THIEVES BREAK
INTOJARM HOOSE
The farm house of Milo Reed above
Boyd's Station was iuvaded by thieves
Sunday night. They, howover, left
ouly a slight trace behind and took no
booty.
Mr. Keed was spending the day at
Berwiok. When evening arrived Mrs.
Reed and tho tost of the household left
for ohuroh, closing up the house in
the usual manner. When they return
ed they were confronted with unmis
takable evideuce that thieves had gone
through the house. Mr. Reed and his
family,howover,like wise people make
it a practioo to keep as little as possi
ble about the house that thieves might
covet. Eveu the safe, although gen
erally looked, oontains nothing more
valuable than books and papers. It
could not be ascertained that any ar
ticles were missing beyond soine eat
ables in the oellar.
The burglars evidently otfected an
entrance through one of the windows,
in whioh a fly screeu was inserted and
the shutters of which were bowed and
fastened iu that position. On return
ing from churoh Mrs. Reed found the
fastening with whioh the shutters
were seoored broken aud the shutters
themselves wide open, while the fly
screen stood edgewise iu the window.
Ground was also found about the floor
where it had dropped from the shoes
of the thieves. The safe, whioh all
seem sore was closed whon they left
the house, wu found open, although
its contents not being of a sort to
tempt burglars were undisturbed. In
the oellar were found also evidences
that thieves had been on the premises.
The affair following closely ou tho
heels of the daring hold-up in Pine
Swamp Hollow, Thursday, has caused
a great deal of anxiety among tho
farmers on tho South side of the river,
as no one knows at what point tho
robbers may operate uext. It is safe
to say that Mr. Reed's house will he
impregnable hereafter and that all
over that section the farmors will bo
on the alert. Some iu market yester
day were heard to desoribo the prcoau
tiou that they have employed. In most
instances the family shot gun well
loaded and kept handy is relied upon,
while in not a few cases the mere
effective revolver is just now kept
within easy reach to proteot the house.
FINDING OF BODY HAY
DISCLOSE A MURDER
From present indications, the find
ing of the mangled body of an un
known man near Lewistown, on the
Peunsylvauia Railroad tracks, Monday
morning, wilt result in a murder son
satiou.
The man had apparently boon run
down by a passenger train, and had
been dragged a mile.
Along tfrie tracks iu the ditch, 200
yards from where the body had been
first struck, was found a pool of blood
aud a blood soaked handkerchief, club
with blood marks ou it, and ovidence
in the ciudors of a scuflle. Although
the trail oould not bo traced, it is
thought the tuau was murdered aud
thrown in front of au east houud pass
euger train to hido the evidenoe of the
orimo.
■T. O. liarshbarger, a track walker,
identified the remains as being those
of a man to whom lie was talking at
midnight at Horniugford Station. Ho
saya the stranger was in company with
another man and that both were slight
ly under the influence of liqnor, and
spoke of being en route to some nur2-
boron Fifth street, Reading, Pa.
Tlio dead limn was of medium build
and height, smooth of faoe.wilh black
hair and eyes, and was dressed iu a
blue sergo suit, percale shirt and pat
ent leather shoes. Everything on hiß
poison was neat and oleau, and he had
the appearance of being a man of good
oiroumatances. Although tlio lid of a
jewelry box was found In liia pocket,
and an Eagle button was on liia coat,
the box and its contents were missing
aud liia official receipt,without wliioh
no Eagle travels, waa also missing.
NEW JOURNAL
WAS INSTALLED
The uew journal to tako the placo of
the one accidentally linrnod out at the
eleotrio light plant waa completed by
Carry & Company yesterday afternoon
and at once installed iu its plaoe. In
order to insure that itfilfed the bill in
every respect the plant was started up
and run for two houia. Nothing 03-
curred to iudioate any defect.
Accordingly the plant WHB started
up last evening anil we had electrio
light during the night,wliioh was most
highly appreciated imlood after the
trying experience of the oouple of
nights preoeding, when the streets
were without a jay of light anil it waa
next to Impossible without the aid of
a lantern to find one's way anywhere
about town. It is unfortunate that the
■nißhap should liavo occurred just at a
time when there is no moon iu the
sky.
The accident illustratea tlio necessity
of having two dynamos so that when
anything happens one of tliem the oth
er oan be thrown on and the liglfts
kept burning. It is not improbable
that another dynamo will he installed
by aud by. To leave the town iu total
darkness might prove a serious tiling
under some circumstances.

