Wm. R. Miller, Gen'l Manager RAISING THE STREETJROSSINGS Pursuant to action of council at its last meeting the Danville and Sun bury Street Railway company yester day put a force of men at work elevat ing the crossings on East Market street, which have not been in good condition since the street was dug up for the purpose of laying the trolley track. The objection seemed to be that the crossing stones, as relaid, were too low. When the street was muddy some of the crossings were barely pass able for pedestrians. At the last meeting of council it was ordered that the crossing stones at each of the streets intersecting East Market'street be raised a few inches. The only part of the street crossings for which the trolley company is re sponsible is the portion between the rails and for a foot on each side of the track. A good start at the work was made yesterday. East Market street is unquestionably one of the worst thoroughfares in Dan ville. The raising of the crossings will relieve conditions a little a 9 far as pedestrians are concerned, but ve hicles will still have a hard time of it. The large stones in the roadway are worn bare, there are ruts and al ternately during the year, deep mud and blinding dust. Nothing short of a general reconstruction of the thor oughfare will suffice to bring about anything like a proper street. During the year past there has been a constant protest against the condi tion of East Market street. Now that a new council is in charg« the pro ceedings of each meeting are closely scanned to see how council intends to wrestle with the problem. It is con sidered strange that the necessity of general repairs has not been discussed and there is solicitude lest our bor ough solons permit the season to pass without taking the matter up. Startling Discovery. Strong evidence has been found that the Black Hand or a kindred society not only exists at Shamokin but has that place as its headquarters and that an elaborate system is in use among its members whereby the law is set at defiance. There is every indication that the agents of the organization are station ed at Shamokin and that they keep in touch with branches of the system all over Northumberland and adjoining counties, warning the lawbreaker, guiding him to places of safety and effectually checkmating the officers of the law. Acting on information from Ohief of Police Gllham, of Shamokin, Ohief of Police Olayberger of Berwick, met two Shamokin Italians at the train in Berwick Monday,and went with them after two other Italians, who were ac cused of larceny and attempted mur der. The message the Italians took to Chief Olayberger also contained a warning that he should not attempt to arrest single handed and the State constabulary was enlisted in the cause. The boarding house was lo cated after considerable trouble and the State police and the chief went after the criminals only to find that they had been warned by a phone mes sage from Shamokin to flee in haste from the place. Some startling information was gained which may lead to the clearing up of many of the darx crimes that have stained the pages of Northum berland county history. As a result of the disclosures it was reported yesterday that the State police may soon enlarge its base of operations so as to include Shamokin and other districts. Drunkenness on Sunday. Sunday drunkenness, which for a long time was rare in Danville, on Sunday last broke out anew. Bloom street seemed to be a stamping ground for boozy individuals and at different times during the day that street was the soene of very unsigtly perform ances. The offending parties escaped arrest on Sunday but since then were caught in the police dragnet. Two of them were arrested yesterday afternoon by Constable W. E. Young on information lodged by Chief of Police Mincemoy er. The hearing took place before Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby. Each paid fine and costs amounting to five dollars. There are others who indulged in a Sunday drunk in another part of town who are likely to be arrested. Tax Collector Arrested. Ex-Tax Collector Thomas G. Counsel of Pottstown, has been arrested on the charge of having embezzled |1,891 of the borough's taxes while serving as oollector. COMMISSIONERS WILL CONTRIBUTE An inquiry yesterday revealed that the veterans of Goodrich Post No. 22, G. A. R., have not as yet decided up on any program for Memorial Day, which is only a little more than a mouth in the future. They have con sidered it wise to postpone action un til hearing from the county commis sioners in relation to the new law which authorizes them to make a con tribution to assist in defraying the ex- Dense of Memorial Day. At the regular mooting of the post Monday night, a committee was ap pointed to wait upon the county com missioners in order to determine what assistance the veterans might rely ou. After hearing the report at the next meeting the Post will immediately proceed to make arrangements for Memorial Day. A visit to the county commissioners' office by a representative of this paper brought out the fact that the commis sioners, acting upon the authority invested in them hy the new law will bear the expenses of Memorial Day, but will not contribute a larger sum than oue hundred dollars, which is regarded as the legal limit for one post. Of course this implies that there will have to be a demonstration, the commissioners paying the bills that accrue up to the limit above specified All doubt is now removed. Memor ial Day this year will be observed in a manner that will recall the most im pressive celebrations of the day that ever occurred in the past. The con tribution will procure