Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Oct. 17, 1907. Thu Law and the Citizen, In this country we liavo a surplus age of laws Congress and the State legislature* and Hie local councils,are everlastingly at it adding to the vol ume of legislation. But the intellig ent alien isn't here very long until he discovers that many laws are absolute ly valueless for the reason that no effort is made to eoofroe them. After awhile ho begius to imitate the ex ample of his native neighbor—when he finds n lnw restraining his fancy he is tempted to ingore it. Take the liquor laws of the several States. Not one of them is perfectly enforced. Much opposition is made to the enactmeut of prohibitory laws on the ground that they will he disre garded. And yet the truth is that they are quite as generally obeyed as are other laws dealing with the liquor problem. We have a law in this State which forbids the sale without a li cense ; which forbids the sale on Suu day; which forbids the sale to a con firmed drunkard or to one visibly tin der the influence of liquor. Wise re strictions, these, but how seldom are they regarded. ~ We also have an act of assembly im posing a tax on dogs. Recently it was supplemented by another act provid ing that unless a dog wore attached to its collar a tag certifying that its master had paid the tax for the cur rent year it became the duty of the constable of the ward or township in which such dog might be found run ning at liree to put it out existence. How much of an effort is anywhere being made to enforce that act? And yet it seems to be a wise and judici ous measure, well calculated to reduce the surplus population of worthless oanines and to bring in a considerable revenue from those willing and anx ious to pay rather tl.an lose their dogs. It is a bad example, we native born Americans place before our brother from abroad who comes here expect ing to be a good American and anx ious to imitate our example. We trample uDder foot the Sunday laws and others that do not meet with our approval and then wonder why some of our new citizens manifest such an inveterate disposition to take the law into their own hands also. The truth is they are not here long until the? discover that the only law many of us care tc obey or to have enforced is one which protects our personal interest while those that displease us an* «Ps obeved. OeDcemiug Swindlers. Mrs. Cassie Oliadwick, who <ii d 1 prison at Columbus, was the mo-' <■,- markable swindler of tlie age -i • is reportod to have swindled usuall> 000 l and alert business men out of more than a million dollars. Whetlur or not her imprisonment shortened her life is a matter of little moment, for she accepted all chances. The impair ment of health by reason of confine ment in the penitentiary is a possibil ity well understood by lawbreakers but which never deters them from the commission of crime. Mrs. Oliadwick was no exception to the rule. There lias been some touching ser monizing on the crimes and the death of this woman, and indeed tiiey fur nish many a topic for discussion ev erywhere. She recieved the wages of sin and paid the debt of nature while paying the penalty exacted by the law. She is no longer the debtor of man or law. Discussions and sermons based on her career will apply with greater force to the living than to the dead. There are many Chadwinks, of both sexes, whose heads stand high in the community because they have not broken the eleventh commandment, /rhere are swindlers in high stations, eminent in politics and hasiness, who are fine fellows because they have nev er been brought to trial for their swindles. The railroad prince who defrauds the stockholders of millions by meaus of dishonest manipuation of their holdings or the stock is a swind ler of worse degree than Mrs. Chad wick hut he is not punished. The corporation that destroys rivals vio ates the laws and defrauds customers of a jnst return for their money iB a swindler, and its officers ought to be in the penitontiary. The greatest swindlers are ihose who defy the law and who are protected against prosecutions and penalties. There are many who enjov that pro tection. It is to be hope that Cassie Chadwick's fate will be a warning and a lesson to all who love the mighty dollar better than they love morality, conscience, the statutes and honorable treatment of their fellow men. Spoke at Prayer fleeting. Rev. J. J. Shindel, of Allentown, a nephew of the late Rev. M. L. Shindel. has been spending several days in Dan ville as a guest'at Jthe home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. McCoy, Church street. Last evening Rev. Shindel spoke at the prayer meeting at Pine Street Evangelical Lutheran church. All the members of the family of George E. Campbell,of Lancaster, be came very ill on Monday after eating saner krant for dinner and the physi cian who was summoned said they were suffering from arsenical poison ing. The supposition is that Paris green had been used on the cabbage to destroy the cabbage worm and the outer leaves had not been propelly re moved when the kraut was made. INVESTIGATING HORSE'S DEATH Proceediugs have already been start ed uuiler the act of April It, looking to the recompensing of T,i s Boud tor the loss of his horse, wbidi had tc bo killed by reasou of t»u tack of rabies last week. The pro ceedings have been started in the In ough of Danville, as it was lime tuu the horse is alleged to have l"Mn bit. ten. Mr.