WODLDBE
DAYLIGHT ROBBER
Our police during Sunday and Mon
day were on the trail of a would be
daylight robber, who Sunday morning
appeared at the office of the Reading
Iron Works.
Mrs. Peter Kiun, Church street,who
takes care of the building, during the
absence of the clerks Sunday was giv
ing the offices their weekly cleaning.
She was in the big building alone.
While busy in the Superintendent's
room she heard footsteps in an adjoin
ing apartment. Looking up she beheld
a tall smooth-faced trampish-looking
fellow, who approached Iter.
"Where are the men!?" he asked.
Tho woman's reply was to the effect,
that there wore no men in tho build
ing.
Where are the keys for that door?"
he inquired, pointing to the vault.
Mrs. Kiriu replied that she bad no
keys and kuew nothing about them.
The fellow didn't believe her. He
told her she knew very well where the
keys were and in an angry tone do
manded that she produce the keys and
lose no time about it.
The woman saw that she bad a
tough oustomer to deal with. There
was but one way to escape and she
was quick to act.
"Yes," she replied, *1 think the
keys are op stairs; 1 will get them."
In order to reach the stairs she bad
to step into the hall passing near the
froat door. This gave her a chance to
escape. Springing out the door she
ran into the street, calling tho watch
man from the mill.
The fellow escaped through the back
door of the office upsetting two large
waste baskets in his flight. The police
were soon on his trail. All the disus
ed mills and furuacos were searched
Sunday and Monday, but the would
be robber could not be found.
Officer Voris recognized tho fellow
by the description as a tramp who
was about town Saturday evening.
Three fingers are missing on his right
hand, the index finger which is much
deformed, remaining.
How to Wote at Coining Election.
Remember that you will have a new
lesson to learn before you can vote in
telligently this fall, tho new ballots
being eutirely different from the old
one. The old ballot had a separate
column for each party which had
made nominations. But on tho new
ballot the names of all candidates for
oue office will he printed under the
name of that office. For instance, un
der the heading "State Treasurer,"
all candidates for that office will be
printed The name of tho candidate
will bo first at the left, and at the
right of his name will bo the name of
the party which nominated him. At
the right of this party name will be a
small square. If two or more parties
have nominated the same man tor the
same office the name of each party
which nominated him will bo print
ed at the right of his name. At
the top of each ballot there will be
printed in large letters the names of
the different parties which have made
nominations, and a large square will
be at the right of each party name.
If you want to vote a straight ticket
you will put a cross in the big square
at the right of your party name and
that will be counted for tho whole
ticket. But if you want to cut your
tioket you put a cross in the. small
square at the right of the nauio of
the man for whom you want to vote.
Don't put your cross in tho big
square at the top and in tho little
square at the right of each candidate;
if you do this neither one will count
Remember, the big square is for a
straight ticket, the little square is for
a cot ticket.

Josiah Williams of 30 Ash street,

a whole box of Doan's Kidney Pills
before they cured my back of depress

which had made every moment pain

my kidneys, and stooping or lifting

A Souvenir ot Jerusalem.
Our townsman Henry L. Gross has
received a very int< renting Souvenir
which forms a part of an ingenious
plan adopted by Jews in Jerusalem to
raise money to relieve their needs. The
souvenir is in the form of an album
in which a great variety of beauti
ful and delicate (lowers from the Holy
- Land are arranged, accompanied by a
brief description of the most important
places where they wore gathered.
The flowers altogether foreign to
what we are accustomed to are pressed
and pasted on the white page retain
ing not only the brilliancy of their
hues but also to some extent their fra
grance.
The souvenir is accompanied by a
New Year's greeting signed by Hindu
Lorberbanm. She sets forth that she
is ■ the wife of a well known Rabbi
who is sitting and studying tho Holy
Thora,'' consequently the maintenance
of the whole house rests on her should
ers. In taking the libeity of sending
the (lower album as a "remembrance

membered.

THE SOLDIERS' I
MONUMENT
Another and determined eil'ort i- be
ing put forth bv tile Soldiers" Monu- 1
riient Ooininittee to raise tlio money v
reijuired to • reel a lilting memorial to '
the soldiers of our country who lost '
their lives in the Civil War. Thi- '
project has been on foot lor many 1
year- Some in ue v his been raised, !
but the completion of the task si-enis v
up-hill work.
Hon. James Foster,< 'hairman of the
Committee, was interviewed vcster- '
day. He says that the Soldiers' Monu- '
nieiit Committee ha- been reorganized '
and that the work of seln iting will
now he pushed with renew d vigor A '
veteran ol the ('ivil War himself lie
i le-Is anxious to do all in In- power to
help the work along. ('out inning, he
said: "I have always regarded tie
movement as a most laudabl one and
every citiz.en of our < unity who
elieiishes the memory of men who fell
while upholding the flag should unite
in an effort to raise the money re
ipiircd and to | usli the movement to
completion." In looking over the
comities ot the State Mr. Foster savs
lie discovers that Montour is behind in
this work. Heautiful mouuments,rais
ed by voluntary subscriptions stand in
nearly every county 1 :U elsewhere in
the Commonwealth. lie considers it
humiliating thai Montour should he
one of Hie few counties slow to show
her appreciation ot the brave men
whoso lives were so freely given that
our nation might live.
Mr. Fester lias confidence that by
putting forth the proper effort at this
time the building of tin- monument
can be accomplished. Some liberal
subscriptions have already been re
ceived. The patriotism which animat
ed the men of '<» l is not dead and the
Committee believe that other and large
subscriptions xvill follow.
The work of soliciting is in the
hands ol a sub committee as follows:
First Ward, Samuel McCoy and F.
(J. Schoch.
Second Ward, Itoss llarner and T.
W. Medi a.
Third and Fourth Wards, W L. Mc-

