Dealers aud consumers alike with the experiences of the last strike fresh on their minds are embracing every opportunity to take time by the forelock and prevent embarrassment bv laying in a supply of coal. In view of the unsettled state of af fairs between the coal operators and the miners, in order that they might l>e on the safe side the local dealers for weeks past have been purchasing coal at tlie mines as fast as they could get their orders filled or could find room in their yards to store it. The con sumers, however, were just as anxious to have their cellars filled to be pre pared for a strike which might shut off next winter's supplv of coal. Dur ing the last couple of days especially the consumers have been falling over each other to place orders with local dealers and at present it does not seem likely that any of our yards will l>e able to keep a supply on hand that would help to relieve the situation should there be a strike. Several of our leading coal yards were visited yesterday and at each place the story was the same. One dealer stated that despite his earnest efforts to prepare for a strike at that moment he had enough orders on hand to eat up every ton of coal in his yard, notwithstanding that all his bins were full and overflowing. Those who will change their residence on April Ist have placed their orders along with the rest,merely stipulating that the orders be left unfilled until atfer moving time. The situation with the local dealers, this spring will be unique, in that additional men and teams will have to he employed to de liver the big stock of coal on hand and already sold in order to make room fur future shipments. Work ordinarily distributed through summer months will have to be crowded in a few weeks' time. One dealer yesterday stated that he had seven teams em ployed. This is a feature of the situa tion, strike or no strike, which proves hard on the local dealer, entailing up on him unavoidable expenditure. It is gratifying that in case of a strike so many of our townspeople due to their wise forethought will be found so well supplied with coal. But their is another class of purchasers,not situ ated either owing to lack of room or funds to lay in a supply of coal aud how these are going to fart- in case of a strike is not so clear. Already at the mines is a disposition shown to re strict sales and if oue,classof consum ers in their efforts to provide for the future manage to purchase the coal as fast as it is shipped into town the local dealer mav well despair of get ting a supply of coal ahead that will give all classes of customers —those who purchase in small quantities as well as others—an equal chance. Women's Auxiliary Supper. The Women's Auxiliary to the Y.M. C. A. is to have one of its famous suppers in the association hall on Thursday evening, March 15, from five to eight o'clock. These suppers are the events of the season, and the people of Danville look forward to them with pleasure. The ladies have been work ing hard to make this one a success, and they will be glad to see their friends aud all who are interested in the work of the Y. M. C. A. and de sire to help it along. PLATE GLASS WINDOWS. The large plate gla*s yesterday ar rived for the new front in the Dreifuss building, Mill street, which will be occupied by Cohen Brothers. The glass are among the largest that ever came to town. Mr. Dreifuss has the honor of installing the first flexible plate glass window in town. Dauville has a larger number of tasteful modern store fronts than many other towns can boast of. Regularly each season one or more of the store rooms are re modeled. The first plate glass windows in stalled in Danville were in front of K. D. Mag ill's drug store, Mill street, away back in the early days The same glass remains today aud has stood some pretty hard knocks. In fact the two windows have quite a history and Mr. Magill, the proprietor, often re gales his friends with interesting stories concerning them The wedding of Prvnce Eitel was not a marker to that of Alice Roose velt as a matter of public interest. \Ne Americans can give the European- les sous in making much of a girl. TIT Fi TUT BEFORE JUSTICE John Jruveski and Mrs. Joseph Kem iski, Polish residents of Bank street, indulged in the luxury of several "hearings" that took up a good deal of Justice Dalton's time during Mon day evening and Tuesday morning. During the course of the proceedings each of the parties appeared once in the role of prosecutor and once as de fendant. On Monday the bad feeling that has existed for some time between Mrs. Kemiski and Mr. Jruveksi culminated in a fracas,during the course of which the former struck the latter on the head with the hard end of a broom. Mrs K. was promptly arrested on a charge of assault and battery, the case being heard before 'Squire Dalton Monday night. Neither of the bel ligerents speak United States, so it was only with the aid of an interpre ter that it was finally decided that the female defendant- should pay the costs if her accuser withdrew the charge. The experience of separating herself from the coin necessary to pay the costs, was not an altogether delightful experience for Mrs. Kemiski, so she decided to get even with her jiersecut or by working his own scheme against himself. Accordingly she swore out a warrant for Jruveski charging him with assault and battery, committed on her child. Once again the party gathered at 'Squire Dalton's office, but this time with the positions of the principals re versed. By dint of much careful ques tioning it was determined that Mr. Jruveski had taken forcible hold of Mrs. Kemiski's child and thrown it to tiie ground. Again it was agreed that the defendant paying the costs, the prosecution would withdraw the charge. Both Mrs. Kemiski aud Mr. Jruveski returned to Bank street apparently satisfied after their several trips to the bar of justice. Both were elated that the other had been compiled to " loos en," and both were somewhat depress ed that they had been obliged them selves to "cough." AGAINST THE MOSQUITI >. There is to be a legislative hearing in Trenton today on the question of an appropriation for the extermina tiou of the mosquito in New Jersey. A dozen years ago such a proposition would have awakened derision and in credulity from onft end of the country to the other, but the discoveries of modern science have furnished ample proof that this pest, which has made New Jersey at once famous and wretch ed, can l>e exterminated from her coasts. The amount demauded for this year's work in mosquito destruction is $350,- 000, but the economists, doubting Thomases and disbelievers in scientific progress are fighting the proposition each from his own view-point. If New Jersey could by the expend iture of ten times the amount demand ed eliminate the pest it would be mon ey well spent. The increased value of real estate within a decade would more than compensate for the outlay. There is a penny-wise and poundfool ish way of going about this work, and it is to make small and dribbling ap propriations, which in reality might as well not be made at all. The auth orities should go about it in wholesale fashion and be done with it. New Jersey is practically out of debt aud could spend four times the sum asked for and never feel it. Supply of Soft Coal. Should the miners' strike, which now seems imminent, become general ami take in the bituminous along with the anthracite field the effect would no doubt be to paralyze all industry. The hope is still adhered to that a strike may be averted in the soft coal region. In order to determine the outlook as it relates to our local industries in case the worst should come to pass a visit was made to our leading indus tries yesterday. As will be seen Dan ville is fortunately situated and has little to fear unless a strike should oc cur t hat is especially prolonged and bitter and lead to business complica tions now wholly unforeseen. In the first place it was found that our industries are stocked up to the full limit aud are carrying a supply of soft coal that will meet all demands for months. The Reading Iron Works has no less that ten thousand tons of soft coal in its bunkers—eight thou sand tons at the big mill and some two thousand tons at the Danville Rolling Mill. In addition, the Read ing Iron Company possesses soft coal mines of its own, at Somerset, aud even if it should uot be able to keep the mines in operation it is in a position to control the output at present, using it to stock up the Read ing Iron company's own industries to any limit desired. To illustrate how rapidly a big in dustry like the Reading Iron Works eats up soft coal it might be stated that when the plaut is in full opera tion it requires some two hundred and forty tous per day or some live thou sand tons per month to feed its fur nace-. The mill is not running full at present so that of course the daily and tiie monthly consumption is some what below the above figures. The Structural Tubing Works has also a large supply of soft coal on hand. On the whole the situation is such that none of our manufacturers see any cause for alarm and they all speak hopefully. WHAT MIGHT BE SAVED Has it ever occurred to any one at the present rate for coal what an ex ceedingly small quantity represents five cents in value. A l>ov ap]ieared at one of the local yards for a nickel's worth of coal yesterday. The dealer was as liberal as he could be under the circumstances anil the boy carried home as his portion a quantity that would approximately fill a coal scut tle. The whole served to illustrate how rapidly an extravagant use of coal runs into a needless waste of money. Stoves and furnaces can easily be reg ulated to effect the saving of a scut tle of coal now and then and what the saving means in money is well illus trated by the above. IN HONOR OF MS. SHWABTZ The memory of Mrs. Joseph H. Schwartz, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rush Yerrick, of this city, who de parted this lite in Plymouth a couple of years ago, was appropriately honor ed at that place Siindav during special service at St. Peter's Episcopal church, when a handsome new pulpit, lecterns and dorsal were formally accepted. Under the head of Plymouth corres pondence the " Wilkes-Barre News"of Saturday had the following to say con cerning the service: St. Peter's Episcopal church will be the scene of special services Sunday when the handsome new pulpit, lect erns and dorsal will be accepted by the pastor, Rev. .1. ti. Griffith. The ser vices at which these gift- will be ac cepted will be held at 10:30. The pul pit is the gift of Henry H. Ashley, and was presented in honor of his de ceased mother, Catherine Ashley, who was a member of the church. Joseph H. Schwartz, presented a handsome lectern in memory of his departed wife, Mrs. Anna Schwartz, who was tin? founder of the sewing guild, a so ciety connected with the church. A magnificent dorsal was the gift of Mrs William Coombs and was given in me mory of her deceased parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Lewis. These gifts are costly and are greatly appreciated by the pastor and members of the church, and will assist in beautifying the in terior of the edifice. The interior of the church has been repainted aud papered and the finishing touches have just beeu completed,so that the church presents an attractive appearance. WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS. Doan'.s Kidney Pills Hive Djne Great Si-rvice for People Who Work. Most Danville people work every day in some strained, unnatural posi tion—bending constantly over a desk riding on *olting wagons or cars—do ing laborious housework; lifting, reaching or pulling,or trying the back in a hundred and one other ways. All these strains tend to wear weaken and injure the kidneys until they fall be hind iu their work of filtering the poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new strength in bad backs. Henry Collins, moulder, of 44"> N. 6th St.. Bloomsburg Pa., says:"For years 1 suffered with kidney com plaint. backache and bladder weak ness. I used all kinds of remedies but none of them seemed to have any bene ficial effect. The secretions from the kidneys gave me constant annoyance and bothered me night and day. My back became so weak and painful across the loins that I could scarcely get about at times. I have had to lay off from work time after time. I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in tin papers aud very highly recommended by people I knew. 1 obtained a box and used them as directed. I never had anything act as promptly in my life. The first box cured me of the pain anil weakness.

