Kulp and his co-workers in the Sh amok in and Edgewood Electric Rail way Co., ate about to build a trolley line from here to Sunbury, were in town yesterday looking over the field. From present indications active wotk will soon be begun on the link which will mean much for both tlx metropolis and coanty-seat of North umberland. Messrs. Eulings and Twigley arrived «t 5:00 yesterday morning, and after a trip to Edgewood Park drove to Son bury over the proposed route with Mr. Kulp. There is soon to be built a trolley line which with two short connections already projected, will enable a pas senger to travel from Forest City to Philadelphia by trolley and third rail, a distance of more than 200 miles. Application has been made for s charter for a trolley line by the Tam aqua Traction Company, to run be tween Tamaqua and Mahanoy City, which will then complete a line be tween Sharaokiu and Philadelphia, with the exception of a short distance between Slatington and Lehighton, which, it is expected, will be built as soon as the Tamaqua-Mahanoy Citf line is completed. It is then expected that the Lehigh Traction Company will extend its line from MoAdoo to Delano,thus complet ing the electric link between Forest Citv and Philadelphia, via Maucl; Chunk.—Shamokin Daily Herald. Head Not Indentified. Although the missing head of the body of the man maraered near Hick ory Ridge has been foand it has nol bfen identified and the mystery and horrbile murder is as far from being solved as ever. All day Wednesday hundreds of people viewed the head, bat not out could be found who re cognized who the man was The head is in a good state of preservation due to its being wrapped in the man's clothing an 1 it will be kept several days before being buried in an effort to learn who the ami was who met such a terrible death. Spurred on by the reward offered by the Northumberland County Oommin sioners and the finding of the head, officers are searching the woods iu the locality where the head aud body were found in order to find some clue whicl: will eventually lead to the arrest and oonviction of the guilty p*rty or part ies. When the report was circulated that the head was that of an Italian many Italians went to the undertaking est ablishment and looked at the man's head, but none were found who could identify the murdered mau. Jamef Christiano, the intelligent leader ol the Italians in Northumberland coun ty, after viewing the head stated that in his opinion he was firm iu the be lief that the man was not an Italian and that he was not a foreiguer. The report circulated and published in the city papers that the man had been identified and that a number of arrests had been made is untrue in every particular. A story was circulated Wednesday afternoon that the murdered man was the victim of an Italian secret society and that although recognized by sever al of his fellow country men they did not dare, under penalty of death, re veal his identity. This story is not generally believed aud is denied in strong terms by the members of the Italian colony An Important Sale. Charles A. Oolick, executor of the estate of the late Charles Haugha wout, of South Danville,has advertis ed the Hatighawout farm for eale on December 20th. The farm is located at Kipp's Run, Northumberland county, and contains 125 acres. Eight lota located in tt)6 borough of Riverside are also to be sold as well as three shares of Peo ple's Bank stock with a par value of 1100 each. The sale will be held at the Kipp's Run farm. Christmas Program. The churches are already preparing for Christmas programs and in about every Sunday School committees have been appointed and in some parts have now neon assigned. On account of Christmas falling npon Sunday the time for the presentation of the pro grams by the various churches will in clude three nights, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Several of the churches will Lave their program* Friday even ing PHYSIGIAL EXERCISE AS A TONIC The value of phvsical exercise lias long ago been recognized by thought ful men and women, aud today, more than at any previous time, physician* aud others, who are carefully study ing the needs of men, are everywhere advocating the necessity of propei physical traiuing for the betterment of humanity. For a number of years the le.tding magazines aud newspapers have boec printing numerous advertisements,set ting forth systems of exercise, where by old and young, fat and lean, tal and short; In fact, anybody, by a few minutes exercise in the morning 01 evening, taken aocordiug to directioni of the parties who advertise the «ys tem (costing auwyhere from $5.00 t( #IO.OO for a oonrse of lessons) would make most rapid progress in the mat ter of physical health and strength. Doubtless many of these "get strong qniob" methods are all right, anc : there are those who are stronger am in better health for having conscien tiously applied themselves to the ex ercise for a oertain time each day; bu there are thousands of men, who paic their inouey, received the apparatus and instructions adjusted everythini | for business and then failed to ex ' eroise.and now the whole outfit adorui j their bed room door, or some oth er place in the house, and is a silen 1 rominder of what they ought to do,- but which they do not do. It is strange, too, that men will pai a good price'for an "exerciser" a "pal j ley weight" or a "lung-tester," and then let it stand