Miller, Uen'l Manager KALBFUS SCORES UNFAIR GAME LAWS HARRISBURG, July s.—The State game commission held its semi-annual meeting at its new office in tho new capitol today, for tho purpose of hear ing the semi-annual report of Secre tary Kalbfus and the transaction 'of routine business. There were present Preside at James H. Worden, Harris burg; secretary, Josoph Kalbfus, Har risburg; J. M. Phillips, Pittsburg; C. K Sober, Lowisburg; William Hoy ward Meyers, Williamaport; Dr. Charles B. Penrose, Philadelphia, and former State Treasurer Frank C. Harris, of Clearfield. A most encouraging condition of affairs regarding tho increase of game in the State was presented by Secre tary Kalbfus, which is mainly due to the enforcement of the laws and the great iuterest tho public is taking in game protection. The absence of forest fires has also tended to increase game, and Dr. Kalbfus commends the vigil ance of the authorities in this direc tion. Attention is called to the fact that the gumo laws in some respects are un fair, and their repeal is recommended. For iustauce a gunner in this State can only kill a certain uuiuber of migratory fowl, but in adjoining States to which they fly when leaving Pennsylvania the gunners can kill as many as they please. There is also a law in this State providing a fine of SSO for digging a rabbit out of its war ren, while the fine for shooting a rab bit is but $lO, aud Dr. Kalbfus wants to know wherein lies the ditTerouco. Again, the law imposes a fine of SSO for destroying a bird's nest on a troe, ami yet the owner of a home, if he finds robins or othor birds destroying his fruit or damaging his property can kill them indiscriminately, and there is no fine at all. Sceretary Kalbfus strongly recom mends that, a law be passed making it a penal offence for auy unnaturalized foreign born resident to own a gun or auy othor kind of firearms. In the last six months five officers of tho game commission, in hunting offenders against tho gauio laws, have been shot at aud wounded by foreigners,and one man was brutally murderod by Italians iu tho western part of the State, and his body thrown into the river.simply because he performed his duty and prosecuted foreign violators of the game laws. Tho gamo wardens, by tho way, are all doing good work, and have pros ecuted many offenders, tho fines from which goto the department. The department brought from Ala bama for propagating purposes, 3,547 quail.aud they are all said to be doing finely. A number died on the way here, but in bringing quail hero uoxt year Dr. Kalbfus will have them ship pod in a patent box which will admit of them gotting light, air, food aud water. Three sites foi game preserves have been selected, one in Clinton county, a secoud in Clearfield and a third in Franklin, all on forestry land owned by the State. Tho foreign quail have all been distributed throughout the State, aud are roportod to bo ex ceptionally hardy. A brood of about twenty sickly ones, tho poorest lot of the imported birds, wero placed oil an islaud iu the Juniata river iu Perry county, aud every one of them is liv ing aud hardy, aud tho brood lias in creased to twice the original size. It was impossible to get deer or wild turkoys for propagating purposes, but the commission is ou tho watch and ready to purchaso when opportunity offers. There are plenty of door in captivity, hut tho owners will not soil. There are no wild turkoys pur chaseablo anywhere. Dr. Kalbfus recommends that a law , be passed requiring all resident hunt ers to take out a licouso, as is done in other states, and iu this way make the department self-sustaining. Atjpros ent only unnaturalized foreigners are required to to take out a hunting "li cense. During the half year there wero col lected about SI,BOO iu fines, of whcli sfioo went to informers. Dr. Kalbfus says that he has informa tion to the effect that at a certain point in this State a flock of about 200 wild pigeons have been nesting for the past two years. Tho wild pigeon dis appeared from this continent over twenty years ago, and Dr. Kalbfus is of the opinion that they may be com ing back. If so, stringent laws will be passed for their protection. Two Coal Diggers. Two coal diggers belonging to North umberland parties are now employed daily, extracting coal near tho bend of the river. The coal diggers are at work near the southern shore tfud thoj each scoop up a boat load of fine coal every day. EVERYBODY TO GET FISH NOW In his semi-annual roport to the Fisheries Commisison which has been approvod by tho commission and has been sout to the Governor, Fish Comis sioner Median says that for tho first time in the history of the Department all of the applications