TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
RAGING At SCRANTON
Nearly a Thousand Cases Re-
ported in One Month.
TRACE INFECTION TO RESERVOIR
Dacilll in Water SuppIy-st:te Takes
Hold OF Sources-Other Cities
Are Drawn Upon For Nurses
Strain Tells on Physicians.

Scranton, Pa. Typhoid fever,
which was discovered in Scranton on
December z, has already a death list
OF seyenty-three, out of $40 cases, in
a population of 10000.
knowledge. that the water supply
was responsible fer the epidemic
came as a shock to the city. Scran-
ton had long prided itself on the pur-
ity of its water, but the prevalence
OF typhoid in sections supplied from
the Elmhurst dam soon attracted
suspicion, and this suspicion became
a certainty, when DR.. Dixon, Penn
sylvania's Health Commissioner, an
nounced that an analysis Of water
taken from Roaring Brook gave evil
denee OF typhoid bacilli.
Roaring Brook empties into the
Elmhurst dam. Water supplied from
other reservoirs owned by the Scran-
ton Gas and Water Company is free
from germs.
For a time the daily number of
new cases reported has averaged fifty.
It is hoped the energetic and untiring
efforts of Mayor DimmicG and the
local and State health authorities are
beginning to show their effects
against the. epidemic.
Owing to The rapidly increasing
number of cases in the last week, II
was decided to fit UP the armory OF
the Thirteenth Regiment as an emer'
gency hospital. Thus far the regular
hospitals have been able to acconmo'
date the patients, but the Emergency

Mrs. James P. Dickson, daughter-in
law OF the late Thomas Dickson
president of the Delaware and Hud

the head of a committee OF wolneI
who have volunteered for the relic
of the poor and the afflicted.
Four large public hospitals arr
filled to their capacity, and at 1eas
a dozen nrivate saniteriums ART
crowded with patients suffering from
the disease. Physicians and NURSE
are working until they are utterl!
exhausted. ~andtseveral Of them have
succumbed to the fever.
1t has remained for ,Wilkesbarrt
to take ne first strenuous measure!
for self-protection. A proclamation
/ was issued signed by the mayor anC
chief Of police warning the peoplt
against entering Scranton. and off
GERS were placed at the railroad sta
lions to prevent any passengers from
this place alighting there. All per
sons who leave the trains are closely
questioned. and if they have come
from Scranton they are detained IL
the stations and politely requested
to leave on the next train.

Chicago.-The lynching record for
the years is s~ixty-nine.
The total number of deaths by vio-
fence during 1906 shows a small in
cas- W 1905, being $3.50, as COM
pared with 9212. The steady in
crease of suicides continues. The
number for 1906 is 1925, which ex-
ceeds the homicide record, and is an
Increase Of 143 over 1905.
The record of embezzlement, for
gerry, defaulting and bank wrecking
shows a large increase over 1905 and
is the largest total since 1894, being
$14,734,S63, as compared with So
613,172 in 1905.
This large increase is principally
due to the footing of bank deposits
by such bankers as Stensland in Chi
cago and Nipple in Philadelphia. The
losses of 1906 are distributed as fol-
lows: Stolen by public officials, ST.

To Break a Stable Kicker.

The best means is to give him q
sand bag to exercise upon. Fill a
grain sack half full of sand and swing
1t up to the ceiling with a rope so
the sack will hang just where the
heels of the horse will have good
play upon it. Tie the horse in the
stall with a good strong rope and
let him kick. At the first kick the
bag will swfas away and return, CIV
ing the horse as good as he sent. For
the next few minutes, there will be
a lively mix-up between the horse
and the sack. Init the sack will hold
| it's own, returning all it receives with
! interest. The horse, in bucking
! against the real thing, will soon
| come to a realization Of the fact, and
! will be thoroughly cowed. Leave the
| sack behind him for a week or Sc
and then remove 1t. If he ever shows
! a tendency Of getting into his old
habit of kicking, give him another
punch-bag to exercise wlth.-Joshua

Saving Waste Vegetables.

