Germs OF Death in Hides.

Dc BoIs, Pa. August Zone of the
most remarkable imported epidemics of
disease in the annals of the Pennsylvania
Board of Health, which body is under
stood to be investigating as to its causes,
has compelled the shutting down of the
tannery at Falls Creek, two miles from
Du Bois. Four of the employees at the
tannery, who have handled hides from
China, have died of this strange malsdy
within the last few days. and several
others are reported 10 be critically i'll,
while a score or more of cattle have died,
evidently of the same disease.
Investigation has revealed the fact that
some time ago the tannery company re-
ceived the first invoice OF 10000 hides,
imported from China. The hides were
started through the process of tanning
and the liquors drained into the creek.
Not long afterwards several head OF
cattle, running at large, and drinking
from this creek died, and to this date a
score have gone to the bone-yard. Ii
was clearly established that all the sick
and dead cattle had drank water from the
contaminated stream.
When, therefore, some of the tannery
employees were also subsequently taken
sick, with symptoms resembling those
that carried Off the cattle, there was great
alarm at Falls Creek This feeling of ap.
prehension was intensified when four oi
the tanners died.
Investigation revealed the fact that the
hides were infected with anthrax bacte.
ria. Only one mau who has been afflicted
has recovered.
Anthrax is a malady most deadly in
its effect upon man or beast, and when
human beings are attacked by it they
know that unless they can overcome il.
virulent germs in from five to eight day,
they must die. Falls Creek settlement
is consequently very much alarmed les
the infection should continue to spread
and deal out death TO the inhabitants
The matter has been kept as secret Al
possible. but it is understood that it ha,
been referred to the State Board o
Health and that an investigation is al
ready afOOt

Tough Steak Led to Crime.

New YORK, August l4.-Gustav John
son, carpenter, forty-five years old,
was held to-day without bail to await the
result of his wife's injuries. Late last
night he quarreled with his wife, and
broke large platter on her head, infiict-
ing scalp wound. Johnson admitted
that he had assaulted his wife, but de-
clared that he was justified.

American Mail to Klondike.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August H.
wherever man can go, his mail can
follow him." seems 10 be the motto of the
United States Post Office Department,
and in living up TO it, regular letter
carrier service has already been started
over the Chilkoot Pass TO the Yukon gold
field, sO0-mile journey.
A contract has been entered into call
ing for a regular monthly service all the
yeIr round, for which 500 a month Ia
trip is to be paid. A carrier started
simultaneously from juneau and from
Circle City about July Is. bearing the
mail. There are five hardy fellows in
the enterprise. The winter trips will be
made with the aid of dog trains attached
to sledges. From the summit to Circle
City there is a trackless reach of snow
and ice for over eight hundred miles. 1t
is easy to miss the trail, and steering
must largely be done by the compass or
by the stars.

Money for the Farmers.

NEW YORK, August l4.-The Sunday
World tomorrow will print estimates,
made exclusively for the newspaper by
experts of the Agricultural Department
in Washington, of the amount of money
which has been or will be soon distribut-
ed among the farmers as the result of ad-
vanced prices for this seasons crops as
compared with those of last year.
The figure is placed at $500, ,OO0,OO and,
while this seems enormous and is difficult
TO fully comprehend, shrewd experts,
whose business it is to know all about the
crops of the world, say the figures are too
low. They unhesitatingly place the sum
at 500, ,00O, 600. and others more optimistic
go further TO assert that the amount will
fall not far short of 81, 90. .00O, GOO
All authorities agree that this is great
year for the American farmer. The latest
Government crop bulletins, from which
the Worlds estimates are made up by the
Agricultural Department, are invaribly
understated. They are always conserva-
tive, and il is more than likely that the
experts of Wall street and the Produce
Exchange are nearer right in pla cling the
total at 500 0OoGOO0.

Is Life Worth Livingi

If there is an individual on earth whn
is excusable for thus interrogating him.
felf, it is the unhappy mortal who suffers
from malaria in some one of its diaboli-
cal forms. This is no difficult conun-
drum, however. Life is worth living by
any man or woman who enjoys good
health, and is not harrsssed by re-
proachful conscience. The malarial
scourge, heavily laid on, is terrible one
for the poor sufferer TO endure. A series
of freezings, scorchings and sweats-the
last leaving one as limp and as strength
less as a dish rag, are hard indeed, re-
curing as they do with fiendish regular
ity. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
worldwide known preventive and cura-
tive of this class of maladies, either in
the form of ague and fever, bilious remit
tent, dumb ague and ague cake. Used
with persistence they will, rely upon it,
eradicate disease from the system. They
also conquer rheumatism, kidney and
bladder complaints, nervousness, dys-
pepsia, liver complaint and cons tipation
and renew falling strength.

Chikenozit Club Disbands.

Slumbering away in the archives of the
now may some time be resurrected the
record of the ''Chikenozit Club" the or
ganization which was chartered in the
spring of 1872 by number of Connells-
vile young men for summer enjoyment
in the mountains. The last act of the
club was the surrender of its charter,
which was done few days ago and the
club took its place among the things that
were and are not.
Since the organization of the club it
was the means of much enjoyment. Ten
acres of ground were purchased in Turk
eyfoot township, Somerset county, part of
the land lying just over the Pinkerton
tunnel. This ground was wild, but en-
ticing, and several paths wound round
spots that are not equaled for mountain
scenery in this part of the State. For two
years after the organization of the club
the twenty men kept up their interest in
it. A club house was built, which was
called 'ChikenoZit Utena," meaning in
English Turkeyfoot Lodge. This house
was kept in order for the reception OF
guests by Frank Anderson and his fam
lily, and many an outing was enjoyed
| there.
But interest Jagged after the first two
years, until only two or three members
contributed tO the maintenance fund. a
short time ago the club confessed judg-
meut amounting TO about 81 300 in favor
of J. l.. Kendall. The effects Of the clut
were sold by the Sheriff of Somerset
county last week, the charter was sur.
rendered and the mountain resort passed

Kept Captive by His Tribe.

