PHYSICIANS ORGANIZE. | Doctors ot Northern Cambria Effect an Or ganization Last Week, Patton and vicinity have agitated the question of an organization of a society to advance the interests of the profes- sion in particular and the publice in general, as has already been done in other places that are alive to public in- terests. Realizing that the public fails to get the best service from an unorganized profession, by reason of the fact that the individual physicians do not work in harmony with one another and are deprived of certain mutual inter- change of ideas necessary to their own advancement whereby they could prevent much suffering, the physicians society. educational. From such focus practi- cal medical knowledge is disseminated. The physician always has impressed upon him his responsibility to his patients and the patient is more fully taught his duty towards his physician and the great medical profession. Thus the public health is all the better con- served. Now that Patton is linked by trolley with so many other important towns in this section of the county, it may be expected that within the near future the Northerfi Cambria Physicians’ As- sociation will become a very vigorous and healthy organization, whose influ- ence will be far reaching and of great benefit. The following officers were chosen: Chairman, Dr. J. I. Van Wert; Vice Chairman, Dr. Wm. I. Dowler; Secre- tary, Dr. B. F. Shires; Treasurer, Dr. | V. A. Murray; Board of Censors, Dr. J. A. Murray, Dr. W. A. Blair and Dr. B. F. Shires. TRANSACTIONS IN REALTY. Properties In This End of the County That Changed Hands Recently.

Efforts to be Made to Enunct Beneficent Legislation for the People. It is predicted that the “no pass’ rule of the railroads will cost the railroads many millions of dollars in Pennsyl- vania before 1907. Retalifory meas urers are already being formed by leg- islators, and they can probably do enough damage to offset all the free passes the Pennsylvania Railroad com- pany has issued in a year. William T. Creasy, Democratic leader from Columbia county, has already re- ceived enough promises from Republi- can members throughout the state to insure the passage of his bill allowing trolley lines to carry freight. The Pennsylvania railroad has succeeded for 20 years in suppressing such a bill immediately after its introdnction. Such a law would cost the railroad about $2,000,000 annually. Representative Lawrence B. Cook, of Pittsburg proposes to introduce a bill that will make a misdemeanor to charge for more mileage than actually exists. The Pennsylvania has in the past 20 years shortened the route be- tween Pittsburg and New York by about 50 miles, but it still charges for the old distance. Bills are contemplated that would fix the responsibility for accidents and compel the railroads to provide more safety appliances. Bills to insure bet- ter sanitary arrangements in cars, to provide a seat for every passenger, and to change the laws that give the rail- roads such a great monopoly over the state are under consideration. A bill to fix the rate of mileage at two cents per mile flat will also be asked for. The law allows $20 per mile for the assemblymen during a session. Here- tofore the railroads gave the members annual passes and as many trip passes as they cared to use while the session was in progress. DEATH WARRANTS READ. Fellow and Hauser, the Condemned Mur- derers, Told Their Fate. Sheriff Samuel Lenhart, in his office at the county jail, Monday after- noon read the death warrant to Jacob Hauser and Stephen Fellows, the con- demned wife murderers, fixing Febru- ary 15th, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p.m. for their execution.

A NEW TROLLEY LINE May be Built From The County Seat to Car- rolitown to Connect With the Northern Cambria Road—Meeting of Directors of Grange Insurance Company, If all the trolley lines projected for Northern Cambria county are built, this section will be practically grid- ironed with street car tracks. The Northern Cambria road is nearing completion ‘around the horn” and traffic is expected to begin the first part of next month. The line from Altoona to Patton via the Buckhorn and Chest Springs, for which a charter has been granted, is confidently expected to be commenced this year and now it is said that several Ebensburg capitalists are about ready to make application to the state department for a charter cov- ering the route for a proposed street railway line from Ebensburg to Car- rolltown to connect with the lines of Northern Cambria Street railway. A number of years ago the right of way for a street railway was secured between Ebensburg and Carrolltown, but it is understood the company which secured the rights did not comply with certain provisions stipulated, and has since been obliged to forfeit its rights in this direction. It is believed that a line between the points mention- ed would be a paying project. The lines of the Northern Cambria concern practically connect all of the important towns in the north of the county, and all that wonld be necessary on the part of the new company would be to con- struct the line and establish a terminal near some point where it could conven- iently connect with the traffic to be se- cured from the other northern towns through the medium of the Northern Cambria Street Railway company.
