Acts of violence are numerous nu«l the rioters are growing iu daring. Pennsylvania is doing no monument building this year. According to a new law male pris oners confined in countv jails may be employed on county roads or highways And a very excellent law it is. Ideas are more powerful than ma terial weapon of offense. There is still considerable hysteria in the land and it isn't all confined to the feminine sex either. The large increase in the school ap propriation ought to bear fruit in bet ter schools. During the last two mouths seven postoflice robberies have occurred in the vicinity of Bridgeport, Conn., the robbers securing about SII,OOO. The woman who knows how to all ium to ine members of her family by well-cooked food and well-baked bread has them well in hand. Colonel Henry Watterson continues to keep carefully under cover that 'dark horse" he has selected for the democratic presidential nomination. The aboslute purity of milk is pro vided for by State legislation and the law should be rigidly enforced. The scientific study of food products is only in its infancy, but it has a great future before it. The unselfish workers for the world's good were never more numerous tnan they are at the present moment. The retail merchant who will take the pains to comply with the new law will find himself amply protected. The right sort of recreation is al ways re-creation. it is not exactly true that the hu man face is a revelation of character. Something more than assurrance is accessary to permanent success. Those who are most abstemious in the matter of cold drinks will prob ably have the best behaved stomachs at the end of the heated term. Scranton will soon perceive that she made a colossal blunder by voting down that poposed loan for street im provement. The movement on behalf of better steel rails for the railroads has assum ed proportions that will probably work a cure in the immediate future. Former President Cleveland has cer tainly been a very sick man, but en couraging reports now come from his home. The average citizen watches with more or less interest the experiment of those who are trying to conquer the air. Suicide is the last refuge of the ar rant coward. Common sense is a rather uncommon possession. Southern Methodists have purchased a tract of land in Washington and pro pose to erect thereon a fine structure which they hope to see grow into a veritable national church. The electric storm has begun already to get in its deadly work. Patriotic living is a fair and consist ent supplement to patriotic profes sions. The premonitory signals of the usual foolish Fonrth are heard in the land. How many nice boys are going to die this year because of Fourth of July folly? The good people who hold open air religious services have the courage of their convictions. There is an impression abroad that the 'outdoor" relief idea is encourag ed by some of its beneficiaries. There would be a good deal of human nature in that, Information from Ohio is to the ef fect that thOße who set out to elimin ate Senator Foraker from the politics of that State have undertaken a con tract they cannot complete. The backbone of winter is evidently broken at last. The announcmant is made that the army of men known as railway clerks will sonn ask for a general increase in wages. Joseph Chamberlain, who has been seriously ill for many months, travel ed from Birmingham to London on Tuesday. True Religion is the most radiant and striking figure the world has ever seen. in sewn IBS ELECTED The annual election of teachers foi the Danville school district took place Monday night. Rather more than the us ual degree of interest attached to the meeting by reason of the two vac ancies in the corps of teachers wlncli were known to exist along with sever al others which, it was rumored, were pretty snre to occur. Dr. Harpel of the committee on teachers and certificates presented r report, nominating teachers and janit ors for the various grades,setting fortli the advances in salary as they occur red. The report recommended that thf fourth ward grammar school and the Welsh hill school be closed. It was ex plained that the number of pupils at teuding the Welsh hill school has dwindled to less than twenty-five and that this number could be easily ac commodated at the fourth ward schools The proposition to close the Welsl hill school met with opposition,Messri Fischer, Ortli and Heiss going on rec ord against it. On motion of Mr. Orth it was order ed that the recommendation of the committee as related to the closing oi the Welsh hill school be not accepted The proposition to close the fourtl ward grammar school also met witl opposition.

