A fresh outbreak of diphtheria has
occasioned a good deal of anxiety
unioug the teacher.- and patron- of the
second ward schools. Four new cases
have developed since last Friday. Fol
lowing the practice of immediately
dismissing and disinfecting the school
room when a case of diphtheria de
velops among the Jpupils Tuesday in
tie second ward no less than three
n hook were closed while the rooms
were being fumigated.
The school authorities especially,are
watching the situation with uo little
anxiety. There is a lack of precaution
among ttie citizens which will be
pretty -ore to bear fruit in a general
spread of the disease if something i.-
nit done to restrict intercourse be
tween the infected households and
neighbors. Citing an instance that
occurred during the present week a
gentleman of veracity, who is in a
position to know whereof be -jieaks,
states it is a fact that as soon as the
card announcing "diphtheria" was
hung out the house became seemingly,
not an object of dread, but rather an
object of curiosity and, incredible as
it may seem, was visited at all hours
by women and children ofjthe neigh
borhood.
This affords some idea of the situa
tion that the conscientious teacher and
school officers, who are always on the
alert to keep dowu disease, have to
face in the present emergency. In ev
ery lustance the pupil who is known
to have visited a house where diphth
eria exists is excluded from school un
til a limit of safety has !>een reached.
But it is iu the case of the other and
larger number who have exposed them
selves to contagion without being de
tected that the real danger lies. These
children, who are not excluded, are
apt to bring the germs of the disease
into the school room and themselves
eventually develop the disease while
attending.
It would certainly seem to be high
time that the board of health should
■ xercise the authority vested within
it and adopt some regulation that
would restrict intercourse with fami
lies ui which diphtheria aud like exist
—regulations that would really mean
-omething in the effort to prevent the
introduction and spread of contagious
and infectious diseases.

GRAFT CHARGE!!
FOR SIMMERS
Special Agent Robert M. Simmers,
of the Mate dairy aud pure food de
partment, well known iu Montour and
surrounding counties, where he has
prosecuted a number of cases,and who
as late as Thursday—the very day his
I downfall took place—caused the arrest
of ,T. A. Richie and A. Adolfi, of Ber
wick, has been suspended with charges
1 (if graft of w ide sweeping character
hanging over his head. Commissioner
Warren, of the pure food department,
at Harrisburg, is now working night
and day to ascertain the full extent of
the alleged grafting.
The expose came out in Philadelphia
Saturday uight when D. Clarence Gib
boney, who aited as special counsel
for < 'ommissiouer Warren in the settle
ment of poisoned candy prosecutions,
laid bare the situation before a Phil
adelphia audience. He told of how on
July 31>t last.Dr. B. 11. Warren,dairy
an 1 food commissioner, retained him
- special counsel to prosecute certain
violators of the pure food laws which
I id been lying for a long time untried
and Warren's best efforts had failed to
1. ive them disposed of. Among the
first eases lie took up were those of

w !,i h was used glucose bleached with
sulphur dioxide,which is poison. This
dosed glucose was supplied to the
t by the ComJProducts Refining
company,a corporation owned aud cou
trolled by the Standard Oil company.
After making the bluff of fighting the
ise- the legal representative of the
glucose trust came to Philadelphia,
t .rcw up his bauds aud agreed to
withdraw from Pennsylvania every
barrel of its doctored glucose.
During a conference with the rep
resentative of the glucose company be
was told that the total fine aud costs
in each case would be about ftiO. The
lawyers of the trust expressed surprise
at this and said that iu some cases up
the State,especially Luzerne aud Lack
i awanua counties, the tines aud costs
, had run as high as SBO in a single case
and that one defendant had even paid
A special officer was immediately
-ent to Scranton to investigate and he
also visited other towns where com
plaints of overcharge had been made.
Each case was carefully looked up aud
it was soon apparent that Simmers had
been systematically collecting from
the convicted dealers money in excess
of the legal charges and costs and had
been dividing the graft with the mag
istrates and justices of the peace be
fore whom the cases were heard. The
facts learned were perfectly clear and
confessions of truth have been obtain
ed from justices of the peace.
The full extent ot Simmers' graft
has not yet been discovered and some
startling developments are expected.

Flag Pole Blown Down.
The fifty-foot Hag pole ou the third
ward school grounds was blown down
during the high wind on Saturday
evening. Its position was such that
under the direction of the gale pre
vailing it fell alongside the school
building and did not injure any one.
The pole was planted only a few years
ago. but decay seems to have rapidly
done its work and it was in such a
condition that the wonder is that it
did not fall under a less violent storm
than that of Saturday evening. It
would be a wise precaution to careful
ly inquire into the condition not only
of such poles but also of trees and the
like that stand in town to see whether
they are sound and able to withstand
a wind storm. Thus a damage to
property and even injury to human
beings might be averted.

