Leander Kocher is recovering from a serious illness. In the general excitement over more interesting affairs the groundhog will soon bo forgotten. The store windows are beginning to display some very elaborate valentines. A new baggage truck has been in stalled at the D. L. & W. depot. It seems that the railroads are hav ing the greatest difficulty to keep up with the wave of prosperity. There are too many bills being dump ed iuto the Legislature. About half of them should never seo the light of day. That annual visitation of the grip is now getting in its destructive work. Mrs. Augustus Bachinger is serious ly ill at her home ou Upper Mulberry street. The scratch of a pin may cause the loss of a limb or even death when blood poisoning results from the injury. All danger of this may be avoided,however, by promptly applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It is an antiseptic and quick healing liniment for cuts, bruises and burns. For sale by Panles & Co. Druggists. Williamsport lias just lauded another industry, a mirror factory,which will employ about fifty men. Williamsport has oue of the most active boards ot trade in the state. Lightning speed and freight congest ed railroads is a combination that does not go well together. The groundhog theory misses about as often as it hits, and people will have to wait and see it the little fel low has made a mistake this time. A scant ice supply may moau an in crease in the capacity for producing the artificial article. See that the candidates asking your suffrage at the coming election are right oil all points.

People living along rivers will not regret the coming of the cold wave, promised today The streams are swol len by the rain and thaw and floods are imminent unless a check soon comes. If we are really booked for six woeks of bad weather we might just as well make up our minds to giiu and bear it. Congress has but a month togo, and there is plenty of work ahead. A bill has been introduced in the Illinois legislature to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. This is j retty drastic legislation, but when one meets boys of 7 and 8 years of age on the street smoking one of the things, he is apt to consider any sort of legislation justifiable. When you feel blue and that every thing goes wrong, take a dose of Cham berlain's Stoma ;h and Liyer Tablets. They will cleanse and invigorate your stomach, regulate your bowels, give you a relish for your food and make you feel that in this old world is a good place to live. For sale by Panles & Co.

I MILLS START II Tho American is informed by Superintendent David Thomas that tho two puddle mills of the Heading Iron Works will start up on Monday morn ing. Tho resumption of those two de partments along with tho twelve-in-h and tho sixteen-inch mill, which have continued in operation during the dull season, will place things on a very nearly normal basis in Danville, giv ing employment to some six hundred hands. As to tho twenty-inch mill Mr. Thomas says there is no way of deter mining just when it may be able to resume, but he hopes that it will bo before long. However, with seven eighths of all tho employes at work as will bo the caso after Monday next our town will bo well oft indeed. The present announcement will prove the best of news not only to our wage oarnsrs, but also to our business men aud others, qnito regardless of when tho twenty-inch mill may be put into operation. The Reading Iron Works is tho largest industry and tho main dependence of our town. The state of business therefore naturally depends in great measure upon whether th plant runs or other wise. Hence, de velopments at the mill are always watched with no ordinary interest. The two puddle mills have been shut down since the holidays. They are now expected to continue in steady operation, as Mr. Thomas states the general business outlook is quite en couraging. Given Five Days in the Lock-up. Walter Rupp was arrested by Con stable Young Tuesday night for being drunk and disorderly. He was confin ed in tho lock-up until one o'clock yesterday afternoon when ho was giv en a hearing before Justice Oglesby. The justice imposed the usual fine of seven dollars in addition to costs upon the defendant. Rupp, however, was out of funds and in default of payment was sentenced to a five days imprisonment in tho borough lock-up. Thieves Make Third Visit. Thomas J. Evans, tho Bloom street barber, fell a victim of thieves again ou Tuesday night. Some miscreants broke open his slot machine fastened to the building in front and rifled it of its conteuts. Too slot machine con tained chewing gum aud a sum of money, tho exact amount of tho latter being unknown. On two previous occasions Mr. Evans' establishment was robbed. Each time tho show window was brok en in and several dollars' worth of tobacco and cigars stolon. Requisition for New Uniforms. Captain Gearhart lias received blank requisitions to be used for the new uniforms. The company will be mea sured this evening at 7 :30 o'clock for blue blouse, trousers, hats, caps, flannel shirts,duck blouse,trousers and leggings.

