The stalwart Republican newspapers

timely shots at the opposition. Hero
are a few of the latest:

From this time forward, the political

This Holds Good In Every District.
With President Roosevelt In the

"Big Sticks" of This Campaign.

"Big Stick" campaign. The only big

Humor In tho Campaign.
"We have been wrong eight years,

FORCIBLE REPLY 10 I
IRUESOALE LETTER
[Continued from First Page.]
were only a contest between railway
compauies, the stand you take would
be more forcetnl; but the public is not
either of these compauies and iu the
choice of risks wishes the lessor. It
does not wish to avoid death at one a
place and be forced to find it in an- .
other.
Now as to the policy of preventing 1
the crossing at grade. the people may t
Justly complaiu. Because, eveu iu 8
most iecent years, this policy has not
been observed as to the operation of
the L &B.K. R. For at Northum- r
berland, Bloomsburg, Berwick, Ed- 1
wardsville and Scrantou grade cross- e
ings have been established. Many of
them, far more dangerous than Dan 1
ville.have reaped no harvest of deatl.. 1
I would also hero state that the cross- u
iug iu qoeHtiou is located iu the heart
of the town which compels every one
of your trains which pass over it to be
under complete control. In fact yon t
have only fourteen schedule trains in e
24 hours. Indeed trolley accidents at v
grade crossings seem to be the excep
tion. The common ordinary accidents s
occur from the passage of vehicles, e
tho motor car is not likely to add to t
the number. „
The reason that none have happened
on the L &B. is plain; the traffic is
light, the scheduled trains can be 1
avoided, —only the shifters and extra 112
freight being the ones probably to be
met. But the requirements of the or
dinauce granting the right of the trol- '
ley on the streets, order the trolley to a
be stopped and the motormau togo \
ahead. The street is level. But in addi
tiou.a watchman is always there. These
men may fail in duty and the inach- '
inery may fail. This assumption is not i
warranted, because all our affairs are v
conducted on the basis that men will
do their duty and machinery will fol- .
till its purpose and the large results of '
progress is full proof of the correct
ness of our assumptions.
It is true that some of our citizens
may in their zeal have bronght them
selves withiu the pale of prosecution.
But the risk whioh your Company s
took in sending its passenger trains (
over this objectionable frog at a high (
rate of speed which violated our Bor
ough ordinance and endangered the 1
lives of your passengers aud those '
dwelling at the crossing cannot be r
looked upon with favor. Two wrongs j
do not make one right. This is not. the
temper in which to consider the ques- <
tiou. *
I am of the opinion that if you could
fully comprehend the situation as it
really exists that you would see the
just cause of our claim. Public offic
ers as well as public corporations |
should manage their afTairs on the
principle of the greatest good for the c
greatest namber. Instead of opposing 1
the improvements to our town your j
Compauy should assist us iu making .
the improvements.
The canal which you recently pur
chased of the Pennsylvania R. R. Co. t
is a nuisance at the present time aud K
a disease breeder. I would also state j
that the preseut location of your depot
here is such as to make your passeng- 1
ers walk on your railway tracks to apt
proach it. This depot should be locat- (
ed on one of our thoroughfares. (
I believe that if yonr Company would
assist Danville in making tliqpe im- .
provements you would derive a benefit I
instead of a disadvantage iu the pres
ent controversy.
This communication was delayed ou
account of not getting in communica
tion with the balance of our commit
tee. {
Hoping that you may reconsider this t
matter favorably, and if necessary our
committee should be pleased to call on
you to more fully explain tho condi- '
tious as they really exist so that this t
controversy may be amicably settled,
I remain, Yours trulv. .

THE OLDEST
IN THE STATE
At the State Firemen's Convention i
at Erie last week, the Good Intent I
Fire Company of Sunbury was the I
oldest organization represented and
was awarded the honor of heading the
list in Pennsylvania. This is a great <
honor, as it would give that company i
the right of line in any parade held <
within the State of Pennsylvania. The J
compauy was organized in 18M and i
has been in operation ever since. The
old Friendship, of Philadelphia, was
an older organization,but had dropped
out last y» ar, leaving the Good Intent
at the top of the list.
Edward Gibson of Sunbury, a mem
ber of the Good Intent, is the oldest i
fireman In active service iu the State. ■
He joined that company iu 1859 aud is <
an aotiv.) member today. Two houors 1
were therefore conferred on Sunbury, 1
having the oldest company iu the State I
in service, and the oldest fireman in I
active service. <

