Missing Boy Causes Alarm.

The residents of the second ward
were much stirred up Monday morn
ing over the disappearance of ten
year-old boy, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Buckley, who reside on Cooper
street. The little fellow, whose name
is William, disappeared on Sunday af
ternoon and by Monday morning the
parents were in dreadful state of
suspense.
One story was to the effect that the
boy was seen bathing i'll the river at a
late hour, while another told of his
crossing the river bridge during the
evening Whether the boy had drown
ed, had left town or was detained from
home in some other way, there was no
way of telling and yesterday the faith
er laid the matter before the chief of
police.
Officer MincemOyer telephoned to
Catawissa and Sunbury but the i'm
mediate response was not encouraging
Later, however, Mr.. Buckley manag-
ed to reach some relatives in Sunbury
by phone and was overjoyed to learn
that his boy was with them, safe and
sound. The story that he had been
seen on the river bridge Sunday even
ing proved true and the little fellow
had walked all the way to Sunbury.
Mr.. Buckley went to Sunbury on the
l2:10 train Monday and brought the
boy along home.

Theodore Foetn ana William G.

They were enlisted for coast artillery
and this morning will be sent to Fort

There are still plenty of applicants
but enlistments take place slowly. In
all only four have been accepted into
the service since the recuiting office
was opened in Danville. Corporal
Cohen yesterday stated that, allowing
for 20 per cent reflections, five enlist
ments month is considered about the

William f. Lcafey and Michael J.
Leafey, of this city, also wanted to en-
list but they fell a trifle short in
weight. Their case was held under ad
visement for several days.
Each of the recruits, as soon as en-
listed, are vaccinated so as to be i'm
mune from small pox. Messrs Poeth
and Heislcr yesterday afternoon were
inoculated by DR. Stock and among

Dixon Urges Prompt Attention.

Just previous to Fourth of July last
year State Health Commissioner Sam
uel G. Dixon through the public press
of Pennsylvania called the attention
OF the people to the great danger of
lock Jaw (tetanus) from wounds of tov
pistols and other explosives, and he
urged the necessity of immediate med
ical attendance in such cases. That
the warming was widely needed was
shown by the great reduction in the
number of tetanus cases following
Fourth Of July accidents. Indeed there
were reported only a few scattered
cases throughout the whole State.
Health Commissioner Dixon again
sends out warming message in an
ticipation of the coming Fourth.
"The germ which produces tetanus
grows best buried in the flesh away
from the air, . says Dr. Dixon, land
this germ which is found in earth, in
the dust and in horse stables, and
sometimes suspended in the air in
windy localities, lodges easily in the
small, clean cut wound made for in
stance by the blank cartridge.
What l wish to impress upon every
one, especially mothers, is the very
great seriousness of these wounds if
they are not promptly and properly
treated by those with full knowledge
Of the subject. Early treatment by a
physician will often prevent the de
velopment of tetanus. Therefore, "a
doctor should be called at once to treat
a penetrating wound even if slight,
such as powder or other explosives are
apt to make. In case of prolonged de-
lay in ortaining the services of a ply
sician competent druggist or trained
nurse might thoroughly wash the
wound and apply hot antiseptics. -

HARRY ELLENBOGEN,
Appealing TO DIR. Dixon.

The old canal, which is such nuls-
ance and "A menace in Danville is also
a dreadful annoyance TO the people of
bloomsbury. At that place the citi-
zens have addressed a numerously sign
ed petition to State Health Commits
sloneI Or. Samuel Dixon, representing
that the abandoned canal by reason of
the the stagnant water it contains, is a
menace to public health and request
ing that the State board of health take
such steps as will Immediately abate
the nuisance.
Danville has already appealed to the
State board of health, not through a
numerously signed petition, il is true,
hut through the local board of health,
"A medium which should be as effec-
tive. The response, however, was not
OF a sort to inspire much confidence
among our citizens.
DR.. Dixon, accepting the facts as
presented merely stated that, if the
canal was nuisance, the owners
should be obliged to abate it. Should
they refuse TO do so, DIR. !Dixon sug-
gested that the borough make such i'm
provements as necessary and enter a
lien upon the canal property. The local
authorities were not impressed with
the practicability of this scheme and
nothing was done in the premises.
The situation at Bloomsbury is not
nearly 50 bad as at Danville, as the
canal instead of intersecting the heart
of the town as here merely affects the
outlying portions. However, if the
situation there calls for such prompt
and determined measures surely Dan
Vile can not afford to remain passive
in the matter Nearly a year has elaps-
ed since the matter vas laid before the
State board Of health. Ii might be a
good thing to take up the subject
again Dr. Dixon might have some
thing new to offer.

