mon trouble in the spring OF the year,
DIR. Dougherty stated. Handlers of
soil. persons planting gardens and
men and women working in nurseries
are warned not to work with open
wounds on their hands. 1t is point
ed out that lockjaw has supplanted
typhoid as the greatets foe of armies
since digging has become n of the
principal parts of a soldiers occu-
patton.
The infection of lockjaw is usually
carried into an open wound, as when
one steps on a rusty nail, which fur
nishes both the wound and the germ.
In the exposure of a wound to dirt
about a stable or yard there is equal
danger of infection. ii is asserted.
1t is most important to keep a
house or lot in a sanitary condition
during the summe months, ii is said
so that persons will have little chance
of contracting disease germs. Rub
bish and dirt in itself may not be the
cause of infection, but both are good
breeding places for insects. mice and
other carriers of disease germs.
DR.. Dougherty said that a good
many men who handle hides and are
about horses and cattle are in con-
slant danger of contracting anthrax.
Precautions should be taken. he said,
and If open wounds are left unpro-
tected and hides or cattle are han
died there is a serious danger.

for wolf bounties, the party making
the claim must within thirty days
after the animal Is killed present the
hide of the same to the county audit
or, with his affidavit as to the date
and place of the killing. This pro-
vision is held to be mandatory. and
any claims not so filed are held to be
invalid. In the case in question, a
claimant for bounty on the 14th of
November appeared before the coun-
ty auditor with a wolf hide. and
made affidavit that the animal was
killed on the 18th day of September
and this claim is held to be invalid
because of failure to present the
skin to the county auditor with the
affidavit required within the thirty
day time limit. This regulation will
cause those who purchase bounty GER
tincates to look into the validity of
the bounty certificates offered before
they invest any great amount in
that manner.

EXPENSIVE SPITE


Scranton, Pa, Feb. 26.-Scranton
awoke today to find that it was just
$4,000 600 poorer because the men
who composed the city council some
twenty odd years ago opposed the
wishes and caprice of Judge John
Handley. His estate, now totaline
that amount, goes to the little city OF
Winchester, w. Va, for the educa-
ton of poor children, instead of to
Scranton.
The story reads like a chapter
from a novel. John Handley came to
Scranton from the south while the
civil war was in progress. He was a
picturesque figure, standing 6 feet 4
inches in height. He was built in
proportion. His black hair hung in
long curls below his coat collar. He
said he was born in Dublin, Ireland
but of his activities before coming to
Scranton he was reticent, save that
he had lived for some time in Win
chester.
He hung out his single as a law
yer. Consumption was in progress
and soon he was doing a thriving
business among clients who did not
wish to go to the front. No n ever
heard him speak of any family ties.
but it is understood his wife and a
son had died some time before his
arrival in this city, and SO far as any
one knew. he had no close relatives.
He began to acquire real estate
fronting on Lackawanna and Wyo-
ming avenues, and built a handsome
home on the present site of the Wyo-
ming house. He became interested
in a private bank. which Is now
known as the Merchants and Me-
chanics, one of the most prosperous
and occupying one of the most pala-
tial buildings in the city. In 1872 he
became interested in democratic pol

TETANUS MICROBES


Sioux City. Feb. 26.-Increased
danger Of contracting two deadly
diseases exists with the approach of
spring and the accompanying season
of activity for gardeners. farmers
and lawn workers, according to Sioux
City physicians. Lockjaw and an
thrax may be caused by germs from
the soil. The spring of the year is
said to be especially favorable for in
lection.
Certain disease germs found in the
soil may infect an open wound, said
DR.. J. p. Dougherty. The two most
important are those which produce
anthrax or wool sorter's disease. and
tetanus or lockiaw. Both are deadly

titles and was elected Judge of the
common pleas court.
In 1880 he was the first to place
cobble stone paving. oil paving of any
kind for that matter, in front of his
home in Lackawanna n A few
years later the council ordered that
the streets be paved with asphalt.
Judge Handley opposed it. He
threatened and stormed before the
city council, but TO no avail.
He opposed the council until that
body, in a spiteful mood, passed an
ordinance removing the old haymar-
ket, a t~umbledown shack extending
from Spruce street TO a point near
the residence of Judge Handley.
You'll be sorry for that" he told
the city councillors.
That was all he said. From then
or he quietly dropped out of public
life. AS he grew old. residents of
Scranton began to wonder what the
judge. without kith or kin. would do
with his money. Would he remem-
Der any Scranton institution? What
would he do for charity?
They found out what he meant
when he said "the city would be
sorry"
He left his entire estate, except a
few thousand dollars, which went to
churches, in trust for the city of Win
chester. Winchester has a popula-
ton of 5000. The estate was left in
trust for twenty years. The value of
the real estate in this city, which now
must be sold, the trust period OF
twenty years having expired, totals
at least $4,000, 900. The reality is
located in the heart of the business
district.
