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.

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 • h-alei- accused of selling candies in 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. Are you for Roosevelt? Then vote the Republican ticket. PERFECT CONFIDENCE.

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.

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.

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.

On the 19th of May, 1887, the Penn ' sylvauia legislature passed a law, eu ! titled, "An Act to organize and define ! rhe congressional districts in Penn sylvania." By this act our district, then known as the seventeenth, was originally formed, and is composed of the counties of Columbia, Montour, Northumberland and Sullivan. The act of 1901 apportioning the State into congressional districts made no change except that it is now known as the sixteenth district. November »i, 1888, C. R. Buckalew, of Columbia county, was elected as the first congressman from the new dis trict. His majority was 2,»>sfi over J. B. Robison.the Republican candidate. November 4, 1890, S. P. Wolverton, of Northumberland, was elected with a majority of 5,944 over W. C. Farns worth, Republican. November S, 1892, S. P. Wolverton was reelected over Chandler Eves, Re publican, by a majority of 5,303. November ♦», 1894, Monore H. lvulp, of Northumberland county, the Re publican candidate, was elected over C. R. Buckalew by a majority of 894. November 3, 189t>, Monroe H. Kulp was reelected over Alphousiis Walsh, of Sullivan county, the Democratic candidate, by a majority of 1122. November 8, 1898,Rufus K. Polk, of Montour county, was elected over W. H. Woodin, Republican,by a majority of 4,805. November ♦», 1900, Rufus K. Polk was reelected over Clarence F Hath, Republican, by a majority of 3,732. On or about the sth of March. 1902, Congressman Polk died, aud in Nov ember of the same year, Alexander Billmeyer, of Montonr county, was elected for the unexpired term. His majority over Win. K. Lord, Republi can, was 2,515. At the same time. Charles H. Dickermau, < I Northum berland, was elected over Fred A. God charles, Republican, by a majority of 848, for the two years,expiring March 4, 1905. In 1904 Dr. E. W. Samuel was the Republican cautlt late against Harry E. Davis, Democrat.

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.

Pent/., East Mahoning stieet, while playing at recess last Friday morning, fell anil sustained a fracture 'of the smaller bone of the right leg.

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.

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.
