MRS. CAMPLELL'S
BAD ACCIDENT

Mrs. Clarence Campbell of near
Rushtown met with most unfortun-
ate accident while in this city Satur-
day, as the result of which she will
be unable to move about except with
the aid of crutches for many months
to come.
Mrs. Campbell, along with her hus-
band, drove into town Saturday morn
ing. She was doing some shopping and
was just coming out of the Globe
Warehouse when she slipped and fell
on the stone step, which was wet and
slippery as the result of the recent
rain.
Oddly enough the accident was of
the rare sort sustained by our towns
man, Frank G. Schoch, at the We'll
liver hardware building about month
ago. Mrs. Campbell's left ankle was
dislocated and as the foot was turned
over the strain was so great OH the
tough band of tissue uniting the
bones or forming the joint that it was
torn loose from the fibula or orter bone
of the lower limb. AS the ligaments
were torn loose they carried with them
pieces of the bone itself, which will
have to be held firmly in place until
they grow fast. In addition to the dis
location, therefore, it will be seen
that the injury is essentially a frac-
ture or worse.
Mrs. Campbell was carried into the
Globe store, where DR.. Patten was
called The dislocation was reduced
and the injury was temporarily band
aged, after which Mrs. Campbell was
removed to her home. Sunday the
bone was set and bandagcd by DR..
Patten. Such injuries are regarded as
more serious than common fracture
and it will no doubt be six months be-
fore the woman will be able to get
along without the aid of crutches.

A Bright Essay on "Boys.' >

The following essay on 'Boys" was
submitted to a teacher of the Danville
public schools last week by one of the
little girl pupils. The little lady
strikes some thoughts that would be
credit to an older mind
Boys are the worst thing imagin-
able. espesaly when you live with
them, do not, but had enough of
them when my three boy cousins came
over to spend the summer with me-
81 have also heard that boys are
very daring they cause their parent or
guardian much trouble and sometimes
make them very axious.
Boys also were out thier clothing
very soon.
"When boys are ten or eleven years
old they start to smoke and then they
do think they are very big when they
go putting along the street and when
they meet girl they blow the smoke
in her face, at least some boys do.
Before l started to school | had
a mother goose book and it said in
it that boys were made of snaps and
snails and all other things like that
and [ beleave that it is true. -.

WILL REPLACE
DEFECTIVE BRICKS

Contractor ID. j. Rogers, who put
down the brick paving on Mill street,
during the present antumn will proba-
bly, enter upon the important work of
replacing the defective brick, which
have become apparent in great num-
bers in the comparatively short period
of time that the paving has been
down.
A word as to these defective brick
There is much relating to them that
the public does not understand. That
they exist in great numbers apparent
ly out of all proportion to the good
ones, no one will deny. At the same
time both the borough and the con-
tractor are amply protected and there
is nothing about the purchase of the
highly recommended "paving blocks"
to suggest "gold brick" transac-
tion.
The borough council selected the
brick. The contractor is responsible
for the condition of the street for a
period of two years, which will expire
next June. The company furnishing
the brick or paving blocks is under
bond to replace all defective ones for
a period of ten years.
The only thing that might invite
criticism is the fact that so many
bricks have shown up faulty. Along
many portions of the street there is
not square yard of surface that does
not reveal broken or crumbling brick
and that, too, where no especial pres
sure has been brought to bear. The
council contracted for first class brick.
If it got Seconds, while unfortun-
ate enough, barring the trouble in
/ cidental to replacing broken brick,
the borough will be to no extent the
! loser.
Contractor ID J. Rogers appeared
before council at it's last meeting and
stated that he is ready at any time to
overhaul the street.

