PUPILS MUST MEND THEIR WHS Judging from a candid expression of opinion indulged in by several mem bers of the school board it would seem that the boys and girls of the first ward schools stand in danger of los ing a great deal of the freedom at pre sent enjoyed during the recess period, if they do not sjieedily abandon sever al practices, which reflect discredit on the school. Under the present rules the pupils, especially those of the high school, at recess are permitted to leave the school grounds and meander to almost any point, if by so doing they get back to the building by the time school goes into session. The directors claim that the boys and girls are sadly prone to abuse these privileges. One of the directors referred to has noticed that the boys, who of course, are not permitted to smoke about the school grounds, anil who probably are not supposed to smoke at all, at recess seek the Y. M C. A. and there in the shadow of that institution, which is understood to stand for purity and obedience in boys,habitually indulge | in cigarettes or in pipes. This practice, the director said, i- not only detri mental to the boys, but it is giving a i great deal of concern to the general 1 secretary of the Y. M. C. A , who is | doing what he can to break ui> the | practice. Another director has observed that the girls at recess habitually stroll down town. On starting out the ob jective point seems to be the post office ! corner, after which in little groups ■ they stroll up and down Mill street. Notwithstanding that they are on the principal thoroughfare and that the streets may be crowded they have the habit of walking abreast and crowd ing pedestrians, who have business on the sidewalk,clear off into the gutter. The disrespect or thoughtlessness shown by the school girls,the director claimed, is often appalling. With arms linked and five or six abreast taking up every inch of room, they come sweeping along with an utter disregard for others. The director re lated an experience of his own in which he said, he was obliged to get out in the gutter and hold onto a hitching post while the phalanx of budding femininity swept imiierious lv by. Other directors expressed themselves in the same strain, agreeing that if less complaint is not heard concerning the conduct of pupils the proper tiling to do will be to adopt a rule obliging them to remain on the school grounds during recess. The matter will prob ably be discussed at the next meeting of the school board. A LASTING EFFECT. m Tl is Evidence Should Pr.iVe Every Claim Made for Doan's Pills in DanviiK Relief from the pains and aches of a bail back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what is waut ed. <'ure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest eviu ence to prove it: Thomas Lewis, retired, of tlli Mill street, says:"l can only reiterate my former statement made in IH'.m; about Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me eight years ago and the cure then made has been lasting and I have had no return of my old trouble. Before using them I was troubled with back ache. I used everything recommended but got no relief. The lameness over the kidneys and the terrible aching continued in spite of everything that I did and there seemed to be no relief for me. I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills and read the statements made by people who had used them and con cluded to try them. They not only re moved the lameness and backache but they benefitted my health in general. They also relieved the headaches to which I had been subjected for a con siderable length of time. I can recom mend Doans' Kidney Pills us a reli able backache and kidney cure." Por sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

State Highway Commissioner Hunt er is urging upon the local authorities of every county in Pennsylvania the necessity of co-operating with the de partment for the passage, by the next Legislature, of .t bill increasing tire appropriation for public roads if they want constructed all the roads for which certain counties have already asked State aid. For example, the amount of money appropriated to Beav er county, which has al cady applied for State aid to build fifty one miles of road, for use until .June 1, 11)07, is *l2 ,921.31. The apportionment for 1907-1908 then becomes due, and amounts to #16,004.49, making a total of *."j8,»25.80 available for use until June 1, 11)08, at which time the 11)08- 1901)apportionment,amounting to 004.4!), becomes due,making a total of ♦74,1)30.29 available for road building until June 1, 15101). The total State share of roads constructed and con tracted for amounts to about $58,937. • 80. The apportionment to Beaver conn | ty until June 1, 11)08 has been entirely consumed,and the work i- consequent ly hampered. Argument Saturday. Court convened Saturday morning at !0 o'clock for argument with his honor Judge C. C. Kvans and Associ ates Blee and Wagner on the bench. Owing to the absence of R S. Ammer man, one if the counsel interested, court rose without transacting any business. It was agreed to hold court next Sat urday for the purpose of hearing argu ment on the exceptions filed to the re port of the viewers on the river road in Mahoning township; also for liear iug'argument of exceptions to road in Limestone township near the farm of ('lark Benfield. This year has certainly been liberal in the matter of crops TELEPHONE MPANIES MKSOLIMTE One of tlie most important telephone deals in recent years, which may have a }<r«»iit effect in the near future upon lou# distance rates in this ami nearb> States, was consummated at a meeting of capitalists held at Philadelphia last week. The American Union Telephone Company was at that meeting brought into working existence, the company having heen incorporated at llarris burg on May 31. The new company links together by purchase and lease a number of in dependent telephone companies of Pennsylvania, Southern New York, Northern Virginia. Maryland and West Virginia, and by extensions, connec tions and betterments,combining these companies into one complete system of local and long distance telephone transmission, which, with a traffic agreement with the Keystone Tele phone Company, of Philadelphia, est ablishes a system that stretches from the Atlantic coast across New Jersey, Delaware and the States above men tioned.

