BURGESS ROBERS ~~
ORDERS ARRESTS
Burgess W. J. Rogers yesterday issu
ed some very specific orders to the
oolice relative to the observauce of
hallow'en There is already a good
deal of fun and frolic on the streets at
night which savors of hallowe'eu aud
the desire is to teach those who par
ticipate that, this year the observauce
must be kept within reasonable limits.
Burgess Rogers states that in his
opinion the hallowe'eu observance last
year was carried to the most absurd
extreme. .Fun and frolic of the legiti
mate sort,.he savs, lie has 110 desire to
curb,but when it conies to interfering
with the .rights of others.soiling cloth
ing, etc., he decl. res that it is time
for the officers of the law to step in.
As the observance was conducted last
year,he declares, there was moro hood
lum ism, if'not maliciousness about it
than harmless sport. A greater number
of personsjiad their clothiug ruined
by lamp black, flour, whiting and the
like than had occurred on hallowe'eu
for many years beforo, the trick being
to put the objectiouable powder, white
or black, into a bag and then to whack
it over the back or shoulders of an un
suspecting.person in passing.
Burgess Rogers yesterday ordered
the police.to promptly arrest any per
son using in the hallowe'eu observ
auce, lampblack, burnt cork, flour,
starch, whiting or anything that will
soil or djscolor.the person or clothing
of another, lie is thoroughly in oarn
ets in the matter and his orders will
be carried out to the letter bv the
officers. . .
Gang o!.Morse Thieves.
Liverymen all through this section
are be ing" warned against a gang of
eight men" who.are operating in cent
ral Pennsylvania as horse thieves. De
scriptions have been obtained of some
of the nien arid the wires have been
kept, busy informing every liveryman
in several counties. Three horses have
been stolen roceutly from Shamokin
liverymen, two being recovered and
oue was hirod last week from Dr. Ira
G. Coble, of Berwick, aud driven for
a couple of days before it was secur
ed. In following up the route taken by
the men who procured the horse from
the Berwick liveryman it was learned
that they made several attempts to sell
the turnout. At Mainvillc they ottered
the horse, buggy and harness for $125
but the mail who was' about to make
the purchase was scared thinking that
on account of the low price thore was
something wrong.* People living in the
country would do well to iuvestigate
before purchasing a horse from strang
ers.
Married in Michigan.
Oyde K. Pursel.son of the late Frank
Pursel and Miss Edna M. Flick,daugh
ter of E. V. Flick, both formerly of
Valley township, were married last
Wednesday at Grand Rapids, Mich
igan, by Rev. J. D. Brosy, pastor of
the Lutheran church at that place.
The Three Rivers Daily Hustler
speaks of the wedding as follows:
"The contracting parties are worthy
and highly respected young people of
this 6it.y, aud their large circle of
friends join in extending to them
hearty congratulations. ''They will
make their home in this city aud we
welcome tlieifi to our midst. Mr. Pur
sel is employed by the "Sheffield Car
company in the motor car department
and has proven himself an efficient
and capable workman. May happiness
aud prosperity crown their earthly
life."
Experimenting With Chestnuts*
TIIO department of agriculture at
Harrisburg ulidor the direction of
Professor Surface is uow engaging iu ]
a new work. A number of people liv
ing iu the hilly districts have tried to
utilize their laud by raising different
varieties of chestnuts. This experi-'
ment was first'tried thirty years ago;
at intervals ever since the same en
deavor has been made,but in each case
the attempt has elided in failure ow
ing to the pests which destroy the nuts
and make them unsaleable.
At present Professor Surface has
three packages of nuts aud is subject
ing them to exposure in cold storage,
using different - temperatures, if the
pests can thus 'be destroyed without
injuring the nut, a spljiitiou of the
problem may bo.reached aud Pennsyl
vania be given a now and -profitable
industry. '

