CIDER HILL IS CROWDED The cider making season is now at its height and H visit to Hoover Bros' modern hydraulic press proves very in teresting and shows that this firm is having a fair share of the business. The season opened some three weeks ago. Hoover Bros, have not been kept as busy as during some former seasons owing to the partial failure of the ap ple crop. Just at present the farmers are picking their apple and the best use that can be made of the culls and those blown from the trees by the wind is to make oider of them. Jnst now. therefore, the time is well oc cupied at tho cider press and yesterday there WAS scarcely an hour when two or three loaded wagons were not a waiting their turn. The maximum daily prodnct of Hoover Bros' press is some 3,800 gal lons. Time thousand gallons or even less is considered a good day's work. The apples seen at the press yester day were large and luscious revealing no signs of inferiority. A peculiarity of the yield this year seems to be that one orchard produces well, while the oue ou the farm adjoining or those 011 several farms uear bear only a partial crop or have no apples at all. Never theless in the aggiegate a large quant ity of apples will be thrown upon the market. When the crop is a large one enormous quantities of apples goto waste. Allowing for a shortage this year should apples be properly taken care of the crop will probably he large enough to natisfy all demand. Faith Not Necessary.

The greatest car famine in history threatens the ooal carrying roads of the country. So serious has the situa tion become that the New York Cent ral, Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio have issued orders prohibiting the uso of their cars except for the transpora tion of coal on their own lines or for ttie shipment of consignments originat ing on their roads and intended for immediate delivery on some connect ing line. The shortage on the Penn sylvania road is so great that bitninin oos operators in Central Pennsylvania have been compelled to restrict their production. Within the last few days transportation offices of the Beading and Pennsylvania havo been besieged by mine operators begging more cars. They are placing their car orders fur weeks ahead, but are given no assur ance except that all shall shate alike in the supply of cars as they accumu late each day. The apportionment is made iu proportion to the production of each company and each opeintor in doing his best to increase his share of available cars. The same scenes are enacted around the New York Central office and if the desired cars wore for thcoming the Boech Creek district would ho doing a record breaking busi ness. It is believed that this unusual transportation of coal is in anticipa tion of a strike, for which the coal companies are preparing bv unusual storage. Surprise Party.

Commander James Tanner. .Tames Tanner, new commander iu chief of the Grand Army of the Repub lic, is one of the most energetic veter ans of the civil war, despite the fact that he lost both legs at the second battle of Bull Bun. Born on a farm iu Schoharie county, N. Y., sixty-one years ago, Mr. Tanner enlisted in the Federal army at the age of seventeen the first year of the civil war, and participated in the battles of Williams burg, Fair Oaks, Yorktown, the seven days' fight before Richmond, Bristow Station and Manassas Junction. In August, 1862, he was so badly wounded that both of his legs were amputated below the knee. He was taken prison er in that condition, but was exchang ed in a few days. After the war he was admitted to tho bar and held sev eral state or government positions,the principal one being that of pension commissioner, which he administered from March 188!), to October ol the same year. After leaving the pension ollice he devoted fifteen years to prac ticing law and working for moro lib eral pension for old soldiers. In April, 1901, he was appointed register of wills of the District of Columbia by Presi dent Roosevelt. Siuce 1867 Corporal Tanner has been an active member of the G. A. R. In thirty years he has not missed a na tional encampment and as a member of the order's national committee on pensions he secured the passage of laws raising the pensions of all federal soldiers who hail lost both arms or legs or both eyes from |7J to SIGO per month. For years Mr. Tanner has been a poor sleeper,and ho rarely goes to bed before 1 o clock, for the reason that he has incessant pain in his two amputated legs. During his years of work for men who wore the blue he has done what he could for those who wore the gray. He materially assisted in raising funds for a soliders' home lor ex-Confederates in Richmond,Va., and at oue meeting in Brooklyn pro cured C 1 ,600. CURE YOUR KIDNEYS.

