Scarlet Fever.

March 18Th it was reported to the
Health Board and the School Board ofs
Tionesta that two children who live IN th
country, but attend the Tionesta schools,
had been taken down with scarlet fever
and that others of the families, who also
attended school, were liable to have the
fever. 1t was evident that prompt action
should be taken to prevent any spread OF
the disease and il possible to keep II
confined to the two families.
The schools were ordered closed for the
remainder of the week. The school
board and the board of health held Joint
meeting on the l4lh at which it was de.
termined, as matter of precaution, it
would be best to keep the schools closed
for another week and disinfect the school
building, and also that the Sunday
Schools be closed on the 18th. This order
has been strictly obeyed and every room
in the school building thoroughly disin-
fected By this means the board OF health
and school board believe the disease will
be confined to the two families.
Nine of the William Mckee family
have contracted the fever. The first to
take 1t, girl about seven years old, died
but the other children seem to be all get
ling along well.
The one child Of A. l.. Thomson, who
has the lever, is rapidly recovering and
no others have it. There are no cases in
the borough and it is believed the prompt
action of the boards will prevent any
If none appear this week then schools
will open as usual without any fear
whatever.
In connection with this it is well to call
attention to the fact that refuse accumu-
lates about houses during snow and win
ter and will appear upon the surface and
should be promptly removed and lots
put in clean condition before visit
from the Health Officer.

can begin to lay off their mbersome

Breakup Causes No Damage.

The Allegheny river is now practically
clear of ice from ABOVE Warren down to
Pittsburg. Sunday evening it passed out
at this point and, contrary to expecta-
tions, no damage worth mentioning was
done. About four o'clock the great body
of ice, ranging in thickness from one to
two feet, aud which had been breaking
above here all the afternoon, came down
and lodged at the river bridge and for a
time it looked as though the dam thus
created would cause the flooding of the
lower portion of the town. Then streak
several rods wide extending from a short
distance below the bridge, was washed
out of the center of the river through
which the water rushed In torrent for
an hour or more. Finally the pressure
back of the gorge caused movement of
the whole body, and the solid cakes be-
gan to crumble and crush, showing high
into the air and crowding out over the
baLks in many places. This occurred
about $3.50 o'clock, and after it had been
running nearly an hour a jam at the
island below town caused a backing up of
the water so that heavy cakes of ice were
floated back onto some of the lots on the
lower ground, and again caused some
apprehension of danger, but break be-
low released the food and the water re-
ceded rapidly, thus relieving the anxiety
that has all along been felt when the
breakup should come, because of the
great thickness which the ice had attained.
The river closed with ice at this point
on Monday night the Sth of January, and
passed out Sunday evening March l7th,
thus making practically ten weeks OF a
solid ice bridge without break, record
which has not heretofore been attained in
quarter ofa century, and perhaps may
not be repeated in the next twenty-fY
years. Yea, the winter has been one of
the "od fashioned" kind with a venge.
ance, and we're all rejoicing that the
back bone of it is now badly cracked if
not entirely broken.
The ice is practically all out of Tiouesta
creek, although there we're small gorges
remaining Tuesday at May burg and Blue
Jay, neither of which can do any dam
age. A big gorge at Little Coon creek,
just above Nebraska, flooded the S. & 4.
railroad tracks aud prevented the com.
pany from running any trains out of
Nebraska Tuesday. This gorge broke
early Tuesday evening. A big gorge
formed Monday night in Stow bend,
mile above Tionesta. and lodged against
the creek bridge, holding until Tuesday
afternoon. The back water flooded the
low fields on the farms of Fred l.. Reib
and Jacob Smearhaugh, but the damage
was slight. When this gorge went out
VIM. Lawrence's loot bridge at the
mouth OF the creek was given a shaking
mp. The upright supports holding the
bridge at the center pier were knocked
down, allowing the bridge to sag into the
ice, with the result that considerable
section of the planking was torn off,
Qnite number of gorges formed at diff
ierent places IN the creek Monday but
all went out without any damage and the
break up was the easiest and incest wit
messed in many years.

THE COST on living.

A special to the Topeka Capital
published yesterday, is as follows:
Erie, Kan. July 22.-An enter
prising person burrowed into past
history and compiled list of COM
modities and the prices for which
they sold twenty-five years ago. Ac-
cording to his figures, butter was
worth ten cents per pound, eggs six
cents dozen, corn thirty cents per
bushel and hogs four and half
cents per pound. In comparison with
present-day figures, Neosho county
live stock and produce sold for about
half as much twenty-five years ago
as at the resent time"
Well, let's see! Which side Of the
