Monday evening the oth, Clarence
Stowait received fatal injuries by driv
ing off a bridge near Kenoza, X. Y. He
was 24 years of age. Jack Cooper, who
was riding with hi.n escaped injury.
Stewart's skull was fractured, his jaw
and back broken. He was taken to a
Xew York hospital where he died Wed
nesday. He was a son of the late Thos.
Stewart, of Kenoza Lake, and is the
third one in the family to meet a vio
lent death. About sixteen years ago
his brother Thomas, was killed by a
falling tree at Equinnnk, and about ten
years ago Walter, another brother, was
killed on the railroad in Michigan,
where ho was employed as brakeman.
His ancestors all died suddenly of heart
failure. Three brothers and one sister
survive.
The rain which fell in this region
during the early days of last week, rais
ed the streams above a good fishing
height for the opening of the trout 6Pa
son on Thursday. A number of our
sportsmen went, out, nevertheless, John
Theobald, Ed. Reichenbacker, Leonard
Guckenberger and A. A. Grambs start
ing on Wednesday evening in order to
be in time to give the presumably bun
gry lish an earlv breakfast after their
winter's fast. They returned on Tlmrs
day evening with a catch of sixty, all of
legal size but none sufficiently large to
furnish a basis for a very big story
"Hichev" thinks he would have done
better had it not been for the interfer
ence of a rampageous bull, which dis
puted his right of way. He made a
swish at the vicious beast with his rod
and had the good luck to flick the hook
through the animal's nose, whereat lie
turned tail and galloped off, taking a
section of the line with him. Ed. says
he would have been willing to let him
have the pole too, if the brute had stop
ped to argue, and no other compromise
could be made.
Mrs. Amelia Bajus, daughter of
George Vanosdoll, whose farm is locat
edon Boot's brook in Berlin township,
was the victim of a serious runaway ac
cident on Saturday afternoon last. She
was driving down south Erie street,
nearly opposite Tracyville, when her
horse took fright, and, running away
crashed over a bank near the residence
of Mrs. Garrett. Mrs. Bajus was un
conscious when lifted from the wreck,
and on regaining tier senses was very
nervous and hysterical, and unable to
talk about the accident. Dr. Burns was
called, and it was found that her right
upper arm was broken in two places
and her shoulder badly bruised. She
was taken into Mrs. Garrett's house,
and on Sunday afternoon on the advice
of the attending physician was taken to
Dr. ReedBums's Hospital, inScranton,
for treatment. Mrs. Cole accompanied
her. Mrs. Bajus is a middle-aged lady
Honesdale Lodge, No. 43, of the
Keystone Guard, held a meeting laBt
week and elected the following officers :
President, J. A. Flederbachcr ; Past
President, L. L. Woodley j Vice Frcsi
dent, William Buchanan j Secretary,
William Bader; Treasurer, John T,
Boyd ; Chaplain, E. W. Hambly ; Guide,
B. F. Bayly ; Warden, I, S. Dennis ;
Sentinel, A. Butler ; Trustee for three
years, Frank Cornell. During the past
year members of this lodge have recelv
ed about $300 in sick benefits.
The time is here when cellars and
back yards should be thoroughly clean
ed up and plenty of lime and white
wash used. It costs so little to have a
clean, bright, sweet smelling house and
the return is so great that we often
wonder why bo many people live in
squalor when the cheapest brightness
they can get is cleanliness.
Squire Peter Fisher, of Beaver
township, Columbia county, is laid
up, due to his left leg being broken
below the knee, the result of a load
of hay being blown upon him by the
severo wind. This la the eighth
time that this same limb has been
injured in that many years. Ho
has been run over by wagons, fall
en from hay mows, had a load of
shot sent through the limb, tendons
torn loose in a runaway, pitchfork
thrust through the leg and also had
the limb badly mangled In a mow
ing machine. Still the limb has es
caped amputation.
The deposits In the Calllcoon
bank were about $350,000. Prob
ably the heaviest loser is Ellas Mit
chell, who had a deposit of $9,000.
Not only were private citizens hurt
by the failure but nearly all of the
public funds of the village and of
lodges and church societies were
kept there. Among them was
James H. Curtis, supervisor from
that town, who had on deposit, 3,-
000 of town funds. As an example,
a few of the other big losers are
mentioned: .Masonic Lodge ?700;
St. Joseph's College J3.000; Henry

His Hens Lay Ham und Kggs.
SOUTH NORWALK. Conn. John
H. Smith of the local police force
has a brood of hens which from a
persistent diet of ham clippings and
pork rinds lay eggs which cannot
be told from a full fledged break
fast of ham and eggs. The yolks
are hard and ham-like in appear
ance, while the white of the egg
has retained Its old appearnnce and
taste.
At present the eggs are a trifle
too salty, but by a slight applica
tion of sugar in their diet, Mr.
Smith, who Is a poultry fancier of
long experience, is bringing his
unique product up to a state of
rare perfection. The flavor Is per
fect, and when boiled or fried the
eggs make an ideal breakfast.
They can also be eaten raw, when
they are said to be delicious.
