OLD TIMERS AT SUNBURY The Old Timers were defeated at Sunbury Tuesday afternoon in one of the best played games that was over witnessed at that place. Sunbury has a first class team and the Old Timers found a foe worthy of their steel. The team is nearly wholly made up of college players,there being bnt two Suubury men in the aggrega tion. State College is mostly repre sented among the players. The game began promptly at 3 p. m. with Danville at the bat, the Old Timers making three hits hut being unable to score. Sunbury made seven hits and Danvill) six. The hits wore not numerous but they were hard and clean. The pitching bv McCloud and Steele was of the gilt edged order. The throwing of Shaeffer of Sunbury from left field and of Reilly of Dan ville from right field was accurate, each fielder catching a man at the plate from his respective position, it was indeed a good all around game, the hot weather seeming to have the effect of putting the Old Timers on their mettle. The umpiring of Dr. Oressinger was perfectly satisfactory and above the average on an amateur diamond. The line up: DANVILLE. R. 11. O. A. E.

In order that Danville may not be dull on Fourth of July Dr. DeWitt has decided to throw his park open on that day and will present a series of interesting attractions. The pavilion will be run all day with the best of music obtainable. There will be baseball and other sports,dur ing the morning and afternoon, the whole to wind up with a grand dis play of fireworks at night. The base ball will be an especially interesting feature. During the fore noon there will a game between two teams made up of old time players of South Danville and Riverside who used to delight the crowds fifteen or twenty years ago. They expect to dem onstrate the fact that base ball once acquired is never forgotten by playing a game which will surprise the young er generation. Daring the afternoon there will bo a game between a team of this city and one from a neighbor ing towu. The park will be free and the people of Riverside and Danville ate invited to spend the entire day there Bucknell Girls' Initiation, The Milton Standard of Monday said: "A crowd of Milton people pic nicking at Wolfes Grove were subject ed to a shock on Saturday they will not soon forget. The shock was caus ed by the initiation ceremonies inflict ed upon a group of Bucknell girls by the members of a ladies' society of that intitution. As college barbarism is not appreciated by the average lay mind, the abuse of the yoong lade - aroused an intense sympathy which nearly led to interference. The young ladies, blind-folded were driven into the woods where briars,thorns and un derbrush abounded. They were struck with paddles until from sheer pain and exhaustion they sunk to the groond, after which they were rolled down a hill in constant danger of landing against a tree. These were only a few of the , indignities which those initiated had to endure,and fre quently the cries of the younz ladies were piteoos. The whole affair simply shows to what extremes persons are willing togo to be 'in it.' " Mrs. Derr 111. Mrs. C. W.

THE PROPOSED RIVER BRIDGE The plans and specifications for the uew highway bridge over the Susque hanna river between Danville and South Danville have arrived at the oftico of the County Commissioners. It is claimed that the proposed bridge will be the finest yet erected by the State. Whether this is exactly the casa or not may be open to some ques tion. A glance over the blue prints, however, is sufficient to show that the proposed structure takes precedence over anything that spans the river in this section. The bids will be opened on July ">th. The instructions set forth that each bidder shall name the time in which he will complete the entire work, as time will be an essential consideration of the contract. The general description shows the proposed bridge toconsistof seven pin i constructed steel truss spans, one hun j dred and eighty-six feet, nine inches i center to center of pins, twenty-six feet center to center of trusses and forty feet center to center of railings to be carried on two abutments and six piers. The total length of the bridge is to bo thirteen hundred and thirty-eight feet, nine inches face to face of back walls or abutments. The specifications show that pier I No. J, known as the "new" pier,will !be used in rebuilding the sub struc : ture. The coping on this pier will be removed and new masonry built to a higher level. The joints in this pier are to bo repointed if required by eu- I . gineer. The cut-water nose of the piers is to j be protected by a steel angle eight inches by eight inches, by five-eighth I inch thoroughly bolted to each course. ' All the coping shall be hammer dress ed on top and bottom and finished with one inch draft at all corners and joints. The mortar used shall consist, of Portland cement and sand in the proportion of one part cement mea sured in the original packages and two parts of sand by voluma. The roadway is to be paved with four inch creo-resinate wood blocks on a concrete base with three-quarter inch sand cushion. Joints to be run full with Portland cement grout INVESTIGATE THIS.

