ASSOCIATIONS
OK THE STHEET
Certain facts have come to light re
lating to improper conduct upon the
streets at night, involving our young
population, which have thoroughly
aroused the chief burgess and the town
council. The matter is being deliber
ated on and nothing will be done has
tily, but judging from the agitation at
present it does not seem unlikely that
a curfew ordinance may be enacted in
Danville.
In dwelling upon the unseemly con
duct upon the streets, at night, here
tofore the boys have come in for their
share of reproach. It now seems that
the uirls are no better than they should
be and that their conduct in some
parts of town has become so reprehen
sible as to cause a public scandal.
Burgess Rogers appeared before
council at its la>t meeting to call the
attention of that body to reports that
had come to him in connection with
some of the public dances. Not only
did the bad reports involve girls that
were considerably under eighteen years
of age, but they quite conclusively
established the fact that the gentle
creatures were drunk.
A gentleman was present at council
meeting, who Itad attended a number
of the dances and without denying the
humiliating allegation stated—and his
explanation was accepted by council —
that the dance was in no way responsi
ble for the condition of the girls or
any consequent disorder. He admitted
that girls of almost any age are likely
to appear at the dance, but he stated
that attendance of girls under eighteen
years is discouraged and unless they
misrepresent their age to the manage
ment they are generally obliged to
leave the building. It has occurred
that intoxicated females, who imbibed
elsewhere, have appeared at the arm
ory,but we have the gentleman's word
for it that they were immediately
forced to depart.
As a result of it all the burgess and
council feel convinced that conditions
exist on our streets after dark, which
no well regulated town can afford to
tolerate. The police at all times have
authority to arrest persons intoxicated
or guilty of disorderly conduct, but it
is pretty evident that something else
should be done to improve the condi
tions, and to separate young girls—and
also hoys—from evil associations,
which can be accomplished at least in
! part by keeping them off the street at
night. Hence a curfew ordinance sug
gests itself. No action was taken by
council, but the matter was discussed
with much earnestness ami was held
over for future consideration.
Hornier Townsman a Prospector.
A letter lias been received from Em
erson Keim, son of John Keim, the
brick manufacturer. Emerson left
Danville a year or so ago and is now
prosj>ectiug for gold in the neighbor
hood of Manhattan, Nevada.
According to his letter our young
townsman is having the usual experi
ences of the frontiersman or prospect
or. He writes that he is about forty
t 9«» Ht n, n .,
about three weeks ago, his tent being
the third that was struck in the place,
which is now growing rapidly. In
making the journey from Manhattan,
lie states that he "walked forty miles
with his bedding on his back and a
stick in his hand." It was a hard trip
and one to be remembered, but he feels
that he will be rewarded, as the place
promises to become one of the richost
ever discovered. He has already got
14 claims and is looking forward to
fabulous wealth.
Emerson writes that lie is getting to
be quite an expert in prospecting and
that he "can now locate, a mine with
the best of them."
He finds life in the mining camp full
of charm and lie enjoys it very much.
It is [an usual experience for him, he
says, to lie at night out under the stars
with only a blanket over him and
thirty miles away from every other
human being. His only companion is
a mule, which tie rides in his prospect
ing tours.
When at the ranch he gets up in the
morning at 5:30 o'clock; at 6:30 lie
starts out. He generally puts in a full
day returning at 6 p. m. Ho rides
thirty to forty miles each trip,examin
ing on the way all kinds of rocks for
some kind of minerals. The life is a
rough one and full enough of adven
ture to please anyone. The principal
food of the prospector is beans, bacon
ami crackers. The country is full of
springs and the best of water is ob
tained anywhere.
Wages are high. Unskilled labor is
worth five dollars per day, while mech
anics and the like command eight to
ten dollars. Eight hours constitute a
day.

the number of persons received into
the church during the past year was
459, as against 373 the year before.
This gain of 118 members is a gain of
twenty-five j>er cent. The annual ex
penses during 1904 was $116,000. Last
year they were about SIOO,OOO. The re
port also showed that only about thirty

