Montour American FRANK C. ANULE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Apr. 22, 1909. SUIE HE OF CUTTLE PHI HARRI3BURG. April 21. Announcement lust night that the quarantine restrictions had beeu lifted by both tlio United States auil Penn nylvauin authorities from nil parts of this State for foot am! inout.li disease brings to an cud what cattla meu and State offlolals consider to have been the bent campaign ever waged against the cattle plague. It has cost the State and National governments possibly $300,000 to eradi cate the disease, but the history of the plague shows that never before in so short time has its spread been stopped, j The disease was traced to Buffalo ami eight shipments from that city caused it to spread into twenty counties, in cluding most of those in the south eastern part of the.State, and a uuni bejr on the Susquehanna valley. Be cause of it the cattle yards of Phila delphia and Lancaster were placed un der restrictions and shipments virtu ally ceased for a time. The first case was noted on Noveui- j !>er fi in Montour county, and within two weeks the whole State was in faderal quarantine. So vigorous was the action of State Veterinarian Pear- j son and his staff, acting in conjuuc- j tiou with the national authorities, j huwever, that 2000 head of cattle of various kinds were found to be suffer- i ing from the disease and slaughtered before the middle of December. Then, when the disease had been checked and no new cases found for some time, two were discovered to have been suppressed in Lancaster county, and it was only by the hard est work on the part of State author ities that the Federal officials would modify the quarantine. The State is now free of restrictions because of the disease, and only the ] farms where diseased cattle were bill- j ed and now ones brought are under j observation. This will last but a few i weeks longer. CATTLE EMBARGO LIFTED Washington, April 21—Satisfied that ! ttio foot and month disease in cattle, ■ sheep aud swine has beeu completely | eradicated from the UnitedJ'States, Seoretaiy of Agriculture Wilson yet- ! tarday issued au order, effective April X' 4, releasing the entire country from the Federal quarantine.

Early Mr. Whistler as a letter writer became u personage to be reckoned with. His pen was very frequently dipped in gall, but it Is a joy to read him, with his very delightful personal style. No one ever wrote quite like him. Hamerton, with whom he had many passes, always to the critic's great discomfiture, once, in reviewiug his "Symphony In White," stupidly called attention to the fact that there were many other tluts in the picture liesides white. There was, he main tained, the reddish hair of the woman, for instance; her flesh color, a bit of blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re sponded; "Bon Dleu, did this wise per son expect white hair and chalked faces? And does he then, in his as tounding consequence, believe that n symphony in F contains no other note, but shall be a continued repetition of F F F F? * * * Fool." _\nd, of course, the world is familiar with Whistler's studied Insolence in his reply to a com munication in the New York Tribune by Hamerton, who complained that Whistler refused to answer his letters. Whistler referred to the writer as "a Mr. Hamerton." wliJ*'i made Hamer ton perfectly furious and so served Whistler's ends.—Arthur Hoeber in Forum. Four stations for the training of miners in rescue work have been es tablished recently by the big coal com panies of the United States, and sev eral more are in contemplation. This is a direct outcome of the demonstra tions in rescue work l>eing made by the United States geological survey, the technologic branch, at its experi ment station in Pittsburg and at the snbrescue station in Urbana, 111. "The fact that these stations have been established is gratifying to tiie geological survey," said Director George Otis Smith the other day at Washington."lt shows the interest the operators and mine owners are tak ing in this humane movement, and it is bound to result in a decrease in the number of deaths in the mines. The sole purpose of the government in tak ing up this work was to demonstrate its usefulness. It is not the intention to make' the rescue station work per manent." Perhaps the most complete of these private stations is that of the Frick Coke company, which employs 30,000 men. The station has been erected at the Leislngring mine, near Connells ville, Pa., in easy reach of all of the Frifck company's mines. There a corps of six men is being trained in the use of the oxygen helmet, a device that admits of artificial breathing for two hours in the most deadly gases known. In order that the men may have prac tical experience in the use of these helmets a part of the station has been devoted to an air tight room which is filled with gases that will not support life. A dailj- drill is being given In this gas filled room, and they are gain ing confidence in the use of the hel mets. Within a short time the corps will visit the government experiment station at Pittsburg, where the mem bers will receive further instruction by the federal experts. Whenever a disaster occurs in any of the Frick company's mines the res cue corps will respond at once and | will immediately enter the mine for ! j the purpose of bringing to the sur- | j face miners who have been injured j | or are unconscious from the effects of | the pises. With these helmets the ; I rescuers can enter any gas filled mine j j where it would be sure death for any j I unequipped miner to go. In many ' disasters the men fortunate e >ugh to J be outside <>f the mine when the ex plosion occurred have hud to remain ; | at the surface for hours, waiting for 1 the ventilation to drive the gases out. 1 knowing all the time that their com ratios were dying. A second rescue station lias been os : tablished by the Consolidated Coal , Companies of Maryland at the mine ; of the Fairmont company, Fairmont, 1 jW. Va. A trained corps of helmeted men is ready for any emergency in this field. A third station has been erected by 1 the I'ittsburg-lSuffalo company at the ill fated Marianna mine in Pennsylva nia, which last November had an ex i plosion with a loss of ISO lives. Al- 1 ! ready this station has a complete corps j of six highly trained men who know j how to use the oxygen helmets. A fourth station is at the Zeigier mines in Zeigier, 111. This company i i has a trained corps of six men, all j picked for their coolness, courage and : daring, for these elements are neees- j i sary in rescue work. J. W. Paul, who has charge of the j rescue work for the government, left \ Washington recently for Europe, where he will study rescue work at the Eu -1 ropean stations. t "In the short time we have been op- ! crating we have saved the lives of six ' men," said Mr. Paul, "and if we did i nothing more the results would war- i rant everything that lias been done so j far by the United States in trying to reduce the accident death rate In the , mines. liut I am satisfied more good : will come from our efforts. The four stations just established will be the | means of saving the lives of many ' miners, for we all know that many a poor fellow imprisoned in a mine tilled ; with Ihe dread firedamp has lived in ! agony for hours before he died. I un- j derstand that the operators are toes- \ tablish many more stations." A Light Burden.

