BROUGHT TOGETHER
B? CHOIR PIGTORG
The "North American"of Monday
relates an interesting episode, in which
a well known Montour county lady
figures. The story reads as follows:
Through the publication in The
North American two weeks ago today
of a photograph of the vested choir of
the First Methodist Church of German
town, Howard Robinett O'Dauiel, the
organist and choirmaster of the church,
has been brought into communication
with relatives of whom lie had no pre
vious knowledge.
They are Mrs. Kate Maus Jones, a
daughter of Mr. O'Daniel's older sis
ter, Louise, and her son, Horatio C.
Jones, Jr. They live near Danville,
Pa., on a farm, which has been in the
Maus family since 1756.
Two weeks ago yesterday the choir
which is the only male vested choir
singing in any Methodist church, sang
for the first time "The Nativity," a
sacred'cantata by Adam Geibel, the
blind Philadelphia orgauist. The next
day there appeared in these columns a
report of the service, with the picture.
Iu a farm house far up the Susque
hanna Valley Mrs. Jones saw the pic
ture that day. She knew her mother's
maiden name had been O'Dauiel, and
then remembered hearing when a lit
tle girl of relatives iu Philadelphia.
The Christian names of the organist
she recognized as old /amily names,
and his face in the picture showed the
O'Daniel features. Two days later Mr.
O'Dauiel received a letter of inquiry,
a correspondence was opened, and the
fact of relationship established.
Mr. O'Dauiel attributes the fact of
their never having heard of each oth
er to the discrepancy between his age
and the ages of his older brothers and
sisters, who are now all dead. His sis
ter Louise married and moved up the
State before he was born and his par
ents died when he was quite young.
Consequently, he never heard of his
cousin Kate.

the bowels. Affords immediate relief

Cough, etc. Children love it. Sold

Conference to be Important.
The annual meeting of the Central
Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal Con
ference will be held at Tyrone, begin
ning on March 28. Bishop Joseph F.
Berry, D. D., of Buffalo, formerly
editor of the Epworth Herald, will
preside. The session is expected to be
one of unusual interest for the various
churches of the conference, because of
the large numl»er of important changes
which may be made among the preach
ers.
Two imj>ortanf vacancies will have
to be filled—those caused by the death
of the Rev. Amos A. Baldwin, presid
ing elder of the Danville district, and
by the election of the Rev. Dr. Wil
liam Perry Eveland as the president of
WilliamsjHirt Dickinson seminary.
These will, it is expected, cause ad
vancement all along the line. To fill
the presiding eldership and the vac
ancy at Bloomsburg two good men
will be required, and they will be
taken, no doubt, from good churches.
This will necessarily mean a uunilier
of other changes.
Three names have been suggested for
the vacant presiding eldership. The
Rev. Emory M. Stevens, pastor of the
Pine Street Church, Williamsport, was
known as one of the strongest presid
ing elders the conference lias ever had,
and great pressure will no doubt l>e
brought to bear upon him to again ac
cept sucli duties. The Rev. B. C. Con
nor. oastor of one of the Altoona
churches and who has been engaged in
a big building effort is also mentioned.
The Rev. R. H. Gilbert, pastor of the
Berwick church, in which the last
con ference was held, is also suggest
ed. The appointments to l»e made by
the conference will therefore be await
ed this year with unusual interest.
A Modern Miracle.
"Truly miraculous seemed the recov
ery of Mrs. Mollie Holt of this place"
writes J. O. R. Hoojter, Woodford,
Tenn., "she was so wasted by cough
ing up puss from her lungs. Doctors
declared her end so near that her fam
ily had watched by her bed -side fort y
eight hours; when at my urgent re
quest Dr. King's New Discovery was
given her, wtih the astonishing result
that improvement began .and confined
until she finally completely recovered,
and is a healthy woman today. " Guar

BOARD BF TRADb
| Theorganization of au Industrial and
I Improvement Company among the
residents of the South Side lias sug
gested the question whether a little
activity anion# the members of the
Board of Trade in Danville might not
I serve to show that that organization is
I still alive ami help to promote the
| business interest of the town ami eom
| niunity.
