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."

Mr. Miller stated that the outlook la

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

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

The party will be composed of Qov

that Governor Pennypacker has long

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.

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.
McOloud was on the slab for Dan
ville and that he remained there for
nine iunings was no fault of the A. O.
&F. boys for they waded right into
him from the start aud when the dust
had settled at the close of the first in
ning the score showed four rnus and
four hits on the Berwick page of the
oflioial score boik, and one of the hits
was a semi oiroler by Smith. 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. Danville lost the game bocauso
they wore ontb-ited aud outfielded
from start to finish.
Now aB to Sweouey the tenth man,
Known usually as the umpiro. In Sat
urday's ooutest it was uot necessary
for him to display his ability as a
game suatcher, but merely to keep
himself in trim, ho made a few hair
raising decisions that would,iu a dose
game, sond the visitors to their homes
covered all over witii a tenth man de
feat. The A. O. &F. team are a gen
tlemanly lot of players and have lost
vory fow games this soason but had
they discovered Swoeney oarly iu the
season, and put him to work, they
would probably iiave a much higher
preceutago of games won. Sweeney
allowed the spectators on Saturday that
he has the goods ready for immediate
delivery if neeesaary. However, the

Car Famine Threatened,
The gieatest oar famiue in history
threatens the coal currying rn-ids of
the country. 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.
