REVISITING HIS JARLY HOME Hiram Bright of Benton County, In diana, a native of Montour County, is visiting old friends in thiH section af ter many year's absence. Mr. Bright, who is a brother of our townsman, Dennis Bright, WHB born ou tho home stead farm noar Mausdale and grew to manhood in this vicinity. In 1857, wlion still a young man, he went west and of him it may bo said literally that lie "grow up with the country." At the day of his emigra tion all that section of tho oouulry was still an unbroken prairie devoted to grazing. He has lived to witness all the various stagos of devolopmeut following the days when tho first set tlers began to ponr in. Today instead of the illimitablo prairie there is a suc cession of flourishing farms and towns. Mr. Bright himself is a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. During his boyhood Mr. Bright at tended school in Danville among his companions being a number of our lead ing citizens who still survive. Many changes have occurred sinco lie left this section. Maus' furnace, the Oliu laskey furnace and many other old in dustries scaroely ever head of at tho present day, wore running and doing a good business when he was about Danville. Mr. Bright, who has become ac onstomed to Western enterprise, does not think that Danville has kept pace with the general development of the country even if its conrse in certain periods did not seem to be backwards. He is glad, however, to learn that a policy of improvements has been ad opted and he welcomes the now era that seems about to dawn ou his na tive town.

Van Dorau, representative of Rumsey Electrioal Manufacturing Company, which is getting ready to install an electric lighting plant in this city, left Dauville Monday tore noon and will return today. It has been ascertained that the municipal light plant will need (our hundred poles to accommodate its ser vice. It is hoped that nothing like this number will iiave to be erected in the Borough considering the number of polos that are already maintained upon our streets. Every effort will bo made to gain consent of the telephone and other companies to use thuir poles. It was ascertained yesterday that there are no less than six different companies maintaining poles upon our streets; these are as follows: The Standard Electric Light Company, United Telephone and Telegraph Com pany, Western Union Telegraph Com pany. American Telogiaph and Tele phone Company, Philadelphia and Reading, Pottsville Telegraph Com pany and Pennsylvania Telegraph Company.

Canada thistles just now aro giving Constable Youug of tho First Ward considerable trouble. Of all the un sightly, useless and injurious weeds known tho Cauailt thistle is consider ed the worst and the government is determined it shall not be porniitted to thrive. The law makes it a part of the Constables' duties to see to it that the thistles are destroyod. There are many places in the First Ward as woll as in othor parts of town, moßtly vacant lots, where Can ada thistles grow in rank profusion. The constable lias already porformed a part of his duty by notifying the owners of such lots that the wends are growing and that they must be de stroyed. In very few instances have the thistles been out down aud the tune is now drawing nigh when the constable will have to take tho next step in the per formance of his duty, which will he to employ men and have the weeds de stroyed at tho ownor's expense. Taken to the Hospital, Frank Kthridge, roller at the Read ing Iron Works, who has been in disposed for some days past, was re moved to Reading yesterday, where his home is situated. He has developed symptoms of typhoid fevoraud will bo takeu to the hospital in that city. He was accompanied to Reading by his brother, who arrived in Danville Tues day evening.

The right of way through tho township, lie de clared, had been well taken care of and that what was desired now was that the right of way be granted through the Borough. His company is anxious to begin the construction of the line this fall and he stated that if the right of way was granted now " the picks would go into the ground beforo tho middle of next woek." His company had an ordinance prepared and it was present at the meeting. Ho was willing to r?ad it, lie said, but would do so onlv on condition that the Danville and Bloomsbnrg Company would submit its ordinance at tho same time. Councilman Kimbel approved of roadiug the ordinances, if both com panies were prepared, as ho said, by that means, tho citizens could hear what each had to offer what streets were desired, etc. ; this would afford plenty of time for discussion so that Council at its next meeting could take action in conformity with public opinion. Mr. Pascoe speaking for the Danvillo and Bloomsburg liue explained, that having the nature of the meetiug in mind ho had not thought it necessary to bring the ordinance along. He as sured the citizens, however, that the ordinance would be fair in every re spect and would please everyone. Under tho circumstances neither or dinance was read. Charles Chalfant, Esq., made an oloquent address dwelling upon tho benefits of stenm and trolley roads and tho part they played iu the develop ment of tho North Branch Valloy. Other addresses followed tending to reveal what each company had to show in tho way of good service, and what its prospects are for building the liue at an oarly day. The Council will take action at its next mooting. BEARS SEEN AT JAiVIISON Bears on tho North Mountain appear to be more plontiful this year than for many yoars previous.

