A HORSE'S
FRANTIC CAPER
Daniel Bam-, George Carter and
Boyd Girt on, throe young men of
Bloomsburg, who drove down to rhi
city Monday > veiling in one of Livery
meu, Girtou &* Zicgler - sleighs, met
with a mishap which detained them
in Danville until nearly noon yester
day.
The trio attends I the performance
of Hi Henry'.- minstrels and about
midnight started on their homeward
drive. As they approached the P. &
R. railway crossing on Bloom street
their horse took fright at an approach
ing train and wheeling around retrac
ed his way down the street.
The horse was utterly beyond con
trol and af the Third Ward school
building he overturned the sleigh,
dumping the three men into the street
after which with acceleritel motion
he sped down the -freet. Af the First
National Bauk he turned up Mill
street, the empty sleigh and th • flying
horse creating no little wonder among
the belated pedestrians. At the Dau
ville National Bank he dashed down
West Market street and was soon out
of sight beyond the Borough limit-
Daniel Barns was bruised upon the
shoulder when thrown out of the
sleigh ; the others escaped unhurt. The
trio returned to Welliver's livery stable
where tho horse had been put up dur
ing the evening. Procuring a horse
and sleigh accompanied by the livery
man they started down the river in
pursuit of the runaway.
The frightened animal in his flight
had crossed the bridge at the Creek's
Mouth and just beyond had left the
roadway and mounted the hugli ice
jam which is piled up in the river at
that point as high as tin bank. There
where it would seem utterly impossi
ble to drive a horse the animal drag
ging the sleigh after him. slipping on
the slanting ice,regaining hi- feet and
leaping from ono hillo- k of ice to
another had made his way tor several
hundred yards. He wa< next tracked
along the road to the lower bridge
where instead of crossing to the North
umberland road, be dashed down the
tow path. At a short (".-tame below
he plunged into th*- abandoned canal
He had it seem-, mu -h difficulty iu
several attempts and before he -uc
ceeded the sleigh, alrea ly badlv brok
en, was reduced to a general wreck
When found the horse was s; tudiug
near as if bewildered a'.id the broken
sleigh lay iu the canal. The horse was
brought back to town and was found
to be uninjured with the exception of
a tew abrasion- about the leg-. Tues
day forenoon the sloighj was |brought
up to town and patched up in such a
way that it could be drawn to Blooms
bnrg.
Why Foreigners are Immune.
In speaking before the Schuylkill
Medical Society at Pottsville last
week, Dr. W. R. Brothers, of latna
qua, medical examiner for the P. <V-
R., made the statement that all of the
cases of smallpox in this region are
the result of the victims having failed
to be vaccinated. In the towns where
tho foreign element i- in the majority
especially the class from eastern and
■northern Europe there has been no
outbreaks of the disease. This is not
due to the sanitary condition of tho
people or their homes, but to the fact
that from childhood they are taught
the necessity of vaccination, and all
religiously follow the custom of being
vaccinated at least once in every five
years. The vaccination laws should
be more rigidly enforced ami there
will be no further spread of the dis
ease. He complained that many are
unsuccessfully vaccinated, but the
physicians attending give certificates
before they know whether or net it
ha* been successful.

