AN IMPORTANT LAW.
Providing for the Checking of Contagious
Diseases Among Animals.

A bill of special importance to
persons interested IN live stock
has been approved by Gov. Pen
nypacker. 1t provides for the
checking of contagious diseases
among domestic ANIMALS, and the
protection of milk supplies from
contamination. The new law re-
quires that all veterinary doctors
shall promptly report in writing
the details of their knowledge of
the existence of such a disease to
the Live Stock Sanitary Board.
All other persons, as we'll as
doctors, are orbidden to conceal
any knowledge of that kind from
a member or agent of the board.
Diseased animals must be kept
off the public highways, and away
from the animals of the same
species. Without permission
from a member or agent OF the
board no virus or substance con.
tainlng dlsease-producing germs
shall be injected into or admins
tered to any animal that may pro
duce or is to be used as hu-
man food. An exception is
made in calves ur cattle for the
production of vaccine against
smallpox. The MAXIMUM pay
ments by the State for animals
that must be destroyed shall be {.
For a horse or mule, $40; for a
bovine animal of pure bred or
registered stock, $50, and for
such an animal as com mon stock,
S25; and for sheep or pig, 80.
But in no case shall the appraise-
ment exceed three fourths of the
acCual value or the animal. Inc
States payment for such pur-
poses are limited to $4,000 a
year.
The State Board may co. o.oper-
ate with any local Board of Health
IN protecting milk supplies, aud
may bear one-half of the cost of
necessary examinations beyond
the local jurisdiction. The penal
ty for violating any provision of
the act is fine of from so to
500, with costs, or commitment
until the amount is paid" The
act takes effect June 1st, this
year.

Good News For Fulton.

In the absence of modern facil-
tiles for transporting heavy
freight, the citizens OF Fulton
county, have shown a listless in
difference IN the matter of devel-
oping her underground treasures
of gold, silver, copper, coal, and
graphite. The matter of hauling
it across the mountain to the rail.
road tor shipment, has always
been barrier in the way of the
opening of our undeveloped
wealtk.
Their attention is now directed
to the fact that recent quotations
show that radIum has advanced
to price that should be attract
i've to producers. Three million
dollars an ounce is now what II
readily brings IN cash; and when
it is considered that the Sheets
Transmonte Transportation Line
only charges fifteen cents a hun
.dred pounds for freight to Mer-
cersburg station, 1t may be read
lily seen that a few million dollars
worth Of the stuff could be sent
across the mountain for five
cents.
1t is suggested that the Fulton
ians leave their other valuable
minerals IN the ground, and turn
their attention to the locating Of
radium clay. The other minera
ore in their soil will help to sci
their farms when the timber is
ali off, and their executors come
to dispose of 1t for the benefit o.
their heirs.

ASSOCIATE PRESByTERIANS.
Annual Session OF Synod Held in Great
Cove Church During Past Week.

The annual session of the Synod
of the Associate Presbyterian
church was opened in the Great
Cove church, four miles south of
McConnellsburg. last Wednes.
day morning. Rev. S. B. Hous.
ton, pastor of the local church,
was chosen moderator to succeed
Rev. W. p. Gilkey, of Stafford,
Kansas.
The synod is the highest judic-
ial body in their church. The
work for consideration at this
meeting was finished by Tuesday
evening, and it was decided to
hold the next annual session at
Mansfield, o., beginning on the
fourth Wednesday of May, 1906.
In 1858 the United Presbyter-
ian church was formed by a un-
ion of the Reformed Presbyter-
ian and the Associate Presbyter-
ian bodies. AS it not unfrequent-
ly happens when church unions
are attempted, there are few
persons who cannot see their way
clear to follow the action of the
majority; and in this case, a few
congregations did not enter into
the union.
From that time until the pres
ent-forty-s y-seven years, the AS.
soclate Presbyterian church has
maintained its identity. 1t has
thir teen ministers, distributed
as follows; FIVE in Pennsylvania,
four in Iowa, two in Kansas, one
in Indiana, and one IN Canada.
There are twenty-four churches:
eight in Pennsylvania, five in
Iowa, four IN Kansas, three IN
Indiana, two in Illinois, one IN
Ohio, and one IN Canada, with a
communicate membership of
about one Thousand.
Outside the fact that they. hold
strictly to close communion,
psalm singing, and will not per-
NIT any kind Of instrumental
music IN connection with wor-
ship, they might as we'll be in the
United Presbyterian church; for
in the latter church there would
be nothing to hinder their continr
uing the practices now observed
in their own church. While the
United Presbyterians hold to the
psalmody, it is a matter with the
individual congregation whether
they shall have close or open com
munion; or whether they shall
use the organ or not.
After separation of more than
a hundred years, the Presbyter-
ian and the Cum berland Presby-
terian churches, both strong
organizations, are about to unite,
and throughout the whole body
of Professionalism the spirit of
union Is rapidly developing, and
at no other time has the different
branches of the protestant church
marched more closely and united
ly in the effort for the evangelical
ton of the world, than now.

A CURE FOR HAY FEVER.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Sufferers from
hay fever are viewing with consterna-
ton the fourishing srops Of rag-weed
and golden rod, nurtured into luxurien
growth in pastures by the heavy rains,
can find message of cheer in the re-
port which Consul General Guenther
of Germany has just submitted. This
contains the statement that a serum,
or antitoxin, known as "pollantine,'
is an efficacious remedy for the disease.
"Pollantine" is the discovery Of DR..
Dunbar, director medical institute in
Hamburg and is applied to the nose
and eyes.
"Pollantine has been used in the
United States for the last two years, .
said DR.. ]. B. Haeberlin last night, in
commenting on Consul Guenthers re-
port "As early as remember the
statistics, 25 per cent Of the patients
have shown marked Improvement,
from 30 to 35 per cent partial improv-
ment and others no beneficial result

that the poorer classes cannot use 1t,

my pratice it cannot by be any means
be called specific for hay fever.
