WHOOPING GOD6H HOUSE PLACARDS State Health Commissioner Samuel (i. l>i\ou is after whooping cough. By seeing to it that the proper precau tions are being taken to prevent the spread of the disease and by educating the people to the necessity of such pre cautions. he expect- to materially re duce the number of cases of this dis ease which annually causes the death of so many infants and small children in Pennsylvania. TO PLACARD HOUSES. An innovation which State Health Commissioner Dixon will introduce will he the placarding of houses in which a case of whooping cough ex ists. The placard will state:"All per sous are notified of the presence of this disease and are warned of the danger of visiting or coming in contact with those sick with it. " In the circular of rules to he observ ed in the care and mangeuientof cases of whooping cough. Dr. Dixon, after warning persons of the fatal results of whooping cough and its associate com plications, instructs that children with whooping cough must l>e prevented from coming in contact with other children as long as the disease last. T< i PROTECT SCIIO< )L CHILDREN. Special precaution must, he taken to prevent the spread of this disease among the school children, and there fore children suffering from whooping cough must lie excluded from school during illness, and other children in the infected house hold ilk list be ex eluded until it is demonstrated that they have not contracted the disease. Whooping cough is communicated direct from the sick to the well through the breath—especially during the act of coughing. However, there is good reason to believe that the poison may be harbored about the rooms and cloth ing, and for 111 - reason Health Com missioner Dixon calls attention to the necessity of proper disinfection. CLuTHINU TO HE DISINFECTED. All bed and body clothing including handkerchiefs,towels, napkins, cloths, etc., used for the collection of dis charges from the mouth and nose of the patient should be disinfected be fore being taken from the sick room. For this purpose he suggests a disin fectant 111 ado by dissolving one-fourth of a pound of chlorinated lime (bleach ing powder) in eight gallons of water, and allowing such articles to remain in the solution at least three hours be fore being washed. Eating utensils should bo scalded and remnants of food destroyed by buttling. When in the opinion of the attend ing physician recovery has taken place, the patient -liould be giveua bath and be provided with fresh clothing. * Following the recovery, death or re- patient the sick room and its contents should bo disinfected. THE SNAKES MUST CO. The crop of rattlesnakes over in Col umbia county is creating more inter est than the buckwheat- crop. The Hloonisbnrg Dailv says the yield of rattlers in the upper end of the cotin tv is unusually prolific. In two days the men engaged by a lumber firm near Elk IS rove killed nine of the snakes, one id' which in a tantrum of reptilian ire, jumped against one of the woodsmen's legs, but his heavy trousers proved an effective sheath Against the si-rpeiit's fangs. The Elk drove snakes must have especially bad manii< is and irritable dispftsitions,ami the public owes tin* woodsmen a debt >f gratitude for killing them oIT so lively. A rattle snake so selfishly in lined a- to want the whole woods to himself, ought to meet a viokuit fate. The temper of the snakes in the fam ous Fishing creek district of Columbia county i» so widely at variance with the delightful hospitality of the people of that section that the two are very naturally at enmity. A UK S APPLE CROP. We trust the promise of a big apple crop w ill be 112 ulfilled. There is no fruit grown which will equal the apple, to eat from the hand or table, so many different ways may if be served, and withal no fruit has greater credit for healthfnlncss, Reports from the extensive apple orchards of western New York show that the crop will be heavy and profit aide. This apparently holds good all over the country, and it is being pre dicted that the crop may be as great as tli «t of IH'.iti, which has hitherto held the recoid. There is alargerncrc age of trees now than f'ere was then, the trees are unite as heavilv fruited, and the quality is said to he unusual ly fine, ll is not to be expected that prices will run so high next Winter as they did i year ago.bnt without there should be an un< xpected slump in the market, the farmer who has a bearing apple orchard may expect to make a nice profit out of the crop. SPLENDID CROPS. Agriculture is kintr, and with the great crops assured it does not look as if adythin<; could now dull the pros pect of another year of prosperity ahead. Our crops last year approxim ated in value all the gold produce.)] in the world in thirty years. This year's crops are worth more. The railroads will have all tin v can do to move the crops, in addition to the other trafHc, and busy railroads mean busy coal and ore mines ami other kindred in dustries. Not So Horrible, After All.

Next - RIVER BRIDGE AS A RAGE COURiili That the trotting of horses on the! river bridge is not prohibited is well enough established. At the same time it might be proper for the comity com missioners to decide whether they ali gning to permit the bridge to he used j as a race course, where neck to neck ' races are pulled off at a rate of speed ; very nearly equal to the best trotting records. This is precisely what is being done nearly every day much to the annoy ance <if the general public which has a right to the use of the bridge with out exposure to any of the dangers in cidental to such a use of the driveway. Saturday evening afforded an instance of the extreme to which the practice of speeding horses is frequently carri ed. It was during tho interval between sunset and the lighting of the bridge, just as dusk was coming on. The side walks were filled with people, mostly women and children. Two nieii, both of whom are known, drove upon the bridge very nearly abreast. With a sharp word of command, which the horses, trained animals, well under stood, the two men started in for a race. The horses literally flew over the paved drive way. it is not hard to picture what might have occurred if the horses plunging along side by side occupying practically the entire width of the bridge had come in contact with a wheelmen in the dim light or if a child had wandered from the sidewalk into driveway just as the raco was on. The utmost indignation wa9 expressed by persons on the bridge and the at tent ion of the chief of police was call ed to the matter. If the welfare of the splendid bridge doesn't enter into it at all, it i.- ob vious enough that the safety of the public demands that racing ou the i bridge should cease. The matter will ! be laid before the county commission ers at their next meeting. Meanwhile the chief of police, who feels sure of Ins authority,so far as one half of tin river bridge is concerned, will make arrests if there is any repetition of Saturday night's racing.

