Publish The Laws.
There are many acts of assembly up
on the statute boobs in Pennsylvania,
so many that even the best educated
citizens have been unable to keep track
of the laws which they and others are
expected to refrain from violating.
How are the people to know when they
are violating a law when they are
ignoraut of the existence of the parti
cular law against which they innoc
ently transgress? The laws passed by
the legislature ought to be printed in
the newspapers in order that the peo
ple may know what is expected of
tliem.
With the legislature constantly j
grinding out new laws and no provis
ion being made for the publication of
these laws the common people are left
to discover after they have been ar
rested that what they considered an
innocent aud harmless act ou their
part is a violation of law which is
likely to land them iu jail. The state
should publish the laws aud give the
people an opportunity to learn just
what is legal and what is illegal, a
problem which has puzzled almost ev- j
erybody but the lawyers for many 1
years.
It is no indication of iguorance not
to know what laws are ou the statute
books in this State.
Encouraging Crop Reports.
From all sections'come encouraging
reports of improvement iu the crops.
The prospect for the Northwest, it is
said, looks 25 per cent, better than it
did two weeks ago. The fore part of
June,the men who handle the world's
bread basket at Minneapolis, at the 1
biggest wheat market in the world,
predicted an enormous shrinkage of
the wheat acreage in Minnesota, North
and South Dakota because of rain and
frosts. Now every wire received from
the outposts in the grain fields is a
message of encouragement. The wheat
is as healthy as last year, while the
acreage is not over five per cent. less.
The cold Spring forced the young
plants to grow downward, and now
have a deep healthy root capable of
supporting extraordinary rapid growth
under the present favorable conditions.
Oats is a good crop No better condi
tions for corn could be asked,aud with
a late Fall, and no frosts, until the
corn matures, the promise is for a rec
ord breaking crop. While winter
wheat will be short 100,000,000 bus
hels, the Spring wheat is doing well,
and with com will make up the defici
ency in the Winter cereal.
Bright sunshine rules the whole
country. Iu addition to its tonic influ
ence on human beings it is causing
rapid growth of wheat, c.orn, cotton
and everything that lias been retarded
of (Sales;a'oorn crop of more
than 3,000,000,000 bushels,and a wheat
crop equal to the actual demand for
home consumption, will bo supple
mented by au enormous crop of oats
and other things that will make the
general average probably as high as
last year's tonnage, while the prices,
owing to the world-wide prevalence
of bad weather, will be better.
Large Tents for Consumptives.
State Health Commissioner Dixon,
iu his desire to accommodate many ap
plicants for treatment at the sanitar
iums to be established by the State,
has ordered twenty-five large tents to
be placed iu the woods at the sanitar
ium at Mont Alto.aiul as soon as these
are iu place they will be used for the
rare of patients.
There are two more sanitarium sites
to be selected, and offers of grouud
have been made from various parts of
the State, but it is not the intention
to purchase laud, as some of the for
estry reserve of the State will be used
as locations for the sanitariums. It is
said that one may be located iu Potter
county, where the State has a great
deal of land, aud one iu the north
west. The one at Mont Alto represents
the southern district.
Fireworks Cause Accident.
A spectacular accident,in which two
horses and au ice wagon figured, oc
curred at the corner of Spruce and
Ferry streets,yesterday as a result of a
premature celebration of the Fourth
of July.
A. ti. Delcamp was making his us
ual round delivering ice and had just
arrived at the point above named with
a well-filled wagon. The discharging
of fire works was pretty general about
that locality and the horses were very
restive. While an assistant was de
livering ice to a residence Mr. Del
camp remained in charge of the feani.
He had the horses well under control,
when some one unthinkingly threw a
large torpedo right in front of the
horses. It exploded with a loud re
port, which caused the team to spring
backward running the loaded ice wag
on into a deep gutter in front of Buck
halter's store, where it overturned.
As the wagon went over the weight of
the load raised the horses bodily into
the air. Fortunately they came down \
on their feet.
There was quite a mixup for a few |
minutes until the team was unhitch
ed. The ice was reloaded on another j
wagon and after much difficulty the j
ice wagon was placed right side up.
The tongue of the wagon was broken j
and the top was badly battered. The |
horses were not injured.
A herd of valuable covs on the J. |
J. Shanor farm, north of Butler, was
fed an arsenic compound by some un- !
known fiend and four of the cows have
died.