THOUSANDS VISIT
H CAPITOL
The second eapitol excursion poured
thousands and thousands of people in
to Harrisburg on Saturday and from
early in the morning until well into
the afternoon the magnificent building
was like a bee hive,with people swarm
ing into every department of it, ad
miring its beauties and taking advant
age of the opportunities to sit in the
chairs of the State officials and to peer
about in the sacred places where usu
ally ordinary people do not get.
The crowds began to arrive in Har
risburg about 10 o'clock and from then
on until noon they kept coming by the
train load. It was estimated from the
figures given out by the railroad and
trolley compauies that there were
about 8000 sightseers in the eapitol on
Saturday. From South Danville 124
tickets were sold.
Everybody wanted to see the gover
nor's reception room and the other
show places of the building, and
especial care was taken by the police
men and other State employes to show
the visitors to these places. Every
door leading into the departments
was open,aud the visitors were allow
ed to come and go at will.
Governor Penuypacker spent the en
tire day in his office shaking hands
with the visitors. The eapitol was
lighted from basement to dome, and
every courtesy was shown the visitors
by the people at the eapitol. The gov
ernor was the only State official in
Harrisburg, and his pleasant smile as
he shook each visitor's hand gave the
impression that he was glad so many
had come to inspect the building.

REDS WON BY
NARROW MM
The Y. 11. C. A. membership cou
test, in which the Reds and the Blues
imve struggled for supremacy, closed
Saturday uiglit with a blaze of fire
works aud a Hare of fife ami drum,ami
with the Reds leading by a small mar
gin.
The contest closed promptly at 10
o'clock and as the time drew near for
the end it became clear that the finish
was going to be very close. All Sat
urday evening the member- of the con
testing factious were on the -treets
with red and blue lights aud the can
vassers were hustling to get the last
few subscriptions into the V. M. O.
A. building before the clock struck
ten.
The contest was successful beyond
the most sanguine expectations of its
promoters. The Danville association
is richer bj T just $964 on account of
the contest aud 111) new members have
been added to the Association lists.
For this fiue showing credit is due to
George R. Beruhard, the enterprising
general secretary, who instituted the
contest and who, during the two
mouths of its duration, remained
neutral, giving aid and good advice
impartially to both sides. Also a great
deal of praiso is due to Walter Lovett,
leader of the Rids and to.Toseph Divel
leader oft lie Blues. They directed
i their forces admirably and allowed no
I petty jealousies to enter into the keen
i rivalry that existed. They, and the
! members under them,worked hard aud
1 they are happy now to accept as their
only reward the knowledge that the
Danville Y. M. C. A. will reap the
j benefits of their labors.
There are three degrees of member
ship in the Y. M. C. A.—senior, %:> a
year; intermediate, £4 a year; and
junior, #.'? a year. Each member add
| ed to the list, \\ hether a new one or a
.renewal, whether a senior, intermedi
: ate or a junior, counted one point for
the side submitting the name. In the
tiual count Saturday night it was
, found that, in tlie time since the con
test began ou the 4th of September, the
Rods had turned in 104 poiuts aud the
Biues 101, giving the Reds the small
l lead of 3 points by which they won
1 the contest.
The Ladies' Auxiliary is now plan
ning a pleasant conclusion to the con
test. It is the intention to give a
banquet to the old and now members
at the Y M. C. A. on November 22nd.
The plans for the affair are most > la
borate. Turkey is to be the principal
feature of the menu and speakers of
note will supply the po-t prandial
oratory. The banquet is to be given
iu two sections ; the juuiors will be
invited to be present at 5 o'clock and
the seniors at 7 :30.

