The new rooms in the Grone building
are very handsomely furnished, the
lodge room especially being one of the j
finest in Central Pennsylvania.
The annual session of the Grand
I.odge will beheld in Baltimore, Md., !
this year, and many of tho members

in a social way.
Crop Outlook.
The weather bureau has issued its
weekly summary of crop conditions,
and reports that the crop in the Winter
wheat belt east of the Rocky mount
ains is more promising than for years.
Spring wheat seeding is nearly com
pleted or in progress. Oats are promis
ing in the Southern states. Cotton
planting is making good progress.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and grow
ing well. By the close of March,
which was a very mild month, all
fruits were unusually far advanced.
From the 4th to the 6th of April the
whole country east of Ihe Mississippi
river, including Tennessee, and the
northern portion of the South Atlantic
states, experienced temperatures he
low freezing, stations in the more
northeily districts reporting tempera
tures from 6 degrees to 18 degrees he
low freezing. The reports now in
dicate that many varieties of fruit
have suffered severely, more parti
cularly peaches. In California, while
tome damage has been done by frost,
the outlook is favorable;on the North
Pacific coast the season is so backward
that fruit has not been exposed to in
jury. The excellent crop report will
tend to help the speculative market,
which has been down in the mouth
since the decision on the merger
question.
P. & E. Clerks Mnv Org a
Rumors are current that the clerks
of the P. & R. Coal and Iron Company
and the P. & R. Railway Company
over the entire Reading system, are
about to organize for the purpose of
■ecuring better wages. The movement
is said to have originated in the Read
ing Terminal, Philadelphia. The
clerks say that the Pennsylvania Rail
road employes in the clerical depart
ments last year received an advance
of ten per cent., and that many other
railroads have increased the rate of
wages for this class of employes. They
seem to think it is about time there
was something doing by tho Reading.

COAL COMPANY
AT JBRSEYTOWN
At Jersey town, Thursday night there
was organized the McMichael Coal
Company, composed largely of well
known business men of that commun
ity. The members are: William Craw
ford, Elmer Crawford, William Mc-
Michael, Clark McMichael, Cyrus
Hartline, William Wolf, Evan Kram
er, Charles Kramer, William Kramer,
John B. Johnson, Jacob Winterstoen,
Joseph Rishel, John Risliel, Dr. Sliu
man,Emory Dye and Charles Fruit, of
Jerseytown; A. Reese and Grant
Reese, of North Bend; E. R. Rishel,
of Ottawa; M. A. Berger of Watson
town. Tho organization of the com
pany is as follows: Dr. Shuman,presi
dent ; John Rishel, secretary ; William
Kramer, treasurer; Board of Direct
ors, Charles Fruit, Jacob Wintersteen,
William McMichael, William Craw
fold, Cyrus Hartline, Emory Dye
Charles Kramer.
The organization of this company is
the outgrowth of the findiug of coal
upon his land two or three years
ago by William McMichael. At that
time he was engaged in some excava
tions when only fifteen inches below
the surface he ran across coal, which
upon being analyzed proved to be the
pure coal. There is no doubt about
the fact that there is coal but whether
it is there in paying quantities is
what the newly organized company
proposes to find out. The formation of
the land is favorable and coal pros
pectors who have gone over the land
declare that they will not have togo
down more than thirty feet to find it
in paying quantities. They have al
ready gone down about ten feet and
the coal is still to be found and the
indications much brighter than nearer
the surface.
The newly organized company pro
poses to secure the services of a pros
pector with a diamond drill and to
ascertain exactly what is there.
Each member has agreed to putin a
certain amount and when these funds
are exhausted they will putin as much
again if necessary. Those who are
interested in the project are sanguine
over its prospects and intend pushing
the enterprise to the fullest extent.
Two Base Ball Yarns.
In the opening days of the base ball
season, yarns of the national game are
receiving the passing notice. Here
with are two which are original at
least. Said an old timer: "The closest
game I was ever in was decided in the
most unique way that could be im
agined. At the end of the ninth in
ning the score was a tie, at two runs
each. Both pitchers were in great
shape, and the result seemed far oft
indeed. In our turn at the bat in the
tenth Inning, the first- man to the bat
was a powerful hitter. Weil, he hit
the hall so hard that he actually broke
it in two,one part flying over the right
fence and the other dropped in the
diamond. Here was a situation indeed.
