BIG DEFICIT IN
STATE ROAD FOND
It is very evident that some of the
State roads asked for by counties of
Pennsylvania will go begging for sev
eral years to come. ludeed it is very
donbtful whether all the roads con
tracted for will be built, because of
the unavailability of funds. The im
provements asked by various counties
amount to $24. 518,908,whi1e the avail
able appropriation is only $5.710,000,
letving a deficit of |19,219,258 Out of
the original appropriation there was
available to June 1, 1907, $3,500,000
The State has paid out on contracts
for road construction the sum of sl.-
991,048. The balances unpaid on exist
ing contracts amount to $1,580,952,
making a grand total of $3,572,000,
which is over $72,000 more than the
amount available. This sum will have
to be paid out of the $1,500,000 which
becomes available for use on June 1 of
the present year, in order to complete
payments ou work already contracted
for and In many instances partly con
structed.
In a statement giving a list of coun
ties, the total number of feet applied
for, the approximate cost of construc

The Annual Cleaning Up.
The melting snow reveals many un
sightly places and has brought about
the usual conditions incidental to
spring. After a siege of winter such
as we have passed through, one feels
that any change would be agreeable
that would eliminate snow and ice.
The latter on melting, however, is
apt to produce mud together with oth
er accumulations that are both un
healthful and unsightly. If we recall
the experience of other years we may
be led to wonder whither the second
condition is not nearly as bad as the
first.
The paving on Mill street is objec
tionable enough, all of which, of
course, is unavoidable. The bricks are
covered with sticky paste, which makes
it exceedingly disagreeable for pedes
trians in crossing the street.
Nearly every back yard contains an
ash pile,intermixed with garbage rep
resenting the winter's accumulations.
It is unquestionably the most dispirit
ing Beason of the year.
Nevertheless, it is a period that
humanity each season has to pass
through and complaint is as puerile
as it is futile. The best that we can
do is to hope that the change from
winter to spring may be sudden and
abrupt—that warmer weather may
come soon aud coutinne without many
variations, drying up the mud and
causing old earth to take on a more
cheering aspect.
Meanwhile, we can help ourselves a
little, if we begin the process of clean
ing up and renovation just as soon as
conditions justify it. The street com
missioner will no doubt see to it that
Mill street receives its customary
scraping and sweeping as soon as the
paving dries off sufficiently. The ash
man will soon get busy aud his over
tures looking to au engagement should
be met in a friendly way. Let him be
put on the job early and, while the
back yard is being cleaned up.give the
cellar also a renovation using qoick
lime in unstinted quantities in ca.-e
there should be dampness or impurity.
Thus, while the premises are made
pleasing to the eye conditions conduc
ive to good health will also be promot
ed.
At White Hall.
The White Hall school will give its
annnal entertainment on Friday even
ing, March 15th. A fine program of
dialogues, recitations, tableaus and

teacher of the White Hall schools, has
charge of the preparations, aud says
that the entertaiument will be the fin
est ever given by the White Hall
school.
No admission will be charged, but
the hat will be passed. An excellent
library has been established in the
school by the collections from previous
entertainments. Each person attending
is requested to make an offering of a
dime.

