PASSENGER DIES
ON THE TRAIN
The Pennsylvania passenger traiu,
west, duo to arrive at South Danville
•t 4 :8l o'clock, Monday eve was tlie
scene of ranoh excitement caused by
the sudden death of one of the pass
engers, who breathed his la«r just af
ter tho train had passed Creasy.
The rnriu that died was James Dod
*on, of Nazareth, who was on his way
to Bloomsburg to visit relatives. At
bsi leaving Hazleton the man was tak
en ill and during the wait of over an
hour at Nescopeck, he called upon Dr.
Myers, a piiyeiciau of that place, who
Administered to him.
When the train arrived he felt bet
ter and resumed his Jonmey. As the
train sped on its way It was observed
that he w&a quite ill. Ho wad Desiring
his destination, however,and it would
only bo a short time until he was in
the hands of his friends. Meanwhile
the passengers did what they could to
relieve him. The train bad just passed
Creasy when he suddenly expired.
That the death caused quite a shook
among the passengers goes without
saying. The man's identity was re
vealed by a letter in his pocket from
his sister, Miss Maiy Dodson.of Blooms
burg. It was Miss Dodson and another
sister, Mrs. Emma Buck, of Blooms
burg, that he had set out to visit when
death overtook him on the journey.
The body was removed from the
train at East Bloomsburg and the rel
atives in Bloomsburg were notified.
Miss Dodson and Misß Buck were not
expecting their brother Monday and
when the news came that he had died
on the train and hiß dead body await
ed them their surprise and grief can
easily be imagined. The deceased was
68 years of age and was a widower.
Diphtheria In Eaat Danville.
Diphtheria in East Danville seems
to hang on with remarkable persist
ency and to defy all efforts to stamp
it out. At present it seems to have
gained a new impetus and a promin
ent physician is authority for the
statement that there are four compara
tively new cases in three different
families.
The physician in question feels that
there is a lamentable lack of precau
tion in the township and is apprehen
sive that unless the residents awake
to the full sense of their responsibil
ity there is no telling how many more
casos may develop in the near future.
There seems to be a common souroe of
infection and whether this is the pub
lic school or some other source an ef
fort should be made immediately to
find out where it is and to apply the
proper remedy. Fumigation is always
In order and if there are no disease
germs to kill there is nothing lost,
while should infection be present the
omission of such a precaution might
be followed with deplorable results.
Either owing to Indifference or lack
of information the most common pre
cautious to prevent outbreak seem to
be omitted in many families. Accord
ing to the physician quoted one fact
that all have not yet learned or at
least have not acted upon is that deadly
germs of diphtheria are likely to lurk
in household effects,and thus we have
the spectacle of the disease recurring
In the same family after intervals of
greater or less duration and that, too,
after the household has changed its
residence, showing that some agency
other than the dwelling has carried
the disease.
It is hoped that the pleasaut com
munity of East Danville will soon
unite upon some measure that will
effectually stamp out diphtheria. Uutil
this is accomplished there will be suf
fering and probably much sorrow
among the families there and a condi
tion of affairs will exist that must ex
pose surrounding communities to the
danger of Infeotion.
CAN'T REGULATE SPEED.
Jndge Doty, of the Westmoreland
eounty court,lias just handed down an
opinion in which he decided that a
municipality has no authority to make
regulations as to the speed of fast
trains through its borders. We have
not seen the opinion, but unless it is
reversed by the higher courts, then a
municipality lias also no right to lim
it the speed of automobiles or of fast
horses traveling through its limits and
is absolutely powerless for the protec
tion of its inhabitants against these
constantly increasing modern perils.

