It. .Miller, (■Jen'l Manager KALBFUS SCORES UNFAIR CAME LAWS HARRISBI RG, July s.—The State game commission held its semi-annual meeting at its new ollicc in the new capitol today, for the purpose of hear ing the semi annual report of Secre tary Kalbfus and the transaction [of routine busines- There were present President James 11. Wonlen, Harris- Iturg. secretary, Joseph Kalbfus, Har rislmrg :J. M. Phillips, Pittsburg; C. K Sober, Lewisburg; William Hey ward Meyers, Williamsport ;3£Dr. Charlt s li. Penrose, Philadelphia, and former State Treasurer Frank C. Harris, of Clearfield. A most encouraging condition of affairs regarding the increase of game in the State was presented by Secre tary Kalbfus, which is mainly due to the enforcement of tin- laws and the great interest the public is taking in game protection. The absence of forest tires has also tended to increase game, and Dr. Kalbfus commends the vigil ance of the authorities in this direc tion. Attention i» called to the fact that the game laws in some respects are un fair, and their rejieal is recommended. For instance a guuner in this State can only kill a certain number of migratory fowl, hut in adjoining States to which they fly when leaving Pennsylvania the gunners can kill as many as they please. There is also a law in this State providing a fiue of SSO for digging a rabbit out of its war ren. while the tine for shooting a rab bit is hut $lO, and Dr. Kalbfus wants to know wherein lies the difference. Again, the law imposes a fine of SSO for destroying a bird's nest on a tree, and yet the owner of a home, if he finds robins or other birds destroying his fruit or damaging his property can kill them indiscriminately, and there is no fine at all. Secretary Kalbfus strongly recoin mends that a law be passed making it a jienal offence for any unnaturalized foreign born resident to own a gun or any other kind of firearms. In the last six months five officers of the game commission, in hunting offenders against tin- game laws, have been shot at and wounded by foreigners,and one man was brutally murdered by Italians in the western part of the State, and hi\hotly thrown into the river.simply because he performed bis duty and prosecuted foreign violators of the game laws. The game wardens, by the way. are all doing go<nl work, and have pros ecuted many offenders, the fines from which goto the department. The department brought from Ala baina for propagating purposes, 3,547 quail.and they are all said to be doing finely. A number died on the way here, but in bringing quail here uext year Dr. Kalbfus will have them ship ped in a patent box which will admit of them getting light, air, food and water. Three sites foi game preserves have been selected, one in Clinton county, a second in Clearfield and a third in Franklin, all on forestry land owned by the State. The foreign quail have all been distributed throughout the State, and are reported to be ex ceptionally hardy. A brood of about twenty sickly ones, the poorest lot of tin- imported birds, were placed on an island in the Juniata river in Perry county, and every one of tliem is liv ing and hardy, and the brood has in creased to twice the original size. It was impossible to get deer or wild turkeys for propagating purixises, but the commission is on the watch and ready to purchase when opportunity offers. There are plenty of deer in captivity, but the owners will not ■ell. There are no wild turkeys pur chaseablc anywhere. Dr. Kalbfus recommends that a law IK- pa-sed requiring all resident hunt eis to take out a license, as is done in other states, and in this way make the department self sustaining. Atfpres ent only unnaturalized foreigners are required to to take out a hunting iT cense. During the half year there were col lected about SI,BOO in fines, of whcli SOOO went to informers. Dr. Kalbfus says that lie has informa tion to tin* effect that at a certain point in this State a flock of alwuif ioO wild pigeons have been nesting for the past two years. The wild pigeon dis appeared from this continent over twenty years ago, and Dr. Kalbfus is of the opinion that they may be com ing back. If so, stringent laws will 1»« passed for their protection. Two Coal Diggers. Two coal diggers belonging to North umberland parties are now employed daily, extracting coal near the bend of the ri»*er The coal diggers nre at work near the southern shore and the} each scoop up a boat load of fine coal every day. EVERYBODY TO GET FISH WOW In his semi-annual report to tlie Fisheries Conunisison which lias been approved by tlio commission ami has been sent to the Governor, Fish Comis siouer Median says that for I lie first time in the history of the Department itll of the applications for fish will he filled this year. Up to .Tune I, the ending of the first half of the fiscal year of the department, the out put by the department was 1391,450,000 fish. This number i-. more than 1,000,000 in excess of the output for the years of 1903, 11*01, 11)0.") combined, and is only f»,000,000 less than the output for the combined years of 1902, 1903, 1901 and 1905. Of the enormous number of fish put out by the department credit is given field work for 250,000,000. The fry were gathered by men sent to the lakes in Wavne and Pike counties, their efforts resulting in 250,000,000 young fish ; the report states that ninety-five per cent, of these would have died in the natur al state. It is hoped to fill applications for black bass during the coming months. The several hatcheries of the depart ment have produced 125,000 of this popular game fish and 05,000 have been procured in the field; the field work is expected to produce produce at least 10,(XX) more and it is hoped to have all of the fry ready to ship be fore August 1. Applications have been made for fish in the number named as follows: Trout, 5,000: pickerel, vellow perch, frogs, black bass and wall eyed pike, 500 each ; catfish, 200. Frogs are treat ed as "fish" in making up these sta tistics. The aggregate number of fish represented in these applications, ill round numbers, is -100,000,000. SHAD WORK ON THE DKLAWAKK The report states that the shad work in the Delaware river during the spring carried on by the Pennsylvania department in connection with the Federal, New York and New Jersey departments, was very successful. The Pennsylvania men gathered 3,130,000 shad spawn to be hatched at Torres dale. Nearly all of the fry will re main iv the Delaware. New York anil New Jersey is each to get a propor tionate share of the fry but of the amount credited to New York only 150,000 will be transferred to the Hud son river. The balance of New York's allotment will he placed in the Dela ware,as will the ent ire shares of Penn sylvania and New Jersey. During the work among the shad the Fishhawk, the Federal government's boat, gath ered 238,000 sha<l eggs. WHKKK MOSQUITOES BREED. Mosquitoes are breeding by the mil lion in the old canal and in a very short time the town no doubt will be infested as badly as last summer,when mosquitoes proved a greater jx*st than for many years past. This is only an other way in which the abandoned canal proves a nuisance to Danville. Some of the Pennsylvania towns that have stagnant water nearby in