FIFTY YEARS OF
MARRIED LIFE
Mr aud Mrs. David R. Slielliart
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
tlieir wedding at their home on Center
street Monday. Mr. aud Mrs. Shel
hart are among our best known and
highly esteemed residents. They are
both natives of this immediate vicin
ity and theii fifty years of married
life were spent in this city. Naturally
much interest attached to their golden
wedding, so that the function, viewed
in every light, was a success—one en
joyed alike by those who called to pay
their respects aud the venerable couple
on whom the honors were bestowed.
A pleasing episode in connection
with the golden wedding took place at
the Mahouing Presbyterian church on
Sunday afternoon. Mr. Shelhart has
been a member of tlie Mahoning Pres
byterian Suuday school for a period of
fifty years For forty years he has
been either superintendent or assist
ant superintendent of the Sunday
school.
In recognition of his long term of
service it was decided by the teachers
aud officers of the Sunday school on
the fiftieth anniversary ot his married
life to present him with a suitable
gift. The present selected was in the
form of a dozeu solid silver spqons
The presentation took place immedi
ately after Sunday school. The pre
sentation speech was made by Howard
B. Shultz, superintendent, to which
Mr. Shelhart very feelingly responded.
* Monday the fiftieth wedding an
niversary was celebrated by a family
dinner. Between the hours of 3:30 and
10 p. m. an imforuial reception was
held and a large number of persons
called at the family^homestead.
David R. Shelhart is a native of
Moutour county. His boyhood was
spent on a farm in Cooper township
He came to Dauville fifty-seven years
ago. For six years lie was a clerk in
Christian Laubach's store,after which
he went into business as a merchant
tailor, and for a period of over fifty
years he remained in business at
the same stand on Mill streat, retiring
about two years ago.
Mrs. Shelhart, who before marriage
was Miss Malinda DeMott, was born
near Jersevtown. She is a couple of
years younger than her husband, and
like him enjoys good health. That
both have many friends was well at
tested by the general interest shown
in their fiftieth anniversary—by the
deluge of congratulations and well
wishes for the future that were bestow
ed upon them.
•'ln 1897 I had a stomach uiseasa
Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some
Consumption. One said I would not
live uutil Spring. For four years I ex
isted on boiled milk, soda biscuits,
and doctors' prescriptions. I could not
digest anything I ate; tlieu I picked
up one of your Almauacs audit hap
pened to be my life-saver. I bought a
fifty-cent bottle of KODOL and the
benefit I received from that bottle all
the gold in Gporgia could not buy. In
two months I went back to my work,
as a machinist, and in three mouths I
was well and hearty. May you live
long aud prosper.C. N. Cornell,

a sample of the great good that is

The April "Smart Set."
Beatrix Demarest Lloyd is the auth
or of the novel which opens the April
Smart Set. Her story is entitled "The
Miniature," and she has never writteu
a finer piece of work. The scenes are
laid in Paris, and the absorbing nar
rative, which grips the reader's atten
tion at the outset, moves along to a
most unexpected and thilling conclu
sion. Of the younger writers of today,
none is more promising than Miss
Lloyd, and The Smart Set is to be con
gratulated on publishing so notable a
novel.
John G. Neihardt contributes a
piece of fiction entitled "Beyond the
Spectrum," which,because of its pow
er and weird setting, deserves a place
sid« by side with some of Edgar Allan
Poe's short stories. Harriet Gaylord,
in "Cousin Delice," tells a pathetic
tale of a young singer who sacrifices
her career,and learns too late how un
necessary that sacrifice was. A power
ful story is "Penalty" by a young
English writer, Michael Storm ; Kath
erine Metcalf Roof writes a fanciful
little story called "The Edge of the
Wood," full of poetic charm; Arthur
Stanley Wheeler is at his best in a
love story, "Indian Summer." Other
fiction is from Mrs. Luther Harris,
Mary L. Pendered, Mary Glascock, R.
K. Weekes and Mazo de la Roche, in
his most delightful vein. Bliss Car
man writes an essay called "The Music
of Life," which contains many quot
able passages. The poetry is varied
aud excellent, aud comes from such
verse-makers as Ethel M. Kelby, Elsa
Barker. Edwin L. Sabin, Arthur
Stringer. Gertrude H. McGiffert and
Charlotte Becker.

