DANVILLE, PA., THURHDAY. DKCKMRKR 2f>, IW>7 COniNMTI Ml OH. Dill Dr. Cameron Shultz, secretary of the local board of health, lias receiv ed a stirrlug communication from State Health Commissioner Dr Caninel G. Dixon, relating to the outbreak of typhoid fever iu this city, which will nt) doubt have the effect of arousing the people to a true sense of their dan ger, causing them to institute pro per investigation to determine wheth er the uuhealthful conditions are due to neglect aud to adopt measures that will compel the observance of all the precautions known to science. In the several articles relating to the subject this piper has only reflected the views of the physicians. In tone these articles, it will be recalled,were various. If one physician was pes simistic in his views another tried to minimize the outbreak and both seem ed oonscientious iu the matter. Pre vious to the present the local regis trar's report showed no more than eighteen cases on the list. Meanwhile the impression got abroad that there was a larger number of ty phoid fever cases. The evidence came to the people in a way that seemed to carry conviction with it. They became distrustful and alarmed and in order that a remedy might be applied before the state of affairs had lasted too long some one wrote to Dr. Dixon, asking that he look into the matter. Dr. Dix on, however, had already the subject under consideration. Several weeks ago, it will be recall ed, the State health commissioner wrote to the local board of health and wanted to know what it was doing to trace the disease to a source. Mean while, the number of cases seemed to increase. During the last ten days, especially,new cases have been report ed daily. Two deaths from the disease have occurred aud in several cases the 1 patients are now lying very low. It was learned from the local regis trar, Saturday, that during November and 111 December thus far there have been forty cases reported. A leading physician Sunday stated that he had three new cases, which would have to be reported Monday. How many cases may be reported by other physicians is problematical. Dr. Dixon is uuder the impressiou that there are nearer sev enty-five cases of typhoid fever than forty in Danville aud he seems to be pretty well informed ou the status of the outbreak. It was at first stated that there is a prevalence of intermittent and malari- \ al fever in Danville as well as of ty- ! phoid fever It now appears,however, that at least in some of the cases it is only a difference ojopinion among the doctors. The cases are not all well de- ; fined ones aud what one physician . diagnoses as malarial fever another would call typhoid. The fact remains, j however, that typhoid fever is pre- 1 valent and tho lay mind derives little consolation 1 from the fact that in a few cases of fever some of the character istic symptoms aro lacking. It is evid ently a time for some sane action, which can not be too prompt. Dr. Dixon in his communication to the secretary urges the board of health to proceed at once with a searching investigation to determine whether or not any of the doctors fail to report the full number of cases of typhoid fever uuder their treatment; if any are found guilty of such negligence the board of health is instructed to pro- ; ceed at once to prosecute them. Dr. Dixon advises that the milk as | well as the water used for drinking and culinary purposes be boiled. He also advises against the eating of un- j cooked vegetables or food stuffs of any sort, as all such are a possible source of infection. He strongly recommends that in all cases the use of milk bottles aud con tainers used by milk dealers beforbid | den. It is positively forbidden that • these bottles be used in houses where typhoid fever exists. The State health commissioner also directs that all houses wherein ty phoid fever exists be placarded. WOIiK ON BRIDGES MOVES SLOWLY The bridge over Beaver ruu at Rob bins' farm in Liberty township is now ! completed and is open for traffic. 1 The county commissioners are ready ! to begin work on the bridge over the j same stream at Mrs. Henry's farm,the ' stonework of which was completed ! some mouths ago. I The work on the several bridges of the county has piogressed much more slowly than was anticipated by the county commissioners. It is likely, however, that all be completed before next spring. Underwent Operation. Mrs. Josephine Kimerer has return ed from Philadelphia where she has been for a month recovering from an operation for appendicitis. The opera tion was successful and Mis. Kimerer is in excellent health. UMBRELLA STANDS FOB ISCW In view of the prevalence of sickness about town school board Monday night devoted oonsii erahle time to the dis cussion of sanatory measures to be ad opted in relation to the schools. Mr. Burns raised the question wheth er it might not be advisable to have the school buildings cleaned during the holiday vacation. If a thorough scrubbing would be too expensive he thought the "wiping up" of the floors anil a washing off of the woodwork might do as a compromise: anything, he said, to obviate the clouds of dust that envelop the rooms when ever sweeping is being done. In his opinion the dust in itself is a source of great danger and cleaner floors, he thought, would result in less dust. Dr. Barber expressed similar views on the subject and he took the view that an unnecessary amouut of dust was raised by the janitors He thought a preparation might be procured that would keep down the dust when the school rooms are being swept. On motion of Mr. Sechler it was ordered that the secretary look into the matter ascertaining the cost and the practical value of such prepara- j tions.several of which are advertised. On motion of Dr. Barber it was ord ered that the cellar of the first ward school building be given a general cleaning out, article not essen tial to heating the building to be re- \ moved. Mr. Fischer called attention to the necessity of having tho woodwork of the cellar of the first ward school building painted during the coming Christmas vacation. On motion of Mr. Sechler it was j ordered that the building and repair committee be instructed to have the ' painting done during vacation as rec ommended by Mr. Fischer. An umbrella stand, something speci al in design, to meet the demands of the school room, was adopted by the school board Monday night. A model de vised by Mr. Burns of the second ward was produced before the board Monday night. Tho stand is nearly six feet iu length, the base being in the form of a /.inclined trough. The members approved of the pat tern aud on motion of Mr. Fischer it was ordered that bids be invited for 23 umbrella stands, five feet, three inches, in length, aud one eight feet iu leugtli, each lined with galvanized iron. The following members were pres- , eut at the meeting: Pursel, Orth, j Swarts. Burns, Redding, Barber, Fish, ] Fischer, Sechler, Foulk, Heiss, Cole. | The following bills were approved ! for payment: Wm. Quigg $ 26.50 George Sechler 1.00 !

