DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.
State Live Stock Sanitary Board Active
IN the MATERIAL Cases Should be
Promptly Reported
Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. 20, 1908.

Harrisburg, Pa. Nov. 20, 1908.
Foot and mouth disease has appeared
or has been reported among cattle in
the counties of Montour, Northumber-
land, Union, Snyder, Juniata, Lehigh,
Lancaster, Delaware and Montgomery.
In each case the outbreak has been
traced to cattle shipped from Buffalo,
New York, during the last week Of
October or the first week OF November
Since then, the stockyards at Buffalo
have been thoroughly cleaned and
disinfected, and it is stated by the
federal authorities that there is now
no danger from that source. Many
cattle came to Pennsylvania during the
two weeks mentioned. All of these
shipments are being looked up as far
as this is possible but some have been
dispersed and are hard to trace. Hence
there is a possibility that foot and
mouth disease may occur anywhere in
the state, even in a place least to be
suspected.
1t is OF the greatest importance that
outbreaks shall be promptly reported
so that all necessary precautions may
be taken. Reports should be sent by
telegraph-charges collect-to the state
veterinarian at Harrisburg. All cit
izens should consider it their duty to
make such reports, in the interests Of
the public welfare. Just at this time
any unusual disease effecting the
mouths and feet of cattle should be
regarded with suspicion. If such disease
spreads from animal to animal there
can be little doubt as to its nature.
In repressiug this disease the United
States Department of Agriculture is
cooperating and is assisting the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board. AS a re-
suit of such cooperation it is possible
to pay to owners full value for all cattle
that may have to be destroyed on ac-
count of this disease provided the
owners cooperate with the public
authorities and do their part to prevent
the further spread of infection.
Every veterinary practitioner and
every cattle owner should be exceed
ingly alert to detect the first evidence
Of this disease and to report it. Where
cattle are known TO be affected, visitors
should be kept away for the disease
is one that may easily be conveyed by
persons who have been in contact with
or near affected animals. Persons who
are known to have been on infected
premises should be debarred from
places where cattle are kept until after
their clothing has been disinfected.
The disease is one that has caused
enormous losses and must be dealt
with in firm and effective way.

Former Reynoldsville Man En-
p1oyed at Yatesboro Elec-
trocuted in Mine.
BURIAL IN REYNOLDSVILLE.
Was Formerly an Engineer on
R. & F. c. R'y and Well
Known in Reyno1dsvil1e and
Vicinity.

William H. Lucas, who was an en-
gineer on the Reynoldsville & Falls
Creek Railway about fifteen years and
resided at Reynoldsville during that
time, was instantly killed by electrocu-
tion at Yatesboro, Pa, about 600 p. m.
Sunday, November %, 1908, when in
the act OF stepping over a wire that
carried about 450 volts. During the
shutdown for Sunday Mr.. Lucas and
some assistants undertook to repair the
inside of boiler. The heat was intense
and in order to make the surroundings
more comfortable, an electric fan was
brought into requisition. After making
repairs Mr.. Lucas, whose clothes we're
damp from perspiration and steam, came
outside and as he went to step over the
temporary wire, which was about foot
from the ground, his right leg came in
contact with the line and instant death
was the result.
The body was brought to home of
deceased's brother.in-law, d. II. Break
ey, on Grant street in this place, on the
~ 10 p. m. trolley Monday.
William H. Lucas was born in Polk
township, Jefferson county, January I,
1859, and would have been fifty years
old next January. He was the son of
F. M. and Mary Lucas, deceased. He
worked in the coal mines at Pancoast
for awhile and during that time became
acquainted with Eta Beebe, to whom
he was united in marriage January %,
1881. Unto them three children were
born, two of whom died in infancy One
son, Walter, now young man, and the
widow survive deceased. Mr.. Lucas
fired an engine on the Low Grade Di-
vision for some time and then accepted
position as fireman Oh the r. & F. G.
and was soon promoted to engineer. In
1904 he resigned as engineer on r. &
F. c., sold his property in town and
! moved out to California. He only stayed
out there ABOUT one year and returned
to this place. He accepted position
as engineer on the B., r. & P. branch
road at Yatesboro. and when work
slackened at the mines there he went
down to Lester, W. Va, and embarked
in the bakery and restaurant business.
Recently he returned to Yatesboro and
accepted temporary position with the
r. & P. G. Co. on the electric haulage
system, expecting to again run an en-
gine on the branch when business
picked up. Mr.. Lucas spent Sunday,
November Is, at home of Mr.. Breakey
in this place, his wife and son having
arrived here from West Virginia the
Friday previous. Several rooms had

Sentiment for Union So Long
Prevalent Has Finally
Crystallized.
FOR THE ADVANTAGE OF ALL
Business Mems Association
Last Night Endorsed Move
ment and Will Strive to Sc
cure West Sides Consent.

