MONTOUR AMERICAN c RANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., riar. I. 1906. SAN JOSE SCALE TO BE ERADICATED Professor H. A. Surface, State Econ omic Zoologist, is now instructing a class of twenty-seven on the best me thods of killing noxious insects. His class consists of men from all parts of the state, many of them are college graduates,many of them are quite old, and all are experienced in the culture of orchards and the problems which necessarily arise in the pursuance of such work. Professor Surface is not dealing with unskilled pupils, but is taking intel ligent farmers, and gardeners and is showing them the very best method of eradicating the Sail Jose scale. Yes terday afternoon the entire class went to the orchard of S. S. Rupp, in Shire manstown, and sprayed the trees in Mr. Rupp's orchard with the lime sulphur preparation which Professor Surface has found far sujterior to any thing else which has been tried any where. The class yesterday afternoon went through the entire work of mea suring, boiling and spraying the prep aration. The latest bulletins which Professor Surface has received from California show that this lime-sulphur process is being used on the Pacific coast with most successful results. The entire State has been divided in to twenty-seven districts and one of the pupils in Professor Surface's class will be assigned to each district. With the knowledge anil drill which they can take among the farmers of Pennsylvania it seems most probable that the San Jose scale will be entire ly eradicated this year. If it is not destroyed it will be through indolence or through a lack of interest. A demonstration will be given today at the north end of the capitol, within the enclosure. The gates will be open so that any who wish to see the de monstration may enter. A number of people from Philadelphia and other distant points came to Harrisburg yes terday to witness the demonstration which was given at Shiremanstown. This demonstration will be duplicated in every particular today when the trees in the capitol park are sprayed and all who wish may be present.

When the passenger train on the Pennsy from Harrisburg arrived at the Sunbury station, yesterday afternoon a large rooster was found edged fast in the lattice work of the cowcatcher of the engine. The fowl was rescued and was found to be alive and in good condition with the exception of a froz en comb. Just how the rooster got on the engine is not known hut it must have been caught while trying to es cape being run down by the train. (lave a Concert for Patients. The Crusade Commandery Quartette of Bloomsburg, gave a concert at the hospital for the insane Tuesday even ing for the entertainment of the in mates. The quartette was assisted by Miss Elsie Hicks, pianist ; Miss Vol rath, soloist, and Miss Swartz. A large number of popular selections were ably rendered, and all was very much ap preciated by the audience. The latter applauded only at the proper time,and acted in a very orderly manner. Better Raid Teachers. Superintendent Schaeffer's report shows that the wages of school teach ers in this State have increased as compared with last year. That show ing will please everybody, for a i a rule the teachers are underpaid FEBRUARY COURT PROCEEDING fContinued from First Page I the case of Commonwealth vs. Peter , Dietrich, charging murder. District Attorney Gear hart explain ed to the court that he had a bill against Edward Burns charging him ! with aggravated assault and battery, but that the prosecutrix in the case had failed to appear. Inasmuch as there were two other witnesses the court ordered that the bill be sent to the grand jury and directed that body to act upon it and immediately after wards to examine the public buildings returning to the court room with their finding in the bill and their regular report at 4 o'clock. At 4 o'clock the grand jury return ed a tru<* bill in the case of Cmmou wealth vs. Edward Burns and present ed its report as to the condition of the public buildings. After this the grand jury was discharged and court adjourn ed to reconvene at 10 o'clock this morning, when the ease against Diet rich was to have gone on trial. Soon after adjournment the news reached Danville that Judge Little was dead. This threw all plans into con fusion and it was hard to tell what effect it might have on the further conduct of court. Judge Staples in formed a News representative that at 10 o'clock this morning out of respect to the memory of Judge Little court would adjourn. Meanwhile the Sheriff was instructed to notify as many of the traverse jurors as he could reach of what had occurred and request them not to appear this morning. Those who can not be reached by telephone or otherwise and come into town ex pecting to serve will receive their pav for the day. What further p'an may be adopted in the premises will be made known this morning, but there seems to be little doubt but that court will be called off indefinitely, pend ing the appointment of a new Judge. February court adjourned Tuesday morning and the trial of the Dietrich case and all matters pertaining to the regular term goes over until May. Court convened at 10 o'clock a. m. with His Honor Judge Staples, and Associates Blee and Wagner ou the bench. Court sat but a few minutes, mere ly long enough for Judge Staples to make the following announcement: "It becomes our painful duty to an nounce the death of Hon. Robert R. Little, President Judge of this dis trict. "God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to end his labors in this world and to take him to that bourne from which no traveler ever returns. Out of respect to his memory this court stands adjourned." On Thursday of next week, March Bth, the rule to show cause why a re ceiver should not be appointed in the case of the Danville & Sunbury Street Railway Company will be argued he fore Judge Staples at this city. Be yond this, it seems, no provision can be mpde for disposing of any of the important matters before court and all are awaiting the appointment of a Judge to succeed Hon. R. R. Little in this district. District Attorney C. P. Gearhart yesterday stated that the two cases—Commonwealth vs. Peter Diet rich and Commonwealth vs. Edward Burns—in which true bills have been found, cannot come up for trial before the next regular term, which is in Mav. It was quite 5 o'clock Monday even ing before Sheriff George Maiers was apprised of Judge Little's death—that owing to this fact court would adjourn and that it would devolve upon him to get word to the traverse jurors"in ord er to prevent them from coming into court yesterday. That he must have done some lively hustling is attested by the noteworthy fact that of the sixty jurors drawn he reached all but seven and these appeared at the court house yesterday morning and were paid for the day. When it is explain ed that the jurors receive two dollars per day and mileage the considerable item saved to the county by the Sher iff's quick action in serving notice at once becomes apparent. He had prac tically the whole county to cover and only a few hour's time in which to ac complish his task. It was another fine illustration showing the usefulness aud the efficacy of the rural telephone, which aided very much in getting the uews abroad. ir IS SERIOUS.