[CONCERNING OUR
MILK SUPPLY
A communication has been received
at this office signed " Dairyman,"
which approves the action taken by
the authorities to promote good sanita
tion by securing an analysis of river
water, perfecting sewerage, etc., but
which suggests the advisability of the
board of health examining another
source of contagion, which lias ap
parently been overlooked. Reference
is made to the milk supply of the
town, which, as is well understood, if
not scrupulously clean and pure, is apt
to prove a potent cause of typhoid
fever and other diseases. Inasmuch as
the writer is a dairyman the views ad
vanced, as they relate to milk, especi
ally, ought to have much weight. Th
communication reads in part:
"As everyone knows the only diet
given to a person suffering with fever
is milk. Let us consider what might
happen if the milk given the patient
is not of the best and the purest qual
ity Assuming that the cows are
healthy, is it not most frequently the
case that the cows are coufiued in
| dark, filthy, unventilated stables?
I Amid such surroundings is it not to be
supposed that deadly bacteria, which
lurk in such places,will be introduced
into the milk? The bacteria increase
with wonderful rapidity and by the
time the milk reaches the fever pati
ent it is laden with deadly poison aud
the poor weak patient, whose only hope
of life is in the sustenance lie gets
from the milk, is required to partake
of actual i>oison. Now,the honest con
scientious dairyman will see to it that
his stables aud their surroundings are
clean and sanitary, but how about the
milk he purchases from other people?
Is he always careful to visit these
farms to ascertain if the stables are
clean aud sanitary and consequently
whether the milk is all that it should
be?
"In what better way can disease be
carried from house to house than by
bottled milk? Does anyone suppose
that the dairyman disinfects every hot
tie each time it is returned? Is it not
putin the case with the other bottles
and washed by the dairyman in the
usual way? The next day the bottles
are all filled and distributed, as they
happen to come, to the patrons on the
route. The bottle that came from the
fever-stricken home goes into some
other home aud in a short time anoth
er case of typhoid fever is reported.
"We have considered the possible
sources first, but there is another rea
son why the health authorities should
inquire into the dairy supply. Every
mouth the dairy and food department
sends out a book containing the names
of persons who have violated the law
by adulteration of milk and other food
supplies. As we know Danville lias
not been quite innocent in the past
and who is sure as to the present sup
ply? Last year the agent did uot test
the milk sold in Danville and it is uot
likely that lie will come this summer
unless somebody requests the depart
ment to make a test, Consumers are
very willing to patronize a dairyman
warm weather, yet nature never in
tended milk to keep sweet longer than
a certain time. Beware of milk or
cream that keeps sweet in warm
weather—it is 'doctored. - Why should
not Danville follow the example of
other towns and require a test of the
milk once every mouth? The Babcock
test costs but a small auiouut and the
test can easily be made. Thus the con
sumer would know whether the milk
is honest in its weight and above or
below the standard. All honest dairy
men would hail such an examination
with pleasure."

M A KING IM PRO VE M EN TS.
Horace O. Blue is erecting a new
porch at his residence ou Mill street.
Yesterday morning he tore down the
old portico, which had done service
since the dwelling was built. The old
structure was quite a pretentious piece
of architecture but many of the tim
bers had yielded to decay and Mr. Blue
decided to tear it down and build
along modern lines. The new porch
will be over twenty feet in length, tak
ing in practically the entire width of
the house. It will add much to the
pleasure of the family occupying the
house and improve the value of the
property.
A portico, it would appear, Can uot
be relied upon to withstand the rav
ages of time like the dwelling proper
aud while the latter is still in good re
pair the portico or veranda becomes
dilapidated in appearance, detracting
much from the general surroundings.
It is unfortunate that now and then
property owners are negligent in this
resj>ect and permit old porticos to re
main long after they have ceased to bo
oruamental. There are a good many
streets in town that are disfigured in
this way aud the owners would do well
to imitate Mr. nine's example.

a long time. Anyone who has ever had
piles knows what suffering I endured
before I used Doan's Ointment. The
burning and itching was almost into

tried dozens of ointments, salves and
lotions I got no relief. I heard so much
about Doan's Ointment that I procured