THE FIRST DAY
J SCHOOL
The public schools of the Borough
Monday afternoon opoued 'with 1145
pupils enrolled, which is oonsidorod
very nearly normal. In the High
School there are 147 puplis. In the
four grammar schools the following
numbers aro enrolled : First Ward, 40;
Second Ward, 84; Third Ward, 25;
Fourth Ward, 19. In all the lower
grades the rooms were well filled
Borough Superintendent Oordy lust
ovening stated that there are still pu
pils to oome In. Home of these are
absent under the mistakon idea that
their presenoe will not oount during
the first few days of sohool, when the
time is largely devoted to outlining
the work and imparting of the pupils
as definite an idea as possible to what
is to bo douo and what methods are to
be employed during the term. Thoso
pupils who miss this essential part of
the instruction will find later on that
they are laboring under a serious
handicap, the effect of whioh will be
apparent in the geueral result. The
pupil, therefore, who desires to make
a good showing during the term had
better get Into sohool without the loss
of a single additional day.
At the olo»e of yesterday's session
Borough Superintendent Gordy held a
teachers' meeting in the First Ward
Grammar school room. The teachers
after their vaoation have gone back to
their tasks invigorated and full of
hope. In the group were seme strango
faces; for in addition to theprinoipal
ship of the High Sohool filled by Prof
essor Taylor there were three other
vacanoies which are tilled as follows:
Third Ward Grammar school, Prof
essor J. H. Sha^(; Second grade, First
Ward.Uiss Bertha Miller; Welsh Hill,
Miss Alice Smull. Professor Shaw,
who last year was prinoipal of the
Nescopeck schools, comes to Danville
vory highly reooinmendod. That he is
a teacher of experience, well equipped
for his work is already quite mani
fest. He will undoubtedly succeed in
his new field.

FRENCH PRAISE
THE PRESIDENT
PARIS,Aug. 30.—The French news
papers thi/ morning devote lengthy
and eulogistic editorials to President
Roosevelt. Tho President is the hero
of the hoar—indeed little mention is
made of Emporor Nicholas. The
" Matin" says :
"Roosevelt is tho great victor. He
forued the belligerents who wore
strangling ono andflier to moot on
neutral grounds with the same tran
quility that he displayed on the eve of
the battle at the head of his Rough
Riders. Ha tackled the respective
delegates of the belligerent parties,
faoing Japan cupidity and Russian in
fatuation, with the same disdain for
diplomatic usages as whon he was
charging the trenohes with his slouch
hat on the ground and a white hand
kerchief around his neck. He is the
great victor of this battle of giants."
The "Petit Journal" says: "All
honor is due to President Roosevelt.
As the promoter of this conference, lie
is a benefactor to humanity."
The "Petit Parisian" says:"The
result is due to one man, President
Roosevelt. The Russians and Japanese
and the whole world owe a debt of
gratitude to him."
The "Figaro" sayH:' "Japan has
shown moderation iu tier lioor rt vic
tory. Klin understood that a peace
which humiliates oauaot be » laating
peaoe.''
Oil Bias says:"The Russians were
beaten unceasingly anil eould not con
tinae the war. Peace had to bo sign

its conclusion "
A Pointer for School Boys.
An exchange givos boys tlie follow
ing tip: A home that is a fast walker
doea not have to trot ao ninoii. Did
our boys ever notioo that ? Well, it ia
much the same with boya. A hoy who
walks right op to and with his work
—keeps abreast with his duties, lias a
much more pleasant time than the boy
who is always lagging to the rear. A
hoy most in some shape or other, do
his share, and if he persists in poking
along whenevor the eye of the in
structor is on something else, he most
be made to trot to catch with the
fast, even walker who finds his work
easy and pleasant beoauso ho never al
lows it to get ahead of him. Take a
lot of hoys together and the fellow
who trios to do tlio least has much the
hardest time of any. The hoy who has
the easiest time is the one who peels
off his ooat and ataita right in with
the determination of doing well and
promptly the work that ia assigned to
him to do.