Philadelphia Press UK'S GOOD STUFF. They have a preacher in Coatesville who answers to the singular name of Pinchbeck, but he seems to be made of good stuff, for he is conducting a class among his members for the study of the Bible which had an attendance of sixty at the last meeting, although the enrollment is but fifty-sveen. Any teacher who can get his entire class and three visitors out may certainly be prououueed a success. The political bee is beginning to buzz pretty fiercely these days. TO IMPROVE SCHOOL GROUNDS An improvement is on foot at the grounds of the first ward school build ing, which, it is hoped, will have the effect of keeping the grounds clean and dry,thereby making it more pleas ant for pupils and promoting cleanli ness in the school rooms. Heretofore in times of rain the school ground un der the tramp of hundreds of little feet became like a mortar bed anil the result, was that immense quantities of mud were carried into the building. In order to improve the play ground at a previous meeting of the school board it was decided to order a car load of crushed limestone from Lime Ridge and to spread it on the ground as an experiment. The material has arrived and Tuesday a team was em ployed hauling the crushed limestone from the car to the school building where it was spread over the play ground in a thin course. The material is ground very fine and seems to answer the purpose nicely. Under the tramp of a mulitudeof feet it. instantly becomes packed solid up on the ground. It is very clean and in a short time, it is said, will become quite hard and dry, regardless of the weather. Mud is a groat annoyance at each of the other school buildings and if the crushed limestone is a success in the first ward the intention is to use it at the school buildings in each of the other wards of borough.

Died in the West. A letter was received in this city yesterday from Coulterville, Cal.. an nouncing the death of Benjamin W. Tomlinson, which occurred at that place ou September 28th. The deceas ed was a native of Danville. He was an uncle of Mrs. W. II Ammermau and is well remembered by all our old er residents. Prior to the Mexican War lie was clerk in the post office at Danville under Alexander Best as postmaster. At the breaking out of the Mexican war he enlisted with the Col umbia Guards of Danville under Cap tain Wilson. At the (dose of the war lie returned to Danville and was hon orably discharged with the Guards at the courthouse. Soon after the Mexican war W. 11. Goarhart, kimwn familiarly as "Cali fornia Bill," who, along with other Danville young men, had fallen a vic tim of the gold fever and made his way to California, returned East for a visit with relatives. Mr. Tomlinson was charmed with life ami opportuni ties on the Pacific coast as described by Mr. Goarhart aud when the latter returned to California the deceased accompanied him. The two men for some years together led the arduous life of prospectors, sharing the many vicissitudes of fortune. In the process of time Mr. Goarhart returned to his home at South Dan ville, where he spent the remainder of his iife. Mr. Tomlinson.however, had become wedded to the mountains, the flowers and the genial climate of Cali fornia and, although many induce ments were offered him to share a home with relatives in Danville, he persistently declined. He, however, never lost interest in his native town. Through all the years that intervened since his departure he kept up a reg ular correspondence and once, just at the close of the civil war,he paid Dan ville a visit. At the time of his death he was in his eighty-first year. He was a bachel or,a man of refined tastes and of kind ly sympathetic nature, who was bo loved by those around him. Picking Culm to Keep Warm. Because of the dead-lock in the school board, of Conyngham township. Col umbia county, the schools are with out fuel and in some parts of the dis trict the teachers and pupi Is are com pelled togo out and pick coal from the culm banks or else close the schools, according to the Ashland Telegram, which speaks of the situa tion as follows: "Owing to factional differences in tho school board, affairs in the Con yngham school district aro in a deplor able condition, and there is much in dignation among the people. These difficulties have retarded the school work in many ways for the past six or more weeks, and the tardy action of the courts in giving the people redress is auything hut commendable. Prompt action is what the people want, but, it seems,must be content to see it drag along while the school system is crip pled, and children deprived of the rights to which they are entitled un der the laws of the State. There is great wrong somewhere and it should be the duty of the courts to rectify this wrong at the earliest possible time. "Because of these content ions teach er- are unpaid, as well as others to whom the district is indebted. No sup plies have been received, and the schools are without fuel. In some parts of the district, it is said, that in order to keep the rooms comfortable teachers and pupils have been compel led to pick coal from the culm banks or else close the schools. "It is certainly a disgraceful reflec tion on our laws when any man, or body of men, are permitted to be re sponsible tor such a condition of af fairs as is here pointed out.

