February sth is the last day for tiling nomination pap ers for boroughs aud townships. The two weeks or so intervening be twee 11 the present and the above dates will be occupied with considering the matter of candidates aud making nom inations. The Republicans have select- Ed January 26th as the time for hold ing their primaries in the Borough autl District. The Democrats, realiz ing that the time is narrowing down, are beginning to bestir themselves,but as a general thing have not arranged any dates. The Democrats of Mahon ing township have held their caucus and it was learned yesterday that the same party in the Fourth Ward of the Borough has selected Saturday night, January 27th, as the date of the pri mary election. The other wards will probably fall in at about the same date. One hears very little on the subject of candidates, although a couple of very important offices are to be filled. For the office of Chief Burgess in either party it does not seem that any one is seriously considered as a can didate It is doubtful also whether there will be much of a fight for the office of Tax Receiver for the Borough. In none of the wards is there much enthusiasm aud prospective candidates for Councilmen and School Directors are much less in evidence than for a good many years past. The truth of the matter is: To serve the public faith fully, in the two latter of the above named offices,especially,means a whole lot of hard work gratuitously done, the only reward lying in the approba tion of the fellow citizens. When as in our own town public improvements are pending or on foot the burden of responsibility becomes heavier. It is hard to avoid mistakes even in one's own business and in handling public affairs the Councilman and the School Director faces the contingency of dis pleasing the tax payer in some details and instead of meeting with public approbation is greeted with a deluge of public censure. The present Council and the School Board of Danville are made up of men whose integrity is unquestionable. Neither body would be any place for men who do not possess the golden at tribute of honesty anil it is safe to say that only such will be named for eith er office or at most that only such will lie elected. The successful candidate there fore will have to be a man of public spirit along with his other good at tributes, one willing to sacrifice his personal interest for the public good. That the right man can be found when needed admits of 110 doubt. A WIDOW'S GRATITUDE. A woman living in tlie village of Milford, N. Y., who lost her husband by death one week ago,sent tlie follow ing communication to an Otsego coun ty newspaper: "Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the friends and neighbors most heartily, in this manner, for the united aid and co-operation during the illness and death of my late husband, who escap ed from me by the hand of death on Friday last while eating breakfast. To the friends and all who contribut ed so willingly toward making the last moments and funeral of my hus band a success, I desire to remember most kindl?, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same bless ing.

The commission created to make ar rangements for the dedication of the new capitol at Harrisburg will meet some time this week for organization, as it is considered wise to begin the work of preparation as soon as possi ble. The commission consists of Gov ernor Pennypacker, Auditor General Snyder, State Treasurer Mat hues, Speaker Walton, Senator Fox and Sen ator \V. C. Sproul Architect Joseph M. Huston is auth ority for the statement that the ded ication will be one of the greatest affairs ever seen in Pennsylvania. The State has appropriated $50,000 to pay the expenses. The dedication will very likely take place next October, and will be a military and civic sjicetacle such as will befit the dedication of the finest capitol builuing in the United States. The entire National Guard will be present, and the Governors of the different States, the Senators and memliers of Congress from this State, the Legislature, the Supreme and Sup erior court, and men of prominence the country over will all 1m- invited to attend. The commission will make a particularly earnest effort to secure the presence of President Roosevelt and in this will be aided by Senators Penrose and Knox. The commission will have of tires at the new capitol for the transaction of ifs business, ami will make every en deavor to have the dedication a grand success. Attended Oscar Morgan's Funeral Miss Alice Smith and fra C. Ever hard of the Hospital, have returned from Denton, Md., where they attend ed the funeral of Oscar O. Morgan, a former attendant at the Hospital for the Insane here, who had a number of friends in Danville and vicinity. The deceased left Danville three years ago removing to St. Louis, Mo., where death occurred on Tuesday of last week. He was thirty-five years of age and besides his wife is survived by two children : Gertrude aged nine and Oscar aged four years. The deceased lived in Danville eight years and while here resided in one of the houses belonging to the Twist estate on East Market street. The news of his death will be learned wirli much regret. Naturally the work of the Legisla ture is going to bo closely watched by the people of the state.

