THOMAS SANDERS HEARD FRUH Former Post Commander William M. Heddens lias received a letter from Thomas Sanders, the oldest member of Goodrich Post No. 22, G. A. R., who at present is an inmate of the Nation al Military Home at Montgomery county, Ohio. Thomas Sanders, who is in his eighty seventh year, went to Dayton less than a year ago. He is pretty well pleased with.the great military home, but has been sick nearly all the time since his arrival there. At the time of his writ ing he was confined in the hospital. He says he has written a number of letters east since being in the home, but Comrade Heddeus was the only one who hail sent a reply. He was delight ed to hear from Danville. There are provisions for about seveu thousand soldiers at the home. About 4800, Mr. Sanders, says, are iu camp at the present time ; about 1,400 are absent on furlough. There aro JiOO iu the hospital and the deaths daily num ber 0 or 7. Mr. Sanders is looking forward to a visit to his old home in May, but at present he is barely able to walk ow ing to swollen feet. He finds every thing very pleasant and cleanly. The bedding, he says, is as white as snow. Even the floors, are so scrupulously clean that one could rub a white hand kerchief over them without soiling it. The food, too, is all that could be de sired. Mr. Sanders says he has just receiv ed his 1 • new clothes'' and adds: 4 4 They fit like a button. I now look like an old soldier once more. It makes me feel proud—if I only felt well enough to enjoy them.'' In conclusion ho repeats the request that his friends in Danville write him oftener,and adds with a ring of pathos: 4 4 Don't forget that I may not be hero long." A Agents. The Adams express office, which for no many years lias beeii maintained in connection with Grone's book store, will bo removed from that establish ment into entirely separate quarters in the building No. 122 Mill street, re cently vacated by Johnson's millinery and owned by W. C. Williams. This change of course implies that the express business as well as the office passes out of the hands of Mr. Grone, who will continue to push his book and stationery business at the present stand. The removal of the office is in line with a policy recently adopted by the Adams Express com pany, which calls for a general remov al of offices from stores and other busi ness establishments into separate quart ers. Who the agout will be that will have charge of the Adams Express business after the removal could not be learned yesterday. Mr. Grone does not see fit to abandon his, store and yesterday morning he declined the agency. It is intimated by the*company that after the change two wagons will be put in to commission, one of which will be driven by the agent and that a clerk, probably a lady, will be employed in th 6 office. Such at least is the plan adopted in those towns where the offices are already removed to separate quart- The Adams Express Company is evid ently after more business but whether the departure inaugurated will bring about larger returns remains to be seen. A VISIT ENDS IN DEATH A sad death occurred in Danville last evening when Arthur Farnsworth, who has been visiting his sister, Mrs. Jesse Lunger, Ferry street, succumbed to an attack of pneumonia. The young man resides with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. William Farns worth, in Point township, Northum berland county, and came to visit his sister about a week ago> Several days ago he was taken with pleurisy, which developed into pneumonia, and he grew rapidly worse until his death oc curred last night at 9 :30 o'clock. The deceased was 22 years of age and is survived by the following broth ers and sisters : Robert, Edward and Harry Farnsworth, Mrs. .lesse Lunger, Mrs. Charles Diehl and Miss Lizzie Farnsworth. BIG VERDICT AGAINST PENNSY ■ The jury in the caso of the Wat-son - towu Door & Sash Company vs. the Pennsylvania Railroad company re turned a verdict for the plaintiff late yesterday afternoon for $32,125. The Wfttsoutown company was suing for SBO,OOO damages done to its plant in a fire caused by a spark from a Pennsylvania locomotive. The case was on trial since Monday morning. James Scarlet, Esq., of this city, was attorney for the plaintiff. Less Honey for Judge Each Day. The job of President Judge for this judicial district for the remaining months of this year becomes less aud less lucrative as the days pass. The position, day in and day out, is worth about 113.70 a day, the salary for the year being $5,000. Should the appoint ment be made today the salary would he about S3BB less than if the appoint ment had