HOME BURNED IN
VALLEY TWP.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gale NJ.
Dyer, Valley township. was wiped
out Monday eve in a few minutes,
when lamp exploded in the front
room, scattering the burning oil. The
building was half consumed before
any help arrived on the scene of con.
tiagration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dyer and their baby
live about hundred yards east of the
f. p. Johnson place beyond Mausdale
Last evening Mr.. Dyer was at the
home of his father law, Mr.. Mer-
rill, while the wife and child were
alone at home. Mrs Dyer was at work
about the house, and the baby was
seated at the kitchen table.
A lamp was lighted in the front
room. Without moments warning
Mrs. Dyer heard the child scream and
fall, the door between the kitchen and
the front room slammed and the lamp
i'll the front room exploded. The burn
ing oil was thrown about the room,
which was instantly ablaze in many
places.
Mrs. Dyer rescued her child, and
succeeded in taking very few small
articles from the burning home, beside
which nothing at all was saved. The
building was totally destroyed.
BY the time help arrived on the
scene the house was half consumed.
Fortunately the wind was blowing
away from the barn, and that structure
was saved. Mr. Dyer carried some in

PLUCKY WOMAN
AVENCES insult

Our neighbors on the south side like
Danvllle are badly infested with
trsmps.F Neit6eriSouth Danville no1
Riverside, however, is policed and the
residents are in manner without
protection. Fortunately, as was de-
monstrated by little affair which
took place Tuesday some of the resi-
dents are able to take care of them
selves.
During the early hours of Tuesday
forenoon a hobo appeared at the house
of John Snyder in Riverside and ask
ed for something to eat. Mr.. Snyder
is puddler employed at the Reading
Iron works, this city. Fortunately he
is on the night turn this week and
when the hobo called Tuesday he was
up stairs asleep.
The tramp was a Polander, although
in every other respect he resembled
the typical hobo with all the ear
marks of vagrancy. Mrs. Snyder hand
ed him some food, which the fellow
proceeded TO eat in leisurely way.
He evidently thought that Mrs. Sny-
der was at home alone, for no sooner
had he eaten the food she had given
him than he grossly insulted her.
The woman could hardly believe
that the wretch would repay her kind
ness with such conduct. She believed
it to be duty that she owed to So
ciety as we'll to herself.to administer
to him sound drubbing and she wad-
ed into him.
When it is explained that Mrs. Sny-
der weighs 275 pounds it will be un-
derstood that she did good execution.
She knocked the hobo down with the
first blow. The fellow rose to his feet
and she knocked him down again.
Then she called her husband.
When Mr.. Snyder came down stairs
the hobo had pulled himself together
aud waddled off. He was easily locat-
ed, however, up along the railroad,
and the husband hurried after him de-
termined that there should be a prompt
and satisfactory settlement.
Overtaking the hobo he took him
back to the house for identification.
The fellow put up no denial but ask
ed only to be permitted to leave the
place. His request was finally granted
but not until Mr.. Snyder had supple
mented the beating his wife had Civ
en- the tramp with a sound drubbing
Of his own.
After Mr.. Snyder was through with
the fellow Mrs. Snyder took him in
hand and in her husbands presence
finished up the work that she had so
valiently began when alone. After the
husband and wife were done some of
the neighbors appeared on the scene
and wanted to play football with the
badly battered fellow, but they were
finally convinced that he had been
chastised sufficiently. About noon the
tramp was observed to cross the river
bridge into Danyille

Hits Pure Food Law.

Altoona. Oct. 14.-Judge A. O.
Smith, of Clearfield county, has hand
ed down decision declaring uncon-
stitutional clause seven of section five
of the pure food law, the same clause
that Judge Bell declared unconstitu-
tional. The decision was rendered in
the case of Edward Dougherty, charg-
ed with selling evaporated peaches
containing sulphurio acid. The de-
cision destroys the effect of the entire
law.

