The bitter pills one swallows in life are sometimes the most helpful. Lay politics aside when you come to vote for candidates for council. The State railroads of Italy have a mileage of about 7.800 miles. The Grand Trunk Railroad of Can ada lias ordered ninety new locomo tivos.

Thieves in Johannesburg, South Africa now ride nbout on bicycles and snatch purser and haudbags from women and watches and pins from men. Report says that a smart Mexican judge recently sentenced a woman to a month's silence. That is a sentence that bears a striking resembalnce to some laws. It cannot be enforced. Cold Water, Mich., belied its name recently by voting against prohibition. ! But Boozy, Ya., evens up the score by prohibiting the saloon and all its j works. Thieves broke into the home of Rev. | A.

BISI The subject ou annexing to Danville adjacent territory on the south side of the river is being pretty warmly dis cussed by the residents of Riverside borough nud Gearhart township. While it is clear enough that there is a senti ment in favor of annexation it is also ! plain that there is a sentiment in op- J position to it. A leading resident of Riverside bor ! ougli is authority for tin statement : that an early move is contemplate | that will reveal the full strength of | the annnxionists nil the south side I Probably during the present week a | meetiug will be called. An organ iza i tion will be etiected, after which can vassers will bo sent out to see how ! many signers can bo obtained who I favor annexation. j The next step taken, should there suit prove encouraging, will be to df ! termiue the attitude of the borough j council of Danville in the premises, ft is not known how the people of | Danville stand in the matter, nor liow | t.he twelve men who legislate for the ! borough may vote when it comes to j considering the question of annexa j tion. Lest it occur that they be found j "reckoning without their host" the ! south siders will direct their inquiries I in this direction before proceeding very far in shaping things for annexa i tion. The oitizen of Riverside above quot | ed states that a large number of repre ! seutative people, both of Riverside and South Danville, have placed them -1 selves on record as favoring annexa ! tion. Several citizens of each place were interviewed and were found to ! be quite enthusiastic.Tliev apparently ! do not harbor the leas? doubt but that I they will bo receivert with open arms by the borough of EJanville. As one of the citizens expr used it, "Here is j the making of one of the finest wards of Danville; well built au:l comfoit able homes; building aud manufactur ing sites, cheap and the most desir able in the county; while if annexa tion become a reality wo will add a round thousand to Danville's popula tion." There are others on the south Bide less enthusiastic, who believe that tin borough of Danville would bulk at the proposition of carrying borough water over the river, while, as above stated others are found, who do not look with much favor on annexation. Nothing short of the contemplated canvass will BIIOW eaxctly how the people stand. JOHN A. BEAVER FORMER TOWNSMAN Our former townsman, John A.

FEBRUARY 6, 1908 iffllß FEB ISJIII The local registrar's report for Jan uary, reveals that typhoid fever is no louder ,i cause for alarm. During the month of January only four case.-. wore reported. Preceding reports allowed chat in one month as high as thirty cases were added to the list. During the mouth three oases of moaslos were reported and one case of diphtheria. No deaths ocourred from either of these diseases. Ou the whole tJie report as to infectious diseases is most encouraging,especially as relates to measles, which in neighboring towns have been prevalent to an un usual degree. The present season is one when diphtheria, diphtheretic croup and other juvenile diseases are likely to claim victims, but the al most total immunity from these dread ed ailments that the town and district seems to enjoy is a matter for self-con gratulation. The record shows only one case of pneumonia. In this case there was a fatal termination. The doctors, however, are not idle. Many persons are afflicted with grip in its different forms, to say uotli ii g of had colds, caused by the sudden changes of weather. During the month of January there were twenty-two deaths, six of which occurred at the hospital for the in sane. During the year en ling on Dec emher 31st, a total of 263 deaths oc curred iu the registration district. By this it will be seen that the number of deaths reported for January is quite within the limit, beiug no more than the monthly average for last year. The number of births for the year oloisng December 31st was 28(>. The births reported for December the last month, whose figures are available, were 22 iu number The monthly aver age during the year, it will he noted, are above the average i-umber of deaths. AllvS. i»A I LAt/\iN i \H) TO M Mrs. Janifs Bate-iju, whoso death occurred n alc SJ- rinel S.t ur • ■ morning, was consign; d to the grave in Fairviuw cemetery,tl is plai .Tues day nfternoo i Services were nell at the late resi deuce, at Mr Carmel, Tuesday fore noon,the Rev William Hansom past or of lie Presbyterian church,officiat ing, after which the funeral proceeded to this city, arriving here on the 2:21 Pennsylvania traiu. The body was accompanied by the immediate family only and the pastor of the deceased, liev. Mr. Ilausoin, who had charge of the services. At South Danville the funeral par'y was met by a number of our towns people together with Mrs. Dtniol Matthias,a sister-in-law of the deceas ed, and Frauk Stover, son-in-law of Mrs. Matthias, both of Scranton. All the children of the deceased were pre sent with the exception of one of the sons, .Tameb wI..J is located fifty miles beyond Seattle. He was apprised cf his mother's death by telegram, but the distance was too great to admit of his attending the funeral. The floral tributes were very fine. Many of these were from individual friends, while orhers represented dif ferent organizations of the Mt. Car mel Presbyterian church,of which the deceased was a devoted member. YOUNG LADIES GAVE FINE DANCE A number of the young ladies of Danville Monday eve proved them selves woll able to shoulder the resp onsibilities of Leap Year, when they carried to a most successful culmina tion a very delightful dance in the Elks' hall.

