WRECK NEAR
MOORESBURG
A Freight Train Breaks in Two an;
Comes Together with a Crash.

A freight wreck occurred between
Mooresburg and Pottsgrove shortly af-
ter noon yesterday, which resulted in
the derailment of five cars loaded with
soft coal. The freight, which was South
bound, broke in two at the middle just
as it was approaching steep grade, the
two sections coming together with a
crash Just as the first half was slowing
up. The wreck train was sent for,
which soon had the track cleared. No
one was injured.

The menu served at the first annual
banquet of the American Angora Goat
Breeders association at Kansas City is
described in Wool Markets and Sheep
by a participant. He says:
The Angora broth was certainly very
smooth, tasty and full Of zest. The An
CORA kid oysters were something new
to me, as was also the AngOra broth,
and l had some doubts whether or not
my stomach would agree with me that
it would be what one would call really
good and appetiZing. However, that
question, in my mind, Is settled forev-
er. want nothing better to eat when
hungry than fried Angora kid oysters
and tomato sauce. The venison | can
not compare to anything more than the
ordinary venison from the deer. Wheth-
er it was the way in which the various
dishes of the flesh of the Angora goat
were prepared or not | am not prepar-
ed to say, but one thing is certain, that
what | partook of was good enough for
the most fastidious epicure.
Angoras and Wool.
While the Angora, on account of its
great practical utility in clearing the
brush from off new lands and old and
abandoned ia,ms and as Il producer OF
one of the most valuable kinds of hair
known, is destined to play an impor-
tant part in the animal husbandry OF
this country, we do not believe that 1t
will ever injuriOusly or materially ar
feet the wool industry of this country.
Angora Goats VIII Pay.
There are those who will ask, What Is
there in an Angora goat TO warrant
such fabulous prices being paid for
sires? says shepherd Boy in Wool Mar
kets and Sheep. Will it pay? My an
swer is, Certainly it will pay. This Is
the quickest road TO breeding to high
standard. Colonel Landrum knew this
when many years ago he secured two
bucks from Asia Minor at the price of
Il small fortune and trailed them 5000
miles across the plains and mountains
at the rate of twenty miles day and
with the risk of losing both his goats
and perhaps his own life. These bucks

Commenting on the highway law of
the Empire State. the New York Times
in recent issue said:
The legislation heretofore enacted for
the improvement of the roads Of the
state is good as far as it goes, but it is
not likely to 90 very far in the lifetime
of the youngest Of our readers. 1t pro-
vides for state aid to towns that are
willing to contribute their part to bet
ter roads built under the direction Of
the state. Up to the present time we
believe that only 300 miles of the 5000
in the state are benefited by this law.

is to increase the usefulness of high
ways" proposes that the plan now in
operation in towns generally shall be

AMUSEM ENTS.

See Little Trixie' and enjoy an even.
ing Of recreation and fun.
One likes a comedy, but one likes a
comedy with plot. Little Trixie" AT
the Opera House on Monday evening,
is musical comedy of refined order.
1t has the plot of melo-drama, to-
gether with the fun of a comedy and
the specialties of vaudeville farce.
What is probably one Of the most i'm
portant engagements of the season at
the Opera House is that of Mr. Robert
b. Mantell and company. The modern
drama has been so persistently present
ed for the past few seasons that the ad-
vent Of a Shakespearian production is
looked forward to with more than or
dinary interest, and especially heralded
are the elaborate productions of Mr..
Mantell, who, today stands alone as the
greatest Americ II rxpJueat Of Shakes
peare. Mr. Mantell will be supported
by a very carefully selected company
under the management of NJ w.
Hanley.
Little Trixie" which will appear at
the Opera House. Monday night, Feb
ruary 3, is one of that class of plays that
have become popular of late years under
the name of musical or operatic come
dies. In other countries they are called
musical melo-dramas. Unlike the gen
eral farce comedy it is free from the
usual vulgar songs and horse play that
is introduced in these incongruities
Little TriXie' is play man can take
his entire family to see, and they will
all enjoy it, even to the little ones"
Little Trixie' is a magnetic little
lady who has faculty of making friends
and admirers in every city she appears
She is sweet singer, a wonderful
dancer, and her power of mimicry is
unsurpassed. She is supported by a
company of talented artists who produce
some clever and high class specialties
~ y y
At the Opera House Thursday even
ing February 9th, the Huntley Harris
company will open three nights en-
gagement. The organization is said to
be stronger than ever this season, but
special care has been taken in the
speciality portion of the performance and
some of the cleverest artists in this line
will be seen here. The company is
headed by Mr.. Huntley, Miss Edna Mar
shall and Miss MaybelIe Moore.
" " y
We take pleasure in announcing the
coming of Mr.. Robert B. Mantell, than
whom no more eminent actor is now on
the American stage, accompanied by a
company of unusual strength and merit,
in repertoire of high class romantic
drama and Shakespearian plays which
we understand are staged in manner
never before attempted. Mr.. Mantell
who never fails to receive the support
which true merit deserves will be seen
here at his best. His engagement here
will undoubtedly be one of the theatri-
cal events of the season. Mr. Mantell
comes to us, Monday evening, February
10th.

