how to Remove a fishhook.

The angling season being well on,
the usual number of mishaps will occur
with the fshhook. When this accl-
dent happens the hook, If not too
deeply imbedded in the flesh, may
generally be removed without surgical
aid. If the hook is fastened in the
hand cut the line from the hook, turn
the point upward and push it through
as needle would be in sewing. If
the hook has broad end or eyes nip
this off before attempting to remove
it. Do not try to draw the hook out
backward, as the barb will lacerate
and inhame the flesh.

HURLED TO HIS DEATH,
Thomas Evans Contractor For The
Stone Work Of The New Methodist
Church Is Thrown From a Scaf-
fold And Killed.

Thomas Evans of Danville who
had the contract for the stone work
of the new Methodist Church was last
Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock
thrown from scaffold distance Of
about thirty feet from the ground and
sustained injuries from the result Of
which he died short time afterward.
The stone which are used in the
building of the walls are drawn up by
means Of lifting apparatus and Mr.
Evans had gone on the scaffold to
arrange a guy line which in some
manner had become misplaced. He
caught hold of the rope and the
strain on it caused it to suddenly
lurch upward and outward throwing
him to the ground. Willing hands
Immediately picked him up and
carried him to his boarding house on
the opposite side of the street. Dn.
Brown and Reber were Immediately
summoned and it was discovered that
his left leg was broken at the ankle,
ahu ihS iiBht ioOt dt Tic lnStGp. III
addition to this he had sustained
serious internal injuries. The ply
sicians Immediately set to work, and
it was found that the bones in his
instep had been crushed fine and it
was necessary to remove them in
pieces.
While the doctors were at work
il was noticed that he was growing
weaker and he finally expired. He
was aged about sixty-two years, and
leaves to survive him three sons and
three daughters who have the SYM
pathy of the community in their
peculiarly sad bereavement. Mr..
Evans was contractor Of extensive
experience had done considerable
work in this section, among which
was the tower on the Episcopal
Church, and by his kindness had
endeared himself to all his employees
His body was removed to his home

Police and Bicycles.

Some time since the Town Council
passed an ordinance requiring all BIZ
cycle riders to have a bell on their
wheels. Comparatively little atten-
ton was paid to the ordinance and
the Council determined that the law
should be enforced, and consequently
instructed the policemen last Saturday
to arrest any one found riding a BIZ
cycle without a bell. Several persons
were arrested and fined. 1t is the
intention Of the authorities to enforce
the ordinance, and our wheelmen
should govern themselves accordingly.

last Thursday evening with President
Holmes and members Rawlings,
kocher, Brobst and Kunkle present.
The Town enginee was upon motion
authorized to purchase a car load Of
sewer pipe.
The question of the payment of
taxes was discussed, and upon motion
the time for the payment of the same
was extended thirty days from the
aoth of August.
Upon motion the secretary was
instructed to draw an order in favor
ofthe d. l.. and w. railroad company
for $3.a5 freight on spalls.
The attention of the Council was
called to several nuisances which were
being maintained in the town, and
requested to take the necessary steps
to abate the same. The following
were complained of. The water closet
on the premises occupied by Miss
Phillips on Market street; the pig
pen of Charles Lee on Iron Street /;
the COW stable of Charles Nuss on
Eighth Street, and the water closet
on the property of J. d. Shaffer at
the corner of Seventh and Catharine

was directed to notify the above
named parties to abate said nuisances
at once, and upon failure to do so,
the Town would act in the matter at
the costs Of the parties.
The Council was requested to put
in sewer on North Street, and upon
motion the Street Commissioner was
directed to lay it as far as the house
of J. H. Maize.
w. A. Evert Esq, asked for a
building permit to erect frame house
on East Third street, which was
granted.
The condition of the pavement in
front of the residence of J. S. Wilson,
on Market Street was complained of,
and the Street Commissioner was di-
rected to notify HIM to raise his pave
ment to grade. He was also instruct
ed to notify the owners of the Sanitar-
ium property to Immediately put their
pavement in proper condition, or the
work would be done by the Town
and twenty per cent added to the
cost thereof.
T. ]. Vanderslice appeared before
the Council and stated that the view
ers on the opening of Jefferson Street
had awarded him $3.50 damage, but
as he considered the amount toe
small he had taken an appeal to the
Court. He considered that he had
been damaged to the extent of $40.
90 but as he did not desire litigation
he was willing to settle upon the same
basis as the Brugler claim was settled.
The matter was referred to the com
mittee on finance.
Joseph Bidleman, on behalf of ]
R. Schuyler appeared and claimed
$2I.55 damage by reason of the gutter
on Iron Street becoming stopped up
and the water running into the cellar

Bad roads are due partly to lack of
judgment on the part of road over
seers. 1t is responsible position,
and the farmer is more interested in
the proper qualifications of such an
official than in any other, for upon the
condition of the roads largely depends
the profit from farming. Transporta-
ton of farm products over country
roads is an enormous annual expense,
and much greater than the amount
paid as taxes on state and county.

A NEW INDEPENDENCE.

1t is exceedingly bad taste, not to
say presumptive, to charge the
south with being ungrateful be-
cause the people see fit to dissent
with the financial principles OF Wall
street. The people have paid
usurious tribute to the money
changers and spectators of the
east, and as a result the agricul-
turalists have been saddled with
hundred of millions of debt, not to
speak of the financial distress, inn
meuse shrinkage in prices, causing
untold losses, and business depres-
sion and commercial stagnation.
The southern people have pald to
New York and other money centers
OF the east full interest for the
money invested here. The policy of
borrowing by paying tribute to the
gold spectators, has proven ruinous,
and the agriculturists-both of the
south and west-demand measure
of commercial and financial in
dependence, and hence support BIZ
metallism, under which they became
prosperous and wealthy. There is
nothing unnatural nor yet ungrate-
full IN the south working for its own
prosperity rather than to build up
the millionairs interests of Wall
and Lombard streets.-Shreveport

Stomach Bitters is the most relia-
BILE and widely esteemed medicine
of its class. 1t removes the cause
constipation, or of undue relaxa-
tion of the intestines, which are
usually indigestion or a instruction
of the bile. When it acts as a ca
thartic it does not grippe and vio-
lently evacuate, but produces grad
ual and natural effects, very unlike
those of a drastic purgatlve, and
its power of assisting digestion
nullities those irritating conditions
of the mucous membrane of the
stomach and intestinal canal which
produce first diarrhea, and event.
ually dysentery. The medicine is,
moreover, an agreeable one, emf
nently pure and wholesome. Appe-