That a Board of Trade exists 111 Dan
ville might not he known to many
I»ersons. When a meeting was held last
is not clear but certain it is that
very little has been heard from the
organization in the way of steady org
anized effort for a rear or more past.
Meanwhile the need of activity to take
(rare of our old industries and add new
ones is as urgent as it ever was.
Obviously the advantages for manu
factories in Danville are so numerous
and varied that the proposition of
landing new industries should not be a
difficult one for an active Board of
Trade to handle. The Knitting Mill*
and the Silk Mill, both large and im
portant industries operated 011 a pay
ing basis—their small beginning, the
rnpid growth and the promising future
of each —illustrate that conditions
abound here favorable for the success
and development of all such enter
prises.
The Board of Trade following its re
organization some two years ago held
regular meetings for several months.
The members are our liest, our most
active and most influential citizens.
They are capable of accomplishing
much good and it must be admitted
that during their brief,though aggres
sive campaign, they brought about ap
preciable results, quite apparent in re
newed enterprise and the promotion
of business interests.
The field was carefully looked over
in the quest for new industries and
thus the town was kept in touch with
opiKjrtnuity. such as existed. Small
industries were set 011 their feet and
the welfare of older ones was careful
ly looked after. Time has brought no
change in the short interval and the
same conditions which made the Board
of Trade useful in the past still exist
today.
There is still plenty of room for new
industries iu Danville while there nev
er is a time that established industries
do'not need looking after. Not one of
these for any reason should lie per
mitted to close. It is the Board of
Trade alone that can keep in touch
with the situation as it relates to each
industry and work for the general wel
fare.
It is hoped, therefore, that we shall
hear of a meeting iu a short time, a*
there are rumors of changes affecting
one or more of our industries, that
would seem to indicate that their fu
ture is uncertain.
Ice Crop a Failure.
The local ice dealers have about de
spaired of being able to gather a har
vest of ice from the usual home sourc
es. There has been no freezing weath
er for a week or ten days past. The
ice, which was at no time thick enough
to harvest with profit, during the re
cent warm sj>ell has wasted away con
siderably and the preseut outlook for
a good crop or for ice worth cutting
at all is very poor indeed.
Our local dealers are now generally
looking toward the Pocono Mountains,
which proves a never-failing source of
ioe,iu even the mildest of winters. A.
M. Peters lias just received a car load
of the Pocono product, which is four
teen indies thick. Whether lie will be
obliged to fill his ice houses with Po
cono ice or not is uncertain, but it is
a source that lie is glad to hold in re
serve.
A. L. Delcamp will always have a
car load or so of Pocono ice on hand
in the old Salvation Army barrack,
but he will supply his trade by regular
shipments from the mountains kept up
during the year.

[TWO KILLED
AT SELINSIIBOVF.
A most distressing accident occurred
near Selinsgrove, Sunday evening
about < o'clock when Miss Marv Corn
wall, of Sunburv, formerly of Dan
villi-, and Murray Heider, oi Selins
grove. were struck by au engine while
walking across the Pennsylvania rail
road bridge at Selinsgrove and instant
ly killed.
Miss Cornwall had been spending
Sunday witli Miss Bertha .Turret at
Selinsgrove,and was to return to Sun
bury Sunday night.
As no passenger trains are run by
the way of Selinsgrove on Sundays it
was necessary to walk across the rail
road bridge in order to catch the train
for Sunburv at Selinsgrove Junction.
Accordingly Miss Cornwall and Miss
Jarret accompanied by Murray Heider
and Cleveland Kratzer.of Selinsgrove,
started to walk to Selinsgrove .Junc
tion.