MONTOUR RIDGE
RESPLENDgNT

Within few days past the landscape
has blossomed forth into fairyland.
The hues of crimson, and gold clothe
grove and mountain side and the
streets of town where Shade abounds be
come long vistas overarched with
autumnal glory.
Montour Ridge never appeared more
resplendent. Here are seen all the rare
warm colors of the American forest at
autumn, among which appear in pleas
ing contrast the emerald hues of the
spruce and pine. 1t is picture that is
repeated over and over, wherever the
mountains bear aloft their dense robe
of foliage and the valleys sleep under
the shade of grove and forest.
This is the time to travel abroad
to take long journeys, or, if time and
means will not permit, to make little
excursions into the country-if we
would fall under the spell of earth S
greatest charm and realize how this
old planet at times can hide it's dross
and ugliness and lift its plodding mass
of humanity into realms akin to dream
land.
The glory that earth has taken on
will be short-lived The leaves, Grim
son and gold today, will be russell to-
morrow, or next week. During the
cold rains of early November they
will be torn from the branches and be
driven before the merciless blast into
the lonely and by places of earth, while
the stately trees now clothed with
spectres with their naked branches out
lined against the leaden winter sky.

Experimenting With Chestnuts.

The department of agriculture at
Harrisburg under the direction of
Professor Surface is now engaging in
a new work. A number of people liv-
ing in the hilly districts have tried to
utilize their land by raising different
varieties of chestnuts.i This expert
ment was first.tried thirty years ago !;
at intervals ever since the same en-
deavor has beep made, but in each case
the attempt has ended in failure ow-
ing to the pests which destroy the nuts
and make them unsaleable.
At present Professor Surface has
three packages of nuts and is subject
ing them to exposure in cold storage,
using different temperatures, if the
pests can thus be destroyed without
injuring the nut, a solution of the
problem may be- reached and Pennsyl
vania be given n new, and profitable
industry. '%.,"- -.. ..-..

pairing for a distinguished event,
which will take place on Monday,
November 9th. Grand Master Balm
and the other grand officers of the
State will be present, the object of the
visitation being to admit the past
grands into the grand lodge.

who is recovering from his recent ILL

The intention was 10 hold the grand
lodge session during the early part of
October in connection with anniver-

factory arrangements could not be
made and the plans had to be changed.

Using Poles for Advertising.

Parties, it seems, have revived the
practice of posting notices and bills of
the smaller sort on telephone, telegraph
and other poles, which, as all should
know, by this time, is against the law.
There was time when the practice
was INDUCED in pretty extensively,
Haunting paper of all sorts often half
torn lose, and the streets presented a
most uncouth and Objectionable ap-.
pearance. After the law was carried
into force and advertisements of all
sorts were kept from the poles the
streets presented altogether different
aspect. 1t is with regret therefore,
that a growing disposition to defy
authority and to tack advertisements
onto the poles is noticed among the
people. All classes of poles are being
defaced in this way, borough as we'll
as telegraph and telephone poles.
Among other things electioneering
cards are tackled onto many of the
poles, but these along with other ad-
vertisements will have to come down,
for the chief. of police is ON the trail.

The Writing on the Wall.

When Miss Ethel Swank, the attrac-
tive supply teacher in the Hartman
school house, near Catawissa, went to
her work Monday morning she was
surprised to find the door of the school
house battered down, and laying in
splinters at one side of the porch.
Her surprise turned to terror when
she entered the school house and found
written on the wall of the school room
these words: Notice-If 800 is not
put in the pump house tonight the
beautiful school teacher will be miss
ing.
The young lady knows of no one
who would do her harm nor can she
think of any reason why desperate
characters should select her for their
prey. The pump house is directly
across the road from the school house
and all last night men were on guard,
watching for any one who might come
for the money. Miss Swank is acting
as n supply for George Schuman, who
is i'll with typhoid fever.

Sent Brother to Asylum.

