Kr. W. B. Egerton Assaults Mr. 6. B.
Bice During Session of Court and
la fined.
Monday morning was a lively time
h the Mayor's court for Loulsburg, as
the Kases and development created
nuch Interest and excitement.
The first case called by his Honor,
Mayor Turner, was that of Messrs.
4us B. Blco and Courtney D. Egerton
tor a fight on the streets Saturday.
Owing to the fact that In this affray
Mr. Egerton received a cut on the
forehead, and nose, his attorney moved
that the warrant be amended to an
assault with deadly weapon as to Rice.
Both parties submitted to the charge
of simple assault, and Rice plead not
guilty as to assault with deadly
weapon. The Mayor proceeded to
kear the evidence and not being
willing to take the responsibility of
determining whether the Instrument
used was a deadly weapon,"bound the
defendant over to court under a $200
bond, which was given.
After bond had been satisfied In the
above case and while the papers were
being made out and disposed of pre
paratory to taking up another caBe
Mr. Rice started out to go back to
kls work, and upon passing through
the door to the iron inclosur'e in the
?ourt room looked back to speak to
his attorney, at which time Mr. W. D.
?gerton, who up until this time had
aot been known 111 the difficulty,
directly, made a break for Rice and
succeeded Inr landing several blows
?n the side of his head before he could
be stopped, which was done however
. before Mr. Rice really knew what
was happening. The Mayor ordered
the officer to bring Mr. Egerton be
fore the bar, where he imposed a fine
?f $20.00 for contempt of court. He
was also required to answer to a
eharge of assault on Mr. Rice and
apon request of his counsel the hear
ing was set for Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. Upon the request of
counsel for Mr. Egerton Mayor Turner
held his decision in the contempt
ease open until Saturday morning
also.
The next case was that agalnsti
Messrs. J. M. Hedgepeth and H. R.
Parrish for having more whiskey
than was allowed by law for the pur
poses of-sale:-< It- developed- ithat on
Saturday night officers J. C. Tucker,
B. H. Meadows, and Edwin Perry
through some source had received In
formation leading them to believe that
these two young men, who had .re
cently come to Loulsburg and rented
a store room from Mr. G. W. Ford,
under the old Ford warehouse on Nash
street; were running a blind tiger and
the officers in company with Mayor
Turner went down to make an investi
gation. After looking over the room
with no results one of the officers dis
covered a trap door through the floor
in the rear of the room and an ex
amination was made *n which 26
pints of whiskey and 48 bottles of beer
were found. This evidence convincing
the Mayor that there was probably
- eause of an existing blind tiger, he
bound the defendants over to. the next
term of Superior court In a bond of
$200 each which was glVen.
Jim King, colored, was before the
court for disorderly conduct, but his
trial was postponed till Saturday
morning.
The officers reported a raid on the
store of I. Spire, which located near
Ford's plainer on Saturday night, but
they found only five quarts of booze
and that was claimed by another
party.
Thus ended one of the most inter
esting sessions of the Mayor's court
in Loulsburg in some time.

Serious Accident Occurs Hear Tow??
- Fortunately No One Hurt.
Wednesday afternoon what came
near proving a fatal automobile ac
cident happened near thlB place.
Messrs. Weldon Egerton and Jim
Doughton left town early after dinner
for1 Warrenton to get Dr. Burt whose
services were required here by Mrs.
Egerton, Mr. Weldon Egerton'9
mother, who was very 111.
The car containing the two men and
Dr. and Mrs. Burt about a mile
from town when It struck a hole In
the road. The radius rod broke In two
and the steering gear became locked,
veering the car suddenly to one Bide.
One of the frolit wheels gave way un
der the strain. The car turned over
throwing occupants out and burying
them under It. Fortunately no one
was hurt sori'ously, although Mr.
Doughton'B side was bruised con
siderably.
Mr. Doughton phoned to the Louls
burg Machine Works for assistance.
Mr. Rodabush secured a new wheel
and drove one of his cars to the scene
of the accident. Messrs. Doughton

