NVoodside as a mem ber to represent the second ward for Mr. Bedea's unexpired term, which comprises the remainder of the present year. Ho was nominated by Mr. Angle and unanimously elected. A communication was received from the Dauville aud Bloomsburg street railway company calling attention of couucil to the fact thatjthe extension ou A street has long ago been complet ed in every detail aud A street itself has been finished in accordance with every requirement of council aud therefore requesting that the borough now perform its part of the contract, accept the work as done and forthwith abandon Cross street. In this connec tion the Dauville aud Bloomsburg street railway company requests couu cil to require the abutting property owners ou A street to properly gutter in front of their properties. Otherwise it will be impossible to keep the street in repair. The matter was discussed in various relations, after which on motion it was decided to lay the communication on the table. On motion the street commissioner was instructed to sink an eight-inch term cotta pipe at Chestnut and West Market streets on the South side of the latter thioughfare. Mr. Dietz, of the committee on market, presented a report of the citi zen s meeting held on November 7th to consider questions relating to the curbstone market. Some of the merch ants aud butchers, he said, were In favor of excluding all but the farm el's. while others were iu favor of ab olishing the market altogether. Mr. Jacobs presented an ordinance to ameud the secoud, third, fourth, fifth,aud last clauses of section 17 aud also to ameud section 21, etc. The amendment proposed to raise the market fee from teu ceuts to fif teen ceuts for one-horse vehicle wheel barrow or baud cart aud to raise the fee for two-horse vehicles from fifteen cents to twenty-five ceuts. The pro posed amendment raised the fee for hucksters aud butchers from tweuty flve cents to one dollar.

II ilHll HIS There has beeu much dissatisfaction among our merchants for a loug time j past over the weakness of the borough ordinance, which permits transient re tail dealers to opeu up a place in Dau ville, doing business for a few days or weeks and then leaving town. The practice is generally regarded as au imposition on the resident merchants and to hold down this class of dealers au ordinance was prepared aud submitted to c uucil at the last meetiug It pass ed on first reading without a dissent- t ing voice. The ordinance is entitled : 4 To pro- j vide for the licensing of transient re tail merchants iu the Borough of Dan ville, Montour county, Pennsylvania, > and providing penalty for tailure to' obtain the smne." Briefly the ordinance provides as' follows : That hereafter every person whether \ principal or ageut euteriug into a' transient retail business in the bor- ! ongli of Dauville for the sale of any goods, wares or merchandise whatso- j vere, whether the same shall be repre- i sen ted, held forth to be bankrupt, as- i siguees, or about to quit business, or i of goods damaged by fire, water or oth- J erwise soall take out a liceuse for the , same from the chief burgess. The : amount of the liceuse shall not. be less | than twenty-five dollars, nor exceed the sum of two hundred dollars, per dmouth or fractional part thereof.to be | paid to the treasurer of the said bor- | ongli of Dauville. Said liceuse shall j be renewed monthly duriug the con tinuance of the sale and upon the fail ure of said person or persons so to se cure such license,ho, she or they shall be fined iu a sum not less than one hundred dollars nor more than two huudreddollars to be collected as other fines are by law collectable and in de fault of payment of said fines, to be I imprisoned iu the jail of said county of Montour for a period not exceeding thirty days. It is provided that all ordiuauces or parts of ordinances in- j consistent with or contrary to this ordinance are hereby repealed. The ordinance will couie up again on Friday, December 7th., when, uu- j less a sentiment dovelopes in opposi tion to it, it will pass on secoud read- j ing. John Tooey Next Fire Chief. John Tooey, of the Continental firo company, will be the next firo chief of j Danville. He will succeed George Koclier, of the Washington company, j It is the custom to select the chief from each company in turn. This year it is the Coutiueutal company's turn, | and the members of that I have chosen Mr. Tooey for the office. It has beeu the custom for a number of years to hold the election at the Friendship hose house iu the first ward. Recently, however, the fire board decided that in the future the elections should be held in the ward from which the chief is chosen. The election, therefore,will be held at the Coutiueutal licse house on the first Sat urday night in December,between the ' hours of 6 :30 aud 8. 1 At this same time also the four as sistants, one from each wind, will be 1 elected. The candidates for assistants ' aro: Friendship, Harry Rupp; Wasli -1 iugton, Harry Loug; Continental, James Grimes; Good Will, William Shultz. These candidates will be elect ed first, second aud third assistant ac cording to which gpts the highest vote. The candidate for assistant from the ward from which the chief is to be elected cau not be elected to any thing but fourth assistant. Danville Lost to Shamokin. The Shamokin banket bull team de feated the Danville basket hall team at the armory last evening in a hotly contested game by the score of 4!i-32. The contest was close throughout, aud it"was anybody's game until the last. The scoro at the end of the first half Mas 20-li) in favor of Danville. The game was rather unsteady, the playing at times being fast and ac curate and again slow and disograniz ed,which cau be attributed to the fact that it was the season's first game. Altogether the game was well worth seeing. Kaseinan, one of Shamokiu's forwards played the star game of the evening. Peters did some pretty goal | shooting for Danville. I Toward the latter part of the game | Henry Clavberger, of Shamokin, aud j Harry Peters, of Danville, were ruled : ont of the game by Umpire Welliver j for fighting. ; A new man, Osmanski, formerly of the Nauticoke high school team, was j in the Danville line-up last night. He is now employed in this city and will I play with the homo team during the present season. He plays an excellent { game at guard. No harm in Trying. The streets of Nottingham, England, are sprinkled with water in which 1 chloride of calcium has been dissolv ed, aud are, therefore, dustless.