around as an "orna ment," when they can have the privi lege of enjoying systematic body-bui'd ing exorcise, under the direction ot 8 man who knows just what is best for eacli individual who comes under hif teaching,and who studies each subject with reference to weak points,so as t( give intelligent all-arouud instruction. Add to this the advantage of an invig orating tub or shower bath, after au exhilirating hour in a class with H dozen other ineu, aud all for |5.00 a year,—about 2 cents a day,—and you get the difference between monotonous exercise at home in a room alone, and real body-building work in company with other enthusiastic man in an up to-date, well equipped gymnasium such as we have in our town, undei the auspices of the Y. M. C. A There are now two classes, compos ed of business men. who are ready an I willing to speak in the highest terms of the value of this work. The Y. M. (J. A. Gymnasium is equipped for business, with a first class physical instructor, and should b'3 supported by many more of our citizens, who desire to exercise for bettoci health and strength. A visit to the Association aud a talk with Mr. Carpenter, the physical dir ector, will convince any one that the exercises prescribed will be highly benefioial in every way. There are al so ladies' classes. To those who are interested, a cordial invitation is ex j tended to visit and inspect the gym nasium of the Y. M. O. A. Come in any time. THE TRUE TEST. Tried in Danville, it Haa Stood the Test The hardest te-*t is the test of time, and Doau's Kidney Pills have stood ii well in Danville. Kiduey suffereri can hardly an* for stronger proof that the following: Levi Alleger, baker, of 103 Nortl Spruce street, t-avs : "I found more relief from the use of Doan's Kidney Pills tiiau from anything 1 ever used for kidney trouble. About eight yean ago 1 had considerable lameness in mj back, over the hips aud a continual aching rigli over the kidneys. These pains clung to me and increased in severity if I stooped or lifted. Oc casionally sharp pains would pase through me and shoot up between inj shoulders, along uiy spine. All thu cau*ed me considerable suffering and unfitted me for work. I could not sleep well at night, and in the morn ing would arise tired and unrefreshed. I read about Doau's Kiduey Pills cur ing others and got a box. After taking them as directed I felt better and con tiuued the treatment until 1 felt all right. I made a statement in 1896, in which I said that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured me. I can only reiterate that statement at this time. I alwayt keep Doan's Kidney Pills in the house,and whenever a cold or a strain brings on a tired or weak back they never fail to remove the trouble."

In one of the best and most excitiug games of banket ball played on the Armory floor this season Danville was defeated Tuesday by the Mt. Carmel team by the sjore of 29-27. Both teams played excellent ball, and so evenly were they matched that, it was uot until the final whistle blew that the outcome could be even guess ed. In the first half the scora swung first one way, and then the other, and eudtd with the Danville team in the lead by two points. In the second half the play was very fast and the excitement was iutense. The visitors forged ahead toward the eDd of the game,winning by one goal Barber for Danville, played a fine game shooting a number of very diffi cult baskets, Tye did most of the goal throwing for the visitors.

'liN HEAD OS FREIGHT CAE | The (Jf.irj body of it man was found I lying on the top of a hou-e our. Wed nesday morning, when an early north bound Philadelphia & Reading freight train arrived at Catawissa. The hear and face of the unfortunate man beinf covered with blood, presented a grue some sight Member* of the crow having cbargt ot the train recognized the dead mar as John Herriug, of Heading. Hit hrotlier, Newton Herring and anothei man, also of Reading, were riding it the caboose of the same train. Under taker Berniuger was given charge o the remains, and the matrer placed ir the hands of the Coroner, Dr. B. F Sharpless, for the parposT of an in vestigation. It developed tliat tin de ceased,his brother and the other man, who proofed to he their cousin, won on their way to this city when dearl overtook the former. Strange to cay after the discovery of the body of tin dead relative, Newton Herring and hi cousin continued their journey on tin same traiu to this oity, where it i said, they have relatives. On learning that fact the Coroue immediately sent a message to tin place requesting the two men to retun to Catawissa, so he ooald examini them as witnesses. They complie< with the request, leaving here on tin 11:23 P. &R. train Upon reachini Catawissa they at once proceeded t< the office of Dr. Sharpless, where thej explained their strange conduct bj saying that they were greatly affecter at what had occurred and were hardlj responsible for their actions. They confirmed the story of the rail j road men, relative to the dead man'i , name and place of residence. He had | been employed in the Tube Woiks a Reading. His age was between .'5 > and 35 years, and he is survived by a wif< and one child. The three men wort enroufco to this city with the hope o obtaining employment in the Reading Iron Works. The indications are that Herring met his death by being struck by the rool of the Shumantown tunnel, about I miles from Mainville, while