Hours —10 a. m.to 5 p. m. Telephone 143<> EXPENSIVE PISTOL SHOT It cost David Van Sickle, a resident of tho second ward, Tuesday some nine dollars in fine and costs for dis charging a pistol in the borough limits. Mr. Van Sickle, who resides on Mowrey street, was arraigned i> -fore Justice Oglesby. Ho explained tho circumstances under which he dis charged the pistol ami these he thought justified the act. He is living in a part of tho bor ough infested with unruly boys, who according to the evidence, have taken a delight in calling the old man names and in annoying him in every conceiv able way. Tuesday morning, he said, he brought the pistol downstairs for tho purpose of showing his daught er how to use it in case of necessity. It was loaded with blank cartridges. Tho boys as usual were on hand and were trying to make it unpleasant for Mr. Van Sickle, when the latter so - ly for tho purpose of frightening the boys disharged tho pistol. The shot it appears had the desired effect and a worse frightened lot than the boys it would bo hard tr. find. The incident caused a good deal of exciti uient which resulted in Van Sickle's arrest. The shooting was in violation of section :i ot tho borough ordinance, which makes it unlawful for any per son to wantonly discharge firo arms within the borough limits, the pen alty being five dollars. Chief Mincemoyer justified the ar rest on tho grounds that if tho defen dant was annoyed by the boys he had his remo'ly in the process of law. The Justice sustained this view. Mr. Van Sickle paid the fine with some four dollars costs. Delightfully Entertained. The members of Montour Council number 167, Order of United American Mechanics, held a mo,-s delightful banquet at the G. A. li. hall, Mill street, Saturday evening.

Coal for School Buil Uaps. The school board realizing the im possibility of obtaining co »1 from local dealers in quantities needed, a week or so since opened communication with a number of different coal opera tors with a view of purchasing direct from the mines. Tho replies received showed that very few operators, owing to the pres sure of orders, were in a position to furnish coal in sufficient quantities. A contract was finally mad * with the P. & R. Railway company by which twelve cars or three hundred tons, have been secured to be shipped in diffi rent quantities at intervals as needed by the board. THE VIEWS OF UN EXPERT "Lying at its very doors Danville has all the material that is required for the building up of a great and pro fitable industry that would enrich its citizens an give the town a prominence that would extend far and wide. All that is needed is for the local capital ists to awake to a full realization of their opportunity and to proceed at once to the development of the enter prise.*' Sue 11 in effect were the words of George Francis, an expert in the man ufacture of vitrified brick who is at present in Danville. Mr. Francis,who is foreman of Man ufacturing under the Vitrified Brick and Tile Company of Coffeyville, Kansas, conducted the experiments last winter with the shale sent out from this city, which resulted in the discovery that the deposit here in ■ quality is simply unsurpassed for the ! manufacture of vitrified brick. He was I born in Danville and spent manyyeats !of tiis life here. Ho sees a great op : portuuity for his native town and the | object of his present visit is to assist in the organization of a company to manufacture vitrified brick. The gentleman was interviewed Monday afternoon by a representative of the Morning News. Mr. Francis left Danville sixteen years ago. When he became identified with the manufac ture oc vitrified brick at Coffeyville the business was in its infancy. He has t seen tho industry grow from a hum ble beginning, when some forty men were employed, until it reached its j present dimensions embracing four j large plants and employing many hundred men. He is a good authority, therefore, on the methods of manu facture and the relative value of the shale used as well as the demand for and supply of vitrified bricks and the profit that lies in Hie business. As to the quality of the Danville , shale which as is generally known, lies along the P. &. R. railway just north of the borough, Mr. Francis states,it is far more valuable than the big deposits near Coffeyville, which up to last winter had always benn con sidered the best in the United States. The superiority of the Danville shale lies in tho larger percentage of iron, which in the process of burning, I melts and gives the finishc I brick the l hardness and durability of grauite itself. Mr. Francis showed the News man a Danville brick manufactured at the Coffeyville plant,which is twice as heavy as an ordinary brick. Accord | ing to the expert it surpasses in value | anything manufactured in the United ■ States. In regard to the demand for vitrifi ed brick Mr. Francis is of the opin ion that that may bo reli d upon to I take care of itself. In many localities of the west shale brick have crowded the ordinary mud brick nearly out of the market and are used inst. ad of the i latter for sidewalks and in building, ! even for foundation purposes. The { general demand is always greater than i the supply. Mr. Francis thinks that a plant could bo operated here with :i maxim um of profit. The ground he been se deposit, which seems unlimited in ex tent, is remarkably easy ot access. While at Coffeyville the shale has to bo olastcd loose and at places raised from a considerable douth all that would be required here would lie to shovel it down from the mountain side where in the form of gravel it lies in a loose deposit. It is very much to be hoped that Mr. Francis may be able to interest some of our practical business men, as according to the facts set forth there would seem to be a rare opportunity to build up a new and flourishing in dustry iu Danville.