Response to both morning and afternoon roll will is required in mak ing a day. The annual meeting of the Directors' Association takes the place of "Direc tors' Day" which formerly was a feat ure of the County Institute. It is quite an improvement over the old order and by one or two practical addresses and the reading of papers aud a general discussion by the members, the direc tors of each district will have an op portunity to learn what is new and advanced in methods of instruction and in school management and how the di rectors of other districts have over come difficulties and vexed problems that confront the public schools. Ev ery school director in the county should be present at the convention. Prescribed New Regulations. Local grave diggers, especially those at Odd Fellows' and Fairview cemet eries where hard digging at a certain depth is a factor will be very glad to learn tliat the State Department of Health has prescribed new regulations for the burying of human bodies in the cemeteries of Pennsylvania to meet the objections, which have been raised to the original regulations adopted re cently by Commissioner Dixou. The order sent out by Dr. Dixon ami which went into effect 011 January Ist provided that the distance from the .top of the box containing the coffin or casket be seven feet from the natural surface of the ground. This gave the grave a total depth of about nine feet. Where the ground afforded easy dig ging to the depth named there could probably be little objection to the new regulation. But tiie fact in the l»egiu uing was lost sight of that iu many cemeteries nine feet would carry the grave down into solid rock necessitat ing the use of explosives before the projter depth could he attained. The new ruling was especially hard 011 the grave digger at < )dd Fellows' ceme tery, where at a depth of some seven feet a shelly rock is encountered. At the Fairview cemetery conditions are nearly as bad, at the same depth a de posit of hard pan being encountered, which makes digging difficult. Tho grave diggers naturally protest ed against being obliged to sink graves to such an unusual depth in tiie face of such obstacles as existed. The un dertakers insisted upon carrying out the letter of the law and the grave diggers did their best to comply. Only a few funerals have occurred since January Ist and what success the reg ulations later on would have met with had it not been for the new order it would be hard to say. A man of aver age stature by adding a yard to his height cau form an idea of the depth of grave required. Iu the case of an infant's grave to comply with the reg ulation became impracticable or a physical impossibility. The new regulation prescribed pro vides that except by special permission from the department 110 interment of any human body shall be made in any public or private burial ground unless the distance from the top of the box containing the coffin or casket be at least live feet from the natural surface of the ground, except where solid rock or water may be encountered. Then the distance from the top of the box containing the ooftiu or casket shall not he less than four feet from the natural surface of the ground ; ami with the further exception that still born children and children less than four years old dead of any disease otli er than anthrax, cholera, diphtheria, small pox, scarlet fever, tetanus and typhoid fever shall be buried at such depth that the top of the box contain ing the coffin or casket be not less than three and one-half feet from the natur al surface of the ground. AT THE GAME PRESERVE. Hon. Alexander Billmeyer of Wash ingtonville was in this city yesterday. He states that the animals in his game preserve are having a fine time and are thriving nicely during the mild win ter. A severe winter sets hard on wild animals and this holds good with the deer and other animals in it game pre serve as well as with the wild animals in the forest. Last winter as well as during the winter preceding Mr. Bill meyer saiit, several of the delicate young fawns succnmlted to the cold weather. This winter they are as hap py as they can be and are growing nicely. From what Mr. Billmeyer has observed relating to weather condi tions he is inclined to believe that mild weather will predominate during the winter. That January lfitli should arrive and show no sign of freezing,as was the case yesterday, he thought was a pretty fair criterion ou which to base a view as to what the winter a* a whole might be like. FIREMEN'S RELIEF IN DANVILLE At tiie Friendship Engine House, Saturday evening, was held the annual election of officers of the Danville branch <>f tin Firemen's Relief Associ ation, of Pennsylvania. The balloting resulted in the election of A. G. Roat. president; George Kocher, vice presi dent; Harry Trumbower,secretary and Sam A. McCoy, treasurer. This branch of the fire fighting ser vice in the State is one about which very little is known, many of the fire men themselves being in ignorance of the true significance of the Associa tion. The object of the Association is" to pay a benefit to a fireman who is in jured in the performance of duty. The funds of the organization accrue from a tax of 2 per centum levied on the premiums of all lire insurance com panies outside the State ttiat write in surance in Pennsylvania. One b;»lf of tliis tax is devoted to tlie fire depart ment in the State and distributed among the different local departments in proportion to the amount of insur ance the taxable companies write in that locality. Since the institution of the Associa tion the funds have come into the local treasury faster than they have been disbursed,and as a consequence a snug sum, shown in the appended report, is now deposited in the Danville banks and drawing 3 per cent, interest.

