STEAM PLANT
FIRED UP
The steam plant at F. Q. 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.

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.

Buy Presents Earl>.
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.

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. Tacket, of Alli
ance, Ky., as a year of blood; which
flowed so copiously from Mr. Tacket's
lutigs that death seemed very near. He
writes: "Severe bleeding from the lungs
and a frightful e-o igh had wrought me
at death's door, when I began taking
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump
tion, with the astonishing result that
after taking four bottles I was com
pletely restored and as time has proven
permanently cured " Guaranteed for

Game Season Closed Friday.
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.
Made Happy for Life.
Great happiness came into the home
i of S. C. Blair, school superintendent, at
St. Albans, W. Va., when his little
daughter was restored from the dr«ad
ful complaint he names. He says: "My
little daughter had St- Vitus' Dance,
which yielded to no treatment but grew
steadily worse until as a last resort we
tried Electric Bitters: and I rejoice to

ACCUSED WOKEN
RELEASED SN DAIL
Mrs. Elizabeth Krebs aud Mrs. Laura
Hair, otherwise respectively, Lizzie
Dob, tall aud stout aud wearing eye
glasses,aud Sallie Roe, tall HIHI slender,
arrested in this city as shop lifters
on Tnesdav, were released ou bail Fii
evening and are now iu their happy
home in Northumberland.
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.

What to Do.
Tnere is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
v/ineor beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

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. There will be no
difficulty in securing the approval of
teachers for such a measure; the es
sential ami important thing is to get
the friendship aud favor of those who
are uot teachers.

—it controls the inflammation,
