Shiloh Reformed ohueob. of this
citv, baa rounded out one-half a oent
ury of life and at the latter .part of
May or tbe first of /one the. congrega
tion will oelebmte its semLoentennial
with a monster.jubilee, that will last
one week.
Prior to the organisation of the
Shiloh congregation and tbe erection
of the oommodioos church etrooture,
fifty years ago, the Reformed church
at Mausdale and the one-at Ridgeville
were already In exirteooe.
When Shiloh Reformed ohureb was
organ iaed there were only fourteen
members. When it is stated that there
are now 350 members of the congrega
tion it is plain that the church lias
grown and prospered. The Sunday
school oonnectod with the Shiloh Re
formed church is said to be tbe lan-1
est in Danville.
For many years Shiloh Reformed
church and tbe churehes ef that de
nomination at Maasdaie and Ridge
vilie were incorporated in one charge.
They continued thus until some fifteen
years ago. since whi oh time the
cbarches at Mewttaie and RldgeviUe
have comprised one eharge and Shiloh
has had a paster of its own.
When the three ohnrobasweae under
one pastor there were few more im
portant charge* in the State. Among
the preachers in charge were some of
the most learned and eminent divines
of the Reformed ohureb. Beginning
with tbe organisation of Shiloh alvuroh
the pastors in charge were as follows :
Rev. Dr.,'Steuimeta, Rev. George W.
Hall, Rev. W. C. SohaeCer, D. D. ;
Rev. J. A. Peters, D.D. ; Rev. Charles
B. Alkpaob, Rev. Dlodoras DJeffen
bacher. Rev. William K. Buahong,
Rev. George E. Limber* and Bar. Jo
seph E. Gur.
Of the above clergytueo.former past
ors of Shiloh, Rer. Dr. SteLnmstx,
Rer. Dr. Peters, Rer. Dlodoras Dief
fenbacher, and Rer. George E. Lim
bert are deoeaeed. An effort will be
made to hare those of the abore who
surrire present as speakers during tbe
week of jubilee.
Rer. Joseph E. Guy, the present
pastor, is diligently at work on -a
souvenir volume, which will be oom
pleted and ready for delirery when
the time of the jubilee arrires. It will
be a highly interesting rolume con
taining, beside raluable historical
data, illustrations showing a number
of Danville's residences, business

