Friendship Is one of earth's most priceless possessions. No man lias any more dignity than he earns by his conduct. The State owes a duty to the help less and the mentally defective that should not be forgotten. Modern civilization recognizes the obligation of the strong to help the weak. The woman who is a good comrade is the one who will make a good wife No man knows what the future has in store for him. The person who wishes to be a suc cessful liar must have a long memory. Self-conceit is not a bad trait so long as it is carefully concealed. It is a pernicious practice, the ex- 1 elusive reading of novels. The last word will always be said by woman, but never about her. The man who gets too old to learu is ready to leave this world. Litigation is usually a tedious and expensive business. Properly directed curiosity is a very j useful and helpful attribute. Economy is a virtue but miserliness is a hideous vice. One's darkest hour is always fol lowed by a gracious dawn. Being in love—with something or somebody—is woman's normal state. The man who observes the laws of health needs little medicine. Courtesy is a very attractive grace of character. The State department of health is getting busy in several directions. There would be little progress if it were not for discontent. The laborer is always worthy of his hire porvided he is efficient. Vindictiveness is a quality that brings its possessor much pain. The world's final estimate of us is apt to be pretty near right. Women generally leads man, either toward heaven or toward hell. The world seldom long mistakes the counterfeit for the genuine article. The moments that come to us one by one make up character and fix de stiny. Some of the immortals were conn ed miserable failures by their genera tion. The thing men call success is some times rank failure. A woman's love is the most endur ing thing in the world. Mr. Rockefeller's income is now estimated at sl9 a minute. For con venience in calculation he should round it up to an even twenty. The downward road is very attrac tive at the start, but the scenery even tually becomes decidedly sombre. One who investigates the origin of a bit of fossip before helping to circu late it is wise. Whatever may be the objections to the automobile, it is surely of great, assistance in reducing those swollen fortunes. The Ohiueso are about to establish schools of their own in tlie United States,supported by their government. The Loudon Daily News notes that a Swiss village has been decorated with flags in honor of a hen that has laid her thousandth egg. Gold is nearly twice as heavy a silver; thus a cubic foot of the former weighs 1,210 pounds and the same quantity of the latti r 655 pounds. It is estimated by a Frenc'' statis tician that over half a millior intom obiles tiave been manufactured in the past nine years. The United States now leads the world in producing t! e machines. Enon;;li warlike preparations are go ing on iu all narts of the globe to in sure occupation for peace conferences for generations to come. The Sunday observance wave has struck Mazleton and on Sunday every saloon was closed, a thing not experi enced iu twenty years. A man of ,r. D. Rockefeller's inex pensive perosnai habits can live and even save a few dollars on an income off 15.000.000 a year. Immigration to America, according to all present indications, will be heavier this year than ever before in the history of the country.

In a statement to the court Sheriff Williams reported that he has seven prisoners in jail, three of whom are under sentence. He explained what degree of freedom is given the prison ers in the corridor iu order to give them the amonnt of exercise essential to the maintenance of health. It has been the practice to permit the prison ers to mingle in the corridor between the hours of Ba. m.and 5:30 p. m At other times they are kept locked in their cells He denied the report,, which had come to the ears of the j court, to the effect that the prisoners while mingling in the corridor are ; permitted to play cards. Whatever the practice among the prisoners may have been up to the present, time, the rules in force at the jail now strictly | prohibit card playing. The court ex pressed approval and made it very plaiu that card playing among the prisoners can not be tolerated. WALTER RUPP GETS 60 DAYS. At 11:20 o'clock the grand jury re ' turned a true bill iu the case of Com monwealth vs. Walter Rapp, the charge being assault and battery. At 11 :40 the case proceeded to trial. The jury was oalled, after which Walter, was asked whether he had any counsel. He replied that lie had none and did not think it was necessary to have a lawyer, as he wished to plead guilty. The defendant's plea was accordingly taken, after which Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer was called before court to explain the circumstances of the as sault. On May 29th Kupp was fighting. The chief-of-police started in pursuit of him and had nearly caught up to him on llio D. L. &W. track, when Rupp, after threatening to kill the officer, picked up a large stone and let it fly at the chief-of-police. It barely missed the officer's head, striking a board fence with a loud report. Rnpp on being asked to stand up took his place before the court. In re ply to questions from Judge Evans he stated that he would be 24 years old on his next birthday; that he was ar rested on the 7th of July last and had spent tho interim in jail. The court informed Rupp that he was to be con gratulated on having missed his mark when he hurled the stone at the offic ■ er's head; otherwise he might now be lonI on trial for his ilfe. The sentence of the conrt was that Rupp pay the costs of prosecution and undergo an imprisonment in the coun ty jail for a period of sixty days. As Judge Evans ceased speaking 1 Rupp became dramatic. Speaking in a loud and distinct tone he said: "Your Honor, will you make an order forbidding any one to sell me any liquor? That is the whole trouble with me ; I drink. Jußt as soon as I get out of jail, I am in again. So long as I can get liquor it will be the same thing over again." As an after thought Rupp added : "And, your honor, make tit so that no one can even 'give' me | liquor S The court explained that such an I order would lie made indue time CASE OF OTIS KNAPP The case of Commonwealth vs. Otis j Knapp was called before court and ' heard without a jury. It.was a surety jof the peace case and revealed a very I pitiable state of affairs in a disrupted household.

