Price StIlI Rising.

The price of sawn timber and lum- her continues to rise at this point, and has now reached a higher price than ever before known in the history of the port. Averages of thirty feet in length sell from 2S to 28 1-2 cents per foot, while smaller averages are in de- mand at 24 cents. The prevailing mar ket price here for timber for years has been T. and 14 cents for thirty-foot averages and 10 and Ii cents for aver ages under that. Not only is the mar ket excessively high, but the supply is not equal to the demand and there seems no indication of when the price win come down to any appreciable extent The mill men are reaping a harvest from the sale of their output and there are but few of them who are not claring thousands of dollars every week

MAJOR MCFARLAND DEAD.
Was Husband Of Rebecca, Daughter Of
the Late Thomas Logan. Of Ayr
Township.

Major J. G. Mcfarland, form
er resident of this county, and
husband of Rebecca, a daughter
of the late Thomas l. gan, of Ayr
township, this county, died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. w. j.

Maj. Mcfarland was born in

teen years of age, he engaged as

He then returned to st Thomas,

TELEPHONE BAD MANNERS.
By the People Who Start Their Talk
With who Is This p


Why is it that the first ques-
ton so many persons below into
the telephone transmitter Is the
rude question, "Who is this p"
The same persons or many OF
them at least, are not boorish IN
the observances of the com mon
courtesies of social life. Yet they
will bawl this impertlnence into
the telephone, apparently all un-
conscious that they are commit
ting an offense against good man
ners and one that is the limit OF
vulgarity.
That the person at one end OF
the line should attempt to ascer.
tain the identity of the person at
the other end without disclosing
his own, not only is a transgres.
sion of the rules of good manners
but it is an affroLt to the propri.
eties, because it carr les with 1t a
suggestion of secrecy that, to say
the best of it, is uncomplimenta-
ry. Why not say from your end
when the challenging "he1lo"
comes that indicates that the CEN
tral Offices ring attracted atten-
tion 'This is DR.. Smith. I
should like to speak with Mr..
Jones? ?" Or If you do not care to
disclose your own name at once
simply ask for Mr.. Jones. Don't
shout the impertinent "Who is
this?" The question Is extreme.
ly irritating to most persons and
it is clownish, unrefined and in
excusably ill-mannered.

WHITES PRIMARY LAW.
Bill Presented by Beaver Senator, end
Is Not Perfect In Whites Opinion.

The bill for uniform primary
elections, introduced IN the Sen.
ate by Senator White, of Beaver,
is patterned after the Wisconsin

tor Whites opinion. If inacted

tions, one OH the second Tuesday

ton, and the other on the second

Der election. The polls shall be
open from z a. m. to z p. NJ. each

held at the regular polling places
and conducted by the regular
election officers, who are allowed
the compensation they now re-
ceive.
Candidates tOr office must file
atfidavlts with the Secretary of
of the Commonwealth If they seek
nominations for State offices, or
with the County Com missioners
If they aspire for county nomina-
tlons, setting forth that they are
bona fide candidates.
The County missioners
must group all the names of can.
dldates by parties and provide
separate ballots for each political
party, with the title of The party
at the top and with the names of
candidates arranged in alphabetl-
cal order.
A voter must declare which
party he affillates with or he pro-
poses to affiliate with before he
receives ballot, and then he is
given the ballot of that party.
The returns are made to the
Prothonotary's office and COM
puted by the same officials as
count the election returns.
The penalties AMI punishments
are the same as those for the vio-
lation of the present election law.

NEW CEMETERY RULE.
Reduces the Depth at Which Burials are
Required to be Made.

NequITeu 10 De Wdue.
AS was stated in the News last
week, the last legislature passed
a law which made it possible for
the State Board of Health to make
ruling, which has the effect of
law until annulled by higher au-
thority-that graves shall be sew
en- feet in depth from the surface
of the ground to the top of the
rough box. 1t did not take long
to find that a mistake had been
made IN the ruling, and the De-
partment of Health now comes
out with new ruling as follows !:
Except by special PERMISSION
from the Department of Health,
interment of any human body
shall not'be made in any public or
private burial ground unless the
distance from the top of the box
containing the coffin or casket be
at least five feet from the natural
surface of the ground, except
where solid rock or water may be
encountered. Then the distan ce
from the top of the box contain
ing the coffin or casket shall not
be less than four feet from the
natural surface of the ground;
aud with the furthur exception
that still born children and chill
dren less than four years OF age,
dead of any other than anthrax,
cholera, diphtheria, leprosy, scar
let fever, smallpox, tetanns, ty-
phoid fever, typhus fever, or yel-
low lever, shall be buried at such
depth that the top of the box
containing the coffin or casket be
not less than three and one.half
feet from the natural surface of
the ground.
This new rule abrogates the old
rule requiring lntcrments TO be
made nine feet under ground, for
the reason that IN some parts of
the State the ground is either SO
rocky or moist that it is impossi-
BILE to dig a grave nlne feet deep

GEORGE DEAL DEAD.
Fell from Third Story Window al Bedford
County Almsh0use.

George W.. Deal, aged about 20
years, formerly a prosperous
farmer in Friends Cove, Bedford
county, and we'll known in the
lower end Of this county, elm bed
out from third story window In
the Bedford county almshouse
last Friday night, and fell to the
ground, breaking one leg and one
arm, and when found, was dead.
Mr.. Deal is said to have been
partially demeuted, and Friday
evening seemed restless. wanting
to roam through the building. A
watchman was placed over HIM,
but Mr.. Deal managed to elude
his vigilance, and, no doubt,
thought to escape. From the
fact that pane was broken in
the window directly below the
one from which Mr.. Deal made
his exit, it is believed he let him
self down from the ledge of the
window, probably not knowing
that the distance to the ground
was so great.

The Bedford Hawkeye says
that Ex- Congressman Joseph E.
Thropp. OF Everett, has purchas-
ed the historic Old Mountain
House tract, on the Cham bers-
burg and Plttsburg pike, IA miles
west of McConnellsburg, better
known here as the McIlvaine
property. There are large build
ings on the ideal hunting proper
ty, and some 300 OF the 100 acres
are cleared for farming. An ex-
cellent trout stream runs through
1t, so that, all things considered,
1t will make an ideal hunting pre-
serve.
1t is understood that the pur-
chaser co1templates improving
the property in a moderate way
and making it an attractive place
for rest and recreation n for his
family and friends.
If the walls of the old house,
which is about 100 feet long, could
talk, they could tell many inter
estlng tales of the experiences of
weary travellers or gay huntsmen.
The views from points near the
house are very ine as you look
back from the top of Rays Hill
over the Juniata Valley, whose
praises have been sung by many
poets.

Death Record.
NELLIE BLANCHE SIPES.

NELLIE BLANCHE SIPES.
MISS Nellie Blanche, daughter
of Ex-Sherlff and Mrs. D. V.
Sipes, died at the home of her
parents just west of town on
Monday evening, aged 20 years,
2 months and days. Miss Slpes
was formerly the very picture of
health, but was so greatly affected
by the shock that came with the
death of her brother Clarence,
about two years ago, that since
that time she has been a great
sufferer.
She was young lady of noble
christian charac ter, and her
death falls most heavily on her
aged parents, for she was the on
ly one of the children left in the
home.
Her funeral will take place at
10 o'clock to-day, and lnterment
will be made in the Union ceme-
terry.
