TWO PRISONERS BREAK JAIL Two desperate prisoners sentenced to the eastern penitentiary at last week's session of Columbia county court broke out of the Bloomsbury jail sometime between seven o'clock Tues day evening and seven o'clock yester day morning. The men were Fred Conner, who received a sentence of three years together with S6OO fine for complicity in the robbing of the sca tion agent at Lime Ridge ;and Charles Becker, sentenced to 21 mouths in the penitentiary for an attempted ravish of a telephone operator on the road between Mt. Carmel and Centralia. 'These two men together with the others senteucod to the penitentiary last week were to he taken to Phila delphia next Monday by Sheriff Black. "** Tuesday evening about seven o'clock when the prisoners were locked in their cells for the night, nothing un usual was noticed by Turnkey Lemuel Black, brother of Sheriff Black, as he made his round of the jail. When he unlocked the cells yesterday morning at seven o'clock, he did not look par- ticularly into the cell which was oc cupied jointly by Becker aud Couuer. When the two did not appear for breakfast, investigation was made, and the cell found to be empty, with a large hole in the wall, and stones scat tered about the floor standing as a mute explanation of the mens' ab sence. The outer wall of the jail is two feet thick, while the ceiling of the cell is made of steel. In the cell, two feet from the ceiling, is a small iron framed window. The prisoners had removed several stones above the win dow, some of the stones being fifteen inches square and six inches thick. The jail wall, being several stones in thickness, the hole did not penetrate it, but stones were so removed as to form a burrow or passago up through the wall around the edge of the steel ceiliug, the men thus crawling from the cell to the attic above. Passing along the attic to a point where they knew the high wall around the jail yard joined the building, they cut a hole through the roof with a knife and saw, and gaining the roof, it was an easy matter to crawl to the top of the jail yard wall. From the top of the wall, some thirty feet high, the ground was reached by the use of blankets from their cots. In the cell were found a largo flat chisel, and a narrow filo blade ten inches long. The latter had a wire twisted about one end for a handle. A couple of the jail table forks were al so found here. With these implements, the stones had evidently been remov ed. Just when they made their escape is not known. As far as could bo learn ed, no one heard the men in their work, either removing the stones in their cell, or boring through the roof was covered with slate. The escaped men were in Rupert yesterday morning shortly after seven o'clock, but where they went from that point is not yet ascertained. A boy passing the jail in the early morn ing saw two men of their description hurrying down the tow path toward Rupert. A little after seven o'clock, yoster day morning, two men entered Rob ert's grocery store at Rupert and pur chased a cau of oysters and some crack ers. The men also purchased bauauas at the store of I. M. Betz in the same town. Mr. Roberts thought he had seen the men before, but could uot re call who they were. That the men had outside assistance seems almost a certainty, at least to the extent of being furnished with the file and saws used in getting out. Cou uer has had several visitors since his confinement and even since his con viction. Free Notice Graft. Newspapers aro constantly importun ed to print free notices for this, that aud the other thing,and when the pub lishers call a halt the "old subscrib er," the "constant readei," and "an old admirer," very often become huffy and condemn the publications for be ing stingy aud without a charitable spirit. Asking a newspaper for free readers is the same thing as a newspaper man going into a clothing store aud after buying a suit of clothes asking the clothier to throw in a vest or hat free because the reporter bought a suit. It is identical, yet many fail to see it in the same light. Those who seek free notices never stop to think that the publisher has to pay a printer for putting tho notice in type, that the ink costs so much, that the paper costs so much, that to servo and carry tlie paper costs so much, the gas used, the wear on the machinery, and everything costs, which tho pub lisher must pay,yet these "free notice grafters" feel slighted if they are not accommodated. Death of rirs. Fanny Rlcketts. Mrs. Fauuy Ricketts, an old and highly esteemed resident, departed this life at 5:45 o'clock last evening. The deceased was a native of Bath, England. She came to the United States sixty years ago,settling in Dau ville,where she has since resided. She has been in feeble health for the past year, although seriouly ill for only three weeks preceding her death. The deceased was 83 years of age and is survived by the following children: S. F. Ricketts and Mrs. A. G. Harris, of Danville; Mrs. Henry Bjirger aud J. H. Ricketts, of Wilkes-Barre. The deceased was a charter member of the Trinity M. E. church. Tho funeral will be held Friday at 2 p. m.from the late residence on Cherry street. Congress Smashes Records. WASHINGTON, May 14.