Stew art lias submitted to the war depart ment at Washington the "Return of Small Arms Firing" of the National Guard for the year 1906, the report just having been compiled. The report shows that there are 10, - 879 officers and members of the Guard, all of whom were classified, 861 as ex pert riflemen; 102 as sharpshooters; 3,- 280 as marksmen ; 1,988 as first class men ; 2,099 as second class men; 809 as third class men, and 2,250 as fourth class men. The standing of each com mand is given in the figure of merit, showing the following ratings: General Headquarters 41.87 Division Headquarters 42.10 Ist Brigade Headquarters (58.75 2d Brigade Headquarters 38.23 3d Brigade Headquarters 52.94 Artillery..

F was 67.80, and Captain J. Beaver Gearhart is iu re- i ceipt of a communication from Adjut ant General Stewart that commends the work done by the local command ; of the N. G. P. He says in part. "After a careful comparison of the return with the records of the adjut ant. general's office we find that every officer and enlisted man of your com mand who was a member during the rifle practice season of 1905, May Ist to October 31st, inclusive, has been ac counted for. "The adjutant general congratulates Captain Gearhart upon the very satis factory manner in which the rifle prac tice papers have been executed and filed in this office, and also upon tho excellent figure of merit obtained by his command, namely 67.80." A Private Telephone System. The Danville Stove and Manufact uring company has installed a tele phono systom at its plant which is proving a great convenience and time saver. There are Jfivo departments in the plant of the Danvillo stovo and manu facturing company—tho office, foun dry, shipping rooms, tin shop, and iron pattern shop. Each of those de partments is more or less remote from the other and in order to communic ate when dosired, it was formerly necessary to do a good deal of running backwards and forwards. Now each of the departments can be called up from the office and communication can be established in a moment with the fore man or other person wanted. The stove works is ono our growing and most of prosperous industries. It is worthy of note that it is not slow in installing improvements needed. At tho present time it is probably one of the best equipped plants in this sec tion. The private telephone system was installed by Cleaver Waguor, tho ris iutfZyouug electrician, who has charge of the clock factory. hotel Changes Hands. An important business transfer was completed yesterday afternoon when O. R. Drumheller purchased the good will and fixtures of the {Aldine Hotel, Sunbury, from Fred Aldiuger, who was the proprietor and conducted the hotel ever since it was built. The sale proved to be quite a sur prise and is said to have been con summated within a few hours time. Tho exact price paid is not known but is said to be about four thousand dol lars. The new proprietor took charge of tho hotel immediately after the sale was completed. Mr. Drumheller is the owner of the building and as is well known is a successful hotel man of many years ex perience. It is his intention to greatly enlarge the present building and make tho Aldino a hotel second to none in this part of the State. It is reported that Mr. Aldiuger will likely move to Millersburg where he will erect and couduct a hotel. DEATH TRAPS. Lewisburg is the defendant in a ten thousand dollar suit, brought by the family of Jesse Fetter, of Winfield. It will be remembered that Fetter was driving along the road at the Bucknell siding. At this point the road and track run side by side and his horse frightened and plunged in front of the train. There is every reason to be lieve that the borough will lose the case, not perhaps to the extent of tho sum demanded, but the verdict will be in the plaintiff's favor. In and about Danvillo there are several traps that will sooner or later involve the parties responsible in a damage suit, and it would bo well to give them attention before and not after an accident oc curs. Unparalleled Achievement. Unparalleled, it is in the history of any church congregation of any denomination in Central Pennsyl vania stands the achievement of the members of Pine Street Methodist church at Williamsport, in their effort to secure the desired amount of $50,- 000, half the estimated cost of the pro jjosed new church building which is j to occupy almost the entire block op posite to the city hall, where the pre- ( sent church now stands. Nearly the entire amount of $50,000 was subscrib ed at the Sunday morning service. The list was headed by J. Wood Mus sina with a subscription of $5,000. There is surely no dearth of Demo- < cratic candidates this year. FIRE PROOF PATTERN HOUSE The big fire proof building at the stove works designed to house the valu able patterns is practically completed. Today the work of removing: the pat terns will bo begun. When grouud was broken, less than two months ago, J. F. Montague, who has the work in charge, declared that the building would be completed and in use before June Ist. As the sequel shows he was not over