THE FESTIVAL
OF ALL SAINTS
Wednesday the 31 of this mouth will
be celebrated in many parts of the un
iverse as Hallowe'en, the vigil of
Hallowmas or All Saints' Day. Though
sometimes neglected in modern prac
tice, the most essential part of the
Hallowe'eu ritual seems to consist 111
the lighting by each household of
a bonfire or caudles at nightfall. This
points to the very ancient and widely
diffused practice of kimlliug sacred
fires at cortain seasons of the year as
practiced by the Germanic and Celtic
nations.
The feast of All Saints originated in
the year (»10, when Pope Boniface IV
set apart a day for its observauce.
November Ist has for centuries been
recognized as All Saints' Day and its
observance is geueral throughout the
world.
Amoug the children Hallowe'en is
looked forward to with pleasurable
anticipation, for 011 that night all the
pranks known to boyhood and girlhood
may be indulged in with impunity,
and fun aud frolic hold full sway.
But the Hallowe'en pranks and tricks
are not. confined to the one night. >
Even now, many days distant from it,
the youngsters are indulging iu var- |
ious kinds of amusement peculiar to j
its celebration and door nights, bell '
nights, chalk nights, gate nights aud
others too numerous to mention are
being observed.
A Bright Essay on "Boys." i
The following essay 011 "Boys" was
submitted to a teacher of the Danville
public schools last week by oue of the (
little girl pupils. The little lady
strikes some thoughts that would bo '
a credit to an older mind :
"Boys are the worst thing imagin
able. espesaly when vou live with
them, I do not, but I had enough of
them when my three boy cousins came
over to spend the summer with me.
"I have also heard that boy-? are 1
very daring they ?ause their parent or
gaurdiau much trouble and sometimes
make them very axious.
"Boys also were out thier clothing
very soon.
"When boys are ten or eleven years
old they start to smoke and then they ,
do think they are very big when they
go puffing along the street and when '
they meet a girl they blow the smoke 1
in her face, at least some boys do.
"Before 1 started to school I had
a mother goose book and it said in
it that boys were made of snaps and
snails and all other things like that
and I beleavo that it is true.".
BEWARE OF THESE!
Some days ago a lady who was suf
fering from headaches at her home in
the city of Eastou took two pills that
had been left as "sample*" some time
before. An hour later she lapsed into
unconsciousness, and physicians who ;
, wore hastily summoned worked with j
her for several hours before they suc
ceeded in restoring her to conscious- j
uoßs. Commenting upon this incident j
the Eastou Free Press thinks the city
I councils should pass an ordinance pro
hibiting the reckless distribution or
"samples" of medicine. While it ad
mits that grown pooplo have been so
frequently warned that thero is no rea
son why they should be victimized, it
holds that the chief danger is that
"the pills will fall into the hands of
little children, who, finding that they
are coated with sugar, think that they
are candy and eat them."
Killed at Sunbury.
A very sad accident was that which
rosulted iu the death of Hannah Fer
tig, aged 18,of Sunbury, on Saturday.
Miss Fortig was returning from the
Susquehanna silk mills,where she was
employed, shortly after noon 011 Sat
urday and was walking between the
tracks, of the Pennsylvania's Slianio k
in branch near Sixth street. She did
not hear the approaching traiu until
it was nearly upon^her,when, turning,
she stood transfixed to the spot until
the engine struck her ami hurled her
down the embankment.
TIIO train stoppod and took the in
jured girl to the statiou and from
thore she was taken to the Mary M.
Packet* hospital. She had sustained a
fractured skull at the_ base of.the brain
and bruises and cuts all over her body.
Her case was hopeloss and she died at
2:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
IMPUDENT SERVANTS.
A number of citizens of Hellertown,
Northampton county, petitioned the
borough couucil to enact a curfew or
dinance. CouucJliueu retorted that
"their duties were already arduous
enough without having added to them
that of raisiug children for parents."
Without inquiring as to the wisdom
or otherwise of a curfew law, it must
be said that those couucilinen were
impudent and disrenpectful servants
of the poople, and we hope their con
stituents will teach them a sound los
sou iu the alphabet of ordinary courtesy
when they again come up for election.
Surprise Party.
Mr. and Mrs. James Long. Cooper