SCHOOLS FOR TEACHERS Dr. Nathan O. Schaeffer lias given out advance sheets of his annual re poit as Superintendent of Public in struction. Ho shows that the numlior of pupils enrolled during the year end ing last .Tnue was 1,1(5:5,501), and the mini her of teachers was 30,(540. There was an expenditure for text books and supplies Of S(5. The cost of maintenance, including text hooks and supplies, was $lB, (5.15,117.7:5. Dr. SehaefTcr says it is a matter for con gratulations that the favorable finan cial condition of the State enabled State Treasurer Harris to break all previous records for early payment of the school appropriations. Owing to the frequent deadlocks in the election of teachers and the selec tion of textbooks the question is raised whether it w mid not be wise to re duce the number of directors in town ships from six to five. He says the tendency of the age is to concentrate power and responsibility, li the. num ber of directors was reduced from six to tivo ho suggests that teachers could be selected promptly and fewer fact ional contests would arise. In his opinion some legislation ought to be enacted to prevent deadlock in the election of teachers and the selection of text books. Dr. Schaeffer says the act of 1901, making attendance at school compul sorv, is more eflicient than many for mer compulsory laws,yet it fails when ever the parents neglects or refuse to have their children vaccinated. He thinks there should li t some legisla tion to relieve the clash between the ! compulsory education and vaccina tion laws. The report, suggests that one enum eration instead of two during the odd years of all children between (5 and 1(5 years for school assessment purposes would be a saving of money in every county. On the question of reciprocity in teachers' licenses Dr. Schaeffer says it does not seem wise to change the meth od of granting permanent certificates. No change in policy is recommended, I even though full reciprocity in teach ; ors' licenses be far distant. In this age, Dr. Schaeffer says, the | school master should know more than he is required to teach. Instruction I acquires its best flavor when given by a teacher of culture and scholarship. The new course in tii State Normal Schools now covers Him years. Dr. Schaeffer says the best is not too good ! for the pupils of our public schools. The new course will diminish the I number of graduates for several years, J but in the end it will increase the at tendance at our Normal Schools and give the public school- ;v generation of teachers with better training and broader scholarship. Dr. Schaelfer highly recommends the teachers who spend much of their time at summer schools. In this con nection he recommends some provis ion for summer training for those teachei s who cannot afford to attend summer schools at a great distance from their homes. He says a modest appropriation for the maintenance of one c>r more summer schools where and recreation would be wisely ap plied. He says the school department j should be allowed to select for the purpose one or two mountain resorts where the temperature will be favor able for intellectual effort during the summer months. The small appropriation of $50,000 has stimulated the establishment of high schools in a number of town | ships.Sixty-six township high schools j came up to the legal standard and re | ceived their share of aid. He earnest- ly recommends that this appropria tion bo doubled at the next session of tli • Legislature. Dr. Schaeffer says something should ho done to raise the minimum salary of teachers. Good work cannot be expected from teach ers who get less than S3O u month. In crease of the appropriation has not in creased the salaries of the teachers Ho says it is the duty of every citi zen to seek to hotter the condition of the women who teach. They do not organize strikes and have 110 opportu nity at the ballet box to insist upon their rights. It they had tin; suffrage their votes would in 110 long time pro cure more adequate eompensat ion for their services and sacrifices. In conclusion, Dr. Schaeffer recom mends that more attention should be given to the making of a satisfactory school curriculum. He savs the work must begin in the Normal schools. Systematic study in the field and the laboratory is needed to put content into the most carefully prepared out lines. His Heart 011 Right Side. A dispatch from Beech Creek says that while examining Ernest Rupert, of that place, for an insurance policy, Dr. Savior .T. McGheo made the startl ing discovery that the boy's heart is on liis right side, in a position cor responding to the normal location on the left side. Dr. McGheo had the young man be fore the Clinton County Medical Society, in Lock Haven, Friday, when he was carefully examined by the had ing physicians of Clinton county,none of whom h id ever se.-n a similar case. Statistics show that tho 11 amber of such c ises reported throughout t lie world is remarkably small. The ex amination revealed the fact that the heart, lungs and liver are very close together and the latter organ is believ ed to hi 1 Oil tho left side. The physi cians pronounced the case most re markable and unusually interesting. Although the young mm has had medical attention lief ere, this peculiar condition was not noticed. The boy is 1(5 years old and the son ot Barney Rupert, of Beech Creek, a strong healthy man. Ernest works every day at the Pennsylvania lire brick works and has always been re garded as a healthy lad, being of good size for his age. Tho opinion of Dr. MeGhee and the other physicians who examined him is that the abnormal position of his internal organs will never affect his health or his term of DISAPPOINTED 0! THE OPERATORS "WASHINGTON, Nov. 2K.