The magnetic influence of the en

worked so strongly on Thomas R.

reclaimed the old homestead and will
remodel it to spend the remainder of
his life in retirement.
He has given (infers to Architect W
J -fury of Shamokiii to prepare plans
for placing the old structure in a mod
em condition and when all improve
ments an- made it will be one of tin
fine-t conn try homes in this vicinity.
Mr. Jones is a descendant of the

A DEAL IN MONEY.
The Butler Times says the foreign
ers in that county are in the habit of
using all sorts of queer receptacles for
tin r savings. It tolls of one woman
it Lyndora who discovered that the
r ii- had badly mutilated money to the
amount of -10. The woman gathered
up the fragments and took them to a
merchant to whom she offered them
for s- He looked them over and ac
cepted the offer. Presently the merch
ant's partner came along and offered
s.'<» for the collection. It was accept
ed, whereupon the new owner went
to work sorting and pasting to such
Rood effect that later on the govern
ment sent "him the full value of the
bills. When the woman heard the story
she brought suit to recover the money
but the evidence showed that she had
been a willing seller.
In Role of Steeple Climber.
D. C. Williams, the well-known
slater, Monday assumed the role of
steeple climber. He is making repairs
on the tower of St. Hubert's Catholic
church and in order to reach the bronze
bull on the spire it was necessary to
perform a feat in climbing that was
nothing short of thrilling.
Hising above tfie first division of the
steeple in which the bell is fixed, ~Ts
another and narrower section, which
in turn is surmounted by the spire bear
ing the bronze ball and the gilded
cross, the whole being some eighty
feet in height. In making the repairs
110 scaffolding was used, ladders solely
being employed. To reach the two first
divisions of tfie tower was a compara
tively easy task, bur when it came to
making the repairs on the spire and
re tching the big ball quite a different
problem presented itself. It was this
I>irt of the work that Mr. Williams
had in hand Monday.
A long ladder was dragged up the
steeple and. made secure at the base,
was leaned against the spire, enabling
tin climher to reach every part of the
latter along with the ball under
neath the cross. A cool head, nerve
and much experience is required in
performing a job such as this is and
while sealing the steeple the workman
attracted much attention from the
street

RETURNED FROI
LONG TRIP
Jacob Duster Saturday evening re
(urued homo from a leugthv trip,
which embraced ;i tour through the
southern part of the Union and a visit
to San Francicso, Denver and other
interesting point-.
Mr Dosti r left Danville four weeks
ago. Proceeding to New Orleans, he
made a trip through the southern part
of Texas and Lower California. He
visited Li is Augeh - and San Francisco
following up the trail of the great
earthquake for a considerable distance.
At San Francisco, he savs, scarcely
more than a beginning has been made
in clearing away the ruins caused by
the great earthquake and fire.
The debris is thrown a-nlc from flu*
middle of the streets and thus the dec
trie cars are enabled to run ; but this
is the only sign ol order -and on every
side are towering and crumbling walls
and heaps of brick and mortar. The
picture is desolate and forbidding in
the extreme. One or more of the large
department stores have erected one
story buildings in wliicn they are
temporarily doing business on a reduc
ed scale.
Returning home Mr. Doster reached
Denver before the Elks had departed.
From Denver he proceeded to Memphis
and finished his journey by way of
Washington, lb- had a most interest
ing trip and found in every part he
visited the best of crops anil evidences
of unprecedented prosperity.
Man n-Wendel.
On Thursday evening, Mis- Anna
M. Wendcl was united in marriage to
Alexander .1. Mann at the Trinity
Lutheran parsonage, Rev L. D. Ulrich
officiating.
The wedding was a very quiet one,
only a few of the immediate relatives
and friends being present. After the
ceremony, the bride and groom went
to their newly furnished residence on
Vine street, where they will reside.
Sustains Bad Accident.
David McCarty, a well-know n resi
dent of Anthony township, i- c infilled
to his home a- the result of a very had
accident sustained a day or so ago.
Mr. McCarty, w hose home is near Me
Koe's Height.-, was cradling grain,
when he discovered a hornet's nest
along the fence.
He Concluded to dislodge the boni
est- and laying down the cradle made
an assault on the nest. The hornets
resenting intrusion came pouring out
upon him. He was obliged to beat a
hasty retreat and while fighting off
the hornets unconsciously stepped
backward into the cradle wedging his
foot in between the scythe and tin
first finger. In the struggle with the
insects before he could release his foot
the sharp blade had cut a shocking
gash just in the rear of the ankle,sev
ering the muscle.- and causing great
loss of blood. Just what the final ef
fects of the injury may be can not be
foretold.
Bitten by Snake.
The sixteen-year old daughter of
Lewis Johnson, of Little Roaring
creek, was bitten Friday morning
by a copperhead snake.
The girl was picking berries near
her home when she felt i siiarp -tin;,'
on her right ankle. Looking down -he
was horrified to see the copper colored
reptile at her feet.
She ran to the house anil told her
mother (if what had happened. The
girl was immediately driven to the
office of l)r. Harpel, this city. By the
time of her arrival there the ankle had
swollen considerably. Antidotes for
the poison were administered. • The
prompt action in hurriedly taking the
girl to where medical attention conld
be received no doubt saved her life.
Boy .Sustains Terrible Injuries.
John Pelhanski, aged ;i years, who
resides with his father on a farm near
Paxiuos, was the victim of a terrible
accident which occurred on Sunday
evening.
The little fellow was engaged in as
sisting his father in driving two mules
from tin; bam and when lie got too
close to one of the mules, which is very
stubborn and wild, the mule kicked
the boy in the head with terrible re
sults. He was felled to the ground in
an unconscious condition and was car
ried to the home hy his father.
Realizing that the boy had suffered
most serious injuries Dr. Albert and
Dr. Ga ringer, of Elysburg, were quick
ly summoned and upon examination
they found that the iron hoofs of the
mule had completely caved in the
frontal boms of the boy's head, both
sides of the skull was fractured and
the membrane covering the gray mat
ter of the brain were torn in such a
manner that part of the brain protrud
ed from the wound made in the front
part of the head
Monday afternoon Drs. Albert and
Garitiger, assisted by Dr. Meek, of
Shamokiii, performed a most delicate
operation and most remarkable to
state the boy rallied and has a chance
to recover.

