Although a few good catches were made during the season by the anglers from Punxsutawhey and vicinity, they were the exception more than the rule and toward the end of the season the fish* ermen had become disgusted and the casts made were few. The majority of the local anglers who had any luck at all during, the season Ashed In Potter and adjacent counties. At no time during the season were the streams Just right for Ashing. The Asbermen are of the belief that next years should be a banner one as but few were taken from the streams this year. talon te travel it*MD DuBoIs . evenlag wbtp treated to • spestacplar forest Are I the woods lor a distance o( a half ot a mile oft tooth sid#» of the road barnIng, says the DnBoia Gourler.

Shrieks of Agony As They EIGHT BODIES HAVE KEI REOVEREI mm mm iEtm The other young men who wore Mttly scalded are resting easily at their homes and unless uraemia develops both will recover. The flesh of the unfortunate man's body was go badly cooked that It will probably be found advisable to make immediate burial and services will be held not later than tomorrow afternoon. Although no autopsy was held, H is believed that Inward injuries contributed to young Bush's death. The accident occurred about 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon and although the Injured were given immediate medical attention It was not until yesterday morning that Bush was brought to the hospital here, the physicians believing at first that he could be cared for at home. Sunday when he grew worse It was feared that he could not stand the trip to Punxsutawney in the heat of the day and the physicians accordingly waited until the cool of the morning, Monday, before starting. When ha arrived here shortly before noon he was rapidly sinking and death ensued only a snort time after he was admitted to the hospital. The body of Mangle 8. Bush, the 19-year-old boy who died in the 'Adrian hospital yestferday morning of injuries received Saturday when the boiler in a chopping mill exploded, was yesterday afternoon taken to his <home near Granger, under the care of Undertaker Raymer, ' of Worth viile. E. W. Robinson acted a« chairman of the meeting on the absence ot President W. W. Wlnslow. The only directors absent were Messrs. W'lnslow and Steplienson. Contrary to expectations Mr. Lex X. Mitchell was the only person to appear before,{he board. Mr. Mitchell talked at some length stating that he was not opposed to a system of medical inspection for prevention of Infection and contagion, but opposed the system as required by the code because he thought it would1 Be Infringing on the rights of the parent and an unnecessary expense to the district. He asked that the board vote against the proposed system and adopt a modified sysletm of their own such as has been In operation for the past two years in this district. There being no other person pres ent to lie heard either for or against the proposition the hoard took up the discussion at some length and after a very careful consideration of the matter in all Its phases, decided hy a unanimous vote to adopt the system required by the new code for the coming school year. The special meeting to consider the question of whether the system of medical Inspection required by the new school code he adopted or not and to give all persons Interested an opportunity to uppear before the hoard anil express their views for or against same was held last evening at 7:30 by the Punxsutawney nchoul board The* merchants ought to get together immediately and perfect arrangements for the First Annual. Tho Union Merchants' picnic would draw several hundred people from each town and would serve not only to cement friendly relations between the business men, but between the townspeople In general. The event could be made an annual affair and in a very brief time would doubtless become the big event of the year in this section. IPunxsiitawnev, Revnoldsviile and DuBois are closely related. The same business conditions maintain In each town and nothing could b<; more helpful for the merchants of each than to get together on such an occasion, promote their already friendly relations and talk things over. The Spirit yesterday suggested a merchant'* picnic with the#buslness men of ReynokUvlle, DuBois and Punxsutawney participating. The idea immediately caught on and It has been ascertained that a great many of the Punxautawney merchants, as well as practically all the Reynoldsville merchants and not a few of the DuBois business men arc heartily in favor of such an event. The arrangements for a gala stent of such a nature could easily be consummated. The merchants of each town could appoint a committee of two, which committee would confer with the committees from other towns, select a data, place and arrange such other details a« were necessary.mm « meet IEISIMM IIS6CCEEB till BUTLKR, Pa., Aug. 1.—Cars have been running on regular schedule tho pjfst three days over the Harmony vRoute, and the officials of the company declare they are well satisfied with the progress i»ade In getting the service started on the non-union basis. No conference to end the strike has been arranged, according to information on both sides. Cars were run to Pittsburg every two hours Saturday, arriving and leaving there at 8, 10 a. m., 12 m, 2, ,4 and 6. p. m. On Friday the cars ran every four hours. On the Now Castle division the service is every hour and a half. On the Butler division the cars are running every two hours on the odd hours, 7, 9 and 11 a. m., and 1, 3 and 5 p. m. The company haH the line thoroughly policed so that anyone attempting to tamper with the property will face arrest at once. No trouble has been reported. The telephone on the New Castle division was out of order Saturday morning, but It alter developed that it had not been tampered with, but that an Insulator had come loose on the Allen bridge near Zelienople. ' The Pittsburgh, Shawmut ft Northern railroad placed an order a few days ago for.BOO all-ateel hopper cars of the heaviest capacity. They will *be used for the greater part In handling the traffic of the Allegheny River Mining company which has been developing mines along the Mahoning creek. The cars are to be delivered early In the fall when the railroad is expected to be cqmpleted as fas as the Allegheny river at Mahoning. The rails are being laid on tho - Mahoning division and linemen are also engaged in stringing telephone wires along the right of way. From Mahoning; down to Freeport all work is suspended at present and wll not likely eb resumed until the upper part of the road between Brookville and Mahoning is completed. The grading is practically all done, but the large trestle across the Allegheny at Mahoning is yet to be constructed. Considerable work has been done on this bridge, gome of the foundations for the piers being placed, but It Is now desired to have more water In the river so that boats may toe floated about the work in order to go ahead. Tne plans all atqpg have been to complete the Mahoning branch this summer and lay the road into Freeport before the first of the new year this will probably be done.—-Klttanning Times.