Many incidents have been related of curious happenings in which the spring flood was an active factor, hut that told by O. S. Korstetter. of Nan ticoke.is one of the most remarkable of them all. Last fall when lie completed his work on the flats a plow was by oversight left in one of the fields and was submerged when the water cover ed that portion of his farm. When the water receded the plow was minus one handle and the cross piece. This summer a brother, Edwin Kerstetter, who had been employed on the Nan ticoke farm, went to another farm owned by (). S Kerstetter and situat ed near the river at Georgetown, seventy-three miles from the first farm. There in a culvert leading to the river lie found the missing plow handle and cross piece. Joint Meeting of Commissioners. A joint meeting of the Montour and Northumberland County Commission ers was held in this city oil Saturday. Messrs. Coouer.liaudeuhush and Beck of Northumberland county were pre sent along with the full board of Montour—Cooper, Cook and Leighow. The business before the two boards related solely to joint county bridges. One of the propositions was a new bridge over Beaver linn in Limestone township, which was ordered built. At the bridge over the Chillisquaque in Liberty township new abutments are needed, which were ordered re built. The two remaining spans of the riv er bridge were considered at some length, hut no definite action was tak en. The probability seems to be that the remaining -pans will fall into the hands of the contractor who build the bridge. Death of J. S. Blue. J. S.

LIEUTENANT BOW ERS FAREWELL The " Leavenworth Tunes" of Thurs day, .Tune Kith, contains an affecting recital relating to the departure of Lieutenant Mower's renia ins for the East. where lie was to lie laid to rest in the home of his childhood. Believ ing that it will be of int-rest to every person the article is reproduced in these columns. It reads as follows: An immense throng including all the officers of the Post, many lalies, the Engineer battalion and a large num ber of enliste 1 men from oilier organ izations, accompanied the remains of Lieutenant Nathaniel E. Bower, from the hospital to the Missouri Paoifio depot yesterday morning. The funeral cortege left the Post hospital at 10:15 o'clock in the following order: Sixth infantry band,mounted escort, Chaplain Randolph, caisson bearing remains, carriages baring mourners, First battalion of engineers, officers of the Post and other vehicles. At the hospital the remains were viewed for the last time by the many t riends. At the depct a short service was held and a trumpeter sounded "taps" over the casket. As the chaplain read the solemn words of the service there was searcely a dry eve in the great throng, showing the tender affection in which Lieutenant Bower was held by all who knjw him. Chaplain Ran dolph's voice was choked with emo tion as he sought to pay a tribute to his friend. He said : "I do.ire to take advantage of this occasion to coinmt nd to the considera tion of all the manly Christian char acter of him whose loss we mourn. His life was a proof of the falsity of the statement that a man cannot be a Christian and a soldier. As a young man said to me yesterday: 'lf there was a Christian, Bower was one. 1 This statement no one who knew him will deny. We can as truthfully say, 'lf we had a soldier in our army. Bower was ono.' What he was as a man and a soldier you all know. We stand with horror at his sudden taking off. We look down at his pale lace and sight less eyes and think what an awful thing is death, but will yon permit me to say what you all know, that life is a thing more terrible. To the dead there is no more responsibility, no more striving, but p> aco—sleep rest. To those who live, remains tha struggle, the continuance of the fight. "If the noble example of our de parted brother gives us a higher ideal, and an inspiration to strive for better things his life was not in vain; and if his sudden death brings to our minds with strongest emphasis the things that mean most in real manhood, who can sav it was not for the best. God knows." The funeral cortege passed through the Post headed by the Sixth infantry band playing funeral marches. The sidewalks at jdaces were crowded as 11ic procession passed. A separate vehicle was required to carry the beautiful floral offerings. The 1901 class of West Point, of which Lieu tenant Bower was a graduate, sent a beautiful bouquet of roses which was eight feet long and covered the entire coffin. The officers of the First bat talion of engineers sent an enormous spray of roses representing a pillow. Each company of the Engineer corps donated a spray of flowers represent ing a castle with the letter of the different organizations above it. Col onel .I. Van K. Iloff also sent a beaut: - fill spray of rosrs. Numerous other offerings were sent. The body was shipped toMoon shnrg Pennsylvania Lieutenant Hannum of the Engineer corps, who was with Lieut. Bower when he was killed, ac companied the remains. Lieutenant Nathaniel E. Bower was a native ol Pennsylvania and was 25 years old. He was gradoat. d from the Military academy February isth. 1901, and assigned to the Artillery corps, but was transferred to the Engineer corps January isth. 11)02. In announc ing the death of Lieutenant Bower Colonel Duncan, post commander, stated : "By tin death of Lieutenant Bower this garrison loses one of its most genial and lovable members, and the corps of Engineers and the service at large, loses a most officii nt, painstak ing and brilliant officer."

