Herrington having recently tendered bis resigna tion. Second Lieutenant W ,112. Keim resigned several months ago. Two elections were held for the purpose of choosing a successor but on neither oc casion did the members agree upon a man. An order will shortly be issued to fill both vacancies. Drill will be held on Tuesday evening, when the matter ot candidates will be talked over. For that reason if for no other a full at tendance is desired. The names of several ex-guardsmen are prominently spoken of in connection with the liea tenauoy of the Company. The season for rifle practice will expire on the 30th inst. There are still a few men of Company F who have not qualified and who will have to attend to that duty before the close of the month or stand the consequences. The members of the local company are elated over the result ot the an nual inspection held during encamp ment at Mt. Gretna la>t summer. The report,which ha- just appeared before the public, shows that the 12th regi ment stood fifth with only a difference of one-tenth per cent, between it and the 13th regiment. The 3rd Brigade as usual led the State. The local company stood its in per gonal apearance and 100 in books and papers. The other parr of the inspec tion was by regiment, ttie company uot flouring individually. The inspection officers of the differ ent brigades of the State declared that they found the National Guard very proficient and that it approached near er to army standards tliau anything they had seen. Acting Adjutant General Hall of the army in his annual report recommends that the Governors of the several states and territories which participate in the anuual allowance to the militia be empowered to use such portion of the allotment as may he necessary to pay the men for attending drill. That the drills are poorly attended, lie says, is evident when one visits the armories throughout the State. This is a condi tion which requires a speedy remedy. TliM 111 Mf 1 Will nfnKuhlu IIM ''»•«• cents per drill and be fined one dollar for each drill missed, unless a satis factory excuse be given. Under the statute, each man must attend twenty four drills per year. Having the high endorsement of the Adjutant General of the Army it looks an if something would be done in this matter. Another step in the movement for the betterment of the National Guard whch is pretty sure to result in something tangible is the plan to build Armories throughout the State. Plan* and specifications for the buildings are now being made which provide lor a rifle gallery of not less than 100 yards, a gymnasium, reading and smoking rooms, bath rooms, shower bath, &c. It seems probable, too, that in the near future the National Guard will De equipped with the new olive drab service uniforms. It has already been decided to equip the National Guard of New York with this uniform and General Henry of that State will issue orders to that effect during the pres ent week.

STATES VALUABLE DMBT PRODUCTS lu a circular issued Saturday on the necessity for a strict enforcement of rlie oleo and renovated butter laws Fond Commissioner Warren says there are 32,i»00 farms in Pennsylvania which derive their principal income from the dairy. The latest figures obtainable show that the value <»f tho dairy products of Pennsylvania aro exceeded in value by hut one State in tho Union. Tho value of these proluctsaggregate $35,- 8(50,110. '•Ill woo.the State had 943,773 dairy cows," said Dr. Warren,and these pro duced 487,033,818 gallons ot milk 111 one year. The total number of farms in the State, as reported by the last census, is ,245. and the number re porting dairy products was 200,03t5, with a total valuation of 435,800,t>8ii. The butter made on 1511,857 of these farms aggregated 74,221,085 pounds, ot which amount 51,3011,83! pounds were sold by tint producers. "These figures at once reveal the somewhat startling evolution that lias been effected troni a simple and crude beginning, to the high standard ol dairying that pievails today through out the Stale. "The Dairy and Food Commission er of Pennsylvania is especially anx ious to foster this industry and pro tect consumers against tho sale of il legal dairy products Whether oleo margarine be sold without a license, or illegally colored; or if a dairyman sells preserved, watered or unwhole some milk, the offenders in all cases will be held to a strict accountability, when discovered by thu officers of the law " The oleomargarine and renovated butter acts legalize the sale of these commodities, but the Legislature has placed certain restrictions and condi tions on the statutes that must be ful ly observed by both manufacturers and dealers, as well as the proprietors of hotels and boarding houses and wherever oleomargarine and renovated butter may be sold or used. " Commissioner Warren is actively prosecuting sellers of adulterated liquors. Under his orders Agent James Foust, of the Pure Food Department Saturday began the prosecution of 5(H> hotel kepeers in Western Pennsylvania on the charge of adulterating liquor. He sued thirty-nine hotel keepers be fore Squire Gallagher of Osceola. Seven proprietors of saloons and ho tels in Reading were on Friday each fined SSO and costs by Magistrate Saudt, on the charge of selling adult erated blackberry brandy, thereby violating the pure food and drink laws. The prosecutions were brought by Robert Simmers,superintendent of the Eastern division ot Pennsylvania. He testified that samples procured at the various saloons were a compouud of coal tar, glucose, salicylic acid, log wood, etc., and that it contained no blackberry juice at all. The costs in each case amounted to from sl2 to $lB. NOT THE ONLY ONE There Are Hundreds of Danville People Similarly Situated.

