SIGNS CONTRACT WITH WITCH Having lost nine head of valuable cattle within the past year and believ ing that a certain neighbor, who has been accused of being a witch, was ex orcising tier supposed evil influence over him and his pro|iorty, William Gottshall.a well known Mahanoy Val ley farmer, has signed a contract with the woman whereby lie agrees to pay her a certain sum of money in turn for which she consents not to cause injury to him or his for a term of one year. Every now and then,during tho past eleven months Gottshall, who is the owner of one of the finest farms in the Mahanoys and who is noted for being one of the ablest and most careful farmers in this section of tho State, has been losing his live stock The animals were found dead in their stalls or died while in the fields. The deaths did not, save the past few, occur reg ularly. Now a cow would succumb, several weeks later a pig would drop off. Then a horse died. Try as ho would Mr. Gottshall was unable to fathom the mystery. About four weeks ago deaths among the live stock became frequent and within two weeks two mules, a calf and a cow died. According to the story told when one of the dead anim als was burned there was a great noise in a nearby woods as of a rushing of a herd of horses. Unsatisfied with ordinary investiga tions Mr. Gottshall went to a neighbor [ who stated that he believed that one of tho five or six witches, who are be lieved by some residents of tho valley to inhabit tho beautiful stretch of farm land, was exercising her evil in fluence upon Mr. Gottshall and was causing the death of his stick. Accordingly,determined to do all in his power to prevent any further loss, the farmer went to one of tho witches and after a lengthy conversation with her finally came to tho agreement, reached above, namely, that for a cer tain sum of money which ho would pay to her if she would agree not to allow harm to come to Mr. Gottshall's stock for a period of one year com mencing from the time the contract was signed and the money paid. This was about two weeks ago and since that time nothing has happened on the Gottshall farm, the live stock seemingly in especially good health. The neighbors are watching with in terest tho outcome of tho agreement. Some believe in the power ot tho witches while others only smile when questioned and sta'o that there is some other cause for Mr. Gottshall's past misfortunes and that time will bear out their statements. One thing is cer tain tho contract has been signed. What The Kidneys Do. Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us .Strong And Healthy. All the b'o id in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When heal thy they remove about 500 grains of imonre matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left iu the blood. This brings on many diseases and symptoms piin in the back, headache, nervousness, hot dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disor ders of the eyesight and hearing, diz ziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi ness. dropsy, d. po-its in the urine, de.' But if yon keep the filters right yon will have no trouble with your kidneys. Augustus Hawn, ' Second St., Huntingdon, Pa., says:"lt was about }hree years ago that my kidneys lirst began to give me trouble.

Blee and Cliarlc- A. Wagner occupied the bench. The list of jurors was called, after which the constables made their re turns. The constables of Mahoning and Liberty townships reported the roads in bad condition. In Mahoning township I'doom road was specified, while in Liberty township the bridges were also reported bail. The court re ferred the roads reported in each town ship to the district attorney with di rections to take whatever action may he necessary in the premises. Benton 15. Brown was appointed tip staff to wait upon the grand jurv and George W. Bennett and MeClelhin Diehl as tipstatt's to wait upon the court. \V. J. Rogers was excused from the attendance at court as a grand juror. Wellington Rote was chosen foreman of the grand jury, after which the oath was administered and the court proceeded with the charge. 111 this the grand jurors were reminded of their prerogative to preservo the utmost secrecy of their proceedings, to the end that they might be shielded from all adverse criticism and be the bet ter enabled to perforin theirdutie; un influenced by fear or other considera tion. At 10:45 o'clock the court anaounc ed that it was ready to attach the case of Commonwealth vs. Peter Diet rich. It was decided, however, not to take up the case until 1:30 o'clock. Meanwhile the time was devot"d to miscellaneous business. When court convened at 1 M 0 o'clock the Peter Dietrich homicide case was at once taken up and the examination of jurors began. Peter Dietrich,the de fendant, was brought into court by Sheritf Maiers immediately after the ringing of the bell, lie wore a preoc cupied and anxious look,but otherwise ho seemed little the worse for his long confinement and on the whole seemed in much better condition to stand the ordeal than he did at the lirst trial. As in the former case William Kase West and Hon. Fred Ikeler appeared for Dietrich while Hon. H. M llinck ley was associated with the Common wealth as special council. Mrs. .lones, widow of James A Jones, the victim of Dietrich's bullet,occupied a seat at the Commonwealth's table. 111 the case of Commonwealth vs. Clarence Carr, the grand jury return ed a true bill. Ralph Kisncr, attorney for the defendant, explained to the court that a sister of the boy had in terested herself deeply in his case and that she alleges to have discovered evidence which has no yet been pre sented. Mr. Kisner said he hail just been called into the case and with the new evidence as a factor more time was needed to properly present the case. District Attorney C. P. Gearhart informed the court that under the cir cumstances he had no objection to offer. The court therefore announced that the case of Commonwealth vs. Clarence Carr would be continued un til the next term. The witnesses in the case were dis charged from further attendance at the present term of court. The lirst man examined for a place iu the jury box was John 11. Hunt.