RAIN HELD BACK
THE BIG FAIR
Many Dauville people yesterday were
disappointed when the rain prevented
them from attending the Bloomsburg
fair. If tho weather is fair today,how
ever, nearly all of this city 's populace
will move to "Bloom" temporarily,
and help swell the crowd, which should
bo a great ouo since the arrangements
for the fair have been made on a scale
to iusnre an exhibition worth going to
see. It has been decided to continue
the fair a dav and run yesterday's
races today, tho ones scheduled for
Thursday ou Friday and the ones list
ed for Friday ou Saturday, so that all
of the races will occur notwithstand
ing the fact that the rain made it
necessary to give them up yesterday.
Barring the weather, all conditions
are favorable for a first class fair, but
the rain yesterday certainly hail a bad
effect at the fair ground. The many
.visitors in Bloomsburg had to take
shelter in their hotels. At the fair ev
erything was nearly at a standstill and
those who were on the grounds kept
under cover. The forecast calls foi
fair weather today, so everyone is
hopeful that the big fair may be on iu
full swing this morning.
Bloomsburg's chief ot police,Wesley
Knorr, has nine a ; sislauts and they
are keeping good order. This little
word of advice is gi veu to Danville peo
ple, however: Remember that at Mil
ton the pickpockets were considerably
iu evideneo and take with you only
what mouey yon will absolutely need.

WOODS KILL BE
FULL (IF HUNTERS
The openiug of the hunting season
on Saturday will fill the woods here
abouts with eager sportsmen. .Judg
ing from the large Dumber purchasing
shells and supplies, the hunters will
be even more numerous than common.
As a rule the men with guns are more
in number than the game they pursue
on the first day of tho season and a
word of caution to exercise every care
to avoid accidents is not amiss.
A well-known local auttiority 011
sporting subjects yesterday stated that
the promise is good for bugging plenty
of gray squirrels and pheasants, but
quail are likely to be scarce, so many
of them having been found frozen un
der feuces and trees at tho opening of
last spring.
In the season lasting from October
15 to December 15 it is legal to kill
quail, woodcock, pheasants, (ruffled
grouse), prairie chicken, wild turkey,
partridge,squirrel,black,gray and fox.
ducks, rail and reed birds
still may be shot, the season having
opened September 1, and lasting to
May l.for the water fowl and to Nov
ember 30, for the birds.
Hunters should bear in mind tlie fol
lowing prohibitions or restrictions:
Killing beaver, Sunday huntiug,kill
ing deer in stream, pond or lake, kill
ing game for sale or exporting are all
contrary to law.
Only two deer may be shot by one
man in a season and no hunter is al
lowed to kill mote than 15 quail, two
turkeys, 10 pheasants or 10 woodcock
in one day. The deer season covers
only the month of November.

OPEN CRUSADE
Philadelphia and Heading Kailway J
officials have given orders for the (

and 111 this vicinity, where illegal car
riding is being done to an extent al
most unknown before. As high as
twenty-two men and hoys wore count- (
ed 011 one freight train yesterday,all of (
them stealing rides and at the same
time jeopardizing their lives.
Detectives Pursley and Simmers yes- (
terday took the initial move in the
stringent crusade mat is to be waged ,
against these law-breakers. They ar
rested the first three men they detect
ed, hut unless tiio dangerous work ,
ceases very suddenly these arrests will j
not ho tho last. The orders to the
detectives are to have a striot watch |
kept and arrests made daily until the ,
men and boys who persist in boarding
tho cars learn what serious conse- (
quences will attend the practice and
desist from it. Tho trainmen seem pow

Detweiler was also the host known
Elk in the fraternity, and had tiavel
j ed the country over 111 its interest.
His death was deplored from Maino

Saturday, October 15th, will bo the

They Strangely Disappear.
"It's a most peculiar fact," said a

t the number of rabbits one sees at this

noticed any number of rabbits, hut as
tho opening of the rabbit season ap
proached seldom,if ever,did I see one.
They seem to know."
The foregoing but corroborates fre

and game birds seem to have of the
approach of the season wlru their
lives are in jeopardy.

Concerning the Boiler Cleaning.
The last published report of tho

as tho cost of boiler cleaning at the

"There's a lot of fine women folks
dat comes to church to see every hat
in de congregation—every hat but one

der yo' noses for help in his cause and
to save yo' own black souls." We sup
pose many white preachers have the
same cause for complaint.

tion among the members of the Mac

bees is one of the strongest life insur

a large local membership. The raise
