$3,500 FOR YOUTH
WHO LOST LEO
One of the most important cases
hereabouts in recent years, one that
lias established a precedentwhich will
no doubt be taken advantage of by
others under similar conditions, was
settled at Sunbury Saturday when the
Philadelphia & Reading Railway
company paid John Bickert, Jr., a
youth residing in Shamokin, $3500 for
the loss of his leg, which resulted from
an accident on an unguarded railroad
crossing in that town little over a
year ago.
The boy's father brought an action
in the Northumberland county courts,
asking #IO,OOO for the injury of his
child. The law firm of Kearney &
Raker, were engaged by the prosecut
or aud to their efforts was due the
payiug of the large amount of dam
ages.
At the time of the accident young
Bickert was crossing the Reading's
tracks at Clay street. An engine run
him down aud one of his legs was so
badly crushed that it was necessary to
take the limb off at the hip joint. The
Clay street crossing has neither gates
nor watchman aud Is a vertiable death
trap.
Though the corporation's lawyers
prepared the case with care and
though many surveys of the locality
were made it was apparent that the
company could uot hope to win in the
courts in the face of the damaging
evidence and at Sunbury on Saturday i
a consultation of counsel resulted in a
compromise being effected, the boy re
ceiving the suui named for boing ren
dered a cripple lor life.
The outcome of this case was await
ed by the public with considerable in
terest and their is general rejoicing
over the result. Great credit is due
the prosecuting attorneys for their
efforts in having justice done the un
fortunate youth.
This case has proven one thing. The
railroad companies can be held liable
for accidents where culpable neglig
ence'raakes them possible aud in the
future suits for damages will be in
stituted with a felling of greater cer
tainty of the outcome by those unfor
tunate enough to be maimed on the
tracks.
Lincoln Literary Society.
The first meeting of the Lincoln
Literary Society for the term 1907-08
was held Friday afternoon, Oct. 11,
under Prof. Dieffeubaeher, the new
critic.
The opening number a piauo duott
by Misses Sidlei aud Evans, was fol
lowed by a recitation "We Are
Seven", which was effectively given
by Miss Wetzell. After a declamation
"The Dedication of the Gettysburg
Cemetery" by Mr Gearhart.the ques
tion, —"Resolved: That a seperate
labor party would be for the best in
tersts of the laboring classes," was
discussed, affirmatively by Mr. Still
and Miss Pangli, aud, negatively, by
Mr. Price aud Miss Johnson The
Judges—Mr. Books, Mr Hancock aud
Mr. Wolvertou—gave their decision in
favor of the affirmative.
The next number, a piauo solo,
"Robin of the Woodland," was rend
ered by Miss Hughes in a maimer
clearly showing her ability. After
Mr. Cleaver's forceful declamation,
"The Unknown Rider," Miss Reif
snyder's recitation " A Sabbath Scene"
closed the program.
This meeting on the whole showed
a lack of preperatiou aud of iuterest,
but tliis was probably due to its being
the first meeting of the term. *»*