ERECTING
jIAIL BOXES
The residents of Cooper aud Mahon
ing townships w ho are to be benefitted
by the rural free delivery route No. 5
| ire looking forward with no little sat*
; lsl'action to February l,the date when
J the new route goes into operation,
j Several of tiie farmers have already
I procured boxes and it is doubtful
whether there will be many that will
not avail themselves of the benefits of
free delivery.
As the regulations stand it is only
those who erect boxes that comply
with the government specifications
who will he served by the rural free
delivery carrier. The boxes on a route
must be uniform ; otherwise the car
j rier's master key might not work and
he would be put to unlimited trouble.
The law provides that persons living
near the line of the route and desiring
service must erect at their own cost
such boxes tor the receipt of their mail
a- have been approved by the depart
I ment. Each box must be erected at
the roadside so that the carrier '-an
e»-ily obtain access to it without dis
mounting from his vehicle. The same
box cannot be used for more thau one
family except in the case of near rela
tives or those residing in the same
house.
Persons neglecting or refusing to
comply with these conditions will be
regarded as not desiring rural tree de
livery aud tho rural carrier will be
directed not to serve them.
A Key to Hidden Gold.
A startling sequel to one of Pennsyl
vania's most famous murders has come
m the finding of what is believed to
he a key to the hiding place of sfiooo
or more which the murderer buried
before his arrest.
While repairing a roadway near his
farm along tho Nigger Hollow road
six miles north of Williamsport. re
cently, John Montgomery selected a
large stone to place over a culvert.
Upon dislodging the stone he found a
two-ounce bottle in the hole thus form
ed. In the bottle were two pieces of
paper. One had been torn from a copy
of Harper's Bazaar of the date of Jan.
2, T>9. The other was a piece of white
paper evidently taken from a ledger.
It bote some writing aud a small dia
gram. Although the paper and ink
both bore evidences of age, the writ
ing aud diagram were entirely legi
ble.
The note read ;
"Look between chestnut tree ami
big stone under a small tree. Nobody
can find this but me: There is a curse
on it. N. W. "
The writing was plain aud neat, al
though the spelling and punctuation
were faulty. In the lower right hand
corner was the diagram. It was a sim
ple bit of drawing consisting of a cir
cle and two objects,which might have
been made to represent stones, the ob
jects being connected with lines and
the lengths of the three lines were
recorded as being 5 feet, 10 feet and 20
feet respectively.
In the light of information which
be poisesed, Montgomery became con
vinced that the note had been written
by Nelsou Wade, who was hanged in
Williamsport thirty years ago for the
couple.
Wade was a young man who became
shoit of money through association
with fast companions. John Meßride
and his wife lived in a cottage west
of Williamsport, and were reputed to
have iiad S6OOO in gold hidden in var
ious parts of their premises.
One evening in the summer of 1873
Wade went to the Mcßride home, beat
in the skulls of the old pair aud took
away all the gold he could carry on
his person.
Two days later Waile was arrested
and confessed all, but refused to tell
where the money was hidden.
If was known at the time that Wade
had slept the night after the murder
in a vacant house on the farm now
owned by Montgomery and where the
k«*y to the treasure has just been
found.
At that time the place where the
bottled message has been found was
densely wooded and a mile from the
public highway, and it is hardly con
ceivable that the message could have
beeh placed there except by Wade. The
writing on the note has been compar
ed with some of Wade's manuscript IU
the Sheriff's office, and the resembl
ance is unquestionable.
A few weeks before he found the
me-sage, Montgomery turned over an
other stone at the same point and un
der it t und a nickle of the coinage of
1 M.">. His first thought after the sec
ond find, was that the two objects iu
rle diagram resembling rookH referred
to the roeks under which he found
the bottle and the nickle. The former
stone is so straight that one would
think it as made so by a chisel.
Taking this straight line as a guide
Montgomery measured off ten feet and
was pleased to find that the distance
fr<un the extremity thus formed to the
1 ii' ii -t point ol the othor rock was ex-
K't l\ five fe t, thus conforming exact
ly with the diagram.
Continuing this latter line to a point
twenty feet from the rock, he dug for
gold but did not lind any. Now Mout
gomer\ thinks be has made a mistake
and that he should extend the line,
not twenty fe«t from the rock, but
twenty feet from the intersection of
th" other two lines.
When the ground thaws out sutfioi
• nt 1 y Montgomery proposes to blow up
»!! the ground in tin- vicinity of the
rock- in tbe hope of finding the booty.
As the diagram was made thirty years
ago, the ii feieiice to certain trees is
not of any advantage to the searchers,
for tl • tr es have disappeared.