MAKE OP OF
NEXTJLEGISLATURE
Revised returns of Tuesday's elec
tion in the State show the following
composition of the next legislature:
THE SENATE.
Republicans .... 89
Democrats 11
Total 50
Republican majority 28
THE HOUSK.
Republicans 145
Democrats .... 57
Lincolnites 8
City Party 1
United Labor 1
Total .. 207
Republican majority.... 83
Twenty-four of the twenty-flve hold
over senators are Republicans and one
is a Democrat. Of the newly elected
senators, fifteen are Republicans, four
are straight Democrats ami six are
Democrats with the Lincoln party in
dorsement. This is a gain of one for
the Democrats.
Of the Lincoluites in the house,two,
John Geyser and J. Penrose Moore, of
Chester county, had Democratic in
dorsement. The other is Frederick C.
Ehrhardt, of the Third Lackawanna
district, who was a Republican mem
ber of the last house, and against
whom Che failed to nomi
nate a candidate. Andrew J Pfaff, of
the Seventeenth Philadelphia district,
was the only successful Oity Party
nominee,and John J. Casej,of Wilkes-
Barre, is the United Labor member.
Many of tho fifty-seven "Democrats"
were elected on Fusion tickets, and
some may vote with the Republicans
on purely political questions.
The last house consisted of 183 Re
publicans and nineteen Democrats.
Three new districts have been formed,
Increasing the total number of mem
bers to 207. The result of the election
shows a loss of forty seats to the Re
publicans, as compared with the last
house's membership of 204.
Patients Out of a Job.
The big crop of oom on the hospital
farm is all husked and the small army
of patients who delight in knocking
around out of doors and who took hold
of corn husking with a vim are now
out of a very congenial job.
There is no work on the big farm
that the insane men take so much de
light In as corn husking. Nearly a
hundred might have been seen at work
at one time, not a few of them being
very expert. The completion of this
job, which practically winds up the
work of the farm, deprives the pati
ents of the healthful exerci a e and div
ersion that proves so beneficial. Dur
ing the winter, of course, the pati
ents who work iu the summer are tak
en out daily for exercise,but it is only
a rhort airing aud no manner of a sub
stitute for the recreation of easy and
healthful employment on the farm.
With the privilege of working in
the fields, confinement at the hospital
for the iusune loses inuchof its tedium
and horror. Besides,those who so lab
or have the advantage of being fur
nished with tobacco free and can in
dulge in the weed without restraint.
Altogether while at work in the fields
the insane men frequently enjoy their
happiest moods.
A Heart to Heart Talk With The
Women and Qirls of
Pennsylvania.
Why a woman's page? Must women
be fed on special and diluted diet?
Can they not read as men road. •
They do read as men read —and all
that men read—and add the woman's
page to it.
Rightly conducted, it is the earnest
journalistic attempt to instruct more
than to amuse; well edited, it steers
clear of the encyclopedia and the
boudoir.
It should be all that a well-rounded,
interesting, helpful woman is—ready
to put out a strong guiding hand
wherever it is needed.
It must take itself seriously. It must
be honest, It must reflect what really
is, and suggest from experience what
might be.
A great class turns to the woman's
page for council, for advice, for sug
gestion. The ready made conventions
of one set of people would be a misfit
on another set, so why tell a woman
who has to cook and wash for a hus
band and six children how to instruct
a footman to receive the card.' nf full
ers?
A woman's page should be all thing
to all women.
No woman's pagti dt-seives success
that does not give to its least reader a
respectful hearing and the best advice
in itb scope, it must be kindly. It
must inspire confidence.
It must enter. into all the homely
duties of the housewife with zest and
enthusiasm. It must hold the affec
tionate friendship of its women read
ers.
All these things the woman's page
"THE PHILADELPHIA DAILY
PRESS" is and does—it is beyond
doubt the most practical and truly and
helpful woman's page ever offered
Pennsylvania women. Yon cannot af
ford to miss even one day.

TOTAL COST
OF ELECTION
The November election cost Montour
county a total of §">02.32. This in
clude# the pay of all election officers,
cost of printing ballots and election
supplies, ground reut for booths,room
rent, ect.
But two townships of tiie county
have voting booths,Mahoning and West
Hemlock. Three townships vote at
hotels -Yalley township at Mausdale;
Liberty, at Mooresburg and Derry at
Washingtonville. Washiugtonville bor
ough also votes at a hotel. Derry and
Limestone townships each vote at a
grange hall.
There are still two townships of
Montour county that hold election in
school houses, which is a matter of
much regret to the couuty commission
ers, who are trying to bring about a
sentiment that will disfavor holding
election in the school houses. The
time was not mauy years ago when
even the school buildings of Danville
were used for the purpose of holding
elections. The custom proved wholly
objectionable and except iu the First
ward, where the courthouse is used,
booths were erected. It it? evident that
the townships are falling in line with
the borough and the time can uot come
too soon when every school will be in
session on election day and the voting
done elsewhere.
Excursions Are Popular.
Tho peuuy-a-mile excursions to liar

STATE BOAR]
COMPLETES WORK
When the State board of trado met i
Saturday afternoon, withy Vice Presi- |
dent D. O. Shaw, of Pittsburg, in the j
chair, Secretary S. M. Williams an
nounced that he had received pledges
I'runi seveuty-fi' e per cent of the leg
islators elected last Tuesday that they
will voto for t\ o-cent passenger rates
on railways and to permit trolley lines
to carry freight "We may consider
the fight as woi," said Secretary Wil
liams, "but we will not so announce
it nntil the pledges are fulfilled."
For obvious r tason the names of the
pledged legislators are not made pub
lio.
The bill relating to passenger rates
provides not to exceed two cents a
mile, althongh they may charge as
much less as they please. The trolley
freight bill is of simple construction
and its meaning is conveyed in the
I title, which provides that carrying
companies of all kinds may carry
freight.
The board endorsed a resolution ask
ing for a garnishment law which will
attach ten per cent, of a debtor's
wages monthly, or its equivalent, in
the hands of the employer, until the
debt is paid, and declared for a rovis
! ion of the pure food law to conform
! with the national laws,
j A resolution was adopted favoring a
uniform system of public accounts and
a better system of investing public
J funds, the object being to secure a
uniform system of nmnicipal book
i keeping and an investment of public
| funds for the benefit of the municip
! alities.
j The following officers were elected.

