I suffered a great deal from kidney
complaint and headache and whenever
I brought any strain ou the muscles of
my loins, such as is done when stoop

CLOSED AND FUMIGATED
A case of scarlet fever luis broken
out in a fumliy, owe of tin? children of
which i.i !i pupil in the Danville high
school. As a result of the occurrence
the second story of the first ward
building embracing the several depart
ments of the high school had to be
closed and fumigated Tuesday.
The family in which the new case
occurred lives outside the borough.
The child that contracted the disease,
it is said, was a pupil in the second
ward school before the latter was
closed by the board of health.
As soon as the facts of the case be
came known Tuesday morning the
high school was dismissed and the
fumigation of all the rooms on the
second story began.
A case of diphhteria developed in
the first ward Monday morning. Aside
from the fact that the infected area is
growing in "xtent there is nothing
especially new as relates tocommunic

ward 011 which placarded houses occur
seems to have but little difficulty in

lies 011 the piemises, the effect of his

cient to compel an obedience of the
rules and regulations of the board of
health.

JAIL DELIVERY
AT BLOOM
Bloomsburg was the scone of a "jail
delivery" Saturday in which one of
the prisoners that escaped was Joseph
Kelly of Ihis city. Kelly then com
pleted his remarkable escapade by sur
rendering himself to Sheriff Knt at the
Bloomsburg jail yesterday afternoon,
after being at large a little more than
twenty-four hours.
Kelly, it will be recalled,along with
John James, was arrested on October
Ist charged with the larceny of a cel
lar furnace. Kelly, who has not yet
hail liis trial, along with another pris
oner, who was serving time for non
payment of costs, on Saturday morn
ing were put to work cleaning out the
corridor in the Bloomsburg jail.
For convenience the warden left one
of the gates or doors open; the other
gate, it appears, was also open al
though the person in charge thought
it was closed. The situation was well
understood by the two prisoners, who
bided their time and when the guards
were all absent they quietly walked
out.
They were soon missed, but the es
caped prisoner made good use of the
interval and succeeded in getting
away.
THEN GAVE HIMSELF UP
Sunday afternoon Kelly gave lulu
s' If up to Sheriff Knt at the Blooms
| burg jail. He claims to have been in
Danville since his escape. Sunday
he landed in Bloomsburg on board the
it o'clock Danville & Bloomsburg trol
ley, alight ing at Railroad street, and
making his way to the jail by int're
quented streets. He said he didn't
want any officer to get the glory for
his arrest —that ho was practically
certain of being recaptured and thought
it would far better with him if he
surrendered.
The other man is still at large. His
foolishness in making a break for lib
erty is understood when it is known
that he was being held for the pay
ment of a fine and would have been
released in a few days under the in
solvency act.

WASHIES ELECT
THEIR OFFICERS
The "Wushies" held their company
election on Saturday night. Wesley
Hollabaugh was selected as candidate
for the position of chief engineer of
the fire department.
Officers of the company were elected
as follow : President, Walter Mottern;
secretary, David Thomas; assistant
secretary, Harry Jones; foreman, Ed
ward Mowrey; first- assistant foreman,
Gideon Wray ; second assistant fore
man, William Kdmondson; trustee,
Frank Kramer; treasurer, Wesley Hol
lobaugh.
Interest at the election principally
centered in the choice of a candidate
for chief engineer, which office, un
der the rule of "rotation" in force,
this year comes to the Washington
Fire company and a nomination, there
fore, is practically equivalent to an
election.
There were three candidates in the
Washington company for the office of
chief engineer: Wesley Hollobaugh,
A. (Roat and Edward Melliu. Mr.
Hollobangh won out at the election by
j a substantial majority.
I In addition to his personal popular
ity the successful candidate is a brave
and experienced fireman and possesses
in au eminent degree all those quali
! ties that goto make lip an efficient
I chief.

