Gen 1 Manager TWO TEAMS IN I RUNAWAY A two-horse team running away at a breakneck pace affords a spectacle ex citing enough lor most people, but when you multiply it by two and ob tain a picture of two such teams dash ing along one alter the other you have a positive "thriller" the like of which is not often witnessed. A spectacle of this exciting nature was witnessed by the residents of North Mill street about half past 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The two runaway team* were employed in haul ing wood l'or the Catawissa paper mill company, from (he tract being cleared altove Sidler hill to the P. & R. rail way near the Mill street crossing, where it will later be loaded 011 the cars. When the runaway occurred the two wagons had just been unloaded and the horses were left unattended while the drivers busied themselves in pil ing up the wood. The horses—four big iron greys—bad plenty of spirit and while standing alone got frightened and started to run. In an instant the teams were beyond the drivers' reach and close together went galloping in Mill street. Few vehicles were on the street at the time and these were quick ly pulled aside and tne runaway teams were given the right of way. The de livery wagon of the Danville Milling company, driven by G. A. Fry, which was standing at Pursell's store, escap ed by the narrowest possible margin, being driven ground the corner just as the teams dashed onto the spot. As the first jeam reached Centre street a gentleman standing near rush ed into the street and attempted to stop the horses. This merely had the effect of turning the team in another direction and it attempted to escape up Centre street. In striking the brick pavement,"how ever, one of the horses fell and carri ed along by the fearful momentum gained it was dragged over the bricks for twenty feet. At this juncture Ed ward Pursell ran out from the store and caught the other horse. The fall en animal was released by the big crowd which rapidly collected. The horse escaped serious injury,while the harness was only slightly broken. Meanwhile the second team dashed by and continued up Mill street. Where its flight would have ended it would be hard to tell, had not 'Bert Gill ran out of his store and pluckily caught one of the horses. It is a question whether he could have brought the team to a stop had not George Sutler, who is employed on the street, rushed up and struck the otiier horse over the nose with his sweeper. A few min utes after the horses were stopped the driver arri vtd and took them in charge. A torpid, inactive liver «*an produce more bodily ills than almost anything t-lee.

There are 110 finer building sites in the borough than are to be fouud in Gulick's addition, hut unfortunately up to the present the locality lias been cut off both from electric light and borough water. Meanwhile here and there wells were sunk and the resi dents endeavored to get along as well as they could. The lack of water, how ever, lias proven a serious drawback and in order to induce the borough to extend tlio water svsteni and to install electric light a petition numerously signed asking for these utilities was presented to council at its meeting Friday night. The matter was refer red to the proper committees. The water committee visited Gulick's addition yesterday morning, looking carefully over the ground. There would .-eem to be scarcely any doubt from what has been learned but that the committee will report in favor of carrying water to Gulick's addition. It is a very big proposition it is true, and will necessitate an extension of flu water main nine hundred feet long. Under the circumstances it is not unlikely that the residents in Gulick's addition will be asked to compromise 011 a two-inch main,which will supply the hydrant, at the dwel lings, but will not provide for tire protection. How the committee on electric light will report remains to be seen. It is possible to obtain relief from chr »nic iudig> -tionand dyspepsia by the USP of KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA.

Harman immediately after the burglary was committed, on the night of January «, 1906. Later on April 30th., lie signed a statement in the office of Guy Jacoby, that the testimony he gave at the preliminary hearing was untrue, which statement was made after the habeas corpus hear ing was had in this case.

