Old Homestead Sold.
The old Vanostrand homestead 111
Riverside was sold yesterday to Oliver
Hoover, of South Danville, who will
rvinodel and improve the property.
The sale wa« made through Charles
Gear hart, Esq
BOY CHARGED WITH
ARSON k LARCENY
Charged with the high crimes of
arson, break ing ami entering, also
larceny, John Yarrisli, a sixteen-year
old Polish boy, of Marion Heights,
near Shamokin, is now locked op in
the Northumberland county jail await
ing a hearing.
Special Officer A. J. Brittain made
the arrest and preferred the charges
for the Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany. Young Yarrish was in Sunbury
Monday and started for home on a
freight tram sometime during the
forepart of the night. About two
o'clock yesterday morning he broke
into the pump station and warehouse
of the railroad company at the Weigh
Scales, stole several razors aud other
articles belonging to L. C. Moore, the
uian in charge during the day.
After committing the larceny, it is
alleged, he set lire to the building and
then fled. Shortly after a Sunbury
crew passed and discovered the fire,
extinguished it in time to prevent any
serious damage. The red tongues of
destruction,however, hail lickod thoir
way to within several feet of 18 gal
lons of gasoline in air tight barrels.
Later another crew hearing of the
affair recalled having seen a suspic
ious character in a box car which
stood ou a siding down the tracks.
The inmate of the box car was Yar
rish, and he was later taken into cus
tody by Officer Brittain. When arrest
ed the boy had the stolen razors ou his
]K>rson and carried a loaded revolver.
When taken before Justice Carpenter,
Yarrish made no denial of breaking
into the building but contended he did
so for the sole purpose of getting
warm. He also pleaded not guilty to
the arson charge,explaining the origin
of the fire by saying that a lautern
which he lighted had exploded.
Prison records show that Yarrish
has already served thrity days in jail
for the theft of a bicycle. The evid
ence is so strong against him ou three
charges that he has little chance of
escaping conviction aud his punish
ment, it is predicted, will be as severe
as his crimes merit.
Advances Wages. (53SH
The Reading IronJ company yesterday
morning an announcement .that
will fill the hearts of all iron workers
with joy. The announcement, which
simultaneously with this article ap
pears in the Heading and probably a
few other newspapers, state that the
wage schedules now in force in the
Reading Iron compauv are being revis
ed and a general advance will shortly
be made in all its departments.
Recently, the announcement con
tinues, the prices of some of the prod
ucts of the Readiug Iron company
have advanced, and wages will be
equalized and adjusted to conform to
the improved market conditions. The
tube works, blast furnaces, rolling
mills, foundries aud machine shops
will nil be included in the advance.
The exact date of the advance and
what per cent, will be granted is not
stateil in the announcement. How it
will affect puddling—whether it will
meet the specific demands made by the
puddlers,pending fuller and more def
inite information,is a matter for con
jecture It is stated, however, that
the advance will be general, affecting
all departments. The advance is in
line with the policy ot the Reading
people aud follows an advance of ten
per cent, recently granted to all the
employes of the Reading railway com
pauy.
It is scarcely to be doubted that the
advance announced will bring the lab
or difficulties existing at the big mill
in this city to an end. All of which
constitutes the very best of news not
only for the iron workers of our town,
but also for our business men aud cit
izens in general. The big mill has
been closed since June. Up to the
present the outlook has been dark and
unpromising aud no one would have
been surprised if the big plant would
have remained idle all winter. The
brighter prospects coming now as they
do on the eve of winter will be hailed
with all the greater joy.
Funeral of John Ploch.
John Ploch, the 12-year-old sou of
Frederick Ploch,whose death occurred
Saturday morning, was consigned to
the grave in Odd Fellows' cemetery,
Tnesdav afternoon, the funeral tak
ing place at the parental home. Rail

large attendance. The services were
conducted by Rev. George W. Fritscli,
pastor of St. John's Lutheran church.
The flowers were very numerous and
beautiful. The funeral proceeded to
the cemetery by trolley.
Bad Hunting Accident.
The worst hunting accident of the
year in this vicinity occurred on Mon
day afternoon Roy Mitchell, of Mil
ton, ageil 21 yeais, was goiug with a
companion. John Lovett, through the
wood near Montandou Lovett was in

his gun was discharged. The full
charge of shot went through Mitchell's
arm. The muscles were severed, al
though the bone was uninjured.

