NEW RULE AND
REGULATION

The outbreak of infantile paralysis
and the general prevalence of pellagra
and duodenalis (hook worm) in Penn
sylvania has led to the adoption of a
new rule and regulation by the State
department of health, which requires
that these diseases in the future be re-
ported by physicians to the health
authorities the same as is done in the
case of small pox, diphtheria, scar
let fever, &c. 1t has been discovered
that hook worm and pellagra, the lat
ter being an affection of the skin with
severe constitutional and nervous
symptoms, are by no means rare dis
eases in Pennsylvania but that on the
c)ntrary, the cases of hook worm,
especially, have become strikingly
numerous
So far as known the outbreak of in
tantile paralysis has not yet reached
this county. 1t is probably merely for
statistics that these additional cases
are to be reported.

al inspector, Friday received the
following communication from Dr..
Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner
of health:

SURVIVORS OF
l32ND REGIMENT

The annual reunion of the survivors
of the One Hundred and Thirty Second
Regiment, Pennsylvnia Volunteers,
will be held in Danville on Saturday,
September 18th.
Unusual interest attaches to the re-
union of this regiment, as Company A
was composed of Danville boys, many
of whom still survive. The history of
the regiment, which participated in
some of bloodiest battles of the war, is
familiar to most of our citizens
The makeup of the regiment was as
follows: Company A., of Danville;
Company B, of Factoryville; Com
pany @, Wellsboro; Company D, Brad
ford; Company E, Bloomsbury; + and
G., of Mauch Chunk; Company H,
Catawissa; and K, of Scranton.
Survivors of every company are ex-
pected to be present at the reunion.
Colonel Hitchcock of Scranton, the
only surviving field officer, will attend
and will deliver an address.
Among the survivors of Company A,
the most of whom are still living at
Danville are: Hon. James Foster,
Thomas Jones, Associate Judge Frank
G.. Blee, o. b. Switzer, Thomas James,
Samuel Mottern, William Sunday,
Conrad S. Aten, Levi Miller, Edward
Roderick, Samuel Gulick, Wellington
Klase, S. X. Waite Amos Appleman
and Henry Vincent.
The late Captain George G. Lovett,
of this city was a member of Company
A, 80 Regiment.
The 132nd Regiment participated in
some of the greatest battles of the
war, among them being Antietam,
Fredericksburg and Charlottesville.
1t was also under fire at South Noun
tain.

POWER HOUSE BURNED

The large power house of the United
Light and Power company, which fur
nishes power for the Lewisburg, Wat
sontown and Milton Trolley company
and street and residence lights for
Milton, was destroyed by fire Tues
day morning. The town is without
light or trolley service.
The fire broke out about O'Clock
and while the origin of the blaze is
not definitely known it is believed to
have been caused by short circuit on
the big generator. An hour after the
blaze started the building was in ruins.
The loss is estimated at about $50, 600,
partly covered by insurance. All of
the generating machinery was destroy
ed.
The company some time ago began
the erection of new and larger plant,
which will be completed in about a
month. In the meantime all auxiliary
planted will be equipped and it is ex-
pected that by Friday night service
can be resumed. Arrangements are now
being made to get the necessary equip
mnet for the temporary plant. 1t is
likely that the machinery will be Sc
cured in Williamsport from the Ly-
coming Electric company, which re-

BUMPER CROPS
IN PENNSYLVANIA

H. V. White, of Bloomsbury, presi-
dent of the State Millers' association,
secretary of State College and man
closely in touch with the agricultural
situation, after a tour of the State
makes the statement, founded upon
intimate knowledge, that the crops of
PENNSYLVANIA this year are among the
largest if not the largest, ever harvest
ed
The oats crop is unquestionably, he
says, the largest ever grown, although
the storm of last Monday did consider
able damage in this immediate Sec
tion. The crop had been harvested in
the southern part of the State and that
escaped the storm, of which little was
thought in this section, but which
caused the heavily laden stalks to
break off and when the crops were
harvested this week considerable
quantity of the oats fell out in harv-
esting.
The early potato crop was good and
the information Mr.. White has receiv-
ed from all parts of the State is that
the late potato crop never looked so
we'll From the Wayne county section,
down through York and Lancaster
counties and out through the western
part of the State, the same word comes
and Mr.. White expresses the opinion
that wonderfully large crop of pota-
toes will be harvested.
More than 20 per cent. greater than
in any year during the last ten years
will be the average yield of wheat per
acre and, generallyfspeaking.the crops
could not be better The Hessian fly
has done some damage in few sec
tions, but this condition is not gener-
al. Then, too, the rye crop is the larg-
est and best Pennsylvania has ever
had.