The Republicans of Montour county, who have been very quiet up to the present, are giving some thought as to candidates for the next election. While among the Democrats every office has a candidate and some,three or four, it is noteworthy that among the Repub licans there seems to be a dearth of early aspirants for local office. No time has as yet been set for hold ing the primaries and the nominating convention, but these will be at tended to in the near future and an effort will be made to find candidates for each office to be filled. It is taken for granted that Presi dent Judge C. C. Evans and Associate Judge Charles Wagner will each be a candidate. It is also regarded as prob able that Congressman E. W. Samuel will receive the endorsement of Mon tour county for re-election as he has in Columbia county Beyond these flit-re are no aspirants in sight. Can didates are wanted for assemblyman, sheriff, register and recorder. Republican leaders say that because no haste has been shown in the mat ter it must not be inferred that a strong man will not eventually announce him self for each of the remaining offices and that if any prospective candidate of the opposite party is looking for ward to the possibility of a walkover lie i> cherishing a dream that will not be realized. THE OT.O SILVER DOLLAR.

Bernhard of Scottdale, who as previously stated in these col umns, was a candidate for the posi tion of general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at this place, met the board of directors at a special meeting held in the association parlor Mondayjevening. There was nearly a full membership of the board present and the result of the meeting was most gratifying. Mr. Beruhard was pleased with what lie learned concerning the local field, while tlie directors, one and all. were more than pleased with Mr. Bernhard and believed that they saw in him a most successful Y. M. C. A. worker, both as to his ability to win and hold the boys and to assist in building up the association financially. After talk ing over the matter for about an hour, while Mr. Bernhard still remained in the room, it was unanimously decided to invite him to accept the position of general secretaryship of the Danville Y. M. C. A. Mr. Bernhard had al ready well considered the matter and he promptly accepted. Mr. Bernhard is a married man and is the father of three boys. He will enter upon his position here before July first. Previous to the meeting Mr. Beru hard met several of our citizens in the Y. M. C. A. rooms, among them a representative of this paper. He made a very fine impression. He is still young, although he has had plenty of experience and understands the ways of the world. He is a magnetic voung man whose earnestness and zeal are evident in every sentiment he uttered, in every gesture and in every glance of the eye. The effect of only a brief interview is such as to indicate that he should make a first class general secretary. Scottdale, where Mr. Bernhard at present is general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., is situated some fifty miles southeast of Pittsburg. It is a town of about 5000 inhabitants and supports a flourishing Y. M. C. A. Several very fine testimonials have been received by the board of directors here attesting to the very excellent results that have attended Mr. Bombard's labors in Scottdale. He took charge of the Y. M. C. A. there one year and a half ago. He found the association there in debt and poorly equipped. Not only has the indebtedness been liquidated and the equipment much improved by Mr. Bernhard, but now 011 the eve of his resignation there is a handsome surplus in the treasury. The people of Scottdale as is natural are very anx ious to retain Mr. Bernhard, but as he stated la>t evening he feels that he has accomplished about all that re mains for him to do in Scottdale and that the time has come when he should seek a new field.

