BOY CHARGED WITH ARSON & LARCENY Charged with the high crimes of arson, breaking and entering, also larceny, John Yarrish, a sixteen-year old Polish boy, of Marion Heights, near Shamokin, is now locked np in the Northumberland county jail await ing a hearing. Special Officer A. J. Brittain made the arrest and preferred the charges for the Pennsylvania Railroad com pany. Young Yarrish was in Sanbury Monday and started for home ou a freight train sometime daring the forepart of the night. About two o'clook yesterday morning he broke into the pump station and warehouse of the railroad company at the Weigh Scales, stole several razors and other articles belonging to L. C. Moore, the man in charge during the day. After committing the larceny, it is alleged, he set fire to the building and then fled. Shortly after a Snnburv crew passed and discovered the (Ire, extinguished it in time to prevent any serious damage. The red tongues of destruction,however, had licked their way to within several feet of 18 gal lons of gasoline in air tight barrels. Later another crew hearing of the atTair recalled having seen a suspic ious character in a box car which stood ou a siding down the tracks. The inmate of the box car was Yar rlßh, and he was later takeu into cus tody by Officer Brittain. When arrest ed the boy had the stolen razors oil his person aud carried a loaded revolver. When taken before Justice Carpenter, Yarrish made no denial of breaking into the building but contended he did so for the sole purpose of getting warm. He also pleaded not guilty to the arson charge,explaining the origin of the fire by saying that a lantern which ho lighted had oxploded. Prison records show that Yarrish has already served tlirity days in jail for the theft of a bicycle. The evid ence is so strong against him on three charges that he has little chance of escaping conviction and his punish ment, it is predicted, will be as severe as his crimes merit. Advances Wages. The Heading Iron' company yesterday morning made au announcement a that will fill the hearts of all iron workers with joy. The announcement, which simultaneously with this article ap pears in the Heading aud probably a few other newspapers, state that the wage schedules now in force in the Reading Iron company are being revis ed and a general advance will shortly be made in all its departments. Recently, the announcement con tinues, the prices of some of the prod ucts of the Reading Iron company hate advanced, aud wages will be equalized and adjusted to conform to the improved market conditions. The tube works, blast furnaces, rolling mills, foundries and machine shops will all be included in the advance. The exact date of the advance and what per cent, will be granted is not stated in the announcement. How it will affect puddling—whether it will meet the specific demands made by the puddlers.peuding fuller and more def inite information.is a mutter for con jecture It is stated, however, that the advance will be general, affecting all departments. The advance is in line with the policy ot the Reading people anil follows an advance of ten per cent, recently granted to all the employes of the Reading railway com pany. It is scarcely to be doubted that the advance announced will bring the lab or difficulties existing at the big mill in this city to au end. All of which constitutes the very best of news not only for the iron workers of our town, but also for our business men and cit izens in general. Tlio big mill has been closed since June. Up to the present'the outlook lias been dark aud unpromising and no one would have been surprised if the big plant would have remained idle all winter. The brighter prospects coming now as they do on the eve of winter will be hailed with all the greater joy. Funeral of John Ploch.

HEALTH DEP'T LAEORATORY OPEN In a letter addressed to over ten thousand physicians in Pennsylvania, State Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon has aunouueed the opening of the laboraiories of the department of health, located at the University of Pennsylvania. The announcement will be received with great satisfaction not only By the physicans but also by the people of the State, especially in the rural districts, because of the opportunity afforded doctors to accurately diagnose conditions by the most improved sciea tific laboratory methods. The opening of the department of health laboratories ranks in import ance with the establishment by Health Commissioner Dixon nearly a year ago of five hundred stations for the free distribution of diphtheria antitoxin among the poor throughout the State. Dr. Dixon's letter to the pliyisciana is as follows: "Recognizing the great beuefits which must accrue to the individual practitioner of medicine and his pati ents as well as to the public health through the operation of a fully equip ped laboratory, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania offers gratuitously to the physicians of the State, the facilities of such an institution. The accom plishment of this subject lias been one of the oliief aims of the department ever since its creation and the con summation at this time is due in a great measure to the spirit of generos ity displayed by , the University of Pennsylvania in placing at our im mediate disposal, rooms well adapted to the needs of the laboratory The scope of the work embraced in this division of the department is set forth some what briefly in the accompany ing pamphlet. If you desire to avail yourself in any way of the use of the laboratory, kindly indicate upon the enclosed postal tne number of outfits desired for the collection of specimens and the same will be provided,togeth er with the blank request cards, ad dressed envelopes aud return wrappers for the packages. "The outfit will be for j'our practice outside of municipalities having lab oratories for the same purpose. "Requests should be sent in prompt ly so that the department may have some estimate of how many outfits will be needed aud thereby avoid any unnecessary delay aud the purchasing of an over-supply.'' Accompanying the letter is a small booklet ontlining the character cf the work it is proposod to do in the labor atories. The laboratory facilities offer ed are for work only in connection with physicians' practice outside of municipalities having laboratories for the same purpose, as Philadelphia, Pittsburg, aud several of the other larger cities. Health Commissioner Dixon will bo assisted in oarryiug. ou the work of the laboratories by Dr. Allen J. Smith, one of the leading piiysiciaus in this country,who has beon appoint ed director of pathology,and Dr. Her bert Fox, chief of the laboratories.