ALL RECORDS
WERG BROKEN
The preliminary report of Dr. H.
H. Warren, Dairy anil Food Commis
sioner, which has just been transmit
ted to Governor Pennypacker, shows
that the record attained «ud the work
accomplished in the matter of enforc
ing the dairy and food laws of this
State is unprecedented, and that both
in the number of prosecutions uistitu
(><) against offenders of the pure food
law- and the sum total collected lor
tines, etc., n<»t only exceeds that of
any previous year since these lawn
were enacted, hut the work accom
plished in general is far ahead of that
of any other State in the Union The
total receipts to the office during 1903
amounted to $*.('{,455.71. This sum in
cludes the amounts collected for the
year prior to April 1, when Commis
sioner Warren assumed charge of the
nttice and is made up as follows
Fure food fines, $39,752.18; oleoniir
garine licenses, $37,911.13; milk fines.
$0,093. *>o; oleomargarine tinea, act of
ISM. sf>lo<S,oo; under act of 1901, s">,-
907.38; under act of IH!>3, -* 125.5.5; ren
ovated butter lines, under act of 1899,
$17.37; under act of 1901, $1,032.05;
vinegar tines s77*.i. 34 ; lard tines, #357 ;
renovated butter licenses, s2C>«.t?7;
total. 193,458.71.
In 1902 the total receipts aggregated
$43,(>35.41,and in ISM)I they were $34,-
705.19. This comparison shows that
the receipts for 1903 more thau doubl
ed those of 1902, and about trippled
the total for 1901.
The report also shows that 1,800 pros
ecutions were ordered since April 1,
and that the suits not terminated will
probably add twenty thousand dollars
additional to the coffers of the State
Treasury when finally disposed of.
The increased amount of money re
ceived from license fees for the sale of
uucolored oleomargarine in Pennsyl
vania indicates a more general com
pliance with the laws regulating the
manufacture and sale of oleomarga
rine in this State, and the large sum
collected from those who violated the
laws is evidence that the commission
er is determined that the sale and use
of colored or unlicensed oleomargarine
mast be stopped. He farther asserts
that there shall he no abatement 111
the work and prosecutions will follow
wherever violations of the law are dis
covered.
In concluding his report Commis
sioner Warren expresses acknowledge
ments for the support and encourage
ment received from Governor Periuv
packer and Secretaiy Gritohfield of
the Department of Agriculture and al
so to the local Boards of Health in the
various cities and boroughs for their
co-opei at iou.

PiyiNß BOUNTY
DISCONTINUED
iti accordanco with the recent decis
ion of the Supreme court the Board of
County Commissioners at their meet
ing Saturday decided to discontinue
the practice of paying bounty for the
pelts of foxes, minks, etc.
The sum allowed for each pelt pro
duced was one dollar and the time was
when the money paid out by the corn
missiouers in this way each year
amounted to H considerable item in
the expense account of the county.
Among the annuals paid form addi
tion to foxes and minks were hawks,
skunks, lynx, and other destructive
animals. It is probably less than ten
years ago that the bounty was remov
ed ftom hawks and skunks. Since
then the warfare carried on against
such animals speaking for our own
county has not been a very aggressive
one. During last year but two pelts
were paid for in the County Commis
sioners' office here. As a matter of
fact the destruction of obnoxious an
imals never was carried onto as great
an extent here as 111 some counties,
where men fond of an easy living, in
whom the trapping instinct was de
veloped often diovea paying business,
receiving not only the dollar bounty
but the proceeds for the fur in the
ease of every animal caught.
Of course there was a temptation to
commit fraud and a former County
Commissioner of Montour is authority
for the following statement. Among
the individuals who realized hand
somely every yejr on the number of
pelts he brought in was one who was
famous for the number of -kutiks he
killed. Things went on until either
by accident or as the result of an in
vestigation it was discovered that he
had a fiue breeding ground and was
giving a good detl of care and atten
tion to the raising of skuuks.

Wood Uhopper'd Bad Accident.
George Hartzell, a resident of Fern
ville, a suburb of Bloomsburg, met
wifli u i>rv atirutiu *■
while engaged in cutting wood.
Hartzel! and a companion were cut
ting the trunk of a big tree up into
cordwood lengths, using a crosscut
saw. The tree lay on a hillside and
Hartzell was on the lower side.
Just as the saw went through the
portion of the log severed, started to
roll and striking Hartzell, knocked
him down and rolled over him. The
mm held a sharp double-bladed axe in
his baud, which as the log went over
him was pressed into his left leg be
low the knee, inflicting a deep gash
which went nearly all the way round
the leg. A physician quickly repsond
ed to a call; otherwise the man might
have bled to death. Nine stitches were
required in sewing up the wound.

That Jacob Hlte, who shot Mrs.

will make a hard fight for his freedom
and that the trial which will take

most bitterly fought in the history of
the county, is evidenced by the array
of legal talent which will be arrayed
on the opposing sides.