TWIN HIT WAGON
FARMER HID
The S. B. & B. railroad crossing at
Shaffer's bridge was the scene of a
serious accident Saturday morning at
11 o'clock, when a farm wagon in
which rode Freese Kistler and Alfred
Crawford, of Cambra, was run down
by a fast moving freight train, wagon
practically demolished, and both men
flung down the embankment, breaking
both of Kistler's legs.
The men were on theii way from
Mordausville to Bloomsburg in a cov
ered farm wagon drawn by Kistler's
team of horses. The train was on its
way to Berwick, and owing to the
curve at that point, the meu did not
see or hear the train; neither did the
trainmen see the wagon until the
horses were on the track, and the fast
approaching train was only a few
yards distant.
The engine struck the wagon near
the rear wheel and flung the body of
the vehiclo up onto the fence posts
along the track, the rear wheels and
axle being sent whirling down into
the ditch, aud both men were flung
down the ten-loot bank o£ the Fishing
creek.
Crawford escaped with apparently
no injuries beside a bad shaking up,
and picked himself up unassisted.
Kistler, however, was badly hurt Both
legs were broken just above the ankle,
both bones in each leg being fractur
ed.
William McMahon, who lives near
the bridge, came running to the scene
and the train was brought to a stop as
soon as possible. Kistler was carried
up onto the road, and placed in Mc-
Mahon's wagon and driven back to his
home in Cambra. Physicians declared
his to be one of the worst kinds of
fractures,and as both limbs were brok
en, it is liable to incapacitate Mr. Kist
ler for future farm work, or for auy
occupation which requires a great
deal of standing on the feet The in
jury is a very painful one. Besides
the fracture of the legs, internal in
juries are also feared, aud seveial
bruises were found about ttie body.
The greater part of the farm wagou
which was struck by the train was
left a mass of wreckage. The team of
horses, however, were the least con
cerned of all over the accident, and
were not even scared wheu ttie train
struck the wagon aud knocked it Irom
behind thetn. They patiently stood in
the roadway uutil driven over the Mc-
Mahon farm.
Injured ai Exchange.
A thrilling accident occurred at the
plauing mill of W. H. Dildiue at Ex
change Mouday afternoou, when
John W. Ritter, an employe at the
plant, was caught in a belt, thrown
into the machinery, and his right arm
torn loose at ttie shoulder, the upper
end of the big boue being forced
through the flesh.
Mr. Ritter was carryiug boards away
from the planer, when his coat caught
in one of ttie smaller belts, throwing
him toward the big main shaft. In
falling his right arm struck the big
belt that runs the planer, which oper
ates at a very high speed.
In a twinkling the man's arm was
securely caught betweeu the belt and
the pulley wheel, and as the machin
ery continued to revolve, his arm was
wound around the shaft,and that mem
ber torn loose from the shoulder.
W. H. Dildine, proprietor of the
mill, by his presence of mind prevent
ed a horrible catastrophe from occur
ring. He quickly reversed the engine
and threw off the big belt, stopping
the machinery. But quick as he was,
tie was not an instant too soon to save
Mr. Ritter's life.
Wheu lifted from his perilous posi
tion, Mr. Ritter was nearly unconsc
ious. He was taken to his home in Ex
change, and Dr. Muffly, of Turbot
vilie was called. An examination
showed that the big bone of the upper
arm had been entirely torn loose at
the shoulder joint, every ligament be
ing severed. In addition to this the
upper end of the bone had been pulled
over into the man's chest, where it
protruded for seven inches through a
rent in the flesh 6 inches long.
The physician last evening was con
fident that the injury will ultimately
mend, but it will be at least two
months before Mr. Ritter can again
use his arm.
Eloped With Italian.
Mrs, Gabriel Weurick, of Northum
berland,wife of the D. L. &W round
house foreman, has eloped with au
Italian laborer, who was employed on
the Pennsylvania, railroad in that
town.
On Saturday night she went to Sun
bury with the Italian, as was especi
ally noticed by the motormau and con
ductor of ttie street car,and since then
no trace has been found of either of
them.
Mr. and Mrs. Wenrick have been
married but little over a year. He has
passed ttie half century mark, while
she lis not yet reached twentv. His
first wife died about 6ix years ago af
ter doing her 'khare towards the prop
agation of species by bringing four
teen children into the world. He
mourned the loss of his helpmate for
about five years, and then began to
look around for auottier to fill her
place.
Ou a farm bordering the borough
limits of Northumberland, he found a
country girl, beautiful, fascinating
aud unsophisticated. He won her love
aud brougtit tier to town as his wife.
This was but little over a year ago
Since that time great changes were
wrought. Mrs. Weurick felt that she
was imposed upon when forced to be
come the stepmother of fourteen chil
dren, several of whom were older than
site was. Then, too, she met the Ital
ian. He was only a laborer,to be sure,
working with a gang of his fellcw
countrymen keeping the Pennsylvania
tracks in repair. Bui, ou the otli r
hand lie was verv gallant, and his
black eyes and gay smile won the
heart of the young woman. Her in
fatuation for him increased uutil she
finally consented to ruu away with
him.
CHANGES IN
SCHOOL LAWS
Some radical changes in the school
laws of the State will be urged during
the present session of the legislature
by the Pennsylvania State Educational
society through its legislative commit
tee, of which J. B. Richey, superin
tendent of the McKeesport public
schools, is president
At its recent meeting in Harrisburg
the department of superintendence
talked over needed laws, and the leg
islation to be urged is at its sugges
tion.
The most revolutionary change de
sired is the election of borough and
city school directors at large, by the
vote of the whole people. The depart
ment is of the opinion that a school
board of five or seven members is bet
ter than the large ones now necessary.
Boston has such a board.
Among the legislation to be urged
are the following:
The appropriation of $8,030,000 an
nually for the support of the public
schools of the Commonwealth,and the
additional sum of SIOO,OOO each, an
nually, for township, borough and city
high schools.
The passage of the bill now pending
for the appointment of a State high
school inspector as a deputy of public
instruction.
A clause permitting children over
twelve years of age to take employ
ment upon all holidays and vacations,
upon temporary certificates issued by
the school authorities
The following points in any bill en
acted for the regulation of "child lab
or" in this State :
The minimum age for the employ
ment of children in factories shoulu
not be less than fourteen years.
The evidence as to age should be
corroborated by the affidavit of the
parent or guardian.
The number of hoars per day for
such labor should not exceed eight, or
forty eight per week.
The attendance officer should have
the same legal access to mills and
factories as the deputy factory in
spector has
The attendance officer, or any other
citizen, should be empowered to be
gin suit against an employer for vio
lation of the law.
No child under sixteen years of age
may be employed unless said child can
read, write and perform the funda
mental operations of arithmetic.
All certificates of employment should
be issued uuder the direction of the
school authorities of the district in
which the child resides.
v DOING TMEIR DUTY
Scores of Danville Readers ari Learning
the Duty of th-; Kidr.eys.
To filter the blood is the kidneys'
duty.
When they fail to do this the kid