* Bond after losing his horse im mediately laid the matter before Jubl ioo of the Peace Oglesby. The latter, as required by law, notified the bor ough auditors, whose duties under the law are to determine whether or lint the horse was really bitten in the bor ough and,if so,to ascertain the amount of damage, later making report to the justice of the peace. The auditors of Danville borough— John L. Jones, A. O Amesbury aud Grant Gulicfe—held a meeting at the office of Justice Oglesby Saturday night for the purpose of discharging their duties in the uremises. A num ber of witnesses were examined M. S. Boud was the first witness. He testified as to the value of the horse, the development and symptoms of the disease. Mr. Bond was followed by Veterin arian J. O. Reed, who explained that the horse diod of hydrophobia. He was very positive in his opinion. Charles Gardner, driver for F. Q. Hartman, was the most important witness. He was near the D. L. & W. depot when Mr. Bond's horse was sup posed to have beeu bitten. He describ ed how Mr. Bond's team was backed up to the station platform. The driv er was in the freisht house. Mr. Gardner saw the dog run under the team, as it were, aud practioally at the same time Mr. Bond's horse, the one that developed rabies, reared up. Thin brought the driver out of the building,but by that time the dog had passed on. Mr. Gardner could not say that the dog actually bit the horse,al though that seemed to be the infer ence. His eyes were on his work at the exuot moment when the dog is supposed to have snapped the horse, and caused him to rear. It was not until a moment later, when the crowd in pursuit came up, that any of the people about the depot Warned that the dog was supposed to b<; mail. Mr Gardner said they at once examitKd Mr. Bond's horse [but c u' I not fijd any mark of importance t ; 'r lie that he had been bitten, liscover,however,a very slight ion on the horse's nose, hardly 'I ) enough to bring blood, which ■ Ked as though it might have been veshly produced. Veterinarian J. J. Kline was npxt examined. Dr. Kline would not posi tive l\ insert that the horse was not affected with rabies,but judging frjin the symptoms as described to him he thought there was room for doubt. One of the prominent symptoms of the disease seemed lacking. The evidence adduced revealed that at first there was doubt whether or not the symptoms shown by the horse might not have been produced by a snake bite. It was thought probable that a snake might have bpen carried into the barn with a bundle of corn fodder. The auditors withdrew to the resi dence of James Scarlet, Esq., where that gentlemau was examined with re ference to a conversation that Mr. Bond had with him during which the snake-bite theory uus discussed. After two hours' hard work the auditors ai.'.iourued to reconveue some night this week, when they will present their reporo. Meanwhile it was their intention to visit the owner of the establishment near the fair ground, who to >k possession of the carcass of Mr. Bond's horse, for the purpose of seeing whether it would be possible to secure the head. In view of the uncertainty existing it seemed to them that the only course left to pursue would be to extract the brain and send it into the live stock sanit ary board for the usual test The horse along with several otners was skinned at tlio establishment and the carcass disposed of in the usual manner,which makes it a matter of considerable doubt whether or not the head can be obtained and identified as the one be longing to the horse that died of rab ies, DIST. ATTORNEY SCORES GAMBLING District Attorney C. A. Small in an open letter censures the officials of the Columbia county fair association for granting privileges under which gam bling was carried on last week on the fair grounds. In a walk down the mid way, he says, he found that privileges had been granted for fortune telling, the gingle board, the gaming table, the pickup game, the fortune wheel, the lottery, and a number of others. He closed during the four days ot the fair eleven gambling games and three fortune tellers. Mr. Small also claims that a speak-easy was conducted un der the grand stand at the race track, where whiskey was sold at ten cents a drink. The method used was as fol lows : The parties in charge would brush the ooat and hat of '.the thirsty patron. For this work a charge of ten cents was made and a drink of whisky given to those who desired it. He con cludes by hoping that during the next fair these wrongs will not be permit ted, and pledges the people of the county that the guilty parties will be prosecuted. A BtS/MTE GAME J jS, • ll Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Pa., Oct. 