Of course they put him out with one
half the ball, but the umpire declared
the other a home run aud gave the
game to us by the unheard of score of
2y» to 2." The old sport continued
with another. "One day I had been
drinking considerably, but decided to
play ball in spite of my condition. I
played third base. After a while a
batter drove a hard liner straight at
mo. Of course I saw it but instead of
one ball I saw three. I grabbed the
two outside balls hut the middle one
hit me square on the nose, and I was
down and out." At this point the
curtain rang down.
What Are Cigarettes.
Harrisburg dealers in cigars and
cigarettes have asked Attorney Gen
eral Carsou to give them an opinion
upon the Zern auti-cigarette law re
cently signed by Governor Penny
packer, which imposes a penalty of
not less than £IOO nor more than S3OO
upon retailors who sell cigarettes to
persons under 21 years of age.
The dealers want the Attorney Gen
eral to decide what constitutes a ciga
rette. They hold that little cigars,
even when put up in boxes the size of
cigarette packages, are not cigarettes,
and they base their contention upon
the fact that the United States rev
enue stamps on these boxes are cigar
stanq s and not cigarette stamps.
A Hustlimg Town.
Jersey Shore's borough council has
made conclusive decision on the pav
ing and sewering question. Main and
Allegheny streets will be sewered and
paved and the work will be started in
the early part of the summer. At
meetings held last week it was decid
ed to hold an election tor bonding on
May 16, at which time the matter of
bonds will be considered and finally
dealt with. A number of contracts
are being considered and when the
work is started it will be pushed along
at a rapid rate. Williamsport Sun.
Corpse Was Very Much Alive.
Mourners who came to Girardsville
yesterday to attend the funeral of
William Taylor found tho supposed
corpse reading a newspaper on the
front porch. Somehow a report of
Taylor's death had been spread and
printed in the county papers. His
friends living at a distance read the
report and had come to show their le
spect for the departed. Instead of a
funeral there was a feast and flowers
brought along for funeral purposes
were transformed into bouquets for
the dinner table.—Mt. Carmel Item.

ANDERSON
WATER METER
Our former townsman A. P. Pitner,
is paying a visit to this city in the in
terest of a new invention known as
the Anderson Water Mater. Mr. Pit
ner is a member of the company char
tered to exploit, manufacture and sell
water meters under the patents grant
ed to James C. Anderson. Ho is stop
ping at the Montour House where on
Saturday he received a number of calls
from our citizens to whom ho exhibit
ed and explained the principle of the
new meter.
No attempt will be made to explain
the construction of the meter. Suffice
it to say that it is an entirely new
conception, unlike any other in move
ment, shape, size,construction and all
essential points. Tho invention results
as the discovery of overcoming what
is known in engines as "dead cen
ters," a principle sought after by many
inventors. It is far-reaching in its
application and is believed to be the
most valuable point picked up since
the steam engine was invented.
All those who saw the meter Satur
day agreed that it is a wondeifui de
vice, eclipsing all other meters in use
and is the shortest method ever work
ed out for measuring water. It is
simple in mechanism aud Mr. Pitner
holds that they can be made and sold
at a good profit.
Tho company is still selling stock at
$35 per share. It is now about ready
to enter upon tho manufacture of the
meters. They will be made for the
present in the machine shops of Mer
rill & Keizor, Baltimore, Md.
Coal Prices Re-adjusted.
The much-quoted reduction in whole
sale prices of coal has not affectt d
Danville to any considerable extent.
The fifty-cent drop in price quoted to
the "city and line trade" is of course
not shared in by Danville. Nothing
more than a twenty-five cent reduc
tion was quoted in the circulars sent
to the local dealers.
Nevertheless there is a reduction at
the local yards. The prices for April
are as follows: For a net ton of 2,000
pounds, five dollars on all sizes above
No. 6 or pea coal; for a gross ton of
2,240 pounds, five dollars and sixty
cents with a fifteen cent reduction in
all five-ton lots.
The above prices conform with the
figures at which coal is sold in the
neighboring towns where 2,000 pounds
mostly pass as a ton. The prices
here involve a drop of thirty cents,
whereas as will be seen by the above
quotations, the reduction made in
wholesale prices is one of only twenty
five cents. The local dealers are pav
ing this difference out of their pockets
or in other words have smaller profit
than before the re-adjustment of prices.
In all probability former prices of
coal will prevail next fall so that thos'-
who are so situated as to bo able to
purchase next winter's supply now
may save some money by the transac
tion.
Will Obey to the Letter.