JUNE 27, 1907 PHIS it BE PVHOII Of the large number of laws enacted by the last legislature there are few to which more interest attaches thai the one approved by Governor Stuart ou May 25th, authorising the employ ment of male prisoners on the public highways. There is something espec ially suggestive in this law to the peo pie of our county, where contractor! are handicapped in important roar improvements for want of men while some half a dozen able-bodied prison< ers, who would probably rather work, are "doing time" in idleness in the county jail. Up to date, however, there has beei nothing to indicate that the counts commissioners contemplate taking ad vantage of the provisions of the nev act and putting the prisoners to work Meanwhile it might be a pretty good thing if all our citizens would farnil inrize themselves with the provision! of the act. Briefly it sets forth as follows: That for the better employment oi the prisoners and improvement of till highways of this Commonwealth fron and after the passage of the act i j shall and may be lawful to require every able bodied male prisoner con fined under sentence in any jail o: i workhouse to do and perform eigh hours of manual labor eacli day o j such imprisonment except Sunday o legal holidays. The labor to be done or performer shall be classified, fixed and establish ed by the prison boards, which by thi j act are created in the several countiei I of the Commonwealth. That the shejiff and county commis '■ sioners of the several counties shal ! compose the prison board for employ ment of prisoners. The prison boards so constituted shal have full power and authority to com pel the said male prisoners to work or the public highways: Provided, thai preference shall be given to the mak ing of new and the maintenance and rej»ir of the main public roads. The respective prison boards shal! have power and authority to employ such deputies or other guards or offlc ers as shall be necessary for the sup rr»i«on, t-afe keeping and good con duct of the said prisoners: Provided, that the compensation of such addi tional deputies shall not exceed tw< dollars per day to be paid out of the treasury of the proper connty. If any prisoner while employed out side of jail or workhouse shall make his escape or attempt to escape, he shall be subject to like penalties af are now provided by law for escape 01 breach of prison. Death of Mrs. Benj. Karndt. Jr. Mrs. Benjamin Bamdt, Jr., (nee Miss Helen Maude Freeze) departed this life at it:4s o'clock Saturday nigh! after a week's illness. Few sadder deaths have ever occur red in this city. Thefdeceased was a young woman of exceptionally lovely character. « On the 19th of Septembei last she was married. She was twenty five years of age. Before her was all 1 that was worth living for; she had the love and devotion of a dutiful hus band and the esteem and affection of a wide circle of friends. The deceased was the adopted daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Mey ers, Walnut street, at whose home she died. She is survived by her husband, her mother. Mrs. Oliver Johnson, this city; and a brother, Frank Freeze, of Philadelphia. She was a member of Pine Street Lutheran church and be longed to the choir. Revisiting Danville. G. M. Richart, formerly editor of the Pit-tston Gazette, and an old time resident of Danville, who for the past twenty-four years has resided in Flcrida, is visiting at the home of his sister, Mrs Harriet Wallize and the family of his niece, Mrs. I. A. Pers ing, of Centre street. Mr. Richart states that he finds but few persons re maining in Danville, who were here from 1840 to 1850, the term of his resi dence in this city. Sills for Africa Today. Yesterday morning the Rev. Chaileß Brosius, formerly pastor of Grace Lutheran church of Sunbury, left that plaoe for New York from whence he sails today for Liberia, Africa. On his arrival there he will take up missionary work among the natives, possibly at a new field which has just been established in the interior, j The field to which Rev. Brosius goes is considered the hardest and most dangerous of all mission fields. This is due largely to the locality, which being right near the equator, makes the climate very dangerous to foreign ers. Canadian statistics show that the fisheries of the Dominion are steadily dwindling in spite of the efforts of the government to prevent an undesirable result. IMIIKI 10 BE ML During the next two weeks the con gregation of the Grove Presbyterian church will enter upon a thorough ren ovation of that attractive house of worship, giving the building a prac tically new interior. The contract for the decorations of the auditorium lias been awarded to Fred M. Bottcher, decorative painter, of Elmira, N. Y.. who served an ap prenticeship under, and for ten years was employed by, H. P. Danelstein, of New York, one of the leading dec orators of the country, whose con tracts during recent years have em braced the decorations at the White house at Washington. D. C. The design for the dcorations at the Grove church have been furnished by Dapelstein. Tin 1 color scheme em ployed will be "creams" and "browns" ill silk effect. The decorators will begin work on July Bth, Mr. Bottcher being present to oversee the work. The sabbath school room will be completed first. lucluded in the improvements will he new cushions for the pews, new carpet and a new system of lighting. The cushions, which will be provided for the entire building, will be Oster moor cushions, which are regarded as the best kind in use. The new car pet will be a body Brussels and will cover nil the floors. In lighting the building, gas, which has done service for'many years, will be replaced by ! electric light.. Introduction of the | latter will necessitate the installation of a large and ornamental chandelier, which will occupy the center of the auditorium. Altogether the improve ments will bring about a wonderful change in the interior of the church, so that in point of beauty as well as comfort and commodiousness the aud- J itoriuin will be second to none of any , church in this section. James F. Dougherty Laid to Rest. James P. Dougherty, whose death occurred last Wednesday, was cousign ;ed to the grave in St. Joseph's ceme tery on Saturday morning.

