ONION THANKS GIVING SERVICE Th« Onion Thanksgiving service will be beld in the Mahoning Presby letian oharoh and the sermon wilt be prMOhed by Rev. W. O. MoOormaok, D. D.. pastor of Grove Presbyterian oharoh. Thli,it is troe.does not aooord with tbe announcement made by the Dan ville Ministerial Association a month •go, which stated that the servioes would be h6ld in the Grove Presbyter* ian oharoh and that the K -v. J. E. Hatohison, pastor of Mahoning Pres byterian oharoh, woald preach the ser mon. At the meeting of the minister ial Sooiety yesterday the plans were ohanged as stated in the opening para graph. Rev. Hatoiiison, it appears, was not present when he was seleoted to preach flie Thanksgiving sermon. He has ■inoe discovered that owing to the pressure of engagements it will be im possible for him to acoept the honor and he has deoiined. The preaching of the Union Thanksgiving sermon, therefore,devolves npon Rev. Dr. Mo- Oormaok, who was choeeu as alter nate when Rev. J. K. Hatoiiison was ■elected to prraoh. As i* caßtomary the oharoh seleoted for the Thanksgiv ing service lies on the opposite side of town from where the pastor who is to praeoh resides. The Hahoumg Presbyterian choroh is a One oommodioas edifioe and will aooomuiodate a large congregation, snoh as will probably assemble to hear the Thanksgiving sermon. The entire program for the service is in the handß of Rev. J. E. Hutchison, the pastor. The olergy are desirous that the Thanksgiving offering, which will of course represent all the ohuches, this year be something quite handsome, in keeping with the general prosperity of the times. It will be tnrned over to the Woman's Benevolent Associa tion of Danville, who will make judi oious use of it in aiding the worthy poor. The following officers yesterday were eleoted by the Ministerial Association for the ensuing year: President, M. L. Shiudel; Vice President, Rev. W. O. MoOorinaok, D. D. ; Seoretary.Rev. John Sherman ; Treasurer, Rev. S. B. Evans. Danville Wins Fast Game. The Montour Basket Ball Associa tion five was pitted against a strong aggregation—the Mt. Oarmel team—at the Armory Tnesday, and "a fast and fnrioas game was the result. The Dan ville boys, however, were too clever at tossing for the visitors, and won out by a score of 38 to 14. The teams were veiy evenly match ed in everything bot basket throwing ability.and in this the looals were far in tbe lead. Welliver with 7 baskets and Russell with 5, led the field, toss ing them from seemingly impossible positions. The Mt. Carmel five ex hibited some very clever team work, their qaiok passing being especially notioeable. Thev played a hard aud olever, although losing game. A great deal of unnecessary rough ness pervaded the game, thirteen fouls being oalled during the oontest. Both ■ides were the offenders. Jaok Knoblaugh, the Mt. Oarmel oenter. outshone the rest of the visit ing team both in his fast offensive and defensive work, and in his basket throwing. For Dmville, Frank Rus ■ell at guard did the best all around playing, not only preventing his op ponent forward from sooring,but mak ing five tallies himself. The line op: Danville. Mt. Oarmel.

Olarenoe Heller, of Berwick,return ed Tuesday evening from a hunting trip in the neighborhood of Keating, Pa, He had a ninety pound doe to exhibit aa the result of his prowess. A most remarkable incident was figured in by the party of whioh he was a member. One of the number, William Moore, of Keating, while standing on a fallen tree, the trunk of whioh was suppoited several feet from the ground by brandies, saw a deer in the brash. The other members of the party saw him raise his gun to aim, bat thonglit he was joking. At that monent he lost bis balanoe and fell from tbe elevated tree trunk. Midway to the ground the gan was discharg ed. Pioking himself ap, Moore insisted th»t he had shot a deer, and while no one believed him, a short search was made with no resalts. His companions then weut on, bat Moore refused to leave the looality, and oontinued to searoh, and that he «ai oorreot in his position was soon demonstrated,as a fine 150 pound buck wa« fonnd in the bushes, dead from Moor»'s ballet.

