I«M of Cor|HHntioi»* That Owe C'onioiiwralth. Stale Treasurer Sheut/. Has lini-lnd DIM MAXES WAY FOR CERETOPSIAN Inasmuch as everybody, or so greal u majority as to make this statement substantially correct, is 1a consumer of ugar, the public has followed the progress of the ease with more than passing interest. There is an added feature in the situation in that the city of New York now has pending against the company a suit charging that the corporation surreptitiously took water in great quantites from the city main. Declines in stocks of the American (Sugar Refining Company, the great corporation under lire, were recorded yeMerday as the investigation proceeded. This same company not long ago paid back to the government not more than $-,000,000 as recompense for short weights while later it settled out of court a civil suit brought by the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company, a small rival which it put out of business. This settlement is now undergoing final adjustment and it was upon the strength of evidence produced at the trial that the government brought an anti-trust suit only to be checked by a ruling on the statute of limitations. r« • r.s. Notice has been given the District | Attorney that any attempt to have the trials begin November L'!». before Federal Justice *artin, will be resisted. The defendants sa\ thnt owing t«* the public clamor against the Sugar Trust it will be impossible to get fair trials In this district. , Then there is plenty of evidence at hand to indicate that farming in this section does pay, and pay handsome- With turkey selling: at from 25 to 30 I cents, butter at from 86 to 40 cents, «'ggs at from 35 to 40 cents, chickens at from IS to 20 cents, and about everything; the farmer can produce, excepting potatoes, going at bumper prices. there should be no good cause for the "leaving tin- farm" epidemic indicated by the "public sale" exhibit. If tin- merchants and wholesale dealers in Punxsutawney were to compute the amount of money they pay out annually for grain and productshipped from outside this vicinity, the figures would amount to millions, and would doubtless be appalling. If there is anything lacking that would constitute an inducement for people to remain on, or adopt farming, it should be made known at once. Staple crops, such as oats, corn, wheat, rye, buck whoa t, hay, straw and their 'by-products command bumper prices. Horses were never much higher in price. Cattle sheep and hogs and their products are out of s'ght, and, as for poultry, including chickens, turkeys, ducks and the like, a.s well as eggs butter, milk and most garden truck, the figures "per" are bewilderingly high. ever before. The reason for this state of affairs Is not easy to figure out in the face of the Pict that the prices for nearly all sorts of farm product* are higher than The list shows that "public sales" hereabouts have become epidemic, and the indications are that the already neglected farm problem in this section is due for a further jolt. The Job department of The Spirit lias printed so many "Public Sale" handbills recently, that the foreman a asked for an investigation to determine, if possible, why so npiny farmers in this vicinity are selling off their stock and farming Implements, and going into other business. The company has placed orders for 0,000 tons of steel rails for delivery next spring, which will bring the total of expenditures of the fiscal year up to. about $4,000,000. ' Interested persons hereabouts can remember the time, not so long ago, when the 13., R. & P. pay at this place was about one-fourth thdt of yesterday. "With the issuing of the B.. H. & P. semi-monthly pay yesterday and last evening, it has been estimated that over $150,000 has been paid out by large industrial concern* in and about town. This is a large sum and coming at the turning season of the year will no doubt be used to great advantage for laying in a winter supply by the many families made happy by the distribution. However, even this is expected to be increased at the next semi-monthly pay, as longer" hours have been inaugurated quite recently by several of the establishments, which means larger pay-roll*." The B., K. & P. Co. has begun to receive the shipments of their new boxcars, which were recently ordered from Berwick. The cars lare of the SO,000 pounds capacity variety, with steel undertime.Of the wages paid at DuBois a goodly chunk of which comes to Punxsutawney, the Courier this morning said: The pay at the local yard office was $54,000, and the employes of the Roadmaster's department received 134,000. The roundhouse employes receive their check* through the Du- Bois office, and the maintenance of way •accounts are kept at the main office in Rochester, X. Y. Although there is no way to get at the exact figures representing the pay for each department, it is estimated that the checks given out here, at Du- Hols and Rochester to their employes in Punxsutawney and vicinity, and for maintenance of way in the yards and tracks, was fully $300,000. Yesterday was payday for the employes of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pitts-burg Railroad Company, and It hag been at least 26 moons since there were more or bigger checks Issued by that corporation In Punxsutawney. HOSPITAL rin HORSES IT WIS GKFAT if the loss of time by individual voters in going twice to the polls could be estimated, it would probably double the above figures, but there is no way of estimating this even approximately. Thus the official part of the January* primaries and the February elecjtion represent a total outlay of $5 75,- 000. The expenditures of party committees and candidates vary greatly, hut it is estimated to make these figures at least as large as the official expenditures, thus bringing the aggregate up past the $1,000,000 mark. Expenses of the February election, including pay of election officers, rent I of polling places, printing of ballots, [advertising of proclamations, Itc., are paid by the counties, but there is sufficient data at the capitoj to make certain that the aggregate cost is not less than $375,000. The State itself will save approximately $150,000 a year by reason of the doing away with the uniform primaries in January. The counties are reimbursed out of the State Treasury for the uniform primary expenses, and the bills for 190 7 aggregated $140,150- .75, and for 1908, $143,831. As not .ill the districts ',hold uniform primaries in January, some exercising the option to retain the old system and pay their own bills, it is estimated that the total cost of nominating officers for the February election is $200,000. HARRlSBUTtG, Nov. 1(5.