MEDALS OF HONOR
 lN TEE NAVY.

earnestly call the attention of the congress to the need of amending the existing law relating to the award oi congressional medals of honor In the na- w so as to provide that they may be awarded to commissioned officers as well as to enlisted men. These justly prized medals are given in the army alike to the officers and the enlisted men. and 1t is most unjust that the commissioned off cers and warrant officers of the navy should not in this respect have the same rights as their brethren in the army and as the enlisted men of the navy.

Died at Kane Hospital.

Mrs. Victor Wingard, of Kingsley
twp, Forest county, died at the Kane
hospital Thursday evening, May 10, 1904,
about o'clock, from heart failure. She
had been ailing for some months, and
about week ago was taken by DR.. Detar
and her husband to the Kane hospital
where she was operated upon last Mon
day. The operation appeared successful,
but Thursday she was taken with violent
vomiting which undid the work of the
oberators, making it necessary for her to
go through the ordeal again which proved
too much for her already weak heart.
Mrs. Wingard sought the Lord in the
revival services held in the Buck Mills
school house by Rev. and Mrs. Zahn;ser
last winter, soon after she was taken
sick. During her sickness she was bap-
tzed by the pastor and received clear
conversion,
The funeral services were conducted at
the home of Mrs. Carbaugh, of Buck
Mills, a sister of the deceased, Friday
evening, and the remains were taken to
Fisher, Pa, for interment.
Mrs. Wingard was aged 81 years, 10
months and days, and leaves husband
and three small children, one brother
and two sisers to mourn her loss, besides
numerous friends in the community
who will miss her.

The "Flag Scrap" at State.

1t has been the custom each year at
State Collegs for the freshman class to
raise their class flag on the campus. The
sophomores do their best to prevent this,
for the winning of this scrap means much
to both classes. Should the sophomores
succeed in tearing the flag down the de-
feated class will not be entitled to class
pennaht during their entire college
course.
THIS year after much planning by the
freshman secret committee, it was decid-
ed to raise the flag on the morning of
May II. Several messengers had been
appointed by the committee, and, as soon
as the pole was planted, they started out
to awaken the freshmen and tell that the
flag was up on the Beaver Field. The
pole was raised at 2:30 O'Clock a. m, and
in short time the entire freshman class
was around it stripped to the waist and
ready for the "Sophs." About $50 fresh
men linked arms around the pole while
80 others stood by ready to break up the
rushes or stop the machines" that might
be tried against them. The sophomores
soon gathered and started the scrap by
rushing upon the freshmen, throwing
paper sacks full of flour and trying to
use their first machine. This attempt,
however, was defeated, but they soon
rushed again and tried to pull down the
pole by the use of large graphing hook.
This plan failed as before, so the sopho-
mores then withdrew to rest for short
time. They next made rush to break
through the freshmen and thus get to the
pole. This rush was not successful, but
the fighting continued until seven o'clock
when the sophomores withdrew and ac-
kowledged their defeat by giving the
freshman class yell. The victorious
freshmen responded by giving the soph-
omore yell and then grouped around the
flag pole for their picture. Thus ended
the ''scrap." Roy AND JOHN.

State Pays the Bill.

The State authorities having been in
formed that an epidemic of rabies had
broken out among some cattle in Craw.
ford county, Or. George b. Johnson, of
Franklin, was sent out on tour of in
vestigation by Leonard Pearson, State
Veterinary. last week:
Or. Jobson went to Titusville on Mon
day and found the trouble had been
caused by a dog he began to follow the
clue and finally got to Eldred Centre.
Here he found that stray mad dog had
app, ared on May 2 and bit COW belong
Ing to d. d. Delands. Following the
clue he next found the dog had got to
East Titusville, where he bit seven cows
on the same day the dog was at Enter
prise, where he Bit a COW, calf and a
dog. In the afternoon the dog struck out
for Pleasantville. Here he was overtak-
en- by two men who carried guns and fol-
lowed the canine's trail from Enterprise
to Pleasantville, where they encountered
him and he was shot. He bit two cows
for Mr.. Parker, ut Pleasantville, before
the men reached there. There was the
greatest excitement all along the route
that the dog took. Parker at once shot
his COWS, not knowing what the rasult
might be if he did not dispose of them.
DR.. Jobson visited ali the places on the
trail of the dog and quarantined all the
cattle. Tho dog that was bitten was
killed. The Pacing OF the cattle in quar-
antine prevents any disposition of them
by any other person than DR.. Jobson, as
he will watch the results. 1t may not be
generally known, but according to sup

dIers Are on the Frontier.
New Orleans, La. c. e, Eleta, a
prominent merchant of Panama, reach
ed here Friday direct from that coun-
try via Bocas del Toro. with the news
that 1000 enraged Colombian soldiers
are ON the Panama frontier awaiting
word from the leaders to march on to
Panama and Colon. He says the Off
cials Of the new republic Of Panama
are making no preparations to pre-
vent the invasion, because they are
absolutely depending on the effective
ness Of the 1000 American marines
stationed on the line of the Panama
railroad to oppose the Colombians.
There we're 1000 men from the
United States warships stationed
around Panama and Colon in defense
of the Panama railroad, and also to
protect the republic Of Panama against
an invasion declared Mr. Eleta, who
left Panama last Thursday. "At the
Empire camp, one Of the healthiest
places ON the line, there are 900 ma
rines, and an additional 500 at Bias
Obispo, while between Darien and the
Costa Rican frontier on the, Pacific
side 500 are scattered. These com
bined forces are sufficient TO repel any
attack the Colombians may attempt
and If the army OF 1900 swoops down
on Panama they will find the Ameri
cans strongly fortified and able to
drive the invaders back over the from
tier and into the mountains, where
they will probably fall into the hands
