CIDER MILL JS_CROWDED The older making season is now at lti height and a < lalt to Hoover Bros' modern hydranlio press proves very in teresting and shows that this firm is having a fair share of the business. The aeason opened some three weeks ago. Hoover Bros, have not been kept as busy as dnring some former seasons owing to the partial failure of the ap ple orop. Just at present the farmers are pioklng their apple and the best use that oan be made of the on lls and those blown from the trees by the wind is to make oider of them. Just now, therefore, the time is well oc cupied at tho oider press and yesterday there was aoarcely an hoar when two or three loaded wagoiiß were not a waiting their tarn. The maximum daily prodnct of Hoover Bros' press is some 3,800 gallons. Three thousand gallons or even less is considered a good duty's work. The apples seen at the press yester day were large and Insoions revealing no signs of inferiority. A pecnliarity of the yield this year seems to be that one orchard prodnoes well, while the one on the farm adjoining or those on several farms near bear only a partial orop or have no apples at all. Never theless in the aggregate a largo quant ity of apples will be thrown npou the market. When the orop is a large one enormoos quantities of apples goto waste. Allowing for a shortage this year should apples be properly taken oare of the orop will probably be large enough to satisfy all demand. A Good Point. The Clearfield Kepublioan hits it in the following: "Every business man in a town, big or little, is directly in jured by the lioensing of tho fakirs who hold forth on the street corners. Whether the fakir sells a paper of pins or a bottle of worm medicine, he iB taking mouev out of the towu that would naturally be expouded at home." OVER ROUTE B. & N. ROAD Financiers Viewed Route of Ber wick & Nanticoke Road. In ooenpany with Charles W. Miller, presidont of the Berwick & Naiiticoke Eleotrio Railroad, well kuown Phila delphia trolley financiers went ever part of the route of the Berwick & Nantiooke Eleotrio Railroad with an idea of determining npon the construc tion of the road. Particular attention was paid lo that part of the road whioh will he built In Berwlok,West Berwick,Bi iar Creek and Salem, the purpose being, stated Mr. Miller, to give that seotiou the beat possible trolley aocommodatione, working aB they will in conjunction with the Columbia & Moutour Com pany, who will also extend their lines In that aeotion. Mr. Miller stated that the outlook la now bright for the early financing of the road, but he atatod that those who had placed their money in the enter prise did not yet oare to have it known who would back the enterprise. His attention was called yesterday to a story emanating from Wilkes- Barro to the elfeot that tho oompany proposed building tho road with a third rail system, with the plant of the company at Berwiok, aud farther statiug that Wilkes-Barre capitalists were largely Interested therein. In re ply he stated that no third rail system waa considered.—Bloomsburg Proas. Low Rates and Special Trains to Bloomsburg Via Reading Railway.

Commander James Tanner. ■Tames Tauuer, now commander iu chief of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, is one of the most energotio veter ans of the oivil war, despite the fact that he lOBt both legs at the second battle of 801l Hun. Born on a farm in Soholiarie conutj, N. Y., sixty-one yeare ago, Mr. Tanner enlisted in the Federal aiuiv at the age of seventeen the first year of tho oivil war, and participated in the battles of Williams burg, Fair Oaks, Yorktown, the seven days' fight before Richmond, Bristow Station and Manassas Junction. In August, 1802,he was so badly wounded that both of his legs were amputated below the iinoe. He was taken prison | erin that condition, bnt was exchang ed in a few days. After the war he was admitted to the bar and held sev eral state or government positions,the principal ono being that of pension commissioner, whioli he admiuistered from March 1889, to October of the same year. After leaving the pension office he devoted fifteen years to prac ticing law and working for more lib eral pension for old soldiors. In April, 1904,h0 was appointed legister of wills of the Distriot of Colombia by Presi dent Roosevelt. Since 18(57 Corporal Tanner has been an active member of the G. A. R. Iu thirty years he has not missed a na tional encampment and as a member of the order's national committee on pensions ho seonred tho paHsago of laws raising the pensions of all federal soldiers who had lost both arms or legs or both oyos from $72 to SIOO per , month. For years Mr. Tanner has been a poor sleeper.and he rarely goes to bod before 1 o'clock, for the reason that he has lncossant paiu in his two amputated legs. Daring his years of work for men who wore tho blno he has douo what he oonld for those who 1 wore the gray.

Ignored Many Bills. Tlie grand jury, whioh acted during the reoent term of conrt iu Sanbury, ignored sixty hills, or just ouo-third of the entire trial. This is the record for ignoring bills.

COMPANY F BEGINS DRILLS There has been but little doin' among the Guardsmen siuoe returning from the National encampment in July but they aro now getting ready for a strenuous winter's work. The first drill of the season will be held on Thursday evening. The coming wiuter is going to leave the National Guardsmen little time for play. In the first place the boys have never yet attained peifeotion in drills under the change In drill regula tions. The change was made late last spring, and owing to the work that was required to got ready for enoamp nient it was impossible to give mooh attention to drills during the summer. The inspection at camp was not of a sort to reveal wherein the Quardsmen foil short of what was roqnired under tho now regulations. But the Bpring inspection will be rigid enough to bring out all imperfections and if the members of Company K, of tho 13th, want to make a showing that is half creditable they will have to attend drills regularly. In order that the new work may be mastered Colonel Clement has deter mined that drills must be attended regularly by all the members of the different Companies. In order to bring übout perfect attendance oourt-martial may be rosortod to as is now done with excellent results in other regiments of the Guard. It is at least safe to pre dict that hereafter absentees without cause will be severely doalt with. Tho members of Company F have abandoned hopes of eecnring a State Armory for Danville at any time in tho near future. It is thought that Milton will be one of the first to come in for an armory rudor the new Aot. However, Danville's claims aro not neglected atul Captain J. Boavor Gear hart of Company F, at the present time is in correspondence with the roceutly appointed Armory Board rela tive to the matter, PENNSYLVANIA'S STATE POLICE Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Men and Officers. Governor Pennyacker is said to be taking spocial interest in tho organiza tion or the new state police force. Under the law the foioo will confiißt of 225 policemen and officers and Cap tain John C. Grcome.of Philadelphia, who has been appointed at its head, and who has just returned from Ire land, where he has been inßpeoting the royal constabulary, one of the most efficient bodies of tho kind In Its phy sical prowess, has promised that tho Pennsylvania force shall bo recrnited among the most reputable and com petent men that can be obtained for the service. Tho duties of the state constabulary will bear pretty IUUGII (lie same rela tion to the commonwealth that the duties of policomon and detectives do to a city. Thoy will particularly en force the stain laws that hitherto have been difficult to execute, 00-operato with local officers when necessary, protect aountry roads and put down the kinds of disorder or tumult wliioh the militia has usually been summon ed to suppress when local authortity has been powerless. It is thought that with SQCII a sys tem it will nut bo necessary hereafter to employ private bodies of men like the "coal and iron police"for the pro tection of property against mobs, al though it is doubtful whether the new constabulary will be large onougli, as now constituted, to deal with some of the emergencies which arise in the coal mining districts and other in dustrial regions. But so far as it may tend to pot an end to the practioe under which police power iu tho hands of armed men is exercised priv ately, it is thought by many to be a stop in the right direotion. Will Visit Chestnut Orove. U. K. Sober,of Lewisburg, will have as his guests, 011 Thursday and Friday, a distinguished state party, the objeot of whoso coming is to visit and in spect Mr. Sober's famous chestnut farm in Irish Valley, near Shaniokin.