WEIGHING MAILS
BIG PROPOSITION
Tlitf weighing of mails began at the
local post office yesterday aud will
continue till December 31st for the
purpose of basing the compensation of
the railroads for the carrying of the
same for the next three years. It will
be the most complicated aud exhaustive
that his yet been attempted. The
act of Mw h 2, litlT. requires the
postuin-ter general to have kept a sepa
rate record of the weights of all
clas*"i of mail matter carried, respec
tive!.\ of first class,second class, free,
pa'd-it-pound rate and transient, third
and fourth class matter and all frank
ed aud penalty matter and the equip
ment carried iu conuectiou with the
same, even down to the weight of the
locks used on the pouches. During
thirty days of this period there will j
he kept a record of each of the above
class ill such a manner as to show des
tinations, with a view tr» obtaining
the average haul of the respective j
classes on a pound unit basis. For :
seven days of the period there will he
kept a record of the revenue derived
from the respective classes, together
with the number of pieces dispatched, j
This will necessitate a separate ac
count of postnl cards, letters and oth
er first class matter, in addition to the j
subclass as shown above. This will be i
about one of the biggest propositions
ever handed to postmasters, and when ;
one considers the millions of pieces of
mail handled daily it will be hard to j
realize how this work can be thorough- j
ly systemized and accomplished.
Farmers Dare Not Use Water.
The following official statement is
from James Foust. of Harrisburg. the
new State Pure Food Commissioner,
with reference to the manufacture of
' vinegar by farmers:
i"The provisions of the law are
; plain. Under it the farmer can safe
ly prepare and sell vinegar made from
apple juice in which neither water or
! other foreign substances, drntrs or
acids of any kind have been introduc
ed. The law does not require auv per
centage of acetic acid in vinegar thus
; made; it only prohibits the use of
i water or other foreign substances,
drugs or acids, and requires that the
; same when sold shall be branded
I "fermented vinegar made from pure
apple juice." If made and labeled in
this way the farmer has a perfect
■ right to sell it to the trade and the
1 jobber or merchants offeriug such pro
duct for sale can do so with safety.
"This statement is made for the in
formation and benefit of farmers de
siring to manufacture vinegar from
! the fruit raised upon their farms."
The Tramp Nuisance.
It is said that an overwhelming maj
ority of the tramps who now infest
thymus. B R
' the general prosperity which has bless
;ed the country for the last ten or
twelve years has iu no wise diminish
ed the number of these chronic wan
' derers. It seems evident that if the
: evil is to be cured some new methods
| are needed. An evil which has beeii
I increasing iu virulence with the pass
ing of the year is evidently immune,
i so far as any existing remedy is con
cerned
1 The tramp is not the result of ad
| ver«e conditions. He is a wanderer
because he prefers that sort of a life.
T e came to tiie conclusion quite early
j in life that he had no partiality for
ha*d work. Consequently the condi
tion of the labor market has nothing
whatever to do with his existence. He
doas not want *o work; would not
work, except under compulsion: is a
tramp for the reason that he regards
; that kind of a life 'lie idea! one, and
| would bitterly resent any system
1 which would take him off the road ex-
I cept during the severe weather of the
j winter months, when he is willing to
j take refuge in the county jail or the
1 couutv home.
The tramp evil is one that may be
cured,or much restricted,in eacli state
; bv appropriate legislation,but like the
divorce crime it will never he under
| complete control until the several
J states can be persuaded to pass uniform
laws. If a certain state adopts drastic
: legislation the ouly result is the over
flow of that state's quota of the tramp
j population into an adjoining state
' which has less stringent laws. How
ever, as it promises to be a long time
i before uniform legislation comes into
j vogue, it behooves each state to do
whal it can to minify the evil. And
in the preparation of restrictive and
preventive legislation the chief thing
to be sought, of course, should be the
good of the tramp.
The legislature at its next session
would provide a detention camp in
which these "undesirable citizens" of
the world could be detained and
taught the desirableness of industry
and the exhilaration which comes to
the man who earns his own living by
the sweat of his brow, it wouldn't be
long until the state would have no
tramps. They would either develop
into industrious citizens or they would
avoid the state as they would the
plague.
Found True Bill.
The Grand Jury in the case of L>. S.
Swallow vs. Charles Emory Smith, of
the Philadelphia Press, found a true
bill. There are two indictments and
five counts on the general charge of
malicious libel and defamation of
character. They grew out of last fall's
campaign in which Dr. Swallow was
much opposed to the election of Lewis
Emory, Jr., and Mr. Smith as warm- ;
ly advocated his election.
CABS WILL LOOK
LIKE RACING YACHTS
An extremely interesting innovation
iu railway passenger transportation in
this country will be inaugurated next
month, when, it is announced, the
Uuion Pacific railroad will place in
service twelve xasoliue rail-motor cars.