Manager Harris was busy Monday arranging the fine new quarters. The United and Bell Telephones have been installed. Slight Blaze. The roof of the Structural Tubing Works above the engine was discover ed on fire about two o'clock Saturday morning. The bell at the Washington Engine House was rung, and the com pany ran to th> fire. Beforo they ar rived however, the flames were extin guished by tie mill hose The dam age was slight. Pennsy's Big Pension List. According to the annual report ot the Pension Department of the Penn sylvania Railro id, $328,403 was paid as pensions to retired employes in 1902.

During the long evenings of Winter, when twilight, begins shortly after 4 !p. m.on a cloudy day, tlio gas bill i necessarily must soon mount if one i has four or five jets going for six hours lor more, but, as far as running up i bills, from all accounts, gas is not in i it as compared to electricity The elect ric meter works double time, and if electric companies don't get rich quick,it's merely because they liave'nt the patronage. DANVILLE. PA.. THUHBBAY FEHIiIJAKY 5. liMKJ. ! PUPILS CAUSE COMPLAINT Tho bad conduct of tho pupils of the First Ward during recess or ingoing to or returning from school lias caused much complaint of late. Tlio object is not to cast any reflection upon the 3'ouug men of the school who have an adequate conception of what becomes a gentleman. It is gratifying that thero is among tho pupils a goodly number of these, whoso conduct speaks for itself. The worse element, how over, seem to predominate, who show a contemptous disregard for the rights of pedestrians ;they are boisterous,dis orderly and stop at nothing even though loss and damage to property may result from their pranks. There are few spots that are infest od worse than East Mahoning street in tho vicinity of the Opera House. This seems to be a favorite rendezvous for the pupils not only twice a day during recess but ongoing to and re turning from school. They here act ually hold possession of tho street. Snow balling is indulged in without any restraint whatever aud in lieu of snow stones are thrown so that pedes trians who are able to crowd through the jam of youthful humanity traverse the street at no little risk. Remonstr ance counts for nothing, even though from the custodian on property, and is apt to provoke ridicule and jeers. Quite recently a row of barrels standing on the curb in front of the rear door of the Grand Union Tea storo was unceremoniously kicked in to the street by tho young hopefuls of the High school. On Tuesday a stone thrown by one boy after another near ly struck a gentleman who emerged from one of the doors of the Opera House Block. Tho stone rebounded and broke tho plate glass window of the Grand (Jnion Tea storo. Notwith standing tho damage done the boy who threw the stone when rebuked for the act merely shrugged his shoulder and with a derisive laugh meandered away at leisure, as if lie had done nothing reprehensible. It seems a question whether the pub lic lias not a right to demand that the pupils be kept on the school grounds, at least during the intermission if they can not bo made to conform with the rules of good order. At all events there would seem to bo work for tho police at this point and an example inado of one or two of tho offenders might have a good effect. He Saw his Shadow. Every dog has his day, and so has the groundhog, otherwise known as the woodehuck, and occasionally ad dressed as his Sir Marmot. The groundhog's day is tho second of tho second month of each year, and on this date, according to tradition handed down from "way back," the little animal emerges from his burrow and sizes up the weather. Should he soo his shadow it is accept ed as sign that there will be six more weeks of wintry weather of the wintriest sort, and back ho goes to bis hole to sleep till tho snow clouds roll by. Failure to seo his shadow is a sign that tho backbone of winter is broken, and the groundhog stays out "for keeps," or at least until next winter sots in. Just why sunshine should bo accepted as a sign of a long winter, and gloomy weather as a sign of tho early appearance of Spring, seom paradoxical, but that is the way tradition has it, and tradi tions should bo respected. Bo that as it may, the groundhog has a largo fol lowing. and the believers in the four legged prophet are ever ready to back his prognostications against those of the scientific fellows who operate weather shops under tho auspices ot the government. Of course the "offici al" weather prophets jeer at their four legged rivals, but that litis never shak en the faith of tho groundhog's fol lowers. Records as to correctness of the predictions might be cited, but.as lias been frequently remarked, com parisons are odious. It is safe to say that we shall get all the winter that is coming to us, and that there will be a lot of weather between the second day of February aud the vernal equinox. P. 0. S. of A. Convention. The Patriotic Order Sons of America of Northumberland county, embraced jin camps will assemble in annual | convention in Mt.