OCTOBER SUNBEAMS
Referring to bygone days when Read
ing was a walking town, the home of
the " foosgaugers," the Reading
Herald says: "Now is the time for
outdoor life. Not whizzing in an auto
so fast that you know not whence you
come or whither you go; not cooped
up in a trolley car wondering when
the mischief yon are ever going to
get there ; not in a close windowed
cab; not in a grimy and besooted rail
way train, but upon the ;feet that na
ture equipped you with. Get out,
then, and walk. Rise up, then, and
amble. Take a promenade this very
afternoon. Aud gather ye October's
sunbeams while ye may."
COURT HELD
ON SATURDAY
A session of oourt was held on Sat
urday morning with his Honor O. O.
Evans, president judge and Associates
Blee aud Welliver on the bench.
Among the|routine work the most
important part of the proceedings was
the appointmentjof a commission to
examine into'the mental condition of
William Guilford, "Wild Bill," who
was found guilty;two weeks previous
ly of making threats against Dr. H.
B. Meredith,superintendentof the hos
pital for the insaue, and was sentenc
ed to give a bond to keep the peace to
ward all persons more especially Dr.
Meredith.
Guilford was uuable to comply with
the sentence and in default of bond
has been detained in jail.
As a preliminary step to get Guil
ford back into the hospital, where ac
cording to the testimony adduced at
the hearing held two weeks previous
ly he properly belongs, a petition was
presented to court Saturday signed by
the jail physician, setting forth that
tiie physician believes William Guil
ford, the prisoner, is insane and should
be removed to the hospital for treat
ment.
Accordingly the court appointed Dr.
P. O. Nowbaker, Hon. H. M. Hinck
ley, attorney, and Frank O. Derr,lay
man, to inquire concerning the mental
condition of the above named William
Guilford, also as to his place of resi
dence and next of kin and to report to
the court. The time set by ttie court
for making such inquiry is Saturday,
October 20, at 10 o'clock a. m., at the
county jail, ten days' notice of hear
ing to be given the county commis
sioners of Montour county, also next
of kin of William Guilford ; the coun
ty commissioners of Clinton county
aud also to the overseors of the poor
of Lock Haven, fa
James Freeze was appointed guard
ian of Charles F. Freeze, Arthur
Freeze and Maragret Freeze, minor
children of Margaret Freeze,deceased.
G. D. Vognetz was appointed guard
ian of Estella F. Vognetz, a minor
child,and directed to give bond in the
sum of two hundred dollars with
surety to be approved by the court.
In re the estate of Margaret Freeze,
deceased, on petition of guardian, the
court authorized and ordered the sale
of a town lot to F. Q. Hartman for
1300.00, in which town lot Charles
Freeze, Arthur Freeze and Margaret
Freeze, minor children of Margaret
Freeze, deceased, hold an undivided
half interest. The sum to be paid was
said to be nearly twice the amount
paid for the lot two years ago.
The Harvests.
With tlio highwaymen recently cap
tured near Pojarevats (Servia), after
four hours, hard fighting, was a girl
of 17, who iiad followed her outlawed
lover and shared his adventures.
The Himalaya peak of Trisul, the
summit of which is 23,406 feet above
sea level, has been ascended by Dr.
Longstaff. The oold on top was quite
arctic.
The final summing up of the crops
still remains,but the preliminary esti
mates can so nearly gauge what the
finals will be, that although the har
vests will be a good deal more than
enough to supply the United States,
still the shortage abroad will cause
such an export demand that food pro
ducts promise to make the cost of liv
ing in America higher than a year
ago, and which was and is a cause of
complaint.
The department of Agriculture in
its crop report last week indicated a
general lowering of such crops as are
still in a growing condition.
From the acreage and condition the
statistician of the New York Produce
Exchange estimates a yield of 2,491,-
715,000 bushels of corn which com
pares with 2,927,416,091 a year ago.
Though this crop is materially below
the bumper yield of last year, it. re
mains well ahead of previous years,
excepting 1905, when the crop was
2,707,993,540, and 1902, when it was
2,523,648,312 bushels.
Of the other principal cereal crops,
Spring wheat is estimated at 216,067,-
000 bushels, approximately 26,000,000
bushels below the yield of 1906. Its
average yield of 13.1 bushels per acre
is slightly below the ten-year average.
Together with Winter wheat, the to
tal crop of wheat is put at 625,567,000
bushels This yield has been exceeded
iu six out of the preceding ten years.
Oats, with a yield of 23.9 bushels per
acre, compares with 28.3 bushels per
acre last year, though 1906 is the only
season iu which the actual crop was
bigger than the promise of tlio pres
ent season.
The deficiency of all the cereal crops
take Din the aggregate is unusually
large, even greater than the shortage
I>rom isod by the early reports of the
unfavorable Spring. The loss, taking
com, wheat, oats, rye, and barley, iB
nearly I*3 per cent, of last year's ag
gregate of these crops. The total of
the five cereals is estimated this year
at 4,045,846,000 bushels, against 4,839,
872,'.)00 in 1906, 4,519,326,389 in 1905,
and 4,081,466,476 in 1904
The farmer, although his crops may
be less, will receive more money for
this year's yield than that of last sea
son, and with his accumulated wealth
tne farmer will be more lavish in his
expenditures and investments and add
to the business and prosperity of the
country.

