The term "ptomaine poison IS
in everybody's mouth, but few
know what it really is. 1t devel-
ops, says What to Eat" through
the action of acid on tin. That is
why every can of meat or veget-
ables or fruits should be turned out
into an earthen bowl or crock i'm
mediately upon opening the tin can,
and that is why mayonnaise should
never be pat into tin receptacles.
Only recently several women were
made seriously i'll by eating salad
at a reception. Investigation
showed that the mayonnaise, in
which was considerable lemon juice,
had been allowed to stand all day
in a tin pail" According to the
physicians, enough poison was
generated to kill forty men, ard had
the women eaten the mayonnaise
from the bottom of th- pail it would
have been fatal to them.

sOUFFLE WITH DANGEROUS MAN.

Thomas Barrett, residing at what
is known as the Lower Shanties,
a man with a vicious disposition,
particularly when he is in liquor,
attempted to assault DR.. Biddle at
the Fountain Springs Hospital,
Thursday afternoon.
DR.. Biddle was informed of Bar
rett's presence and unruly actions
and approached, and began to re-
monstrate with him. Barrett was
very insolent and finally attempted
to draw a black jack and assault
the superintendent who grasped
him and after choking him until he
was almost breathless elected him
from the building, with the assist
ance of others who went to his
assistance. After he had recovered
himself Barrett very strongly de-
clared his intention Of shooting DR..
Biddle, though it was afterwards
found that he had no revolver, or
possibly he might have done SO.
Barrett wandered about til e
grounds, and in the meantime DR..
Biddle telephoned to town for an
officer. Constable Brennan re-
sponded and had considerable
trouble in placing the handouts on
his prisoner. He was taken to
Ashland and on information sworn
out against him before Squire Rus
sell by DR.. Biddle he was committed
to Jail. He spent the night in the
lookup and was taken to prison by
Constable Brennan Tuesday morn
ing
While in Squire Russeps Office
Barrett became very obstreperous
and raising his manacled hands he
struck Constable Brennan a fierce
blow on the head with the hand
cuffs. He also tried to get behind
the desk for the purpose Of striking
Squire Russell.
About a year ago Barrett visited
the hospital and attempted to draw
a revolver on DR.. Z. Z. Shiffer-
stine, then attached to the surgical
staff. Just what grievance he has
against the hospital is not known.
He has never been a patient there,
nor, SO far as can be learned, has
any of his people.
Barrett is about 2I years of age,
and his parents are among the most
respected people in the community
in which he lives. BY many it is
though, that he is not we'll bal
anced mentally, and this condition
is aggravated when drinking.
DR.. Biddle will push the case
against him because he believes
that he is not safe man to be at
large.

EVANGELICAL WAR OVER.
Evidence That the Two Branches Of the
Church Are Getting Together. ..s

Evidence that dissensions among
the two branches of the Evangelical
association is over were given at
Pottsville last week. The East
Pennsylvania conference of the
Evangelical association was held in
that city and the churches of the
United Evangelical branch were
occupied by ministers of the parent
body. The war between the fac
tions, which was very bitter for
some years and which divided the
church, has subsidized and better
christian spirit prevails, and in
dications point that in the very
near future both branches will be
working in harmony for the CON-
mon good. .se am saa.t

Easter Late This Year.

,6In only nine times in two and a
Quarter centuries has Easter fallen
as late as it will this year. Only
Eve times during this period has it
come later than it does this year,
and it is NOT possible for the great
Christian holiday to fall more than
two days later. In all of the years
from 1886 to 2oI3 there is not one
occasion when it falls later than
April IS and only twice does it
come on this day of the month.
During this period Easter Sunday
falls three times on April IS, and
four times on April 20. This year
the festival will be observed on the
a3rd. AS result Of the late

Columbia county papers tell of

Columbia county papers tell of a
farmer in that region who has just
sold carload of apples for twenty
cents a bushel, while another has
fed 500 bushels to his hogs and has
twice as many left. And the con-
sumer in Philadelphia pa Us fifty
cents peck for apples. The Col
umbia county farmers and the Phil
adelphia consumers obviously ought
to be brought into touch with each
OF h er. Newspaper advertising
would often put money into the pock-
cts of fruit growers and obviate the
necessity Of casting pearls-or other

BX rENSION OF TAB TROLLEY,
Charter Has Been Granted the Northumber.
land County Tractien Co. will
Connect With Danville.

A short time ago charter was
granted by the state department at
Harrisburg to the Northumberland
County Traction Company, the pur-
pose of whidh is to extend the Lew
isburg, Milton a nd Watsontown
trolley line from East Lewistown to
Northumberland, via Montandon.
At that point it will connect with
the Sunbury and Northumberland
road, which will give Milton and
the Upper End direct connection
with the county seat. When the
Danville a I'd Sunbury | in e and
Farmer Kulps Shamokin extension
are completed TO Sudbury, as they
are likely to be this summer, we
will have direct trolley comrnunica-
ton with Danville, Bloomsbury,
Berwick, Shamokin, Mt Carmel
and Ashland. Super inten dent
Mountney is now engaged in secur
ing the right of way in Chillisqua-
que and Point townships and the
prospect so far as the work has gone
is most encouraging. Work on the
line will be commenced as, soon as
the right of way has been secured
and will be pushed rapidly to COM
pletion. It's expected to have the
yoad finished and in good running
order before fair time. This exten-
sion will necessitate h e enlarge
ment of the power house and the in
ssallation Of additional power and
machinery. A new car barn will
have to be built, which will cover
the entire lot owned by the compa-
ny on Locust street, where the pre-
sent barn is located. The small
cars now in use will give place to
large double truck cars, and the
humber will be increased by at least
six. The determination Of the COM
pany to enlarge their plant here and
extend their line will be welcome
news to our people. Every improve
ment of this kind adds to the town,
not to mention that it will give EN-
ployment to an increased number of
men. .-Milt0n Standard. .ogHa

HENRIETTE G. OLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat
ment. They are always grave. and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts In these cases has saved many
lives. A large dose Of Peruna should
be taken at the first appearance of q cold
in summer, followed by small and oft
repeated doses. There is no other rem
edy that medical science can furnish, SO
reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.
