CUm DETECTIVE HOBS SUCCESSFUL There if quite an interesting detec tive story befng told in Suiibury and if all the detail- are true the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Nick Carter are equalled.|if not surpassed. Fnim what lias been learned several years ago an officer in tlie I. nited States Army, at thatjtime located iu the Philippines, suddenly deserted while under arrest for stealing a large PUIU of money and also charged with a number of other crimes, some of them of a very serious nature. Owing to the man's many had deeds and the manner in which he so easily escaped the United States Government was very anxious to apprehend him. Es pecially anxious was present Secre tary of War Taft. who at the time was Governor General of the Philippines and who desired that the erring officer should be severely punished. Mr Taft gave special instructions that no effort should lie spared in try lug to capture him and the case was placed in charge of one of the best de tectives in the Secret Service. The well known sleuth immediately took up the caoe and the chase after the fel low was soon a merry one. Ho was traced to this country but realizing that he was being closely pursued he managed to elude the detective on numerous occasions. He was located at different places, but always managed to get away before his arrest could be made. Finally after a search through the anthracite coal regions of this State it was learned that the fellow was some where iu this section and when the detective picked up the clue he visited the towns in this neighbor hood. When all trace of him was again was believed that he had been in Sunbury and was possibly still there. The detective soon went to Sun bury and decided to make a thorough •earcli. Securing employment 011 a delivery wagon he kept a careful watch and lielieved that lie was on the right track. He later secured several other different positions iu Sunbury and at last finally spotted his man who was working for the Pennsylvania Rail road Company. Dogging his every move he was convinced that he had the right party and Monday last week the arrest was made and the man was taken to Buffalo, New York. The de tective kept very quiet while in Sun bury and it was not uutil he was sure of his man that he told anything con crening the case. Even then he wai very reticent but before leaving Sun bury stated that tho man committed s< many crimes and of such a serious na tare that if given the limit lie coult be sent to prison for ninety-four years More of the derails concerning tin story will likely be learned later.

Scores of sleds loaded wit! lime were driven through this cit; yesterday 011 their way home from tin kilns. Farmers who fiave lime to hau each winter are very anxious to sci snow,as without it the roads are prett; ■uro to be bad, when the transportatioi of lime becomes a serious problem Comparatively little lime up to th< present had been hauled this wintc owing to the bad roads, most fanner postponing the work hoping for a fal of snow. Yesterday morning they started ou in gopd earnest not a few driviu; many miles, from Hush and Gearhar townships to County Commissioner C W. Cook's kilns in Valley township Naturally when there is such a rush a now there is a great congestion of sled about the kilns and except for tliosi who arrive early there is n long am tedious wait in store. To obviate tin delay many of the farmers get up a early as two or three o'clock in tin morning and start for the kiln in tin hope that they may be among the firs to arrive. It frequently happens, how ever,that the farni»rs are all early am then the qnestion whose sled shall b loaded first is decided by the order o arrival. Patience and good humor gen erally prevail at the kiln,and altliougl It causes long hours and long interval between meals, yet hauling lime i work that by no means is disliked b; the young farmers. All that is desire, is plenty of snow. Patients linj'iy Slelghrlde. The deep snow Friday with the fin sleighing that followed has brough the usual amount of good cheer aiu pleasure into the lives of the patient at the Hospital for the Insane, a num ber of whom on Saturday were treatee to their first sleigh ride of tho season Over seventy patients, all female were taken out at one time Five larg< sleds belonging to the farm were em ployed, each driven by a farm hand Each sled contained twelve to lifteei petients and with the number one lad; attendant. The sleigh ride included a trip oir over the State highway to Funster macher's corner and back. The pati ants were delighted, the most of them giving expression to their pleasure bj much jolly talk and laughter. Tliej were warmly clothed and snugly wrap ped np in blankets so that none ol them seemed to suffer from the cold. It was a great relief to the unfortunatf people, who ever since winter set in have for the most of tho time been confined behind gloomy walls. Approaching Wedding. Invitations have been issued to the wedding of Miss Harriet A. Straub, danghter of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Btraub,Ferry street,and John William Settle. The ceremony will fake place Friday, Maroh Snd.at the home of the hrida'i parant*. KOPECS OFFERED $35,000 Paving of streets amounting to #!•"»,- 000 to he commenced in live years was offered Nescopeck Council Friday even ing by the Columbia and Montour Electric Railway Company and A. C. Sickles in turn offered #20,000 at once in gold for a franchise to enter that town or to duplicate the paving offer of the Columbia A Montour. Nescopeck Council in order tom ike their harvest as suggested by trolley representatives aske I the compauiesto put a bond of $20,000 as a guarantee that they would comply with an ordin ance drwau up with these conditions giving the assurance that Council will decide in favor of one or the other companies within twenty-four hours after the bonds have been filed. Adjournment was taken until Fri day, February 2:?. or, should the com panies be ready in the interim a speci al meeting will be called at once. The session was the most stormy of any since the trolley fight lias been in progress and at times the meeting was in an uproar. The citizens who crowd ed the hall voiced their sentiments in cheering or remarks of derision and President Kishbaugh repeatedly called the session to order. With this was also the fiery arguments of the trolley counsel, in which the lie was passed. The turn in the situation was as amazing and startling as it was unex pected. Birthday Surprise Party. A birthday surprise party was giv en Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Beyer at their home in Valley township, Thursday, in honor of their Mtli and 67th birth days. Many presents were received.

