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."

More .loney for State Roads.
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.

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

Baltimore, Md. ; Washington, D. C.,
and Wheeling, W. Va., in the South ;
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Erie, in the
West, and Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse, N. Y , in the North.
As the subsidiary companies have
long term contracts with the compan
ies operating in these important com
mercial centers, the Philadelphia,
Pittsburg it Erie Long Distance Tele

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. The legal
remedy should be applied.audit should
he done quickly, and without any fur
ther dallying with the law.

dent ami secretary Friday orders that

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.

Floor on Catawissa River Bridge.
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.
"Couuty Commissioner Hess stated
yesterday the contractors were the
ones to make good aud that the Com
missioners were trying to hold them.
Somebody should he held."

'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

Death Claims Well Known Lady.
Miss .T. 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.

to other towns and cities. He says:
"If you waut the town to be a town,

When a horse is so overworked it lies

will digest the food eaten and help the

THE IMPRISONED !
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.

AN OLD LETTER.
Our townsman, James M. Kelso, has
iu his possession au old letter that is
a most curious document. It was writ
ten in 1841 by F. R. Shunk, at that
time superintendent of common schools
of Pennsylvania,aud was addressed to
Mr. Joseph Kelso, father of .fames M.
Kelso, who was then a school director
in Chester county. The letter was iu
answer to an inquiry made by Joseph
Kelso about a point under dispute in
the Chester county school board. The
most curious part of the epistle is that
no envelope was used. The paper was
folded aud then sealed upou itself. F.
R. Shunk was later, iu 1844 elected
governor of Peunsylvaniaand re-elect
ed iu 1847.
