MAIL CARRIER ARRESTED.
Postoffice Inspectors Were at Work on
the Case for Several Months News
of the Arrest Great Surprise.
TAKEN TO SCRANTON ON SATURDAY.

Charles 5. Schaubla, a mail
carrier in Chambersburg, was
arrested on Friday evening, by
Postoffice Inspector Clarke,
charged with stealing from the
United States mail.
For some months complaints
have been made to the postal au
thorities that money sent through
the mails had been missed and
never arrived at it's destination.
AS result of these complaints :
postoffice inspectors have been
quietly working on the case and
it was not until Friday after the
arrest. that anything definite
concerning the case was known.
1t was almost 5 o'clock Friday
evening when quiet looking
stranger walked up to Mr.. Schau-
bla, who was returning from the
afternoon delivery, and asked HIM
to change five-dollar bill. This
Mr.. Schaubla did and the man
then secured the damaging evl
dence which caused his arrest,
The stranger then stated that he
was postoffice inspector and
was compelled to arrest him.
The inspector at once took HIM
to the postoffice and search was
made. He Informed the postman
that he was sorry that duty com
PEELED him to make the arrest and
that If he would confess to the
extent of the robberles he would
recommend leniency. Still he
stoutly denied having anything on
his person, except the marked
bills that had been placed in a de-
coy letter, one of which had been
given to the inspector in change
for the tve dollar bill When the
search was made two more letters
were stated to have been found.
When Commissioner Bonbrake
heard the above story he ordered
Mr.. Schau ola placed under $1,000
bail to answer the charge of wo-
latlng section 5467 OF the postof-
flee rules, at the next term of the
United States district court of
the middle district, which meets
IN Scranton. Section 5467 refers
to postoffice employees opening
letters and taking therefrom their
contents.
Deputy Marshall H. S. Laurlsh,
of Harrisburg, arrived in Cham
burg, Saturday afternoon at 1;30
o'clock, and after a short consul
tation with United States Com
missioner Bonbrake, decided to
take the prisoner to Scranton,
where he will be tried at the Sep.
tember term of United States
district court.
Mr.. Schaubla was well known
to many of our citizens, having
visited this place several times.

TERRIFIC STORM.
Three Men Killed aud Number Injured
BY Lighting at Gettysburg
Last Week
GOVERNOR STUART FRUSTRATED.

As the result OF terrific elec
trical storm which passed over
the Pennsylvania national guard
encampment at Gettysburg
Thursday night, three troopers
were killed and two score iniur.
ed, some of them seriously, by
beng struck by lightning. The
known dead are:
Private Morrison, Tenth re-
glment.
Private Barbe, Eighteenth re.
giment.
Private CARRIER, Company S.
Tenth regiment. The latter s
body was completely severed In
twain as though by a sword.
The storm struck the camp
about 8 o'clock. 1t lasted only a
half hour. In ten minutes the
trio of guardsmen and the boy
had been killed by the lightning,
the tents, which covered five
square miles, leveled, and the en-.
campment ground flooded. Each
victim was killed while IN bis
tent. Companions of the dead
men were badly burned and stun
he'd and had marvellous escapes
from the fate of their terminates.
All of the dead prlvates are from
the Second brigade, located in
the western part of the state.
Governor Stuart, with his sis.
ter, Miss Cora Stuart, was hold
ing a reception at division head
quarters, located on a knoll and
overlooking the En- mittsburg
road. There were mere than
twoscore of officers, civilians and
women IN the party. In front of
the division tents Is tall metallic
flagstaff. Although there were
threatening clouds, the governor
and his friends did not go into
the tent because there was no
ram.
Then came terrific clap of
thunder. A bolt of lightning
struck the top of the flagstaff and
ran to the bottom. 1t hit the
ground not more than a dozen
feet from where Governor Stuart
and the others stood. AS it did
so the governor and the officers
and civilians fell to the ground
stunned.
At the same time there were,
one after another, three claps of
thunder and lightning bolts.
These are believed to be the ones
that killed the three soldiers.
Then the wind and rain descend.
ed upon the encampment upon
the prostraJe forms of the COVER
nor and the others, and the divis-
ION tents were swept over upon
them. Also, all of the tents,
from one end of the encampment
to the other, were keeled over.
Pinned beneath the canvas
tents, soggy from the downpour
of rain, and the supports the
militiamen were unable tor five
minutes to free themselves.
Finally squad of the men of
the Philadelphia regiments, who
had seen the bolt crash INTO the
metallic flagstaff, hurried to the
aid of the governor and his
friends. The latter were so com.
pletely buried that they had to
be dug out with picks and shov.

made from rose leaves If the directions of this old recipe from the orient be care fully followed.
 The roses should be cut fin full bloom and as fresh and fragrant as possible. pull out the petals and spread them on a tray to dry and prevent mildew. When sufficient have been cut to fill a jar of the desired size put the petals into a preserv-. Ing kettle with a little water and let simmer until tender. Add enough sugar, to make a rich syrup and boil until thick. Pour into glass jelly tumblers and seal
 This makes a delightful and unusual conserve and is the most delicious of. havoring extracts when added to pud-; dings. sauces and custards, and Is also added to mincemeat with pleasing effect.
 Those daintiest of sweets. candied rose leaves, are the simplest of things to make. though their dainty appearance gives them look of being difficult. With care one can hardly fail.
 Make a very thick syrup of the best white sugar and a little water and let 1t boil until 1t will thread" when dropped. from the spoon. Then drop the thicgest, and most perfect rose petals into 1t. In two or three minutes lift them out care-t fully and place on oiled paper to dry. After about l5 minutes drop them again Into the hot syrup and spread them again; on oiled paper to dry. Dust thickly with the finest pulverized white sugar on both sides. The freshest and most fragrant petals should be used.
 Fresh roses may be kept much longer if little alum is dissolved In the water in, which they are placed. r
 If We but cultivate our opportunities and utilize the flowers and herbs growing about us we will find that there are many charming scents and favors that have been waiting at our very doorsteps which We have failed to utilize. The rose ger- nnium has delightful odor and impnrts most enjoyable and distinctive fiavor.t The verbena also has properties of this nature. and if you look about you arc very apt to find the useful patch of mint growing within short distance of your house. The rinds of the lemon and orange have fiavoring power far greater than the juices of these fruits. as the skins con tain the essential oils.

saas 6 He Time gf Roses.