—The files of the index clerks at the State de partment show that the first session of the fifty-ninth congress has broken all records in the matter of completed leg islation up to this moment. Already more'than three thousand laws have been enacted which is between seven hundred and eight hundred more than in any preceding session up to the be ginning of the month of May. The greater part of this mass of law was made up of bills of a private nature and only about 260 of tho total enact ments were general laws. Left for the West. Clarence W. Seidel aud Guy Ruu yan, two of Washingtonville's best known young men, left yesterdav to seek their fortunes in the great West. Mr. Seidel is probably the better known in Danville as he was located here for several years. Mr. Seidel was born and raised ill Washingtonville, and was known throughout the county, and liked and admired wherever known. For some time Mr. Seidel has been engaged in operating a limestone quarry near Washingtonville. He was a member of the Danville Aerie of Eagles. Berwick A. C. & F. Employes 4,718. According to a statement issued Sat urday 4,718 mou are now employed at the Berwick shops of the America!) Car & Foundry company. This uuni „ ber will be increased during the suni « mer. WILLIE REIER HELD FOR COORT Eleveu-yeat-old William Reuner, who broke into the department store of S. Lowensteiu & company Sunday afternoon, was arraigned before Just ice of the Peace William V. Oglesby Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. He was held for court and in default of one hundred dollars bail was handed over to the custody of the sheriff. Information was lodged by Samuel Lowensteiu, which set forth "that William Renuer, on the 13th. day of May, 190(5, at 6p. m., did enter the store of Samuel Lowensteiu com pany with intent to commit a fel ony. " The youthful defendant was in the best of spirits at the hearing. He said that lie had a good bed at the jail and had had a good breakfast. Sheriff Maiers stated that the little fellow slept soundly all night. The proceed ings before the justice seemed to amuse the boy very much. "He showed the keenest interest as the evidence begau to accumulate against him and here and there vouchsafed explanations to clear up points that seemed obscure to the officers. How ho got into the money drawer, which opens with a combination, was one of the points that puzzled Joseph Lowensteiu. The boy quickly informed the justice that he had no trouble at all—that he just put his hand underneath and the drawer came opon. It is hardly likely that the boy fully realizes the enormity of his offence. Ho seemed to think that his bold prank at the department store was some thing smart, and he talked freely of other escapades that he had been in. It has been known for some time that there has beou a good deal of petty thieving going on about town and nuisance of various sorts committed that are to be attributed to boys. While uot shield ing himself young Reuner told all about the pilfering and other over tacts showing conclusively, as has beeu sus pected, that there is a star performer among the juveuiles of which such as Willie Renner is only a pupil. Justice Oglesby fixed the bail at one hundred dollars, but as no bondsman was produced thero seemed to be no other alternative than to remand the hoy to the custody of the sheriff. The little follow had no particular objec tion to going back to jail,but beseem ed to have an idea that he ought togo to a reformatory or a protectorate. He was pleased with the prospects of a trip and thought he ought to start at once. Ho was not altogether ignorant of what such a step implied and he had the limit of ten years fixed in his miud. State Shoot Great Success. The State shoot now in progress at Miltou is proving to be a great suc cess. 137 men faced the traps yester day and 32,000 rounds of ammunition were used. The officers of the Pennsylvania State Sportineu's association were elected yestorday and are as follows : President, H. M. F. Wordeu, of Har risburg; vice president, Allen M. Seitz, of Harrisburg; secretary, J. M. Hunk, of Chambersburg ; treasurer, James H. Worden, of Harrisburg : directors, A. A. Fink, Fred A. Godcharles and S. M. Karnes, Lebanon was chosen as the place to hold the next State shoot, Al lentown being the only competitor. 