The farmers have made the most of the phenomenally nice weather pro vailing up to a tew day- past by pro ceeding with their spring work as rapidly as possible. 1 here are com paratively few farmers who have not been ploughing in omeof their fields aud as a con.-' qnonce with their work are farther ahead by several weeks than they were last year or 112« »r several year- past. Ahrani Hendricksoii, Yallev town ship, has already ploughed a field of sevt ii acres. Mr. Hendricksoii says it is no unusual thins: to plough in March and for that uiatti r lie has ploughed every month in the year in his time. What i- remarkable in the present season, he says, I- the j rolonged si ell of unseasonable weather, which jjave us spring when winter was due. He has never before known nearly the whole of March top i-- without snow, nor exjM rienced more than a f> w days at a time when pi on ghiiif; was possible. Farmers still stand in dread of a freeze.which they feel i- sure to come with possibly direful effect- on the fruit and other crops. May Work Half Time. Coal is being accumulated at all of the shipping joints on the Reading svstem to such an < xteut that if some fresh demands for anthracite do not arise in the near future the unofficial annnanc ment is mad" that possibly in April, and anyhow not later than May, the company will he compelled to restrict the production of coal aud in all probability the mine-, will be put on half time. It i» < stimated that at leas' thirty-three j .-r cent, of tin regular anthrai ite trade has been lost and taken over by the bituminous peo ple a- tin result of tie. pa-t strike and that all of the mrU of the put three or foar y< ars to create additional de mands for anthracite has been 10-t and that then will h ftr less demand for the hard c< al in. the near future than for some time past. With a view to increasing the -ale it is thought that maybe the old practice of resort ing to spring reductions in price will go into vogne again. Band Officers Elected.

Riebe, the general secre tary of Berwick, addressed a good -i/.ed audience of men in Y. M. C. \. hall [Sun lay" afternoon. The "address was a deep and scholarly one and held the close attention of those present. Mr. Riebe spoke on"The Tripart ite Man." He drew three ellipses on the board and named the lower the body, the higher the spirit and m dicated the soul as the uniting medium He said the body contains the five senses. which are the avenues of knowledge and constitute our only means of communication with the world; the soul contains the intellect and emotions. He classified the in tellectual faculties under four heads; sensation, perception,imagination and reason and named the will as the center of man's being. This was spok en ot a- the basis of conscience, fol lowed by the moral sentiments of ap probation or remorse. The spirit is the observatory of man's being and contains the telescope bv means of which Cod alone can be apprehended or worshipped. The body for sense-consciousness, the soul for personality, the spirit for responsi bility. Responsibility he defined as the ability to respond. The unsaved man can not respond to (rod. Spiritually, lie is dead; there fore the Scriptures; "Awake from the dead thou that sleepest and God shall give tlice light. He is potentially, spiritually dead, but not actually so. His spirit is likened to the candle of the Lord in Proverbs 20: 2T, which is unlit, but is capable of being lighted by the Holy spirit. lie then defined the words: "Na tural," "Spiritual," "Carnal." The natural man cannot see truth. The spiritual man sees truth. The carnal man can see truth, hut wills not to. The carnal man is a Christian, but living a lift' under the rebuke of God. A hand mirror cau be used to illustrate. When turned up it mirrors upper things; when turned down it, mirrors lower things. The mirror up, spiritual; the mirror down, carnal. Under the head of "Temptation" he pictured seven iron steps downward : Trifling with sin; yielding to sin; habitually yielding to sin ; abandon ment to sin; abandoned of God to sin and passion; allying oneself with the devil in tempting others to lust and pa-siou; Hell, and you need not go out of this world to find it. The man who hates the things that God loves is in hell. Hell i- character as well as location. There are seven golden steps up wards : Resistance as an attitude; overcom ing sin; habitually victorious over sin ; learning the secret of a victorious life : taken up by God into the secret o! his presence aud confidence; a succorer of others; Heaven, and you need not go our of this world to find it. That man who loves the things that God loves is in Heaven. The above is only an outline. The addn <s in its entirety was an exhaus tive survey of life and the realm of sprit. The choir of Pine Street Lutheran church furnished special music for the occasion,which was most thorough ly enjoyed. Celebrated Wedding Anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Eli Rosenthal enter tained a number of friends at their home on Water street Monday in honor of their 23rd wedding anniver sary. A ladies euchre was given in the afternoon. An elegant supper was served to both ladies and gentlemen in tin- evening. The house was most beautifully decorated, the figure "23" forming a great part in the arrange ment. The day was a most enjoyable one. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. .luliiis H< yn, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hi im, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Blocli, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Gross.

