Caught Il Bear.

a bear cub weighing 81 pounds was
caught alive by James T. Brady ON
his farm near Jamison City Saturday
morning. An old bear and three cubs
have been about that vicinity for some
time, their tracks have been found on
numerous occasions and several people
have seen them during the past couple
weeks. More than once the bears visit

set an iron trap for them. Saturday
morning in going out to the fields he

fast in the trap He then shot the

is GOOD YEAR
FOR PHEASANTS
HARRISBURG. Oct. II.


Dr kalbfus, secretary of the State
game commission, is receiving reports
from his wardens in different parts of
the State on the quantity of game thus
far observed, and all are of the most
encouraging character.
Pheasants will be plentiful every
where. sand DR.. Kalbfus this morn
ing. and especially in the southern
tier of counties In Adams county our
reports are that there are more pheas
ants there than have been for many
years
How about wild turkeys" was
asked
WILD TURKEYS NOT PLENTIFUL
I'm sorry 20 say that wild turkeys
are not plentiful, but there are some
seen along the Allegheny range and in
the north. What is most gratifying to
Us is that there are SO few violations
Of the game laws reported. 1t shows
that the people are taking an interest
in observing the laws, and are seeing
that others do so. There is but one
complaint now where there used to be
ten. -
Secretary Kalbfus has engaged from
private preserves in the northeastern
part Of the State sixty does for pro-
pagating purposes, and will place them
on the three forestry game reserva-
tions set apart on land owned by the
state. These reservations are located
i'm Cleardeli, Clinton and Franklin
counties. and are each about four miles
square in size. They are surrounded
by single wire fence, and intended
as a refuge for game.
RULES FOR RESERVATIONS.
The State game commission has
posted signs about thirty feet apart,
which read as follows:
No person shall for any purpose
within the limits of this wire hunt
for or shoot, or in any way intention
ally modest or disturb game of any
kind OF any wild bird protected by the
laws Of Pennsylvania.
The land surrounded by this wire
and these notices is owned by the
Commonwealth and has been set apart
by the department of forestry for the
use of the game commission.
The purpose is TO give wild birds a
haven of refuge into which they can
retreat and be safe at all times, thus
giving that feeling of peace and Sc
curity that is necessary to its most ex-
tensive increase, i'll the hope that the
increase thus fostered will overflow
into adjoining territory where it may
be taken in the open season as fixed by
law.
The close season for all the of re-
seryations has been fixed at six years
from July 3, 1906, and violators will
b. prosecuted.

Reports of another murder at Ber-
wick eminated in man being found
dead along the ID. l.. q w. tracks at
that place, in the rear of the Berwick
water works Tuesday morning.
The man was James DoIan of Halle

what known in this section. At first
some mystery surrounded the death,
but an examination by Deputy Coron-

the matter, and death was found to
have been caused by iation-due

ashes from the pumping station on
which he had evidently laid down to

ton on Friday to secure work, and be-
ing unsuccessful. went to Wilkes
Barre, returning to Berwick Monday.

Dove FLOWERS AND
BUNCH OF BANANAS

Among other improvements at the
hospital for the insane the greenhouses
have been greatly altered and enlarg
ed, which not only make them moro
nearly adequate to supply the demand
for flowers, but also improve their APP
pearance and make them really one of
the most striking groups of buildings
on the hospital grounds.
The building known as the palm
house has been entirely rebuilt on the
old foundation, being raised during
the process to nearly double its form
er height 1t is now twenty feet to the
caves, with a high and very slanting
roof. The entire surface, end, and
roof, comprising about 1900 square
feet, is formed of glass and the recon-
structed palm house rises from the
centre of the group like a crystal tow

Just at present one form of attraction
is some beautifully formed dove flow
ers, which, although in bloom for
some time, are still in a good state of
preservation. The dove flower is prob
ably one of the greatest marvels in the
| floral kingdom and is very rare. The
| flower, which is richly fragrant, is SNOW
white in color; it is not large, being
about an inch and half in diameter

none grown nearer Danville than Phil

ham has cultivated dove flowers for l3
years and has been very successful.
! He has three large plants which have
! been in bloom for about two months
and are very beautiful specimens.
Another product at the hospital
greenhouse, which is something of a
J curiosity, is a banana plant. This has
attained height of some five feet and
is bearing bunch OF bananas. The
banana of commerce has become very
familiar, but few people lave any cor
rect idea of just how it grows. The
plant at the hospital, therefore is a
good object lesson to show what the

ADVANCE TIPS
ON WINTER

With winter approaching the chiefs
of the United States weather Bureau
are stirring themselves to ascertain if
possible, whether a severe and stormy
season may be expected In conjunc-
tiOn with the American meterologists,
those Of France and England are max
ing experiments. Up to the present
India is the only country in the world
in which seasonable or long distance
predictions have been successfully
made
The method there i'll vogue is local,

SOME OF THE PREDICTIONS.
But while scientists are Investigate
ing, farmers and mariners have other
guides that have been tested from time
immemorial The homely woodpecker
knows instinctively what is in store
for it. When he leaves for the south
cold weather is assured. When he
pecks low on trees the farmer says we
will have a warm winter. But when
the ivory billed woodpecker begins to
peck low on the trees and pecks all the
way to the top, taking all the bark off,
look for a hard winter and deep snow,
say our agricultural friends.
Another prediction is contained in
the familiar rhyme:

If the November goosebone he thin.
So will the weather be.