Smith has a high fence around
his hennery, and all of his experi
ments are carried on In secrecy.
His eggs command fabulous prices,
both as food and for setting pur
poses, selling readily at twenty-five
cents each. Not satisfied with his
ham and eggs egg, Mr. Smith has
started another brood on a diet of
cheese with a view to producing
eggs that will pass for Welch rab
bits. He is confident that he can
revolutionize the egg business and
bring his stock to such a variety and
perfection that he will be able to
supply about any food on an ordi
nary menu.
CITIZEN'S 5 MILE RACE.
In hopes that every athlete will
read the following suggestions, they
are herein printed for their guid
ance. First, before competing, or even
entering upon the course of train
ing necessary to compete in this
event safely, each athlete is ad
vised to have his heart examined.
Second, not only should the athlete
have his arms and body covered in
his practice, but he should likewise
wear a loose fitting pair of long
woolen trousers, and he should have
his feet well protected, by strong
soles, from the pebbles and hard
road, and thus avoid bruises.
While the man running feels
warm, his arms and shoulders being
exposed to the cold air it is very
easy for him to contract rheuma
tism and colds, which will result
later in life in much pain and dis
comfort. The training should be started
with long walks at a rapid gait with
frequent jogs, and the distance of
the jog should be gradually in
creased until by the 15 of May every
contestant can safely jog at about
two-thirds his best speed the full
course of five miles without great
inconvenience. He should be es
pecially sure to cover up warmly af
ter his work, and after his heart
and lungs have resumed their nor
mal rhythm, and his temperature
has become normal, to bo rubbed
down In a warm room, free from,
draughts, after which ho should rest
In bed warmly covered up for at
least an hour.
Since the race Is to bo In the af
ternoon, the best time to train for
this race is at that hour.
Tobacco and liquor should be
avoided, as no man can get in his
best condition and partake of these
things; especially Is this true of tho
young athlete who haB not formed
the habit of depending upon these
stimulants.
Four times around the Central
Park Is a mllo.
Entries should be made as soon
as possible.

RESTORES
DEAD ID LIFE
Marvelous Method of Resusci
tation as Practiced by a
New York Physician
OR. CHILE'S AMAZING RESUATS
Method Applied Successfully to a
Number of Patients Who Have Ap
parently Died After Accidents Hu
man Heart Responds to Treatment.
New York City. Dr. George Crile,
who has attained remarkably success
ful results In the Held of plastic surg
ery, recently described his methods of
ressuscltatlng persons apparently
dead before the faculty of the College
of Physicians. The procedure is de
scribed as follows:
"The patient Is placed In the prone
posture and rapid rhythmical pressure
is made on the lower portion of the
chest, which produces artificial respir
ation and to a certain extent artltical
circulation,
"A cannula is rapidly Inserted into
any artery and directed toward, the
heart. To this a rubber tube and fun
nel are attached and Bterile normal
salt solution or Locke's solution, or
Ringer's solution, is poured into the
vessel.
"When about a quart of fluid has
passed Into the blood vessels fifteen to
thirty minims of a one to one thou
sand adrenalin solution are injected
into the vessel by inserting the needle
of the hypodermic syringe through the
rubber tubing close to the cannula.
Synochronously with this injection the
rhythmical pressure on the chest is
brought to its maximum, so that tho
solution shall reach the heart prompt
ly. "When tho pressure within tho
coronary arteries reaches 30 to 40
millimeters of mercury the heart be
gins to beat. The cannula Is then
withdrawn. The saline solution is
used for the purpose of filling tho
arteries, so that the adrenalin solu
tion will reach the heart promptly.
Such a technique must be of service:
the operating room staff must bo
trained that the materials and instru
ments may be produced within two
minutes after the cessation of respira
tion or of the heart-beat.
"Dr. Crile has applied his method
to a number of patients, who have ap
parently died after accidents, such as
drowning, shock by live wires, etc.,
and he finds that the human heart re
sponds to the treatment more readily
than the hearts of experimental ani
mals. One patient so treated recov
ered permanently. Tho method does
not destroy the chance of permanent
recovery of the patient. It does pre
vent operative death on the table,
and allows the fatal termination to
come after the return of the patient
to his bed a much less distressing cir
cumstance. "It is, in Dr. Crile's opinion, the best
method of resuscitation, excepting the
direct transfusion of blood, and in
cluding the administration of stimu
lants, oxygen, electricity and cardiac
massage."
SPOT WHERE HEROES FELL.
Savannah Sons Find Place Where
Jasper and Pulaski Died.
Savannah, Ga. Representatives of
the Society of the Sons of the Ameri
can Revolution have at last fixed be
yond doubt the exact spot where
Sergt. Jasper and Count Pulaski fell
in the battle fought here on October
9, 1779.
The spot Is In the Spring Hill re
doubt, which has never been marked,
and but for old accounts could hardly
have been located. The report to the
Sons of the Revolution tells of the
fight at Spring Hill redoubt when the
Americans and their French allies at
tempted to retake the city and fur
nishes proof that Jasper and Pulaski
were shot at the redoubt.
