One needs all the sincere friendship one can secure in this world. Trial of a man's stamina is calculat ed to reveal the weak places in his character Accidents will happen so long as men are mortal. High spirits are the usual accom paniment of youth and health. The man who has a good tiling to sell should advertise it. Ee who sneers at woman maligns the mother who bore him.

There being no opposition to Mr. Byerly and Mr. Bell as engineers both ; were unanimously re-elected, after | which Mr. Wertman was unanimously re-elected as fireman. Council was ; divided on the recommendation as to David Rank, one half of the members favoring the election of George Hul lihen, the present fireman. The vote therefore resulted in a tie. A second ! vote was taken when Mr. Hullihen re ceived seven votes as against five for Mr. Rank and he was therefore declar ed elected as fireman. On motion it was ordered that the 1 salary of the engineers at the water ; and light plant be fixed at !?2.25 per turn aud the wages of the firemen at \ 51.70 per turn. It was also ordered that the superin tendent and assistant superintendent of the water and light plant be given j power to suspend any employe for i neglect of duty until fully investigat ed by council.

SEPTEMBER 12, 1907 ARGUMENT 1 FINAL HEARING The argument ou final hearing in the injunction proceedings relating to the trolley hold-up at the D. L. & W. crossing, Mill street, which was to have taken place at Bloomsburg on Saturday, has reawakened interest in the stubborn and prolonged battle be tween the D. L. &W. Railroad com pany and the Danville and Blooms burg Electric Railway company, which seeks to run its cars over the D. L. & W. tracks. Ou last Saturday morning, the date of the final hearing, all hands were present ready for the proceedings Representing the Danville & Blooms burg Electric Railway Company, iu addition to Hon. R. H. Koch, were F. C.Angle, Esq., President: W. C. Billman, secretary and W. R. Miller, general manager. Representing the D. L. & W. Railroad company were Hon. H. M Hinckley of this city and A.H. McClintock of Wiikes-Barre. At court in Bloomsburg, Saturday, an important case was being tried and j at 10:30 o'clock, the hour set for the j argument, the hearing of testimony { was still iu pi ogress. There was no probability of getting through with the case before some time during the afternoon and Judge Evans, therefore, postponed the hearing until 10:30 o'clock this morning. Much interest attaches to the pro ceeding, as during a couple of years or more it is the first important ac tion taken looking to a dissolution of the injunction. Whatever Judge Evan's decision may be iu the pre mises the matter will uo doubt be tak !en to the supreme court,so that a final j decision is not. yet iu view, although | it is very gratifying that proceedings ' are oil foot that are to bring about a i final adjudication before long. BROKE HIS ART! WHILE PLAYING William Livziey, the little son of Harvey Livziey, while playing at Blue Hill, Sunday afternoon fell and fract -1 ured his right arm uear the wrist. He ! was taken to the office of Dr. Smith, South Danville, where the arm was temporarily bandaged, after which he was taken to his home on Market street this city, where {he family physician set the broken bone. Notwithstanding the serious nature of the little fellow's injury he proved himself to be thoroughly game Mon day by attending school. He is one of the best pupils in the third grade of the first ward, and is almost never ab sent or tatdy. Monday he was com pelled to miss the morning session, but iu the afternoon he was in hie seat as usual. ENGINE CINDERS DAMAGE CROPS The Sunbury Division of the Penn sylvania Railroad Company has beeu made defendant in an action in tres pass, brought by Harvey Roach by iiis attorney, F. T. Ikeler.to recover 11000 damages done to the plaintiff's prop erty iu Beaver township, Columbia county, Mr Roach alleges in his filed state ment that the Pennsylvania negligent ly aud carelessly failed to equip their locomotives with reasonable and ord inary appliances to prevent tne burn- ; ing aud destruction of the plaintiff's | property along the line of its railway. | That by reason of the said negligence there was deposited upon the lauds of . the plaintiff sparks, fire and cinder so ; that the growing timber was burned | up, and cultivated lands burned over and damaged. It is alleged by compauy officials j that it is impossible to prevent a cer- i tain amount of cinders from passing j through the netting over the base of the smoke stack and falling upon ad acent land. TRAIN RAN INTO A LANDSLIDE The passenger train on the D. L. & W. railroad that leaves Danville at 10:19 a. m. rau into a landslide about a mile above Berwick yeßterday morn- ! ing. None of the passengers or the ! crew were injured, but the pilot was | torn from the locomotive,and the train | came dangerously near to being ditch- ! ed. The train due here at 12 :44 also ran ! into a slide ear the same place, but j little damage was done, and orily 10 minutes was lost. Bought Strawb'y Ridge Property. Calvin E. Shires, of