— Presid ent Mitchell and his party left here last night, sadly disappointed and chagrined. Alter they had reached an agreement with Mr. MacVeagh, repre senting the operators, as to all the main points at issue, and there re mained only a few minor details to be arranged.a telgram came from Presid ent P.rter, calling all negotiations ofl and ordering that the matter of a set tlement be reverted to the strike com mission. Mr. MacVeagh was under the im pression that he was fully empowered to act for the operators in drawing up a form of agreement and had proceed ed upon that assumption. All the statements made during the day by members of tin* conference were of the most hopeful charaeter.and had it not been fo.' i'.i id, in La i ,s telegram, it is believed that definite terms of set ! tlenient would have been prepared for ! the signatures of both parties within j the next day or two. Mr. Mitchell's disappointment over ! the outcome is the more intense be ' cause the conference w as not called at j hi- solicitation but at that of Mr. Mae | Veagh. inference yesterday afternoon ' after Mr. Harrow's announ ement that ' terms had been agreed upon came to a ' sudden termination through there . i-eipt of a despatch to Mr. Wayne Mac- Veagh, reptesi nting the Pennsylvania ! Coal Company and the Hillside Coal and Iron Company,notifying him that ■at a meeting of the anthracite coal j road men in New York today it had li-en decided not to grant an inter view to Mr. Mitchell and his associa tes, whi h had been suggested for Fri day next. The text of the message was as fol , lows: "The conditions are such that no substantial progress toward an adjust ment can be m ulc by the suggested meeting. The general judgment of the operators is that if will be best for the present togo on with the hearing." The announcement, coming as it did after an all day's conference in this ! city between Mr. MacVeagh and Mr. Mitchell and his associates, attended part of the time by Carroll I). Wright, i in an elide ivor to adjust some details of tie- proposed agreement between the ( operators aud the miners completely surprised everyone here. From a reliable source it is learned that the proposition that the operators mi 11 Mi. Mitchell on Friday next was made at the instance of Mr. MacVeagh who was no 1> ss mi prised than Mr. Mitchell himself at the turn affairs , took yesterday. ■ Mr. Mitchell when shown the des patch from New York telling of the ' action of the operators simply smiled j and said that he had not asked for the I conference but that when it was sug gested to him if it would be agreeable to meet the operators he said it would. Mr. Harrow and Mr. Lloyd,however, were outspoken regarding the action of the operators. Mr. Harrow said ; that it was now "up to the operators" ] and that he would return at once to Scrantou and on Tuesday next would ■ ' * - . 'l'" en»nmis<ion trj ! goon with the hearing. Mr. Lloyd referred to the fact that '• a conference Friday had been suggest ed in order to adjust some matters on j which there was still some disagree j ment. I "Yet" said Mr. Lloyd "these same ! men who only last week wired the I commission their assent to the general provisions of the tentative agreement j and upon the strength of which the commission adjourned for a week in j order to give the parties time to get together now go completely hack on their former action and call it off. We | are satisfied togo before the commis j sion and continue the hearing." The hope indulged in tor the past ! few days that the terms of settlement between the coal operators and the mine workers might he formally an nounced before Thanksgiving has been disappointed. This hitch in tin* very promising deal lor amicable settlement was brought about by the protest of the individual operators to the coal presi dents from whom the suggestion of amicable settlement came. It was only a few hours previously too that an arrangement had been made for a conference between Presi dent Mitchell and the coal presidents on Friday. The sudden change in dicates a vacillating policy on the part of the men to whom vast inter ests are committed that will be view ed with small favor by the general public or by the stockholders of the coal carrying companies. The consoling thought in the face of this disappointment, is that the min ers are at work and that they have the pledge of the commission that any ad vance in wages granted by it will take effect on November Ist, l'.K)2. A New Departure in Banking. The Danville National Bank an nounces to its friends and patrons and the public generally that it has open id a Savings Department in connection with its regular business and will re ceive time depo.-its and allow interest on 112 lie same. Few towns of the size of Danville can boast of so strong an institution as the Danville National Lank, and it is a cause for congratulation that those who patronize hanks can have not only the protection afforded by its i(-sources and conservative management, togeth er with t lie safetv as urcd by the over sight and inspection of the National Banking system ; but the encourage ment of a liberal rate of interest on their -aving accounts.