VISITING SCENES OP THEIR MOOD The cut iu trans-Atlantic steamshpi rates lias caused a reat exodus of for eigners from every pait of tlie coal re gion. Many of those who left will never return, hut quite a largo number have I merely taken advantage of the low fare J to visit the scenes of (heir childhood ! and bring across relatives or friends ■ who are anxious to settle iu the United j States. There are differential rates for east ward and westward voyages. The ! Anchor line, State line and American j hue have taken the lead in announc ing h rate of $12.50 for the westward ! voyage, while the White Star line offers tickets tor the same voyage for sl4. The Canard Company still holds on to the old figure of S"2B, notwithstand ing the telegraphic dispatch that a re duction would he made to SB. 10. The Hamburg and other lines have a s!•> rate for the eastward journey, i The rate of $27 to Italy is still main | tained, and it is doubtful whether , many Italians will avail themselves of I the reduced rates to England, as the cost of the overland route would more than balance the money saved by the reduced ocean rate. Twenty dollars from New York to Hamburg is the rate now offered steerage passengers from this region. This low rate is good only on the Hamburg-American boats which sail on Saturdays. For many years there has been an agreement between the various steam ship companies appertaining to the conduct of their business and this agreement was participated in by all the leadiug concerns. A abort time since the Cunard line,an English line, withdrew from the agreement for some reason. The Ounard line has formed a con tract with the Hungarian government by which upon certain considerations that line is given the privilege and has already erected docks at Trieste, Austria and Hungary. By this means the Hungarian government ob tains a large revenue from those of its residouts who desire to emigrate to America by means of embarking at these points. When the agreement be tween the companies was dissolved by the withdrawal of the Cunard line the other companies resolved to make a bid for the sale of passage tickets to j the people of that country and inci ] dentally to cut the rates elsewhere. I The Cunard rate from Ti ieste and Kiuue is $:i7.50. By this reduction it j is thought that the immigrants from l Austria-Hungary will take the over ! land route to Hamburg and embark at | that point. The rates to and from the British Isles have also been greatly reduced. ' The rate from Glasgow is now only $12.75. From Liverpool the rate is £l4, while previous to the agreement it was fixed at It must be under stood, however, that these are stor age rates and that no reduotion has yet been made to the cabin passengers of either class, although if the rate war continues long it may ef fect these also.

H. & W. division near Blue Hill shortly after midnight Sunday morning Three west-bound freight, trains, it appears, wt re passing down over the division The fiist one stopped to take water at South Danville, the rear end of the train extending nearly as far as Blue Hill. The usual precautious were taken to prevent a rear end col lision. The engineer gave the signal for starting and the flagman was call ed in. The train, however, had no more than got started, when the second freight drawn by engine No. Hill came rolling around the curve. The flag man bad just left his post and with out any warning of danger the second train kept on with undiminished speed and crashed into the rear end of the first train, which had not got under anything like full headway. The train struck had two cabooses attached, the noxt car being one load ed with slate. The crash was a terrif ic one and so sudden as to leave the trainmen but a mere moment of time iu which to save their lives. They all jumped, however, and were fortunate enough to escape the mixup, although a couple were thrown down over the river bank and got. a serious tumble. As engine No. lt!41 struck the freight it ploughed in under the two caboases and threw them up ou top of the uext car loaded with slate, which iu turn the locomotive; demolished. By this time there was a big pile of wreckage on the spot with engine No. 1641 smash ed and battered, lying under the mix up. In a few moments time the wholo mass took fire and from that hour un til nearly morning the entire locality around Blue Hill including the river nearly i>s far as this city was illumin ated by an immense bou tire. The cars belonging to the train whose engine was wrecked were pulled hack to Cata wissa by the engine ot the third train, which was following on closely behind. When morning dawned the wreck was nearly all eaten up by fire, about all that remained being the locomo tive. w licli presented a dismantled ap pearance. its cabin and other wood work being entirely consumed, in ad dition to which it had lost its pilot and smoke stack in the collision. The locomotive, however, was still on the rails and was easily moved. During the forenoon it was towed to Sunbury. The track was open for traffic by 1) a. m.

