KEEP SIDEWALKS FREE FROM SNOW The oitizens who, after the IIUOW »torm on Monday evening, cleaned their sidewalks, displayed oommend able zeal. However, in some portions af the oity others did not show a like enterprise or consideration for the safety of their fellow men. They were negligent, and as a oousequenoe the pedestrian who forgets to eieroiße doe caution is apt to take a tomble. There ■hoold be no exception to the rale in enforolng the sidewalk oleaning ordin ance, and though a disagreeable task to •iforoo it.the Street Commissioner will receive the gratefal aud unqualifi ed endorsement of all good oitizens if he enforocs it to the letter.

Rural Free Delivery. Rural free delivery comes high, but the people must have it, aud whera it has been introduced the publio would be oxtremely loth to return to old oon ditiouß and going a distance iu storm, muddy roads and discomforts of the various seasons, to the postoflice, aud ofton finding no mail for their pains. Postmaster General Wynne.in the cur rent number of The World's Work, gives us some idea of the growth of free delivery in the oouutry. In 1897, when the rural service was started on probation,s4o,ooo was deemed suffi oleut for Its trial. During the fiscal year thit ended June 80, 1904, nearly $15,000,000 was expended for rural free-delivery. For the flaoal year up on which we have now enteral $20,- 810,(100 has been appropriated for the eentinuauce and extension of the rural mail aervioe. There were 24,568 rural routea in existence at the end of the laotl year on June 30th 1a8t,9,4«8 new routea having been put Into operation during the flsoal year. On October 1, 1904, there were 27,135 routes establlsh •d and the service was being extended »♦ the rate of 800 routea a month, Taking 450 people as >n average num ber served on each route (a moderate •atiraate) the rural service In operation October 1,11)0-1,was bringing the mails within easy reach of the homes of 12,- >l>,7*o residents of rural districts. IMPROTE THE RIVER FRONI With the completion of* the now bridge so uear at hand, projlnity own era in that vioinity should begin to conoern themselves iu another import ant matter—the improvement of the river bank. Not rnaoh, if indeed any, work in that direotion oonld be accom plished during this season of the year. Mow, however, is the time to think the matter over and lay plans that oan be carried into effect when spring openi. The Water Commissioners have not ouly been thinking abont what they intend doing in the way of beautify ing their portion of the have taken a pretty long stride towatd the end they have in view. They only await the fuiflllment ot ft promise made thorn by others, before continu ing the good work they have started. Three weeks ago they finished build iua the stone wall which extends dir ectly along the river bank, from their plaut 900 feet to the vaoant lot owned by the ooauty. When the wall was started, the Water Commissioners only lutended to build a sufficient distance to proteot tliir pumps in oaso of high water, but after learning that the County Commissioners were contem plating building a like the abatment of the bridge to IMb west end of the county lot,a distanoS of 48 feet, they deolded to extend their wall the foil length of their lot, aonneoting with the other and forming a solid stone protection to the bank from the Water Works to the bridge. The County Commissioners have nut as yet ereoted their wall, but when they do the Water Commissioners will, as soon a» the weather permitß, carry out the plans they have under consid eration. After removing the old wood en buildtug from the ground,they will fill up all holes,level and grade the lot and thdn transform it into a bower of baauty to be known as the "Water Works Park." Presumably the County Commission ers will after building their wall,tear away the old building that disfigures the plot of ground upon which it stands aud make a flower garden out of the lot, so as to correspond with aud be a portion of tlie pioposed park. At least it is to be hoped so. But there are others who have prop erties abutting on the river bauk,that have improvements to make as well as the two boards of Commissioners. There is plenty of room for such work. It is not nooessary for all to make flower gardens aud parks, but it is ex tremely necessary that all the old eye sores betweeu the bridge and the Silk Mill be removed, and the river front age giveu a moro presentative condi tion. Do it for the pride you have for Danville. sunbury Bridge to be Rebuilt. It is now up to the Commissioners of Nerthumheilaud county to build the bridge between Snnburv and North umberland,carried away by the ice last winter, the property right in whioh has been transferred from the Bridge Company,its original owner,to North umberland oouuty, and through that source it has been declared free. The process by whioh this was brought about commenced on May 2d, when through Attorney Harry Knight oitlzens petitioned for legal proceed ing looking toward the freeing of the bridge and the appointment of view era to appraise the amount that should be paid the company in consideration of the propertv. The viewers upon ex amination of witnesses reported in fav or of a free bridge, fixing the amount to be paid by the county at $13,500. Their report was given to the Grand Jury of the September court, whioh ap proved and accepted it, and as it was required to lay over for a term before the aotiou of the Court, the matter was presented to Judge Savidge on Tuesday, who gave the final approval in making the bridge free and render ing tho county liablo for the rebuild ing of one that was destroyed by the ioe. It is to be hoped that in the in terest of the public the Northumber land County Commissioners will be prompt in the duty that has thus been imposed upon them. This State Leads. Statiatios show that during the sea son which closed Wednesday, Novem ber 30, hunters iu 17 counties of Penn sylvania killed 559 deer. This is the largest number slaiu for many years, and the result places this state among the first in the Union for deer hunt ing. Iu the same period 131 bears were killed and two deer hunters lost their lives. Woodsmen attribute the abundance ot deer this season ohiefly to the pro tection that has been given them by the law limiting the season to the month ot Novembor and preventing the running of them by dogs. Anoth er factor whioh helped the deer,is the fact that the hunter was handioapped by the thick undergrowth whioh in many counties has receully overgrown the timber laud. Canter county loads the state iu point of the number of deer killed, 138 having fallen there within 30 days. 1 Twenty-five bears fell in that county. Clintou county isaeoond with 125 deer slain aud 80 bears. Snow a Benefit. Of muoli benefit was Monday's storm to the farmers of the surrounding oouu try.