The cars are iureuded for branch-line
traffic, where the fast aud frequent
service required cauuot be maintained
bv ordinary trains, except at a loss.
The latest type of these cars develop
ed at the Omaha shops of the Union
Pacific makes 60 miles an hour with a
•,'OO horsepower eugiue, reaches high
speed within six car leuglits, aud can
be stopped within 120 feet. With these
advantages the cars can be put ou a
much faster schedule than is possible
with the steam locomotive.
Outwardly the newest of cars, which
are built entirely of steel, resemble a
turned over racing yacht The forward
eud tapers sharply, aud the roof aud
rear are rouuded off to reduce air re
sistance and avoid the vacuum pro
< uced by a square car. Rounded win
dows give the passengers a wide range
of outlook, and increase the nautical
appearance of the car.
Iu cold weather the cars are to be
heated by hot water from the cylinder
jacket. They are lighted by acetylene
gas.shining through opalescent panels.
For sanitary reasons the floors of
the cars are built so that they can be
thoroughly cleaned by flushing with
hot water. The familiar system of
ventilation has been replaced by roof
ventilators which exhaust the inside
air'bv suction, fresh air being taken
in from the ctr roof in front.. Vibra
tion is reduced to a minimum by the
way iu which tlvi motive power is
balanced
The cost of operating the cars viries
from tm to twenty cents a mile, ac
cording to the leusitv of traffic, but
the records kept prove beyond doubt
that the rail-motor will make possible
great improvements in handling
branch line passenger faftte.
Wagon With Two Fifth Wheels.
Through his attorney, J. M. Gilles
pie, 11. E. Kline of No. 147 South
street, Shomokiu, has been granted let
ters patent under date of June 25th,
for an invention that bids fair to rev
olutionize the construction of mod em
vehicles.
The invention is a new running gear
for road vehicles of all kinds. Mr.
Kli" who is a carpenter by trade,
couce. ved the idea last September and
| since that time he has worked it out,
with the result that success is now as
sured.
The idea is to have a fifth wheel ov
er both rear aud front axles,extending
to spring frame. These are connected
by cross rods, which extend to both
the front, and rear working parts.
With the wheels as large as the wag
| ou box, it is possible to bai k to the
same.
Harry Ever Had Premonition,
Harry Eyer, who was killed iu the
wreck of the Buffalo Flyer at Snnbury
Tuesday afternoon, was born at Light
Street forty years ago. The body was
taken to Bloomsburg yesterday aud
will be buried at that place this after
noon.
A strange circumstance of the affair
is that the deceased had a premonition
of death as was evidenced by the tact
that while visiting Mr. and Mrs L.
N. Moyer, in Bloomsburg last week
lie made the remark that should he
meet with ail accident at any time his
body should be brought there for bur
ial.
The death of Harry Eyer, has also
brought to light some strange features
connected with the visit east of A. S.
Ayhurst, of Luke City., Neb. Mr. Av
hurst, came east about ten clays ago to
attend the funeral of a cousin at Cata
wissa. While at that place he received
word that another cousin had been
kilh-d in a vreek at Tauiaqua, and
went to that place to attend the fun
eral.
Mr. Ayhurst then went to Williams
port for a few days, prior to return
ing home. He had intended goiug on
Tuesday aud had bought his ticket and
was sitting in the train that was to
take him part way home, when he
heard some one talking of the wreck.
The name of Harry Eyer was mention
ed. and making inquiry Mr. Ayhurst
learned that he had been killed. Mr.
Eyer was a cousin of Mrs. Ayhurst,
who was formerly a Miss Wjllets. of
Willianisport. Mr. Ayhurst at once
postponed his trip home and went to
Sunbury, where he took charge of the
remains of Mr. Eyer.

street, has removed into the dwelling
recently vacated by S. R. Kreeger,

For Sale by Paules & Co,
OWNERS MUST
TRIM THEIR TREES
Pursuant to the action of conncil a
large number of notices were sent out !
to property owners Tuesday request
ing that they trim the trees belonging
to their premises, the limbs of which
protrude so as to intercept the light
from the arc and incandescent lamps
and thereby impair the service of the
borough light system.
