Hartman'S ■ew silk mill in Riverside was fired ■p Tuesday for the first time. During the afternoon smoke in •opious volumes was seen issuing from the tall stack, the pleasing spectacle, which was the first sign of life at the ■EW plant, calling forth many expres sions of gratification from people on fcoth sides of the river. During an interview Tues. evening Mr. Hartman stated that work is pro gressing very nicely along all lines and that considerably before the first •112 the year he expects to have the new plant in operation. The boiler is one of 180 to 200-horse power. The engine, which is uot yet fully installed, is from 150 to 180 horse power Men are workng on the engine night and day and it will be in position in a short time. Men are also working double turn •n the machinery, the installation of which proves a very heavy proposi tion,owing to its complex nature. The nachinery, by the way, embraces all the improvements known and is thor •uglily modern in all respects so that the Riverside mill will be without an •qual among the older plants. Four installments of machinery have arriv ed and this to use a technical term, is all "upon its feet", which does not Imply that the machinery is nearly in stalled in the fnll sense of this term. When it is explained that in one block of thirty machines each machine •ontains 10,000 parts, representing the automatic conditions, the real magni tude of the task of adjusting these so that they will properly perform their functions will be at once appreciated. The work necessarily goes slowly, al though as Mr. Hartman has arranged H the very best of progress has been made. When next heard of the plant will ■o doubt be ready to start up. Mean while orders are piling up for the sup erior product of Mr. Hartman's new and improved plant. Judge Candidates File Accounts. The expense accounts of Charles C. Evans and Grant Herring, recently candidates for president judge in this district, were filed at the office of the prothonotary of Columbia county in Bloomsburg yesterday. The acoount of C C. Evans gave a total expenditure of $3099.72. This was divided AS follows : M. W. Lutz, chairman of Prohibi tion party of Columbia county. SSO. John E. Roberts, Republican chair man cf Montonr county, SIOO.OO. J. U. Kurtz, treasurer of Republi can committee of Columbia county, $2588.20. Office expenses, traveling, etc., $lB6 52. Office expenditures, $75. Postage and stationery, SIOO. HERRING'S ACCOUNT. The expense account filed by Grant Herring shows a total of $1475.40. This amount is made up in various items expended for the dissemination of information and the getting of vot ers to the polls. The amount was ex pended among two hundred different persons enumerated. APPROPRIATIONS. The Reading Times is convinced that large appropriations will be made at the coming session of the legislature for the improvement of the roads and other matters of importance. It says : "The State has a large surplus on hand and the Republican party has committed itself to doing what is necessary for schools, highways and charitable institutions. including especially a strong attack on that great white plague, consumption. The income of the State is constantly in creasing, and there will be funds for good enterprise." The News is favor able first of all to helping those who cannot help themselves. The insane and the defective part of the popula tion must be cared for because they have no recourse except in the mercy of the State. A little more interest in the building of good roads would largely increaase their number with out materially increasing the general appropriation. COMFORTABLE FUNERLAS. Bloomsburg ministers have takeu ac tion calling attention of people to the need of better arrangements for the health, comfort and convenience of ministers called on to attend funerals. Such action has been taken by minist ers in a number of other places and it is to be hoped that funeral customs which have been undergoing a MOW modification in the last fifty years will be itill further changed for the oomfort not only of the ministers, but alao of tlioso who mourn. A LETTER FROM PANAMA W. R. Clark, Pennsylvania station agent at Sonth Danville, has just re ceived a very interesting letter from his son. Howard R. Clark, who is a member of the engineer corps employ ed on the isthmian canal. The letter which was written at Gutan, Nov. 18th. deals principally with President Roosevelt's visit to the canal zone. Howard was present at the great re ception given the president and he de scribes his impressions of the distin guished event. The letter in part reads as follows: "The president's visit here will soon be an event, of the past for he sails today via Porto Rico. "I attended his reception in Cristo bal last night. There were approxim ately 4000 Americans in attendance aud when the president entered the building,the crowd simply went wild. I never heard such cheering and one could not help being impressed with the reception he received. He is re spected by every man here and I firm ly believe he is the only man in the United States or in the world to act as the head of this great work. "He came here to investigate con ditions and the work,and he did it by going into the work himself and not by viewing it from the rear end of an observation car. His secret service men were the busiest men on the isth mus during his stay here, and he many times succeeded in getting away from them. "On his arrival here he lauded secretly and unexpectedly at Colon at 7 a. rn. and wandered around the dock for quite a while before his guards found him. He waded though mud and water in his inspection trips and act ed like a man among men. "Last night he made an address and it was well worth hearing. The gist of his remarks was that he was well pleased with the work aud the manner in which it was being conducted. He