for fish will be filled this year. Up to June 1, the ending of tho first half of the fiscal year of the department, tho out put by the department was 394,450,000 fish. This number is moro than 1,(XX),000 in excess of the output for the years of M>o3, 1904, 1905 combined, aud is only 000,000 loss than the output for the combined years of 1902, 1903, 1904 aud 1905. Of the enormous number of fish put out by tho department credit is given field work for 250,000,000. Tho fry wore gathered by moil sent to the lakes in VVayno and Piko counties, their efforts resulting in 250,000,000 youug fish ; the roport states that ninety-five per cent, of these would have diod in the natur al state. It is hoped to fill applications for black bass during tho coming months. The several hatcheries of the depart ment have produced 125,000 of this popular game fish aud (15,000 have been procured in the field; the field work is expected to produce produce at least 10,(XX) moro and it is hoped to have all of tho fry ready to ship be fore August 1. Applications havo boon made for fish in tho number named as follows: Trout, 5,000; pickerel, yellow perch, frogs, black bass and wall eyed pike. 500 oacli; catfish, 200. Frogs are treat ed as "fish" iu making up these sta tistics. The aggregate number of fish represented in those applications, in round numbers, is 400, (XK), 000. SHAD WORK ON THE DELAWARE The report states that the shad work in tho Delaware river during the spriug carried on by the Pennsylvania department in connection with tho Fodoral, Now York and New Jersov departments, was very successful. The Pennsylvania men gathered 3,130,(XK) shad spawn to bo hatched at Torres dalo. Noarly all of the fry will re main i!* tho Delaware. Now York and New Jersey is each to get a propor tionate sliaro of the fry but of tho amount credited to New York only 150,(XX) will be transferred to tho Hud sou river. Tho halanco of Now York's allotment will bo placod in tho Dela ware,as will the entire shares of Penn sylvania and New Jorsey. During the work among tho shad the Fishhawk, the Federal government's boat, gath ered 238, (HX) shad eggs. WHERE MOSQUITOES BREED. Mosquitoes are brooding by the mil lion in the old caual and in a very short time the town no doubt will be intested as badly as last summer, when mosquitoos proved a greater jiest than for many yoars past. This is only au other way in which tho abaudonod caual proves a nuisance to Danville. Somo of tho Pennsylvania towns that havo stagnant water nearby in order to prevent the brooding of mosquitoes employ petroleum, which is poured upon the surface of tho water. This of course would prove perfectly feasible in tho canal,if any ono could be found willing to foot the bill. The mosquito's bite is bad enough, out the insect is to bo droadod in oth er ways. It is now pretty well establ ished that tho mosquito is responsible for the spread of malaria as well as yellow fever. Perhaps the board of health will take the matter up with the borough couucil aud rocommeud the uso of petroleum in tho old canal; also that council will see its way clear to adopt the recommendation of the board of health aud do what it cau to eliminate the mosquito nuisance. SWIMMERS' PROTECTION. An example of the bravado and utter disregard for the law that is exhibited by certain of the juveniles of this community is shown by the rather unusual methods employed by a "gang" of boys to protect themselves from a watchman while swimming in forbidden waters. Tho ico pond on the Bennett estate possesses marked attractions for tho youths as a swimming pool, more so probably because the pastime is pro hibited at that spot. It is tho custom of Watchman John Kroiger to keop a sharp lookout about the pond to pro vent the boys from indulging their natatorial proclivities. A hard time ho has of it too, for their ways are divers and dubious aud difficult to cir cumveut. On Tuosday, however, tho climax was reached. Mr. Kroiger was inform ed that tho "gang" was in possession of the pond, and ho hastening to rout tho offenders,what was his surprise to hear tho sharp command to "Halt!" and to find himself facing tho busi ness ends of two daugorous looking guns, behind which wore two of tho boys who wore standing guard over tho pool to protect their comrades from tho depredations of tho enemy. Mr. Kroiger, naturally, was at a loss as to how to proceed, and think ing of no way to outwit tho lads, boat a dignified retreat. After tho first section had finished its bath,tho members manned the guns and did guard duty, while tho others had thoir swim. LOWIERY BROS' SHOWS COMING Lowory BrotJie " 1»U? shows aro com ing to Danvillo and will exhibit on tho furnace lot near tho Reading sta tion, Monday ami Tuesday, July 9 ami 10. Lowory Bros.' circus has beon seen in Danville before and has always given good satisfaction. This year tho circus has a number of interesting features which will bo new to Dan villo |>eople. Manager Lowory takes groat pride in the show this year and says ho considers it the best show he has ever carried. A free show is given at the grounds every afternoon and evening. CONGRESS FISHES EVENTFOL SESSION The first session of the fifty-ninth congress went into history Saturday. 