The con vention will be called to order at 10 S o'clock in the forenoon aud will be in session as long as business is to be transacted. The nature of the business depends largely upon tho resolutions which the various camps may offer, while the annual reports and tho elec tion of district presidents is a regular matter of business.

Harder has com piled a directory of the patrons of tho rural free dolivery from tho Dan ville Post office which will prove of great convenience to the public. Tho directory contains the names of all the patrons of tho four rural free delivery routes arranged in alphabetical order with a number opposite indicating the route ou which they livo. Following the heads of tho families it gives all tho sons and daughters of the house hold who have arrived at an age when they are likely to receive mail. It naturally contains a large number of names aud fills a want not supplied by tho county directory. Neatly type written it occupies a prominent placo in the corridor of the post office freo to the public. When one wishes to correspond with a resident of the county all he has to do is refer to the directory whore be is sure to find the name ho wants along with tho route by which tho person is served. With out,this directory an endless amount of inquiry might have to be resorted to which would prove annoying to the post office clerks and inconvenient aud embarrassing to tho person seeking the information. The idea of the directory is original with Post Master Harder aud so far as known no other post offico is equipped with anything similar. According to tho directory there are eight hundred and ninety-nine patrons on the four rural freo delivery routes. W. 6. Pureel for Burgess. Tho Democrats held their Borough and District Conventions at the Hod dens' llouso Thursday eve. Hugh Pur sel was chosen President and A. C. Roat Secretary. Delegates were present as follows: First Ward—A. C. Roat and John H. Geruert. Second Ward—Hugh Pursel anil Thomas Welliver. Third Ward—William N. RusselJ and Frank Reillv. Fourth Ward —Peter Mayan and Michael Mullen. Mahoning Township Jonathan , Rudy. The nominations were all unani mously made, the voting being by ac clamation. Tho convention was brief, occupying less than half an hour. The organization effected sufficed for both conventions. Tho first nom ination made was that of Overseer of the Poor for the Danville and Mahon ing Poor District, the nominee being Theodore Hoffman, Sr., the present incumbent, who was endorsed at the primaries by each of the districts. Candidates for the Borough Offices wore nominated as follows: Burgess, William G. Pursel; Tax Receiver, E. W. Peters; Auditors, John Barry, three years, aud Harry Sperring, two years. John Crilly of the Third ward was endorsed iu several of the wards for Auditor, but ho declined to bo a can didate, which made it necessary to select a now candidate. Death of Caleb Persiug. A letter received in Riverside from Mrs. Susanna Persing, Spring Grove. Va., brings the sad intelligence tint her husband, Caleb Parsing, is dead. ' He died on tl; • 25th of June last. Mrs. Persing herself will be 80 years old on the 19th of May uoxc. She states that ho is in poor health, having suffered a stroke of paralysis. Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Persing wore ; former residents of Riverside. About fifteen years ago they purchased a largo tract of land in Virginia and ac- | companicd by Freeman W. Sober, a j relative, they moved South. The farm was an old southern plantation. It was a beautiful place aud very produc tive. The infirmities of advancing years, j however, soon began to tell on Mr. and Mrs. Persing. By and by they found themselves practically alone in tlio midst of their wide acres. Freo- | man Sobor lived on another farm at some distauce away, but with this ex ception thero were none in the wholo j neighborhood with whom they could associate. Such was their situation when they were visited by Burgess W. T. Shepperson of Riverside, a year or so ago. Mr. Persing was then very feeble and could only get around with assistance. Mrs. Persing in her letter just re ceived statos that her brother-in-law, Freeman Sober, has moved into oue of the houses on the Persing farm. She has company now,but she is still very lonely and adds pathetically: "I do not expect to have long to stay any more. I should like to seo Hiversido again, but never expect to enjoy that pleasure." The climate is very mild at Spring Grove. On January 28, when the let ter was written, tlio thermometer reg istered 78 degrees. Thus far thoy have had only oue light suow which laid but a few days.

