Mrs. Mary A. Carripuer sufrered a

her left shoulder In a fall at her home or
Vine street, last Thursday. Shortly be
fore the noon hour she was engaged in
sweeping the snow from the side steps
when she slipped and fell headlong from
the steps, alighting on her shoulder. DR.
Bovard was called to attend her. The
injury was so painful that he was obliged
TO administer chloroform to the patient
before he could replace the dislocation
Mrs. Carringer is recovering nicely and
will soon be able to be out as usual.
The belief appears to prevail that the
state will not begin to carry out the plan
of new highways outlined In the Sproul
bill until the proposed amendmant per.
mitting a bond issue for $50, 900, 900 is
made. That is not the case. Section &c
of the bill provides that the Legislatures
of 1911 and 1918 shall appropriate sums
sufficient to carry on the work until the
$50, 100000 is available. Existing con-
tracts will be carried independently oi
the Sproul bill, and the presumption is
that the highway department will con-
tinue the work of road improvement
throughout the commonwealth under ex-
listing laws until the new Sproul law be-
comes effective.
The good roads train, operated jointly
by the Pennsylvania railroad, and the
Pennsylvania state college and the United
States office of public roads, has com
pleted its two months schedule. Stats.
tics kept by the lecturers who were with
the train show the great public interest
that was manifested in it, and from these
too, is deducted an appreciation of the
great good done by the train. During the
tour the gospel of good roads was spread
to 52,842 persons. Many of these were
interested in the construction of better
highways in the Keystone state. The trip
consumed sixty days and the average was
four lectures day. The biggest crowd
of the trip was at New Bethlehem, where
900 people visited the special.
Hon. ]. A. Schofield argued in favor
of the $4,000, 900 Sproul Good Roads Bill
recently and in addition to the road from
Warren to Kane, via Sheffield the follow
ing we're added to the bill: Road from
Rogers Mill leading to Bradford via
Kinzua and Cornplanter; new road down
Tionesta creek into Forest county, from
Sheffield to connect with the state road
running from Marienville to Tionesta.
There has been no change made in the
road leading to Kane from Warren via
Sheffield. Times. No good
roads project would be complete that did
not include highway along the Tionesta
creek, at once the most beautiful and
picturesque valley on the continent, a
forty-mile driveway which could easily
be made veritsble poem in sublimity
and grandeur.
Speaking Of the Amsnn murder mys-
terry, the Warren Times of last evening
gives this much as the result of an inter-
view with Thomas G. Cochran, a Mercer
attorney who has been retained in the
case: when questioned as to whether
they were not waiting for missing wit
ness, Mr.. Cochran replied that they were
following up several lines of evidence
and that II was his belief that an arrest
could be made within the next two or
three weeks, but he did not know def
initely. He further stated that in some
murder cases where the evidence was ap-
parent, an arrest could be made at once,
but in the Amann case he could not state
the length of time it would take. When
asked as to whether the suspected man
could get away, he replied that the sus-
pect was just as safe as if he were behind
the bars. He further stated that the case
was progressing nicely and that in his
opinion everything was being done that
possibly could be to bring the murderer
to justice"
An item on the weather is never out
of season, so here's what Bro. Foster says
will happen next: Next disturbance
will reach Pacific coast about April s,
cross Pacific slope by close of 9, great
central valleys 10 to II, eastern section l3.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope about
April s, great central valley 10, eastern
section II. Cool wave will cross Pacific
slope about April IL, great central valleys
l3, eastern sections 10. This will be one
OF the most important disturbances of the
season because it will inaugurate splen-
did period of crop weather. Excessive
rains will, to large ex tent, cease and
warm, growing weather that will make
the farmers pulse beat with regularity,
will come in and hold good for most of
the month. The cool wave preceding this
storm will go near the frost line in
northern sections, following which high
temperature wave will cross continent.
AS that warm wave nears eastern sections
the storm forces will increase and weather
features become more marked. The cool
wave following will be moderate"