Of Great V«tl and Importance.
According to the New York Herald,
wo owe more to the farmers of the
country than most people imagine. < in
the first page of it- aimii il financial
and commercial review for 1 :-r year it
says: "Prosperity of the year ISKKi i
due to the farmers. Good crops saved
the country from disaster that might
have followed the depression 111 Wall
street." There is much truth in what
the Lancaster Examiner says on this
subject ami we quote from its remarks
in the hope that it may cause people
to reflect and think upon the value
and important?* of the farming in
dustry :
"Opinions like these cannot be too
often reiterated, for the mass of peo
ple have their imaginations find by
the sight of huge factories and manu
facturing plants. They overlook the
farmer, for he works singly and not
in the mas-, hut for all is the real
master of the situation. This is an
agricultural nation, and the young
country boy should early learn that
the farmer aggregated is the financial
king of this hemisphere. A country
without land cannot maintain a man
ufacturing or eaniniereial supremacy."

A Very Close Call.
"I was troubled for several years
with chronic indigestion anil nervous
.debility," writes F. .T. Green, of Lan

until I began using Electric Bitters,
which did me more good than all the

kept my wife in excellent health for
years. SI • says Eb trie Bitters are

they are a grand tonic and invigorat

A Mounted Moose Head.
Dan M. Curry received a laro cur
iosity on Saturday in the form ot an
immense moose bead mounted which
came a- a present from bis cousin in
the great Northwest.
The moose head,which is tin lir-t of
it- kind that ever came to Dtnville, is
a trophy earned by H. E. Cuiry, who
1 s p c ited on the Lake of the Woods on
the Northern boundary of Minnesota.
.luilfnue l»v the. enormous si-/., nf the
in ' lc, head and antlers, the animal
when alive must have been the larg
est that roams tic woods. The part
mounted fur surpasses in size the head
and neck of the largest, ox extant. The
big antlers with their branches tour
feel si\ inehes from tip to tip,are each
a marvel of development in itself. The
mounting from art artistic standpoint
is a masterpiece and the head of the
monster has ail the appearance of life.
The curiosity since its arrival lias been
viewed by many persons,few of whom
have ever seen a live moose.

The Rod in the School.
Owing to the recent action of the I
Harrisburg school board in endorsing |
the use of the rod in the public schools
the old and much discussed subject is
again agitatiug the newspapers of
the country, which with very few ex
ceptions condemn the punishment of
pupils by teachers. The latter have
the law and rules to adequately pun
isli refractory pupils,or deny them at- j
tendance at sessions. The teacher is ■
obliged to nriiiitaiu order, but if In* j
or she, is not able to do so with nior.tl
suasion or the milder forms of punish
ment, they are either unqualified by ;
temperament or make-up, for their
position, or else have a pupil that
should be punished at boiue or kept at i
the latter place. There is a vast ditf j
erence between the spirit of fun I
and mischief which bubbles up in j
some boys and must have an over- j
flow, and maliciousness and devil- ;
ishuess. A teacher should recognize !
the difference,and should be thorough- I
ly acquainted and have made a study
of human nature, before becoming an I
instructor. A teacher who cannot con j
tiol himself or herself, is not fit to 1
govern a school. The avocation is a i
trying one at b'st, and the most suc
cessful teacher is the one who disci
plines largely by disciplining herself
or himself. Book knowledge doesn't
make a successful teacher. A refract
ory or troublesome pupil is the fault
of the teacher quite as often as any
thing else.
So long as the schools are in charge
of men and women who do not under
stand a boy,and wlid have no intelli
gent sympathy lor the child nature,
there will be periodical and insistent
appeals for a return to the rod. These
appeals are generally voiced in prin
cipals' meetings by teachers who have
bad -orry experiences with refractory I
boys whom they have tried to whip
into respect for constituted authority.
As for the parents, they never join in
the appeal. Flogging is brutalizing
and degrading. The rod was thrown
out of most public schools because its
use by a teacher is cruel,illogical and
unnatural. The teacher has no right
to whip another person's child, and no
amouut of declamation about "dis
cipline" will give him that right. The
responsibility for the severe discipline
of a child belongs to the parents. Just
what form it may take is for the par
ent to decide. If this responsibility is
not met firmly, patiently and humane
ly the parent will suffer the conse
quences. It eanuot be thrown entirely
upon the teacher in the schools. The
tendency in most cities in fact is to
keep the pupil in the schools fewer
hours, leaving the quetsion of disci
pline more and more to the parents.
