National Prote ctive Legion.

Many people in this vicinity are
greatly exercised over report being
made concerning the National Pro-
tective Legion and the action taken in
last biennial con vention. 1t is correct
ly stated that the cash dividend of the
organization payable each five years,
will be materially reduced. An authori-
tive statement concerning this society
so we'll known in our place, is to the
effect that cash dividend in future will
be declared upon purely mathemati-
cal basis and that the amount to be
paid each year, will not be known un-
til an actuary shall have made compu-
tations to determine it. In future the
dividends will vary each and every
year, and the amount paid on each full
rate certificate, will be changed to such
sum as is the actual increment upon
the certificates issued during the year,
five years previous there to.
This action was in accordance with
demands made by theInsuranceDepart-
ment of nearly every state in the union
where the Legion does business and it
was largely compulsory change.
However the change seems an admir-
able one inasmuch as it assures the per-
petuity of the society and removes all
obstacles exercised by the various In
surance Departments and other Off
cials in authority. Furthermore, it re-
moves all criticism as freely passed by
Old Line Companies. From its Ma
tional Offices we gather information,
that they earnestly approved the mea-
sure, and of its assurance of equity and
justice to all the membership. To the
public we will also state thas 925 rep
resentatives were in attendance at the
meeting and voted unanimously to
adopt the change that was made.
From the stand point of one who care
fully reviews the conditions as present
ed, good judgment indicates that cor
rect action was taken.
The first local presentation of "The
Lunatic and the Lady" will be at the
Emporium Opera House ou Wednes-
day, Oct 8. 1t is said to be very sue
cessful musical comedy built along
familiar lines but staged and present
ed far above the average Offering at
popular prices In fact, few comic
operatic shows at higher prices are
better done. In this piece the lunatic
has an exaggerated time as it were
The costumes and stage effects are bril-.
liant and the company in every way.
The management will scarcely be able
to offer a more meritorious musical
comedy on the season.

Free Dispensary for Tuberculosis.

Free Dispensary for Tuberculosis.
Following the successful operations
Of the FreeDispensary for Tuberculosis
in Wilkes-Barre and Reading, the State
Board of Health has decided to open
one in Emporium for the benefit of
those people of Cameron county who
are unable or unwilling to go sanitar-
ium. DIR. H. S. Falk, of Emporium,
will have charge of the dispensary,
and until suitable quarters can be pro-
cured he will conduct it from his office.
The class of people to be treated are
those who are too poor to pay for
medical advice.
Pulmonary Tuberculosis (or con
sumption as it is commonly called) is
one of the most dreaded as well as most
common diseases of the human body,
and by opening free dispensaries in
each county of the State, the Board of
Health will try and educate the people
in the proper methods TO combat it.
The dispensary is now open from
100 to 300 p. M, on Tuesdays and Fri
days of each month.

Found Dead.

Last Friday, Chas. Drangel, drove
a supply wagon from Fred Buehler's
lum ber camp on Hicks Run, to this
place to purchase, or rather get upon
the order of said Buehler supplies (?)
necessary for a sheep roost. About
80 p. M, he started for camp with a
load of beer, whiskey and other sup
plies (?) and when he reached the end
of the new State Road he stopped in
the middle of the road and was found
by Geo. L. Day, doubled up under the
wagon. Thinking the man drunk,
Mr. Day, assisted by Ray Haskins,
picked up the man placed him in the
wagon, ,unhitched the horses and pulled
the wagon out of the road. About FIVE
thirty O'Clock John A. Johnson, while
driving past discovered that the man
was dead. Justice of Peace, M. M.
Larrabee, was notified to take charge
of the remains, when he enpannelled
a jury composed of B. L. Spence, fore
man, VIM. Brown, Edward Viner, w.
s. Lingle, Geo. L. Day and Albert
Murray viewed the body and adjourn
ed until Saturday evening, when upon
hearing evidence, rendered the follow
ing verdict: "That Chas. Drangel,
whose body was found Sept. II, 1907,
in a wagon on the West Greek State
Road, near Day Bros tenement house,
came to his death from either falling
from his wagon, or from excessive use
ofliquor." His remains were taken to
LaBar's undertaking rooms and en-
balmed, being held there until worlds
received from his parents in Sweden,
who are said to be wealthy. Deceased
aged about 4s, came to America about
twenty yeras ago and used to work at
Brockwayville.
This case of embalming is said, by
all who have viewed the remains to be
a fine piece of work. Mr.. Rishell who
done the work, says he can keep the
body six months.

Waterloo, March 11.--Claiming to
have been robbed of $S7 in money, his
gold watch and chain, his Grand Army
badges, his papers of discharge as a
union soldier, and his membership GER
titicate in he order of boilermakers,
j. E. Austin, 81 years Old has been
begging his way, walking. and being
helped by sympathetic comrades from
Kansas TO Mason City, Iowa, where his
aged mother resides and whom he has
not visited for three years.
Austin applied to the police head
quarters for lodging. He bore with
him bundle containing his clothing,
his only earthly possessions. He was
foot-sore, lame, discouraged because
of his loss of money and mementoes,
and yet he was anxious to get to Ma
son City, as soon as possible, where
his mother, who is so years, old, is
living.
Austin says he has been working for
SCFSIdl years al AdIlSdS ana QGClQeQ
this winter to come to Mason City.
When he reached st. Joe, Mo-, he was
taken sick and was obliged to go to
a hospital. While there he claims to
have been robbed of all his money and
everything that he priced most highly
in life. When he recovered sufficiently
to travel he walked in the direction of
this place. Occasionally he would be
aided by an army conrade or the poor
master. but. large part Of the journey
was covered on foot
Mr. Austin claims to have been in
the first battle Of Bull Run, where
he received severe saber thrust across
the left hand. At the battle of Gettys-
burg his skull was injured by an ex
ploding shell. In two other engage
ments he was wounded, and bears the
marks of the enenly's displeasure in
four portions of the body. Captured
by the enemy he was confined for elev-
en- months in Libby prison, but eventu-
ally made his escape.
His G. A. r. membership card was
for the post at Ponca, Okla.
The aged veteran left on his way for
the place where his mother lives. She
will be surprised to see him, as he has
not written that he is coming.

Chicago, March ia romantic
marriage, arrest as a fugitive from JUS
tice and detention i'll a NChicago police
station are the recent experiences of
Grover Babcock, the son-in-laW OF
Millionaire Winfield, of Griswold, Iowa.
Babcock was arrested here in a
cheap lodging house. His wife, re-
fined young woman, attired in tall
or-made suit and sealskin. was found
in the shabby lodgings. She accom-
panied her husband to the station and
remained as long as she was allowed
to by the police. Joseph Gavin was
arrested with Babcock. The men are
said to be wanted for robbery in Red
Oak, Iowa.
The brides account of her expert
ences is that she married Babcock, who
was the Griswold Beau Brummell, and
they were sent to North Dakota, where
her father wished them to live on a
ranch of several thousand acres.
An offer of the ranch as a wedding
present failed to induce Blbcock to re-
main. He returned to Iowa, the police
are informed. and spent large sums of
money in luxurious living. The cash
assets of the couple when found were
Is cents. Babcocks alleged offense was
the purloining of jewelry. a diamond
and other valuables from a railroad
agent. He will be held until the sher-
iff arrives to take him to Red Oak.