1 It has boon a strenuous session from start to fiuish. The measure which caused tho greatest debate is the rail road rate bill. Begun with the session its consideration continued through, out. The pure food enactment and the moat inspection provision are also im portant changes in tho federal attitude towards both the producer and con sumer of tho country. A uniform and moro strict method of naturalizing aliens was onactod. The immunity of witnesses from prosecution who give testimony before government tribunals was made tho 1 subject of an enactment which clearly states when such immunity obtains aud when otherwise. A bill removing the internal revenue tax ou denatured alcohol \yas passed. LOCK-LEVEL CANAL SELECTED. Tho typo of tho Panama caual was fixed, thus sottliug a question which has perplexed both the professional and lay mind. The president is to build a lock-level canal, aud was giv- ' en a total of S39,(XX), 000 for the yoar for that purpo.se. It was required that the material for the canal should _bo of Aiuericau manufacture unless tho president shall find the prico excessive in which case he is given authority to buy abroad. Tin ojjuil.ir sorvicj was givou a completo new legal status which will permit of an outiro reorganization. , When tho appropriations for the ses sions are totaled it will bo found that j their aggregate has reached nearly | nine hundred million dollars. This is i a greater sum than has boon made available sinco the war congress of ' 1898. Of this amouut $25,000,000 will ' go into now public bu.ldings invar- ! ious section of tho country. Tho leg- I islatiou on appropriation bills has the > characteristic throughout of being re- j strictivo upon the goveruinout depart- I meut. heads in the matter of making ! thoir expenditures aud submitting their estimates to congress. It has been tho dosiro of congress to put an end,as far as possible to deficiency ap propriations. SET BACK FOR NAVAL INCREASE Tho naval increase which has beon going on annually, received somewhat I of a sot-back. Tho largest "battleship . afloat" was authorized, but congress ! required that before bids for its eou- ■ struction could he submitted,the plans must be sent to congress at its next session. The annual appropriation for the ' State militia was doubled and hero- I after $2,000,000 will bo spoilt from tho ] Fodoral treasury for the purpose of i keeping tho State military organiza- I tions in touch with the regular army. 1 Congress gavo vout to the draft of a bill intended to proservo the scenic I beauty of Niagara Falls, and the mea- j sure was passed. The tariff to be collected by tho j Philippine govommout on goods en tering the island trade, was revised. j A measure of importance to railroad and othor omplovos engaged in hazard ous omploymouts, known as tho em ployers' liability bill, became a law. The government will participate in tho Jamestown centennial exposition and $1,355.0(H) was authorized expend ed out of the federal treasury for that ovout. Speedy appropriation for the San Francisco sufferers resulted from re quests by the president. Two and a half million was donated directly and supplios from tho stores of tho govern ment nearly equal that amount. Privato pension legislation for tho benefit of the old soldiers wiio are un able to receive a pension under tho statute laws kept up its usual heavy pace. Installation of Officers. The installation of officers took place ou Monday night at Moutour castle, No. 18(1, Knights of tho Golden Eagle. The installing officer was F. M. Her rington, District Grand Chief,assistod by Grand Castle officers. The officers wore installed as follows: Past chief, Francis Hartman ; noble chief, Lafay ette Foust; vice chief, Bradley Mc- Lain; high priest, Charles Wagner; venerable hermit, Albort. Bookmiller; sir herald, .John Mitchell: ensign, Ja cob Miller; esquire, A. Stead; first guard, John Foulk; second guard, Edward Lunger; worthy chamberlain, David Haring; worthy bard, Dallas Hummer; trustee, Walter Gaskins. There was a large attendance. It was a most enjoyable occasion and the inspiring interest manifested was due to tho fact that a new cave was instal lod and fully