    Montour American.
FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor.
Danville, Pa., July 25. 1907.
The Arrivals in a Year.
The proper department at Washing
ton informs the people of the country
that the number of immigrants land
ing at the various American ports
during the official year ending June
30, 190? was 1,285,349. This is much
larger than the exhibit of any pre
vious year. The figures provoke var
ied feelings in different breasts. Just
what influence the newcomers are go
ing to have upon those among whom
they have made their homes must be
left for the future to determine. It
is already pretty well established that
the advocates of the open door,and the
"unguarded gate" are dearly in the
majority. Thsy are strong enough
to prevent the enactment of any re
strictive legislation that will really
restrict.
The Providence which led the Child
ren of Israel out of the land of bond
age, across the Red Sea, through the
wilderness, over the Jordan and into
the Promised Land, was evidently op
posed to "mixing" the races. The
Old Testament contains many stern
admonitions against affiliating with
the alien—if it is proper to call the
inhabitants of the laud aliens —and
the chosen people were warned of the
decadence that would surely befall
them if they mingled with the for
eigners who knew nothing of Jewish
history and worshiped other and
strange gods. We learn from the sub
sequent history of that strange race
that the evils from which it suffered
and the afflictions which befell it were
largely the result of its mingling with
aliens.
Reasoning by analogy, many Amer
icans hold that our gates should be
guarded very closely. They contend
that the isolation so strongly urged
upon the Israelites would have pre
vented many calamities if it had been
carried out and they also agree that
such a policy would be equally bene
ficial to present day Americans. They
tell us that the Father of his Country
had the existing condition of affairs
in mind when he bade us beware of
foreign influence and they say that it
is monumental folly for this nation to
admit by the million men who have
nothing in common with the original
impulse which moved the fathers of
the republic and who are certain ta
profoundly modify the national life
and character. They are alarmed at
the outlook for the future and protest
that they have good reason to be.
Others tell us that the fears which
disturb the breasts of those who would
like to end immigration are ground
less. They remind us that; we were
all aliens once and express the con
viction that on this continent it is the
the great composite race which shall
eventually rule the world. They tell
us that the work of the country must
be done and that we must look to the
newcomers to do it; they add that the
average alien loves liberty as sincere
ly as we do and that under the educa
tive influence of our institutions he
soon becomes a good American. They
point to the fact that aliens have been
easily assimilated iu the past as the
best possible evidence of our probable
future digestive capacity.
Burglars Routed by Children.
While Mr. and Mrs. Henry Reich,
who reside about a half mile from
Mausdale were away from home, Mon
day night, an attempt was made to
enter their house, aad the burglars
were scared into a hasty flight by the
stout resistance and lustv outcry of
two small children.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Reich, who live
on the Conway farm, were on the
Thomas Vincent farm harvesting. The
three Reicii children, a baby, a boy of
five and a girl several years older, were
alone in the house.
Between 11 and 12 o'clock the boy
was awakened by the sound made by a
person endeavoring to break the lock
on the front door. The little fellow
was terrified and awoke the echoes of
the house with a lusty yell.
The outcry awoke the little girl, who
upon determining what was the trou
ble, sprang from bed, rushed to the
bureau where she knew her father
kept a pistol,and grasping the weapon
hurried to the window.
Below she saw several shadowy
forms retreating. Upon these she
bravely opened fire. The shots, how
ever. evidently did not take serious
effect, for the wouldbe burglars escap
ed and nothing more was heard of
them.
The next morning evidences of the
midnight visit were plainly visible,
where an attempt had been made to
enter the front door and to raise the
window.
Undergoing Renovation.
The lecture room" of the First Baptist
church is undergoing a thorough re
novation. The woodwork is being
painted, the walls repapered and the
floor covered with new carpet. Charles
M. Johnston is doing the painting and
decorating.
Episcopalians Had Outing.
Yesterday was Episcopalians' day at
DeWitt's park, and the members of
Christ church congregation, their
friends and the children of the Sun
day school, enjoyed one of the most
delightful outings ever given under
the auspices of the parish.
In the afternoon, to the music of
I" etterman's orchestra, the young peo
ple gave a very pleasant dance.

