CO-OPERATIVE
TELEPHONE LINE
Oharles V. Amerman, Esq., who lias
beeu agitatiug the construction of
raral telephone linen stated last even
ing that the plan la meeting with great
lavor among the farmers of Montour
oonnty and that the building of a co
operative system embracing many
•mall lines with the farmers them
selves as share holders will probably
be a project of the near fotnre.
The plan that meets with most favor
is a telephone system ronning lines
from the different towns and villages
at different points of the compass,
each line to aooommodate from 85 to
40 'phones and to be oonuected, not
only with other lines of the system,
but with lines of other companies as
well.
That this oan be accomplished is
shown by the following letter :
Sunbnry, Pa., Nov. 18, 1904.
Mr. Ohas. V. Amerman,
Danville, Pa.
Dear Sir:—l understand that von
are interested in the construction of
the farmers line in Montoar oonnty
and adjacent territory. I wonld re
spectfully call your attention to the
fact that the United T. &T. 00. are
willing to make an agreement with
the farmers who propose boildlng a
line whereby the latter oan have con
nection on the several telephone ex
changes adjacent to Danville, Pa.
If the formation of the farmers line
lias reached snoli a stage that we oan
meet the representatives I would be
glad to know the names and the ad
dresses of snoh parties as we are to
correspond with.
Kindly oblige me with an aoiwer.

FIGHTING FLAMES
TO SAVE VILLAGE
MONONGAHELA,Pa., Nov. 28.—A
forest fire which was started by a rail
road engine Bpark last Sunday ou the
hillside opposite here broke out afresh
last night, and flames now menaoe not
only the tipple of the Monongahela
mine ami the farm houses which lie
in the path of fire, but the whole vil
lage of Axleton.
"Ailetou is at the foot of a hill,about
a half mile up the river from where
the blaze is now raging, and besides
about fifty liousos contains the plant
of the Liggett Spring and Axle works
removed last year from Allegheny.
The buildings are at the edge of the
woods, and will fall an easy prey to
the flameß unless the efforts of the fire
fighters are successful. Extreme danger
threatens farm liousos and barns on
the l9vel land at the top of the hill.
Here men are now racing against the
flames in an endeavor to plow op
enough earth to stay their oourse. A
stretch of a inile along the high hill
side has already been swept by the
flames. At Monongahela mine an ef
fort is being made to save the com
pany's property by starting smaller
fires to meet the larger one.

The oontraot holders of the Keystone
Commission Company in this city yes
terday reoeived the following com
munication :
Dear Sir;— You are hereby notified
that the Keystone Commission Com
pany has removed its home office to
406 Metropolitan Building, Esst St.
Louis, Mo. This aotion on oor part
waß necessary for two reasons, name
ly-
First, the inadequate service of the
looal express oompauies, secondly be
cause of the aotion of oertain Danville
people to putin operation a plan that
would «jork injustice to the general
oontraot holders, whioli if putin op
eration would disrupt the Company.
Such a turn of affairs must be avoided
for the proteotion of Danville and oth
er oontraot holders.
Installments should be paid to Mr.
Peters, or mailed to this Company to
the above stated address.
Cheoks will be sent to Danville con
tract holders as their contracts appear
for maturity, aud all contract holders
will be accorded fair and impartial
treatment, regardless of looallty.
Hoping to receive your remittance
and support as heretofore we assure
you of our best endeavor to promote
the interests of all oontract holders,
we remain
Keystone Commission Co.
The Keystone Commission Company
began business in this oity some time
ago under thn name of the Interstate
Commission Company, with offioes at
Buffalo, N. Y. Contracts were sold
that matured with a profit of SO per
oent. in periods that ranged from 10 to
76 weeks. A large business was estab
lished in Danville and the general
offioes were brought hure later on from
Buffalo and located in the Opera House
block.
A short time ago a company was in
corporated nnder the laws of Pennsyl
vania known as the Keystone Com
mission Company,whioli took over all
the business of the Interstate Com
pany, paying off old contracts and
writing new business.
R. H. Dookem was president of the
new oonoern and W. J. Sommers sec
retary. Both men were connneoted
with the original concern and came
here from Buffalo aud their announce
ment of removal to East St. Louis
oomes as • deoided surprise to the oon
traot holders.
