STREET PAVEMENT.

lust why the town council is so
Indifferent i'll the matter of keep
ing the paved portion OF Main
street clean, is beyond comprehen-
sion. To say that they cannot
clean it until it is accepted from the
contractor is the sheerest nonsense.
If there is any legal question in
that, no doubt the contractor would
consent that the cleaning should
be done without any disadvantage
to the town.
In the meantime the condition Of
the street is a disgrace to the town.
Won't the council please wake up
and take notice, and clean up just
once, so that the people can see
what a paved street looks like ?
The street sprinkler does not clean
it, but makes a filthy paste which
is carried to the sidewalks and into
the stores on the soles OF pedestrl-
ans.
The COLUMBIAN first spoke of
this matter months ago, and then
the other papers fell in line, but
neither the newspapers nor the ap-
peals of citizens have thus far had
any effect.

Ninety Years Ago There Was a Year
Without a Summer.

Ninety years ago occurred the
wear without a summer. Frost ap-
peared lin every month of the year
1916. Ice formed an inch thick in
May. Snow fell to the depth of
ten inches in Vermont, seven inch
es in Maine, three inches in the in
terror of New York and also in
Massachusetts III June. Ice was
formed the thickness of common
window glass throughout New En-
gland, New York and some parts of
Pennsylvania on July 5th Indian
corn was so frozen that the greater
part was cut down and dried for
fodder in August, and farmers sup
piled themselves from the corn pro
duced in 1915 for the seed of the
spring of 1877.

STATES VITAL STATISTICS.

Seven diseases that are actually
preventable were responsible for
20, oS7 deaths in Pennsylvania dur
ing the year 1906, according to the
records of the State department of
health's bureau of vital statistics.
AS there were some IS 900 deaths
exclusive of still births in the State
during that period, the records
show that over one-sixth of the to-
tai were from diseases that are
known to be preventable.
tuberculosis heads the list with
ro,632 victims. There were 4,o3o
deaths from typhoid fever, 2,4S4
from diphtheria, 1858 from whoop-
ing cough, 1883 from measles, 525
from scarlet fever and IS from ma
larial fever.
"When we consider" said State
Health Commissioner Dixon Sat.
urday, that during the one year
1906 our State lost 1862 lives
from tuberculosis, it will be seen
how great a boon the Legislators
and our statesmanlike governor
have rendered humanity in grant
ing the splendid appropriation to
falling 81 900, 900 to the depart
ment of health for its fight against
the "White Plague
"Not a single county in the
State but what had its death roll
from typhoid during the past year,
and the total of 4,o39 is appalling.
The departments statistics show
that the greatest number Of deaths
from typhoid occurred between the
ages of 20 and 40.
"Mothers of children are apt to
treat measles and whooping cough
too lightly, forgetting that these
diseases often times appear in epi-
denies of an aggravated type of
the disease and are very often fatal,
as the statistics show, for the deaths
in Pennsylvania from measles and
whooping cough during 1906 both
exceeded by three times the deaths
from scarlet fever.
In the year 1906 the records OF
the department show that 1886
people i'll Pennsylvania lost their
lives by railway accidents, there
were SO suicides and 35I homi-
cides.
Cholera infantum claimed its
usual harvest. During the hot
months of the year, S,9oI deaths
occurred from this cause in child
rem under two years of age, strik-
ing illustration of the necessity for
more thought in the hygiene and
feeding OF infants. "

TOMORROW NIGHTS CONCERT.

What promises to eclipse any
concert yet given by any Normal
orchestra or choral club is the con-
cert to be given by the orchestra
and choral club under the direction
of Miss Starr on Friday evening,
June 2Ist.
The orchestra, which has been
practicing faithfully, is composed
of IS pieces, some of which are the
best musicians that can be secured
in this section of the country.
The choral club, which is COM
posed of 80 voices, will sing several
selections, with orchestral accom-
paniment. Two of the selections
to be given are Governs bridal
chorus from The Rose Maiden, "
and Dudley Bucks FESTIVAL
Hymn.
Miss Starr as head of the De
partment of Music has made repu-
tation for herself and is already
we'll known as leader of first class
ability. This will be her final APP
pearance as leader at Normal, and
promises to be a fitting eli max to
the work she has SO successfully
superintended. Any one will be
fully repaid who hears this con
cert.