been made on the second of the month when rumors were first rife that the appointment was likely to be made at any time. Want Brick Paving. Burgess Krietzer, of Milton, is op posed to the further macadamizing of the streots of that town, aud declares strongly for the substitution of asphalt or vitrified brick for paving purposes. J Macadam at an original cost of $2 a square yard, lie says, is expensive to keep in repair, while asphalt or brick, costing $1.75 a square yard, lias wear ing qualities of from tweutv-five to forty years. By a decision in the Connecticut courts it is held to be uo part of a conductor's duty to assifrt passengers in alighting from a trolley car. The decision was the result of a suit for damages for injuries sustained in mak ing the step from the car. HAKES PLEA FOR RIVER FISH HARRISBURG, March 20. Fish Commissioner Meehan very strongly objects to the damming of tTie Susque hanna river at McCall's Ferry, where a great ]>ower plant is being installed. It is rumored that a gigantic law suit will l>e the outcome of this obstruc tion to the stream. Attorney General Carson is already engaged in looking up authorities on the matter. In his forthcoming annual report Commis sioner Meehan will say: "If the dam at McCall's Ferry is constructed it would mean, if not the complete wiping out of the shad in dustry, its reduction to narrow limits, for.the natural migration of the fish up the stream beyond McCall's Ferry would only be possible by means of fish ways. It is a well known fact that of all the fishes the shad is the most timid and it hesitates about going through any kind of a fish way the has yet been designed. The more courage ous, it is true, pass through, as has been evidenced by the flshway placed in Clark's Ferry dam by the State,but the number which go through iu com pars ion to those which refuse is com paratively few. "I feel the shad industry ought to fce developed, not destroyed, or even interfered with, even for the purpose for which the McCall Power company proposes to build the dam. It is not merely a question of dollars and cents which has to be considered, but the right of the people to have within their reach a very valuable and im portant food commodity at little cost. 44 It is not merely the shad industry that would be destroyed, but the eel. industry also, and >\hat is truo of the eel and siiad industry is also true of a number of other fishes, the herring for example, which ascends for some dis tance above McCall's Ferry under pre sent coudtious. Iu dollars and cents the total loss to the people along the Susquehanna river would be compara tively speaking iu the neighborhood of half a million of dollars a year, but more important than the dollars and cents would be the loss of food." Severe on Quacks. State Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon would make short work of the "quack" doctor, by having his state medical license revoked, the mo ment it was proved that the man was carrying on a business or acting in his professional capacity in such a man ner as to bring disgrace upon the medical profession and harm to the victims of his charlatanism. Dr. Dixon brought out this point very forcibly Monday night, in open ing the discussion at the College of Physicians, following a paper on "Quackery: What are we going to do about it?" read by Champe S. And rews, Esq., of New York, before the Medical Jurisprudence Society of Phil adelphia. "If a lawyer in this State" said Health Commissioner Dixon, "trifled with the affairs of his client or carri ed on the montebauk operations like some of the so-called physicians who are openly trifling with the lives of their patients by a knavish practice of medicine, they would be at once de barred from practicing law. Yet the present laws of this State permit the medical quack togo on acting as a family physician,practicing under the official license that bears the seal of this great Commonwealth. Ho may have been convicted of mal-practice, yet go about flaunting a State license. "It is time," continued Health Commissioner Dixon, "that wo band together and prepare a bill to be pre sented to the next legislature empow ering the State medical examining board to revoke medical licenses when it is proven that they have fallen into the hands of charlatans and quacks." New Silk Hill at Berwick. lu addition to the present silk mill of F. Q. Hartman, at Berwick, anoth er mill, probably in West Berwick, will be in all probability erected by Mr. Hartman in the near future. Mr. Hartman has been considering the purchase of a plot of ground in West Berwick for that purpose and has