The Pennsylvania railroad company is about to start a huge bon fire in a field adjoining its Lucknow shops,just west of Harrisburg, which will burn indefinitely, as long indeed as there is left on the road a wooden coal car. Orders have l>eeu placed at the shops that no more wooden cars of 40,000 or 50,000 pounds capacity shall be repair ed. All are to be run out at the eud of a siding and burned. No effort will be made to save any of the woodwork, as the expense would be greater than the profit to be realized therefrom,and the scrap iron will be gathered up af ter the cars have been burned. The company is building no more wooden coal cars and those in service are fast wearing out. They have been weakeued by being hauled between the big steel cars now used iu the coal traffic and hundreds of them have been crushed by sudden stoppage of trains, causing wrecks that have cost the com pany hundreds of thousands of. dol lars. The officials have decided that it will be cheaper to destroy all of them than to pay for the damage caus ed by their breaking, so all of them are to be burned. To Patrol Trout Streams, The state constabulary troop,station ed at Wilkes-Barre will begin to get active as soon as the trout fishing sea son opens .n the spring. By direction of their chief, at the request of the State fisheries depart ment, tliev will patrol all the trout streams in Luzerne and adjoining counties and assist game and fish ward ens iu carrying out the law. The presence of members of the state police force at or near streams will make it very hazardous for fishermen to disregard the statute. Heretofore enforcement of the law has been hard because of the great territory the fish wardens have to traverse. TWENTY-EIGHT WILD GEESE. A large number of wild geese '' wing ed their flight" over this city yester day morning and their movements puzzled weather observers very much, as those jtersous generally regard the appearance of wild geese at this season the precursor of an early spring. In the present instance,however,the wise birds failed to take*a northerly direc tion as is expected of wild geese and the like when spring approaches. There were twenty-eight wild geese in the flock, which sailed down over the town from a northerly direction and on a line with Pine street crossed the river. On the opposite shore they came to a halt and after circling around awhile a- it taking their bear ing they turned down the river and as far as they could be seen pursued that course. The big flock presented a very pretty sight, flying very low Death of Infant Son. Frederick,the nine-mouths old son of Mr. and Mrs. William W.

