    HEAR LYNCHING
A! MILLERSBURG
Almost the entile abb- bodied mal
population of Mllh rshurg assisted*
Irving Smith in preventing the elope
moll I ,»f his wife on Monday night,
and now that the excttemont has quiet
ed down to a ruitain extent it is coo
ceiled that the timely arrival of the
Pennsylvania evening passenger train
saved the town from a lynching
Kveu as matters turned out, Samuel
Mundorl, the man who was trying to
take Mrs. Smith a »ay, was given an
old-fashioned ride on a rail and un
mercifully beaten Some one bad pro
duced a ro]ie and cries of "lynch
him, " and " hang him" were begin
ning to arise when the train pulled
into the station. Some of the cooler
heads of the crowd rushed Muudorf
over to it and hustled him aboard,
with the injunction never to return if
he valued bis life.
Muudorf and Smith, are bakers, and
Mundorf boarded with the Smith fami
ly. Muudorf, who is about forty-five
years old recently became so attentive
to Mrs. Smith that the suspicions of
her husband were aroused and on
Monday when lie heard the woman
caution Mundorf to be careful to put
his glasses in his pocket, he decided
to watch.
He retired early in the evening, but
crawled into bed with his clothes on
and when be heard his wife leave the
bouse he quietly slipped through a
window and followed.
He came upon Mundorf and the wo
man and he asked her to return with
him. She refused to do this saying
that she was going away with Mun
dorf and while Smith continued to
plead with her the news of what was
going on got around and a crowd be
gan to gather.
Just how it started no one seems to
know but before long the crowd, by
this time fully 300 strong including
some of the best known business men
of the town, had Muudorf in charge
and Smith was left to deal single
handed with his wife. He took her
home.
Things did not turn out quite so
easily for her companion. In addition
to the beating and ride on a rail that
lie got his clothing was badly torn and
he was pretty thoroughly frightened.

A Unique Quarantine.
Tiiere is a long drawn howl of agony
from dog owners and sportsmen in
Mifflin county incident to the issue of
a general quarantine against all dogs
by the State Live Stock Sanitary board.
It means that all dogs must be placed
in close confinement for a period of
one hundred days, that any dog found
without a muzzle and under a leash,
will be shot and the owner have ab
solutely no redress, in addition may
be fined for voilation of quarantine
laws. This is for the purpose of stamp
ing out the epidemic of rabies. On
the other hand it means no hunting in
Mifflin county and that the game will
have at least one more season of grace.
Rabbits and small game are reported
very plenty.

CAR TURNS TURTLE
A thrilling and spectacular autorno
j 1)11 accident occurred at Packer's Li
lian I near Northumberland Saturday
evening,in which a'Danville car rnrn
ed turtle imprisoning the'occupants
underneath. No one was injured.
The accident was the result of a col
lision, both cars being from Danville.
About 5 o'clock, with Harold Pent/,
as chauffeur, Mr. ami Mrs. F. H. Yau
nau and two grandsons,lrvin and Wil
) liam Vannau, were luuuiug from Sun
j bury to Northumberland. At a point
on the island opposite the park they
were overtaken by one of Mr. Edmonil
sou'.s ears driven by Harrison Eilmond
son and containing Webster Foust,the
Misses Ethel and Mabel Foust and
! Daniel Blecher. As the latter car at
tempted to pass Mr. Vannan a collison
occurred, as the result of which the
Edmondson car skidded and turned
turtle pinuing down the occupants.
The spectacle was pre-eminently a
thriller, as every one believed that
those under the car were badly injur
ed. Fortunately a number of men on
their way home from work were pass
ing at the time and promptly lent a
hand in righting the machine and re
leasing those underneath. To the sur
prise of all no one was injured beyond
a few bruises, although all sustained
a fright, the full effects of which will
be felt for some time.
The lamp was broken on Mr. Yan
nan's car. The car which turned tur
tle fared worse, but was able to run
back to Danville.

