The Pennsylvania has revived an old
order about baullug intoxicated persons
on Its passenger trains. The order was
Issued several years ago and was to the
effect that auy person found to be under
the Influence of liquor should not be al
lowed to enter a train. Whether the or
dor had gradually been forgitten or
whether some accident occurred to make
its reissue necessary Is not known, but it
hs recently been reissued. Intoxicated
men are often boisterous and the railroad
officers fear that not only will annoyance
be caused to tbe conductor and trainmen
by tbe person Insisting on going from
coach to coach, but that there la annoy
ance to other passongers aud there is
danger of Buch a man being thrown from
the platform or stepping from It at a sta

train after it has Btarted.

It is Bald that during the huntingaoa

were accidentally killed and seventy

Michigan bail the the largost number of

teen, was second, and Pennsylvania must
have been a mighty close third. Where
the statistics come from, or as tj their
accuracy we do not know, but if correct
It shows that about one out of a million
lose their lives during the hunting sea-
Bon. The percentage does not seem
large, but since tbe killings are largely
the result of recklessness or ignorance

seem that the rate might be very much
reduced by prohibiting fools from carry

-The Commissioners of - Venango
county are preparing for tbe holding of
winter primaries under tbe new law In
tbe cities of Franklin and Oil City, but
advise that all townships and boroughs
make their nominations for tbe February
elections in the manner usually followed
by tbe several party organizations, pro
vision In the new law allowing this to be
done at the winter primaries. This seems
to be the sensible course, and the one
which the Commissioners of Forest
county believe should prevail in tnis
county. Tbe new law Is both cumber
some and vague, and for towns-hips and
boroughs is a nuisance so far as the hold
ing of primaries for tbe nomination of
candidates for the February, election Is
concerned, and we are of the opinion no
considerable number of voters will care
to have It adoptod for that purpose. Al
the spring primaries, when candidates
for the general election are to be nomi
nated, the system, being less complex
and less expensive, will doubtless prove
quite satisfactory to the voters.
Father of Mrs. K. L. Hatigli Meets
Violent Death.
Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Ilaugb, of Nebras
ka, this county, were apprised late Fri
day evening of the death by accident of
Mrs. Haugh's father, Wl,lliain H. Mc
Aninch, In a flouring mill at New Beth
lehem, Clarion county. He was a resi
dent of Brookvllle, aud a dispatch from
that place to the dally Spirit, at Punxsu
tawuey, Saturday morning, gives the fol
lowing particulars of tbe sad affair:
"Death In frightful form came to Will
iam H. McAnlnch, a prominent resident
of this place and a retired flouring mill
man, when he fell down an elevator shaft
in the mill of George L. Reed, at New
Bethlehem, shortly after five o'clock last
evening. Just how the accident hap
pened no person seems to know, for none
saw him fall and those In the mill were
only aware of the accident when his life
less form was found at the bottom of the
shaft. Mr. McAnlnch, although having
rotired from tbe flouring 'business some
time aito, had consented to go to the New
Bethlehem mill and help during a rush
of work. Something went wrong with
the elevator In the mill yesterday after
noon and the unfortunate man went to
the third floor to make some repairs.
Later bis body was found at the bottom
of the shaft, a distance of twenty-nine
feet. Phvsicians who examined the
body claim that death must have resulted
InBtautly, as the bead was crushed, and
It is thought that the neck was broken."
The deceased waa a brother of tbe late
Rev. J. V. McAnlnch, with whom, and
his daughter at Nebraska, be had otten
been a visitor, and had formed a number
of favorable acquaintanceships both in
Tionesta and Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs.
Haugh left for Brookvllle Saturday
morning and were, present at tbe funeral
cn Sunday, which was conducted by
Rev, J. T. Adams. The deceased was
about 63 years old, an active member of
tbe United Presbyterian church, and a
very highly esteemed citizen in the com
munity in which he had made bis home
for many years. Besides Ills wife and
Mrs. Haugh, he is survived by two sons,
Jay and Lewis. He is also survived by
his aged mother, who resides with her
daughter, Mrs. Mary Krlbbs, Sunset,

The Observer gives the following ac
count of the contemplated erection of an
extensive lumbering plant in the town
ofSbeflield:
"During the past week a corps of sur
veyors have i'66n running lines and
grades for the location of a large saw mill
to be built at this place the coming sum
mer by the Central Pennsylvania Lum
ber Company. The plot of ground con
taining over one hundred acres on which
the ball park is located bas Veen secured
for the mill plant, and will be cleaned of
brush aud a railroad built to it as soon as
possible. From tbe officials of the com
pany we learn that tbe plans Include tbe
building of a double band mill, with re
saw, having a oapaclty of about fifty mil
lion feet of lumber per year. The build
ing is to be of concrete and as near fire
proof as It is possible to make it. Tbe
machinery will be of the latest design
and the power will be electricity, each
machine having an Individual or inde
pendent dynamo. It will be the best
built and equipped mill in Pennsylvania.
Tbe mill will give employment to at
least a hundred men, and the plans in
clude the building of houses for their ac
commodation. The company owns large
tracts of timber lands In this vioinity
enough it is estimated to supply me pro
posed mill with logs for fifteen or twenty
years. The company also owus the T.
V. Ry., and the logs will be brought to
the mill by rail. Since this company
was formed and took over tbe timber in
terests of the tanniug companies it has
been known that a large mill for Shef
field was contemplated, and now we are
told that tills town is to have the best
saw mill plant in the state, and as soon as
It can be conveniently built.