I COMPANY F BEGINS DRILLS There lias been lint little doiu' among the Guardsman since returning from the National encampment in July hut they are now getting r»ady for a strenuous winter's work The first drill of the season will he held nu Thursday evening. The coming winter is going to leave the National Guardsmen little time for play. In the first place the boys have never yet attained perfection in drills under the change in drill regula tions. The change was made late last spring, and owing to the work that was required to get ready for encamp ment it was impossible to give much attention to drills during the summer. The inspection at camp was not of a sort to reveal wherein the Guardsmen fell short of what was required under the new regulations. But the spring inspection will be rigid euough to briug out ail imperfections and if the members of Company F, of the 12th, want to make a showing that is half creditable they will have to attend drills regularly. In order that the new work may be mastered Colonel Clement has deter mined that drills most be attended regularly by all the members of the different Companies. In order to bring about perfect attendance couit martial may be resorted to as is now done with excellent results in other regiments of the Guard. It is at least safe to pre dict that hereafter absentees without cause will be severely dealt with. The members of Company F have abandoned hopes of securing a Stato Armory for Danville at any time in the near future. It is thought that Milton will be one of the first to come in for an armory under the new Act. However, Danville's claims are not neglected and Captain .1. Beaver Gear hart of Company F, at the present time is in correspondence with the recently appointed Armory Board rela tive to the matter. For All Kinds of Piles.

GRcAT CHANGES IN HOAD LAW By an act of assembly approved April 12, 11)05, a radical and import ant change lias been made in the mat ter of caring for roads in all town ships of ttie second class in this com monwealth. As every township in Montour county is a township of the second class, the act is especially in teresting to our citizens. Instead of electing two supervisors at the next February election, three will be chos en, one for one year, and one for two years and one for three years. They will meet for organization on the first Monday in March after their eleotion, and will elect one of their number as chairman, and oue as sec retary. They will also choose a trea surer, who shall not be of their num ber. It will be their duty to immedi ately levy a road tax. This body of supervisors shall take no active part, personally, iu the care of the roads nt their respective town ships. Their duties are to organize, levy the tax, divide the townships up into road districts, with not less than five miles of road to eaoh distriot. They shall employ a roadmaster for each of these districts, whose duty it shall be to work upon the road him self, and see that the roads in his dis trict are carod for according to the specifications furnished him by the three supervisors. This roadmaster must give bond if required to do so by the supervisors, and is at all times subject to removal by tho supervisors of the township. The control of the roadmasters, tho employment of laborers, the purchase of scrapers, plows,stone crushers,roll ers. and other road machines are in tho bauds of the three supervisors, who shall meet once a month for the tran saction of business, being allowed necessary expenses. They shall not be interested in any work done,purchases made, or contracts relating to roads and bridges, nor are they allowed to furnish anv materials therefor. Under this same act, it is provided that upon petition of at least twenty five taxpayers in any township, an election shall be authorized by the court of quarter sessions, to bo held at the ensuing February election, to pass upon the question of whether the road tax in that particular township shall be worked out as heretofore, or shall be paid in cash. As an inducement to pay the road tax in cash.it is provided that in every township which shall be favorable to paying the tax iu ca-li the three supervisors shall make a sworn stitement to the highway com missioner before the fifteenth day of March in each year, showing tho amount of tax assessed, as well as the amount collected. Upou receipt of such statement, the said highway commis sioner is required to draw a warrant upon the state treasury in favor of the said township for tho payment of fif teen per cent, of the amount so col lected for the use of the township fur nishing such statement. It will thus be seen that every pos sible safeguard is thrown around the care of the public roads, and that the system laid down ill this act ought to be productive of much good. Thought ful and progressive citizens in the country districts have always deplored the wasteful methods of road repair ing and road construction under the old system Too many men regarded it as quite proper to do a great deal of "soldiering" when nominally work ing ont 111 >» 1 r road tax. In very many cases a largo aiuouut of tax was used op under tho old system with very lit tle results to show for the same. Under the law as it now stands, it will require a very few energetic and competent loadmasters in each town ship, with funds at their command, to keep the roads in much better condi tion than heretofore, (tightly admin istered any township that elects to pay its road tax iii money can by this method make every dollar of the tax payers' money worth fl. 15 to the town ship, and, moreover, a definite system of ro id specification can easily put into practice and carried out from year to year in a manner not hereto fore possible. If the best citizens in the various townships will sacrifice the time to serve under this new law until tlie system is fairly inaugurated, and un til successful elections are held all over the county to make the road tax a money tax, great results will be ac complished in a few years in Montour county,in the way of good roads. This is a subject worthy of the earnest mid thoughtful consideration of every resi dent ot the rural districts in the en tire state of Pennsylvania.

