S.RIOUS RUNAWAY
ACCIDENT

Rev. J. d. Cook and wife. of Re
novo, both former residents of this
city. wore painfully injured Sunday
evening about 8 80 O'Clock by being
thrown from q sleigh. The accident
happened while the Clergyman aud his
wife were returning from one Of the
Presby terian churches of which he is
the pastor. The horse frightened at
passing train, and turning quickly,
pset the sleigh. Mr. Cook had three
ribs broken and Mrs. Cook sustained
fracture Of one arm.
Every Sunday afternoon Rev. Mr..
Cook conducts services at North Bend,
about three miles from Remove, and Ii
was while returning from his weekly
visitation that their sleigh was over
taken by an east bound passenger train.
The horse frightened at the noise made
by the engine, and turning, started to
run away. The sleigh was upset and
both Mr. and Mrs. Cook thrown out.
They were taken to their home at Re-
novo and given medical attention. Be-
side the injuries mentioned, both suf-
fered from the shock and were badly
bruised.
Rev. Mr.. Cook and wife are well
known In Dsnville, both having resi-
ded in this city. Mr.. Cook was at
one time q teacher in the public schools
here, and was County Superintendent
for one term. He was to have oflioiat-
ed at the Evaugelistic meetings at the
East End Mission next week.

About Two Dams.

UD in Luzerne county they are rails
ing money to pay the expense of tear
ing out the Nantiooke dam. 1t belongs
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, which has no use for it and is
willing to sell it for the purpose of
its removal. The reason for wanting
to remove it is that it is believed to
be responsible for the floods which
have caused so much damage between
Nsnticoke and Wikesbarre during the
last several years. While the people
up there are desirous of removing that
dam, and are willing to pay the ex-
Dense, the residents of Sunbury would
be willing to incur the cost Of recon
structing the dam at this place II they
had the cash. The circumstances ar
different at the two places At Nsntl-
coke the town will he protected tron
floods by the removal of the dam. AT
Sunbury the situation as regards flood
would be safer if the dam which ha>
been broken sholld be rebuilt. There
is a wide difference in these dam ques-
tions. -Sunbury Item.

AS to CoIoring Butter.

The American Uairyman. which il
published in New York, takes up the
cudgel for the coloring of butter. 1t
contends that the Pure Food Depart.
ment of this State has no right to pro-
hibit the sale of colored butter. that
there is no law to prevent it, and that
the people. the consumers, insist that
their butter be always oolored.
The Pure Food Department can safe
ly be left to deal with the legal side
of the question. In seeking to prove
the popular demand for the oolored
product the Dairyman says:
White butter, resembling lard
will not appeal TO the appetite
of the public, and they will
have none of it. This has been
shown by the great falling off
in the sale of unColored oleo.
Proving that the people will not buy
uncoloTed butter, by pointing to fall
ing off in the sales of uneolored oleo,
is something new and refreshing. No
doubt the DairymAn could stimulate
the sale OF butter by advocating the
more general use of oleo. That is,
providing it could bring the people to
that stage of sophistioation which
would enable them to distinguish the
difference between butter and oleo
whether bought from farmers, dairy
men or QrOcerS

RESULTS OF EFFORTS
FOR GOOD ROADS

In his statement to Governor Penny
packer of the workings of the State
Highway Department during 1904
! Highway Commissioner Hunter reports
satisfactory progress. The last Legis-
lature appropriated $500, 900, to be
expended in six years as provided for
in the Sproul Good Roads bill.
During the year 9.25 miles of road
were completed. There is now under
construction 80 Al miles of good road,
and under contract 81. 30 miles of road.
Bids have been received, but the con-
tracts not yet executed for 33 81 miles
OF road, and other mileage under con.
sideration makes total of 1870 81 niles
of road in the one year. The depart
ments also supervised the construction
in Bucks County of about twenty fl We
miles Of road
Commissioner Hunter makes a num-
ber of recommendations, among them
that all applications for road improve
ments be filed with the department by
the 3lst Of May in each year; that
money apportioned to counties in the
previous year ana not applied for be
apportioned to the counties that have
an excess Of applications for the cur
rent year; and that the office force of
the department should have at least six
more civil engineers.
Commissioner Hunter thinks there
should be at least three supervisors in
each township. one being elected each
year, and says:
In some cases supervisors have
made application for road improve
ments and those who have succeeded
them in office have attempted to re-
pudiate the action of their predeces-
sors, causing no end of trodble and an
noyanCe. In some cases the supervis-
petitioned by the property owners in
the township. The time is rapidly ap.
| preaching when the work tax in road
repairs in the various townships will
be abolished. Of the 81, 500, 900 levied
and collected for road purposes one
half is practically wasted or thrown
away. Under the work tax method
the township pays one dollar for fifty
| cents worth Of work "

rIonument to Governor Pollock.

The press of Milton aud 3unbury are
urging the erection of q monument to
James Pollock, native of Milton, the
first Republican Governor of PenDsyl-
vania, aud the most famous of North
umberland Countys sons.
The propriety of it is predicated up
on the claim that monuments have
been erected in memory of other gov
ernors, who were his predecessors as
well as successors in the gubernatorial
Off Q There is visibility in such a
claim, but it las more substantial
basis than that. 1t would be a just
tribute TO one Of the best and purest
governors this state has ever had. 1t
would be fitting recognition of the
worth of q man who filled honorably
and usefully every position he ever
occupied, whether public or private.
James Pollock was one OF the most
distinguished-p probably the most dis
tinguished parsonage that Nothumber-
land county ever produced. A brilli-
ant lawyer, and able and just judge, a
distinguished member Of congress aud
a governor who reflected additional
honor upon that exalted station-these
were the distinctions that gave him
pre-eminenoe among the sons of that
county.

and one hundred and six have united
with the church on probation. Of this
number ninety eight are adults and of
this number fifty-two are men and
many OF them heads of families. THIS
evangelistic effort is all the more re-
markable when it is remembered that
as a result of the meeting year ago
one hundred and three united with the
chprJh. The pastor, Rev. o. G. Heck,
has had sole charge OF these services.
Unusually large congregations were
present yesterday, In the evening the

lowed.

the mems meeting. at which fully one
hundred were present and a well at
tended meeting for women and young
people.
In the evening the pastor preached
from Mark 8: 36-97. There were six
penitents at at the altar, four conveI-
sions and three arose for prayers. One
person was received into the church by
certificate and a class of twenty eight