STRUCK MILK WAGON
By a margin of several inches Charles
Appleman, the Valley township dairy
j man who serves milk over a route in
i Danville,escaped death yesterday when
i the wag3n ho was driving was struck
!by a Reading pusher on the crossing
' at Mansdale.
Appleman was returning home after
i having covered his route shortly after
I noon. As he approached the crossing
I ho noticed a pusher taking water at
j the tank just east of the crossing, but
as the locomotive was headed toward
Danville, he judged it would go in
that direction. Instead the engine
started running backward just in time
to strike the wagon as it got upon the
tracks.
The tender hit the wagon a few
inches back of the middle entirely de
molishing the vehicle and cutting the
horses loose. The wagon, smashed like
an egg shell, was thrown to one side,
and a few minutes later Mr. Appleman
crawled from the wrecked top, badly
bruised aud cut, but not seriously in
jured. The horses were caught beyond
Mausdale.
Hail the locomotivo struck the wagon
a few inohes further front Mr. Apple
man's chances of escaping with his
life would liavo been exceedingly slim.
SOLD GROCERY BUSINESS
Roland and Leon Moyer, two well
known young men of this city, have

CONDUCTOR'S
PAINFUL INJURY
C. N. Childs, conductor on the D.
IJ. & W. switch engine, just before
noon Saturday, met with a very pain
ful accident, which for awhile threat
ened to result seriously.
The switcher crew was engaged in
shifting cars a short distance above
the station. They were employing the
usual method of shifting when the
engine is on one track and the car to
be moved is on the other; namely, by
the use of a "pushing stick."
Mr. Childs, Saturday, was holding
the stout pole, or "pushing stick" in
position, between a socket on the end
of the engine and the side of the
freight car. As the engine was start
ed and force was applied the stick in
stead of pushing the car ahead broke
in two, one end striking in the abdo
men, the conductor, who was "hug
ging" tlie heavy pole close to his
body.
The breath was completely knocked
out of the man; the effect, of the shock,
too, was such as to produce a state of
collapse and Mr. Childs fell over and
lay apparently lifeless, lie was quick
ly placed on board the switcher and
taken down to the station, where Dr.
Paules was summoned.
Tlif doctor applied restoratives ami
after tlm man revived somewhat ad
ministered a sedative to ease the pain,
which was most excruciating. The
doctor failed to discover any internal
injury or any broken hones. It win
late in the afternoon before the man
so far recovered as to be able to leave
the station.
Milton's Good Fortune.
Five hundred 10,500 gallon capacity
tank cars have been ordered by the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Pe rail
road from the Milton branch of the
American Car and Foundry company.
This order with others on hand and in
Right is enough to kowpthe works run
ning most of the winter. The cars will
have steel umlerframes. Another in
dustry is to come to Milton. It is the

PAID FOR DOOR
The five boys who broke in the front
door of Simon Brown's residence,
Ferry street, Saturday night, were ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace
Dalton Monday. Information* was
lodged by Mr. Brown, the warrants
being served by Officer Voris.
The boys ranged in age from four
teen to sixteen years. Each pleaded
guilty to the charge and did not seem
to think that he had done anything
very reprehensible, as if was Hallowe
'en when according to the idea of the
boys everything went.
The boys were obliged to reimburse
Mr. Brown for his door, which will
have to be replaced with a new one.
Together with costs the bill that each
boy had to pay amounted to 77.
Overcome at Husband's Funeral.