Backache and many kidney ills fol
low ;
Urinary trouble, diabetes, Doan's
Kidney Pills cure them all.
Danville people endorse our claim.
David H. Jones, printer, of 401
Church St., says:"l think very high
ly of Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured
me of an enervating backache and
lameness across the small of my back
This trouble commenced with sharp
twinges over my hips and later I had
considerable pain all over my back
even extending to the top of the bead,
in fact, I never knew where the pain
would strike me next. I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills highly recommended and
procured a box at a drug store. It only
required a short time to show that
they were helping me, and after tak
iug the treatment for a time the trou
ble left me entirely aud I have had no
return of it for years. I made a state

statement stands as good today as it
did then."

To Organize Young Ladies' Club.
A movement is on foot by one of the
clergymen of Bellefonte to organize a
young ladies club. The club will in
clude all young ladies working in the
homes of Bellefonte. the factories,
clerks, stenographers, girls of leisure
and others. Departments will be nice
ly furnished for reading, writing and
games. It is said a danco hall will be
included among the pleasures the
ladies will be able to enjoy, where
they can ask their gentlemen friends
to come and "Waltz me around agai n
Willie."
Iu commenting on this novel move,
the Bellefonte News says:"lt is sin
cerely hoped that the movement will
pau out all right for in Bellefonte we
have some girls who are seen con
stantly on the street from morning un
til night, and perhaps this institution
will be the means of making them
better women.
"It is the first time anything of the
kind has ever been attempted here and
it is a question as to whether or not
it will prove a success. Iu Bellefonte j
we have a dozen different classes of
girls, aud we admit that some are not j
as good as they should be and are talk
ed about, run down aud shunned, but
these same girls have souls to save as
well as the higher class ones. Now
when all these women get together in
a social way in the club rooms and are
on friendly terms, will they still be
kind and friendly when they meet on
the streets and in public places? If so
the club will be a success if not it
will be a failure."