promised his support and that of the American public. He said the canal could no longer be viewed as a pos sibility hut as au assured accomplish ment. His address was not filled with flowery or bombastic phrases,but it was to the point and every one in the audi ence know that he was sincere in all his remarks. ' Taking all into consideration his trip has been a success. He too lias been a success aud all the high offici als here hope that he will remain in his present position another term, so that he can keep in touch with the canal work." Holiday Trade Already Begun. The early bird catches the worm, and the early shopper gets the cream of the offerings of the merchants, this being especially true of the holiday rush, which is under way in Danvill* now, with Christmas three weeks off. But, really, it seems to bo all cream that the store keepers are offering th« many buyers. It is a fact that th« local stores never looked more attrac tive than now. The early start ii holiday baying is in a general way indicative of prosperity and in specifi# relation to this city it may be takes to mean that the sales this year will he quite up to the standard and per haps may even surpass the usual rua of trade The stores, especially in the evem i ing, are well filled with buyers or i prospective purchasers. The strenuous ' times are on for the clerks, who al j ready have enough to do to occupy al ! most every minute, but of course yet busier days are in prospect, for while l the earlier buyers are more numerous | than usual there invariably is a rush that can hardly be handled during ; last week before Christmas. The especial hoildav provisions ar« ; practically without limit in variety, | and it would be nearly impossible &o enumerate them all, fine linens, hand some china, and cut glass, hand paint ed ware, rich leather goods, and what not. Books, perfumes, personal outfit tings, bric-a-brac of very description ! —well,there is something for any size : person or purse. It's the small boy aud the wee girl | that figure most prominently in th« ; big times now on the way,and a word concerning what there is for them >« not amiss. But only a word, for it would fill books to tell of the life-lik# dolls, the bears, dogs that do every thing but bark and bite, mechanical toys of most ingenuous construction, some el:*, bo rate in price as well as im their makeup. Even where the pea nies are very few there are some art icles to be hail that will delight the child mind. Altogether the stores present condi tions that ;tre good to see. The Christ mas spirit each day becomes more pro nounced —it's in the air and every where, even at this advanced day and I it's.a mighty fine thing, too. Light Held Up Justice. Darkness stopped the wheels of just ice from grinding in the Northumber land county court at Sunbury, Mon day evening, and held up the trial of a civil case in which a well known Danville man is the prosecutor. To gain time the case of D J. Rog ers, of this city, against M. L. Leso wski, of Mt. Carroel, was taken up at a special session Mondav evening Mr. Rogers is endeavoring to recover sl4soo.which he alleges is due him on a consignment of stone delivered at Mt. Carmel to bo used in the erection of a Pclish church. The trial had not been more than fairly started Monday evening about nine o'clock when the electric lights begau to flicker and then wont ont en tirely, leaving the court room wrap ped in total darkness. After learning that a coil had been burnt out in one of the .'arge armatures at the power house aud that it could not be repair ed before morning, the judge with drew one of the jurors aud continued the case until next Monday. Unfortunately the supply of matches was limited and not a few shins were humped as the judge, Hwyer and in terested parties groped their way through the pitch dark halls to the front door, consequently the assembl age was not a in happy frame of mind. A SITE HAS BEEN GUARANTEED Captain J. Beaver Gearhart has re ceived information from General J. P. S. Gobiu as well as from Col. A. J. Logan and General C. Bow Dough erty, members of the State armory commission, which makes it perfectly clear that onr town, if it shows the proper spirit, can secure an armory out of the next appropriation made by the State for that purpose. In the first place it will all depend upon whether or not our citizens will contribute a suitable site for an arm ory. Captain Gearhart states that. this part has already been accomplished, j that he has succeeded in interesting several of our leading citizens in the proposition and that they have given him practical assurance that a site will be ready to hand over tn the State when the latter is rea<lv to build an 1 armory. This is all the assurance that the gentlemen of the armory commission require. They have informed Captain Gearhart that out of the next ap propriation of the legislature for arm ories, under the circumstances, Dan ville will be on the list of towns to be first served. All they ask of Captain Gearhart is, to inform them when a site has donated and they assure him that as soon as the laud has been con veyed to the State the commission will proceed to give Danville an armory. Several sites are under considera tion. Inasmuch as the building is to be au imposing structure and arch itecturally,as well as in other respects, a valuable acquisition to the town, it should be as near the business center as possible. The dimensions of the j armory will be 72x150 feet. In all pro bability the several public spirited citizens who view the matter so hope fully will unite in the purchase of a suitable site, which will be duly turn ed over to free of cost. The first one of the armories erected by the State was dedicated at Mt. Pleasant last month. It is a very im posing structure. BACK GIVES OUT. Plenty of Danville Readers Have This Ex perience.