confident. While two rows of shelving remain to be in stalled and some work on the floor re mains to be done, the building is oth erwise completed. It is an odd-look ing structure it is true, although ad mirably adopted to its purpose. It is 120 feetx36 feet, one story high, built of brick, the walls being without a single window or opening of any kind with the exception of one door at the western end next to the foundry. The roof is lined with corrugated galvaniz ed iron. The door and door frame are lined with asbestos and iron so that not an iucli of woodwork is exposed on the outside of the building. Light is admitted through twenty skylights, each 2 feet by 3 feet, insert ed in the roof. The skylights are form ed of hammered glass three-eights of an inch thick. The glass in each sky light is composed of one big plate and to properly insert these without any mishap proved no easy task. This branch of the work was in charge of Edward Yeager. Not only will the fire proof building insure greater security to the patterns but the additional and bettor arrange ment of space will admit of a more advantageous classification. With the patterns as piled up promiscuously in their old quarters there was frequent ly no little delay before the patterns wanted wore found, whereas, in the new quarters, it will be possible to proceed at once to the very spot where the right patterns are stored. Killed by Train. George Federhoof,aged seventy-four years, a drayman living at Moutours villo, was killed shortly after noon yesterday at the Reading railroad crossing at that place. He was warned that a train was coming by a number of employes of the factory, who were nearby,and one even attempted to stop | his horse, but it is believed that Fed erhoof, who was slightly deaf and could not hear the train, believed that they were making sport of him. At any rate he did not heed the warning and drove onto the track directly in front of the approaching train. Ab his wagon was squarely on the , track it was struck by the train. Mr. Federhoof was thrown out and caught on the cowcatcher, head downward. Ho was carried this way for a short distance, when he fell uuder the eng ine. As soon as possible the train was stopped, but not until the engine and three cars had passed over the unfor tunate man. He was dead when tak en from under the wheels. His left leg had been broken and his right was terribly mangled. He had received a number of cuts about the head and bodjv Coroner Gilmore was at once summoned. Federhoof is survived by one daugh ter, Viola, who kept house for him, and one sou, Harry. Death of Well Known Railroader. Snydertown lost ouo of its oldest and most respected citizens in the death of George W. Simonson, which occurred yesterday morning at 9:80 o'clock, lie having reached the age of 70 years. His health had been impaired for sev eral years by a stroke of paralysis, which eventually had a fatal termina tion. - He was well known throughout this section having held for a number of years at Snydertown the position of section foreman on the Shamokin div ision of the N. C. railroad. He leaves ;i widow and six children, Louisa, residing at home, Daniel, an engineer on the Central Railroad of New Jer sey, Worral, an employe on the same road, C. W., residing in Scrauton, Thomas, resident of Sunbury, and (Jora, "i New York <iry. He was a genial and kindly man and had many friends. Notwithstanding the active life ho led he was a very heavy man, his weight at one time be ing 372 pounds. Hargreaves* Circus. "Of all animals that aro trained for circus performances the elephant is the most intelligent." The above state ment is made by an agont of the Thom as Hargreaves railroad circus, which will exhibit in Bloomsburg on Satur day, May 26 and in Milton, Monday, May 28. This agent ought to know, for he was formerly a successful train er. Among other things the man said: "Elephants learn with remarkable quickness and they don't show that aversion to their tricks that the anim als of the cat family exhibit. I have seen elephants practice difficult tricks voluntarily—when they didn't know anybody was around. "About seven weeks are roquired to teach a lion or bear a trick, while a little longer is required to teach a leopard or a tiger.'' It is the opinion of this former train er that the above wild animals have evon more capacity for learning ihau the horse. He says that, while a tiger can be taught to walk upon its hind legs in three or four months, it will require as many years to teach a horse to do the same trick. Frost and Ice. Monday morning there was a heavy frost, while thin ice formed at differ ent points. At 5:30 a. m. mercury stood at 34 degrees at the Montour house; at noon it was at 65 degrees, while during the entire day the temp erture was only a little higher than on Sunday. Early risers about town Moudav saw plenty of frost. Between South Danville and Kipp's run the frost was very heavy. Emery Eckman.who lives near Klinesgrove, was in this city yes terday and reported ice in the vicinity of his home. Sweet corn and early potatoes here and there aro growing nicely. That