Bettleyou, representing the State department of agriculture as San Jose scale demonstrator, arrived in Danville yesterday and for the next week will conduct an active crusade ! iu this vicinity against the scale and | other insect |>ests. Mr. Bettleyou is from Dalinatia, Northumberland county, and is one of a class of '27, that has recently been instructed in the work of demonstrat ing at Harrisburg. During his stay iu Danville he will have headquarters at the Montour House. Mr. Bettleyou fears that his work in this county will be greatly interfered with by the almost impassable condi tion of the country roads It is his in tention, if possible, to give a demon stration in each township, thus giving everybody an opportunity to observe the best methods to get rid of the scale. This is the best time of the year for the farmers and others who raise fruit to get ready for the spring spraying for the San Jose scale and other insect pests. Mr. Bettleyou outlined the methods and formula used by him as follows: "Suitable apparatus should be pro vided: a good force pump,mounted on a barrel will do very well for most or chards. The best spray is the linie sulphur-salt mixture. Put 4or 5 gal lons of water in an iron kettle and bring to boiling point, then putin pounds of stone lime (slacked lime will not do) As soou as the lime com mences to slack add 17 pounds of flow ers of sulphur. Boil for one hour,keep ing well stirred from the bottom. The salt can be added at any time while boiling. At the end of an hour's boil ing the mixture should be of a brick red or catsup color. Strain through a brass wire sieve: add water to make 50 gallons and the mixture is ready for use. This mixture need not be boil ing hot when used but runs through the nozzle better when warm. This can be applied any time before the buds burst, and the trees should be well pruned before spraying as the work can be done in less time and more thoroughly." BEAUTIFUL AND TOUCHING.

