What Is commonly meant By reading
the riot act is better known than the
origin Of the phrase. The historical
riot act was passed by the British Par
lament In the reign Of George l. In
1714 II enacts that felony Is commit
ted when twelve or more persons nm
lawfully. riotously and unanimously
assemble together to the disturbance
Of the public peace. 30 to continue to-
gether for an hour after being COM
manded to dispense By the sheriff or
undersherif or a justice or the mayor
Of the borough.
In the reading Of the British riot
act, which Is a necessary preliminary
70 its being put into operation. It Is not
customary to recite the whole Of the
statute. which Is rather long one, but
only the following proclamation, which
II contains: ~Our sovereign lord the
King chargeth and commandeth all per-
sons being assembled Immediately to
disperse themselves and peaceably TO

HOW TO MIX 1T.
matism With Simple Recipe.
Which is Easily Mixed.

A well-known authority on Rheuma-
tism gives the following valuable, though
simple and harmless, prescription, which
any one can easily prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle, and
take n teaspoonful after each meal and
at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can be
obtained from any good prescription
pharmacy at small cost, and, being of
vegetable extraction, are harmless to
take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case Of rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dinnn-
ishes with each dose, until permanent re-
suits are obtained, and without injuring
he stomach. While there are many SO
called rheumatism remedies, patent
medicines, etc, some of which do give
relief, few really give permanent results,
and the above will, no doubt, be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here at
this time.
Inquire at the drug stores Of this
neighborhood ELECTS the information that
these drugs are harmless and can be
bought separately, or the druggists here
will mix the prescription for our readers

OUTLOOK FOR IRON
 TRADE IMPROVING
PLANS ARE IN PREPARATION TO STRENGTHEN PIG MARkET-EF FORTS TO BRING OUT ADpl- TIONAL BUSINESS.

The Pittsburg Dispatch of Saturday says:
 An active effort is to be made short ly probably next week, to bring out additional business in pig iron and put the market on a basis from which it can have a healthy and natural reac- tion toward a somewhat higher and more profitable level of prices. The plan was first proposed at last weeks pig iron meeting in New York and at first was adopted, but upon further dis cussion it was decided to postpone any action for two weeks This plan is stated to have been to make a reduc- ton in southern iron, which would bring out business and practically eliminate competition between the north and the south. Doubtless acting upon information that some such ac- tion might be taken shortly, some cen tral western furnaces have been push ing sales more actively, and a number of interesting pig iron transactions have been put through by means of these efforts.
 
 starting. The three rail mills at the Edgar Thomas plant were put in oper- ation this week, together with three additional blast furnaces. The Besse- mer plant at Youngstown of the Re- public Iron and Steel company re- sumed Tuesday morning, having been idle since Friday night. and the United States tinplate plant of the American Sheet and Tinplate company is being got ready for operation. It will prob- ably be started Monday week. In some other quarters operations are on d somewhat reduced scale, although upon an average there is no material change in mill activity.
 Reasonable orders are coming in, coy- ering all lines, which are normally ac- tive at this time. Prices in general are unchanged but there is a little more active pressing for business on the part of iron bar merchants in the east and of rerolling mills in the west.

WORK OF RESCUE IS SLOW

Buckingham. Ont, April 26.-Half of the little French hamlet of Notfe Dame de'Salette, 16 mile from here on the Lievre river. is buried tonight un- , der sliding mountain and at least o0 of its small population are known to have perished The hamlet has no telephone or telegraph and neither is it on a railroad. Meagre news of the disaster came in by messenger from the physicians and other rescuers who hurried there when the first calls for aid came.
 The river Lievre winds at the foot of the hamlet and a mountain lowered behind it. Spring rains for days past have been melting the snow and ice on the mountain side and streams have been coursing down to the river. At o'clock this morning part of the noun tain started to slide toward the river. It tore a path of death and destruction for its way. and those who were not killed when their homes were en- gulfed, were left buried under the mass of rocks and earth
 Camille La Pointes house stood in the path of the avalanche. He and his family of II are known to have per ished. Eight others whose names have not been obtained. are known to be missing Mrs. Des Jardins cottage also was swept away. and she, with her two children, a domestic and n hired man, are known to be buried in the landslide.
 De'Salette, like many hamlets of it's kind, rambles into gardens and little fields on the mountain side, so about half of it was not in the path of the avalanche. The sliding mass rush ed with roar and spread fan-like over part of the places and dumped itself into the swollen stream at it's foot. Cut off from the outside world, mes- sengers were dispatched to Poupere. the nearest hamlet. Those who ar rived first estimated that at least d dozen houses were crushed in the path of the landslide Buckingham was ap- pealed to, but the flight of the mes sengers across the spring roads was slow. Those first on the scene found DeSallette in a panic with the unin- Jured ones packing their belongings for flight.
 | The first messengers to Buckingham | ordered 25 coffins to be sent to De- | Salette.

DRAY'S RECORD
 FOR POLE VAULT

Philadelphia. April 26.-(Special )-The sity of Pennsylvania carnival on Frank lin Field was the breaking of the worlds record for the pole vault by N. R. Dray of Yale, whose mark was 12 feet 61a inches, just one inch over the previous record held by himself.
 Shaw of Dartmouth also came in for hearty applause when he equalled the 120- yard hurdle record of :15 1-5 The Michi- gan team scored great victory in the two-mile relay championship race, the principal event of the meet. Michigans time was S:O4 2-5 Pennsylvania was sec ond and Columbia third.
 The one-mile relay race was captured by Wesleyan, with Massachusetts Tech second and Ohio State third.
 Rutgers college captured the one-mile re- lay race for small colleges. Western Maryland was second and Carlisle third.
 Burroughs of Illinois won the shot-put with a mark of A feet inches. Kruger of Swarthmore was second with 43 feet 61s inches, and Bangs of Harvard third, with Az feet 11s inches.
 Miller of Indiana and Dupree of Carlisle tied for first place in the high jump at six feet. Moffitt of Pennsylvania was next with feet inches.
 Michigans showing in the two-mile re- lay frightened the other teams entered in the four-mile event so that all were scratched, giving the race to Michigan by default.