F. G. Peters stated last evening that
lie had no knowledge of the removal
of the office until the letters wero re
ceived aod that under the circum
stances he oould reoeive no mouey.
Funerals Snowbound
On Way to Cemetery
LONDON, Nor. 28.—Unprecedented
snow falls oontinue in the British
provinces. Many places and villages
are isolated and everywhere In the
north railway communication is de
layed and in some parts entirely slop
ped.
There are instances of funerals be
ing snow bound between the house
and the cemetery and ohlldreu liavo
had to be dug out of drifts betweon
. their houses and the sohools. Even in
West Cornwall and the Island of Jersey,
where snow is a rarity,heavy falls are
reported.
Ten to twenty degrees of frost were
registered iu the United Kingdom laHt
I night.
Trolley Advantages.
With a pardonable air of pride Mon
day's Morning News aunounced that
t "Danville was filled with visitors ou
, Saturday rnoßt of theui coming iuto
the oity by way of the trolley line.
I Berwick, Bloomsburg, Oatawissaand
, other towns in Columbia oounty were
I represented."
This is the legitimate fruit of the
trolley communication whioli Dan
, villa's enterprise helped to bring into
operation. Where there are easy means
of intercourse there will be travel and
business.
! We very muoli need something of
I that kind in this looality. Probably
in no other town of eqnal size in the
, State are there so many arrivals of
, people from a distance as there are in
Sunbnry, but they come by railroad
and do not have the same intent to do
business with our looal tradespeople
as would those who come by trolley.
There are greater possibilities of busi
ness with the latter kind of visitors, a
fact that should be recognized by all
towns that are lookiug atfer trade,and
should make an impression upon the
business men of our city.
I We need trolley oommnnioation with
other localities. We especially need
it with Snyder county whioli would
be a prolific! souroe of business for our
meroiiants and general traders. A trol
ley line extending from this place
through that section with its numer
ous argicultural population aud its
many small towus, would greatly en
large the geueral trading business of
this city. Can't this be be made ob
vious to oor busiuess people?—Sun

WILKESBARRB 67
JANVILLE 31
The Ninth Regiment basket ball
team of Wilkesbarre administered a
very decided defeat to the Danville
team at the Armory last eveuiug by
the Boore of 67-81. The game, how
ever, was not an uuinterestiug one
sided coutest, the soldiers only throw
iug their baskets after the hardest kind
of work.
The visitors outweighed the home
team, which was possibly their great
est advantage. Danville scored the
first basket of the game aud for a few
minntes prospoets looked bright for a
Danville victory,but Wilkesbarre soon
started the fine playiug that held the
locals down. The first half ended with
tho soore 85-7 in favor of Wilkesbarre.
Part of the second half was much the
same as the first, audit was not until
Kaue, Wilkesbarre's star center, was
compelled to leave the gamn on account
of injuries, that Danville did auy con
sisteut playing. With ouly five min
utes to play Danville made six pretty
goals before time was called. The game
euded with the soore 67-81 In favor of
Wilkesbarre.

IS STILL
MYSTERY
Men searched the mountains sur
rounding Hiokory Ridge all day San
day hunting for the misNlng head of
the man whose body was found by
hooters Saturday morning, one hun
dred feet from the pubiio road, be
tween Hiokory Ridge and Shamokin.
Everybody Is convinced that the man
was murdered, and it is generally be
lieved the victim was a oolleotor for
an installment Arm and that he was
robbed of a large sum of money. The
tragedy ooourred immediately after
pay day, and the region is generally
visited by installment collectors after
the miners receive their semi-monthly
earnings.
The body of the viotlm was taken to
a Ut. Oarmel undertaking establish
ment Sunday and oarefully examined.
The hands are small and fair,the nails
being well manioured. The body mea
sured fi feet 3 inohes. The knuckleß
of the right flst are torn, indicating
that the viotim had battled with one
or more assassins.
A searohing party Sunday night
found a saok ooat, two new gloves, a
pieoe of garter, a four-in-hand tio and
a stickpin several hundred feet from
where the body lay. The coat is
thoaght to have been torn from oft
the dead man.