GRANGE BAMS MAYJE STARTED John Q. UoHenry, of Benton, well known throughout this seotion of the state, is prominently identified with a movement that promises great interest and importance to members of the Orange. The projeot—whioh develop ed at Saturday's meeting; of the Na tional Orange at Atlantic Oity—is that of the establishment of a Orange national bauk in every county in Penn sylvania, with farmers as its prinoipal stockholders. A press dispatch from Atlantio Oity says the idea comes in the form of a oarefnlly prepared report by W. F. Hill,master of the Pennsylvania State Orange. With John O. MoHenry, of Benton, presiient of tbe Oolombla Oounty National bank, as the prinoip al backer, and with members of Po mona Orauge of Tioga oounty,as stock holder! aud directors.the idea will be put into praotical shape within a few weeks by the organization of the Orange National bank, of Tioga, in the borougli of Tioga. The oapitaliaa tiou of this first bans has been fifed at (26,000. Of this amount, $6,000 w«a subscribed by residents of the borough and by farmers who live near it. Its organization will be followed withta a few months by the fonndation of fif teen other grange national banks in as many counties. Witiiin two years, it is planned to have one grange nation al bank in each of the forty-five coun ties of Pennsylvania in whioh the grange has a pomona, as the central oounty grange is called. All of these banks will feed and be fed by the Orange National bank of Pennsylvania, whioh will be estab lished in Philadelphia. Organization of this oentral institution will be per fected after abont a dozen of the small er banks have been established. "It will give to the farmers the ase of money to finanoe their own im provements, sooh ss rural telephones," said Mr. Hill in urging the idea. "It will make the individual faruer more prosperous, and will do wonders to ward advanoing the welfare of com munities. Of oourse, there mast be wise and conservative administration of all the affairs of these banks. They will be independent of eaoh other, bat eaoh will have several men apon the board of trustees, who will also be trustees of the other grange banks. This will assure a uniformly and con servatism of aotion through all. The amount of oapital in each will depend upon the financial resources of the dis trict. Oapital outside of the grange will be accepted. So oertain of suc oess are we that Mr. MoHenry has offered to make a written guarantee to the stockholders of the Grange Na tional bank of Tioga, that he will buy the stock of any holder who wishes to sell two years after its foundation, at a snbstantial increase upon the origin al investment." Shot Big Buck. The town of Orangeville yesterday about noon witnessed a most speotacu lar soene—the entire population was thrown into the wildest exoitement, and running breathlessly about the streets : all because a back weighing over two hundred pounds had been shot on the outskirts of the village. While Perry Montgomery was hunt ing for pheasants on Knob mountain, three-quarters of a mile from town.he discovered an immense bnok. Having nothing but bird shot, he did not dis turb the auimal, but returned to town for a rifle. Returning to the moan tain, he fortunately found the auimal grazing not far from where it was first seen. Montgomery got a good shot and dropped the auimal in its tracks. He then came to Orangeville, pro cured a team of horses aud wagon, iu which the caroass was brought to the village. When weighed it tipped the scales at 205 pounds. Old huuters who saw the buok deolar ed it was the finest speoimen they had ever seen. Three prongs on its antlers indicated its age to be three years. Not long ago a party of hunters on North Mountain disturbed a herd of deer and as none of these animals had ever been seen before near Orange ville,this one is thought to have wan dered there from the North Mountain. Dr. Curry Injures Foot. Dr. £. A. Ourry is suffering from the effects of a painful wound on his foot sustained yesterday afternoon in a very odd manner. The physialau had stepped into the rear of Hunt's drug store and was standing by the stove. S >me one at tempted to open the stove door, when the latter fell off the hinges and drop ping to the floor struck the top of Dr. Curry's foot. The sharp oorner of the iron door pii-.roed the leather and the stookiog right on top of the joiut of the great toe, producing a very pain ful wound. He is just recovering from the ef fects of a bad oarbnnole on his right hand, so that with the sore foot added he finds it inconvenient to move about although he still manages to look af ter his patients. Surprise Party. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Foust entertain ed a large number of yoang people at their home on Front street last even ing in houor of their daughter. Miss Edith Foast's birthday.

