There have' already been issued this year 20,000 licenses, bringing a revenue to the depart- meut of $60,000, a portion of which is now being used to experiment with patent dust layers on public roads.

The Danville Morning News of Monday says : A magnificent park eclipsing anything of its kind in this part of the State midway between Dan ville and Bloomsburg. Work on the construction will begin at once and will be entirely completed this fall. The Danville and Bloomsburg Street Railway company is back of the enterprise, and has secured the co operation of Mr. A. Jahn.of Read ing, the millionaire park promoter, who has personally perfected the plans and will direct the construc tion. Mr. Jahn and Thomas B. Illig, a member of the board of di rectors, were in Danville Saturday completing arrangements for the new amusement place. In an interview with a News re porter Mr. Jahn said that the new park would be modern and up-to-date in every particular, embracing the finest of everything that can be pracured in the way of open air di versions. The feature of the park will be the pavilion, 70 feet by 150 feet and of ornate construction, including a fine maple dancing floor. Another feature will be the roller coaster and still another the 40-foot elec tric carousel. All of these principal features of the park are to be group ed in one place on the grounds, oc cupying a plot 70 feet by 400 feet, so thai in case of inclement weather it will not be necessary to step from shelter in order to reach any one of numerous amusements iu the park There will also be erected a big station for the arriving and depart ing trolley parties. There will be several private dining rooms, shel ter pavilions, everything 111 the booth line, benches, tables, and in fact everything that would go to complete a first class resort. LOCATION NOT MADE PUBLIC. The trolley officials refused todi vulge the location of the new park, stating that for business reasons they desired that this remain a secret for several days. They said, however, that the site was in one of the prettiest groves along the line, about half way between Dan ville and Bloomsburg aud of easy access to the trolley line. The park will include 30 acres of woodland. WILL INSTALL LIGHT PLANT. To light the new park it is esti mated that it will require at least 10,000 incandescent lamps, and to meet the additional current needed for the lighting the trolley com pany will install an electric lighting plant of its own in connection with the power house at Grovania. Four Parties File Nomination Papers There will be four parties repre sented on the State ticket to be voted in November next, the Dem ocratic, Republican, Prohibition and Socialist parties having nomi nated and filed their nomination papers in the State department. Thursday was the last day for filing nomination papers for the State ticket, and the names filed at the department will very likely be those to be printed on the ballot. In case ot vacancies on the ticket they can be filled at any reasonable time, giving the county commis sioners opportunity to print the ballots. If there be any objections to can didates on the State ticket they must be filed by today, as the time for filing objections expires then. The ballots will be certified to the county commissioners as soon as it is ascertained that there are no contests and no vacancies, and the trouble of last year, when there was so much delay all over the State iu the printing of the ballots will be averted.

This expression of illusionists and J magicians fits exactly with the methods employed by a swindler who for the past few weeks has been operating in the surrounding towns, and who is probably in Bloomsburg this week. The swindler has been using a very clever substitution game with a pair of eye glasses. The man sells the eye glasses to the party, and by the way the first pair are gold and fully worth the price paid for them, but the swindling part comes in a few days later, when after making the sale he returns to the party and asks to sec the glass es aud while examining them he cleverly substitutes a worthless pair and leaves them with the victim. At Sliamokiii several parties were victimized before the swindle was liscovered. The man was sought for by the police of that place, but at the hotel where he was stopping it was found that he had departed. . Concert at Orangeville.
