bitten By A
SAVAGE DOC

Beware of the dog at this season
while mercury is doing stunts among
the nineties. Whatever his general
reputation for amiability may be, at
this particular season the dog is not
to be trusted. Painting with the heat
he wears fatigued and worried look
and has no patience even with a we'll
meaning caress, which at other seasons
he might welcome with friendly
wag of the tail. Take no liberties
with the dog just now but on the con-
trary give him wide berth.
There are several persons in Dan
Vile who will endorse these senti-
ments, among them being Richard
Hopewell of Sidler's hill. Richard was
passing along the street in that part
of town on Tuesday evening when he
was pounced on by a big dog belong
ing to nearby resident, which sank
his teeth into the man's S thigh, lacerat.
ing the flesh and tearing large piece
out of the trousers and underclOthing
/ DR.. Newbaker cauterized the wound.
With the advent of warm weather
the newspapers are filled with mad dog
stories and accounts of chilren that
have been bitten by unmuzzled dogs,
which are permitted to roam the
streets. Whether the dog be mad or
not, the bite. which is painful enough
in itself, is apt to be the cause of nc
end of dread and anxiety to the person
attacked. Therefore, as enjoined above
give all dogs wide berth. Let coun
Gil at the same time take some actor
that will reduce the number of worth
less and i'll natured dogs on the street:
and insure at least modicum of pro
lection to the citizens

PRISONERS MAY
BE PUT TO work

OF the large number of laws enacted
by the last legislature there are few
to which more interest attaches than
the one approved by Governor Stuart
on Nav 25th, authorizing the employ
ment of male prisoners on the public
highways. There is something espec-
tally suggestive in this law to the peo-
pie of our county, where contractors
are handicapped in important road
improvements for want of men while
some half a dozen able bodied prison
ers, who would probably rather work,
are "doing time" in idleness in the
county Jail.
Up to date, however, there has been
nothing to indicate that the county
commissioners contemplate taking ad-
vantage of the provisions of the new
act and putting the prisoners to work,
Meanwhile it might be a pretty good
thing if all our citizens would famil-
iarize themselves with the provisions
of the act. Briefly il sets forth as
follows:
That for the better employment of
the prisoners and improvement of the
highways of this Commonwealth from
and after the passage of the act il
shall and may be lawful to require
every able bodied male prisoner con-
fined under sentence in any Jail or
workhouse to do and perform eight
hours of manual labor each day of
such imprisonment except Sunday or
legal holidays.
The labor to be done or performed
shall be classified. fixed and establish
ed by the prison boards, which by the
act are created in the several counties
of the Commonwealth.
That the sheIit fl and county commits
sioners Of the several counties shall
compose the prison board for employ
ment Of prisoners.
The prison boards so constituted shall
have full power and authority TO com
pei the said male prisoners TO work on
the public highways: Provided, that
preference shall be given to the max
ing of new and the maintenance and
repair of the main public roads
The respective prison boards shall
have power and authority to employ
such deputies or other guards or offic-
ers as shall be necessary for the sup
erVieion. safe keeping and good con-
duct of the said prisoners: Provided,
that the compensation of such addi-
tional deputies shall not exceed two
dollars per day to be paid out of the
treasury of the proper county.
If any prisoner while employed out
side of Jail or workhouse shall make
his escape or attempt to escape, he
shall be subject to like penalties as
are now provided by law for escape or
breach of prison.

GROVE Church
TO BE RENOVATED

During the next two weeks the con
gregation of the Grove Presbyterian
church will enter upon thorough rem
ovation of that attractive house of
worship, giving the building a prac-
tically new interior.
The contract for the decorations of
the auditorium has been awarded to
Fred NJ. Bottcher, decorative painter,

premiership under, and for ten years
was employed by, H. f. Dapelstein,
of New York, one of the leading dec
orators of the country, whose con-
tracts during recent years have en-
braced the decorations at the White
house at Washington. d. G.
The design for the dcorations at the
Grove church have been furnished by

ployed will be creams" and
browns" in silk effect.

school room will be completed first.
Included in the improvements will
be new cushions for the pews, new
carpet and new system of lighting.

for the entire building, will be 0ster
moor cushions. which are regarded
as the best kind in use. The new car,
pet will be body Brussels and will
cover all the floors. In lighting the
building, gas, which has done service
for. many years, will be replaced by
electric light. Introduction Of the
latter will necessitate the installation
of a large and ornamental chandelier,
which will occupy the center of the
auditorium. Altogether the improve.
ments will bring about wonderful
change in the interior of the church,
so that in point of beauty as well as
comfort and commodiousness the aud.
itorium will be second to none Of any
church in this section.

Sails for Africa TODAY.

Yesterday morning the Rev. Charles

Lutheran church of Sunbury, left that
place for New York from whence he
sails today for Liberia, Africa.
On his arrival there he will take up
missionary work among the natives,
possibly at new field which has just
been established in the interior.
The field to which Rev Brosius goes
is considered the hardest and most
dangerous of all mission fields This
is due largely to the locality, which
being right near the equator, makes
the climate very dangerous to foreign
ers.

BODY Of FRED
Mills Recovered

The body of Fred Mills, who was
drowned in the Susquehanna Thurs
day, was recovered near Cameron late
Saturday afternoon.
The story of the painstaking, though
fruitless search prosecuted in the vic
unity of the spot where the drowning
occurred, was told in these columns
Saturday morning. There was no dis
position to abandon search for the
body and on Saturday arrangements
were being made to enter upon the
work with larger force of meu pro-
ceeding along entirely new lines, when
the news reached town that the body
had been found
| About o'clock Saturday evening a
colored man named Wesley Barton, in
the employ of Mrs. Mary Greenough
! Stevenson. of Cameron, rode into town
on horseback and proceeding to the
office of Justice of the Peace W. V.
Oglesby reported that he had found
the body of boy which answered the
description given of Fred Mills The
body, however, was recovered in North
umberland county, and acting on the
advice of Justice Oglesby the man pro-
ceeded to the south side, in Northum-
berland county, and reported the mat
ter to Justice of the Peace Z. W.
! Young.
Before leaving town, he was inter
viewed by representative of the
News. Barton said Immediately after
the shower, which occurred about 4
o'clock he went down to the river TO
bail the water out of boat preparat-
ory to putting it to use. While engag-
ed in this work his attention was at
tracted by an object floating in the
water about sixty feet from shore and
which upon closer examination proved
to be the body of boy. The body was
! floating on the surface with the face
! protruding above the water.
To say that the man was startled is
! boy had drowned up the river and
| that the body had not been recovered.
| Not doubling for moment that it
was Mr.. Mills boy he quickly sum-
moned help and brought the body to
shore, after which. while others kept
watch. he hurried TO town with the
news that the body had been recover
| ed.
Justice of the Peace Young learn
| ing of the affair quickly called up
| Coroner Dreher of Shamokin, who,
pending his arrival here to make the
necessary investigation gave the just
ice permission to remove the body.
Undertaken George w. Roat drove
down to Cameron and brought the
body up to his undertaking establish
ment, where it remained during yes
terday. Yesterday morning Coroner
Dreher arrived and after making an
investigation concluded that an in
! quest was not necessary.
! The body had been in the water for
over forty-eight hours and decomposi-
tion had advanced pretty far, never
theless Identification was easily made.
The sad drowning in itself was an
awful blow to the parents. This to-
gether with the suspense and anxiety
attending the long and fruitless search
for the body had telling effect upon
them and by Saturday night both were
nearly Frustrated. The finding of the
body brought great relief, not only to
the grief stricken parents, but also to
the entire community, where all hearts
were keenly touched by the sad event.
