Christmas has vanished into the limbo
of has -beens, the socks are emptied OF
santa offerings, now doing daily duty
he new year has already grown stale
ind the world settled into its former
,ait of sameness.
1t is up to this borough, however, to
get into a record breaking pace this year
that will leave indelible tracks Of its
enterprise. On the fresh leaf of the
virgin year let there be inscribed re-
solutions for clean streets, good pave
mcnts, improved roads, live, executive
officers and mutual spirit of public vel
fare.
Bryan missed the presidency but he
rarely misses hitting the bulls eye
when in an oratorial state.
He once observed, while expoundin9
he merits of advertising, that The
nan who does not advertise his business
5 like the fellow in the dark who throws
kiss to his girl, he knows what he is
.oing but no one else knows"
Are you letting the world know what
sou are doing, or are you timidIy doing
things in the dark?
If the Suburban. Trolley Company in
) SIS upon keeping the aching public wait
ing so long between drinks" why moi
nave free amusement for the suffering
md waiting people?
A stranger in our midst, few nights
since, alighting from trolley car, un
tremendously put his foot into muc
puddle. As someone called Pleasant
,'ille," he remarked, 'Unpleasantville, J
should call it."
Such comments, such watery receptions
reflect disastrously upon the entcrpris,
of our citizens.
Why build fine houses, improve lots
make shop window displays, whitewasl
our fences and tie ribbons on the front
window shades while these antedcluviap
conditions exist?
Can we progress climbing down hill
Will those citizens possessing "gra,
matter" assert themselves and knock
out the ossiiicd cyphers of society?
The old time Shore Road for pleasur,
driving has solemnly slipped into for
getfulness. Many owners of fine horses
iavc long since sold their animals be
;ause the roads were spoiled by Other
nodes of locomotion. The trolley cal
rack and poorly kept, sunken road beds
ave made the former excellent highway
seourge instead of pleasure
Tt' vas supposed by most unsopllisticaf
ID tax payers along the line that when
he valuable franchise was turned oyei
% the Suburban Traction Company tha,
,he corporation would in turn keep ths
roads, over which it run, in good repair
Since the change of hands however, tn,
hopeful public lifts its head and trusts
hat the new owners will make good

-FOUR CASES
OF TYPHOID FEVER

Ever since the last regular meeting
of the borough council when Mr. Ever.
hart of the committee of health raised
the question whether typhoid fever
was not becoming prevalent and wheth-
er there was not some neglect in pla-
oarding the houses there has been more
or less anxiety on the score OF that
disase.
There seems to be settled convio-
tion among many citizens that the dis
ease exists in several different parts OF
town. Persons are found who claim to
have personal knowledge of the exist
ence of cases sufficient in number to
constitute some cause for fear Within
a few days one death has occurred as
the result OF the disease. Monday is
was currently rumored that there are
a dozen cases in town.
In order to obtain facts as to the
status of the disease DR.. Shultz, the
local registrar, was interviewed Mon
day eve. His report was most reassur-
ing. At that time, he said, there was
only four cases of typhoid fever in
Dsnviile at least, be explained, four
cases were all that had been reported
TO him. He thought it likely that
there might be few cases of fever
that had nos yet reached the stage
when they could be oonclusively dag
nosed.
From the above it is pretty evident
that there is nothing alarming iu the
situation at present. 1t is true, she
fact that typhoid fever exists here
should be sufficient to put the com
munity on its guard. discovering the
source of the disease il possible and
applying precautionary measures.

1t Is only just to the home team to
say that the lineup Friday was not
the regular strong one that will repre-

was not the fault of the management
that the regular players were not on

the team had wired Friday morning
that they would be ON hand for the
game, but without explanation failed
to appear at the last minute.

BACK BROKEN IN
FALL FROM BRIDGE

Falling from the abutment of the
Lewisburg bridge on the Northum ber-
land county side, late Saturday night,

tanned a broken neck. He was taken
to the Mary M. Packer hospital in
Sunbury on the $40 train Sunday

more than few weeks at the most.
Hockenberry was seen in Milton on
Saturday night getting on a street car
which was leaving for East Lewisburg
in company with a man from Lewis
burg. The name OF this man was not
known to those who saw him, and he
has not been seen since the time of the
accident.
The injured man was standing on
the abutment some time before mid
night, waiting for a train to 90 back
to Milton, when he lost his balance
and fell to the ground about twenty
five feet below. He was unable to
move and lay there for length of
time until a man from LeEisburg by
the name of Donaohy who was pass
ing above, heard his groans aud came
to his assistance. His friends in Mil.
ton were notified aud two men from
there came down early Sunday morn
ing aud took him to the Suubury hos
pitai.
He is aged % years, is single, and
lives with his widowed mother, OF
whom he is the only support Tie in
iured man was also veteran uf the
Spanish American war.
