Danville, Pa., Aug, 29, 1907.
The Blessing of Sleep.
When a man is asleep he is out of
mischief. It is oue of the most ab
solutely innocent things he can do.
All the poets have spoken well of the
habit Sleep is "balmy," "dewy,"
"tired nature's sweet restorer," etc.,
etc., aud Sancho Pauza, it is remem
bered, called blessings down ou the
head of the astute person who first in
vented it.
It is one of the paradoxes of our
civilization that sleep, innocent though
it is, has become so thoroughly dis
reputable when it is in the publio eye.
If a high city official or one of our
.judges were found asleep on a bench
in a small city park it would cost him
his honorable fame and might cost
him his office. Men would say he was
"soused" or intellectually unsettled.
No woman,no matter how respectable,
can goto sleep in a public place or
conveyance without being nudged in
to wakefulness by some official guard
ian of the properties. The man who
dozes off is likely to be aroused by the
noise of a poilcemans' stick beating a
tatoo on his soles.
It seems that sleep may be like that
equally innocent institution, religion.
"This is no place to get religion,"
was the stern rebuke administered, as
the authentic anecdote has it, by the
sexton of a fashionable church wheu
an old colored mammy gave that as an
excuse for the pious ejaculations that
had disturbed the course of the Sun
day morning sermon. The parks and
publio conveyances, it is agreed, are
no place to indulge in the innocent
relaxations of slumber.
To sleep there is to raise the suspic
ion that you have no regular domicile
and no pew in a church, and therefore
are inferntially an undesirable citizen.
The somnolent one is in danger of be
ing robbed and thereby putting a
scandal on a public place, remunerat
ing the wicked and adding to the tasks
of the police. He betrays either a
shameful confidence in the honesty of
his fellow men or in a shameless in
difference to'their scandalized disap
probation. He is in a state of mental
dishabille. He embarrasses men by fol
lowing a policy of disarmament to
which they are reductaut to subscribe.
He irritates them by his degenerate
communism, his willingness to in
strust his personal safety, his immedi
ate personal effects—and perhaps his
permanent support—to the community
at large.
Despite their collective fads, men
are pretty individualistic after all. It
disgusts them ti gee other men as'eep
in the open. They are none too well
pleased when people eat in the streets
and there are evidences of a growing
protest against public spooning. The
roof tree has not lost its fuuetion, nor
life the need of its reticence.
Tor a New Pure Pood Law.
James Foust, dairv aud food com
missioer, of Harrisburg, delivered an
address in York a few days ago before
the eleventh annual convention of Re
tail Merchants' association of Pennsyl
vania, in which he said that the new
food law was unsatisfactory aud that
it was his intention to formulate a
law before the next Legislature con
venes that will eliminate impure food
Without the necessity of a multitude
of prosecutions to which business men
are now liable.
Commissioner Foust's subject was
"The Food Laws of Pennsylvania."
He sail!:
"The law is not satisfactory. It
means trouble by its provisions for
prosecuting the wholesaler, .jobber or
manufacturer for food adulteration. It
means the necessity of the retailer ap
pearing in court as a witness, losing
much valuable time. The kind of a
law we need is one by which the re
tailer will be notified to discontinue
the sale of adulterated products.
"Before the next Legislature con
venes it is my intention to formulate
a law which will eliminate the im
pure food evil without the necessity
of a multitude of prosecutions. All
that is needed is a simple law, which
a man can sit down and learn in twen
ty minutes."
Wm, P, Prentiss a Benedict.
William P. Prentiss, of this city,
and Miss Minnie D. Henninger,daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henuing
er, of Pottsgrove, were married Mou
day afternoon at the United Evan
gelical parsonage, by the Rev. W. M.
Wall is.
The groom is a well known young
man and is employed at the butt mill
in the Structural Tubing works. Yes
terday morning at au early hour his
fellow workmen serenaded the newly
married couple. Noise was produced in
large quantities and was continued un
til the groom appeared to thank the
Berenaders for their efforts.
Musical Treat at Mission.
