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.
Pleasant Surprise Party.
A very pleasant surprise party wae
given at the home of Mrs. Benjamin
Cook, Vine street,on Tuesday evening

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.

m. DAVID GROVE'S
BAD ACCIDENT
Mrs. David Grove, No. 218 Asli
street, fell on tlie ice Sunday evening
us the result of which she will be con
fined to her home i'or a longtime. She
was returning from church and had
reached the corner of Ash and Spruce
streets when slit' slipped on the ice and /
fell striking her hip. She was umthle *
to walk as the result of the fall and I
had to be assisted to her home.
Later Dr. Paules was called who •
made the discovery that tlie hip bone \
was broken. Such an injury, always \
very serious, is rendered more so in
the case of Mrs. Grove, who is well up i
inyears. She suffered a great deal of r]
pain at times. <
The pavements at this season become 1
very slippery at times and great can
should be exercised by pedestrians.
What aids in making the sidewalks
treacherous is the bad practice of slid
ing upon them frequently indulged in
by boys. The spots selected for this
sport are generally on a hillside and
there, smoothed down by the action of i
many feet, sliding one after another, (
the pavement becomes as smooth as
glass and it would be remarkable, in
deed, if now and then a fall did not i
occur at these places. Mill street even
is not exempt from nuisances of this
sort and frequently when there is ice
the concrete pavements are appropriat
ed by the boys, who soon render them
doubly tre tcherous by sliding upon
them. The practice should lit- stopped.
ONLY A LITTLE C<)LD in the head
may be the beginning of an obstinate
case of Na.» il catarrh. Drive out the
invader wi h Ely's Cream Balm appli
ed straight to the inflamed stuffed up

to use an ttomizer, ask for Liquid