T. Suter. Al- ! though an out-of-town resident lie ' tills an important niche in Trinity M. j E. church and takes an active part in i the social life of our town. If anv one should accompany Mr. Suter to his home at Sunny side farm. Riverside Heights, he will find evidence of a whole lot of enterprise; ht> will lie charmed with the order and arrange ment of things and will see in the de velopment that is proceeding along clearly defined lines infinite possibil ites for the future. Indeed taking in to accouut the owner's grit and enter prise he will be apt to wonder how long it will be before Sunnyside and its companion farm, Rosemont, will blossom forth into one of the most beautiful private domains in the coun try. On Saturday afternoon the writer accompanied Mr. Suter on a drive ov er his two farms. Sunnyside although out of sight from South Danville and Riverside lies only a short distance be yond and is very easy of access. A long lane or roadway branching off from the main highway a short dist ance beyond the Torrenee homestead leads in a south-easterly direction up to the summit of a mound-like eleva tion clothed with timber,on the "sun nyside" of which reposes Mr. Suter's little farm of eighteen acres. From the summit of the heights down to the buildings the roail on the left is skirted bv timber; on the right is an unbroken line of fruit trees, of all descriptions, many still young, but some old enough to yield fruit. On every side are evidences of thrift and wise forethought—a foundation 011 which greater things may be built. The cozy residence is the central figure. Near by is a large windmill accompanied by an immense tank. In the picturesque ravine below the build ings i> a never-failing stream of wat er, which feeds a large ice pond and in which a hydraulic ram i» installed to re-enforce^he windmill in its work of keeping up the water supply. One of the first things to attract the visitor is a large apiary; the next is a system of cold frames where under the warm sun of the protected hillside many thousand plants of lettuce, re cently set cut, are beginning to grow nicely. Last year Mr. Suter's bees produced one and one-half tons of honey, which in the market netted him some four hundred dollars. This year his apiary is somewhat reduced, there being but forty hives anrl the product has fallen probably to nearly a ton. a quantity, which will nevertheless net the owner some three hundred dollars. A feature of Mr. Suter's gardening, which in a real novelty in this section, is the establishment of a rhubarb cel lar, whi -h is in a most flourishing con dition. Here in a green house artifi cially heated, which instead of being protected by glass is wholly covered over by earth and in which it is as dark as the darkest night, many thou sands of stalks of rhubarb are grow ing. The cellar conditions are such as to cause the rank fleshy leafstalks to grow with twice the rapidity attained when cultivated in season out of doors. The rhubarb bears the apj)carauee of growing in the dark,but it lacks noth ing in flavor and is a better product in many respects. Mr. Suter's fine Holstein cattle are the real charm of Sunnyside. There are ten head of them in all.four being milch cows. A visit to Mr. Suter's dairy would be a profitable object les son for many other dairymen, who might wish to learn how much could be done for the welfare of cattle and to keep the milk produced clean and pure. The cattle in Mr. Suter's stable are curried and they looked as sleek and well kept as the hortles. What is more—and is an example that every dairyman might follow with advant age—before being milked each cow's udder is thoroughly washed with warm water. The rich milk, thoroughly clean, i> taken to the cellar where a Cooley Creamery—a scientific and mod era invention—aids in its preserva tion until it is brought over to towt and dispensed at our curb stone mark et. Among the fine Ho lutein cows ai Sunnyside are two great granddaugh ters of DeKol 11, whose record was thirty-three pound, six ounces of but ter in seven days. The two grand daughters at Sunnyside are sustaining the family record very nicely,onehav ing a record of eighteen quarts am the other twenty quarts of milk,daily The Yellow Fever derm has recently been discovered.