When the party arrived at the last
span of the bridge they heard a train
coming in the rear of them and Miss
Jarret and Mr. Kratzer stepped from
the bridge to the pier,a place of safety
Miss Cornwall and Heider believing
that they could reach the other side
before the. train arrived continued ou
and had just about reached the mid
dle of the span when an engine, car
and caboose came bearing down upon
them running at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour.
It is the general belief that the en
gine came in such a swift and sudden
manner that both were terror stricken
and before they could make an effort
to save themselves were struck and
killed.
Several minutes after the train pass
ed when Harry Loutz. the operator at
Selinsgrove Junction,formerly of Sun
bury, was walking to Selinsgrove he
discovered the bodies on the bridge,
both horribly mutilated. The boy had
both legs almost completely severed
from the body and his head was so
badly crushed that the features were
unrecognizable. Miss Cornwall was
also terribly injured,both legs and one
arm broken and partly severed from
the body and crushed about the chest.
The lower part of her face was also
badly bruised but she could easily be
identified. The. body of vouug Heider
was taken to his home at Selinsgrove,
while the remains of Miss Cornwall
were placed on the passenger train and
taken to Sunburv and thence to the un
dertaking parlors of Ives and Hartmau
to be prepared for burial.
Mary Cornwall was aged 23 years, •'»
months and 24 days, and was the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. .1. Corn
wall, both now deceased. She is sur
vived by one brother and two sisters,
Mrs. Charles M. Stack, of Park ton,
Maryland, and Mrs. Isaac Leeser and
Bert Cornwell, both of Sunburv.
Miss Cornwall formerly lived in this
city, being employed until last June
in the laundry at the Hospital. Prior
to being at the Hospital she was em
ployed at the City Hotel.
The deceased was a member of the
East Eud Mission while iu this city.
Murray Heider, had lie lived until
next week would have been 15 years of
age. Mis father is dead and his step
father, Howard H. Kliuger, is a well
known resident of Seliusgrove.
The (lold Mine Was All Right.
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty. It is also the price of several
other things worth having. A number
of heavy stockholders last week found
it to be a quality that stood them in
good stead in protecting their interest
in a well known gold mining Comiwuty
doiug business in this section. It is a
heavy concern involving millions and
naturally the investors became anxious
to learn something of its inner work
ings.
The outcome of it all was that last
week James Scarlet representing a lot
of local people went to New York to
attend one of the Company's meet
ings. He went into the meeting mere
ly as an investor armed with proxy
from the stockholders. The keen and
trained intellect of the attorney
was not idle and before that meeting
broke up there was a revelation.
The General Solicitor and certain of
the officials were apparently endeavor
ing to mislead the stockholders and
absorb the concern. There was nothing
about Mr. Scarlet to suggest the aver
age share holder—submissive and long
suffering. He was too self-assertive ;
too much inclined to ask questions.
In fact it was only a short time, until
he had the books all laid open He
made a thorough investigation of af
fairs and exjmsed the inner workings
of the concern. Before that meeting
adjourned in consequence of the up
heaval a new system was inaugurated
and the stockholders who had feared
that their money was lost, had been
made to realize that any jiossible dis
aster had been averted and that their
investments were as safe as they could
be. Mr. Scarlet has been highly com
plimented by stockholders in different
parts of the country.

(RIVERSIDE'S
OPPORTUNITY
Riverside is looking forward to some
tiling akin to a boom and it must be
admitted that tilings were never more
favorable for ji growth in population
and a corresponding increase in market
values on the South Side. Dan
ville and Sunbury Street Railway has
created the opportunity. The spirit
and the enterprise is there; the citi
zens are alert and will take advantage
of said op]M>rtunity. No big results
are ever achieved without organiza
tion. Therefore our neighbors on the
South Side have formed the Riverside
Industrial and Development Company
capitalized at $20,000. The prime
movers in the enterprise are: Eli
Hoover, W. T. Shepperson, W. R.
Clark and Dr. A. T. DeWitt. Stock
i.» fixed at $ 1 jK'r share and as soon as
the full amount of capital stock is sub
scribed a permanent organization will
be effected, the above named gentlemen
becoming the tirst board o;' directors.
A. B. Pituer is acting as solicitor for
stock for the new company.
The first object of the Industrial and
Development Company will be to pur
chase the Van Nostrand farm and cut
it np into city lots, fifty f<H3t by one
hundred and fifty feet. The Danville
and Sunbury Street Railway runs
along one side of the farm and it is
held that no finer building sites on
the South Side will be found than are
included in the Van Nostraud farm.
The promoters are also striving hard
to land several new industries of the
smaller sort on the South Side. One
of these, which they will be pretty
likely to laud, is a foundry, suitable
for the larger of the disused buildings
belonging to the brick manufacturing
plant at the lower end of Riverside.
Train Boy Eliminated.
The newsboy on the train who tries
to sell you newspapers, fruit, confec
tionery. magazines and all sorts of
novelties and gimcracks is now but a
memory. Long ago ho was eliminat
ed from the main line of the Pennsyl
vania railroad, and now its two prin
cipal feeders, the Philadelphia and
Erie and the Northern Central, have
given thy word that the train agent
must go,and he made his last trip Sat
urday night as far north as Erie,on the
P. & E., and Canandaigua on the
Northern Central, and as far South as
Baltimore on the Northern Central.
No more will the resonant crying of
iiis wares he heard on tlie fast flyers,
the mails,the expresses and the locals.
His shrill voice will no longer cry out
a warning to the passengers that lie is
coming with "Mo'nin' papez! All the
lates' maggyzeens! Fresh Figs! Fine
confeckshunery and nigh seat in ap
pluz!" The latter presumably "nice
eating apples "
On Saturday night as each man pass
ed through the headquarters city he
was informed that after Sunday even
ing his services would no longer be re
quired. To some it was a stunning
blow, for they have grown gray in the
service,and do not know where to look
for employment. There was not a hint
that the blow was about to fall. They
were simply told that they were no
longer wanted.
Among those who felt the axe were
"Sawdust Jimmy" Kelly,a train news
agent for thirty-five years, first in the
employ of Riley & Sargent and then
with the Union News Company, which
controls the privilege of selling at sta
tions and heretofore on trains.
It is said that the abolition of the
free passes is directly responsible for
the abolition of the train ageut. The
latter was not a railroad employe au<l
the news company was notified that it
must pay fare for him. That was
something that caused a monetary loss
to the news company, and the result
was that the news agents had to go.
It is sad ! In time he was a king of
the train and bossed the conductor.
He goes with the free pass.
Session Will End February 10.
If plans now contemplated are carri
ed out tiie present extra session of the
Legislature will be the shortest on rec
ord. Some time next week a concur
rent resolution will be introduced in
the House providing for final adjourn
ment on February 10th.
This will make the session just
twenty-six days in length.
From now on every effort will be
made to clear up legislation called for
by the Governor, and he is to be con
sulted on all bills. As this is the Gov
ernor's Legislature the legislators say
he shall have the glory of running it.
The Governor is anxious for a short
session. He has a number of import
ant affairs to attend to that be cannot
do with a Legislature on his hands,
and the sooner final adjournment comes
the better the Governor will be suit
ed. February 10th gives time for hear
ings on all the bills, and plenty of
time for their consideration by both
branches.

BLASTING MUSES
BIAW
A horse attached to J. B. Cleaver's
delivery wagon took fright at the
sound of blasting at the Bessemer blast
furnace on Saturday and managed to
separate himself from the vehicle in
record-breaking time.
The wagon was on Railroad street
just opposite the wide gateway lead
ing into the Structural Tubing Works,
when an unusually loud blast occurred,
which struck the beast with terror.
