Railroad company to his decree made November 9, 1907, dissolving the pre liminary injunction and permitting the Danville aud Bloomsburg Street Railway compauy to cross the D. L & W. tracks at grade. At the same sesisou a return for supersedeas was presented by Hon. H. M. Hinckley, attorney for the D. L & W. Railroad company. Judge Evans made au order directing that the appeal in the above case act as a supersedeas. This pre cludes all possibility of operating the street railway over the D.

L. & W. Railway company at the same grade thereof, subject, however, to the pay ment of such damages as the plaintiff company may sustain arising from the negligeuce of the defendant street railway company in the construction aud operation of such crossing when the same may be properly ascertained. 3 "That the preliminary injunction heretofore granted be dissolved. Reviewing the 4th, sth, 6th and 7th sections, which relate to terms, the return sets forth, in addition : "That on the 11th day of January, 1908, your honorable couit dismissed the exceptions filed by the plaintiff to the above finding and decree and dir ected that the decree entered ui si, should be made the permanent decree in the ease. "That, the plaintiffs have appealed from the said decree of your honor able court to the supreme court of the State aud have filed iu the office of the prothouotary a boud in the sum of SIO,OOO conditioned as required by law; that they have also filed iu the prothonotary's office a specification of the errors which they claim have been committed by your honorable court and upon which they intend to rely 011 the appeal to the supreme court. "Your petitioners pray the court to direct that the said appeal shall act as a supersedeas and that all further acts ou the part of the defendant in the establishment aud use of the said gi iV crossing be staid pending said apj^al. The court made the following order : January 11, 1908, the above petition presented and after due consideration the prayer ia granted audit is direct ed that the appeal in the above case act as a supersedeas aud that all furth er acts ia relation to the establish ment and use of said grade crossing be staid pending said nppeal. By the Court, CHARLES C. EVANS, P. J. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, cannot reach the diseased portioir of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling sound of imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restor ed to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; niuo oases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that caunot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure Send for circulars,free.

Nearly all the household goods were saved. The bouse burnod was next to the last house on the west side of Third street and occupied the highest point of Welsh hill. It was a two-story frame dwelling and contained five rooms. The occupants consisted of William Owon, his wife and three children. The fire was caused by the explosion of kaeroseue lamp. One of the chil dren being indisposed, when the family retired Saturday night a lamp, turned down low, was left burning ou the lauding at the top of the stairs. About two o'clock Sunday morn ing the lamp exploded. In an instant there was a fire, which spread so rapid ly as to defy all attempts to extinguish it. The family, aroused by the explos ion, did their best to smother the flames and might have succeeded, had the Burning oil not run down between the flooring and the chimney where it ignited the \joodworfe inside of the plastering. —- The neighbors wore quickly aroused and while some ran down town to get word to the fire department others formed a bucket brigade and tried to extinguish the fire. In a short time, however, the flames burned through the weatherboards on the north side of the house. The high wind then blow ing drove the flames back into the house, where defying the bucket brigade, they speedily ate their way between the weather boards and plast ering and rapily enveloped the entire house. Meanwhile willing hands were busy carrying the household effects out of doors. With the exception of one bed every article in the house was saved. The alarm of fire was promptly sounded and the entire fire department responded. The burning house, how ever, was most difficult of access. Aside from its outlying position, the succession of hills leading to it had to be reckoned with as well as the rain that was falling and the mud and the slush uuder foot, which made the way doubly laborious. The companies, however,all succeed ed in dragging their apparatus to the scene of the fire but they were too late to render much assistance. The Good will company succeeded in getting a stream on the fire but it is claimed that whether due to a defect in the fire plug or lack of pressure ft was im possible to throw the water to any height. The firemen, however, continued to battle with the flames,but before they succeeded in extinguishing them the entire dwelling was burned with the exception of a portion of the first story. The timbers, remaining, how ever, are so badly burned and charred ed as to be worthless,and the structure will have to be razed to the ground. The residents of Sidler hill were early ou the scene of the fire and, pending the arrival of the fire depart ment, worked hard both in attempt ing to extinguish the fire and in carry iug out the furniture. Sunday Mr. Owen and his family found a hospitablo home with rela tives and friends. Their household effects likewise were taken care ot by neighbors and were said to be scaterd about over a large portion of Welsh hill.. It is forrtunate, indeed, that Mr. Owen's loss was small, :n lie car ried no insurance on his household goods. Simple Remedy for La (iflppe.