Buna way Boy Beturned. Willie Myers, the eleven-year-old hoy, who ran away from the Holy Family Convent at this place last week,was brought back to the institu tion oil Saturday. The little fellow was located by letters written to the convent, both by the hoy himself and by the farmer with whom he was stopping. He was found a short distance below Sunbury on the opposite side of the river by lie v. A. M. Feesor. Chaplain of the Holy Family Convent. Rev. Feeser returned on the 2:21 Pennsylvania train Saturday afternoon bringing the boy along with him. ACTION TAKEN EI nn ll begins to look as though Danville would be one of the lir-t boroughs to proceed to recover the commission on license fees which under a recent rul ing of the Superior Court the County Treasurers have no right to deduct. Mr. Reifsnyder brought the math r up in council on Friday night, calling attention to the deci-ion of the late Judge Albright of county, which was affirmed by the Superior Court a week or so ln re by many thousands of dollars will be added to the treasuries of many co.iuties in the state. The City of Alleutowu, it appears, was one of tiie first, to contend that county treasurers are not entitled to commission for paying into the trea suries of cities, boroughs and town ships their share of liquor license fees. Suit was brought against former Trea surer S. ,T. Ilartman for slid and former Treasurer James M. Sechler for SSBB, which they had deducted as commission. The local court decided in favor of the city and the Superior Court sustained this opinion. After a full discussion of the sub ject, Friday night, on motion of Mr. Reifsnyder the matter was referred to the Finance committee, to prevent, if possible,further deduction in the form of fees on license money and to see if it may not be possible to recover some of the money that has been deducted in this way. Danville, whose share of the license money is something over $3,000, loses over §l5O in commission, which ac cording to the recent ruling can not be claimed by law. Parry Memorial Movemont. Judging from the large and repre sentative attendance at Saturday's meeting, March 7, at Cardiff and the hearty sympathy with the objects in view expressed in the large number of letters received, the Dr. Joseph Parry national memorial movement has every promise or eliciting generous and widespread support. Mr. Marchant, Williams, the stipendiary of Merthyr who presided, made the gratifying an uoucement that a total of $1,»>50 has already been promised. This included an annonymous donation of §250 while many offers were received from choirs, male and mixed, to organize concerts; and Mr. Quigley, the lessee of the Cardiff Grand Theatre, where the late musician's last opera was produced, wrote offering the loan of that build ing for the holding of a Sunday sacred concert in aid of the fund.—Wilkes barre Times. PAIE EXCHANGE. A New Back for an old one bow i f is done in Danville. The back aches at times with a dull indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; shooting pains shoots across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame to stoop in agony.

A packed house at the Kasson last night again testifitd to the fact that there is no more popular entertainer who visits our city than Lyman H. Howe. Mr. Howe has been a frequent visitor here, but his moving picture entertainment always contains a re freshing newness that speaks of con stant research after subjects, and a thorough comprehension of what will please the people. This is the explana tion of his invariable success in Glov ersville. Last night's presentation was greatly enjoyed by the great audience. The people woie not disappointed in their expectations either as new and interesting subjects or the excellence of their presentation. The Nile series was especially interesting, while the variety of lighter subjects, including the humorous, was greatly enjoyed. Mr. Howe's system is unquestionably without a rival,and as a whole his en tertainments are worthy of the splen did patronage he always receives.— Glovcrsville, N. Y. Daily Leader, March 7th. Howe's Moving Pictures will soon appear in this city under the auspices of Trinity M. E. church. Entertained at Dinner. Arthur C. Aiuesbury entertained a number of friends at his home on Church street, Saturday evening, the event being his 30th biithday. Those present were: George M. West, Ed ward Purpur, Charles ('loud, Charles Snyder, Harry Phile, Charles f'eifer, Samuel Marks, W. H. Lunger, Edward Ellenhogeii, Dr. J. O. Hied and J. W. Robison. During the evening an elaborate dinner was served. The menu contain ed everything good and the guests were treated in a most hospitable manner. Nothing to add to their enjoyment was left undone and the event was indeed a most pleasant one.