While the signing of the bill at Har
risburg imposing a fine of from sioo to
§3OO upon tobacconists who sell cigaret
tes to persons under 21 years of age
came as a surprise to the local deal
ers,they have all signified their inten
tions of obeying the law to the letter.
It was not believed that the hill
would pass the Legislature, as it wa-
I regarded as simply a "pinch" hill.
"The American Tobacco Company,"
said a tobacconist Satruday, "has
grown tired of putting up money all
over the Union to secure the defeat of
legislation simply intended as hold-up
measures and they have latterly de
cided to light what they consider im
proper laws in the courts."
The ban is also placed upon the sale
of cigarette papers but a prominent
tobacconist said Saturday that these
papers have always been furnished
free to customers. The retailer is sup
plied with them free of cost by the
manufacturer, who makes his profit
oft' the cigarette tobacco he sell-. Con
sequently the new law will not affect
the smoker who makes his own ciga
rettes.

Three Suspects Under Arrest.
GALETON, April 15.—Three men,
believed to be members of the gang
who burglarized the bank at Ulysses
about two weeks ago, were arrested
near here last night. Today they w< re
taken to jail at Coudersport to await
a hearing. The men were shadowed
by two detectives for a week or more,
and the fact that they returned to this
point—near where the stolen money is
believed to have been buried-—resulted
in their arrest. One of the men tallies
with the description of Myers, the
suspected murderer of Mrs. Payne. It
will be remembered that the day he
fore the Ulysses robbery one ofttitn t
four suspicious strangers was arrested
there because ho looked so much like
Myers.
The railroads are beginning to
handle the blockades,as a result of in
creased facilities.
AN EASTER
GREETING
Tho Nemoloton Throwing Plant, of
this city, affords an object lesson of
| what may be done to advance the in
terests of employes beyond the mere
payment of so much money tor certain
work performed. The object is to in
culcate nn the boys and girls employ
ed, habits of thrift and industry and
to discipline them into regular and
methodical saving.
Last fall as a Thanksgiving Greet
ing, the proprietor, F. Q. Hartman,
presented each employe in his mill, a
bank book with one dollar deposited to
his or her credit in the Danville Na
tional Bank. The employes were in
formed that an arrangement had been
made with tho bank whereby they
would he permitted to make addition
al depo-its of ten cents or more.
It must be confessed that this was
largely an experiment and the result
was watched with a good deal of in
terest to see what proportion of the
accounts would be withdrawn and
whether or not those which remained
would grow with additional deposits.
The results have proven most gratify
ing, which will be fully appreciated
when it is stated that of the several
hundred accounts practically none
have been withdrawn. On the whole
the proprietor has been much encour
aged with the way the deposits have
grown, in several instances unusually
large sums having been added.
The recurrence of Easter has given
Mr. Hartman an opportunity to re
vive the interest of his employes in
their bank accounts and to encourage
them in habits of methodical saving.
Friday morning notices were
found po.-tcd in the mill informing
the employes that to encourage all who
still had their dollar and savings in
bank Mr. Hartman as an "Easter
Greeting" had decided to increase
their accounts by giving each twenty
five cents to credit in his or her book.
| In order to gain some definite in
formation a representative of the Amer
ican called upon the proprietor
Friday afternoon. Mr. Hartman
stated that in addition to tin "Master
Greeting" of 2i> cents, each worthy
! now employe, who came on since
Thanksgiving, receives a book account
| of one dollar to begin with.
Miss Burke's Views.
1 Mi-s Josephine Buike.the Newberry
'girl, whom Alderman Batzle, of Will
iamsport,has decided must pay for the
presents which she did not return to
her lover, Peter McCloskey, has de
cided to appeal her case to the court
of common pleas, and let a jury of
j twelve good and true men pass upon
the quest ion. The court aim jury have
1 to decide whether a present given dur
i ing an engagement to marry is return
able with the breaking of tlie tngage
; incut, 01 whether the young lady is
l entitled to it just the same as she is
| to any other present.
Miss Burke was at first inclined to
take the verdict of tho alderman as a
joke, but after thinking the matter
over for several days, she has come to
the conclusion that it would be better
to have the whole matter threshed out,
since it has gone as far as it has.
"I'm not an Indian giver," said
Miss Burke since the suit before the
alderman. "I don't ask for my pres
ents back, and don't intend to. If ho
had asked right for the presents I
might have given them back. The
worst thing about the whole matter is
that I hate to have people know that
I bad sueii a friend. Some people are
poking fun at me because I wouldn't
give him bis watch; but 1 think if the
sample lie got at the alderman's oflice
during the trial is anything togo by,
my troubles are not a circumstance
compared to bis."
Alderman Batzle does not 1 i!;•• the
way his decision is being laughed at.
He says that there was evidence at the
hearing to the offect that the young
man had written to Miss Burke some
thing to the effect that he could not
afford to make the presents if they
were not to be married.
The case will come up at the May
term of court, when the letters will
be introduced as evidence, and a final
decision secured.
Reading Making Improvements.
Along the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway lines, from Philadelphia
to Williamsport, extensive improvo
ments'are being made in many places,
and a Shamokin paper says that the
company linds difficulty in securing
the necessary number of masons, brick
layers and carpenters to push the woik
with the rapidity that is needed to ac
complish what is contemplated before
the winter months again set in and
compel outside work to cease.
Many stations are to bo overhauled.
At Gordon a 20,000 gallon water tank
is to be constructed, and from Mtiney
to White Deer the lines are being
double tracked, requiring a large
amount of masonry.

FOUND A CAN
OF 10NB?
A curious story of bidden money
recovered after years of secretion
came to light in this city Friday.
Among those who changed their
residence on April first was Samuel
Geringer who moved into the dwelling
on Railroad street, owned by Joseph
Ankliu. Mr. Anklin formerly oc
cupied the premises himself. About
three years ago his wife died, after
which he removed from the place and
since has had his homo on the same
street a few doors away.
After the death of Mrs. Anklin it is
said that small sums of money were
found hidden about the house. This of
course was taken as an indication that
more might be discovered, but so far
as known no search was prosecuted
outside the dwelling and after the
household goods were removed the
idea of finding more money seems to
have been abandoned.
Since moving day the Geringer
family have been busy fixing up about
tho house,cleaning the 'yard, etc. Fri
day Mrs. Geringer undertook to re
move a lot of old fruit cans from
under an out kitchen where to all ap
pearances they had lain i'or some
years.
Mrs. Geringer was assisted by a lit
tle girl named Elmira Seitz, a daugh
ter of Lewis Seitz, who resides near
bv. The woman stepped into the
house to atteud to some affairs while
the little gitl continued at the work
alone. In pulling out some of the
cans Elmira came across one that seem
ed unaccountably heavy. She pro
coded to investigate and found it fill
cd with something,the contents what
ever they were being neatly covered
with a cloth.
She cautiously removed the covering
and to her surprise found that the can
was fi 11< d with money.all silver,most
ly dollars and half dollars. She called
for Mrs. Geringer and her excited
tones brought a quick response. The
money was poured out of the can and
counted; it was found to amount to
nearly sixty dollars.Subsequent to the
death of Mis. Anklin two other fam
ilies occupied the premises, but the
inference seemed to be that the money
belonged to the Anklin family and
Mrs. Geringer hastened to Joseph
Anklin, the surviving husband, and
made him acquainted with the fact of
the discovery.
The supposition is that the money
was secreted under the kitchen by the
deceased Mrs. Ankliu. Mr. Anklin
rewarded the Mrs. Geringer.
Libel on Royal Arcanum.
A circular relating to a book entitl
ed,"The Devil in the Church" states
that the book lias been endorsed by the
Royal Arcanum. This is a libel ou the
order. No such endorsement of any
book relating to sectarian or religious
m itters hits ever been authorized by
the Royal Arcanum, or any one em
powered to speak for the order. The
Royal Arcanum does not be lieve in
applying religious tests to members,
or in bringing sectarian matters into
its business. The only religions test
it acquires is that an applicant shall
believe in a Supremo Being. The
difficulty about such libels is that the
circulars are issued without the name
of any responsible party or firm or
publisher who could be held to ac
count for the circulation of the libel.
Nervous Headache Breeds Insanity.
Many a person's whole pleasure in
life i- ruined by the fear of nervous
headaches. Any little excitement, no
matter what, business or social,brings
them on. The feet and hands grow
cold, the head is hot, the eyes stiff,
the temples throb, and only in the
quiet of a darkened room is relief ob
tained. This condition must be check
ed or it means complete mental ruin.
To those people Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills come as a blessiug. They
do not stop, they cure the headaches.
Thev do not blanket, they build up.
They put the nervous system in a
strong, vigoious, sturdy condition—a
condition that gives ouesesistive pow
er and enables them to again enjoy
life's pleasures.