FOURTH ATTEMPT
WAS SUCCESSFUL

Mrs Daniel Cooper, a resident of
Northumberland, after three unsuc-
cesstul attempts, instantly killed her
self Saturday morning by shooting
herself with a revolver.
Mrs. Cooper lived with her husband
at the Kessler house in Northumber-
land. Mr.. Cooper is employed in the
Pennsylvania freight station at Sha-
mokin and was there when his wife
fired the fatal shot
On Saturday morning Mrs Cooper
came down stairs from her room at the
hotel, between seven and eight O'Clock
and meeting Maggie Crothers asked
her to walk along up the Pennsylvania
railroad track saying she wanted to
try and find some keys which she had
lost. During the walk Mrs. Cooper
appeared to be jolly and in a good
humor. Returning to the hotel about
nine O'Clock, she went to her room ac-
companied by Miss Crothers. After
talking for a few minutes she went to
boarder's room and secured loaded
revolver from a dress suit case. Con-
cealing the revolver she returned to
her room and after locking the door
turned and said to Miss Crothers, "I'm
going to shoot myself. " Miss Croth-
ers thought she was only fooling but
pointing the revolver at herself Mrs.
Cooper pulled the trigger. The first
shot missed her body and she fired a
second time. When the second shot
missed she deliberately placed the
muzzle of the revolver against her left
breast and exclaiming, Dan, Dan,
Dan, ~ fired the third shot. Miss
Crothcrs, who was almost frantic.
rushed toward Mrs. Cooper saying,
For Gods sakL Cora, don t do that -
and Mrs. Copoer replied, "Go away,
90 away, " and fell forward to the
floor.
DR.. @. f. Rutter was summoned but
Mrs. Cooper was dead when he arriv-
ed, the bullet having penetrated her
heart.
Mrs. Cooper lad made three other
attempts to take her own life. About
ten days ago she waded into the river
at Island park but found the water too
cold and returned to shore On We'd
nesday of last week she tried to throw
herself from the river bridge but was
saved by her husband who had follow
ed her. On Friday she attempted to
hurl herself beneath a freight train in
Sunbury but was prevented by some
persons standing nearby.
Before her marriage Mrs. Cooper
was Miss Cora Adams and her parents
reside near Lewisburg.

IMPROVEMENTS ON
s. Il. 4 v. DIVISION

While the laying Of a double track
along the s. H. & W. railroad said to
have been in view years ago, has not as
yet been accomplished, it is neverthe-
less true that very extended improve
ments are on foot or are contemplated
along that division.
The S. II. & W. division has extern
siye sidings, which are being extended
from time to time with the result that
it will not be very long until there
Will be practically a double track
much of the way between South Dan
Vile and Sunbury. Work at present
is III progress extending the already
long siding that reaches from South
Danville westward. The ground ex-
cavated is hauled up to Blue hill and
dumped over the bank there for the
purpose of widening and strengthen
ing the road bed preparatory to i'm
provements at that point.
Different farmers along the division
have been approached by representa-
tives of the company to see on what
terms land could be bought for pur-
pose of laying additional track,
strengthening out curves, etc. EXten-
sive improvements of this sort, it ap-
pears, the company has in view above
Boyd's station. y proposition has been
made to Amos Vastine looking to the
purchase of some five acres of land in
cluding his tenent house near the rail
road
If enabled to carry out their plans at
this point not only will the curve in
the track be abolished, but the wagon
road between the railroad and the riv-
er, will be removed above the rail
road. When it is considered that the
land wanted for such improvements
constitutes the most valuable part of
the farms intersected it will readily be
seen that the cost of the ground will
be a heavy item. Some of the farmer,
fix the damages as high as two thou
sand dollars.
