Reticence is a trait of character which has some virtues, too. A mouse seldom lives longer than three years. Persistence may be a neat virtue but is often a bad fault. Ambition sometimes leads its sub ject into queer company. Ttie man who never sees any good in his fellows should be watched. An occasional raw, dull day fore bodes the future.

IHIISIII SELL INFECTED POTATOES The subject of the curbstone maiket oamo up before council Friday night in'a wholly new phase and action was taken along a line entirely new. j Mr. .Tanohs called attention to the | fact that it is rather more than sus- I pected that vendors, mostly fanners, I when they discover that their potatoes i stored awav are infected with dry rot ( and that they are rapidly losing them, ;at once sort them, throwing out the rotten ones and harrying the ones not yet rotten to market with the full con sciousness, that although apparently sound, it will be only a short time until they will go the way of the oth ers and yield to rot. Thus, not only are town people defraided out of what they purchase, but other potatoes free from infection which they may have on hand in their cellars, are inoculat ed with the germ of decay and become a total loss. Mr. Jacobs said he heard a farmer protesting against this prac tise aud claiming that by such means was the dry and other forms of rot spread abroad Selling potatoes in market thus liable to rot, Mr. Jacobs held, was in violation of the borough ordinance relating to market. On motion of Mr. Dietz it was ord ered that the market master be in structed to closely look into the mat ter to determine whether or not pota toes or other commodities brought in to market are wholesome and market able and, if they are found not to be so, to proceed legally against the ven dors according to the ordinance. Section 3 of the ordinance provides a penalty of $35 for vending in market meats, vegetables or fruit of any kind that is unwholesome and unmarket able. The market master in the prem ises is the sole judge of the quality of meat and provisions. On motion of Mr. Jacobs it wax ordered that an ordinance be drafted to regulate the hauling of carcasses of dead animals through town. As prac tised at present, the spectacle of the dead wagon being a familiar one at all hours of the day, it is regarded as a very great nuisance and has caused much complaint. On motion of Mr. Angle it was ord ered that a load of coal be purchased for the Continental licse house. On motion it was ordered that no work be done on the Petriken cemeterv until the subscriptions from the fourth ward to the park fund be paid in.

DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY. OCTOBER 24, 1907 . ml >!(*/ , ailj ■' i; • ' PURCHASED 1 on is George D. Edmondson on Saturday purchased the opera house block in this city. According to rumor, which soerns well founded, the price paid was if 25,600. During an iuterview following the purchase Mr. Edmoudson declined to give out any figures. He acknowledg ed however,that the building had been purchased, the bargain being closed on Saturday when a payment was made. Mr. ISdraoudson explained that his object in making the investment is to provide a business for his son, Edward. He will take into partner ship with him as owners of the opera house block Heister B. and Webster B. Foust. each owning one-third. Mr. Edmondson's own interest will be rep resented by his son, Edward, who is a son-in-law of Webster Foust. The new purchasers contemplate opening a large wholesale and retail business in the3"opera house block, among the lines handled being hard ware, plumbing and gas fitting sup plies. The room, until recently oc cupied by Moore's hardware store aud as much other space as needed will be occupied by the new business. Mr. Edmondson stated that the bal ance of the payment will be made im mediately and as soon as the deed is received the opera house will be thrown open for plays. By next week It is thought that one or more attrac tions will be placed on the boards. EXPERIHENTS BEING MADE IN CONCRETE J. W. Phillips has now praotioally cotnpleted the work of making con crete blooks for one of the new dwell ings which he has uuder way 011 West Mahoning street ami lie will at once begin the work of laying up the walls. The cellar walls, wholly of concrete, were laid np early in the summer, af ter which Mr. Phillips entered upon the work of making the blocks,which was done with the aid of a modern contrivance. A trifle over two months was consumed in the moulding of the blocks. The blocks are piled np in tiers where they will be convenient while ; building. In form and composition [ they are new and aro viewed by peo ple with more than ordinary interest. Mr. Phillips has discarded the use of gravel in mixing concrete and has used sand and cement only. He has, therefore,a most peculiar and a beauti ful product,resembling sandstone fine ly dressed. Of oourse the greater part of the work lies in the moulding of the blocks. Now that that branch of the work is finished the walls will soon bo laid np, occupying probably not more than a couple of weeks. Mr. Phillips' venture embraces the first concrete dwelling house built in Danville. In addition his experiment of using sand exclusively with the cemeut is being watched with no lit tle interest, There are two buildings under way, the cellar walls of both being con structed. It is not likely that more than one building will be completed this year. While Mr. Phillips was experiment ing in his peculiar line Orville Swit zer, West Mahoning street, decided to i put concrete to a new and novel use. , I7e wanted to install a cellar furnace ! and lacking a suitable flue, he decid- I ed to coustruct a conorete chimney 011 | the outside of the house. JJe went ! about the work in a very artistic way | and built up a graceful shaft some j twelve inches square from the ground > to the usual height above the roof. The chimney, of course, is built against, the house and it is worthy of note that the effect is most pleasing, the chimney rather adding to the ap pearance of the building than detract ing from it. BOROUGH AUDITORS PRESENT REPORT The borough auditors Friday night presented their report to Justice of the Peace Oglesby on the claim of M. S. Bond for damages for the loss of a horse alleged to have been bitten by a mad dog in the borough of Danville. The auditors explain tiiat they have thoroughly investigated the mat ter and report "that no damage what ever has been sustained by the said M. S. Bond in the manner he alleges for the reason that lie failed to prove that his horse was bitten by any dog; and for the further reason that he failed to prove conclusively that the said horse had rabies or hydrophobia at ' the time it was killed."

