Catherine Donovan, aged about six
years, was drowned in the river, near
the mouth, on Saturday afternoon.
She was walking on log which pro-
jected over the water, when she lost
her footing and fell in. The force OF
the current carried her some distance
into the lake, and when her body wa,
recovered (twenty minutes attc) it
still contained considerable warmth.
All attempts to restore her, however,
proved fruitless.

THE SPECIAL SESSION.

Pursuant to n call Instituted by the
committee on improvements the coun-
ty board met in special session Mon
day afternoon to consider the court
house roof problem. All members
were present. The committee on inn
provements submitted the following
report
"Your committee has made a thor
ough inspection of said roof and finds
the same to be in such condition that
it would be only waste of money to
cause any repairs to be made on same.
We have consulted with good reliable
roofers and also with an architect as
to the proper manner of dealing with
this question and we have come to the
conclusion that if repairs should be
made, 10y replacing the slate, etc, we
would only have patched up job and
the leaking would continue as before.
Your committee has notified Rick
man q Sons Co., to appear and cause
repairs to be made but nothing has yet
been done.
We would recommend that if an ac
tion could be brought against said con-
tractor to recover any part Of the last
payment of $1,000 made to him or re-
cover for damages to our building
caused by said contractors neglect
to remedy defects in the roof and in
case a recovery could be had then in
that case the county board should pro-
ceed to either repair the roof or place
II new roof on in place of the old one
and do the work at our cOunty'S eX
pense. Your committee further re-
cOmmends that if such action can be
brought against said contractor then
the district attorney be instructed to
proceed at once.

ON motion of j. II. Watt the report
was received and placed on file. After
some discussion of the report, the
"leaky roof, Rickman's guaranty, and
other matters, the board by vote of
p to ! adopted the following resolu-
tion introduced 10y J. p. Watt;
"Resolyed, that the chairman of the
county board the clerk and district
attorney be appointed Il committee to
estimate the cost of damages to the
court house roof and to look up the
standing OF the Contractor Hickman
and to do all things necessary in the
repair of the roof and make some ar
rangement to compel Hickman to pay
for the damages to said roof"
The sense of this resolution is that
this committee shall 90 ahead and
have the roof repaired without delay,
and look up Rickman's standing and
report to the board at the fall session
whether it would be advisable or not
to bring suit for damages against
Hickman in case he fails to live up to
the terms of his guaranty.
SupervisorWillott offered resolution
recommending that the county clerk
be authorized to issue an order for
Sl.097S3 in favor of the Schuette Ce

ton was adopted

On the forty-siXth anniversary Of the
world famous Gettysburg address of
Abraham Lincoln the car which con-
veyed the martyred president to and
from Gettysburg was found five miles
from town being used as sleeping quar-
tiers by q railroad repair gang. The
car for many years was used between
Hanover and Hanover Junction, where
1t was affectionately designated as
"Old a." that being it's number. Re-
Gently it was found to be getting out
Of repair and was assigned to a repair
gang. BY singular coincidence that
particular gang was assigned to the
Gettysburg division Of the road, and
the car was found at Seven Stars by
persons who knew its history. There
Is talk Of trying to have the car sent
to Gettysburg and convert it into his
torical museum.

Microbes In Apples a New Scare.
Another terror for mothers has been
discovered by Professor Metchnikoff
of the Pasteur institute in Paris llith-
erto the humble apple has been con-
sidered one Of the most healthful OF
fruits, and lettuce and other green
salads were supposed to be especially
good for children. Now comes the
professor with his terrible warning
that he has found microbe making
its home in apples which is so deadly
that every year it kills 10000 children
in France The microbe Is said to be
that of gastro-enteritis, and, besides
fastening on apples, it attaches itself
to the surface of the fresh green's most
frequently used for salad. The pro-
fessor offers ray of hope, however.
He says his microbe has mortal an
tipathy to soap. and apple eaters still
may indulge with safety if they first
wash the fruit thoroughly In warm
sOapy water.

According to the announcement Of
the promoters of the midwinter avia-

Anita race track, near Los Angeles.
Cal. Jan. 10 to 20. it will be the first
international aviation meet ever held
in the United States. Some of the men
behind the meet are among the most
prominent on the Pacific slope. Among
them are Henry Huntington. son of
the late Coils L. Huntington. the rail
road magnate. who has given $4,000
to the prize fund; Franklin IL. Lane.
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, and Dick Ferris, who is well
known on broadway. New York, and
in aeronautical circles is familiar as
the owner Of the two spherical bal
looms, United States and America.
The park for the meeting of spher-
zeal balloons, many Of which are ex-
pected, is near the center of the city
for the convenience of obtaining cheap
gas.
For the aeroplane contests the Lucky
Baldwin ranch, an old race track at
Santa Anita, within reach of the city
by the street trolley service, has been
selected. The spot is an ideal one. 1t
is in the center of a great plain, thou
sands of acres in extent, is surrounded
with orange and lemon groves, which
in January are at their richest hues,
with the intermingled colors of the
fruit and foliage, and for background
it has the sharp and beautiful contrast
of the snow capped mountains, ten
miles away.
SO far as the difficulty of weather
goes, there is little likelihood Of inter-
ference. The records of thirty years
show that the highest wind at Los
Angeles has amounted to only G.1 miles
per hour.
In addition to Curtiss and Willard
and two, if not four, other Curtiss ma
chimes, several distinguished foreign
aviators are to be present with Bleriot
and Farman aeroplanes. Among those
who came from France are Cutler,
Mason, Miscarol and Paulhan. who is
accompanied by his wife.
The prize list amounts to $4,000
( and will be divided among aeroplanes,
