It has probably very seldom if ever happened that the grand jurors got through with their work in one day, ©specially when such important and responsible duties devolved upon them • i the present term. Mon day, therefore, was a record breaker. The grand jurors did not come in un til 10 o'clock, yet between that time and four in the afternoon they receiv ed their charge, passed upon two im portant bills, one murder and the oth er aggravated assault and battery—ex amined the public buildings, presented their report and were discharged. Fol lowing is the grand jury's re]»ort: To the Honorable Judgea of the Court of Quarter Sessions of Montour County. The grand jury is pleased to report that it has performed its duty under the order of the court as expeditiously as possible. It has examined the pub lic buildings and finds the same in fair condition. The grand jury would recommend: At the court house—painting of the building outside, a closet put under rear steps in hall; also glass in panels of the front and back doors of hall. At the jail: Painting the wood work of the interior; also the cages. The grand jury would recommend the painting of all county bridges wher ever deemed necessary. JOHN L. CAMPBELL, Foreman. One oonsolation—the'roads can't get much worn TO PROSECUTE DE FIANT TEACHERS Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon, acting for the State Depart ment of Health will at once prosecute a number of teachers in different parts of the State who have absolutely re fused to comply with the vaccination law and who in defiance of this law are admitting uuvacciuated children to their schools. The attorneys for the department have all their evidence in hand for a number of these cases. Health Commissioner Dixon has also arranged to secure evidence in all other cases where the law has been violated. In addition, proceedings are to be taken against school directors and others who have conspired to have the law defied. The commissioner stated Saturday that every has been made to point out to the teachers their duty under the law. He has carried on a vigorous campaign of education. Thousands of circulars setting forth the true facts in reference to vaccina tion as a protection against smallpox have been sent out through every county in the state. He has written thousands of letters to teachers, school directors and parents personally, en deavoring to overcome the prejudice against vaccination and to counterbal ance the effect of the literature circu lated by the anti-vacciuationists. "I cannot express too strongly," said Heatlh Commissioner Dixon Sat urday, "my appreciation of the sup port I have had from the public press throughout Pennsylvania in educating the parents of our school children to the necessity of protecting their little ones against smallpox." Doctors Are Puzzled. The remarkable recovery ot Kenneth Mclver, of Vanceboro, Me., is the sub ject of much interest to the medical fraternity and a wide circle of friends. He says of his case: "Owing to severe inflammation of the Throat and con gestion of the Lungs, three doctors gave me up to die, when, as a last re sort, 1 was induced to try Dr. King's New Discovery and I am happy to say, it saved my life."

While attempting to escape being buried under a ton of earth Saturday morning, which caved in just over where lie' was working, Charles R. Dietterich, of Buckhorn, who is em ployed at the Normal School field, fell on a plow, breaking his upper jaw, knocking out his front teeth and receiving other serious injuries. With seveval other men who are digging the cellar for the new science building, Deitterick was plowing in the excavation, which is now eight feet deep. The frost leaving the round caused the bank to give way directly over Deitterick. In trying to jump out of the way, he fell on his plow, striking his jaw on the beam. While avoiding being buried, he sustained painful injuries. The upper jaw was badly broken au 1 splintered and all his front teeth knocked out. Several cuts were also inflicted in the face. He was hurried to the hospital, and when he arrived there he was so weak from the loss of blood that the physi cians were at first unable to do much with the fractured bone. The jaw was reset and the man taken to his home in Buckhorn Saturday afternoon. The best safeguard against headache, constipation and liver troubles is De- Witt's Little Early Risers.

