FILTERED WATER IS FREE FROM TYPHOID. Report for Janvary Shows Water Com- pany’s Produet to He in Excel. lent Condition. The Sayre Water company have re- ceived a report from Dr Mazyck P. Ravenel, Bacteriologist, Philadelphia, giving results of his examination of samples of water collected by his as- sistant Janaury 20th at Sayre A number of injurious bacteria were found in the raw river water. but all samples of filtered water were of good quality and absolutely free from typhoid or other oljectionable bac- teria It would seem advisable, in view of .Dr. Ravenel's report, to refrain from drinking either raw river water or well water in this locality, unless properly filtered or boiled, and also be careful In the use of ice cut on the river or any pound liable to con- tamination from drainage BOROUGH COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT. The Sewer Proposition Will Again Be on the Carpet. There will be a special meeting of the borough council this evening in the Packer hose rooms, at which time the sewer question will again come up for discussion, and there Is a strong proabllity that the matter will be finally disposed of. The contracts with the Lehigh Valley, which on the part of the latter allow the sewer to pass under their tracks, have been signed and unless there are new ob- jections to the proposition there seems to be nothing In the way of a final settlement of the matter, “ The Volunteer Organist.” Much homely humor Is found in Wm. B. Gray's beautiful new produc- tion, “The Volunteer Organist” Its characters being drawn from a lo cality in Vermont that seems to be quite zpart from the rest of the world are many of them, rare studies. The ecentricities of the rural Ver- monters are, while cleariy drawn, not one whit exaggerated. Like the Irishman, the bumor of the Vermonter is spontaneous and It bubbles out in unexpected places at unlooked-for times so that one is actually at a loss as to whether each succeeding line in the play is to cause one to* laugh with glee or to let one's sympathy go out to some of the other charac- ters. Patrons of the Loomis will have an opportunity of witnessing the piece at the opera house tonight For Your Sewlug Machine. Just when you need sewing machine supplies you want them at once.

There are those who have implicit confidence in the story, and if the sun shines on the 2d day of February, they will tell you that the ensuing six weeks will be marked by severely cold weather. Others, however, laugh at the idea and place it in the same category with other superstitions that have been proven fallicies. P. RB. RB. RAISES AGE LIMIT. Man of 45 Can Now Get Employment With the Company. Any competent man up to 45 years of age can now oblaln employment with the Pennsylvnala Railroad Co providing, of course, there are ans vacancies, a thing thot has never heen possible before. Since the organization of the com- pany 35 years has been the age limit at which one might enter the service The regulations have been changed. The new move opens the way for men on other lines who have gained reputations for carefulness, which is only made possible by long exper fence, to obtain positions on the Pean aylvania. The raising of the age limit will necessitate some changes in the pen sion rules, the details of which wiil be worked out as soou as possible UNKNOWN MAN WAS STRUCK BY ENGINE. Ran Away Immediately After Being Struck and Evidently Was Not Seriously Injured. Last night Lehigh Valley engine In charge of Hostler McGee struck a man on the ash track, but as the man ran away after having been hit by the lo- comotive it is not thought that he was very seriously injured. The man was walking along tha track and evidently did not hear the engine approaching He was struck by the pllot beam and knocked down. His dinner pall was found by the hostler, but the man went away so quickly that his name was not even learned She Caught Him. A certalu lady suspected that her husband was In the habit of kissing the cook, a pretty German girl, by the by, ani resolved to detect him in the act. After watching four days she heard him come in one evening, gent- ly pass through the kitchen. Now, Katie was out that evening and the kitchen was dark. Burning with jeal- ousy, the wife took some matches in her hand, and hastily placing her shaw! over her head, as Katie often did, she entered the kitchen by the back door, and was almost lmmed- {ately seized and embraced and kissed in the most ardent manner. With her beart almost bursting with rage and jealousy, tle Injured wife prepared to administer a terrible rebuke to her faithful spouse, Tearing herself from his embrace, she struck a match and stood face to face with Katie's beau, one of the factory boys. Her husband says his wife has never treated him 50 well since the first month they were married as she has the past week. The sleigh bells jingled merrily yesterday. The roads are said to le excellent in the country. STEEL HAND SLEDS EACH.

The management of the Record will esteem it a favor if subscribers will report any and all fallures on the part of the carriers to dellver papers regularly. A radical change has re- cently been made In the system of de- livering papers by the carrier boys and the management in order to as- certaln how the new system Is work- ing must be informed by the subsecrib- ers if they are not receiving their papers regularly. Therefore, If you fail to recelve your paper teach us by telephone, send a messenger, a postal card, Or call In person and enter your complaint We will then endeavor to get the matter straigh- tened out to your entire satisfac- tion. The Record Is published for the readers, and the management wants each subscriber lo get the pa- per with regularity. In order, how- ever, to dellver a paper at your door for the sum of twenty-five cents per month it is necessary to depend upon boys to do the work. It is not al- ways possible to employ reliable boys and that is the reason we want all failures to deliver reported at this office Po Not Fall to Hear Dr. Hannan. Rev. F. W. Hannan, D.