The driver was unsuspecting and the
horse crouching first, gave a spring
with such force and suddenness as to
rip the harness asunder and to clear
the shafts, at a single bound, after
which in his fright he went galloping
out Railroad street at doubtless the
best rate of speed he ever attained.
The mud on Railroad street at the
Structural Tubing Works Saturday was
something fearful to contemplate, a
black slough more the consistency of
water than mud, which like a bed of
mortar lay between the two sidewalks.
Stranded in the midst of this was the
delivery wagon with the driver still
sitting on the seat watching the re
treating horse with the broken harness
like so many ribbons fluttering around
him and the mud flying right and left.
The whole thing occurred in a mo
ment and it was some time before the
driver could take in the situation;
then he climbed down out of the wag
on into the mud, which was over ankle
deep. Meanwhile the horse was caught
near the clock factory.
The swingle tree of the delivery
wagon was broken and it was not uu
til after a good deal of delay and much
wading around in the mud that the
horse was reliitched and the wagon
drawn from the sjjot.
A Hunters Good Memory.
A little group of old timers, kind
red spirits, who love to dwell on the
past, were seated in M. H. Schrani's
store the other evening. As usual their
thoughts ran back ov. r by -gone days.
Many curious stoiies were told. One
of these was caught on the fly by a
News scribe and in an abbreviated form
is here presented as a sample of all the
others.
Oscar Mellin had the floor aud he
related an odd circumstance to illus
trate how an unfailing memory may be
relied upon to help one out in many
an emergency. It was -ixteen years
ago. Oscar said, he was out bunting
on rhe other side of the river. While
tramping through one of the hollows
below Kipp's Run he discovered to his
horror that he had lost his tobacco.
In the successful pursuit of game with
Oscar plenty of tobacco was as esseutial
as powder and shot for the fowling
piece.
The man was thinking seriously of
giving tip the hunt when he heard a
farmer ploughing in one of the fields
nearby. He made his way out of the
brush and approaching the farmer made
his plight known. Now, no matter
what kind of a man a tobacco chewer
may be he is always liberal—with his
tobacco. Tiie farmerJh.ad a large plug,
which he handed to Oscar. The latter
bit off a good mouthful and before re
turning the tobacco offered to buy the
whole plug. There was no store near
and the farmer could no more plough
without tobacco than Oscar could
shoot squirrels without it; under the
circumstance the weed was as dear to
the agriculturist as it was to Oscar
and money was no price.
The best that Oscar could do was to
oconoinize his mouthful of tobacco and
pursue game as long as it lasted. For
awhile he had good luck, then as all
the stimulating qualities became ex
tracted from the mouthful of tobacco
lie lost his cunning and no more game
came his way.
He gave up finally and decided togo
home. Tramping along toward town
lie came to Alem Sechler's hollow at
Kipp's Run. Here Oscar's good mem
ory came to his rescue. The sight of
the familiar hollow reminded him of
another hunting excursion uiue years
before when lie was accompanied by
half a dozen or more companions. He
remembered that the party partook of
a lunch iu the hollow—at a point
where one of the sides of the glen was
formed of a solid wall of rock which
leaned inward over the creek forming
a shelter. What Oscar recalled with es
pecial iuterest was the fact that after
the lunch the party being suddenly
called to the hunt threw away their
cigars, none of which were much
more than half smoked. Oscar, who
was always economically inclined,did
not like to see the waste and merely as
a whim gathered up the half-smoked
cigars from the ground and securely
tucked them away iu a cleft of the ov
erhanging rock where they were high
and dry. He thought nothing more
about them until he recalled the ep
isode on the second hunting trip.
What if the cigars still remained in
their hiding place? It took him only
a minute to find out. A brief search
revealed the exact spot where the party
had eaten lunch. The overhanging
rock was there and there, too, was the
cleft. Oscar inserted his hand and ;is
good luck would have it there were
the cigars, or fragments ol'Jcigars,just
as they were deposited there nine years
before.