COAL DIGGERS FOUND CORPSE Tho dead body of it man was found floating in llm river near tho point of Packer's Island, Sunbury, shortly be fore noon Saturday, by John Snyder and Edward Horold.of Shainokin Dam, who were digging coal. Tho corpse was removed to the un dertaking establishment of E. S. Weimer & Co.. Sunbury. Apparently the man was middle-aged, about 5 feet •! inches in height and weighed in the neighborhood of MO pounds. Ho bad short, red chin whiskers. From ap pearances the body had been in the water about four months. There was nothing whereby identi fication could be established. The body was clad in heavy blue overalls,flannel drawers, vest, two blue checkered over-shirts flannel undershirt, woolen socks and a pair of heavy working shoe-'. In one of tho overall pockets was found an even hundred dollars in live, ten, and twenty dollar bills, and an additional four dollars and thirty one cents was found in a vest pocket, which also contained two small keys. No papers of any description could be found and there were no tatoo marks on the body, which might aid in learn ing the man's identity. From the dress and looks of the body tin* supposition is that the man was an Americ an and more than likely came to his death while digging coal at some point up the river. Coroner Dreher, ot Shamokln, will empanel a jury to investigate the mystery as far as possible. The Fourth at Milton, The -Ith of July celebration in Mil ton is now an assured fact. The town council will do something nice in the way of a donation and the citizens generally will respond when approach ed by the financial committee. This is as it should be. The boys who make up the department aro good honest fellows and brave and willing fire fighters. It is safe to say there is no better, nor more valiant company in the State when numbers and equip ment are taken into account, and they seldom ask recognition, so that it ought to be a pleasure for our people to aid thorn in making Uncle Sam's birthday anniversary a howling suc cess. Failure to do so would reflect more on tho town than on the com pany—and we know for a fact that Miltonians are not constructed on that plan. Encourage the movement not only by a liberal contribution but by words of cheer as well.—Miltonian. Annual Spring- luspectior. The annual Spring inspection of Company F, 12th, regiment,N. G.

MIBER MYSTERY NEAR SHAMIR The Northumberland county author ities will be called upon to unravel a supposed murder mystery due to the finding of the body ot a foreigner along the Heading railroad, near Excelsior, Wednesday morning, with his skull badly crushed. Warren Scott, an engineer on the Reading railroad, while riding in bis engine, noticed from the cab window Jlie body of a man lying on tho ground near the railroad embankment, and stopping his engine he made an exam ination and learned that the man had b'en dead for several hours. Summon ing assistance the body was removed ti a Shamokin undertaker's establish ment and was later recognized as the body of Anthony Rozwadowski, a resident of the little mining patch of Continental, about a mile and a half from Excelsior. Coroner Dreher was summoned and an examination showed that Rozwa dowski's skull had been badly fractur ed, the skull having two separate breaks one behind each ear. No other marks or bruises were found about the head or body, but the clothing which the dead man wore was cover ed with hair which proved to be that of a cow as near as could be determin ed. The finding of the body caused in tense excitement in the vicinity where it was found and the consensus of opinion is that the man's death was due to foul play and that a cold blood ed murder is being concealed. Rozwa dowski was a single managed about 43 years and was employed as a miner. The dead man boarded with a family by the name of Glerski and as a family living close by keep a cow whose coat is the same color as tho hair found on Rozwadowski's clothing,it is the gen eral belief that tho dead man was murdered and his body carried on the back of the cow to tlie place where it was later found. It is also stated that this particular cow was missing dur ing Tuesday night. Those who doubt the murder theory are of the opinion that Rozwadowski met his death by falling from a train on the Reading road. It has also been learned that on January Iwhile out driving with two companions, Rozwadowski was struck on the head with a whiskey bottle and rendered unconscious. He had his two companions arrested for assaulting him, anil one was subjected to a fine and costs and the other re leased. The oue who was forced to pay the line and costs can not be found. Friends of the dead man claim that be had several enemies who had often threatened to take his life. Coroner Dreher and Northumber land Count}* Detective Geise are con ducting a thorough investigation. Tragedy Averted. "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved writes Mrs. W. Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him an 1 a terri ble cough set ill besiiVs. Doctors treat ed him, but lie grew worse every day.