demonstrated during the session which adds beauty and perfec tion to the newly equipped parapher nalia which has boon recently placed in service. The equipmont has shown a marked effect 011 tho welfare of tho castle. GUARD HUMAN LIVES. Some days ago an omployo of the locomotive shops of the Heading Hail way company, at Reading, was killed by the accidental fall of a stool hook from a traveling crane. His skull was fractured and his left arm torn off. The coroner's jury in its verdict sug gested that if any modern device wore in existence for more securely fasten ing said stool hooks it ought to bo ad opted. That jury did tho thing right. Human life is too precious a commod ity to permit this reckless waste. It is the supremo duty of corporations em ploying large bodies of men, as well as of private employers, to sparo no oxpenso in guarding the lives of work men. To Clean Straw hats. To cleau a white straw hat mix a thick solution of powdered sulphur and lemon juico, and apply it to the hat with a toothbrush, then rinse in clean, cold water and wipe with a dry cloth. This treatment will not only clean, but will also whiten sunburned straw. Dry in the shade, and if it be a sailor hat, let it remain on a table or board,so that the brim may dry flat. LITTLE COONS' QUEER STENTS The throe little racoons, which for a couple ot' weeks past have been aii at traction in the window of M. H. Schram's store, Mill street, havo been removed to DeWitt's Park whero they will remain the balance of the season. The little animals have been viewed by thousands of persons while at Mr. Schram's store. Frequently the side walk has been nearly blocked by peo ple, who were crowding around the window. The little animals seem to understand that a good deal is expect ed of them and they are just as amus ing as they can bo. Indeed, their an tics at times surpassed all bolief. They are natural little acrobats. To bring out their accomplishments Mr. Schram installed a small horizontal bar and a swing. The e.oons seemed to divine j the use of eacli and while 0110 mounted the bar the other took the swing and ! in a short time they were doing stunts | tiiat rivaled the performance of the most accomplished human actors. Ev ery day they add something to their accomplishments. They reached the climax on Thursday evening, how ever, when they learned how to turn out the gas. Suddenly Mr. Schram bo came aware that the front part of the store was in darkuess and upon in vestigating he found that one of the coons had managed to reacli the VVols bach burner aud turned out the ligkt. The burner was relighted, but it was only a few minutes until 0110 of the ! coons had climbed up the window aud turned off the gas for the second time. Of course the logical conclusion would bo that tho coons in their inquisitive and meddlesomo way unconsciously manipulated the thumb screw which turned off the gas without kuowing that thoro would be auy effect, al though mauy persons indulge the pleas ing fancy that the young coons knew j exactly what they were about and turned off the gas because at night they preferred darkness to artificial light. VICTORIA FALLS. Called "the Mont Beautiful Gem of the Enrth'n Hcenerf." j The Zambezi river, carrying a huge volume of water two miles in width, ns | it reaches the western borders of Rho | desia precipitates itself into a cavern- I oils gorge and thus traverses the north ern plains of the country. This great drop in the river has pro duced "tho most beautiful gem of the i earth's scenery," the Victoria fulls. Al i most twice as broad as Niagara and i two and a half times as high, an im | inense mass of water rolls over Its edge j to precipitate itself in magnificent I splendor 4UO sheer feet into the narrow I canyon below. i Undeterred, the Hhodesiau engineers, j without detracting from the natural i beauty of the surroundings, threw across the canyon a splendid 050 foot cnntnlever bridge and thus opened the j ; way to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to ! Cairo. ! This bridge, the greatest railway en gineering triumph of Africa, deserves I more than passing notice. It consists i of a central span weighing approxi mately 1.000 tons, 500 feet in length | and liO feet wide. The steel work is of | rolled steel weighing 100 pounds to the j cubic foot. The end in>sts of the bridge i are over 100 feet long. The pull on tho anchorage apparatus is about 400 tons. The contract for the construction was obtained by an English linn of bridge builders the contract time fifty-five weeks. The work of erection was car ried on from both banks, the material being taken a (.TOSS the river by means of an aerial electric railway. The elec trical conveyor of this o»iblo way was capable of dealing with a ten ton load at a lifting speed of twenty feet per minute and a traversing speed of 300 feet a minute. An initial difficulty in the construc tion of the bridge was the securing of a firm foundation, and owing to the crumbling nature of the bank a much greater quantity of concrete was neces sary than estimated. Tho construction was happily unat tended by accidents of a serious nature, though a few slight accidents to body work and the replacing from England of one piece of steel work were record ed. In spite of these delays tho bridge was linked up at 7 a. in.on April 1, 1005, or exactly forty-eight hours ear lier than had been estimated a year be fore. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Percy G Iron aid in Scrlbner's. A JOCULAR MONARCH. 1 van the Terrible Had Cold niooded NotlouM About Jetting. Ivan the Terrible forgot neither his devotions nor his diversions. Ills pal ace alternately resounded with praying and carousing. Tor ills pastime bears were brought from Novgorod. When from ills window he perceived a group of citizens collected he let slip two or three of these ferocious animals, and his delight on beholding the flight of the terrified creatures, and especially J on hearing the cries of the victims, was unbounded. His bursts of laughter i were loud and long continued. To I console those who were maimed for life he would sometimes send each of • them a small piece of gold. Another of his chief amusements was In tho company of jesters, whose duty i it was to divert him, especially before and after any executions, but they of ten paid dearly for an unseasonable i joke. Among thee none was more distin guished than Prince Qvosdef, who held /i high rank at court. The czar, being one day dissatisfied | with a Jest, poured over tho prince's j head the boiling contents of a soup basin. The agonized wretch prepared to retreat from the table, but the tyrant struck him with a knife, and he fell senseless to the floor. I)r. Arnolph was instantly called. "Save my good servant!" cried tho czar. "I have jested with him a little 100 hard." "So hard," replied the other, "that only Cod and your majesty can re store him to life. lie no longer breathes." Ivan expressed his contempt, called the deceased favorite a dog and con tinued his amusements. Another day, while he sat at table, the waywi.ilo of Starltza, Boris Titof, appeared, bowed to the ground and sa- ' luted him after tho customary manner. "God save thee, my dear waywode. Thou doscrvest a proof of my favor." lie seized a knife and cut off an ear. Titof thanked the czar for his gracious i favor and wished him a happy reign.— j Pearson's Weekly. 1 1 WIRE THIEF'S BAD FALL Wiro thieves havo made their ap poaranco ill this vicinity. Tho Dan ville anil Sutibiiry trolloy lino was the first attacked. Tho thief, however, failed to get any wire, but instead came vory near boing caught by fall ing into his owu trap. Tho affair took place a couple days ago and although instantly discovered by tho company nothing was said about the matter. Tho time was im proved by quietly working along sev eral lilies in tho hope of finding tho guilty purty, who according to indica tions was a novice, unaccustomed to cutting trolley wiro. Tho morning following tho visit of the thieves tho copper wire, about three-eighths of an inch thick, was found cut in two at a point about mid way between town and tho hospital for tho insane. It was plain that the thief had climbed tho pole aud obliv ious of what might occur wlion the tightly drawn coppor wiro was severed had crawled out aloug the iron arm that carriog the wire aud with a stout nippers or othor tool began work. A glauco sufficed to show what had oc curred. Whou the wiro snapped in two each portion rolievod of tho strain, under its weight,flow backward with torriflc forco. The arm to which the man was clinging was given a sudden jerk and oarriod around by one section of the wire. Naturally ho lost his hold aud was precipitated to tho roadway, and there iu tho mud was the impriut of his body whero ho fell. The height of tho fall was qnite sufficient to cause injury and that the man was more or less disabled would be inferred from tho fact that no further attempt was made to securo the wire. An examination of tho wire showed the nature of the instrument used iu cutting it. Mad none of the plans fail ed the thief would have secured a couplo of thousand feet of good copper wiro. CONQUERS RATTLESNAKE. A live rattlesnake proved au attrac tion to a large crowd of pooplo on Mill street Saturday night. The snake was threo feet long and was brought up from tho Ditzlor farm about two milos below Cainoron by Harvey Gard