Made mad by the flashing of a red dress in bis face a vicious bull attack ed the six-year-old son of Mr. Reich enbach, who resides on the farm of Hon. S. P. VVolverton near Klines grove.Monday nignt about six o'clock, and would have killed the boy but for the timely arrival of his father. The auiinal was in the barn yard wheu two young girls happened along, one of them was attired in a bright red dress and passing near the fence noticed that the crimson hue was quite distasteful to the annual, taunted him by waving her skirt in his face until he became highly infuriated. While the enraged animal was tear ing around tho barn yard the hoy en tered anil the bull made for him. Be fore he kuew what had happened him the animal had knocked the child down and was madly rolling him on the ground. Just as the animal was about to gore the child after a five minutes one sided tussle the father happened along and quickly grabbing a large pitch fork set to work to res cue his sou. By sinking the sharp prongs of the fork deep into the en raged animal the father after a despe rate encounter which lasted live min utes was successful in conquering the bull and saving the life of his son. " The injured boy was taken to Sun bury to the office of Or. Rice where his injuries were dressed. An exami nation showed that no bones were broken, but the boy's body was badly contused and it will be some time be fore lie fully recovers from the results of his awful experience Old Potatoes Scarce. The curb stone market is a small proposition at this season of the year, the greater part of the farm products required to supply the town being un loaded on the stores, which became the principal centers of distribution. Notwithstanding that new po tatoes, shipped from the south, are offered for sale, old potatoes have the call and the new ones are secondary in demand. Comparatively few old potatoes are brought to market by the farmers and these in most instances are sold out by the bushel. Persons who wish to buy in smaller quantities mostly do so at the stores. Potatoes were unusually scarce in market yes terday and there were many inquires at the wagons, but in every instance the answer was the same. The few potatoes that were brought into town were disposed of early at so cents per bushel. The stores nearly all, how ever, keep themselves supplied with old potatoes,which retail at about the same price. The merchants, however, state that few potatoes are coming into town and it is stated that there is only a limit ed supply on hand among the farmers, a circumstance that can be contem plated with equanimity in view of the fact that another new crop is already looming up. Old potatoes, however, will be an esseiftial article of diet in many households for six weeks to c ome. CHANGE PROPOSED IN STATE ROAD LAW The Harrisburg Star-Independent is advocating an amendment to the good roads law which will put upon the state seven-eighths of the cost of con struction and ui)on the township the other one-eighth, releasing the coun ties from any payment whatever. Its argument is that the one-eighth which the couu ies are now compelled to pay is an injustice to the cities and bor oughs which make and maintain their own highways. For example, one-half the amount paid by Dauphin count\ would really come out of Harrisburg, which furnishes about one-half the county revenues. There is much rea son in this, though a similar objection might be raised by any township in which 110 good road is constructed. It has to pay its share of the county s one-eighth for building a road some where else. The difference is that the township may sometime have the ad vantage of State aid while Harrisburg would not. If the change proposed by our contemporary were made it would at least take away from county com missioners the excuse they have had iu some instances for obstructing road improvement. In Dauphin county, for example,the applications were held up on the plea that the county had no money to pay its one-eighth of the cost. This is a condition to be avoid ed, but whether it should be done by putting the county wholly out of the work will need to be carefully con sidered. A STEADY DRAIN.

