RHEUMATISM CANNOT BIZ
CURED UNLESS uRIC.O
IS USED
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused BY Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical
regarding the claims of almost any
remedy advertised as 4 cure for
Rheumatism and one can scarcely
blame him for being SO. All the plas-
tiers and liniments combined never &C
tually cured a case of rheumatism.
They may relieve it in one quarter but
1t Is sure to break out somewhere else.
The only true way to cure rheumatism
is to drive it from the system, for as
long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid
remains in the blood, one is never en-
tirely free from the trouble. Cric-O
seeks out the Rheumatic poison in the
blood, muscles and kidneys, renders it
inert and harmless and drives 1t out
of the system. 1t is composed of per-
feet antidotes for the rheumatic acid
poison in the system, and the secret
of it's wonderful success lies in the fact
that It is designed to cure rheumatism
only.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 15c

KATE 3. JONES
INSTITUTES SUIT

Mrs. Kate B. Jones, proprietor of a
dairy farm in Valley township. has in.
stituted suit against the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway company to re.
cover damages for fences and crops de-
stroyed by fire caused by sparks from
locomotives on the above named rail-
road, which intersects Mrs. Jones'
farm. The case was instituted Mon
day by Hon. r, S. zimmerman.
The courts of this State, it would
seem, are disposed to hold the rail
ways responsible for fires started by
locomotives.
Two damage suits against the Della
ware, Lackawanns, & Western Rail-
road were tried together at Sunbury
last week and we're won by the plain
tiffs
Rosanna Reed recovered S270 for
damages done timber land set on fire
by sparks from an engine in Point
township. Northumberland county.
Hiram Klase, with a similar case, was
awarded $220 Both cases relate to
damage done between Danville and

Jurors NOTIFIED
NOT TO APPEAR

Maroh court, which was to have con-
vened next Monday, has been declared
of. Judge Evans came down to Dam
willie yesterday and after examining
into conditions made an order to the
above effect.
January court, 1t will be recalled
was declared off In the same manner.
This action was not unprecedented, as
it had occurred on two previous oc-
casions that the jurors had been notifi-
ed not to appear. The present, how
ever, is the first instance in the his
tory of Montour county that court
twice in succession has been declared
off.
The last regular session of court was
held last September. The next session
will occur in the first week of June.
With January and March court omit
ted the period during which there has
been no regular session of court is
nine months.
The above described conditions are
no sign that the millennium is ap-
preaching. A nearly full Jail reminds
us that the law is still violated in
Montour county. The cause of the
changed conditions relating to court
lies rather in the practice of pleading
guilty between terms now generally
followed by persons indicted.
The order made by Judge Evans is
as follows:
And now, March 3, 1909, it appear
ing to the court that there will be no
bills of indictment or other matters to
be laid before the grand jury or causes
to be tried in the quarter sessions or
common pleas at the next term of
court to be held the week beginning
March Sth, 1909. it is therefore ord
cred aud directed that the sheriff of
Montour county notify the grand jur-
ors and the petit and traverse Jurors
summoned to appear March s. 1909,
that their attendance will not be re.
guired at said term of court begin
ming March s, 1909.

BURGLARS HAUL
AT CATAWISSA

The burglars who for some time have
been working along the West Branch.
notably at the Mifflinburg post office
and at the Grower store in Lewis
burg, have struck the North Branch,
two places, one at Mainville and the
other at Catawissa, having been rob
bed Monday night. At Kester's mill
at Mainville, little or nothing was Sc
cured, but at Catawissa they made
rich haul where goods to the value of
about $500 were taken from the store
of Alfouso Baker. An entrance into
the store had been effected by break
ing the window pane. The goods tax
Ell consisted of large quantity of
cigars, expensive candy. meerschaum
pipes and other notions.
By raising a window in the grist
mill of J. b. Kester at Mainville some
time during Monday night burglars
effected an entrance into the building,
but secured nothing for their trouble.
Going to the mill Tuesday morning,
Ray Miller, an employe at the mill,
discovered the back door of the mill
open, aud upon going to the barn he
discovered several sacks of -four on
the ground. IL is thought that they
were after -four and had been fright
ened as one of the sacks had evidently
been thrown upon pile of wood, and
was burst.

|MR. ROCKWELL
| RESUMES WORK

George W. Rockwell of Sunbury.
who has the contract for filling up the
canal at the hospital for the insane.
after long suspension, yesterday re-
sumd work on the proposition.
When Obliged to shut down by.cold
weather. Mr.. Rockwell had completed
the actual work of filling up the old
waterway. which constituted pro-
digious job in itself. Before abandon
ing the work he removed the big
dredging machine back to the hospital
ground, where it will be used in re-
placing the fertile soil scooped ont of
the bed of the canal before filling up
began and which, like long winrow
of earth, lies along side the canal the
entire length of the hospital ground.
The first work tackled yesterday
morning was the removal from the
canal of the narrow guage railroad
used by the dingey and cars in haul
ing cinder. In day or so the dredg-
ing machine will be under steam again
anu tAO it1Sb bbhBO VI bhC 1OhB anu hOh-
ious job will soon be completed.
HORSE IMPERILLED.
Henry Jones of this city yesterday
came within an ace of losing valu-
able horse while employed by Mr..
Rockwell at the hospital. 1t appears
that the canal, although filled up, serves
as drain for the great basin lying
between the railroad and the river.
The fine cinder mixed with water, is
as treacherous as a.bed of quioksand.
Mr.. Jones, whoYwas the only man
near the spot, was engaged in dragging
the rails from the bed of the filled up
canal. He was working just above the
culvert which leads TO the main en-
trance of the hospital ground, where
before filling up. the old waterway was
dredged out to the depth of over ten
feet.
Without suspeoting dangerIhe led
the horse-a heavy blaok-out over the
canal, when all of sndden the amin
al sank in up to his sides and every
moment seemed sinking deeper. In an
instant Mr.. Jones realized that he was
about to lose a valuable horse, but he
was almost powerless to render assist
auce. The sagacious animal, however,
by struggling desperately managed to
keep his head and the upper part of
his body above the deep mass Of loose
and moving cinder. Probably horse
never struggled harder, yet several
times it seemed that he would sink to
the bottom. Mr.. Jones, who himself
had difficulty to keep from sinking,
held on TO the horse's bride and thus
leading and encouraging him succeed
ed in getting him near the canal bank
where in his struggles the animal sue
ceeded in striking solid ground with
his feet. Netrly exhausted finally he
dragged himself from the canal.

MARCAVITCH
CLOSELY WATCHED

Sheriff Tsby has not as yet received
the warrant from Governor Stuart for
the execution of Stany Marcavitch.,
However the authorities at the North
cumberland county prison are taking
extraordinary precautions in their
care OF the prisoner.
Turnkey Deveraux who has charge
of the prisoner, has made a thorough
search of his cell for any implements
by which the prisoner could effect his
escape or self destruction. He has al
so screened the windows in such a
way that nothing could be passed in
to the prisoner from the outside.
On account of these precautions
Stany has begun to suspect that his
end is near but knows nothing.
When he is notified by the sheriff,
he will be guarded closely and care
fully both night and day.