BASS
EVER CAUGHT

Gearhart Oberdorf, who last Friday
caught bass while fishing from the
river bridge that weighed 21a pounds
and measured 1515 inches in length,
seems to have acquired the habit of
catching big fish. Monday morning
from his customary perch on the bridge
he hooked what was Enthusiastically the
biggest bass ever taken from the river
at this place. 1t tipped the scales at A
pounds and 8 ounces and measured
twenty inches in length.
Mr.. OberdoIf in order that there
might be no doubt as to the full ex-
down town. 1t was still alive when
exhibited to the wondering crowds
that soon gathered around him. Few
people could believe that bass were TO
be found in the river that had attain
ed such large size. The bass was in
a thriving condition and was a beauty,
in dimensions resembling a shad.
Bass are fairly plentiful in the river
this season, while more than the usual
proportion seems to have attained
large size. AS the river falls toward
bridge may be seen disporting them
selves in the water below. Fishing
from the bridge has become quite pop
ular, although comparatively few
persons have succeeded in hooking
anything worth while from that elev-
ated position.
Mr.. Oberdorf seems to be the only
one who knows the trick When asked
yesterday what secret art he employed
he replied, "There is no secret about
it, only patience.
The thriving condition of the bass
would seem to disprove the theory that
the presence of coal dirt in the stream
tends to kill off the fish. The white
club is recognized as the most delic.
ate fish extant yet this fish, along with
bass, has flourished and is more plenti-
full at present than at any time in the
past.
AS local fishermen view it, if there
is anything that initiates against the
we'll being of fish in the North Branch
it is the general absence of river grass,
which at one time abounded but which
seems to have been destroyed by the
great ice gorges that swept the river
bottom some years ago. 1t is we'll.

grass, when it can be found, and it.is

er stocked up, will lay the matter be.

SAFE CRACKED IN
CATAW|SSA DEPOT

Bold yeggmen entered the Pennsyl-
vania station, at Catawissa, early Sat-
uIday morning and blew open the safe
with nitro -glycerine. For their trou-
BILE they got $21. Al in cash. The safe
door was shattered and the inside door
was blown across the office and against
the partition between the office and
the waiting room. There is no clue,
although search has been made.
Residents of the borough, after the
explosion heard men hurrying across
the Susquehanna river bridge, which
entrance is nearby.
That it was the work of profession
ais there seems to be but little or no
doubt. The men let all of the tickets
alone, and took only the money draw
ers and special delivery letter. This
contained Pennsylvania Railroad
Relief fund check, and is easily negoti-
able. There were hundreds of dollars
worth of tickets and some money ord
Ell blanks for sending telegraph money
orders, but these were untouched.
On the floor was piece of common
yellow rosin soap, and a silver tea
spoon. This indicated very plainly
what the men worked with. They first
wrenched off the safe knob, and pour
ed the deadly nitro-glycerine in the
aperture, closing it with SOAP and us
ing the spoon to pour in the last few
drops, in order that their work would
be sure.
Prior to the explosion residents of
Catawissa saw two men ON the tracks
under the light at the Main street
crossing and one of them whistled by
placing his fingers in his mouth, and
blowing shrill note. Then the explo-
sion occurred. According to that it is
believed THAT there were at least three
men in ON the job. One stayed to light
the fuse, after the others went out to
see if there were any others around.
Then the whistle, which was prear.
ranged signal to light the fuse.
A short while after the explosion all
of the residents in the neighborhood
were aroused and made an especial
effort to locate it. They heard hurry.

was still after that.