James Henesy, Shamokin barber,
is at present an inmate of the Dan
willie hospital for the insane, and the
sad part of Henesy's plight is that he
is there by a mistake.
Henesy, several days ago, was taken
with an attack of the delerium trem-
ems and was lodged in the Shamokin
lookup until Saturday morning, when
he was brought over to the hospital
at this place. On Saturday afternoon
his brother arrived at Shamokin to
take charge of him and was surprised
to learn of his whereabouts.
An investigation showed him that
his sister had signed the necessary
papers for the incarceration of the
brother. She vows most positively,
however, that she did not know where
her brother was to be taken. Mean
while an effort is being made so secure
Henesy's release.

BEWARE OF THESE!

Some days ago lady who was suf
fering from headaches at her home in
the city of Easton took two pills that
had been left as samples" some time
before. An hour later she lapsed into
unconsciousness, and physicians who
were hastily summoned worked with
her for several hours before they sue
ceeded in restoring her to conscious
ness. Commenting upon this incident
the Easton Free Press thinks the city
councils should pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting the reckless distribution or
samples" of medicine. While it ad-
mits that grown people have been so
frequently warned that there is no rea-
son why they should be victimized, it
holds that the chief danger is that
"the pills will fall into the hands of
little children, who, finding that they
are coated with sugar, think that they
are candy and eat them

BURGESS ROGERS
ORDERS ARRESTS

Burgess w. j. Rogers yesterday issu-
ed some very specific orders to the
police relative to the observance of
hallow en-. There is already good
deal OF fun and frolic on the streets at
night which savors of halloween and
the desire is to teach those who par
tcipate that this year the observance
must be kept within reasonable limits
Burgess Rogers states that in his
opinion the hallowe 'en observance last
year was carried to the most absurd
extreme. Fun and frolic of the legiti-
mate sort, he saws he has no desire to
curb, but when it comes to interfering
with the rights of others. soiling cloth
ing, &c, he declf res that it is time
for the officers Of the law to step in.
AS the observance was conducted last
year, he declares, there was more hood
lumism, if not maliciousness about it
than harmless sport. A greater number
of persons. had their clothing ruined
by lamp black, -four, whiting and the
like than had occurred on hallowe Ell
for many years before. the trick being
to put the Objectionable powder, white
or black, into a bag and then to whack
it over the back or shoulders of an un-
suspecting person in passing.
Burgess Rogers yesterday ordered
the police to promptly arrest any per-
son using in the halloween observ
ance, lampblack, burnt cork, flour,
starch, whiting or anything that will
soil or discolor. the person or clothing
of another. He is thoroughly in earn
cts in the matter and his orders will
be carried out to the letter by the
officers.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS,
Each Part of the Larger Ones Is
Made by SpeciaIists

Made by Specialists.
Artificial flowers We're invented by
pious nuns. In the italian converts
the affairs and shrincs were up to the
end of the eighteenth century decorat-
ed with artificial flowers, laboriously
put together, Of paper, parchment and
other stiff materials. In Venetian
warehouse the most wonderful pro
ductions of natural flowers are eX-
hibited in glass cases, and in many
cases, not only the richest and most
brilliant colors, but the very scent of
the flowers has been stolen from ma
ture for some of the artificial flowers
are stepped in the perfume distilled
from the flower which 1t represents.
Last century Il Swiss invented a ma
chine for cutting out the leaves and
petals, but it can only be used for the
smaller kinds. such as are wanted for
hyacinths, lilies of the valley and 9th
er small flowers. In larger petals the
irregularities of manual work are pre-
ferred to the stiff and correct forms
produced by machinery. This material
Of which the petals are made is woven
in special factories. The scissors and
other tools used by the girls employ
ed as well as the presses In which the
veins are traced on the leaves are of a
shape specially adapted to the work.
Each part of Il flower is made by spe-
cialists. In one room, for instance,
only stalks of flowers and leaves are
made; in another, fruits and berries of
all kinds are cast If they are wax or
blown if made Of glass. The clever
est workers are employed in making
blossoms of the single petals and bou-
quets, wreaths and garlands of the sin.
