State, has another venture to make,
i little further ahead. He says that

Two more heathen foreigners of
Bernicc were recently brought to the
county seat and placed in jail to
await trial, charged with assault and
intent to kill one of their own tribe.
With this depraved element engaged
in mining at Bernicc, Sullivan coun
ty will have to increase its jail capac
ity and mortgage all its assetts to
defray the constantly increasing ex
penses created by the lawless element
brought in the county to add wealth
to mine operators.
There has been an invention by

firm belief of Richard B. Painter
a machinist of Williamsport. The
machinery will all be run by electric

made for the building of a large
steamer at New York, measuring
six hundred feet, on which the in
vention w ill first be tried.
The Department of Public Instruc
tion has complied the apportionment
to the various school districts of the
appropriation to the school fund for
this year and will on the first Mon
day of June begin the payment of
the funds. To the regular appropri
ation is added this year to the last
quarter of the special appropriation
jof *1,000,0H0 made by the last Leg is

j ed from the fund by < iovernor Stone.

At u meeting of State Live Stock
Sanitary Board held on May 21, re
ports were relieved relative to the
investigation whieh is being con
ducted by the board for the protec
tion of cattle from tuberculosis by
vaccination.
State Veterinarian Dr. Leonard
Pearson and Dr. S. 11. (iilland have l
been conducting experiments in the j
endeavor to ascertain whether cattle j
can be immuned from the disease by
means of vaccination. These experi
ments have developed the fact that
vaccinated cattle exposed for a year
to daily contact with animals effect
ed with the disease did not contract
it while those which had not been
vaccinated readily became affected.
Calves of infected cows are now be
ing vaccinated and left with their
diseased mothers. They are allowed
to use the parent milk for the pur
pose of ascertaining whether vaccin
ation will approve all'ective under
these conditions. It is generally
conceded that unvaccinated calves
raised with cattle infected with tub
erculosis contract the diseace.
The public school teachers' minim
um salary law, enacted by the last
legislature, goes into effect on the
first of June next. A thorough can
vass of every county in tin' state
shows that :i,BOO school teachers,
over nine-tenth of them women, will
receive substantial increase in salary
during the coming term as the result
of the operation of the law. Nearly
$750,0(111 as additional remuneration
will he received by the teachers dur
ing the next term as the result of
this increase. 1 n nine-tenths of the
districts there will he no increases of
taxation on this account.
The law provides that after the
first day of June, the minimum sal
ary of the teachers shall be s.'}"> per
month. It is made the duty of the
president and secretary of each school
district in the state, under oath to
make report to the Superintendent
of Public Instruction that the requi
rements of law have been fully com
plied with. The last section provides
that "every school district of the
commonwealth, failing to comply
with the requirement of this act,
shall forfeit its state appropriation
for the whole time during which
this act has been violated.
A western man was recently tried
for assault and battery with intent
to kill. The state brought into
court of the weapons used, a rail, ax,
gun, a pair of tongs, saw and rifle.
The defendent's counsel exhibited as
the other man's weapons a scythe,
pitchfork, pistol, dog, razor and hoe.
'fhe jury decided the case as follows:
"We, the jury, would have, given a
dollar to have seen the light."
Mr. Irvin Died in Williamsport-
Mr W. 11. Irvin, the well-known
temperance lecturer, and who has
been heard in lectures several times
in Laporte, was taken ill suddenly
last Thursday, since which time his i
mind has been a blank.
While driving through wildwood ,
cemetery seated in a buggy by the!
side of his wife, Mr. Irvin after an
uncommonly long silence, jumped
from the vehicle and without utter- j
ing a word, commenced to disrobe!
himself. Mis wife induced him to j ■
return to the buggy and drove home I
where with the assistance of some '
men who responded to her call,!'
managed to get her husband into the 1
house. Later he was taken to the
hospital where it was found necesMi
ry to strap him to the bed to prevent
him from doing injury to himself.
The vcteransof Laporte and vicin
ity extend their heartfelt thanks to
the speakers, choir, Sunday school,
citizens and the public in general for
their geneious assistance in our Mem
orial services, and in decorating our
deceased comrades graves.