There were six hundred patients in the bulging when the fire broke out, eighty-five of the moat dangerous being on the fifth floor. Thj insane inmates but merely regarded M as a splendid spectacle, and gave no thought to saving themselves. The most fatalities occurred on the top floor, where the hopelessly-insane were confined. The firemen, doctors and nurses acted hi a heroic manner. Nets were used to catch patients tHrown through the windows, and many were saved In this manner. (HI 1. MIT DEM ■nry R.

C„ Auk. 1.—It Is reported on the best authority that President Taft has about decided to appoint John G. A. Welshman, of Pittsburgh, American ambassador to Italy, as ambassador to Germany, succeeding David Jayne Hill, who resigned last spring. According to the same authority, Thomas J. O'Brien, now ambassador to Japan, will be sent to Rome to succeed Mr. Leiahman. No decision", It Is understood, has been made as to Mr. O'Brien's successor at Toklo. In cage it la decided not to send Mr. Lelshman to Berlin it was understood yesterday that Robert Bacort, ambassador to France, probably would be considered and Mr. Lelshman transferred from Rome to Paris. Within a week or two the remodeling of the Punxsutawney Country Club House will have been completed. The floor of the large room of the old section of the club house is to planed and put into condition for dancing. Whether or not the floor, which Is of rather poor material, can be made fit for that purpose is a problem, but the directors are determined to do It if possible. It. would seem that a new floor would have been economy in the long run. The remodeled club house will probably be opened with appropriate festivities.

WHITE SLAVE CONSPIRACY UNEARTHED IN NEW YORK NIK HI Wli IF fUB SPOKANE, Wagh., Aug. 1.—Alexander Lindsey, superintendent of the local water department,, qlalms a world's record for pumping more than 58,000,000 gallons of water in 24 hours and keeping the reservoirs full. Two unites of 24,000,000 gallons' capacity -were held In reserve. These figures mean that 500 gallons of water was pumped for every man, woman and child in Spokane, or a total oif 18,000,000 gallons more than was pumped during any day last year. The water was furnished at a temperature of 48 degrees, being pumped from deep wells. The water works system is owned by the municipality and is under the direct pharge of Charles M. Fassett, commissioner of public utilities. The people of Spokane have practically unrestricted sprinkling privileges between 6 o'clock a. m. and 9 o'clock at night.

"I'm tired of buying foam," said the pure food expert. Indignantly. "There Bhould be a line on glasses Indicating where solid beer ends." John R. Mauff, representing the National Consitbert League, argued that moat people were under the lmprcgi'icp that all beer wis made or barley malt, hops and water, when in reality Inferior grains or "chemical preservatives' were substituted. He assorted that tlu, biewers could l:we nothing by labeling their product and that (he consumer soon would Indicate his preference for the various kinds of beer manufactured. The United Brewers association, represented at the hearing by a committee, suggested that beers were substantially alike and needed no labeling to differentiate them. Mr. Mauff exploited the merit* of beer, but charged that the public did not get enough for Its money. He referred to the fact that the consumer when Bold a "pint" or • "quart" In reality Was given what is known on brewers' invoice as a "small" or a "large," and that since the Spanlata- Amerlcan par the "Ave quarU to the Italian measure' had ever been changed.