EVANGELICAL" CONFERENCE The first meeting in connection with the twelfth annual session of the Cen tral Pennsylvania conference of the United Evangelical church was held in the Milton church on Lower Market street Tuesday evening when the board of examiners, of which the pastor, Rev J. I). Shortess is president and Rev. D. F. Young of Nescopeck,, is secretary, held a business session. At ! this time the five different classes took examination in church polity. The examinations continued yester day morning and afternoon. Last even ing at seven o'clock the first public service was held. There are one hun dred and thirty-six ministers and ninety-two lay delegates in the confer ence CARITOL SOON READY FOR USE HARRISBURG, Feb. 28. Just as soou as the workiugmen get out of tlie capitol, and oulv the decorators are left to finish the work of ornamenta tiou, Superintendent of Public Build ings and Grounds Shumaker will he gin the work of cleaning the building, carting out the debris, placing the floor coverings and putting in the fur niture. After all this lias been done will come the work of installing the differ ent departments in the new edifice that have for several years heen from under the capital's dome. GOVERNOR IN SOI'TH WING. The executive department, attorney general's department, State depart ment, State treasury,auditor general's department, all now in the executive building, will be transferred to the south wing of the capitol, next to the present executive building. The school department, in the south wing, will remain where it is,and the department of public buildings and grounds will be transferred to the front of the main building, to the left of the main en trance, opposite to where Senate Lib rarian Miller is now located, on the first floor. The state police department ami the state health department will lie sent to the north wing, and there will be located the department of internal affairs, the adjutant general's depart ment, the agricultural department, the highway department,the insurance de partment and the department of public printing. SOME LOCATIONS NOT DECIDED. As yet the locations of the state economic zoologist, the state game de partment, the state fish department, the soldiers' orphans scho >1 depart ment and the rooms of the house resi dent clerk have not been determined upon, and it is one of the problems that confront Superintendent Shumak er. However, he is an executive gen ius, and he will see that all are suit ably settled in comfortable quarters before hot weather sets in. The legislative correspondent's as sociation will occupy one of the low er compartments in the north wing over looking the Italian which it is proposed to make part of the land scape decorative scheme. The last governor to move his quart ers was Governor Patfison in 1904, when he moved from the dingy rooms in the old north building to the com paratively comfortable rooms now oc cupied by Governor Peunypacker. Just what will lie done with the pre sent executive building is a problem, but it is probable that it will be con verted into a museum and place for the flags, t lie present flag room being con sidered very inadequate for its purpose. r \» iltr One Huuiireil Potiars llewuro 112 > in; r i.sc of Catarrh »> *• can o»>t lie i'Uri-(1 by Hail's Catarrh ( 'art?.

