Local Barbers Must Register.

   The operations of the state board of barber examiners, created by the law passed by the last legislature, with a view of preventing the spread of infectious and contagious skin disease by unsanitary practices of barbers, have now reached out to take in the barbers of this vicinity.

   We are requested to announce in behalf of the state board of barbers examiners, to all barbers who have failed to register according to chapter 652 of the laws of 1903, regulating the practice of barbering in this state, that they are required by law to register at once. The examiners give notice that they will proceed now within a short time to prosecute under the law those who fail to register as the law requires, for practicing barbering without a license

   A fine of not less than $10 or imprisonment in a county jail for thirty days, or both, is the penalty provided by the law for practicing barbering without a license. Any barber who wants information concerning the law can get it of the state board, by writing the secretary, George W. Adelman, 71 State-st., Albany, enclosing stamp for reply.

FOUND DEAD IN BARN

Ward Grady Fell Down Stairs After Feeding the Horse.

   The body of a man, which proved to be that of Ward Grady, was found by Jane Reilly at the foot of a pair of stairs in the barn on her premises 1 1/2 miles west of Cortland this morning at about 10 o'clock. The body was lying on its back at the foot of the stairs with the head between the spokes of a buggy wheel. The face was covered with blood and the appearances seemed to indicate that he had fallen down stairs.

   Miss Reilly when interviewed said that the man came there yesterday asking for work and that as she had work that needed to be done, she engaged him. The last she saw of him alive was at about 8 o'clock this morning when he went to the barn to feed the horse and complete the chores.

   She went to the barn on an errand soon after 10 o'clock and was surprised to find the body of a man lying at the foot of the stairs and to her astonishment it was that of the man she had engaged the day before.

   She immediately went to the home of a neighbor and telephoned for Undertaker R. H. Beard and also endeavored to find a coroner. Being unable to do so she notified District Attorney Dowd, who in turn notified Chief Barnes and Deputy Sheriff John Miller who immediately went out there finding the body in the position described. The body was removed to Beard's undertaking rooms and Coroner Parsons of Marathon notified.

   Grady was about 38 years old.

MEETING OF DRUGGISTS

Of Three Counties Beside the Waters of Little York Lake.

   The meeting of the Tri-County Pharmaceutical Association, including Cayuga, Tompkins and Cortland counties, was held at Little York yesterday. Cortland, acting as host, met their fellow druggists at the station and, after friendly greetings, conducted them to the York Hotel, where carriages were in waiting to conduct them to the hospitable Hotel De Raymond on the shores of Little York lake.

   After a bountiful dinner had been disposed of,  the druggists congregated at the water's edge under the shade of the willows where the visiting druggists were welcomed in well turned words by B. C. Quick who spoke on behalf of the Cortland druggists. Voicing the sentiments of the assembled medicine men he asked D. W. Burdick of Ithaca to act as chairman. Mr. Burdick called upon A. H. Hamilton of Auburn, J. B. Todd of Ithaca and Dr. H. D. Hunt of Preble for remarks and all responded in a most felicitous style.

   I. E. Nichols of Cortland was the poet of the occasion and read an original poem which so largely concerned the druggists present that it decidedly brought down the house. A copy of the manuscript has been secured and it will be published soon for the edification of their friends who are anxious to learn all possible about the members of this association.

   After a pleasant afternoon beside the lake, as well as in many cases on the lake, the meeting adjourned, having accepted the invitation of Ithaca for the next place of meeting.

   Those present were D. W. Burdick, Fred Blackmer, J. T. Egbert, A. B. Brooks, J. G. Brooks and J. B. Todd of Ithaca; F. D. Lewis, M. D. Culver, A. H. Hamilton, Edw. McGovern, W. G. Odell, A. L. Smith and W. H. Signor of Auburn; J. W. Carr, Freeville; Charles Rhodes, Groton: C. A. Watson, Homer; H. D. Hunt, Preble; J. C. Wiegand, Truxton; and G. W. Bradford, Fred I. Graham, C. F. Brown, B. C. Quick,  A. F. Sager, Geo. I. Watson and W. H. McGraw of Cortland.

SEVERED ARTERY.

Much Blood Lost but Wound Will Not Prove Serious.

   While engaged in handling some pig iron at the Wickwire mills at about 11 o'clock this morning one of the employees, Frank Natoli, an Italian, was injured by the falling of one of the heavy iron bars. The bar struck him in the lower right arm, making quite a gash and severing an artery. The wound, which was a painful one, bled profusely and Natoli fainted. Beard's ambulance was summoned and the injured man was removed to his home at the corner of Clinton-ave. and Pendleton-st. He was attended by Dr. Reese, who dressed the wound.
