FIELD YIELDS GOLD.

Edgefeld May S.-Yesterday
while working in the field Of Mr..
Prescott's place, in the Rehohoth sec
ton Of the county, a tenant ploughed
up an iron pot, containing about four
hundred dollars in gold. BY whom it
was buried is not known, although
from the appearance of the vessel it
must have been many years ago.
Some question has been suggested
as to who is entitled to the money,
the finder or the owner of the land, or
if the latter has any interest in it. 1t
seems to be the opinion that, under
the law, the finder is entitled to it, in
the absence of the real owner.

HARRISBURG LETTER

Pennsylvania's Legislature will ad-
journ finally for this session at noon
on Thursday, June 26. This has
been decided upon by the House of
representatives, which adopted a
resolution to that effect and was the
result of conference of Republican
leaders held last week with the Gov
ernor.
A majority of the Committee on
Rules recommended the adoption of
the proposition to adjourn on June
26, including Messrs. Ehrhardt and
Cans, Republicans, and G. A. Bald
win, Progressive, and Sassaman and
Cochran, Democrats. Messrs. Allen,
Allegheny; S. B. Scott, of Philadel-
phia, Independent and Speaker AL
ter refused to join in the report.
Mr.. Alter made a lengthy argu-
ment in favor of continuing in ses-
sion until important measures not
yet passed upon would be submitted
to vote. The most modern up-to-
date transit conditions that can be
devised.
Governor Tener has signed the
Hunter bill, which authorizes cities
of the first and second class to COM

in the employ of the city as the re-
suit of injuries, sickness or disable
ment of any kind sustained while in
the performance of their duties.
Employees are to receive the same
salary or wages they would have re-
ceived during the period of their
absence, but never for a period OF
time to exceed one year.

CITIES AND SIGNS.

The Citizen takes pleasure in re-

Erie Railroad company issues twelve

for the Magazine, but was originally
published in the Oregon Twinkler,
some sort of star publication that
shines and twinkles clear across the
continent on the Pacific coast.
Here is the article-now read it:

preliminary skirmishing for what
will soon develop into open warfare
on the RUNNING, zooning, pestifer-
Gus, sleep killing mosquito. With
the whole nation aroused against the
house fly, the government health Of
ficials believe that similar activity
should be directed against the NAL
aria carrying pest. A we'll defined
fight against the mosquito has been
going on for some time, but the gov
ernment officials do not believe that
the battle is general enough. Fed
eral scientists will study the most, ef-
ficient way in which to eliminate the
mosquito during the summer and as
soon as possible a report on their
findings will be published and sent
all over the country by the govern

WHAT 1T WILL COST PER LINEAL
FOOT.

1t is not going to cost a mint to
the property owners to pave Main
street, as some people believe it will.
An owner of property with a front
age of fifty feet will be asked to
pay at the rate of $4.00 per lineal
foot if the trolley road does not en-
ter into the contract and only $500
per lineal foot should the street
railway be built. These figures re-
fer to that part of the street from
the State bridge to Fourth street.
From the State bridge north to the
borough line, where twenty-three
feet is the width of the proposed
pave, only $1.25 is the scheduled
cost, providing the trolley extends
north to the Texas line, and S5 cents
per lineal foot if the road is built
On West Park street the cost OF
abutting property owners will be
$1.75 per lineal foot. The trolley
does not intend going over this piece
of road at present, hence the price
will remain the same. Is this expen
sive paving?

KEEP THE BABY WE'LL.

The Washington Health Depart
ment has printed a list of rules for
keeping baby well that ought to be
posted in every nursery. The story of
the hot summer days and the sick
baby is an old one, but it will bear
repetition so long as there are young
mothers and new babies. The rules
follow:
Be sure of the milk you purchase.
See that milk is pure and wholesome;
then keep it clean and cold.
Scald the nursing bottle often and thor
Give the child as much cool water as
he will take.
Keep the child in the open air of parks
but not exposed to the suns hot rays.
The clothing of the child should be
light and loose.
Children should be bathed two or three
times each day during hot weather,
At the first appearance of physical all
ments call physician.
Improper food combined with high
temperature are the great destroyers OF
babies, causing 80 per cent. of the deaths.
The violation of any one of these
may result seriously for baby. Their
strict observance will keep any nor

Among other bills to meet with
the approval of the governor were:
Giving permission to associations
of veteran soldiers, when parading
on Sundays, to be accompanied by a
proper military band while going to
divine services or for the purpose of
interring any deceased member, pro-
vided that the bands shall not play
while returning from such services
or from interments.
Giving cities of the third class the
right to prescribe by ordinance rea-
sonable district within which all
electric wires shall be placed under
ground or in conduits.
Authorizing cities of the third

TUESDAY, JUNE IL, 1913.

United States, and when you see cut glass
on your table tell your oregon friends
you saw the town where that was made"
The writer hereof has frequently
noticed when travelling that without
the aid of the timetable of the road
on which he is travelling, and a good
watch that is running along in har-
mony with the conductors time
piece, it would be quite out of the
question to tell what towns you are
travelling through.
A notable example for years has
been Battle Creek, Michigan, where
near the Michigan Central station, in
a splendid location, huge sign sew
eral feet high and many feet long
told the travelling public the city
name and brief statement of what
the city was doing and offering. That
sign was there ten years ago, and
either that, or larger one, we pre-
sumo is there to-day.
Honesdale, it may be noted, is ad-
vertised clear across the continent
because one man had the fore
thought to suggest placing its name
on the sign of one of it's industries;
but why not adopt the Battle Greek
idea and advertise a little more ex.
plicitly? And this suggestion is moi
made entirely to Honesdale, but like
wise to Hawley, to White Mills and
to Waymart.

Death of George NJ. Thomas.

The many Honesdale friends of
George M. Thomas were shocked to
learn of his sudden death which oc-
Cured last Saturday afternoon at
his home in Carbondale. George is
son of John and Cornelia Thomas
Of West Side avenue, Honesdale, but
for the past few years he has been
employed as foreman of the rough
ers' department in the Pioneer Cut
Glass company's shop in that city.
Death was caused by a complication
of diseases, but the immediate cause
was pleuro-pneumonia, he being ill
about four days.
The deceased was born in Homes
dale April 1, 1881, and six
years ago was united in marriage to
Miss Carolyn Schiessler of this place
Besides his wife, two children, boy
and girl, survive, namely, Niles and
Helen. Three sisters and two broth
ers also survive, as follows: John, OF
Honesdale; Henry, of Middletown
N. Y; Lena, wife of John Schilling
of Schenectady, N. Y; Dena, wife OF
John Fisher, of Honesdale; Carolyn
wife of A. w. Bishop, of Scranton.
The remains were brought from
Carbondale to Honesdale Monday
! evening on the Delaware and Hudson
train. The funeral will be held from
the home of his parents, Mr.. ant

Then. lust as we had become ac-
customed once more to meeting Mr..
Menner on his daily round between
his store and his place of business,
we failed to meet him again, day af-

noticeable and inquiry developed the
information that Mr.. Menner was
confined to his home with that most
vexatious of troubles-rheumatism.
Now, travelling is bad enough, but
rheumatism is worse, and our well
known merchant has found it to be
so. He found himself for several
days ready to trade his stock of
rheumatism for almost anything that
was tradable; but the trading mar
ket did not seem to be very active.
Then, just as we were becoming
only trifle used to Mr.. Menner's alb

form on the street again, and trust
now there will be no more breaks
scheduled for the immediate future.