Michael Gallagher, son of Edward Gallagher,steward of the Conynghatn- Centralia poor house,located in Locust township, Columbia county, fell be neath the wheels of a wagon loaded with a ton of coal, the front and rear wheels passing over him, fracturing the sternum, or breast bone, and four ribs on the right side, the accident oc curing Tuesday evening. The boy who is only seven years of age, had run from his home to meet the poor farm wagon, driven by one of the employes,aud loaded with coal, meeting it about an eighth of a mile from his home. The wagon was mov ing slowly when the lad attempted to step on it. In doing so he slipped iu front of the front wheel. This passed over his body as did the rear wheel. He was picked up unconscious aud did not regain consciousness until after he had been taken home. Dr. Wintersteen, of Xumidia, was summoned and arriving at the stew ard's home found the sternum had been fractured, together with the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh ribs on the right side. As yet it is impossible to state whether the lad sustained any in ternal injuries, no symptom of such having as yet, however,been manifest ed. It is not expected that the appoint ment of a successor to President Judge K. R. Little will be made any more this week. Governor Pennypacker leaves this moining for Pittsburg and will not return to Harrisburg until Saturday. It is stated oil the best of authority and by one who was in consultation with Governor Pennypacker yesterday that the man who will be Judge Lit tle's successor will be a Republican Savidge--Yocum. Miss Idella Savidge and Curtis E. Yocum both of this city, were united in marriage yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock by the Rev. M. L. Shindel.D. I)., at the Pine Street Lutheran par sonage. They left on the 9:00 o'clock train on a wedding tour to Shamokin, Mahanoy City and other points in the East,after which they will make their home in Pittsburg where the groom has a position awaiting him.

Predictions of an early spring now have the right of way | BIRD JOURNEYS. ■ I ■mull Aniimil* Often Travel on the Hai-kn of Ijirßf On en. It has often been asked how small awl weak birds manage to fly such enormous distances when migrating. As a rule, however, small birds that have eon io very far across the sea have not tlown. but have been blown over during violent gales, and many of them arrive 011 land in a half dead condition. In fair weather small birds make loi'g journeys successfully over con siderable tracts of ocean, but the rea son is that they are carried on the bucks of the larger ones. When pass ing an autumn in Crete a writer as serts that he distinctly heard the twit tering of small birds when tlocks of sand cranes were passing overhead on their way to southern shores. On an other occasion, when tiring a gun, he saw three small birds rise from the tlock and disappear again among the cranes. A native prie assured him that they came over from Europe with them, while it lias been found that small birds, never before seen In certain parts, have been brought thith er at times of migration. Another cause is that small birds do not make their journeys in one flight. They generally rest during the day, searching for food, and thus proceed to their destination by easy stages.

The bi.'i man of genuiue sort rarely looked the |.art assigned to him in the popular imagination. The long haired blusterer, adorned with a dialect that uever was spoken, serves very well in eastern fiction about the west, but that is not the real thing. The most danger ous man was apt to he quiet and smooth spoken. When an antagonist blustered and threatened, the most dangerous bad man only felt rising in his own soul, keen and stern, that strange exultation which often comes with combat for the man naturally brave. A western officer of established reputation once said to me while speak ing of a personal difficulty Into which Le had been forced: "1 hadn't been ia anything of that sort for years, and I wished 1 was out of It. Then I said to myself, "Is it true that you are getting old and have lost your nerveV Then all at once the old feeling came over me, and I was just like I used to be. I felt calm and happy, and 1 laughed aft er that. 1 jerked my gun and shoved It into lils stomach. He put up his hands and apologized.

There are dogs in New York that never set foot on the street.