already looked over the laud that would make a satisfactory site for his mill. Should the plant be erected in West Berwick it will be with a view of considering the help question, thus giving him one plant in each end of that town and making it more convenient for the omployes. Should the new plant, which is be ing given the groatest consideration be built, it will require a building about 53 x 200 feet, one or two stories and would be used as a floss, fringo and machine twist mill, giving em ployment to about 130 hands, the pres ent mill employing about the same number of hands. A number of other improvements have recently been made to the mill now in operation at Ber wick. PLANT TREES. Every property owner in the city who luis a yard or piece of ground, if not already plautod with a tree or trees, to afford shade, shelter aud beauty on the street as well as to inmates of the house, should bear in mind that the season is at hand for the planting, aud if an order has not been sent to nurseryman or tree agent, it should be attoudod to at once. The sooner a tree or hardy shrub is transplanted, when the ground is in order, the better. Nothing adds more to the value of a home aud a property than well-grown treos, and the cost aud care are trifl- . ing. While the main object of Arbor Day is to educate aud encourage the ! planting and care of trees, to impress the necessity from many stand]>oints of tree culture, there have not been the results yet attained that are desired, though considerable progress has been made within a couple of years in for est reservations by the State and na tional governments. It is not the tree planting so much that is needed in some sections, as the preservation of the young as well as the old growth. Yesterday, according to astronomic al calculations, the sun "crossed the line," which means we "slopped ov er" into spring. OLD SOLDIERS STILL ACTIVE The season of the year is now ap proaching when tiie veterans of the G. A. R. begin to bestow some thought on Memorial day, which is only a couple of months distant. In conversation with some members of Goodrich Post yesterday it was learn ed that Memorial day here this' year will be celebrated with the usual march to the cemetery aud with all the features that have assisted to make the occasion so impressive in the past. This is quite gratifying in view of the fact that iu some other places, not ably iu a city like Williainsport,the G. A. R. camp this year will hold its last parade. Everywhere the rank of the defenders of the Union lire thin ning out and those who survive begin to feel the burden of advancing years. As a body they hardly feel equal to the task of marching to the cemetery iu military style much longer. Ar rangements therefore aro being made to observe Memorial day this year all the more elaborately to mark the pass ing of the time-honored parade of the civil war veterans to the graves of their departed comrades. The members of Goodrich Post yes terday stated .that not only would the veterans of the civil war in Danville march to the cemetery in true military style this year, but they would con tinue to do so for years to come. Six teen old soldiers died in Danville dur ing the past year, of this number twelve being mombers of Goodrich Post. The post has still a hundred members. A large proportion of these are still relatively young and are still able to do some pretty active hustling while engaged in their'daily pursuits. Danville is fortunate in having a cam]) of Sons of Veterans, oue of the objects of which is to perpetuate the observance of memorial day, taking up the work of decorating the graves aud looking after all the other details as fast as advancing years disqualify the surviving veterans for the performance of that tender duty. Colonel Eckman Camp No. 2tt,Sons of Votoraus is very enthusiastic as to its duty iu this line aud already last year rendered the veterans much assistance.^ local camp of Sous of Veterans has now been fully equipped with gnus aud this year they will step iu to per form the duty of firing squad at the cemetery,a part of the program which heretofore was always i>erformed by the National guardsmen. Roosevelt Will Attend. President Roosevelt will personally participate in the dedication of the new Pennsylvania State Capitol, at Harrisburg, Thursday, October 4th. The President himself selected the date, the courtesy of so doing having been left to him by the dedication com mission in order that nothing should stand in the way of his coming. Although the dedication commission has not been formally notified, an As sociated Press dispatch from Washing