THE HOME BUILDER.
The Shenandoah Herald prints some
proper sentiments concerning the
home-builder, declaring that "the
most settled citizcu of any community
is the mail who owns his own home.
Homo building is equivalent to nation
buildiug. The foundation of the best
society is the hearthstone. Upon it is
erected the greatest glory of the
world's greatest achievements. It in
dicates stability, sturdy character aud
honest worth."
WILL REPLACE
DEFECTIVE BRICKS
Contractor D. ,T. Rogers, who put
down the brick paviug ou Mill street,
during the present autumn will proba
bly enter upou the important work of
replacing the defective brick, which
have become apparent in great, uum
bers in the comparatively short period
of tiiuo that the paving has been
down.
A word as to these defective brick.
There is much relating to them that
the public does not uudcrstand. That
they exist in great numbers apparent
ly out of all proportion to the good
oues, uo one will deny. At the same
time both the borough ami the con
tractor are amply protected aud there
is uothing about the purchase of the
highly recommended "paving blocks"
to suggest a "gold brick" transac
tion.
The borough council selected the
brick. The contractor is responsible
for tlio condition of the street for a
period of two years,which will expire
next .Tuuo. The company furnishing
the brick or paving blocks is uuder
bond to replace all defective oues for
! a period of ten years.
The only tiling that might invite
I criticism is the fact that so mauy
; bricks have showu up faulty. Along
many portions of the street there is
not a square yard of surface that does
not reveal broken or crumbling brick
aud that, too, where 110 ospecial pres
sure has been brought to bear. The
! council contracted for first-class brick,
if it got "seconds," while unfortun
ate enough, barring the trouble iu-
J cideutal to replacing broken brick,
I the borough will be to no extent the
1 loser.
1 Contractor D J. Rogers appeared
, before council at its last meeting and
stated that he is ready at any time to
overhaul the street-.
The Writing on the Wall.
Wheu Miss Ethel Swank, the attrac
tive supply teacher in the Hartman
school house, near Catawissa. went to
I her work Monday morning she was
surprised to find the door of the school
house battered down, aud laying in
splinters at one side of the porch.
Her surprise turned to terror when
I she entered the school house and found
written on the wall of the school room
these words: "Notice—lf SIOO Is not
putin the pump house touight the
beautiful school teacher will be miss
ing. "
The young lady knows of 110 one
who would do her harm nor can she
think of any reason why desperate
characters should select her for their I
I prey. The pump house is directly
.across the road from the school house
and all last night meu were on guard, 1
watching for any one who might come j
for the money. Miss Swank is acting j
as a supply for George Schuman, who j
is ill with typhoid fever.

Sent Brother to Asylum.
James Houesy, a Shamokin barber, I
is at present au inmate of the Dan

Houesy, soveral days ago, was taken
with an attack of the delerium trom

lock-up until Saturday morning, when
he was brought over to the hospital
at this place. On Saturday afternoon

A SAD PHASE.
Hazleton's cow-fining ordinance has
its sombre side also. The Hazleton
Daily Standard notes that among the
nine cows roceutly impounded under
I the new ordinance two were the prop
erty of a poor widow who was 00111-
I pellod to hand over $4 before she was
j given possession. And yet the law is
just and right. It might have been a
( good tiling for some local philauthro
| pist to have helped the widow pay that
J fino, but the city couldn't remit it.
Purchased Foust Farm.
James Foster purchased the farm
belonging to the Samuel Foust estate,
sold at public salo 011 Saturday. The
farm, which adjoins the Magill farm
011 Bloom road, contains 108 acres and
is a very fertile tract of land. On the
farm aro eight acres of woodland. The
price paid was six thousand dollars.
ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.

Artificial (lowers were invented by
pious nuns. In the Italian convents
the altars and shrines were up to the
end of the eighteenth century decorat
ed with artiilcial flowers, laboriously
put together, of paper, parchment and
other stiff materials. 111 a Venetian
warehouse the most wonderful pro
ductions of natural flowers are ex
hibited in glass eases, and iu many
eases, not only the richest and most
brilliant colors, hut the very scent of
the flowers has been stolen from na

are steeped in the perfume distilled
from the flower which it represents.
Last century a Swiss invented a ma
chine for cutting out the leaves and
petals, but It can only be used for the
smaller kinds, such as are wanted for
hyacinths, lilies of the valley and oth
er small flowers. 111 larger petals the