FAYETTE FARIER'S 200JILE TRAMP Because bis neighbors are ohoppiug down timber on a rooky tract of ISO acres near Uniontown,Fayette county, whioh he claims as his property, David Enfield arrived in Harrisburg Friday after having traveled on foot the en tire distance of about 200 milea from his home, to lake steps at the Depart ment of Internal Affairs to make his title clear. Enfield is a sturdy farmer of 60 years. The land he claims constitntes the whole of his worldly wealth. The tract is rough aud only good as tim ber laud aud his means are so limited that he oonld not afford to pay car fare. When lie told hiß story to the Bar prised olerks of the Department of In ternal Affairs he attaohed little im portance to his remarkable feat of pedeatrianism, but prooeeded to ex plain his case to Depnty Secretary Theodore B. Kline. Baok in 1882 Enfield seoured a war rant to the tract, but beoause of the etpensg of having the surveys made, lie never took out a patent, whioh lie now desires. The necessary steps to procure patent were explained to him by Mr. Kline. Eufield waa in the beßt of health af ter his long walk daring whioh he passed through eight counties, having gone out of the straight line to see A. K MjOarthy, in Huntingdon. Mc- Carthy and Eufield had jointly taken out the warrant to the land in 'B2,and it WHB necessary for Enfield to get Mc- Carthy to release his portion of tbe claim. He readily agreed to do ao. After reaohing Harrisbnrg Enfield removed all the signs of travel from hia raiment before oalling at the de partment. When lie arrived there his appearanoe was thai of a roughly clad farmer. He wore a oap and dark suit of olotlies, but the most remarkable portion of liis apparel were his bhoes, the soles of whioh are an iifoli thiok. Wheu one of the clerks iuvited En field out to diuuer, thinking his oir oumstances were auoli tliac he oould not afford a square meal Eufield oonr teoußly deoiined, saying he had just had a hearty lnnoheon. Enfield is a Prohibitionist to tlie oore and while in Harrißburg called on Dr. Silas 0. Swallow, from whom he sought advioe how to prooeed in case lie failed to Fecuie the patent on his land. Dr. Swallow diieoted him to an attorney, but inquiry at the lat ter office brouligt out ilia fact that En field had not called. Eufield said that he would not walk all of the way back home. He had enough mouey to hny a ticket to Johnstown, from whi re lie proposes to cut baok through the mountains, finishing the trip afoot. Bath Too riuch for Hobo. The superstition of the hobo in re gard to washing being fatal has been proved true. Frank Torey, a profes sional tramp aud probably the dirtiest one that has ever been gathered iu by the officers,died in the Harrisburg jail eo.ne time during Saturday night after having been introduced, to his first bath in years. Torey was given lodging on Thurs day night and after having been turn ed free on Friday morning wandered about the city until arrested by the police on a charge of vagrauoy. He wa* given a hearing and also five days. Au effort was made at the hearing to discover his nationality and his former home, bat all that oould be discovered was that he wanted to reaoh Allentown. He wbb taken to the county jail after the hearing, but it was too late to administer soap and water aud the job was delayed nntil Saturday. One of the negro prisoners was instructed on Saturday morning to olean the hobo and so notified Torey of his instructionintro.luoe him to water. The hobo did not objeot and after a good scrubbing it was possible to tell the oolor of the prisoner. He was then allowed to return to his cell aud at onoe sought his cot. It was not long before he was slumber ing peacefully with apparently no ill effeots from his bath. Sunday morn ing when the keeper made his usual rounds he discovered Torey lying iu his oot as if asleep,but upon investiga tion he found the tramp had expired. The authorities at Allentown have been communicated with in hopes of finding some relatives of the dead man. Longenberger—Fox. Jesse M. Lougeuberger.of Suubury, formerly of Danville, and Miss Bessie E. Fox, of Sunbury, were married Sat urday evening at the home of the groom's brother, William Longenber ger, Ferry street. Rev. L. D. Ulrioh, pastor of Trinity Lutheran churoh, performed the ceremony. The young couple will reside inSanbury. For Breakfast Luncheon or Tea A few sma4l biscuits