SPECIAL LIST OF JURORS The Court's decision to try Peter Dietrich at the February term caused a good deal of hustling about the court house Friday night and Saturday iu order to get all the machinery in op eration necessary to carry out the plans at such short notice. None were busi er than Prothonotary Vincent, who had to get the attorneys together and assist in getting word to W B. Moore, the jury 'commissioner who resides some seven miles out of town. Know - iug what was pending Mr. \ iucent early Saturday moruiug before the r. 112. d. carriers staited out dropped a letter in the mail for Mr. Moore. He fore the mail arrived at Swenoela,how ever, Mr. Moore had started to town and when he arrived and found that he was wanted here in his official cap acity, then he had not the keys with him used in connection with tlie jury box, of which he is the custodian. Before this time Curtis Cook, the other jury commissioner, had taken hold of the matter. He met Mr. Moore when the latter arrived in tow 11 and rendered much assistance. By calling the rural telephone into play they suc ceeded iu getting word to Mr. Moore's home, in response to which his sou soon started out for town with the keys and arrived here in time to en able the jury commissioners to draw the 'M additional names and place them into the hands of the Sheriff suffici ently early iu the day to enable him before night to serve notice in j>erson upon those required to apj)ear.

Attempt to Burn School House. Mt. Zion school. Cooper township, taught by Miss Blanche Riffel.of Riv erside,|was closed Monday as the re suit of what would seem to be a studi ed attempt to burn down the build iug. Twice the school house was made the object of attack and the building had suffered to such an extent that i 1 was necessary to hand it over to the carpenters Monday, for general re pairs. On last Saturday night a week the school house was broken into by sonit miscreants,who played havoc with the contents and probably endeavored to burn the building. When Miss Riffe entered the school room on Monday following a scene of confusion met hei gaze. All about the floor lay frag ments of burned paper and nearly cv ery desk had been ransacked. The tablets were taken out and burned. A case of lead pencils were missing en tirely and all the school supplies had been disturbed, if not carried off or de stroyed. In the book case was found r lot of burnt paper indicating that the tablet leaves had been thrust inside and then set on fire, the evident intentioi: being to burn the school house. The book case doors were found closed, tht absence of air probably explaining why the fire went out. The miscreants had gained admittance by removing a pain of glass from one of the windows. On last Thursday night a fire broke out in the same building the origin ol which is hard to explain upon am other theory than that another attempi was made to bum the school house The fire originated between the ceiling and the roof,consuming two joists and burning a hole in the ceiling, aftei which it went out of its own accord. The chimney is a thoroughly safe one, carefully built with the specia object in view of preventing fire. Nt one can understand how the fire could in any way have communicated. It is rather believed that the miscreants whr made the first attempt on the building started the blaze selecting a sj>ot neai the chimney in order to disarm sus picion in case the fire failed to hurt to a*finish. The school directors of Cooper town ship are Alonzo Manser,Jacob Shultz, Barton Foust, I. H. Weaver, Bruce Ploch and Charles Fry. These gentle men are much mystified by the pecu liar chain of circumstances and will leave no stone unturned to prevent a repetition of the attempt to burn school property and will endeavor at the same time to bring the would-be incendiar ies to justice.

Come and help , to uutka the affair a •uorutgs NAT WETZEL TURNS AUTHOR Que of the most valuable contribu tions to the current number of the ' 1 Saturday Evening Post," i> by a former Montour County man, Mr. Nat Wetzel, whose boyhood was spent in Liberty township. The article in ques tion is entitled, " Weather Prophet- in Furs and Feathers." Mr. Wetzel is a great lover of birds and as a poultry fancier lias a reputa tion that is little short of national. He advances the proposition that while the forecasting of the state of the weather by man more than a few days ahead is mere guesswork, "the little weather observers in furs and feath ers have Strang- gifts of prophecy which enable them to make long dist ance forecasts with accuracy." Mr. Wetzel's article is well worth perusing on account of the valuable information it contains, while to resi dents of Montour county it possesses a strong local interest lty reason of its frequent allusions to the writer s boy hood home and the woods thereabout where he took his tirst lessons in be coming familiar with the habits of the little animals in fur- and feathers. Mr. Wetzel was in Danville only a few months ago and made a visit to his old homo. He pleasantly alludes to his visit in tlie "Evening Post article. He affectionately alludes to his grandfather—the late Redding Haring—who helped him to tap the tirst rod squirrel nest and taking out several quarts «112 nuts ventured the prediction that they were going to have a'severe winter—explaining that in some way the red squirrels know when a cold winter is coming and that the store of nuts laid up for a severe winter is invariably larger than when a mild winter is at hand, in which they will l>e able to supplement their stores with forage from day today. The article stated that the hole in the tree was carefully stopjied up again and that the squirrels continued to use the uest year after year. As the nut ting season drew toward a close each autumn tl»e writer would remove the packing and let the nut meats tall out into a little sack tied below the hole.- The supply of nuts in the hole varied from year to year and there was no es caping the fact that the heavy harvest of nuts from the larder of the squir rels always indicated a hard winter, whereas a light OJH'U winter followed a scant supply of nuts from the hole in the old tree. Mr. Wetzel takes up a mass of old weather sayings,which relate to birds. Some of these sayings his own experi ence verifies while others are disprov ed. He gives the raccoon credit as a "clever little forecaster so far as the coming of soft weather is concerned. If the weather is going to keep tight and cold Mr. Coon will lie quiet and snug in iiis home in a tree,but if there is a break-up coming lie is about the first to feel it in his bones and just does a little "hollering" to tell the wise ones about it. " "Deer are also keen to understand the coming of a flood or eveu of a wet storm. It is idle to look for them in the hollows when a spell of wet weath er has started in. They will have reached the ridges and the high spots before the rain—be sure of that." Mr. Wetzel's article is a lengthy one and interesting from beginning to end. The Yellow Fever Germ has recently been discovered. It bears a close resemblance to the malaria germ. To free the system from disease germs, the most < tfective remedy is Dr. King's New Life Pills. Guar anteed to cure all diseases due to mal aria poison and constipation. 2">o ;»t Paules & Co's Drug Store. Preparing for a Strike. In connection with the published statement that the thirty-four collier ies of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company at present are being worked to their utmost cap acity, it was learned from an inside source yesterday that by April 1 the company expects to have enough coal stocked to last until next September, if the anthracite miner should goon strike.
