Tiie following letter from John T.
Hyatt, of Jersey Shore, former Vice-
Consul at Santiago, to (Commissioner
of Health Samnel G. Dixon, telling of
his personal experience in fighting
smalljHix with vaccine virus in Cuba;
is of particular interest at this time
when the citizens of different sections
of the State are expressing in strong
terms their approval or disapproval of
the compulsory vaccination law:
Terse y Shore, r lan. 4, 1900.
Hon. Samuel (5. Di>< i Commissioner
of Health. Harrisivifr. Pa.:
Pear Sir—A* at Lo-k Haven and
other part < of the «:ate thera is so
much oppi »ifion to vaccination, as re
quired by *he Act of June 18. 1895, I
feel fcnttfln'-d to write you some of
my own experiences and observations
whh reference to thnt subject.
I was American V;."-Consul at Sant

sive The influx to Santiago from the
rural distr! is where, on account of
the revolution. !r was very dangerous
to live, was vrr.. he;vy. and particu

form. If v.-as estimated at the time
that d-rlnc thai year there were fO.OOO
case*- of vel'ow fever and 20,000 cases
of sirs'!-! x in the city of Santiago.
As 1 re.oi:°< tit now the death rate
from these two alone in that
city ascended to a level of from 60 to
U'« deaths per diy.
The government, unmindful
trf the welfwe of the people, look little
or no stem- to stamp out the scourges.
And although p:ivai» enterprise im

RELATING TO
NOMINATIONS
February 2nd is the last day for fil
iug certificates of nomination of Bor
oughs and townships. February sth is
the last day for tiling nomination pap
ers for boroughs aud townships.
The two weeks or so intervening be
twee 11 the present and the above dates
will be occupied with considering the
matter of candidates aud making nom
inations. The Republicans have select-
Ed January 26th as the time for hold
ing their primaries in the Borough
autl District. The Democrats, realiz
ing that the time is narrowing down,
are beginning to bestir themselves,but
as a general thing have not arranged
any dates. The Democrats of Mahon
ing township have held their caucus
and it was learned yesterday that the
same party in the Fourth Ward of the
Borough has selected Saturday night,
January 27th, as the date of the pri
mary election. The other wards will
probably fall in at about the same
date.
One hears very little on the subject
of candidates, although a couple of
very important offices are to be filled.
For the office of Chief Burgess in
either party it does not seem that any
one is seriously considered as a can
didate It is doubtful also whether
there will be much of a fight for the
office of Tax Receiver for the Borough.
In none of the wards is there much
enthusiasm aud prospective candidates
for Councilmen and School Directors
are much less in evidence than for a
good many years past. The truth of the
matter is: To serve the public faith
fully, in the two latter of the above
named offices,especially,means a whole
lot of hard work gratuitously done,
the only reward lying in the approba
tion of the fellow citizens. When as
in our own town public improvements
are pending or on foot the burden of
responsibility becomes heavier. It is
hard to avoid mistakes even in one's
own business and in handling public
affairs the Councilman and the School
Director faces the contingency of dis
pleasing the tax payer in some details
and instead of meeting with public
approbation is greeted with a deluge
of public censure.
The present Council and the School
Board of Danville are made up of men
whose integrity is unquestionable.
Neither body would be any place for
men who do not possess the golden at
tribute of honesty anil it is safe to say
that only such will be named for eith
er office or at most that only such will
lie elected.
The successful candidate there
fore will have to be a man of public
spirit along with his other good at
tributes, one willing to sacrifice his
personal interest for the public good.
That the right man can be found when
needed admits of 110 doubt.
A WIDOW'S GRATITUDE.
A woman living in tlie village of
Milford, N. Y., who lost her husband
by death one week ago,sent tlie follow
ing communication to an Otsego coun
ty newspaper:
"Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the
friends and neighbors most heartily,
in this manner, for the united aid and
co-operation during the illness and
death of my late husband, who escap
ed from me by the hand of death on
Friday last while eating breakfast.
To the friends and all who contribut
ed so willingly toward making the
last moments and funeral of my hus
band a success, I desire to remember
most kindl?, hoping these few lines
will find them enjoying the same bless
ing. I have also a good milch cow and
roan gelding horse, 8 years old, which
1 will sell cheap, 'God moves in a mys
terious way his wonders to perform.
He plants his footsteps on the sea and
rides u]>on the storm' ; also a black
and white shote very low."
Will Ask President.
The commission created to make ar
rangements for the dedication of the
new capitol at Harrisburg will meet
some time this week for organization,
as it is considered wise to begin the
work of preparation as soon as possi
ble. The commission consists of Gov
ernor Pennypacker, Auditor General
Snyder, State Treasurer Mat hues,
Speaker Walton, Senator Fox and Sen
ator \V. C. Sproul
Architect Joseph M. Huston is auth
ority for the statement that the ded
ication will be one of the greatest
affairs ever seen in Pennsylvania. The
State has appropriated $50,000 to pay
the expenses. The dedication will very
likely take place next October, and
will be a military and civic sjicetacle
such as will befit the dedication of the
finest capitol builuing in the United
States. The entire National Guard
will be present, and the Governors of
the different States, the Senators and
memliers of Congress from this State,
the Legislature, the Supreme and Sup
erior court, and men of prominence
the country over will all 1m- invited to
attend. The commission will make a
particularly earnest effort to secure the
presence of President Roosevelt and in
this will be aided by Senators Penrose
and Knox.
The commission will have of tires at
the new capitol for the transaction of
ifs business, ami will make every en
deavor to have the dedication a grand
success.
Attended Oscar Morgan's Funeral
Miss Alice Smith and fra C. Ever
hard of the Hospital, have returned
from Denton, Md., where they attend
ed the funeral of Oscar O. Morgan, a
former attendant at the Hospital for
the Insane here, who had a number of
friends in Danville and vicinity.
The deceased left Danville three
years ago removing to St. Louis, Mo.,
where death occurred on Tuesday of
last week. He was thirty-five years

