OUTLINE Of WORK
IN CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.

With everything prepared for smooth
sailing Speaker Cannon in the house,
and Vice President Fairbanks, in the
senate, will only have to bring down
their gavels with resounding thump
at noon next Monday to start the leg
islativeship on it's short three months
cruise. This second session of the fifty
ninth congress will adjourn March 4.
Ou account of the many governments
supply bills to be passed it is extreme.
ly doubtful whether there will be .
chance for much general legislation.
There is strong probability, how.
ever, that river and harbor bill,
carrying about sixty million dollars.
will go through. The only obstacle
will be the possible opposition Of the
senate should the advocates Of the
ship subsidy measure in that body dc.
mand that it stand or fall with the
river and harbor bill.
SORAPPING ANTICIPATED.
Over these two measures and the
Philippine tariff bill the politicians
of the two houses will probably do
some scrapping. The administration
earnestly desiers the enactment Of the
house bill reducing the tariffs on Phil
ippine sugar, tobacco and rice to 25
per cent. of the Dingley rates, and ad.
mitting free all other Philippine pro.
ducts. The senate held the measure up
in the last session. If the subsidy ad-
vocates in the senate have their way
they will support the Philippine tariff
bill and the river and harbor measure.
which is to contain provision in
augurating the proposed deep water,
way from the lakes to the gulf.
BILLS TO COME UP.
Senator LaFolette's bill limiting the
hours of continusous labor for rail.
road employees will have the boards In
the senate next week, as the unfinish-
ed business, The eight hour and anti.
injunction measures. the demand for
which by organized labor prompted
the American Federation of Labor's
recent excursion into the political field
will come up for discussion during the
session. The eight hour bill has been
favorably reported by the house com.
mittee on labor. Speaker Cannon's op.
position has prevented it from being
placed before he house. The antrim
junction measure, which President
Roosevelt has promised the labor peo.
pie the will personally consider, Is
awaiting action at the hands Of the
judiciary committee of the house. Tho
chances for the passage of either are
said to be very slim.
TO WRITE MESSAGE.
The measure maxi ing more stringent
the rules governing the admission OF
aliens into this country will undoubt-
edly become law. The measure pas .
ed both houses and senate last session
and it is now awaiting completion at
the hands of conferees. Pure food and
rates will be discussed. Early
in the session President ROOSEVELT will
send special message to congress re.
lating to the Panama canal. The mem
bers will have something on campaign
frauds and the desirability of publicity
regarding campaign contributions.
Life insurance and fire insurance re-
forms will be discussed, but there Is
little chance of legislation concerning
these two matters in the present ses-
sion.

Two Puddle rlilIs Resume.

The old puddle mill of the Reading
Iron works started up yesterday morn
ing and Notwithstanding the long
time that it was idle the machinery
worked very nicely and ran without
hitch
The columns of smoke and steam is
suring from the south side of the big
plant presented familiar sight, which
was welcome enough after the five
months idleness.
Following the Fourth of July sever
al weeks were spent in making repairs
about the mill.so that everything now
is in good condition and ready for q
long and steady run.

DRIVERS MUST
Walk THEIR Horses

Iu few days notice will be con.
spicuously posted at each end of the
river bridge, which will give not only
automobilists but drivers of horses
quite jar. Each board will be some
4hx315 feet, the lettering being of
white on black surface so that any
one who "runs may read. " Follow
ing is the legend set forth for the
edification of those who use the
bridge:
''To drivers of horses. ETC..
Notice is hereby given that
any person or persons who
shall ride or drive across any
portion of this bridge faster
than walk shall forfeit or
pay a fine of not less than five
dollars nor more than thirty
dollars for each and every Of
fense. BY order of county
commissioners of Montour and
Northumberland counties. "
The board contains. n similar notice
to owners and drivers of automobiles,
who are warned not to operate or drive
any automobile or motor vehicle
across any portion of the bridge at a
speed greater than n mile in six min
utes, under penalty of fine not less
than ten dollars nor more than twenty
dollars.
The large boards or notices were
painted by Chris Hershey and were
delivered at the county commission
ers' office on Saturday. After some
slight alterations in workmanship they
will be posted at the bridge. The post
ing of the notices imposing these
rather radical restrictions upon drivers
is pursuant to action taken at a joint
meeting of the county commissioners
of Northumberland aud Montour coun-
ties recently and grew out of the abuse
of the bridge by automobilsts and
persons wishing to show off their
horses, who habitually used the bridge
as a speedway. The Montour county
board of commissioners might have
compromised on some rate of speed "a
trifie faster than a waikiki the main
tanning of any middle ground were
practicable in the premises-but the
Northumberland county board could
not see that compromise was practi-
cable and insisted on carrying out the
letter of the law in such cases made
and provided, or in other words on
holding all down to walk.
A great big kick will no doubt re-
suit from this action of the county
commissioners. During the year or
more that the bridge has been open
there has been no restrictions as to
speed. The horses have become ac-
customed to trotting across and it will
prove hard job to hold some of them
down to walk. The sweeping restric-
ious as to speed has of course been all
brought about by reckless aud incon-
siderate people, who are in the habit
of speeding their horses over the
bridge. Whether a slow or moderate
trot Injuries the bridge to any appreci-
able extent might be question but as
to the racing of horses or speeding of
automobiles through the driveway
there can be no difference of opinion.
The effect on the bridge is perceptible
at such times and no one can doubt
but injury must result.