Mrs. Jacob Mills of cor. Front &
Church Sts., Danville, Pa., says:—
"Last fall I was feeling very badly run
down and nervous. 1 had frequent
spells of nervous headaches and a good
deal of trouble with my stomach
Seeing Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills
recommended I got a box at Gosh »
Drug Store and used them with tin
best results. 1 rested well again anc
feel strong and bright—the digestion
is good and the headaches a thing of
tliep ast. They certainly did me good
and I can highly leconnnend them."

In a Peculiar Situation.
The resignations of the members of
■ lie official board of the Mulberry
Street M. E. church have been handed
to the Rev. W. A. Houek, but he is
not the person, he says, to act upon
them.
"That is a matter for the Quarterly
Confer* nee, and, as the official board
of a Methodist church constitutes tho
Quarterly Conference, with the Presid
ing Elder serving in tho capacity of
chairman, the genth men desiring to
I.H relieved from their official duties
in thi- instance will be under the
necessity of moving and acting upon
their own resignations. "
As nineteen of the twenty-one com
prising the board have taken steps in
that direction, the result will.evident
ly, be pretty nearly unanimous.—

fore.
Under the old law, simply the
names of tine parties were mentioned
in the marriage license. The license
formerly read as follows;
"To any minister of the gospel,
justice of the peace or other officer or
person authorized by law to solemnize
marriage:
"You are hereby authorized to join
together in the holy state of matri
mony, according to the rite- and cere
monies of your church, society or re
ligious denomination, and the laws of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
A. B. and C. D.
"Given under my hand And seal of
the Orphans' Court of said County of ,at
,at , this day of ,
Anno Domini one thousand nine
hundred and . , Clerk."
Under the new law, if the parties
are of full age and were m v> r married
before the fact must he mentioned bv
writing on the license after the name
A B——the words,"of full ag< and
never heretofore married."
But if either of the parties i- not 21
years of age, his or her ago must be
stated and tho fact of consent of par
ents or guardians must likewi-e be
stated, after the names; and if either
of the parties shall have been married
previously, then in lieu of tho word
"never previously married," the num
ber of times ho or she shall have been
previously married and the mode by
which the prior marriages were dis
solved shall bo stated, and, if by di
vorce, the cause for which the divorce
was granted shall be stated.
By the old law all of these facts
except the cause of divorce, mast be
mentioned in tho application for a
license, bur the new law requires the
facts to be written in the license it
self. The ministers can thus set; how
often a bride or groom was married
before and also the cause of the divorce,
if there was any. The old law did not
require the cause for divorce to he
written even in the applica'iou, but
simply the date of divorce.
The blanks under the new law are
now being printed and as soon as they
are received in the register's office the
license will be granted according to
the new method of inquisition.
Help the Letter Carrier.
If the patrons of free delivery in
this city would consider how long it
takes the carrier to ring each door bell
where there is no siot or letter box at
the front door, they would pur up
something to receive their mail. A
carrier who has three or four hundred
persons to deliver mail to, and has to
ring the door bell at one-half of them
must, of course, consume a good deal
of time, and it is sometimes very hard
to make the required deliveries in the
time alloted.
The Postoffiee Department is pre
paring a book to be issued to persons
doing business with the postoffiee
throughout tho country. It is to be a
sort of manual,calling their attention
fo matters which are not generally
understood about the postoffiee busi
uess. One of the subjects treated will
be torn stamps, on which, the post
office officials say, the ignorance of
the public is almost universal. A torn
stamp cannot bo used, under the rules
of the Department, and yet thousands
of people are in the habit, when a
stamp has been accidentally torn, of
pasting it together and putting it on
an envelope. Envelopes so stumped are
not permitted to he delivered, under
the postal regulations. Sometimes the
torn stamp is pasted together so well
that the tear is not detected, and tho
letter is delivered. But where the
tear in the stamp is discovered the
sender runs the risk of losing his let
ter. Tho new stamped envelope is
ready now and is being distribute! to
tho postotlices. There are four de
nominations, 1 cent, 2 cents. 1 cents
and 5 cents.
For liver troubles and constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Early Risers, the famous
little pills
They always effect a cure and save
doctor bills
Little Early Risers are different from
all other pills. They do not weaken
the system, but act as a tonic to the
tis-ues by arousing the secretions and
restoring the liver to the full perfor
mance of its function- naturally.