A I!All HOC SCARE Some of tiie dogs of Riverside and South Danville have taken to acting strangely, which has given ri->' to something of a scan among the p o ple, who fear hydrophobia. Two of the canines have already been given their quietus while several others are being closely watched. Tho excitement did not amount to much until Monday when the facts of the latest outbreak became known. W. L. Clark, who resides o:i Front street, this city, owned a valuable hunting dog, which as is natural with dogs of that breed, was quite gentle and tractable. Mr. Clark who former ly resided in Riverside is a son-in-law of 'Squire C. G. Haughawout of that rlace. The dog was in the habit of accompanying his master and in that way frequently got over to South Dan ville and Riverside. On Sunday nigtit about nine o'clock the dog while in the house was seized with a fit of some sort, and terrified the family by snapping right and left tearing at the carpet and frothing at the mouth. The frantic animal was finally ejected when ho left the prem ises and crossing tho street took ref ugo at a neighbor's house. Dislodged here ho started for South Danville, followed bv Mr. Clark, who was de termined to seo that the dog did no harm. The canine made his way to the pre mises of 'Squire Haughawout where on tho side porch of the house he had an- ( other convulsion. Mr. Clark aroused his father-in-law and the two men de cied that as a precaution the dog ought to be shot. The animal there fore, was taken iuto the street and dis patched without any delay. While the symptoms in some respects may have resembled those of rabies it is by no means certain that the dog was mad, although of course it is not to be regretted that he is out ot tin way. Neverthele-s there are many people on the other side of tho river who aro much alanued. What has given some color to the hydrophobia theory is tho fact that this i-. the second outbreak. Some time during the weefc before last a finely bred dog belonging to Amos Wohlfarth, below Riverside, was affected in a similar way and escaping from the farm made a tour of the neighborhood, biting a number of other dogs. At Kipp's Hun ho was shot. Mr. Wolilf irth's dog was permitt >d to sleep iu the house during the cold weather. Tho attack camo ou one night alter tho family had retired. Mr. Wohlfarth had quite a battle with tho dog before he succeeded in getting him out of the house and was slightly bitten in the hand. There is evidently little cause for alarm. Such attacks as described are quite common among highly bred dogs and last but a short time. No one will condemn tho parties, however, for shooting the affected dogs and placing the community on the safe side. Rev. Hagcp Markarian. One of the largest assemblages that ever gathered in the Ammerman build ing crowded into the hall Tuesday eve. Tho larger attendance was in part owing to the address of Rev. Hagop Markarian on the manners and customs of tho people of Armenia, which was announced as a feature of the regular Tuesday evening prayer me ting. Rev. Markarian,who is at present in the Theological Seminary at Prince ton. is a citizen of Tarsus. His talk was of absorbing interest, presenting many vivid pictures of life in that far-otf and ancient land, all of which revealed iu a strong light the contrast between the institutions and habits of that country and our own. The Turkish government is very vigilant to prevent tho young men of Armenia from emigrating to other countries, especially to America, and Rev. Markarian made three attempts to escape before ho succeeded in get ting on board a foreign vessel. Oil one occasion ho was prevented from getting away by being arrested and thrown into prison. Life in that country in every re spect differs from our own. In des cribing a funeral,tho speaker said the corpse is carried through the streets open to the gaze of all and is buried without a coffin. A wedding in that country is equally unique. As a part of the ceremony the groom must be shaved,while the bride's hair is plait ed. Tho young men forming the choir which usually furnishes music for the Tuesday evening prayer meeting were working la~t night and could not be present. In their absence solos were rendered by Walter Russell and Prof essor E. B. Barnett. The Easy Pill. DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not gripe nor weaken the system. They cure biliousness, jaundice, constipation and inactive livers, by arousing the secretions, moving the bowels gently, yet effectually, and giving such tone and strength to the glands of the stom ach, liver and bowels that the cause of the trouble is removed entirely. These famous little pills exert a decided tonic effect upon the organs involved, and if their use is continued for a few ; days there will be no return of the trouble. Gosh & Co. Panles & Co.

