Boy Found With Bullet in Brain.

More excitement than has happen
ed in the West End of Monroe county
for some time, was occasioned by the
disappearance of Forrest, the 49,
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Dietz, who reside about a mile north
OF Gilbert, on Saturday, and the
finding of the dead body of the lad in
piece of wood, not far from the
family home, on Sunday afternoon
between 1870 and 9 O'Clock, with a
bullet would in the middle of the
forehead and a little below the hair
The revolver from which the fatal
shot had been fired was found along
side the body. 1t was the property
OF his father. While the Coroner S
jury could not determine whether it
was a case of suicide, still it is the
opinion of the people of the country
side that it was, although they are at
a loss to explain why one so young
should nave committed such a rash

shall connect their exchanges with
the other telephone exchanges in the

This bill, if enacted into law, means
that hereafter it will make no diff

telephone from, you can talk to any
one else who has a telephone, no
matter who he rents from, provided
you pay for it. Ay, there's the rub.

sified as noncoal land and thus re-
stored to public entry and 24O acres
were appraised as coal land. With
drawals of coal land were also made
in Utah to the extent of $1,000
acres. There remains withdrawn,

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS.
BY Karl de SChweinitz, Executive
Secretary, Pennsylvania Society
for the Prevention of Tuber-
CulOSiS.

In your town there are dozens of
pale anaemic, "underweight" chill
dren, whose glands are swollen and
who perhaps have persistent colds.
The parents of some of these chill
dren have consumption. Most of
them are living in unsanitary, poor
ly ventilated homes. Without special
care these children are likely to be-
come Consumptives.
The open air school is one of the
best ways of preventing this.
Schools of this type are conducted in
Philadelphia, New York and all of
the larger cities. They are held on a
roof in school room one or more
of these side walls have been knock
ed out, or in some other place in the
open air. The children study and
play out of doors, winter and sum-
mer, being warmly dressed for this
purpose in special clothing.
Open Air School Children gain
rapidly in weight. In a very few
months they are as strong as other
children. What is more they i'm
prove in their studies.
To cure a consumptive costs at
least $40 week and it takes months
and years to effect a cure. The tax
payer foots the bill. Why not re-
duce this bill by preventing consump-
tion before it starts. The Open Air
School does this. Every town should
have at least one.

Is ID. & II. Building New Road?

Allentown-Civil engineers are at
work between Tamaqua and Daniels
vile, running a line for another rail-
road. Through West Penn town
ship, Carbon county, their lines al
most parallel the new road now un-
der construction by the Lehigh and
New England railroad. The lines so
far run are along the Lehigh and
New England, except that in places
where they are higher up in the
mountain.
The engineers refuse to discuss the
matter. but admit that they are run
ming a line for another road. 1t is
stated that the engineers are at work
for the Delaware and Hudson roal-
road, which, during the past few
years, has acquired considerable coal
land in the Schuylkill region, in
proximity to Paterson, and also in
the western end of the county. The
Delaware and Hudson company will
thus secure an outlet for this traffic
Independent of the Reading, Jersey

tion company.

WHITE DEFENDS DEMANDS.
Head of United Miners at Indianapolis
For Conference,

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 29.-John p.
White, president of the United Mine
Workers, representing both the an
thracite and bituminous miners, who is
head of the conference committee Of
the anthracite mine workers which is
to meet the operators in New York
city on March 13 in connection with
the wage demands, is in Indianapolis.
President White will arrange at once
for conferences Of the bituminous min
ers and bituminous operators. He is
noncommittal as to the chances of a
strike.
"We are not looking for a strike" he
said, but will insist on our demands
notwithstanding anything that has
been said or may be said to the con-
trary. The miners are better organ
lied than they ever were before"
He defended the demand that the
anthracite operators withhold the dues
to the union from the pay envelopes
OF members, which would virtually
make the operators collectors for the
union, and said:
This plan is generally In use In
most OF the bituminous districts, and
on account of the large areas over
which the mine workers are spread
such a system is a good one."