PAINTING TRUNKS
OF FUJI TREES
A physician, who is interested in |
fruit culture, wrote to Professor H. I
A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, in reference to painting trees
with white leail ami linseed oil, as a
protection against borers, as follows:
In the Reading Eagle I saw a report
of your demonstration given at the
poor house grounds at Shillington,
showing the advantage of painting
trunks of trees with white lead and
raw linseed oil for borers. We have
done this, but since heard that some
Shillington fruit growers lost a great
number of trees by this method. I
write to you, asking as to the advant
age of this treatment, and :f there is !
danger of smothering the trees by I
painting them."
The answer of State Zoologist Sur- I
face follows:
" Replying to your letter of recent j
date, I beg to say that I am deeply in- j
ternsted in your statement, that you '•
have heard that the Shillington fruit j
growers lost a number of trees by!
painting th 111 with white lead anil i
linseed oil. 1 must acknowledge that j
this is news to me, as I have not been i
inforniett concerning such loss.
However, I do know that ten.-; of:
thousands of trees have been painted |
with this material in this State with- j
out injury to them. Of course, you j
understand that 1 r> commend painting |
only apple, pear and quince trees, as
there is no advantage in painting'
peach trees,and the last named is more j
delicate than the others. Neverthe
less, two years ago I painted my young
peach trees, and this year took my
most abundant and best crop of peaches
from the trees that had been painted.
I can not. believe that painting has
hurt the trees to which you refer, un
less "boiled" oil or impure material
were used. I should like to be inform
ed as to just what persons lost their
trees by painting them; how many
they lost, and under what conditions.
I should then like to trace up this in
formation and see what material was
used, and where it was procured,
really think there is no danger when
raw oil and pure lead are used.
I have seen tens of thousands of
trees painted in Adams county by the
extensive fruit growers of that county
without any danger to any of the trees.
They are continuing it after four or
five years of successful practice.
"The advantage of painting the
trunks of apple, pear and quince trees
is, that the borers are kept out during
the summer time, and the rabbits and
mice are not nearly so liable to gnaw
them in the winter. I think there is
no advantage in painting peach trees
and plum trees (unless it be for rab
bits and mice), and, therefore, do not
recommend it."

PHONE TO AID TRAINMEN
The Reading Railway company is
introducing the telephone service at
all passing sidings on the Catawissa
division between East Mahanoy Junc
tion and West Milton.
The number of miles of track to be
covered is t>7 and there will be 18 tele
phone sations, located at East Mahanoy
Junction, Lofty,Girard, Brandouville,
Krebs, Ringtown, Ferndale, Beaver,
Valley, McAuley, Mainville, Cata
wissa, Rupert, Grovania, Danville,
Mansdale, Mooresbnrg, Dougal and
West Milton. It is not the purpose to
do away with the telegraph in the
running of trains but to nso the tele
phones as an accessory.
It will enable the trainmen who is
not a telegraph operator and who may I
be miles away from a telegraph office I
to get into instant communication !
with the train dispatchers and, in
many instances, save valuable time. j
It will enable train crews to know
just where the train they are laying
out for is and often times will enable
it to get a right of way which it could
not get for hours if it had to get word j
by a telegraph office first.
This system is now in operation j
throughout the yards and on the basin i
branch where telephone boxes have j
been installed and the train crews, by ,
using them, save much time in getting j
a right of way and making the neces
sary movements.

The Cause of Many

the kidney-poison-
Mood will at
tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in .
the urine, head ache, back ache, lame
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
| from a derangement of the kidneys and
| better health in that organ is obtained
: quickest by a proper treatment of the kid

; hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
iof being compelled togo often through
| the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
| is soon realized. It stands the highest be
j cause or its remarkable lualtii restoring
j properties. Atrial will convince anyone.

TWENTY-TWO
| DEATHS REPORTED
In view of the recent outbreak of
! communicable diseases, which has
| made it necessary to close the schools
jof the second ward,the report of the
; local registrar to the bureau of vital
: statistics for the month of October pos
i sesses an especial interest. Fortunate-
I ly not a death has as yet resulted from
i either diphtheria or scarlet fever and
>the low death rate of several months
| past still prevails.
j In the district twenty-two deaths
! occurred during October. Of these
| eight were reported from the hospital
I for the insane.
I Up to November Ist eight cases of
| diphtheria and five cases of scarlet
i fever were reported by physicians for
. 1 October. That no deaths due to the
; above disease were reported is probab
jly uot remarkable and is not to be
taken as evidence that the cases of
! diphtheria auil scarlet fever are neces
sarily of a mild tpye. Death from
I i
j diphtheria, especially, is not expected
J to occur iu these days when antitoxin,
the efficiency of which is universally
accepted, is accessible to all classes
; and is so generally applied. Statistics
| show that antitoxin has reduced deaths
i from diphtheria to a minimum—to
I less than 5 per cent.
' | Only one case of typhoid fever was
' | reported in October. Two cases of
' | measles occurred, which shows that
1 j this tenacious disease is still lurking
i in town and that vigilance on the part
!of the authorities will be required to