these crops suffered to some extend would soem quite likely, although it is stated that a heavy fog made its appearance about 4 a. m. which had the effect of neutralizing the frost. About Washiugtouville the frost was quite heavy and it is feared that the early vegetables sustained damage, al though just how much it is not possi ble to say. VETERAN ASSOCIATION. W. R. Clark, station agent; David Nuss, section foreman, and son, W. J. Nuss, of South Danville, are on the list of veteran employes of the Penn sylvania railroad, having served 21 years and upward. These gentlemen attended the annual banquet of the employes' veteran association held in the board of trade building at Harris burg Saturday evening. They were de lighted with the reception given them by the city, which treated the banquet ers, filling four cars,to a ten mile trol ley ride about the city and thence to Reservoir Park, a very beautiful re sort. The banquet was attended by 260 omployes embraced by the Susque hanna, Eastern and Sunbury divisions of the Pennsylvania railroad. Spanish War Veterans Attention There will be a meeting of the Span ish war veterans at the armorv next Saturday eveuiug at 7:30 o'clock to organize a camp of United Spanish war veterans. BLACKSMITH'S BAD INJURY P. M. Kerns, the well known black smith. met with an accident Tues day, in which he sustained a fracture of the jaw. The injury affords an in stance of the irony of fate, as the ac cident was sustained while manipulat ing an invention for shoeing treacher ous horses, the very purpose of which was to protect the blacksmith from in jury. The accident, however, was no fault of the invention, but, as will bo seen, was due to an unforeseen cir cumstance. Ordinarily, the process of horseshoe ing at the present day goes on about the same as when old men were boys; the blacksmith, taking horses as they come, unflinchingly walks up to tire fidgety and nervous steed, takes up the animal's leg and—either succeeds in shoeing him or takes a header across the shop,propelled by the horse's hind leg. P. M. Kerns' blacksmith shop on Northumberland street seems to bo the only one in which is installed stocks, a modern invention to assist in shoe ing horses disposed to kick or which are otherwise apt to prove trouble some while iu the blacksmith's hands. Tuesday at Mr. Kerns' shop a crowd assombled to witness the shooing of a large stallion. The horse,a noble animal, weighing 1450 pounds and belonging to Joseph Kimbol, positively refused to submit to shoeing in the ordinary way and it was decided to place him in the stocks. The unsuspecting horse was led in to position and two heavy well braced beams,fastened to the wall iu front of the animal, and swinging on hinges were brought together one on each side and locked together behind him enclosing the horse securely as in shafts. A wide girth was placod un der the animal; two heavy ropes, one taking the place of the breech baud and the other the breast strap, were placed in position. All that remained was to apply a lever, winch gave suffi cient purchase to raise the horse from his feet and hold him so tight that to struggle would bo futile. The change that came over the ob streperous horse was remarkable in deed. A restless and dangerous animal a moment beforo that resisted the blacksmith at every turn ho now half hung and half stood helpless and ap parently willing to submit to any thing. An attachment iu the form of an iron arm by means of a crank was next swung around and manipulated so as to lock the horse's leg, enclosing it at the fetlock, and stretching it out in proper position for shoeing. Up to this stage the horse shoer was enabled to keep at a perfectly safe distance. All danger, now removed he success fully pared down the hoof and nailed on the shoe. The attachment for hold ing the leg was next adjusted on the otlier side and the horso's leg was se cured. Mr. Kerns himsolf had|hold of the bar and was adjusting it so as to bring the aumal's leg in the proper position for shoeing, w T hen iu an unfor tunate moment, while the bar was not securely held by the key, the stallion attempted to kick, throwing the top of the bar violently outward striking Mr. Kerns on the right jaw. The man reeled uuder the terriblo blow and a moment later it was ascer tained that his jaw was broken. Mr. Kerns was taken to the office of Dr. Stock, where he received surgical aid, after which ho was removed to his home on Nassau street. Mr. Kern had his leg broken a few years ago while attemnting to shoe a treacherous horse. It seems too bad, indeed,that he should sustain a second injury, especially while taking every precaution to avoid accident. He will no doubt bo incap acitated for business for some time. Annual Literary Contest. The annual contest between the Gar field and Lincoln literary societies of the Dauville high school will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock. This auuiial contest has come to be an event of great interest in the school, year, and for the occasion the pupils of each society elect their most cap able orators and writers to represent them.