Ooroner Dreher, of Shamokln, says
the decapitation of the head was ac
complished by one sweep of the knife,
the boneß of the vertebrae being cut
through. There was no dislocation and
whoever used the knife wielded it
with anatomical knowledge.
Six ballet woandß were found, two
in the breast, two in the baok.one un
der an arm and another in the calf ot
the right limb. The bullets were from
a 38-oalibre revolver, several empty
shells being fouud near by.
John Biernskey.pompman at Hickory
Ridge Colliery, says he heard pistol
shots along the road about 8 o'clock
Friday night, bat pild no attention to
them, as frequently crowds of Italiau
and Hungarian miners discharged fire
arms at trees and in the air.
The body of the victim lay at Hick
ory Ridge a long time before it was
removed to the undertaker's and it
was viewed by many men and women,
all of whom were fearful it might be
one of their relatives.
In all of the more important towns
in the region inquiries have been made
to learn whether any one has disap
peared. So far no one has been re
ported missing.
Monday morning Ooroner Dreher
empaneled the following jury at Mt.
Oarmel: Dr. W. H. Lewis, James
Whiteman, Dr. W. Leer Williams,
John Dreher, W. P. Komble aud John
A. Breslin. The jury viewed the body
but no time was fixed to hear testi
mony, it having been deoided to wait
hoping that there may be some later
developments in the case. Dr. Will
iams, of Mt. Oarmel, states that the
murdered man was about 35 years of
age and weighed about 170 pounds.
It is likely that the Northumber
land Oounty Commissioners will offer
a reward for the finding ot the miss
ing head.
There has been absolutely no new
developments in the oase of the head
less man found on Saturday near Hick
ory Ridge. The whole region near the
soene of the awful discovery has boen
searohed in vain for the missing head.
It seems that almost every clue has
been exhausted.
Tuesday afternoon the remains wero
laid to rest in the Potter's field in St.
Mary's oemetery. Undertaker Higgins
conduoted the burial.
Some light may be thrown on the
subject from the following story : Om>
day last week a strange womau callef
on outside foreman J. Hesser at Hick
ory Swamp and asked him to accom
pany her to Natalie. He refused to
go,but sent his son Albert and a com
panion to eßoort her. While enronte.
at a point near where the body wa?
discovered, she stopped them, pointed
a revolver at the young men, compel
led them to deliver op their money,
aud then ordered them to return to
Hiokory Swamp.
Several weeks ago a womau and her
son, who were travarsiug this road,
were aoosted by an unknown man, who
wielded a huge knife.
The locality where this body was
discovered is undoubtedly a most dang
erous spot, which is shown by the
stories of numerous robberies committ
ed there.
Thus far the Oounty Commissioners
have offered no reward for the missing
head, or for the murderers. Thin mur
der makes the one hundred aud fourth
killing in Northumberland couuty,
against one hanging.
The National Bird.
Those of us who oannot he sufficient
ly thankful without the aid of a tur
key on Tlianksgiviug Day are threat
ened with a turkey famine or a great
depletion of purse in the purchase of
the American bird.
We are told that the spring was too
springy, the summer too summery and
the fall too tally, that the rain was
too wet and the heat too hot aud the
cold weather too oold for the domestic
" raising" of the birds that onoe swarm
ed all over the country In their wild
state aud were exposed to the ravages
ot myriads of enemies.
When the prloe of the turkey shall
become prohibitive—aud that time ap
pears to be at hand—it will cease to
be the national bird. As a luxury it
will lose its high place in the in arts
of the people. Then a substitute will
be needed. In this extremity there will
be no lack of "ham aud." The hog
may heoome the national bird.
The state of Pennsylvania no>v owns
082,828 acres of land, which have been
set apart for the growth of trees.
There are five hundred million acres
of growing forests iu the United States
outside our insular possissions. And
yet it is estimated thai the annual con
sumption of wood is twice as great as
its growth. This fact shows the im
portance of forestry as a national in
dustry. It is seoond only to agriuul
tar*.