RESULTS OF
| THE STRIKE
Editor AMERICAN.
Sir:—Every readar of the Arneri
j can has read with great interest tlie
articles written by various coutribut
! ors, concerning the local strike.
The writers were, no doubt, correct
iu their statements regarding figures,
etc.,but iu writing this article I shall
not dwell upon figures at all, but con
fine myself to facts.
We are about rounding out the
fourth mouth of this unfortunate state
j of affaiis, and 1 beg mv readers to re
view the past two years and compare
them with the present time. About
; two years ago Danville was celebrat
i ing the various improvements that
prosperity had given her, a well de
i served pride in a town that had been
i improved and made to stand upon an
equality with sit-ter towns. To what
class of citizens can we credit this ad
vancement? The answer must be—
, largely to the labors of the iron work
er, the very boue anil sinue of Dan
ville.
Two 3*ears ago prosperity hoverd ov
er our entire community. Our eurb
j stone market fairly groaned with good
, things and farmers went home with
i fat purses. On Saturday evenings the
J streets were thronged with crowds of
I well dressed men an 1 women aud store
keepers aud other business men had
all they could do to wait upon the
crowds standing at their counters. All
were satisfied everyone was happy.
Grim want was absent and every
where joy and merriment found free
expression.
Six mouths ago a note of discord
was sounded. Men ami women with
grave faces hoped there would he no
strike, for they knew well that the
old,happy,prosperous days would end,
and for a time, at least, much self
denial, not to say suffering, would
have to be endured. And it has come.
All friends of the wage earner hoped
to see ills desire sjioedily granted,but,
alas! time is speeding ou and no hope
is in sight. In the meanwhile think ot
the suffering that must surely come in
a few short weeks should tin's strike
continue. The leader o'lthe union 'j< -g
--ged the citizens to help the iroi work
ers in their .-truggle. I believe the
citizens of Danville want the men to
get tlie advance, but what can the
j merchants and business men give be
side their sympathy? \nd sympathy.
lam sure, won't feed the hungry,
i clothe the naked and warm the trcz
ing women and children. The brunt
of the strike is most keenly felt by the
; helpless women and children and just
notice how nobly the women are work
in:: ami enduring to help the cause.
Iron workers, do you recollect the
i ir.i times we all experienced when
tlie mill burned down a few years ago?
' Do you not remember how you fought
the greedy flames that were sweeping
! away your means of support? How
men who had grown gray in the em
ploy of the Reading company wept as
they saw the blackened timbers, and
how we sent a committee of men to
Read ing to a>k that the mill be rebuilt
| aud Danville be maintained among the
; foremost of the iron towns of Pennsyl
vania' And, Oh! what a sigh of relief
and many a "Thank God" went up,
when we heard that the Reading com
pany would rebuild the mill. And
wasn't it a glad day when the first
tires were relit and the whistles blew
ami the men trooped forth as of old?
Think of the long cold "winter that
will soon be upon us. Thanksgiving
and Christmas, glad seasous of the
year, will be buf a mockery if the
"Big Mill" is idle. The untold suffer
ing and misery ami want that are be
ing felt even now, will surely be our
lot.
With the "Big Mill" idle our irou
workers must seek employment else
where, and their hard earned wages
will goto make another town prosper
ous, while their homes here are sad
dened by the absence of the husband
and father.
I ask, must we sit idly by and see
prosperity pass us while we endure
privation and want? Can there be no
arbitration in this case? Other differ
ences have beeu settled satisfactorily;
why not ours, when the happiness,the
welfare, yes, the very life of the town
demands a settlement.

DANVILLE CROWDED
OFF THE MAi'
There was mucn surprise, cou]»lt»cl
j with indignation, among our business
| men Thursday when the "Conimerci
il and Financial Chronicle" of Octo
\ ber 2'), made its appearance in towu
j and it was fonnd that so far as the D
; 1.. & \V. railway company is concern
i I'd the town of Danville is no longer
ion tin- map. On page -11> of the hook is
i fu'l page in (i i) of the Delaware,Lack
j .iwitiiii » and Western railroad and
i through connections, which enters
j largely into detail and presents even
; the way stations. Yet this map had
jno room for Danville. Commencing
j with Northumberland nearly every i
| other station on the division between
the latter place and Scrantou is given 1
I Bloonisbnrg is printed in large letters.

i still harder C imerou. some four miles !

I iug off j)i ic<* iii the fields, is shown on -
the map, the name like the two ah ive j
! mentioned ti wns being printed in!
| plain type. But one looks for Danville <
in vain.
If this should be an inadvertent I
omission it would be very unfortunate
! under the present circumstances uf
course, but one view is taken of the
matter by our citizens and that is that
the omission is only another thrust at
Danville by the D. L. & W. railroad
company, which has been at logper
heads with the borough for some years.
If is very utifortuuate that more amic
able relations can tint be maintained
between the I). L. & W. railroad com
panv and the borough of Danville, as
' I hi' fact can not be lost siulit of that
i each needs the other and that petty
j •'knocking",while it may momentari
' ly gratify a feeling of resentment, can
| in the end work nothing but injury to
I both sides
' Taking in the entire population of
Danville if is doubtful if more than a
very few have taken sides in the con
troversies affecting the D. L. & W.
company. Without questioning the
wisdom of the borough council in de
ciding not to purchase coal of the D.
1 L. & W. company, it was but a retal
iatory measure adopted by men of
shoit-lived authority, who may or may
not have voiced the sentinent of the
majority of the people. Above all, the
D. L. & W. company by referring to
its hot ks could at any time have seeti
to what extent the people of Danville
| are broad and liberal in the matter
and are bestowing a proportionate
share of their patronage upon the D.
L. &W. company. To this class of
people, whose interests of course are
identified with the town,the omission
of Danville from the map is especial
ly offensive and is considered a poor
return for their support and patron
age.
The deliberate omission of a town
from a railroad map would seem un
worthy of a great corporation, which
is supposed to be governed by settled
methods and to understand the value
lof business principles. That the act
j will he approved by those highest in
authority is doubtful,

