FIRE IT COURT
& VffltfS
A tire broke out in the works of
Curry & Yauuan Sunday afternoon,
which for a few minutes imperilled
the entire plant. The tire fortunately
was soon discovered and extinguished
before a great deal of damage was
done.
The tire broke out in a very bad
place, among the woodwork immedi
ately above the core furnace, which
yesterday wa- heated to an unusually
high degree for the purpose of baking
a couple of large cores. The space
above, which i- immediately under the
roof, was enclosed and out of view.
The woodwork owing to its long ex
posure to the heat was as dry as tin
der and once on tire it burned very
rapidly.
Several men happened to !e in the
works Sunday and it was due to this
circumstance that the fire was so easily
controlled. The presence of smote
was soon detected and one of the men
in lookitrg up saw the flames through
the interstices between the boards.
While one called np the tire com
panies by telephone, others quickly
went to work with the mill hose and
did good execution. The Washington
Hose company succeeded in getting a
stream on the foundry, but their ser
vices were hardlv needed. By the
time the Friendship fire company ar
rived the fire was extinguished. The
Continental hoys were also on the way
but upon reaching Church street and
learning that their services were not
needed, they turned around aid went i
back.
Dan M. Curry, one ol the firm, yes
terday afternoon stated that he did
not think the loss would exceed fifty i
dollars.
Fickle April.
Fickle Apiil! Are you not ashamed
after tlie season of flowering has be- '
gun, and the warm, genial weather of i
the past three weeks or more, to j
spring such a blight on vegetation as !
yesterday morning? Bur no ie-s could
be expected. The year brings its aver
age temperature and average rainfall.
With the unseasonable warm weather |
of March we could not help but have ;i
reaction, and if is better now than j
later. The trouble is that April is
likely to have more cold in reserve. ,
It is very seldom that vegetation i
is so forward as at present, and it
is inconceivable, that the early j
cherry and peach crops will not be '
almost a total failure. There is I
no use to lament, however, if one ;
section of the country suffers from
the loss of a certain crop, the republic
covers such an area that there will be
an abundance elsewhere, and, with
the transportation facilities a- they
now are,the consuming public does not
suffer much from local shortage.
Don't Molest the Birds.
The time is rapidly approaching
when the small boy is apt to hie him
self into the woods on an egg-collect
ing tour. Nests of birds will he in
terfered with and eggs purloined. The
plunder may be carrried home and pre
served perhaps for a few days and
then be neglected, or perhaps flu* hoys
en route from the woods may be
spatter the side of a barn with the
eggs. Every egg stolen by thoughtless
Jads means one less bird that will he
given life. It will be well to remem
ber that a state law forbids the looting
of the nests of birds, and parents
ought to take the trouble to carefully
caution their children not to offend.
No person has a right to collect birds'
egg* except for scientific purposes,ami
a license must fiist be procured for the
purpose.

ODD FELLOWH' |
DA! AT IILTON
Local Odd Fellows' lodges have re- j
c ived invitations to attend the Odd
Fellows celebration at Milton 011 Ap
ril 'JS. The Milton odd Fellows are
advertising th«> celebration in a unique
manner by -ending out buttons contain
ing the inscription, "Meet 1110 at Mil
ton April 28."
The coming ct lebration promises to
be one of the most successful in the
history of the fiat rnity. This is
putting it rather strong,hut neverthe
less indications are pointing that way.
Two years ago the association met
at Williamsport, and last year at Jer
sey Shore. This year it will convene
at Milton, and the local committee
in that hustling, up-10-date, town is
sparing neither time nor expense to
outdo tho-' who have preceded tlieni
in entertaining Odd Fellow visitors
from all ovi r the state.
The annual session of the associa
tion will be held in flu- hall of Mu
tual Lodge, No. SI, at 11 o'clock a.
m. All lodges, Encampments and
Cantons that hold membership in the
association are entitled to a represen
tative at this session, who will have
a voice in its deliberations, and all
organizations are requested to join
this year, whether or not they have
previously been members of the as
sociation.
There will be a parade at 2 o'clock
p. 111., in which all Odd Fellows are
invited and requested to participate.
After the parade addresses will be
made by prominent mcmbors of the
order.
Some of the Grand Lodge officers
will be present to participate in the
exercises, and theie will be a special
session of the Grand Lodge in the
evening, which will be of great inter
est to past grands, after which there
will be a lodge of instruction for all
Scarlet Degree members.
The Pennsylvania Odd Fellows'
Anniversary association was organized

the city of Williamsport, for the
prime purpose of celebrating this day,
and it has flourished from that time
forth, until today it is recognized as
011 ■of tin permanent auxiliaries to
the cause of Odd Fellowship in the
State of Pennsylvania.
In consequence of these facts, the
official call has been issued to all Odd
Fellows in this district to join in cel
ebrating the birthdav of the order by
going to Milton and participating in
th" program which will he prepared
by the executive committee of active
Odd Fellows of that town.

