That the drltted roads form quite an
obstacle to travel was demonstrated
yesterday by the experience of William
Gething, of Frosty Valley, who un-
dertook to drive into town before day
light.
He had scarcely proceeded a mile
before his horse became fast i'll a snow
drift. In houndering about he sue
ceeded in stripping the harness from
his body.
Mr. Gething caught his horse but a
moment later as he turned to pull the
sleigh out of the snow the animal dis
covering that he was free took to his
heels and ran all the way home, Mr.
Gething following on foot.
Half an hour later man and horse
were again on their way to town, Il
new set of harness taking the place of
the old which were completely ruined.

SMALLPOX
At CAMERON

There il case of smallpox Mt Cam
eron, about five miles below Danyille
and to make the matter worse the dis
ease exists in the postmaster's family y,
in the very building in which the post
office is kept.
The disease was not diagnosed as
smallpox until yesterday afternoon.
The patient is Mrs. Clayton Hassing-
er, of Tamaqua, daughterin-law of
Samuel Hassinger, the Cameron post
master. The unfortunate woman is
but twenty two years of age. Her hus-
band is a railroader running between
Tamaqua and Philadelphia. Mrs.
Hassinger arrived at Cameron quite
recently for the purpose Of spending
few weeks with her husband S parents.
The woman was taken i'll during the
latter part of last week. Dr.. II. W.
Burg of Northumberland was called,
but did not suspect smallpox until lat
er. Yesterday ne called up DR.. ]. r.
Kimerer of this place and asked him
to meet him at Cameron for the pur-
pose of holding consultation. DR..
Kimerer complied and the result was
that all doubt was removed and the
disease was diagnosed as semi-contlu
ent smallpox
The effect produced on the quiet
farming community by the discovery
that il had bad case of smallpox III
its midst can easily be imagined. The
case exists III Point township, North
cumberland county, where in common
with other farming communities there
is no organized board Of health. The
school board is supposed to assume
the function Of the health board and
to employ all approved precautions
when contagious diseases exist.
The worst feature in the present case
is the fact that the disease exists in
the same building with the post office.
The two physicians yesterday advised
the post master to hold the mail until
advised by the post office authorities
how to act After the consultation
the physicians drove to this city and
last evening held a conference with
Postmaster Harder relative to the
of mail, etc.
Whether the quarantine over the in
fected family shall be effective or other
wise will depend on the Point township |
but one thing that may be 1.
relied upon is the fact that no precau-
ton will be omitted by the post office |
department. and none need fear that
5he mail going out from Cameron will
be permitted to assist i'll the spread of |
5he disease

Discovered Just in Time.

Fire broke out i'll the residence of
Emanuel Young yesterday morning
and but for timely discovery it would
no doubt have destroyed the house and
imperilled the lives of the occupants.
1t was before daylight when the
house was found full of smoke and a
hole burned in the floor beside the
kitchen stove. The fire was eXtinguish-
ed without much difficulty, but few
minutes later the entire rear of the
house would have been cnveloped in

The fire Is supposed to have started

HOW TO SECURE
GOOD SIDEW ALKS

How best TO secure good sidewalks
is always and everywhere a puzZling
question for municipal authorities
That it is a most important one there
will be no gainsaying. Everybody
uses the walks to greater or less cX
tent. The people so comfortable fixed
as to be able to own carriages and au
tomobiles are few and far between.
Hence, good walks are appreciated
generally-even more than good roads,
since so many more people walk than
ride.
The laws regulating walks are some
what peculiar in that they lay the re-
sponsibility for their condition on
the municipaIity,yet compel the prop
erty owner to bear the expense. let
sidewalk get ont of repair and some
body, as a result, suffers injury, the
municipality is called upon to make
recompense for the damage. That is
a just provision, perhaps, since the
town authorities are given the power
and are required to compel property
owners to keep their walks in repair
Nevertheless the system, in practical
operation, results i'll no end of bad
walks, not infreQuent accidents and
endless friction between property own
crs and town officials when the latter
attempt to enforce the provisions of
the law.
Some more efficient plan with re
gard to walks is badly needed, and,
as step toward the practical solution
of the veXed question, the scheme ad-
opted by the authorities Of Palmyra,
n. J., is attracting attention. The
promoters of the scheme aIe working
along the excellent rule that it should
be the aim of the municipalities to
encourage and aid, as far as possible,
the laying Of good walks. rather than
to antagonize property owners, many
of whom find it somewhat of burden
to provide good walks, such as those
of fagstone or concrete. Palmvra's
plan is for the town to lay walks
wherever needed. Those already laid
under the plan are of concrete.
The work being done under con-
tract, the cost is reduced TO a min
imum. while the uniformity of the
walks adds materially to the neat APP
pearance of the streets. The expense |
of the improvement IS charged to the |
property owner in front of whose lot
the walk is laid, but the bill is paid
at once by the town, the property own
er being given ten years in which to |
reimburse the municipalities an annual |
payment of ten per cent being re-
quired.
Bonds are issued for the purpose OF |
providing tI.e. .aaaui,.ad nronav mt the |
outset, when large number of walks
are laid. 1t is expected that within a
few years the number of new walks to |
be laid each year Will become so few |
that sufficient money, to carry out the /
novel sidewalk plan can be taken from |
the general fund.
This is considered mos excellent |
plan. 1t requires simply that the mum
icipality shall advance q few thousand
dollars to the property owners, free of |
interest. When the great advantage
gained is taken into consideration, it !
seems that the weight of evidence is |
strongly in favor of the plan. Pal
myra has suddenly jumped into favor
as a residence town, on account of its
superior streets and walks.