STARTS
ON new SERIES

At a meeting of the managers of the
Susquehanna league, held yesterday
afternoon in the Elks' rooms at Ber-
wick, it was decided to close the pre-
sent series of games, since Danville's
unsurmountable lead has caused inter
est in the game to lag, and to open
this week new series of fifteen games
to last until September 10th.
Danville was declared the winner of
the first series of games, and in case
another team wins the second series,
that team and Danville will play a
series of games after September 10th
for the championship of the league
and the 1910 pennant. In case Dan
vile wins the second series, the pen
nant will, of course, go to this town
without a deciding series.
The meeting yesterday was marked
by heated discussions, which arose
mostly on subjects relating to the new
schedule of games. The motion to
play the new series which, by the
way was made by Manager Hoffman
of Danville, was the only business
transacted, but it required nearly two
hours of heated argument before the
measure was finally brought to vote
The Danville and Berwick manage
ments wanted to play 20 game series
to last until September nth To this
| nEfaraH ctr I,x-
Colley, of Shickshinny and Sharpless,
of Bloomsturg. Manager Colley would
not stand for more than 10 games and
Manager Sharpless stated that Blooms
burg would positively not play longer
than September 10th.
President McCollum appointed Haas,
of Nanticoke; Sharpless, of Blooms
burg and himself as committee to
arrange schedule for the new series.
! This committee will meet some time
this week and frame a series of games
which will be presented to the manag-
ers at meeting which will be called
by President McOollum.
! This committee will have an ardu-
GUS task to suit all concerned, ,as it de-
veloped that some of the managers are
accusing Others of trying to preempt
all the desirable dates. This phase
reached a climax when J. N. Harry,
of Berwick and Tom Moore, of Blooms
burg, got into heated wrangle over
dates. The committee will also have
to keep Berwick and Nescopeck from
conflicting and take into consideration
many other at issue.
The meeting adopted the following
schedule for this week:
FRIDAY, AUG. 5.
Danville at Bloomsbury.
Nanticoke at Shickshiuny.
Nescopeck at Berwick.
SATURDAY, AUG. 6

FARMERS URGED
TO SEEK STATE AID

G. f. Marsh. agricultural represent
ative of the Northern Central Rail-
road, says that he does not think that
the farmers of Pennsylvania are fami-
liar with the system of supervision
model orchards. which has been in.
augurated by Prof H. A. Surface, of
the Agricultural Department at Har-
risburg, for if they were his office
would be overwhelmed with applica-
tions. This is by far the most import
ant work ever undertaken by this or
probably any other state.
While he will conduct demonstra-
tions of spraying and the proper care
of orchards as in the past, the super
vision part is something original. By
this plan any farmer may write to his
office and make application to have
his orchard placed ON the list of sup
ervision orchards. There is no charge
for this service All that is necessary
Is for the farmer to agree to follow in
structions, when the department will
situation over. He will do such work
as is necessary to start the owner in
the proper methods of pruning and
spraying. He will also leave a written
outline for the management of the or
chard throughout the year, including
the following cultivation, pruning,
spraying and other features of orchard
management with special reference to
insects and fungus control. The expert
will visit the orchard a number of
times during the season to inspect the
work and give such advise as may be
! needed.
The object of this work is to demon.
strate in practical manner how tC
obtain the best possible returns at the
least necessary expense, and the de.
partment will promise within two
years and, doubtless within one, tc
show how to produce an abundant
crop of good and fairly perfect fruit,
fairly free from blemishes and insect
pests and plan disease and ready fol
sale at the highest market price; which
will keep longer and be much more
valuable to both the producer and con
sumer than the average fruits of the
same kind.
One of the State orchard Inspector
visited 1000 orchards last season anC
states that he could count on the fing
ers of one hand those that were spray
ed and cultivated. while it is wei
known fact that practically all the ap
pies grown in this section are sold il
bulk simply for lack of care in cultiva
tion and handling.
Many of these orchards contain from
30 to 200 trees, which at the low valu
alton of s5:net profit per tree, woult
give All income from $3.50 to 81 900 pc
year, frequently more than the who'll

TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice VIII Help Many
Sufferer in Danville.

No woman can be healthy and well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off in the secretions when the
kidneys are we'll, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
news and bladder become inflamed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric poisoning
also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheumatic
pain.
When suffering so, try Doan Kid
ney Pills, remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will Ie-
turn when the kidneys are well. Let a
