Small-pox Sufferer nt Waymart Seems to Be Getting Better-The. Situation Quite Satisfactory as Incubation Period Is Passed.

The small-pox situation in the village of Waymart is quite satisfactory. No new cases have developed. and as the period of incubation, two weeks, is over today, the physicians feel quite hopeful. Bert Hull, the young man who afflicted with the disease, has taken turn for the better. Word received from Waymart last evening brought cheering news that he was improvting and his recovery is looked Ag mentioned before, the physicians interested in the case are hopeful that they have controlled its spread.

It tWO weeks today since Hull's case was diagnosed as smail-pox. This is the limit of the period of incubation, and if there was anybody who came in contact with him and in a condition to get the disease, the symptoms should be developed by this time. The fear is removed, therefore, of any one becoming affected outside of the Cliff family, where Hull is quartered, by reason of contact with the sufferer. If there is any danger from Hull's case now. it is perhaps only among those in the same household.

The quarantine, however, will not be removed from the affected house until all possible danger has passed. It was due to the quarantine being established so soon as Hull was taken sick that the spread of the disease was prevented. and it is proposed to rigidly maintain the quarantine while the danger period exists. The schools at Waymart are closed and will not be opened until the quarantine is raised. THE HOSPITAL.

The Palko Eoy Taken There Yesterday His Condition Is Grave. Stanley Miller, of Forest City, Is Dying. Andrew Palko, the driver boy who was run over in the Last Chance mine on Thursday evening, was taken to Emergency hospital. His condition became worse during the night, and his physician, Dr. D.

L. Bailey, advised the removal to the hospital, where the careful nursing the case called for would not be wanting. At the hospital last night, it was given out that Palko's condition was grave. but that owing to his youth the chances were in favor of his recovery. It was discovered yesterday that the boy was internally injured.

The car in passing over the body, beside crushing a thigh and dislocating a hip, also squeezed the lower intestines, producing an injury that may prove fatal. There is greater fear over this intestinal injury than those on his limbs. Stanley Miller, of Forest City, who was injured several days ago, much after the same manner as Palko, is in a dying condition. It was feared last night that he had almost no chance of recovery. He had his arm broken in three places, also his leg, the same number of places.

He also sustained a severe shock that is telling on him now. John Ezema, who was injured while at work about the mines at Forest City a few weeks ago went home yesterday, Meeting of Church Council.

I was called cross, but 1 could not help it, feeling I did. I could not lift anything or do any hard work without suffering for days afterwards. Menstruation lasted for eight or ten days, Pinkham's Vegetable Compound but am advised to write you before treating myself. I hardly know how to express myself.

At times I feel well, and in less than ten minutes I am actually wretched with headache, that tired feeling, and so nervous that the sound of a door bell will make me start.

A Noted Writer's Tribute to Asheville and the Mountains of North Carolina. (By A. W. Dunn, President of the Gridiron Club, Washington, D. Asheville, N.

March 8. In the mountains of the western part of North Carolina, in the far-famed "Land of the Sky," is a resort not only of pleasure, of comfort and rest, but one of health, the key of happiness. It is Asheville and the surrounding country, where the air is purer, the sky bluer, the clouds whiter, the mountain peaks finer, and the climate more delightful than any other place known in the South. Here is the haven for those who would for a little while lay down cares of life drink in the ozone of the mountains, and attempt to satiate the desire for the beautiful by gazing upon the picturesque panorama of mountain scenery, Pine covered slopes, deep reaching to the winding rivers, lofty mountains touring into the blue haze and hidden from time to time in the mist of passing clouds entrance the above you and below you, now on this side of the mountain and now on the I soul and carry one in imagination tar from the petty cares and vexations, of the busy world.