HOSPITAL Liveryman Eugene Moyer, who i still in a vi TV seriou- condition as the result of being thrown from a wagon in :t runaway a month ago, wa> re moved to Dr. Ke. n private hospital, 17 th and Summer sfr< ts, Philadel phia Monday. Mr. Moy r, who i- practically In lp- It ss a- tli" r>-ult of au injury to his spin -, was placi d on a cot and in tiiat way hi' made tin- trip r«» I'hiladt ljhia. Tho worst part of lii~ journey lay be tween hi- r. -itl.-iii- • 011 Peon street and tho station at South Danville. Tho , pationt, however, seem* r| ro suffer no pain nor inconvenience from the jolt lUK of the hack. At South Danville l:e seemed «juit" cheerful and convers cd freely with tlie friend- who had gone with him to the station. Mr. Moyt :• \va- accompany d to tho hospital by Dr. C. Shnltz, also by bin wife, hi- 112 itli -r C. (*. Moyer, his sist or, Mr.;. Ivy B. Eye and the little daughter of ti, latter. Dr. Keen lias a reputation second to none in his profession. Ilis hospital ranks hi h among institutions ot it* kind in Philadelphia and othor cities and it is gratifying to reflect that Mr. Mover will have the benefit o? the most advaiu ed treatment known to surgical science. That his recoverv may h » effected is the ardent wish of all. A Canning Factory. Among the new industries that are likely to b-> established in Danville sooner or later i-. a canning factory. A projo. rof thi- s >rt i- being talked up at pros nt by iifii who an- likel/ to push it through and it would not be at all surprising if by next year this time canned goiid- would be on the market that wero grown iu Moutour county and canned in Danville. It would bo difficult to find a local ity better adapted to th • growing ot ▼eget-ibbs than this s r*tion of the state, l'lie yield ot tomatoes, corn beans, cabbage and the like is often a superabundant one, which completely pluts the local market. The variety and abundance of garden truck which in season finds its way to Danville is the source ot 111 ticli wonder to strang ers who visit lh" town. A canning factory would not only us • up the surplus truck of tbe present acreage, but would enconrago tbe growing of vegetables on a mneh larg er scale, insuring a steady demand and reasonable prices. The farmer who finds the growing of wheat unprofita ble would have an opportunity to ex periment with lic'ster crops under circumstances whi would promise a good return. The canning factory in view is not a plant conduct-- 1 on tho co-operative plan, as i- usual with propositions ot this sort. On tin contrary it would be owned and operated by a corjiora tion, which would purchase tbe veget ables from the farmer, who would be given 110 share in the profits nor ask ed to assume any of tho risks. Frequent Disinfection. A hill introduced in the Legislature last Monday, providing for the per iodical disinfection of school bouses should be passe d without loss of time. In some places health boards disinfect the schools whenever in their opinion this becomes necessary, but ir would be better to do this more frequently. Ir is known that contagious diseases are oftonest communicated in school bouses. There is no known method of preventing the spread of disea.-e equal to free and frequent disinfection. A germicide is as necessary and should be used as faithfully as nap and wat er. Let the disinfectant be what it may so long as it prove- efficacious; there need be 110 private interest ad vanced by tin- pas-age of the bill. Periodical disinfection should be made obligatory; not merely recom mended. As a preventive agency it should be employed even iu private residences at regular intervals. This probably could not be compelled by legislation, hut the advisability of it should force itself upon every boose holder's mind. Pass the disinfection hill and make it operative quickly. Surprise Party. A surprise was tendered Dallas Sny der at his home 011 East Front street Saturday evening in honor of his 31st birthday.
