PENNSY'S BIG

"The Pennsylvania will soon place

burg on the inspection trip which he,
the board of directors and other offici-

the lines east and west of the Smoky

lines east and west of Pittsburg is 10. :
900 tons. At the present rate of S2S a

addition to this the company will re-
quire not less than 200 more steel pass

MISS ALLEN GOES
TO MAIiNVILLE

Miss Alice Smull. teacher of the

was i'll of typhoid fever when the
school opened. has so far recovered as
to be able to resume her position. She
took charge of her school on Monday
morning.
Miss Ella Allen of Bloomsbury, who
acted as a substitute for Miss Smull,
has accepted the position of teacher of
the Mainville school in Columbia
county, which was brought into the
limelight by the elopment of the teach
er, Miss Helen Msuser, who became
the wife of Alan B. Roat of Washing
ton, D. O. last week after teaching
about one month. Six different teach
ers filed the position last year. while
Miss Mauser was the second woman
teacher to elope from the school. The
position pays fifty-fve dollars per
month
The directors of Main township had
large number of applicants, but Miss
Allen was chosen because of her past
success in teaching both in this city
and Bloomsbury.

RIVER HIGHEST IN

The slow drizzling rain, which fell
yesterday, following the rains of Sun
day and Monday would seem to indi-
cate that the drought is effectually
broken and that henceforth I'VE shall
have plenty Of rain. Best of all the
weather continues warm so that under
the effect of the moisture the grain

make up for lost time.
The river has risen slightly and at
present is higher than at any time
during the summer This does not i'm
ply, however, that the rise is consid-
erable. Many Of the larger rocks still
protrude above the water and the
stream is only slightly muddy. Never
theless the river presents changed
appearance and the probability is that
additional rains will cause higher
water before winter sets in.

TWO SHERIFF
WILLIAMS MET

Sheriff D. @. Williams yesterday re-
turned from Huntingdon, where he
took Arthur Welliver to the reformat.
oTy. An amusing incident of his trip
is told as follows by the Huntingdon
Daily New Era:
That Williams is q popular name
at least in two counties in Pennsyl-
vania when aspiring to Office is shown
by little coincidence which brought
to Huntingdon on Monday two sheriffs
by that name. One was Sheriff Frank
Williams, of Venango county and the
other was Sheriff d. c. Williams, of
MOntour county. Neither had met the
other until they got together in Hunt
ingdon, the one on mission to the re.
formatory, the other in search for a
man who had jumped his bail. Both
fell into the hands of Col. Bathurst
our genial chief of police, and were
escorted, of course not to the lock-up
nor the county jail, but around over
town to see the sights They paid
many complimentary remarks to Hunt
ingdon and of course the Colonel
invited them back for "Old Home
Week" next year. -

NEW method
Of FUN|CAT|ON

The school board has adopted new
method Of fumigstion. discarding the
elaborate aud more or less expensive
regenerators whereby the formalde.
hyde gas was produced by an alcohol
lamp and using in its stead n simple
and inexpensive device wherein with.
out the agency Of heat formaldehyde
gas IS more quickly produced in more
concentrated form.
Ii was not until some twenty years
ago that the germioidal properties Of
formaldehyde were recognized aud that
IL began to displace sulphur as dis.
infectant. Until quite recently, how.
ever, the gas was generated through
the agency OF an alcohol flame. The
presence OF the burning alcohol made
it unsafe to place the regenerator in
the room to be fumigated and it was
customary when using il 10 set 1t in a
hall or another room adjoining, con
Quoting the formaldehyde gas into the
closed room by means OF long tube in.
serted in the key hole. Meanwhile, the
Janitor was supposed to be at the side
OF the regenerator to prevent mishap.
Recently il was discovered that bet
ter results are accomplished bv omit
ting the flame and simply mixing with
the formaldehyd de potassium permang.
anate. AS soon as the two chemicals
unite there is violent ebulition or
boiling, during which the gas is thrown
of in enormous volume. Indeed, il has
been discovered that within ten min.
utes after the potassium permangsnate
has been mixed with the formaldehyde
eighty per cent of the whole quantity
of gas is given Off thus producing a
volume which of necessity fills every
recess and corner of the room.
Owing to the absence of the alcohol
flame and the consequent danger from
hre the formaldehyde can be directly
applied by mixing the chemicals in
the room to be fumigated. The pres
ence Of the janitor is not needed.
The apparatus is simplicity itself
and in general way may be describ-
ed as tin bucket set in dish basin,
the former to contain the chemicals
and the latter to catch the liquid that
may boil over. Obviously a bucket
and dish basin, along with the chemic.
ais, are all that are essential when it
becomes necessary to fumigate resi-
dence.
The new method of fumigation orig
mated with the State board of health
of Maine. 1t has now been adopted by
the State department of health Of
Pennsylvania.

SHELTERING HOBOES
IN LOOKUP

The tramps are coming to town in
large numbers. No less than five had
sought the shelter of the lock up at
O'Clock last night.
Although the hoboes put up the usu-
al plea of being in search of work
they bear the usual earmarks and there
is little doubt that work is the last
thing they desire. AS autumn ad.
vances the number of tramps is on the
increase and the police as we'll as the
citizens of town are much annoyed.
1t would seem pretty safe to assume
that the hoboes with practically no ex-
ceptions are all that they seem to be
and that the best remedy to be applied
would be the ball and chain. Feeding
and sheltering the tramps is only en-
couraging vagrancy.