The East End mission Sunday af
ternoon was tin scene of the finest
musical treat that it has been the plea
sure of a Danville audience to listen
to for some time. Dr. Ellis Bond, of
Binghamton, New York, sang several
selections to an accompaniment play
ed by his wife. Dr. and Mrs. Bond
are visiting at the home of the form
er's undo, Moses S. Bond, of Chulas
kev. Dr. Bond is the possessor of a
magnificent baritone voice, and form
erly was one of the leading vocalists
of Philadelphia. The other soloist
was Madam Dorsa,daughter of Robert
Morris, of this city. She is a profes
sional singer of note and has a remark
ably fine voice.
"NEVER MIND
THE EXPENSE"
John Collnni, the man from Scrau
tou, who turned up so mysteriously at
the hospital for the insane, Friday
night.,is being made as comfortable as
possible at the county farm. He is nut
able to wear his shoes after his loug
tramp and his mind is by no menus
clear and rid of vagaries.
The ofticers endeavored to come to
some understanding with the author
ities, at Scranton over the 'phone be
fore removing the man to the poor
farm Sunday afternoon. The attempt
was utterly futile but the incident
servos as an object lesson to show the
extent to which discourtesy may be
carried and how arbitrary a public offi
cial may become in dealing with the
affairs of his office.
Officer Voris after much difficulty
succeeded in locating a member of the
Scranton board of overseers of the poor
and got into communication with him.
lie explained the uufortuuato predica
ment that John Collum, an alleged
resident of Scranton,was in. Tne offi
cers' idea was that, if the man was,as
he claimed to be, a resident of Scran
ton, audit therefore devolved on that
city to take care of him in the prem
ises, the cheaper plan would be to
get him off to Scranton immediately
instead of taking him to the alms
house. He had no doubt but that in
view of the diminished expense that
Scranton would thus incur, the auth
orities would be glad to know tiie facts
and would probably send some one by
the next train to Danville for the
man.
To begin with the Scranton official
refused to even talk with Danville un
less the message were prepaid. After
this detail was arranged the official
coolly informed the Danville officer
that he positively would not talk with
him on the subject. The proper way,
he said, was to address the secretary
of the board, in writing. He gave
Officer Voris pretty clearly to under
stand that he considered him presump
tions
Our officer then undertook to explain
that his purpose in thus calling up
Scranton was to avoid unnecessary ex
pense, which would be sure to be in
curred if the man were taken out to
the poor farm. This thoroughly exas
perated the poor official. The matter
of expense he distinctly gave the pol
iceman to understand, iii such mat
ters, tlid not cut any figure with the
overseers of the poor of Scranton.
"Don't worry over the expense" lie
said, "aud don't dictate to me. Ad
dress the secretary in writing, " he
repeated.
During the conversation Officer Voris
timidly inquired whom he might have
the honor of addressing. The high aud
mighty official, however, evaded an
answer, except to say, "you are ad
dressing one of the overseers of the
poor of Scranton."
River Lowest Since Year 1879.
Through the courtesy of Water Com
missioner Edward Corman, the News
has been furnished with some interest
ing data concerning the different levels
of the river which have been attained
during low water.
As explained in a recent issue "ele
phant rock," the large boulder in the
river below the bridge plays an im
portant part in the keeping of the
records. As far back as the memory
of the oldest resident extends, when
ever the river reached a mark that was
phenomenally low there was always
some jne to row out in the stream and
chisel the mark on the rock. Frequent
ly the initials of the individual ac
companied the date.
Rowing out to the rock Tuesday
Mr. Corman discovered that the river
at present is within four inches of the
lowest mark inscribed, which was
placed on the rock iu 1854.
The river, which rose a few inches
after the rain last Friday, has fallen
again and is now where it stood dur
ing the low water of 18T(!. In 1871) it
was about two inches lower than at
present. With that exception, if the
marks on the rock are a criterion, the
river has not been lower than the pre
sent in thirty-one years.
The oldest date to be seen on the
rock is "1822." The river was then
not so low as the present. Accom
panying the figures are the initials,
"G. A. R." A trifle lower, but still
above the present mark are the dates,
"1833" aud "1837," accompanied,
respectively, with the initials, "I. C.
R." and "A. D. "

' A communication from Professor E.