and Oscar aged four years.
The deceased lived in Danville eight
years and while here resided in one of
the houses belonging to the Twist
estate on East Market street. The news
of his death will be learned wirli much
regret.
Naturally the work of the Legisla
ture is going to bo closely watched by
the people of the state.

Prescribed New Regulations.
Local grave diggers, especially those
at Odd Fellows' and Fairview cemet
eries where hard digging at a certain
depth is a factor will be very glad to
learn tliat the State Department of
Health has prescribed new regulations
for the burying of human bodies in the
cemeteries of Pennsylvania to meet the
objections, which have been raised to
the original regulations adopted re
cently by Commissioner Dixou.
The order sent out by Dr. Dixon ami
which went into effect 011 January Ist
provided that the distance from the
.top of the box containing the coffin or
casket be seven feet from the natural
surface of the ground. This gave the
grave a total depth of about nine feet.
Where the ground afforded easy dig
ging to the depth named there could
probably be little objection to the new
regulation. But tiie fact in the l»egiu
uing was lost sight of that iu many
cemeteries nine feet would carry the
grave down into solid rock necessitat
ing the use of explosives before the
projter depth could he attained. The
new ruling was especially hard 011
the grave digger at < )dd Fellows' ceme
tery, where at a depth of some seven
feet a shelly rock is encountered. At
the Fairview cemetery conditions are
nearly as bad, at the same depth a de
posit of hard pan being encountered,
which makes digging difficult.
Tho grave diggers naturally protest
ed against being obliged to sink graves
to such an unusual depth in tiie face
of such obstacles as existed. The un
dertakers insisted upon carrying out
the letter of the law and the grave
diggers did their best to comply. Only
a few funerals have occurred since
January Ist and what success the reg
ulations later on would have met with
had it not been for the new order it
would be hard to say. A man of aver
age stature by adding a yard to his
height cau form an idea of the depth
of grave required. Iu the case of an
infant's grave to comply with the reg
ulation became impracticable or a
physical impossibility.
The new regulation prescribed pro
vides that except by special permission
from the department 110 interment of
any human body shall be made in any
public or private burial ground unless
the distance from the top of the box
containing the coffin or casket be at
least live feet from the natural surface
of the ground, except where solid rock
or water may be encountered.
Then the distance from the top of
the box containing the ooftiu or casket
shall not he less than four feet from
the natural surface of the ground ; ami
with the further exception that still
born children and children less than
four years old dead of any disease otli
er than anthrax, cholera, diphtheria,
small pox, scarlet fever, tetanus and
typhoid fever shall be buried at such
depth that the top of the box contain
ing the coffin or casket be not less than
three and one-half feet from the natur
al surface of the ground.
AT THE GAME PRESERVE.
Hon. Alexander Billmeyer of Wash
ingtonville was in this city yesterday.
He states that the animals in his game
preserve are having a fine time and are
thriving nicely during the mild win
ter. A severe winter sets hard on wild
animals and this holds good with the
deer and other animals in it game pre
serve as well as with the wild animals
in the forest. Last winter as well as
during the winter preceding Mr. Bill
meyer saiit, several of the delicate
young fawns succnmlted to the cold
weather. This winter they are as hap
py as they can be and are growing
nicely. From what Mr. Billmeyer has
observed relating to weather condi
tions he is inclined to believe that
mild weather will predominate during
the winter. That January lfitli should
arrive and show no sign of freezing,as
was the case yesterday, he thought was
a pretty fair criterion ou which to
base a view as to what the winter a* a
whole might be like.
FIREMEN'S RELIEF
IN DANVILLE
At tiie Friendship Engine House,
Saturday evening, was held the annual
election of officers of the Danville
branch <>f tin Firemen's Relief Associ
ation, of Pennsylvania. The balloting
resulted in the election of A. G. Roat.
president; George Kocher, vice presi
dent; Harry Trumbower,secretary and
Sam A. McCoy, treasurer.
This branch of the fire fighting ser
vice in the State is one about which
very little is known, many of the fire
men themselves being in ignorance of
the true significance of the Associa
tion.
The object of the Association is" to
pay a benefit to a fireman who is in
jured in the performance of duty. The
funds of the organization accrue from
a tax of 2 per centum levied on the
premiums of all lire insurance com
panies outside the State ttiat write in
surance in Pennsylvania. One b;»lf of
tliis tax is devoted to tlie fire depart
ment in the State and distributed
among the different local departments
in proportion to the amount of insur
ance the taxable companies write in
that locality.
Since the institution of the Associa
tion the funds have come into the local
treasury faster than they have been
disbursed,and as a consequence a snug
sum, shown in the appended report, is
now deposited in the Danville banks
and drawing 3 per cent, interest.