The services were conducted by Rev. Lloyd W. Walter,pastor of Pine Street Lutheran church,to which the deceas ed belonged. Four sons and two grand sons acted as pall bearers: Jacob H., Daniel F., Edwin C. and John W. Eyerly,Peter Sandel and Frank Bidle man. The flowers were very beautiful. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Sandel and son Peter, of West Hemlock township; Mr. and Mrs. William P. Eyerly, of Espy; Mrs. M. F.

WW LAW CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION The action of the Montour county commissioners iu deciding uot to pay any atteution to the new uniform pri maries act as far as the February eiec- J tiou is concerned,is being followed fay I other couuties throughout the State. In some quarters the constitution- J ality of the new act is questioned. J. iP. Hale Jenkins, solicitor for Mont j gomery county aud who has been presi | dent of the State board of county com ; missioners for se.eral years, said re j cently: •ir any hody ot citizens feels that I the position taken by the commission | ers is wrong, application can be made i to the court to compel the cointnission | ers to act " Over in Northumberland county the commissioners have not as yet decided I how they will hold their primaries. The Northumberland board is but re cently iu receipt of a sample of the ballot boxes for use iu the new pri maries, which was sent for inspection Under the law there must be one of these boxes iu every precinct, and as there are over 200 precincts iu North umberland, it would put the commis sioners up against an expenditure of over S2OOO for ballot boxes alone. It is thought that with these items taken into consideration the Northumber land board will decide to hold oil to the old way. Speaking of the master of expense some little apprehension is felt as to how far the commissioners may go iu the matter of expense for the primar ies. The act specifies theamouut to be paid primary officers, but places no limit on the other incidentals such as purchasing boxes, tables, renting rooms, etc. The possibility of a citizen protest ing against the outlay of a large sum of money by the commissioners for this expense and asking that a sur charge be entered has been suggested, | all of which is making the coinmis- I siouers of many couuties stop and j think before going ou with this ar | raugement for the new system. A test case to test the coiistitutiou ality of the new primary law will no doubt be iustituted.so that the various boards of county commissioners throughout the State may be able to act intelligently in enforcing the pro visions of the measure.

Christmas shoppers are urged to make their purchases early iu the sea sou, before the great, holiday rush comes ou. This is wise for two reasons. First, one is not jostled aud hurried and crowded, but can go about the task of making selections, confident that he will receive careful attentou from the clerks. Secondly, there are large aud unbroken stocks from which he can chose such aitides as are most satis factory to himself. Thus the early buyer has a great ad vantage over those who delay making their holiday purchases until the last thing, and no one is made to realize this fact more thoroughly than the de linquents. They find the remnants of once complete stocks left,and not very much more, aud are compelled to take what they can get, which same they usually do with much grumbling. Now is the best time to buy articles that you intend to use as gifts, and the sooner you get about it the better for you. Regular prices prevail, and the clerks are all attention. Better bargains prevail than you can obtain later. They will be found at the many excellent stores that advertise in the Morning News,and if you do not laud some of them it will be the fault of no one but yourself.