Fully a hundred visiting ministers
holding charges in tho distinct over
whioh Rev. Baldwin presided,were in
attendance to pay their iasc sad trib
utes of respect and honor to all that
was earthly of a man who had through
his loving sympathy, kind and loyal
disposition, intogrity of purpose, and
unfaltering zeal in tho prosecution of
his labors, won confidence
apd esteem or his fellow-laborers in
the great work of the church and hu
manity.
Tears wore prevaleut all over the
audience as,in glowing words of trib
ute and praise,t he speakers enumerat
ed the good works and grand results
of the life of this man of God. His
was a life worthy of emulation, for,
the influence of that lifo will live ou

"Impossible" Port Arthur.
Less than a year ago a fair.ouH mil
itary expert said : "It takes 111011 drunk
with victoiy aud strong and ancient
might to daro tho risk of taking Port
Arthor; human energy and prowess
cannot force it; only madmen would
attempt it."
What prompted such a positive dic
tum from such an anthoritativo source
may he realized from the only authen
tic reproduction in existence of the
great battle-field to he exhibited hy
Lyman H. Howe in Trinity M. K
church 011 Thursday evening, August
81st.
■ This series of moving pictures in
Mr. Howo's new program cannot fail
to Inspire true sensations of the ele
mental contest at the apex of the
world, where two civilizations were
in life and death throes—sensations
and impressions that nothing short of
these graphic, sweeping nnimatod
srenos alono can afford. They begin
where all mere description c uds. Here
is a great army from a warlike nation
equippoi for scientific fighting and
officered by men trained in the world's
best schools; twenty thousand men
driven in a hole; 111011 of the same
blood that defeatod Napoleon, stub
bornly contested Sebastopol, and at
appalling loss of life reduced tile mar
velous Blevna. Pitted against them
is an entirely now world power, an
other army little known and less hon
ored. They are engaged in a mighty
struggle on the grandest battle-field
the world has ever seen.
Only ton neutrals had the hardihood
and pluck to risk their lives daily to
record for history this immemorial
confliot. Only ton ueutrals aro accord
ed tho privilege by tho Japanese Gov
orniuout to do so. Only 0110 of these
ten secured an enduring history of it
in moving pictures, ami this one was
the personal representative of Lyman
H. Howe. Through special facilities
exteudod him because of his indomit
able zeal and personal bravery,by Hur
on General Nogi, he has secured for
Mr. Howe the only absolutely authen
tic reproduction of moving pictures
direct from the firing lines of Port
Arthur. Mr. Howe will neither sill
nor loase them to any oxhibitor or
theatre in America. Tlioy can bo seen
at his own exhibitions exclusively and
form but one of many equally interest
ing scones of world-wido interest in
the new program.
Trash Cans Little Used.
It would seem at times that people
are docidodly careless about the ap
pearance of Mill street, not withstand*
ing that Council has gone to so much
expense and pains to keep the pave
ment clean and presentable.
The aid) cans, intended to be a ro
oeptaclo for papors as well as trash ol
every other sort, last spring were dis
tributed at convenient intervals all
along the street with hope that people
would uso thorn.
For a little while it seemed that
they were put to the propor use hut
by and by people seemed to forget I
what was expected of thciu and now !
tho street often looks about as bad as
it did before the cans wero installed.
Hanana peels aro found lying on tho
pavement exposing persons to danger
of falling, while on windy days news
papers and wrapping paper, dirty and
unsightly in appearance, may be seen
ciroliug about at almost any point.
It might bo well to remind persons
who are negligent in this respect that
they aro violating the law enacted and
approved last wiuter, which provides
a penalty for just suoli offenses as
throwing papers or rubbish of any sort
upon the streets.