The boilers recently overhauled at the Water Works and from which five bushelsof scale were extracted are now 011 duty again. The theory that every one-sixteenth of an inch of scale adds t 'u per cent, to the cost of fuel is well sustained by the experience of the firemen, who state that since the re moval of the scale their labor is con siderably easier and that they are not oblige 1 to shovel nearly so much coal in a given time. The second set of boilers were also opened, but they were found in first class condition containing little or no scale. Both boilers are now good for another year of steady service during which time, if the hot water filter sys tem, does what is expected of it, there will be 110 deposit of scale in the boil ers. The water works and the light plant are now both in first class condition and what is just as gratifying they are in safe and competent hands. The citizens of Danville have faith in mu nicipal ownership as demonstrated by the fact that they have adopted it both in the matter of water and street light ing. No expense in either department has been spared to procure a first class and modern equipment. Both plants are much admired by visitors.

One would think that about the last thing to venture upon the country roads in their present state would be a traction engine, yet one of the r. 112. d. carriers last evening related that he found one section of his route very badly cut up yesterday morning by one of these cumbersome machines, which had ploughed its way through the mud. The heavy wheels had cut down to rock bottom and the road,bad enough before, was well nigh impassable for a light vehicle after the traction en gine had made its trip. The above suggests that automobiles are not taking very long trips now adays, even though the rear tires are equipped with chains to help them ov er slippery places. The river bridge, Mill street, with its pavement and the State highway would afford a pretty good speedway for automobiles, even in winter, were it not for the section of Mill street not yet paved, which just now is in nearly as bad a condi tion as the country roads. Notwith standing the mud automobiles have been covering this run occasionally during the several weeks past. WHICH't The expert who examined the mur derer, Salerno, says that the prisoner is now insane but that his mind may he restored. So it is proposed to re store it so that he may be hanged.

As the evening wore 011 they found themselves face to face with the fact that boys of almost any age from six teen years upward were getting whis key and were giving evidence of their indulgence by appearing in various stages of intoxication. It was not one boy's caper, but probably of half a dozen. The spectacle was a disgrace ful one and excited much comment among people 011 the street. More or less drunkenness is expected 011 Saturday nights following "pay," but such a tiling as the boys falling in with their elders and helping to keep the police busy was a new feature of the game. The officers naturally turn ed their first attention to the boys, with whom they had no desire to be severe. The silly fellows were kept quiet as far as possible and every me thod was adopted to get them togo home. What concerned the officers the most Saturday night was to find where whiskey was being sold to minors. They did a good deal of quiet work and what information they gained is known only to themselves. The person or persons who have violated the law in this matter not only commit a great wrong; but they run a big risk of be ing caught, as a little reflection will teach them that in every case where liquor is sold to minors there is of necessity one or more persons besides ! themselves who are aware of the 1 breach. The boys themselves would do well 1 to let Saturday night's offense be the last. Theirs is a case in which for- ' bearance would cease to be a virtue af ter the first offense, or what through J charity passes as such. Their next at tempt to whoop it up will be pretty sure to laud them in the lock-up. Don't frown—look pleasant. If you are suffering from indigestion or sour stomach, take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Hon.