CIMITTES NOli DUE NOVELS Burgess Walton, of Berwick, pro nounced a unique sentence on a "gang" of bad boys Friday. The method used by the Berwick burgess might be of some use to the Danville authorities in dealing with some of the youthful desperadoes that infest our town. The following is from the Blooms hurg Press: "Twenty eight boys, who were im plicated in the fight on Walnut street Tuesday evening, were given a hear ing before Burgess Walton Friday af ternoon. They had been given notice by Chief of Police Clavberger to ap pear at the town hall and many of the parents were present, with them. The ages of the hoy* ranged from 11 to IS years,the majority being of 11 and 15. The story of the tight given was that the trouble started Monday evening and on Tuesday evening the down towners gathered a gang to do up the up towners. There was a clash and Burgess Walton broke up tho fight. Some of the boys went, way when two boys who were the real instigators of tho trouble that resulted in the injury of Mrs. Seitz, came along in a wagon. One jumped oil' and hit one of the "up towners" on the leg with a stone and jumping back on the wagon drove off. lie was followed by a volley of stones and one of these hit Mr:. Seitz. "Tho boys had been giving trouble frequently and had refused to accept, warnings so that they deserved no leniency. The burgess was disposed to make an example of them as their ages were such that better conduct was to he expected from them. He finally decided tow ithhold his decision if the hoys pledged themselves not to smoke cigarettes, read dime novels, eongio gate on the street corners, or be upon the streets, unless with good excuse, ! after nine o'clock, for a period of one year. If any are brought, up for vio [ fating their pledge, for being in any I disturbance they will be dealt with 'double severity All the boys signed their names to the pledge." Returned from Hospital.

Pen :iypacker j was among a number of quests Jo at j tend by special invitation the first fall | meeting of the Daughters (if the Am- I erican Revolution, which was held at Harrishurg last week. The governor made an informal ad dress to tin) members, told several stories and concluded by reading a poem. Miss Pearson, regent Harrishurg chapter, presented the governor, who prefaced his remarks by saying that he was not prepared to give a written address, rather more of an informal talk. He spoke first of all of the patriotism which should abound in us and of our love of home, and deplored the fact that in the introduction of divers elements into our population there should be a lack of men and wo men to learn the arts that characteriz ed our early homes. "It is a good thing to he conserva tive —patriotism should begin at home, like other virtues." "Pennsyl vania." said he,"always anil ever ap -1" al.-s to me, and to all of you. The influence of this Commonwealth upon tlie nation is powerful. The States of Virginia and Massachusetts are sub stantially alike. In Pennsylvania the Dutch settled on the Delaware river, followed by the Swedes. Afterwards came the William Ponus. Later the Dutch from Holland,the Germans from the upper Rhine some French lluge nots and the Scotch Irish, a great div ersity of race and thought. Our State thus differs from other colonies, but it lias its disadvantages because the people ii unite I in thought cannot be united in effort. "Again, it has advantages; peoplo brought together in this way promote greater intelligence, greater liberality of thought. Philanthropy did for us what accident did for other nations, and laid the foundation of a Common weal th. " American institutions come from our own State. When the straggle against slavery began It commenced here The first abolition society was founded in Philadelphia. Art had its origin in our State; the first American scientific institution was in Pennsyl vania. The first law school aud the first medical school were connected with the University of Pennsylvania. In literature the German Hi hie, works of Milton, Homer, Shakespeare and others were all printed for the first time in Philadelphia. In war one-half tin; commanders-in-chief of the army came from Pennsylvania. The revolu tionary war began in the east at Lex ington and Hunker hill, hut became a struggle to gain possession of the Dela ware river; nearly all of the battles of George Washington were 112 tuglit around or near Philadelphia. The three most important events in Ameri can history happened within the con fines of a single State, the signing of the declaration ot' independence, the adoption of the constitution an I the battle ot Gettysburg."

