PASTEUR CURE MAY FAIL.
The Neck Child After Taking the Treat
ment Shows Signs of Rabies.
BARKED LIKE A DOG, A REPORT SAYS
When These symptoms Appeared Friends Sent
Her Back TO the Institution For
Further Treatment.

A few weeks ago The Haw keye
gave an account of the savage
work of a mad dog owned by a
farmer in the Wells Valley sec.
ton of the county. A number of
persons were bitten, but those
most seriously injured were the
two children of a poor farmer
named Neck, who were on their
way to a neighbor's when the
rabid animal attacked them. The
dog sprang upon the younger one
first, and but for the presence of
her sister, seventeen years old,
would doubtless have killed the
helpless child.
The two girls, bleeding from
the wounds inflicted by the dogs
teeth, made their way back home
and related what had happened.
Mr.. Neck was at once advised to
send his children to the Pasteur
Institute at Pittsburg. This he
had not the means to do, and was
in despair when he was called up
on by friends representing the
miners and others IN the vicinity
of Hopewell and told that the
money necessary to pay for the
treatment of his daughters at the
Institute had been raised. They
were at once sent to Pittsburg,
and after several weeks stay re-
turned to their homes apparently
free from all danger of hydropho-
bia.
Last week, however, the older
of the two girls, whose arm had
been frightfully TORN by the dog,
began to show symptoms of the
dread disease. A gentleman who
came from the neighborhood of
her home day or two ago, told a
representative of The Hawkeye
that she had begun to bark like a
dog and that her friends had sent
her in all haste back to the insti.
tute for further treatment. AT
the time The Hawkeye's inform
ant left Wells Valley 1t was fear.
ed that the case was one which
the institute physicians would
not be able to cure. Mr.. Meek is
not without hope, however, that
his daughter will come home re-
stored. In his trouble he has the
sincere sympathy of the people
of the neighborhood in which he
lives. The young lady is bright
and interesting girl and her brav
cry in defending her little sister
has caused her to be regarded as
a heroine.
An old lady, who was bitten by
the same dog that attacked the
Meek girls, was seen on Hunt
ingdon and Broad Top train
few days ago on her way to Hope
we'll, where, she said, she was go
ing to consult a physician. Th'
dog, The Hawkeye is informed
fastened it's teeth in her hand
but the wound inflicted did no
give the old lady much concerl
until she learned that she ha'
been bitten by a rabid animal
Then she went to a doctor, VIII
gave her salve to put on it
Several days ago, however, sh
began to experience strange fee
ings and decided that she was l
danger of hydrophobia. She re
turned to her home.
The other persons bitten ar
said to be out of danger. Bee

THE COLLECTION OF SCHOOL TAX.
Suggestions for the Guidance of Boards.
and Hints for the Taxpayers as we'll

and Hints for the Taxpayers as we'll
Notwithstanding the fact that
attention has been frequently
called to the matter, and that the
text of the school law with refer
ence to the collection has been as
often published, school director S
still continue to get into trouble.
On the fourth page of this is
sue of the NEWS will be found
the text of the law in full, and 1T
would not be bad idea to cut it
out and paste it in the secretary's
book for the guidance of future
officers.
There are some people who do
not seem to understand the differ
ence between general Legislation
and special legislation; that the
school tax is collected in this coun
ty by special act, and that little
book of school laws furnished to
the school board does not contain
anything but general legislation,
and consequently is no guide in
the collection of school tax IN this
county.
Read the act carefully. and
there will be no trouble about 1ol-
loving it. We might just add that
most boards in the county under
stand it and follow it's direction
from year to year.
Remember that no treasurer
can legally keep the duplicate af-
ter the first of November; that he
cannot charge five per cent, or
any other per cent, for any tax
he collect; and that his pay con-
sists alone in the two per cent. ,
for all moneys he pays out on
drafts from the president and
secretary. Where the amount
paid out in a year Is $1,000, he
will receive $40, and aside from
spending two days, the last week
of October to receive taxes, he
need not ask a man for his tax.
Tax payers should remem bel
that if they want the five per cent
off they must 60 to the treasurer
and pay their tax on, or before
the first day of October. If the
treasurer gives 5 per cent, off, OIL
makes any other rebate, after tha'
time he is liable for the amount
and the same can be collected from
him by law.
The best reason why the treas
urer should not keep the dupli
cate after the first of Novembe
is, that he has no power to issue
an execution or a warrant for the
arrest of delinquent, and conse
quently makes himself liable for
tax from that class of citizens.
Since one has a whole year to
get ready for the payment of his
tax, he had might as well pay il
first as last-better-for the diff,
ference between five per cent,
of and five per cent, on is toe
much of an item to be lost sight
of.

AT BRIBERY
Contractor Out $500 and a Box
Of Cigars. Recipient Was
indignant.

Washington, July 27.-The secretary
of war has sent to the treasury depart
ment a box of cigars and 5000 which
was received from the department of
Texas. 1t appears that Colonel Glenn,
chief quartermasteT of the department,
round the box of cigars on his desk,
and upon opening it he discovered It
was from a contractor. who was doing
some work under the QuartermaSteT' s
supervision. IN the box was the money.
The colonel was very indignant and re-
ferred the matter to General Fred
Grant, commanding the department.
The contractor acknowledged having
sent the cigars by a messenger boy.
but said he did not know anything
about the money. General Grant
thought that under such circumstance
nothing could be done by prosecuting
the man for. attempted bribery, so n
sent the n1oney to the war department.
The monel was sent 30 the treasury.
where all unclaimed funds are sent.
The cigars subsequently were sold for
50 and the money placed with the other
money.