Curinel Transit company held last week it was derided to increase the capital stock of the corporation from SBOO,OOO to $1,000,000 for the purpose of absorbing the Ash laud and Centralia Hail way company The concern owns a sixteen mile from rihaiuokin to Ashland, by w\iy of Mount Carmel and Centralia. The Ashlaud and Centralia Kuilw ly, a money maker from the start, was owned by a separate corporation com posed of favored stockholders of the Shamokin Mount Carmel Hail way com pauy, now the Transit company. This latest move has been simply a merger of the two companies,with no increase in bonds, common or preferred stock.

Locusts Blight Chestnut (irove. In the chestnut grove of Coleman K. Sober, of Lew isbnrg. in Irish val ley the work of destruction wrought bv seventeen year locusts can be seen on every tree and shrub. Fully a mile before the grove is reach en the effects of the blight are notice able, the great trees in the distance presenting the appearance of having been the centre of a forest fire. The leaves are brown and sere, as if killed by heavy frosr. I'rofessor Nelson F. Davis,professor of biology at Bueknell university,who recently iuspecred the grove, -ays it will take the tree- three years to re cover from the blight. The injury i- caused by the sting of the female locust when she deposits her eggs in slits which she makes in the smaller branches of the trees. Mr. Sober has nearly 400 acres in Paragon chestnuts. The trees tire still young, from three to seven years old, as tin v an grafted 011 native chest nut -prout- they begin to bear early. It was estimated that Mr. Sober's crop thi- \ 'ar would be considerably over ltiuo bushels of chestnuts,but ow ing to damage done by the locusts it will not be half that quantity. In sections of the orchard fully three fourths of th. bearing branches have been killed by the locust sting. 011 several trees not a green leaf was left,but new shoo*s are starting again, and very few trees will be billed. When the locusts began to swarm in to the grove in Juno Mr. Sober made an effort to keep them off, but it was like lighting against an incoming tide. Chickens were placed among the trees, and they did valuable work, They w mill leaf corn and run after the locusts, chasing them from morn ing until night. A few trees around the hennery, with nearly all their leaves green, shows the work done by the chicken- Binl: al-D uiil tin 11 part well, the English sparrow, robin, flicker, spar tow hawk and woodpecker were al ways 011 the alert.

MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR Night watchman W. E. Young was mistaken for a burglar on Saturday n11;lit and came very near receiving a l)ii lint in his body. Photographer James N. Irland on leaving his studio Saturday evening thoughtlessly left his hunch of keys behind. It was not until toward the hour of midnight that he missed the Keys and lie needed them badly. In leaving his studio be closed the lower front door after him, which fastens with a spring lock. The key to this door, however, along with every other oy the photographer owned, were on the ring up in the studio. Hunting up night watchman Young who is know a as a resourceful and ac commodating gentleman, Mr. Irland told him his trouble. In an instant the watchman had an idea. A few min utes later Mr. Youujf appeared in front of the studio with a ladder. This, however, proved too short to reach the window in front part of the studio. It was long enough, how ever, to reach the much lower awning next to it belonging to tlie building owned by 11. L. Gross. In a moment the officer saw how it could he done. He would climb up on the awn ing, drag the ladder up after him and with its assistance reach the higher window through which IK; could easily climb and obtain the coveted keys. The plan worked all right and the officer was crawling over the awn ing when all at once at his very ar, in an angry and excited tone he heard some one shout: "(Jet down out of this or I'll put a bullet into you"—or words to that precise effect The night watchman had just time to look up when he found himself staring into the barrel of a revolver, which almost touched his face. The watchman, however, doubted the wisdom of getting down in too big a hurry and he shouted back: "Don't shot, I'm the night watchman : I'm Constable Young; I'm no burglar!" Hut the man with the pistol.leaning out the window evidently didn't un derstand and still angry or excited while the night watchman begged, ordered the intruder to get out and kept on renewing his threats and brand ishing his pistol until it seemed clear that something was going to happen and the photographer as best part of valor sought refuge under the awning and John Kisenhart, who had just re turned home, leaped inside his store to get out of the range of bullets. By and by the facts dawned upon the man with the pistol. There was a good laugh, in which even the night watchman joined,after which the man who caused the trouble lent a helping hand and the keys were recovered.

NEIGHBORS SHOW GENEROSITY The farm of Olareileo Shultz, West Hemlock tewushi]>,on Friday present ed a busy scene when the whole neigh borhood turned into assist to harvest the oats crop. The bam of Mr. Sliultz was destroyed by lightning last Mon day,along with nearly all his wagons, his farming implements,harness, etc., and the timely assistance rendered to harvest his oats, well illustrates the generosity and the tine feeling of fel lowship and sympathy that prevails among rural folk. The oats covered a field of twenty five acres and the entire crop was cut and shocked with no other cost to Mr. ,Shultz than the furnishing of supper to the men engaged. The "frolic." lasted from 2to o'clock p. m. Five self binders were employe along with fifteen men who were kept busy shock ing the oats, which was very heavy. Of the self-binders used three were Deering and two Piano machines. Naturally there was a good deal of rivalry between the owners of the different binders to see which would make the most headway and do the best work among the heavy oats. Mr. Shultz has not as yet formed any definite plans as to rebuilding. Along with his barn seventy tons of hay and twenty-eight loads of wheat were burned. His loss in all was some 3:5000, which is less than one-hall' cov ered with insurance. Don't drag along with a dull, billions, heavy feeling. You need a pill.
