Will Monopolize Court.

Mount Carmel viii practically mon.
opolize the attention of the judges and
officials at the sessions of criminal
court to begin at Sunbury the first
Monday in May
Mt Carmel Will have almost nifty
cases, all developed since the term of
court held in February.
The list includes cases representing
almost every known crime, from mali
cious mischief, one of the lightest of
the minor Otfenses, TO murder, the
worst of the major crimes. There is a
manslaughter case, two of highway
robbery, one of criminal malpractice,
several of assault and battery, also
some Of aggravated assault and battery
with intent to kill, speakeasy case,
and even a witchcraft case.
The latter case is one of the oldest
known, and is quite novelty for the
present officials 1t grows out of the
defense to be made by Walter Heavy,
now lodged III jail on a charge of bur
glarizing the Parsick home on Vine
street, Mt Carmel
Heavy's friends allege that the pros
ecution against him was instituted
because of information" CLEANED
from the incantations of several for
tune tellers. They claim that Mrs.
Miller, of Ashland, and other alleged
fortune tellers held seances at the Par
sick home to discover the identity of
the burglar, and that the witches
said the guilty man was Heavy No
doubt the story will be vigorously
denied, but nevertheless the case is in
teresting.

No Personal Services.

The various superintendents of the
Pennsylvania railroad have been Motif
ed that in the future they Will be com
PEELED to purchase their coal supplies
through the general market, the rail
road company refusing to sell it to
them any longer at reduced rates.
They were also told that hereafter
they must not use railroad employees
for personal services such as making
repairs around their homes and sim
liar employment as has been the Gus
tom in the past. In place Of these re-
strictions the superintendent have all
received an increase in their salaries.

CONSIDER
THESE CASES

Notwithstanding the vigilance OF the
truant officer there is now and then a
case which in the very nature of
things he is unable to cope with. The
truant not unusually combines along
with the indolent needless qualities
that make a poor student of him an
astute and crafty nature which makes
him an adept in eluding the officer,
There are cases, therefore. where the
truant simply has the best of il and
the records at school show up badly
on that account.
When truantS of this nature have
parents or guardians, no matter how
Indifferent, there is some hope. as these
people under threat of arrest can be
induced to cooperate with the officer.
But when il happens that the boys are
without parents and there is no one
responsible for them it is altogether
another matter and whether they are
at school or not depends upon whether
they want to 20 or the truant officer
is able to catch them in daily chase
about town and terri ory adjacent
thereto " Two of such pieces of hu-
man driftwood without any one direct
~ responsible for them the officer has
on his list at present and the boys 60 to
school when they want to. which is
seldom.
The question arises whether i'll such
cases something should not be done
that would be effectual in bringing
the boys under restraint and prevent
them from pursuing a course that will
be sure to make vagabonds of them.
Why does not someone upon whom
such duties devolve take the boys in
hand and if it is necessary to send
them TO some institution where they
Will have to obey the laws that govern
other people, then let it be done. I'm
der proper restraint there would at
least be half chance that the boys
would develop into lawabiding and
useful citizens.

ON THE RAILROADS.

The congestion of freight trains on
the Pennsy, which held up things about
South Danville only a week or so ago,
seems to be no longer in evidence. In
fact quite falling off of freight is re-
ported
On the 2. & r. apparently there is
no diminution of traffic, although it
is noticed that on all trains there are
more empty cars than loaded ones
This is because in view of a probabiI-
ity of coal strike on all the lines the
foreign cars are being sent back to the
roads to which they belong. The p.
& K. company is shipping its own
empty cars to Newberry Junction and
to the coal region, where they will be
kept until needed.

