The New Regulations,

The new drill regulations have been
distributed among the commissioned
and non commissioned officers OF the
National Guard. and at the next drill
Company +, of this city, will be in
structed under the new regulations.
In all probability the companies at
tanning the highest percentage at the
coming inspection will have the honor
of attending the Inauguration OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt, therefore it behooves
every member OF the Company to be
present at all the drills In the near
future the local ArmoIy will be fitted
up with an indoor rife range, where
men can practic craftsmanship with
the celebrated Krag JoIgensen rife,
which has 20 barrel calibre. Am
munition will be furnished by the
State. Appropriate prizes will be
awarded to the marksmen making
highest score during the season.
This step Is fostered by the Federal
Government. which has recently de.
clared that rife practice of the in
dividual soldier is one OF the most i'm
portaut branches OF the service.
With the indoor range IN winter and
the outdoor in summer the n. q. ?.
will in short time lead the United
State in m mlrksmsnship,a a. it now does
in every other branch of the service.

i1any Lycoming Streams Fail.

Farmers in Nippenose valley declare
that not in sixty years has there been
drought tt equal the one now pre-
vaillng, although the recent snowfall
may yield some relief. What is true
in Nippenose valley is true through
out this entire section. Mountain
streams have gone dry or are frozen to
the bottom, wells have failed and the
earth is gradually freezing Some
farmers are hauling water three miles.
Antes creek. which drains Nippenose
spectacle little river, has narrowed
down to a sluggish ditch. the bed of
the stream showing its ribs cf rocks
all the way across. In this condition
it is but a type of nearly all the ttib-
utaries of the West Branch. Up in
Nippenose valley, where Antes creek
begins, the stream rms through the
limestone strata underground fer about
seven miles. Occasionally the earth
has oaved in and from these caverns
the farmers are hosting water. At
Lock Haven the drying up of Nc
Elhattan run curtailed the supply of
the city to such an extent that the
Pennsylvania Railroad supply was cut
off. But the Pennsy was equal to the
occasion. Marshalling one hundred
workmen, ditch to the river, nearly
1000 feet away, was dug, and in forty
eight hours the pipe was laid, and
gasoline pump at the rivers edge is
now sending a generous stream into
the company's tank. At Moutours
Vile. where the borough reservoir in
the mountain went dry, the borough
began pumping from a big reserve
well. An epidemic of forty one caees
of diphtheIis resulted, but the town
is helpless, and the we'll is its only
supply.

"Way Down East"

The gradually disappearing barriers
between the church and the stage
could hardly be better exemplifed than
by the recent engagement of VIM. A.
Brady's famous New England pastor
al, Way Down East" in Boston.
During the run of the play in the
Hub, fifty-seven clergymen, represent
ing all denominations, are said to have
witnessed the performance. In this
connection it is interesting to recall
that the first drama produced in Bos-
ton was in 1850. The novelty brought
together such a crowd and created so
much disturbance that the Legislature
passed law prohibiting theatrical en-
tertainments as tending to unneces-
sary expense, the increase of impiety,
and a contempt for religion.
"Way Down East" will appear in
this city on Friday evening, Decem-
ber 30th.

Sending Wheat to Russia.

Fred K. Crisman, of Berwick. will
in a few days send away the last two
cars to complete his export shipment
of 40, 900 bushels of wheat to Russia.
One thousand bushels have been
Loaded to a car and thirty eight cars
are already in New York. Mr.. Cris-
man was in Scranton recf ntly and met
the Russian agent. The entire 40, 900
bushels, which is Fart of purchase Of
500. 900 bushels, calls for delivery in
New York by December 10.
The grain is sent TO the heart OF the
great grain raising districts of South
ern Russia. The natives Of that san-
which is exported from Southern Rus
sia and competes with American
wheat exports, while the American
farmers are feeding their competitors
who live upon the cheap buckwheat
and rye in preference to the high prio-
ed wheat. The gain by shipping the
wheat at $l.20 and importing buck
wheat at 65 cents can be seen.
Buckwheat is prepared in Russia in
various ways not used 10 this country
and besides is a favorite food.
The cost of shipping the grain by
vessels to Odessa over 1000 miles is
but 258 cents per bushel, less than the
price from Berwick to New York by
rail.
Grain is used as ballast on the large
vessels, which accounts for the cheap
freight rate.

the entire trip iucldding railroad fare,
hotel expenses, trip to Mt. Vernon,
transfer of baggage in Washington and
fees of guards will be SIS. This is g