PEACH CROP
LARGEST IN YEARS
The curbstone market last Saturday
brought out an enormous quantity of
poaches. Several well known growers
weie interviewed and they all agree
that there is au euormous crop of
peaches, the largest for some five or
| six years past. There will be plenty
of peaeiies, therefore, for everybody,
but just what prioes may prevail is
not so certain.
The fruit is divided into three
grades—large, medium and small. To
these may be added the culls, which
are frequently sold in small boxes aud
aro by no means to be doxpised either
as a luxury or a source of profit. The
large peaches sell at 75 cents per bas
ket, the medium at tts cents aud the
Hinall at 40 cents. The culls sell at
tho rate of 10 conts per half a neck.
Poaches are just now being shoved
on the market in ouormous quantities
the high water marl will probably
be reached this week, although thore
will be peaches iu market until Octo
ber. Tho crop, however, now is at its
best and the fruit is more delicious
tliau it will be later on. Tho heaviest
domaud for peachos is just now on.
Should the latter not prove heavy
enough to absorb the supply the price
will fall; should the opposite bo the
case the price will remaiu as at pres
ent. The result will be watched with
some interest during the next weok or
so.
The prices as quoted above are for
half bushel baskets. In this connec
tion it is worth noting that the pros
pective purchaser iu pricing praohes
should know what kind of baskets are
used. Thore seems to bo no law on
the subject and baskets vary much in
size, designated as 8 quart, 10 quart
aud 12 quart baskets in addition to the
full half a bushel basket. Purchasers
should insist upon the full half bushel
or consent only to prices low in pro
portion.
Among the leading peach growers
who are disposing of their crop at our
curbstone market aro : H. L. DeWitt,
of Walnutdalo; William Metier, near
Klinesgrove ; John Hendricks, Hush
town ; the Purdy larm.Kush township,
tenanted by William Hyan.*There are
good crops elsewhero, for every trse
th is'year seems to bear and there is
scarcely a farm, but lias more or less
poaches to sell.
Large growers like Dr. S. Y. Thomp
son and others sold out their entire
crops to dealers from a distance who
canvassed this fcction some weeks ago
otToring one dollar per bushel in tho
orchard Theso large growers were
wise, as they get rid of their big crop
of poaches without any trouble at a
good profit whereas had they thrown
them on the local market thore would
have been a glut that would have lod
to waste and prices that would have
been a poor return, indeod, for the
risk and labor involved.
Tri.County Picnic on Saturday.
During this weok the farmers will
renew their preparations for tho Tri
Oounty picnic, which, postponed from
the 12th inst.,will be held in DoWitt's
Park on Saturday next. The big pic
nic is being talked of on every side
and indications all poinc to a great
outpouring of people from Montour
county, a large portion of (Jolumbia
aud from the townships of Kusli, Gear
bar t, Point and Chillisquaquo in North
umberland county.
Hon. William T. Creasy along with
other eloquent speakers familiar with
the topics of the farm will address the
farmers. Nothing will be omitted in
the arrangements needed to insure a
good and profitable time. It will be a
picnic.
Elmer E. Porson, editor of the Wil
liainsport Sun, accompanied by his
wife and niece, Mrs. O. W. Hess, of

EAST MARKET
STREET FAVEIENT
Then; are uuermous inquiries HK to
tho status of street paving on East
Market Htreet,wliioh »omo two or three
weeks ago was set down AH an assured
tiling. Up to the present no petition
lias been presented to Council, nor
does it seem that any thing whatever
is being done to get ready for the
work.
Careful inquiry has brought out
facts which seem to make it doubtful
whether East Market street will be
paved—at least this summer. In the
first plaoe there is an orgamzed op
position against paving the street aud
a counter petition'has heeu oiroulated.
Just how many signers it lias is not
kuown* as neither of the petitions has
as yet been presented to Oonnoil.
Those in favor of paving insist that
at the present time thore are enough
signers to carry tho proposition
through. At the same time it was
ioarned from a reliable sonroe yester
day that complications of a rather
troublesome nature relating to the
cost of the work have arisen which ig
bound to cause considerable dolqy.
The same authority admitted that
things at present do not look favor
able for paving the street.
Time is passiug rapidly. Even
though all difficulties were to be
speedily and satisfactorily adjusted it
is doubtful whether the work could be
got under way before late in Septem
ber and the period intervening be
tween that and winter wonld bo en
tirely too short to complete the pave
ment. It is pretty safo to conclude
therefore that East Market stroet will
not be paved this veai.
Vacancies Perplex Officials.
Tho death of Rev. Amos S. Bald
win, Presiding Elder of the Danville
Distriot, and tho election of Or. W.
P. Evoland, pastor of the First M. E.
church, of Rloomsburg.as President of
the Williainsport Dickinson Seminary,
have caused two vacancies which aro
giving the church authorities much
concern. Just how tlioy will bo filled
is not yet known. A number of the
leaders feel that- the Rloomshurg vac
ancy and the presiding eldership should
be supplied by substitutes until tho
conference next spring They argue
that if one change is made a number
are likely to follow, and all will be
among the most important ohurclies in
the conference.

