said physician. .There Is no surer
Sign, to my mind, that the system Is
becoming overturned than this feeling
of uncertainty.
II was staying with a friend the
other night-spendlng the night with
him. In fact. He's man whom
know pretty well, ind thought ut
dinner and through the evening, from
little nervousness in his conversation
and manner, that things weren't all
right with him. but wasn't abso-
lutely convinced till bedtime approach

study. his family having retired. and
lie asked me to excuse him while he
saw that the house was locked IN.
1t was still night and could follow
his progress around the various rooms
on the first floor. He seemed to me
to be unnecessarily long. and. without
being inqulsitive, really became in
terested to know whether he wasn't
making the rounds twice. Finally I
heard him go into the parlor, room

before. When he came upstairs |
asked laughlngly how many times he
had seen that each window was fas-
encd. But lie wasn't In laughing
mood Mt all.
Its funny thing, old man. he
said, but I've been fool enough to look
mt each window two or three times.
DO you know, 1t would strike me after
had left room that perhaps hadn't
put the catch properly OH one OF the
windows there. and back I'd have to
go to make sure. Being in there, I'd
examine the other windows again. It's
been that way for hnlf dozen nights.
Somehow doing these things doesn't
seem to make the impression OH me
that one would expect. This lack Of
sureness Isn't confined to locking win

great number of his actions were

He needed rest and if he did not take
it he would break down.
II got him away from cares for n

laughed as heartily over the incident

ELEVATORS
AND POCKETS

Robert j. Pegg has broken ground
on Northumberland street for the erec-
tion of modern establishment for
carrying on the coal business. The
plant, which will consist of elevators
and pockets, will be the first of its
kind in this section.
The site selected is the tract lying
Just east of Mahoning creek between
the D. j.. & W. railroad and North.
umberlaud street, which was occupied
by a coal yard some years ago. Com
paratively recently the tract, which be-
longs to the Reading Iron company,
was filled up on a level with the
street. In order to get rid of the trestl-
ing the D. l.. 81 W. railroad company
about the same time filled up under
its track, thus rendering it impossible
to reinstall the coal bins that former
ly did service. The place at present
is in no respect adapted to coal yard
of the old-fash1oned type. Mr.. Pegg,
therefore, decided to install a modern
plant, as above described.
The building for storage, containing
six pockets, will be forty feet by forty
two feet, ten inches and will be about
thirty feet high to the caves. Between
the railroad and the building will be
a siding constructed by the D. L. &
W. railroad company. Underneath
the siding a pocket will be construct
ed. AS the coal falls into the pocket
it will be caught by an elevator in the
form of an endless belt or chain with
a series of scoops or buckets, by which
it will be carried to the very top of
the building and dropped into one or
another of the six pockets for storage.
To operate the elevator an eight-horse
power gasoline engine will be install
ed.
There will be two driveways on the
ground floor of the building, into
which chute will extend from each
of the coal pockets. In delivering coal
to customers nothing more will be
necessary than to place a wagon in the
driveway and open the chute, permit
ting the coal to drop into the wagon
box. Thus in hauling out coal as we'll
as stocking up the pockets all labor is
reduced to minimum, the expense Of
operating being reduced probably one
half
Mr.. Pegg will also erect an office
besides scales at the new place of
business.
John A. Mowrey is experimenting
the construction of the plant.

terian church gave very pleasant en-
tertainment on Friday night, which
was largely attended.
The exercises were made up of del
sarte poses, drills, etc., a good night
drill by very little children being an
especially pleasing feature.
A coon song by Miss Lou Jameson
with chorus by the class made a great
hit. "Why Old Maids Never Marry

Nearly Ready for Machinery

Within the next week or ten days
the machinery of the new knitting
mill. at Jersey Shore, will be put in
motion.
The building for the mill is nearly
completed, the roof is in place, the
floors are finished and the work of
finishing the window frames is being
rapidly pushed to completion.
Last week the last car load of mach
inery arrived and every effort is being
made to have the full equipment in

worth and John Hushen, both of Dan
Vile, are experimenting the placing
of the machinery. They have been in
town for several days, and the latter
will locate there permanently. Thorn

exceedingly optimistic concerning his
outlook in Jersey Shore and predicts a
successful future for his industry. -

FIREMEN APPEAL
TO COUNCIL

Whether a man living outside the
borough can belong to a fire company
in the borough and more especially
whether such non resident can hold
the responsible Office of chief engineer
is an issue on which the members of
the Goodwill hose company have for a
long time been divided. With view
of obtaining a decision by which all
must abide and thereby doing away
with the cause of a great deal of con-
tention and ill-feeling the question
has been submitted to the borough
council by members of the company.
A committee of two appeared before
council at its last meeting and fully
explained the situation. The Good
will hose company, according to the
statement made, is divided into two
factions, which can not get together
on any issue, no matter how obvious
ly it would be for the common good.
One of these sides, the majority of
whose members reside outside the bor-
ough, in numbers and influence out.
weighs the other. The committee that
visited council represented the minor
ity side. 1t explained how the fire
company is handicapped at present
Owing to the friction existing it is
impossible to elect new members, one
side or the other exercising its pre-
rogative to use the black balls.
The members living outside the bor-
ough are inconveniently situated for
running to fires and consequently do
not put in an appearance until too late
or not at all. The result of all this is
that the Goodwill company is beaten
by the other fire companies and has to
depend upon the boys of the street to
assist in getting the hose carriage
back to the building.
The minority side, the committee
explained, has always contended that
members outside the borough should
not belong to the company. The issue
at present is forced by the fact that
the candidate for chief engineer, the
choice of which this year lies with
the Goodwill hose company. lives out
side the borough.
The committee explained that the
minority is not antagonistic to the
candidate personally and that, if he
would remove within the borough
limits, all opposition would be with
drawn.
Council after due consideration re-
ferred the matter to the committee on
fire with instructions TO consult the
borough solicitor to determine wheth-
er in view of all the facts there are
any legal obstacles in the way of the
nonresident candidate holding the
office of chief engineer.
1t appears that outside of the Good
will hose company the question of in
eligibility is not considered and as a
precedent the members point to the
fact that Lawrence Butler, who lived
outside the borough, some years ago
was elected chief engineer and served
very acceptably.