ESCAPED PATIENT
CREATES ALARM
A patient who escaped from the hos
pital for the insane was apprehended in
this city Thursday night after he had
been at large over twenty-fonr hours.
Incidental to the man's apprehension
were several episodes serio-comic in
their nature,among them being a foot
race betwoen the patient and Night
Watchman Young
It was approaching the hour of mid
night when Officer Vons was called to
the vioinity of the Thomas Beaver
free library by residents living near,
who informed him that they had been
much disturbed during the evening by
a strange individual, who seemed to
haunt Ferry street between Mahoniag
and Market streets. The man was seon
half a dozen timeß on the same spot
and he had an uncanny habit of peer
ing into the peoples houses as he
passed by.
When Officer Voris arrived at the
library the mysterious man had pass
ed on. Just at this point ail urgent
call took the policeman to another
part of town. Before leaving, how
ever, he turned the case over to Night
Watchman Young,who, joined by an
other citizen that had seen the night
prowler,started in pursuit of the man.
Near the Germauia brewery they
saw the man, but the man saw them
first and he started in the direction of
the river as fast as his legs could car
ry him. The night watchman and
companion, convinced by this time
that there was something shady about
the man, redoubled their efforts to
capture him and literally made the
gravel fly as they dashed through the
streets and across lots in quick pur
usit.
They were finally rewarded by catch
ing the man, who was placed in the
lockup. The man was plainly,although
cleanly and comfortably clothed even
to necktie aud collar. His costume,
along with his unaccountable conduct
suggested that he might be a patient
that had esoaped from the hospital for
the insane.
By the time he was landed in the
lock-up Officer Voris had returned and
he decided to make an examination of
his clothing, knowing that if he were
a patient his name would be found
printed on the inside of his vest as
well as on the inside of his shoe. Un
buttoning the man's vest the oflicer
read in plain letters: "T. Sohapiro."
"When did you leave the hospital?"
the policeman bluntly asked :
"Last night," was the answer.
In reply to a question the man said
he had been at the hospital three
years. He then proceeded in a rambl
ing, though pathetic way, to tell how
a man named Fisher and "another
fellow" of Slmmokin had one day ask
ed him to take a ride. They visited
the hospital here, he said, and the
men wouldn't take him along home.
Since then he had been at the institu
tion and he was very anxious to get
away. The present was the first oppor
tunity he had found iu three years
to oseape and he wanted togo home.
The officer called up the hospital,
which sent a couple of attendants
down town for the patient.

DISTRICT'S FINE
RECORD MARRED
Danville's fair record as to truancy
maintained during the first month of
sohool was uiarred Friday by a case
of trnanoy iu which the offender was
a girl. As t.lie sequel shows an unfor
tunate feature of this bud affair was
that the girl's father was mulcted in
tine and costs by reason of her tru
ancy. Worse still, it was learnod that
there are other oases of the same kind
pending and that from now on the
truant oftioer will work overtime un
til he gets all the pupils back into
sohool.
A well-known resident of the third
ward was brought before Justice of
the Peace Dalton Friday evening by
Officer Voris to answer to the charge
of neglecting to send his daughter,ag
ed between eight and sixteen years, to
school the required per centum of the
time. The information set forth that
the defendant had been notified as re
quired o? his daughter's failure to at
tend school and that the provisions of
the act of assembly enforcing attend
ance had been set forth before him.
The defondaut pleaded guilty, but
declared that the child iiad been sent
to school. The fine of two dollars,
which goes to the school district,along
with the costs in the case, three dol
lars, was imposed ou the parent.
The trnant officer stated Friday night
tliac there are a number of cases where
the pupils are not attending school the
required per centum of time. Unless
these pnpils get back into school im
mediately, under the law he says as
the representative of the school board
he will bo obliged to proceed against
the parent.
Last year it was customary to remit
the fine and oblige the parents to pay
the costs only. The clemency exrcised
seemed to have no beneficial effect and
this year the edict lias gono forth that
in no instance will flues be remitted
but following last night's precedent
the full penalty will be imposed

WILL FIGHT FOR
STREET EXTENSION
Extensive improvements are being
made on Upper Mulberry street, whioh
are very much appreciated by the pub
lic, as that thoroughfare was notor
ious in past seasons as oue of the
worßt in the borough. To make the
matter worse council found it con
venient to authoiize the dumping of a
large quantity of iron stone at the
southern end of the street, whioh was
obtained on North Mill street and
which was to be used later in repair
ing Upper Mulberry street. The stones
have proven very much iu the way of
delivery wagonß and others and have
caused some complaint.
The surface of Upper Mulberry
street north of Spruoe street taking in
the greater part of a square is being
cut down nearly a foot. The ground
thus obtained is carted to the new
park, where it is used to assist in fill
ing up the low places. Where the
street is being cut down a new road
bed will be constructed,using the iron
Htone that was dumped on the lower
end of the street. Iu a short time,
therefore, Upper Mulberry street will
be in a first class condition.
It is pretty evident that those in
terested in the movement to secure
the opening of Upiier Mulberry street
through to Bloom street do not intend
to give up the fight, notwithstanding
that the proposition was tiatly turned
down by council at its last meeting.
Undoubtedly an opportunity is now
presented to add to the importance of
the street and the value of abutting
property that was not possible so long
as the cemetery occupied the site.
As if emphasizing its opposition to
any thoroughfares in the park council
practically decided to vacate the alley
lying between the Petriken cemetery
and the new park and as a preliminary
step in that direction today the con
crete pavement being consmcted in con
nection with the park will be extend
ed so as to shut off travel from the
alley.