not only a band of music, but will pay for an abund ance of vehicles of different sorts, needed to convey the veterans when the procession moves to the cemetery Thus the veterans of many battles, whose marching as well as fighting days are over, will be enabled to pay their annual tribute to the memory of their fallen comrades without endur ing the pains of fatigue or exposing themselves to the danger of illness by the long tramp. Thare will be no stinting anywhere. For the first time in many years the veterans will be in a position to have about what they want and it is safe to say that in planning a demonstration for Memor- ial Day they will act accordingly. Wants a Wife. The following interesting note has been appearing at intervals in several newspapers which have a wide circu lation throughout Northumberland and Snyder counties: WANTED—A good kind young wid ow or girl. lam lonely and want a good wife. I have a good home and much happiness for such a one. Write and let me tell you. All letters answ ered; correspondence confidential. Ad dress, X. Y. Z., Sunbury, Pa.. R. F. D. No. 4, Box 17. Although the anonymous suitor is willing to pay court to the feminine public at large without favor or dis tinction, vet certain maidens who I scanned the advertisement with more than passing curiosity were somewhat diffident about marrying a man of whom they kuew no more than that he wanted a wife aud signed himself "X. Y. Z " Upon quiet investigation they learn ed that box 17 was used by a confirmed bachelor who owns considerable prop erty and a fine house. But whether or not this man was the author of the re markable advertisement they were un able to determi-ne. And so, until more definite information is secured regard ing the strange suitor who will give equal consideration to all comers, re gardless of age, beauty, or station, it is hardly likely that "X. Y. Z." will be offered a helping hand to lead him to the altar from his state of distaste ful bachelorhood. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the case is the approval with which the methods of the unknown lover are received by the masculine element of Northumberland's rural districts. It is generally believed that,as marriage is a game of chance anyway and one is s apt to draw the first prize as the "booby," it makes little difference whether a wife is secured by regular Sunday evening calls or through the advertising columns of a local news paper. Others Can Do It. Scoff not the humble onion. In the light of the subjoined tale from the incomparable county of Berks, the beneficent bulb takes on new claim to respectful considera tion as a true friend of man One, Farmer Kauffmau, who tilled the fertile soil of Cumru township un til he was able to celebrate the silver anniversary of such labor,, has retir ed. Incidental to his relinquishment of the hoe he had a coffer which bul ges with silver. His mind is free from oare and his body strong. It is all due to the onion. Herr Kauffmau began by renting a small patch. He kuew nothing about farming. All he knew was that there was a demand for onions and lie set out fifteen rows and got up early to tend them. By and bye the demand for oDions grew and Kauffman enlarg ed the patch. Then he bought it for *IO,OOO. From onions grew a flourishing business in ttiat delectable line of food known as "garden sass," which was a source of exceeding profit to the farmer and of local pride to the neigh bors. Recently, Kauffman sold his patch and some appurtenances for the tidy sum of s2tf,oo0 —and still has a herd of twenty cows and a milk route that is wortli dollars. He declares he owes it all to the onions, to those fif teen rows which started him in life. Long live the onion! May its strength increase. Declared Election Void. In the contested election case from Upper Mahanoy township, Northum berland county, a red hot squable over the election of supervisors, Judge Auten on Monday took drastic mea sures to settle the matter by declaring the election void. The court will ap point new supervisors to serve until the next election. TRUANT OFFICER TAKES ACTION The first arrest of what promises to be a series of the same kind took place Monday eve, when Thomas Wray, of the second ward, was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Oglesby charged with failing to send his daughter to school the required seventy-five per cent, of the time she was enrolled as a pupil. The case was one of a type that is giving the school authorities a great deal of trouble at present. For one cause or other pupils are kept out of school until their attendance falls be low what is required by law. The want of clothing and trifling illness are frequently assigned as a cause for being absent when the truant officer, from a close study of the case, comes to the conclusion that indifference on the part of the parents has as much a-5 anything to do with it. He accord ingly then proceeds to swear out a warrant and cause arrest. In the case heard Monday eve the parent admitted the facts as charged. Justice Oglesby, however, was lenient and remitted the fine, leaving the de fendant only the costs to liquidate. The next offender, it is understood, will not get off so easily. The number of days that every pupil should have atteuded school at this stage of the term to comply with the law should not be less than 109 days. Those who fail to comply make them selves liable for the first offense to a fine of $2 ; for the second offense, to $5. The third offense is punished with imprisonment. For the first and sec ond offeuse failure to pay the penalty calls for a day's imprisonment fcr each dollar of fine imposed. A OARD .