Some time during Tuesday night or early yesterday morning au attempt was made to poison the horse of Har ry Evans, the mail carrier on Blooms burg H. F. D. No. 3. The horse is the one used by Mr. Evans on his route, anil was bedded and given hay Tuesday evening as us ual in the barn of his father-in-law, Ricliard Umstead on East Third street, Bloomsburg. Yesterday morning when Mr. Umstead went to the barn lie found that the horse had eaten none of the hay, and a further axamination disclosed a largo quantity of oats mix ed with paris green in the trough. The horse was standing but appar ently dazed and dopy. Dr. G. H. Wel liver was nailed and administered emetics, but the condition of the an imal continued critical. At ten o'clock Tuesday evening a man was seen going up the alley near the barn, and his actions looked sus picious, but he was not recognized. Just when the poison was placed in the stall, or how entrance to the barn was made is unknown. The ]Ktisoued horse is valued at #125. Mr. Evans knows of no one who would attempt for any reason to kill the horse. The secret of successfully ridding the system of a cold is a thorough evacua tion of the bowels.

This is a matter of the ut most importance to a large proportion of the citizens of the state who will be greatly benefitted by a large reduc tion in the local freight rates which hey are now forced to pay. It is of particular importance to tlie agricul turists, citizens of country towns and storekeepers of country towns. The electric railways in every state surrounding Pennsylvania are today carrying freight.and tlie citizens have found it a source of great saving,much added convenience and a strong factor in contributing to the, success of busi ness in the suburban and rural dis tricts. Farm laud near railroad freight .sta tions commands a much higher value than farm land along trolley lines remote from steam railroad stations; if electric railways be granted the right to carry freight this condition of affairs will be reversed —farmers living along electric; lines remote from steam railroad freight stations will in stead of having to drive many miles j every day to a steam railroad freight station, be enabled to load their pro duets on electric railways practically at their front doors in many instances; this will give them an equal advant age to that unjoyed by farmers living near a steam railroad freight station — they will have the added advantage, however, of cheaper freight rates on the electric railways—more frequent freight service and quick delivery of freight. This should enhance the value of all farm lands along freieht carry ing electric railways to figures far in excess of the values of farms now ap proximate to steam railroad freight stations. The freight consigned over electric railways would also be delivered at its destination and not at central freight depots from whence it won Id have to be carried to its ultimate destination. The storekeepers in the smaller towns, and even cities of considerable size, would be greatly benefitted by direct freight communication by electric rail way from their store front witli the store front of the wholesaler from whom they make their purchases. The saving in haulage, as well as the sav ing in reduced treight rates, will be of enormous value to these business men. Perfection can only be attained in the physical by allowing Nature to ap propriate and not dissipate Iwr own resources.

Passengers Prightened. A number of passengers on the Read ing passenger train Wednesday morn ing, which leaves Sunburv about 9 o'clock for Shamokin, were terror stricken due to an accident which oc curred near Arters' Station. While the train was running along at a rapid rati' of speed the cylinder head on one side of the engine blew out and striking the passenger coach tore a large hole iu the side of the car. The force of the blow was such that the car was jarred from its position on the trucks anil although no one was injured the passengers were thorough ly frightened, believing that a wreck would surely occur. After running about a half a mile the train was brought to a standstill and when the extent of the damage was learned the car was cut from the train and the passengers were trans ferred to the Pullman car.

It was visited by a number of people during the afternoon, who were much interested in the equipment of the plant, which embraces all the modern devices known and is a marvel as showing the advancement made in a few years in tho single branch of bot tling. The bottling will be carried on in a new brick building situated southwest of the main building,recently complet ed. The facilities could not be well improved on, while the beer used is a special brew made for that purpose. Everything is done by machinery at record-breaking speed. Although none of the hands had as yet become expert on Saturday a barrel of beer was bot tled in 2U minutes. Ten bottles per minute is about the average and this includes the washing of the bottles, the tilling, the corking and tlie labelling, for the equipment is so ar ranged that each of the above processes is going on at the same time. In each department the machinery is the very acme of ingenuity and in its relation to hydraulics or other branch es of science it forms a pleasant aud profitable study. This is especially true of the tilling process aud the washing of the bottles, while by no means the least interesting is the machine for corking the bottles and another machine for putting 011 the Libels. The process of Pasteurizing the beer consists of packing the filled bot tles contained in metallic cases in a huge tank into which is turned water heated by steam to an intense degree. As above stated each of the different processes is in progress at the same time. While one man is washing the bottles, another is presiding over the filler; another is operating the corker, another is preparing for pastereuizing and still another is putting on the la bels. This probably comprises the lim ited number of menemployed in the bottling department, while as revealed by Saturday's xperimeut the daily pro duct will be something enormous. Indigestion is easily overcome by the use of Kodol Dysjw'psia Cure, because this remedy digests what you eat and gives the stomach a rest—allows it to recuperate and grow strong again. Kodol relieves Indigestion, Belching of Gas, Sour Stomach, Heart Burn, etc., and enables the digestive organs to transform all foods into the kind of rich red blood that makes health and strength.