There are monuments to Jasper and
PulaBkl 'here, but not on the spot
where they died. It is proposed to
mark on October 9 the spot where
these heroes fell.
MACHINE GUNS ON AIRSHIPS.
German Army Authorities Trying
8mall Cannon on Zeppelin Type.
Berlin, Germany. The military air
ship of the future is to be armed
with small cannon or machine guns.
The army authorities at several head
quarters throughout Germany are ex
perimenting along this line, and It has
been virtually decided to provide bal
loons of the rigid Zoppelln type, eith
er with cannon of small calibre or ma
wine guns.
Tie danger rosultlng from the re
coll and the escape of gas from the
muzzle has been practically eliminat
ed by a system of adjustments the de
tails of which are kept secret. It Is
proposed also to arm the semi-rigid
balloons of the Parseval and Gross
types wltlf a lighter rapid-fire weapon,
thus enabling them to attack Infantry
detachments.

CARING FOR THE SHEEP IN WINTER.
Protection from Harsh Winds, Wet
Feet and Soaked Wool Feed
ing und Salting .
The sheep yard should be pro
tected on the windward sides by a
high board fence, by a building or
auything else that will break the
force of the cold, piercing winds.
Sheep can endure low temperature
better than cows or horses, but
heavy winds are Injurious to them.
Especially should they be protected
from the cold winter rains. Damp
ness causes colds, and is the reason
for other Ills to which sheep are
heir.
The yard must be well drained to
prevent foot rot. A heavy covering
of straw is of advantage. It permits
tin winter rains and the water from
melting snow to pass through and
leave the surface more dry. A
southern exposure should, whenever
possible, bu given the yard. The
sun's warmth will then dry out the
surface readily and keep It In a bet
ter sanitary condition.
Salt, every one knows, Is Impor
tant for sheep; yet some neglect tc
provide It regularly. Although 1
don't keep a large flock, 1 prefer to
have salt where the sheep can lick
It whenever they crave It. This 1
think much better than feeding It
several times a week as some do.
From the action of the animals when
salt is withheld for several days, 1
take It that it Is as necessary for
them for the perfect digestion and
assimilation of their food as It is for
human beings.
A trough under an open front
shed should be kept filled with salt
at all times. If one has not such a
shed, care must be taken that the
salt trouga Is not filled with Ice and
snow so the sheep cannot get the
salt.
Buying the Herd Header.
Many 111 be hunting for bulls
and boars pretty soon, that Is, the
men who are out after the best males
are the ones generally In the field
first. Some who need good bulls or
boars cannot attend public sales, so
an enormous trade has been built up
selling on mall order. There are
some points In mail order corre
spondence which both seller and
buyer will do well to observe. It
Is quite impossible to suit every
customer, but every statement in de
scribing an animal should be so plain
and true that there Is the minimum
chance for -ny misunderstanding.
Then, if the buyer will state precise
ly what he wants, giving the seller
some Idea of his line of breeding,
and will state precisely the points
he should have in his herd header,
nine times out of ton the seller will
fi." the bill exactly. But that Is not
the usual way It Is done. "What
have you for 515." is about the first
thing asked, when many start out to
buy a boar, by mail. I should let the
price be the last point talked about.
But I would throw the responsibil
ity upon tho teller to "make good"
after I bad described Just what 1
wanted. L. C. Brown.
Hogs Crave Wnter.
Hogs need clear water and plenty
of It. Tho amount of water they
naturally use Is very great. It has
been found that a pig fed corn meal
a- a principal diet used about 900
pounds of water to 100 pounds of
gain. A pig fed barley meal used 1,
600 pounds of water In making 100
pounds of gain on that diet. Many
pigs get little moisture outside ot
what they get in tho slop. They
should have separate drinking tank
or trough filled with water where
they can drink whenever they 30 de
sire. Even If they get an abundance
of slop they will drink much water.
Treatment for Worms.
The horse with a long-established
case of worms should be given a pur
gative before any tonic treatment Is
begun. Administer four drams of
aloes before breakfast or on an emp
ty stomach. Also give a warm ene
ma of four quarters of strong soap
suds. Follow this with a course ot
tonics. Sulphate of Iron, two
drachms; gentian, four drams, and
columbo, two drams; twice dally, for
a week or two. Give at the same
time sound, nourishing diet and
ger.tle regular exorcise.
Grain for Fattening Stock.
Dr. Llnfleld, ot the Montana sta
tion, found upon summarizing ex
periments that beef steers with clov
er hay as the rough teed made the
best gales upon mixed grains cruBh
ed. Barley was second, wheat third
and oats fourth. In all cases the
grain was crushed or ground.
The Head of the Bog Pen.
One farmer says that the poorer
the sows are the greater Is tho nec
essity for a good board. This is
true, A medium-quality boar bred
rn poor sows will not lift up the
average very fast. The bead ot the
herd Is the chief factor In the lm
provement of the herd.
To Feed Intelligently.
Intelligent feeding ot live stock
requires not only a knowledge of the
food constituents, but a knowledge