'IN THE CUSTODY
OF SHERIFF iAIERS
Daniel Kennedy, the thirteen-year
old boy who was found guilty of effect
ing forcible entrance into the first
ward school building at tie May term
of court,and w ho \\;is placed b\ Judge
Kvans under the care of Chief of Ho
lier ,l. c. Minceuioyer as a probation
officer, seems to have forgotten the
promises he made to be good and is
now back in the custody of th . icrilF,
a self conf essed t hiel.
During the month or that have
.elapsed since court no particular com
plaints were heard concerning tin
Kennedy boy until Thursday, when he
became an object of suspicion by rea
son of possessing a sum of money larg
er than would likely fall into hi
hands honestly.
It was during the afternoon that In
appeared at Orth's barber shop, South
Danville,and secured change for a ran
dollar bill. A short time afterwards
he returned and wanted change fur a
five dollar bill. Being asked to \-
plaiu, the boy -who was accompanied
by another lad named Joseph Seaman
—stated that they were getting the
change for a man who had gone down
the railroad hut would return. Sus
picion by this time was aroused ; the
change was refused and the officers of
Danville were notified of the occur
rence.
Some time later it became known
that William Beyers, a half brother of
Dan Kennedy had missed seven dol
: lars. It was learned that before going
! to Riverside the boy had gotten a two
dollar bill changed in this city,which
with the livo dollar bill presented in
I South Danville,accounted for the mi
j ing seven dollars. The dollar which
was changed at the barber shop, of
course,was a portion of the change re
reived for the two dollars
Neither Kennedy nor Seaman could
be found Thursday evening and it wa
supposed that they had gone to North
umberland. Friday forenoon, how
ever, if was learned that the two bo\s
were in Danville. The intention of
Kennedy, who was still accompanied
by young Seaman, if would seem was
to get out of town. The boy* were (ir.-t
seen near ihe I). L. <V \V. depot, hut
at the sight of Ollicer Voris they beat
a hasty retreat up the track. Justice
of the Peace Oglesbv, who was on the
spot, started in one direction and the
officer took the other to head otf the
boys, but the latter who were on the
I*. it K. switch seeing that they wen
likely to be cornered climbed down
the high trcstling and ran up the D.
L.it W. track They wore fleet l'o ited
enough to escape Chief of Police Min
cemoyer, who was coming down the
railroad. They next sought the I'. A:
R. station and were coming down the
track just as Squire Ogleshy unob
served by tlietn—was entering the sta
tiou from the west. Through valuable
assistance rendered I>>• Walter Ku-sell,
who was called upon to assist, the boys
were captured and held until the ollic
ers arrived.
Kennedy admitted his theft, lie took
the money—seven dollars -lie said,
from under the carpet, where it was
secreted.
Thursday evening tin- boys went to
Bloomsburg, returning at a late hour.
During the night they slept iiva house
car in company with a tramp.
The five dollar bill the boys said,
they succeeded in getting changed in
Bloomsburg. With the i \ception of a
few cents none of the tnoiioy was re
covered. The officers on examining tin
man who shared the house car with
the bovs the night before found some
thing over a dollar on his person, but
he stoutly protested that the money
was his own.
The officers brought the boys down
town. Seaman was sent home and
Kennedy was given into the custody
of the sheriff and is still in jail. When
before court in May Judge Evans told
the boy that he would not send him to
the house of refuge at that time but
would give hint another chance. He
then made an order, which in effect
suspended sentence and placed the boy
under the care of the chief of police
as probation oflicer.