A number of residents of Mansfield are
looking Into the matter of organizing an
insurance compauy in town for the pur
pose of insuring village property. It is
said $10,000 are paid out each year in
Mansfield for Insurance, and the losses
for tbe past twenty years have not ex
ceeded what it costs the residents in pre
miums for one year. The existing rates
are altogether too h'gb In this borough,
the water protection considered. Tbe
idea is to organize on a plan similar to
tbatof tbe Grange Fire Insurance Com
pany. There is no doubt that a company
along the lines suggested would be very
successful and save the people hundreds
of dollars a year. As the matter now
stands, you pay whether there are any
losses by fire or not. With the proposed
new company in operation, you would
pay only when some member sustains a
loss, and your protection would be fully
as adequate as It now is at tbe hands of
the old line companies. Tbe cost of or
ganization would be small, and there
would be no heavily salaried president or
other officers.-Mansfield (Pa.) Advertiser.
Here Is an idea that is worthy tbe care
ful consideration of the people of Tio
nesta. IuBurance rates in this borough
are enormous, aud instead of diminishing
since tbe installation of our water system
and rather superior facilities for fighting
fire, tbe rates have been heavily Increased,
a still further increase having been made
within tbe past year. Thousands of dol
lars are paid out annually in fire insur
ance premiums ny iionesia resiuonis,
which, if paid Into a general fund, would,
In a half dozen years, or less, provide for
any ordinary contingency that might
arise from fire loss, and still have money
left. In a short time the rates could be
cut In two twice from what we are now
paying. A dollar saved is two dollars
earned, they Bay, and on this basis the
introduction of a home insurance com
pany would be about the best institution
or enterprise that could be added to our
town at the present time. What do you
think of 11?

SPREAD OF DISEASES.
Germs Often Carried In Milk Bottles.
Necessity of Cleanness.
Tbe householder should work band in
band with tbe milk man to prevent his
bottles and cans from becoming Infected
with the germs of typhoid fever and other
communicable diseases and thus spread
ing tbe infection. State Health Commis
sioner Samuel G. Dixon insists upon
this precaution in speaking of general
methods of combatting disease.-
The commissioner states that the de
partment finds frequeut exa nptes of the
spread of typhoid fever and other dis
eases through carelessness in the han
dling of milk containers.
"For Instance," says Dr. Dixon, "there
will be handed out from a bouse infected
with typhoid fever, diphtheria, or scarlet
fever an empty milk bottle in wbloh lurk
the deadly germs. The milk man places
this in bis crate which be afterwards uses
for bis next day's supply. Indeed, tbe
mere handling of tbe bottle from the In
fected house makes it exceedingly proba
ble that the milk man will spies J the
germs of disease to the rest of his bottles
and cans.
"It is therefore the duty of the person
in whose home there is a case of com
municable disease to see to it that before
tbe Individual milk bottle is returned to
the milk man to thorougly cleaoseit.
This can be done by first rinsing it wifh
cold water and afterwards scalding.
"The milk man on bis part should
never refill a bottle until be bas passed it
throngb his cleansing apparatus at his
establishment. When milk 1b delivered
from a large can luto pitchers or other
vessels handed out from a house, tbe
milk man should not handle such vessel,
but should pour tbe milk out of his can
without permitting it to touch the cus
tomer's container, and without touching
it with his hands or bis measure.
'These seem like very simple precau
tions and they are, but only those who
make a constant study of the causes of
epidemics realize how essential the obser
vation of these cautionary measures - are
for the protection of tbe public health.
Just a very little oare often prevents a
very great amount of sickness and death."

To send a card asking for our catalog,

tbe students who attend The State Nor
mal at Indiana, and it may be the turnlug
point in the life of your son or daughter.
An education obtained in a good normal
school fits for life and business, as do
other schools, but its diploma has a pe
culiar legal value that should not be
overlooked; it makes Its possessor a le
gally qualified teacher in the Stale for
life.
None of us can look very far luto tbe
future. Your daughter may not need to
teach now, and may lay her normal di
ploma away, neyer intending to use it,
But some disaster later In life may make
it necessary for her to earn her living,
and that diploma would prove her most
valuable possession. Is it not best to) be
educated In aBcbool whose diploma has
such value?
