Dancing endured from nine unti' one o'clock, with a half hour's intermission for luncheon. Owing to the weather conditions last evening, the crowd at the Iroquois dub dance, held in its rooms in the I Weber building, was rather small, but the congeniality of those who braved the rain, more than made up for the lack of numbers, and the seventeen couples present enjoyed one of the most pleasant parties ever held by the club. )'tl, lint Extremely Enjoyable, XotHilliHtunilliiit. 1*1 nee at Iroquois Club Poorly Attend' by yesterday's storm arc slow in arriving in this motion, but they indicate that the loss will bo exceptionally T1TUSV1LLE, lJa., Oct. 22.—With all tolcffiaph and telephone wires down the report® of the damage done By United Press.

COOK'S DISCOVERY CLAIM Under the present existing conditions it is impossible l'or tin* furriers to cover their routes in the allotted, time, and unless matters lire remedied at niii'c about half the p •••pit of the town wijl |oso free service. A large percentage of the people in this place keep their front doors locked and have provided no r» < eptacle for their mail. The result is that the carrier either has to g.» around to the bai k door, or carry the mail back t<• the office and take it out again on the next delivery. This not only results In delaying the carrier and impairing the service, but is decidedly unfair foi the people on the route who do their best to facilitate the movements of the carrier. A delay of two or three minutes at each house means that the P« ople on the far end of the route will ' be an hour or more late in receiving their mail. The po--t.il law requires that those enjoying free mai! delivery must have receptacles for their mail, leave tin front door open <»r place slots in tin door. \Vh< re none of these conditions are complied with, postmaster? ane instructed to cut off service. favored with tree mail delivery in this place do more toward facilitating the work of the city carriers, they will be deprived of the advantages of free mail delivery.

The big farming operations conducted by Mr. .Mitchell were the direct outcome of the shutdown of the Rosxitcr mines iaM summer, as the mine mules wore made to do ail the team work necessary to produce the afore-mentioned crops.

Mr. Mitchell states that the yield on high ground this season was far below the yield on low ground, which is a tip to the farmer to plant on both, because by so doing he will not meet with .serious disappointment, whether the season be wet or dry.

Uhlnehart. of Mercer.--burg, recently sprayed 22,000 trees in his orchards with an oil solution ami practically every tree has been killed. After spraying the trees none of them died and now all are in a m<»st flourishing condition. The spraying has had a beneficial effect upon all of the orchards in the neighborhood, for all of the farmers, who formerly be. lieved only peach trees could be helped by spraying now know that the San Jose scale can be driven oft apple trees for good. The trees were sprayed In 1907 and that year off of six acres he got '>00 bushels of the finest kind of apples. Last year the crop was lint* again, but I his year, when all the neighboring orchards were bearing only a third to one-half a crop, the trees were loaded d««\vn with apples, some of the limbs being pressed to the ground by the weight of the fruit. The entire orchard in 1900 was affected with San Jose scale. The trees \yen withered looking and the apples very small and wormy. Economic Zoologist Surface heard of the decision of (lelwick. visited the orchard and found it tilled with trees about eleven years old. He advised the spraying of the trees with a boiled lime and sulphur solution. Three years ago Mr. Qllwlck was unable to get even ten cents a bushel for his apples and decided to chop down all of his trees and raise wheat and corn.

Rnsmussen adds that where it Is ji >sslble to compare Dr. Cook's report with the statements of his Eskimo companions the explorer's statements prow- quite trustworthy. The Eskimos were astonished when l)r. Cook told them the pole ha I been reached. They had. on previous days, asked him to turn hack because they were so far from shore that they thought they would never return alive. The ice to th«- pole, the Eskimos said, was no different from the rest of the ice they had « ncountered. The expedition, therefore, did not turn back owing to Ice dittl ultles. but because the pole had been reached. The Eskimos showed* a chart of the rout'- with winter quarters at Jones sound. They told also how, as st ited by Dr. Cook, the expedition, owing to open wat r, was unable I • reach the depots at Helberg's l.sland. The Eskimos were unable to say how far north they had been but the journey had been so long, according to the- Kskimos, that "the sun finally did not disappear." md it was .summer before they reached land again. The Kskimos confirmed the date of the expedition's departure from Auatuk i4s given by Dr. Cook. They said that the expedition had met comparatively good ice and weather. < 'UPKMi AC. KX, Oct. "J l' .

During the reading of the minutes it developed that the roll of Company C had been lost, and the members of the regiment were requested to make an effort to resurrect the lost document. Exceptions were taken to the holding of the reunions so late in the year, and a motion was made to change from the third Thursday of October to the third Thursday of September. Af. ter an exhaustive debate the comrades concluded to not make a change, but left th«- selection of the date to the Rig Run Committee, with instruetlonsto set the time as near the 15th of I October as possible. The first matter taken up at the meeting was the selection of a place for the next annual meeting. Brookville, DuRois and Rig Run were placed in nomination and the claims of each town were ably represented.