Reifsnyder, a well kuowu citizen of tliia place,early Saturday morning was a shock to his liowtH of friends. The tidings were the more startling because of the faot that he had been toeu on the streets the previous day, apparently iu his usual health. Ho was found dead iu bed at tlie home of Harry Fields, his partner in the restaurant business, and with whom he boarded, at 838 Mill street. During the early portion of Friday evening, he had been up town. He returned to the house, and retired at about 8:30, without having complain ed of feeling unwell. Between 6 and 7 o'clock the following morning, Mrs. Fields called him to breakfast. Get ting no reply after repeatedly rapping on the door, she entered the room and found life extinot. A physician was summoned, who after examining the remains, said that Mr. Rellsnyder had been dead for several hours. Death was due to heart trouble, with whioh the deceased had been afflicted for a number of years. Mr. Reifsnyder was a moulder by trade, but last summer he became engaged with Mr. Fields in the restaurant business, whioh was still onoupying his attention when the grim destroyer overtook him. He was 44 years of age, unmarried and a na tive of Tainaqun. When only a boy he came with his parents to Danville,and continued to reside here over since. He Is survived by three brothers and one sister—Thomas aud George, of Dan ville; Alvin, of Altoona, and Mrs. Ellen O. Brause, of New York City. An Old Coin. D. L.and W. station agout J. L. McDonald, of Berwick, will Eend an old coin,for a collector whose name is not given out, to the Director-General of the British Museum, and should he determine that the coin is what it is thought to be,it will have a valuation of |2500 and will be the only gold Tarsus piece of money that has ever been found—the money of the city which was flourishing 700 years B. O. Tlie coin, which is between the Bize of a quarter aud a half dollar,is some what battered but the characters there on are remarkably plain. On the one side is a figure, staff iu hand, seated on a chair, probably a throne, while 1 on the reverse side are pictures of two cows. The piece of money was bought by the owner, a collector of curious, along with some other coins. It is now valued at SISOO. Should it prove to be 1 a pieoe of money of the days of Tarsuß it will be the only gold pieoe of that time that has yet been found. The de scription follows closely that of silver pieces that have been found. The United States Express Company will have full charge of the safety of the coin,delivering it to the Director- General of the British Museum at Lou don ten days henoe, and after ten days have elapsed,calling for it and return ing it to Berwiok, about a month be ing required for the trip. Christmas Preparations. Tlio various ohorohes throughout the town have beguD to arrange special programs for Christmas Day and the Indications are that the event will bo the moat joyous observed in many years for the times havo been fairly prosperous and the people have been liojrding their savings for the merri est day of the year when all Christian ity is inspired with the desire to emu late the example of the three wiae men of the East in present giving.

Never were the prospects so promising for a un iversally cheerful Christmas and nev er was it looked forward to with suoh joyous anticipation aud for that rea- Bon the churches are preparing fitting ly aud elaborately for its coming. Successful Services. The Evangelistic services that oaino to a closo on last Sunday at the Mah oning Presbyterian Chnrch were the most helpful aud successful that have been held in this chnrch in a number of years. Large congregations attend ed the meetings aud listened to the ex - cedent discourses delivered by the - Rev. J. R. Ziegler of Look Haven aud - Rev. J. R.