Roosevelt is president and on the night of his election, 1904, he issued the statement that 113 would not be a candidate to succeed himself He meant just what he said. Apparently it doesn't take three years time to bring about a condition of affairs which puts all thinkers on the alert. Instead of the former straight political party li nes, there is today a jumble of elements in such a chaotic stage, as places it beyond pres ent comprehension. Every careful student, of the situa tion realizes that such men as Harri maii, Rockefeller, Belmont, etc., are decidedly against Roosevelt, boasting that they will spend millions to ruin him and bis policies. They are open ly now spending millions of dollars to keep the president from carrying out his railroad and other aggressive pol icies in the interest of the common Deople. On the other hand, the large majority of the people are with Roose velt.and without reserve express their opinion that he should consent to ac cept a nomination to succeed himself. This) expression and desire is not confined to the Republican party. Only several days ago at a Bryan ban quet in Chattanooga Tenn., John Temple Graves, one of the most prom inent Southern Democratic newspaper publishers, openly advocated that Bry an nominate Roosevelt as the next president. And Graves is not the on ly prominent Democrat who has ex pressed a similar desire. Bryan in turn implies that since the Democracy is without hope of electing a presi dent in 1908, and if his party must join hands with the Republicans the thing to do is to make Senator LaFol lette, of Wiconsin, the next president. But here conies another curious turn. In a recent address at Helena, Mont., Senator LaFollette said "President Roosevelt is entitled to another term, and the people are en titled to Roosevelt again." Thus the whole affair shift 3 itself around to the original point.. Graves wants Bryan to nominate Roosevelt, Bryan advocates La Follette and La Follette says we must have Roosevelt. To make a long story short, it would make no particular difference what particular political party would nominate Roosevelt, the people would see to it that he would be elected whether it be Republican, Democrat ic or Prohibition. Not since Wash ington has a president been so strong with the common people and so much hated by money kings as is Roosevelt today. When you need a pill, take a pill, and be sure it's an Early Riser.

WILL BREAK OP CORNER LOAFING Tlie practice of loafing on the cor ners and in the doorways on Mill street, which has become such a nuis ance Sunday nights bids fair to be broken up,if an example made of three offenders Monday has the proper ef fect. For a long time past the merchants and others have remonstrated against the state of affairs that exists on Mill street during nights. The crowds, with accompanying disorder that hang about the corners are bad enough any night of the week, but it is on Sunday nights that people have the greatest cause for complaint. At such times nearly every doorway is occupied by a group of ill-mannered and insolent young people, whose language it is hardly necessary to add, is unseemly in the extreme and who show little regard for people passing or those who own the buildings. Pede strians sometimes barely escape being 1 jostled off the pavement, while the doorways are soiled with tobacco spit and on Monday mornings are in a con dition not at all presentable for cus tomers. Last Sunday night afforded no ex ception. The crowds were as large as ever and, if anything, more insolent and defiant. Chief Mincemover suc ceeded in discovering a number of the worst offenders and yesterday swore out warrants for their arrest. Three of the warrants were served during the afternoon and others will be heard from a little later. The fellows arrested were arraigned before Justice Daltoii. The charge brought against them was "loafing and raisiug a disturbance." In each case a fine of two dollars was impos ed, which, together with the costs rau the bill up to five dollars. A LASTINQ EFFECT This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim Made tor Doan's Kidney Pills in Danyille. Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure a lame weak or aching back is what's want ed. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evid ence to prove it: Thomas Lewis, retired, of 615 Mill street, says:"l can only reiterate my former statement made in 1896 about Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me eight years ago and the cure made has been lasting and I have liad no return of my old trouble. Before using tlieni I was troubled with backache. I use everything recommended but got no relief. The lameness over the kidneys and the terrible acbing continued in spite of everything that I did and there seemed to be no relief for me. I learn ed about Doan's Kidney Pills and road the statements jnade by people who had used them and concluded to try them. They not only removed the lameness and backache but they bene fited my health in general. They also relieved the headaches to which I had been subject for a considerable length of time. I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reliable backache and kidney cure." J; or sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