The grating protecting the wiudows of the building, it appears, is lighter than that nsed at the old buildings, consisting merely of light parallel iron bars extending up aud down with two cross bars, oue near the top and the other near the bottom. Many of the attaches of tho hoepita pronounced the bars too light and pre dicted that au escape would sooner or later occur. It remained for au ad venturous patient the other day to full fill the prediction by crawliug out be tween tho bars. Luckily lie was cap tured before he escaped from thu ground. All the patient had to do was to his strength, bending the frail bars apart and thus producing au opening j sufficient to admit Ins body. It is now proposed to reinforce the j gratiug bv inserting au additional j crossbar midway between the top aud I bottom. This.it is believed, will make ! it impossible for the most muscular patient to bend the bars apart and will ; prevent escape through tho windows. ! The additional crossbars base beeu ordered. Called the Deal Off. A lad attending school craved a lit- ; tie holiday one morning when he started out to wrestle once agnin with I the trials incident to getting an edu- | cation. As he entered the schoolroom J he hatched a plot to get the coveted j holiday. He went up to the teacher's j desk and told his story. "My mother j wants to know if you won't excuse j me for today?" he began. "She wants j me to do some work at home and thought if I'd study at home this even- ! ing and make up what I'd missed mebby you'd let me off." Something about the lad's manner kept the words from carrying convie-; tiou. The teacher bluffed back as fol lows: "Tommy," said she, "you won't need togo home at all. Since you started to school your mother called me on the phone to tell me that she had changed her mind and for you to stay here." j The lad looked at her, startled. "Aw, well," he said, "as long as both of us arc lyin' about It let's Just call It I quits. I'll stay here."—Cleveland Plain j Dealer. A Wealthy Soldier's Idea.

"About £i!00." said the colonel testily. "Very well," was the answer; "I will come down to the camp and give yon a cheek for the amount. Then I'll turn in. I wouldn't catch ray death of void for twice that much." What the < olonel s:iid Is not record , rd. Melbourne Times. Gardens For Chicago's Poor.

