He Would Rather Be a Hog.

"It l were to be born again and my
wishes were consulted l believe I'd
rather be hog" declared Health
Commissioner DR.. William A. Evans,
of Chicago, upon his return a day or
so ago from trip through the East
ern cities, where he made a careful
study of the methods in vogue in the
health departments. Special attention
was given to the Federal department
in Washington, where, DR.. Evans said,
hundreds of bacteriologists labor dally
to find means of preventing diseases in
hogs.
Said DR.. Evans: 1.-The government
spends more on the bacteriology of
hogs in one year than it does on the
bacteriology of man in 20 years. AS l
wandered around and looked at the
immense buildings devoted to the
study of seeds and grasses and other
foods l concluded imam was minor
being after all. and that I'd rather be
hog.

Thirty Seven Are Dead.

The latest compilation shows that
thirty men, women and children
are dead, and 2, 1913 are manned, lacer.
ated or burned as result of Thurs
days excess of patriotism in the I'm
tied States. The number of the dead
does not include five drowned during
the day. The number is four more
than last years mortality.
A year ago thirty-three persons were
dead on the morning after the Fourth,
not including five drowned.
Unfortunately the death roll will
increase day by day and even the late
days of August will witness additions
to it. Tetanus, that grim aftermath
of gunpowder wounds. claims its vic
Tins by scores and even hundreds for
weeks after the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead in
that city, while ten persons are so
seriously hurt that it is expected they
will die. AT the hospitals 423 injured
persons were treated.
Pittsburg ran New York a close sec
ond in the grim race, nine persons
yielding up their lives on the altar of
frenzied patriotism.

First of Their Kind in Country

Two ladies from Montenegro, the
first, il is claimed, that ever emigrat-
ed to the United States, arrived at
Hazleton Monday and were met by a
delegation of their countrymen. One
of the ladies is married and was met
by her husband, who took her to his
home at Black Ridge. The other, a
single woman, is staying in the city.
She expects TO be married shortly and
from her popularity she certainly has
no lack of suitors.
Slowly but surely a Montenegran
colony is being built up around Hazle-
ton and the arrival of these women
marks another epoch in its advance.
-Four years ago the first one of these
strangers, Gabriel Komenevitch, now
head ianitor at the Y. NJ. Q. A., came
to Hazleton. He induced others to
settle there and colony of 100 is now
at HarwoOd and about 10 at Black
Ridge and Hazleton. All of these are
inducing their friends in the Balkan
peninsula to emigrate thither.
These immigrants make good class
of citizens. They are Industrious and
none of them have as yet figured in
the police court, where so many for
eigners appear.

WALTER RUPP
UNDER ARREST

Walter Rupp was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace Oglesby Monday
afternoon
In holding the hearing the justice
temporarily removed his office to the
Jail, occupying the sheriff's office.
The arraignment took place at 3
o'clock. In charge of Officer Voris,
Rupp emerged from his cell and en-
tered the office smoking a cigarette
and apparently little concerned.
Justice Oglesby read the informa
tion, which set forth that on the even
ing of May 3lst, at the D. l.. & w.
railroad, Rupp committed an assault
on Chief of Police Mincemoyer, thro W
ing large stone at him, whi ch passed
near his head
On being asked whether he had any
thing to say the defendant remarked
"Oh, l throwed the stone all right "
Chief Mincemoyer then testified,
rel lating in effect that on the evening
there was disturbance along the d.
L. & W. railroad short distance
above the Mill street crossing. Ar
irving at the spot he learned tina
Rupp, who had got into an alteration
with another party, was responsible
for the disorder At the sight of the
officer Rupp beat hasty retreat.
The officer was quickly in pursuit
and called upon the defendant to stop.
Instead of complying. however, Rupp
stopped and picked up a stone the size
of his fist, which he hurled in the di-
rection of the officers head. The
stone, which was thrown with great
violence, missed its mark but came
very near hitting the officer.
a warrant was sworn out for Rupp's
arrest but as explained yesterday, for
some five weeks he. .eluded the officers
After hearing the testimony of the
chief f-of-police yesterday Rupp was
asked if he had any statement to
make Falling into sullen mood he
replied:
mo, I've nothing to say" A mo-
ment later he added in way that
impressed everybody unpleasantly {;
ITS long time till I'm dead.
He evidently reconsidered the mat
ter, for later he condescended to make
a statement. Turning to Chief Min
cemoyer he said:
You know 1 was drunk, or l
wouldn't have thrown the stone. You
know you have arrested me lots and
lots of times, both you and John, and
l never did anything.
Justice Oglesby fixed bail at $500
$500 for appearance at court and 5000
to keep the peace There were poor
prospects of Rupp's securing a bonds
man and he was reman ded to his cell.

Telephones at Railroad Sidings

The Pennsylvania railroad company
is completing quite an innovation to
its operating department. all over the
system, in connection with the new
block signal rules, which went into
effect last Monday. Telephones are
being placed at all the crossover
switches and sidings between the block
stations, with the expectation of rush
ing freight through in a much shorter
time and lessening the number of
wrecks.
On the Middle and Philadelphia
divisions telephones have been located
at the various sidings to avoid the
trains making unnecessary stops. I'm
der the old rule when train had
number of cars to be taken off at a sid
ing it had to stop at the nearest block
station and get orders, but under the
new rules the train has only to stop
at the siding, and. providing the sid
ing is connected by telephone, the crew
uses it to get orders from the tower.
thus avoiding a stop
This will be great saving of time
in the moving Of freight over the div
ision, as one stop of train counts
great deal, especially during heavy
traffic and extreme cold weather, it is
said that several hours can thus be
saved from one run.

Boy Drowned in Chillisquaque.

ChIllisquaque creek, the stream emp
tying into the West Branch above
Northumberland whose banks are we'll
known to Danville people as ideal sites
for camps, was the scene of a sad
drowning accident on Friday.
Michael PfeegoT the ffteen-year old
son of Harry Pheegor. of Milton, was
drowned at about ten o'clock in the
creek near Pottsgrove. He and sever
al companions were in bathing and the
unfortunate boy stepped into a deep
hole, and being unable to swim he
went to the bottom. The other boys
could not swim, but they ran to a
nearby house and notified John Voris,
who hastened to the spot and soon re-
covered the body, which was not in
the water over ten minutes. A physi-
clan was hastily summoned, but moth
ing could be done to resuscitate the
lad. One of his companions, boy
named Miller, drove home and notifi-

The plant of the Haney Frazier Mill
ing company, South Danville, under
going remodeling, is being equipped
with the very latest machinery known,
the system employed being undoubted-
ly the most perfect extant.
The machines in place or in process

milling as in every other branch of
industry, Improvements follow each
other in rapid succession. To South
Danv!lle will fall the distinction of
having in the Haney- Frazier plant all
the very latest improvements known.
d. NJ. Shaler, under whose super
vision the new machinery is being in
stalled, in a conversation with a rep
resentative of the News Tuesday,
stated that it is an unusual thing to
find system so perfect as employed in
the Haney- Frazier plant and he ques-
tions very much whether there is any
thing Just like it in this whole sec
tion. 1t so often occurs, he said, that
in mills of this sort the whole system
of machinery is not employed and as a
result perfect product is not obtain