REGISTRATION OF VITAL STATISTICS The extent of the work done by the bureau of statistics of the |department of health is seen by the records which show that during tlie year 1906 there were registered with this bureau, 173,- 84f! births, 123,042 deaths, 87,757 cases of communicable disease. These certificates have beeu collect ed, registered,indexed,filed and tabul ated at a cost slightly less than four cents each, including all salaries,post age and necessary incidentals. In ad dition to the expense borne by the State, the cost to tlie several counties has beeu practically the same as they heretofore paid under the act of 1893. Under the present system of regis tration the vital statistics of Pennsyl vania for the first time in its history have been officially recognized by the federal government and will be includ ed in the annual report of the United States census office for 190(5, now in preparation. This recognition in itself affords the best possible evidence as to the value and efficiency of the present registration lasv, coming as it does during the very first year of its opera tion and standing against fifty-five years of futile effort on the part ot the State to accomplish this result. Colo rado has just passed a registration law modeled after that of Pennsylvania. The personal, legal and sanitary value of vital statistics has probably never beeu more exhaustively set forth than it was in the preamble of the law enacted by the Pennsylvania legislat ure iu 1851, which recites as follows: "Whereas, From the death of wit nesses and from other causes it has often been found difficult to prove the marriage, biith or deatli of persons, whereby the rights of many have been sacrificed an 1 great wrongs have been done: and "Whereas, Important truths deeply affecting tlie physical welfare of mau kiud are to be drawn from the number of marriages, births or deaths that dur ing a term of years nifty be contracted or may appear within the limits of any extensive commonwealth." Forty-six years later, in 1897, the then governor of this State in his message to the legislature,recognizing the failure of the laws theu upon the statute books in relation to the collec tion of vital statistics, wrote as fol lows : "The need of a suitable system of registration of vital statistics is also being constantly brought to the atten tion of the health authorities. In an enlightened community there live but few people of the marriage age whose birth, marriage or death does not at some time become a matter for the cognizance and consideration of the legal authorities. The attainment of majority with its rights and duties, the fact and fate of wedlock, the in heritance or conveyance of property, parentage and nationality, place, date and cause of death and iutermeut and many other questions of a sociological, economic,sanitary and even historical character often assume much import ance with reference to many of our citizens. In the absence of a State sys tem of registration many of our citi zens are deprived of their legal rights or are enabled to deprive their fel lows of their legal rights. " The figures above quoted concerning the work of the bureau of statistics of 1906 represent absolutely the first suc cessful attempt on the part of Penn , sylvania to gather au intelligent man ner the facts relating to its people which over half a century before it had declared to be a most pressing necessity. These figures also form the first intelligent basis upon which any ! sanitary administration for this entire I State must rest; for wherever vital ; statistics are wanting sanitary admin j istration must be defective,and where they are complete sanitary administra tion will be efficient. Rest is the great restorer. We tire our ■ muscles by exercise and then rest to restore them ; yet a great many of us I do not stop to think how little rest we j give to our stomachs. Asa usual thiug ! no part of our bodies is so generally overworked as our digestive organs.

Rogers on Satur day stated that during the present week he expects to put men to work on the Mill street paving, cutting out tlie defective brick and inserting the sound ones that have beeu deposited along the street. Mr. Rogers says that he will not be gin work on his contract for the rec( n struction of North Mill street uutil the curbing is set along the portion to be paved, work on which has uot as yet been begun. From this it would seem likely that ground may not be broken for the new pavement before the fiist of May. if then. Meanwhile Mr. Rogers is working on his contract iu Shamokin, which embraces the putting down of a new pavement on one of the priucipal streets. The fine weather in Marcli en abled him to make an early start and he has already put iu three weeks en the new paving. He has still oue half of a mile of pavement to lav before his work will be completed iu Shamokin. Speakiug on the subject of help Mr. Rogers says that but few native Am ericans seem available for such work as he has on baud. On the Shamokin contract he has thirty-four men em ployed, all with the exception of a very few,being Italians. Whether he will succeed in obtaining American workmen or will have to fall back on Italians when he enters upon his con tract iu Danville remains to be seen. An Insidious Dan^r.

