ONE HUNDRED CASES
OF TYPHOID

If any of our citizens in view of the
typhoid epidemic up the river have
unheeded the advice to boil all water
used for drinking it is about time that
they awoke from their lethargy or DAN
Vile like Berwick will be in the grasp
of a typhoid epidemic, which is slow
| ly but surely working its way insid-
iously down the North Branch from
Nauticoke. where the contagion first
made it's appearance.
1t is something of shock to our
citizens to learn that there ale more
than one hundred cases Of typhoid few
er in Berwick and Nesoopoek. Yet
these ore the figures given out by the
State Department of Health and DR..
Fred O. Johnson, Chief Medical offic-
er of the Department, is in the two
towns investigating the outbreak. f.
Herbert Snow. Chief of the Engineer
ing Bureau of the Health Department
and DR.. II. Fox of Hummelstown have
he,n ordered to Berwick to assist DR..
.TohusNn.
Tne view held by the experts is that
the epidemic at Berwick and Nescopeck
il the result of the epidemic at Nan
tieoke. case from Berwick suffer
ing with typhoid fever, was taken to
a point ne ,r Pins Greek. one of the
tributaries of Fishing Greek, which
places Bloomsbury also in danger. DR.
Dixon, Health Commissioner of the
State, has Issued an order requiring
not o; ly the residents of Berwick and
Nescopcck but of Bloomsbury also to
boil their water.
The Importance OF boiling the water
is explained by DR.. Johnson. who
states that Nauticoke's epidemic all
originated in one case of typhoid at
the water shed of Nanticoke's water
supply. twelve miles away. just as the
germs which infect Berwick IN turn
came down the river from Nanticoke.
In view of the situation up the river
no person in thinking over the matter
Jan avoid two important deductions:
First. That Danville now stands in
as much danger as Berwick and Nesco-
peck were in when typhoid ragged in
Nanticoke.
Second. That if boiling the water
is recommended by high authority for
Bloomsburg. Nescopeok and Berwick
it is an equally safe precaution in
Danville.
Therefore boil all the water used for
household purposes.

TEAMS PLAY
A TIE CAME

The Danville High School foot ball
team met the Bloomsbury High School
team ON Normal field at Bloomsbury
on Saturday afternoon and after con
test of S5 minutes the score stood
Bloomsbury 0. Danville 0, and while
the ball was almost continuously in
Bloomsbury territory. our boys we're
unable to get it over the line. The
boys are beginning to show greatly
improved form as q result Of constant
and careful training under Prof Tay-
lor, and the game on Saturday show
ed that the High School team is a
strong lot of players who compare fav-
orably with teams OF the same class
throughout this section. The team felt
confident of winning Saturdays game
and while they failed in this they pre-
vented their opponents from winning
which is next thing to a victory.
The l 40 car on the Danville aud
Bloomsbury trolley line carried the
team. and large crowd of students to
the scene of battle. The ladies were
gaily attired and wore large bunohes
of the Danville oolors. orange and
purple. and their presence seemed to
inspire a confidence and determination
on the part of the players. to win.
The game was started promptly at
80, Bloomsbury kicking off. and
Seohler catching the ball made a 15
yard run before Bloomsbury could
down him, after which by continuous
line playing, Danville made several 5
or 10 yard gains. Taylor, Dreifuss and
Spade, proved themselves excellent
gamers.
Bloomsbury seemed to brace up at
this time. and held Danville for two
downs, and as Danville was unable to
"kick, on account of the wind" she
gained the necessary ground by fake
play, Danv;lle continued to buck the
line until within twenty yards of
Bloomsburg's line, when the ball was
lost on a tumble. Bloomsbury then
attempted to hurdle but failed, and a
kick which quickly followed was
blocked BY Dreifuss. Bloomsbury re-
covered the ball but was unable to
make any material gains before time
was called and the first half ended.
| The second half started with Danville
kicking off and with the favorable
wind the kick proved to be very long
one before Bloomsburg gained many
yards Danville tackled and held them.
The second half was series of
rushes and plunges and it was impos-
sible for either side to make inroads
on the other and the game ended with
out either side being able to score.