standing on the roof of the car unconscious ii the darkness of his near approach tr the tunuel. One side of his head was badly lace rated and his skull fractured, the lat ter injniy having caused de:»th. Tin remains were shipped to Reading tliii morning. A Present Day School Evil. Is it'about to be scientifically piov en that our pet theories of educatioi and the plan of crowding young braim with a vast assortment of facts am theories, which, it is argued, will re cur to the person in 1 iter years wbili now serving to develop and set in mo tion the machinery of thought, is al wrong and positively injurious? A distinguished London physiciai whose special work briugs him ii close touch with the primary grade of King Edward's schools, has sound ed a note of warning as to the harm fulness and inefficiency of our presen popular mode of education. In an address before the child hoot society of London la«t week. Dr. T B. Hyslop. senior physician to tin Bethlehem Rival hospital and of Kiii| Edward's schools, declared fiat thi present age is characterize 1 by i "diminution of intellectual vigor,' and also that it is an era of increaset capacity for thought." The doctor deplored (his idea a great length and declare! that the in crea-e of insanity among civilized peo pi 3 should causa more careful ant scientific inquiry in our methods o mental and physical training. It is a difficult question to determiui by just how much the possession o barren 112a n ta and unrelated ideas cat stimulate and produce that other ac of the human brain, called origina thought. Dr. Hyslop asserts that tin loading up process is not conductv< to continuity of thought, but, on thi other hand, is closely relatt d to at easy parsing into the various states ol insanity. The learned gentleman firmlv be lieves that the great fault of the ed ucational age is forcing,that too earlj and too severe a tax is put upon the mental faculties. There is no questioi that some form of mental traiuinj should begin with the first develop ment of reason, but there is consider able room for doubt as to whether tht intellectual coaching of the chile should not be determined bv its in dividual awakening and appetite foi knowledge. What the Atlauta Constitution re gards as a rather severe, hut probably true accusation made by Dr. Hyslop,ii that the normal mental state of tin majority of people inhabiting the civi lized countries of the globe, is one ol diffuse consciousness. None there art who could travel far without theii vade mecum in the shape of books ol reference. Even those whose memoriei are sometimes proven the most reteu tive for facts of varied sort,are not al ways the clearest thinkers nor the most profound logicians. The real secret of education, reduc ed to its last analysis,in the great facl of arousing inter sr. As long as the brain can follow connectedly one lint of thought, the mire act of learning is easy, and the gradual lengthening ol thin process in Hie sorest proof of in tellectual advancement. Dr. Hyslop's condemnation of "for' oing" and of the present rapid ad vancement in civilization as conducing to the decrease of intellectual vigor, should furnish the basis of some heart to heart interviews among the leading educators and those prescribing the courses of study for young men and immature intellects. Shakespeare Club's Trolley Ride. The following members of the Shakes peare Club enjoyed a trolley ride to Uatawisra Saturday evening Misses Viola Young, Kaohel (Joodall, Harriet Boudernan, Jennie Lovett; Messrs. Sidney ().

FRAMED BIS SKULL Harry H. Exley, chief of detectivei with the John Robinson's ten bif shows, which frequently gives a per for man rein Danville, is at present staying in Sunbury recovering from i fractured skull which injury he receiv ed while with the circus at Bruus wick, Georgia, several weeks ago. When the circus train arrived a Brunswick, Mr. Exley was one of thi first persons to leave the train as wa his usual custom and just as he step l>)d from the car to the ground a bur ly negro quickly picked up a bricl and hurling it with all the strength a his command struck Exley a terribh blow near the left temple rendering hiiu uncouscious. Turning, the negri started to run and made good his es cape, but the men under Mr. Exlei who had witnessed the assault jumpei from the train, drew their revolver and literally filled the negro full o bullets, kililng him instaDtly. The shooting caused great excite meat and in a short time a large crow< assembled. Brunswick police officer then identified the negro as a very de sperate character and one who wai tiadly wanted to answer to several ser ious charges. It was the general be lief that the negro thought that Exle; was an officer trying to capture bin and in order to escape hurled th< brick. It was at once seen that Exley wa in a very critical condition and he wa hurried to the hospital. After an ex arnination by the hospital physician it was found that the injured mat had suffered a severe fracture of tin skull and he was not expected tore cover. An operation was decided up on in an effoit to try and save his lif< and a clot of blood and fragments oi hone removed which were pressing or the brain and a silver plate was in serted. Hovetiug between life anc death for some time Exley recovere< consciousness and his condition took i turn for the better. He was then re mov' d to his home at Pittsburg, bu physicians told him to leave the cit: and seek some more quiet place foi rest. Taking a fancy to Sunbury whei with the circus there he decided that this was the place to come to complet* his recovery. The wouni in his lias not yet entirely healed and he wil always carry au ugly scar. While with the Robinson circus lasi season Exley captured three counter feiters at Hazleion and a murderer al Columbia. He is thinking of opening a detective agency in Sunbury. Io Save Money for County.