The game of base ball at Berwick on Saturday was a feast of base hits in which Berwick excelled, and consequ ently smothered our aggregation of ball tossers to the tune of 15 to 4. MoOlourl was on the slab for Dan ville and that he remained there for nine innings was no fault of the A. O. & F. boys for they waded right into him from the start ami when the dust had settled at the close of the first in ning the score showed four runs and four hits on the Berwick page of the official score hoik, and one of the hits was a semi oircler by Smith. The fusillade was continuous throughout the game as Berwick failed in only one inning to hit safely. McOloud had it about right after the game when he rendered to the amusement of the by standers, a few lines from tho popular song "I got mine." Danville did soino hitting themselves as the score shows 10 hits to their credit, but in almost every instance the bits were made when no men were on the bases and did not result iu runs. Danville lost the game because they were outbattcd and outfielded from start, to finish. Now as to Sweeney the tenth man, unowu usually as tho umpire. In Sat urday's oontest it was not necessary for him to display his ability as a game snatcher, but merely to keep himself iu trim, he made a fow hair raising decisions that would,in a close game, send the visitors to their homes covered all over with a teuth man do feat. The A. O. &F. team are a gen tlemanly lot of players and have lost very few games this season but had they discovered Sweeney early iu the season, and put him to work, they would probably have a much higher precentage of games won. Sweeney showed the spectators on Saturday that he has the goods ready for immediate delivery if necessary. However, the Berwick A. (1 & F. team anil not Sweeney defeated Danville.

E. Seidel.of Derry township, has adopted a vocation, which while probably not without a parallel, yet borders on the unique. Mr. Seidel's business is that of training hunting dogs and he is succeeding admirably. As might he implied, Mr. Seidel trains pointers and setters to become useful in the pursuit of game by developing in them that instinct which causes the dog in the first instance to stop at the scent of game and with its no-e to point it out to the sportsman and in the second instance to indicate the whereabouts of the wild fowl by as suming a fixed position, either bv standing, sitting or crouching. The business must be a most diffi cult one, requiring not only patience hut natural ability of a very high order coupled with a profound know ledge of dogs in general. At the same time it should bo that the dogs entrusted to Mr. Seidel are the most finely bred iu the world, hailing from all parts of Pennsylvania and even from Ohio and other neighboring States Included in the lot being train ed at present is a dog belonging to A. J. Cassatt. President of tho Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, which is valued at S2OOO. During neaily the entire summer Mr. Seidel had soma 25 dogs under his care. The place where this training is in progress is on the YVashingtonville road, adjoining tho well known St. Giair farm. The visitor to the premises may be surprised to hear a perfect chorus of harking in the direction of the barn, indicating the presence of dogs galore An investigation will show that, thorn are no cattle, at least to speak of, in the big barn, hut that the stalls are filled with dogs of sever al kinds. In training his dogs Mr. Seidel has tho privilege of using some four hun dred acres of land embracing his own place and adjoiniug tracts. Ho has been quite busy for four months past, but now that the hunting season is ap proaching he is getting ready to ship the dogs b*ck to their owners. Mr. Soldi 1 lias twelve years exper ience and is veiy widely known as a dog fancier and trainer and not only are the most valuable dogs in the coun try entrusted to his care, but the fees that he receives are in many instances something to be proud of. Coffee Consumption in U. S. The monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance contains a most exhaustive history of the culture, production and consumption of the coffee berry th roughout the world. This is followed by like histories of tea ami caoao Ex perienced wriieis have contributed to this work ; and there seems to be noth ing wanting in the historical review or 111 ttie voluminous statistics that accompany it. For its preparation much credit is due to Mr. O. P. Aus tin,the able statistician at the head of the bureau. But we have room here only for a brief notice of the coffee trade aud consumption of the United States. In 11104. the latest date to which these statistics are brought down, the total consumption of coffee by tho Ameri can people amounted to 9<50.879,000 pounds, or nearly two-fifths of the worlds' production for that year. To tliis consumption Brazil alone coutri hut .1 711,758,71)8 pounds of tlie value ot The Republics of Col ombia, Venozula and Mexico together supplied 159,445,153 pounds, valued at $12,251,271. This loives not quite 40,000,000 pounds as the contribution of Asia, Africa and other regions. Much is said (in grocers' advertisements) of the great consumption of Mocha and Java in the United States. But a re ference to tho returns of trade shows that in 1 DOt the total importation of coffeo from the Dutch East ludies amounted to only 11,730,352 pounds. A little more, amounting to 1,3C>7,502 pounds, drifted in from Amsterdam. This wou'd hardly leave many berries of the savory Java coffeo to each in habitant of the United States. Much that goes for Java comes from other countries than the Dutch East Indies. As for the Arabian berry, the Mocha, the returns of trade do not give evi dence of its importation. Not much of it in fact,gets beyond Constantinople. This exhibit shows that if the coffeo supply of Brazil should give out the deprivation would be seriously felt by the consumers in the United States. While the per capita consumption of the United Kingdom in 1904 was only .07 of a pound,that of this country was 11.75 pounds. But the production of the strong, dark "Kio" of Brazil ap pears to keep steady pace with tho world's growing demand. A Delightful Evening.

