JUSTICE AS SHE IS RUN.
Polander Who Runs Booze Joint in
Real Name and Justice Office
Under American Name.
The Mt. Caruiel Item says:
Charles Krieger is a justice ot the
peace in Coal towuship. He holds
a liquor license under his Polish
name, but the commission as justice
for the unexpired term of William
Lloyd, now county treasurer, was
issued under his English name. He
has a very neat office, elaborately
fitted, having, it is alleged, pud
Mr. Lloyd $2,500 for the lurniture.
Last week a felloe bought a hat in
Ludes' store at Shamokin. When
he got home he found that the hat
was broken, and he attempted to
return it to the dealer. But Mr.
Ludes was busy, and told him to
"come tomorrow." The fellow
brought suit before Justice Kriger.
The 'squire heard the case through
out, and then remarked, "Ludes,
you pay $12.40, fine s-.ud costs."
Ludes yelled, "I won't pay it; I
will go to court." Said the 'squire:
"The h 1 yon won't; what for you
think I work?" All of which in
dicates that he is on to the job.

GENERAL NEWS.
"Lawyers are a necessary evil,"
says the Willianisport A'acs, which
declaration leads the Altoona Tri
bune to the defense of barristers
with this tribute: "Nowhere else
have we found warmer friends or
more steadfast allies for the right
cause, and if the lawyers were sud
denly taken out of the world a very
considerable vacancy would be ap
parent." Feeling the need of more cash
with which to pay schools, Judges'
salaries and other current expenses,
State Treasurer Sheatz has drafted
from 70 non-active depositories of
State funds $300,000, representing
20 per cent, of the State deposit.
This is the second draft of the year,
the other having been made last
winter. Almost all of the school
districts have been paid for the
present school year.
James Dailey, an iron worker at
Eanville, Saturday afternoon was
arrested and committed to jail for
the non-payment of tax. The ar
rest was made at the instance of the
retiring tax receiver, J. P. Bare, of
that place. Dailey owes three years'
tax. When approached on the sub
ject of tax his attitude was not of
the sort to inspire confidence in the
tax receiver and the man's arrest
followed.
It has developed in a series of
records, that former Senator J.
Donald Cameron never qualified as
a member of the Quay Monument
Commission, having neither filed
his oath nor lifted the commission,
the latter being still held at the
State Department.
Commissioners Lane and Moody
both lifted their commissions on
August 1, 1905. As they were not
confirmed by the extra session of
the Legislature their commissions
expired with that session, and they
were not reappointed.
Karl Bitter, the s-culntor. did not
turn up to take the Quay statue
out of hock and put it in the Capi
tol rotunda, and it remains in cold
storage.

An outbreak of diphtheria is
causing anxiety in the Second ward
of Danville. At present the disease
seems to be spreading in spite of
the precautions usually employed.
Because of new cases it has been
found necessary to fumigate school
rooms on several occasions. Diph
theria has been lurking in Danville
for some mouths. A member of
the school board expressed grave
concern and declared that in his
opinion the rules and regulations
controlling intercourse with the in
fected families ver3 not rigid
enough.
The public will learn with great
satisfaction that the Reading rail
road has started a campaign against
illegal car riders and proposes to
arrest and punish every one appre
hended, says the Milton Standard,
These offenders area menace to the
public in that their presence on
trains is responsible for many acci
dents that occur and the attendant
loss of life and property. Crimi
nals of all classes use the freights
to get from one point to another.
They not only afford them increas
ed opportunity to rob and commit
all mauntr of crimes but to escape
after they have been committed.
The railroad company is not only
doin a good thing for itself but for
the public when it set about to
break it up.