tained by our chief burgess, W. J.
Rogers, who is a member of the order.
The entertainment was a continuous
one, beginning at 7:30 o'clock and
lasting until the hour of midnight.
The meeting on the whole was a de
cided success, promoting a warm frat
ernal relation between the brethren of
our own town and Sbamokin. It was
especially beueficial to the young men
of the local lodge, who are forming a
team to confer the amplified form of
the rank of knight. The drilled team
from Sbamokin was especially profici
ent aud its work was much admired.
Indeed of the visitors and the mem
bers of the local lodge alike.it may be

BROTHERHOOD
ORGANIZED
A Presbyterian Brotherhood was
organized at the Grove church Friday
night and that influential congregation
is now on the list of churches that
have fallen in witli this modem move
ment to brim; the great body of men,
indifferent as to the cause of religion,
into closer touch with devout and God
fearing people, to interest them in the
working aud the affaiis of the church
ami finally through these agencies to
secure their conversion to God.
The supper and the meeting held a
month a*£o paved the way for organiza
tion Friday. Since then there has
been much enthusiasm among the men
of the church relatiug to the subject
of the brotherhood. It was known that
there was an abundance of good mater
ial on hand, men who were merely
waiting for the privilege of enrolling
their names.
All that was necessary Friday night
was the formal act of organization,
which was performed by Rev. O. G.
Morton, pastor of the First Presbyter
ian church of Suubury, who is the
brotherhood organizer of the North
umberland Presbytery.
A supper, furnished by the ladies of
the congregation, was served in the
annex at the rear of the chapel at 7
o'clock, at'; which were present the
men who attended the previous meet
iug aud who expected to join the
brotherhood.
The supper, as on the previous oc
casion, was abundant, well prepared
aud well-served. Immediately after
the meal. Rev. O. G Morton deliver
ed au address, which was terse aud to
the point.dealing with the subject of
the brotherhood. Following is a syno
psis of Rev. Morton's address, which
had as its theme, "The Church and
the Brotherhood."
"Men of the church as a class are
falling to the rear of the great hosts
of God iu both service and benevol
ence. This occurs largely because the
men are not organized into associa
tions as women are. To evangelize
men, to pray and labor for their salva
tion is the need of the hour, second to
no other call iu the sphere of Christian
work. Men of the church have heard
the call aud the brotherhood move
ment is the result.
This movement is the most import
ant iu the work of the church. It
means that the Master is moving the
sons of God for a great purpose. It
means the lining up of the splendid
brawn of the Presbyterian division of
the grand army of God. The brother
hood has been compared to a piece of
machinery that is to be added to the
Presbyterian church's working equip
ment to do special work among men
In the church there are the scattered
parts of a machine that are powerless.
They need an organizing force to gath
er them up and make a complete
throbbing machine Here is a justifi
cation of the brotherhood. Bring the
men into active contact with the pow
er of the church and connect them
witli the power.
If a niau comes into too close con
tact with commercialism he becomes
sordid in money-getting. He needs
contact with an organized effort in
the church to give him a balance be
tween religion and commercialism.
There is a keen demand today that
men may succeed in their daily avoca
tions and be honest at tne same time.
The brotherhood is not togo into
politics, but its members will put
Christianity iu all its affairs.
The Uuited Statesceususshows th»t
the majority of adult males are not in
direct connection with any Christian
church. About twelve percent of adult
males are connected with the Roman
Catholic church ;twenty-four per cent
with the several Protestant churches,
and sixty-two per cent make no per
sonal profession of Christian faith
The total Romau Catholic and Pro
testant male church membership is
about 6,500.000. the total adult males
being about 17,140,000. There are,
therefore, in this country, about ten
millions of men of full age who are
uot in communicant membership of
any church, and more than half of
them never enter church.
A portion of this great multitude of
men who do not attend churdi are in
our own towns. It is onr duty togo
after them and bring them into vital
touch with the gospel.
Statistics show that there are two
females to every male iu the Ameri
cau Protestant churches. It is import
ant to note that while the preaching
and official force is composed almost
exclusively of men the unofficial ac
tivities, missionary, sabbath school
and pastoral, are largely carried on by
women. To leav.3 men to one side, as
lias been done in the past, is to lose
au executive force, whose value is be
youd any other'alike iu quality aud
quantity.
The world's aggressive work has
been and is being done mainly by men
and will so continue to be done as
long as man is man
Every sincere Christian In view of
the situation, should hail with plea
sure the organization of the brother
hood. The formation of brotherhoods
elsewhere has resulted in eularged at
tendance upon the Sabbath and week
day services aud a quickened spiritu
ality. For the accomplishment of
blessed spiritual results God invites
the men in this land to co-operate
with Him. Men are the divine instru
ments for the salvation of men. Of
that Christ is the abiding evidence
aud how great the need of this co
operation with our Lord! What the
church needs today is the blood-earn
estness of men engaged in the labor of
saving their brothers."
An appropriate address was also de
livered by Rev. Dr. Hemingway, of
Bloomsburg.