While Mr. Deibler, the proprietor of a grocery store, aud his clerks were busy in the rear of his store three small girls entered and approaching the proprietor asked him for wrapping paper with which to wrap up several blankets which they were carrying. Mr. Doibler acquiesced aud furnished the paper. The threo children went to the front of the store aud beside the couuter in which was the money drawer. Seem ing to be busily engaged in wrapping their bundles no attention was paid to them. A few minutes after their de parture Mr. Deibler had occasion to goto the money drawer and then dis covered that he had been robbed to the extent of almost #SO, in two twenty dollar bills and small change. The children had cleverly performed the robbery and departed. The police are now after them. Family Reunion. A happy family reunion was held Sunday at the home of David Foust, Limestone township.

Death of Well Known Lady. Mrs. Eliza Butler, window of the late Thomas Butler, of Washington ville, died Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the home of her sister and brother, Sallie and William Johnson, on the Jolmsou farm in Madisnu town ship, Columbia county. Mrs. Butler was on a visit to the home of her brother and sister about a week ago when she was taken ill, aud for several days before death came she was iu a critical condition. The de ceased was a life long resident of the locality in which she died. She was a most kind hearted and generous lady aud was generally beloved by all who knew her. Her husband, the late Thomas Butler, who preceded her to the grave ten years ago, was at one time associate judge in Montour coun ty. Mrs. Butler was a member of the Washingtouville M. E. church. Beside William aud Sallie Johuson, who reside ou the Johnson homestead farm, Mrs. Butler is survived by two brothers, Prank aud Amos, who live iu Anthony township. Four children survive Mrs. Hattie Cole, of Wilkes- Barre; Misses Margaret aud Katie aud Mr. Kent Butler, of New York City. Chicken Steps Are Removed. j James V. Gillaspy has completed I the brick pavement iu frout of his j hotel property, Mill and Front streets. The "chicken steps" leading from the pavement at the Heddens house to the old grade at the property below,which have been au eye sore and a great in convenience to pedestrians, are happily things of the past and Mr. Gillaspy's new sidewalk is now ou the same grade with the Heddens house pavement. The westeru side walk, which previously was avoided j because of the chicken steps will here after be as much frequented as auy. Mr. Oillaßpy. along with other im provements, is having the uew stone wall along the base of his hotel cover ed with a coat of cement. Jere Kuorr, who lately completed the brick pave ment in front of Foust Bros , brew ery, is doing the work and is makiug a very good job of it. Improving Bloom Street. The Danville and Blooinsburg street railway company is placing a course of crushed limestone ou Bloom street between, the P. & K. crossing and A street, where the trolley track was re cently removed. A top course of flue material will next be applied, which will fix this section of Bloom street up iu flue shape. The upper section of Bloom street that was reconstructed with cinder has been much improved through the painstaking effort of the street com missioner. All the chunks of cinder have been removed, so that the street as a general thing each side of the track is tolerably smooth and affords fairly good driving. One of the chief difficulties with Bloom street at that point lies iu the fact that the space ou each side of the trolley track is too narrow, while the deep ditches add to the danger and in convenience of driving. No matter how much labor and expense is put on the roadway the street so long as these conditions exist will always be open to objection. Sooner or later some thing will have to be done and coun cil might as well take up the matter at once and see what remedy can be applied. Democrats Gain 24 In Congress. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. President Roosevolt's appeal for a Republican congress was not iu vain. With the count still going ou, the re sult so far shows the election of 214 Republican congressmen, 157 Demo crats, witii twenty districts to be heard from. There are 386 seats to be filled in the house, and should the Demo crats get the remaining flfteon they would still not have the control. The most sanguine prediction put out by Chairman Sherman previous to the electiou was that the Republicans would retain control of the house by fifty. As the returns stand now the Demo crats have gained twenty-four districts held iu the present congress by Repuh 1 leans as follows : Illinois, 2; Indiana, 1; lowa, 1 : Mis souri. 4; Nebraska, I ;New Jersey, 8; New York.l; North Carolina, 1; Ohio, 4; Pennsylvania, 5, and Wisconsin, 1. Speaker Cannon received his usual j fifteen thousaud majority and comes back to oongress for the seventeenth time. The fight against Representative 1 Dalzell, of Pittsburg, was futile, as Mr. Daizoll is re-eleoted with a reduc ed majority. Mr. Wadsworth, who is 1 chairman of the house committee on ' agriculture, was defeatod by Peter A. Porter, who announced Himself as au Independent Republican. In Sunbury Hospital. John Spotts.of Danville, was admit ted to the surgical ward of the Marv 11.