MRS. CAMPLELL'S
BAD ACCIDENT
Mrs. Clarence Campbell of near
Rushtowu met with a most uufortuu
ato accident while in this city Satur
day, as the result of which slio will
be unable to move about except with
the aid of crutches for many mouths
to come.
Mrs. Campbell, along with her hus
band, drove into town Saturday moru
iug. She was doing some shopping and
was just coming out of the Globe
Warehouse when she slipped and fell
on the stone step, which was Wet and
slippery as the result of the recent
rain.
Oddly enough the accident was \)f
the rare sort sustained by our towns
man, Frank G. Schooli, at the Wei
liver hardware building about a month
ago. Mrs. Campbell's left ankle was
dislocated and as the foot was turned
over the strain was so groat 011 the
tough band of tissue uniting the
bones or forming the joint that it was
torn looso from t he fibula or outer bone
of the lower limb. As the ligaments
were torn loose they carried with them
pieces of the bone itself, which will
have to be held firmly in place until
they grow fast. In addition to the dis
location, thereforo, it will be seen
that the injury is essentially a frac
ture or worse.
Mrs. Campbell was carried into tho
Globe store, where Dr. Patten was
called The dislocation was reduced
and the injury was temporarily band
aged, after which Mrs. Campbell was
removed to her homo. Sunday the
bono was set and bandaged by Dr.
Patten. Such injuries are regarded as
more serious than a common fracture
and it will no doubt be six months be
fore the woninn will be able to get
along without the aid of crutches.
A Prohibitionist Attracts Crowds.
A little variety was thrown into
affairs 011 Mill street Saturday night
by the appearance of a Prohibition
speaker, who employed \ery practical
and effective methods r.f attracting a
crowd.
The speaker was Rev. Vernon Har
iugtou, of Valparaiso, Ind , who, ac
companied by his wifo, arrived in
town during the day. During the af
ternoon a boy carrying a banner invit
ed tho crowds to meet at Mill and
Bloom streets in.the evening where
they would bo eutertained with songs
and the liko.
At tho appointed time one of the
biggest crowds that over assembled at
Mill and Bloom streets was on hand
and so were the entertainers—Re»r.
Vernon Hariugton and his wife. For
all around entertainment the occision
was never surpassed. The .speaker him
self was a first class singer and all tho
selections were airy and catchy, just
tho kind to attract people iu passing.
The lady rendered a couple of recita
tions with exceptionally good effect.
The prohibition address itself, al
though interrupted at intervals by tho
singing, etc., was one of the spright
liest and probably one of tho host ever
delivered iu Danvillo and proved quite
as entertaining to the crowd as tho
other features. All audience of several
hundred peoplo was present during
tho evening.
ROOSEVELT'S DOG
AT JAHISON CITY
0110 of tho boar dogs that won world
wide fame two years ago by assisting
President Roosevelt to run down bruin
in his famous bear hunt in the fast
nesses of Mississippi,has been brought
to Jamison City for tho purpose of
trac'l;i UK the bears that have repeated
ly been seen in that locality.

Jamison City lumber man,secured tho
dog from a friend of his who trained
the animal for the president. The dog
arrived iu Jamison Oity Tuesday.
Now watch tho upper end of Colnin-,
bia county for bear stories.
Using Poles for Advertising-
Parties, it seems, have revived tho
practice of posting notices and bills of
the smaller sort ou telephone, telegrapli
Hud other poles, which, as all should
know,by. this time, is against the law.
There was a time when' the practice
was indulged iu pretty extensively,
flaunting paper of all sorts often half
torn lose, and the streets presented a
most uncouth and objectionable ap
pearance. After tho law was carried
into force and advertisements of all
sorts were kept from the poles the
streets presented altogether a different
aspect. It is with regret therefore,
that a growing disposition to defy
authority and to tack advertisements
onto tho poles is noticod among the
people. All classes of poles are being
dofaced in this way, borough as well
as telegraph and telephone poles.
Among other things electioneering !
cards aro tacked onto many yf the
poles, but these along with other ail- !
vertisemeuts will have to come down.
»or the chief.of-police is ou the trail.
Official Ballot Has Arrived.
The olHeial ballot was received at
the office of tlie county commissioners
yesterday morning ami is now ready
for the printer. The ballot iu size and
coin] risition does not differ materially
from tho semi-official ballot, which
was sent to the commissioners' office
a week or so ago to assist them in
making contracts with the printer.
The "City party" aud tho Jefferson

vised ballot. In the square that was
occupied by the former is the "Judici

"Jeffersou party" we have "Majority

But one candidate appears under

AN OLD RESIDENT
MSSES AWAY
Michael H. Wallize.one of the oldest
and most widely kuown residents of
this vicinity,departed this life Friday
night, death being due wholly to the
infirmities of old age.
Michael H. Wallize was aged
years and 5 months. With two or three
exceptions he was the oldest man in
Danville. He was remarkably active
until a comparatively recent period.
His ruomory as related to recent events
was very poor but the scenes and in

county. He came to Danville in 1837,
when still a young man. 111 1840 he
was married to Harriet Richart, who
still survives at the age of 86 years.
On November 17th next Mr. and Mrs.
Wallize would have been married (Mi
years.
Mr. Wallize was a builder and con
tractor, but retired about the close of
the civil war. When he came to Dan
ville there were very few houses on
the north side of the canal. Ho was
very fond of dwelling upon the past
and of describing the niauy chaugos
that occurred iu Danville (luring his
long career.
Tho deceased along with his wife
was a member of the Grove Presbyter
ian church,tho venerable couple beiug
the only ones of the original members
of the Grove church surviving.
Mr. Wallize, although very feeble,
was able to be about until Thursday
of last week. At 3 a. 111. Friday symp
toms developed, which iudicatod that
the eud was not far off. He declined
ranidlv until 11 o'clock Friday night
when the end came.