Members <>f the State board of trade
when asked concerning the wisdom of
I the Pennsylvania Railroad company
adopting two-cent fares before the
Ramsey lines get through from Chi
cago to divert the traffic from the New-
Jersey coast resorts to the New Eng
land resorts, were unanimously of the
opinion that all of the railroads of the
State c<Wd not make the cut too soon
"It would be a good thing." said A.
M. Howes, of Erie, "for all the rail
roads to cut the rate regardless of
what other liii 99 are going to do in
the future. It might do away with the
necessity for legislation on the sub
ject, and lighten the burden of the
coming legislature. It would not only
I be a safe thing for the New Jersey
I coast resorts, but also for the mer
chants in the big eastern cities."
Secretary S. M. Williams thought
the law compelling railroad companies
to fix a two-cent rate should be passed
no matter if the companies should an
nounce a cut before the legislature
meets. "It will help travel for the
east on Pennsylvania lines," said Mr.
Williams,"and what is more it would
greatly iucrease travel. Look at the
great crowd of thousands who travel
ed to Harrisburg to see the capitol.all
because of the low rates. It would be
a good thing for the railroads."
H. D. Burlingame, of Altoona, said
that the board is not antagonizing the
railroads in advocating the cut iate,
but proposes to help them. If the com
petition from the west comes before
the cut, it might hurt Pennsylvania
railroads.
Auteu Displays Great Wisdom.
Judge Auten, by his latest judicial
decision, has good grounds for the
title of a modern Solomon.
It is now almost a year since a young
Shamokiu couple, Harry and Mary
Schneider, mutually decided that the
peace and happiness of the family
could be preserved only by maintain
ing a wide space between the respec
tive members. And so Harry took up
his abode in one end of the town and
Marv at the other. There would have
been no further trouble had it not
been for their two-year-old daughter,
Hilda, whom Mary took as her own
exclusive property. Hariy resented
this, and seized an opportuuitv to kid
nap the little girl.
The case came before court and argu
ments were heard last Monday. Judge
Auteu took several days to think if
over and has finally announced his de
cision. Mary is to have the child one
week and Harry the next. Neither
shall liavo any authority whatsoever
over her while she is in the possession
of the other. Should the child get sick
over Sunday a reconciliation of the
family might be unfortunately neces
sitated. It is just possible that the
judge had such a contingency in mind
when tie made the decision.

(■BE ARNOLD 1
ADJUDGED INSANE
The commission appointed by Judge
Evans to inquire into and report on
the mental condition of George Ar
nold, a prisoner from Montour coun
ty, serving time in the Eastern pen
itentiary, presented its report to court
| Saturday, ou the strength of which
the :ourt made au order committing
! the prisoner to the hospital for the in
sane at Norristown.
The commission,consisting of Charles
V. Aniermau, attorney at law; H. B.
Meredith, physician; and David Sliel
liart. layman; was appointed by the
court on the petition of the warden of
tlie Eastern penitentiary, who stated
that Arnold was undoubtedly insane
and was not a fit subject for penal
discipline. The commission visited
I the penitentiary aud examined wit
[ nesses, after which they made a report
| in effect as follow.-:
Tiiat they are of the opinion that
i the prisoner, George Arnold, is afflict
ed with delusions; that he is of un
sound mind aud consequently unfit for
penal discipline; also, that he is unfit
to be at large. The committee, there
fore, recommended that the court make
an order directing the removal c? Ar
nold from the place of his imprison
ment to some hospital for the insane.
Iu locating the prioner's relatives
the report states that his father is a
patient in the hospital for the insane
at this place. It recommended, how
ever, that the prisoner Jje not sent to
the Danville hospital for the reason
that if he should escape from an in
stitution so near his home his former
acquaintances might be in danger. An
additional reason was given in the
fact that Dr. Meredith, of the com
mission, superintendent of the hospit
al for the Insane at Danville, might
be considered by Arnold as a persecut
or.
Judge Evans accordingly made an
order committing Arnold to the hos
pital for the insane at Norristown.
Sheriff George Maiers will proceed to
Philadelphia the present week and re
nmre the prisoner.