SCHOOL MOOD ADVICE CHANTED SIDEWALKS 00 111 SESSION NOSniAL ATTENDANTS NORTH ILL STREET The school board held a regular meet lug Monday night. The volume of busi ness transacted was not large,although the session was of maximum length. A number of bills more than usually complicated in their nature were pre scnted for payment and the discussion incidental to the approval of these was responsible for the loss of a great deal of time. It was the sense of the school hoard t lint tlift diftrlct up to Hip present ban b<»«n employing » wrong «y»teni of futuigatioti-—expending a great ilpdl of money without any adequate result.*.

Treasurer Schrani reported that he lias received $18,500.00 on 1907 taxes. Mr. Fischer reported that a portion of the ceiling in the room occupied by the second grade in the third ward hns fallen, which makes the room appear unsightly. He recommended that a plasterer be employed at the earliest opportunity. On motion of Mr. Sech ler it was ordered that the matter of repairs in the third ward be left in the hands «112 the committee on build ing and repairs. On motion of Mr. Burns it was ord ered that the contract for furnishing wood to the borough schools be award ed to William Quigg.who has furnish ed wood for a couple of years past. Two loads will be required at each of the wards and one at the Welsh hill school. On motion it was ordered that Trea surer Schram be authorized to collect from the different townships tuition ■ fees for nou resident pupils attending the high school.

Mature. The bids were opened, but the con tract was not awarded. Another meet ing will be held Saturday, when it is understood that the work will be let. There were in all ten bidders, rep resenting Philadelphia, Reading, Lewistown and Buffalo. Each of the competing firms had a man at the meeting Tuesday. The proposals were formally opened in the pn Miuce of the representatives of the bidding firms. Each of the bids was well within the limit of the appropriation, which is taken as a gratifying circumstance. It has also been learned that two of the lowest bidders are Philadelphia firms. Steinbach, Billmeyer & C0.,0f Lewistown, Montour county people, were among the bidders and their figures were only a little above the lowest. , The coutract. however, will be awarded to the firm bidding the low est only on condition that it can be shown to be thoroughly responsible. The board of trustees feels that it can afford to delay the awarding of con tracts for a few days in order to acqu ire necessary information relative to the firms bidding. A meeting will be held not later than Saturday when the coutract will be awarded. It was learned Tuesday that each of the firms bidding is prepared to begin work in a few days after the contract is awarded. The ittendciits at the Danville hos pital for the ln«ane have I « • n granted a substantial increase in salary.

Failing to receive this the attendants said they would leave the employ of the institution. At the meeting of the board of trus tees on Tuesday, favorable action was taken and yesterday afternoon Dr. Meredith called the attendants' com mittee before him and told them of their good fortune. He also stated that their requests for more time at lib erty would be complied with as soon as the officials of the institution are able to secure additional attendauts. A pleasing feature of the case is ' that, although the female atteudauts had no part in the demands made, yet their pay is increased in the same pro portion as that of the men. The new scale of wages is as fol ■ lows: Ward masters, #4O; w!»rd mis- ! tresses, $32; graduate male attendants #39; graduate fsmale attendants S3O; for male and female attendauts not | graduated, a minimum [of $22 aud #lO | respectively with a quarterly increase of $2 per month.

MECKHAN GOES TO BLOOAISBUKG j The presiding elders of the Central | Pennsylvania conference of the M. E. \ church have been overruled by Bishop ' McDowell, who yesterday transferred Rev. Edgar R. Heckmau from Dun cannon to the First Methodist church at Bloonisburg. The First M. E. church at Blooms burg for some time has been without a pastor and the conjugation selected Rev. Heckman.

Now that the first sectiou of North Mill street, when* the paving was in stalled, is fully completer), the prop erty owners, at least along the east side of the stroet, are giving some thought to sidt-walh improvements. From present indications, it seems, that this feature of the North Mill street improvement, like the paving, will present no real difficulties and if giten sufficient time will work out. nil right. Already the business people along the street are planniug fine concret sidewalks, while there are very few owners of property abutting who have not taken up the matter with one or another of our contractors. After the first pavement is laid it is safe to pre dict from the spirit shown that it will not be long until the entire stretch of sidewalk will be fixed up in a way to correspond with the fine paving. Owing ro the arbitrary building line on North Mill street the reconstructed roadway as surveyed at ono or more points leaves an exceedingly wide space for sidewalk, which may pre sent something of a problem when it cornea to laying a pavement. The change of grade oil the east side of the street is not considerable and in rais ing or lowering sidewalks abutting property will not be damaged to any extend. WhITTAKER DIED IN CELL I William Whittaker, convicted of murdering his wife, at Mt. Carmel, who was awaiting the death sentence in the county jail at Sunbury,escaped the gallows by dying in his cell Tues day evening of acute indigestion. The details of his crime are familiar to News readers. Whittaker was married to a young lady of Mt. Carmel, but | owing to his abuse she left him and returned to her parents. Whittaker ! coaxed her to come back to him and ! when she refused lie took his razor and went to her parents' home. He led her into the parlor and when she ' again refused to live with him he cut i her throat. At the trial aii effort was | made by Whittaker's attorneys to j prove him insane, at the time of the crime, but the effort fell fiat and the I jury did not consider the insanity j plea, agreeing in a few minutes ou first degree murder. On Tuesday after ; noon lie was taken ill suffering from acute indigestion, but his condition | was not considered serious. A doctor j was called and his treatment aave re i lief.