ner, who is employed at the saw mill on tho Dit/.ler tract. The snako was caught by a woman, Mr. Gardner's wife, who evidently does not share in the very common dread of snakes. Mrs. Gardner Saturday was at some distauco from her house when she en countered tho rattlosuakc. Seizing a club she entored into a combat with the serpent. With one well directed blow she quieted tho snake and it lay as if dead. Catching rattlesnakes, which are wanted fur skins, is some thing of an industry along tho moun tain. Stooping down Mrs. Gardner j picked up the apparently dead snake aud started toward tho bouse. Tho snako, however, was only stunned and before long it began to do some lively squirming. The woman, made a dash aud managed to fling the rattler into a cage prepared for snakes before it got into a position to do any harm. Tho cage was a plain box covered with a wire screen. As the rattler lav imprisoned Mr. Gardner's children crowded arouu land the serpent be camo very savage. In attempting to strike at tho children tho poisonous fangs of tho snako became entangled in the screen. At this juncture Mrs. Gardner again distinguished herself aud soi/.iug a small pincers,"by a clev or bit of dentistry, succeeded in ex tracting one of tho venomous fangs. 11l this condition the big rattler was brought to town Saturday night. It was still full of game and showed that it only wanted tho opportunity to in flict a mortal bito. It was taken back to the Ditzlor farm. Hillions for Improvements. The result of the proposod merger of all the independent tolephono lines in ouo gigantic combination, is waited with interest hero, as the cousuinnia ion of the deal now practically assur ed means the expenditure of several million dollars in improving the linos iu this section. Of this money the local lines will receive their share. Au official of the local lines said Sat urday that ho folt sure that the deal would go through aud that it would mean a vast improvement in telephone service bore especially in the long dis tauco lines. New long distance lines will likely bo put up and the local free radius lines thus relieved of long dis tance business. Iu addition to this, entire new equipment will bo made, with all the latest improvements in the lines. At present the repair force is handicapped as they havo to work with old-style apparatus, going as far | back as 181)2. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

A. 0 Tlio fans who remained away from De Witt's park Friday afternoon missed a battle royal between the Dan ville A. A. aud their worthy oppon ents the Cuban Giants. Hummer and McOlond wero in the points for tlio locals aud the balance of the team worked behind MeCloud with the reg ularity of grandfather's clock, pulling down the high onos and scooping up the low ones in a way that made the spectators sorry they bad not paid fifty cents instead of twenty-five to witness so fine an exhibition. Up to the ninth inning Hortz was the only ono man to reach the third comer and the bits up to this "poilit wore so few that it took a magnifying glass to locato them on the score sheet. Bradley and Abbott did tlio trick for the Giants ami did it to perfection. The locals had only one strike out while McOloud whiffed six of tlio vis itors. The final score was 1 to 0 in favor of the Giants, the winning run being made in the ninth inning. The six last games played with the Cubans the total nuiubor of runs made by the two teams was only 16. It is to bo re gretted that the attendance was so small. It is most lamentable that the at tendance at Friday's game was not larger. The small number of persons present, the base ball management states, is due to the fact that the grand stand, which was blown over in a re cent storm has not been roplaced and a groat many of the fans being averse to standing in the sun, wero absent from tlio game. For this reason the base ball man agement has cancelled all homo games and also declined an offer made Fri day to book the Cuban Giants for July 7th. The score : CUBAN GIANTS. K. H.D. A. E.

The Times of that city (ells how dur ing a recent extremely heavy rain a street which is very steep and was but recently paved at a cost of over |24, - 000, was badly damaged. For a consid erable distance "the fino new pave ment was bulged and rose up as though it were above a volcanic eruption ; the paving undulated and the brick in some parts left the street, and these with great bodies of earth and debris came down the street, tearing aud blockading it." It is a rather serious thing for the people of a city to sus tain such losses during heavy storms, and there ought to be some method of getting rid of the surface water ill some less harmful way. G.