HEALTH DEP'T
LAIORATORY (ON
In a letter addressed to over ten
thousand physicians in Pennsvlvania,
State Health Commissioner Samuel G.
Dixon has announced the opening of
the laboratories of the department of
health, located at the University of
Pennsylvania.
The announcement will be received
with great satisfaction not only by
the physicans but also by the people
of the State, especially iu the rural
districts, because of the opportunity
afforded doctors to accurately diagnose
conditions by the most improved sciea
tific laboratory methods.
The opening of the department of
health laboratories ranks in import
ance with the establishment by Health
Commissioner Dixon nearly a year ago
of five huudred stations for the free
distribution of diphtheria antitoxin
among the poor throughout the State.
Dr. Dixou's letter to the phyiseians
is as follows:
"Recognizing the great benefits
which must accrue to the individual
practitioner of medicine and his pati
ents as well as to the public health
through the operation of a fully equip
ped laboratory, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania offers gratuitously to the
physicians of the State, the facilities
of such an institution. The accom
plishment of this subject has been one
of the chief aims of the department
ever since its creation aud the con
summation at this time is due in a
great measure to the spirit of generos
ity displayed by the University of
Pennsylvania in placing at our im
mediate disposal, rooms well adapted
to the needs of the laboratory. The
scope of the work embraced in this
division of the department is set forth
some what briefly in the accompany
ing pamphlet. If you desire to avail
yourself in any way of the use of the
laboratory, kindly indicate upon the
enclosed postal tne number of outfits
desired for the collection of specimens
and the same will be provided,togeth
er with the blank request cards, ad
dressed envelopes and return wrappers
| for the packages.
"The outfit will be for your practice
outside of municipalities having lab
[ oratories for the same purpose.
I "Requests should be sent iu prompt
I ly so that the department may have
some estimate of how many outfits
! will be needed aud thereby avoid any
i unnecessary delay and the purchasing
' of an over-supply. "
Accompanying the letter i- a small
booklet outlining the character cf the
work it is proposed to do in the labor
atories. The laboratory facilities offer
ed are for work only iu connection
with physicians' practice outside of
municipalities hiving laboratories for
the same purpose, as Philadelphia,
Pittsburg, and several of the other
larger cities.
Health Commissioner Dixon will ho
assisted in carrying on tin work of
the laboratories by Dr. Allen .T.
Smith, one of the leading physicians
in this country, who has been appoint
ed director of pathology,and Dr. Her
bert Fox, chief of the laboratories

the features of its annual meeting at
Harrisburg, January 22-25, 1907, is a
corn show, open to all corn growers
of the State, whether they are mem

Liberal prizes will constitute an ex
hibit, and these prizes aro in cash.
The National Stockman and Farmer
of Pittsburg has contributed SIOO in
cash to encourage this exhibit, aud to
this the association and the department
of agriculture will add enough to
make the prizes worth competing for.
There will be forty-five cash prizes.be
sides specials. This is Pennsylvania's
first great corn show, and it should
bring a big lot of fine grain, some of
which may later be used in exhibits
at Jamestown or other expositions.
Every corn grower who can find ten
ears of choice com when he goes to
husk it has « whack at the money. He
should write at once to E. S. Bayard,
secretary, 203 Shady avenue, East End,