Stephens, the San Jose scale iuspector for. Montour county, has com pleted his list of dates for demonstra tions and has already begun the work of public spraying. The schedule ot demonstrations that have been arranged bv Mr. Stephens follows: Tuesday, November 20, at J. H. Diehl'B,3 miles S. E. from Pottsgrove. Wednesday, November 2i, at W. M. Robinson's, I mile N. from Moores burg. Thursday, November 22, at Win. Billmeyer's, miles E. from Milton. Friday, November 23, at Samuel A. Cromley's (The Edmund Davis Farm) 1 % miles S. W. from Limestoueville. Wednesday, November 28, at John (J. Foulk's, >4 mile N. lrom Schuyler. Friday, November 30, at C. W. Opp's "i miles E. from Muncy. Tuosday, December 4, at James Propst's, 1 mile S. E. from Comly. Wednesday, December 5, at J. F. Mowrer's, Strawbarry Ridge. Thursday, December f>, at Frank Miller's, 2 miles S. W. from Washiug touville. Friday, December 7. at. Mrs. F. P. Applemau's,4 miles N. from Danville. Tuesday, December 11, at Richard E. Rodger's, mile N. from Ileud ricksou's church. Wednesday, December 12, at Cyrus Styer's, miles N. E. from Dau ville. Thursday, December 13, at John J. Johnson's 2% miles E. from Mausdale. Mr. Stephens may add several de monstrations to this list iu the district south east from Frosty Valley. The arrangement of this schedule by Mr. Stephens has followed a summer's work among the fruit trees of the couuty. The demonstrations are held for the purpose of showing the tree owners how to mix the lime«sulphur wash, how to apply if, how to fight the scale iu general, aud how to deal with other orchard pests. The demonstrations are free, the de monstrator has nothing to sell aud all who are interested should come. That the scale is a serious pest may be judged when it is known that Mr. Stephens found in Moutour county 60 orchards in succession, all of which were iufested with the scale. The ouly way to get rid of the pest is for every one to cooperate. The quickest aud best way to learn how to deal with the scale is to attend one of these demonstrations. "Don't forget that you are invited," Mr. Stephens says. "Be sure to come." Sleuths Thwarted. The detectives who are working in the hunt for the Italian murderer, Catnpelli, who stabbed a man named Belski to death iu a Shamokiu saloon several weeks ago, are thwarted at every turn. They are convinced that there are men iu the foreigu quarter i of Shamokin who know of the wliere ; abouts of Catnpelli, but who will not tell for the fear they have of the mur derer's comrades. One, Joe Botero.has beeu informing the officers of what he knew of Cauip elli's hiding place. He associated with I Cam pel li before the murder, aud has | been keepiug iu touch with hisi'rieuds : siuce. j Tuesday evening, while walking on I a dark street in Shamokiu, he was set i upon by tlirco masked men, who bore I him to the ground,aud after placing a I piece of paper iu his baud disappear ed. On the paper, in a dirty, greasy 1 scrawl, wore the words, "Let iuform- I ers beware!" Below it was a rude . picture of a skull aud dagger, j The threat is believed to have come from the Fis De Sparo, or Sous of , Hope, a kiud of Black Hand society to i which Cain pell i belonged. ♦750.00 is ' now offered for Campelli's capture, but notwithstanding this big sum, either loyaltv or fear of some organ ization has tied the tongues of the foreiguer* iu the Shamoltiu district, and they are about the only ones who would he able to furnish any clews. Shot himself Through Heart. Iu :>n uncontrollable fit of anger Summers Reibsauo, a boy living on Blue Hill,shot himself yesterday morn ing, eveu a3 his mother grasped his arm to stay the dreadful deed. Reibsaue lived with his father, Ed ward H Reibsaue, a farmer on Blue Hill, opposite Suubury. On Tuesday he had some trouble with his younger brother Charles aud remaiued from home iu sulleu auger throughout the day. Yesterday morn ing at about 7 o'colck he renewed the altercation, aud his father severely re primanded him. Sommcrs did not say a word, but walked iuto the house, went up stairs to his room and took i his revolver from a bureau drawer. He weut down to his mother aud bade her guod bye. She was horrified aud beg- , ged him not to kill himself. She at tempted to seize the revolver, but he turned it towards his breast aud fired. The shot was fatal aud he fell dyiug at her feet. In five miuntes he was dead. The Suyder couuty corner. Dr. Her man, was summoned. He held au in quest at 11 o'clock yesterday moruiug. The jury's verdict was that death was \ caused by a bullet wouud about au inch below the heart. ~ ) The newly elected members of the r legislature are tryiug to remember all - the things they promised the voters last fall. THANKSGIVING BRIS VACATION The teachers and the pupils of the public schools of Danville will be granted a vacation of some ten days, beginning with