Since the burning of the West Reyn-
oldsville school building there has been
considerable discussion on the streets
regarding the advisability of trying to
effect union of the two boroughs for
the common good of all. Hitherto the
great barrier to such consolidation has
been the higher tax levy Of Reynolds
vile borough With the necessity Of
erecting new and modern building
the tax rate will be considerably raised
in West Reynoldsville, and If any street
paving is done, as it should be done,
the west sides tax levy will be even
higher than Reynodsvilles. Under
these circumstances 1t seems to be the
general opinion that union might be
effected on terms advantageous to both
sides.
AT the request of many business men
the matter was presented to the Bus
iness Mems Association last night and
freely discussed. Both sides Of the case
were heard and the necessary plan Of
work to ascertain the real sentiment of
the citizens in both boroughs was out
lined. There are private interests op-
posed to the move, but few deny that
consolidation would be for the general
good.
In view OF this, the Association felt
justified in appointing committee to
confer with the councils, to endeavor TO
get favorable consideration of the pro-
ject and II need be, act as an intermed-
iary between the two municipalities in
arriving at a common basis Of agree
ment.
The project is one of the most impor-
tant ever before our citizens and what
ever the result of the present agitation,
will eventually result In extending the
borough boundaries In other directions
beside towards West Reynoldsville.

Youth Was Accidentally Shot
While Hunting Saturday
South of Town.
BULLETS PENETRATED CHEST
Body Laid For an Hour and
Was Guarded by a Faithful
Dog Until Discovered by
Three Reynoldsville Boys.

Clemens Biggie, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred Biggie of Main street, accident
ally shot himself to death while out
hunting Saturday afternoon. just how
Clemens met this awful fate will never
be known as he was alone when it
occurred. Saturday forenoon he and
several other young men went out
hunting and about 800 p. m. Clemens
started off by himself and soon after
the separation the boys heard loud
shot, and 1t is supposed that is when
the accident occurred, but his dead
body was not found until after four
o'clock, when Albert Newberry, Oscar
Herold and Clyde Waite, who were
also out hunting, were attracted by a
dog lying pear stump. When they
approached the stump the dog growled
fiercely and would not allow them to
get near the stump, but the boys got
near enough to see man lying on the
ground apparently dead. The boys re-
ported to the nearest farmhouse, Albert
Hollenbaugh's, and telephone message
was sent into townafor Coroner j. G.
Sayers and he went out, but did not
hold an inquest as it was plainly
evident that Clemens had accidentally
shot himself. When the undertaken
went after the body at seven o'clock
in the evening the faithful dog was
still watching beside the dead man
and had it not been that brother
OF deceased had gone along the dog
would not have allowed Undertaken
Fleming to have touched the body.
The body was brought to the under
taking rooms of Hughes g. Fleming
Saturday evening and prepared for bur
ial and Sunday forenoon was taken to
the home of the sorrowing parents.
The supposition is that Mr.. Biggie
was standing on stump and the gun
dropped out Of his hands, the hammers
struck the stump and discharged both
barrels OF the gun, as there was two
marks on stump where hammers OF gun
had struck. The double load of shot
entered the body just beloy the breast
bone, tearing a hole a little larger
than silver dollar. A probe showed
that the shot went straight up through
body to right shoulder. Mr.. Biggie
was found at one side OF stump and his
gun, at other side, eight or ten feet
away from body. The accident occurred
on the hillside back of what is known
as the Archie Huntington place in
Paradise, about three miles south OF
town.
Funeral service was held in the
Catholic church at 900 a. m. yesterday,
High Mass being conducted by Father
\Lynch, and interment was made in the
catholic cemetery in West Reynolds
Vile.
Clemens Biggie was born at what
is known as "Dutchtown,n near Rath-
mel, Pa, and was 19 years, months
and 25 days old at time of death.
Clemens was an industrious young man
and had host OF warm friends. His
tragic death was shock to his parents
and friends. In the morning he left
home full of ambition and bright pros
poets for long life and soon after the
noon hour his young life was suddenly
snuffed out.

LYDIA e. PINKHAM

Nature and woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days Of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs Of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. ST.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years / had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times /
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
followed 1t, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muf,
it will do for other suffering women.

Louisville, KY. May S.-After hav-

$50 o'clock, when, after hours of