DeWitt's park has boon secured for the home games and a strong team is being signed. The opening game will bo played on Memorial day, for which occasion the management has a num ber of (dubs under consideration. The outlook for a good season's sport is first class. A number of the stars who graced the diamond for Danvillo during former years, will play with the home team again this year. W. H, Seidell Will. The late William M. Seidel left a will in which he bequeathed all his property to his brother, John Seidel, of Philadelphia, and Daniel F. Goug er, of Limestone township, this coun ty. A Junt Man. A slight sliower was falling, and Mr. Ferguson discovered, when on the point of starting for church, that there wasn't an umbrella in the house fit for use. "You can borrow one from the Thompsons next door," suggested Mrs. Ferguson. "They never goto church." "No, Laura," he auswered, with Iron firmness. "It Is wrong to borrow um brellas on Sunday. I should have bought one yesterday.l shall punish myself for my carelessness by not go ing to church this morning." Thereup on he proceeded to punish himself still further by reclining in an easy chair and reading the morning papers.- Tlic Great Chain. I The "great chain," the links of which were two and one-half Inches square and one foot long, each link weighing 140 pounds, was stretched across the « Hudson river at West Point, just be- ] low Fort Clinton, May 1, 1778, to pre vent (lie British warships from ascend- 1 lug the river. The total weight of the 1 chain was lrto tons, and Its length was \ 450 yards. Parts of It are still pre- ' served at West Point. MANY APPLY FOR POSITIONS The work oil F. Q. Harkinan'B silk mill, South Danville, is now nicely under way. The public will be in terested to learn that in order to ac commodate all the help that applies Mr. Hartman lias been obliged to change his plans twice, building larg er each time. Yesterday he staked off an additional space of 35x50 feet, which will be aaded to the mill. The plant being built with the addition will be 165x50 feet. Most excellent progress has been made by the masons, who now have the stone foundations well under wa.y. Mr. Hartman yesterday stated that from present appearances it seems like ly that by next week the bricklayers will begin work. A quantity of stone needed to complete the foundation as well as a good many brick for the walls are on the ground. The work will be pushed along on double quick time and people will be surprised to see at what an early day the new building will bo ready for ttie mach inery. Mr. Hartman's industry is very warmly welcomed on the south sido as is attested not only by the largo num ber of persons applying for positions in the mill, but also by the kind ex pressions indulged in by the residents, all of whom seem to rejoice in the fact that Mr. Hartman has succeeded in se curing such a favorable site. Hartman himself is encouraged goes without saying : the manner in which he responds to public sentiment by en larging his plans shows that lie has full confidence in the people and in tends to do well by them. Returned to Bloomsburg. Charles Becker and Fred Connor wero brought back to Bloomsburg Monday morning and are now once more lodg ed in the Columbia county jail, but this time they are in separate steel cells on the first tier. Before returning the men to jail , they were taken before Justice of the Peace Jacoby and given a hearing 011 ; the charge of jail breaking, and each j was held in SIOOO bail. Their trial 011 this charge will not come until their present sentences have been served. An enormous crowd of men, women I and children gathered at the 8 :35 D. I L. & W. train in Bloomsburg yester- J day morning to see the arrival of the two captuied men. The throng follow- • ed to the justice's office, increasing in ! numbers as it