ClffllS A STRIP OF NEW PARK Our borough fathers have been slightly jarred by making the disoov ery that the P. & R Railway com pnav lays claim to a small slice of the new park on Bloom street. To prove its claim the railway company lias produced a deed, whioh yesterday was placed in the hands of the borough so licitor. The first intimation of the railway company's claim occurred last week when Division Engineer DeMoyer came to this city to meet a committee of council in relation to a briok cross ing at the railroad on the north side of Bloom street. The proposition pre sented by the councilmeu was to the effeot that the borough and the rail road oompany jointly construct the orossing to connect the sidewalk be low the railroad with the new con crete pavement just completed along the south side of the park. The division engineer,however, had several papers in his pocket, the im port of which not only upset the com mittee's plans, but also indicated that some six feet of the new concrete pavement was on the railway com pany's land. The papers referred to consisted of blue prints and a deed for ground giv en by the trustees of the church, when the railway was built. According fo the evidence submitted the P. & R. Railway company owns a strip of ground 33 feet in width. The tract is triangular in shape so that while it includes about six feet of the concrete pavement from that point the line tends toward the west the result be ing that the borough loseßonly a small area of the new park. Just how the difficulty may be ad justed is hard to tell. As the borough fathers view it there are several weak points about the railway company's claim. The borough solicitor, how ever, will fully investigate the mat ter. ! Meanwhile the railway people have full confidence in the validity of their j claim. They console tlie committee, liowever,with the assurance that they will give the borough no trouble, as the company has no use for the ground at this time. They hint, however that it may prove expedient to exact a nominal rental—say a dollar a year— of the borough for the disputed tract | —just to keep the claim valid. DOUBLE BARRELED GUNS LEGAL Within the last few days sportsmeu ! hereabouts who wanted to observe the law to its strictest letter, were some what doubtful about going out into the fields with a double-barreled gun. The law, however, does not affect a gun of this kind. A local sportsman has learned from \ Dr. Kalbf us, secretary of tlie State game commission, that the law does not affect a double-barreled gun, and that such may be sold and used as freely a* ever. He says : ' The law forbids the use ; of an automatic guu for the killing of game or wild birds in this State. This | does not in anv way interfere with the pump gun,lever gun or any other gun : excepting the one, that through the : discharge of a, single spell ejects that i shell, throws a loaded shell into the barrel ana cocks the gun/' C.