US TO TAB
There are not a few JA isous in Mon
tour county, especially in the borough
j of Danville, who, no matter what pro
c -of figuring they employ, seem un
: aide to understand why their taxes
this year should be slightly in advance
of what they were last year.
While, no doubt, to a large number
lof tax payers the subject is perfectly
l plain, yet there are others to whom
the manner in which 1.1.V - are asses?
Ed is not as clear as it might be,while
1 there are still others, probably well
informed on the subject, who lose
j sight of the fact that this year there
is a slight advance in the total mill
' age over last year.
The following brief explanation may
he 112 inind of value :
The county tax is :i'.J mills,the same
1 as in 1905.
The borough tax is K mills, same as
last year.
The school tax is 7 mills, one mill
more than in ISKtt.
The poor tax is 3mills,one-half mill
more than la>t year.
The total millage tax for all pur
poses, it will be seen, in the borough
of Danville is 21mills for JiMMJ.
In connection with the above it must
be remembered that the school board
assesses a per capita tax of one dollar
Jon each and every male inhabitant 2!
years of age and upwards. This per
capita tax is in lieu of occupation tax
and hv way of futhor explanation, it
might be remarked that the school
board does not assess the occupation
>f any person for school purposes.
Further, in the borough of Danville
and Mahoning township, which con
stitute the Danville and Mahoning
poor district, there is no tax collected
oil the occupation of the individuals.
Elsewhere in the county, in Washing
tonville md in the several townships,
of course poor tax i- collected on oc
cupation and on all property.
The following examples will illust
rate the foregoing: A man has a piece
of real estate valued at one thousand
dollars 1 iir- occupation is one hundred
dollars making a total valuation of
eleven hundred dollars. According to
tiie above statement, his county tax at
:5!.j mills Would be£.)..Ss; his borough
tax at s mills would be SB.BO. The
poor board drops the occupation, one
hundred dollars, and at :> mills makes
the tax >SOO. The school board also
drops the occupation and at 7 mills
makes the tax $7.00, adding the per
capita tax of ssl.oo, making the tax
<>o.

GOMPANY F.
RETURNS HI!
Company F, Twelfth regiment, N.
G. under Captain J. ISeaver Gear
liart and accompanied by Major C. P.
Gearhart and Assistant Surgeon l)i
Cameron Sliultz. came marching home
Saturday afternoon from their week's
encampment at Gettysburg. This com
pany arrived in a special car attached
to the afternoon passenger train din
to arrive at South Danville at 2.21,
lull which Saturday was about halt an
hour late.
The boys,although bronzed from the
week's exposure, were in the best of
spirits and marched down Mill street
with an agile step. Captain Gearhart
states that Company F was especially
fortunate and that not one of its mem
bers fell the victim of illness or a mis
hap of any sort. The conditions at
Gettysburg are nearly ideal for camp
ing. As arranged at present tho tent
ed field occupies an immense area of
ground with the result that there is
an utter absence of crowding. It hap
pened to ho the special good fortune
of Company F to occupy a point con
venient to town, where the sod was
growing green and the tents had the
appearance of being pitched on a green
lawn. In addition there was a certain
freedom granted the soldiers which
diil not obtain before. The guardsmen
wore permitted to enter the town with
out the usual passes required in the
past. Many of the boys embraced the
opportunity to visit every part of the
great battle field, making a thorough
study of the battle and familiarizing
themselves with the history of that im
portant epoch.
Life in camp it is true,does not par
take wholly of an outing. There are
strenuous duties and now and then
hard knocks, but the camp just closed,
Captain Gearhart states, was one of
the best "summer schools of the sol
ider" that the Pennsylvania guards
men have ever had.
The local company was the only one
in the Third brigade that had its lull
complement of sixty-lire men, the
maximum strength, on the field for
muster, the morning of inspection.
This is indeed a rare occurrence, as
companies may be recruited to full
steugth and at the last minute have
men on furlough either by illness or
by detention at home for other causes.
The company had the honor of fur
nishing the bugler for regimental
headquarters. The bugler was Ed
ward Robinson, of Catawissa, former
ly of the regular army. It is worthy
of remark that he was the best bugler
that the 12th regiment ever had and at
the present time is the best one in the
third brigade.

