RAINY WEATHER

Pneumonia and Consumption.

The recent rain has been an event of
much importance throughout our com
munity and the entire population mas
been affected in one way or another. by
far the largest majority has been great
ly benefited, for future crops of all kinds
are put in promising condition, and the
soil is now in condition to permit OF
preparation for the next annual plant

will get good start, while orchards and
fruits of every description are given an
excellent promise Of large returns next
year. With the general awakening of
good feeling and higher prices Tor farm
products, farmers and dealers generally
are jubilant and consumers cannot but
share in the general prosperity.
But wet weather, while it is thus

"cold," and the diseased conditions will
be still further increased, thus driving
q few more nails into the coffin being
prepared for the person already uncon-
sciously affected with tuberculosis, as
we'll as of those who are consciously so
affected
The manner of taking cold" is well
known to everybody. Wet feet, wet
clothing, insufficient clothing, lnsu1nc-
lent artificial heat in the damp houses,
sitting i'll cool drafts, and many other
unnoticed methods. AS result one con-
tracts only "cold," more or less severe,
another la grippe, another bronchitis,
another catarrh another pneumonia,
etc, but in all the result is liable to be
the same. The air passages are inf1amed
and irritated and coughing begins, the
lining membranes of the air passages
become abraded, and then the
tubercle bacilli, which are near
ly everywhere present in the at
mosphere, are taken into the lungs
when breathing, become located on the
abraded surfaces and thus enter the lung
tissue, which they have no power to dc
when the lining membranes remain in
tact and are healthy.
From this focus or starting point a tu-
berculosis is begun which will develop
more or less rapidly according to the
condition of the blood of the person, and
may become a case of quick consumption
or a case of lingering consumption.
La grippe is a germ disease, and is one
of the worst of the bronchial diseases
and has the worst after effects. 1t be-
gins with feeling of lassitude and gen.
eral discomfort and is followed by chills
and then by fever. The nose and throat
become infamed, cough begins, sore
throat, headache especially in the front
part, pains in the limbs. extreme weak
ness and depression of spirits follow.
The acute symptoms last but few days
then the other symptoms begin and con-
tinue for weeks or months, and in the
meantime tuberculosis develops.
Any ordinary "cold" is but simple

membranes, thus enabling the germs of
tuberculosis to locate. Bronchitis IS

full. with breathing rapid and wheeling,
and with skin dry and feverish.
Catarrh is the most common OF all dls-
eases of the air passages and begins
usually in the nose and extends down
into the throat and larnyx and then into
the bronchial tubes, and by its inf1am-
matory and congestive processes rem
ders the person affected liable to tuber-
culosis. 1t is liable also to acute attacks
and to increase at each spell Of wet or
damp and cold weather.
Pneumonia or lung fever Is an in
f1ammation Of the lung tissue. due also
to germs, and resulting from exposure
to cold, wet weather usually, and is very
liable to leave the lungs in such condi-
ton that tuberculosis at once begins.
Consumption or tuberculosis then may
be the result of any one of these primary
diseases of the air passages and lungs,
and 1t is thus easy to see how many cases
Of consumption are likely to be directly
or indirectly the result Of the recent spell
Of damp, rainy weather.
Fortunately a cure exists, and all per-
sons, either already affected with tuber-
culosis or having contracted any lung or
bronchial disease whereby possible tu-
berculoSis may result, should lose no
time in consulting the lung specialists
at the Koch Medical Institute, either to
get rid of the present acute form of a
! minor disease and thereby prevent an
attack of tuberculosis. or if the latter be

Fire was discovered about o'clock on
Tuesday evening on the roof of the feed
mill owned by the Freeand Mercantile
Company, Limited. The alarm was
sounded and the fire apparatus was on
the scene in short while. The blaze
was just beginning to make headway
when the firemen succeeded in turning
on a stream of water, and in few
minutes the fire was extinguished. The
loss is small. The origin is not known.
The firemen complain that they were
retarded in their work by the crowd
that had gathered. Quite number of
people unthinkingly stood on the hose
and one length was burst through their
action. Not until the water was turned
on the crowd did the iremen have a
chance to work.