ton tells of the official announcement there of the President's acceptance of tiie invitation to come to Harrisburg, and that Octboer 4 lias been named as the day. The formal invitation to President Roosevelt was extended several weeks ago. The members of the dedication com mittee are Governor Penny packer, Sen ator William C. Sproul, of Chester; Senator John E. Fox, of Harrisburg and Speaker Henry F. Walton,of Phil adelphia. Details of the dedication are not ar ranged. The Legislature has appropri ated $50,000 to defray expenses. This insures an elaborate ceremony. One of the features will be a big parade of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, reviewed by the President and Gover nor Penny packer. There will probably also be a public reception to the Presi dent. • INDUSTRIAL PEACE. While the outlook at this inomeut is ominous of serious trouble between the miners aud their employers in both the bituminous and the anthracite re gion, there is still hope for a peaceful settlement. John Mitchell, the leader of the miners, understands the grave consequences of a strike and is doing all he can to promote peaceful coun sels. He is not ready to surrender en tirely to the operators, but he is will ing to meet them at least half way in any effort to arrange the matters still in controversy. Francis L. Robbins, who is the spokesman for the bituminous operat ors, is also disposed toward an agree ment. There is reason to believe that if the matter were left to the unbias ed judgment of Mr. Robbins and Mr. Mitchell there would be a speedy end to the uncertainty existing and the clouds now hanging about the in dustrial horizon would quickly disap- I>ear and popular confidence would be restored. Is it too much to hope that the sound business sense of these two gentlemen will be permitted to domin ate the reassembled joint conference? AMERICAN RECKLESSNESS. The Americans are regarded as the most extravagant people in the world and some of their wasteful capers would appear to justify that imputa tion. Think of any German, French or English railroad company taking thousands of their wooden cars aud making a conflagration of them as the Peunsy is doing with that kind of its rolling stock in a vast bonfire near Harrisburg. They are too economical for such extravagauce,and even if they no longer needed the cars they would arrange some plan to put them to use as firewood. For that purpose the wooden cars which the Peunsy is con flagrating would be worth thousands of dollars. It is probably because the Americans are supplied with such a superabundance of everything that thev are so reckless in their wasteful ness. ACCEPTED POSITION. Jeremiah Fisher has accepted a posi tion as billing clerk in the office of the Danville Stove and Manufacturing Company. As operator and clerk Mr. Fisher was in the employ of the P. & R. railway compauy for about fourteen years. He is capable aud trustworthy and will no doubt give good satisfac tion in his new position. WEATHER ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY St. Patriot's day, Saturday, which according to tradition should havo been accompanied with stormy weath er,brought us clear skies aud sunshine although the snow was nearly a foot deep and mercury was down below freezing. During the night it became very nearly as cold as at nny time dur ing the winter, the thermometer reg istering 4 degrees above zero. This is a little remarkable in view of the fact that the advent of spring is only two days distant and that ou St. Patrick's day a year ago mercury stood at UO de grees during the afternoon, the weath er being so warm as to the shady side of the streets desirable, especially to those who wore heavy overcoats. While in the cities and in the larger towns the memory of St. Patrick was honored witli song and toast aud ad dresses from men in all walks of life, in Danville the day was observed only iu the very quietest manner. Every loyal Celt in honor of the patrou Saint of Erin wore upon liis person emerald green,either a boutouuiere or a how of green ribbon on the lapel of his coat. The very best of order during the day aud in the evening prevailed upon the streets. For several years past St. Patrick's day has been observed iu Danville in the same quiet unostentatious manner that marked the observance Saturday. There has been an absence of elaborate functions, of addresses and the like, but the bit of emerald green was al ways iu evidence,wherever there were true Irishmen iudicatiug that deep in the heart was a patriotic feeling, a fond memory of the Emerald Isle, which during all the years of their so journ here was still fervent and uu di mined. BUILDING BOATS IN DANVILLE. Couiifcy Commissioner George K. Sechler has come to the front with some interesting information relating to the old boat yards of Danville, a full recollection of which lingers in the minds of only a few persons. P. G. Baylor of South Danville, also re calls the boat yard on East Market street, Daniel Lynn, one of the pro prietors being his uncle. Mr. Sechler says that Daniel Lynn was in partner ship with Henry Aiumcrmau and that their boat yard along about 1847 was situated along the canal at the rear of Esterbrook's store. Our county com missioner says as a boy of ten years lie used to sit and watch the workmen as they drew the boats ottt of the canal , by the clumsy methods then in vogue. Another boat yard was near the Jack sou Ammermau building on the site of what was in later years Slwpperson's coal yard. Here several boats were built that had a long ami useful career on the canal,among them being "Pris cilla E. Thompson," "S. B. Thomp son" and"The Ladies' Friend." At an earlier day packet boats were built in Danville, at a yard on the site now occupied by the Struc tural Tubing Works. Early in the 40's two very handsome packet boats were built here, one the"Eagle" and the other the "New York," to ply between Northumberland and NVilkes-Barro. Mr. Sechler was present at the launch ing of these boats, which was a great event. Among the old-time mechanics who worked at boat-building in Dan ville bes ; des Daniel Lynn and Henry Ammermau were John Kulp, Oscar Ephlin and Charles Leighow, the lat ter still surviving. SOME PLANKS IN GRANGERS' iPLATFORH At a conference of leading Grange workers aud representative members of agricultural orgauizations.held re cently in Harrisburg, it was decided to arrange a platform for the farmers for the coming State aud county cam paign, aud ask their political parties to iusert the same in their respective and to endeavor to secure pledges from candidates for State office, including House and Senate, to support the reforms. The leading planks of Jtlie proposed platform are as follows: Trolleys to be given the right to car ry freight. No candidate to accept a free pass during his term of office. Corporations to live up to the con stitution of the State. No miuiug of coal by transportation companies; directors in corporations not to furnish supplies to them; no owning or operating of parallel or competing lines of railroads. No discrimination in freight rates. Liceusesand personal property taxes to be returned to the counties. A uniform passenger rate of two , cents a mile. Equalization of taxation. An increase in State aid for town ship roads (from fifteen to fifty per cent. Au increased appropriation for ceu tralized township schools and town ship high schools. An Important Opinion. An opinion relating to constables' fees, which affects nearly every coun ty in the State, lias just been handed down iu the superior court. It is that of Constable Johu Newton vs. the county of Luzerne. New ton, when re fused payment by the controller, sued the county for a bid for subpoenaing witnesses. He charged #1 for serving the subpoena, and [SO cents for eacli additional one, and 10 cents a mile for mileage. The constable's bill was bas ed upon the sheriff's fee bill of 1901. i The county cut down the bill to 30 cents for serving the two subpoenas aud rt cents a mile for mileage. In a case stated Newton then appealed to the superior court aud has been worst ed. Sleigh Ride to Swenoda. A sleighing party from Danville was delightfully entortaluert last evening at the home of Joseph A. ('rim, Swe noda. 11l the party were: Misses Mar.r Fry, Bertha Kane,Julia Argrave, Nell Sherwood, May Gay, Florence Voris, Bessie Hess, Messrs. Joliu Kasc. Cliarles Leniger, Frank Fry, Frank Brown, John Maglll and Jamas Voltz. WHO CAN RhGALL THE BOAT YARD? How many of our citizens can re member when there was a boat yard in Danville? A group of citizens, uoue of whom were much over sixty years, Buturday evening, was discussing the matter. Ouly oue was able to recall the boat yard aud to describe it mi nutely. All of the others,although life long residents of Danville seemed to havo forgotten that such a concern as a l»oat yard ever existed in Danville. Charles Mottern, an old-time boat men, recalled the boatyard, which he said, was situated along the canal in tlie vicinity of Jacob Dietz's property, East Market street. Hero the boats, which needed overhauling, by means of long skids and an ingenious sys tem of trucks and tackle were drawn up out of the canal. It was a busy spot, as boats were