WAS A MONTOUR COUNT! BOY 1 COMMUNICATED.) One of the most touching incidents in all of the army career of the late Col. Eckman reads thus: Near the banks of lioaring creek still stands a crumbling home. It is silent now. For they are all gone—those who love it and who called it'' Home.'' An aged father once lingered there. He had two boys who were patriotic and at the first sound of civil war they left the plow and were soon lost in the swelling ranks of the Union army. They never came back. The one boy sleeps on the beautiful Heights of Arl ington where his kindred spirit still stands silent guard over the capitol of a re-uuited nation; the other boy is still lost in the mud of Wilderness. But that hopeful father would not give that lost boy up. He would not, he could not believe t hat he was dead. Somehow he thought that Col. Eck man, with whom he had enlisted, would send his lost boy back. And long did the Colonel, himself thrice wounded there, hunt for that lost boy in that "Dismal Swamp." For years tear-dimmed eyes shaded by trembl ing hands looked wistfully down that old "creek road" for that lost boy who never came back. And when the night wind* would rattle the heavy iron latch,that venerable father would start from his fitful sleep, and calling him by name, would rush to the door to greet that long-lost boy. Then a hand withered by toil would feebly grasp that I'itch and that old door would slowly open—but he was not there—that lost boy—he had gone for ever. Then would fall tears as dark as the night dew, tears that the world never saw. That was < vi-r forty years ago. Long since then the gates of Heaven have stood ajar t >r that still sorrowing old father, and there, let us hope, that he now holds in eternal embrace his long-10.-t b iv of the wilderness. THE AMERICAN HEN. All praise to the great American hen! as a money producer, in food— flesh and e^es —she lias no equal, and the oub fault that we can find with her is that she refuses to lay eggs in cold weather, and thereby allows the gambler in her products to squeeze the public. If the lieu would even up her egg laying, there would be 11 cold storage or stale product. Last winter, due to the iuild weather, the lieu did fine, but she caused the wrath of the cornerers of the food products by leav ing millions of cold storage epgs 011 their hands, to be sold at a tremen dous loss. On Thursday of last week there were received in New York City over 40,000 cases of eggs, containing 15,125,000 white ovals, with a value of $250,000. Most of the-e went into cold stor age, to be sold as strictly "fresh" next winter. The secretary of agri culture rcji irts that last year the eggs of the United States were worth more than the cotton or wheat, more than all the potatoes, the barley, the tobac co, the sugar cane and the rice. They almost equal the dairy product and are surpassed only by the corn crop,a good part of which is fed to the liens. The Congressional Record says that every three months the American hen pro duces more wealth than the capital stock of all the banks in the New York clearing house. In two months she lays more value than the annual production of all the gold mines in the United States. Her eggs for six months are worth more than the year's production of pig iron. 111 less than two years the American hen could pay off the debt of the United States. Notwithstanding the money to be made from poultry, there is a demand far beyond the supply. Even ut six teen to eighteen cents a pound, it is difficult, if not impossible to obtain poultry in the market, only at certain seasons of the year, and on one or two days of the week. There is great opportunity for pay ing chicken farms in the vicinity of towns or cities of any size. In Sunbury Jail* At present there are eighty-eight prisoners confined in the Northumber land county jail at Sunbury,and Ward en McDouuel has a very large family to care for. This is the largest num ber of persons in the jail for a long time anil the warden says that if any more are committed they will have to bring their beds along as every avail able cot is occupied. When Warden McDonnel took charge there were only forty-eight prisoners in the fort and this increase shows that business has picked up some. .'lore Wires on Peoples' Line. The People's Telephone company, of Strawberry Ridge, is making arrange ments to string another pair of wires on their line from Strawberry Ridgo to Swcnoda. This is made necessary because there are now ou the one pair of wires twenty-two subscribers, which is above the limit Thero is provision on the cross arms of the poles for the extra wires. Huckleberry Crop Every indication at this early day points to an abundant huckleberry crop. The branches are already filled with buds and they are so numerous and strong as to prognosticate a profit able season. Judging from the pre parations already made it will be a banner year for the huckleberry in dustry. The shipments will be unusu ally large. A Big Purchase.

MORE DOUBLE TRACK ON PENNSY Evidently determined not to let the present lack of traffic on this division of its road interfere with future pro gress, the Pennsylvania railroad on Thursday put into operation another work train at Catawissa. This train will be engaged all summer and well into the fall making various improve ments on the line between Catawissa and Sunbury. The chief work, how ever, will be the construction of two sidings, each about a mile long, one between Catawissa and South Dan ville and the other between South Dan ville and Sunbury. This will be two steps taken towards the realization of the double track system 011 this divis ion of the road, towards which the management is steadily working. The crew of this train, and the gang of workmen connected with it consists of about fifty men. All of these have been engaged at Catawissa, as it is at this point that the work train will make its headquarters. This train is not taking the place of any already or formerly in use, but is an addition to the regular forces and equipment of this division of the road. Officials say that in addition to these two sidings, others will be built in the next couple years, and it will be but a short time until the entire line from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury is double tracked. TAX PAYERS' ASSOCIATION. A tax payers' association,which has become popular in many other towns, is being advocated by some of our resi dents. Primarily such an organiza tion was intended to counteract tend ancy toward extravagance and to check unwise legislation on the part of councils; but of late years it has done good work in many towns such as ours, where the local legislative assem bly is not open to any such charge, by acting in harmony and co-operating with council. If the latter body is to represent the tax payers, it is reason ed,it can not he better assisted in this relation than by the tax payers them selves, who by organizing and looking carefully after their own interests, will ho able to suggest many things to council, which will he for the good of the municipality.