Now that the time of roses is with us we must not forget that this time will not be for long and we should do our best to make with the leaves those dainty preparations that will keep its sweet scent with us throughout the year. The rose jar or potpourri can be made to keep the scent of the rose for a long time, even though the beauty of the flower is gone.
 For the sweetest of potpourri gather the roses in the early morning. before the dew Is of them, and spread the petals out to dry. When thoroughly dry, place them fin layers in a stone jar and over each half-inch layer of petals sprinkle salt from a salt-shaker. Add fresh, dry pe- tals every morning, sprnkling salt over each layer, until the jar is full. Let it stand 10 days. stirring once each day with wooden spoon. Then remove the petals from the jar and replace, sprinkling each halfinch layer with the following mix ture: An ounce of cinnamon, an ounce of allspice and an ounce of cloves, ground coarsely together. When the jar is filled. cover 1t and let stand another 10 days to ripen.- Have ready onefourth ounce each OA uAlSllCt unu ClONeS, udlI uu ounce of cinnamon and a quarter of pound each of lavender and Florence or rls root. Mix these well together and place alternately in layers with the roses In the prettiest rose jar you possess. To each layer may be added a drop each of oil of geranium. rose. neroli, violet and almond. F
 A simpler recipe is as follows: Gather one peck of fresh rose petals and spread them on papers in the sun to dry. sprink- ling over them pint of salt. Turn them each day while drying. When quite dry put them into stone crock, add one ounce each of coarsely ground cloves. nut meg. cOriander seed and orris root and little oil of bergamot. Over all pour an ounce of alcohol and a teaspoonful each of essence of rose, violet and lavender. Stir each day for a week, then place in rose jars and keep well covered. It will retain its delicate and exquisite fragrance for years. Remove the cover and stir It slightly and the air of the room will be daintily perfumed.

 These semiprincess gowns. with a panel down the front, or in both the front and the back, with a belt at the sides. are very much liked this season, and some very attractive morning gowns are seen where the bodice and skirt are made separately and then joined by a belt of the material.

THE RI TAIL GRAFT
 ON THE CANTALOUPFS
One Reason 'Ascribed For Low Prices and Poor Demand in the East.

The following special dispatch to
 the Los Angeles Times a few days ago from Boston, is printed for the benefit of those connected with the lcantaloupe industry. The fact that
 there was a slum in the market a few days ago is generally known and it was caused in large part by
 the congestion of many shipments delayed by floods. etc. Then, too, it is stated that the eastern market is
 not so hungry for cantaloupes as a year ago or rather that since the panic a lot of people who bought cantaloupes a year ago are now do
 ing without them. The dispatch to the Times, however indicates that the retailer in the eastern market is the real stumbling block. He has been so much in the habit of making easy money on eastern melons that he cannot reconcile himself to small CT profits nor adjust the supply to the demand as he would in other lines. The dispatch says:
 The 1908 crop of cantaloupes Is the greatest in years, yet wholesale dealers can not sell them, and pro- ducers are likely to suffer a heavy loss.
 The fruit is rotting on the hands of the big wholesalers, while the public, anxious to buy. Is deterred because of high prices. The req son for this, according to the big wholesalers, is the course adopted by the retailers.
 Tn former years cantaloupes have sold at from ten to fifteen cents each to consumers, and the retailers have paid from one-half to two thirds Of that amount. This year the retailer buys the melons at from 2h to 4 cents each" explained Man ager Simpson of the John B. Drake O., No. 94 Solth Market street,

Large white pearl buttons and buttonholes were used down the entire length of the frock at the left, and sthe strap belt was stitched to the gown. So that when fin- ished its was all in one piece.
 Another pretty. style shows this same Idea of the large buttons from guimpe to hem, but the closing Is down the cen ter of the front, Instend of at the side. The second gown shows little more pretentious gown sketcircd than that just described, but this model also could be easily copied.
 Linen, cotton rajah. chambray or such material could be used',for such n frock. the skirt of which was short and plalted in style.

Inexpensive Frocks for Summer Wear.

The clever woman, who has good taste and judgment in selecting becoming clothes. can always look well gowned in summer. even if expense has to be most carefully considered. as the materials for thin summery frocks are cheap, and now adays 1t is smart to have ones frocks very simply made and trimmed.
 or course. the designing of these very simple gowns must be irreproachable, and the style must be novel and unusual, even If unpretentlous. A study of the frocks sketched will partially explain this idea, as both of the gowns pictured are smart and modish, and still are not elab- crate, and are well within the scope of the home dressmaker. The linen frock made in semiprlncess style. both back and front views of which are shown in the drawing, was most attractive in the original, and the linen-covered buttons down the center of the back, from the yoke to the bottom of the skirt was a specially attractive feature. The model gown was of pale blue linen, with heavy
