REPORT IS
REASSURING
Iu view of the slight epidemic of
tyhoid fever prevailing the report of
the local registrar for November pos
sesses an unusual degree of interest.
There are several features of the re
port that are reassuring. Although at
the close of the month there were
eighteen cases of fever uuder
treatment not a single death had re
sulted from the disease; neither were
the cases as a rule of a very severe
type. Last year at the same time ty
phoid fever caused some anxiety in
Danville and the prevalence of the
disease was only a little l«ss general
than at present. All the precautions
generally used now were employed,
however, and the disease gradually
died out.
The local registrar's report is favor
able iu other respects. Only one case
of diphteric was reported during the
month and while measles are epidemic
iu Bloomsburg iu Danville the disease
has not'asserted itself to any extent.
No deaths have resulted from contag
ious diseases.
The whole number of deaths report
ed In the district for November are
25; of these 11 occurred at the hospital
for the insane.
The nnmber of births for November
is not available. Iu October the births
were tweuty, as against twenty-three
doaths, which is the first time during
the twenty-two months that the law
of vital statistics has been in force
that the deaths exceeded the births.
Iu view of October's showing the re
port of the present month as relates to
births will be' regarded with interest.

Arranging for Holiday Traffic.
Managers of express companies and
railroad officials are arranging for a
series of meetings to be held this week
and uext to arrange for handling the
holiday business. Preliminary meet
ings were held several days ago with
representatives of some of the roads
and it was announced Saturday that
the roads are in fairly good condition
to handle this traffic. It was explain
ed that the lake season is drawing to
a close aud that cars of all classes will
be more plentiful than at any time
this year. There has also been a slight
falling off in freight tonnage, dne to
the closing of some of the mills and
coke plants.
Last year the railroads were unable
to provide cars to handle the holiday
traffic and goods that had been '
shipped early in December was not |
delivered until after Christmas. The
express companies were naturally
blamed for this delay, and the meet- j
ings this week will be held with a ,
view of preventing any serious delays '
this year. The holiday rush is expect
ed to start within the uext week,, as
there is now a noticeable increase in
this business.

PRECIPITATED
THROUGH WINDOW
While the game of basket ball was
at its height in the armory Thursday
night a mishap occurred among the
audience,whioh was more "sensation
al" iu its nature thanVnyofthe plays
made on the floor. Through the sup
port of a seat giving away four per
sons were precipitated'.through the
large plate glass window and deposit
ed on the sidewalk out side of the
building.
It ocourred about 9:20 o'clock
during the last half of the game. Un
der the gallery, next to Mill street,
are several rows of benches, which are
geuerally filled. Thursday night was
no exception. On the last seat as is
customary in order to obtain a good
view of the play the spectators got up
on the bench using the back as a seat
aud placing their feet on the seat pro
per. The oombined weight was con
siderable—more than the inch board
lorming the back was designed to sup
port aud just as the persons sitting
upon it became a little too demonstra
tive iu their applause it split into two,
precipitating four spectators back
ward against the large plate glass,
seven by nine feet.
The sound of the boards as they
went to splinters was instantly fol
lowel by the crash of broken glass as
the big plate window was shattered to
fragments. No play on the floor was
"sensational" enough to hold the
audience under such distracting cir
cumstances.
There was a rush toward the rear of
the building only to find that four
persons of the audience had disappear
ed and below where they sat was a
yawning chaßin bounded by jagged
points of plate glass which marked the
course the absent spectators had taken
in their trip to the sidewalk.
Officer Voris followed by others ran
outside the building but the luckless
four had already picked themselves up
and were trying to realize how it had
all ocourred.
The four persons were all more or
leßs injured. Jacob Gearhart sustain
ed a cut on the hand. George Morri
son had his hand and face cnt. