Within the next week or ten days
Sunbury will be the scene of a merry
telephone war which promise to be
come very Interesting and full of Jingles
before the the end is reached. The Bell
Telephone Company which formerly
had a monopoly on the telephone busi
ness In this place until the United Tele
graph and Telephone Company secured
a large number of subscribers intend to
make a thorough cauvan and by great
ly reducing the rate, place a large
number of phones throughout the
town.
"As the offices of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company are only connected
with the Bell system an effort will be
made to establish telephones In the
homes of all the different railroad men
employed by that company and It Is
expected that about five hundred new
subscribers can be secured. Telephones
will be placed In private homes at the
rate of less than one dollar per month
and the company feels sure that this
will be a great inducement in enlarg
ing their list and Increasing their busi
ness. What the exact rate will be has
not been made known yet, but will be
finally decided before the canvass is
started. When telephones have been
placed in many private homes a can
vass of the business houses will be
made and it Is the opinion of the com
pany that there will be very lew u no
will refuse to connect with their sys
tem." -
The report states also that the Bell
people intend to extend their lines to
Snyder county and ou to Lewlstown.

OFF FOR NORTH DAKOTA.
Monday of this week quite a number
of Penn township citizens left this
county for North Dakota. The party
consists of W. W. Romig and family
going to Briusmade; Chas. Gemberling
and family, D. L. Gemberling and
family, Prof. F C. Fisher and wife, D.
VV. Moyer, Lester Kessler and Frank
Kern. These are going to Minot, and
wiU hunt up land in that vicinity.
Surely North Dakota should develop
rapidly when Snyder County sends out
such representatives to become pioneers
in a great state that needs more good
industrial people.

Cook's Train Derailed
A keg of beer caused a wreck on the
Lewlsburg branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad, one day last week. The acci

rolled from a car lay on the track in
the bridge and when Conductor Cook's

engine was quite badly damaged.

jooo TYPEWRITERS.
"Pennsy"
Will Furnish Each of Its Opera
tors with a Machine.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is about
to place the biggest order for type-
writeraon record. AH operators now
using their own machines will be fur
nished with a new standard machine
to be kept In order by an inspector and
repairer who will visit the offices
monthly and keep the machines in
good condition. It is estimated that
2C00 machines will be needed between
New York and Altoona.
A number of the local oflloes have al
ready been equipped with fine instru
ments. Many of the men, however,
still furnish their own typewriters.
This big order does not make it look as
though the telegraph is to give place to
the telephone on the Pennsylvania
Railroad.

Dear Sir: Your business Is, when a
house burns down, to give the owner
some money to build a new one. It Is
a good business. Queer that the world

We paint the one that burnt down
and the new one too. What is better,
we paint the houses that don't burn
don.
You insure the houses that burn; we
insure the houses that don't You haye
the ashes and smoke; all the houses are
ours. We paint lead and zinc: Devoe,
We sell the paint to painters; wedon't

Lead and oil are the old-fashion
paint Devoe is tine ground in which
the lead and unseed ou same pro
