Probably the census to be taken
this year will show about 200,000
more farmers than at the time of
the census ten years ago, and the
total should be about 6,000,000
farms and the corresponding num
ber of people employed in agricul
tural pursuits. Any increase in
number is owing, not only to new
farms taken up, but to further di
vision of farms in the other sec
tions. Authorities of Washington and
Jefferson College at Wash
ington are stirred by a charge made
in a recent issue of a college maga
zine that students of the school are
addicted to the use ot drugs. The
heads of the college are conducting
an investigation. No victims were
found as the resnlt of one test al
though some suspected students
were asked point blank if they were
guilty. President Moffat will take
up the investigation personally to
day although he has no faith in the
truth of the charges.
FOUR YEAR COURSE AT NORMAL.
At the recent meeting at Harris
burg of the principals of the State
Normal Schools the question of ad
ding another year to the teachers'
course was discussed. No definite
conclusion was reached, although
the sentiment greatly favored the
change. The purpose is to afford
more time for a more thorough
treatment of required subjects,
rather than for the purpose of
broadening the curri'Uiluni.
CRAFTSMAN BEAT WHEELMEN.

Sunbury May Boom.
That the Pennsylvania Railroad
company is planning to erect large
shops, either at the Sunbury shop
site or near the big Enola yards is
the information from an official
source. In case Sunbury is selected
the Baltimore and Elmira shops
will both be removed to that place.
If Ivnola is selected the two big
shops will go to that point.
Tbe consolidation of these shops
with the Sunbury shops would
mean that 7,000 hands would be
employed there, the official said,
and that the shops when completed
would be as large as the monster
shops at Altoona. New locomotives
would be built as well as a general
line of repair work such as is done
at the three shops.

MINE ACCIDENTS.
The Annual Fatalities a Little Over
Sixteen Hundred.
Government reports show that in
thirteen years, beginning with r8o6,
and ending with 1908, there were
22,716 sacrificed in the coal mines
of the country. In the year 1908,
2,450 miners were killed and 6,772
injured. While the 1909 statistics
are not available, the miue disas
ters were equally calamitous as in
previous years, the Cherry, Illinois,
horror being still fresh in the mem
ory. Naturally the facts have led
to much discussion as to providing
effectual means of prevention and
also of facilities for rescue and for
ready escape from perils of this
sort. While a great deal has been
done to safeguard the lives of min
ers, it is evident that neither here
nor abroad has mining been made as
.afe as is desirable Some of the great
est tragedies in the way of explo
sions and consequent loss of life
last year occurred in foreign lands.
Our country, on the whole, is as
progressive in this matter as any of
its contemporaries in some re
spects probably more so. The
states in which mining is most ex
tensively carried on have laws in
tended to m.ike conditions as safe
as is practicable, considering the
inevitable chances that must be
taken in this sort of work, yet
meat disasters occur. Governor
Deneen, of Illinois, moved by re
cent happenings, has sent to the
Legislature of that state a message
in which he recommends the estab
lishment of rescue stations at points
in cloe proximity to the mines
He believes, no doubt with excel
lent reason, that such stations
would be of invaluable service as a
means of affording prompt aid in
c:-se of accident. In fact, tho ex
perimental work already done un
der the direction of the United
States Geological Surveys, which
has a training school at Pittsburg,
has shown what can be accom
plished. Another bill, suggested
by the State Mining Commission,
and also approved by Governor
Deneeu, would establish miners'
and mechanics' institutes in which
men could be thoroughly instruct
ed in the technique of mining.
Scores of accidents occur through
the ignorance of miners themselves,
who, with better understanding of
the forces with which they have to
deal might learn to avoid much of
the danger which now they too of
ten directly invite.
Profit in Old Money.
In the redemption of gold and sil
ver coins and paper money Uncle
Sam makes a profit. While he
loses a little by erosion on the coins,
he more than makes up the differ
ence by redeeming paper currency
While the exact amount is not
stated, it is known that with every
redemption of paper money Uncle
Sam comes out ahead.
About 40 years ago the Govern
ment called in the little war shin
plasters, yet during all this period
and from various sources there
have been coming back to the
Treasury Department for redemp
tion thousands of the so-cent,
25-cent, 10-cent and 5-cent issues
of paper. Millions of them.
Treasury officials say, are still out.
According to the most accurate
accounting, $15,236,721.28 worth
of these shin-plasters were issued,
in 1862, 1863 and 1864. Congress,
in 1S79, decided that $8,375,934
worth of these bills had been lost
or destroyed.
Law Doesn't Protect Fowls.
A fanner in New York State
brought suit to recover value of
some of his fowls that had been
run over and decapitated by a
speeding automobile on a back couu
try road. The Court held that under
the highway law in relation to stray
fowis on any public thoroughfare,
even in front of the residence of
the owner, these are not only un
protected from such an accident as
being killed by a motor car, but
mav be taken and impounded the
same as cattle, horses or sheep.
Owners or drivers of automobiles
are not liable for the value of
noiiltrv that mav be run over and
killed on a public highway. The
owner must take the risk of acci
dental loss.