HIE HI
Jumbo, the King of elbs belonging
to Alexander Billmeyer,after ten days
of excitement and adventure incident
al to the most wonderful journey that
au elk ever made, is back again in his
j domicile at Washingtonville and has
J resumed the even tenor of his life,
j Notwithstanding his rough and per
ilous trip, including not only a ride
j in the cars, bnt also a journey to the
housetops he did not sustain a scratch
nor as Harry Billmeyer expressed it
Tuesday "was a single hair rubbed
I off." What the old elk's emotions
were, however, is another matter.
| Quite certain it is lie made no effort
!to conceal his grateful feelings when
| he approached his old home,
j At the preseut season an elk ordin
j arily is quite unemotional in his na
j tare. Serene and equable in temper
j lie is not heard to utter a sound be
yond a mere sniffing repeated several
! times, when he is subjected to some
| new experience. During the exciting
| experiences of his trip whatever his
' feelings might have been they were
j ueyer manifested by auything more
| than this mere act of sniffing,
j When the train bearing Jumbo,
| which arrived at Watsontown at 5 a.
i in. Tuesday, reached Schuyler on its
| way to Washingtonville a great change
| cauie over the noble elk. Aided by
j instinct he seemed to know that he
| was near the herd—that he was ap
! proacliing his home, and rearing his
j head high aloft he began to bellow.
| Schuyler is about six miles from Wash
| inatonville and there is nothing il
-1 logical in the conclusion that gifted
|by nature as dumb animals are, the
elk at that point knew that he was ap
i proacliing the rest of the herd.
| The train with Jumbo on board
reached Washingtonville at 8 a. m.
The huge cage was placed on a set of
stout skids, to which was attached six
horses. It was two hours and a half
'later, or 10:30 o'clock, when Jumbo
arrived at the park,
j When the strange outfit was half a
! mile from the park and a point was
| reached from which the groves and the
| buildings appeared in view there was
a fresh outburst from Jumbo. He had
been bellowing at intervals ever since
I leaving Schuyler, but nowthat he rec-
I ognized his home witli all its lami
liar surroundings he became wildly
demonstrative, holding his head high
aloft and bellowing loud and long,
j As soon as possible Jumbo was re
| leased from his cage. Mr. Billmeyer
j Tuesday stated that he would not
have been surprised if the elk had
j walked with a little difficulty after
j his long confinement in such cramped
| quarters,but the animal did not appear
to be the least bit stiff.
T!;e meeting of tli6 big elk with the
For a moment it looked as though
there was going to be a red-hot en
counter between Juuibo and the other
bull elk, known as "Job," which is
eight years of age. The two animals
instantly challenged each other, but
before they locked their antlers they
discovered that they were old friends
and instead of a battle to the death
there was a love feast. This recogni
-1 tion seemed to come abont in some
mysterious way as soon as the two
elks got their heads together.
An elk is fond of the water and he
loves to wallow in the bed of the
stream. The first thing that Jumbo
] did, therefore, after greeting his old
j companions was to hurry down to the
j creek and take a bath. He had a fine
j time in the water for nearly an hour.
! At the time of the interview with Mr.
Billmeyer, about 3 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, the two elks, .Tumbo and
Job, were lying down in the shade
side by side peacefully chewing their
end.
HUNGRY SAH
IS OUT AGAIN
I "Hungry Sam" Miller, of Alnif
; dia,dubbed "King of Gormandizers, "
the "Human Ostrich," and various
other names, which in plain English
| means a large eater, is well. He has
recovered from his Fourth of July ex
periment or four quarts of
lemonade, as much bean soup, a half
a ham and such small items got away
with him and put him on his back in
his little trundle bed,states the verac
ious Bloomsburg Daily.
"Sam" paid Bloom a visit for the
first time since the Fourth, on Tues
day night, and it was very evident
that he had not lost any of his gor
mandizing abilities.
Going into George Wageuseller's St.
Elmo Hotel. "Sam" made his recov
ery known by asking that he be given
a loaf of rye bread. It was furnished,
and in two minutes Samuel has dis
posed of the big piece of bread. Then
he swallowed in a gulp a schooner of
delicious Stegmaier lager.
In rapid succession he called for and
ate six big sandwiches. Then three
more schooners of beer followed the
eatables.
This was not satisfactory to the man
and he was still huugry. "Have you
any eggs?" he asked. "Yes," was the
reply. "Let me have a dozen,please. "
The eggs were furnished, and the
"Ostrich" started to eat them, shells
and all. This was done, and amidst
the surprise of the proprietor and a
few guests who happened to witness
the strange proceeding, "Hungry
Sam" pulled a big wallet from his
pocket, extracted therefrom a #2O bill
and offered to bet it that he could eat
three quarts of ice cream, in addition
to what he had already stowed away
Of course he had no takers.