order to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes employ petroleum, which is poured upon the surface of the water. This of course would prove perfectly feasible in the canal,if any one could lie found willing to foot the bill. The mosquito's bite is bail enough, nut the insect is to be dreaded in oth er ways. It is now pretty well establ ished that the mosquito is responsible for the spread of malaria as well as yellow fever. Perhaps the board of health will take the matter up witii the borough council and recommend the use of petroleum in the old canal; also that council will see its way clear to adopt the recommendation of the board of health and do what it can to eliminate the mosquito nuisance. SWIMMEItS' PROTECTION. An example of the bravado and utter disregard for the law that is exhibited by certain of the juveniles of this community is shown by the rather unusual methods employed by a "gang" of boys to protect themselves from a watchman while swimming in foibidden waters. The ice pond on the Bennett estate possesses marked attractions for the youths as a swimming pool, more so probably liecause the pastime is pro hibited at that spot. It is the custom of Watchman John Kreiger to keep a sharp lookout about the poml to pre vent the boys from indulging their natatorial proclivities. A hard time he has of it too, for their ways are divers and dubious and difficult to cir cumvent. On Tuesday, however, the climax was reached. Mr. Kreiger was inform ed that the "gang" was in possession of the pond, and he hastening to rout the offenders,what was his surprise to hear the sharp command to "Halt!" and to find himself facing the busi ness ends of two dangerous looking gnus, behind which were two of the boys who were standing uuard over the jiool to protect their comrades from the depredations of the enemy. Mr. Kreiger, naturally, was at a h»> as to how to proceed, and think ing of no way to outwit the lads, beat a dignified retreat. After the first section had finished its bath,the members manned the guns and did guard duty, while the others had their swim. LOWERY BROS' SNOWS COMING Lowery Brothers' big shows are com ing to Danville and will exhibit on the furnace lot near the Heading sta tion, Monday and Tuesday, July it and 10. Lowery Bros.' circus has been seen in Danville before and has always given good satisfaction. This year the circus has a number of interesting features which will be new to Dan ville people. Manager Lowery takes great pride in the show this year and say- he considers it the best show lie has ever carried. A free show is given at the grounds every afternoon and evening. ■GUESS FISHES EVEKTFOL SESSION The first session of the fifty ninth congress went into history Saturday, it lias been a strenuous session from start to finish. The measure which caused the greatest debate is the rail road rate bill. Begun with the session its consideration continued out. The pure food enactment and the meat inspect ion provision are also im portant changes in the federal attitude, towards both the producer and con sumer of the country. A uniform and more strict method of naturalizing aliens was enacted. The immunity of witnesses from prosecution who give testimony before government tribunals was made the subject of an enactment which clearly states when such immunity obtains and when otherwise. A bill removing the internal revenue tax oil denatured alcohol was passed. LOOK-LKVKL CANAL SELECTED. The type of the Panama canal was fixed, thus settling a question which has perplexed both the professional and lay mind. The president is to build a lock-level canal, and was giv en a total of $:tii,ooo,000 for the year for that purpose. It was required that the material for the canal should be of American manufacture unless the president shall fiud the price excessive in which case he is given authority to buy abroad I'm c » mil ir sirsric >. ,vi; given a complete new legal status which will permit of an entire reorganization. When the appropriations for the ses sions are totaled it will lie found that their aggregate has reached nearly nine hundred million dollars. This is a greater sum than has been made available since rhe war congress of 18!tS. Of this amount $25,000,000 will go into new public bu.tilings in var ious section of the country. The leg islation on appropriation bills has the characteristic throughout of being re strictive upon the government depart ment heads in the matter of making tlieir expenditures and submitting their estimates to congress. It has been the desire of congress to put an end,as far as possible to deficiency ap propriations. SET HACK FOR NAVAL INCREASE The naval increase whieff has been going on annually, received somewhat of a set-back. The largest "battleship afloat" was authorized, but congress required that before bids for its con struction could be submitted,the plans must be sent to congress at its next session. The annual appropriation for the State militia was doubled and here after (HH>, OOO will be spent from tin- Federal treasury for the purpose of keeping the State military organiza tions in touch with the regular army. Congress gave vent to the draft of a bill intended to preserve the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls, ami the mea sure was passed. The tariff to be collected by the Philippine government on goods en tering the island trade, was revised. A measure of importance to railroad and other emploves engaged in hazard ous employments, known as the em ployers' liability bill, became a law. The government will participate in the Jamestown centennial exposition and $1,355,000 was authorized expend ed out of the federal treasury for that event. Speedy appropriation for the Sail Francisco sufferers resulted from re quests by the president. Two and a half million was donated directly and supplies from the stores of the govern ment nearly equal that amount. Private pension legislation for tho benefit of the old soldiers who are un able to receive a pension under the statute laws kept up its usual heavy pace. Installation of Officers. The installation of officers took place on Monday night at Montour castle, No. lHti, Knights of the Golden Eagle. The installing officer was F. M. Her ri ugton, District Grand Chief,assisted by Grand Castle officers. The officers were installed as follows: Past chief, Francis Hartman ; noble chief, Lafay ette Foust; vice chief, Bradley Me- Lain; high priest, Charles Wagner; venerable hermit, Albert Bookniiller; sir herald, John Mitchell: ensign, Ja cob Miller; esquire, A. Stead; first guard, John Foulk; second guard, Edward Lunger; worthy chamberlain, David llaring; worthy hard, Dallas Hummer; trustee, Walter Gaskins. There was a large attendance. It was a most enjoyable occasion and the inspiring interest, manifested was due to the fact that a new cave was instal led and fully demonstrated during the session which adds beauty and perfec tion to the newly equipped parapher nalia which has been recently placed in service. The equipment has shown a marked effect on the welfare of the castle. Children like Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar. The pleasautest and best, cough syrup to take, bet tuse it contains no opiates.