lainen* ss over my kidneys and aching
in the small of my back. I used many
i remedies,trying first one thing and then
another, but without being cured. I
I learned abmt Doan's Kidney Pills and

Be loyal to the town in which you
live at all times and all conditions. Bo
loyal!
A man belonging to a labor organ
ization who is not loyal to his com
rades is denominated a scab and often
expelled from the society. Loyalty is
a basis principle for membership in
any society, whether it be a secret or
labor unions or the broader organiza
tions religious or national.
And there is no reason in any man
being disloyal to the community in
which he dwells, and where lie enjoys
the social privileges and the gains of
labor or oT his busine-s or professional
acumen. Be loyal!
And tii be loyal means to be staunch
in support <if tlu* local government.
Aid the burgess in his endeavors to
uphold the maje-fy of the law; assist
the school board by obeying the plain
mandates of the laws they are sworn
to enforce; do your share in the
municipal government by offering
your commendation'to the town coun
cil when it is working for your best
interests and censure promptly when
your inten st- are not properly safe
guarded. Be loyal to your town!
Win n yon visit in some neighboring
city, be careful to speak in praise of
vour own town : no neeil to minimi/.c
the good tilings of your neighbors but
be generous in praise of the valuable
things we enjoy at home and forget
for the time all of the unpleasant feat
ures, il there are any. in your home
town. Be loyal !

'NEW BOILER
ASKED FOR
file extraordinary growth of Y. M.
('. A. work which is general through
out tbe countrv,is manifested in Dan
ville by the overcrowded condition
of the Y. M. C. A. rooms, especially
the gymnasium, where the work is
eonsiderahlv handicapped.
At a meeting of the Board of Direc
tors of the Y. At. O. A , Tuesday
night, General Secretary W. 1). Lau
-111 istor pre-. nted a -l itemont showing
that by reason of increased patronage
with larger classes 111 the gymnasium,
an enlargement and betterment of the
bathing facilities have become imper
ative. It is 11 ue, lie said, that not
withstanding tie 1 inconvenience ro
which thev have been exposed, the
patrons have proven very forbearing,
nevertheless the fact is apparent that
the facilities aie wholly inadequate.
A larger number of shower baths are 1
needed to meet the demands after ;
class work.
To meet the demand, lie thought a i
new and larger boiler would have to j
be installed, with feed pipes and all i
connections so arranged that each sep- j
arate shower will be supplied with
water in sufficient quantity heated to
the proper temperature.
\s a circumstance which justifies i
the change the fact is well-known
that the boiler at present in use has
s rved its day. Aside from the fact
that it is too small it is about rusted
through at the top rendering it un
suitable for much longi r service.
The matter was fully discussed by
the Board of Directors, after which
it was referred to the Executive Com
mittee who will report it back at the
next monthly meeting. The Directors
j are desirous of keeping pace with the
needs of the Association and there is
little doubt but that the new boiler
with enlarged bathing facilities will
be installed in the near future.
Y. M. C. A. work is expanding
along all lines. The record during
the past year lias proven the most re
markable in the history of the Asso
ciation, over £12,000,000 having been
spent on new buildings and 011 im
provements, fully denioustrating that
• the value and need of the work is
fully appri eiafed bv the people.
As :i result of this expansion, the
gymnasium here itself his become too
small. Tho increased pitrouage is no
doubt in great measure due to Prof.
C. C. Carpenter, who as Physical Di
rector has proven himself the right
man in the right place, and by his
earne-t, practical body-building work
has brought the p ople to realize that
a vigorous ami healthful manhood can
be maintained only by an indulgence
in regular and systematic exercise.