J will do it. Prize list will be forward
■ ed on application to the secretary.
Death of Well Known Lady.
Mrs. Eliza Butler, window of the
late Thomas Butler, of Washington
ville, died Monday afternoon at ;s
j o'clock at the home of her sister and
■ brother, Sallie and William Johnson,
on the Johnson farm in Madison town
ship, Columbia county.
I Mrs. Butler was ou a visit to the
! home of her brother and sister about a
' week ago when she was taken ill, and
for several days before death came she
! was in a critical condition. The de
ceased was a life long resident of the
locality in which she died. She was
a most kind hearted and generous lady
aud was generally beloved by all who
knew her. Her husband, the late
Thomas Butler, who preceded her to
the grave ten years ago, was at one
time associate judge in Montour coun
ty. Mrs. Butler was a member of the
Washingtonville M. E. church.
Beside William and Sallie Johnson,
who reside ou the Johnson homestead
farm, Mrs. Butler is survived by two
brothers, Frank and Amos, who live
'in Anthony township. Four children
survive Mrs. Hattie Colo, of Wilkes-
Barre; Misses Margaret aud Katie and
Mr. Kent Buthr, of New York City.
Chicken Steps Are Removed.
James V. Gillaspy has completed
the brick pavement in front of his
hotel property, Mill and Front streets.
The "chicken steps" leading from the
pavement at the Hoddens house t<> the
old grade at the property below, which
have been an eye sore ami a great in
convenience to pedestrians, are
happily things of the past and Mr.
Gillaspy's new sidewalk is now on
the same grade with the Heddeus
house pavement. The western side
walk, which previously was avoided
because of the chicken steps will here
after be as much frequented as any.
Mr. Gillaspy. along with other im
provements, is having the new stone
wall along the base of his hotel cover
ed with a coat of cement. Jere Knorr,
who latelv completed the brick pave
ment in front of Foust Bros , brew
ery, is doing the work aud is making
; a very good job of it.
Improving Bloom Street.
The Dauville and Bloomsburg street
! railway company is placing a course
of crushed limestone on Bloom street
between the P. it R. crossing and A
street, where the trolley track was re
cently removed. A top course of fine
material will next be applied, which
will fix this section of Bloom street
up in fine shape.
The upper section of Bloom street
that was reconstructed with cinder
has been much improved through the
painstaking effort of the street com
missioner. All the chunks of cinder
have been removed, so that the street
as a general thing each side of the
track is tolerably smooth and affords
fairly good driving.
One of the chief difficulties with
Bloom street at tlmt point lies in the
fact that the space ou each side of the
trolley track is too narrow, while the
deep ditches add to the danger and in
convenience of driving. No matter
how much labor and expense is put on
the roadway the street so long as these
conditions exist will always be open
to objection Sooner or later some
thing will have to be done aud coun
cil might as well take up the matter
at once and see what remedy can be
applied.
Democrats Gain 24 in Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.
President Roosevelt's appeal for a
Republican congress was not iu vam.
With the count still going on, the re
sult so far shows the election of 214
Republican congressmen, 157 Demo
crats, with twenty districts to be heard
from. There aro 38*5 seats to be filled
in the house, aud should the Demo
crats get the remaining fifteen they
would still not have the control.
The most sanguine prediction put
out by Chairman Sherman previous to
the election was that the Republicans
would retain control of the house by
fifty.
As the returns stand now the Demo
crats have gained twenty-four districts
held iu the present congress by Repub
licaus as follows:
Illinois, 2; Indiana,l ; lowa, 1 ; Mis
souri. I; Nebraska, 1 ; New Jersey, 8;
New York,!; North Carolina,l; Ohio,
4; Pennsylvania, o, and Wisconsin, 1.
Speaker Cannon received his usual
fifteen thousand majority and comes
back to congress for the seventeenth
timr. The fight against Representative
Dalzell, of Pittsburg, was futile, a>-
Mr. Dalzell is re-elected with a reduc
ed majority. Mr. Wadsworth, who
chairman of tho house committee on
agriculture,was defeated by Peter A.
Porter, who announced himself as an
Indepeudout Republican.

AGITATION BRINGS
GOOD RESULTS
The recent article in this paper rela
tive to the omission of Danville on the
map of the D. L. & \V. printed in the
"Commercial and Financial Chroui- i
cle" seems to have borne good fruit
in more respects than one. Not only
doos the D. L. W. railroad company
make haste to assure the borough that
Dauville will he replaced on the map
in the next issue of the "Commercial
and Financial Chronicle," bur tlie
William 1?. Dana company, publishers
of that periodical, have addressed a
letter to Burgess Rogers for certain
data relating to Danville The letter,
which follows,explains itself:
To the Chief Burgess,
Danville, Montour County, Pa.
Dear Sir:—For our State and City
Section, about togo to press, will you
kindly favor us with tlie data asked
for below relative to the finances of
your municipality?
What is the bonded debt of the bor
ough at present? What was the assess
ed valuation for 1905? What was the
total tax rate per SIOOO for 1905?
Thanking you in advance for the
courtesy of an early reply, wo remain,
Very respectfully,
William B. Dana Company.
From the above it would seem that
Danville's omission on the map led to
the town's exclusion from tlie pages
of the publication, where valuable in
formation is printed relating to the
towns shown on the map. Verily, a
little healthy agitation is sometimes a
good tl iug.
Large Funeral at Exchange.
The remains of Miss Mary Craig,
who departed this life on Thursday,
were laid to rest Sunday afternoon
from the late residence at Exchange
with impressive ceremonies. The high
esteem in which the deceased was held