The action was based ou a report of
the borough electrician, who ou ob
serving the operation of the system
was not slow to detect where the trees
were in the way. Ou Front Btreet,
and on several of the principal streets
in the fourth ward the trees need
trimming. No matter how many arc
lights are installed, if the trees are
neglected, there are sure to be dark
spots in the street. A single limb, if
neglected, may grow out iu such a
position as to cast a deep shade on the
street only a few yards from the lamp
It is a fact, however, that here and
there on the streets above named the
limbs of the trees actually meet form
ing au arch over the driveway. The
effect at such places can easily be im
agined: there is simply no light at all
except iu a little circle around the
lamp.
At such places it frequently hap
pens that persons noting the absence
of light mistake the cause and petition
council for au additional lamp. Of
course iu such instances the lamp rare
ly materializes,but instead of it comes
the request that the trees on the
thoroughfare be trimmed.
Unfortunately property owners do
not always take kindly to the proposi
tion that they trim the trees and it is
the cause of not a little friction be
tween the borough aud its citizens
M'iny persius are very proud of their
shale trees aud are glad to see theni
develoD. To disfigure them therefore,
bv cutting off auy of the limbs, seems
like a defacement not to be entered
upon without great cause.
The borough will probably take meas
ures to enforce the order. Kach prop
erty owner that was notified may take
consolation in the fact that he is not
alone, as a score or more of notices re
lating to the trees were sent out from
city hall yesterday.
Supt. Gordy's Resignation.
The two days that have elapsed since
the resignation of Borough Superin
tendent U. L. Gordy was auuouuced
have been quite sufficient for the senti
ment of taxpayers to manifest itself on
the subject.
It is apparent that the public wants
Superintendent Gordy retained. Mr.
Gordy's personality, his popularity,
counts for something. it true, bur
t at is uot m!I As n mere business
■ proposition, us people look at it, lie
should be retained. As salaries go at
preseut it is feared tlint a weak sucees-
I mtirht be procured for the "alary
that is being paid. As a result our
schools, which have attained such a
high stai.davd,might soou decline. Cau
Danville afford to suffer such a calam
ity if the expenditure of a few hun
dred dollars additional would avert it?
A good many of the directors them
selves have gone on record as favoring
some action that would retain Mr.
Gordy. There is obviously no time to
lose, however,and whatever the school
board intends to do it should accom
plish without any delay.

INTERESTING CASE
BEFORE DALTON
Justice Dalton rendered his deoiilou
iu a case yesterday which involves the
right of citizens to shoot in the bor
ough.
The defendant iu the case was
Charles Love, who was accused by
Scott Heini with shooting a cat, which
belonged to the latter. The hearing
took place before Justice Dalton Mon
day evening
The prosecutor alleges that on Sun- I
day shots were heard and ongoing iu- I
to the back yard saw defendant with |
revolver in hand and near by on the '
ground lay the dead cat.
Love, who was represented by Ralph j
Kisuer, pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor alleged that his cat
was perfectly well behaved and was i
not addicted to killing chickens, as it i
came and went among his own fowls
without molesting them.
The charge brought against the de
fendant, However, was not that of kill
ing the eat, hut c>f shooting in the
borough iu violation of section 8 of
borough ordinance under "Nuis- •
ances," which provides that it shall
not be lawful for any person or per
sons to wantonly discharge firearms of
any kind within the'borough of Dau- j
ville. The penalty is five dollars for :
! each offense.
Justice Dalton reserved his decision
until !t o'clock yesterday morning. At
that hour all parties were on hand.
The decision was that the defendant
was guilty of shooting within the bor
ough iu violation of the ordinance and
thus was liable for the fine imposed
in addition to the costs. Tim justice,
however, decided to he lenient and he
remitted the fine, holding the defend

THE HEARING
DJUATURDAY
The matter of the old cemetery will
come up before court on Saturday. A
number of witnesses including the
church trustees and borough officials
were subpoenaed yesterday. After the
hearing the matter will no doubt be
disposed of by the court with little
delay and the wav will then be open
for speedily abolishing the cemetery.
It is to the next stage of the pro
ceedings, which will have to do with
the removal of the dead, that the most
interest attaches. How many bodies
will be found after the lapse of so
man) years aud what disposition will
be made of them are matters which at
this time are wholly problematical.
In view of the fact that the ceme
tery may pass out of existence many
prominent families of this section have
entered upon a searoh for graves iu
which relatives, near or distant, are
buried—with a view of causing their
removal to auother cemetery. In many
instances, however.it occurs that eveu
with the assistance of the old chart
described iu these columns a day or so
a'jo.the graves can not be located.
Among the graves for which a fruit
less search has been made is that of
Captain Jacob Gearhart, a hero of the
Revolution and progenitor of the
Gtarhart family of this section, who
; was buried in the early days of last
j century. Robert Curry, who was mur