so changed that the resources avail
able, which are very considerable, shall
be applied under state direction.
At present each property owner is re-
quired to pay his share Of the amount
voted for roads, but is at liberty to
| work out the tax at the rate of one
days labor for each dollar due by him.
The work, whether voluntary or hired,
is done when and where the path mas
ter and the highway commissioner may
direct. The change urged is that all
payment Of road taxes in labor shall
be done away with, that all taxes shall
be paid in money and that the money
shall be expended under the direction
of the skilled and trained officials Of
the state
There eau be no doubt that this ar
/ rangement would secure very much
better return for the money Of the va
flous towns Tnan Is got at present. NO
one need be great traveller in the in
terror of our state to know that the
general condition of the roads is bad
and that the badness is tremendously
costly. 1t is quite common to see a
fairly good road passing from the area
of one town become a wretched road
in the next, and the proportion Of the
latter is many times greater than that
of the former
AS a rule the actual cost of the de-
cent roads is not appreciably larger
! than that of the bad ones. The mon
! ey is used in one case and wasted in
the other. The plan suggested would
not increase, as we understand it, the
amount collected for roads 1t would
simply secure an immensely better re-
! turn for it. And this return would be
in the definite shape Of economy and
profit for the residents of the towns
as well as for the community general
| l..
1t has been estimated that improve
ment in roads steadily used, which
Shonld save only 10 per cent of the
wear and tear of horses and wagons
and of the time of men employed,
would save to the average farmer from
$40 to 500 year. 1t is not at all un-
reasonable to infer that the plan pro-
posed would effect such an improve
ment. AS it would not cost the coun-
try residents a cent more in expendi-
ture, it ought to be popular if 1t Is
once understood.

Either a green or amber colored oil

gravity of not less than 43 degrees at

SHORTAGE OF BEEF IS REAL.

| Lincoln, Neb., May 3. The
grass is long and green on the
great cattle ranges of the West
just now, and if the people who
are aching to get an under-the-
belt blow at the Beef Trust can
wait, say until next August
they will have a chance. BY
that time the many thousands
of cattle now munching away
the succulent herbage will be
fit for market, and prices are
bound to tumble. And they
will mot fall much before that
time, say cattlemen.
A good many cattle are going
off the ranges now, but the
quality is poor. They are be-
ing rushed to market because
a few spectators are anxious
to realize now.
| At South Omaha and Kan
sas City the receipts daily are
practically the same as last
year, but the Offering Of beef
steers, the kind the packers
want, form a much smaller
percentage of the total. Many
of these are coming off the
farms of the West, where they
have been fed for what every
cattle dealer has been certain
for weeks would be a top mar
iket.
It is only occasionally that
the offerings of beef steers are
lof fine quality, and the price Of
these is easily maintained.
The 1essened demand from the
packers has caused a falling
off of ten cents to fifteen cents a
hundred within the week on
the commoner grades, but as
high as seven cents pound
has been paid for cattle weigh
ing from 400 to 1900 pounds.
Seven cents on the hoof is a
very tempting price, and it is
this fact alone that is causing
the receipts at cattle markets
IN the West to keep even with
last year The supply cannot
long be maintained, as the.
farms and ranges are being
rapidly denuded of their best
steers by this market.
The fact that receipts have