next Thursday, which comes as unexpected good news to many. Borough Superintendent Gordy has addressed a circular letter to the corps of teachers, making suggestions as to exorcises appropriate to Thanksgiving and in which lie informs the schools that chough no official action has been taken upon the matter, it is .sate to say that the schools will riot be in ses sion on Friday following Thanksgiv ing, the 30th inst. On Monday, Dece mber 3rd,tho annual teachers' institute will convene, henco when the schools close 011 Wednesday, the 28th inst, next, it will be not to reopeii until Monday December 10th. Although the sohools will be closed on Thanksgiving day carowill bo tak en that the occasiou will be observed in the school work. Borough Superin tendent Gordy, in his circular letter, suggests to the teachers that "they make special effort to instill into the minds of the pupils the true spirit of the day by having them see their ob ligations to God in thanksgiving for his bouutifullness and charity to oth ers who lack." The superintendent suggests that ap propriate exercises be held Wednesday afternoon, tho '2Bth, by singlo room or combination of rooms. Tho teaciiers aro urged, however, not to permit the exercises to be too elaborate,otherwise they may becloud the real significance of the Thanksgiving season. These ex ercises may be timed to close at 3 or 3:30 o'clock, not before. The parents and patrons of the schools are invited and encouraged to attend these special exercises. Law Will Change What We Eat. Montour county housewives will be unable to buy any more white granu lated sugar after tho new puro food law goes into effect on January Ist. While there will be loaf and granulat ed sugar on sale, as at prosent,tlie ap pearance will be a dull.colorless white, not so attractive to the article known as "white sugar," which lias been in use for 50 years or more. Wasliing bluing lias been used to whiten the sugar in the past. Canned vegetables, notably toma toes, green peas, and some kinds of string beans will not have tho appear ance of having been freshly picked as formerly, but the coloring will be natural. Marmalades and preserves, that tempt the eye before the palate, will not be quite so attractive, and if there is a slight scum on the top.skim it off and say nothing, as it isn't dirt but simply shows that no preservatives have been used. Mustard, which the public has come to rogard as yellow, never having seen any tiling that was not adulterated, will be gray, ami butter will he nearly white. • The strict enforcement of the law will no doubt effect the price of mauy staplo articles of food. Calves' liver and sweetbread are at present shipped here by the packers,treated with boric acid,and while it is agreed by experts ttiat the amount of acid used is not harmful, the law says, "no preserva tives." The law makes no reference to eggs, and tho cold storage variety can be disposed of, to tho satisfaction of the dealer. Government inspectors will bo main tained in all factories, and the manu , facturers are even now using a form of contract with wholesalers for goods now in preparation for the market, as follows: " ,the undersigned, do hereby guarantee thai the above named art icles of food or drugs, manufactured, packed, distributed, or sold by are not adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the food and drug act approved .Juue 20, 1906 ; also to meet the requirements of the Penn sylvania pure food laws. "Firm name 41 Per Place of busiuess . " Besides including foods and drugs tho new law specifies that all drink ables must also be unadulterated. HUMAN CLEARING HOUSE. Fanners who till the soil nuti 1 tliev get old and stiff move to town to rest and enjoy life. The business man who is weighted down with cares buys a farm aud moves to the country to get rest. Now Joe Lesher, of the Selius grove Times,comes along and suggests that some enterprising genius ought to establish a clearing house. PRETTY BAD INDEED Tliiugs seems to be pretty bad in Westmoreland county when the prin i cipal of oue of the public schools is • charged with stabbing a young wo kman, admits that he was drunk and is wholly unablo to explain his where s abouts at the time the outrage occur red. The Greousburg papers declare ; that a reign of terror exists among the ? women of that town who demand a thorough investigation of the cir cumstances. MORE THAN ALPHONSO. Governor elect Edwin S. Stuart dur j lug the next four years will be the head of a government greater than that ruled over by Alphouso king of e Spain, greater than the Netherlands 1 aud greater than both of them put to s jgether. The wealth of Pennsylvania is eleven and oue half billion of dollars. NUMIiEIi ROSE IH N ISEN WORK Frank G. Schoch, of town, was iu 1 receipt of a letter yesterday from H. E. Dodge, formerly general secretary aud physical director