Made 1t In a Day. *
About so pigeons. belonging to one Of
the New Egypt. N. J., clubs. were re-
leased at Yorkville last Saturday morn
ing by Mr.. H. H. Beard. express agent
at Yorkville. On Monday Mr.. Beard
received the following card from Mr..
D. w. Boussoun, Of the club. 1t was
dated New Egypt, July 6. 7.15 p. m:
"Only two birds arrived home today.
the first at o'clock. minutes and 36
seconds. p. M. and the second at 6-32-
IA. They had a hard fly Of 1t. The
weather here this morning was hot. the

There was light west wind this after
noon. accompanied by thunder showers.

rain storm"
A Prolific Source Of Glanders.
Speaking Of glanders the other day.
DR.. Nesom said that the most prolific
source Of the dissemination Of the dis
ease in this country Is the United
States army. "Unscrupulous horse
Dealers" he remarked, have little hes
itation about unloading diseased horses
on the army, and as 1t has not been the
policy Of the government to employ
really competent veterinary surgeons,
large numbers Of horses are frequently
exposed to the infection before its pres
ence Is detected. There were several
outbreaks among army horses during
the Spanish war; but. thanks to the
conditions that had brought all classes
Of intelligent men into the army, these
outbreaks were discovered before they
had time to make much headway and
were stamped out in their incipiency
by the slaughter Of all the diseased an
imals along with all that had been In
contact with them. But of course the
disease was not entirely eradicated and
at the close Of the war many glandered
horses were sold a. auction"

There is no store in York county that
carries as large stock Of Millinery,
Clothing, Shoes, Dress Goods, Hats,
Dress Trimmings, Groceries, etc., that
has as little expense as we do. And
this fact means much to the buyer Of

pense the smaller the per centage of
profit. This means that it is here that
you will find all kinds Of goods in our
line at less price than you can get the
same qualities and varieties elsewhere.

larger markets. Try us for what you

backache and the hundred or more little
ills with which we are attacked SO fire.

which lay between him and his home.