A large boiler exploded in the nail mill of Van Aleu & Jo at «: 15 o'clock and an the result soven well-known residents of the town aio dead, while six others are very seriously injured. THE DEAD. Willard Bnuse, wife and one child, age 33 yeais Edward Krobs, wife and three chil dren ; age 33 .'oars. Grant Reeder, wife aud four chil dren , age 38 years. Duval Olark, wife aud three chil dren ; age 53 years. Thomas Jones, widower,two grown up children; ago 05 years. Samuel Sarviss, wife and five chil dren ; age 55 years. John F. Scholvin, wife aud four children; a3O 54 years. THE INJURED. John Newbirry. William E. Graver, Harry Smitn, William G. Morgau, Daniel Sanders, Wesley Iteicheubacli, a stranger. The people of Northumberland are stunned by the suddenness aud the awfulness of the shock. The fame feeling and emotions were shared throughout this entire section Mon day as the news of the explosion, with the accompanying loss of life, was telephoned to neighboring towns Ev ery train that rolled into Northumber land during the day brought a crowd of visitors curious to see the scene of the necideut and measure the full x tent of the havoc wrouirlit.

"he explosion too:,; place at ji'ioot 6:15 a. iu. just asTTlo men w<?re get ting ready to draw the first heat. \\ itiiout a moment's warning the sec ond boiler from the eastern end of the mill on the south side exploded. There was a dreadful scene of havoc aud death. The explosion was accompani ed with the usual dull thud rather thau a deafening repoit. although the crash of falling timbers aud tumbling brickwork as a portion of the mill col lapsed, added much to the noise. A portiou—something more than uue-half —of the boiler was hurled by the force of the explosion some five hundred feet southward, landing at the rear of a row of houses. The other portiou was thrown in the opposite direction, sti'king a smoke stark,which it level ed to the ground, aud oomiug iu con tact with tiie forge house, a capacious brick structure in which is housed the "fifth wheel" department. A large gap was torn in the brickwork of this building.but the boiler rebounded and fell on the ground between the puddle mi 1 and the forge house. Tho wing of the mill lu which the ill-fated boil er was located was partially wrecked. The eastoru end for at least eighty feet is a mass of ruins made up of brickwork, roof timbers and fallen smoke stacks. Many of the meu were just coming into the mill for the day's work when the explosion occuired, otherwise tlie loss of life would have been gro il r. The men killed, all puddlers, how ever, were at their posts, H. V Jac ques, who has charge of tlia "fifth wheel" department, was just entering the works He was stunned for a mo ment but recoveriug was among the first to reach the puidlo mill. He gives a graphic description of tK scene. Many of the victims were p» □ tied fast or were iia'f buried under the debris. HARROWING SCENES In succession the following meu were dragged out of the ruins and identified: Duval Olark, Samuel Sar viss Tlion as Jones, Grant Reeder, Edward Kreps and William Brouse. They had all been killed instantly. Tin; steam and scalding water released by the explosiou along with the fall ing timbers ami brickwork had assist ed to til ing about speedy death. Duval Olark was in tho act of drawing his heat and was found lying below his furnace door with the poker in his hand. At each side of him lay the dehd and mangled boiky of a fellow workmau. Willard Bronte had been hurled some distance trom his furnace aud hi-; lifeless and half buried body wis found literally wrapped around a cinder cart John Soliolviu, who was injured in ternally, was removed to the Mary M Packer hospital where lie died during the forenoon.