The latest development in the mur der of the Italian,Nestico, at Shamok in, is that there is a well concealed plan to protect and conceal the murd erer. At the hearing given Tony Powell, who was arrested down iu the Burn side mine, a 9 a suspect, it was claim ed by his witnesses that he was at home at nine o'clock, whila it is known that he was in a saloon after ten o'clock. Adam Reilard, who keeps a saloon on Liberty street, where the It alians visit daily, stated that Powell left his saloon on the night of the murder about eleven o'olock, but this is contradicted by Charles Gellalli, with whom Powell boards, along with ten or twelve other Italians. Gellalli and his Italian boarders testified that Powell was at his boarding tiouse at uiue o'clock and remained there the balance of the night. When each It alian wad examined separately there was not one, when shown a watch, who was able to tell time. There is not the least doubt but what these Italians know who murdered Nestico audit is believed that Gellalli, their boarding boss, has instructed them just what to say and they are acting accordingly in order to save the murd erer. There was not enough evidence to hold Powell, but several of the Ital ians will be put through the sweating dergee and it is expected that there will be some important developments that will lead to the arrest of the guilty party.

Suter, of Sunuyside farm whose t iitei prise aud sound practical ideas -laud as a guarantee that thero is nitiing iu the agitation that savors of hit air but that those who show any interest in the matter mean business Iu conversation with a repriseuti tive of this paper Saturday Mr. : uter said that the question of feasibility and profit cease to be discussed auv longer in counectiou with the p. <»jioai tion. It lias been well estabi shed that the proceeds rctlizesl fvn » tin curbstone market by the would pay handsomely on such an in vestment as ruiglit be r> qu : reil to ';u Id a market house that wruid ui*et all requirem9uts. Investors are un lack ing and all that is required is to actu ally take hold cf the work. One of the first tilings to determine, Mr. Suter says, is how tlie borough council stands iu regard to the prop osition—whether it would revea! auv antagouism to an abolishment of the curbstone market or whether it would encourage aud aid iu ways which might become expedient the building of a market hou-e. This is regarded as a very important cousiderition. If left to the faruier-i or tiie towns people Mr. Suter states that there is no question as to the verdict. The necessity or disposing of a load of pro duce out of doors, regardless of the decree of cold or of rain or snow, adds materially to hardships of a farmer's life, while the experiences of towns people in making their purchases un der like conditions is only a little less tryiug and bitter. Another voice in favor of abolishing the curbstone mark et would come from a majority of the Mill street merchants, who are dread fully annoyed by the congestion ou the street, the soiled sidewalk and the unavoidable accumulation of dirt and refuse left outside the curb each mark- ; et day. The building of a market house,such j as in view, while affording the farm ers all the comforts implied by such a structure, would not entail upon the latter any additional outlay in the way of fees or rental. In this connec tion it might be proper to state that the farmers pay pretty dearly for the privilege of standing in the curbstone market —that their entire outlay is not embraced in the fee collected by the market master, but that the amount they pay for the removal and care of their benches alone forms an item that cuts pretty deeply into their profits during the course of a vear. Oao ven dor alone who maintains two benches pays $1.50 per month to the man who is responsible for their care au.l keep ing of course, would be a fixed appurtenance in a market house and would not have to be reckoned with as an item of extra expense. Close inquiry revealed the fact that those projecting a market house have no desire to sell to wholesale dealers or to bring about any other innovation. For that reason the projectors would like to see the borough of Danville identified with the proposition,so that the market as at present could be regu lated by ordinance. One of the first objects of the agitation is to see what the borough is willing to do It is true, the whole thing is still in embryo. But the object is to come to some understanding with the bor ough and, unless the project is wholly discouraged, to get to work immedi ately so that a market house may be an accomplished fact by next winter.

WASTEFULNESS In nu article on the increased cost of living in this country, the Chester Moruing Republican says: "If the price of provisions should continue to grow higher for a few years longer, then the oulv way we can see to get out of our troubles will be to migrate to Japan. It is said the cost of living for a family in Japan is only about $250 per annum. On that sum a pro fessional man can live very comfortab ly over there." In the same article the Republican says: "There is no waste of food, every crumb being eat en. " If Americans were to observe this rule the cost of living would be materially ieduced, for we are notor ious for our wastefulness.