15. Wit -.or . a single Issue upon which to iiia. e a campaign, the Democrats of P /lvania, in a desperate effort to \v;:i the coming election, have re sort "'.I to the old-time tactics of slan der, iv rsonal abuse and wilful mls- uitation of the Republican party ami • s candidate. In the closing hours of the present state contest the Democratic tutors and professional spellbinders find the tide of popular sentiment running so strongly against them that they seem to have lost all regard for decency and self-respect in the reckless and un scrupulous methods employed to pro mote their cause. Despite the faot that before he was made the Republican nominee for state treasurer, John O. Blieatz was lauded by every Democratic newspa per in the state a* a fearless, inde pendent and public-spirited member of the state legislature, these same jour nalistic stars are now filling the col umns of their newspapers with violent attacks upon Mr. Shast*. with state ments entirely at variance with their laudatory references to Him while he was a member of the general assem bly, fighting the battles of the people, and they are calling upon the voters to defeat him at the polls and elec*.in his stead a man wboso strongest naon them is that he is a Democrat. Rcoklsss Democratic Oratory. Supplementing the worlr of the Dem ocratic editors, are a corps of profes sional Democratic politicians who are stumping the couatlss repeating •bargee that are absolutely unfound ed, sad circulating most flagrantly false statements in regard to Mr. Bbeati's votes in the legislature and la other ware misrepresenting the Re publican candidate and his party. This campaign of vituperation and abuse Is a iogloal sequence to the at tempt at the very outset of the con test to weaken Mr. Sheets among the •Id soldiers of Pennerivanla by the distribution of circular* teeming with falsehood and mailer, and designed to array the veterans of the Civil War against him in the matter of the sol diers' pension bill. The prompt and emphatic repudla- Uon of this aofecme by leading and In fluential members of the Grand Army, who knew Mr. Sheatz's ardent and consoientlous interest in the old sol diers and sailors, and who. over their signatures, told the story of his devo tion to their cause, for the time being completely demoralized the managers of the Democratic machine. Courbon Tactics Recalled. Hostilities have been resumed, how ever. There evidently been an agree ment ar.ong the Democratic politi cians to s-' i the limit in the closing days of the canvass in the matter of misrepresentation and abuse of every thing R' P' :!!< an. and especially of the Republican nominee for state treasurer. I.ast week marked the opening of this contemptible campaign. It is to be carried on without cessation until the polls close upon the sth of No vember, but there is every reason to believe that the well-meaning citizens of the Keystone state will recognize this revival of the despicable Bourbon methods which for years characterized Democratic campaigns in this and other states. The citizens of Pennsylvania are all familiar with the high personal character, the unblemished public record, the clean purpose and the proved integrity of John O. Sheatz, and it is certain that the more the Democratic editors and machin? ora tors attack him the greater will be his majority at the coming election. The people have confid nee in Mr. Sheatz and will resent the disreputable campaign that is being v.aj., j against him. Looking to the Prcaidincy. Under existing conditions in Penn sylvania, the success of the Republi can tieket is inevitable . Every effort on the i.ari of the op position to divide the U .i.iblicnn voto has been a failure. Indr pond- nts who have recently been figuring in fusion movemonts are praetjeaiiy all lined up for the Republic an candidate. They see that this is but the beginning of a great national light in which the Re publican hosts will be lined up against the national Democracy in a struggle for the presidency. They want to have their party united now. so that Republicanism will not< bo handl eappod next year when it shall be called upon to elect a successor to President Roosevelt. They want to let the nation know by the size of the Re publican majority in Pennsylvania this fall that tb.-- Keystone state is again at the front prepared to battle for the pHn«ipl«« and the policies which have made this the greatest aation upon the clobe. Enough Turkeys for Everybody. "There will be enough turkey togo around." So said a big produce and poultry farmer to a Morning News reporter when quizzed about the alleged scarc ity of the delectale gobbler. "You can say too. that there is more poultry generally this year than in several years," he added. The reports from down around Phil adelphia intimate that so many of the young turkeys got their feet wet in the spring and died that Thanksgiving will see a scarcity and high price. It is even predicted that they will be a fourth less in number than last year. Several causes for this decrease of the great