is survived by a daughter. Mrs. I. A.
Parsing and one son, John R. Wallize,

MONTOUR RIDGE
RESPLENDENT
I
Within a few days past the landscape
lias blossomed forth into fairyland.
The hues of crimson, and gold clothe 112
grove and mountain side and the
streets of town where shade abounds be
come long vistas overarched with
autumnal glory.
Montour Ridge never appeared more
resplendont. Here are seen all the rare
warm colors of the American forest at
autumn,among which appear in pleas- j
ing contrast the emerald hues of the i
spruce and pine. It is a picture that is '
repeated over and over, wherever the \
mountains bear aloft their douse robe
of foliago and the valleys sleep under I
the siiade of grove and forest.
This is the time to travel abroad— |
to take long journeys, or, if time and
means will not permit, to make little
excursions into the country—if we
would fall under the spell of earth's
groatest charm and realize how this
old planet at times can hide its dross
and ugliness and lift its plodding mass
of humanity into realms akin to dream
land.
The glory that earth has taken on
will bo short-lived. The leaves, crim
son and gold today, will be russet to
morrow, or next woek. During the
cold rains of early November they
will be torn from the branches and be
driven before the merciless blast into
the lonely and by places of earth, while
the statoly trees now clothed with
autumual loveliness, will staud like
spectres with their naked branches out
lined against the leaden winter sky.
Session of (irand Lodge.
The Oild Fellows of Danville are pre
paring for a distinguished event,
which will take place on Monday,
November sth. Grand Master Bain
and the other grand officers of the
State will be present,the object of the
visitation being to admit the past
grands into the grand lodge.
The same officers will hold grand
lodge at Sunbury on Saturday evening,
November 3rd for the same purpose
The event, will bring together all the
leading Odd Fellows in this vicinity
aud probably several past graud mas
ters of the order, among them beiug
Charles Ohalfaut, Esq., of this city,
who is recovering from his recent ill
ness.
The inteution was to hold the graud
lodge session during the early part of
October in connection with anniver
sary exercises, but it seems that satis
factory arrangements could not be
made aud the plans had to be changed.
Fine Chicken Farm.
William D. Seidel, of Washington
ville, has a poultry farm that is gain
ing for him a wide reputation. ' His
specialty is Buff Wyaudottes, which he
raises for breeding purposes.
Mr. Seidel has two acres devoted to
his chicken industry, and thereon lias
installed chicken houses, runs, in
cubators and hatchers, all of the lat
est pattern aud construction. The re
putation of Mr. Seidel's flue breeds
have traveled far. Recently he receiv
ed an order for a rooster and four liens
from a chicken fancier at Spraguo,
Washington. Many other orders has
Mr. Seidel received from over a wide
range of territory both east and west.
TO PENSION TEACHERS.
The Erie Times is strongly in favor
of immediate legislation in the direc
tion of pensions for old and deserving
teachers. It asserts that "veterans of
tin. teaching profession who have had
little chance to create a surplus for
themselves while giving a life of ser
vice to the State, should bo the espe
cial care of the Commonwealth." Un
doubtedly they are among the most
useful aud deserving citizens of the
State. The work in which they are en
gaged is of quite perennial importance
and should commend them to the prac
tical gratitude and affection of the
l>ooplo.
CURTAILS DIVORCE.
The Greenville Record informs us
that there has beeu a remarkable in
crease in the number of applications
for divorce in Mercer county not less
than a dozen havimr beeu brought at
the current term. It adds that tho new
law which requires a deposit with the
clerk of the court of enough money to
cover all tho expenses of the case will
probably have a tendency to diminish
the number of applications.
OLEOMARGERINE.
The superior court of Pennsylvania
has just confirmed the contention of
Food Commissioner Warren that no
person can vend oleomargeriue in this
State without taking out a special li
cense for that specific purpose. This
will please every citizeu who believes
that when he wishes to buy butter he
ought to be given what he asks for.
Oleomargeriue is not harmful; mauv
persons are fond of it. But it should
be sold and eaten on its own merits.