car and brought the parts back to'
town in about an hour and a half after

Powers Ask Japs to Take Foot Off of
China's Neck.
Peking, China, March 17.?Official
information reached Peking today that
the Russian and British ambassadors
at Tokio called upon Baron Takaaki
Kato, Japanese foreign minister, on
Saturday and informed him that if
Japan persisted In pressing upon
China demands beyond those con
tafned in her original communication
to the powers It would be difficult for
Japan's allies to negotiate diplomati
cally with her in the future.
It is understood that on the same
day, the United States, acting Inde
pendently, although possibly after con
su'.tatfon with another pb'wer, inform
ed the Japanese government that cer
tain of the Japanese demands were
not in keeping with treaty agreements
between China and the United States.
The opinion i'fs expressed by both
Chinese and foreign diplomats that
Japan will withdraw a substantial
proportion of her demands because of
the attitude of the powers who have
called China's attention to the fact
that she has no right to make a
treaty with Japan contravening exist
ing treaties with them.
The Japanese minister WChlna, Ekl
Hickl. sustained Injuries yesterday by
a fall from his horse and his condi
tion will prevent the holding of con
ferences for a tesr days.

MAKCH AJf UNHEALTHY HO!
Vitality Lowers mfd tli? DeaU
L_ Rises.
\ In late winter and earl/ s prise
vitality la at low ebb. The death rate
at this season, especially (or ttt
month of March, la decidedly hlgk.
It i's at this time tuberculosis aad
pneumonia claim the greatest number
of their victims and so do the diseases
of the nervous an<f circulatory system.
Old people find It harder to resist
disease now and look with dread to tke
season's approach. f
Why ?s this? Is it a mental, or a
physiclal condition? What is Its ef
fect ? Scientific investigation shows
that thfs depression which is both a
mental and a physical condition is a
matter of no little import on efficiency
and health. Profeasor Huntington et
Yale University has recently made a
carefully study of the effects of the
weather and Beasons on the earnings *
of 900 operatives, engaged in piece
work in the factories of Connecti
cut^ The results showed their earn
ings followed a regular seasonal curve
that their earnings were lowest la \
January, February and March, whea
they began to rise till June. In tke
hot weather they fell again bat
reached their highest point In Novem
ber. The same careful observation
was made of 1600 students at West
Point and Annapolis add the figures
showed the same thing, that the high
est points of efficiency were in the fan
and late spring and that the lowest
? points in hot weather and late winter.
The falling off of physical vitality
in late winter must necessarily affect
health and consequently the death
rate. Unfortunately it affecta the
patent medicine business no little.
In some states it furnishes quite a
boom to the corner drug stores where
spring tonics, elixirs and bracers are
continuously Fold'across the counter.
But nothing suffices in the meeting of
this point of stringency like a strong
bodily resistance. Perhaps Uje con- _
dition is poor from stayings-too much
in doors in heated rooms, with too
little fresh air and exercise during
wluit'r, or?perhaps from & special
strain from a season of hard work.
In such cases rest, sleep, ?ood food?'
opeu air and moderate exercise are
necessary to restore the body's vitali
ty and build up the ^resisting .power*
of the body. All exercises must be
avoided. Anything that saps vitali
ty makes a way for disease. Whoever
would avoid the rigors of this season
would do well to maintain a strong
body and a bright outlook on life.
SIXTY YEARS AGO.
The Allies, Mexico and Prohibition
Subjects of Newspaper Commeot
Then as Now.
The well-worn saying "history re
peats Itself," was never better illus
trated than when reading a copy of a
newspaper called "Graham's Daily
Mall," which fell into our hands tke
other day. The paper was dated at
Philadelphia. Pa.. April 21. 1856. Oae
might think a periodical of this date
would be .a "back number" in every
sense; and it may be surprising to
learn that many of its news para
graphs would not appear out of plaee
in a paper of to-day. while the subject
of its leading articles are just as muek
in the public mind now as then.
For instance the progress of tfce
European war, in which we read it
"the Allies," intrenchments, the pros
pects of peace, and the intimation that
Great Britain is a little too ambltloas
about "ruling the waves." Other sub
jects discussed are the situation 1q
Mexico, Prohfbitiori laws, "The Hor
rors of War," the need of more enliat
ments In the'unlted States Navy, and
"Submarine Explosions;" these last
were by means of an Improved diving
bell.
In the article on prohibition the
editor is confident that such a law
will be passed in Pennsylvania withlm
a year. He believes it the best pos
sible means of controlling the liquor
traffic, and considers it only a matter