QUESTION OF DRAINAGE The old problem of getting rid of ttie water which drains down from the Magill farm upon the borough at the head of Centre and Spruce streets, which lias been a cause of contention for many years pa-t, is just now 111 danger of leading to strained relations between the borough and Mahoning township, the two parties involved. The committee on streets and bridges of council met the supervisors of Mah oning township on Saturday afternoon and went carefully over the ground. The councilmen present were Amos Vastine, George Jacobs and T. W. Bedea. Edward L. White and William Wertmau were present as supervisors But little was accomplished by the meeting, the councilmen holding to one view and the supervisors to anoth er. At the rear of Cherry street is an alley, much used by general travel, Hanked on the east side by a deep mil ley. This alley in a general way fol lows the borough line, although if is a master of dispute just how mud), if any, of it is in the township. The councilmen feel convinced that only a few feet of it is in the borough. The supervisors feel equally sure that at some points the alley is practically wholly in the borough and in support of their position they cite the fact that the township has never repaired the alley, while the borough has I n til the borough line is located beyond dispute it will he impossible to deter mine whether the borough or township is responsible for drainage as it ittects the alley. It was decided therefore on Saturday to take no action in the matter until the borough surveyor locates the line. Mr. Keefer. the sur voyor, will probably he called to town this week. Regardless of the location of the line the township supervisors do not hold themselves responsible for the water which comes down from Magill's farm at the head of Centre and Spruce streets. In taking its course down through the borough they claim the water follows the contour or natural fall of rhe ground and that in order to protect the borough they are not ob liged to divert the water by an art it i cial channel through higher ground,esp ecially as such a course would lead to an undue accumulation of water at Bloom streJt. In this conclusion the councilmen, or at least, some of them, insist that the supervisors are wrong and that it is the township's duty to open and keep free from all obstruc tions the deep gutter flanking the east sido of the alley along the borough line. No special provisions have been made on Centre and Spruce streets for carry ing off the heavy accumulation of wat er that comes down from Magill's farm and the result is that both thor oughfares were very badly washed during the summer and had to have considerable money expended upon them and even now are in bad shape. Just what the outcome of the matter will be it is difficult to predict at this time. During the meeting Saturday the proceedings became rather warm at times, but it is hoped that, wise counsel and prudence will prevail. By each side yielding a little a compromise could be easily effected and each side would save money. Well Worth Trying. W.

From every section come good ace.mills of the vast quant ities of game this year. "This is so with pheasants, wild turkeys, deer, qnail.gray squirrels and rabbits. There will he more deer kill ed than for many a year. As for quail I have the best kind of reports, es pecially concerning the quail we got from Alabama for breeding purposes. Some of them have been seen leading Hocks of twenty-one, which is propa gating some. "The reports concerning deer are very encouraging, hut there are also reports that some are being killed out of season. We'll get the people who do that and teach them a lesson. I ac count for the increase in the amount of game to the fact that there have been few forest fires this year, owing to the increased vigi anco of the forest wardens, who are also game wardens, and the work of the people generally who are taking an interest in thegame question and are on the watch to pro tect game out of season, the laws re garding the auiou.it of game one man can kill during a season are observed. "The day of the pot hunter is gone in this State, and the men who kill game to ship it outside for sale have about been eliminated.