LITTLE COONS' QUEER STUNTS Tlie throe little racoons, which for a couple of weeks past have been an at traction in the window of M. 11. Schram's store, Mill street, have been removed to DeWitt's Park where they will remain the balance of the season. The little animals have been viewed by thousands of persons while at Mr. Schram's -tore. Frequently the side walk has been nearly blocked ny peo ple, who were crowding around the window. The little animals seem to understand that a good deal is expect ed of them and they are just as amus ing as they can be. Indeed, their an tics at times surpassed all belief. They are natural little acrobats. To bring out their accomplishments Mr. Schram installed a small horizontal bar and a swing. The coons seemed to divine the use of each and while one mounted the bar the other took the swing and in a short time they were doing stunts that rivaled the performance of tin? most accomplished human actors. Ev ery day they add something to their accomplishments. They reached the climax on Thursday evening, how ever, when they learned how to turn out the gas. Suddenly Mr. Schram be came aware that the front part of the store was in darkness and upon in vestigating he found that one of the coons had managed to reach the Wels bach burner and turned out the light. The burner was relighted, but it was only a few minutes until one of the coons had climbed up tlie window and turned off the gas for the second time. Of course the logical conclusion would be that the coons in their inquisitive and meddlesome way unconsciously manipulated the tliiimb screw which turned off the gas without knowing that there would be any effect, al though many persons indulge the pleas ing fancy that the young coons knew exactly what they were about and turned off the gas because at night they preferred darkness to artificial light.