BENNETT FASIS
BROUGHT $15,800
I
The John R. Bennett farms iu An
thony aii'3 Derry towiiships, were sold
at public sale from the courthouse
steps Saturday afternoon to Mark Gra
ham, of Jersey town, for $15,200
The sale had been widely advertis
ed, and this together with the interest
that centers in this jiroperty 011 ac
count of the litigation involved, and
rapid change of ownership during the
past several years, brought out a big
crowd to hear the bidding. Amom? the
spectators were a large number of
farmers, including many from the
section of the couuty iu whici the
farms are situated.
Ex-Sheriff Michael Breckbill di 1 the
crying, and J. M Anderson, of Phila
delphia, who represented J. Hector
McNeal, trustee, acted as clerk. The
bidding started at SIO,OOO, this being
the amount that D. R. Rishel, of Ot
tawa, was under S3OOO bond to pay for
the property. #12,000 was reached in
SSOO jumps, after which the purchase
price was attained by bids of SIOO and
less. There were only four bidders;
Mr. Graham, the purchaser; D. R.
Rishel, Alexander Billmeyer and Henr /
Cooper.
After the farms had been disposed
of, the following farm products were
sold: 26 tons of baled hay at $15.75

Nature's "Air Castles."
In the northern Italian Tyrol are a
cluster of awe-iupsiring mountain
peaks that violate all ideas of what
mountains should be. They are known
as the Dolomites. Tossed high, as if
arrested in mid-air, they are nature's
own "Castles In the air." More than
any castle walls ever built by man,
they seem to defy all possibility of
ascent. So little known, and so defiant
are these mountains obelisks that they
have never been conquered by man un
til a few months ago. Just how they
were finally surmounted is shown ful
ly in Lyman H. Howe's Lifeorama to
be given in the Armory on Tuesday
evening, March 19th.

POLICEMEN'S PAY.
In regard to the salaries paid its po
licemen the Wilkes-Barre Daily Rec
ord says: "A Wilkes-Barre policeman
is compelled to work two years for S6O
a month. He is compelled to buy an
outfit costing about a hundred dollars.
At any time he may be called upon to
take his life in his hands. Only last
Saturday a South Main street patrol
man risked his life in chasing armed
Italians who were mixed up in the in
discriminate shooting in which three
men were wounded. A salarj of S6O a
month is less than is paid the ordin
aiy laborer in these times, when the
cost of living is so high. Is it right?
It makes no difference what other
cities are paying. The question is, are
the Wilkes-Barre policemen being
justly dealt with?"

Atlantic Whaling.
It is a curious experience for the
spectators of Lyman H. Howe's Life
orarna to watch from comfortable seats
the rolling ocean and the wild rushing
and pitching of a huge, unwieldy
harpooned whale. Under the title.
"Whaling in the Atlantic." Mr. Howe
offers in his new program one of the
most remarkable moving pictures that
have ever been secured since the in
ception of animated photoeraphy. As
the picture progresses the whaling ves
sel is seen coining into view, and the
crew busily makes fast the whale,now
stitt and rigid, in the tossing waters.
At the whaling station are seen two
whales—one measuring 84 feet and the
other 78—with their enormous humps
crowded with sea gulls. "Atlantic
Whaling" is of course, but one of the
mauy other features equally interest
ing in Mr. Howe's new program. It
is notable not ouly as a life-like re
production of a remote and perilous
calling, but as a curious example of
Mr. Howe's tireless search after novel
ties.