Pulling Weeds on Golf Grounds. That Oastle Grove is not to be de spised as a factor amoug the establish ments affording employment to our citizens will bo very clear when it is statod that since spring Mr. Bennett has paid out at least ono thousaud dol lars to small boys alone for pulling weeds on his golf grounds. The golf grounds must be iu excellent condition and one of tho requisites seems to bo that they be kept clear of weeds. The most troublosomo growth is tho plautaiu, which infests the en tire area audit is to eradicate theso that tho hoys are kept regularly em ployed. There are seldom less than some thirty at work. Each boy is armed with an instrument with which ho severs the root of the plantain after which the weed is easily extracted. The boys, who may avorago some ton years of ago, are paid fifty cents per day so that although tho work is more or less tiresome there is a big induce ment for the littlo fellows to keep at work. Some of the boys earu twelve dollars per month aud upwards and have worked regularly sinco spriug. The boys' pay roll this year will be a big item iu tho expense account at Oastlo Grovo. Ohurch Street Bridge. It seems likely that the canal bridge at Ohurch stroet, which is in a worn out aud unsafe condition, may bo torn down in a short time and replaced by a culvert as was done on Mill street. The D. L & W. Kail road Company, presont owners of the canal,have beon apprised of tho bridge's unsafe condi tion aud Council will now propose that the bridge be removed and that the ground excavated on Milt street ho utilized in constructing a culvert to take its placo. The Borough will contribute the ground and haul it to the spot freo of oost, merely asking the railroad com pany as its share of the work to lay up the walls. The stone in the abut ments and in the wing walls of tho biidgo, it is held, will bo ample for tho stone work of the culvert, so that tho ou(y expeuse that the railr«ad com- { pauy will be under will bo cost of labor. INSPECTOR ON THE GRODND Work on the Mausdale road, being built under the act of April 15, 1903, has now boon in progross one week and a fair beginuing has been made. J. N. Smith of Altoona,inspector em ployed by the State, is on the ground and will have the work under his eye from now until its completion. Mr. Smith and W. U. Oakes, representa tive of the Maryland Construction Company, are both stopping at Hotel Oliver. The work has progressed far enough to reveal both where the macadamiz od portion of the road will lio and the system omployod iu the work. With the assistance of a plojv the surfaco was taken oil approximately to tho proper depth from the Borough line to a poiut near the Gravel B.iuk school house. The earth exoavated was carted away, a large portion of it being used iu constructing a sidewalk along side tho company barn and in front of the row of houses on tho same sido of the stroet west of that point. Tho sidewalk for a long distauco there was very low aud as a rosult of the filling up is very much improved. Tnosday the mon were put to work "trimming up." Tho width of the rough oxcavation is eighteen foet and aloug this, section by soction, linos aro drawn to indicate the surface and the sub grade. The lines.parallel, aud threo iu number, aro so arranged as to give the finished road bed tho five inch "crown" required by the specifi cations. The distance between tho surfa 0 aud the bottom grade is eight inches, which represents tho space to be filled with crushed cinder, trap rook and othor material forming the macadam or the roadway. For a long distance at a time the top grade lies several inolios below the natural surfaco of the road, which convoys a good idoa of tho enormous amount of digging re quired. It is only here and there that the top grade is above the stfrface of tho old road, whilo at every point the sub grade lies below the surface. Tho macadamizod strip eighteen feet wide does not follow the wiudings of the old road. Although it starts in the middle at the Borough lino just be yond tho Company barn it lies on the south side of the road and further on it occupies tho north side, finally leav iug the road iu part and cutting into rho gravel bank ne »r tho school house. Twenty-five Italians were omployed yesterday. The "trimming up" pro cess implies leveling oil* and shaping up the bottom as indicated by tho three parallel lines. Each man has a mark on his shovel handle indicating eight inches an J he measures with this to determine when ho has dug deep enough below thn linos. Tho portion of the road under way is being clean ed up very rapidly and made ready for tho maradam. KEDUOED RATES TO PORTLAND, ORE. Via Pennsylvania Railroad, Account Amer ican Mining Congress.

A house belonging to Mrs. Morrit caught iiro on April 12th, but was quickly oxtinguisliod by tho liremen. Upon investigation of tho origin largo quautitios of excelsior soaked in oil wore found iu several of tho rooms. Tho house was built shortly boforethe depression of tho Berwick car works and as the house has never been oc cupied aud is hoavily insured it is thought that Dr. Morrit wished to got rid of it. At tho time of tho fire Edward Bar gusou, who had boon hired to paint the building, whs uuder suspiciou and whon arrested admitted some very damaging facts concerning Dr. Mor rit. Tho company has conducted a quiet investigation aud waited until they had seoured enough evidence to convict the guilty parties.