The pleasaut little sunbath, however, caused his snake ship his life, for while he was enjoy ing his siesta George Mock of town came along. Snakes aro a novelty about Christ- j mas time aud George for a time was inclined to doabt his senses. Perceiv ing the venomous nature of the reptile j he coucluded to keep a safe distance. Calliug to Harvey Lamberson, who lives a short distance below,the latter, with his famous dog, which has a rec- , ord for killing snakes,joined Mock on the ridge aud led the attack ou the copperhead. The little dog, however, did the work and there w 11 be one copperhead less to infest that locality next summer. The snake was over two feet in length. FLOOR SINKS WITH BIG CROWD Monday it was learned that a ter rible catastrophe had been averted at Exchange, this county, by the nar rowest kind of a margin on Sunday evening, when the floor of the Epis copal church of that place sank six inches under the strain of a big crowd that had gathered to hear the rendi tion of a Christmas service. It was not until Monday morning that the defective floor was discovered and it was then sagging six inches in the middle. One of the largest crowds that ever gathered for a like ocoasion was present Sunday evei.ing, even all | the standing room being taken. The service passed off most auspioiously and none of the spectators had the slightest suspioiou of the awful dan ger they were facing. The church was heated by two stoves and had the floor collapsed fire would no doubt have been added to the other horrors. OHM FOILS ,i ON IMS yesterday—Christmas', 1907- was the birthday of a very venerable woman of Danville, Mrs. Mary A. Miller,who resides with her son, William Miller, Cherry street. Mrs. Miller was born in the year 1HIi« and is accordingly H* years of age. The venerable woman although only twelve years short of the century mark is in the full possession of her facnl ties. Her eyesight is somewhat be diiumed, but her mind is clear, her memory especially, being a marvel. Like all aged people, Mrs. Miller loves to dwell on the past and she talks most entertainingly of her early life. She was born iu New York State, but has lived in Danville for seventy years. When a girl she came down the north branch on a raft, settling with others of the family in Salem township, Luzerne county. She lived for awhile in Shickshinny and Ber wick. At the latter place she was mar ried and when 18 years of age remov ed to Danville. Mrs. Miller has been married twice, the children of the first marriage be ing Richard W.,Galvin L.and Hiram Eggert, Elmira (Mrs. Whittenbaugh) of Williamsport, and Virginia, (Mrs. Joseph Mottern) of Meclianicsville. Hiram Eggert lives at Portland, Me. Mrs. Miller's second husband was Thomas Miller, who died many years | ago. The children of this marriage are Thomas, William and Charles Mill j er, all well-known residents of this city. Today should be a "Merry Christ mas" at the home of Mrs. Miller. 1 That a birthday anniversary and the great church festival should fall ou ; the same date is iu itself a pleasing ' coincidence, but when the birthday marks the 88th milestone of life's journey the tenderest of emotions are aroused and the occasion assumes an added significance. . BREAKING GROUND FOR FOUNDATION Ground was broken at the light plant Monday for the new engiue aud dy namo. The proposition in the present case is a much more serious one than is usually implied when ground is' broken for a foundation, as before a beginning conld be made it was neces sary to cut through nearly a foot of ! solid concrete that formed the floor of I that portion of the water works. | The foundation, which will have to j be sunk some twenty-five feet,presents ! a difficult problem throughout and it* : self may prove a pretty heavy item of ; cost. The force of men employed Mon ' day barely succeeded iu removing the | concrete, which had to be chipped out ! with sledge and drill. Next will fol low the work of excavating As the | earth is removed the stoutest kind of cribbing will have to be installed in i order to resist the heavy jar caused by operating the high speed engine and dynamo, which stand distant a mat ter of only ten feet. The excavation will have to be sunk i down as far as the bottom of the sub cellar under the pit of the water plant, where the pumps are installed, the depth below the floor of the light plant where the new engine aud dy namo are to be installed being, at ! least, twenty-five feet. No less than i 200 cubic feet of earth will have to be j removed. The work on tho foundation is it: ! charge of Superintendent of Construc j tion P. J. Keefer mid will not be finished iu much less than two weeks' I time. PROMINENT WOMAN'S DEMISE Mrs. Margaret A. Bird, East Mark let street, departed this life very un l expectedly Monday morning. Mrs. Bird waß in her usual health j up to Friday night, when she was I seized with an attack of acute indiges j tion. She was very ill for awhile but j seemingly improved. During Satur -1 day and Sunday she was considerably indisposed, although her full recovery was confidently expected by the fami ' ly. Her death, therefore, which oc curred at 8:30 o'clock Monday inorn t ing, was wholly unexpected and came as