S. Bream, principal-elect of the high
school, was read before Che school board
Monday night, in which the writer
returned thanks and enclosed a signed
contract, explaining that lie would be
on hand next week to enter upon his
duties as principal.
Ou motion. Miss Emma P. Young
man was elected as supply teacher for

Borough Superintendent Dieffen
bacher presented a report of pupils
which in the natural order will be en
rolled in the grammar schools of the
borougli tliis year. Tha first ward
grammar school will have thirty-seven
pupils; the second ward grammar
school will have thirty-four, while in
the third ward grammar school there
will be fifty-eight pupils enrolled.
It was the sense of the school hoard
that fifty-eight pupils constitute too
large a number for the third ward
grammar school and that the schools
should ha equalized, if possible. The
board spent some time discussing the
matter. Several plans were proposed,
the most generally approved being
that the non-resident pupils be dis
tributed throughout the borougli in
the grammar schools where the most
room is found. On motion it was de
cided to postpone action until after
the opening of the schools when a bet
ter idea may be obtained of the exact
number of pupils enrolled.
On motion of Mr. Sechler the res
ignation of Dr. F. E. Harpel as a
member of the school board was ac
cepted.
On motion the committee was in
structed to order limestone spalls from
Almedia to be used on the school
grounds in the fourth ward The same
material was applied on the school
ground in the first ward a couple of
years ago and has been found to an
swer the purpose admirably.
Ou motion of Mr. Fischer it was
ordered that the building and repair
committee be instructed to sell all the
old iron found lying about the school
buildings for junk.
Mr. Fischer, of the building and re
pair committee,reported excellent pro
gre in the work of installing the
fln-n closets at the fourth ward school
building. The borough is at work ou
the sewer, making the proper connec
tion with the building. On Wednesday
the representative of the new system
will be in Danville to install the flush
closest.

Court Decision in Market Cast .
On Tuesday morning Judge Savidge
handed down an opinion in two cases
resulting from a liitter fight over the
rules and regulations governing curb
stone market at Mt. Carmel which is
of great importance and will no doubt
be noted by every borougli in the com
monwealth and filed for future refer
ence.
For a period of five years a bitter
fight has been waged in the Mt. Car
mei market, the farmers attending do
iug in all their power to run tilings
to suit themselves in defiance to the
market ordinance and it is reported on
several occasions when the market
clerk tried to assert his authority
horses were driven so close to him
that he had to flee for safety.
As a result of this continued trou
blo, Jacob Miller, a fanner from the
Schuylkill, and J. M. Vought.a farm
er from Montour county, were arrest
ed charged with violating the borough
ordinance. When the cases were heard
before a justice of the peace both the
farmers wore sentenced to pay a heavy
fine and costs of prosecution.
The cases were theu appealed by the
farmers to the court for a decision
concerning the matter. The testimony
produced showed that farmers refused
to abide by the market regulations not
to peddle their produce during the
hours of markrt and the farmers con
tended that under the act of assembly
of 14*03, it was rlass legislation and the
collecting of a market fee was a tax
which was contrary to the act. The
borough contended that the market
ordinance was a police regulation.
After examining briefs and hearing
the arguments on both sides Judge
Savidge has handed down his decision
which decides both cases in favor ot
the borough and in each case judg
ment directed against the farmers for
the fine and cost imposed by the just
ice of the peace.
A humorous incident in connection
with the case is that after the farm
ers were arrested so much trouble fol
lowed that in order to keep the market
from being broken up the Mt. Cartnel
council repealed the market ordinance.
Now that the borough has won ft will
likely be adopted again.
A largo number of Northumberland
county farmers were interested in this
decision and it is due to their sub
scribing funds that the case was tak
en to the courts. One of them when
interviewed about the matter on Wed
nesday stated that the farmers would,
no doubt take it to a higher court and
fight it to the bitter end,as they claim
it is a rank case of imposition, and
they never ought to have been taxed.
