The term of Burgess Williams would ' expire the first Monday of March, 1912, under the existing laws. Tbe amendments which have been written into the constitution by tbe ap proval of the people have for their main purpose tbe abolishing of the February election. The last February election will bi held In 1910. After that all district, ward, borough, city and county officers and district judges will be chosen on the Tuesday next following the first Monday of November in the odd num bered years. Judges of the supreme and superior court may be e'ected at the municipal election, if circumstances require. On the same day in November in the even numbered years, all state officers are to be elected, The first election under the amended constitution will be held in Novem ber, 1910. Then a governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of Internal affairs, 32 congressmen, 20 state senators and 207 members of the house of represen tatives will be elected. In tbe even numbered years the election will be known as the "general election" and In the odd-numbered years as the "mun icipal election." Special elections can be ordered where it Is necessary to fill an unexpired term of either a state, County or municipal officer.: In order to work out the scheme of biennial elections it was necessary to make the terms of all officials an even number of years.

From the Franklin .Et'enijicf News we clip tbe following facts and figures given that paper by F. H. Walker the engineer who was responsible for the mechanical work on the Franklin & Clearfield railroad: "Tbe Franklin & Clearfield railroad which has been under construction during tbe past four years, extends easterly from Franklin, Pa., for a dis tance of sixty miles, to Brookville, through Venango, Clarion and a por tion of Jefferson counties. This ter ritory is In tbe Allegheny Mountain region, and bence the construction is very heavy and difficult. The greater portion of the roadbed is graded double track, and over 6,000,000 cubic yards of grading have been required. There are fifty-five steel bridges, which re quired 15,000 tons of steel in their con struction. These bridges were all built of a capaoity about equal to Cooper's E 60 loading. The construction work required 162,000 yards of concrete and 15,000 yards of stone masonry. j "Tbe ninety-foot spanB, of which there are twenty-six, are very heavy, each girder weighing about thirty three tons. . These girders were all placed by tbe American Bridge Com pany with a thlrty-flve-ton derrick car. Tbe several large viaducts, the largest of which Is 1,200 feet long and 135 feet In greatest depth, were also erected by the Amerlan Bridge Company. These larger bridges are all double track structures. Tbe viaducts of no greater depth than about fifty feet were erected with the thlrty-flve-ton derrick car. Those of greater depth were erected by this same derrick car, with the assistance of a two-boom traveler." AN ODD ROMANCE COMES TO LIGHT. Couple Once Divorced Wed Again In Old Age. An odd romance Is revealed In the marriage license granted to Joseph Cook, aged 72 years, and Catherine Davis, aged 60, both of Brick churob. The couple were married once be' fore, on Feb. 20, 1858, by tbe late Rev. David Earhart, at the home of Simon Helfrlck, In Burrell township. They lived happily together, rearing a fam ny lor twelve years, wnen a separa tion occurred. In 1874 Mrs. Cook ob tained a divorce. She remained single, but the husband married Delia Smith, who died about a year ago. Recently Cook renewed his court ship with his former wife and they are now taking up life together where they dropped It nearly 40 years ago.- Punxsutawney Spirit. Won't Slight a Qood Friend.

Laziness Is not an uncommon or new oomplatnt, as every generation has had a certain percentage of lazy people, but It has only been receutly that the publlo has been Informed, through newspapers and magazines, that this lazy, Indolent, sluggish feeling Is caused by a tiny little worm which med ical science calls a hook worm. Re cently John D. Rockefeller contributed $1,000,000 to treat people of the south' land who are victims of the hook worm It is not'necessary to go out of lieyn oldsvllle to find lazy people, which would prove that the people of the southland don't have a monopoly on the hook worm. One of our doctors got a case which had the book worm symptoms and be treated the man for hook worms and succeeded in removing hundreds of tbe tiny hook worms from his system. Some of the hookworms have been preserved In alcohol. They are about t inch long and about as large around as No. 60 thread. .' f - , . Awful Mine Catastrophe.