INTERESTING
OLD JOURNAL
William M. Russell, of this eity, in ;
looking over some old books it day or ;
so ago came across an i nterestiug rel- ;
ic in tlio form of a journal of the
Senate of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania for the year 1791.
The old book has a deep local in- I
terest owing to the fact that General
William Montgomery, the founder of
Danville and great grandfather of Mr.
Russell, was then a member of the :
State Senate and that his uaine in con
nection with the various votes taken j
is registered at intervals throughout
the pages.
Thomas Mifflin was then Governor
of Pennsylvania and the largest num
ber of Senators whose names appear in
connection with any vote is seventeen.
Upon adjournment of the Senate,
orders were drawn in favor of the
Speaker and members, by which it is
noticed that the remuneration of
: Senators of that day was by no means !
princely. Samuel Powell, who had '
j "fifty-six days at two dollars audi
I seventy-one days as Speaker, at three j
J dollars,"received a total of three bun- j
j died and twenty-three dollars.
William Montgomery had one bun- j
! dred and twenty-seven days at two
i dollars and he accordingly received
two hundred and lifty-four dollars for
his services during the term. His
mileage, which is given as "2(50,"
amounted to twenty-six dollars extra.
The session lasted 127 days and with
the exception o! the Speaker, there
were none whose remuneration ran any
higher than General Montgomery's,
although a few had more mileage.
The following motion which was
read for the second time during the
session and adopted, shows the high
esteem in which the character of
George Washington was held at a time
when he was still liviug and in the
midst of his activities:
"Resolved, That in commemoration
of the important and meritorious ser
vices rendered to his country by George
Washington, whose character and con
duct have triumphed in proportion to
the difficulties they have encountered
and have attracted the admiration and
respect of all nations where valor and
virtue are held in estimation, there be
procured, at the public expense, a full
length port rait punting and a marble
bust, expressive of his person, and as
far as possible, characteristic of his
talents.
Resolved, That the said painting and
bu-t !>■• deposited wherever the Legis
lature shall deem expedient."

FRIENDSHIP OF
SIOUX INDIANS
BISMARCK,N. D., April B.—Stand
ing in the private office of Governor
White at the state capital yesterday
afternoon, President Roosevelt receiv
ed the assurance of the friendship and
support of the great Sioux Indian
tribe and similar assurances from the
chiefs of the Maudau and Grosven
tres. Twenty of the most distinguish
ed chieftains of the tribes had come
from their agencies to see the "Great
Father," and to assure, him of their
i support and good will.
There wore many famous Indians in
the assemblage. John Grass, the ora
tor and chief justice of the Sioux,made
the presentation of the tribe's good
will in a translation of the address
which had been agreed upon in council
of the chiefs. At the same time Grass
preseuted the president a peace pipe
of beautifully carved pipestone, in
token ol the good will and friendship
,of the Indians. Among the chiefs
; present were Red Tomahawk, the
Indian who killed Sitting Bull at the
I time of the uprising in the early niue
; ties; Red Fish, one of the hereditary
leaders of the Sioux; Black Bull,
1 Standing Bear, Crow Ghost, Cross
Bear and other Sioux chiefs.
A POLITICAL HOPE.
"We have been treated well by the
good Great Father," said Grass,"and
we hope he will again bf- 'Great Fath
er' when his time is over."
Water, chief of the Mandan Indians,
also presented written assurances of
the good will of his people. "Tell
him," said President Roosevelt,
through the interpreter, "that I am
glad to see him. The Maudau Indians
have always done well." Then the
wrinkled old chieftains grunted their
approval.
Later the president went to a big
barbecue, where he ate with geuuiue
relish a huge sandwich of roast beef
and rye bread.
"Gentlemen," he said, to members
of the committee, "you have put a
cap sheaf of enjoyment on my trip so
far. I know so many of you here, and
it seems good to breathe this free
western air again. I cannot thank you
too much for the pleasure you have
given me."
AT HIS OLD HOME.
The most interesting ceremony of
the day occurred at Medora,where the
president at one time owned a ranch,
and which was his post office address
sixteen years ago, when he was sheriff
of Billing- county. Medora is a small
place, but the ranchmen from the sur
rounding country had come into town
and they gave the president a truly
western reception. Joe Ferris, the
president's old foreman,and his broth
er, S. M. Ferris, met the president
at Bismarck and rode with him to
Medora.