DON'T EXPERIMENT.
You Will Make No Mistake if You Follow
This Danville Citizen's Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain in the back,urinary
disorders, dizziness and nervousness,
it's time to act and no time to experi
ment. These are all symptoms of kid
ney trouble, and you should seek a
remedy which is known to cure the
kidneys.
Dean's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use. It has cured many stubborn
cases in Danville. No need to experi
ment. Follow the advice of a Danville
citizen and be cured yourself.
John James,puddler, of 11 Sycamore
St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills were
of immense lienelit to me in a case of
backache and kidney complaint some
years ago. I had suffered for mouths
with pain and lameness in my back
and used all kinds of remedies but re
ceived 110 iiermanent benefit. 1 was
becoming discouraged but w hen Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended tome
by Levi Allegar, I concluded to try
them. I got a box and used them as
directed. The result was far beyond
my expectations. They cured nie and
I have had no return of the trouble."

flail Carrier's Horse Poisoned.
Some time during Tuesday night or
early yesterday morning au attempt
was made to poison the horse of Har
ry Evans, the mail carrier on Blooms
burg H. F. D. No. 3.
The horse is the one used by Mr.
Evans on his route, anil was bedded
and given hay Tuesday evening as us
ual in the barn of his father-in-law,
Ricliard Umstead on East Third street,
Bloomsburg. Yesterday morning when
Mr. Umstead went to the barn lie
found that the horse had eaten none
of the hay, and a further axamination
disclosed a largo quantity of oats mix
ed with paris green in the trough.
The horse was standing but appar
ently dazed and dopy. Dr. G. H. Wel
liver was nailed and administered
emetics, but the condition of the an
imal continued critical.
At ten o'clock Tuesday evening a
man was seen going up the alley near
the barn, and his actions looked sus
picious, but he was not recognized.
Just when the poison was placed in
the stall, or how entrance to the barn
was made is unknown.
The ]Ktisoued horse is valued at #125.
Mr. Evans knows of no one who would
attempt for any reason to kill the
horse.

ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
FREIGHT CARRIERS
The sentiment in favor of electric
railways carrying freight is steadily
growing. This is a matter of the ut
most importance to a large proportion
of the citizens of the state who will
be greatly benefitted by a large reduc
tion in the local freight rates which
hey are now forced to pay. It is of
particular importance to tlie agricul
turists, citizens of country towns and
storekeepers of country towns.
The electric railways in every state
surrounding Pennsylvania are today
carrying freight.and tlie citizens have
found it a source of great saving,much
added convenience and a strong factor
in contributing to the, success of busi
ness in the suburban and rural dis
tricts.
Farm laud near railroad freight .sta
tions commands a much higher value
than farm land along trolley lines
remote from steam railroad stations;
if electric railways be granted the
right to carry freight this condition
of affairs will be reversed —farmers
living along electric; lines remote from
steam railroad freight stations will in
stead of having to drive many miles
j every day to a steam railroad freight
station, be enabled to load their pro
duets on electric railways practically
at their front doors in many instances;
this will give them an equal advant
age to that unjoyed by farmers living
near a steam railroad freight station —
they will have the added advantage,
however, of cheaper freight rates on
the electric railways—more frequent
freight service and quick delivery of
freight. This should enhance the value
of all farm lands along freieht carry
ing electric railways to figures far in
excess of the values of farms now ap
proximate to steam railroad freight
stations.
The freight consigned over electric
railways would also be delivered at its
destination and not at central freight
depots from whence it won Id have to
be carried to its ultimate destination.
The storekeepers in the smaller towns,
and even cities of considerable size,
would be greatly benefitted by direct
freight communication by electric rail
way from their store front witli the
store front of the wholesaler from
whom they make their purchases. The
saving in haulage, as well as the sav
ing in reduced treight rates, will be
of enormous value to these business
men.

Passengers Prightened.
A number of passengers on the Read
ing passenger train Wednesday morn
ing, which leaves Sunburv about 9
o'clock for Shamokin, were terror
stricken due to an accident which oc
curred near Arters' Station.
While the train was running along
at a rapid rati' of speed the cylinder
head on one side of the engine blew
out and striking the passenger coach
tore a large hole iu the side of the car.
The force of the blow was such that
the car was jarred from its position on
the trucks anil although no one was
injured the passengers were thorough
ly frightened, believing that a wreck
would surely occur.
After running about a half a mile
the train was brought to a standstill
and when the extent of the damage
was learned the car was cut from the
train and the passengers were trans
ferred to the Pullman car. When the
train arrived at Shamokin another en
gine and passenger coach was received
and the train proceeded for Philadel
phia about one hour and a half late.

BOTTLING MACHINERY
STARTED UP
The bottling department of the Han
over Brewing Company's plant started
up on Saturday as an experiment. It
was visited by a number of people
during the afternoon, who were much
interested in the equipment of the
plant, which embraces all the modern
devices known and is a marvel as
showing the advancement made in a
few years in tho single branch of bot
tling.
The bottling will be carried on in a
new brick building situated southwest
of the main building,recently complet
ed. The facilities could not be well
improved on, while the beer used is a
special brew made for that purpose.
Everything is done by machinery at
record-breaking speed. Although none
of the hands had as yet become expert
on Saturday a barrel of beer was bot
tled in 2U minutes. Ten bottles per
minute is about the average and this
includes the washing of the bottles,
the tilling, the corking and tlie
labelling, for the equipment is so ar
ranged that each of the above processes
is going on at the same time.
In each department the machinery is
the very acme of ingenuity and in its
relation to hydraulics or other branch
es of science it forms a pleasant aud
profitable study. This is especially
true of the tilling process aud the
washing of the bottles, while by no
means the least interesting is the
machine for corking the bottles and
another machine for putting 011 the
Libels. The process of Pasteurizing the
beer consists of packing the filled bot
tles contained in metallic cases in a
huge tank into which is turned water
heated by steam to an intense degree.
As above stated each of the different
processes is in progress at the same
time. While one man is washing the
bottles, another is presiding over the
filler; another is operating the corker,
another is preparing for pastereuizing
and still another is putting on the la
bels. This probably comprises the lim
ited number of menemployed in the
bottling department, while as revealed
by Saturday's xperimeut the daily pro
duct will be something enormous.
Indigestion is easily overcome by the
use of Kodol Dysjw'psia Cure, because
this remedy digests what you eat and
gives the stomach a rest—allows it to
recuperate and grow strong again.
Kodol relieves Indigestion, Belching
of Gas, Sour Stomach, Heart Burn,
etc., and enables the digestive organs
to transform all foods into the kind of
rich red blood that makes health and
strength. Sold by Paules & Co.
Big Fire at Jameson City.
A tire occurred at Jameson City dur
ing Saturday night that threatened a
general conflagration in the central
part of that town,before it was finally
brought under control by the efforts of
rlie volunteer fire department.
The fire was discovered about mid
night in the large barn on the hotel
property of Ben Dorsey, the building
Iteing already wrapped in flames. The
fire quickly spread to the barn of J.
C. Searfos' Brothers and both build
ings were completely destroyed. In
the Dorsey barn two horses, two cows,
two hogs and two dogs were burned to
death. The vehicles, however, were
saved. The firemen were able to re
move the live stock from the Serafos
barn.
The Maccabees' Building was for a
while in great danger of being de
stroyed, anil as it was the building
sustained considerable damage. The
clothing store of M. Socks occupies
the first floor of the Maccabees' Build
ing and the stock was damaged con
siderably by water.
A reasonable amount of food thorough
ly digested and properly assimilated
will always increase the strength. If