Guaranteed by Panics iV Co. drug- THE SITUATION IS TO GOAL r .j} ■ y.X-? i£& jif/: The local coal dealers, who have not as yet been able to fill all the domestic orders that accumulated: during the miners' strike, art? but little inclined at present to bid tor orders from either the school hoard or the water commis sioners. Hence both the school build ings and the water works will have to lie supplied with coal from other sources until the movement of freight becomes normal and the local dealers catch up with their trade. The school hoiitd has been buying wood during the fall, and bus still some coal on hand at the different buildings. It will probably be able to get coal in limited quantities direct from the mines, should a shortage oc cur, so that it is not at all likely that any difficulty will bo experienced in keeping the school buildings warm. The water commissioners, who have been relying upon river coal, can not afford to take any risks and are very auxious to get a good supply of coal on hand at the water works this fall, so as to obviate anything like a short age after freezing weather sets in. Unless conditions improve very much it would he unwise to rely upon get ring coal from the mines as needed and the water commissioners will con tinue the use ot river coal. According ly the water works are being stocked up to their fullest capacity,the present shipment—aggregating some eight cars —comprising coal from Shamokin Creek and different points on the riv er. The coal from Shamokin Creek is much the largest in size, but being soft in its nature burns freely and in the end contributes no more to the making of steam than coal from the river. On the whole the river and creek coal is found to answer the pur pose very well. Besides, it is slight ly cheaper than the coal ordinarily used. Under the circumstances, there fore, it would not be surprising if its use should be continued indefinitely. It requires about two tons of coal per day at the water works and the quantity on band will carry the plant until some time after the holidays. A HARD STRUGGLE.

It is expected that the next legisla ture will be asked to pass a law pro viding for the appointment of a salari ed constabulary which shall, either by appointment by the governor or election by the people act in the cap acity of peace officers in the rural dis tricts where petty crimes are commit ted many of the perpetrators of which now escape punishment because of the inefficiency of the constables ot the several townships. Under the present, system the work of the local const ables has for the most part proven most trying. This is mainly due to the fact that constables are not salari ed officers and are forced to depend in many cases upon some other occupa tion for a livehood. This fact frequ ently has a tendency to impair their usefulness and to prevent them from keeping that careful watch over trans gressors so necessary to the preservation of the peace and upholding of the dig nity of the commonwealth. The objections that may be raised to the passage of such a law are num erous. In the first place it would re quire a large number of these state peace officers to patrol the counties anil tin" aggregate amount of their sal aries would bo enormous. If these constables wore to bo appointed the probabilities are that polities would enter into the selection, and every body knows what that, would mean. If they were to be elected by the re spective counties a heavy burden would be thrown upon the counties. That better protection for rural com manities is needed 110 one disputes, but it is doubtful if tl.o state con stabulary plan of mooting the emerg ency, will be approved by the tax payers. A BRIGHT LIFE CLOSED Thomas Arthur, son of Mr. and Mrs. John L. Evans, whose serious illness of appendicitis, was noted in our last issue,died at the G"rman Hos pital, Philadelphia, Monday morn ing. The dreaded disease laid a heavy hold upon Arthur and he passed through a terrible siege of suffering. Ho was first taken sick last spring. Ho grow better, but suffered a re lapse. His condition again improved but with the approach of autumn he was again taken very seriously ill, when the attending physician recommended an operation. He was taken to the German Hos pital and about two weeks ago was operated upon. The case was pro nounced serious, but the operation seemed successful and hope was hold out to the parents. Last week friends of the family in this city were de lighted to learn