GROVE S signa ture U on each IMJX iii cents WHEN VACCINATION FAILS TO TAKE "After three carefully performed but unsuccessful attempts to vaccinate a cliilil have failed, the child should not he debarred from school privileges but should be admitted and the de partment of health lias provided for this," said Stato Health Commission er Samuel G. Dixon in an interview today. "The supreme court of Pennsylvania called attention in the recent opinion it handed down reaffirming the valid ity of the so called vaccination law of June 18, 1b95, to the hardship involv ed in the 12th section of that act when it is beyond the power of children or school aire to be vaccinated although they may not previously have had smallpox uor previously been vaccinat ed ; that even repeated attempts to per form the operation upun such children are without effect and vaccinatiou will not take. In such cases, as the court points out,the physician can not certify that such child has been suc cessfullv vaccinated so as to meet the requirements of admission to school. The court's decision suggested the pos sibility of the health authorities, State or local, making a regulation setting forth the condition under which a child upon whom vaccination will not take should be permitted to attend school. The court also suggests that the health authorities would have to consider whether such a regulation would be undesirwbla as affording op portunity for the evasion of the sta tute. THE DEPARTMENT'S METHOD. "The department of health," con tinued health commissioner Dixon, "has taken this tendency to evade the law into consideration as it was oblig ed to do, aud yet we have endeavored to see that those children who could not be vaccinated should be admitted to school. Our method of accomplish ing from the first has been as follows : "When the cases that we received inquiry about were within the limits of a borough or city having a board of health of its own, we suggested that after two uusuccessf' 1 attempts to vac cinate a child, tin liird attempt be made by or in the presence of the pny siciati of tiie board of health. If this attempt failed, then the physician of the hoard acting in his official cap acity should authorize the admission of the child. IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS. "In the rural districts where there are no boards of health to pass upon sucli cases, I have always asked that after three unsuccessful attempts to vaccinate a child have been made, the name ot the child and the physician who made the attempts be referred immediately to the State department lof health. The cases have then been at once investigated bv our county medical inspectors or some one deput ized by them so that the child might not unjustly be debarred from school privileges. These method-; of dealing with the situation have been in cou formity with the supreme court's sug gestion that the health authorities as sume the responsibility of authorizing the admission to school of children upon whom after a reasonable number of attempts,vaccination does not take. "Taking advantage of the spirit of this part of the supreme court's opin ion, we have also endeavored to deal with the cases of children where there was reason to believe that the child's physical condition did not make vac cination at the present time advis able. The attorney general of the State had given an opinion that a teacher was not authorized to accept a certific ate from a physician, stating that the child was uot in a physical condition to be vaccinated. It is reasonable to believe, however, that although the simple giving of such a certificate by the family physician would uot be sufficient, the spirit of the supreme court's opinion would permit the re cognized health authorities throughout the State, after careful investigation, to pass upon such cases. BOARDS OF HEALTH THE JUDGES "Therefore, when such cases are now brought to the attention of our department, we have suggested that inside borough or city limits,the local board of health,through its physician, decide whether the child is well enough to attend school aud yet not in a fit condition to be vaccinated. In the districts where there are no boards of health we are having such cases investigated and passed upou by our regular couuty medical inspectors. "It will thus be seen," concluded Dr. Dixon,"that the State oepartmeut of health is doing everything possible to prevent any child from being un justly deprived of its schoolitig. If the parent or guardian, however, refuses to permit the child t.> lie vaccinate.! simplv through prejudice, the health authorities certainly have no power to interfere with the operation ot the law. In sucli cases we have done ev erything we could to overcome this prejudice by education so that the in nocent child might uot be made to suffer because the parent decided to leave it exposed to the ravages of small ]x)x rather than undergo vaccin it !.iu, which the legislature of Pennsylvania, in the exercise of ir- p >iic? power,has made one of the requi. iles of admis sion to -chooi.''

NOT A CASE OF TYPHOID FEVER It should be a cause for self-con gratulation among our citizens that the public health of Danville was probably never better iu ihe history of the town. This not only applies to the mouth of November just closed, but also for several months preceding. A year ago typhoid fever prevailed here to an extent that caused the State as well as local authorities some an xiety and Montour county in the health commissioner's report was ranked with Philadelphia and other doubtful centers. Iu contradistinction to such conditions the local registrar's report for November reveals a clean bill of health as far as typhoid fever is concerned, there being not one oase under treatment. During November there were eight cases of diphtheria, one of which was fatal. On one occasiou.it is iruo, there was a little anxiety on the score of diphtheria, but proper precaution brought about the desired results and now, in the first week of December, there is not a house under quarantine. During November there was one case of pneumonia audit resulted farally. There were two cases of erysipelas and one of these was fatal. During the month of November there were nineteen deaths, seven of these occurring <it the hospital for the in sane. The exact number of births for Nov ember is not accessible at this time but. for October there were twenty, eight births as against twenty-one deaths for that month. The average birth rate thus far has been uniformly above the death rate. A Year of Blood. The year IJAOB will long be remember ei in the home of F N.