Hidden Wealth of India.
It Is estimated that $1,:.UO.OOO,000
In gold, and perhaps ns much In silver,
is hidden away in the Hindu stock
ings. Vast quantities of tho previous
metals are known to be kept In the
form of personal ornaments. ' From
time immemorial India has been a
reservoir into which the precious
metals have flowed from all quarters
of the globe, only to disappear from
statistics. Could the idlo wealth be
drawn upon the effect on the industrial
and commercial life of the country
would be very great. It Is, therefore,
n matter of concern to try to turn In
dia's dormant capital to active use. It
may be impossible to do it. The Ori
ent mind views everything In a way
incomprehensible to westerners. But
if only a tithe of the concealed hoards
of India were vitalized a new aspect
might be given to tho conditions of
life in England's great eastern em
pire. Peculiar Form of Craft.
Edwin F. Marvin, conductor of the
national division of tho Sons of Tem
perance, was discussing In Bridgeport,
Conn., a flagrant piece of bribery.
"Bribery, like a worm in fruit," he
said, "spoils all It enters. And what
won't It enter? A temperance society
In the middle west once had a splen
did lecturer, a reformed drunkard.
This lecturer, after a year or so, was
discharged. An admirer asked why
he had been released, and the socie
ty's president answered: 'Don't you
remember how he continually referred
to the lrrestible seductions of a cer
tain brand of beer, attributing his
downfall to It? Well, It turns out thut
the brewer paid hlra a quarter for
every time h rang in the beer'i
name.' "

HOT Arri.ICATIONS FOR KILMNfr
1SORKKS.
A York county fruit grower
wrote to State Zoologist Surface,
Harrisburg, inquiring whether he
had any experience in applying
boiling water around peach trees to
kill the borers. Professor Surface
r.1 plied:
"I beg to state that I have not
used water alone, but I have used
a boiling hot solution of caustic
soda in water, and I find that this
does the work when used in the
proportion of about one ounce ol
caustic soda or washing soda in
each gallon of boiling water. A
quart of this should be poured
around the base of each tree after
cleaning away the dirt and gum.
A quart of boiling hot water around
each tree would not injure it,
neither do I think that it would
kill tlvi borer. More than this might
prove injurious, but I do not know,
as I have not tried it. It is my
opinion that boiling water alone
will not kill borers.
"The best thing I have found is
to remove the dirt around the
trunks of the trees to a depth of
perhaps two inches, doing this from
the middle to the latter part of
June, and spray or wash the trunk
to a height of one to two feet and
down to the base of the tree as low
as possible, using thick boiled lime
sulphur wash, with a sediment of
lime in it, and then replace the soil
to its former level. This method in
my orchards this year has resulted
in less than one per cent, of the
trees being infested with borers."
APPLK LEAF RUST.
A box, containing fruit and
leaves taken from an apple tree, of
the Summer Rambo variety, was
sent from Perry county, to Profes
sor H. A. Surface, for an explana
tion as to the cause of the red rust
with which both fruit and leaves
were covered.
Professor Surface wrote iu reply:
"I have received and examined
the apple leaves which you sent to
us, and find these leaves infected
with the Apple Leaf Rust. This
disease, in order to come to perfec
tion, must live part of the year on
one kind of plant and part of the
time on another. The red cedar,
which is one species of juniper, is
known as the alternating host
Thus, if the red cedar trees be cut
down in your neighborhood, it will
help to suppress this pest. It sounds
at first like nonsense, to say that
the destruction of red cedar trees
will help to prevent apple pests:
but this particular fungus disease,
known as Rust or 'Red Rust of the
Apple,' cannot exist throughout
the year without having a season
in which it lives on the red cedar
! in the form of a little brown or
dark ball often seen thereon, and
commonly calleJ 'cedar apples.'
During a favorable time in sum
mer, little long filaments come out
of these cedar balls, or apples, and
produce a dust, which consists real
ly of great numbers of spores or
microscopical seeds. These are car
ried by the wind to the leaves and
fruit of the apple trees, where they
penetrate the tissue and cause the
disease you have seen. Spraying
apple trees with Bordeaux mixture
would also be found efficient in
preventing this disease and pre
serving the health of leaf aud fruit."
Work has been begun on the fine
new residence of William Loweu
berg on West Fourth street. John
