Evans OLD DANVILLE CEMETERY, On Bloom Street to be Removed. The Danville Morning Xtws of Tuesday says : "There seems little doubt but that the proposition to abolish the old cemetery 011 Bloom street and to establish a park on the sjxjt will be carried through to success. In all some eleven hundred dol lars have been subscribed to date. Some two thousand dollars is the limit fixed as necessary to pay all expenses incident to the improve ment. A great deal of formality is involved, especially in getting rid of the cemetery, but no material step will be taken in the proceed ings until it is determined whether or not the whole sum of money needed can be raised. It was learned that the intention is to push the canvassing along as rapidly as possible, finishing up, if possible, this week. As a next step tne old ininal ground will be re A. . I uirneu 10 court wnen it convenes 011 the 27th inst. There is no qne?v tion hut that it will be condemned although the exact form that pro cedure may take beyond that point is 1101 so ciear. 1 ne committee ot council in whose hands the matter rests feel quite confident both that the money required can be raised and that the borough will be empowered to abolish the cemetery and to estab hsh a park on the site." This is a step in the right direc tiou. The old grave yard has been in a neglected and dilapidated con anion tor many years.

' i L To the Voters of Columbia County: I hereby announce myself as a candidate for Associate Judge, (Sec ond term.) The rules of the Dem ocratic Party of this county provide that the office of Associate Judge is in the two term class. I am, however, not basing my candidacy on this proposition alone, but I ask my constituency to ex amine my record as Judge, and if I have performed my duties accord ing to law, and in compliance with my oath of office I ask for a re election with the purpose of faith fully executing the trust reposed in me. Since I have assumed the duties of Associate Judge my salary has been as follows: first year, $395; second year, $435;third ye ir $445. FIFTY BELONG TO BLACK HAND In Shamokin Regions, Sayi Prominent Italian Secret Service Plan to End Organiza tion. "Not two thirds of the crimes at tributed to the Black Hand are really committed by this organiza tion," said a prominent Italian resident of Shamckin Saturday. He said, however, that without doubt the society was organized in the county. Asked how many Italians belonged to it he said that there were at least fifty in that region. It is the belief that tbis organization is in direct communi cation with the New York and Philadelphia branches of the society and that its members who commit crimes are spirited away to com rades in these cities and are safe from retributive justice as though the earth had swallowed them up. Secret service men sent out through the alliance of the district attorneys of New York, Philadel phia and Luzerne county are ex pected to end the reign of terror that the Black Hand has exercised for some time in the eastern States. A net work of special police is to be spread for the violators of the law, which will effectually rid Northumberland county of them. The plan includes all the counties in the State where the Black Hand is known to exist. So far the au thorities of Northumberland county have not been asked for coopera tion in the scheme but it is expect ed that the plan will be made gen eral. The Italian above mentioned who s thoroughly familiar with the system pursued by the Black Hand said that very few of the letters supposed to be sent by the Black Hand are the genuine articles. 1 he real Black Hand missive is only spot ot paper, blackened on one side and with a skull and cross bones on the other. Sometimes the missive states what sum of money s demanded and how long a time is given for the accomplishment of the demands. "The Black Hand," continued the speaker, "is a gang of organ ized highwaymen and cutthroats. They want to make money with out working. All good thinking Italians will be glad to see it exter minated from this countiy." DTiendship Festival. Friendship Fire Co. No. 1 will hold a festival in Town Hall on "riday and Saturday, May 17th and 1 8th. The public should give them a liberal patronage. OASVOniA, Bean the mma ion narc always wugu Stgnatr.vo and fourth year $435, or a total of $1710 for four ears' service. It will be plainly seen that the salary received is not. an induce ment to make a political canvass for the otfice. There are others who of course draw more. In one county of this Commonwealth, the Auditor General's report shows one year's salary to be as high as 59-35 r nearly as much as I received in four years. I can only add that it is my pur pose to execute this trust more in the interests of the people than for the emoluments of the office. Respectfully soliciting your sup port, 1 am, Faithfully yours, WILLIAM KRICKBAUM Bloonisburg, Pa., April 29, 1907. TRIALS IN COURT. Nicholas Blace was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. He was convicted of abusing his wife, kicking her and threaten ing to kill her. 1 he sentence was that he pay the costs of prosecu tion, pay a fine of $25, and go to jail for four months. This case was from Centralia. Oscar Karns pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing grain from D. W. Parker of Greenwood town ship. District Attorney Small stated that the defendant had made resti tutiou. D. W. Parker made a state ment of the facts in the case. The Court sentenced defendant to pay cost of prosecution, fine of $10, and go to jatl for 60 days. Robert Home was convicted of fornication and bastardy, the prose cutrix being Salome Fetterman The case was warmly contested the defense being an alibi, a hotel register at Sunbury showing that Home was in that place on the night of April 22, the time the offense was said to have been com mitted. The jury found him guilty. A motion was made for a new trial. SCRAP PAPER NUISANCE. A number of times we have been compelled to forbid children to come to this office for scrap paper. They scatter the paper all over the floor, and often fling it into the street after they leave the office Besides that, the nuisance of dozens of children daily coming into a business office with their ceaseless chattering has become un endurable. We are pretty good natured people, but this thing has reached the limit, and children who come 111 for scrap will now find a sign on the door, which reads "No scrap paper given away to child ren." Liz Skipped. Lizzie Earhart who has been running a disreputable house on Hast Seventh street for some time past, was indicted on Monday, on the report of Constable Betz. When the officer went to get her she was not at home and has not been found. A few courts ago she was scared out of town, but she soon returned and continued business at the same place. She will probably do the same thing this time. Public- Sale, Ten room houstfiill of household goods must be sold at once to settle estate. .Sale Friday, May 10th 1:30 p. 111. at 442 W.
