BONTING FOR
MISSING BROTHER
John Gilbert and Jonas Fuhrmau,
of Rinatown, were ia this oity yester
day proßeouting a searoli for Samuel
Fuhrmau, brother of the last named
of the two above gentlemen, who has
been lost ilnoe the Bioomsbnrg fair.
The missing man, who also lives at
Rlogtown, is somewhat deficient men
tally bat alwaya got along well enough
among his relatives and neighbors.
Daring the summer he worked on a
farm tor Frederiok Laudlg, at Ring
town. Last week he was seized with
a desire to attend the Bloomsburg fair.
On Thursday he was permitted to take
ID the fair, bat a half-grown boy was
aant along to take oare of him.
While in the main building the two
got separated In the orowd. Despite
his efforts the boy was enable to find
bli charge and was obliged to ruturn
home and report the fact. The rela
tives are very anxious over the matter
a* the feeble-minded man is unable to
find his way home or even to take oare
of himself among strangers aud may
perish by the wayside. He haß a de
fect in ;hi s speecii—does not under
stand English and speaks only in Qer
man. If addressed in English he pays
no attention whatever.bat walks right
on. He would not likely ask any
thing of strangers either in the way
of food or shelter. What lias beoome
of the man is a question wiiioh the
relatives would like to olear up. That
be foand his way out of the fair ground
is established by the faot—since learn
ed— tbat on Friday lie was seen wnlk
ing down Main street, Illoorushurg.
The gentlemau in this oity jester lay
thought it was likely that the man
bad found his way down toward
ville.
He la a man fifty-two years of ago,
of medium height and build; red hair
and smooth faoe. He was dressed iu
a light (pepper and salt) suit and wore
a black alouoh hat. Should an; oue
know of his wheroabouts they are
kindly asked to correspond either with
the brother, Jonas Fulirman.or Frede
rick Laudig, tile employer, at Ring
town.
More Workmen Wanted,
Several business man, employers of
help, were in conversation last even
ing and they agreed that not for many
years, if ever in the history of Dan
ville, has it beeu so difficult to secure
hands as at the present time Each in
turu related his experience iu an ef
fort to secure a few extra hands,whioh
showed that not ouly at the present
but for months past industrial condi
tions in Danville have beeu of the
most encouraging sort and that not a
man nor a boy who is able aud will
ing to work need suffer for want of
employment. It is a fact that our
leading industries aud work aloug all
linos are seriously haudioapped by the
want of working men.
Prosperity is at high watermark all
over the land and the scaroity of help
is general. Danville has little relief
to expect, therefore, and eveu if sup
erior iudooements were to attract
worklngmen here there would he no
houses iu which to domicile their
families. There nre practically no
dwellings for relit in Danville, which
shows that the deiluiency of working
men Is not doe to auy falling off of
the population.
The prosperity at home and else
where lndloaled by the above condi
tions is most gratifying especially at
the present, standing as wo do 011 the
threshold of winter,when steady work
is necessary to koep the wolf front the
door and to supply all tiie comforts
needed in the household.

