Montour American FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Jan. 6, 1910. HUSBAND ILL WIFE DEAD Mrs. S. B. Flick, a widely known and esteemed resident of West Hem lock township, died at the homestead farm near Swenoda at 3 o'clock yes terday morning after a ten days' ill ness. S. B. Flick, the husband, is ly ing very seriously ill with but slight hopes of recovery. Mrs. Flick was a native of Luzerne county, but spent the greater part of her life in this county. For fifty-four years she resided practically on the same spot where she died. She was aged 73 years, 'J months and 10 days. She was a member of the Presbyterian church at Swenoda and was a consist ent Christian. Besides her husband the deceased is survived by five sons—Cyrus,of Allen wood; Charles, of Hazletou; William, of Berwick; Gabriel, of Riverside and David of Watsontown—also six daugh ters: Mrs. Martha Miller, of Huglies ville; Mrs. Mary Guffy, Mrs. Ella Snyder, of Berwick; Mrs. llattie Sturdevant. of Williamsport; Mrs. Sarah Kitchen, of Eyersgrove; and Miss Carrie, who lives at home The funeral will bo held on Satur day, meeting at the house at Ip. m. Interment will bo made in the ceme tery at Swenoda. S. 15. Flick, husband of the deceas ed. was taken ill last Monday a week ago. about the time that bis wife took her bed. Yesterday symptoms of pneu monia developed,which in view of his advanced age—seventy-five years lends a serious aspect to the case. Mrs. Flick along with her husband was well known in Danville. I 1 or over a generation in a business and a social way the couple mingled with the residents of town. The news of Mrs. Flick's death will cause deep regret, while all will unite in the hope that the stricken husband may recover. THE SNOW STORM The heavy snow storm announced Tuesday, which, it was predicted, would have serious effect 011 traffic and railroad conditions came along yesterday 011 schedule time. The weather conditions were unique, although no great depth of snow fell duiing the day. It began to snow about eight o'clock in the morning and continued until dark. The snow was fine as powder and accumulated so slowly that by evening there was less than an inch 011 the ground. It was cold and disagreeable during the «entire day. During the forenoon mer cury was 12 degrees above zero. It be came slightly warmer in the after- Hoou, A little before dark the snow turned to hail, which continued dur ing the first half of the night. Danville citizens who looked for a tleep snow were disappointed yester day. The roads were worn smooth and. with the degree of cold prevail ing, conditions wero favorable for good sleighing had the snow attained sufficient depth. The powdery snow settling on the rails impeded the progress of trolley cars and even caused a slight delay on the steam roads. A KISS IN THE DARK William Jennings Bryan is credited with a recent expression which proves that his wisdom is not partisan. He was the guest of honor at a banquet in Reading, PH., when somebody ask ed him: "Mr. Bryan do you think advertis ing is profitable?" Mr. Bryan was almost stunned for the moment —that question was such a startler, the reply so obvious. Hie commoner soon recovered, however, and handed out this unique remark; "A fellow who tries to attract busi ness without advertising is like the fellow who throws his sweetheart a silent kiss in the dark. He knows what he is doing, but nobody else does.'' One guest, an advertising expert, set it down in his notebook to hand along to future, generations. "It is worth reading over and ov er," ho said, "and the more you read it the more you see in it. Bnt think of asking Mr. Bryan if advertising pays.'' THE LAST RITES The funeral of Mrs. Robert G. Mill er took place from the Mahoning Pres byterian church at 2 :80 o'clock yester day afternoon, interment being made in Odd Fellows' cemetery. The services were conducted by tho Rev. James Wollaston Kirk. The pall bearers were: J. E. Moore, Dr. Rob bins, H. B. Sehultz and David Sliel iiart. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Steiff, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Miller, of Wyoming; Mr. and Mrs. William Bartietf. of West Pitttson; Mrs. Fannie Griffith and Miss Dora Harris of Shamokin; Dr. Warren J. Miller and Charles S. Miller of Phila delphia; Miss Catherine Miller of As bury Park. The County Audit. The board of£couuty auditors con sisting of B. L. Dielil, Mahoning town ship; Thomas Vansant, Liberty town ship, and J. H. Woodside, this city, began tho annual audit of accounts iu tho office of the county commissioners Modday. The audit will occupy the ■entire week. COLDEST WEATHER OF IRE WINTER Following the coldest weather of the winter Danville and the State at large got beneath the predicted blizzard of snow and sleet, which started yester day morning. Snow is expected to continue today ovei the State and the forceast issued last evening from the Harrisburg branch of the United States weather bureau, says the fall is likely to last 24 bonis longer with warmer weather today. There is a