that the young patient was considered out of danger. This good news, on Saturday,was followed by information of the gravest import, in response to which Mr. Evans, the father, hastened to Philadelphia to join his wife, who had accompanied Arthur to the hospital and had re mained in the city within easy reach. On Sunday a second operation was i performed, which revealed an exceed ingly critical state of affairs. A tele | gram received in this city from Mr. ! Evans Monday morning stated that j there was practically no hope, the chances being ten to one against the ! child's recovery. A second telegram received just after noon stated that | Arthur had passed away. The deceased child was 1-i years of ago. He was a manly and affectionate little fellow full of kindness aud a ' general favorite. His long illness was characterized by a degree of thought fulness and fortitude that would have done credit to an older person. The bereaved parents have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. All that was mortal of Thomas Ar thur Evans was laid to rest in the family plot, Odd Fellows cemetery, yesterday afternoon. The funeral was held from the family residence, Ferry ' and East Mahoning streets,at 2 o'clock ! and was attended by a large number of sympathizing relatives aud friends. The services, which wero conduct e ed by Rev. Harry Curtiu Harm in, jtastor of St. Paul's M. E. churcli, wero very impressive. The pastor's talk was jno.-t beautiful iu its tender allusions to the life and the passing away of youug Atthur aud full of con solation to the parents and relatives who with others had gathered around his bier. A quartette of young ladies rendered "Some Sweet Day"' with most impressive effect. The southwest corner of the room at the rear of the casket was banked with a rich profusion of flowers, the gifts of loving friends. Conspicuous among the blooms was a bouquet of white carnations from the senior secondary school of the First Ward, attended by the deceased. There was a large bouquet of chrysanthemums from the uncles and aunts; A large bouquet of white chrysanthemums from the Misses Evans; a bouquet of carnations I'rom the carnation club; a crescent from the lodge of Elks; a large bouquet from David Thomas; a bouquet of piuk carnations from Mis. Will J. Rogers; a bouquet of pink chrysanthemums from Mrs. S. V. Border of Williamsport and a bou quet of pink chrysuutheinums from Robert Ooxe of Sunbury. The pall bearers,chosen from among the boyhood companions of the deceas ed, were as follows: Willie Prit chard, Jay Sechler, Edward Price, Charles Wetzel, David Thomas and Jacob Meyer. The interment was pri vate. "I feel as if 1 should fly to pieces." How often those words are on a wo man's lip. They express to the utter most the nerve racked condition of the body, which makes life a daily martyr dom. If this condition had come suddenly it would have been unbearable. But the transition was gradual. A little more each day on the nerves.. A little more drain each day on the vitality. Any woman would be glad to be rid of such a condition. Every woman tries to be rid of it. Thousauds of such wo men have been cured by Dr. Pierce's treatment with his "Favorite Prescrip tion" when local doctors had entirely failed to cure. "Favorite Prescription" contains no opium, cocaine or other narcotic. Church Bell With a History. The church bell purchased by E. 1?. Stnrges when in Japan recently has arrived and has been placed in tin tower of the Presbyterian church at Green Ridge, near Scran ton The bell weighs 700 pounds and is made of solid brass. Until secured by Mr. Sturges it had hung in a Buddhist temple at Kioto for 200 years and more, and was purchased only with great difficulty. The Buddhist priest* were at tirst extremely loathe to part with the bell, fearing that it might be an offense in the eyes of Buddha t• > have it used for any other purpose than that of calling w>> shippers of tha* god to a temple erected in bis honor. When it was explained to them that with the purchase price they could buy a larger and better bell their scruples vanished and Mr St urges <e cured possession. Startling 1 , But True.

Hy dint of hard work, in which ex cellent foot ball was played, Miller was sent over the lin« for a touch down. After this neither side seemed to have the advantage and although the Defenders played a hard game they failed to score another touch down but sncceedi d in preventing any further scoring on the part < 112 Catawis-a.