Surface, state economic zoologist, is authority for the state ment that this is the year for the ap pearance of the seventeen year locusts. These locusts are among the most mys terious of nature's productions iu the insect line. Every seventeen years these cicada emerge from the earth, screech through the summer, lay their eggs and give up the ghost. The noise they make is anything but pleasant and resembles somewhat the music made by rapidly drawing a cross-cut I saw aero— the edges of a wash boiler. It is erroneously supposed that the locusts do great damage to fruit trees and shrublierv by eating the buds and leaves. Nobody has as yet been found who will swear that the cicada eats anything. He seems to be so busy rasping out his unearthly souuds that lie hasn't time to eat. The only dam age the locust does is to bore holes in to the limbs of trees and deposit eggs therein. This kills the limbs. When the young get big enough they bore in to the ground and keep 011 boring un til they get so deep it takes them seventeen years to get back to the sur face. People in this section of the country need not be alarmed over the prospec tive appearance of the seventeen-year locusts. The worst thing about them are the names applied to them by bugologists. The life of a locust is hrief and full of trouble. He is regard ed as a delectable morsel by many kinds of birds aud his eggs are sought by the gourmands among the insect tribe. One would think the Laxative idea in a cough syrup should have been ad vanced long before if 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 aud lungs at the same time.

OF PJ One of the fastest and finest basket ball games of the season was played before a big audience at the- armory Friday eve between Danville and the University of Pennsylvania medical department team. The game, while not abounding in sensational plays, was of the clean, snappy kind that all true basket ball lovers like to see. There were no spurts of scoring or any spasmodic playing. The collegians,although out played at all points from the start, nevertheless contested with tine endurance to the last whistle each point that was made by the Danville team. The first half opened with some fast, clever passing, and the first scoring was done by Johnson, of U. of P., in a sensational goal from middle field. 111 this half the visitors succeeded in holding the locals down to a lead of 1 goal, the half ending Danville HI, U. of P. 14. Hodgson, the U. of P. for ward did some brilliant work, and it was largely due to Russell's defensive work for Danville that his showing on the tally sheet was not larger. Near the end of the first half Warren Johnson, Danville, had the misfortune to sprain his ankle aud was compelled to retire from the game. In the second half the visitors ex hibited a noticeable inability to locate the basket, while Danville's tossing seemed only to grow better. Danville scored 30 ] joints in this half to I', of P's. 11. The line-up: Danville. U. of P. Bedea . . . forward Hodgson Peters forward .

Naturally the employes appreci ate the change. One of them remark ed last evening that he could not un derstand how they got along before electricity was installed. Where before they stumbled about, the mill in the dark now at every point where the j least danger exists an arc light sheds its brilliant rays upon the spot. At most portions of the mill theaic lights are not more than twenty-five yards apart. The Reading Iron Works here i- one of the best equipped plants in this sec tion. It is running full, with the ex ception of the skelp mill,and has been in steady operation all winter, which is a record to be proud of, as it has seldom occurred in tire past that there was a winter when a halt did not oc cur during the dull months. In this connection it might he stated that notwithstanding that it is the dull season there are probably no idle men in Danville who are able to work and want employment. It is stated as a fact bv a gentleman in a position to know that there is scarcely a day hut the various departments of our big in dustries are handicapped for the want of the right kiud of help.

Evidently a large proportion of the population in this country are of the opinion that a position under Uncle Sam is the one thing needful to soften down the harsh realities of life and make all burdens rest easier. This is well illustrated in our own town by the rush for the carriership on r. 112. d. route No. 2 made vacant by the resig nation of H. H. Stettler. For this posi tiou in all there are some thirty five applicants. Au odd feature of the case is that the applicants are all employed aud are willing to step down and out from the positions they are holding and enter upon the carriership. It is probably not so much an increase of remunera tion that appeals to these men as' it is the permanency of the position. The eagerness with which such a large num her of men seek the carriership—men who evidently have given the matter full consideration—would seem to dis prove that ttie position carries with it conditions that are burdensome, or in short that the position of r. 112. d. car rier does not pay. The examination will take place on next Saturday a week. According to indications the class will be one of the largest ever examined. Only one car rier is needed, but a certain number of good average will be placed 011 the list of eligibles to fill any vacancies that may occur within a specified limit. Tortured by Savaßes.

I The flat refusal of the mine opera tors to consider the propositions of the miners renders the situation in the coal-mining districts most acute. It may be, however, that the very sharp ness of the differences between the con flicting interests will force some kind of a compromise. The troubles be tween the operators and miners have, in the past, resulted in tremendous losses to both sides of the controversy and to still greater loss aud distress to the people at large. Any industrial quarrel which throws thousands of men out of employment, stops the wheels of manufacture and blocks the avenues of commerce, is a deadly blow to the well-being of civilized com munities. It is high time that such conditions were made impossible. A Lively Tussle with that old enemy in the race, COll - st pation, often ends in Appendicitis.