Gathering Spring Flowers
The warm days of last week made
one long for the woods and fields with
an intensity that no other season of
the year cau produce. Even now the
first of the season, the illy-named
j skunk cabbage, is out, and has been
j eagerly pounced upon by early seek
ers. The three lohed hepatica will
bloom the first two weeks of April.
< if all the spring flowers perhaps the
trailing arbutus is the favorite. These
small clusters of rose colored spicy
fragrant flowers are eagerly sought
after. The plant grows in sandy or
rocky woods, and is perhaps the most
abundant wild flower, excepting vio
lets and dandelions, in this section.
The buds are already open.
The anemone or wind-flower,so call
ed because the tall slender stems are
easily swayed by the wind,call be found
in a few places. The petals ar« white
or pinkish white,and the flower seems
almost too dainty to dare the blasts
of early spring.
The days of the dog tooth violet w ill
soon be here also. How the flower
ever got this name is a mystery. It
in no w i'c resembles the violet and
has no characteristics of this familv,
belonging in fact to the lily family.
The flower itself is bell-shaped and of
a light yellow color. The leaves are
oblong, lanceolate and are motted and
dotted with dark purplish and whit
ish streaks. The flower thrives best
in damp places.
IE COMING
BOUT SEASON
Disciples of Isaac Walton all over
the State of Pennsylvania are watch
ing the calendar closely, in anticipa
tion of the opening of the trout sea
son, iu a few days. Thousands of
sportsmen indulge in angling, con
sidered the most delightful form of
recreation to be had in any line.Trout
fishing, especially, thrills the souls of
a great army of men, who are skilled
in the art of casting the hook and line,
not only on account of the gameuess
and cunning of the speckled beauties,
but on account of the delicacy of this
species of fish from the standpoint of
the epicurean. The streams of Schuyl
kill county and all the other counties
iu the mountains of the coal field, in
the days of our grandfathers,abounded
with countless thousands of brook
and mountain trout, but the pollution
of the streams has wrought sad havoc
with these aquatic denizens, and now
adays they are found only in the
streams located outside the coal mea
sures. It must not be inferred, how
ever, that the gamey trout has become
extinct in this regiou. Thanks to the
interest manifested by many of the
true sportsmen in fish propagation,
many of the virgin streams are stock
ed yearly with fry furnished by the
government and State hatcheries.
Twice a year the U. S. government
fish commissioner sends thousands of
yearlings into this territory, which
are put into the trout streams. The
State also furnishes many thousands of
fry into the region yearly. Many
fishermen are skeptical, however,as to
the success of the State's efforts at fish
propagation. The fry sent out by the
State of Pennsylvania are delivered at
the age of about three months, when
they are not over an inch in length.
These small fish, it is believed, iu
large numbers, become the prev of the
larger trout and other fish native to
these waters. The government fry
range from four to five inches in
length and are better able to defend
themselves. The general opinion
among sportsmen is that the money
spent by the State in fish culture is
practically wasted for the reason stat
ed, and the question of growing the
fry to yearlings is being seriously dis
cussed in many quarters.
The most pleasing form of fishing is
with the artificial fly, which is an art
in which few become adept. The
mountain streams are not adapted to
fly fishing on account of the overhang
ing growths, and those who are skill
ed in this line seek larger streams or
dams at distant places.
The old-fashioned way of fishing,
with live bait, is the popular style
hereabouts, and no special degree of
skill is required to laud the fish by
this means, if the trout be iu a mood
to take the bait offered him.
We have treated trout fishing as an
art. It is more; it is a science. Many
profound works have been written on
the subject, the most noteworthy he
iug "The Angler," the product of that
philosophical genius, Isaac Walton.
There are a few good trout streams
iu Schuylkill county, the oues being
those that have their source in the
Blue Mountains—iu West Penn, the
Brunswicks, Washington and Pine
grove townships. Black Cieek, Gold
Mine Creek, Indian Run, Tumbling
Run and dams afford good fishing on
favorable days. For first class mount
ain stream fishing,however, the angler
should hie himself to Lycoming, Clin
ton, Snyder or Centre counties, where
in the ravines of the Alleghenies,there
are hundreds of streams in which
trout are found in great numbers.
The opening day of the trout fishing
season is Wednesday, April 15, and
the closing day Wednesday, July 15.

Made of Anthracite Coal.
Several beautiful ornaments made of
anthracite coal may be seen in the
window of Martin Landau's cigar
store on Mill street. They]include two
largo vases, inkstands, pincushions,
etc.,and were presented to Mr. Landau
by his father-in-law in Lansford.
The ornaments show that anthracite
coal is capable of taking on a very
rare polish. Iu addition it is soft and
easily worked and in the bands of an
artist can be given any form desirable
!no matter how ornate or finely
! wrought. The tall graceful vases and
the other ornaments in Mr Landau's
window have attracted considerable
attention during the last couple of
days.
Working anthracite coal into such
forms is not exactly a new thing, but
during the recent strike when coal be.
came scarce and it was popular to re
gard it as possessing a fabulous value
the manufacture of ornaments out of
anthracite received a great boom. I
Nowhere was the trade more active
than at Lansford which is in the heart
of the Schuylkill coal field. A factory
was established there which has grown
into a permanent industry. A demand
for its unique product is constantly in
creasing and the factory has jnst in
creased its capacity.
Polished anthracite is not only
utilized iu the manufacture of clock
cases, which can be made very orna
mental, but it has actually displaced
many forms of jewelry, being used for
breast pins, lodge badges and the like.
This fad is not confined to Lansford
alone, hut is known to take in a large
portion of the coal region.
This use of anthracite has very
nearly revolutionized the jewelry busi
liess in some of the coal towns. The
protest of the jewelers, however,
availed naught and many of them in
order to eater to the popular taste have
been obliged to handle the anthracite
articles instead of those made of more
valuable materials.