MEGHAN DISAGREES
lu a letter to Senator Godcharles of
Milton. Commissioner Meeliau says:
I do not agree at all w'tli Doneliow
ers theory that spring 'planting of
trout is not right. I have so stated iu
tlic Williamsport Sun. I would not
care how great the facilities might be
when rearing trout, I would not favor
planting them in the fall. 1 could give
very many good reasons in favor of
spring planting of small fish and
against planting large fish in the fall.
Here are two or three very good and
conclusive ones:
First. Young fish three or four
months old when planted in the streams
iu the spring soon find plenty of food
coming to them and by the autumn
iire lully capable of hunting food for
themselves.
Second. Fish held in the hatcheries
through the summer must necessarily
be fed with artificial foods and when
planted in the fall of the year do not
know how to hunt for food for them
selves, and food at that time is very
scarce. Consequently, these fish have
a very hard time of it pulling through
the winter and many are lost.
Third. Fish kept in hatcheries un
til fall learn to ' school" and when
planted in the fall hold to the habit
and when the angler comes along in
the spring it is almost certain that
nearly every fish will be caught.
Fourth. Fall planted fish are the
most helpless creatures that can bo im
agined. Spring planted fish in a week
or two_,learn to take care of them
selves.
Fifth. It is by results that we de
termine whether a thing is good or
not. The results from the trout streams
in Pennsylvania show that spring
planting is good.
The allegation which is often made
that floods will sweep awav little fish
is not founded on fact, if the fish are
planted where they should be, namely
in spring runs tributary to the stream
from which it is expected to catch
them. No flood which has yet occur
red has been able to turn as much as
the tail of the trout or move it from
where it wants to remain. That is af
ter the trout has become used to its
new water, which will be at the most
three or four days, and when planted
there early in the season before the
• | suow water has entirely disappeared
1 the time is shortened. Twenty-four
i hours will settle them securely.
• I The United States Bureau ofFisher
• i ies has api<arently learned that both
I Pennsylvania and Michigan and some
• other states are right in spring plaut
t inn from the fact that it is going into
< spring planting as rapidly as possible.
A few years ago it planted nearly all
its trout in the fall, advocating au
tumn planting. Last year they raised
ten and a half million trout, of which
only one million were fall planted.
The rest were planted even earlier than
we do. Michigan plants in the same
stage and has achieved marvelous
success. lam convinced from experi
ence covering nearly thirty years in
fish planting that it would bo impossi
ble 11. i " ~ r>f P*
vania with trout if fall planting were
indulged in. The best evidence to
prove this is to be found in New York
state where they plant almost exclu
-1 sivelv in the autumn; the fishing is
112 there falling behind. In Pennsylvania
112 and Michigan where spring planting
i is the rule, trout fishing is improving
e annually.

IMPORTANT
ACTIUN DBFERRM)
Amos Vastiue,»a first ward mem her,
created a stir in council Friday night,
when he informed that body that the
polluted condition of the river bank
above tlie intake of the water works
had been reported to the State board
of health. Who it was that had taken
the matter up when the local author
ities hesitated to act was not stated.
Just what action council expects from
Health Commissioner Dixon is not
clear. At all events it had not the ef
fect of impelling the members to take
any action in the matter,although the
violation of the ordinance anil the
consequent defilement of the river bank
were threshed over in about the same
way as at the previous meeting. The
attitude of the members was about the
same with the exception of the gentle
man from the third ward, who at the
previous meeting said lie did not be
lieve the printed description, but who
at the last meeting said he had in
vestigated and had found the situation
bad enough. The matter was treated
a little more seriously than at the pre
vious meeting, but 110 action was tak
en either to effectually prevent the
dumping of garbage 011 the river bank
or to remove the impurities that are
already thrown on the spot.
It is worthy of note also that from
other parts of town, especially, the
third ward, there is much complaint
on the score of bad sanitation. Al
though the first of May is nearly here
it is no uncommon sight to see alleys
nearly blocked with manure piles and
ashes. Still worse, the gutters ou
many of the streets are filled with
waste water of all sorts which flowing
from one spot lies in front of the door
ways of other persons who strive to
keep their premises clean and present
able. Probably those responsible for
the objectionable state of affairs de
scribed will some day awake to their
duty in the premises.

Kill Typhoid Says Dixon.
"Wipe out typhoid by killing the
germs contained in the discharges of
the patient before they leave the sick
room to lay other fellow beings low
with this disease." Such are the in
structions that Health Commissioner
Samuel G. Dixon gives in his new cir
cular on [typhoid fever addressed to
nurses and attendants in charge of
persons suffering from this infectious
malady.
"I want to send that message ring
ing through the whole State," said
Health Commissioner Dixon to a news
paper man at Harrisburg yesterday.
"I want to get every local board of
health to see that in every home where
there is a person ill with typhoid fev
er, the physician, the nurse or attend
ant shall be impressed with the duty
of letting no infection from their pati
ent be the cause of giving the disease
to another,and the way to do this first
of all is to kill the germs of the dis
ease that comes from the patient be
fore these germs leave the sick room.
I am determined that the appalling
harvest that typhoid is reaping in
Pennsylvania shall be cut down. It
can be done —it must be done. If, be
ginning today, the nurse or attendant
in charge of a typhoid fever case will
see to if that the discharges from the
patient are thoroughly disinfected be
fore they are carried out. of the room
in which typhoid victim is confined,
we can almost wipe out typhoid in a
year's time. I realize that this is a big
"if," yet it is one of the simplest
ways in the world to blot out a disease
that is appallingly epidemic through |
out the whole State."
"If only each and every person to !
whom this message is directed will
hear it and heed it. "
In his typhoid circular Health Com- |
missioner Dixon sets forth simple me
I hods of killing the typhoid germs be- j
fore they are carried out of the sick 1
room.