MANY GRAVES
ARE JBLITERATED
The committee ou publio improve
ments, if possible, today will put ad
ditional men to work in the old oeme
tery laying down the tombstones and
otherwise getting the graves in shape
for the filling up and gradiug of the
tract, which is the next thing in ord
er. The council is much encouraged
by the activity shown by the soldiers'
monument committee and it sees the
necessity of pushing the work along
as rapidly as possible in order to keep
pace and have the park prepared for
the monument when the committee is
ready to erect it.
Of the four hundred and odd graves
that are marked some seventy have
already been obliterated with the con
sent of relatives and friouds. Not only
are the tombstones laid flat on the
graves, but in every iustauce care is
taken to see that they are at such a
depth that they will not likely be dis
turbed when tiie tract is graded. Thus
unless the grave is in a very low spot
the tombstones are laid some two feet
below the surface.
Yesterday another batch of eighty
one names was handed to Ambrose
Miller, who has the work of laying
down the tombstones in hand. These
are all of dead who have been buried
a long time, relatives and friends of
which have signed releases. Yesterday
Mr. Miller stated that during the
morning he had laid down two tomb
stones, one of which bore the date
"1806" and the other "1807". m
The tombstones of the Hendrickson
family are being removed to the well
kept little cemetery belougiug to
Heudricksou's church in Valley town
ship. In the number are Abram Hend
rickson, who died in 1887, and Mary
C. Hendrickson, his wife, who depart
ed this life in 1852. These are the pro
genitors of the rather numerous Hend
rickson family living in this section.
Two other graves that of William D.
Hendrickson and Peter Hendrickson,
both of whom departed this life in the
first half of the last century, also oc
cupy the Hendrickson plot, which is
situated beside the large tree grow
ing west of the center of the cemetery.

A Dangerous ME n.
There is reason to believe (hat so
long as human nature is what it is
this is not going to be an ideal world.
Here in the United States during the
last few years there has been an era of
extraordinary prosperity. Capital and
labor have both prospered. There has
been as little unavoidable poverty as
any other country or any other period
of time,has witnessed. If all men and
women have not had enough and to
spare it lias not been the fault of busi
ness and industrial conditions.
Iu connection with this unusual
prosperity there lias been a tremend
ous stirring of the national consci
ence. Beginning with the thorougli
investigation of the business methods
of the big insurance cotnpauies of
New York and extending over other
fields of vast business enterprise a
halt has been called upon corporate
lawlessness and plutocratic intoler
ance, changed methods introduced
and a fair start made in the direction
of promoting the universal reign of
law. The results have been profound
ly irritating to some men who had
formed the notion that the govern
ment was in subjection to them, but
it lias tended to confound the dema
gogues who persistently maintain that
the law is simply another weapon of
the rich.
It must be the conclusion of all fair
minded men aud women who careful
ly observe the situation that the Am
erican people,native aud foreign-born,
are highly favored by fortune, which
is but another name for Providence.
The law is being enforced as never be
fore. The rights of the workiugman
are conserved. Wages are high aud
working hours comparatively short.
The workiugman who is sober, in
dustrious and economical has enough
to maintain his family in comfort aud
perhaps a little surplus at the end of
the year. There ought to be little rea
son for discouteut among those who
are blessed with health aud energy;
who are able aud willing to work.
And yet one occasionally encounters
some blatant loafer who never did an
honest day's work in his life, «ntess
it was under compulsion, but who is
filled with a somber sense of sorrow
over the injustice meted out to the
American workiugman. This agitator,
who would rather starve than earn his
living by honest toil, but who is not
above accepting the fruits of other
men's labor, predicts the coming of a
bloody catastrophe in our happy coun
try. He talks freely about impending
bloodshed because he has no sense of
responsibility,aud also because he has
no intention of losing any of his own
precious life fluid. Like Artemas
Ward, he will be perfectly willing to
shed the last drop of blood in the veins
of his wife's relatives, but he intends
to take mighty good care of his own.
Sensible men, whether employers,
mechanics, laborers, professional men,
should give no encouragement to the
vile demagogue who distorts fact, ap
peals to prejudice, undertakes to stir
up passion aud seeks to bring neigh
bors who ought to be good friends all
their days into deadly conflict. The
country and its people have no more
dangerous foes.