A POINTER FOR
JANDIDATES
The souvenir poat card oraze lias
suggested a new and very praotioal
idea to candidates, who will this fail
send through the mails their photo
graphs on a small oard containing for
example the familiar legend: "Vote
for John Smith, eto." The oard need
be the usual inexpensive affair and all
the caudldate will have to do will be
to place a one oent stamp and the ad
dress of the voter he wants to reaoh
on the blank side. Tims at a minimum
of oxponse he will bo able, as it were,
to meet the voter faoe to faoe and
present his olaim for support.
Post Master Harder yesterday said
he oould not see that suoh a nse of the
mail would conflict with the postal
law. It would make no difference so
long weight, etc., were within the
propor limit whether the post oard con
tained the pioture of the various sorts
in vogue with a legend amusing or
otherwise or the matter-of-faot face of
a candidate with a direot appeal for
sopport.
This method of electioneering will
iiave some advantages. It will not
only be cheap and involve little labor
but will have the charm "of novelty.
The face of the oandidate will turn
up smilingly with tiie morning mail
and tiie voter does not exist who will
turn it down without some considera
tion.
New Law Explained.
There has been some misapprehen
sion concerning the trespass law which
was recently enacted and inauy be
lieve (hat one-half of the fine goes to
the prosecutor,aud that the fine is fix
ed at ten dollars or ten days. The law
siys the fine shall not exceed ten dol
lars,lionce a justice of the peace could
plaoe the line at any amount under
that nm which he thought equitable
in consideration of the facts in the
case.
Thus if a man simply went through
another man's woods and did no dam
age the justioe-of-the-peaoe might con
clude the offense was so slight that
the nomiuai fine of a few oents would
be just right. On the other hand if
the trespasser tore down a fence, cut
down a chestnut tree, piaked berries,
or tramped down glass or growing
crops it would seem that the otfenoe
might most equitably be treated by
the imposing of a fine of fivo or ten
dollars which would have a tendency
to remind the trespasser that he should
respeot the rightß of his fellow man.
In regard to the disposition of the
Hue the law states that the entire fine
shall be paid into the treasury of the
Noliool board of the township in whioh
the trespass occurs. The costs in case
of oonviqtiou shall be placed on the
defendant. The intention of the law
does not appear to be so much to re
strain hunters—the regular f|sh and
game law does that—but rather to cov
er more thoroughly that class of tres
passers who go iuto meadows to pick
berries and enter woods and out down
trees to obtain nuts.
Grain Crop Enormous.
WASHINGTON,Oct. 16. —lf it were
possible to load all the grain raised in
the United Stateß this joar on a single
train, that train would be 11,931 miles
long—nearly four times the distance
from Philadelphia to San Francisco.
More than a million and a half cars
would make up this train,aud it would
require 77,600 locomotives to draw the
load. These looomotives alone would
extend from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg.
Aud if the farmers wero to receive
present prices for their orops they
would have 11,878,518,833 to deposit in
bank.
The foregoing figures give some idea
of the enormous size of the orops har
vested this year—the greatest iu the
history of the nation. To get the
wheat and the corn aud oats aud all
other cereals to the oonsumers Is the
problem bothering transportation man
agers.
There is already a car shortage, and
it will grow worse as winter appro
aches. Reports from Buffalo show that
8,000,000 bushels of grain are stored
there, and nrt a oar yet available to
move it. Iu Minnesota and the Dak
otas the wheat and barley alone will
fill 178,000 cars.
Efforts to meet the present situation
have just about exhausted the railroad
olerks who have charge of the car rec
ords. Lights are burniug far iuto the
night in every freight agent's office
eaßt of the Mississippi and car tracers
are using all their skill to find box
oars that have strayed or are idle iu
order that they may be rushed, loaded
or empty, to the grain growiug dis
tricts. Whether these derelict cars cau
furnish transportation for the tremen
dous surplus that will be demanded by
grain export houses is something that
will not be deoided for more than a
month.
To Purchase Fort Augusta.
At a session of the Daughters of the
American Revolution,held at Reading
last week, a oommittee was appointed
iu tiie matter of the purohase of Fort
Augusta, after one member said that
if it is left to the Legislature or the
Sous of the Revolution nothing will
be done, the Sons preferring to let the
women do the work.
Mrs. C. A. Sidler, of Suubury, was
appointed a member of tho auditing
oommittee. It was decided to hold
next year's Conference at Clearfield.
Want Mt. Carmel riinister.
At a largely attended congregation
al meeting held last week at the Pres
byterian churoh of the Covenant, at
Williamsport.it was deoided to oxtend
a call to the Rev. Herbert T. Ure.now
in oliarge of the Presbyterian church

made unanimous after the firsf ballot.

COMPELLING
JACCINATION
The enforcement of the school law
relating to vaccination admits of no
exceptions. The State Department of
Healtn by a judicious use of printer's
ink has made it perfectly clear to
8011001 superintendents, principals and
others in charge of schools just what
their duty is iu the premise*) iu order
to avoid a penalty.
In towu our school authorities how
very olosoly to the line and at the very
beginning of the term no pupil is ad
mitted without bringiug evidence that
he has been successfully vaccinated.
In one or more of the rural districts,
It seems, the teaohers whatever their
methods may be, have a diflioult time
of it iu bringing about a compliance
witli tiie law. While in town schools
vacoination is a closed incident, iu
some of the rural distriots sore arms
among the pupilß are just now tiie
rule.
At Styers' School house, West Hem
lock township, yesterday tiie teacher
iu order to compel tiie enforcement of
the law sent, home every pupil that
could not produoe tiie approved evid
ence that he or she liad been vaccinat
ed. This, it is reported, left but four
pupils in sohool. The measure arous
ed a good bit of feeling iu some quart
ers. but the teacher lias the sohool law
on ills side aud had 110 choice hut to
proceed as he did.
Under the State Department of
Health in whose hands the enforce
ment of vaccination has rested since
September 15tli,the law is more rigid
ly applied than before. Tiie ciiange
iu the form of certificates required,
however, has given rise to the impres
sion among soino people that the aot
of 18!)5 does not applv and they seem
to bo to some extent at sea as to just
how far tiie law makes vacciuation
compulsory.

