steps, sidewalks, or any place where
people walk. The authorities should
never allow the highways and cutters
to be swept without first being sprink-

Personal and household cleanliness
should be observed. The speaker stat
ed that he had lived for months with
scores and hundreds of men who were
undergoing treatment for tuberculosis;
that he had sat regularly at the table
with them for months and months
where the cook for the mess, the wait

some Of them in the third or last stage
OF the disease-aud yet he was not in
teotsd and had no fear of infection
At this point the speaker enlarged
on his experiences at the Fort Stanton
sanatorium, a government institution
for the special treatment Of tubercul-
osis. lt was because OF his own ex
perience at the above sanatorium tina
he was enabled to set forth his views
with so much confidence.
The speaker closed by giving some
valuable points on treatment.

JOINT MEETING
Of commissioners

The two boards OF county commits
sioners, of Montour and Northumber-
land counties, held q joint meeting at
the court house yesterday. The object
of the meeting was to take action on
some matters pertaining to the river
bridge
The Northumberland county board
was represented by Messrs Tharp and
Hancock. The'two officials came to
South Danville on the 1Ol7 train and
were met by Messrs. Sechler and Cole
man Of the Montour county board.
The four men, accompanied by Hon.
r. S. zimmerman, county solicitor,
carefully examined the bridge, especi-
ally the wood paving, which, while
very satisfactory in most respects, is
the source Of much danger when wet,
causing horses to lose their footing
and fall The two boards also closely
examined the plot of ground connect
ed with the bridge west of the lower
wing wall, on which plot several grand
juries of Montour county in succession
have recommended that a retaining
wall be built.
1t was the sense OF the commission.
ers unanimously that something should
be done TO safeguard horses, as already
several valuable animals have been
crippled and at least one so badly in
jured that il had TO be killed
During the joint session that follow
ed it was ordered that communioa-
tion be addressed to the firm that
manufactured the creo-resinated blocks
TO determine whether it makes or sells
any compound or preparation to be ap-
piled to the paving when wet in order
to prevent horses from slipping.
Judging from the temper manifest
at the joint meeting the two boards Of
commissioners as at present oonstitut-
ed will get along very harmoniously
aud the antagonism which marked the
proceedings in the past when affairs
Of the two counties were involved
will be absent in the future Although
no action on either was taken yester-
day OIL adjournment it seemed to be
tacitly understood that the retaining
wall recommended on the DauYille
side of the river a. we'll as the new
wing wall on the south side will be
built in the very near future.

CASE IS STRICKEN
FROM THE RECORDS
Supreme Court Offended by In.
pertinent Language.

Washington, Nov. }.-Chief Justice
Fuller created a sensation in the su-
prene court of the United States by
announcing that papers in the case of
the Yellow Poplar Lumber company
vs.. 8. B. Chapman would be stricken
from the records of the court because
of the scandalous nature of the docu-
ments. The case came to- this court
on a petition fox writ of certiorari
from the United States circuit court
of appeals from the Fourth circuit.
The controversy involves a lumber
contract. The court of appeals decid-
ed in favor Of Chapman and the CON-
pany. in asking a review, stated:
1.-THE opinion of the court of appeals
Is so grotesque In its conclusions of
law and prepared with 50 little care
and study as to be almost unintelligi-
bic, even dramatically, not to say
legally"
The chief justice did not quote any
portion of the papers, but said they
were $50 tmpertinent and improper
that they would be stricken from the
docket in order to protect the record
of the court from scandal"

Indian Payment at Red Lake.

The payment Of monies due the
Red Lake band Of Indians, on
stumpage sales has been going on at
Red Lake agency sincelast Monday,
and it is probable that the payment
has been concluded, ere this.
Parties who have been at the
agency while the payment has been
made state that there have been no
disorders, and while it is believed
that some small quantities of whisky
have been struggled into the reser-
walton, unbeknown to the Indian
police and Agent Bishop, on the
whole the payment is much more
orderly than any ever held at the
agency. The Red Lakers have
never been inclined to orgies near
the agency because of the close
proximity of the agency and the
Indian police, but there have in the
past been some disturbances at
other points which were the direct
result of the introduction of liquor.

farmers of the Shotley district, and
whose farm is near Foy postohice,

OF pioneer life and has prospered
accordingly.
Mr.. Fogelberg called at the Pho.
neer office this forenoon and renewed

necessity, saying of the Pioneer:
The Pioneer is much better than
it used to be. 1t has improved con-

in northern Minnesota"