THE FARMERS'
INSTITUTES
Fully 400 farmers' institutes will be
held in Pennsylvauia.uuder the direc
tion of the State department of agri
culture, during the period beginning
November 13 next ami ending March
4. Three lecturers v ill be furnished
by the department tn each couuty for
institute work during the coming sea
son, which will open two weeks earli
er than usual. The apportionment is
made oil the basis of two days of in
stitute to every county having not
more than 1000 farms; three days to
each county having more than 1000
and not over 1000, afterward, one day
for each 1500 farms or fraction there
of, additional. This insures depart
ment aid to each county in proportion
to its agricultural interests.
The State has been divided into five
seotious by Deputy Secretary Martin,
under whoso direction the institutes
will be held. A separate set of lectur
ers will be assigned to each section,
ami in a given county the same depart
ment workers will continue until all
the institutes in that county have been
held.
Secretary of Agriculture Oritchfield,
Deputy Secretary Martin, Dairy and
Food Commissioner Foust, State Zo
ologist Surface and State Veterinarian
Pearson will assist in the institute
work in so far as time and circum
stances will permit.
The amount of money to be distri
buted to the various managers for
local expenses will be according to the
number of days of institute held. In
order to make the amount ample for
the coming season, Deputy Secretary
Martin has fixed the sum of .$12.50 per
day of institute. This providess2s for
each two days of institute, to be used
for local expenses.
The following are (lie times and
places for holding the institutes in
Montour, Northumberland aud Col
umbia counties:
Montour—Mausdale, February 3;
Washiugtonville, 4, 5.
Northumberland Dalmatia, Jan
uary 27, 28; Pottsgrove, 29., 30; Para
dise, 31, February 1.
Columbia—Catawissa, January 27,
28; Millville, 29, 30; Mifflinville, 31.
The department has also arranged to
conduct movable schools of agricul
ture during the institute season. These
schools will be separate from the in
stitutes and will be held in eacii con
gressional district. If they prove a
success, a school will bo conducted in
every county of the State next year.
" We never repent of eating too little,''
was one of the ten rules of life of
Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every one without exception during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food, even in small quantities to
bo digested when the bloud is at high
temperature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. We should
also help the stomach as much as poss
ible by the use of little Kodol for In
digestion and Dyspepia, which will
rest the stomach by digesting the food
itself. Sold by Paules & Co.

AN ARREST AND
A MOVING
Charles Switzer was arraigued before
Justice of the Peace Oglesliy Tuesday
night on a charge brought by his wife
Nora Switzer. In lodging information
the woman told a terrible story of
abuse and threats and at the hearing
was aocoinpauied by numerous wit
nesses. The defendaut, however, es
caped by payment of costs, a trifle ov
er five dollars.
Northumberland street was the scene
of a big excitement Tuesday fore
noon aud while the two policemen
were dragging the defendant off to the
lockup handcffued, neighbors and oth
ers were assisting Mrs. Switzer to re
move her household goods to Blooms
burg.
Mrs. Switzer claimed to be very
much afraid of her husband and her
object was to get out of town before
he succeeded in extricating himself
from the toils of the law. At the just
ice's office when swearing out the
warrant Mrs. Switzer declared that,
owinii to her husband's threats and
abuse the night before with her chil
dren she had spent the greater
part of the night on the bridge over
Mahoning creek. She declared that she
was afraid of her life aud begged the
justice to protest her until she could
get her children and household goods
to Bloomshurg.
The arrest was made under the dis
orderly conduct act of 1901, which im
poses a penalty of ten dollars for such
conduct aud in default of payment
carries with it imprisonment not ex
ceeding 30 days.
At the hearing the defendant pleaded
guilty, after which the justice asked
the wife whether she would withdraw
the charge if the defendant would pay
the costs. She finally consented,only
stipulating that he should for all time
remain away from her. He promised
to comply and very readily procured
the money needed to pay the costs.
Don't accept a cough cure that you
may be told is just as good as Ken
nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup, because
it isn't just as good—there is quite a
difference. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts gently upon the bowels
and clears the whole system of coughs
and colds. It promptly relieves inflam
mation of the throat and allays irri
tation. Sold by Panles & Co.