GREAT CHANGES INJOAD LAW By an aot of assembly approved April 12, 1905, • radioal and import ant ohango lifts been made in tlie mat ter of oaring for roads in all town ships of the seoond class in this com monwealth. As ftvery township in Uontonr ouuuty is a township of the second olass, the act is especially in teresting to onr oitlzens. Instead of electing two supervisors at the next February eleotiou, throe will be ohos en. one for one year, and one for two years and one for three years. They will meet for organization on the first Monday in March after their eleotion, and will eleot one of their nnmber as chairman, and one as sec retary. They will also choose a trea surer, who shall not be of their nnm ber. It will be their doty to immedi ately levy a road tax. This body of supervisors shall take no active part, personally, in the care of the roads of their respeotive town ships. Their duties are to organize, levy the tax, divide the townsliips up into road districts, with not less than five miles of road to each distriot. They shall employ a roadmaster for each of tiiese districts, whose duty it shall bo to work upon the road him self, and see that the roads in his dis triot are oared for aooording to the specifications furnished him by the three supervisors. This roadmaster must give bond if required to do so by the supervisors, and is at all times subject to romoval by the supervisors of the township. The oontrol of the roadmaßters, the employment of laborers, the purchase of scrapers, plows,stone orusliors,roll ers, and other road machines are in the hands of the three supervisors, who shall meet once a month for the tran saction of business, being allowed necessary expenses. They shall uot be interested in any work done.pnrohaßOß made, or contraots relating to roadß and bridges, nor are they allowed to furnish anv materials therefor. Under this same aot, it IB provided that upon petition of at least twenty five taxpayers iu auy township, an election shall be authorized by the court of quarter sessions, to be held at the ensuing February eleotiou, to paßs upon the question of whether the road tax in that particular township shall be worked oat as heretofore, or shall be paid in cash. As an inducement to pay the road tax in cash,it is provided that in every township whioh shall be favorable to paying the tax iu cash the three supervisors shall make a 'sworn statement to the highway com missioner before the fifteenth day of Maroli In oach year, showing the amount of tax assessed, as well as the amount collected. Upon rcoeipt of such statement, the said highway commis sioner is required to draw a warrant opon the state treasury in favor of the said township for the payment of fif teen per oent. of the amount so col lected for the use of the township fur nishing BUOII statement. It will tliuß be seen tlint every pos sible safeguard is thrown around the oare of the publio roa Is, and that the system laid down in this act ought to be productive of much good. Tlionght ful and progressive citizens iu the country districts have always deplored the wasteful methods of road repair ing and road construction under the old system Too many men regarded it aB quite proper to do a great deal of "soldiering" when nominally work ing oat their road tax. Iu very many cases a large amount of tax was usod up under the old system with very lit tle results to show for the same. Under the law as it now stands, it will require a vory few energetio and competent roadmasters iu eacli town ship, with funds at thair command, to keep the roads in uiuoh better condi tion than heretofore. Rightly admin istered any township that electa to pay its road tax in money can by this method make every dollar of the tax payers' money worth |1.15 to the town ship, and, moreover, a definite system of road specification can easily b» put iuto practice and carriod out from year to year in a manuor not hereto fore possible. If the best oitizena iu the various townships will sacrifice the time to servo under this new law until the system is fairly inaugurated, aud un til Buooessful elections are held all over the oouuty to make the road tax a money tax, groat results will be ac complished in a few yearß in Montour county,in the way of good roads. This is a subject worthy of the earnest and thoughtful consideration of every resi dent of the rural districts iu the en tire state of Pennsylvania. The young New Yorker who obtain ed securities amounting to (350,000 oil a forged check was caught but lie showed up tlie fallaoy of the surface methods of some New York banks.

NEW YOM DANVILLE DEFEATED JfJERWICK. The game of base ball atßerwiokon Saturday was a feast of base lilts in which Berwick excelled, and consequ ently smothered our aggregation of ball tossers to the tuue of 15 to 4.

The fusillade was continuous throughout the game as Berwick failed in only one inning to hit safely. McOloud had it about right after tbe game when he rendered to the amusement of the by standers, a few lines from the popular song "I got miuo." Danvilie did some hitting themselves as the score shows 10 hits to their oredit, but ill almost every instance the hits were luade when no moil were on the bases and did uot rosult In runs.