Strawberry j Ridge, yesterday purchased from J. j F. Lowrie 48 acres of laud at Straw berry Ridge, which adjoins the house j and lot that Mr. Shires recently 1 bought from his father, Charles E. Shires, Sr. DOCS MUZZLED LEAD TO ARREST Yesterday was the date set for the strict enforcement of the borough ord inance relating to the muzzling of J dogs. There was plenty doing there | fore in the police department, several | arrests being chronicled, while at least one dog was killed. Incidentally soores of canines took on muzzles during the | day. Early in the day High Constable | Beuton B. Brown started out on the | ,iob. People evidently did not believe | that the ordinance would be strictly ! enforced and a very large number of dogs were seen on the streets one-half jof which were unmuzzled. The most j of them, however, were of the mongrel J sort with no distinguishing points and ! there seemed to be no way of determ ining who the owners might be. I The first man found guilty of per- ' nnting his dog to run at large with ; out being muzzled happened to be em ployed at the big mill. He was taken j from his work and arraigned before i Justice Fine and costs amount j ed to eight dollars. Later in the day another citizen, this time a resident of the Fourth ward, was arrested and mulcted in flue and { costs amounting to eight dollars A i large number of other unmuzzled dogs | were noted and during the day were \ being closely observed in order to de ! tect thes, owner. In several of the latter | cases arrests are expected to follow. A i dog.found to be a homeless cur,whose owner had moved out of town, was shot by the police. By the hour of noon, when it be | came apparent that the ordi ii | ance would be enforced, unmuzzled \ dogs became pretty scarce on the streets. During the afternoon in most parts of town they disappeared entire ly. Meanwhile the rush for muzzles was ' on. Dogs that were easily fit were | supplied with the ready-made article ! at the hardware stores. Pug dogs, and i dogs with long noses, very large or 1 very small dogs had to have rtiuzzles j made to ordei. | This branch of work seemed to na turally fall to the saddlers and both of i the establishments of town were busy as nailors yesterday. In most instances the dog was brought to the shop where the measure was taken. It was discov ered that a muzzle could be made in twenty minutes. The prices ranged from twenty-five to fifty cents. SCHOOL DISTRICT'S SALARY INCREASE Yesterday the officers of the local '■ school board,.l. Newton Pursel, presi dent, and W. H. Ortli, secretary,certi fied before Notary Public A. H. Grone to the amouut of increase in the teach ers' wages occasioned by the new teachers' minimum salary act and the i blank has been forwarded to the depart meut of public instruction. As a result of this uew law twenty two teachers had their wages increas ed, ranging from five to fifteen dollars per mouth. Only three of the num ber receive forty dollars, the remaind er holding professional, permanent or normal school certificates, which en title them to fifty dollars per month. The total increase amounts to $1746.- 00 per term. This amount will be re funded by the State and does not im ply an extra burden on the tax payer as many not fully informed on the provisions of the act may have sup posed. Nevertheless the chargo is brought that here and there throughout the State discrimination is shown in deal ing with old and experienced teachers who are in the fifty dollar class, these i being turned down and others less ex perienced who command the lower minimum rate of forty dollars being selected in their stead. In view of the fact that the amount of salary increase over last year will be paid back to the districts it is hard to understand what would influence well-informed school boards to discriminate against teach eTs holding professional permanent or normal school certificate and it is doubt ful whether the practice exists to any considerable extent. In Honor of Daughter, A party was given Tuesday evening at he home of Mr. and Mrs. William Fren, in the honor of their daughter Viola.

Grier Barber was elected as a I member of the school board from the ! first ward, Monday night to succeed Dr. F. E. Harpel, who tendered his resig ' nation some weeks ago. ! At the opening of the session, the ' regular order of business was suspend ! Ed and the school board proceeded to fill the vacancy existing in the board. | Mr. Swarts nominated Dr. Barber ito fill the unexpired term of Dr. F. ! E. Harpel, whose resignation was ac cepted at a previous meeting. Mr | Seohler seconded the nomination. The nomination carried,after which a vote was taken, as a result of which Dr. Barber was unanimously elected, the members voting for him as follows: ! Pursel, Ortli,Swarts, Burns, Redding, Fish, Fischer, Sechler and Cole. 1 Dr. Barber was escorted into the room, where the oath was administer ed, after which he took hia seat with j the board. On motion of Mr. Burns it was de cided to purchase three cars of lime stone spalls to be used in coating the school grounds in the second, third and fourth wards.