OK BUSINESS IT POST OFFICE The Danville post office force has completed the figuies for the special S count of mail matter which was ord j ered for last week. The figures which | were intended primarily for'the use of the post offlco department are of more j than ordinary Interest to local eiti | zens, showing the immense amount of i business done at the local office, j During the six days in which the j count was conducted 11,333 letters ! were sent out from the Danville office with a postage amounting to $238.66; 3,960 postals were mailed at a cost of $40,25; 4,993 newspapers from publish ers at a cost of $4.99; 201 packages of i newspapers, free in county,were sent; 139 pieces of printed matter were sent j by individuals at a cost of $2.92; there ; were 10 pieces of first class matter, J other than letters, with a revenue of pieces of printed matter such as photos, circulars, etc, 697 with a re venue of $9.67; pieces of fourth class matter suoh as merchandise, etc, 256 I with a revenue of $17.77; pieces of ! mail matter relating to official busi j ness, 604. This foots up to a total of 22,193 j pieces of mail matter handled during the six days of the count, or an aver age of 8,700 per day. From this a re i venue was derived of $315 80. The order which was responsible for j the count was issued by the depart i ment and stated that every piece of mail matter should be counted during ! the week beginning October 13th. It was oarried out at every post office in the United States. v ADJOURNED SESSION OF PRESBYTERY The Northumberland presbytery held an adjourned session in the Grove Presbyterian church, this city, Tues day afternoon. The session was a short one, lasting au hour, but it suffic ed to transact the important business on hand; accomplishing results, the good effects of which will be felt for !,years in the harmony and the spiritu al growth that will ensue. The meeting brought a number of well-known clergymen and others in to Danville. John G. Reddiug, Esq., of Williamsport, moderator of the Northumberland presbytery, presided over the sessionß. Rev. John D. Oook of Renovo, was stated clerk. Rev. | Dr. Preston, of Hepbumville, was temporary clerk. Other clergymen present were : Rev. Dr. Hemingway,of Bloomsburg ; Rev. Dr. Keefer, of Milton; Rev. Dr. Ure, of Williamsport; Rev. Dr. Morton, of Sunbury; Rev. Mr. Calkins, of Miffl inburg and Rev. Dr. McCormack, of Danville. Among the laymen present ,were: Robert J. Pegg, David Shelhart and Gyrus F. Styer, representing local churches. The business related solely to the Washinetonville Prsbyteriun church. Tiie matter at issue was submitted to a committee whose recommendations in the premises were adopted by the presbyterj. WIFE SECURES HUSBAND'S ARREST John Keilly, Montour Row, was ar raigned before Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby Tuesday evening, charg ed with committing assault and battery on big wife, Ida Reilly. He was held for court and in default of bail was committed to jail. The alleged assault, it appears, took place Tuesday at the house of a neigh bor, where Rielly was drinking. The information, which was lodged by Mrs. Reilly, states that she entered the house when the defendant committed the assault, causing her "to fall down." The defendant was arrested by Con stable W. E. Young. On being ar raigned he pleaded "not euilty". The justice,however, deemed that a prima fncla case had beeu made out and he held Reilly for court, fixing the bail at S2OO. The defendant deolined to make any effort to secure a bondsman. In de fault of bail, therefore, he wfcs com mitted to jail to await the aotion of the grand jnry. .(■' Be Charitable.

FLOURING Ollli The flouring mill at South Danville, which has been in course of remodel ing for many months, is now complet ed and yesterday was started up. The whole mill, it is true, was not start ed,but as is usual in a new plant only sncli parts as was necessary to take in the grain that is being purchased. By this time all the new machinery has been tested and found to work perfect ly- It is worthy of note that nothing re mains of the old mill but the struct ure itself. All the old aud obsolete machinery,including the steam plant, was gutted out. New floors were even laid. The foundation walls were re inforced and many alterations were made in the basement. Everything, steam plant as well as the whole sys tem of machinery,is entirely new and of the most modern type. The owners pride themselves on the fact that the system taking it in its entirety is without a parallel in this section, probably in the State, and is to be compared only to the great mills of Buffalo and in the west. The South Danville mill, it is true, is small in comparison, but the system installed is a precise counterpart of the great mills above alluded to. Haney and Frazier have already be gun stocking up their mill, and incid entally it might be mentioned that they are in the front ranks of pur chasers and are-paying $1.05 per bush el for wheat. The modern and labor saving methods embraced are strik ingly iu evidence at every stage from the time the faimer drives up to the mill with his wagon loafl of wheat un til the finished product is ready fpr the market. The farmer bringing in a load of wheat empties the bags into a chute alongside the mill on a lvel with the wagou box. The wheat runs into the basement where it is caught by elev ators and carried to the third floor where it is received by an "Invinci ble dustless, double receiving separat or," whence it falls hack to the lower story, into a weighing bin. Into the latter only the good wheat falls, the screenings being received in a bag at tached to a Bpout or wooden conduct or close by From the weighing bin the wheat by means of elevators may be conduct ed to the stock bin on the second floor, to the big steel storage tank outside the mill, which is a distinguishing feature of the modern plant.or it may be loaded on the cars for shipment. In regard to the latter.it is worthy of mention that the wheat drawn from the farmers' wagons can be sent through the mill by means of the elev ators, cleaned, weighed and loaded in the car without being touched by hand. No grinding has as yet been done at the new mill, but yesterday the big universal bolter