easily made with Royal Baking Powder. Make them small —as small round as a napkin ring. Mix and bake just before the meal. Serve hot. Nothing better for q light dessert tnan these little hot biscuits with butter and honey, marmalade or jam. You must use Royal Baking Powder to get them.right. MOVM. BARINO NWM 00„ NEW TOMC PENNSY TO HAVE DOODLE TRACK That the Suobnrr, Hazleton & Wil kes-Barre division of the Pennsylvan ia railroad will in the near future-be entirely double track is not doubted for a moment by anyone who follows the improvements being made on that line. What is known as the Permissive Black System is now being installed. This Bystem. in wbioh the entire line is divided np into small sections or blooks, will allow two or three trains on the same block at onoe; but is so regulated that when a single passen ger train occupies the blook no other train oan enter thereon until the pas senger leaves. As will at onoe be seen, this syßtem greatly inoreases the trafllo facilities of the road, while at the same time affording the great est protection to travelers. Another feature of the system is that when more than Que freight train oaoupies a single block, the en gineer of each train knows the exaot location of eaoh of the other trains. The S. H. & W. division extends from Wilkes-Barre to Sanbury, and tbat the new blook system may be worked most advantageously a double track is required. Along this divis ion there M now a series of sidings and to conneot [these, thus making a double traok, would not be a great un dertaking. One siding now extends from Wilkes-Barre almost to Retreat, known as Honeypot siding. More of these sidings are being continually ad ded and in a few yearß the series will be oomplete. No Scarcity ol Turkeys. One thing to bd thankful for is the probability that turkeys will be cheap er at the approaohing Thanksgiving and Christmas than they were last year. Reports from different parts of the oountry represent these estimable fowls as being reasonably numerous, with the prosptoc of their prioe being within reason. The season appears to have been favorable for their pro pagation aud rearing. But like all good things it was not entirely per fuet. The bugs aud grasshoppers were so uumeroos, and kept up their activity in the fields to so late a period in the season, that the tnrkeys almost ran their legs off chasing them, an ex eroise that developed their mnsoles at the expeuse of that teuderness and juioiness which is the delight of epi cures when the bird is in the right condition. But whether tongh or ten der it is a relief to know that turkeys will be more plentiful than last year, with a corresponding moderation of the price. A ye »r ago thev roosted high at Thanksgiving and at Christ man took a still higher limb. Annual Seed Distribution. The annual distribntion of the veg etable aud flower seeds by the Depart ment of Agrioultnre begins on Decem ber Ist aud before planting time it is expected the entire amouut aggregat ing 38,000,000 packages will be in the hands of the people iu all Beotions of the oountry. Oougress for the past several years hns appropriated $290,000 for this pur pose bnt a portion of the amount is used for foreign experiment work and other kiudred matters. The bulk of the 38,000,000 packages is subjeot to the order of senators and representa tives for distiibution among their constituents, the secretary of agrioul tnre reserving one-fifth of the entire amount to supply the statistical orops correspondents, the Weather Bureau and for other purposes. Foot Ball Saturday. The Bloomsburg High Sohool foot ball team will play the third game of the Danville-Bloonißbnrg series with the High School at DeWitt's Park, Sa turday afternoon. The two teams are very evenly matoh ed this year as is shown by the soores liu the two pievious game*. Blooms burg defeated Danville at DeWitt's I Park by the score of 6to 0, aud were tied at Blocmsburg.neither team scor ing. The game on Saturday promises to be holly ooutested, as the Danville hoys are determined to win the cham pionship of the two towns. i*tr. Laumaster at Milton. The Milton Standard speaks in the following high terms of oar townsman William D. Laumaster: "The services held by Evangelist W. D. Laumaster, under the auspioes of the looal Young Men's Christian Association,have been exceedingly in teresting and helpful. Yesterday Mr. Laumaster spoke