3 Twenty nine events were shot yes terday. The most important event was the Will K. Price memorial handicap. In this there were 112 entries, George E. Sausell, of Lebanon, winning first prize with 48 out of 50. There were 42 other prizes awarded in this event, amounting in all to S7OO. The Charles Flood memorial was also shot yester day, W. H. Hoey, of Bradford, taking the first prize, a beautiful guu. A Settlement is Effected. The injunction cases of M. F. Gulick and others against the Danville and Suubury Street Railway company,dis solved by Judge Savidge last summer, and appealed to the supreme court, have been amicably settled between the parties. The two cases were to have been argued before the supreme court next week. For some time past there has been a disposition to settle but some difficulty was experieuced in getting together and it was not until yesterday that an agreement was finally reached. This removes the last obstacle to the JJfull right of way between Danville and Suubury. It is hoped that the company's trou bles are now about over and that it will be enabled to proceed with the building of the road at an early date. Its Share of Road. Union couuty becamo entitled to 5500 feet in the recent State appropriation for 200 miles of macadamized road in different parts of the State, and work men are now engaged in making it,ex tending from the Lewisburg boundary line westward along the Mifflinburg pike. The contract price of the road is $1850.00, three-fourths to be paid by the State and the other fourth by the county and township in equal pro portion. The contractor is W. H. Lyons, of Harrisburg. To Erect Moniiment on Square. It has been 'practically decided by the Wilkes-Barre centennial commit tee to erect a fitting monument on the courthouse square to commemorate the celebration just passed. The statue will cost SIO,OOO or more and will be a haudsomo bronze cast. It has been suggested that Wilkes-Barre, the states men for whom the city is named, be the subects of the figure. Fourth of July Carnival. Lock Haven proposes to have more than an ordinary 4th of July celebra tion this ye,ar,its purpose being to con vert the whole week into & carnival. Active arrangements are being made for the event in which the merchants and businessmen are taking a lively iutorest. It will be a novelty in this section,and is likely to attract a large attendance from neighboring parts of the country. Pamphlet Laws Ready. The pamphlet laws of 1906 passed at the extra session of the legislature and approved by the governor, together with his vetoes on-certain resolutions, have just been issued in bound form from the state printing office. The volume contains 128 pages, which is quite large considering the session was called to enact but eleven laws and passed but ten. Now Isn't This handy? N S. Haines, of Ringtown.has con structed an automatic electrical de vice*at his mail box on route No. 1, connecting with his residence,the dis tanee of which is 425 feet from the mail box. When mail is deposited by the obliging mail carriers tho mech anism in the box will ring a bell in the house. Brew /laster Resigns. Louis Wentzler, brew master at tho Hanover Brewery, this city, has tend ered his resignation to take effect as soon as a successor can be procured. Mr. Wentzler will return to Lykens to take charge of the plant of the Lykens Brewing company of which he in part owner. Formal inspection of tho new river bridge at Catawissa was made by the State board of inspectors Saturday. They wore accompanied by the coun ty commissioners. The bridge was ac cepted. H. E, DODGE HEARD FROM A letter has been received in this city from H. E. Dodge, formerly gen eral secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of this placo, the contents of which will be noted with pleasure. Mr. Dodge, who was Mr. Lauuias ter's predecessor at the Y. M. C. A. at this place, during the last ten years has been at Warren, this state, where his work has been attended with the most encouraging results. lu connec tion with his duties as general secre tary he has done a great deal of evan gelistic work. During last year in ad dition to his regular duties ho travel ed ten thousaud miles and spoke to 15,000 men. Naturally a workor of this sort is much in demand. Mr. Dodge lias ac cepted the position of general socjotary of the Y. M. C. A. at Terra Haute, Ind., at the handsome salary of $2400. He enters upon his uew field on Juue Ist. Mr. Dodge's father is dead but his mother who is kindly remembered by Danville peoplo, survives and is still living with her son. Mr. and Mrs. Dodge are the parents of five children. Things Done With State Money. The auditor general's report for 1904 has just beeu issued from the State priuting office,and contains no recom mendations in the letter to the gover nor accompanying it, but it does con tain some interesting figures. For in stance. The State recoived duriug the year $3,302 for fishing licenses, $1,72(5 for huutiug licenses; sl2l conscience money and $212 fines for Sabbath break ing. The late secretary of the common wealth Fuller received $25,4(55 as fees and former insurance commissioner Durham $(>,218 as fees. The national guard cost $385,45(5 and forestry reservations wore purchased to the extent of $414,211. It cost $11,235 for forest fires, and $(551,9(59 to rebuild county bridges de stroyed by fire and flood. Almost every judge outside of Phil adelphia and Allegheny received ex tra compensation for holding court outside of his distict, one judge get ting $1,325 extra.

