for gold and the inhabitants given new
homes which are to be erected on

The destruction Of San Antonio for
its golden cellars is akin to the de-
struction Of Cienega, in the Altar gold
placer fields, where the city of 10000
inhabitants in the early days Of ex-
element there, away back in 1900, has
been torn down for the purpose OF ex-
tracing the gold from the adobe walls
of the houses and even the old church,
by the dry washing process.
Some day, through American inge-
nuity and American capital, the gold
in the cellars and walls of the houses
Of San Antonio will be shining coins
in the strong valuts of Wall street and
ready again for investment in the
rapid development Of the sister repub-
lic.-Douglas Dispatch.

IMPROVEMENTS
ARE UNDERWAY

No less than four establishments ON
Mill street are undergoing repairs and
renovation at the present time, which
is unusual at this time of the year, aft
er the business changes have taken
place, and demonstrates that there is
spirit of enterprise among our prop
erty owners.
Very extensive improvements are on
foot in the Krebs building recently
vacated by Harry Ellenbogen and
which will be occupied by Harry
Wenck. Many changes have been made
to conform with the requirements of
an up-to-date pool and billiard room.
Counters, shelving and all the fixtures
have been removed. The large room
will be occupied by four billiard
tables, being set up by M. H. Schram.
The wood work of the room is being
repainted and the walls papered with
a thirteen inch satin finished velvet
paper, Frank Started being the dec
orator employed. When finished Mr..
Wenck's pool and billiard room will be
one of the finest in this section.
The building vacated by Fred Howe
and being remodeled by d. r. Eckman
will be completed by the first of May,
when it will be occupied by Harry
Ellenbogen, the tailor When all the
changes are made the building will
not be recognizable. In addition to a
brick annex, twenty-five by twenty
four feet, in the rear the room will
have modern glass front and will be
finished throughout in the best style.
The work is progressing finely. The
frame work of the new front is erect
ed. The brick layers are practically
through and the plasterers have al.
ready applied one coat.
S. w. Arms is painting the front of
Mrs. Geisinger's building next to the
canal, embracing the jewelry and
millinery stores of B. NJ. Davis. The
color selected is dark green.
Lunger's five and ten cent store, Mill
street, is also receiving a coat of paint,
which imparts to it quite stylish ap-
peaIance. The color selected is red

FOREST FIRE ON
MONTOUR RIDGE

Another forest fire, which threaten
ed to cause considerable damage broke
out on Montour Ridge near Harvey
Lamberson's soon after the Q 07 d. L.
d w. passenger train, west, passed that
spot Tuesday morning. The fire was
suppressed in the nick of time, just as
it was reaching valuable timber, by
George Belford, fire warden, who rep
reseuts territory ON the south side of
the river.
Mr. Belford assisted in extinguish-
ing the fire at nearly the same spot
last Saturday night a week ago during
the absence of a warden representing
Mahoning township. Considering it
probable that his services would be
needed again he crossed the river and
hurried to the scene of the fire. The
fire was rapidly spreading out over the
mountain side and there was no sign
of fire warden, beside himself, being
present.
The act of May -, 1909, provides
that fire wardens shall not be limit
ed i'll their jurisdiction as such to the
boroughs, townships or counties, for
or within which they may be appoint
ed but shall have power and author
ity to enter adjacent or other bor-
oughs, townships or counties, and
there exercise the authority and per-
form the duties conferred upon them
by the act. In such cases it is provid-
ed that the local warden if present
shall be in command.
Another provision of the act that all
would do well to bear in mind is that
when the fire warden is in need of
help in suppressing fire and calls up
on anyone to render assistance poor
excuses will not go. If any persons re-
fuses to help without Just and legal
excuse, one that is satisfactory to the
fire warden, he is declared to be guilty
of misdemeanor and upon conviction
thereof may be sentenced to pay a fine
not exceeding fifty dollars, or i'm
prisonment not exceeding one month.
Mr.. Belford met with some difficulty
in obtaining help Tuesday and the
public may as well understand what
it means when a fire warden calls up
on them for assistance. Mr.. Belford
had only three men assisting him Tues
day and they were obliged to fight
the fire four hours before it was got
ten under control.