Rogers, however, has begun work on the section to be macadamized, so that, while the street is open for traffic as far as the steam flouring mill, be yond that point it will be closed for some weeks longer. According to the contractor's view it will be impracticable to use the street while the macadam is being laid. By using Chambers Ntreet, however, ! people in entering ami leaving town : can drive over the new pavement. Unless some unforeseen delay occurs the short section of the street to be macadamized should be completed by i October first. The excavating is done, j Tuesday the stone culvert was torn j up just above the flouring mill pre-j paratory to constructing a concrete j culvert. Iu reconstructing the macadam trap j rock from this place, crushed at Mr. j Rogers' plant,will be used along with I limestone from Mausdale. HEAVY RAIN STREAMS RISE The hardest aud most prolonged rain ' of the season deluged the country' about here on Tuesday night, and fol-1 lowing the severe storm of Monday j night, gave the earth a much needed ! soaking and sent the river up several | feet and the smaller streams over their banks. , The rain, a steady downpour, lasted i from about nine o'clock uutil nearly J one o'clock yesterday morning. In a J number of places some damage was done by the storm. In Derry township, about a half mile from Strawberry Ridge, the barn of Charles Hiletnau j was struck by lightning but was not set on fire. A rafter was torn loose and J other slight damage done. The Chillisquaque went on a ram- j page,overflowing its banks and in some places flooding the highways. The j creek was up all day yesterday. At \ Washingtonville the water rose about I the chicken coop of Grant Roat aud j killed 26 fine chickens. Below Wash- j ingtonvilie the roadway was covered j with water on both Sides of the cover- i ed bridge. Yesterday the river was rising rapid ly and by last evening was nearly three feet above low water mark The river rose 6 inches in four hours yes terday afternoon. Fred Owen was a Benton visitor yesterday inn u is IP (Speoial Correspondence.) HARRISBURG. Sept. 11. While the Republican state commlt ' tee headquarters were opened in Phil j adelphia this week, the campaign for j the election of the Republican noml- I nee lor state treasurer, John O. Sheatz, j it Is believed, will not be Inaugurated I until the meeting of the state conven | tlon of the Republican League of Clubs. which will be held in this city on Tuesday and Wednesday, Septem ber 24th and 25th, respectively. It is predicted that there will be a large attendance at this convention, and there is promise of some brilliant oratory from gifted sons of Pennsylva nia, who will tell of the splendid char acter of their standard bearer in the state campaign, and of the enthusiasm with which his nomination has been received by his fellow citizen through out the commonwealth. Reports that come here from the various counties of the state all con- I firm the claims of Colonel Wesley R. [ Andrews, chairman of the Republican j state committee, that the party organ j ization was never more harmonious, j nor never more loyal to a ticket than it is today. Colonel Andrews, while he has de layed the opening ol the state head quarters until this week, has been in correspondence with the chairmen of the Republican county committees and others active in the organization all summer, and there Is undoubted evi dence that much preliminary work has been done in the way of qualifying the voters in the matter pay ment of taxes and in interesting those who are obliged to be personally reg istered under the recently enacted leg islation in this very Important feature I of the campaign. Must Qualify Voters. While voters in first and second class cities still hare aij opportunity | to be personally registered on Tues day, September 17th. and Saturday, October sth, the residents of third \ class cities have also two days more for registration—Tuesday. September 17th. and Saturday, October 19th. Under the election laws of Pennsyl i vania. every citizen, to be qualified to j vote at next November's election, must j have paid a state or county tax within : two years. The last day upon which taxes can be paid to qualify voters for the next election will be Saturday, October sth. | Citizens in Pennsylvania living out side of cities are not required to be personally registered. It is expected that there will be thousands ol visiting Republicans not connected with the Club League come to this city during the lays of the con vention gathering to meet Mr. Sheatz and the others of prominence in the Republican party who will be in at tendance upon the convention. Candidate Sheatz has evidently made a fine impression wherever he has been, for there is a great demand to have him to address meetings in differ ent counties, and there is going to be a real old-fashioned spirit in the cam paign when it gets well under way. Many Dauphin county Republicans were present at the recent meeting at the Grangers picnic at Williams Grove, when Mr. Sheatz was the principal orator, and they were delighted with the Impression he made upon the voters and the manifest sincerity of his pledges to cqnduct the office of state treasurer as he would his own business, and to be upon the alert to check extravagance or any illegal raids upon the money of the people. Sheatz's Ideal State Treasurer. When asked to state the "kind