Mr. Sohoffstall served as a member of the legislature during the 1 timo when Senator M. S. Quay was a candidate for re-election and wag loyal ' to the great Republioan leader, sup • porting him on every ballot. The ap ' pointment is Mr. SohoffstaU's reward aud Senator Penrose by this appoint ment is oarrying out the desire of Quay, who wanted Mr. Bchoffstall to a bo remembered in some substantial ' manner for his faithfulness.— Sunbury 6 Item. t 4 After Information.

BAIN IS BADLY NEEDED It ia reported from all over the conn try that ground and water conditions were never known to be in bo deplor able oondltioo for a freeze-np as now. There is no water in the soil. Farm ers in the West Branch Valley and ad jaoant territory are hauling water for their gtook, some of them drawing it over two miles. The towns of Renovo, Look Haven and Watsontown are on the verge of a water famine. At the former place all the engines on the Philadelphia & Erie Railroad are supplied with wat er, but the supply ia so curtailed that every household Is served with notice not to use a drop of water unnecessar ily. In the Nippanose Valley, a district where because of the phenomenal strata of the rook all streams are under ground, the wells have gone dry, and oave-like apertures 20 feet deep have been opened to afford acoess to the un derground oreoks. These are vory low. In many oases farmers' teams are not employed at anything else than to handle water to keep the stock suppli ed. If a freeze-up oomeß it is feared that what water remains la the oreeks and few Bprlngs will be frozen Bolidly. At Montoursville the mountain re servoir has gouo dry, and the town is being supplied from a big well. Ly comiug and Loyalsook Oreeks, both of whioh are small rivera ordinarily, are down to the volume of small runs. The entire output of MaElhattan Creek has been husbanded and forced into the Lock Haven reservoir, yt>t even this makes the supply so inade quate that the town's authorities are getting ready to pump water directly from the river or Bald Eagle Creek. Altoona has had no such drought sinoe 1887,and everybody Is compelled to husband the water with the closest economy. Wella and Bprings never be fore dry in the paat 30 years have no water in them now. Id Bntler the Bait water overflowing fjoui an oil well ia one of the limited sources of the reservoir's supply ;many of the people have chapped hands and faces, aud many others have been un able to use any water for weeks for laundry purposes' Iu Ave towns of Westmoreland Coun ty, embracing 60,000 inhabitants, the main reservoirs are exhausted and the people are living from hand to mouth on the product of a small mining run, so foul that overy drop of the water they get thorefrom has to be boiled to prevent a plague. In many of the rural districts wells that have been in constant use for 30 years have dried up, and many farmers have been obliged to haul water a con siderable distance for house and stoo k anpply. Springs that have heretofore been nover failing have disappeared. Fields of grain planted fiis fall will have to be replanted next spring. Vicious Assault in Berwick. As the result of a vicious attack made by two men near the Malleable Iron Plant, Alfred Bower lies at liis home on West Front street, Berwiok, ia a very serious condition. There is little doubt but that the objeot of the assault wai robbery. Mr. Bower, who la a driver em ployed by A. J. Lynoh, was driving on Freaae Avenue and had juat turned in to Oak street when one of the ruffians threw a club at him. The other man followed tills with a huge rock, both missilos striking Bower and partially dazing him. To prevent himself from falling from the wagon ho grasped the shaft and traoe. In whioh positiou he was further maltreated. Before he oould be removed from the vehicle the horse took fright and ran out Oak atreet, carrying the in jured man out of reaoh of his assail anta. It waß not until the horse had run a considerable distance that Mr. Bower recovered sufficiently to handle the reins. He managed to drive to the office of Or. E. L. Davie where he re ceived medical attention. His ear is badly torn and lacerated, aud the whole upper part of his body ia shock ingly bruised. After removing him to his iiome his shoulders,arms aud body became partly paralyzed; ao that it is thought hla injuries are of a more ser ious nature than was at first expected. The asaailanta are known to be Am ericana who no doubt made the attack in the vioinity of the Malleable Iron Worka ao that the blame for the crime would fall on the Italian elemeut residing in thia diatilot. May Qet You Into Trouble. The|praotico of writing just a few wordß in a package of papers or of merchandise mailed at a lower rate than letters is said to have become so common that postmasters have been instructed to examino such packages and report to the department officials. The coat of proseoution in the United States distriot oourt and a One of twenty-five dollars would be as small a penalty as the sender could escape with. Removing to Danville.