Martin Oliyette, aged 40 years, in
company with two other men left the
Gibcrton colliery, near Ashland, on Tues
day night after completing their work for
the day and started over the hill towards
their home at Turkey Run. While pass
ing along narrow patch, Olivette, in the
lead, the earth suddenly gave way and
Olivctte disappeared from view.
His companions, noticing it, jumped
back. They heard the rush of the earth
and the clatter of stones and creeping
to the edge Of the breach they were
Mortified to find that the opening was
almost perpendicular, and about 100 feet
deep. They shouted but got no reply.
Then they FASTENED to village near by,
where they informed the residents what
had occurred, and large crowd soon
congregated with lanterns and mining
lamps.
A stout rope was secured from one If
the collieries, which was thrown over a
limb of tree and u young man named
Mendoff was lowered to the bottom OF
the breech where he found Oivette
alive but badly injured. He was raised
to the surface and taken to the miners

In court on Tuesday the case of Joseph
Serricks against Foster township was
placed on trial. Attorney Lynch repre-
sented the plaintiff, and Attorneys
Stroh, Fuller and McClintock represent
ed the township. The plaintiff was su-
pervsor of the township in 1891 and en-
ployed his two sons and his horse in re-
pairing the roads and also charged his
own salary at So day. The township
auditors who audited the account refus-
ed to allow the claim Of the plaintiffs
sons for wages, and would not allow the
supervisor So day. The plaintiff
brought suit to recover the money,
which amounted to $7s1, but the court
held that the supervisor was wrong, and
ordered the jury to find for the defen-
dant.
The similar case of Thomas Early
against the township of Foster was de-
cided in like manner, the jury finding
against the plaintiff in the sum Of
$7O4. 33.

of Messrs. Bresln, Meehan, Zemany
and Shigo. accompanied by Solicitor j.
M. Carr, and Messrs. II. C. Koons, j. c.
Berner, Hugh Malloy and Thomas Birk-
beck, representing the Board of Trade,
made tour on Tuesday over the terri
tory proposed to be annexed to the bor-
ough on the north side. While the COM
mittee representing the Board of Trade
had no definite plan in view nor any
suggestions to offer as to how much of
the territory should be annexed, and the
committee of council not having any in
structions, nothing was done beyond
viewing the ground.
The committees started from the
northeast corner of the Public park
near the water works, and followed the
boundaries of the Edward Lynch and
Andrew Kennedy tracts of land north
to the George Heberton tract, near to
the land of the Upper Lehigh Coal Com
pany, thence westward to the boundary
of Butler township, thence south along
oho u hcb W but WtSttTH
limit of the borough
This would embrace all of what Is
known as South Heberton, with the ex-
ception of Alvinton.

ing Immediately after their return, and
issued call for special meeting of
council to be held tonight, when action
upon the report of the two committees
will be taken.
The annexation of the above territory,
together with Fern street on the west
side of the borough, would give ample
room for all industries that might de-
sire to locate in town for many years to

to 50, 400, and the Citizens bank, which
has one for 81 500. The assets are esti-
mated at from $50, 900 to $4,000.
One of the sensations in the case was
the hanging in effigy on Monday of the
bankrupt merchant and private banker.
The fignre, which was stuffed with straw,
was hung by the neck from an arm of a
telegraph pole in front of his store. 1t
was hung some time after midnight and
remained in place until about o'clock
in the morning, when a couple of Mac
Knights friends got a ladder and pulled
it down.
Judgments have been entered against
James J. Howlcy on several accounts
amounting to So, 101. This is direct
result of MacKnight's failure. Howley
vas formerly a tax collector in Plains
and he paid over to MacKnight at vari-
ous times sum amounting to S2,70O to
