Democratic County Convention?" .,
The Jefferson county convention of
the Democratic party was bejd in
Brookvllle Monday afternoon and was
In the main a harmonious affair. An
effort was made to pass a resolution
calling for tbe appointment of a com
mittee to revise the rules of the oounty
organization, the object In view being
to allow tbe nomination of two candi
dates for county commissioner, as It
was previous to the contest between
McGaw and Woods five years ago.
The resolution was tabled however.
There Is i poaslbllty of action along
this same line being taken later. The
convention elected Lawyer W, M.
Falrman, of Punxsutawneyn county
chairman for the coming year, and
selected tbe new chairman and David
Neale to represent the county In the
Democratic state convention which will
be bold In Allentown to-day. While
they go unlnstructed, both wjll support
Berry forgovernor. The Reynoldsvllle
delogates attending the convention at
Brookvllle were Harvey S. JDeter and
Isaac Swartz and from West Reynolds
vllle, Wm. P. Woodrlng.

Scientist's Defense of Flies. '
By request we reprint an article be
low, written by a prominent DuBoIs
man and appearing In the North Ameri
can, not because we approye. but just
as a sample of the damphoollshbess that
sometimes will crop out In an apparent
ly sane and Intelligent man:
Of late much has been said about the
common housefly, distributer of disease
germs.
' In your Interesting editorial of June
4, under tbe captlou. "Poisoners In
Every Home," you iju w Sterne as
culling inn 11 "liuV hi-' .her ' (which
lie ruttlly la) From rin childhood I
bave been taught, and believed that In
tbe economy of nature all living things
were oreated for a wise purpose; and, In
particular, that the housefly was a
natural scavenger, by foedlng on filth,
and In desposltlng Its eggs In It as well
as on Carcasses, which hatch into
maggots and wbtch are thus devoured,
thereby preventing the pollution of tbe
air with pestilential emanation.
Were . it not for . the. fiy these
(qarcasses) would rapidly decompose In
the bot summer sun, breeding sickness
and disease by .polluting the atmosphere
with deadly poison, as above indicated.
Witness cholera in India, which
trnrels in the air, caused by decaying
filth and dead animals, hastened by the
tropical heat. ' , ' ' s
Ills admitted that the fly may and
does carry germs, but tho danger In
that direction is probably not one
bundreth part of tbe pollution of tbe
air, which we must , breathe without
tbe "little brother" the fly, performing
its nature-allotted task.
This letter is not written to create a
controversy, but simply to show how
often (scientific topics are treated In an
unsolontlfia manner. Are there others
who can corroborate, this view?

Two Boys Are Bitten and
; One Dog Went Mad ,
V , Last Week.
. Lee Love, seven-year old son ol
Squire Perry B. Love, of Jaokson street,
was bitten In the the thigh by a dog
Friday evening. Tbe dog was muzzled
at the time and not supposed to be mad.
Tbe wound was cauterized and it Is not
likely that other treatment will be re
required. Saturday evening Frank Parrlsb, eon
of Robert Z. Parrish, of Fifth street,
was attacked by two dogs and received
an ugly bite in the oalf of one leg. Tbe
wound was dressed and is healing with
out dangerous symptoms. One of the
dogs was muzzled and one was not, but
the appearance of the wound indicates
that the muzzled animal did the biting.
Both canines will be shot.
Thursday evening a dog belonging to
Samuel Flick, of Snydertown, showed
symptoms of hydrophobia and was
promptly shot before It bad a chance to
bite anyone.