weut.uutil it resembled I a mob. Both the men are in bad con dition, and emaciated, but Connor nevertheless carries his usual loquac ious and talkative manner that borders on the swagger. Becker is gifted with j less gray matter than his partner, and ; assumed an air of careless indiffer- J ence. Connor Monday throw some light j upon their escape by telling that it ! was at 1 o'clock Wednesday morning j that they got out of the jail. The farmer, Batey, with whom the 1 fugitives were talking, when tho speci- i al officers, Fahey and Macken, captur ed them,has been arrested and held in ! SIOOO bail for providing Connor with J a revolver. It appears he was one of 1 the friends of Connor who had been j assisting the men to get away. Lewisburg Sued for Damages. A suit has been filed in the Union ' county court against the borough of j Lewisburg asking damages to the amount of $15,000 for the death of Jesse Fetter, a young man of Winfield who was ground to pieces under the wheels of a Reading freight train last October at the university siding. Fet ter met a horrible deatli while driving along the road on his way to Lewis burg from Winfield. He was driving in a buggy and as ho neared the univ ersity siding a southbound freight on the Reading caused his horse to plunge down a small embankment onto the track under the wheels of the train. Fetter was so badly injured that he died at the Sunbury hospital. The plaintiff contends that the borough of Lewisburg is negligent in permuting such a dangerous driveway to exist without guards or any protection. That when the railroad was construct ed through that section it encroached upon the public road, which was nev er widened, permitting a dangorous condition to exist. At that point the j public road is on the right of way of 1 the railroad and is not protected by any guard railings, which decisions of ! the courts insist are necessary. REMOVING A LANDMARK Hon. RS. Ammorman has broken ground for a fine|bam on tho rear of his lot, on Library avenue, to replace the old frame structure that 4 formerly occupied that site. Tho new building will bo of brick, two stories high, 35x22 feet and will contain beside stable room, an apart- { ment for vehicles. A large number'of j brick of first quality are on the ground, while a portion of the stable founda tion is already laid. The fine barn will add to appear ances along Library avenue, every building of which is clearly in view from Mill street. Old landmarks are apt to be"cher ished with fond sentiment ,bv| some people, but the older the buildings be come the loss sightly they appear |to the great mass of humanity and the more they are apt]to detract from the value of surrounding property. There are a great many of these landmarks about Danville in the shape of old barns, some of which are in the very verge of tumbling down. The best the owners can do is to imitate Mr. Am merman's example and get rid of them as soon as possible. Birthday Surprise Party. The home of Mrs. Elizabeth Boat,of Riverside, was the scene of a pleasant surprise party oil Saturday last given iu honor of her 79th birthday. Amoug those present were: Rev. and Mrs. L. D. Ulrich and daughter Naomi, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Roat and daugh ter. Edna, Mrs. Hannah Chesnut, sou Gorman and daughter Helen, Mrs. Elizabeth Thatcher, of Danville; Miss Anna Nace, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Augustus Traub, Mrs. William Austin and son Robert, of Suubury; Mrs. Clarence Cleaver, Mrs. Daniel Drum and daughter Helen,of Roaring Creek ; those from Riverside were: Mesdames Mark Hess and son Joseph, Solomon Peusyl, Elizabeth Pegg, Sarah Cleav er, Samuel Morrall, William Clark, Jacob Berger, Peter Berger, Hazlet, Elizabeth Yeager, Ogden Ostrander, Theodore Kimbel, John Unger, Ed ward Roat and daughter Edith, Ranee B.