Lecturers and instructors employed at summer assemblies were paid s<s,- 294. It cost $3,100 to enforce the pure food laws. Only $122,505 was expended for good roads.* The State paid $41,700 to suppress epidemics. It cost $50,480 to light and heat the buildings in which were located State offices.

News of aii occau disaster comes from Germany, where three ships, with seventy-three men, went down in a hurricane in the North Sea. Few days pass that some country is not in mourning for a serious disaster or cal amity.

Presented With a Badge. % At a regular meeting of Montour Lodge No. 109, I. O. O. F., held Mon day night, John R.

The charm contains the Odd Fellows' emblem on one side and the Masonic emblem on the other TYPHOID PETER COSTS $14,000,000 4 * Typhoid fever is costing Pennsy lvania a money loss of about fourtoeu million dollars a year," declared Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dix on at a public meeting at West Ches ter Tuesday night,and he strongly urg ed upon the citizens the necessity of sanitary sewage disposal. Dr. Dixon stated that the as yet im perfect vital statistics of the depart ment of health showed that during January last there were in Pennsyl vania 3350 deaths from typhoid. ONE DEATH TO TEN CASES. "Estimating the proportion of deaths to cases at about one in ten, as we I have a right to do," said Dr. Dixon, "there wore it is safe to say, 3,850 cases of this pestilential torturing dis ease in Pennsylvania in January. Thi is something frightful to contemplate. "Consider the suffering, the distress, the anxiety, the domestic disturbance, the days of anguish aud the nights of torture, the burning heats, the glacial chills, the consuming thirst, the rack ing pains which often mark a single caso, aud then multiply that by thirty odd thousands aud you will begin to appreciate what typhoid means to the people of this Commonwealth. VICTIM VALUED AT *3,000. "All things considered wo should not be going to an extreme if we valu- 1 od the life of tho average typhoid vie- ! tini at $:i,000. Among them of course | nro men of immense valuo, and men i whoso value to the community as fact- 1 ors in the production of wealth and prosperity is beyond all ostimato. "Taking typhoid deaths as they go, old aud young, rich aud poor, produc ers aud non-producers, and accoptiug the valuatiou named above, wo find that the Stato of Pennsylvania lost in lives alone in the month of January last over a million dollars. Should this rate of mortality continue for tho year it is not difficult to make the calcula tion that the loss for tho year will ho over twelve millions, a sum nearly sufficient to pay the running oxpeiißes of the Stato government for that period. LOSS IN WAGES. "The average duration of a case of typiioid is not less than six weeks. The loss of productive labor during the illness of the individual cannot better be estimated than by days' wages. This of course is placing it on the low est possible level. No child, however, should be a productive laborer before the age of fifteen. Comparatively few aro. But as already said, typiioid is not so mucli a disease of youth or old aeo. but of early aud middle adult life. We shall bfc making due allowance on this score, therefore, if we estimate the number of cases at 2,500. 90.000 DAYS OF LABOR LOST. "Averaging the period of illness at forty-two days, aud leaving out Sun days, wo have thou thirty-six days of enforced idleness for each individual, or 90,000 days of work lost to the State. 1 think it will be conceded that $1.50 per day is not an excessive wage. Hence the money loss would amount to $135,000. "I have said nothing of the oxponso to tho family on account of loss of time by those who nurso, of doctors' bills, of drugs aud funeral expeuoss. Leaving out tho family expenses the anuual loss to the State from typhoid fever at tho rate at which it prevailed during tho month of January, 1U0<», sums up to $13,680,000. " 'Every man for himsolf and the devil take the hindmost,' has been up to this time the selfish principle of ac tion in all schemes for tho disposal of sewage in this State and Nation. It is time that we should tako a juster and moro righteous