TERRIFIC THUNDER
SHOWER RAGED
TYRONE, Pa., March 20.
Under a deluge of rain and amid
awful thunder aud lurid lightuiug
the first anniversary of the thirty
ninth session of the Ceutral Pennsyl
vania annual conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church begau last
night in First church, Tyrone.
A STRIKING COINCIDENCE.
It was a striking coincidence that
the first hymn of the meeting should
be "There shall be showers of bless
ing." A stroug presentation of ag
gressive evangelism was made by the
Rev. Dr. T. S. Henderson, field super
intendent of the geueral conference
commission. He will conduct at 4
o'clock every afternoon the pentecostal
meetings of the conference.
A very large class of applicants for
admission on trial to the conference
has already appeared.
IN STAR CHAMBER SESSION.
After a preliminary meeting of the
five presiding elders, a fortnight ago,
yesterday in Huntingdon, the cabinet
conference was resumed. Upon the ar
rival of Bishop W. F. McDowell late
yesterday afternoon, the real work of
canvassing the churches asking for
ohange of pastors and the preachers
who wish to better their condition
was started.
The Rev. W. W. Evans, D D., a
former elder of the Harrisburg dis
trict; T. S. Wilcox, D. D., long sup
erintendent of the Methodist book
rooms ; B. C. Conner, are associated
as presiding elders with the Rev. E.
M. Stevens, the present elder of Har
risburg distiict and Dr. R. H. Gil
bert. These are the advisors of the
biehop and assist in making the ap
pointments of tbe 360 preachers to 690
churches, whose membership is almost
76,000. There are 639 Sunday schools,
manned by 9,154 teachers and officers,
with an enrollment of 70,934 The
estimated value of churches is $3,407,-
900 and opon the 317 parsonages the
value is placed at $631,000.
In benevolence the conference stands
almost at the head of the long list of
li 6 annual bodies. The total sum con
tributed this year will be $90,000, of
which #65,000 will be for missions.
YESTERDAY'S SESSION.
The first business meeting Bishop
McDowell called to order this morn
ing at 9 o'clock. He conducted im
pressive devotional eiercisesaud made
a tender, forceful address to the con
ference. Organization was effected by
the election of J. F. Anderson,of Pat
ton, secretary: J. E Breunemau, of
Liverpool, statistical secretary, and
John Horning, of Costello, treasurer,
who named their corps of assistants.
Following minor routine business
the memorial session opened at 11
o'clock. This is one of tbe most inter
esting hours of the conference week,
(or brethren pay tribute to the me
mory of their departed fellow work
lngmen, and to the widows and wives
of Methodist preachers.
Tender memories, prepared by loving
hearts, were read,for William Schrib
er, R. H. Wharton, John W. Itue, at
one time pastor of Fifth Stieet church ;
George W. Stevens, who died iu Har
risburg, in the third year of hid eld
ership, and who had so much to do
with the erection of Fifth Street
oburch and the development of that
oongregatiou; and W. McK. Reiley,
and for Mrs. W D Ryan, Mrs. E. A.
Reese, who died iu extreme age, in
Harrisburg ; Mrs. Mary M. Graham,
Mrs. R. Memiuger, and Mrs Mary
Switaer.
This afternoou the standing com
mittees met for organization aud out
lined the work of the conference
Tonight the Foreign Missionary S >-
oiety holds its anniversary. Bishop E.
G. Andrews is the speaker.
Yesterday afternoon the seven trus
tees of the conference were iu session.
Their corpoiate office is in the city of
Harrisburg, where their annual meet
ing is held on the fourth Wednesday
after the adjournment of conference.
They will report au increase of |:i,000
to the annuity fund at Thursilav's
corporate session.
WAIT A WHILE.
The Wilkes-Barre Record indulges ,
in the following reflections which are
as applicable to the sphere of this
State as any other: "The summer girl
may be anxious to throw off there- |
straint of the dull aud dreary season >
and blossom forth in all her glory dnr- j
ing the suushiny days. But it is well '
to remember that the pneumococcus t
still lurks about. The girl who is not j
j
anxious to change her summer attire ;
for a shroud hail better not be too
hasty."
DOWNRIGHT RASCALITY
The Johnstown Journal is of the j
opinion that the result of the capitol j
investigation now ou wi'l he to show j
that there was a great deal of down
right rascality iu connection with tbe
completion of the structure. If add--: J
"From the present trend of affairs it
would surprise no one if the investiga
tion shonld develop some candidates for
the pentieutiary."
SAYS LITTLE—THINKS MUCH.
Annouuciug the arrival of spring,
the Titnsville Herald adds : "The days
draw nigh when the man of the house
will eat his dinner from the third
round of the stepladder and sort his
collars from a bonfire in the back yard.
If young and inexperienced he will
say things and ceate trouble but the
wise man will keep his couusels with
much thiuking aud little speech "

BOOST THE BEST
NOT TIE OLDEST
It has been given front what appears
authoritative source that the railroads
doing business 111 the autr.»cite region
are going to avoid the seniority rule,
anil give promotions to the best and
the most deserving instead of the old
est employe.
The seniority rule was adopted by
the compauies about ten years ago aud
lias beeu strictly adhered to except up
on ra e occasions, ever since. But the
oldest employee is not always deserv
ing, aud yet as long as he passes the
: examination that is all that is requir
j ed. The companies are goiug tore
! quest a mod iticatiou of the order Tiiev
| waut it to read that all conditions be
ing equal the promotion shall be giveu
to the oldest, employe
i The chauge is sure to cause trouble,
because it is an established condition
■ the railroaders secured after years of
! agitation audit will go against the
graiu t) see it eliminated without hav
ing the chauce t > protest. Tne senior
ity rule will be iguored from this time
Oil
Preference will he sriveu to the old
est but the most efficient will net the
chance of promotion. All conditions
being equal the oldest employes in the
point of service will bp advanced, bur
I it is the plan of the officials to add to
the efficiency of the department, aud
an effort will be made > nly to get the
best, it matters not if increased sal
aries will have to be paid.
"The railroad compauies prefer ex
perienced men," declared an official,
"but we have firemen who will never
make competent engineers; we have
brafeen en who will never make con
ductors, an I we have conductors who
are at home on a frieglit but could not
conduct a passenger tr.iiu. Thus it
will be plaiuly observed that the old
est man is not always the most effici
eut. It is tne expert service the com
pauies are always striving to obtain.