Leg Broken at Recess.
Harold Pentz, the 15-year-old son of
' IS. D. Pent/., East Mahoning stieet,
while playing at recess last Friday
morning, fell anil sustained a fracture
'of the smaller bone of the right leg.
The young man did not realize the ex
tent of his injuries and walked back
to the school house and completed the
morning session.
Young Pentz and some other boys
were playfully running after each oth
er at the corner of Mill and Mahoning
streets during the recess period y ester
! day morning when Pentz fell striking
his ankle against the stone curb. The
pain at the time was rather severe, but
lie returned to school, and, although
he suffered more as the time passed
by, he braved out the situation until
noon, when, upon going home, it was
discovered by his parents that the
ankle was broken.
Dr. Patten was summoned and re
duced the fracture. It will he some
six or eight weeks before the young
man will again be able to use the
limb

What to Do.
Ther<; is comfort In the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swarnp
koot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or Leer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won

Postage Stamps for Each Town.
A form of postage stamps witli the
names of the cities for which the
stamps are issued printed on the face
as part of the stamp is proposed under
the terms of the bids for a new issue
for the next four years, opened in the
purchasing agents' office of the Post
office department yesterday.
If the bid for the new style is ac
cepted the Postoffice department will
order special stamps for the twenty -
six largest postoffices, including the
abbaeviations of the States in which
they are. For the remaining postoffices
of the three higher calsses —in round
numbers about .5,900 offices—ordinary
postage stamps will be overprinted
from electro-type plates across the face
with the names of the postoffices and
abbreviated State names.
The proposal to make this change in
design of the stamps is the result of
an investigation by Postmaster Gener
al Cortelyou, who decided that there
were many advantages to be achieved
by printing the names of the post
offices on the stamps, and thus localiz
ing them, the principal object for the
purpose of identification. It is believ
ed that the system of accounting in
the stamp division can be greatly
simplified by specially designating the
stamps issued for the larger postoffices.
In the supply diviison of the postoffice
much difficulty is experienced under
the present system.
high f\an at Lebanon.
Our townsman, W. '1 Speiser, one
of the leading marksmen of the State,
further distinguished himself at the
two days' shoot held at Lebanon ou
Friday, the 26th iust, under the au
spices of the kuu club of that city.
On the first day of the shoot the
targets were blue rocks ; on the second
day live birds.
It was during the live bird shoot
that Mr. Speiser won the honors of
the day and received as a prize a
beautiful medallion for a fob guard or
chain. It is of gold, studed with dia
monds, which half encircle a small
figure in relief.
It was a free-for-all and to win the
prize the contestant had to shoot the
entire program, at 29 yards handicap.
Mr. Speiser accomplished the remark
able feat of killing thirty-four birds
out of thirty-seven.
In the blue rock contest the first
day Mr. Speiser won a hunting knife
and a gun case.
Cows Got Drunk.
After partaking of a quantity of
pomace, the residum of cider, which
had been carelessly dumped in a past
ure, a herd of cows belonging to Mrs.
Lavina Schaßck, of Williams' Corner,
Montgomery county, became glorious
ly drunk, and did considerable dam
age. They broke down fences and did
other injury, aud several of them lie
came so sick getting on their "jag"
that a veterinary surgeon was sent
for. Two of the herd died from the
effects of the spree.
Belated Thunder Storm.
A heavy thunder shower in all re
spects like the midsummer article vis
ited this section on Saturday evening
It was probably the last of the season,
but it was not deficient in any of its
features on that account.
The weather conditions were threat
eniug all day aud the thunder shower
was the culmination, which was fol
lowed with cooler and clearing weath
er. About half past four o'clock the
western sky assumed a most threaten
ing aspect and a short time after the
storm broke loose. The wind blew
with almost cyclonic fury, the rain
poured for nearly half an hour, while
the electrical effects were a feature.