Oscar didn't go home —not right
away. He continued his hunt, tramp
ing up and down the hollow and over
tiie fields on each side. Meanwhile he
chewed the cigars,which with age had
increased wonderfully in potency and

Report of critic.
The (iodcharles Senatorial Bill.
The Harrisburg Independent says:
Senator Godcharles, of Northumber
land county, has prepared a senatorial
apportionment bill, which lias not yet
been made public, iu which he makes
compact and contiguous districts with
out cutting into any of the counties.
Tlieio is a strong disposition on the
part of a number of senators to op
pose the senatorial apportionment bill
prepared by Governor Pennypacker,
and introduced by Senator Roberts,
and before the governor's bill gets by
the senate —if it ever does—it will
meet with lots of hard knocks. Al
ready the Democrats of Berks county
have taken measures to prevent a part
of the county from being attached to
Chester to form a district, and the
Berks county Democratic committee is
taking measures to contest the con
stitutionality of such a bill iu the
courts, announcing that they will go
clear up to the higher courts if neces
sary.
Election of Supervisors.
Iu some townships a wrong impres
sion prevails concerning the new sup
ervisors law. Some people erroneously
maintain that two supervisors will be
elected under the old laws unless the
township votes to change to a money
tax. The people are wrong. Three
supervisors must be elected iu Feb
ruary, whether you retain the old work
and money tax or whetherjyou vote to
change to a money tax. You have no
choice in this matter. That law is
mandatory and you must elect three
supervisors.
Entertained Party From Sunbury

her home iu Rushtown, Friday even

SCHOUL BOARD
SUSTAINED
A verv important question, which
during tlie past several years, has on a
number of occasions puzzled the local
School Board, has been definitely and
quite justly decided for the local auth
orities by the State Department of
Health in a communication recently
received by Borough Superintendent
Gorily from the office of Commissioner
of Health, Samuel G. Dixou, M. D.
The point upon which the opinion
was rendered was, to use the words of
Mr. Gordv's letter, whether or not
"pupils who leave home just before
the development of a contagious dis
ease, for the purpose of attending
school, must remain away :i0 days fid
lowing the fumigation of the house. "
This point is not definitely covered by
the school laws, and frequent demands
have been made by parents, especially
of late, that their children be allowed
to attend the public schools when they
have returned to their homes within
the 80 days after fumigation.
At the last meeting of the Board on
January Bth, it was decided not to al
low pupils to attend school during the
30 days following fumigation. Vigor
ous exceptions were takeu to this rul
ing, the claim being made that chil
dren should be allowed to return home
immediately after the fumigation,and
attend school from there. As a con
sequence Superintendent Gordy was
directed to get the opinion of the State
Department of Health. %
In reply to Mr. Gordy's letter of
query the following communication
has been received from Harrisburg :
Mr. U. L. Gordy, Supt.
Danville Public Schools,
Danville, Pa.
Dear Sir:—Your esteemed favor of
the 15th inst., relative to school ex
clusions in contagious diseases is re
ceived with thanks.
Your attitude in refusing admission
to school of pupils who would return
to recently infected houses prior to the
lapse of :?f> days after disinfection of
the premises is entirely satisfactory.
It is hard to conceive the motive of
pupils leaving home just before, the
development of a contagious disease in
a family.for with the presence of sym
ptoms that are suggestive of disease to
the householders is it not obvious that
the members of that household had
been exposed to the infection? Hav
ing been exposed they should not leave
home or be permitted to leave home
prior to the expiration of the period
of quarantine and as the law requires,
not to attend school prior to the ex
piration of the thirty days after the
recovery of the patient and the disin
fection of the premises.
Thanking you for your interest in
the matter I beg to remain, etc.,
FRED. C. JOHNSON,
Chief Medical Inspector.
To Protect the Quail.
The thorough restocking of game
covers is urged iu a report issued by
the Department of Agriculture on
"game conditions iu January."
