The election of Hon. John G.

shown by his expense account filed

The town of Tivoli was visited
by a destructive fire Wednesday
morning, a large hotel and three
framed dwellings being reduced to
ashes. The loss partially insured
will run perhaps in the neighbor
hood of 010,000. The fire started
on the roof of a shed near one of
the houses that was burned, a spark
from a portable mill being respon
sible for the blaze.
The hotel, a three-story frame
building, was conducted by Mrs.
David Marks. Two of the dwelling
houses were owned by Mrs. Win,
Pedigree and the other by Jonathan
Miller. The occupants of the
buildings were able to save some
of their furniture.
Dr. W.J. Tomlinson of William
sport has just completed a trip
through Sullivan and Lycoming
counties, where he examined a
large number of herds of cattle in
search for outbreaks of apt lions
fever. No such cases were found,
but bog cholera was found at Pens
dale, Muncy Valley and Eagles
Mere. This disease, which has
already killed a large number of
hogs, is fully as contagious as the
dreaded apthous, but has no effect
on wan. Cholera usually kills the
hogs within a short time and if
they are buried immediately the
danger of the disease is greatly
eliminated. Dr. Tomlinson states
that it is not likely that the epidem
ic of apthous fever will spread to
this county, as it is now being held
in check in the various parts of the
state, very few cases being report
ed.
Eight billion dollars worth of
crops is the estimate of tiie Secretary
of Agriculture for the yield of the
farms of the United States this year.
It is a fine total. lint as an indi
cation of what the farmer gets for
his work the fact that the-e were 111,
300,000 persons engaged in agri
culture by the census of 11)00, and
probably several hundred thousand
more now, it indicates that the
average man in that industry had
somewhat less than £BOO a year out
of which to buy material, live and
pay expenses. This permits an in
ference that late representation of
the farmers as rolling in wealth are
examples of drawing on the emugi
nation for statements of fact.
Miss Tena Mulnix who spent
several months with Mr. and Mrs.
A. F. Heess, has returned to her
home at Lincoln Falls. Miss Mul
nix is preparing to take a teacher's
examination in York State, also
an examination with a correspon
dence school.
j One of ihc best invettmentsa man
who hits boys cit i make is a g•> set
of tools and a handy an 1 comfortable
shop iu which they can be used. It
is not necessary to have an outfit for
j doing line, intricate work, hut there
l to htj saws, planes hammer,
j brace and hitts, augurs, files, wire
: pliers and a few other simple and
' handy things, and they should be of
good quality. Then there ought to
jbe a room in which a bench with a
! vice could beset up and it should
I contain a stove, so that it could be
I made comfortable.
This costs some money of course
but it will givr> the boys a chance to
develop their ingenuity, keep them
out of mischief, and they will soon,
if they are inclined to mechanics,
make the shop pay in the repairs
they will make to the farm tools.
If it does nothing but keep the
boys away from a company of idl
ers, where corrupting talk is indulg
ed in and where vicious habits are
formed, it will pay. In planning
for the welfare of boys the wise
father does not consider too closely
the financial end of a proposition.
The deaths of the Emperor and
Empress Dowager of China and the
selection of a new ruler, Pu Yi, an
infant and a regent, Prince Chun,
were not attended by disorder, and
rumors of a revolution and rioting
proved groundless. There is every
indication that the new government
will continue the reform admini
stration of its predecessor. Negoti
ations are in progress between Secre
tary Root ami the Japanese Ambas
sador which may result in a definite
declaration of Japanese attitude to
ward the "territorial integrity" of
China and the "open door."