SUft CHANGES
CONTEMPLATED
Besides installing four additional
are. lamps and two incandescent lights
as indicated by the report of the last
council meeting, our borough fathers
have decided upon some improvements
in the borough light system, which
will help the service and necessitate
only a small outlay of money.
At present there are five circuits in
the borough, but, as explained by the
borough electrician, in their practical
working they are interwoven in such
a way as to render it difficult or im
possible to make necessary repairs at
any one point while the lights arc on
without interfering with the service
all over the borough. The difficulty
seems to be that each of the four cir
cuits embracing the arc lights return
on the commercial circuit, which lights
up the borough property, such as city
hall and the four hose houses. In case
of an accident to any one of the arc
lights it becomes impracticable,accord
ing to the electrician, to make speedy
repairs without shutting off the whole
system. In case there is anything
wrong with the commercial circuit,
especially, there is no other way out
of it but to throw off the whole sys
tem.
Acting upon the electrician's advice
it is proposed to make eacli circuit a
circuit in itself. This according to an
estmiate made by the electrician will
necessitate the purchase of about 14, -
400 feet of wire and a number of cross
arms. The cost is not difficult to de
termine. According to the electrician's
estimate it will not exceed S2BO. No
time has been set for beginning work
on the improvement.
The four arc lamps authorized at the
last meeting of council will be instal
led immediately. The light on Wal
nut street, where heretofore darkness
has reigned, will necessitate the erec
tion of four new poles.

A RUINED CITY,
j It is almost beyond belief that with
in a couple of days, one of the chief
cities of the United States,the metrop
olis of the Pacific coast, a place of
400,000 jiopnlatiou, should have been
annihilated, laid in ruins, an utter
waste. San Francisco, with its mag
nificent seven story hotel, covering a
block, ten to eighteen story business
buildings, scores of magnificent man
sions. churches and edifices, public and
P*ivato,e<jnnl to any city in the world,
I IftVO J^OUC
It was believed first reports were
exaggerated, but the fire fiend swept
on, and swept away over £*00,000,000
worth of property, and left past rec
ords dwarfed. The Chicago, Boston
and Baltimoreffires are small in com
parison.
Great stretches of blackened and
smoking ruins mark the place where
business houses and beautiful resi
dences of a great city stood a couple
of days ago. For two straight miles,
wrcekage and ruin are seen. Great
manufactories, mercantile houses,
banks and office buildings are nowhere
seen. Eighteen and twenty story
steel buildings, mammoth hotels cov
ering a block, a dozen millionaire
mausious, famous landmarks,museums
and places of art, hospitals, etc., don
ated and endowed by former wealthy
residents or pioneers are in ashes.
The loss and destruction is appal
ling, but San Francisco will be re
built. The railway communications
exist, the splendid harbor, and the
gateway to the Far East. The same
kind of courage and energy as rebuilt
the burned districts of Baltimore,
Chicago and Boston, will prevail in
San Francisco, and when the people
recover from their daze, and capital
begins to pour in from the big cities
of the East and Middle West, the
stricken California town will take
heart and a new and a better city will
spring up with astonishing speed.