WILL BE Mil) OVER OS FMDAf Buchanan \ Company are now about winding up work on the heat, light and power plant at the hospital for the iiisane'and on Friday it will be handed over to the trustees of that institut ion. Ihe plant is now running to the perfect satisfact ion of all concerned, furnishing heat as well light to the institution. Vesterdav all three en gines were run together. The trial was eminently satisfactory. While one en gine and dynamo answers the pur pose ordinarily, yet there are emer gencies when it may be necessary to combine all three into one unit. It was necessary,therefore, to know how the three engines would pull together. A few hands are still employed cleaning up outside the building and connecting up a few motors, among which are a 40-horse power motor in the carpenter shop, a 25-horse power motor for the threshing machine,a 10- iiorse power motor for the bake shop and a 10-horso power motor for the electrical pump to supply the boilers. The work began on May 9th, the heaviest part of the contract being the wiring of all the buildings to the number of 2300 lights. The comple tion of the plant so much earlier than was expected a< well as the first class quality of work done speaks volumes in praise of Mr. Stutterheim, the rep resentative of Buchanan & Company, who has been on the ground since tiie work began and will remain until Fri day, although all the other representa tives of the firms that had a hand in the work have returned to their homes. The largest number of hands employ ed was ninety-five, eighty-seven of whom were Danville men. In this con nection it is worthy of note as reveal ing the pleasant relations between Mr. Stutterheim and the men working un der him that at no time during the several months of difficult aud exact ing labor did he find it necessary to discharge a single man. Mr. Stutter heim is a most companionable and agreeable gentleman; ho is the soul of courtesy and is always fair. Under the circumstances it is not strange that the same cordial relations that obtain between him and his workmen are found to exist between him and the hospital authorities and everv one in the community with whom lie came in contact.

The floor on the Catawissa bridge has been causing all kinds of trouble ever since the structure was opened to the public. On the Danville bridge the wear aud tear of weather and traffic se?nis only to produce a better road for all kinds of travel. In view of the fact that Danville and Catawissa bridge floors are built of the same material tin; following latest condemnation of the up-river job, from the Bloomsburg Press, will bo interesting: "Ten times worse than it was earlier in the year, those who have seen the flooring of the Catawi -a bridge de scribe it as being. While the condition was bad enough then,the upheavels of the blocks used in the flooring were only in spots, standing out like huge boils on an otherwise fairly good sur face, but today the condition is such that the entire bridge is in the same condition. The blocks are elevated in places from twelve to eighteen inches aud the general opinion is, that the job is about the worst that was ever worked off on an unsuspecting public. "The situation has now passed the poiut where mild words can be used in describing it. It is squarely up to the county to have the condition rem edied before the county has a lot of damage cases on its hands. With the bridge in its present condition they will follow as surely as night follows day. It has only been good luck there have been no serious accidents there already. A horse in crossing the bridge Saturday, fell down and the horse of George Martin, of Blooms burg, fell down Sunday afternoon. Fortunately, neither horso was injur ed. "The Penii Bridge company was the contractor for the bridge and they are the ones directly responsible for the bridge's condition. Welderliek, of Alleutown, did the floor job under sub-contract,and when the blocks were putin it was stated in these columns, as well as in other county papers that the work was of inferior order, hut the inspectors allowed it to pass.

