DISPOSAL PLANT
IS DISCUSSED

The Pitt Construction company,
which is building the sewage disposal
plant at the hospital for the insane,
has been awarded the contract for %
sewage disposal plant at Bordentown,
n. j., at S5S, 900.
There are one or two facts i'll the
above statement that should not be
without interest to Danville people.
The cost of the plant is especially
significant, as Bordentown is some
where about the size of Danville.
Mr. Harshbarger, u member of the
contracting firm at present i'll this
city, explains that the construction of
"a, sewage disposal plant is not essen
italy expensive. What adds to the
cost, he says, is the construction of
sewers that are mostly included in the
contract. For instance, at the hospital
for the insane, in addition to the build
ing of sewage disposal plant, the con-
tract calls for the construction of ~
miles of sewers, the most of which, as
is we'll known, are deep and located
where the digging is hard. The pump
ing also becomes an expensive factor,
as the sewage has to be lifted seventy
feet.
Those towns, like Danvillc whose
sewer systems are practically complete
and have nothing but a disposal plant
to provide for are altogether in Il diff
ferent category and the cost is not ap-
palling. Mr.. Harshbarger stated that
there are few towns in which more OF
less pumping is not required in con-
nection with Il sewage disposal plant.
The height to which sewage has to be
raised is more likely to be ten feet ol
less than seventy feet as in the case
cited above. The cost of pumping i,
much reduced where the sewage has tC
be raised to only slight elevation.

QUARANTINE
IN D|PHTHER|A

During the past month eight cases
of diphtheria and one case of scarlet
fever have been reported. 1t was this
circumstance that was adverted to by
the school board Monday night in
connection with the fact that the
rules of quarantine, isolation, &C.,
where the above diseases exist, are i'll
the majority of instances not observed
as they should be.
In relation to the above DR.. p. G.
Newbaker, president of the local board
of health, was interviewed Tuesday.
He made it quite clear that many of
the rules laid down by the State de
partment of health to be observed i'll
the treatment of diphtheria and like
diseases, while of undoubted value, i'll
the homes of the poor are mostly i'm
practicable. The experienced practi-
toner simply does the best he can in
any case
For instance in diphtheria the rules
require that the patient have a spec
ial attendant and be confined TO room
with windows screened, the room. if
possible, to be of southern exposure
and as remote as possible from other
occupied rooms.
The physician pertinently asked how
this, the first and most important of
the rules laid down by the depart
ment of health, is to be carried out in
the homes Of the very poor, where the
cooking stove furnishes the sole
warmth and where the family is
crowded together in one room.
Likewise in the matter of quaran-
tine. The house is placarded and thus
the public is warned. This, it was
urged, ought to prove sufficient in any
enlightened community, where the
people understand the deadly nature
of the disease and what precautions
are necessary. Where the people are
utterly needless and seem disposed to
take any sort of risk as implied in
the cases reported at tho school board
meeting, the department of health

NEW SYSTEM
At LIBRARY

The trustees of the Thomas Beaver
Free Library held meeting Friday
night at which they decided to adopt a
new system of circulation. They also
authorized the removal of the covers
from all the books in the library.
At the meeting in question, besides
President, DR.. Jno Sweisfort, the fol-
lowing trustees were present: +. G.
Derr, W. j. Rogers, +. G. Schoch, +.
M. Harrington and w. f. Gosh. The
above action was taken on the recon-
mendation of the librarian, Miss Bird.
The new system, which is known as
the Nina Brown system, rebounds to
the advantage of the librarian and the
borrower of books alike. For the
former it facilitates work while the
latter is relieved of the cumbersome
card, which at all times was supposed
to have place III the borrowed book,
but which was constantly causing an
noyance by being mislaid or getting
lost.
In lieu of the heavy card each book
i'll the library on the blank leaves at
the end ON opposite pages herefter will
contain, pasted fast, dating slip and
a small paper pocket, the latter being
the counterpart of another "poclet"
in the library tray" bearing the
| borrowers name.
y small card, on which are marked
! the class and book number. the auth
or's name and short title, fits into the
| pocket and is kept in the book at all
times when the latter is in the library.
! When patron borrows volume the
date at which it is due to be returned
is written ON the dating slip past
ed on the blank leaf and the card con-
tanning title, book number, etc, is re.
moved from the book and placed in the
pocket in the tray.
This sutfices to hold borrowers res

do is to refer to the dating slip, whicl

1t was also decided that the cover,

only one recalled in which the book,

and again they have to be replaced
1t is believed that if the patrons OF
the library would exercise proper car,
the binding of the books in circulation
could be kept in good condition anC
fully as presentable as the inside OF
the volume.
The covers, dull and unsightly. it i,
held, detract much from the appear.