HUNTING PARTY
SHOOTS A BEAR

Harry Billneyer has returned from
hunting excursion to the northeast
ern part of Lyooming county, wild
unsettled section embracing a part Of
the Allegheny system, where condi-
tions are favorable for the rapid pro-
pagation of game in all varieties and
where, unless under exceptional
conditions, the hunter is sure of bag
ging all the pheasants he can carry.
Mr.. Billmeyer's party shot bear, but
as relates to other game his report is
rather disoouraging than otherwise.
Mr.. Billmeyer, accompanied by AL
fred Blaker and John Cornell of Phil
adelphia and Daniel Frazier of Wash
ingtonville, week ago left for Glen
Mawr in the section of Lycoming
county above described. They hunted
with indifferent success from Monday
morning until Thursday noon.
Wednesday afternoon the monotony
of the trip was relieved by the discov-
cry of bear. Bruin was out in the
midst of swamp when he was sur
prised by the dogs. The bear, which
was big long-legged fellow, escaped
to tree before the dogs came up. He
climbed the tree and probably fancied
he was safe.
A moment later he was brought
down by bullet fired from the gun
of Lincoln Edkin, guide, who with
his dogs, was picked up by the party
at Glen Mawr.
The bear, dressed, weighed 1S0 pounds.
1t was taken along to Philadelphia by
Messrs. Blaker and Cornell. Bears are
plentiful in that part of the State. A
large number have been seen this fall,
while foot prints are in evidence al
most everywhere.
Pheasants, Mr.. Billmeyer states, are
scarce. The party succeeded in bag
ging only half dozen. For the past
eight years Mr. Billmeyer each fall
has made a trip to that portion of Ly-
coming county and he has never before
returned home without bringing with
him forty to sixty pheasants.
Mr.. Billmeyer attributes the scar
city Of pheasants this year, to the pre-
valence of cholera among the birds.
Thus early in the season there has
been but little shooting and the pheas-
ants should be travelling in coveys.
Yet Mr.. Billmeyer notes that in no in
stance did they see pheasant but was
entirely alone and probably mile or
two from any other bird.
Neither did they find rabbits plenti-
full in that excellent breeding ground
for game. Mr.. Billmeyer states that
he himself had the good fortune to
shoot jack rabbit, rather rare var
iety belonging to the mountains, large
in size and white in color

Home BURNED
NEAR EXCHANGE

The fine residence ON the farm of
August Heidenreich, 8 miles north
east of Exchange, was burned to the
ground Friday evening, the home and
nearly all of the contents being a to-
tai loss. The aeidenreich home was
frame dwelling. large and roomy. The
fire is attributed to a defect in the
ohimnev which, like the house was old
fashioned.
The family were all in the kitchen,
where Mrs. Heidenreich was baking
bread. The fire started in the attic,
and had gained big headway when
the family learned of the danger. To-
tally unconscious that the upper part
of their home was in flames the Held
enreichs sat in the kitchen, until their
telephone bell rang furiously and the
voice of a neighbor told them that
their house was on fire.
Already the whole upper part of the
dwelling was wrapped in flames and
the unfortunate family could do but
little toward saving any of their prop
erty. A piano was practically the only
article saved.
The wind was blowing in the direc-
tion of the large barn on the farm but
the heroic efforts of the neighbors pre-
vented the flames from spreading. Mr..
Heidenreich estimates his loss at over
So, 600. He carried S400 insurance.

TWENTY-FIVE DEATHS
FOR OCTOBER

The report of the local registrar

month of October. Four of the deaths
occurred at the hospital for the insane.
One case of scarlet fever was report.

effects of the disease. No other cases
of contagious or infectious diseases
were reported and as far as the rec.

ports, the colds we're complicated with
abdominal disorders. This form of
illness was quite general in every part
of town.
The transition from warm to cold
weather has been quite gradual and,
with exercise of proper care and at.
tentioE to clothing, under ordinary
circumstances persons should not be
exposed to much danger from colds.
As the weather changes from warm to
cold clothing should be taken on to
suit. The trouble is, when warmer
weather recurs, as it is pretty sure to
do at this season, the heavier clothing
becomes burdensome and is apt to be
thrown aside for lighter apparel, with
the result that under the next sudden
change bad cold is contracted
The local registrar stated yesterday
that some physicians do not adhere
strictly to the law requiring them to
report all cases OF contagious and in
fictitious diseases. He thinks that in
time the law will be more strictly OBJ
served and much better results will
follow. Health Commissioner DR..
Dixon, he said, is determined that the
statute shall not be dead letter. He
is after those doctors who are neglig-
ent in the premises, and in at least
one instance has caused legal proceed
ings to be instituted against the ply
sician who failed to report contagious
and infectious diseases.