INFECTED WITH
TUBERCULOSIS
The line herd of cattle on the farm
of the hospital for the insane number
ing over a hundred has been subjected
to the tuberculin test. As an unexpeet
ed result ten head "re-acted" or in
other words were found to be tuber
culous.
The hospital herd was examined and
j tested with tuberculin by Veterinarian
!J. O. Reed,an agent of the State Live
j Stock Sanitary Hoard. The number of j
I cattle found to bo tuberculous as the
result of the test is unusually large
and is hard to aacount for, as they
were all subjected to the tuberculin
test six mouths ago and were found to |
be free from evidence of infectious]
j disease. The same cattle altogether
have been examined from three to livi j
times. Regularly every six months the
test is made. At the last examination:
! six head ot' the big herd were found j
'to be tuberculous. At the preceding!
I examination all were found to be free]
i from the evidence of disease.
Yesterday afternoon the cattle found .
to be aftlioted with tuberculosis were I
j shipped to Soranton where they will!
be slaughtered under the supervision |
of an inspector maintained at that
place by the federal government. The |
| stables at the hospital occupied by the i
j condemned cattle will be thoroughly!
J cleaned and fumigated.
It is the purpose of the trustees ot j
j the hospital for the insane to arrange j
a building for the segregation of tub-1
erculous cattle. Not onlv will the cat- j
tie that show symptoms of disease be i
segregated but all cattle newly pur-|
! chased while being examined ami test- i
led with tuberculin will be kept sepa- |
rate from the main herd

I Councilman John Marshall shot a
wild turkey while hunting on Mon

I skey yesterday. It was a fifteen-pound
i bird, and was in a large flock. Only
I one wild turkey may be shot in a day,
j otherwise Mr. Marshall says ho feels
j confident that he could have bagged
two. He still has one wild turkey
coming, however, as two are the limit
for one season. He will try his luck
again.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
by looal applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tnbe is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness it the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will bo destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh )that cannot bo cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

WILL MI
TO DR. DIXON
Thn ichool hoard held a special
moeting last night for thn purpose of 1
taking action on thn question of for
nishing pnic water to the schools. It
was decided to further test thn bor
ough water supply and to put the
I question of wells squarely up to State
Health Commissioner l>r Dixon
The meeting was called to order h>
President W. A. Sechler, who explain- '
ed the object of the meeting, which
was to consider thn question of botint;
wells at the five school bulldinu* of
the borough.
The question after being discussed
»t the last meeting was referred tithe
committee on building an I repairs,
s*!.o was to obtain rates from Jere- i
miah Hoover, who is drilling wells in
rue hir lugh at present and also to
i sound the public to determine its at
: titudu toward the proposition of sink- |
| ing wells at the school buildings.
| Mr. l"i cher reported that ho had
I gone over the matter with Mr. Hoover |
very carefully and was surprised to
i find that the cost would be consider-
| ably less than had been figured on. He
I found that the tax payors were pretty 1
I evenly divided on the subject.
| Mr. Cole said he had interviewed a
| number of representative citizens, and J
j failed to find one that would encour- i
' age the school board togo ahead and j
j sink wells. For his part, he said, lie !
I believed if is the duty of the borough \
j to furnish the schools pure water and ,
' hv monthly tests to furnish evidence ;
that the water is absolutely pure.
Mr. Pursel took tha view that tiie j
boiling of water for the schools is a ;
"farce" and that by obviating this '
expense the wells in a few years would
pay for themselves.
Mr. Oitli urged several reasons why
; | the school board should go slowly in j
, | the matter of sinking wells.
, 1 Dr. Shultz gave a learned talk on
i j the relative purity of water, showing
| that it is practically impossible to ob
■ tain water that is absolutely pure. He
j cited the ease of Camdt iu, N J., which
: has got rid of typhoid fever by sink
| ing artesian wells, which of course,
! are much deeper than the wells cou
. tern plated in Danville.
. : Mr. Ortli cited an authority to show
I that the wells iu the borough should
1 be sunk to a dentil of at least 150 feet
in order to insure purity of water,
t J Again he urged that it was a question
j whether Dr. Dixon would approve of
1 | the wells.
\ 1 In view of the diversity of opinion,
. on motion of Mr. Fischer, it was ord
ered that samples of water —from the
; water works and from the faucets at.
i each of the school buildings—be sent
\ to the laboratories for analysis and
1 j that the opinion of Dr. Dixon be ask
. j ed on the subject of supplying schools
■' ! from wells such as the school board
j has under consideration.
