PARAGRAPHS GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE REGION. SynopxlH of Local and MlHcellaneoun Oc currences Tliat Can He Read Quickly. What the Folks of This and Other Towns are Doing. John M. Carr, Esq., is favorably men tioned throughout the county as the Republican candidate for district attor ney. Foster township auditors will meet on March 8 at Mrs. Krouse's hotel, South Ileberton, to audit the accounts of the officials of the township.

The county commissioners have decid ed to increase the county tax from six to eight mills and to bond the coumy in 4 percent bonds to the amount of $90,- 000, to be redeemed by tho sinking fund at the rate of SIO,OOO annually, after the second year. Tho Diamond Jack Concert Company began a two week's stay hero on Mon day evening. Shows are given nightly at the Grand, and various kinds of medicine aro disposed of. Twenty-two people, including several Indians, are in the company. Services aro held nightly at St. Paul's P. M. church at 7 o'clock by Rev. T. Weightman, of Allentown.

Ten-inch pipes will bo laid and connections made with the present reservoir feeder and several branch mains. Over forty tons of pipe will be used in making this improvement. Freeland People Attacked. A series of attacks upon the manage ment of the Grand opera house have ap peared this week in the Hazleton Senti nel. It is alleged that the audiences show partiality in applauding people at tho Sunday evening entertainments and act generally in a disorderly man ner, also that the house is controlled by incompetent men, and that profanity and boisterous conduct are characteristic of those who attend performances. The articles are deliberate libels, inspired by certain persons who are interested in the Hazleton opera.house. This, with the refusal of the Freeland management to bo coerced into advertising in a black mailing sheet, is tho secret of tho attack. No serious results, however, will ensue from the publication of these falsehoods, I as the paper has no standing on tho North vSide. The Cost of an Election. The cost of an election is an important expense item in the county's affairs. Tho bills for election officers alone was approximately SB,OOO. The incidentals such as advertising, printing ballots and ! registration will make the total about $15,000. To meet this expense and other current expense the commissioners bor- i rowed that amount to tide the county over the time between now and when the license money begins to come in. Arrented for Sunday'* Shooting. Thomas Markin, of Milnesvilie, was arrested on Monday, charged with shooting Mike Kishuck, at Milnesvilie, on Sunday. Several witnesses were examined and swore positively that Markin was the man who done the shooting. Ho was committed to the county jail to await tho result of his victim's injuries.

Kennedy, of Ridge street, died at 9 o'clock last night after an illness of only a few days. Death was caused by pleurisy, and came very unexpected. The little girl was a bright and pretty child. She will bo buried tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at St. Ami's ceme tery. Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1897. Birthday of un OldJSoldier. Corporal Solomon Bittner quietly cele brated his sixty-seventh birthday at his homo in Jcddo on Monday. At the breaking out of the rebellion he was living in Franklin county, this state. In October, 1862, ho responded to the presi dent's call for more troops, enlisting in Company E, 158 th Infantry. During his absence in North Carolina scarlet fever swept over his home, taking with it his wifo and three children witiiin two weeks. At the end of one year he was honorably discharged, his term hav ing experied. Later he returned to the ranks, joining the 21st Pennsylvania Cavalry, with which he served until the close ©f the war as corporal in Company D. Mr. Bittner has a good record to his credit, and on the last day of the rebellion lie achieved a distinction of which he feels proud. On the day ot Lee's surrender lie was chosen color bearer of General Sheridan's escort, a position which was given him in recog nition of his valiant service. He won his title in the cavalry. The old soldier is a staunch friend of the late General Sheridan. He con siders "Little Phil" one of the greatest of modern conimauders. Shortly after the war Mr. Bittner re moved to Jeddo, where he has since resided. Entortalnmeiit Programme.