effectively in Christ's Lutheran church in the morning aud at the United Evangelical ohurch in the evening. A fine andieuce of men made Ihe Association hall ring with their siugiug yesterday afternoon and the address was plain, praotioal and powerful." PANIC CAOSED JYIAD HAN Clarence Staart, son of Fleming Stnart, who resides in Franklin town ship, Colombia county, about a mile from Roaring Creek, was brought to this oity Sunday afternoon and placed in the Danville Hospital for the Insane,the nnfortnnate young man having developed a case of lunacy with a decidedly violeut and morose trend. As in many crt these sad oases a tfi'rl stands well in the foreground of the tragedy. Young Stuart became en amored of a girl who lived near him, but the niatoh being discouraged she left that vioinity and the young man, brooding over her absence lost his reason. His insanity, which ottme up on him about ten days ago,took a most violent form with sometimes a period of morose quiet. While io this state he proaured fire arms, and kept not ooly his own fam ily bat the entfte neighborhood io a state of panio with his threats to shoot anyone who came near him. It was with great difficulty that the attending physicians Drs. J. M.and Oeorge H. Vastine.of OatSwissa could examine him. They did so, however, and on Priday issued committment papers to the Hospital at this place. Sunday Dr. J. M. Vastine and an assistant went to Stuart's and by a ruse succeeded in subduing the mad man and placiug haud cuffs upon liis wrists. He was taken to the Hospital Sunday evening. MINOR MATTERS OF INTEREST M. H. Soliram and Johnny Mover in treading over Montonr Ridge in searoh of game have run across the "Hanteis' Spring," some four miles below town whioh has revived a flood of memories in the minds of old-time uimrods The old spring, which has been nearly for gotten during recent years, lies about 150 yards below the "Devil's Feather bed" and is olosely associated with that natural curiosity. Few persons ever olimbed to the top of the moun t-.'n to view the gigantio oouoli of rook on whioh his Satanio Majesty ac cording to tradition at night stretohes his limbs without quenching their thirst at the "Hunters' Spring" near by. The spring is one of large dimen sions,the water ot which even in sum mer is cool and refreshing and of the clear and orystal sort associated with a brook on the mountain side. It takes its name from a time-honored custom tnat obtained among the hunt ing fraternity of Danville ana vioin ity. from the eaily days of the settle ment. For many, many years each autumn on the Saturday following the election there was an annual'hunt, in whioh everybody of any importanoe in the county skilled in the use of the gun participated. The day wound up with a great gamediuuerat the spring near the "Devil's Featherbed." On the morning of the day scores of gunners would assemble at different points and start out to hunt over Mon tour Ridge and possibly over the farm land lying at its base. While theße were bagging pheasants,squirrel»,quail &0., whioh in those days were mnoli more plentiful than now,others of the party were busy building a hnge Urn, installing a capaoions gridiron beside the spring and otherwise getting things in readiness for the preparation of a feast. About 2 o'olock the hunters began to come iu—all loaded down with game. It is reualled that on one oc casion there were seventy-five squir rels on hand with pheasants, rabbits, quail, &0., iu proportion. With the abundauoe of help on hand the game was soon prepared for oooking. Charles Shoals, whose memory still lingers with us,was for many yearn head cook on the occasion aud naturally the feast evolved was a royal oue. The soeue in the deep wood around the blazing tire—the sound of the careless, the merry voices that eolioed along the mountain side as the short autumn day drew to a close still linger in the memory of a few old timers, but to the rest of us of another day and a genera tion it is a story that has uever been told. Among prominent Danville people who always participated inllieaunual hunt were the following: John Deen, Jaoob Oornelisou, John Rnss, William Henrie, James Ephlin, John Miles, Myers Perrin. Fred Blue. The Bill mevers.the Blues.the MoCraokens and other prominent families of the rural sections were also always represented at the huut. Surprise Party. The home of Mr. aud lira. Charles A.