constantly being repaired here, even if some were not wholly built. The canal went out of commission some five years ago. We still have the old boatmen with us and the conversa tion Saturday night revealed how fond ly they dwell iu memory 011 the boat ing days aud how much interest they take iu everything that pertains to the old ditch. The well-known boatmen of Danville who still survive are the six Mottern brothers—Charles, Peter, Joseph.Sam uel, Daniel and Jeremiah, the latter residing at Watsoutown. Asa success ful aud experienced boatman no one on the whole canal system was known better than our conuty comir ' oioner, George R. Sechler. Two other well known boatmen of Danville were Ellis Rank and William Miller. There are a number of others here who followed the canal as bowsmeu and drivers, but the above is thought to comprise nearly all those living in our town who rose to the rank of captain. These men probably with few ex ceptions spent the greater part, of their lives on the canal beginning when boys as drivers. They became accustom ed to the business but acquired little experience that would help them along in any other pursuit. When the eaual was abaudoued, therefore, it was a hard blow to these men, the most of whom had passed the meridian of life audit is doubtful whether they have quite succeeded in adjusting them selves to altered conditions. One of these ex-boatniQu was asked whether he did not miss tlie canal very much j when if was abandoned. "Yes, we : missed it,"and he added significaut- I l.v, "we still miss it. T!ie most of ■ the old boatmen have gone into haul i iug, as about the ouly thing #l»at re mained for them. They probably find enough to do. hut the employment bears no comparison to the indepen dent, the free aud easy lifeou the can al which they followed for so many years and came to love with all their hearts. AT BURNHAM. Evan Be van of Buruliam arrived Sat urday evening to spend Sunday in our pleasant town on the North Branch, which was for so many years his home. As mill wright and master mechanic Mr. Bevau was employed at the big mill for the period of thirty-nine years. Last August he went to Burn ham to accept the position of master mechanic under the Logan Iron aud Steel Company. He is quite well pleas ed with his new position and yester day gave a fine description of Burn ham, which is the seat not only of the Logan Iron aud Steel Company, but al so of Standard Steel works belonging to the Baldwins, which employs near ly five thousand hands. The place is growing rapidly aud under the condi tions which exist it does not seem like ly that there will bo any halt in the development until Buruham grows in to a great city. It is next to impossi ble to secure houses to dwell iu there and large numbers of employes are compelled to reside out of towu, some of them covering the distance of seven miles night and morning. Mr. Bev au says that a wonderful sight presents itself when the several thousand em ployes emerge from the great steel plant at quitting time. The street, he says, from one end of the other is a living stream of humanity. Burnham is about three miles from Lewistowu and is easy of access from Danville. Mr. Bevau says he is not lonesome at Buruham, as he has plenty of Dan ville people to associate with. David Thomas is Superintendent of the Logan Iron and Steel Company's ""plant. Among other former Danville resi dents who are working in Buruham are Arthw Dietrich,Thomas Jameson, Benjamin Andrews, Joseph Osier, Michael Ryan, Lloyd Joues and Pud dle Boss Challenger. Miss Sara Wat ers, formerly saleslady in the Boston Store here, has a responsible position iu one of the leading stores at Buru ham. Wike—Kashner. Miss Margaret Kaslmer on Saturday became the bride of Harry S. Wike of Danville. The ceremony was perform ed at 9 a. m. at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Mary A. Kashner, Ridge ville, by Rev. C. D. Lerch. Both youug i>eople are popular and well known. mmmmx Ayer's If your blood is thin ana im pure, you are miserable all the time.