This Dog is a Tlenace.
A number of people have their eyes
on a very vicious dog belonging to a
tattiily living in the vicinity of Bloom
and Ash streets aud un'ess the canine
speedily mends Ins ways he will prob
ably have only a few davs to live.
The dog, which is of the mongrel
type, has bitten sev ral persons during
the last few months the attack in
each case being uupri.voked. The dog s
treachery w is well illu-trateil by what
occurred Sunday niaht.
About 7 o c'ock a well known citi
zen was walking dowu Bloom street;
opposite tiie Grove chnrch he was met
by tne do>?, whi h was in company
with a little girl; without the least
waruiug the dog stole up behind the
mau aud seized him by the leg, sink
ing his teeth deep into the flesh The
brute showed his mvh.'o > ; «po«ition
by refusing to relei-e iiis hold and
was shaken off only b\ a violent ef
fort.
A deep and painful wound was iu
flicted. It was not suspected that the
dog was afflicteii with hydrophobia,
but as a preciutiou the wound was
cauterized.

THE BEAR IS
STILL WITH OS
It seems altogether likely that among
the denizens of Montour ridge and ad
jacent woodlaud during the coming
summer will be a real live bear. A day
or so ago bruin was seen between
Mausdale and Dauville by a reliable
citizen, whose word would go any
where.
Tiie bear had come down from Mo'u
four ridge and very leisurely aud with
out scenting danger crossed the rail
road aud made tracks across the mead
ow to the opposite ridge, where he
disappeared among the pines at the
rear of Huuter's Park. He was a big
fellow aud iu every respect answered
the description of the bear that ap
peared at Mr. Foust's farm northeast
of Dauville three weeks ago.
The fact that bruin is still hanging
arouud would indicate that he iuteuds
to make this place his habitat. His
probable presence duriug the summer
will uo doubt add a romautic interest
to picuickiug parties, while during
autumn when the huuters start out,
there will be oue more variety of game
to reckon with.
For the benefit of those who might
covet bruin's pelt we would state that
the opeu season for bear closed with
Marcii Ist. Thetefore. so long as the
big shaggy animal coudacts himself
with discretion, betweeu the present
aud next October, he should be able to
cross aud recross the valley as often as
he pleases without fear of molestation.

Fell on Bridge Approach.
Frank Long, sou of Harry Long,
Iron street, who is convalescent after
an attack of typhoid fever, was over
come at the south end of the bridge
Monday, falling to the ground, un
conscious.
The boy was accompanied by an eld
er brother. It was thought he would
be benefited by the stroll, as the
weather was pleasant. The exertiou,
him ever, proved too much for him and |
uo sooner had the boys stepped off the
bridge than Frank, without the least
warning, fell forward, the side of his
face striking the stones on the bridge
approach. His brother tried to assist
him to his feet but found that he was i
unconscious. His face where it had
come iu contact with the sharp stones,
was bleeding profusely.
The boy was carried into the resi
dence of Peter J. Burger near the
bridge and Dr. Hiuchellwood was call- j

Would Change School Courses.
Although Danville has most excel
lent public schools, parents of this
town who have occasion to move to
other places, often experience great '
inconvenience for the reason that the
schools here and iu the other places j
ar<"> uut of a same grade and standard, i
which usually results in the holdiug
back of their children. All this would !
be alleviated by a measure which Rep

be oai ui a liw. Iu a rural district!
like Montour countv the law would
have an especial bearing, and would
increase the standard of most of our

The new law would authorize the
State superintendent of public instruc
tiou to name "five active scho )1 men"
to arrange in detail a course of in
siuict.iou for all schools of the State.
Tl:e course is to be adjustable to school
years of eight and niue months, and

HAS MONEY
IN THE BANK
The auditors of the borough of Wasli
iugtouville liave completed their work
ami their report of the expenditures,
receipts, etc., show that Washington
ville lias the distinction of having
mou«y in the bauk.
There are very few municipalities
that do not have an indebtedness of
some sort or another, aud fewer still
are the towns where the accounts bal
auce. But Washiugtonville goes them
all one better,making the proud state
ment that at the eud of the year end
ing March Ist , 1907, they are just
SBO2 08 to the good.
Wa-hiugtouville ius't a large place,
laying claim to a total population of
but 208. but she is the only other bor
j ough beside Danville iu little Mou-
I tour. She has her burgess, and 8 couu
ciluieu, and is a lawabidiug commuu
j ity, although at one time it was
! thought necessary to maiutain there a
lockup.
And thereby hangs a tale, for Wash
iugtonville claims to have had the
original "cooler " Several years ago
w'leu it occurred to some enterprising
official that a borough bastile might
come iu handy, * search was made for
a suitable structure tor the purpose A
most ad uirable miniature jail was
disc ivere I in the form of an abandon
ed meat refrigerator. Tiie refrigerator
was pressed iuto service, and suited
the purpose in all respects.
Possibly many of the readers of this
article have often wondered from
where the term "cooler" was derived,
j and these will be interested to learn
that the term originated iu Washing
i touvilie, where the first and oulv orig
j inal refrigerator lockup "cooler" was
i maintained.
j The "cooler" served its purpose
j well. The contemplated horrors of a
term in the original "cooler" were so
terrible that there is no record of any
( ujau so fearless as to break the law
j and invite the penalty of being iu
; carcerated. So iu tbe course of time,
to be more exact about a year ago, the
' "cooler" was dismantled and now
lies iu disuse. But let not the evil
; doer rejoice for any time that it is
needed it cau easily be reinstated iu
usefulness.

