The cases of hydrophobia or rabies
that have been reported In different parts
or tlie State recently have prompted
Commissioner of Health, Samuel G.
Dixon, to call attention to an act passed
by the last legislature, which act soems
to be apparently little known. It pro
vides for furnishing trestmont lo needy
persons who have been bitten by mad
dogs and roads as follows: "That In each
and every county of this Commonwealth
it shall be the duty of the proper officers
of tio several poor districts, iu such
counties, to provide all lioedy parsons,
who may be bittou by dogs suffering
from hydrophobia or rabies, with the
proper medical attention to prevent the

Just now, merchants, tradesmen,
newspaper publishers and others are
sending out statement) to their custom
ers, and asking for payment for goods
furnished, or work done. No one ought
to lake any offense at receiving a bill.
They bad the goods or the service, and
tbey ought to pay for It. A bill ought to
be paid as soon as It is' received, or as
soon as funds will permit. It is often a
favor to get credit, aud it should be
pleasure to pay the bill at the earliest
convenience. When you get a bill just
put yourself In your creditor's place for
a brief time, and then do what you would
have your debtor do for you. Ex.
Archibald Black, one of Barnott
township's oldest citizens, died on tbo
7th Inst., of infirmities Incident to age.
The deceased bad been an invalid for the
past 18 months and was confined to bis
bed most of that time. He became blind
and deaf about four years ago, which
seems to be a family ailment. He was a
member of the Roman Catbolio church at
Crown, from which he was burled on
Wednesday. Ho is survived by five
sons, his wife having diod some two
years ago. He was aged about 83 years,
and was a brother of Daniel Black, well
known to our citizens, and who Is now
living with bia daughter at Jamestown,

A Missouri exchange thus bids fare
well lo a departed citizen: "He was a
man of push. He played marbles for
keeps when a boy, and cheated all bis
playmates out of their alloys; he swapped
a bladeless knife, sight unseen, for a
four-blador, sold that for fifty cents,
bought a pound of sugar aud some lem
ons and made a barrel of lemonade, which
be sold on circus day for $ri. He started
in business and sold bad meat for choice
cuts aud made a fortune. When be got
$1,000 be organized a company with one
million dollars capital, mostly water,
sold the stock at par, and when the com
pany burst it was found that he bad sold
out some time before. When be died he
was a millionaire and left it all here. It
is warm where be is now."
Man? friends and. acquaintances of
John C, Lowen of Tltusville, for many
years a commercial traveler through this
section, will be pained to learn of the
death of bis wife, which occurred at Lake
side hospital, Cleveland, O., on Friday
last, whore she had been taken by her
husband for treatment but a fow days
prior. Of this estimable woman the Tl
tusville Herald says: "The death of Mrs.
Lowen romoves from this life a woman
whose friends were limited only by the
number of her acquaintances. Kind and
generous, her daily life was a blessing to
all around her. Her death falls with
crushing effoct upon the members of ber
family, who have the sympathy of the
outlre community. Mrs, Lowen was a
faithful member of the First M. E,
church and that society will deeply feel
the loss of an ernest worker. Her age
was 43 year. With the bereaved bus
band are left four children, three daugh
ters, the Misses Harriett, Frances and
Olive, afid one son, H. Dower Lowen.
She is also survived by ber parents, Mr.
aud Mrs. A. J. Dower,
Commissioner of Health. Samuel O.
Dixon, bas decided to establish as soon
as possible in connection with the De
partment, a bacteriological and chemical
laboratory. This will ensile the physi
cians of the State and especially those In
the rural districts to take advantage ol
the most advanced methods of diagnosing
their cases by having blood counts made
by examinations for the microorganisms
that produce tuberculosis, diphtheria, ty
phoid fever, malaria and other diseases.
The Health Commissioner states that be
will get the now laboratory in operation
and be ready to receive specimens from
the physicians of the State at as early a
dato as possiblo as he appreciates the
wonderful opportunity for more thor
ough work that will be afforded medical
practitioners. The State Department of
Health will be able to make its own ex
aminations of wator when trying to find
the original source of infection in the
typhoid outbreaks that are so frequent
throughout the State and in many other
ways the new laboratory will be of as
sistance to the Commissioner and the
physicians of tho State in improving the
health ol the people,
The meetings during the Week of
Prayer have been well attonded, and a
deep interest manifested on the part of
many peoplo. Sabbath morning the at
tendance at the Presbyterian church was
large and the meeting spiritual. There
was a large aud enthusiastic congregation
at the M. E. church last Sabbath eve
ning. The praise service which preceded
the service proper, was especially good,
The meeting was like a happy family
gathering, Tho two churches are con
tinuing their united effort this week and
a cordial invitation is extended to all to
attend tho services. Announcement was
made that a popular meeting would be
bold on Sabbath evening, to which all

are as follows: Wednesday, evening,
Presbyterian church; Thursday evening,
M. K. church; Friday evening, Presby
terian church. Yon are invited.' Where?
To the evangelistic services announced
above. When? Each evening tbia week.

A remarkable freak of tbe animal
kingdom seen at Mayburgl
Our entire town appears to be at the
highest pitch oi excitement over a re
markably bold and ferocious animal of
some unknown species which bas taken
up Its abode Dear our town. It will sud
denly and unexpectedly appear at some
section ol tbe town, commit some depre
dation and as suddenly vanish again. It
is said to. resemble a dog, only more
lenghty of limb.
It first made its appearance to Chas.
Desbner, a noted hunter aud bear trap
per, but when this new and un-namable
creature appeared before him bia nerve
gave way. He fired a rather random
shot and tbe ferocious beast disappeared.
It next stealthily and suddenly ap
peared before James Klernan, a man
employed in tbe lumber yard at this
place. Although Jim has seen some of
tbe world aud bas bad some hair-breadth
escapes, this was too much for him, and
be funned a truce with tbe animal at
once, declaring be would not hurt tbe
beast if it would be so gracious as to
spare bis life.
Tbe third person to witness this feline
creature was John Brennan, senior mem
ber of the firm of John U. Brennan &
Co., photographers of this place. Mr.
Brennan was wending bis way borne
from their gallery when this bloodthirsty
animal blocked bis pathway and gave
forth such an unearthly scream as to
raise Mr. Brennan'a hair all on end.
John is of the "true blue" stripe, but
tbia was a new and strange experience
for him, and he bas been somewhat ner
vous ever since.
It is hoped that the infuriated beast
will be captured or caused to retreat to
some unfrequented cave in tbe woods
and never more return. Snow Ball.

Can be fitted out in a Warm, Stylish, Serviceable Overcoat for very
little money.
The Overcoats are just as good now as they wero two months ago,
aud half the winter is yet to come. The prices we put on these gooda
early in the season were low en lUfrli in all reason. Our ordinary
profits aro small; our regular way of soiling is as fair as any buyer
could ak; hut iif'tvr the firat of the year W" face tho problem of sell
ing all Overcoats left or carrying them over to another, wiuter. We
haven't room to store them. We lose if we keep thorn, and we must
lose if we eel I them.
We are ICeariy to Take Our I..oh Xow if We Can
Turn 4 'outs Into Ikollurs.
Tho money lied up iu this nureliaiidiso will pay in advance lor
spring purchases and entitle us to spi't-ial en-li discounts.
it requires hetoic measures to move piods at this season. We
must make prices that will interest the light ptirsn and the shrewd,
close figuring buyer. We roekoti 'oiks will come for the goods if the
price is low enough.