Supervisors Will Measure Reads.
Thet'ount.y Commissioners thisw«ek
' are formally notifying the supervisors
of the several townships that the Good
Roads Law must he complied with and
J the number of miles of road HI each
township must be returned to the
] Commissioners' office.
I The township supervisors, upon
whom the duty of measuring the
roads devolves, have been expecting
■ such orders for some time. Hut they
I are at a loss to know just how to pro
' ceed. They realize that, there is but
l one absolutely correct way of determ
-1 ining the distance covered by the
roads and that is by the use of the
j. surveyor's chain. A cyclometer, how
ever, they believe, can be employed
with practically correct results, and
many will no doubt adopt the use of
this instrument as the more conveiii

CINE AND 1
IMPRISONMENT
A Pure Food law more rigorous in i
it- penalties than any new enactment i |
which Food Commissioner Warren has ! j
been so strenuously striving to enforce i (
lias been discovered on the statute
books well seasoned. It promises, j (
moreover, to result in a crusade such I
as will make some of the dealers
■ (
shudder more severely than they have
vet learned how to do.
! i
This important discovery was made
by Food Commissioner Warren at a!
conference held at Harrishurg with i
his (thief counsel, C. H Whitnier and j
Chad L Vanderslice. the latter one of j
the Philadelphia attorneys ot the ;
I'ure Food Bureau.
The attorneys of the Department j
have unearthed two acts of Assembly,
one passed in ISiilf, and another ill
which are not, it. is asserted, re
pealed as some believe, by implica
tion.
If the position of the pure food olfi
cials is correct as to the status of
these old acts, men who make and sell
malt or spiritoas lipoid refreshments
in Pennsylvania which are adulterat
ed with injurious drags will have no i
end of trouble. Particularly is this I
true of the act of IHSI which provides
a tine of *IOOO and not less than one
year in jail.
It is understood that this meeting
was called especially to take up a lot
of matters dealing with prosecutions,
which will, at an early date, he start
ed in Philadelphia and neighboring
counties from which a great number
ot liquid refreshments; such as lager
beer, wines, brandy, etc., have been
purchased by agents and reported by
the chemists to cottfaiu salicylic acid,
coal-tar dyes, besides other ingredi
ents which do not properly belong to
"booze" or liquors, recommended as
some ot tliein are for medicinal pur
|)OSOH.
Commissioner Warren has collected
about $.->OOO in fines during the month
of September and $112.55 for oleomar
garine licenses. During the past
month 1 :iti prosecutions have been
ordered by Dr. Warren, as follows,
throughout the State: Milk and cream,
:!(>; maple syrup, 14; vinegar, 13; lager
beer, 10; oleo, 7; lard, 10; blackberry
wine, brandy, etc., 10; vanilla and
lemon extracts. It; cocoa and choco
late, :i; preserves, jellies and jams, It;
ice cream, 1 ; meats, fresh, steak and
sausage, II ; pepper and catsup.2; soft
drink, 1.
The milk and cream samples were
reported by chemists to contain chief
ly formaldehyde or boracio acid as
preservatives. Sjnie taken in Al
legheny county contained a yellow col
oring matter, which the Pittsburg
chemist says is poisonous. The beers,
brandies and all, according to official
records, contain salicylic acid, which
is, undoubtedly, injurious to health.
The meats, such as Hamburg steak
and pork sausage, were dosed with
chemicals and colored ill many in
stances with analine dyes, and a very
popular soft drink sold in Western
Pennsylvania, like some lager beer,
was loaded with salicylic acid.

Prosperous Year for Farmers.
Taking into consideration the pro
lific season and the prevailing prices
for produce the present year,like last,
would seem to be a prosperous one for
farmers. Never havejjprices for all the
commodities of the farm remained so
high.
Wheat, it is true, at M 0 cents, the
present price, is a good way from a
dollar per bushel, which is a sort of
an uiireali/.ed dream with every farm
er, vet with potatoes at fifty cents per
bushel, butter at 25 cents, eggs at JO
cents per do/en and other tilings in
proportion the loss on wheat, if any, is
readily counterbalanced by profits

How About Exercise ?
"Is physical culture in the way of
calisthenics, &0., it eluded in the cur
riculum of our public schools," was a
question put to a newspaper man by a
gentleman who had just come across
the following clipping from a neigh
boring paper, quoting the law on the
subject, and which he thought should
be given some attention. The legal
I quotation was as follows:
3 "it shall be the duty of school
„ directors, boards of school controllers
and hoards of education of the public
1 schools of this commonwealth to make
proper provisions in all the schools or
' districts under their jurisdiction, care
and'control tor instruction to be given
the pupils of said public school in
physical culture by a regular and pro
t, gressive course of calisthenics aud any
failure on the part of said directors,
controllers or hoards of education to
, comply with the provisions of this act
satisfactorily proven to the state sup
erintendent of public instruction,shall
I be deemed sufficient cause for with
, holding the warrant for state ap
propriation of school money to which
such district would be entitled.
