Mr.. and Mrs. X. l.. Haugh, of Nebras-
ka, this county, we're apprised late FRI
day evening of the death by accident of
Mrs. Haugh's father, William ii. Nc
Aninch, in Touring mill at New Beth
lehem, Clarion county. He was resi-
dent of Brookville. and dispatch from
that place to the daily Spirit, at Punxsu-
tawuey, Saturday morning, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the sad affair:
death in frightful form came to Will
lam II. McAninch, prominent resident
of this place and a retired Touring mill
man, when he fell down an elevator shaft
in the mill of George l.. Reed, at New
Bethlehem, shortly after five O'Clock last
evening. Just how the accident hap
pened no person seems to know, for none
saw him fall and those in the mill were
only aware of the accident when his life
less form was found at the bottom of the
shaft. Mr.. McAninch, although having
retired from the Touring business some
time ago, had consented to go to tho New
Delulolloiu ullll anu hoIP uuiin " iN'H
of work. Something went wrong with
the elevator in the mill yesterday after
noon and the unfortunate man went TO
the third floor to make some repairs.
Later his body was found at the bottom
of the shaft. a distance of twenty-nine
feet. Physicians who examined the
| hodv claim that death must have resulted
instantly, as the head was crushed, and
it is thought that the neck was broken"
The deceased was brother of the late
Rev. j. V. McAninch, with whom, and
his daughter at Nebraska, he had often
been visitor, and had formed number
of favorable acquaintanceships both in
Tionesta and Nebraska. Mr.. and Mrs.
Haugh LETT for Brookville Saturday

A Mighty Good Idea.
burg.

A number of residents of Mansfield are
looking into the matter of organizing an
insurance company in town tor the pur-
pose of insuring village property. 1t is
said $4,000 are paid out each year in
Mansfield for insurance, and the losses
for the past twenty years have not ex-
ceeded what it costs the residents in pre-
miums for one year. The existing rates
are altogether too high in this borough,
the water protection considered. The
idea is to organize on a plan similar to
that of the Grange Fire Insurance Com
pany. There is no doubt that a company
along the lines suggested would be very
successful and save the people hundreds
of dollars a year. AS the matter now
stands, you pay whether there are any
losses by fire or not. With the proposed
new company in operation, you would
pay only when some member sustains a
loss, and your protection would be fully
as adequate as it now is at the hands of
the old line companies. The cost of or
ganization would be small, and there
would be no heavily salaried president or
other officers Mansfield (Pa. advertiser.
Here is an idea that is worthy the care
full consideration of the people of Tio-
nesta. Insurance rates in this borough
are enormous, and instead of diminishing
since the installation of our water system
and rather superior facilities for lighting
fire, the rates have been heavily increased,
still further increase having been made
within the past year. Thousands of dol
lars are paid out annually in fire insur-
ance premiums by Tionesta residents,
which, if paid into general fund, would,
in half dozen years, or less, provide for
any ordinary contingency that might
arise from fire loss, and still have money
left. In short time the rates could be
cut in two twice from what we are now
paying. A dollar saved is two dollars
earned, they say, and on this basis the
introduction of home insurance COM
pany would be about the best institution
or enterprise that could be added to our
town at the present time. What do you
think of il?

SPREAD OF DISEASES,
Germs Often Carried in Milk Bottles.
Necessity of Cleanness.

The householder should work hand in
hand with the milk man to prevent his
bottles and cans from becoming infected
with the germs of typhoid fever and other
communicable diseases and thus spread
ing the infection. State Health Commits
sioner Samuel G. Dixon insists upon
this precaution in speaking of general
methods of combating disease.
The commissioned states that the de-
partment finds frequent examples of the
spread of typhoid fever and other dis
eases through carelessness in the han
ding of milk containers.
"For instance" says DR.. Dixon, "there
will be handed out from house infected
with typhoid fever, diphtheria, or scarlet
fever an empty milk bottle in which lurk
the deadly germs. The milk man places
this in his crate which he afterwards uses
for his next days supply. Indeed, the
mere handling of the bottle from the in
fected house makes it exceedingly proba-
BILE that the milk man will spread the
germs of disease to the rest of his bottles
and cans.
ut is therefore the duty of the person
in whose home there is a case of COM
municable disease to see to it that before
the individual milk bottle is returned to
the milk man to Thoroughly cleanse il.
This can be done by first rinsing it with
cold water and afterwards scalding.
"The milk man on his part should
never refill bottle until he has passed it
through his cleansing apparatus at his
establishment. When milk is delivered
from large can into pitchers or other
vessels handed out from a house, the
milk man should not handle such vessel,
but should pour the milk out OF his can
without permitting ii to touch the Gus
TONER'S contaner, and without touching
it with his hands or his measure.
"These seem like very simple precsu-
tions and they are, hut only those who
make constant study of the causes of
epidemics realize how essential the obser-
walton of these csutionary measures are
for the protection of the public health.
Just very little care often prevents a
very great amount of sickness and death" +"

-It Is said that during the hunting soa-

1t is said that during the hunting sea-
son recently closed seventy-four persons
we're accidentally killed and seventy
wounded in the United States, either
through carelessness or reck lessness.
Michigan had the the largest number of
dead, fifteen, while Wisconsin, with thir-
teen, was second, and Pennsylvania must
have been mighty close third. Where
the statistics come from, or as to their
accuracy we do not know, but If correct
1t shows that about one out of million
lose their lives during the hunting sea-
son. The percentage does not seem
large, but since the killings are largely
the result of recklessness or ignorance
in the handling of firearms, 1t would
seem that the rate might be very much
reduced by prohibiting fools from carry
ing the deadly weapons.
The Commissioners of Venango
county are preparing for the holding of
winter primaries under the new law in
the cities of Franklin and Oil City, but
advise that all townships and boroughs
make their nominations for the February
elections in the manner usually followed
by the several party organizations, pro-
vision in the new law allowing this to be
done at the winter primaries. This seems
to be the sensible course, and the one
which the Commissioners of Forest
county believe should prevail in this
county. The new law is both cumber-
some and vague, and for townships and
boroughs is nuisance so far as the hold
ing of primaries for the nomination OF
candidates for the February election is
concerned. and we are of the opinion no
considerable number of voters will care
to have it adopted for that purpose. Al
the spring primaries, when candidates
for the general election are to be nomi-
mated, the system, being less complex
and less expensive, will doubtless prove
quite satisfactory to the voters.