SHUT OF
COAL RECEIVED
Nearly a month lias passed since any
coal was mined and already the gener
al conditions that are iu any way re
lated to fuel are pretty nearly the same
as those that prevailed during the
great miners' strike of 190:2. Already
the arrival of a car load of coal in
town is an event far out of the ordin
ary—sufficient to create quite a stir.
The quality of the coal—where it was
shipped from—how it was procured—
all these are questions that concern the
people mightily.
The first shipment of anthracite coal
that reached here since the shut down
arrived at South Danville yesterday
and was consigned to the Reading Iron
company. A little inquiry as to where
the coal came from revealed that we
| have comparatively near at hand a
fairly abundant source of coal not af
fected by the shut down—a source
nearly identical with the one that
stood our town iu such good stead dur
ing the last great strike.
This is at McAuley mountain—the
picturesque old ridge some thirty-five
or forty miles to the east of us that
lies on the very borders of the great
coal deposit'and holds in its bosom one
or more veins of the black diamonds.
No one can scarcelv remember a time
when coal was not mined at McAuley.
Over thirty years ago John Hinterleit
er, who owned and occupied a farm in
Beaver Valley, that abutted on tho,
mountain, putin all his spare time
mining coal, which lay near the sur
face and was easily obtained. It was
a very good coal,a trifle soft probably,
and was known as'"peacock" coal ow
ing to its gaudy colors, which resem
bled those of the peacock's plumage.
The farmers who did not burn wood
exclusively purchased their coal of
John Hinterleiter paying for it at the
rate of one dollar per two horse load.
The school houses in several adjoining
districts were supplied from the same
source. There was no breaker at the
mine and the coal was delivered in
chunks as large as a half a bushel,
which the purchaser had to break with
a hammer.
It was from this small mine, now in
that a considerable quan
tity of coal was hauled to Danville
during the last miners' strike by sev
eral of our townspeople, who general
ly occupied nearly a day and a night
in making the trip.
A more important mine was on the
west £or Scotch Valley side of the
mountain, operated for many years by
Lossee and Shuman. This mine was
pretty well equipped and a good deal
of coal was shipped. The methods em
ployed, however, were rather wasteful
and immense culm banks accumulated,
containing good coal in all sizes.
After some years, when the mine
was no longer operated, and coal in
creased so much in value, the culm
banks themselves became a factor and
parties undertook to work them over
extracting the coal and placing it up
on the market. While the mines were
in operation there was little demand
for the product and the work was not
pushed to any extent. Now, however,
siiu-n mining lias coaacd and a general
shortago of coal has occurred, it is al
together different. A big demand has
opened and coal from the Scotch val
ley culm piles will be shipped as fast
as it can be obtained.
The coal, which was shipped to
South Danville yesterday was No. 5:
and it was clean and uniform in size.
Our townspeople will undoubtedly
look to the same source for future
shipments.

Will Analyze River Water.
Dr. Cameron'Slmltz,secretary of the
local board of health, yesterday stated
that as soon as the river falls to its
normal level a specimen of our hy
drant water will be sent to the Phila
delphia chemical laboratory for an
alysis. As indicated by the report of
Health Commissioner Dixon recently
printed in these columns, Montour
county has had a rather bad showing
as relates to typhoid fever and the
board of health is taking this measure
to see whether the condition of the
water supply has anything to do witli
undue prevalence of disease.
To allay all fears it should be stated
that there is nothing whatever alarm
ing iu the situation. As relates to
typhoid fever at present there are even
less cases than during the period cov
ered by Dr. Dixon's report. It hap
pens merely that the board of health
is not satisfied that ourshowng should
be anything less than the best the
year around and it is going to fiud out,
if possible, what deleterious influences
are at work.
While our filter plant is given credit
for eliminating a great deal of im
purity from river water,the consensus I
of opinion among our doctors seems |
to be that it should uot be relied up- j
onto eliminate bacteria. Some of I
these medical men, too, do not regard
it as at all unlikely that during low
water disease grems may be found in
the river here, brought down from up
stream where the sewage from many
towns fiuds its way into the channel.
Hence, it is deemed best to ascertain
the condi tion'of.the water by close
alysis to the end that, if
found deleterious iu its quality, our
citizens may know how to meet the
condition.

OLD-FASHIONED JUSTICE.
Complaint is made occasionally that
the court in some counties allows too
much latitude or overlooks remissness
in grand juries ignoring bills which
apparently ought togo to trial. Judge
Staples, of Monroe county, is not dis
j posed to depart from the good old
fashioned way of country justice, and
last Tuesday sent for jurors because
they had ignored an indictment charg
ing a couple of females with larceny
of goods from a department store.
When the jury came into court the
judge said, when the evidence before
the grand jury is sufficient, it is the
duty of a grand jury to lind a true
bill, and in a case like this it had no
right to ignore it. Tlint would be com
pounding a felony. Because a pros
ecutor appears before the grand jury
and says that he does not want to pro
-1 secute a case it does not empower the
! grand jury to ignore a bill in a case of
felony. It is for the court to consider
i when the case is brought before it
i whether the prosecution should goon
|or not. Hereafter he expected the
grand jury to conform to these in
structions.
The supposition is that grand juries
decide on the weight of evidence pre
sented by the plaintiff whether there
is sufficient reason for a true bill, but
! evidently the judge in question was of
the opinion that justice was not being
done, and he was frank enough to say
so. Compounding a felony is a serious
charge, and such an allegation is not
pleasant to say the least, and grand
juries who have to deal with Judge
! Staples are pretty apt hereafter to ex
ercise greater care in their delibera
tious. —Scranton Times.