(n«liiMii'>- of the Darren, Duat) Des erts of South America. In his ''Commercial Traveler In South America" Frank Wiborg writes: "We stopped at i number of the nitrate towns- Pisagua. Iquique, Autofagasta —and 1 visited some of the mills, or otticimss, in order to see something of the industry Deposits of the crude nitrate of soda, called here 'caliche,' are found in the pampa, or rolling pla teau. beyond the first range of foot hills. in some places this plateau Is but ten miles from the coast, in others »s far as fifty miles. The pampa Is an utterly barren desert. On the surface there is nothing to tempt the heart of man, but a few feet down lies the nl- stratum. This presents much the fif»pea ranee of rock salt and varies in Color, according to the purity of the deposit, from a whitish tint to a dark gray. The upper earth is blown away with dynamite, and then the caliche Is dug out with pick and shovel, loaded on iron carts and carried up.to the mills. "Here the caliche is first broken Into small pieces by heavy crushers and then put into large boiling vats. Inside these vats are coils of steam pipes, by means of which the temperature can be regulated accurately. Sea water Is poured in, and the caliche is boiled for a certain time. The liquid solution that results is drawn off into settling vats, which are exposed to the open air and the sun. Evaporation is rapid, and the pure nitrate of soda soon begins crys tallizing and settling to the bottom. After Hiis has gone on for some time the remaining liquid is drawn off and the crust of nitrate is scraped from the sides and bottom of the vat and thor ough);. dried in the sun. Then It Is graded according to quality and packed fur shipment in IHO pound sacks. "Most of the nitrate exported is used as a fertilizer, but a part goes to the manufacture of powder and high ex plosives. The nitrate towns are even barer and filler and less inviting than most of the other bare, dry towns of the coast. To some of them fresh wa ter is brought in pipes from a distance of more than H>t> miles. Before the day of these pipes It used to be sold in the streets by tiie gallon. That water even now, though not scarce, yet is not plen tiful, is perhaps some excuse for the awful dust that blows everywhere." THE DEVIL'S CODE. Lesreticl of 2i Mouk, Sntun anil it t|nlck Nittlit'x Work. Stockholm's public library contains a wonderful work which Is called "The Devil's Code" and which. In addition to its extraordinary name, Is said to be the biggest manuscript in the world. Every letter is most beautifully drawn, and the magnitude of the work is so great that it -coins impossible for any single monk to have done it. The story of the origin of the manu script. however, not only gives It as the work of one man, but aiso states It to be the work of a single night. The story runs as follows: "A poor monk had been condemned to death, but was told mockingly by his judges that if he was able to copy the whole 'Code' between darkness and dawn he would be saved. Relying up on the impossibility of the task, those who sentenced him furnished him with the original copy of the 'Code,' with pen. ink anil parchment, and left him. "Death must have been as little liked In the middle ages as it is now, for the monk, forgetting the hopelessness of his task, commenced It. Before long, however, he saw that he could not save his own life by such weak exertions, and, fearing a cruel and horrible death, he Invoked the aid of the prince of darkness, promising to surrender his soul If he were assisted In the task. "Ihe devil kindly obliged by appear ing on the spot, accepted the contract and sat down to the work, and next morning The Devil's Code' was finish ed, the lm.nk being found dead. The copying clerk from the Infernal re gions presumably fled away with the poor man's soul as soon as the wicked compact was finished." Pearson's Weekly. OUR LANGUAGE.

With in the past few days several apertures have been discovered and while none (if them seem as yet t< be very deep it is feared that the earth may open up iat any moment and swallow up or cause to fall down several of the bouses in that neighborhood. The largest hole noticed so far is on Clay street within three feet of the P. & R. Railway tracks. The opening is , about eighteen inches wide and three feet deep. It was first discovered on i Sunday and was filled with dirt and ashes Monday. During Monday night the dirt sank to a depth of about six inches but no further settlings have been noticed. The residents of Shamokiu ascribe the settling to the old "fiery slope" workings which were located iu that vicinity and which run east under Polish hill. The fact that the railroad is so near also adds alarm as the vibrations caus ed by the heavy coal trains undoubted lv shake the earth in that vicinity and conduce to the settling. One would think the Laxative idea in a cough syrup should have been ad vanced long before it was. It seems the only rational remedy for Coughs and Colds would be to move the bow els and clean the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar does this. It is the Original Laxa tive Cough Syrup, the best known I remedy for Coughs, Colds, Croup, | Whooping Cough, etc. Tastes good and I harmless. Sold by Paules & Co. | [ A proposition which may ultimately expand with far-reaching results to I this section is now held under advise | ment by the officials of the Rohr Mc , Henry Distilling Company of Benton. For some time past, as the business of the company has steadily increased, the need has become urgent of con venient facilities for the transporta tion of their product from the distil lery to the Benton station, about two miles awav. Between Benton and the distillery plant is a grade which makes haulage by horses a most difficult problem. An i undue number of animals are required : and the service is slow and far from satisfactory. With the growth of the business, the problem has become more and more acute, until the company is now practically compelled to adopt some substitute. Two methods of overcoming the diffi culty are proposed. Oue is the putting into use of a huge automobile, similar to that now in use at Wilkes-Barre by the Stegmaier Brewing Compauv. The other method suggested of over coming the difficulty mentioned, and j a method which could be made the J nucleus of a much broader scheme, is j the construction of a trolley line from the distilling plant to the Benton sta tion. This matter has received much consideration, and is considered high ly feasible and regarded most favor ably by many persons. An engineer j who was engaged, made a careful ex amination of the situation, measure ments and plans were made, and esti mates prepared on the cost of con structing the proposed trolley line. The people of Bloomsburg and Ben ton state that if the latter method of transportation is adopted the project will develop into a passenger line and run to Bloomsburg. Don't frown—look pleasant. If you are suffering from indigestion or sour stomach, take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Hon. Jake Moore, of Atlanta, Ga., says:"l suffered more than 20 years with indigestion. A friend recom mended Kodol. It relieved me in one day and I now enjoy better health than for many years. " Kodol digests what you eat, relieves sour stomach, gas ou stomach, belch i nfg, etc. Sold bv Paules & Co.