COAL COMPANY
IS MOVING HOUSES
The latest developments at Centrali'i
seem to indicate that tFie coal corpora
tion, which so brutally threatened t >
engulf into its mines many of tin
homes and busines- plan of that h ir
ougli, are, afraid to force the issue
when the eritical moment arrives. The
tir.-,t house marked for destruction was
the Martin Malouey home. Mr. Mai
oney owns two lots where his home i v
located near the outskirts of the town,
and the mine working- liavi come mi
dangerously near the surface tint the
property was roped off as dangerous
The owner, however, courageously re
fused to he driven from his hardcarii
ed home, and maintained that lie
would sink with the home rathei than
move.
When the mountain would not come
to Mahomet, the latter had to „-o to
the mountain; so also \vhen Mr. Mal
ouey would not he frightened from hi>
home by the coal company, the com
pany came to him and offered him two
other lots in a safe location in ex
change for his old site and further
offered to move his house to the new
site. '1 he offer was accepted and the
house is now being moved.
The Patrick McDonnell estate next
to the Malouey property is also en
dangered, audit is understood the
same sort of a proposition has been
made to the owners by the coal com
pany, and the McDonnell house will
also be moved to a new site.
For the preseut time, these are the
only properties in danger,aud iu view
of tliis fact, and the apparent backing
down of the coal companies, the com
mittee of nine appointed by the citi
zens to take measures to protect the
town property are just now withhold
ing action watching developments. If
it is decided necessary Judge Evans
will be petitioned to grant in cham
bers an injunction on the coal com
pany, but there are now hope that
drastic measures may not be required.
In line with the theory that the coal
company contemplate giving other
land for threatened property, and re
moving all buildings to a safe loca
tion, conies the report of an alleged
j conversation as follows:
j SHOULD MOVE THE TOWN.
One of Oentralia's widely known
! citizens was overheard by a newspaper
man in conversation with a well
known coal operator on the train the
other evening, aud the Contralia man
predicted the downfall (whether into
the mines or not lie did not state) of
Centralia iu a very short time. He
stated that two houses are being now
moved to places of safety to keep them
from being engulfed by caverns and
that many others will have to follow.
He stated that the Reilly property is
endangered and would have to tie mov
ed.
The Primrose vein is being worked
now and the veins run very close to
the top aud iu some places crop out
entirely. Now the vein is fourteen
feet thick and getting thicker nearer
the surface. Those will all be work
ed. and to get the coal the town of
Centralia or a goodly portion of it.
must bo sacrificed.
Years ago when collieries were tirst
opened up and crude methods were
employed in uiiuing.the smaller veins
were let alone and only the larger
ones mined. In these later days when
modern machinery greatly simplifies
the work of miuing and everything .is
gotten down to a nicety, nearly all of
the veins are being worked. Veins as j
small as two and one half feet are bo- '
iug worked and in some instances two
foot veins are being worked.
This Centralian was of the opinion
that Centralia is situated in the wrong !
place and stated that the town should
have been laid out up on the flat to '
I the north.

The street commissioner has several
men employed in scraping out the gut
ters where these have become pretty
well clogged u]i with ground. This
adds to appearance and places the town
in better condition for heavy rains.
On several of the streets near the
center of town a good deal of loose
ground has accumulated, which is mud
and dust by turns. This should be
scraped up and hauled awa.v along
with the accumulations in the gutters.
Until this is done these streets will
present a very uninviting appearance