making an observation, stepped to a
(omewhat exposed position to eecmxe

moment at personal risk when General
Oracle, who was In the party, quietly
stepped before General Lee without
obscuring his view and remained thus
covering the body of his superior until
the fleldglass was lowered and the
danger over—a simple, quiet act, but
showing cool bravery and a self sacri
ficing spirit.
The Limit.
It was just a plain lying contest, but
tho prize was togo to the man who
told his lie most briefly and casually.
"I came In on a suburban train this

A trunk unloaded 1 y mistake at a
residence oil Vinesti et Tuesday uig',t
was the innocent car-e of great exc:te
ment,which kept a f..wily up half the
night and brought to the premises not
only a policeman bur also the o.strict
attorney.
Shortly after the arrival of the even
ing trains one of the omnibuses was
observed to laboriously climb the hill
at the northern end of Vine street and
at the very summit to back up at the
residence of Mrs. Benjamin Cook and
proceed to unload a trunk.
Mrs. Cook's first thought was that
she was getting a visitor, but finding
that the trunk was not accompanied
by any one she was mystified and ask
ed for an explanation. The busman in
formed her that he had been directed
to leave the trunk at No. 21S) Vine
street by a young man, who got off
the train at the D. L. & W. station,
but who for some reason did not wish
to accompany it. Mrs. Cook was sure
that there must be some mistake, but
the busman was positive that he un
derstood the man rightly and that he
had delivered the trunk precisely
where lie had been directed to leave
it. Mrs. Cook insisted that he reload
the trunk and take it away with him,
but the man couldn't see why lie
should disobey orders and despite the
woman's protestations he drove away
leaving the trunk at her house.
Mrs. Cook was the only occupant of
the house at the time and no sooner
was she left alone with the trunk than
she hecaiuo very nervous. There was
something so unusual about the affair.
All the "trunk mysteries," with their
shocking details,concerning which she
had read for many years past came to
her mind. The trunk in itself was
commonplace and innocent-looting
enough, but that did not alter mat
ters any. Finally it grew dark and
after that hour the mysterious trunk
seemed to inspire a new dread. The
woman could not get away from the
thought that she had been made the
innocent victim of some dreadful af
fair and her imagination pictured a
thousand uncanny things that the
trunk might contain. With such a
companion sleep was out of the ques
tion; she could not even think of re
tiring.
She stood it until 11 o'clock: she
stood it even half an hour loncer and
then, at 11 :30 o'clock, too indignant
and nervous to stand it any longer,she
hurried down town to seek aid from
the police. Siie rati across Officer Voris
and soon made him acquainted with
the whole affair.
The officer was at a loss to know
how to proceed. It was prohsib.'y all a
mistake and he did not feel that he
had a right to throw the trunk out cf
doors. At this juncture fortunately he
happened to run across District At
torney Major C. P. Gearhart.who ow
ing to the extraordinary circumst
ances of the case,agreed to accompany
j the officer to Mrs. Cook's premises and
conduct an investigation.
; Arriving at the spot the men
| closely examined the trunk ; there was
nothing to suggest anything shady or
off color about it. Still, they had to
admit that the circumstances were all
. very extraordinary and after carefully
! considering the subject iu all its bear
, ings, the officials concluded that to
quiet the woman's fears,if for no oth
er reason, they were justified in open
; ing the trunk.
| Fortunately one of the men had on
1 his ring a key whioh fitted the lock.
It was a moment of deep suspeuse as
I the key was manipulated and a click
ing sound a moment later indicated
that the lock was open. The lid was
raised,when there lay exposed to view
a harmless assortment of male and fe
male wearing apparel—nothing more.
| Almost at the same moment the lid was
reclosed and then it was found that
| the ill-fitting key which had sufficed
to unlock the trunk would not relock
it. However,the trunk had been open
ed by those iu authority.
Yesterday morning a dapper youug
man, who was lamenting the loss of
iiis trunk, got on the trail of that par
ticular busman who had delivered the
j mysterious trunk at Mrs. Cook's resi
i deuce. The rest is easily told and
shows how men can be mistaken when
they feel sure that they are right. The
stranger declares that he ordered the
trunk delivered at Rank street. The
busman is equally po»tive that he said
I "Viue" street.