COXEY TO WAGE
NEWJAMPAIGN
In Danville, liia birthplace, the do
ings of General Jaoob S, Coxoy are al
ways interesting. His latest move
ments are taking plaoe in Philadelphia.
Friday morning's Inquirer contain
ed the following:
General James S. Ooxey, of Ooxey's
Army fame groomed like a millionaire
and feeling like one, ux he stated, ar
rived in this city yesterday morning
and, for the first time, made public
the details of his futnru plans for the
education of the people.
Incidentally the Mount Vernon,
Ohio, leader said,"tush! tush!" when
questioned about the march on Wash
ington and Congress of Ooxey's army
in 1894. He deolared that in his oom
ing campaign he would depend on no
assistants, but would wage and win
the light single-handed.
Soon after his arrival he strode into
the Bellevue Stratford and registered,
stating that he did not wish a room,
but wanted people to know that he
was in the city. His appearance oreat
ed some excitement.
PLANS BIG CIRCUS TENT.
He announced to reporters: "I am
going to have a big cirous tent which
will seat from ten to fifteen thousand
persons, and with it I will tour the
country, eduoating the people on the
great questions before the public eye."
"Will you enlist or recruit a second
Ooxey's army to accompany you?" one
of the reporters questioned.
"Tush! tush!" responded the Gen
eral "There will be no army in this
campaign I will do all the ordering
and will carry out the orders. In oth
er words, I will conduct this fight
single-handed.
"My contention this time will be
that the people should own all the
public utilities. This country knows
enough about producing but does not
know how to distribute. You all know
that this country is the greatest place
on earth. Well, witli the people in
control of the public utilities it will
be twice as good. I will urge and de
mand a government bond issue. All
money then will be handed' out down
at Washington and cities and towns
will not have to pay big interest on
loans. The interest ordinarily paid, I
declare, with my plan in vogue, will
go toward wiping out the principal of
the loan."
TO DISCLOSE PLAN LATEK.
General Coxey would not outline
the plan, saying that he would dis
closo it for the first time when the
lecture tour was begun.
"I can illustrate my plan by a loun
right in your city," the General con
tinued. "I understand that a loan of
$5,000,000 is needed for school or Board
of Education purposes. With my plan
in use the Mayor or Councils could
apply to tiie government for a loan
and secure it, paying 1 per cent, in
terest for the printing of the bonds
and notes entitled. Then
the city could levy a tax to pay the
interest, which would bo devoted for
payment of the principal.
"I propose to set out with my tent
in the early spring. At that time, I
am reasonably sure, every level-mind
ed man will see the need of public
ownership of the utilities—the rail
road, railway,telephone and telegraph
lines. I think that it will succeed. I
am doing it merely to educate the peo
ple and not for any personal reasons. "
Thomas A. Edison, the 'great Ameri
can inventor says: "Fully eighty per
cent, of the illness of mankind comes
from eating improper food or too
much food: people are inclined to
over-indnlgH themselves " This is
where indigestion tiuds its beginning
in nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no more
and when vou overload it, or when
you eat the wrong kind of food, the
digestive organs jauuot possibly do
the work demanded of tlieni Ir is at
such times that tne stomach needs
help; it demands help, and warns you
by headaches, belching, sour stomach,
nausea and indigestion. You should
attend to this at once by taking some

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Snhealth; Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Patns, aches andrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits

NARROWLY ESCAPES
HUNTER'S BULLET
Harvey Lamberson, who resides
along the old canal about two miles
bolow town, called at the office of
Justice of the Peace Oglesby Saturday
morning to see if something could not
be done to stop reckless shooting in
the viciuity of his home.
At all seasons of the year he says
there is more or less reckless shooting
down the river and many close calls
are on record. When the hunting sea
son is not on. then the would-be
marksmen, who go down there to
practice with their guns, have to be
reckoned with. The danger, he says,
was never more marked than since the
present hunting season opened.
The other day Mr Lambersou's
mother-in-law, who resides with him
came within an ace of being struck by
a bullet from a hunter's rifle. It is no
unusual experience for a person driv
ing along the road to hear a bullet
whiz by his ear. Mr. Lamberson de
clared that he has seen persons stand
in the public highway and to test their
; marksmanship blaze away at objects
without any apparent regard as to
whether or not the coast was clear.
Perhaps some of this recKless shoot-
J ing is done thoughtlessly by persons
j who lose sight of the danger to which
j parsons living or passing near the
! spot are exposed. For such individu
als, if at all humane, the single pro
test herein voiced should prove suffici
ent.
Iu most cases consumption results
! from a neglected or improperly treat
ed cold. Foley's Honey and Tar cures
I the most obstinate coughs and pre
vents serious results. It costs you no
