elusion that the county could get along much better without constab les," declared Judge Wheaton last Saturday when District Attorney Salesburg applied for the appoint ment of a constable to fill a vacancy. The District Attorney declared he wanted the man to obtain in formation against speak-easies rn his district, and the court took the appointment under consideration. It has been the regular thing for years for every constable in the county to report each return day, that there were no speak-easies in his district. There are, in fact, between seven and eight hundred in Luzerne county. Nescopeck-Berwick Bridge Now Open The new bridge connecting Nesco peck and Berwick has been opened to travel.