Un fortunately it is one concerning whose early history hut little is known. Philip A Fou-it, yesterday stated that he purchased the plant fifty years ago and it was old even then. It is re membered hv old residents as far back as 1810 when it was owned by Hiatt Matchin. All agree that it is very old and that within its walls was probab ly brewed the first lager beer made in Danville. There is a tradition that at one time the site in part was occupied by a cooper shop. The brewery is a ramb ling old stiuctnre made up of several parts, one or more of which have been rebuilt within a few years past. Aroli itecturally at least the brewery has the appearance of dating a good way hack into the last century. Philip A. Foust purchased the brewery of Hiatt M iti bin in 18") 15 remaining in posses sion tor four years when he sold out to a tirin consisting of John Gerstuer, Michael Rosenstein and Joseph Popp. At that time ho says tho equipment of the brewery and the process of making beer was altogether different from the present time although the quality ot tho beverage was none tho worse for the primitive methods employed in its manufacture. Bausch & Fillingor were the next owners, who installed the large vault at South Danville. John Bausch was identified with tho brewery for thirty five years. The vault, which was an indispensable adjunct to tho brewery as the business grew, is no longer in use. Great progress has been made in tli' art of brewing as well as along other lines and the ice plant which now enters info tho equipment of every brewery has rendered the use ot a vault unnecessary. Mr. Bausch sold out to Mr. Steg niaier of Wilkesharro, but after a few vears he repurchased the plant, (leist er B , Couily W. and Curry W. Foust about seven years ago became owners of the hrewery.

Hie thirteenth annual coveiition ot the Montour County Sabbath School Association, held on Thursday and Friday of last week at St. Paul's M. E. church was a gioat success. It dem onstrated that much enthusiasm is still manifested in a noble woik. It was a gathering that alno indicated a unity ot purpose among the various Christian denominations in the mat ter of Sunday schools. The vitality of Sunday school work is one of the wonders ot the age and it is entirely attributable to the self sacrificing labors of tho thousands of t ■;»( hers sprea I throughout the length and breadth of this fair laud; and it any class of Christian workers should tie encouraged aurl sustained it is that of the Sunday school teacher. The Sunday schools are more than ever the stand-bys of the church, they form the nucleus from which is drawn all that I- strong and useful in church work. The amount of good that is a coniplished through these schools can scarcely bo measured, the litera ture that is created and distributed is simply enormous, so that it is impos sible to estimate the vast amount of good tli »t is heirig disseminated every year. A h iv or girl who has been careful ly trained in the Sunday school and has by loving hands and tender care reared in the atmosphere and kept in tho ranks un'il they reach the age of ■il can always T»o counted upon as use ful memlxrs of society,to say nothing of their services in tho church itself. Our day schools are secular in many respects and in spite of the danger of sectarianism one almost wishes that Christian training on the lines of the Sunday schools could be introduced. We unfortunately know that to be al most an impossibility in a land con stituted as ours is, but, nevertheless, that fact should cause every man and woman to rejoice that so many Sunday schools are available for the hoys and girls of the land without money and without price. Tim hundred and oue temptations .unl opportunities afforded to our peo ple, young and old, to turn the Sab bath day into a day of travel and plea sure instead ot into one of rest and tranquility >md for the study of less worldly things than on other days, makes Sunday schools more of a neces sity than ever, ami CUIIH for a higher grade of teacher and for the need of tar more preparation tor Sunday school teaching and exposition than in the past. It is gratifying to know that these new conditions are being met, that the churches are making their ■Sunday schools more inviting than i vi r, and th>' late convention demon strates that enthusiasm for tin- work is -till strong and tie workers confident.

At I0::;t> the county officers pre-ent ed their leports and after some vol untary addre-ses several important questions relating to Sun lay School work were asked an 1 answered. Hugh Cork, State Secret iiy. was present dur ing the morning M -sion and by his practical suggestion.- relating to the matter in hand helped along the work of the Convention very much. The afternoon session was opened with praise service conducted by Rev. E. B. Dunn. At '2:15 Rev. Dr. Mc- Cormank spoke on the "Relation of ttie Sunday Scliooi to the Home. Ihe address covered the ground very I horoughly and einpli i-i/e 1 the follow ing points: Bible Preparation, punc tuality and regularity of attendance. The addte-s of Hugh Cork Friday afternoon hid as its subject, "Sug gestion- as to Sunday School Manage ment." The subject was treitei in Mr. Cork's intensely practical way,re flecting not only his interest, but also his ripe experience in Sunday school work. He warned t lie delegates against attempting to apply too readily what is new- as to method or management upou their return lrom the conven tion . rather should Sunday school workers appropriate and make food for thought and study anything new which they may have learned, permit ting it, if practical in its nature, to find an expression in a gradual im provement in teaching or management. What is now if not properly consider ed and adapted to a school is apt to breed confusion and defeat its obiect. The State Secretary also insisted up on the "right man in the right place. " If Sunday school work is as important as we hold it up to he. then exceed ingly great care should be exercised in selecting officers. That a man is a good man is not sufficient. lie most he the very best man in tho commun ity. In selecting a superintendent, for instance a man who is merely pious may be passed by, if there is another man in tho community who is just as devout and combines with it better tact and business qualities, which would quality him in a higher degree for looking after the interest of the Sunday School. The speaker held that there is room I for improvement in the matter ot keep- I ing records. There are few Sunday I schools where tlies' are by any means ' as full as they should be or where the ' propet care is taken to preserve them. The following ollieers were elected: | President, Itev A. \V. Bell; Vice Pres ident, Rev. (/. D. Lcrcli; Recording J Secretary, Professor J. M. Kelso; I'rea ! surer, Frank (r. Schoch ; Correspond i ing Secretary, I). H. Williams. The devotional exercises at the clos ing session were conducted by llev. i C 1). Lerch. Mr- K. S. Gearhart gave a talk on "Primary Work." Mrs. Gearhart is an interested and successful Sunday School worker and her views, the result of much study and experii nee , contained many use ful liin's, which will no doubt hear good fruit during the year to rone. Hugh Oork delivered a discourse. Mis subject was,"The Evange listic Phase of Sunday School Work." He urged the teachers tn look closely aftei the individual niembers ot the Sunday School class, permitting none to gn astray; to labor heroically to bold them an I to bring them to God.