On most farms there is enough In
the way OF small and unstable veg
etables that go to waste each fall to
carry a good-sized flock Of poultry
through the winter in the matter Of
that very essential part Of their ra-
ton, green food. Take the cabbages
which are too small to cut, the small
potatoes which are unstable and the
other small root crops; gather them
all and store them away in pits out
of doors, bringing them in to feed
during the early days Of winter at
the time when the poultry sadly miss
the green food. 1t is not hard to save
the cabbages for a long time in the
winter. In preparing the vegetables
for the table during the winter, save
the refuse portion for the fowls in
stead Of sending it to the swine; true,
hogs thrive on this sort of stuff, but
it will pay a larger profit if fed to
the poultry. 1t doesn't make much
difference what this Is, carrot or po-
tato Feelings, cabbage leaves, apple
skins, almost anything that Is green
will do a world of good to the poul-
try.-John- A. Murkin, Jr.. in the

RUSSIAN POLICE Chief SLAIN
Gen. Launitz, Project of St. Pet.
ersburg, AsSassinated.
Murderer Killed With a Sword bv
Victims Aide-Dead Official an
Oppressor Of Revolntionaires.

st. Petersburg, Russia. - General
Won der Launitz, project of police of
st. Petersburg. was a~ssassinated at
noon. He was present in his Official
capacity at the Inauguration of the
new hospital for skin diseases ON
Lopuchinskaia street, which was
opened by the Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Oldenburg.
After the service in the chapel of
the hospital General Launitz was es-
cort1ng the Duke and Duchess to-
ward the door when a we'll dressed
young man fired two revolver shots.
both piercing the projects brain. He
died on the spot.
An officer seized the assassin's re-
volver and the Grand Dukes aldo
drew his sword and ran the murderer
through h body, killing him. Two
bystapders were arrested.
General Launitz was formerly
Governor of Tamboff, where he dealt
severely with the revolutionaires. II
is believed the assassin came from
Tambof.
Won der Launitz as project of r~o-
lice OF st. Petersburg was practically
the absolute rIler of the Russian
capital. The dissolution Of the ma
tional Duma left him with this high
authority, of which he made full use.
| In the last days of last year a de-
tached SQUAD of secret police arrested
nearly 500 persons charged with I'M
activity in revolutionary matters
ana political agitation. Thirty-three
OF the prisoners were women. whose
language on certain occasions had
brought them to the notice of the no.
lice.
The murder of Yon der Launitz.
prefect of police in st. Petersburg
by a Terrorist shows how unreal is
the apparent quiet in Russia. The
Government has taken the severest
measures to suppress rebellion. A
state OF siege prevails throughout
most Of the provinces. drum-head
trials still rule, the administrative
processes of imprisonment and exile
have suffered little interruption, but
! the spirit of the Terrorist organize
ton never dies. Government absolu-
tism only fans 1t into fresh outbursts
of crime.
The assassination Of Won der Lau-
nitz has caused a powerful impress
sion, both in the press and among
the public.

Cracked Corn.

N1SCACu OOKbS
This well-known food holds thu
highest place, not because Of its
value, or that it is best, but from the
fact that it has been used so long
and Is so convenient that to displace
it Is not an easy undertaking. 1t
may be standard" in the estimation
OF many, but it is not the most suit
able food for adults or chicks at this
season of the year, al 1t is heating
and f~attening. 1t is unnecessary to
go to much expense to feed birds
when there is so much green material
on hand growing l~1xuriantly, as the
birds will find and secure more food
than they can consume. OF course,
they may have some cracked corn
given them, but Is they will eat be-
tween meals. and no one can prevent
them, 1t is harmful to have O full
supply.
Vegetables, cooked and raw, are
excellent, and there is nothing better
than meat, especially cooked. They
require grit to assist them in digest
ing their food, and the grit must not
be neglected. Chicks fed from the
table turn out to be the best all
around birds Of any, but this Is only
possible with a few chicks, as table
scraps are limited in quantity. A
brood OF late-hatched chicks will not
be Objectionable on the table, II they
are kept growing. and they will cost
but little at this season. Cracked
corn is not a summer food, but they
may be used sparingly with other
kinds.-Nashville American.

JAP CORNERS POTATO CROP.
California Paying Tribute to One Of
the Little Yellow Brothers.

Los Angeles, CaL-The people Of
all California are paying tribute to a
shrewd little Japanese, Kinya Shima,
of Stockton.
He cornered the potato market and
holds the situation in hand. He will
be virtual dictator of prices until
next season
He and the Japanese companies he
control stands to sell their crop for
81, 5000 and Shima will himself
clean up $250,000.
This is the explanation OF the high
figures paid for potatoes for three
months and why they continue going
higher. Shima, who is a potato
grower, tried last year to corner the
market, but failed. This year he
controls eighty per cent. of the crop.