CARMEL The anaaal meeting of the Northum berland presbytery closed a two days' session at Mt. Oarmel Tuesday even iug. lie?. William Geiumil, retiring moderator, preached a brilliant sermon on Monday evening The following officers were eleoted : Moderator, Rev. D. Kiefer, Milton; permanent clerk, Rev. William Presgoti, of Elysburg ; reading cleik, Rev. Mr. Greybill, of St. Mary's. The anuuai reports show that there are forty-one pastors with forty-eight churches in the presbytery and 8 819 members. During the past year 968 was spent by the various congrega tions for congregational purposes while $10,385 was given for home mis sions and SB,OSS was given for foreign mißßions. The total number of scholars ill the presbytery is more than 6,000. At the opening of Monday's session the regular minutes of the last meet ing which had met in Benton, were read and accepted after which Rev. E. A. Lux and the Rev. Spencer Dick son. were received as members of the presbytery, the former having lately been chosen pastor of the Emporium church, the latter lately coming with in bounds of this presbytery as pastor | at Bloomsburg. The order of the ses sion for Tuesday's meeting was read ! after which recess was taken until 7 :30 j o'clock in the evening. The evening session was opened by j the retiring moderator, the Reverend ( Dr. (Jemmil.with devotional services, j The scripture was read by the Rev. j Mr. Sperbeck, of Watsontown. and! prayer was made by the Rev. Dr. j Dicksou, of Kloomsburg. The synodical sermon was preached j by the Rev. Dr. Gemmil after which j the moderator-elect, the Rev. Mr. ! Kieffer presented the cause of "Syno dical Home Missions in Pennsyl- . vania." He said in part that the fundamental purpose of the hoard was for the stronger eastern synods to care for the weaker churches within its bounds and also to care for the neces sary missionary which might develop within their bounds The aim was to correct two evils, first to overcome if possible the frequent changes of pastors in these less re munerative fit-Ids which oftentimes was made imperative because of the lack of i • ipor support accorded them 01 d also to remedy the disastrous re sults u| -a the churches because of long prctraeted vacancies. The rever euti gentleman showed that the work ot the home mission board was a high ly commendable one in its labors to aid su'ii churches mostly old and eu feebled because of death aud emigra tion which otherwise would be com pelled to abandon their cluuches but for the needed assistance given to tlieui through the channels of this hoard The work of the board as was also shown is to care for the work among the foreigners of which the Presby terian church is cue of the pioneers and is doing a most commendable work. From the statements of Dr Kieffer it was learned that the work aiiiaui; foreign spakiug peoples is showing' good Jesuits and wherever In a Strange Land. Two belated diseipies of Bacchus' staggered arm in arm up Walnut street about I! o'clock the other morn ing.

"Oh, look at. zhe moonsh'" The other seriously contradicted him. saying: "That ain't no moonsh; stash sun." This started an argument, which lasted for several minutes, as to wheth or the globe was the moon or the sun. Finally they decided to leave it to the j first passerby, who happened to be an other "happy" gentleman. They stop- I ped him and, pointing to the globe, asked: i "Settle an argument, old pal. Is that the moon or the sun?" The third party stared knowingly at the globe for several minutes before he shook his head aud replied: "Gentlemen, I really couldn't tell you.

Perhaps the weirdest and most ini pressive of the many uuwontcil mem ories that the traveler carries away with liiui from travel in the east is the recollection of the camel caravans which he has encountered at night. Out of the black darkness is heard the distant boom of a heavy bell. Mourn fully and with perfect regularity of iteration it sounds, gradually swelling nearer and louder and perhaps min gling with the tones of smaller bells signaling the rear guard of the same caravan. The big bell is the insignia and alarm of the leading camel alone. But, nearer and louder as the sound becomes, not another sound and not'a visible object appears to accompany It. Suddenly and without the slight est warning there looms out of the darkness, like the apparition of a phantom ship, the form of the captain of the caravan. His spongy tread sounds softly on the smooth sand, and like a great string of linked ghouls the silent procession stalks by and is swal lowed up in the night.—"Persia and the Persian Question."

GOVERNOR WANTS NO MISTAKES MADE HARKISBURQ, April 21. fl "According to the almanac I am Kiven thirty days after the legislature adiourns to consider the hills it passes and leaves with me within ten days prior to adjournment, but as a matter of fact after the work of tabulating these bills and classifying them, and going over them carefully is done, I really have but fifteen days." So spoke Governor Stuart sitting in his work shop at the oapitol, knowing that lie had 714 bills to consider, which when placed on a heap made a volume over fonr feet in thickness. And that is what the governor will have to tackle in a very short time. Being a man of business, he relies solely npon himself to see that there aie no mistakes made and before he approves an appropria tion he will know all about it. Chairman James F. Woodward, of the house appropriations committee, returned to Harrisbnrg from Washing- I ton yesterday to finish np the work of I tabulating the appropriation bills for I the governor. This took some time, ] but he finished it today and leaves for j home tonight. Outside of this tabula tion Executive Clerk Lynch will also arrange a table of appropriation hills, and these will be compared with the original bills by tlie governor, so that a mistake is safeguarded against at three points. Chairman Woodward is not at all pleased with the way the senate raised the appropriation bille after they were passed by the house, and after his committee had given them the most careful consideration. Hefore leaving with Secretary Lnkeos Mr. Woodward will also file the ex pense account of the appropriations committee, which was given SIO,OOO with which to work. Secret Society Among Sese Islanders.