A SAINT MAKING 'I Rll M \ IRATE The South Bethlehem Globe declares that when a preacher accused a certain editor of not always telling the truth the editor admitted the truth of the charge and retaliated by declaring that no minister who would tell the whole truth about all his members would oc cupy his pulpit more than a week. "The press and the pulpit,'' said be, "go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words, magnify ing little virtues into big ones The pulpit, the pen and the gravestone are the great saintniaking triumvirate." The fair minded man always wants to hear both sides of the story. 'PLACING POTATOES ON THE MARKET With one exception the largest mar ket of the year took place on Saturday morning. The generous yield of the summer due to plenty of rain and care ful farming,for which the people of our county are noted, was never more strikingly in evidence. Abundant to - overflowing, choice and delicious in quality literally every product of the field ami garden was represented in the long row of wagons, which cover ed nearly every foot of available space There were just 105 one-horse wagons, 21 double wagons and 14 butchers and bakers in line. In order to reduce the labor of stor ing away the crop,the farmers are en deavoring to sell as many potatoes as possible. As a consequence the big yield of tubers was reflected in mar >jet by large quantities, which were out of proportion to other products on sale. They sold fairly well at HO to *ls cents per bushel. Chestnuts found a place {among the ot her products and the large quantities of those brought in would indicate that there is a very large yield. They sold as low as 12 cents per quart, al though many were disposed of at 14 and 15 cents. Heretofore, with probably the ex ceptions of Thanksgiving and Christ mas, the largest markets of the year were apt to occur during midsummer, when garden vegetables, fruit and berries were in season. Such a large market in October is unusual and can lie accounted for only by the fact that the season has been a very prolific one and that the farmers find themselves in the pis-*os'sion of a sup ralmndanoe A Young riot her at 70.

Nettie Henrie after a pro tracted and painful illness departed this life on Saturday morning. The deceased was the daughter of the late Samuel llenrie and was a life-long resident of Danville. She was a young woman of most ex emplary Christian character. Kind and sympathizing by nature through out her entire life she was devoted to others and in return was deeply belov ed for her tender sympathy and self sacrifice. She was nearly a lifelong member of the Grove Presbyterian church and among the younger people of town there were few that were more widely known. Her sufferings covered a period of much over a month. For a week or more preceding her death her case was regarded as hojieless. She bore her suffering with patience and Christian fortitude. She was conscious until nearly the end. which occurred at 5 :30 o'clock Saturday morning. The deceased is survived by two brothers, John T., of Berwick, and Frank C. of this city; also one sister, Miss Anna, who resided at the family homestead on Bloom street along with 11 io deceased and her brother Frank.

PEDDLERS PAID OP The two peddlers who refused to pay the fine for peddling without a li- 1 cense Friday and were committed to the lock-up to undergo tive days' im prisonment became weary of durance and before they had served the first 24 hours decided to pay the (iue aud costs of seven dollars and breathe the pure air of freedom again. As they settled with the justice aud went their way it was dillicult to de termine whether they were affected most by the humiliation of their ex- | perience or the loss of their money, | with which it went so hard to part. 1 They loitered about town for awhile ' Saturday, but it is not known that they made any attempt to peddle. Citizens could aiil very much iu at taining the ends of justice if they would goto the trouble to notify the officers when oue of these itinerant j dealers makes his appearance. The fellows are very sly aud often carry merely a small handbag, so that it ! may be some time before tli# officers j discover what is going ou. In the vast ■ majority of cases if is safe to assume that the peddler has not paid five dol lars for the privilege of selling goods for one day and if he has he will very quickly produce evidence of that fact. On Friday it is said that at least one party instead of notifying the otlicers actually gave oue of the peddlers a tip when the officer came near,so that the fellow was able to escape.