L. & W. printed in the "Commercial and Financial Chroni cle" seems to have borne good fruit in more respects than one. Not only doos the D. L. & W. railroad company make haste to assure the borough that Danville will be replaced on the map in the next issue of the "Commercial and Fiuaucial Chronicle," but the William 13. Dana company, publishers of that periodical, have addressed a letter to Burgess Rogers for certain ilata relating to Danville The letter, which follows,explains itself: To the Chief Burgess, Danville, Montour County, Pa. Dear Sir:—For our State and City Section, about togo to press,will you kindly favor us witli the data asked for below relative to the finances of your municipality? What is the bonded debt of tiie bor ough at present? What was the assess ed valuation fori9os? What was the total tax rate per SIOOO for 1905? Thanking you in advance for the courtesy of an early reply, we remain, Very respoctfully, William B. Dana Company. From the above it would seem that Danville's omission on the map led tu the town's exclusion from the pages of the publication, where valuable in formation is printed relating to the towns shown on the map. Verily, a i little healthy agitation is sometimes a good tiling. CHAMPION POTATO RAISER. They have a farmer out in Westmore land county who seems to be pretty nearly the state's champion potato raiser. He planted seven acres of grouuil with potatoes and awaited re sults. They were beyond his most san guine expectations for he raised 1,500 bushels, selling them at a price which brought him in $l4O an acre. Forty Years of Service. Jonathan Rose Dimm, D. D., L. L.

The Kind You Have Always Bought s PALISADES FORMATION. Allied In Time nnd Type to Mount Holjroke und Cape Illonildon. The comp'ete height of the cliff was much higher, originally, for the glacier that burled North America down to this latitude eroded billious of tons which went to the upbuilding of Long Island, trap bowlders being common In the soil of Brooklyn, and I have found on the top of the Palisades opposite Spuyten Duyvil glacial groovings and polish ings that have survived the pre sumptive 15.000 years since the glacier melted. The outpour of this mass from a volcano whose crater we cannot so much an guess in this day was tremen dous. and it cut the Hudson and Hack ensack valleys asunder and pushed the harbor several miles to the southward, while related activities thrust above the surface, either as downpours or up pours. the thousand miles of basaltic hills that chain the Carolinas to the Bay of Funny, so that our Palisades are allied in form and time to Mount Holyoke and <'ape Blomidon.

Old men and young men, venerable ladies and middle aged matrons and the pret tiest Pennsylvania girls that ever hap pened. Parents with the whole family along, some of them wheeling baby coaches with the smallest mem ber of the family taking an outing in the new capitol. Mischievous boys, who tampered with the water cooler* and lifted the lids of the ink wells, and used the pencil shar-ioners to the annoyance of the good natured depart meut employes, were very much in evidence.
