trial on March 18th. I'm the McMahon-Mc
Neilas suit the same TO be presented at
the next meeting That was all that was
done in the matter and many OF those who
had gone with the expectations OF nvelier
things happening were disappointed. Coun-
cilmen Bowen and Chagnau were appoin-
ted a committee to investigate the mat
ter of the names of the streets through
out the town and in instances where
there are more than one street in the
town which are situated In different viii
lagos to change the name OF one OF them.

but IL Is a step which will be also bene-
ficially felt I'm the valley, when that place
Is sometime made a city. At the con-
clusion OF the session the council adjour-
ned until Wednesday, when they will
meet at Norwood TO investigate some
matters pertaining 10 street lights and
damage caused by rains.

nese, however, consists largely OF fish.
They use a good deal OF barley, but their
main proteid In a kind OF bean containing
"a per cent of protein. IL is served In
several forms and Is exceedingly rich In
protein.
In dwelling upon the composition OF
meats and vegetables MISS Marlatt ex-
planned that most meats contain ID per
cent OF protein, 81 per cent OF which Is
digestible.

Established Grade.

At regular meeting tomorrow night
the Borough Council will he called
upon to take action on the new grade
for Mill street
As stated in recent Issue COM
mittee of Council approved of the elo-
vations selected along Mill street by
Engineer q. f. Keefcr Accordingly
the grade was established along those
lines and it is now up to Council.
There is little doubt, however, but
that the new grade will be adopted by
resolution and recorded as the legal
grade Of the Borough.
Notwithstanding that the Borough
has an established grade it will not
Immediately insist upon general over
hauling of the pavemcnts bringing
them all up to the new lines. There
are few bad places, however, which
serve as a hindrance and an annoyance
to pedestrians, which will have to be
remedied at once.
The Borough will now proceed with
street after street establishing and
placing the grade on record to the end
that property owners over the town
may proceed to repair their pavements,
many of which need it very badly, be-
fore the winter season sets in

Paws Better Than Wheat.

Former County Commissioner Hiram
Sandel of West Hcmlock township
drove into this city yesterday. Just
now while the wheat is drying out
preparatory to hauling in, Mr.. Sandel
says, the farmer j. improving his time
by getting his huckwhcat ground ready
for sowing.
Apropos of this humble crop, Mr..
Sandel states that farmers are awaken
ing to the fact that buckwheat pays
better than wheat and that as a con-
sequence every year more and more
buckwheat is sown in Montour county.
There are several reasons why the
crop should pay better than wheat. In
the first place it natures in about
three months. Although previously
the proper time for sowing was thought
to be between June 2lst and July 4th
it has been found by experiment that
the best yield is produced when the
crop is put into the groand as late as
the goth of July. This makes 1t pos
sible to raise two crops in one season.
Buck wheat yields thirty five to forty
bushels per acre and commands good
price, seldom selling below fifty-tive
or sixty cents per bushel, often bring
ing seventy, while wheat runs from
fifteen to twenty five bushels per acre
and averages but little above the
eighty cent mark.

A Bows Bad Accident.


Tcn-year- old Clifford Russell of
Williamsport, who is visiting his uncle,
Rostaurateur Andrew Russell, this
city, is nursing a broken arm rs the
result of a visit to the country.
Clifford on Saturday obtained per
mission to accompany Mr.. Charles
Gulick, friend of the family, to his
home near Rushtown. Clifford, who
is bright, observing boy, had seen
little or nothing of farm life and he
was full of curiosity. Nothing about
Mr.. Gulick's farm interested the boy
so much as the hogs. He assisted III
feeding these and was about the on
closure in which they were kept a
great deal.
At length he began to wander what
kind of beasts of burden they would
make and to put the matter to test
he jumped astride of one and cndcav-
ored to take ride, The hog thorough
ly frightened made a dash for the 9TH
er end of the yard, while the hoy un-
able to keep his pcrch fell oil. The
! fall was not high one, hut in alight-
4 ing he fell upon his left arm, frac-
turing both bones near the wrist. He
/ has since been brought back to his
uncle's home in this city, whore he is
doing quite well.