American bird are given by farmers and poultry raisers. The rainy season came this year when the tur keys were at a tender period of tluir growtii. Western firms handling turkeys will be cautious in disposing of their stock this year. If local raisers keep the market tight at Thanksgiving, Chi cago will probably send in heavy ship ments at the laßt minute. IMPOSING Iff STRUCTURES Joseph Q. Lynch of the firm of Lynch Bros., contractors for the new buildings at the hospital for the in sane,returned to this city Mondayeven ing and as speedily aB possible will get the work of building under way. Mr. Lyncli was in this oity during the greater part of last week perfect ing arrangements."The impression got abroad that work would begin at the hospital yesterday and during the morning hours persons looking for work could be seen on the grounds. It may be several days before the con tractors can get material, teams and men together.but Mr. Lynch is emph atic in the assertion that operations will begin this week. Judging from the site selected for each of the three new buildings, the j latter when complete;', will give the hospital altogether a different appear ance. The building for the acute in sane male patients will be built on a line with and at the extreme end of the imposing west wing of the main building, while the building for the acute insane female patients will oc i cupy a site at the eastern end of the J femalejwiug. Each of the new struct ; ures, which will be separated from the { main building by a plot of ground, i will be of large dimensions aud of im- I posing architecture, comporting in every resppct'with the general plan I ai"! design. j The female infirmary will occupy a site south'of the new building for the acute female patients,some fifty yards distant, and about midway between the latter building and the nurses' i home. The excavation for the female ! infirmary is completed,which conveys a good idea of the ground plan and I the dimensions*of"tho building. It is large in sizo and in the main con forms with the male infirmary. The latter, for which $25,000 is ap propriated. will be raised and extend ed. When all the buildings aro com pleted the male infirmary, raised and enlarged, will stand south of the build ing for acute insane male patients, sustaining the same relation to that wing that the female infirmary does '■ to the eastern wing. With a slight effort the reader cau produce a mental picture of the im j posing'group of buildings that will i occupy the hospital grounds when the [ handsome appropriation is expended. | The group will finally include a suit j able building for employes and attend l ants, for which the sum of fifteen thousand dollars is appropriated. Threaten to Use Goal Oil. ! The two electric light companies of I lilooinsburg have joined in raising prices, which comes as a sort of a jar to Bloomsburg people, who for sever al ye:ir< past have been congratulating themselves on very low rates. The fol lowing clipping from the "Bloums bnrg Daily"of Tuesday evening relat ing to the advauce w ill be read with in terost, as it gives Danville users of electric light an opportunity of com paring rates. The"Daily" says: "An increased rate of approximate ly 50 per cent on the old rate for light to the small consumers was made by the Irondale Electric Light. Heat and Power C0.,0u Tuesday afternoon when it gave notice that on and after the first day of November next the rate for light from nothing up to2o kilowatts, lia method of measuring the electric | fluid used) would cost 9o instead of 6c jas the present charge is, and with a minimum meter rate charge of 75c per month. The same kind of a notice was handed to the consumers of the Ameri can Electric Light Co., several days ago. Each company will make a fur ther charge of 15c per light for globes exchanged. Heretofore the charge was nothing lor exchange of globes. "The increased cost came as a sort of a holiday present to the small con snmer of light, who was enjoying the use of-real electric lights in his home at a lower cost,and was received with regret.as the cost of almost everything else has been increased. "There was a general feeling of sor row from users of the Irondale Elec tric Light, and it Is said that more ! hail one has decided to cut it out and go hack to coal oil, as they say they cannot afford to pay the increase of lighting costs." AMBULANCE CHASERS ABOUT HERE, TOO The Milton Standara of last evening i contained the following: | The Pennsylvania railroad is just I discovering that the "ambulance chas | er" methods, so much in vogue at Philadelphia,are equally popular along the Sunbury division. In the city, whenever an ambulance goes by some j one generally follows it,finds out who j is hurt, and, if the victim was struck by a trolley car, persuades him to bring suit against the corporation for damages. This method of procedure is especially popular among lawyers of a i certain class. As the injured man never fails to get judgment in his fav or,the lawyer himself gets a rich haul in the costs and his share of the