Now that the huntiug season is prac
tically over, the rejiort says, the
Biological Survey suggests that efforts
be directed towards insuring more ef
fective protection of game and an ad
equate supply for the future. Owing
to the non-migratory character of quail
and the consequent depletion of var
ious localities where hunting has been
excessive,or the birds have been killed
off by the severity of the past two
winters, restocking is frequently neces
sary ; but the demand for live birds for
this purpose far exceeds the available
supply. The difficulty is augmented
by the fact that southern birds are
scarcely hardy enough to stand north
ern winters, and hence it is difficult
for northern States to secure birds
suited to the climate. The game com
missioners of some States, particularly
Massachusetts and New Jersey for sev
eral years past have endeavored to ob
tain a supply of quail, but have been
only partially successful.
Perceiving that absence of food and
shelter is the principal cause of mort
ality, State officials,game associations
and many private individuals have
united in attempting to make good
these deficiencies. Grain and other
food have been distributed freely and
systematically after heavy snow falls,
when the usual food is covered, and
suitable shelter has been provided.
Rural Mail Routes.
The total pieces of mail handled on
the 33.000 rural routes in the United
States during the fiscal year which
ended June 30,1905, reached the enorm
ous total of I,ooo.ooo,oooo,according to
a statement just made public. Of this
amount of mai1,775,639,261 pieces were
newspapers and periodicals; letters and
postal cards numbered 462,124.000
pieces; circulars, 121,701,000 pieces;
packages, 26,234,363 pieces, and regis
tered mail, 1,257.822 pieces, a grand
total of 1,387,000,000 pieces. Mail to
the number of 1,209,000,000 were de
livered and 177,261,511 pieces were col
lected.
The value of the stamps sold on the
rural routes in the 12 months was #3,-
438,471, and money orders representing
a value of more than |3,000,000 were
purchased. The total amount paid the
32.055 carriers during the fiscal year
was $10,293,590.91.
The total value of cancellations on
mail originating on rural routes, dur
ing the fiscal year was *3.421,057.01,
aud, deducting this amount from the
amount paid carriers tor that year was
$16,571,733.90.

ALL LICENSES
ME GRANTED
Applications for licenses in the coun
ty covering hotels, restaurants, brew
eries and wholesale liquor stores were
passed upon [by Court Friday and
without any exception were granted.
There was little formality or delay
about it. Court convened at 10 o'clock
with His Honor Judge Little and As
sociates Blee and Wagner on the bench ;
it was only a few minutes after 11
o clock when all business was disposed
of and Court arose.
The batch of forty applications were
handed to the court, who in answer
to a question were informed that no re
monstrances had been presented and
that each application as required by
law was represented by an attorney.
The Court read over the list later mak
ing the announcement that each ap
plication would be granted as read
subject to approval of bond.
Judge Little explained that the re
cent order of court fixing the hour of
ojieuing and closing the drinking
places of the county had caused some
dissatisfaction, in certain directions,
especially among the employes of the
rolling mills and lie was of the opin
ion that it might have to be modified
somewhat. He suggested that the As
sociates appoint a committee who
should investigate conditions and at
the next term of Court make a report
as to their views in the premises.
His Honor left the bench and re
turning in a few minutes with ap
parently different views as to the pro
cedure announced that the Order of
Court heretofore relating to the open
ing and closing of the drinking places
would be modified and that hereafter
the hour of opening would be at 4 a.
m. instead of at 6 a. m., while the
hour of closing would remain accord
ingly to the order, 12 o'clock, mid
night.
The above modification of Judge
Staples' order pretty generally meets
the approval of the hotel keepers.
There are still some who do not like
the idea of closing at 12 o'clock,claim
ing that it is impracticable and causes
embarrassment when sleighing parties
and the like are entertained as is pretty
sure to happen during the winter sea
son. These functions do not always
break up at midnight,yet at 12 o'clock
the landlord is obliged to close his
bar.