Shannon and daughter Miriam, William Kimbel and daugh ters Harriet, Mabel and Dorothy, Eli zabeth Roat,Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kinn and daughters Annie, Hazel and Har riet and Mr. Peter Hucllant. *«nary Ann" a Pleasure Craft. The "Mary Ann" a pleasure yacht! Yes, our old friend of Catawissa ferry fame. Strange as this may sound to all acquainted with her past record, the noble craft has been purchased by the management of Columbia park, aud has been transformed into a plea sure boat as an attraction at the park the coming season. Chester Wants the Firemen. "The delegates representing the Chest er fire companies will attend the State Volunteer Firemen's convention at Gettysburg, determined to bring the next annual convention to Chester. City council and the board of trade will also make an urgent request that Chester be selected as the next conven tion seat. TO ASSIST THE VETERANS The Sous of Veterans all over the union this year, are coming to the front iu a very prominent way to carry out one of the purposes of the order, which is "to honor the memory of tho horoic dead;th rough historical exercises and the proper observance of memorial day and Uuion defenders' day." Camp Colonel Eckman,No. 42, S. of V., this city, has appointed the fol lowing members on a committee to as sist tiie veterans of Goodrich post, in decorating tho graves on Memorial day: Comrades Strickland, Reilly, A. Reilly, Charles Beyers, .Tolm Pattou, Charles Gardner,Frauk Garrow, Jesse Weaver. William Wertmau, Edward Aten, Fred Roberts, and Orvis Os wald. The committee will meet with the voterans at the post room ou the morn ing of memorial day and will be as signed to the different cemeteries. Eight of the abovo hove been selected as the firing squad to fire three volleys over the graves at the close of the ex ercises at the cemeterv. They are comrades Fatten. Oswald, Roberts. Aten, Wertmau, Strickland, Garduor awl MotteTn. Frank Garrow lias been appointed as bugler and lie will sound taps at tho cemetery ou memorial day. The above sous of vetermiH, who will actively participate ou memorial day, will be uniformed and fully equipped. Tiie ranks of the G. A. R. are each yoar becoming thinner, while those who survive are less able to bear the heat and burden of the day. With eacli memorial day from now on there will be moro and more for tho sous of vet erans to do. Appreciating this fact tho mombors of Colonel Eckman camp here are very anxious to see their membership increase so as to insure permauauce and prosperity. Tho local cam]) was orgauizod some thing over a year ago aud has forty five members, which is much too small, considering that there are iu Danville and immediate vicinity much over three hundred eligiblos. The purposes of the order could not. be more uoble aud patriotic. Rricfly sot forth they are as follows: To perpetuate the sacrifices of fath ers and tlioir sorvices iu maintaining the Union. I To inculcate patriotism; to teacli I truthful history aud to spread and sus- I tain the doctrine of equal rights, un- J iversnl liberty and justice to all. I To help the members of the G. A.

In the oft! t* Konifo and At Utcli'M (■ PC*M ( Lake. One oC tho sights of tho (jreat Salt lulvo of Utah, developed by the prog ress of scientific industry, Is the sys tem of immense salt making ponds on the shore of the lake. At Saltair the lake water is pumped into a great set tling basin, where the impurities fall to the bottom and, containing much Iron, form a reddish deposit. From this basin the water Is drawn off Into "harvesting ponds" averaging 90,000 square yards in area and six inches In depth. The ponds are kept supplied with water, as tho evaporation goes on j l'roin May to September, when the salt j harvest begins. The water liavfhg dis- I 'appeared, a dazzling layer of salt two Jl* three inches thick is found covering tho bottom of tiie ponds, which is bro | Ucn up with plows before being con veyed to the mills, where the final crushing and winnowing are done. In general the salt marshes of the IVOIIKO region represent a kind of pock et or rift In the soil. They are to be found in considerable numbers In tho district of Sambalt, and there are also I many of these marshes on the loft j bank of the river Lufubu. Tho walls of the rift show first a layer of black ish clay mixed with saud und contain ing numerous quartz aud silex peb bles or more exceptionally black and white shells, fragments of oyster and mussel. Then comes a layer of strati fied and gray blue schist. The soil of the depression also contains schist as the greater constituent and is covered by a layer of sandy clay. In order to collect the salt the natives dig a fun- j nel shaped hole from six to ten feet deep. The cavity soon fills up with a warm and clear water, which is strongly charged with salt. It comes up with considerable pressure, and the liquid seems to boll. The salt Is partly precipitated at the bottom of the cav ity and mixes with the soil to form a blackisß mud. The latter Is washed out with hot water to extract the salt, which is then crystallized from the so lution.