Dixon, health com missioner, makes the marvelous an nouncement from records compiled in his office, that during the four months of November and December, 1905, and January and February 1908, there has not l>een a single death from diphthe ria where the free antitoxin provided by the State has been used within 24 hours after the onset of the disease and in doses recommended in the cir cular sent out by the commissioner. Gratifying results had been previous ly reported, but nothing then indicat ed the possible eradication of the death rate in a disease so long and so uni formly considered deadly. The pre vious report, after the most limited i test of the free antitoxin among pati ents considered too poor to pay for the serum, showed a decrease of nearly 9 per cent, in the death rate. Even this was a splendid result and showed the great benefits of the State payiug for antitoxin for those who might other wise not be able to procure it and prob ably »lie. But the report for the latest four months is indeed wonderful—an achievement scarcely dreamed of by the most advanced and optimistic scien tist a short time ago. Dr. Dixon attaches great importance to this, aud hopes that the same re sults will be secured in a far larger number of cases by physicians through out the State using free antitoxin more promptly. This prompt use of anti toxin has been urged by health com missioner Dixon from the start of the free distribution. He has urged it iu his correspondence with fellow-medi cal men and the local boards of health throughout the State, and especiallv in the circular which is contained in every package of the State's free anti toxin. "The early use of antitoxin is es sential," says Health Commissioner Dixon in his circular, and he endeav ors to impress it upon the people by heavilv underscoring the words of ad vice. In this circular also Dr. Dixon has given general directions for the ad ministration of antitoxin in both cura tive and immunizing doses that have been found exceedingly helpful to phy sicians in Pennsylvania. Never less than MOO units,says Dr. Dixon,should be used for a curative dose; in advanc ed cases he says to increase the initi al curative dose from 3000 to f»000 units. If improvement is not manifested within six hours following the initial dose give t>ooo units, and if no benefit is to be observed within the following eight to twelve hours, repeat the same until a change for the better can be noticed. All cases showing croupy symptoms should receive large and often-re]>eat ed doses. Farewell Surprise Party. A genuine surprise party was ten dered Mrs. John Poeth, Friday night, when a host of neighbors aud friends invaded the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Poeth, on Cooper street and took possession almost liefore the hostess realized what was transpiring. Mr. and Mrs. Poeth who have resided in this city for seven years, will take up their residence in Lewisburg about April first,aud their many friends ami neighbors in Danville regret very much their departure. The evening was spent iu a social way, aud one very enjoyable feature was the sumptuous spread prepared by the ladies, which was enjoyed by ev erybody present. The success of the affair was duo to the efforts of Mrs. Johu Hartzell who arranged every de tail without the least suspicion on the part of the hostess, and a perfect sur prise was the result. Tokens ot re membrance were presented to Mrs. Poeth by the guests. Those present wore: Mr. and Mrs. John A. Hartzell, Mr. and Mrs. Ed ward Albeck, Mr. aud Mrs. John M.

FARMER FINDS !• A FORTUNE The Shauiokiu "Leader 1 ' is respousi ble for the following story of the find- i iug of a small fortnne by an Elysburg < farmer: Lefls thau a mouth ago Mrs. William j Shumau died at her home oil a small j farm abont four miles from Elysburg, along the Little Mountain. Her bus- , baud beiug her only survivor decided i to offer all the household goo<ls for sale and seek a home elsewhere. Recently Mr. Shuman was eugaged in takiug up the* carpets aud gather- I iug together all the old pots aud fur j uiture about the premises. While eu- i gaged in removing the carpet in what j had been their bedroom he was sur prised to fiud a large roll of bills of various deuominations. He continued his search throughout the house and in all nooks and eoruers, old pots aud old kettles, iu fact in every out of the way place, he fouud sums of money, amounting in all, it is stated on good authority, to about $«»,000. It was kuowu for some years that the deceased had been very close in financial matters but it was never im agined that she stored away that aniouut of capital. In fact.it was sup posed that they were very j>oor as they resided on a farm of but fifteen acres, rented from a neighbor, they having rented their owu farm. The husbaud was a regular attendant at the Sha mokiu market, carrying eggs aud pro duce iu large baskets. Naturally lie j was very jubilant over the finding of j the money. The sale at the house will take place and it is natural that | there will be a large uumber of eager | bidders for the furniture and other ' household articles, with a hope of bnv -1 ing something with a bonanza in it.