Some days ago an employe of the locomotive shops of the Heading Rail way company, at Reading, was killed by the accidental fall of a steel hook from a traveling crane. His skull was fractured and his left arm torn off. The coroner's jury in its verdict sug gested that if any modern device were in existence for more securely fasten ing s.iid steel hooks it ought to be ad opted. That jury did the thing right. Human life is too precious a commod ity to permit this reckless waste.

The term "cooler" applied to the lock-up in these days of hot weather records is a misnomer; judging by its effect on tint unhappy offender who languishes for awhile under its roof it might more properly be termed a "sweat box." The broad shed roof of the low building receives the rays of the mid-summer sun nearly vertically with the result that the close stuffy in terior becomes heated up to an intense degree. Men who emerge from tlie building after a few hours confinement in the day time are soaked with per spiration and present a decidedly wilt ed apperance.

KIBE THIEF'S MB FEEL Wire thieves have made their ap pearance in this vicinity. The Dan ville and Sunbury trolley line was the first attacked. The thief, however, failed to get any wire, but instead came very near being caught by fall ing into his own trap. The affair rook place a couple days ago and although instantly discovered by the company nothing was said about tht' matter. The time was im proved by quietly working along sev eral lines in the hope of finding the gurilty party, who according to indica tions was a novice, unaccustomed to cutting trolley wire. The morning following the visit of the thieves the copper wire, about three eighths of an inch thick, was found cut in two at a point about mid way between town and the hospital for the ins..no. It was plain that the thief had climbed the pole and obliv ious of what might occur when the tightly drawn copper wire was severed had crawled out along the iron arm that carries the wire and with a stout nippers or other tool began work. A glance sufficed to show what had oc curred. When the wire snapped in two each portion relieved of the strain, under its weight,flew backward with terrific force. The arm to which the man was clinging was given a sudden jerk and carried around by one section of the wire. Naturally he lost his hold and was precipitated to the roadway, and there in the mud was the imprint of his body where lie fell. The height of the fall was quite sufficient to cause injury and that the man was more or less disabled would be inferred from the fact that no further attempt was made to secure the wire. An examination of the wire showed the nature of the instrument used in cutting it. Had none of the plans fail ed the thief would have secured a couple of thousand feet of good copper wire.

Trial iMittle free- CON(,>U KRS K A TTLESN AK E. A live rattlesnake proved an attrac tion to a large crowd of people on Mill street Saturday night. The snake was three feet long and was brought, up from the Dit7.h r farm about two miles below Cameron by Harvey Gard ner, who is employed at the saw mill on the Ditzler tract. The snake was caught by a woman, Mr. Gardner's wife, who evidently does not share in the very common dread of snakes. Mrs. Gardner Saturday was at some distance from her house when slio en countered the rattlesnake. Seizing a club she entered into a combat with the serpent. With one well directed blow she quieted the snake and it lay as if dead. Catching rattlesnakes, which are wanted for skins, is some thing of an industry along the moun tain. Stooping down Mrs. Gardner picked uj) the apparently dead snake and started toward the house. The suak", however, was only stunned and before long it began to do some lively squirming. The woman, made a dash and managed to fling the rattler into a cage prepared for snakes before it got into a position to do any harm. The cage was a plain box covered with a wire screen. As the rattler lay imprisoned Mr. Gardner's children crowded aroun 1 and the serpent be came very savage. In attempting to strike at the children the poisonous fangs of the snake became entangled in tl "> screen. At this juncture Mrs. Gardner again distinguished herself and seizing a small pincers, by a clev er bit of dentistry, succeeded in ex tracting one of the venomous fangs. In this condition the big rattler was brought to town Saturday night. It was still full of game and showed that it only wanted the opportunity to in flict a mortal bite. It was taken back to the Ditzler farm. A sweet breath adds to the joys of a ki.-s. You wouldn't want to kiss your wife, mother or sweetheart, with a bad breath.