Another meeting of the coal operators, or their representatives, was held at the Central hotel Tuesday afternoon. It has been docided by them to assume the re sponsibility of fixing the roads in Ilazlc and Foster townships. The court has approved the petition and.instructed the supervisors to enter into an agreement. These agreements have all teen duly signed by the supervisors and the com panies will take charge of the roads, be ginning with March I. About the only tiling the supervisors-elect will have to do, is to collect their salaries, which is $250 per annum. The salary of the township clerk is iixed at SSO, and that of the auditors at $25 each. The com panies, while not able toappoximate the amount that will bo saved to the tax payers annually, nevertheless assert that it will not be less than $4,000. Juniors to I'lay at ftlieppton. The Junior Dramatic Company will appear at Kaicr's opera house, Shepp ton, on Saturday evening, March 6, in their latest success, "The Hidden Treasures." The boys recently pro duced the play here and went through it in creditable style. The company is managed by Master George Yannes and is complete to the smallest detail. The actors are Robert Bell, William Yannes, William Quigiey, Harry Debman, Leo McDonald and Misses Katie and Annie Yannes. The executive staff consists of George Yannes, manager; John lies, as sistant; Andrew Yannes, advance agent; Harry Brobst, musical director; John Beisel, stage carpenter. There is quite a lot of talent in the company and they are capable of giving a fair show. "Killaruey and the Rhine." From the St. Louis Star. J. E. Toole and Miss Lillian DeWoolf have a beautiful dialect melo-drama in "Killarney and the Rhino," as shown at shown at the Standard yesterday. It is acceptable in every way, and whether it be viewed as a medium for scenic embel lishment, as a story or an exposition of the talent of the stars, it is completely satislactory. Mr. Toole lias a correct notion oi German dialect comedy, and Miss DeWoolf is an Irish colleen after the Hibernian's own heart. Many sprightly songs and fetching dances em bellish the plot, all of which are given in a wtiolo-souled sort of way that suit I the trend of the bill. The company has I been selected with special reference to litness, and the result is a performance | that no spectator ever regrets having witnessed. Notice of Meeting;. All members of Local Assembly No. 335, Knights of Labor, are requested to attend a meeting on Saturday evening |at 7,30 o'clock. By order of tho I Master Wprkman, Badges Wliieh Must Not Be Worn. Grand Commander Darte, of the G. A. R., calls attention to the fact that quite frequently man aro found wearing the G. A. R. button without being entitled to do so; also to the fact that there is an act of assembly prohibiting tills misuse of the button. One man thus offending was asked why he woro the button and replied that lie bought it, paid for it, it was his and lie thought he had a right to wear it. This is not a right idea, however, and familiarity with the law on the subject may prevent its violation and prevent a good deal of trouble. The act of June, 1891. amending the act of March, 1889, by extending the lat ter to the Sons of Veterans, provides: "Any person who shall wilfully wear tho insignia or rosette of the military order of the Loyal Legion of tho United States, or the badge or button of the G. A. R., or the badge or shield of the Union Veteran Legion, or the badge or shield of the order of Sons of Veterans. United States of America, or use the same to obtain aid or assistance within this state, unless he shall be entitled to use or wear the same under the consti tution and by-laws, rules and regula tions of such organization, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon con viction shall be punished by a line not to exceed $100."

The Urgeft Herd of Cows Ever Known to lte A fllletetl with Tuberculosis WHS Destroyed Near Wllkeslinrre by Orders of tho State Hoard of Health. live car loads of cows arrived in tliis city Tuesday from Wysox, Bradford county. Pa., byway of the Lehigh Val ley Railroad, says the Wllkesbarro Newsdealer. There are 158 cows in all —lino, sleek, healthy-looking cattle. Yes, healthy "looking," but alas how their looks belie their real condition. They are "like unto those whitened sepulchres—fair without and foul with in." For tiiose are the same 150 cattle that were examined at Wysox last Fri day and Saturday by State Veterinarian Leonard Pearson, Dr. Harry Walters, of this city, and Dr. Swank, of Mauch Chunk. There were two herds examin ed, owned by Louis and J. C. Piollett, of Wysox, tlie former being the member of the state legislature from Bradford county. In tho two herds wero 108 cows and when the examination had been con cluded only twelve were found to bo un affected by the deadly tuberculosis. All tho rest—lso—proved to be in vari ous stages of the tubercular malady. In conversation with Dr. Walter tho doctor informed a reporter that tho herd con tained about as splendid a lot of animals, so far as looks go, as could bo seen any where. Nobody would imagine, not even a veterinarian, says the doctor, that they wore victims of tuberculosis. Doctor Walter says he never was more surpris ed at tho result of any examination of cattle than ho was at this. All the cat tle wore of the class known as Great Short Horns, sometimes spoken of as Durhams. Some time ago the Messrs. I'iollct ap plied to tho Hygiene Milk Company, of litis city, and offered to sell all their milk to that company. Dr. Walter told the Messrs. Piollet that before making any arrangements the cattle would have to bo Inspected. Ilenc# the examination and tho surprising result. The spread of tho disease among the herd was most alarming and it wouldn't have been long before every cow of the 108 would have been a victim of the dreadful malady. The diseased animals were taken to Sickler's Fertilizing Works, at Butz bach's handing, where their slaughter was begun in the afternoon, they having first been identilind by the Messrs. Piol let. This is tho largest herd in the world which tho law has ever ordered to bo slaughtered. It seems a pity to sub ject such a lot of line looking cattle to the slaughterer's bullet. But it Is, of couse, necessary, being the only means to prevent the spread of the diro tuber cular contagion, not only among cattle, but among human beings as well, who aro In daily peril or contracting eon sumption and other lung diseases from the microbe-tainted milk. By many tho question is asked: "Do the owners of the affected cattle have to suffer their loss without receiving any compensation for such loss?" The state appraises tho value of the cattle and inukes good their loss to tho owners. Dr. Waller will direct tho post-mortem examination of tho cattle. The doctor informed tho reporter that an accurate report of every organ In eacli and ovory cow must be made. Catarrh Cannot ho Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the scat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts direct ly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of tlie best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such wonder ful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J. CH ENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O.