HAVE YOU money
Then FUMIGATE IT

Bankers OF Pennsylvania will at
once get ready to fumigate all money
that passes through their hands. and
from a health point of view this is the
proper thing in order to ward off con
tagiOn.
State Health Commissioner Samuel
G. Dixon viii call upon bank officials
Throughout Pennsylvania to assist him
in checking the spread of disease by
taking the precaution to fumigate
money before it passes out of the
bank S hands.
Dir. Dixon has found disease produc-
ing germs on filthy paper money in
circulation and says that undoubtedly
many cases of communicable disease
throughout the State must be traceable
to infected money.
He has prepared the following cir
cuIar letter to be sent to every bank
III the State which he believes will
not only prevent infection but be of
direct benefit to the institution itself
as a business proposition.
" As the germs of disease are found
in money in circulation, the depart
ment Of health respectfully suggests
and requests that you cooperate with
1t IN the protection of the health of
our people by fumigating all money
received by your bank before it is
again put i'll circulation. Such a pre-
| cautlonary measure, 1 am confident,
viii avoid many cases of sickness and
death III your community.
The disinfection of money NAV be
accomplished by spraying with a form
aldehyde solution or exposing to the
fumes of formaldehyde gas. :"
Dr. DiXon's attention was called to
lhe Importance of washing and disin-
fecting money through the action of a
bank in the eastern part of the State,
which invariably fumigates all of the
paper money that passes through its
hands thus insuring immunity from
disease germs. This was a pretty good
idea. and led the State health COM
missioner to send out the above cir
cular. Another bank in the western
part of the State gives a bath to the
dirty paper money that it receives. 1t
places the notes in a basin of clean
water, and in a short time the ac-
cumulated filth scales off and the note,
after being dried, becomes crisp and
clear as if just issued from the print
ing press.

After Mr.. f. G. Delbaugh, of Lower
Augusta township, Northumberland
county, attended market at Sunburv
Saturday morning he learned that af-
ter he had left home fire broke out in
his smoke house which was consumed
with quantity Of meat in it, the fire
communicating with an adjoining
chicken house, which was also burned
with a number of fowls. Although
these buildings were not far from his
residence the latter was not ignited.
No one was at home but Mrs. Del
bough. The fire evidently originated
from material that was being burned
for the smoking of meat.

DanYiIle Defeated.

Fresh from a conquering tour
through the West, where they earned
the title of champions of the United
States, the Tamaqua basket ball play
ers came to Danville MONDAY evening
and easily took the locals into camp.
1t is doubtful if such brilliant bask-
ct ball was ever seen in Danville as
the Tamaqua boys put up at that time.
The locals, too, We're playing good
ball. and made the champions work
for each point. In the first part of the
second half especially the Danville
boys for while out passed and out
tossed Tamauua, but the squirt soon
passed off and the visitors once more
started forging ahead. Fogarty, one
of Tamaqua's forwards, that night won
the distinction Of making a record for
goal throwing in one game, tossing 27
baskets. Score was lO3-4S.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Mill street was thronged Saturday
night as it had not been for months
previously. 1t was the first Saturday
night on which the weather was any
thing like agreeable and the weather
conditions as well as the approach of
Easter had the effect of bringing out a
crowd. The spectacle, indeed, was a
most enlivening one after the dull
season, III which few persons appear
ed upon the streets that were not bent
upon business. The stores wore their
gaycst Easter attire and presented a
beautiful appearance. That the merch-
ants did a good business goes without
saving.

LEGAL CAMPAIGN
EXPENSES

There are many inquiries as to what
are Legitimate election expenses under
the corrupt practice act passed at the
recent extra session of the legislature.
The act defines them as follows:
1. For printing and travelling ex-
penses and personal expenses incident
thereto, stationery, advertising, post
age, eXpressage, freight, telegraph,
telephone and other public messenger
service.
2. For dissemination of information
to the public
3. For political meetings, demon
strations and conventions and for Che
pay and transportation of speakers.
4. For the rent, maintenance and
furnishing of offices

these eight exceptions. Considerable
latitude is allowed as NAV be seen.
All the expenditures permitted are
perfectly Legitimate however. There
are some things that both candidates
and political committees must do. and
there Is no purpose in the new law
to interfere with anything that NAV
be proper to promote the interests of
candidate or party. The purpose is
to prevent the corrupt Ues of money in
politics, TO prevent the purchase or
support through bribery, either with
money, or other valuable thing, such.
for instance, as the promise of fut-
ure office. 1t puts in more definite
form the principles of acts which
have been in existence for many wears
The law provides for an accounting
by which the candidate and the trea-
surer of the party committee must
state under oath just how much money
has been expended and give the details
of such expenditure. In fact the state
ment must be itemiZed, and the law
rtates very clearly what are legitimate
expenses. Furthermore, every expense
account incurred by a candidate for a
state office must be nled with the sec
retary of the commonwealth. and can
dldates for other offices must file with
the clerk of the court Of quarter scs-
sions.
Chief Clerk Bartho has now in course