which is a B[>eoial feature of the new system, was started up and found to work admirablv. This bolter, which weighs a ton, moves at the rate of 190 revolutions per minute. By means of the bolter, which in its improved form, is said to be without a parallel in the Statp. six grades of j flour can be made at. the same time, i If the different gradas are not desired a'straight flour can be manufactured ! in which uljl the grades are blencjed. | In tiie process of grinding the wheat, carried from the weighing bin to the stock bin on the second floor, thenoe to'the scouring machines, on j the third floor, where the shell of the J wheat is polished and cleaned. Tbe j wheat then drops into the tempering ; bins.from whence it ia carried to oth er polishing machines where the last \ remaining bit of dirt or rust is re i moved. ! The grain next passes through ten j pair of polished steel rolls and is ready [ for the sifting process in the univers •al bolter above described. After bolt j ing, the flour is sent to the different | packing bins,where it is putin sacks. FIRST RIDE ON STEAM CARS Although she is 73 years of age Mrs. of Bloomsbnrg, left on her first journey oil a steam j passenger train this week, when she took a trip to Binghamton. Mrs. Bit j tenbender will spend several weeks | witli her son,H. W. Bitteubender, who is in business there. She is a native of Lime Ridge hot fof the past eight or nine years she has resided in Bloomsbnrg In that time she has often visited in Berwick and Lime Ridge, but lias always tak en the trip on trolley cars. This time, however, the aged wo man, who is as aotive as one forty years old, was prevailed upon to take ! a longer journey on the cars. She did so with inncli misgivings, and said she would be glad when the journey was over. London consumes over 9,000,000 tons of coal every year. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 mil mi OVER LOCI 1 The annual inspection of the Sun bury, Shamokin ami Lewistown divis ions starred Tuesday morning,and yes terday morning at 10 ' o'clock the special inspection train passed South Dauville south bouud. The special ou Tuesday went from Sunbury to Pottsville. From there it ran to Wilkes-Barre aud yesterday came down over ths local division to Sunbury, aud thence to Lewistown. There were in the inspection party about 75, among them being 50 fore men. Tliiß inspection of the local div ision is part of the annual inspection of the.Pennsylvania line east of Pitts burg, and on the findings of the in spector the following prizes will be awarded : To the supervisor having the best division $l5O ; to the supervisor having the next best division, $75; to the track foreman having the best yard, $100; to the track foreman having the best foreman's section, $7&. Another series of awards, known as the superintendent's prizes will be giv en in eaoh superintendents' division, comprising the general superintend ent's grand division. The supervisor having the best sub division, oue hundred dollars is award ed ; to the track foreman having the best foreman's section, fifty dollars, and to the track foreman in each sup ervisor's division having the best sec tion, fifty dollars. A PEDDLER ARRESTED AND FINED 1 Jacob Kline, a peddler, who endeav ! orecl to ply his vocation in Danville without paying lireuse as reqnired by the ordinance, was arrested by Chief - of-Police Minopmoyer vesterriny and i given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Dalton. The usual line and costs were imposed, which amounted to seven dollars. There are probably few boroughs but have enacted an ordinance similar to j the one in Danville, obliging peddlers I to pay a license tax for each day they are engaged. Nevertheless, judging : from the frequency with which peddl j ers fall into the police drag net. one j would think that they had lever heard of such a thing as license, j Some of the peddlers arrested affeot to be in blissful ignorance that it is in violation of the ordinance to ped | die withont paying license tax. Oth ; erstry to get out of the difficulty, when I arrested, by denying that they have I done any actual peddling iti Danville t and generally find some other excuse for being iu town. One resourceful individual, who rau across an officer I just as he was leaving one of the liouses, tried to square himself by ex- I plaining that he was hunting a board j ing place. In all cases the follows, | when arrested.affect to feel very ranch | injured and now aud then the situa ! tion becomes really pathetic as they pay over their hard-earned cash. ! In the present case the inair ar- I rested denied that lie had been pnddl j ing in Dauville. The line he handled was dress goods. The justice on Jiear i. ing the testimony believed thai lie was I guilty and imposed the usual fine,five doliorj for aaoli day engaged; i The chief«of-poJice is of fchaopinion that iu praotloally all cases the ped dlers are familiar with the provision of the ordinance, but thai sooner than pay the license tax they decide to take the risk, confining their operations as much as possible to the hack streets. BOROUGH OFFERS A REWARD The borough offers a reward Qf ten dollars for information that will lead to the arrest aud conviction of the persons who tore up the grating in the crossing at the third ward school bnilding on Tuesday night. Several councilman have taken the matter up. They say they regard it as nothing short of malicious mischief and are determined that the guilty parties shall pay for their fun. There is a great deal of disorder at night in that part of town. Owing to the approach of Halloween, the boys fancy that they have license to com mit almost auy form of mischief and they goto great extremes. On Tuesday night thry carried away the gate belonging to the property 011 Bloom street near I'ine street, occupi ed by Mrs. Johnson. The greater part of the day yesterflwv was spent in a search frtr the gate. At Werfcman'g property on Churoh street the window shutters were re moved from the house Tuesday night, while much other mischief of the same kind was committed within a ratlins of three squares. It is too early to enter upon the ■ - bration of Halloween and f.iitge** Rogers declared last night ti.n't tf.a disorder would have to cease.