A TIMELY
SUCCESSION

Our Board OF Trade is to be COM
mended for the earncstness and the
energy displayed in its efforts to ad-
vance the industrial interests of the
town and no right minded person
should cpnsure il because it has not as
vet succeeded in adding another in
dustry. At the same time the ones
tion might be asked whether having
failed in the line of new industries it
might not be we'll tor the Board of
Trade to endeavor to intuse some
life and activity into those already
here but standing idle for causes eth
or known or hard to explain.
The DanyilIo Rolling Mill is case
i'm point as we'll as the big plant of the
Danville Bessemer Company, a por-
ton of which is dismnntled, while an
other portion eXcellently equipped for
the manufacture of shovels is shut
down and of no advantage whatever
TO the municipality.
That an industry under such circum-
stances is unattended with profit goes
without saying Here then is an OPP
poytunitv for the Board of Trade. Let
il exert itself to see whether it may
not be able to help along the idle in
dustry and by effecting its resumption
advance the interest of the town. Any
effort TO assist would be appreciated
aud encouraged by the stockholders
aud no doubt by the management it
self
On Monday next a meeting OF the
stockholders of the Danvillo BcSIcmer
Company will be held at Camden, N.
j. Without presuming to dictate the
American would suggest that the
Board of Trade call a meeting and APP
point a representative committee to
attend the meeting accompanied by
stockholder-an there are several in
Danvillc-who would he entitled to
know just what the status of affairs
is and what complications exist to
prevent the shovel works from run
ming
Such a visit might be productive of
benefit to NIL concerned. Once con-
versant with the state of affairs the
Board of Trade might see at glance
how it could be of assistance to the
town and the stockholders and proceed
accordingly, while the company as
sured of the moral if not more mater
ial support of the town, might see its
way clear to inaugurate some depar-
ture which would insure the steady
operation of the plant

ATTEMPT At
SUICIDE

Jacob Miller, Chambers street, made
a desperate attempt to commit suicide
yesterday by cutting his throat with
"A razor.
1t was shocking affair. Miller, who
is a puddler employed at the Reading
Iron Works, boards at the home of Mrs.
Mary Tovey, No. 22l Chambers street.
He has not been we'll of late and is be
ing treated by DR.. 7. b. Wintersteen,
who called to see him during yester-
day forenoon. Mrs. TOvey stated yes
terday that Miller ate hearty supper
Tuesday evening and seemed to sleep
well during the night. Yesterday morn
ing he arose as usual; after eating
breakfast he went down town, return
ing about Il o'clock when he partook
of a lunch. All this time he seemed in
good spirits and showed no evidence
of the horrible design that he must
nave harbored in his mind.
About noon Mrs. Tovey went out on
IN errand, leaving Miller in the house
alone. When she returned he was
lying in the midst of pool of blood,
while near by lay a hacked and
blood stained razor with which he
had committed the rash act. Horrified
by the spectacle Mrs. Tovey ran out of
the house and gave the alarm.
DR. Newbaker responded to the first
call for physicians. He was Joined lat
er by DR.. Paules The man was found
alive although very much exhausted
from the loss of blood, his body being
pale, cold and clammy. An eXamina-
tion revealed two terrible gaGhes across
the throat, the larger two and halt
inches long severiug the larynX. The
large artery escaped, but several small
Ter ones were severed, which account
ed for the shocking loss of blood A
piece was broken out of the razor that
the man used which showed how dcs.
perate the attempt had been. Under
the circumstances, death was not neCes-
sarily fatal, although there was much
10 fear from the loss of blood The
man seemed conscious, but he made no
statement as to why he committed the
rash act. The two doctors sewed up
the self-infiicted wounds after which
they handed the case over to the regu-
lar family physician.
Miller is about 10 years of age. He
is son of the late Gottleib Miller and
has two brothers and two sisters. His
condition is very grave, although re-
covery is by no means improbable.

Pointers for PiCnickers.

People going to the country or to the
woods for their summer vacation
should not omit medicine chest in
their luggage Doctors are not always
convenient in the rural districts, or the
woods, and the medicine chest Is a
very handy thing to have nearby in
emergency cases. The family physi-
clan is the best man to go to to find
out what it should contain. Here are
"A few suggestions, however: Arnica,
aromatic spirits of ammonia, cmetics,
a good salve or ointment, tablets of
charcoal, pepsin aud bismuth. and a
hot water bag. There are numerous
other things that it would be best to
have in the chest.