A tire occurred at Jameson City dur ing Saturday night that threatened a general conflagration in the central part of that town,before it was finally brought under control by the efforts of rlie volunteer fire department. The fire was discovered about mid night in the large barn on the hotel property of Ben Dorsey, the building Iteing already wrapped in flames. The fire quickly spread to the barn of J. C. Searfos' Brothers and both build ings were completely destroyed. In the Dorsey barn two horses, two cows, two hogs and two dogs were burned to death. The vehicles, however, were saved. The firemen were able to re move the live stock from the Serafos barn. The Maccabees' Building was for a while in great danger of being de stroyed, anil as it was the building sustained considerable damage. The clothing store of M. Socks occupies the first floor of the Maccabees' Build ing and the stock was damaged con siderably by water.

VERY SUCCESSFUL SKIN GRAFTING Howard (Joiner, the lti-year-old sou ot Levi Geiger, Limestone township, who was so shockingly injured by be- dragged under a cultivator last summer, lias now practically recover ed after a long siege of over five mouths of suffering. It is one of the 1110-t remarkable cases of skin grafting on record. 'J tic accident will be easily Recalled by Morning News readers. On June 10th last Howard Geiger was riding a cultivator on bis father's farm. One of the horses becoming restive struck the tongue, which caused it to break. As the result of this the front part of the cultivator dropped, which caused Howard to fall from the seat striking the ground right in front of the teeth; at the same moment the horses sprang forward and ran away dragging the hoy along under the cultivator. It was ;i most shocking accident. Dragging Howard along the horses ran fully one fourth of a mile the boy being releas ed as the cultivator crossed a deep ditch, which permitted his body to drop below the range of the teeth. As might be imagined his body was one mass of cuts aud bruises,while his left arm was injured to such an extent as to make the possibility of recovery very remote, indeed. Every vestige of skin was.stripped from the arm from near the shoulder to the wrist. The -kin was stripped in one mass by the action of the harrow teeth just as a stacking is pulled downward off a hu man limb. A surgeon's knife could not have made a neater job of it. In addition to this on the under side of the arm above the elbow the muscle itself was town away and the bone was exposed. Such was the case that our towns man. Dr. K. S. Fatten, then of Wash iugtouville, was called to grapple with. That lie at once reassured the family and set about to grow a new skin on the flayed arm and even to restore the use of that member attests alike to the grip that the physician had upon his profession and his confidence in mod ern methods of surgery. That he has succeeded under the circumstances is a splendid testimonial alike to his skill, close application and devotion to the welfare of his patient. The injured arm from its contact with the ploughed field was in a dread ful condition and it was fully three weeks before the physician could get the arm clean and ready for the pro cess of skin grafting. It was necessary to administer anaesthetics to the pati ent each day for a week while dress ing the injury. It was nearly a month after the ac cident before the first skin could be grafted and then the surface to be cov ered was of such dimensions as to uearly discourage hope of success. There seemed to be but practically one source from which to obtain the skin for the process of graftiug and that was from tin' boy himself. All the rest of the family were needed to con duct the affairs of the farm and to have placed them under the surgeon's knife in tliis way would have incapa citated them for work. The skin needed was taken first from Howard's limbs and then from his sides, cut in strips some two inches long by one inch wide. An anaesthetic had to be used with each operation and but a very small surface could be covered at one time. The body where the skin had been removed had to be given an opportunity to heal and thus skin could be grafted only at intervals of three weeks. Meanwhile the phy sician succeeded in drawing the muscle together where the bone was exposed and the process of geueral healing be gan. Nothing more tod ions along with the painfuliiess of the thing can be con ceived of. By the first of September after over two months of skin grafting the greater part of the arm was still exposed. Meanwhile the boy's limbs and liis sides were kept raw where the >ki 11 had been removed, although care was taken to produce liealing as rapid ly as possible. To afford the poor Iwv relief the ex periment of using the skhi of a chick en was tried. This was likewise dem onstrated as a success. The skin from under the wing of a living chicken was grafted onto Howard's arm along with the skin from the other parts of his own body and one grew as well as the other. All through the autumn and early winter the skin grafting went on, the last operation taking place about three weeks ago. Howard is now practically well again and is assisting his father on the farm and does all kinds of work. Despite the discouraging outlook at the time of the accident the boy lias regained the full use of his arm and he finds that it is as strong as it ever was. The only results of the accident that re main are the deep scars that cover the boy's body, both where ti»e skin was removed on his limb* and sides and on his arm where it was grafted. The scars, however, can l»e easily borne, considering that recovery lias come af ter such terrible injury and such a long siege of doubt and suffering.