of the local Y. M. C. A., that tells almost a wonder -1 ful story of the rise of a man from an unexperienced beginner in association work to oue who is now recognized as ' one of the strong st Y. M. C. A. men 1 in the country. The letter is tho fulfillment of a promise made long ago to write to Mr. ' Schoch. it was dictated on board the New York aud St. Louis Limited, while Mr. Dodge was on his way from Torre Haute, Indiana, to Wilmington, Delaware, where ho was to speak to a 1 meji's meeting. Ho came east from 1 Torre Haute to speak at this one meet iug aud returned west *Sunday£even iug Mr. Dodge will be well remembered ' by many Danville people. When he came to this city 1? years ago he had no Association experience at all, hav ing been a picture agent. He remain ed here about 5 years in the capacity of both general secretary aud physical ; director. Leaving Danville, he went to Pottstown, where he remained for two years and then having been offer ed the general secretaryship of the Warren, Pa , Y. M. C. A., he left for that town. In his letter Mr. Dodge says: "Our eight years stay at Warren woro the best years of our Association work aud under the blessings of God the work was built up to large propor tions, so that during the last winter I was there wo wore conducting thirty to thirty-six religious meetings and bible classes each week, besides main- I taiuiug a good work in the gymnasium I aud conducting four or five classes in our evening school. The money ex penses were approximately SII,OOO a year, and I uuderstaud that the new » secretary is making the work more ag . gressive than it was under my super vision." Ou the first of last June Mi. Dodge left Warren aud took charge of the As* jsociatiou at Terre Haute,lndiana. His description of the city and his work , I there is most interesting. He says: i "Terre Haute is a city of 65,000, having increased to that population - from 37,000 in the last five years. It is properly called the Pittsburgh of the middle west. The the city have been very bad in the past, the saloons never thinking of closing from one week's eud to the other, and one saloon keopor went so far, when asked if he ever shut the front door, as to reply, 4 No,I do not aud I have thrown the koy in the river.' The gambling joints were run openly and above board. 14 There came an awakening some mouths ago when the city council im peached tho mayor, threw -him ont of oflice, aud with him wout his appoin tees aud a uew aud clcau administra tion was sworn into oflice. Today, we are a law abiding city and eaoh week it is becoming more difficult for men to break tho law aud go unpunished. 4 4 Torre Haute has a groat future aud we expect to be a city of 100,000 by tho end of 1011. The Association has a splendid lot in the best location in the city, has a new gymuasium, 55x70, a fine swimming pool, splendid shower baths and the two best bowlin# alleys in the city. The rest of the building is au old clubhouse aud illy adapted to our work. Iu three years we expeot to erect a build iug costing not less than $150,000. Our present membership is 700 and is increasing all the time. Wo have an enrollment of 84 in the evening school. Wo have two pool and one billiard table—the best in the city —which appeal to certain types of youug men and keeps them out of the public pool rooms. "lam just remiuded that I am in my 17th. year of Association work. Although it seeuis like yesterday that I began my work in Dauville. My salary has steadily increased until at Terre Haute I am getting s24oo,which is five times as much as 1 received when 1 begau work in Danville. I pre sume our board of directors will raise it to S3OOO bofore I am there five years. I have doue considerable traveling iu the last three years, aud last season iu four mouths I traveled over 10,000 miles and spoke to over 15.000 men. 1 was as far south a? Richmond, Va.. and Marietta, Ohio, and as far east as New York City and Holyoke, Mass. I also spoke at Syracuse, Schenectady. N. Y., Erie aud Miltou, Pa., aud Youugstown, Ohio." Mr. Dodge has been in rather ill health for some time and on October 3rd uuderweut an operation. He fears that he will have to undergo another operation before he is entirely well. Mr. Dodge sends his best regards to his friends of former years in Dau ville. A GOOD JOB. ' Au Italiau mule driver employed in a miue near Pittston got into a con troversy with a mule he was driving the other day. The mule got the bet ter of the aigument presently for he lifted up ouo of his hind feet and lit erally kicked the nose of the Italian - off tho his faco, doing the job as neat ? ly aud thoroughly as if it had been i doue with au extra sharp kuife. The 112 fragments were carefully pieked up sand replaced. It is believed the nose - will grow on agaiu, but it will never s bo as handsome as it was before the . mule interfered with it.