possibility of the snow being varied with sleet, and even rain is among the possible features of the weather. As a result of the sleet fall ing on the thin covering of snow yes terday walking was made extremely difficult and numerous people had falls. Elaborate preparations havo been made as a result of yesterday's Wash ington bulletining to guard against a recurrence of the conditions that fol lowed upon the Christmas snow, when the State's railroads were worse de moralized than for years. The snow that was cleared away then is still piled up alongside the tracks, and the prospect of another heavy fall is viewed with apprenhen sion by the transportation companies. Hereabouts and all over Pennsyl vania rivers and streams are frozen tight, and there is little danger of floods unless very warm weather ac compained with heavy rains should set in. WORST STORM OF YEARS IN THE MIDDLE WEST Chicago, Jan. 5. —The storm which reached blizzard force in Colorado moved eastward during the night and today the middle west is experiencing one of the worst storms in years, ac cording to advices received from many cities. While no reports of fatalities have been received from the immedi ate vicinity of Chicago,immense dam age has been done. Railroad trains are i blocked everywhere and the telcgiaph ■ and telephone communication is badly j crippled. | 111 Chicago the extreme cold weatli ler which lias prevailed for several | days moderated today when the city | awoke to find five inches of sleet on the ground. IN IOWA AND NEBRASKA '■ The blizzard reached its [height in ! lowa and Nebraska. Reports from Des Moines indicate that it's the worst i storm of many years and the damage ' will be enormous. | At lowa City Jtlie State university i was compelledfto close because of a j shortage of fuel and many other lowa | towns had a similar shortage. The fre j quency of the recent stormsjhad delay- I ed traffic for days and it has been im j possible to ship enough coal to supply ! all the lowa towns. Numerous rail i road wrecks are also reported from I lowa. In Nebraska similar conditions prevail. The storm has tied up street ; traffic. In Omaha and Lincoln streets | were closed. In the noitheru part of | the State many trains are reported j stalled. The railroad trouble is so 1 great that it will be'many days before j traffic resumes its normal condition. I Missouri and Colorado conditions have ; become worse over night according to j meagre reports received today. STORM IN THE NORTHWEST ACCOMPAINED BY GREAT COLD | Minneapolis, Jan. 5. —The blizzard ! throughout the northwest continues without abatement. It is ten degrees below zero here and in some parts of , the Dakotas it is thirty degrees below. One man was frozen to death near Judith Gap, Mont., while going to visit his wife at his ranch. He got lost ami wandered far from the road. A farmer named Isaackson,living near Lake Chotek,Wis.,was frozen to death while driving from his farm near Flat- Hand to Couderay. He was found sit ting his seat, the horses still proceeding aimlessly along the road. ONE MAN S AWFUL EXPERIENCE Oscar Melhoru, aged twenty-five, was brought into Bismark,N. D., hos pital with parts of his body frozen, j His hands and feet were amputated ! this morning. He says he was turned I out of a farmhouse of a neighbor with i whom he sought refuge, his own fire ; having died out. He was unable to en dure the cold in his home and started to walk twelve miles to Dogden. The 1 last two miles of his journey was made on his hands and knees, his feet having become so benumbed that lie i was unable to balance himeslf on them. Early Closing. Our stores are now nearly all closing at six o'clock or shortly afterward. As a result Mill street seems quite de serted during the long evenings and j there is little doing even at those est- I ablislmients that remain open. Early ; closing will be the order from now until the approach of Easter. Wedded in Montana. 1 News has boon-received in this city !of the marriage of Peter J. Griffin to Miss Agnes Gerard at Deer Lodge, ; Montana. Mr. Griffin is the son of Patrick Giiffin, Foust street,this city, and formerly resided here. He now | holds a positiou with the Northern Pacific railway at Deer Lodge. Three inmates escaped from the Al lenhey county insane asylum at Wood ville, recently and one of them, Fritz Moser, was captured later in Carnegie. The others aro at large. The fellows in some mysterious way gained pos session of files and obtained their free dom with the aid of these. LARGE NUMBER OF CIVIL CASES An unusually long list of civil cases for trial at the January term of court to be held next week lias been cert ilied from the records. The two eases of Sophie G. Eckman against respectively the Lehigh and Wilkes-BarreJCoal Company and the Cross Creek Coal company, which have been continued for several terms, head the list. The attorneys interested are the same in both cases—Gearhart, Hinckloy and Menscii for the plaintiff and Wolverton and West for the de fendants. Other civil'cases are as follows: "William R.