A COON HUNTER'S
LONELYVIQIL
After a vigil of 28 hours at the foot
of a tree in which a big black bear
had taken refuge, Clarence Kiugler,of
Trout Kun, shot the animal at day
break, Monday.
Riugler went ooon hunting, Satur
day night, expecting to bn home by
midnight. But at about il o'clock he
discovered a bear, which climbed a
tree to escape the attack of his little
dog.
* Riugler built n fire, expecting that
tho reflection of the flames would dis
close tho animal,but the houghs of the
tree were too thick,so lie encamped at
the foot of the tree to wait for day
break. He soon remembered that there
is a penalty of $25 for shooting game
on Sunday, but he was determined to
iiavo that bear, and decided to reiuaiu
on guard, being mindful of the fact
that if he left tho plaoe,the bear would
shin down the tree and escape to the
tall timbor.
When day dawned, he saw the bear
huddled 011 a limb against tiie trunk
of the tree,about thirty feet above the
ground. He forced himself to remain
awake on Sunday night, aud 011 Mon
day morning at six o'clock when the
light of day disolosed the form of the
boar, Riugler aimed and shot,the bear
tumbling down through' the branches
to the ground, wlieu a second shot
finished it.
The hoar weighed 287 pounds, and
one of his hind paws was gone, appar
ently having at some time beeu caught
iu a steel trap, when he gnawed off
tho member to gain his froedom.
When Hingler readied home for help
to oarry the bear and incidentally to
got something to eat, he found his
friends iu a state of high excitement
over his long abßonce, foaring that lie
had met with some accident.
Benjamin Tanner Improving.
Benjamin Tanner, the son of Honry
Tauner, Liberty townsiiip, who was
found unconsoious.is improving rapid
ly, although still unable to bu out of
bed.
At the time the affair was very mys
terious, for the lad,being nuconscious,
could not toll what had happened to
him. Even now lie oan not tell the
exact cause of his injuries. Something
struck him on the back of the neck,
aud'lie remembers nothing until he
recovered his senses some hours later.
When he was struck down he was
standing near a colt's stall. The colt
was iu the habit of playfully raising
the pole between the stalls, and it is
thought that lie was hit by this.
On Wrong Side of River.
Most of the structural steel to be us
ed on the Gatawissa bridge was un
loaded on the north side of the river,
aud the engineers when they were
ready to use the material yesterday
were presented with the problem of
how to get the heavy pieoes to the
south side where they are to be used.
The method finally adopted was to
teship the material to Northumber
land, aud there transferring to the
Pennsylvania R. R., south bring it
back to Gatawissa on the other side of
the river.

NDBTBDMBuBLAND
*
Tlio Dauville High Soliool foot ball
team, in the seoond game of the sea
sou, scored au easy victory over the
Northumberland High School at De-
Witt's Park Saturday afternoon.
In the fast, snappy playing of the
local team coald be seen the hard prao
tioe of the past Wbek anu a great im
provement over tho work in the first
game was noticeable. The headwork
nsed in Saturday's contest was especi
ally commendable. Danville woo
easily,and at no time was there a like
lihood of Northumberland scoring.
The visitors made first down only fonr
times while the looal team was held
for downs bnt once.
The game started with Northomber
land kioking to Peters who was down
ed without gain. Several long runs
on trick plays around the end, admir
ably carried out, oarried the ball well
into Northumberland's territory and
Peters took the oval over for the first
Bcore. Dreifoss missed tho goal. Dan
ville kicked to Northumberland. Al
most the first the visitors fumbled.
Williams got the pig Bkin and mads a
short run for the second toach down.
Peters missed the goal. Danville again
kioked to Nothumberland.and the vis
itors gained first down, but wore then
held and Dauville took the ball. Pet
ers at onoe kicked, and Northumber
land fumbling, the ball rolled behind
the goal posts, where Reifsnyder fell
on the ball for a touoh down. Peters
kicked the goal. Northumberlend kick
ed to Danville, aud time was callod
with the ball iu Northumberland's
territory.
Iu the second half Northumberland
kicked to Danville. Eud runs took off
20 yards when Danville kicked. With
the ball iu their possession Northum
berland was again held for downs,and
Dauville got ball on visitors 10 yard
line Peters made tooohdown through
taoklo, nreifuss niissed soul. Dauville
kicked to Northumberland. They were
held for downs. Danville again kiok
ed as soon as they got possession of the
ball, aud then held Northumberland
for downs on their 5 yard line. Peters
made touoh down. Dreifuss kicked
goal. Dauville kioked to Northumber
land and time was called.
Peters did most of the ground gain