where the binding of the books Will

attraction that would arrest the eye OF
any person on entering. The novelty
of covering the books and the disad.

on by strangers visiting the building

Stalking a Buffalo Herd.

l cannot better, illustrate the char
acter of these determined and plucky
animals than by an adventure mar
rated to me not long since in the hunt
ing veldt by Boer hunter from the
Transvaal. He had been tracking
with some other compatriots far to
the northwest of Lake Ngami. Flesh
was badly wanted in camp, and as
tsetse fly was prevalent in the
marshy country, north of the Okanan-
go river, on which they were out
spanned, and the natives reported
large herds of buffaloes, he left his
horses behind him, ferrieI across the
river, and spent the next two days in
hunting. He had with him his own
Hottentot servant, a good and reliable
hunter, and a fair shot, and he had
as well several natives of the district
who were anxious for meat, and ready
to show him the game.
On the first day the Dutchman came
across some fifty buffaloes- grazing
in fairly open veldt. Getting behind
some good and convenient covert, and
with the wind in the right direc ton,
he had little difficulty in shooting two
fat cows and young, fresh bull. The
cows were pretty easily secured; but
the young bull, although shot through
the lungs, jumped on his legs from
some long grass and bush, then
walked up, charged fiercely at the
spooring party, and was only killed
within a few feet of the hunter. The

and was determined to finish off his
task. AS soon as the reeds were
reached, the blood spoor was easily
to be followed. The heavy bullet had
evidently raked the lungs, the bull
was bleeding freely and large patches
of crimson marked its path. The reeds
were very tall-twelve or fourteen
feet-and thick, and the spooring
seemed so dangerous an operation
that the Hottentot, who was carrying
a second gun-a Martini Henry-fell
behind, leaving his master to take the
first risk with his heavy eight-bore.
At every step-they were wading
knee deep in water-the hunters
stopped to listen. They had not pen
etrated fifty yards through the avenue
of broken reeds, afforded by the pass
age of the bull, when in an instant,
and without warning, the beast was
upon them. The Boer was knocked
fat upon his back by the charge; the
bull had miscalculated his distance,
had no doubt, charged for the sound,
and had struck his nemy with his

Galloping over the PROSTATE Boer, the
Buffalo went straight for the Hotten-
tot a few PAGES behind. This unfor-
tunate the brute struck with his horn
and tossed on one side some yards
into the reeds. Then, continuing its
career, the bull passed on out of the
"vlei" and took shelter in some thin
bush, where it was afterward found
dead. The Boer, all the wind knocked
out of him, and severely bruised,
picked himself up, retrieved his rifle,
which was flung yards away, and then
sought the Hottentot. The unfortunate
servant lay among the reeds and
water, terrible wound gaping just
below his chest, to the left-breathing

ntSoONSN " ois 6iu 0SSO DOIt SAOs
At last several fat COWS, for which
he had been waiting came, together
with a tremendous old bull, within
80 yards. Selecting the best COW, the
Boer aimed behind the point of the
shoulder, and brought her down. She
fell instantly to the shot, struggled a
little further, and soon lay dead. The
Boer had hoped and expected to bring
down another COW. His intentions
were frustrated, however, by the bull,
which charged upon the instant direct
ly towards the rife smoke. Within
ten yards, the Dutchman, who was
kneeling, fred again, hitting the grim
beast in front of the chest, and turn
ing it. Meanwhile, at the -ound of
the firing the whole immense herd
f1oundered out of the "vlei," and went
off crashing through an angle of the
reed beds, and thence far into the
bush. AS they fed the Boer showed
in another cartridge, took aim at a
retreating cow eighty yards of, and
by lucky shot, broke her back. She
fell believing, and was quickly dis
patched. Leaving the natives to skin
and cut up these carcasses, the
Dutchman now took up the pursuit Of
the wounded bull, which he had
marked in his flight through a dense
patch of reeds to the light of the la
COON. The beast had turned of alone,
and the greatest care had to be taken
in following it through such covert.
But the Dutchman had hitherto al
ways had great luck with buffalo,