The Grand Jury in seesion daring the present week has made a number of recommendations,every one of which is iu liue with good judg uient and is necessary to insure pro tection of public property. The rec ommendation relating to repairs at the Court House, especially, are time ly and important The bjilding— walls and woodwork —need painting and need it badly in order to conform with the imposing steps and the broad expause of ooncrete pavement just com pleted in front of and alongside the building. The Grand Jury's recom mendations iu full are as follows: To The Honorable Judge of Quarter Sessions ot Montour County : The Grand Jury are pleased to re port that the recommendations ot the previous Grand Jury have been satis factorily complied with. We have inspected the several pub lic building, the river bridge, aud fiud them in good condition, with the exception of the following repairs needed. At the Oourt House we would rec ommend that the roof of the porch iu front be covered with a sheeting of copper or lead to properly protect the stone work from injury caused by rain, snow and freezing; also that the baluster of the porch be replaced with a new one—that the walls and wood work of the outside of the Oourt House be painted. We find the condition of the heaters in the cellar so bad that they can not be used. We recommend repairs. At the jail we recommend plumbing in the several cells be putin proper repairs ; also that an eleotrio light be placed immediately iu rear of the jail building in the jail yard,the necessity of which is urgent. As to the river brige we recommend that it be examined by au expert bridge builder or an engineer under the personal supervision of the Coun ty Commissioners. We would respectfully say that this Oruud Jury has complied with the re quest from the Court and have viewed the publio road adjoining the trolley track in Mahoning aud Cooper town ships. We find the trolley track sev eral inohes higher than the wagou road aud we recommend that the trolley people grade from public road aoross trolley track by filling up to such height as will make it possible for wagons to drive on and off the track when neoessary. We also recommend that plank be laid between the rails at all cross roads aud crossings. Wo consider the gutter on the north side of the public road in said town ship to be iu au uusafe condition as it now exists. Wo reoommend filling up on.some measure that may make it perfectly safe for travel. R. C. AUTEN, Foreman.

Oarmel, suddenly quit work yester day, and the inhabitants are by turns in deep despair and in explosive in dignation when they look on and walk among the trenohes, pools, piles of dirt, rook and construction material, which are in almost all the principal streets of the town. The contractors would give no reasons for their action. It is known that they have been at loggerheads with Engineer Hatton, who is directing the work. The con tract price for the sewerage system is $(>7,000. Ignored Many Bills. The grand jury, whioh acted during the reoent term of court iu Sunbury, ignored sixty bills, or just one-third of tho eutiro trial. This is the record for ignoring bills. But to continue their good work the grand jurors plac ed the cost of the ignored bills upon the proseoutors, thus making a deter mined effort to cut down the potty cases, which some people are always taking to court.

STORES OPEN I# THE EVENING. The early closing season ended with the last of September and yesterday most of the stores remained open after six o'clock in the evening. The illu minated buildings made Mill street appear much more cheerful, although from appearances the volume of busi ness done was not heavy. This is be cause the people have gotten out of the habit of shopping after six o'clock and it will be some timo before they become accustomed to going to the store in the evening. The evening, too, was a rainy one and most people chose to remain iu doors. As soon as our people become fami liar with the fact that the stores are open there will be a good deal of shop ping during the long evenings, There seems to be a sentiment among the merchants in favor of closing at 8 o'clock and that was the hour at which most of the stores were closed last evening A few are not iu favor of setting any hour for closing up, while others prefer adhering to the rule of the summer aad closing at six o'clock each day with the exception of Satur day. It is not unlikely that 8 o'clock will be the hour on which a compro mise will be made aud that what shop . ping is done in the evening will have to bo finished before that hour. Later in the season the time may be extend ed. Luther League Convention.