May Condemn Sewage System.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, commissioner
of the State board of health threatens
to overthrow the whole sewage system
of Sunbury. It is the desire of Dr.
Dixon to keep the Susquehanna unpol
luted. The Sunbury dye works is
doubtless the principal offender,as the
waste from the plant, with its poison
: ou- chemicals destroys the fish for a
great distance down the river, as do
many of the city sewers which empty
into tlie stream. Dr Dixon desires a
general sewage system for the entire
borough.

BEAUTIFUL
CHRYSANTHEMUMS
This is the height of the chrysan
themuni season and the spacious green
houses at Castle Grove are abloom
with these exquisite and highly cul- j
tivated flowers. The roses in all their
varieties, also, are now in the height
of their season and the greenhouses
daily tire the mecca of scores of flower
lovers, who never tire of wandering
through the seemingly endless maze of
buildings.
William Cotter, who has succeeded
i his father, Lawrence Cotter,in charge
of the greenhouses,has proven himself
a worthy successor of that distinguish
ed florist aud the greenhouses at Castle
Grove this year present the same ple
thoric and well kept appearance that
made them famous in the past.
Several buildings are filled with
chrysanthemums, every variety being
represented and all of them beautiful.
The flowers are of the largest size,
seven to ten inches in diameter, all
colors aud shades of colors, being rep
resented. Among the varieties are:
Col Appletou, yellow; Mary luglis,
stripeil yellow; Mrs. Coombs, delicate
pink; Ben Wells,cream;Cheltoni,pure
yellow; William Duckham, pink.
Mr. Cotter makes a shipment daily,
to both New York and Philadelphia
market. The flowers are cut twice
daily and already a large space is
cleared.
Next in interest to the chrysanthe
mums, which'just now is queen among
i the flowers, are the roses. All the
! popular varieties are seen at Castle
' Grove and much more space is occupi
, ed by these than by chrysanthemums,
j Here is found combined the rare tints
!of color and the most delicious frag
' rauce that the Creator has brought into
' existence to please the sense of man.
[ Among ttie varieties are: the Liberty
rose, red ; Bride's rose, white ; brides
maid's, pink; also the American
beauty rose, which is so well known
as to need no description. Of the lat
ter variety there is a whole section or
three hundred feet of greenhouses.
The Kilarney rose, dark pink in color,
and the Wellesly.a light pink, are ucw
roses lately put ou the market. The
| roses,like the chrysanthemums,are cut
j twice aaily, a shipment being made
! every day except Saturday. Sunday is
one of the busiest days at the green
houses, as it is probably on that day
that the heaviest shipment is made.

A POLITICAL JOKE.
This little political joke from the |
Srcautou Republican may possibly be
relished by some of the News' readers
after the election:
"A local political candidate got on
a pouny-iu-the-slot weighing machine
the other day down at oue of the rail
way stations. He slipped in a penny,
but the indicator didn't indicate his
weight. He jumped up and down. He
shook tlie clock face indignantly. Then
he went and complained to an official
in the vicinity. 'lt's a swindle,' lie
shouted. 'lt's got my penny, b'gosh,
and it won't weigh.' The irate poli
tician is very thin; lie Is also a dem
ocrat. The official looked looked him
over ami remarked sympathetically:
"When you dropped the penny there
wasn't anything left to weigh!"
"Fory- ars I starved, then 112 bought a
50 cent bottle Kodol Dyspepsia C ure,
and what that, bottle benefitted me all
the gold in Georgia could not buy. I
kep f on taking it and in two months 1