of state treasurer Pennsylvania should have," John Oscar Sheatz wrote the following: "He must realize that as treasurer of Pennsylvania he is merely acting as trustee of your money and Is not the owner of it. "He must stand ready to pay every just obligation of the commonwealth, and absolutely refuse to pay any sum when the expenditures are not clearly defined by existing laws, or when fla grant extravagance exists. In the lat ter case the sooner the press and pub lic are made aware of the fact the bet ter for our commonwealth. "He must be a man who will ont de take orders from a political boss, or one that cannot be persuaded by pro mises of future political preferment. "He must be a man who will not de posit your money in banks, where the influence of those bankers and stock holders. in return for this deposit, is to be exerted for political parties or factions. "He must make careful business prin ciples prevail throughout the depart ment and have every employe holding his position because of capability and not political pull. "The foregoing are my thoughts on the question of state treasurership. and if the people of Pennsylvania, after carefully looking up my record as a member of the state legislature during the sessions of 1903-05-06-07 (the only ofllce I have held) find it as being consistent with my views here ex pressed, then I hope they will vote for D the coming November election." Eye Knocked Out. A Polauder employed at the Read ing Iron works, while shearing scrap had an eye kncokerl ont on Monday night. The accident was caused by a piece of iion, which broke loose and flew upward striking the man in tiie face. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 com Jii RETURNS VERDICT The jury empaneled by the acting j coroner, E. W. Young, to hold an in quest on the body of John Rogers, who was killed by the cars on the i Pennsylvania railroad, Sunday eveu | ing, examined witnesses Monday i morning and returned a yerdict of ac cidental death. j The following witnesses, members j of the crew of train No. 1, by which j the mau was killed, arrived at South i Danville from Sunbury on the 7 :25 ! train and were immediately examin ed : George W. Rose, engineer; C. H. j Troutnian,fireman; Robert Kline, con j ductor; William Austin, baggage mas ter; Charles Hartman and William | Miller, brakemeu. The jury impaneled from among the I bystanders Sunday evening were : J. H. Kase, P. G. Baylor,l. P. Hummer, ' Frank Baylor, William Lewis and H. jO. Kase. The jurors viewed the re j mains Sunday evening, after which ! the inquisition was adjourned until J Monday morning when it.was ar i ranged to take the testimony of ttie crew of train No. 1. When the jurors j reconvened Monday morning H. C. j Kase did not appear and Peter J. j Berger was chosen to act in his stead. i The testimony adduced at the itear ' ing agreed with the facts of the case i as related at length elsewhere in these j columns. It was learned in addition 1 that the train was running at the rate !of fifty miles per hour. Illustiating ; the heroic effort made to stop the train sand save the man's life.notwithstand j ing the powerful momentum,the train J was actually brought to a standstill within a space of less than a hundred I yards. The testimony showed that the j passengers were given a lively shak ing up as the emergency brake was applied and the train came to nearly n sudden stop. There was much alarm I among the passengers, who thought a | wreck had occurred, j The man.in a dying condition, was j dragged out from between the second | car. A new juryman being on the case I it became necessary to make a second ' view of the remains. For this purpose | the jurors visited the undertaking rooms of George W. Roat, this city, after which they retired to the south side nnd returned the following ver dict ; "That it appears from the appear ance of the body hud the evidence ad j duced that the said John Rogers came J to his death on the Pennsylvania rail | road in Rush township. County of Northumberland.at about 5 :15 o'clock j Sunday evening last by being s f ruok 'by engine of tiain known as No. 1, ctusing death by compound facture of i skull,he being on private right of way |of the Pennsylvania railroad com pany, there lying across the track about i midway between Little Roaring creek and the farm of W. A. Kennedy in Rush township, county aforesaid, it | being an unavoidable accident on the part of the said Pennsylvania Railroad company or its employes." COVELASKIE'S BRILLIANT FUTURE Govelaksi, the new pitching recruit from Woodbury, N. J., secured by the Phillies, who did such wonderful ex cation in the game with Brooklyn Tuesday, hails from Shamokin. What is more lie was brought out of the mines and started on his base ball career by our townsman,"Jack" Bate man, who was then manager of the Edge wood team. Covelaskie could not be convinced that he had any of the qualities that, go to make a great pitcher and was loatli to leave his humble job in the coal mines. Manager Bateman thought otherwise and prevailed upon him to take a place on the Edgewood team at a regular salary. In Shamokin, where he was known as "Rube", all sorts of good things were predicted for Cove laskie. He made good Tuesday by holding Brooklyn down to two hits and no runs during the five innings he offici ated. Not a man walked on him and two were fooled by his left handed shoots. Died of Apoplexy.