FIREMEN ELECT OFFICERS The Danville Fire Department held its annual election of a Chief aud as sistant chiefs at the Friendship hose house, Saturday eveuiug. It rosulted as follows: Chief, Edward Purpur of the Friend ship Company ; first assistant, Willard Fetterman, Washington Hose Com pany ; second assistant, William lies. Good Will Hose Company ; third as sistant, John Ward, Continental Hose Company; fourth assistaut, Harry Rupp, Friendship The board having charge of the election consisted of Chief Sherwood, Archie Hummer, Thompson Jenkins and John Waite. The department at the beginning of the present year, starts out under bright and favorable auspices. It is in a good financial condition and well equippe I for fighting the fiery ele ment, both as to tho stalwart, willing men of which it is composed and the apparatus at its ccmmand. Of the fire men little need be said. They are coo well known to require an extended eulogy. The record they have made in the past is sufficient testimony of their worth aud ability. During the year just closed they have responded frequently to the call of duty and at the risk of their own safety, saved many thousands of dollars worth of property from destruction. Not enough can be said of such heroism. Men who will, without thought of recompense, save the pleasure it affords them to know that they have faithfully per formed their duties, voluntarily en dangered their lives Dy facing devour ing flames and falling walls aie com posed of the metal of which true and unselfish heroes are composed. It is of such meu that the Danville Fire De partment is made. They are willing, capable and experienced,and they nev er flinoh or hesitate when their ser vices are needed. National Guard at Inauguration. The question whether the National Guard of Pennsylvania shall attend the inauguration of President Roose velt in March is already exciting the men and is the principal topio of dis oussion at the armories. It is the in tention of uie committee in charge to make it the occasion of a hig military display and no big military display is comple'e without the Pennsylvania troops. It has already been demonstrated that an inaugural procession without them is a tame affair and so they want the Keystone division. The rank and file ard many of the officers aro anx ious togo but there aro others not so anxious. It has become the fashion at recent inaugurations to make ail sorts of charges against the Pennsylvania troops and, though 99 per cent, of these charges are either lies out ot the wholo cloth or the deputations w< re committeed by others than Penusyl vatiians, Pennsylvania has had to stand tl o brunt bef< r<* tho general public,solely tnoause it is fashionable to muk j suc i olia r gß4.

Many persons aro busy n)wadays selecting and buying suitable tokens of friendship for the little ones, and old ones, too. In this connection the News reminds one and all that there aro a number of cheerless homes in every community where poverty ex ists, and presents are unknown. Let all who have been abundantly blessed with this world's goods devote a slight portion of thoir means to oarry good cheer and sunshine into the homes of the poor on the coming glad Christmas day.

SHOPPING Merry Christmas, that hallowed day to which children and grown people so longingly look forward with bright ] and glowing anticipation of what it has in store for them, will soon be here, with all its pleasing and aacred aasooiations. One feels its approach in the air. Everything denotes it. Nature's pure white robe, emblematic of the Saviour whose birth we'oelebrate,proclaims it; the sparkling eves and laughing voioes of ohildhood reveala it, and all hu manity hears its steady advancement aud heralds witii joy the oomiug of the festive holiday time," When Peaoe on Earth, Good Will to Men," reigns supreme all over this fair laud. This fact should cause all olasses of people to rejoice and give thankß that this ia an appreciative oouutry.a pros perous country, a country that every year demauda more than it did the year before, whioh proves It Is a pro geassive country.

Nowhere is the fact that the holidays are near at hand demonstrated more clearly than in the shops. Visit those in Danville and prove the aaailtion trne. The show windows will he ablaze with color. Silks, jew els, new weaves and textures, cut glaas, paintings, marvelous pottery, silver and gold effects are seen in lav ish confusion. Thouasnds have been invested. The utilities are there. The things that people must have are to be found in ,lmost endless profusion, and many more dollars have been expened ed in novelties that appeal to eye aud ear and comfort until one marvels at the buaineaa daring of these men of the stores, who have ao muoh faith iu their judgment of what the people will buy that they have swept the warehouses of the country. Every year the demand grows. People waut more and better things to eat, to wear, to amuse. The people have the money and the merohants are going to interest them and give them what they want and will purohase. Our merchants have done their part. j It is inconceivable that there could be ! a reasonable human want that the j stores of Danville could not supply. i This holiday season is marked by the ! new things that await the publio. I They show a wealth of ideas aud hu man ingenuity that should make the average citizen proud of his race. Aud he should also be proud of the I fact that uowhero on the fiice of the earth do the plain p ople onjoy a great- j or shbre of those good thiugs that are ; to be found iu the stores right here.
