There has been some apprehension as
to whether the street improvement in
this borough under the good roads"
could be carried out this season since the
Governors cut in the appropriation made
for that purpose, but letter from the
highway department at Harrisburg states
that rionesta's case is all ready for the
signature of Joseph w. Hunter, Commis-
sioner of Highways. 1t is not likely that
all the work designed for the borough
can be carried through this season. but
good start will undoubtedly be made.

For nearly three months past, Joseph
Hinde-er, of Green township, has been
suffering great deal from an injury to
his right ankle, which he thinks he
sprained while walking through his or
chard. The condition of the injured
member became so serious that two weeks
ago he was taken to the Kane hospital,
where an operation was performed,
portion of the bone and a great deal of
pus being removed. 1t was feared that
he might lose his foot, but late informa-
ton from him is that the ankle is heal
ing nicely and that he will probably be
able to come home in about week.
An advance in freight rates has been
announced to go into effect August lst by
the Central Freight Association. This
has been expected for some time, mas
much as everything else is on the steady
advance. Twenty years ago the capacity
of freight cars, measured and estimated,
brought about uniform freight rate.
Cars of the present age will hold nearly
twice as much as they did twenty years
ago. Lumber, brick, cement, lead, paper
and plaster are among the principal COM
modities affected by the proposed change.
In the new classification there are $3.50
changes, of which 1866 are advances.
The advances will average six per cent.
AS if freight rates were not already high
enough
Negotiations are as good as closed
which mean that the large factory build
ings in this place will soop he in opera
tion again. Messrs. Gillen and Kelley,
with whom our board of trade has been
in correspondence for some time, were
here yesterday arranging for the imme-
diate introduction of the casket works
mentioned few weeks ago in this paper,
and will set men to work at once prepar-
ing the buildings for the introduction of
the necessary machinery. A number of
houses have been engaged for their lead
ing employees who will come on in few
days, and it is expected the next week or
so will see a complete transformation
about the premises that have so long lain
idle. 1t will sound good to hear the big
whistle once more.
"A number of physicians have started
circular among their fellow physicians
that when fully signed will be presented
to the newspapers. BY it the physicians
request that in the future the names of
the M. DIS attending cases be not pub
lished in connection with case except it
be on the case ofaphysician. This action
is taken to conform to the "ethics" ofthe
profession, which do not countenance
advertising. Henceforth patients must
be very careful not to tell their friends
who is attending them unless permission
is first asked of the doctor, or there may
be rupture of the ethics. In the future