The Judge had been uuoonsci ous ever since Monday night when the disease showed that the end, was near. Siuoe that time lie was appar ently sleeping and in that condition lie passed away without pain. AN ADDRESS ON IACEDONIA S. J. Shoomkoff, B. D., Ph. D., the Maoedouian, who addressed the men's meeting at the V. U. O. A. Sunday afternoon in behalf of his couutrymen, is a foroible speaker and as he relate! the cruelties imposed upou his coun trymen by the barbarous Tnrks it thrilled his hearers. The speaker described in detail the murder of his mother who was behead ed in his presence, as well as two brothers, who were also beheaded; himself only being spared the same fate, by virtue of his being a regular ly naturalized Amarioan oitizen, wbioh fact he announced, and defied the murderous mob. Prior to this massacre whloh occur red eighteen months ago, Ur. Shoom koff had spent eight years iu this coun try proouring an eduoation,and daring that time beoame a oitizen of the United States. He is well fitted for the work he has taken op and, in his strong plea for help, made a deolded impression on his hearers. In closing he rendered two verses of the nation al hymn of Macedonia, and the dos ing hymn used in his native conntry. WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT? On the subjeot of Orange Banks, concerning whioh an article appears on another page, there is muoh to eay botli pro and oon, bat jast how much good oan be derived from aaob institutions is jet to be learned by ex perience. In this line W. I. Hastings, one of the most conservative experi enced and progressive newspaper edit ors of the State, has the following to say iu Ills Milton Standard of Toes day: John G. McHeury, of Benton, well known in this oonnty, and a probable □etnooratio candidate for Congress next year, is one of the promoters of a system of grange national banks, which are to be established in the var ioas oonnties of the state where the grange has a strong membership. It will take a trial to develop whether the plan will be praotioal. Master Hill, of the State Grauge. advances the theory that it will "make the in dividaal farmer far more prosperons and will give them the use of money to finance their own improvements, snch as rural telephones, etc." This soonds all right on paper, bat how maoh more will the farmer control his money that is deposited in the Grange bank than in any other institution? Besides banking is a business just as farming or lnmbering or making iron or anything else, and requires a speci al training and experience to ensure a reasonable degree of sacoesß. The writer recalls a period probably thirty five years ago when the Grangers started their own stores. Hundreds and thousands of retail stores were es tablished over the oouncry, and were managed as a rule by presumably con servative men with praotioal business ideas. Ninety-five per oent, of them were failures, and entailed a loss, in some instanoes, quite serious upon those who promoted them. The bank ing soheme may be all right, but to our mind, what the farmer needs most is some legislation in his Interest. This he oan get whenever lie makes up his mind that lie's going to have it. Must Have More Air Brake Cars. The Interstate Oommeroe Commis sion, at Washington, on Thursday an nounced its deoision iu the matter of the minimum peroentage of oars in trains required to be operated with power or train brakes. The deoision states that increasing the percentage of air brakes in trains from 50 to 75 per oent. would result iu au earlier operation of trains folly equipped with air brakes and accelerate the removal from servioe of the old small oapaolty and comparatively useless oars now not equipped with that appliance. It is ordered that the minimum percent age of airbraked oars iu trains used in interstate oommerce shall stand in creased to 75 per cent, on and after August 1, 1906. The number of freight oars in the servioe of the railway oom panies, as reported to the Commission on Ootober Ist, was 1,790,118,0f whioh 1,564,396 were equipped with train brakej. New Money Order Adopted. The post office department at Wash ington, has adopted a new and im proved form of money order, whirh will be sent to the different post offi oes throughout the ooontry as soon as the present supply of the old orders is exhausted. This Alls a long felt waut of the postal department and will olieok all farther raising and forging of money orders by crooked people. Special in terest Is attached to the new form and that is in the faot that it oanuot be raised more than fi.y9.and that wonld be a difficult matter for even the most expert forger to prrfoim. The pOBt office at Danville has enough of the old orders on hand to last for several months, and the new ones will, therefore, not make their appearance an til this supply has been nsed.