NORMAL APPROPRIATION.

1t is hard to understand the mind
of either the legislature or the Gov
ernor in the matter of the appro-
priation to the Normal School. I'm
questionably the B loom s b ur 6
School stands among the very best
in the state, and is so recognized
and acknowledged. And yet 9TH
er schools seem to be able to get
larger appropriations right along.
The legislature passed an appro-
priation bill giving seven of the
schools S4S. each, but only $685. =
600 to Bloomsbury, notwithstand-
ing the fact that a new Science
building costing sos, 900 has just
been completed. The Governor
has cut this down to SIS, 900, Mil
lersville, Edinboro and Californ-
ia receiving the same amount,
while he gives Lock Haven $40,
600 and Indiana $50, 900. Two
years ago Indiana got a special ap-
preparation of about $50, 900 while
the other schools got nothing.
1t is a we'll known fact that i'll
such matters the appropriations de-
pend very largely upon political
pulls, rather than upon the merits
and necessities of the schools.

SCHOOL BOARD.

The school board held its final
meeting for the school year on Mon

at per cent. on current expenses,
and per cent. on bonds paid.
Salary of the secretary was fixed
at $40 per month. -,
The tax rate was fixed at 7 mills

mill for school tax.
The statement was ordered print
ed in two papers to be selected by
the secretary and treasurer.

ELECTRICAL STORM.

A heavy thunder storm visited
this section yesterday afternoon be-
tween 5 and 6 o'clock. The peals
of thunder and the lightning were
uncomfortably close together, show
ing that the latter was pretty near
here. The home of Charles Mills
on Welsh Hill got cold stroke,
tearing off some shingles and knock
ing off plaster. Other places were
affected more or less, but no seri-
Gus damage was done.

RESIGNED RHODES SCHOLARSHIP

Donald G.. Herring graduated at
Princeton last week. He was a
warded Rhodes scholarship at
Oxford, England, but has resigned
it for the reason that he preferred
to spend next year at Princeton,
taking a post graduate course, and
getting his masters degree. An
other reason was that when his ap-
pointmept was made all the colleges
at Oxford that he cared to attend
were full. He will be eligible next
year. During the next year he
will be first assistant coach OH the
Princeton foot ball team.

BARN BURNED.

The large barn on the farm OF
the Judge Ikeler Estate at Almedia
was burned on Monday afternoon
from an unknown cause. In 1t was
consumed hay and grain, including
1000 bushels of corn. The old
gray horse that Judge 1keler used
to drive was burned.
O. c. Hess is the tenant. AS
the family sat at dinner smoke was
seen by Mr.. Hess and an alarm
given. 1t was impossible to save
the barn but the live stock except
the gray horse, was saved, as were
the other buildings. The loss Is
about $1,000.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Judge Krickbaum has filed his
campaign expense account showing
moneys expended in his canvas for
the Democratic nomination for AS
sociate Judge. 1t cost ST2oo. Not
long ago he published a statement
showing that the salary of the office
was only little over $500 year.
Thus it appears that it has cost
about three years salary to get the
nomination, with the costs of the
fall campaign yet to follow
That's a comment on modern
politics.

He rose and felt his way about the barn humming
air and staggering little in part with the spirit
and in part with the darkness and presently he got
to the corner where the women lay, silent
together. "Faber" he calls, there should be
dove here-a white dove maybe from a dove COTE

Madam your servant.
He made a leg, and stood looking down on the
two, and his friend joined him. But the women
were silent, and says the London buck to his Captain
in meditative voice:

country doth not show better graces than the town.

This insolence, SO cool and cruel, provoked the

the granary of the barn beyond