SCHOOL Paper NOT
SELF SUSTAINING

Messrs. Scott Helm and Ralph Still,
students of the high school, members
of the staff OF the "Orange and the
Purple appeared before the board Mon
day night explaining that the school
paper is confronted with an unusual
condition and that IL Is not selfsup-
porting. The number of subscribers
is one hundred lesss' than last year.
The advertising likewise does not APP
pear promising. There is al actual
shortage of $50 at the present time.
The school board was asked to make
an appropriation to meet the deficit
The committee was requested to ex-
plain what efforts had been put forth
to obtain subscribers and advertisers
for the paper. They explained what
they had done along both lines. The
dropping off of subscribers, they said,
was to be attributed TO a general lack
of interest, especially on the part of
new students.
1t was thessense of the school board
that the staff of the "Orange and Pur-
pie" had not put forth the proper ef-
fort to make the paper self-supporting
and that it was altogether too early in
the season to apply to the school board
for assistance. On motion of MI
Sechler e-mstter was laid ON the
table.
On motion it was ordered that a new
bible be purchased for use in the high
school.
The secretary reported that the
names omitted from the assessors list,
over seventy in number, had been
placed,on the books.
DR.. Barber called attention Of the
board to rumor abroad to the effect
that the writing and passing Of notes
in school is practice INDUCED in by
the pupils and suggested that the mat
ter be investigated and that if the
rumor be found 10 be true the teach
ers be urged to put forth every effort
possible to break up the practice he
matter was generally discussed when
it seemed to be the sense of the board
that whether note writing is INDUCED
in by the pupils or not the teachers
can be relied on to do their full duty
in the premises.

the PATH OF HONOR.

Gov. Broward of Florida says that he
appointed William James Bryan United
States Senator for the late Mr.. NAL
lory's unexpired term because of the
ability Mr.. Bryan has shown "as Prose
cutting Attorney in Jacksonville by sue
cessfully prosecuting the Ice Trust and
by his vigorous enforcement of all the
laws Of the State that it has been his
duty to enforce"
Gov, Folk of Missouri won his high
place in the public regard of his State
and Of the nation by his fearless prose-
cutting of the st, Louis Doodle ring.
Gov. Hughes of New York became a
national figure by laying bare colossal
iniquitIes in the management of the
great insurance companies.
Ethan Allen Hitchcock gained in the
Department of the Interior a fame of
which any American might be proud by
pushing the Government cases against
public land-thieves
The Iiveliest public interest is taken
in the activities of men like Francis J,
Heney, who prosecuted Government
land-fraud cases and who also camped
on the trail of the San Francisco graf
ters; like Attoney-Genersl Hadley of
Missouri and Frank Kellogg, the Gov
ernment's attorney IN recent actions
and Judge Lands, of Chicago, who in
their several ways have powerfully at
tackled the great problems of trust
monopoly.
There is no surer, shorter road to
usefulness and honor than that of the
man who devotes zeal and ability to en-
forcing public rights against private
greed and illegal monopoly and to the
punishment of the crimes of high fl
nance. New York World.

ADVANCE IN SUBSCRIPTION PRICE,

The editors in Manatee county organ
ind an association few days ago and
agreed to advance their subscription
price TO $1.60 a year. The large ad-
vance in the pT1ce Of the materials that
GO into the making Of . newspaper Is
given as the cause of the advance in
subscription price. While the cost of
publishing a paper is undoubtedly much
greater than IL was few years ago,
the Telegraph will maintain It's present
price Of 81 90 q year, but we shall have
TO ask prompt settlement from our sub
scribers, -Starke Telegraph.
The conclusion and determination the
True Democrat has arrived at. too but
every subscriber should see to it that
the subscription is advanced, to at least
their date in 1908, so that we may be able
to give our readers the best local news
paper possible under the increased cost
of production, and nothing but the best
should satisfy Leon countiRns.