VERY SUCCESSFUL
SKIN GRAFTING
Howard (Joiner, the lti-year-old sou
ot Levi Geiger, Limestone township,
who was so shockingly injured by be-
dragged under a cultivator last
summer, lias now practically recover
ed after a long siege of over five
mouths of suffering. It is one of the
1110-t remarkable cases of skin grafting
on record.
'J tic accident will be easily Recalled
by Morning News readers. On June
10th last Howard Geiger was riding a
cultivator on bis father's farm. One
of the horses becoming restive struck
the tongue, which caused it to break.
As the result of this the front part of
the cultivator dropped, which caused
Howard to fall from the seat striking
the ground right in front of the teeth;
at the same moment the horses sprang
forward and ran away dragging the
hoy along under the cultivator. It was
;i most shocking accident. Dragging
Howard along the horses ran fully one
fourth of a mile the boy being releas
ed as the cultivator crossed a deep
ditch, which permitted his body to
drop below the range of the teeth.
As might be imagined his body was
one mass of cuts aud bruises,while his
left arm was injured to such an extent
as to make the possibility of recovery
very remote, indeed. Every vestige of
skin was.stripped from the arm from
near the shoulder to the wrist. The
-kin was stripped in one mass by the
action of the harrow teeth just as a
stacking is pulled downward off a hu
man limb. A surgeon's knife could
not have made a neater job of it. In
addition to this on the under side of
the arm above the elbow the muscle
itself was town away and the bone was
exposed.
Such was the case that our towns
man. Dr. K. S. Fatten, then of Wash
iugtouville, was called to grapple with.
That lie at once reassured the family
and set about to grow a new skin on
the flayed arm and even to restore the
use of that member attests alike to the
grip that the physician had upon his
profession and his confidence in mod
ern methods of surgery. That he has
succeeded under the circumstances is a
splendid testimonial alike to his skill,
close application and devotion to the
welfare of his patient.
The injured arm from its contact
with the ploughed field was in a dread
ful condition and it was fully three
weeks before the physician could get
the arm clean and ready for the pro
cess of skin grafting. It was necessary
to administer anaesthetics to the pati
ent each day for a week while dress
ing the injury.
It was nearly a month after the ac
cident before the first skin could be
grafted and then the surface to be cov
ered was of such dimensions as to
uearly discourage hope of success.
There seemed to be but practically one
source from which to obtain the skin
for the process of graftiug and that
was from tin' boy himself. All the
rest of the family were needed to con
duct the affairs of the farm and to
have placed them under the surgeon's
knife in tliis way would have incapa
citated them for work.
The skin needed was taken first from
Howard's limbs and then from his
sides, cut in strips some two inches
long by one inch wide. An anaesthetic
had to be used with each operation
and but a very small surface could be
covered at one time. The body where
the skin had been removed had to be
given an opportunity to heal and thus
skin could be grafted only at intervals
of three weeks. Meanwhile the phy
sician succeeded in drawing the muscle
together where the bone was exposed
and the process of geueral healing be
gan.
Nothing more tod ions along with the
painfuliiess of the thing can be con
ceived of. By the first of September
after over two months of skin grafting
the greater part of the arm was still
exposed. Meanwhile the boy's limbs
and liis sides were kept raw where the
>ki 11 had been removed, although care
was taken to produce liealing as rapid
ly as possible.
To afford the poor Iwv relief the ex
periment of using the skhi of a chick
en was tried. This was likewise dem
onstrated as a success. The skin from
under the wing of a living chicken
was grafted onto Howard's arm along
with the skin from the other parts of
his own body and one grew as well as
the other. All through the autumn
and early winter the skin grafting
went on, the last operation taking
place about three weeks ago.
Howard is now practically well again
and is assisting his father on the farm
and does all kinds of work. Despite
the discouraging outlook at the time
of the accident the boy lias regained
the full use of his arm and he finds
that it is as strong as it ever was. The
only results of the accident that re
main are the deep scars that cover the
boy's body, both where ti»e skin was
removed on his limb* and sides and on
his arm where it was grafted. The
scars, however, can l»e easily borne,
considering that recovery lias come af
ter such terrible injury and such a
long siege of doubt and suffering.