B. Spiegel, 1207 N. Virginia St.
Evausville, lud., writes: "For over
five years I was troubled with kidney
and bladder affectious which caused
me much pain and worry. I lost flesh
and was all run down, and a year ago
had to abandou work entirely. I had
three of the best physicians who did
me no good anil I was practically giv

HORRIBLE IfflE
AT SPRINGFIELD
Shamokin's blood stained suburb,
Springfield, was the scene Saturday
morning of oue of the most brutal
murders that has ever occurred iu that
vicinity. The first intimation that a
crime had been committed was when
the body of Charlie Yeschalony,an in
dustrious cobbler, was fouud iu his
shop with his bead nearly severed
from his body and a bloody hatchet
laying nearby.
When found life was nearly extinct
iu the body of the victim. He was
hurried to the Miners' hospital at
Ashland, where he died last night at
5:30 o'clock
His self confessed slayer is now in
i the Northmberland county jail at Sun
| bury, aud will be taken to Shamokiu
i this morning for a hearing.
Stauuy Marcavage, a Polander. aged
■ 19 years, who himself says that he com
mitted the murder, was captured Sat
; urday afteruoou He maintains a hor
rible air of bravado, and says he has
no fear of the cousequeuces of his
crime
Saturday after the discovery of the
crime, Marcavage, who is a most de
praved type of foreigner, was iu oue
of the Spriugfield saloons spending
mouey freely. A driver on a beer wag
ou. made information that the man
should be arrested as he had more
money on his person than he could
have come by honestly. He was arrest
ed, and when the handcuffs were plac
ed on him,he made the statement that
they could take him and do with him
as they pleased. ' I don't care a d "
hejoudly remarked, "for the rope or
the electric chair, but if you leave it
to me I'll take the chair."
At the squire's office where he was
i taken, he said that he had committed
the murder, aud to show his reason
for the crime,he reached in his pocktt
aud with a sweep of his hand, scatter
ed a raiu of silver aud banknotes over
the room. He had in all 189.50.
i It is known that the murdered man
had iu his shop about s'2oo. and as
only SIOO can be accounted for with
the mouey obtained from Marcavage,
it is thought that he had an accom
plice, who took the other SIOO.
"In 1897 I had a stomach liiseasa.
Some physicians said Dyspepsia, some
Consumption. One said 1 would not
live uutil Spring. For four years I ex
isted on boiled milk, soda biscuits,
aud doctors' prescriptions. I could not
digest anything I ate; theu I picked
up one of your Almauacs audit hap

of a uniform course of study for rural

longer aud with a graded course of
study the rural schools will have the
advantages of the town aud city