| Prominent taxpayers of Northumber land couuty are discussing the ques tiou of requesting the judges of tin courts of that county to make an orde enforcing to tho letter, the law rela tive to discharging under the insolv encv act. This is oue of the most importan departar sof tho court,as it means ni end of hard work for the lawyers whose clients have been saddled wit! the costs, and it will practically ba two-thirda of the litigauts who in tlx past have taken advantage of the lav to escape paying. The custom has been for attorneys as soon as the client has beeu sentenc ed to pay the costs, togo into cour and ask for a rule to show cause wlr he should not be discharged from cus tody under the insolvency act. Th rule was granted, and the applican given his freedom pending its disposi tiou. The attorney would straightwa; goto the nearest waste basket and de posit the papers and right there am then the matter ended This proceeding has become so far cial to the taxpayers that the judge will be asked to issue an ord°r simila to Luzerne county. To get a clien disoharged this would mean endles worry and almost as much rod tape a looking for a goverumeuc pension. I is not too much to say that the maj ority of the attorneys, rattier thau g all the rounds, would induce thei clients to borrow the money and pa the costs,as it is by far the easier wa out of the matter. The applicant under tho order firs made a deed of assignment to a credit or or creditors in his or her possessioi and in criminal cases the couuty wil be the creditor. Then applicants tuus be appointed to appraise his or he valuables, and they iu turn will file i schedule of the applicant's assets au< liabilities. After all this has beet done, a rule will be granted by th court. Iu the papers filed must als< be au oath from the applicant that ev erytliing has been assigned to his cred itors and also a number of other form that must be filled out. Lodge of Sorrow.

TO REPLACE CON DEKNED AKMOBIES '1 lie chances for a new Armory in this city will bo exceedingly bright should the m»tter of State Armories be taken up at the next meeting "112 the Legislature. That a hill will be parsed providing for their erection seems be yond a doobt. The guardsmen are do ing all in their power to have the bill passed and they ara backed by the press and many people of influence everywhere. Captain J. Beaver Gear hart, who was one of the delegates from the twelfth regiment to the meet ing of the State National Guard As sociatou held at Philadelphia las' week said yesterday: "The meeting of the State Nafiona Guard Association held recently a Philadelphia was of great import aance. The Armory question was takei up and Adjuraut General Stewart oat lined what would be asked from th< coming Legislature and the Associa tiou unanimously endorsed the pro ject. For many years the housing o tiie soldiers of this great Common wealth has been highly discreditable The majority of the buildings it which the soldiers have been trained among which is our local company, are disgracefully deficient in everj particular. With the present improve meut now going on in Danville a flf teen or twenty thousand dollar build iug would greatly add to the beautj of our city. There is now over $14,- 000,000 surplus in the State Treasury and surely out of this large sum enougl can be spared to at least make a be ginning. The opinion of the Associa tion was that the smaller towns ii which compaules are located would b< furnished with Armories first aud tin | larger cities in which tiie Armories are more adequate would not receivi attention until the condemned Arm ories were replaced with modern struc tures." Former Danville Army Workers The following clipped from the Cin cinuati Commercial Tribune will b< ! of interest to many Danville people: "A rousing welcomo was accorde( Adjutant and Mrs. W. H.

"Yes, we are going to like Cincin nati," said Mrs. Heift yesterday. "The smoke and dust of the citi seem a little strange, but to this w< 1 will soou become accustomed.

Too mucli praise can not „be giver Judge Savidge's view of the right waj to treat boy offenders who, tlioug! bad, may not be incorrigible. He dis played commendable discrimination and probable corrective leniency,in tin treatment of two Shamokin youths In suspending sentence after tiieir oonvic tion for theft, on conditiou that they reimburse the pirty from whom they had stolen. The u*n;»l way of treating soch cases is to lock young offender! up among hardened criminals where they encounter the danger of becom ing as bad as th-ir prison, associates, In the ot the two boys mention ed,who have been given the chance tr make ameuds without being brainier as felonious convicts, if there is a 113 good in them they will appreciate the Judge's leniency and try to live bet ter lives. It is a wise and charirabb course to give every young offender ai opportunity to redeem himself. If hi fails to take advantage of his oppor tunity then it will be time to send bin to jail.