In the second suit, in which H. B. Mor- I dan is plaintiff, the action is brought ! to recover for loss sustained by trac tion engine breaking through a bridge in northern end of couutv. ESCAPING QUARANTINE The public school authorities have , become convinced that chicken pox is very prevalent in Danville, although only comparatively few cases are re ported. Tliis is due to 110 neglect on the part of the physicians for the rea son that the doctors are not called in attendance. Whether wisely or otherwise many people have come to regard chicken pox as a mild disease and but little to be dreaded, notwithstanding that pu pils belonging to households ill which the disease exists are not permitted by law to attend school for a period of 21 days. Many parents seem to under stand a few simple remedies and rath j er than call a physician and have the j house placarded decide to run the risk j and treat the victim of chicken pox ! themselves. Thereby the other chil i dren of the family are permitted to remain in school. This, of course, is a very unfortun ate state of affairs. Chicken pox is not I regarded by the medical fraternity as essentially a mild, much less harm less, disease, if it weie it would not be placed in the same category with ailments that call for quaran tine. Obviously parents who fail to call in a physician make a mistake, as they not only deprive the child of skillful treatment, which they may have great cause to regret, but by sending the other children of the fami ly to school also expose the whole body of pupils to danger. HORTICULTURAL MEETING The annual meeting of the State Horticultural association of Pennsyl vania will be. held in the borough of Tunkliannock, Wyoming county, 011 the llth, 12 and 13th of this month. It is believed that this will be one of the most interesting meetings'that the association lias ever held. A number of county societies are arranging to have fruit on display, and a fine ex hibition is expected. Topics of especial interest to fruit growers and horticul | turists will be discussed. Any person ; can become a member by paying one j dollar, and will be entitled through ! such payment to receive a copy of the j annual report. Professor H. A. Sur j face, State ozologist, will be in atten dance during the entire meeting and ! take an active part in the proceed ings. Special Revival Meetings. The special revival meetings that are being held each evening at 7;30 this week in Saint Paul's Methodist Episcopal church are proving to be quite a success. The attendance is large anil the people join heartily in the service. Next Sunday afternoon at threo o'clock a mooting for men only will be held. A cordial invitation is extended to all thoughtful people to come to these services. LIST OF APPLICANTS FOB LICENSE IN MONTOUR COUNTY AT JANUARY SESSION 1910.