dam ages. Along the Sunbnry division, in Columbia county,forest laud frequent ly catches fire by sparks from the eng iues. It is said that whenever smoke arises on the lower side of the North Branch one or more Bloomsburg law yers walk over the bridge to investi gate the fire and to persuade the own er to bring suit against the company. With continued success this practice is becoming quite popular.as the dam age oases now listed for trial in the Columbia county courts will attest. VETERANS SPBK OUT [Special Correspondence.] [ Philadelphia, Oct. 15. Nearly 800 well known veteran* of the Civil War. soldiers and sailors who (ought for the flag in the hour of the nation's peril, have united In an ad dress to their fellow citizens of Penn sylvania caliug upon them to support John O. Sheatz, the Republican nomi nee for state treasurer. This action is doubly significant in view of the early attempts of Demo cratic politicians to alllgn the war vet •rans in opposition to Mr. Sheatz. A Patriotic Record. The address to which these heroic Pennsylvanians append their signa tures is a comprehensive statement o 1 the record of the Republican party In the matter of caring for the veterans of the war in both the state and the nation. It recites in detail the many pension measures passed and gives fig ures showing the amount of money paid out to the veterans. It emphasizes the policy of the Re publican leadership in Pennsylvania, which has been responsible for the generous appropriations made to the schools for the care of the orphans of soldiers and sailors, a total expendi ture of $12,545,153.74 having been made to date for this Item alone. There has been appropriated sums aggregating $1,887,089.42 to the home at Erie for friendless veterans, and homes for veterans and their wives established at Brookvllle, Hawkins Station and Philadelphia have been as sisted by the state to the extent of $200,000. Sheatz Was Sincere. A careful review of the work of John O. Sheatz, as chairman of the committee on appropriations of the house of representatives, is given and Mr. Sheatz is declared to have acted with the highest spirit of patriotism and fairness in framing the bill pro viding for pensions for the veterans which Governor Stuart, on acoouat of insufficiency of funds, felt obliged to veto. As to Mr. Sheatz ths address among other thinßs Buys: "Because of the insuflsiency of ths state funds the governor was com pelled to very reluctantly veto the bill, but we have every reason to be lieve that at the next session of the legislature of our state there will be sufficient members, like Mr. Sheatc, whose patriotic Impulses and affection for the veterans of the Civil War will insure the passage of a satisfactory bill for the purpose indicated. "In view of the facts herein present ed, is it necessary to offer any further arguments or reasons when we ask you to support the Republican State ticket In the coming election? The candidates to be voted for have been nominated by the same old parties— John 0. Sheatz for state treasurer, by the party of Lincoln, Grant and Me- Kinley, the party that has ever sus tained and cared for the veteran, his widow and the orphan, and honored and loved him for his services; his op ponent, by the party that has never been known to favor the veteran in any way, but has stricken his asms from the pension roll and has left him an object of charity. "Wo ask for, not only your own vote, but that you use your Influence with your fellow citizens that our state, which was true to the union in the days of '6l, may still remain true to the party that has ever been true to the Union and has always been a friend to the soldier." Republicans Are Aroused. The chairman says he Is highly grat ified with the reports that come to him from every section of the state. The committeemen In all he counties are working enthusiastically and they as sure him that a very large percentage of the vote will be polled. There have been so many requests received at the state headquarters for meetings to be addressed by Candi date Shentz that owing to conflicting dates suggested the state chairman has had difficulty in complying with the wishes of all cf the county chair men. President Habgood. of the Stats League of Republican Clubs. Is co operating with State Chairman An drews. He has addressed a number of meetings and reports that the young Republicans of the state are taking a keen interest in the campaign. "Mr. Sheatz will have at least 100,- 000 majority." confidently predicted President Habgood, after returning from a tour of the state. Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee, has com pleted an Itinerary for Mr. Sheatz for this week, with meetings at Bradford, Wednesday: Kane, Thursday; Indiana, Friday, and Pittsburg on Saturday Bight. The action of the Republican stats administration In pressing the prose cutions against men accused of de frauding the state In connection with the building and furnishing of the Rtate capltol at Harrisburg has en tirely eliminated that issue from the present political campaign.