MAD DOG AMUCK
IN MONTOUR

A wild excitement was spread among
the farmers in the northern end of the
county yesterday afternoon when the
word was sent out over the rural tele-
phone from Jerseytown that "a mad dog
had left there after biting several 9TH
er CANNES.
Nearly all afternoon the telephone
operators at the exchanges at Straw
berry Ridge, Exchange, Jerseytown
and Miilville were on the jump. Many
people saw the animal as it made its
way from Jerseytown north west to
within half a mile of White Hall and
thence to Ottawa. AS each person
sighted the dog the telephone was used
to report the event ahead.
The dog was first seen yesterday
shortly before noon at the farm of Roy
Werkheiser, about a mile and half
from Jerseytown, where Mr.. Werk-
heiser's dog was bitten. From there
the dog came into Jerseytown and bit
the dogs of o. p. Shultz, J. J. Kram-
er and John Pegg, making off then to-
ward White Hall.
Between Jerseytown and Ottawa sew
eral people tried to get shot at the
animal but failed. At White Hall ID.
r. Rishel's valuable bird dog was at
tackled and then the rabid animal laid
down in shed whtre Mr. Rishel lat
er put an end to him. When Mr.. Rishel
found the dog he was frothing at the
mouth.
All the dogs bitten have been killed
or are penned up and being closely
watched. 1t is the intention to send
the dogs head to ithe proper author
titles to ascertain if it really was vic
tim of hydrophobia.

THE COVETED PLANT.
Just a Bit of Human Nature In a
Florists Shop.


Two little girls entered a florists
shop. So near each other in size were
they that they would have been taken
for twins. They had 20 cents-10 cents
apiece-and with this sum saved from
pennies for some time back they were
going to buy plant for mamma. One
stepped out "A little in advance of the
other when the door closed behind
them. The other was shy, looking
timidly, but confidently, at her sister.
The woman in charge of the small
shop looked up as the two mites Of
humanity paused in front of her
"Well?" she said encouragingly.
I'VE want to buy a plant" said the
little spokeswoman. Then she added
in order to avoid later embarrassment,
The cheapest one you've got"
"Ah," said the florist, going to the
window, here is nice little plant
for % cents"
The little sister turned quickly to
the other. but still smiling bravely.
Baby, we've just missed it a nick
ell" she said.
Yet not three minutes later they is
sued from the shop bearing the plant
between them, and as the woman de-
posted the two silver dimes in the
cash drawer her eyes must hav'
caught their CLEAN, for there was
something shining there.-New York

HIS TAPESTRIES.
The Gems the Collector Bought and
Showed to the Expert.


Showed to the Expert.
That the collector falls into a trap
occasionally is shown by an episode
which we recall. An enthusiastic pur-
chaser of old tapestries was once Of
fered in Paris masterpiece executed
on large scale and held at large
figure Consulting an expert, he was
urged to buy, but the sum demanded
seemed to him at the moment a good
deal to invest in a tapestry, and he
let the opportunity pass.
A year or so later he met his friend,
the expert aforesaid, and asked him to
come to his house to look at two tapes
tries he had just secured. "They are
smaller" he said, than the one you
advised me to buy and which, to tell
the truth, have always regretted, and
| paid twice as much for them as |
was asked to pay for that glorious
piece, but while it seemed q fearful
lot of money to spend l simply couldn't
resist the chance"
The specialist in tapestries walked
into the gallery of the proud collector
and gazed upon his prizes. He gazed
for a time in silence and then had to
be very guarded in his speech Of con-
graduation. He was looking at the
original tapestry, which his friend
could have had for half the money,
now neatly cut in two and supplied
with borders. He never revealed to
the victim of this ingenious little game
what precisely had happened.-New