CHICAGO, Aug. l2,-David Mcfarland,
halfback of the famous Carlisle Indian
foot ball team, told a strange story Tues
day night before leaving this city for
Carlisle, Pa. The athletic young redskin
declares that for FIVE days he was held
prisoner in Idaho by the Nezperces, "a
which tribe he belongs, and made his es-
cape by merest chance
His father is chief of the tribe, but be
is growing old. Young Mcfarland is the
popular choice Of the members of the
once famous tribe, and they want him 10
become their chief
Therefore when he paid his annual
visit TO his tribesmen he was importuned
to stay away from school and take his
fathers place. He refused, a. powwow
followed and then he was thrust into q
small wooden bnilding and kept pris-
oner five days.
While his guards were asleep he escap-
ed, was followed As far as Kansas City,
where he gave his pursuers the slip. He
declared that he will not return TO Idaho
before he has graduated.

BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS.
sheriffs Posse Exchange Shots With the
Hstfelds.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, Aug. l5-Capt.
Hatfield, the notorious despersdo. whose
hands are said 10 be red with the blood of
many men. is still defying the law, and
has successfully eluded the officers who
have pursued him since his escape from
jail at Williamson, several weeks since.
Sheriff Keable and Detective J. ii. Bald
win, who were heading posse OF almost
80 men, spied Hatfield and his party on
Beech creek yesterday afternoon, and the
reports which have reached this city re-
garding the occurrence have been very
conflicting. However, it is known that a
fierce fight took place and about 20 10 90
shots were fired by the authorities and
Hatfield's men.
The shooting was near large rock
cliff known as Devils Backbone, and Hat
fields men retreated TO these rocks, and
it would have been disastrous for the off,
GERS to have closed in on them. John
Koonts and Jacob France, two of Sheriff
Keable's men, are said 20 have been dan
gerously wounded, and it is known that
some OF the Hatfield following were hurt
during the struggle. II is belived that
Hatfield and his men left Devils Back
bone under cover of darkness and are re-
treating toward the interior.
Sheriff Keable and Detective Baldwin
will continue the chase, and law-abiding
citizens are being added to their ranks
daily, who will assist them in eifeeting
Hstfield's capture. Toler and Elias
brothers of Capt. Hatfield, are known Il
be with him, and they are each fine rifle
shots and are as firm in fight as theil
brother. Ii now looks as though it might
be days, probably weeks, before a capture
is effected, and then probably at grea
loss of life. Hatfield is said to have a
least 20 men with him, most of them be
ing relatives. Great excitement prevail:
throughout Mingo county, and the out
come is eagerly awaited.

Vacant chaplainey in tn. Army.

WASHINGTON, August l5.-Three hum
dred ministers in the country have been
attracted by vacancy existing in the
grade of chaplain in the army and have
applied for the appointment The place
carries with it fair pay, the rank of cap
tain, an no very hard duties Chaplatns
have to buy no expensive uniforms and
usually get desirable stations.
Some of them gave the authorities
trouble, however, and there are number
of instances of courts martial of this class
for various offences against the army reg
ulstions. Secretary Alger believes that
there should be some age limit for the
on 3s years as fair one. None of the
candidates, therefor, older than y can
hope 10 be selected. Previously no atten-
tion has been paid to this point.
The chsplains in the army are not AS a
rule the healthiest set of commissioned
fact that no physical examinations for
appointment have been required. Not
long ago a chaplain was appointed and
confirmed, and when ordered To duty it
was discovered that he was a paralytic
Chaplains are admitted to be necessary
TO the army, but the authorities are weary
of having in the service number of men
frequently not physically capable of per-
forming their duties Secretary Alger
will probably provide that the man he
selects shall undergo physical examina-
ton before being appointed.

AT the recent session of Congress
Mr.. Gray, by request, introduced in
the Senate bill TO grant pensions to
every soldier, sailor or marine who
served ninety days or more in the late
war and TO the widows and minor chill
dren Of such. Under the provisions of
the bill all hOnorably discharged men
are to receive monthly a cent a day for
every day Of service, but none TO re-
eeive less than eight dollars a month:
all soldiers widows are TO receive
twelve dollars per month, and minor
children Of deceased soldiers are to re-
oeive two dollars per month. Should
this act pass il will do a great deal of
good for worthy and deserving
people. Many an old soldier is strug-
CLING along now with hardly enough
TO live on, and there is want in many a
home occupied by a soldiers widow
and orphans. In many cases the old
soldiers do not possess the necessary
proof that they were disabled in the
service, and this bill will help them
out, Tor 1t Is only necessary for them to
show their honorable discharge 10 get
the pension that they richly deserve.
There are also many widows and or
phans who have long been in want,
but who will now see the wolf driven
from the door forever IL is a good
oill to pass, for Congress can not do too
much for the old soldier and those of
his family who survive him.