UNI PRIMARY
LAI NOW IN FORCE
The uniform primary law is now iu
jperatiou iu every election district in
lie Stato. Under this now system of
naking nominations, county voters of (
ill parties will vote direct and on the
same day for tiieir choice of candid
ates.
With uniform primaries in force,
the time honored county and city con
vention is a thing of the past. Slate
making by political bosses becomes ex
ceedingly difficult if not impossible.
The law was framed with the object
in view of affording the people the
means for determining for themselves
who shall be their candidates. The
holding of such primaries to choose
candidates to be voted for at the Feb
ruary election will mark the first pra
ctical test of the new law in the St» f e
at large. ,
DATES FOR ELECTIONS.
The uniform primary law was one of
the several election reform measures
passed at the special session of the leg
islature. It provides that there Khali
be two primary elections held each
year. For the coming February elec
tion the primary shall be held ou the
fourth Saturday preceding election
day, which will be January 2ft. For
November elections tlio primary shall
be held on the first Saturday in June,
except when a president is to be elect
ed. when the primary shall be held on
the second Saturday in April. That
for February elections is termed the
winter primary, and for the Novem
ber elections, the spring primary.
Heretofore, the several parties have
held their primaries on separate days.
Under the new law one primary will
be held for all parties between the
hours of 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock p. in.
The primary will be hold at the reg
ular election polling place in each dis
trict, and will be conducted by the
regular election officers.
In the first place any number of per
sons may be voted for at the primary
for an office to be filled at the next suc
ceeding election. The law provides
that there shall be an official ballot for
the primary. This will be alike in
size and color for all parties. All offi
cials ballots will be printed on white
paper. Each party will, however,have
its own ballot. At the top of each bal
lot there will be found a printed line
designating which party it is for, and
full explanation as to how to proper
ly mark the same.
If a candidate for mayor, for in
stance, desired his name printed on
the Republican primary ballot, this
will be done upon the filing of a peti
tion with the county commissioners
signed by fifty Republicans. If a Demo
crat wishes his name printed on the
Democratic primary ballot as a can
didate for mayor he may have this
Tlone by having filed a petition signed
by fifty Democrats Likewise a mem
ber of any other regularly constituted
party.
For candidates tor councils who
wish their names printed <m the prim
ary ballot, petition- need be signed by
but ten members of the party designa
ted. •
MUST FILE NAMES EARLY.
These petitions mu-t be filed with
the county commissioners at least
three weeks prior to the primary, ot
in this instance, not later than Jan
uary o. At least once each week dur
ing these three weeks tiie county com
missioners must adverti-e in two
newspapers within the county the
names of all offices for which nomina
tions are to be made. At the expira
tion of the time fixed bv law for re
ceiving petitions the county commis
sioners are required to take these in
hand and proceed to the preparation
of the ballot for each party. After
these are prepared they must be kept
on file and open to public inspection
iu the commissiouers'ottice for at least
one week proceeding the primary.
When the voter goes to the primary
on January 26 he must ask for the bal
lot of his party. Unless his right to
participate is challenged he will be
handed a ballot, where he will find
printed the names of all candidates ar
ranged in alphabetical order under the
respective offices

Trainmen Upset House Car.
What would ,6*lll to be oue of the
most awkward accidents possible iu
railroading took placß at South Dan
ville, Monday evening. All empty
house car togi'iher with several load
ed coal cars sti od on the siding. It be
came necessary to run these further
ahead and ton 'complish the task the
usual plan wis adopted of moving
them by mean- of a stout pole or piece
of timber insei ted between a locomo
tive on the m;iin track and the cars on
the siding. Ordinarily the cars are
pushed ahead in this way without any
difficulty. Mouday, the conditions
were somewhat unusual and an unex
pected mishap occurred The pole was
inserted the locomotive and
the empty hou-e c.ir, which in turn
was expected to shove the three loaded
cars ahead of it. To propel the heavy
load the engiur moved forward with a
rush, but unfortunately the loaded
coal cars were too heavy; the empty
luuse car could not move them and
uuable to resist the force exerted by
the engine it 1 ell over on its side.
ThN indeed w;is a bad state of af
fairs. Nothing short of the steam
crane would suffice to put the car
right side up and place it on the track.
The wrecking outfit was accordingly
sent for and it arrived at South Dan
ville during 'he evening. The lifting
of the car ha< l: upou the track was the
work of 0111 % •. few minutes.

And now our citizens are called up

that during the past season he did
quite a business iu baskets supplying
Bloomsburg aud Catawissa people who
had come down to our market, aud x
attracted by the choice and abundant
supply of produce wished to carry
a heavy purchase along home. All this
is flattering enough from a certain
standpoint but is not so pleasant to
contemplate when we reflect that of
many commodities,notably butter aud
eggs, we have n6t enough to supply
our own population and the price is

is no probability of the scarce com
modities becoming more abundaut or