CONTRACT AWARDED CONDITIONALLY At a meeting of the County Commis sioners Saturday the contract for build ing the road between this city and Mausdale under the Act of April 15, 1903, was awarded conditionally. Mr. Cook moved that the contract for constructing the State road from the northern Borough lino to the Val ley township lino be awarded to the Maryland Construction Company as the lowest bidder, provided the Sup ervisors of Mahoning township give their consent. Mr. Cooper seconded the motion and it carried unanimous ly. The Maryland Construction Com pany agrees to build the road for $676(5. 15. It is now up to the Supervisors of Mahoning township,Edwaid L. White and George Heckendorn. As explain ed in a recent issue by building the road under the new act the township will incur an outlay of a little over one thousand dollars. At the same time it has one of the worst and most expensive stretches of road in the county ou its hands, which is in need of extensive repairs, and it depends altogether upon how the Supervisors look at the matter in deciding whether they will accept State aid or endeavor to carry the burden along themselves as in the past.

Montour County contains 140 squire miles and a population of about 17,. 000. Northumberland County con tains 4ti2 square miles and a population of ovttr 90,000. The North Branch of the Susque hanna divides each one of the three counties, and makes practically an equal division of territory—one North and the other South of the river—thus giving the people of the respective territory aocess to their county seat. Bloomshnrg, for the north and Sunbury tor the south, without beintf impeded by the river,but leaving each portion ail the access to the river which it now has. It would give to each Columbia and Northumberland 510 square miles. It is true, Montour would be restored to Columbia whero she belongs; and that a portion of Northumberland which was originally part of Colum bia. A mere glance at the map shows that it is an improvement every way, over the now territorial arrangement. Bloouisburg would be near the center of the proposed new county, and ac cessible by rail or trolley to all its in habitants. As for Sunbury, it always was at one side and would remain so. It. is possible there might lie a little constitutional difficulty, but "what is constitution between friends" The proposed re-adjustment would disturb no industry, but would facili tate and increase business intercourse would break up no political ties or arrangements, for we are n<>w and would be then subtsantially at one in party alignments.—Bloomsburg Daily Wort of all Experiences.

Be Happy. It's just as easy to be uniformly hap py as otherwise. Happiness is the highest development of contentment, and its palpable evidence, and con tentment is so near akin to selfishness that there is no reason why everybody should not be happy. Try it. Think how many good rea sons you have for being happy—rea sons that do not Involve anything ex traordinary. Begin by thinking how much better tliau your neighbors you are and how iniinitely superior to the follows that backbite you. Think how much you would be admired if all people knew you as well as you know yourself and bow surely and swiftly you would succeed in your chosen pro fession if your self-confessed abilities were generally known. All ot this is good reason for happiness although such is the perverseness of human na ture that it frequently creates pessi mism. Think haw much worse everything might be. You aten't rich but you have enough ; you are not well but you are still alive. Maybe you can't goto the fair, but it won't cost you more tliau usual to stay home. You cauuot have everything you waut but you want everything you have. That note falling due tomorrow is a disturber but supposo if were two notes! Besides happiness is more enjoyable than its antithesis and when the choice of feelings or emotions is yours why not choose the best? Happiness makes the soul i;lad and the face shine It wius friends while gloom repels them. Be happy. But— Don't get gay. A Strong Heart is assuied by prefect digestion.