REAL ESTATE SOLD ATJUBLIC SALE belonging to the estate of Hon. W. K. Holloway, de ceased. were exposed at pnblio sale Tuesday forenoon. The result will be followed with a good deal of interest as revealing the value of real estate and the willingness of people to invest in that bind of property.

There are four general divisions of the mail divided into four classes, first, second, third and fourth class. The second class is sub-divided into four parts and the first class is sub divided into three parts, ns follows : Postal cards, letters and first class packages. The employes at the port office are required to ascertain the amount of the different divisions of the mail and the amount of postage of each class. This is kept separate and the total sum learned eaoh day. Iu addition to this work the weigh ing of the mail is being continued Two and one-half tons of mail is sent out from the Danville office each month, this being the average for the month of July, August and Septem ber.

Increased observance of tin spirit of this occasion will go a lonj. way toward making our State pleas anter as well as a more prolitable place in which to live. Those who can't plant a tree can at leaßt resolve to refrain from needless ly destroying or injuring one. It is not. a mere question of aesthe tics. There is a practical side to the subjeot of forestration. It is a well known fact that trees constitute great natural storage reservoirs aud that the destruction of forests causes exce. sivt. floods aud low water periods, to that dtrea »s do not flow as regu UrJy as be foro. In other words, when i.eavy rain fall on large denuded areas the ab sence of trees releases in.mediatel large volumes of water that would otherwise be held in these uatural storin;e reservoirs to run off slowly duritg Ihe later periods of drought, thus avoiding floods ar one time aud dry bed at another. The State Water Supply Comtnis- Biou reoentlv reported that the steady flow of the rivers and smaller streams on v.hich the people of Pennsylvania depeud for their water supply as well as for commercial and sanitary uses, has been gi jatly interfered with by the reduction of the forest areas. The necessity for some remedial ?tep3 has long been apparent to trained observ ers aud the Legislature for several sessious past have beeu making sub stantial additions to the appropriation for the purchase and care of State for estry reserves. But while much can be done by the very capable officers of the Forestry Department the citizens generally can do much more, if they only will. There were 6.000,000 persons in Pennsylvania at the time of the last j census, iu 1900. If one-half, or one third, or one-fourth of these would I plant one tree each year, iu what a i short time would every available grow j iug place be filled. The gain in dol j lars aud cents, to say nothing of the | enhanced attractiveness of our great | Commonwealth,that would inevitably j follow such a general response to the | increasing necessity for reforestation in this State, would be beyond com j putation. Hunter Shot by Angry Farmer, j Murray Bretz, aged 35, was shot in ' the back by a farmer, said to be Geo. j or Anthony Livingston, back of Euola Tuesday morning while ho and Ed ward Weurick were hunting. if iu the Harrisburg hospital,but the re l suit of his wound cannot be told.