Heddens, at Washingtouville, early Sunday morn ing was the scene of a bold nttempt at robbery, which was frustrated by the warning given by a burglar alarm that aroused the proprietor and sub sequently the whole neighborhood, scaring the robbers into a hasty retreat just after they hail gained an entrance to the store. » Mr. Heddens' store is in a building separated from bis home by about ten feet, aud a burglar alarm connects the two structures. Sunday morning about 4 o'clock just when the storm was raging its fiercest, Mrs Heddens was awakened by the alarm sounding. Her husband heard it at almost the same instant. He rushed to the wind ow with his revolver and fired five shots into the air 111 quick succession to arouso the neighborhood. The reports had the desired effect for a number of men, soon pouring in to the street, saw disappearing down the road the forms of at least two of the burglars An examination of the store showed that the door had been forced. In the store were about $29.00, which the burglars had evidontly not had time to prooure. Mrs. Heddens is the teacher of the Dorry township school, aud ou Saturday evening she received two months' salary, amounting to 1100.00. It is thought that the thieves were aware of her possession of this amount, and that it was their inten tion to secure the]school teacher's pay.

Suter has installed the Hoard model cow stall at his new barn on Sunnysido farm. There is a greater significance to bo attached to this than might seem apparent at first thought, as it marks the progress that is being made in dairying—in sanitation as relates to the production aud the care of milk. There are few persons familiar with farm life who do not carry in thoir minds unpleasant memories of the cow stable, full of bad odors and unsanit ary, where such a thing as real cleanli ness, either as it relates to the stable or the cows themselves was scarcely ever dreamed of. When snob condi tions exist the qualitv of the milk pro duced is naturally in keeping with the cows aud the surroundings. The model Btall with which Mr. Suter has equipped his stable most convincingly demonstrates that with the proper care aud attention, the cow can bo kept as clean aud free from bad Odors as a well-groomed horse aud that the milk can be sent to market free from the least suspicion of harboring dangerous germs. Such a barn indeed is well worth a visit. So far as can be determined the Hoard model stalls adopted by Mr Suter are the only oaes to be found anywhere in this section. ludeed, up to the present there are only a few in use in the country. The stall renders it impossible for the cow to soil her self. The principal feature of the model stall is a movable ledge or crosspiece ou the floor, some four inches high, which is ajdusted to suit the exact length of the cow. In front of the ledge clean bedding is kept for the cow to lie upon, while behind the ledge taking in the whole row of stalls is a groove in the floor, which is cleaned out and flushed several times daily. When the cow wishes to lie down, to avoid the ledge or cross piece ou the floor she steps forward, bringing practically her whole body on the clean bed,which from the position she occupies it is impossible for her to soil. The rack in the model stall is so constructed that when the cow arises she is obliged to step backward,which brings her hind legs outside of the ledge. Cleanliness in the production of milk is still furthr promoted by a cus tom that is never departed from in Mr. Suter's barn. Before each milk ing the udder of every cow is washed with warm water and soap. Thus it is rendered impossible for bacteria of the stable or minute particles of dirt that might adere to the cow to find their way into the milk. As an extra precaution once a month all the sup erfluous hair is removed from the cow's udder. Mr. Suter's herd of cows contains thirteen beautiful Holsteins.the great er number being registered aud every one of which is a pet. There are three other cattle, not Holsteins, but which share in the general good treatment. Due to the healthy stock and cleanly surroundings the milk from Mr. Sut er's dairy has been known to preserve its sweetness and purity for three davs or longer even in the summer season.

The pain over my hips was continuous aud when on my feet it was one steady gnawing ache. It hurt me to do any thing requiring a bending position, sharp twinges would catch me so sud denly that I had to brace myself until they stopped. The kidney secretions annoyed me and I often suffered from headaches. I read statements given by people in this vicinity who had used Doau's Kidney Pills and conclud ed to try them. They did me more good than any other medicine I ever tried. After a few doses I 110 longer experienced such severe pain aud fin ally the pain was removed entirely.

The first case argued related to the inquisition on the body of Joseph E. Birks, who lost his life at the Ger mania brewery by drinking carbolic acid by mistake. W. V. Oglesby, acting coroner, ad dressed the court, explaining why he deemed an inquest necessary.
