Disease of Honey Bees.

The United States Department of
Agriculture calls attention to the
fact that American foul brood and
European foul brood has been found
to exist in Wayne county. The De-
partment has no means of knowing
how long the disease has existed in
the region, but desires to notify bee
keepers of the trouble and to sug-
gest that, if not already informed
concerning the disease, they inform
themselves at once. Very frequent
ly colonies of bees are destroyed by
disease and the loss is attributed by
the bee keeper to some other cause.
Farmers Bulletin No. 442, The
Treatment of Bee Diseases, gives a
description of the brood diseases and
methods of treatment. 1t will be
sent free on request to the Secretary
of Agriculture, Washington, d. C.
Attention is also called to the
fact that the brood diseases do not
at all injure honey for human con-
sumption, so that there need be no
fear on the part of purchasers of
honey.

The intensely cold weather this
winter, which has frozen many of the
small streams to the bottom, may in
terfere with the distribution of young
fish from the State hatCheries at the
usual time and at present it looks as
though few fish would be sent out
before the end of March or early in
April. In many parts of the State
stream conditions are regarded as
uncertain because of the deep SHOWS
on the mountains and the prospects
of trouble when the ice breaks.
Fish Commissioner N. X. Butler
says that he expects to send out the
trout known as stock fish, or breed
ing fish, first, and then to follow
them up with fingerlings. Trout fry
will only be sent out to clubs or per-
sons who have ponds in which they
can care for the trout.
There is an abundance of trout at
the hatcheries, according to the COM
missioner.

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANT.
Case of Long Standing Tried Before
Judge a. r. SearIe Last Week.

The case of Mrs. Maria Bush VS..
DR.. J. A. Singer, of East Stroudsburg,
tried recently before Judge A. T,
Searle closed last week when the
jury, after being out nearly four
days, rendered a verdict for the de-
fendant
The Monroe Record says:
There has not been a suit tried
in the county for a long time that
claimed the undivided attention of
the people as did this one and the
consequence was that every session
was we'll attended. And at that
there was much in the nature of the
testimony that was anything but
entertaining, for example the long
Hypothetical questions which had
been prepared by the counsel in the
case and which were pronounced SC
often to the doctors called as wit
nesses on both sides.
Judge Searle visited the Record
office for a few minutes during a
noon recess and took occasion tC
commend the members of the Monroe
County Bar and the manner in which
those who are interested in the case
at issue were conducting the same
He was impressed with the strength
of the counsel.
THE judge has made many friends
since coming here to try the present
case. 1t was a decided pleasure tC
meet and talk to the Wayne county
jurist."

Killed Governor Goebel.

Little Rock.-James Gilbert, OF
Breathitt county, Kentucky, was ia
tally wounded in a revolver fight
with a bartender in Helena Friday.
Before he died he declared that he
was the man who fired the shot that
killed Governor Goebel at Frankfort,
in January, 1900.
Gilbert had been in Helena about
three years. He was some time ago
charged with killing a man here, but
was released on the plea of self-de-
fense. Recently Gilbert was made a
deputy sheriff and according to the
authorities here was without sense of
physical fear. For about two weeks
he had been living an irregular life,
the events of which had their cul-
mInaJion in the shooting affray of
Friday

WHY Not?

Almost every day we see appeals
TO farmers, printed in our exchanges
to feed the quail, and other game
birds, that are having a hard time
to get through the winter. In hun
dreds of cases the farmers are scat
tering feed where the wild birds will
get it, and are doing all in their pow
er to conserve fast disappearing
species. Next fall about 100, 900 men
and boys will sally out from the
towns to shoot the birds the farmers
have fed through the winter, and will
call the farmer an " old crouch "
when he objects to their running over
his land and shooting his birds. Why
should not the gun clubs, hunting
clubs, and such organizations, buy
grain and give to the farmers to feed
the birds they will want to shoot lat
er on?

AUTO LICENSE MONEY
TO BE USED ON ROADS.

Money paid to the state for regis
tration of automobiles and the Ii
censing of chauffeurs may be used for
improvement of roads without speci-
ic appropriation, according to an
opinion given by Attorney General
Bell TO Auditor General Sisson and
Highway Commissioner Bigelow.
The question has been much discuss
ed on Capitol Hill, it being held that
appropriation of the thousands
of dollars paid into the state treas
ury by the highway departments au-
tomObile division was necessary, al
though the act Of April 27, 1903,
provided that money so derived
should be used for improvement of
the roads of this commonwealth"
General Bell holds that the act
specifically sets aside the money for
road improvement and that the audi
tor general shall draw warrants for
the state highway department, COW
ering sums paid into the treasury
from automobile registrations and IL
censes so that the commissioner can
use the same for road improvements.
approximately $350,00O is involved.
The attorney general has also CIV
en- an opinion that anyone shipping
cattle into Pennsylvania without a
certificate from a proper inspector
OF the state whence the cattle came
or without a special permit as re-
quired by rules of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board, is guilty of a
misdemeanor and can be prosecuted
1t is also held that the law is appli-
cable to a railroad company that
makes shipments in violation of the
act and the rules of the board.