a great shuck. I The deceased was the widow of i Charles A. Bird, who departed this life six years ago. She was seventy two years of age and is survived by two sous, Wellington H. Bird,of Phil adelphia, and John O. Bird, of Pitts burg, three daughters,the Misses Alice aud Janet Bird,and Emma (Mrs. John R. .Teiobs) of Dauville; also by one brothft*, Jacob Martz, of Washington ville, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Frazier of Washingtonville, aud Mrs. Jacob St. Clair, of West Point, Neb. The deceased was a native and a life-long resident of Montour 1 She was a woman widely known and most highly esteemed. AS CONSTRUED 01 DO. DM The school authorities this year find themselves confronted with the same difficulty in getting the people to ful ly understand the provisions of the school law relating to diphtheria ami other contagious diseases that has em barrassed them year after year in the past. The point ill which the law is most- ! ly misunderstood is involved in a ease which has occcuried in town during the presont week and which has caus ed some unpleasantness between a patron and the school authorities In many cases it appears that when dipli tlieria breaks out in the family the children that are not ill are hustled off to another house—say,the residence of grandparents or of other relatives, the impression being that living, as they then do. apart from the infected household they will be permitted to attend school. The patrou is probably aware of the provision of the school law, which re quires the authorities to exclude a child exposed to diphtheria or other coutagious disease from school for thirty days after recovery of the per son last afflicted in the household. Tho law specifically states that, no child belonging to or residing with the family of any person or residing in the same house in which any per- ! son may be located who is suffering from diphtheria, scarlet fever, diph theretio croup, membraneous croup, ' &c., shall be permitted to attend any public, private, parochial, Sunday or 1 other school and all school principals, Sunday school superintendents or oth er persons in charge of such schools I are required to exclude any and all such children from said schools, sncli ! exclusion to continue for a period of i thirty days following the discharge by recovory or death of the person last i afflicted in said house or family and the thorough disinfection of the pre mises. While the above section of the law seems explicit enough it does seem to leave some misunderstanding in the minds of a few people relative to the case that the school authorities are at present dealing with—in other words, whether a child removed from the par ental home on the outbreak of com- j municable disease and kept aloof from the infected household may not be permitted to attend school. That no mistake might be made in Interpreting the law in this relation last year the question _ involved was submitted to State Health Commis sioner Dr. Dixon, who in reply settled the disputed point for all time. Dr. Dixon made it clear to the local school board that a child exposed to contagion by living in a family in which a case of diphtheria or other disease develops, even though removed to another household free from infec tion, under the law cannot be permit ted to attend school until at the ex piration of thirty days after tho child has been removed. At tho request of the school hoard, in order that the public may be in formed, this papei has taken up the matter explaining the construction that Dr. Dixon puts upon the school i law iu relation to the disputed point. BIG ROLLER MILL BURNED The valuable roller mill at Ciiil lisquaque, along the Pennsylvania tracks between Milton aud Northum berland, was destroyed by fire Tues- I day. The mill was the property of Ben jamin Frey and Sons and is a total loss. The loss is estimated at SIO,OOO on which there was an insurance amouuting to $6,000. The fire was discovered about 12:30, while the workmen were at dinner and the mill was deserted. The flames were seen by the Frey family as they j sat at the dinner table. The fire had < then gained such headway that all ef forts to save the structure were futile. ! George H. Ludbasl Jger, of Lower Nazareth township, Northampton conn ty, while walking to his home on the trolley track early Sunday morning, I was run down and cut in two by one of the Lehigh Traction company's big cars, only a few yards from his resi- 1 dence. Positive orders issued on Saturday j evening by many coal companies in j the Schuylkill reigon, that tho mines ! should work all this week, except on Christinas day, have been met with | positive declarations that the men ; would not work Wednesday or Thurs- j day.

RED CROSS STAHPS IN DANVILLE During the last couple of days Bed Cross stamps have made their appear ance* in Danville and have been used along with postage stamps,on packages sent through the mails. They were procured from the "North American" ottice in Philadelphia by Will G. Brown, toho so for as known is the only person in Dauville who possessed any of these stamps. Mr. Brown as a yuletide greeting presented the stamps to his friends about town and thus they became pretty well circulated.