MINOR MATTERS
OP INTEREST
Oue who taken a drive through tlie
farming districts about Danville this
perfect autumn weather will And him
self amply repaid by tlie signs of in
dustry and progress, to say nothing of
the beautiful landscape views, which
are in evidence everywhere. It is
doubtful if more beautiful farms—tak
ing into consideration the picturesque
surroundings—may be found anywhere
olse in this seotion of llie state than
Moutour county boasts of. The corn
this yoar has yielded abundantly, and
it is a sight for eyes unaccustomed to

The director of the Stato Experi
ment Station, at State College, reoout
ly made a test of dried distiller's
grains, which is the residue from the
manufacture of spirits, and which are
being offered to Pennsylvania farmers
and dairymen. Tlie test shows that at
prevailing prioes for oorn meal and
cottonseed meal, the oost of a pound
of milk was somewhat increased by
the use of distiller's graius. It also
showed that if the milk was to be us
ed for butter and sold on the basis of
its test, the extra amount of fat pro
duced by the distiller's graius ration
would offset the additional cost.

into a heap, in the back yaid and cov
er them over with some earth, and by
and by you have several dollars' worth
of the best fertilizer known fur plants.
We soe people gning to the woods for
the same fertilizer every spring. An

Iron for Grape Vine Manure.
Hundreds of tons of iron cihps and
fllingH from m»chine shops havo been
used as fertilizers in Speer's vineyards
at N. J. ( producing the deep
color of the wine, the decided blood
making properties that this wino con
tains and for whioli it is so highly re
commended by Physicians. If persons
waut to give color to their cheeks the
use of Speer's Port Grape Wine or
Burgundy will bring it.
To the casual eye work does not
soem to be progressing very rapidly at
the double box culvert on the P. & R.
Railway just east of the station, al
though no doubt the progress madu is
quite satisfactory to experts, who
know what to expect in operations of
that kind.
Just at present the concrete is be
ing laid for a beginning of tho third
or last three walls to be built. From
present appearances the culvert will
be a winter's job. The work is in very
careful hands and is being done In a
way to insure strengtli and perman
ency.
The Structural Tubing Company is
building a small annex to its plant to
inurease room iu its finishing depart
ment. The carpenter work is in tlie
hands of Joliu Mowry. (The company
is also replanking the orossing opposite
tho works on East Mahoning strei t.
The Struotural Tubing works em
ploys some four hundred men aud lias
made a good record duiing the past
summer. It is ruuniug on night and
day tnrn.
The puddle department of this plant
is leased by a Philadelphia party aud
is makiug very good time.
*_Mauy of oor largest manufacturing
concerns iu various lines are ruuning
day and night in a vaiu endeavor to
overcome their accumulated and ac
cumulating oiders. This is particular
ly the case with electrical apparatus,
all kinds of macliineiy—in fact, every
line of manufacture h.ised on d
steel.

advicoa from the state Highway De
partment relative to the reconstruc
tion of North Mill street.

THE PHENIX.
Legpntl of How It Lived and Died
nnd Lived Again.
The nnclent tradition concerning the
plienix has introduced Into nearly ev
ery language the habit of applying that
name to whatever Is singular or un
common among its kind. According to
ancient writers, the pbenlx was a bird
of great beauty about the size of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adorned its head, its plumage
contained nearly every tint of the rain
bow, and Its eyes sparkled like dia
monds. Only one of those birds could
live at a time, but its existence covered
a period of 51)0 or 000 years. When Its
life drew to a close the bird built for
itself a funeral pile of wood and aro
matic spices, with its wings fanned the
pile Into a flame and therein consumed
itself. From its ashes a worm was
produced, out of which another phenlx
was formed, having all the vigor of
youth. The first care of the new phenlx
was to solemnize its parent's obsequies.
For that purpose it made a ball of
myrrh, frankincense and other fra
grant things. At Ileliopolis, a city in
lower Egypt, there was a magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the phenlx would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar of
the sun as a sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 500 years or exactly GOO years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.
Modern Cnrd Playing.
The gambling of today is a mild af
j fair compared with the extant records
of English society. We shall never
i again see the days when CJoncral Scott
112 won a fortune of £200,000 at whist,
chiefly by dint of keeping sober. And
high play, it must never be forgotten,
is a relative term. When Lord Stavor
dale gained £II,OOO by a single coup at
hazard, his only comment was that If
he had been playing "deep" he might
have won millions. When the dimen
sions of modern wealth are taken Into
account the wildest excesses ever wit
nessed at the card table would have a
timid and parsimonious aspect to the
bucks of the regency.—Times of India,
Bombay.