The failuro of the Blumle bill which proposed to pay awards by the State to mothers of large families to receive the necessary number of votes will hardly surprise any one. It wasn't taken seriously by anybody except those who were opposed to it, and they imagined that it would make a vast raid on the treasury. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't have caused much ot a drain and whatever it would have cost would have been money well in vested. As Mr. Blumle said Satur day, the mother of a largo family is more entitled to honor than a General or Admiral who has won victories. It is to tho credit of the Legislature that a majority of those who voted on the question voted in tho affirmative. If the contrary bad been true we should despair of the future ot tho Commonwealth. It would have in dicated a lack of appreciation of the greatest sacrifices that could possibly be made for the human family. If the mother who has relinquished all the pleasures of social life, all the op portunities of enjoyment which free dom from domestic cares involve, is not deserving of a testimonial of esteem then nobody is and Mr. Bluinle's bill ought to have passed.

In tin* locali ties which supply our jpreat uitoH with cattle ami produce it is of vital importance to the shipper to know t.:. -- - ' - MOKE OF THESE WANTED. [From Cooil Koa'ls Magazine.] when to ship to obtain the best prices or when to hold for a rising market. Heretofore 1 lie farmer, remote from the market, had to depend almost en tirely on the market quotations given him by Hie buyt r. Now lie can consult the same market report every day that the buyer receives, and through the same medium, the daily press. You may be surprised to hear that in many places tin' morning paper reaches the hands of the farmer as soon as it does the resident of the large city in which it is published. It goes without saying that the serv ice, to be ellieient and satisfactory, must be performed with regularity and punctuality. Every one will see at once that an efficient service is only possible over good roads; over bad ones It can not be maintained. Investigations have shown, however, that portions of at least one-tliird of the KMHHI routes now in operation are laid over bad or inferior roads. Today the unimproved condition of many of our country roads forms tlie one great obstacle encountered in the extension of the rural free delivery service. The experience of the past two or three years has so thoroughly convinced the department that the success of the service, the ultimate perfection of its operation, depends upon the good con dition of the roads that it now exacts from petitioners for the service an agreement on their part to improve the roads or to see that the proper authori ties will do so. The federal authorities are, of course, powerless to force those charg ed with the construction and main tenance of roads to comply with these requests, but they have it within their power at any time to withdraw the rural delivery service from roads over which its operation is impeded or ren dered impossible on account of the lack of attention by the state or coun ty authorities. Only in one or two in stances has the department been com pelled to resort to this extreme. In almost every instance its request is promptly complied with by both the road supervisors and the people. In this wit., a strong impetus lias been given to road improvement in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and Illi nois. I'., fore the department establishes the free delivery service in cities enti tled to it tinder the law the local au thorities are required not only to num ber tlu* houses, but to sidewalk the streets, post the street names and to properly light the streets. Why, then, should it not insist upon a reasonably good road over which to extend to the farm, rs of this country the greatest benefit ever given them by the govern ment since its foundation? When our farm rs come to realize that they can not have rural five di livery as efficient as the service enjoyed by their city cousins unless the country roads are putin condition to make such a service possible, they will not only insist upon the necessary road improvements, but will no doubt willingly have their lands taxed for that purpose. Mm- llontl.s With Trees. The matter of planting trees along the roadside is receiving considerable attention, and the plan should be uni versally adopted. A law is already in force in the state of New York, says Gond IJoads Magazine, and its progress lias been gratifying. I' l Pennsylvania the last legislature passed a law which proviib s that any one liable for road tax: s "wliit shiiil transplant to the public higl way o:i his own premises nny fruit, shade or forest tret s "112 suit able s ;:e h ill be allowed by the road supervisors an abatement of his road tax- s.