1 GREAT
ATTRACTION
A large and cultured audience mado
up of Danville, Bloomsburg and Oata
wissa people enjoyed one of the most
notable attractions of the Beason at the
local theatre last night,the play being
"The Triumph of An Empress" with
Mildred Holland in the role of "Cath
erine the Qreat of Russia."
The telling of a mere outline of the
story oan give no adequate idea of the
play's strength, nor can it show the
intense heart interest that runs through
the entire pieco. The entire oompany
was exceedingly well balanced, made
up of clever and talented people. Miss
Holland's gowna and jewels were es
pecially pleasing to the feminine por
tion of the audienoe, who read their
description in the Morning News and
saw her display of the latter at Smith's
Jewelry store.
Though Miss Holland has always
beeu'groeted with euthusiastio audi
ences in Dauville her new play met
with popular favor last night. Itß
chief value, however,is in giving Miss
Holland another of the roles in whioli
she esce's. The refreshing quality of
her work is apparent when she is call
led upon to display either comedy or
i emotional quality. As "Catharine the
Empress" she has a role that fits her
admirably, and she plays it well. She
was accorded several curtain oalls.
Hciry C. Mortimer's portrayal of
the Emperor was sincere and intellig
ent. Lillian Norris as a plotting count
ess gave an impressive rendition of the
difficult role. Effective support was
also given by John A. Missen, George
Wsrringtou, Helen Young and Rita
O'Neal. The remodeled stage of the
Danville theatre accommodated the
Bcenio effects to the smallest detail.
RUSSIANS NOW WANTS
ANOTHER BIQ FIGHT
ST. PETERSBURG,Nov 23, 7 a. m.
' —A naval correspondent of the Novoe
Vreuiya urges the formation of a third
souadron for service in the Far east
aud points out that the ship, a modern
battleship is available at Cronstadt.to
whioli, he says could shortly be added
two battleships and two ornisers of a
somewhat older type aud fifteen tor
pedo boats, making in itself a formid
able fleet.
The writer suggests incidentally that
there is still a possibility of getting
out the Black Sea fleet, which, added
to the above squadron should heavily
overmatch the remnant of Japan's sea
power.

tin his address Mr. Laumaster finish
ed up his account of the Oonveution
at Jerusalem whioli wa9 beguu in tliu
first addresn last month. He gave ac
counts of the leading addresses of the
oonveation, reading extracts from
many of them. His discussions of the
apeeolies of the press oensor and Gov
ernor ot Jerusalem and of Ministers
from Turkey, Japan, Oorea, Persia
anti the Philippines were especially
interesting.
He talked about the missionary re
ports made at the convention by rep
resentatives from every part of the
world and read extracts from many of
these interesting reports. In this con
nection he also Bpoke abont the mis
sionary oolleotion that was taken up
at the convention, and which amount
ed to nearly S4OOO.
He gave in fall the resolutions ad
opted by the convention which are of
especial importance to Suuday School
interests throughout the world.
Mr. Laumaster's talk included many
very interesting bits of description,his
word pictures of the large tent in
whioli the convention was held being
particularly absorbing. The big canvas
was in the form of a rectangular A
tent open at the sides and ends, and
sufficiently large to seat many more
than the 1500 regular delegates. Yet
the tent was always orowded, many
natives standing outside. The tent was
pitched outside the walls of Jerusalem
near the Mount of Olives Golgotha
and Gethsemane, all places of extreme
interest in sacred history. By the gov
ernor's order special police and soldiers
of the Sultan of Turkey were detailed
to guard the tent at all times; so that
the best of order prevailed.
The entire audienoe was extremely
well pleased with Mr. Laumaster's in
structive acoouut of the convention in
this address. The next address will
have to do with the first landing at
Funshal in the Madeira Islands.
Why is This Thus ?
"Say," asked a Danville citizen,
"did you ever see n man going to make
a deposit in bank? He cariies his
bank book,with a bunch of money and j
checks, at arm's length, all oonspio
ously exposed to public view. Why j
does he do it? And have you ever
notioed]the same fellow, when he re
news or lifts an old note at the bauk,
how lie tears it into minute fragments
and quickly conoeals them in a cuspid
or or elsewhere, oat of sight? He
doesn't walk up street holding the
aforesaid note at arm's length. Why
doesn't he?"
