A LIBERAL Oi'FER
McHenry Distilling Company Will Supply
Fire Protection to Benton Free
The Rohr McHenry Distilling
Co. of Benton has made a very
liberal proposition to the borough
Council of that place to supply fire
protection free of cost. In their
letter of July 13th to the council
they say:
"We expect to begin work with
in a week upon the construction of
a Water Plant to our Distillery to
meet the requirements of our in
creased capacity.
The pumping station will be lo
cited within fifty feet of the West
Creek Bridge.
A six inch pipe line will be laid
across the hill to an elevation of
250 feet, thus giving a working
fire pressure in the borough of over
loo pounds.
Our pump will be operated by a
40 horse power dynamo and motor,
and can be started and stopped by
the engineer at the Distillery the
instant the fire signal is received.
The pumping station will be un
der commission and ready for in
stant service every minute of the
day or night, including Sundays,
and will have a delivering caoacity
ranging from 400 gallons to 1000
gallons per minute according to
pressure required.
We will not build a storage res
ervoir this year.
We offer to the use of the
borough the privilege of attaching
to our pipe line for fire protection
to the town free of charge aud to
continue the free use of this privi
lege until such time as the borough
can erect and maintain its own
pumping station."
Such public spirited citizens as
Rohr McHenry and his son John
J. are not numerous. Benton has
had several disastrous fires, and
needs fire protection. The Mc
Henrys are putting in their own
water plant and would be in a posi
tion to offer water to the borough
at a profitable price, but they are
not built that way. The borough
which they have done so much to
build up is to have free fire pro
tection until it can provide its own
pump. A town possessing such
citizens is fortunate indeed.
J. S- SANDERS HURT.
Jeremiah S. Sanders, of Wilkes
oarre, trie wen-known newspaper
man and former resident of Ber
wick, was very badly nurt in an
automobile accident on Sunday
evening.
Mr. Sanders was enjoying a ride
in an automobile along with his
son-in-law, aud daughter, Dr. Mor
gan Weller and wife. They attempt
ed to cross the tracks of the Penn
sylvania Railroad at South Wilkes
Darre ana tailing to see the ap
prouch of a freight train, which was
running backward, they were
struck, the forward car cutting the
automobile in two. That they were
not all killed is truly miraculous.
Mr. Sanders was dragged a hun
dred feet and was unconscious when
picked up, and was taken to a
hospital, where it was found his
leg was fractured below the knee.
Mr. Sanders is 72 yeaVs old and
many years ago published a paper
at Berwick. He is a brother of
Mrs. Daniel Boyce.

The G. A. R. Picnic of the Sus-
quehanua District will again be held
at Edgewood Park, Shamokin, this
year and will take place on Satur
day, August 1 2th.
Some seventeen Posts are em
braced in the Association, taking in
the following towns : Watsontowu,
Milton, Northumberland, Lewis-
burg, Mifflinburg, Sunbury, Sha
mokin, Mt. Carmel, Bloonisburg,
Catawissa, Berwick and Danville.
The annual outing as usual will
be in the form of a basket picnic
and will be open to everybody.
There will be noted speakers on
hand. Among those present will
be Department Commander and
Staff. The plans are all laid to se
cure a large attendance.
The G A. R. Picnic of the Sus
quehanna District is held annually,
the present being the third year in
succession that it has been held in
Edgewood Park. They are always
successful and well attended affairs.
A Good Band-
The Catawissa Band cave con
certs on Friday aud Saturday even
ings at the I'riendslup lure Co s.
festival, and attracted large crowds
both nights by its excellent music.
It is a good band. Catawissa always
did have a good band. We don't
know why it is, but one reason
assigned is that they have never
tolerated any kickers. Whenever a
member begins to growl, or when
he reaches a point where he knows
lots more than the leader, he is in
variably "bounced." This may
be true or not, but it is a good rule
anyway.

OLD TREE GOSE
A large maple tree standing on
the line between the property of F.
G. Yorks and that occupied by
Geo. E. Elwell 01 Market street,
was removed during the past week.
It was over fifty years old and
was planted by I. V. McKelvy.
Though large and beautifully syn
metrical in the .summer when cov
ered with foliage, it was a ragged
looking object in winter, having
been very badly broken in the tor
nado of 1896, when all the upper
limbs were torn off, leaving little
but the trunk.
The reasons for its removal were
that it was necessary to cut off ail
the large roots on the Yorks side to
make room lor his porch founda
tions. This, it was thought would
so weaken the tree that it might
blow over on the Elwell side which
already showed signs of decay.
The people most interested in
th? tree did not have it removed
merely as a matter of amusement,
but because the changed conditions
made it necessary, as everywhere
we see the old land marks going
down to make room for modern im
provements. The stately propor
tions and the spreading shade of
this old giant tree will be missed,
and both the adjoining owners
would gladly have retained it, if
in their judgement it had been wise
to do so.
It took four men four days to
take the tree down, and it required
six horses to pull the stump away
on a sledge.
DOGS
While professing no antipathy to
dogs in general, the Danville In
telligencer has entered upon a cam
paign against about 750 particular
dogs iu that borough, which it in
sists are escaping the legal dog tax.
The Intelligencer asserts that only
247 Danville dogs ara assessed,
while the borough contains not less
than 1000 canines, and it insists
that the tax shall be levied and
collected on all or none.
Perhaps we are a little better off
in Bloomsburg. With an equally
large contingent of dogs, our asses
sors have been able to find and have
assessed 311. Now let the owners
protect them by muzzling them;
and then let those not so protected
be turned over to the Pound Mas
ter; and one great nuisance will be
abated. Dog skins will be a drug
in tbe market, but they are worth
nothing even with a dog in tbem,

Lightning and Hail. '
Yesterday morning at 11.15 a
thunder shower came up suddenly,
and was accompanied by hail for
about five minutes. It cooled off
the nir for a little while. The
cupola of Warner Mifflin's house,
aud the telephone at Dr. John's
were struck by the electric fluid.
At the Normal School the lightning
followed the electric light wire into
the office and frightened the occu
pants. Isaiah Levan's barn in
Main township was burned down
with all its contents. Rain fell in
torrents, and it was a severe storm
for a little while.