Has Killed 100 Foxes.
William Seierfried. a well-known
hunter, who resides at the foot of
the Nescopeck Mountain, in Lu
irra .rniintv. On Saturday shot
two foxes, which totals 100 hot
during his lifetime in that vicinity.
Some time sgo, when he had dis
patched his seventy-fifth fox, he
registered a vow that he would kill
100 foxes if his life was spared,
and on Saturday his wish was grat
ified. He has killed eight foxes so
far this wiuter.
BISHOP FOSS DIES.
Widoly Known M. E. Clergyman Suc
cumbs to Stroke of Paralysis.
Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, one of
the most widely known Bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
died last Satniday night at 8:40
o'clock, in the Hahnemann hos
pital at Philadelphia after a ten
days' illness, following a stroke of
paralysis. The end came quietly,
as expected.
The fatal attack which made
Bishop Foss helpless and only half
conscious since January 18, occur
red when he was riding in an Arch
street trolley car. His entire right
side was affected.
Vaudevillo at the Columbia.
The Columbia Theatre which is
on the circuit of the Aarons As
sociated Theatres with head offices
in the Knickerbocker Theatre
Building, 1402 Broadway, New
Ycrk City, has as an attraction on
February 2 and 3 for two nights,
the first of a number of high-class
vaudeville and moving picture
shows which are now being organ
ized to appear regularly and ex
clusively in this circuit of theatres.
These shows will consist of several
first class vaudeville acts and the
latest moving pictures, with two
performances each night, lasting
an hour and a half each.
As a guarantee of the class of
entertainment to be furnished the
patrons of these companies, the
vaudeville acts will be composed
only of acts that are members of
the White Rats of America, the
leading vaudeville organization in
the United States, and the pictures
will be selected from the latest and
best films to be bad.
Each company will appear here
from two to three nights and as
often as the patronage requires.
The price ot admission will be
5-10-20 cents.
These attractions will be known
as the Aarons Associated Theatre
Vaudeville and moving picture
Companies, and it is the aim and
intention of the management to
produce only clean, up-to-date and
meritorious shows, thereby secur
ing tbe confidence of the public
and assuring liberal attendance in
all Vaudeville and moving picture
shows appearing at the Columbia
in this town and other theatres on
the Aarons Associated Theatre cir
cuit. Too Much Cash !
Full as an old straw tick, the
county treasury is stuffed with
greenbacks and checks, says a de
spatch from Cleveland. Money of
all descriptions lies around on coun
ters and shelves. County Treasur
er Myers would be violating the
law if he placed the cash in a bank,
and in the meantime hundreds of
thousands of dollars paid in to him
as a result of the December tax
collection is protected only by the
stanchuess of an old safe, ordinary
oak doors and a watchman.
Under the law, only a portion ot
the money can be deposited in
banks, and as that amount is
already on deposit, the balance
must remain at the Court house.
Myers is denied the privilege of
putting the money in a bank for
the reason that no provision is
made for receiving interest on
funds in excess of the amount
named in the contracts with banks,
and no money can be deposited that
does not draw interest. The treas
urer cannot receive the interest and
then make tbe county a present of
the earnings because, under the
law, he would be acting without
authority and might be convicted
of conversion.

TRIED REMEDY
FOR THE GRIP.
A Cheery, Optimistic Magazine.
A cheery, optimisti" tone is char
acteristic of I.ippincott s Magazine,
and the February issue is 110 ex
ception to the general rule. The
number opens with a long and in
tensely powerful detective story by
that versatile genius, Carolyn
Wells. The new tale is entitled
"The Gold Bag," and it is fully up
to the standard of its famous pred
ecessor by this author "The
Clue," which has been one of the
most successful books of the sea
son. "The Gold Bag" deals with
a murder mystery, and is told in
the first person by a young detec
tive, who despite his own astute
ness, finds it necessary to call on
that past master of deduction,
Fleming Stone, a character which
has figured in other detective sto
ries by Miss Wells. Numerous
clues are in turn run down, but all
lead to blind alleys until the re
markable Mr. Slant succeeds in
nosing out the true scent. Bright,
snappy dialogue and a love affair
add interest to the narrative.
Another big feature is "Educa
tion Outside of Books," the second
of an important series of six papers
on "What is Wrong with Our Pub
lic Schools," by Joseph M.Rog
ers. The first of these articles, in
January issue, attracted wide at
tention, and they will udoubtedly
accomplish great good. Shorter
articles "St. Valentine's," by
Thomas L. Masson; "Interpreting
the Airship," by Clifford Howard;
'The Water-Power and Coal Com
bines," by Willard French, and
"The Decline in Poetry," by Ellis
O. Jones will be found in the de
partment "vVays of the Hour."
Among the short stories is "The
Legacy," a delightful Scotch tale
by J. J. Bell, author of "Wee Mac
greegor." Marion Hill who wrote
that entertaining book, "The Pet
tison Twins," contributes "On So
ciety's Fringe," a funny story
about a very human small boy.
Other good ones are "A Second
Adam," by Thomas L. Masson;
"Her Heart's Desire," by Sarah
Chichester Page; and "The Birth
of a King," by Jane Belford.
'The Tug That Stood .By,'' by
John Trevor Custis, is an original
sketch which also deserves mention.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox, John Ken-
drick Bangs, Chester Firkins, and
Mahlon Leonard Fisner are among
the poets represented 111 this praise
worthy issue of Lippincotf s. Then
there's "VValuuts and Wine," of
course.