OUTLOOK IN THE BUSINESS WOULD Conservatism ami tact in dealing with the labor situation and with poli tico-economic questions which are pressing for solution would seem neces sary if what now looks like a very ex cellent trade outlook is to be fully realized in lit 10. Reasous for confid ence in an excellent if not a record trade in 1910 are many, according to Bradstreet's. The agricultural intorett is prosperous as never before in the country's history, ami the first of the great crops of the yetr— wheat—enters the Winter in excellent audition on a next-to-record area. High prices for all faim produce would seem to guar antee enormous plantings of all crops this year. Spring orders already re ceived by jobbers and wholesalers and business booked by manufacturers practically insure the full or over time now being run until next year's crop and trade outlook takes more definite form. While it might be erroneous to expect the record building expendit ures of 11)09 to be exceeded in 1910, an active year's business is looked for. It is generally conceded that the rail roads will bo free spenders for im provements in the coming year. Fin ally, if reports as to holiday and re tail buying are correct, public pur chasing power, despite high prices ruling, seems to be fairly normal. All these things indicate activity in a high degree. Modifying or qualifying these features somewhat is the ques tion of the effect increased price levels of oommoidties, and therefore of all costs of business and industrial opera tion, will have upon general business. These have already lessened profits ami bid fair to be productive of much friction in industrial lines. If the activity confidently looked for eventu ates, active money markets and firm rates would seem probable. Indeed, the calm in speculation after earlier activity resulting in new high record price levels is taken by some to indi cate that the securities markets have already discounted much of the future. Teaching Music in Oklahoma. Miss Madge Books Sanders, a native of this city, is a member of the music al faculty of the Agricultural and Mechanical college of Stillwell, Okla homa, having charge of piano instruc tion. A newspaper recently leceived here gives a lengthy account of an in formal reception which Miss Sanders tendered to 130 pupils of the music department of the college and mem bers of the faculty. The paper speaks of Miss Sanders as "not only a charm ing young lady and an accomplished musician but also a delightful enter tainer. " When Benjamin Luey found Charles Huston, his brother-in-law, prowling about his house in Philadelphia, the latter fired two shots at him,one glanc ing off his watch and the other going wild. Then while Luey went for a policeman,Huston set fire to the house and killed himself by sending a bullet crashing through his skull. Huston, the police say,was released from prison last October and his wife has been estranged from him ever since he was convicted. The police believe that it was Huston's plan to murder the whole Luey household. Charter Notice.

Surface, State Zooloigst, at Harrisburg, that he feared an over planting of fruit trees in Pennsylvania at the present time,some persons have construed his remark to mean that this would result in overproduction and profitless orcharding. The Zoolog ist explains the difference by saying that while overplanting is easily pos sible, owing to the planting of many trees dominated by mercenary motives only,and which will surely be neglect ed, overproduction will not be possi ble for the reason that every tree that is of the right variety, and is given proper care, will produce fruit that' can be marketed for a better price than ever before. Modern facilities, in the form of refrigerator cars for transportation, and cold storage rooms for the storage of perishable fruit, make it possible for the orchardist to produce fruit in great quantities and hold the same un til the products can gradually reach the consumer. Under such circumst ances tlie fruit can be sold for good prices and no one who will make a real study of orcharding, and produce first class fruit in abundance, need fear that he will have any difficulty to dispose of his crop. The man who has more trees than he can give his attention to, or, in other words,who overplants; who will not study the subject of horticulture, and consequently does not become per sonally interested in it, is the one who will produce fruit of inferior quality, and consequently be unable to get rid of it promptly or at an advantageous price. Such a person will declare that he is suffering from overproduction, when,as a matter of fact,his real diffi culties are overplanting and lack of care. There has recently developed a com mon belief that it is possible for any one,especially a professional or a busi ness man, to start an orchard, plant, spray his trees occasionally, and in the course of time obtain good crops from them at highly profitable prices. This is a mistake. The only success ful orcharding will be those who study their individual trees as the dairyman studied his individual cattle. He will attempt to furnish each with the balanced ration of fertilizer, ac cording to its own needs and possibili ties, and will prune, spray and cul tivate each according to the general needs of the orchard, and the specific needs of that particular tree. Those who determine to raise first class fruits, and will study, master,and en joy the subject, and live among the trees, rather than expect their employes only to do this, need not be discour aged with the outlook for the j>ro spects of the New Fruit Culture in Pennsylvania.