view of tho question. Wo begin at the wrong end of the pro position. We introduce copious sup plies of wator into our towns, which wo have no provision for getting rid of. What we should do if we were longheaded aud farseeiug, would be first to build our sewer system with au adequate sewage purification plant, and when that is complete, bring in our abnudant water. Then wo could return it pure and limpid to the stream w r hence we took it, without having it on our conscience that we are sending doath and desolation to other com munities. The present scheme of op eration has been not inaptly compared to 'putting the cart before the horse.' " The Word "Dollar." According to one authority, the word "dollar" Is a corruption of the German word "thaler," the form in Dutch be ing "daalder." All these different forms were derived from Joachim's Thai, a Bohemian town, where the Count of Bchllck, A. D. 1018, coined some excel lent pieces In silver of an ounce in weight. "From the name of the town came Joachim's thaler, applied to the above named coins as well as that of Schllcken thaler; hence Joachim's thal er pieces were first contracted Into Joachim's thalers and then Into thal ers. These coins gained such a reputa- I tlou that they became a pattern, so that others of the same kind, though made In other places, took the name, the word assuming different spelling I through tho Low Countries, reaching Spain as dollars and through Its prov inces transmitted to the western hemi sphere. where it was applied to coins i prior to the adoption of the federal cur ' rency. In coluage, the word 'dollar' is a favorite, being found under various spellings In almost every part of the globe." Tlie Flying Lizard of Java. The curious little animals known a§ flying lizards (Draco volans) aro only found in Java, and tiieir strange ap pearance is supposed to have beeu the origin of the dragon of the mediaeval eastern imagination.

"You opera slngors are all jealous, aren't you?" quizzed the friend of tho prima donna. "Oh, no," replied the prima douna, "lots of us never sang In church choirs."--Philadelphia Record. PROPOSITION IS GROWING Tlio proposition to bnild a road seveuty-fivo foot wide across the State of Pennsylvania, to tako in the central counties, and io extend from Philadel phia to Pittsburg, will increase in fa vor as it is more widely considered. The necessity for such a road is so ob vious that there will he little real op position to it. Pennsylvania has entered upon an | era of modest road building without trouehing upon the big surplus in the 1 State treasury. There has been con siderable talk of using the reserve in divers public undertakings, for the avowed purpo.se of dissipating it. At present the State's income appears ample for this work, and if thero be no disposition to reduce this income, at the next session of the legislature, assuredly the work could be begun and finished without reducing the surplus or diverting too much of the State's iucomo from ordinary channols. The advantages of good roads are many and they havo been set forth so convincingly for so many years that it would bo a waste of time to repeat them. An objection now made to the proposed road across the State is that it is advocated by automobilists and is intonded for tiieir especial use. That can be denied very emphatically. But what if it wore true? Would that fact make the roads the loss useful to any body also who might want to use them? The same objection was raised when it was proposed to improve all roads by a division of the costs be tween the State and the counties and townships. But those townships that havo had their roads improved find j that the people generally aro the groat I beneficiaries and that the auto people I aro benefited only incidentally, j When an improvement is bound to I benefit a whole township, or a whole i county, or a whole State, it is a mat tor of little importance that an in dividual, or a sot of individuals, pro | posos that improvement and pushes it to consummation. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Narrow Escape. Isaac Forred.an employe of the Road iug iron works, Mourday narrowly es caped sustaining a fractured skull; as it was he received a shocking gash on the head, which severed two arteries aud necessitated the insertion of near ly a dozen stitches. Mr. Forred was assisting the brick layers in the repairing of furnaces. The accident occurred while removing mi.- of the furnace doors, which are raised aud lowered by a heavy iron levor. Instead of using a "fork" de signed for detatching the door a pud dle bar, which stood convenient, was brought into requisition. The latter did not answer tho purpose very well and tho result was that the bar, to which was attached a weight of seventy-five pounds, fell, striking Mr. Forred on the right side of the head with stuuuing force. The man was completely kuockod out for the time being, while the flow of blood was fright fill. Georgo Strauslor another employe, stood near and tho bar as it fell struck him on tho shoulder. Mr. Strauslor was painfully though not seriously in jured, while lie sufficed to break the force of the low, which otherwise would no doubt havo fractured For red's skull. | |Mr. Forred was takeu to the office or Dr. Paales v where it was discovered that two arteries wore severed, which caused the copious bleeding. The phy sician had considerable difficulty iu stopping the flow of blood,after which ho stitched the large scalp wound and the man was taken to his home on Sildor hill. Diplomas Recommended. The faculty of the high school Monday evening presented a list of graduates, those whose averages in recitation are above 8") per cent., hence are entitled to diplomas. The members of the class, who rank in the order given, are as follows: Harry Schoch, Florence Price, Isabel Ulue, George Jacobs, Catherine Gear hart, Martha McClow, William Mc- Coy, Lucille Evans, Fred Evans, Alviu Spaide, S. J. Welliver, Laura Mann, Robert Armes, Annie Steinbrenner, Jennie Woodsido, Mauico Dreifuss, Stanley Morris, Florence Trumbower, Raymond Hauser.Mary Gill, Margaret Patton, Maurice Englo, May Moyer, Joseph Gill. On motion it was ordered that the above members of the senior class be granted diplomas. The report of the faculty showed that Charles Kosteubauder,Dora Jenk ins and Alico Payton in their recita tions wero below 85 per cent, and hence are required to take examina tions before being passed in scholar ship. The faculty stated that they feel morally certain that each of these will pass a satisfactory examination. On motion, thereforo, it was ordered that diplomas likewise bo granted to the last threo named provided that they successfully pass the examinations.

Carpenter, physical di rector at the Y. M. C. A.,for the past four years, has tendered his resigna tion to the board of directors to take effect on June Ist. The surprise and regret that the news of Mr. Carpenter's resignation will cause among his many friends in Danville will be intermingled with delight and congratulations when it is told that the engagement of Miss Jes sie R. Kramer to Mr. Carpenter has been announced. The young couple will bo married on VYednosday, the 25ird of this month. Mr. Carpenter has decided only re cently to take the step of severing his connections with the Danville Y. M. C. A. lie has under consideration sev eral business propositions, to one of which ho will devoto himself in the future. Just at present, however, he has not fully decided where ho will go. Mr. Carpenter came to Danville near ly four years ago from Reading, his homo town, to take charge of the phy sical culture department of the Dan ville Y. M. C. A. His talents in this line are most marked and he im mediately achieved success in his work, whioli time has only served to augment. His relations with the board of directors and with the men and boys in his classes have been most pleasant and of great profit to the latter. Mr. Caipouter, with the true spirit of the amateur physical culturist did not confino his attention to iudoor work, but judiciously directed the at tention of his pupils to the interesting out-of-door sjjorts during tho opou sea sons. The devotees of basa ball, tennis and tho other games are indebted to ' Mr. Carpenter for mauy a fine time and a good "buttle," fairly waged. Cheer up. All days cannot be full of sunshine.