a poiiod covering over two years lint
his condition did not become alarm

BELIEVE CASH IS
FACTORf TREATY
PORTSMOUTH, N. H . Aug. 80.—
There is a growing suspicion that Rus
sia has agreed to pay to Japan a sum
of money in lien of a cash indemnity.
Upon what it is based or how largo
the amount cannot of courso be learn
ed.
Thoro was a very significant featore
of yosterday's conference of tho en
voys that has almost been lost sight
of. It was the dismissal of the secre
taries during certain deliberations ov
er some of tho Japanese demands which
had boon left Open from a previous
meeting.
Why this secrecy should have been
maintained if it was a olear case o
the delivery of an ultimatum and its
acceptance is a mystery incapable of
solution at this time. It is uudorstood
that the envoys deliberated iu the
strictest privacy for over an hour.
Another ffuspicious feature is the
smoothness with which the negotia
tions were conducted on a question
whioh has been the stumbling block
since the first meeting, namely that of
indemnity. From the most accurate
roports it appears that M. Witte laid
down an ultimatum whioh was ac
cepted promptly, by the Japanese en
voys.
This may have been duo to the fact
that tho Japaneso had become thor
oughly convinced that further parley
o% this dispute demand would be
futile.
The Japaneso envoys- yestorday en
tored into a traffic arrangemont with
tho Russians whereby direct connec
tions will be established between the
Chinese Eastern railway which is uow
Japanese property and the Siberian
Manchuriau railroad, whioh belongs
to Russia in order to provide through
transportation for freight and pass
ongers.
It hardly seems possible that any in
demnity could be uonooaltftl in that ar
rangement but it must bo remomborert
that equal treatment of Russia on the
eastern Chinese railway would prove
a valuable concession for whioh it is
not improbable that Rusisa would be
willing to pay handsomely. The ori
ental mind is a crafty ono. Then again
tho exact details relative to the un
derstanding readied on tho rail road
demand is being hedged about witii
more or loss secrecy.
It is hardly probable that snoh an
arrangement will be written into the
treaty but it is quite possible, in the
opinion of some observers, that at a
future dato it may bo found that Japan
is obtaining from Russia financial ad
vantages which while of groat value
have not been disclosed at tins con
ference.
Fast Run to Sunbury.
The fastest run evor mado on the S.
11. <& W. branch of the Ponnsy was
accomplished Saturday hetweon South
Danville and Sunburv by tho noon
passenger train with Thomas Attig,
the well-known ongiueor.at the throt
tle.
The train due to arrive at South
D.inv'llo at 12:10 was twenty-nine
minutes late, whioh was a serious cir
cumstance as thoro wore on board two
passengers who wanted to take the
Buffalo flyer at Sunbury. The usual
time between South Danville and Sun
bury is twenty minutes hot in order
to connect with the flyor on Saturday
it would bo necessary to make tho dis
tance in about one-half of that time.
This then was the task that Engi
neer Attig started out to accomplish.
Some of our tow lspeople along with
Chief Burgess W. T. Shepporson of
Riverside, who were on hoard were
unprepared for tho rate of speed at
whioh thoy wore yanked along over
the rails. Thoy were not surprised
later ou loaruing that the distance be
tween the South Danville Station and
tho DY. tower at Snubury, eleven
miles, was covered in just eleven min
utes. The train connected with the
flyer all right.
Miss Grace Haupt and Miss Harriet
Orscer, of Sunbnry, spent Saturday in
this city, as tho guests of Miss Rolla
Adams, Front street.

APPLE CROP
A FAILURE
■ Many of the farmers throughout
Montour County have completed dig
ging their potatoes and their reports
as to tho yield would indicate that the
crop will bo something less than a full
one. The potatoes yielded by a single
hill aro fewer in number than for some
years past; neither are they large in
size. This • boars out tho prediction
made a month or so ago when the
vines showed signs of dying prema
turoly and a blight was afTeoting the
fields.
All the other crops of the farm,
huwevor, with the singlo exception of
apples, promise a luxuriant yield and
tho season on the whole promises to be
one in which the farmer will do well.
The apple orop according to all ac
counts will be a miserable failure. A
well known farmer yesterday stated
that so tar as he had observed through
jut Montour county the apple* will b
much less than half a crop—probably
loss than a quartrr of a yield.