HORSES COMMAND GUOD PRICES A very interesting horse sale at Hoke's livery stable, Saturday, broke up the monotom of an otherwise very dull clay. The horses were fine and what was of equal importance the crowd was large, made up of horse men great and small. Under such cir cumstances the bidding was spirited and the horses as a rule brought about what they were worth. Johnny Will iams, of Bloomsburg, was auctioneer, which makes it hardly necessary to add that things were kept moving and that the sale —which began at one o'clock —was over shortly after five. The horses—twenty-one in number— were shipped from Canada and arrived here on Friday afternoon. Naturally they showed the signs of fatigue and slight indisposition, from which they should recover in a day or so. Hon. Alexander Billmeyer bought probably one of the best, teams, a bay and a brown, fur $420. He also bought a fine dapple-gray for $220. A very fine team of bays was knock ed down to liveryman Hoke for £3OO. Bruce Kelley, of Washingtonville, bought a dapple-gray for $2lO. Theodore Hoffman bought a nice lit tle black for $125. A team of blacks was knocked down to John Crossley of Valley township for $195. A handsome team of large blacks brought S4OO. They were purchased by a man near Sunbury. The horses were shipped here and sold by P. G. Waldron, who deals ex tensively in horses and conducts sales in Luzerne, Columbia and surround ing counties. Notwithstanding the expansion of trolley lines, an 1 the use of automo biles there is no apparent decrease in the demand for horse.-. Indeed, they are said to be source in this section, a fact attested by the good prices com manded at the sale Saturday. This is owing to the fact that few if any horses are being raised in this section, experience proving that under the pe culiar conditions hero a full grown horses can be bought for less money than it costs to raise one. This leaves the field open for a line trade in horses ami experienced dealers like Mr. Wal dron do a profitable business.

Aid nature with Ayer's Pills NEW PRIMARY ELECTION LAW The uniform primary electiou law p;issod by tlio legislature is now up to the governor for signature. 'Die op ponents of tiie new measure claim it is unconstitutional because the bill carries two subjects, electious and a liquor clause; that the latter is not mentioned in the title aurl that itsfurs ther provisions permitting borough and townships to hold elections other than those specified in the bill is speci al legis at ion. The lew law goes into effect Nov ember , 1906. This date was decided 011 for fie purpose of permitting city and cov lty commissioners to adjust thei •rt 'os to suit and also that the bill ma not interfere with the ap proachi ig primary elections. It als> provides for separate official ballots or each party, for the naming of independent candidates,for the pay ment of all expenses by the state, for the del tificatiou of voters by existing laws on that subject, and for a re count and an appeal to court by an aggrived person, beside other protec tion measures to insure the purity of the ballot. As passed it provides that no liquor shall be sold between the hours of 1:00 and 9:00 in the evening on the two an nual primary election days. One of these falls on the fourth Saturday be fore the February election and the oth er on the first Saturday in .Tune,except in presidential years, when it comes on the second Saturday of April. Tlie ameutlineut was made necessary because of the election laws. Prim- j aries are tn lie subject, hereafter, to i the same rules as elections. The pri mary polls are to bo open ou Saturdays from 2:00 to 8:00 in the evening and the saloons are closed an hour before and reopened an hour after it is over, j Under the new law all political parties will hold their primary elec tion at the same time and same place. Each party will have a separate ticket oa which will be the name of the can didates. Those getting the highest vote will be placed on the ticket, and the electors will thus vote twice for their favored candidate—once at the primary and then again at the general election. There will be no more delegates or conventions. A primary election will be held in each precinct in the same manner and by the same officials that conduct the general electiou,and they will be paid by the state. The new law results in the hotel men being compelled to close their places of business four days each year instead of two, because of elections,and as the primaries are held on Saturday the new law does not meet with much ap proval from hotel men. This year's Democratic and Republi can county conventions may be the last held in Montour county,and it has already suggested that a return to the old meetings will be nceessary to get an expression of party opinion on live issues. Party rules, in a great measure, are wiped out by the new primary elec tion law, and candidates are already wondering how the law will affect them v hen it once gets into practical operation.

GIBSON PICTURE fID SEBESJDLLECTOBS Takes Place of Tost Card Craze With the Young Women. ; The Gibson picture habit has be«n ef fectually fastened on a big proportion of j the reading population of this section by I the publication by the Sunday North American of ten of the latest of this great American artist's pictures as art supplements. It has started the Gibßon collection fad, and this promises to last until the last of the pictures are out. There was a time when the Gibson girl was the idol of the young woman. Now the Gibson art supplement gives every body an opportunity to collect the artist's works, and there will be few homes that will not have a good representation with in the next few weeks. For the time being the collection of Gibson drawings has taken the place of the collection of post cards In Philadel phia, and the fad is certain to spread to all of the towns where the pictures are made so easily obtainable. The picture which The North American Is to issue next Sunday is "A Castle lt» the Air." It Is one of the most forceful of Gibson's works, and teaches a broad moral lesson to young people and old •like. < Has Accepted New Position. ! K- P.