—Abolition of the February elections, as a result of the adoption of the amendments to the State Constitution in the recent election, will result in a direct saving of at least $1,000,000 a year. This is the estimate of officials at the capitol who are famllar with such matters.The ilimiHaur will be mounted and placed on exhibition in the rooms of the Museum of Natural IIImIoin smur time this winter. According to Prof. Urown, who spent tho summer in Montana at the head of a mu.seum expedition. the dinosaur when alive was an herb eater and walked on four feet. It is supposed to have been about twenty-three feet long and in height about seven feet. The species found by Prof. Brown is entirely new to science, ami professors of natural history consider the skeleton of the dionsHiir an exceedingly rare lind. The remains include the hip bones and I he larger part of the vertebral column. Only the skull and front limbs of the dinosaur are missing. The skeleton was found in the Laramie formation in the wilds of .Mootana. and its age is estimated at 000.000 years. Andrew uCrnegie's celebrated doplo,<locus, which is the pi« rede resistance in the Carnegie Library. Pittsburg, has been relegated to the roar by the discovery recently in Montana by Prof. Barnum Brown, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, of the skeleton of a ceretopsian which the Professor says, is a heretofore undiscovered genu* of "the dinosaur. ZOLtARVILLE IS FIRE SWEPT Representative Herbert Parsons says that not a single Republican politician in X»>\v York lias been touched by the sugar scandal. He made this statement in answer to the charge that hoe!) removed .several well-known Republicans from the pay roll for ca use. It is known that Mr. Taft has given instructions to sift the sugar scandal to the bottom, and that all possible means be used to bring those who are criminally concerned to Jutiee. It is expected that the greater part of thf Oabinet's meeting will be taken up with th discussion of the sugar cast's.WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 1G.— Attorney General Wickers ham and Secretary of the Treasury MaeVeagh arc busily engaged today in preparing the data in the sugar fraud cases for presentation to President Taft during the cabinet meeting later in the day. MUN30N RAN AWAY AHEAD OF THE IICKE1 President Hailing, of the Chicago. Milwaukee St. Paul Flail road, deelined to say more than that tin- men are just as safe now as tin > were yesterday at this time. The mine is too big ml has too many ramiti ations, he said, to be tilled with smoke yet. Besides, the smoke is not carried downward by any undercurrents. if the men were alive yesterday, every man may be alive now. As a result of the disaster there are in this town of only a few hundred inhabitants. ;it least 1,000 orphans and 200 widows. These are the figures of Ounmn McDonald. president of District No. I. I M. \V. of A . who Instituted a n il call of the families of the entombed min*-is. The spe< taclc about the mouth of the wrecked mine at dusk last night was pathetic. A tall, skeleton frame of iron work, reaching skyward, surrounded by ;i group of low wooden buildings which a few days ;mo had be« n the scene of industry suggested by their desolation that hope had been abandoned. Only a half dozen guards patrolled the premises. In the distance, scattered over the Meld, a few women wrapped in shawls, looked on in silence. It was conjectured the miners had crawled for safety into the recess remotest from th< tire, but* to these parts the rescuers were unable to go without reascending. Before they could again descend, the lire had broken out. Gradualh tin crowd about the mouth of the shaft began to thin as hope seemed to wane. spon&c. "Hey, are you there," cried the rescuers, but nothing wis heard in re- The rescuers who were looking for entombed miners who might still be alive, on "i# occasion got down three hundred feet to the bottom of the hoisting shaft. Then, groping their way with electric lam,»s. and kept alive by oxygen, carried with thein. they penetrated 150 feet into the bottom gallery. But none of the miners, either dead or alive, were found. Tomorrow search will be made for the bodies Feeling among the survivors burst foith this morning and they were fierce in their denunciations of the company. spying that it is responsible for the fire, through Its neglect in not repairing electric light cables promptly and permitting the use of torches. It is believed that by nightfall the flames will have been extinguished. The officials are now bending all their efforts towards lighting the fire which is raging under the surface. No efforts will be made today to penetrate the depths of the shafts. The experts declare that no one could be alive in the mine. By United Press. CHKIIIIY, 111., Nov. 16.