NOT AFFECTED
BY COAL STRIKE

| Farmers of Montour and Columbia
counties are replenishing their cellars
with coal from McAuley Mountain
where Notwithstanding the opposition
of the United Mine Workers coal is
being dug i'll considerable quantities
John Wampole of Swenoda who had
| Just returned from McAulcv Mountain
with a load of coal was in this city
yesterday and gave an interesting de
scription of the one mine that has CON
tinued i'll operation during the strike
The colliery, which consists of Il single
| drift cut into the south side of Nc.
Auley Mountain about 3 miles from
Mountain Grove, is owned by Jacob
Baker and is a very old working,
which in its time has yielded large
quantities of coal There is no rail
way nearer than three miles, neither
| is there one needed, as the uncertain
output in the past was never more
than sufficient to supply the demand
of the farmers of wide territory, who
hauled the coal from the breaker with
their own wagons. Mr.. Baker is a
farmer and previously he divided his
time equally between farming and
digging coal. Since the Inauguration
of the miners strike, however, he has
found it to his interest to push mining
to its farthest limit.
There is hardly an hour that dozen
wagons are not lined up in front OF
the little mine waiting for their turn
to be loaded Many of these have come
twenty miles or even farther as i'll the
case of Mr.. Wampole who left Swenoda
about midnight and did not get his
wagon loaded until late the following
afternoon. The demand is practically
unlimited and many tons of McAulcy
coal have been hauled to CatawiSSa,
Bloomsbury and other towns for wint-
er use in view of the probability that
the miners strike may continue in
definitely.
Mr.. Baker has usually nine miners
employed, but on the day of Mr.. VAN
poles visit three were off duty owing
to illness. He says that all sorts OF
influences have been brought to bear
to induce him to close his mine He
has, however, held out and has no in
tention of closing down. He has had
no difficulty in finding sufficient
number of non union men to operate
his colliery.
The McAuley Mountain seems to Oc-
cupy the very limit of the coal field.
The coal mined, however, in quality
averages up about as we'll rs the out
put of any larger working. The coal
is broken up by crude and odd con
trivance invented by Mr.. Baker and
operated by traction engine. 1t an
swers its purpose very well, although
it bears no resemblance to the breaker
in which the coal is prepared for
market at the large collicrieS.
The coal is sold at the mine for II
cents per hundred pounds, or 81 10 per
ton. This is very cheap for those who
live near the mine but with those who
have to haul it a distance of 20 or -
miles it becomes dear enough. How
ever, the object at the present time is
to get coal at any price.

During a spell of particularly hot

across three workmen engaged on a
job on his estate. One of them remark
ed, as workmen not infrequently do,

had perhaps extended itself to the bar

away, with the reply: "If you are

You will find pail there"

Caused a Bic Excitement,

ed a very big excitement. Shortly be
fore Z O clock an alarm was sounded.
The fire was soon located in the north.
western part OF town. Some one said
that the Reading Iron Works were on
fire. The remark was quickly taken
up and repeated on every side. I'm q
few minutes hundreds of people Oh
the tiptOe of excitement were rushing
in the direction Of the iron works
Suspense and excitement gave way t
laughter and plcasantries when it was
learned that instead of the biggest in
dustry in town being a prey of flames
only chicken coop in the rear OF
Montour Row was on fire
The fire department responded
promptly, each of the hose carriage,
arriving at the scene of the fire about
the same time as the crowd. The
Friendship carriage, drawn by one OF
the horses, made excellent time and
was the cynosure of all eyes as it went
bowling down Mill street.
The fire had many of the features ot
comedy performance. When the fire
men arrived at the burning building
which was at the rear of the premises
occupied by Charles SweitZer,a a buckle
brigade had already got i'll its work
and the fire was eXtinguishcd. The
hapless chicken coop, a building GOV
cred by a shed roof some five feet
long, by eight feet wide and about a,
high as a man, was found to be littl,
damaged.
The fire owed its origin TO a very
odd circumstance. Mr.. Swcitzer cX-
planned that he has some very rare
game chickens which he domicilcs in
the big coop. Lately the structure be
came infested with chicken lice anC

afternoon was good one, but the
"Old Timers lost by being unable to
get hits when they were needed. Sha-

there to the coal metropolis by rail.
They were accompanied by numerous
enthusiastic rootcrs.
Steele, the Sunburian, pitched a good
game for Danyillc. He struck seven
men out and gave four bases on balls
BOughncr, who pitched for Shamok-
in, had six strike outs and four bases
on balls Danvillc had seven hits and
two errors Shamokin had six hits,
with two errors. The following was
the score by innings:

A $1,000 PRIZE.

A prominent manufacturer has Of
fered a prize of one thousand dollars
for the best essay on preventive medi-
cine, believing that a proper exercise
or preventive medicine is of incai-
oulable benefit to the human race
The tendency of medical science Is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given
to the subject. 1t is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an
attack of influenza grip, and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
teracts the tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases
in which this remedy has been used
during the great prevalence of colds
and grip in recent years, and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