Another severe storm visited Ber wick Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. Hundreds of trees were blown down, garuen crops were ruined and thousands of dollars damage was done in the T minutes the storm lasted. Lightning struck a number of build ings but they were all cold strokes. The barn \V. Seibert was un roofed. One of the big overhead elec trical traveling cranes at the A.C. & F.

There were four cases of typhoid fev er, with one resultant death, rejwrted. There were two cases of pneumonia, , but not a single case of contagious disease was reported. Only fifteen deaths occurred in the district last month. Of this number six deaths occurred at the hospital for the insane and one at the convent, leav ing only eight as belonging to the dis trict proper. The death rate was low er than at any time since the law re lating to vital statistics has been in effect. The deaths are always very prompt ly reported to the local registrar; in the matter of births there is always delay incidental to naming the child, etc., so that it is not until some time during the month succeeding that the full number of births to offset the deaths becomes known. In May there were thirty-one births as against seven teen deaths. In the period covered by the new law, between January 1, ltMHi, and May 30th, following, there were 1 lit births as against 101 deaths for the same period. Twenty Year Battle.

In digging a foundation for concrete walls t he depth varies accord ing to the nature of the ground. Here and there at the new building a hard bottom was found at a slight depth, while a few feet further on sand or the like occurred, which made it neces sary to dig to a greater depth. At the hospital very little difficulty was ex perienced in finding a solid bottom for the heavy walls of concrete. From this point on the building will be pushed very rapidly. As many men are employed as can work to an ad vantage, but a larger number will be employed as the work progresses. Try a little KODOL F(>li DYSPEP SIA after your meals.

A. 0 The fans who remained away from DeWitt's park Friday afternoon missed a battle royal between the Dan ville A. A. and their worthy oppon ents the Cuban Giants. Hummer and McCloud were in the points for the locals and the balance of the team worked behind McCloud with the reg ularity of grandfather's clock, pulling down the high ones and scooping up tlie low ones in a way that made the spectators sorry they had not paid fifty cents instead of twenty-five to witness so fine an exhibition. Up to the ninth inning Hertz was the only one man to reach the third corner and the hits up to this point were so few that it took a magnifying glass to locate them 011 the score sheet. Bradley and Abbott did the trick for the Giants and did it to perfection. The locals had only one strike out while McCloud whiffed six of the vis itors. The final score was 1 to 0 in favor of the Giants, the winning run being made in the ninth inning. The six last games played with the Cubans the total number of runs made by the two teams was only It!. It is to be re gretted that the attendance was so small. It is most lamentable that the at tendance at Friday's game was not larger. The small number of persons present, the base ball management states, is due to the fact that the grand stand, which was blown over in a re cent storm has not been replaced and a great many of the fans being averse to standing in the sun, were absent from the game. For this reason the base ball man agement has cancelled all home games and also declined an offer made Fri | day to book the Cuban Giants for J July 7th. The score : CUBAN GIANTS. R. 11. O. A. E.

The Zand . i river, carrying a huge volume of w iter two miles in width, as it r. aelies the western borders of Rho desia precipitates itself Into a cavern ous g nge ami thus traverses the north ern plains o!' the country.

I;: deterred. the lUiodesian engineers, without detracting from the natural beauty of the surroundings, threw across the canyon a splendid <550 foot eantalever bridge and thus opened the way to Tanganyika, to Uganda, to Cairo. This bridge, the greatest railway eu giuecriug triumph of Africa, deserves more than passing notice. It consists of a central span weighing approxi mately 1.000 tons, •""" feet in length and 30 feet wide. Tlie steel work is of rolled steel weighing 400 pounds to tlie cubic fit.it. The end posts of the bridge are over 100 feet long. The pull 011 the anchorage apj ..this i • about 100 tons.

'1 he elec trical conveyor of this •>.ble way was capable of dealing with a ten ton ! iad at a lifting speed of twenty feet lier minute and a traversing speed of.".<*) feet a minute. All initial difficulty in the construc tion of the bridge was the securing of a linn foundation, and owing to the crumbling nature of the bank a much greater quantity of concrete was neces sary than estimated. The construction was happily unat tended by accidents of a serious nature, though a few slight accidents to body work and ti:e replacing from England of one piece of steel work were record ed. 111 spite of these delays the bridge was linked up at 7 a. 111. 011 April 1, 11105. or exactly forty-eight hours ear ller than had been estimated a year be fore.