''NIONITORSH|P"
IN HIGH SCHOOL

up for discussion in the school board
Monday. 1t was precipitated SEEM
ingly by whole lot of mis- under
standing about the system
Proceedings for while promised to
become stormy. After a while, how
ever, when all sides had been heard
and the subject had been talked over
soberly better feeling prevailed and
the majority of the members seemed
to think the system employed was not
Sc bad after all.
The matter was brought up by Mr..
Fischer, who demanded to know by
whose authority "self government"
was introduced into the high school.
He denounced the system, as it had
been reported to him, especially the
feature of one pupil marking for the
others.
Professor Taylor was present and
rose to explain. He denied that the
system introduced was "self govern
ment' as that term is understood. His
practice, he said, is merely to appoint
a pupil as monitor" TO keep his
eye on the school while the princip-
ais back is turned. He denied the re-
port current in some quarters that
these "monitors" do the marking, but
stated he in all instances does the mark
ing himself. He is gratified with the
excellent results following the expert
ment and clearly defined his position,
showing that there was a vast amount
of Misrepresentation.
Borough Superintendent Gordy, be.
ing called upon. stated that he was
watching the experiment being made
in the high school very closely and
was confident that it was perfect
success. He felt sure, he said. that
under the system Professor Taylor,
during the past five weeks, has been
doing better work than has been ac-
complished in the high school for
years past.
On motion of Mr.. Fischer it was
ordered that the teachers be paid for
county institute and one-half of the
month following.
On motion it was ordered that the
use of the high school be granted to
County Superintendent Derr for teach
ers' institute.
On motion it was ordered that the
schools close on November 2Sth, and
remain closed until December 10TH
Treasurer NJ. II. Schram presented
a statement of finances to date, which
showed net cash balance on hand of
$l3475 OF.
The treasurer reported that the school
districts of Liberty and Valley in
Montour county and Gearhart town
ship and Riverside borough in North
county have not yet, after
a period of ninety days, made settle
ment with the Danville school district
for nonresident pupils in the high
school. The several districts in arrears
represent 27 pupils.
On motion it was ordered that un-
less the above named districts settle
with the Danville school district by
the first of next month the treasurer
should give each of them notice that
unless payment is Immediately made
the pupils from these districts will be
sent home.
The following members were pres

Charles J. Bonaparte made an address in
which he sounded note of warning to Repub.
licans and set forth his ideas in opposition to
constitutional convention in 1907. He indica-
ted that he feared the dominant political party
now in power might resort to efforts to place
on the statute books measures that might be as
bad, or even worse, than the Poe amendment.
He also indicated that the Democrats, should a
constitutional convention be called, might ar
range things SO that the questions which
might come before the convention could be
forced upon the people without their being
permitted TO vote for them.

ORDER is gradually coming out of chaos in
San Francisco. Hope takes the place of de-
spair and rebuilding begins on a safer and more
beautiful plan. Lives cannot be restored, but
fortunately not so many have been lost as
could be supposed in a city of $4,000 people
which crumbed and burned in the twinkling
of an eye almost. Art treasures and heirlooms
cannot be replaced, but still the world is full
of adornment and within afew years apparent
ly nothing will seem lost in home, museum
and library. The sympathy and kindness of
the people have been touched as never before
We are a nation and not divisions marked by
state lines. In the end we will find blessings
as well as sad memories growing out of the
disaster.

DISPATCH from Wilmington, Del, dated
April 30th says: at was learned here today
that civil engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are making surveys for line to ex-
tend from Van Bibber, Md, to Sykesville, Md.
The road will be utilized as freight cutoff,
and it is stated that the Pennsylvania Railroad
will use it jointly with the Baltimore and Ohio
for this purpose. The Pennsylvania Railroad
recently arranged to build a freight cutof
from Stemmer's Run to Severn, Nd, but
obstacles arose. The proposed line, it is be-
lieved. will take the place of that projected"
The line referred to from Van Bibber to Sykes
vile is the one that passes through or near
Towson. The surveying crops has been at
work on in this section of the county several
months. 1t has been stated that the cutoff
will save about thirty miles in the shipment of
coal and other freight to the North.

Judge Keedy said Il know of no precedent

that if Fox, or any other complainant, shall
ask to be divorced more than thee times the