the visitors created good impression

applause, and during the first half,
which ended with the locals only two

In the second half Danvile showed

and passing the ball in a way that
would put old leaguers to shame. Pet

the first half, threw ten goals from the
field in the second and played his man
to a standstill. Gilmore's guard play
was a marvel. while Johnson, Russell
and Big Bill were also on hand will

beautiful passing, and their team work
WAS good, but they were unable to
locate the basket when chance for

Terrible scsnes Witnessed.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan 4.-Eight
men are known to be dead and three
seriously injured in boiler explosion
and fire which destroyed the PITTS
burg towboat Defender here late last
night. The Defender was owned by
the Monongahlea and Ohio Consolidat-

empties. The night was bitter cold
and as the explosion occurred at
point some distance from any town,
those who escaped were nearly frozen
before they could be given shelter So
far six bodies have been recovered.
Some of the scenes which greeted
those participating in the search for
bodies were terrifying. Three men
burned beyond recognition. were found
pinned beneath the boiler. Their
heads and extremities were burned on
and only the trunks Of the bodies re-
mained. The boats register was de-
stroyed in the fire and only from the
captains supplementary register can
the list Of members OF the crew be had.
The latter is complete and the list OF
dead may be Increased.

Chicago, Jan. 4--Thoedore Thomas,

pneumonia, here early today, aged 20.
Death came to the world famous di-

his ambition of years in the establish

Thomas lived to lead his orchestra

last appearance WAS at concert the
day before Christmas. 1t was a week
ago Saturday that Thomas first felt
the ilment which eliminated in his
death. Apparently his trouble was only
slight touch of grip. Last Thursday
however, pneumonia developed and on
Saturday his condition was grave. Sun
day he improved, and Monday physic-

evening while Thomas was sanguine as
usual there suddenly occurred a
change for the worse. Without a note

never again conscious. Funeral serv-

New Governor Of Minnesota in His
Inaugural Message Says Freight
Tariffs are Not Equitable and Says
Iowa Has Advantage Of Minnesota
Under Existing Conditions.
st. Paul, Jan. A. - Governor john
son in his inaugural message to the
legislature today referred to the rail-
way legislation as one Of the greatest
problems Of modern times. especially
as to railway freight rates. He said
there was much unjust discrimination
in railway freight rates in Minnesota,
and that railway rates were much low
er in Iowa than in Minnesota, and that
something was radically wrong with a
system which placed the shipper Of
this state ait such a disadvantage. The
Iowa distance tariff which some advo-
Gated as a solution Of the difficulty he
doubted as proper solution, as con-
dftions in Iowa were different from
those in Minnesota. The governor said
he thought the remedy lay in maxi
mum freight rate that would be fair
to the shipper and transportation
company and recommended legislative
investigation into the subject with this
end in view He urged adoption Of q

Governor Yates message was In part
as follows:
II am in hearty sympa thy with the
advocates Of the statute for reason
able merit system. All must acknow-
ledge the prime Importance of fitness
and experience in the appointment of
public officers and employees. To be
successful, practical, however. propos-
ed legislation must be reasonable, SEN
sible.
"If 1t is desirable to vote at the polls
on the same day thruout the state why
is not desirable to vote at the prirnar
les on a common day? Why not have
all the ward and township primaries
of all parties held on a given Mon
day, and the county conventions on the
next day. Tuesday, and the state con-
ventfon on the third day, Wednesday.
thus simplifying the whole matter? It
would keep every politician at home
and the colonizer and the walk
ing delegate politician would be
out of job and so give home rule. 1t
would remove from every contest the
hampering question of it's effects upon
other contests at other times AS to
the primaries, day is sure to come
when every man must vote his direct
choice, by. ballot, for both relegates
and candidates. The plan is American
republican and productive of honest
politics. sincerely hope to see 1t en-
acted into law at this session in some
form.