—All hopes of waving the lives of the miners who are entombed in the St. Paul mine, were blasted today, when the shafts were hermetically sealed. Chief Heran. of the Chicago Fire Department, and six expert firemen artlved here today <»n a special train bearing 50,000 gallons • »f water, hose and chemicals, and n hole wits cut In the ■ over o fthe main shaft and the hose dropped through it in the hope of controlling the flames through th-- uso of ehemltals. The fact that some farmers hereabouts, who not many years ago started in .vith approximately nothing, can now show good farms, good buildings and bank accounts, mnd some of them own an automobile, is prima facie evidence. as the lawyers say, that farming can be made to pay, and pay big, in this section of the State. What can be done in the way of profitable farming was demonstrated by a Punxsutawney professional man the past summer. in early spring in* bought a farm and put a good man in charge of it. The farmer burned viway the old fences, cleared off the fence rows and planted them in corn and potatoes, used a lot of fertiliser, cared lor the crop intelligently and persistently, and cleared between 18 and L'O per cent, of the co.st of the farm. The professional man, having demonstrated the capacity of the farm, had no trouble in selling it. even before the crops had been harvested. There are fine farms to he seen by the scores along all of the roads leading to Punxsutawney, and, although they are not making much of ia fuss about it, many of the farmers are getting rich. In fact, almost every farmer In this neck o* the woods who has given his acres the proper care and attention, has been making money most of th. in right through the panic of 1907-8. SCORE OF LIVES LOST | IN LAKE SUPERIOR Cooked and .served with yams the flesh furnished a line item for the Elks' bill of fare, and many who last night ate of it felt like sending congratulations to President Taft, who has been making good with the people of the South, because of his capacity for possum and yams. Chef Harry IS. Heatty, of the Elks, wus summoned yesterday morning by the Campbells, and while removing the pelt he discovered that all three of the shots had taken effect in Br'er Possum's head and neck, and it is his opinion that all three had produced fatal wounds, although the possum did not so regard them at first. The old army musket had done its work well, and they saw dimly outlined, and making his last kick, the largest, juiciest, sleek-haired possum that ever purloined poultry pelagically.When the .smoke of battle cleared awiay* the Campbells relit the lantern, fixed up Will's arm where the gun kicked him, and returned to the inside of the coop. "I'll Hx him," said William, and hastening to the house he took down and loaded an old army musket, lieturning, he told his father to stand from under, took good aim, shut his eyes and pulled the trigger. William Campbell said it was a coon and blazed away with his revolver. 11. Clay did not say anything audibly,  soaked the intruder with a club.

Roth having lost poultry lately. they made haste to investigate. Without the formality of changing their evening dress, they lied post Kibte, and met at the H. Clay (.'ampbell chicken coop, the father armed with a lamp and a fierce-looking club, and the son with .1 38-cali-ber Smith & Wesson revolver. Without giving the thief an opportunity to evaporate, they banged the door open just as a low, chubby, guilty-looking beast was putting the finish 011 the third of a trio of choice hens. A large possum that for several weeks had been feasting off the choicest poultry raised in the South Side, Monday morning came to grief, and last night furnished the piece de resistance for patrons 01 the Elks' club rooms.

FEUD CULMINATES IN BLOODY FIGHT While fewer burses are now used in the mines, horseflesh is becoming more valuable, and it, is believed that with care and 'attention horses that are injured and become sick while at work can be cured, besides the standard of all animals can be kept up to a higher grade. * The company makes this a shipping point for several reasons. "Dickey" Smith is recognized us a boss stableman, and has charge of a model barn erected there several years ago. In addition to this the company owns large areas oif surface land where there is good grazing and the hdrses can be turned out after a trip from the far West. The original barn is something ( of an innovation, having been erected of two-inch timber throughout, bolted and wedged together after Western fashion. At the Kyle plant of the H. C. Frick Coke Compa-ny there is being erected art immense horse hospital where the sick horses-of the company will in the future be treated, says the Connellsville Courier. The big horse hospital is located near Fairehance, at which point practically all the horses purchased in the West are unloaded. II. C. Prick Coke Cumimiiy Will Take Care of Kick aiul Injured Equine.

"From the instant the curtain rose until the finale 'The Three Twins' brought out grins, snickers and uproarious laughter, and If any person in the audience left with a grouch he never will be pleased in thi.s world, yho people were all so good that it would be invidious to particularize, the costumes were wonderfully fantastic and 'fantastically wonderful, and the scenic effects were entirely in keeping. Gems from 'The Three Twins' have been heard here before, but Williamsport did not know that the whole play was a gem of purest ray serene. It ought to come again." "This exceedingly classy musical comedy, heard and «een here last evening for the first time, although it was for months one of the theatrical sensations of the large cities, drew a magnificent audience at the Lycoming. It may be summed up, audience, play and all, in three words, 'It was great.' Very few theatrical attractions get headed for Punxsutawney but what get "knocked" somewhere along the line in the columns of our exchanges. Thus far this season two exceptions may be mentioned, "A Broken Idol," which was here last Friday night, and "The Three Twins," which will be the attraction at the Jefferson Theater tomorrow night.

Lloyd was taken to a nearby farm house. He and Samuel were arrested by Constable H. F. Hills. GREKNSBUKG, Nov. 10. — On a lonely mountain road a feud between the Snyder and Pile families in Donegal Township culminated in a tragedy last night when Gay Snyder, aged 20, was shot and Instantly killed, and Lloyd Pile, 17 years old, was seriously stabbed and cut. Late last night the nurses on night duty at the Punxsutawney Hospital were aroused to action, or rather inaction. by a noise in the basement. Before they sufficiently recovered to summon male help so that the matter might be investigated the hubub ceased, and the noise was attributed to a cat.