The defense on appealing the j case asked Judge Evans to make the appeal a supersedeas, which he refus ed to do. The application was next ; made to the supreme court with the ' result above noted.

BITTEN MII BE DOC ' Beware of the dog at this season ! wliile mercury is doing stunts among j the nineties. Whatever his general reputation for amiability may be, at this particular season the dog is not jto be trusted. Panting with the beat ] he wears a fatigued and worried look 1 and has no patience even with a well j meaning caress,which at other seasons ! he might welcome with a friendly | wag of the tail. Take 110 liberties I with the dog just now but on the con j trary give him a wide berth. | There are several persons in Dan -1 ville who will endorse these senti ments, among them being Richard Hopewell of Sidler's hill. Richard was ; passing along the street in that part of town on Tuesday evening whan he was pounced on by a big dog belong ing to a nearby resident, which sank his teeth into the man's thigh,lacerat | ing the flesh and tearing a large piece out of the trousers and underclotliiug. Dr. Newbaker cauterized the wound. With the advent of warm weather the newspapers are filled with mad dog stories and accounts of chilren that have been bitten by unmuzzled dogs, which are permitted to roam the streets. Whether the dog be mad or nor. the bite, which is painful enough in itself, is apt to be the cause of no end of dread and anxiety to the person attacked. Therefore,as enjoined above give all dogs a wide berth. Let coun cil at the same time take some action that will reduce the number of worth less and ill natured dogs on the streets and insure at least a modicum of pro tection to the citizens. Sad Death of a Young Girl. Miss Mamie Bertha Ashton, daught er of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ashton, died Friday morning at the home of her parents, corner of Honeymoon and Grand streets, after an illness of three months.

The proceedings were vol uminous, the regular meeting being followed with an executive session. ! The secretary reported that only one bid had been received for making a i borough map. This was from O. H. Ostrauder, of Riverside. His price was |!125. No one disputed that au I elaborate modern map would be worth | the figure named in the proposal.

I which on motion was accepted by council as the established grade. I On motion of Mr. Finnigan it was ordered that five hundred copies of the "release" be printed relating to the j removal of the dead from the old ceme ; tery that was adopted at the previous \ meeting. In this connection it was reported that excellent progress is be j ing made in the preliminaries relating to the abolishment of the old eeme i tery. Several families have already J removed their dead ; others intend to | do so, while still others have express |ed their willingness that the tomb- I stones over graves in which they are interested be laid Hat over the graves and the spot filled up to conform with the adopted grade. ; On motion of Mr. Angle it was ord i ered that a sewer be laid in the alley between Cherry and Vine streets. On motion of Mr. Jacobs the secre tary was requested to notify property owners on Cherry, Vine and Ash streets to trim the trees belonging to their properties in order that the dis tribution of light on that thoroughfare may not be interfered with. On motion of Mr. Everhart it was ordered that the request made at tiie j previous meeting be refused which I asked that the arc light on Railroad street be removed to a new position j and that the property owners on that i street be requested to trim the trees. On motion of Mr. Russell it was ; ordered that S. F. Ricketts be notified to make connection with the sewer. On motion of Mr. Jacobs it was ord ■ ered that the fire companies of the borough be notified to be careful that the lights are extinguished in the fire houses when they leave the buildings at night. He cited an instance in which the light was kept burning in i definitely in the hose iiouse. Mr. Angle reported that the old and disused hand engine belonging to the borougli had been sold. Some fifty two dollars was realized by the sale. During the session of coancil an additional bid for making a borougli map was received from William Kase West, Esq. Mr. West's figure was {!,- 500.