So serious has the situa tion become that the New York Cent ral. Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio have issued orders prohibiting the nse of their oars oxcept for the transpora tiou ot coal on thoir own lines or for the shipment of consignments originat ing on their roads and intended for immediate delivery ou some oouneot ing line. The shortage on the Penn sylvania road is so great that bitumin ous operators in Central Pennsylvania have been compelled to restrict their production. Withiu the last fow days transportation offices of the Keadiug aud Pennsylvania liavo beeu besieged by mine operators bogging more oars. They are plaoinglheir car orders for weeks ahead, but are giveu no assur ance oxcept that nil shall share alike in the supply of cars as they accumu late each day. The apportionment is made in proportion to the production of each company and eaoli operator is doing his best to increase his share of available oars. The same scenes are enacted around the New York Oentral office and if the desired oars were for thcoming the Beech Oreek distriot wonid be doing a record breaking busi ness. Ic is bi-lioved that this unusual transpoitatiou of coal is in anticipa tion of a strike, fcr wliioh the ooal companies aie preparing by unusual storage. TRAINING DOGS Ji HUNTING. A. E. Seidel.of Derry township, has adopted a vocation, whioh while probably not without a parallel, yet borders ou the unique. Mr. Seidel's business is that of training hunting dogs and he is suoceediug admirably. As might be implied, Mr. Seidel trains pointers and setters to beoome useful in the pursuit of game by developing in them that instinot whioh causes the dog in the first instance to stop at the scent of game aud with iti uote to point it out to the sportsman and in the seoond iustauoe to ludioate the whereabouts of the wild fowl by as suming a fixed position, either bv standing, sitting or crouching. The business must be a most diffi cult one, requiring uot only patience but natural ability of a very high order coupled with a profound know ledge of dogs in geueral. At the same time it should be noted that the doga entrusted to Mr. Seidel are the most finely bred iu the world, hailiug from all parts of Pennsylvania and even from Ohio and other neighboring States. Included in the lot being train ed at present is a dog belonging to A. J. Oassatt. President of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, which is valued at S2OOO. During neatly the entire summer Mr. Seidel had some 25 dogs under his oare. The place where this traiuing is in progress is ou the Washingtonville road, adjoining the well knowu St. Olair farm. The visitor to the premiaea may be surprised to hear a perfeot ohorus of barkiug iu the direction of the barn, indicating the presence of dogs galore. An investigation will show that there are no cattle, at least to speak of, in the big baru, but that the stalls are filled witli dogs of sever al kinds. lu training Ills dogs Mr. Seidel lias 1110 privilege of using some four bun dled aores of laud embracing his own place and adjoining traots. He has been quite busy for four montlit past, but now that the limiting season IB ap proaching he is getting ready to ship the dugs buck to their owners. Mr. Seidel has twelve years exper ience and is veiy widely known as a dog fanuier and trainer and not only are tho most valuable <logs in the coun try entrusted to his care, but the fees that he receives are iu mauy instances something to be proud of. Coffee Consumption in U. S. The monthly Summary of Oommeroe and Finance cou tains a most exhaustive history of the culture, pruduotion and consumption of the ooffee berry th roughout the world. This is followed by like histories of toa and oaaao Ex perienced writeis have contributed to this work ; and there seotDß to be noth ing wanting in the historical review or iu the voluminous statistics that acoompnny it. For its preparation much credit is due to Mr. O. P. Aus tin,the able statistician at the head of the bureau. But we have room here only for a brief notice of the coffee trade aud consumption of the United States. In 1904, tho latest date to whioh statistics are brought down, the total oousuuiptioii of ooffi e by the Ameri can peuple amounted to 960,879,000 pounds, or nearly two-fifths of the worlds' production for that year. To this consumption Brazil alone contri buted 741,758,798 pounds of the value of $48,082,223. The Ropublios of Col ombia, Venezula aud Mexico together supplied 159,445,153 pounds, valued at $12,251,271. This loaves not quite 40,000,000 pounds as the contribution of Asia, Africa and other regions. Muoh is said (iu grooers' advertisements) of the great consumption of Mocha and Java In the Uuiteil States. But a re ference to the returns of trade shows that iu 1904 the total importation of coffee from the Dutch East Indies amounted to only 11,730,352 pounds. A little more, amounting to 1,307,502 pounds, drifted in from Amsterdam. This would hardly leave mauy berries of the savory Java coffee to taoh la habitant of the United States. Muoh that goes for Java comes from other countries than the Dutoh East Indies. As for the Arabiau berry, the Moolia, the returns of trade do not give evi dence of its importation. Not muoh of it iu fact,gets beyond Constantinople. This exhibit shows that if the ooffee supply of Brazil should give out the deprivation would be seriously felt by the cousumors iu the United States. While tho per capita consumption of the United Kingdom in 1904 was only .67 of a pound, that of this oountry was 11.75 pounds. But the production of the strong, dark "Rio" of Brazil ap pears to keep steady paoe with the world's growing demand.