PINK LEMONADE,
The Story of It* Introduction to ths
Circuit Public.
"Old Peter Conklin, the clown," said
a circus official, "was the first to give
piuk lemonade to the world.
"It dates back to 18.">7, when Conklin
was traveling in the south with Jere
Mabie's show. C'onklin had a dis
pute with Mabie and jumped the show
down in Texas. I've had the story
right from his own lips. He bought a
couple ol mules and an old covered
wagon, some tubs, tartaric acid, a
lemon, a bushel or two of peanuts and
started iu the refreshment business.
He followed the circus with his wagon,
and every time the tents were pitched
be would mount a box and harangue
the crowd with:
"Here Is your Ice cold lemonade,
Made in the shade.
Stick your tinger In the glass;
It'll freeze fast.
"The lemonade sold splendidly, and
he couldn't wait on the people fast
enough. One day he was surrounded
by a mob scrambling for 'the juice,'
when his water supply ran out. There
were no wells or springs at hand. He
rushed into the big tent, but there was
ne'er a drop of water to be had. Iu his
excitement he invaded the dressing
tent. Fannie Jamieson, the bareback
rider, was wringing out a pair of pink
tights, the aniline dye coloring the wa
ter a very pretty shade. Conklin didn't
stop to ask any questions. lie grabbed
up the tub and ran. Into the tub he
threw some acid and the property lem
on and called out:
" 'Come quickly. Buy some fine
strawberry lemonade.'
"His sales were doubled that day,
and since then no well regulated circus
is without pink lemonade. However,
we do not make it the same way now,
aud sometimes strawberries are used
as well as lemons."—-Exchange.
BRUNSWICK STEW.
A Oantronomie Triumph With a Na
tional Reputation.
This celebrated stew originated in
Brunswick county, Ya„ from which It
takes its name—a county most famous
in antebellum days for its perfect
cuisine and gastronomlcal predilec
tions. The originator was either Mr.
Haskins or Mr. Stlth, each claiming
during a long life the distinction of
having made the lirst stew and dying
without a proper adjustment of the con
troversy. While made everywhere in
the habitable globe, it Ik seldom made
properly. It was Introduced In Pari
by Judge John T. Mason of Virginia.
Ouly in Brunswick county Is tills stew
so appetizing, so piquant in the season
ing to be found In all Us perfection.
To this remark of the writer made to
a gentleman In the far south here
plies, "The egotism of a Virginian
suggests perfection in all things there,
and the slow pace of the state ample
time to arrive at It." The recipe is as
follows: One of three kinds of meat is
used—lamb, chicken or squirrel. If
chicken, it is first parboiled, cut up as
if to fry, the outer skin removed, then
put 011 in hot water—a-plenty to cover
It—a large onion cut fine, a large slice
of middling meat cut fine, black and
red pepper in abundance and salt.
After cooking until the bones can be
extracted, and hot water added if not
enough, corn cut off the cob and to
matoes chopped fine are added, with
half a pound of butter, more pepper
and salt. Before serving add stale
light breadcrumbs. Never add Irish
potatoes or butter beans or any vege
table save corn and tomatoes. Serve
In a tureen. It should be tne consist
ency of thick soup and very highly sea
soned. If is considered one of the
finest of stews and has a national
reputation.—Richmond Times.
"Americanism*."
"Fired out." commonly supposed to
be an "Americanism," has been traced
home to Shakespeare. In one of his
sonnets he says:
Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live In
doubt
Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
"Say," as an exclamation to attract
attention to the beginning of a remark,
is common enough and not very ele
gant. At least so thought a school
teacher who resolved to break his pu
pils of the habit of using it. A bright
one quoted, however, this from"The
Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say, can you see?
If the American people sing "say!"
In the national hymn, say, why not say
"Say?"
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
Good intentions rarely survive ths
headache that actuates them.
"When you talk about people be
hind their backs, do you give them a
square deal?
You have probably met the bore who,
no matter what the attraction, always
recalls a better one.
There Is this much to be said about
the men: Some very fine fish have
beeu caught by very inferior bait.
They say a man's disposition is sure
to come out when he's drunk, and it
is sure to come out also when he Is
buying—when he is spending his
money.

A QUEER OLD GUN.
The Way the Ancient Matchlock Wa*
Loaded and Fired.
Among the I'vms '.ow obsolete which
formed a part of the Infantry
equipment bi (he days when the army
was started was the pike, which was
In ilie form of a spear, with a flat and
pointed head, mounted ou a staff from
thirteen to eighteen feet long. The fire
arm in general use at the time was the
matchlock.
What would a sergeant major of the
present day, with his men tinned with
the magazine rifle, think of such a
weapon as this: "Attached to the lock
of this musket was a pan; also a cock,
the hammer of which was somewhat In
the form of a bird's, serpent's or dog's '
head. This head was spilt, aud a screw ,
compressed on eased the silts. The
piece being loaded first with powder
and then with ball, some powder was
poured into the pan. The pan was then
shut to keep this 'priming' from drop
ping out and to keep it dry. V'heu the
soldier wished to fire, he fastened his
burning match into the slit of the cock,
opened the pan, looked to his priming,
presented and pulled the trigger. The
match, falling Into the powder in the
pau, fired it.
"Between the pau and br»ech of the
barrel communication was established j
by means of a small hole. When the |
piece was being loaded the grains of j
powder were naturally rammed and I
shaken down close to this hole, and j
when priming the soldier too'c < are to ]
perfect the communication of ib • p-"»w- j

Thus the explosion in the pan caused
the ignition of the charge."—Londoj ,

Nesbit's Novel Bill.
A bill that will be appreciated not
ouly by owners of spirited horses but
by all persons who drive through the
country districts, and especially farm
ers, was introduced in the legislature
at tlarribsurg Thursday,by Reprcsent
4iito Hoabit .
rlie bill makes it unlawful to propel
traction engines along public high
ways in townships from November
15th to May loth and fixing a penalty
of S2O for violation. Frequently in
the spring these mammoth engines are
propelled along the country roads,
sinking deep iu the mire aud ruining
the roadway for the balance of the
summer. Mr. Nesbit takes this view
in presenting the bill.
You should be very careful of your