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 11 OF FRED MILLS DQVB The body of Fred Mills, who was drowned in the Susquehauna Thurs day, was recovered near Cameron late Saturday afternoon. The story of the painstaking,though fruitless search prosecuted in the vie iuity of 'lie spot where the drosvuing occurred, was told in these columns I Saturday morning. There was no dis- I position to abandon search for the ; body and on Saturday arrangements were being made to enter upon the 112 work with a larger force of meu pro | ceeding along entirely new lines, when J the news reached town that, the body | had been found. About 5 o'clock Saturday evening a i colored man named Wesley Barton, in \ the employ of Mrs. Mary Greenough j Stevenson, of Cameron,rode into town l on horseback and proceeding to the office of Just ipe-of-the-Peace W. V. ! Oglesby reported that he had found ! tin' body of a boy which answered the | description given of Fred Mills. The body,however, was recovered in North umberland county, and acting on the , advice of Justice Oglesby the man pro ceeded to the south side, in Northum ; berland county, and reported the mat- I ter to Justice-of-the-Peace E. W. Young. Before leaving town, he was inter viewed by a representative of the News. Barton said immediately after the shower, which occurred about 4 o'clock he went down to the river to bail the water out of a boat preparat | ory to putting it to use. While engag ed in this work his attention was at j tracted by an object floating in the 1 water about sixty feet from shore and ' which upon closer examination proved I to be the body of a boy. The body was ■ floating on the surface with the face | protruding above the water. To say that the man was startled is putting it mildly. He knew that a j boy had drowned up the river and | that the body had not been recovered. ! Not doubting for a moment that it was Mr. Mills' boy he quickly sum ! moned help and brought the body to ; shore, after which, while others kept J watch, he hurried to town with the news that the body had been recover- J ed. Justice of the Peace Young learn ing of the affair quickly called up I Coroner Dreher of Shamckin. who, ; pending his arrival here to make the ! necessary investigation gave the just ice permission to remove the body. Undertaker George W. Roat drove down to Cameron and brought the body up to his undertaking establish ment, where it remained during yes | terday. Yesterday morning Coroner ! Dreher arrived and after making an investigation concluded that an in- I quest was not necessary. | The body had been in the water for | over forty-eight hours and decomposi j tioa had advanced pretty far, never- J theless identification was easily made. I The sad drowning in itself was au j awful blow to the parents. This to ! getlier with the suspense and anxiety attending the long and fruitless search for the body had a telling effect upon them and by Saturday night both were j nearly prostrated. The finding of the I body brought great relief, not only to J the grief-stricken parents, but also to j the entire community, where all hearts ' were keenly touched bv the sad event. Funeral of Fred Mills. The body of Fred Mills, the victim of drowning, was consigned to its last resting place in Mt. Vernon cemetery j Monday forenoon. The funeral took I place from thejresidence of the parents, | Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mills, River j side, at 10 o'clock and was very large i ly attended. The services were conducted by the | Rev. John Conley Grimes, pastor of i St. Peter's M. E. church. The pall | bearers were four boys, a trifle older than the deceased, as follows: Elliott Bird, James Shultz, Daniel Farley and ! George Arms. The flowers formed a beautiful and touching tribute.entirely covering the grave. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Mrs. Charles Fowler and son Howard, of Shenandoah ; Mrs. Nettie Fowler and son Howard of Hazleton ; Miss Marg aret Fowler, of Philadelphia; Miss Eva, Fred and Clarence Lenhart, of Berwick; Mr. and Mrs. Boyd Fowler and daughter Sara, of Harrisburg. A Tip for June Brides. In order to escape the showers of rice which were promised them a newly wedded couple at Allentown on Tuesday night, climbed to the roof of the housrf in which the ceremony took place and made a more or less perilous trip over the roofs to the house of a friend, with whom arrangements bud previously been made, and whf>- i carriage was awaiting them. T• v thus escaped the torments which •' • r friends \yould have inflicted ip. u them.