Saturday marked the end of what is known as the hunting season in Penn sylvania, as the closed season on most animals generally known as game be gan on the first day of December. At the office of the State game com mission at Harrisburg it is said that the season has been a good one, and that instances of violation of the law have been comparatively few and those few swiftly punished. State Game Protector Kalbfus says that most of the violations of the game laws weie by foreigners, who paid no attention to the restrictions in regard to the number of birds and animals or tli9 time of the season. On the other hand most of the residents of the State have showed that tliev appreciated the laws and creerfully complied with the requirements, even aiding game ward ens in their work. The amount of game killed will probably break all records. The game on which the season clos ed Saturday is as follows: Deer, pheas ant, grouse, hare or rabbits, quail or partridge, wild turkeys, wood cock, squirrel aud plover. Locally the nuuters agree that the season was a fairly good one. So far as is known only two deer were shot by Danville hunters this year, but a great quantity of other game was bag ged, especially pheasants, wood cock, rabbits aud the like. Quail have been well protected dur ing the season just passed, an } there are numerous large coveys to be found in the fields ready to multiply. All now depends on the kind of winter that follows. Should this be harsh and snow bound enormous numbers of quail will perish, as occurred a couple of winters ago, while should the win ter be mild, nearly the entire number will survive and one of the best sea sou's shooting will be in store for sportsmen next year that was ever known.

As stated 011 Thursday morning the husband of Elizabeth Krebs appeared in this city Wednesday eveuing fur tlie purpose of securing bail. The pro position was not an easy one to hand le,however,as two additional warrants had been sworn out, one by Abraham Rosenstein and the other by Fred Howe, charging the woroeu with shop lifting audit was understood that these were yet to be served and would increase the matter of bail i-ousiier ably above s3oo,the amount demanded iu the case brought by S. Lowenstein, and which had resulted in the com mitment of the women. During Thursday nothing was ac complished and the two women passed a sorry Thanksgiving in jail. Friday several down-the-river acquaintances of the two women ap peared in Danville, and, assisted by Mr. Krebs, worked diligently all day long witli the end iu view of securing the release of the women on bail. The outcome of it all was that they were successful. First, however, the two warrants were served. Justice of the Peace Wil ilam V. Oglesbv temporarily moved his office to the jaii, occupying the office of Sheriff Maiers, who for the time being vacated his quarters. Mrs. Krebs and Mrs. Harr were brought inj to the justice's presence where infor mation, lodged by Mr. Rosensteiu and Mr. Howe, was read to each of the ac cused. The women both pleaded not guilty and waived a hearing of testi mony. In the case brought bv Abraham Rosenstein, Justice Ogleshy held the defendants in |2(X) bail: in the case brought by Fred W. Howe in $100; making the total amount of bail for each woman |6(H). On hand and realy to sitiu the neces sary papers were two hcudsmen in the persons of Herbert W. Cnramiuga, dis trict attorney of Northumberland conu ty and J. V. Lesher, Esq .of the town of Northumberland. It was about 5:30 o'clock when the two women, whose Tot since Tuesday had been an exceedingly hard one, stepped out of the prison with its de pressing associations into the pare aii of freedom. Tiny a'lYcted to think that they were badly abused women, and while they h id only praise for the kindness and consideration of the justice, they expressed themselves iu uncomplimentary terms concerning the policemen, and the constable,who figured in the arrest, as well as the newspaper men who wrote them up. Friends had placed a cab at their disposal and in this vehicle, behind fleet horses, just as the town clock tolled the hour of six,the two crestfall en women in the friendly shadows of Montour ridge made their way toward the town of Northumberland. Eacli is under bail for court, so that it is not beyond the range of probabil ity that we shall see the two women again—at the January term of court It is noticeable a cold seldom comes on when the b >wels are freely open Neither can it stay if they are open.

CAN'T TELL THE TRUTH. And while we are in the political arena let us consider these remarks by the Pottsville Miners' Journal: "Can didates who ran for office at the recent election are still filing their campaign expenses. Of course the defamation of character is not included in the bill. But much said ou the stump is not taken seriously, and hence can do no harm iu the minds of those who do not believe all that is said iu a politic al campaign." Unfortunately defama tion of character and reckless lying about reputable citizens aud faithful public servants still exits in certain l quarters to such an extent that the j truth about a bad man has no weight 1 if he happens to be a candidate. RESOLUTIONS. Teachers' institutes in various parts of the State are passing resolutions in favor of the enactment of a law pro viding for the payment of pensions to veteran teachers.
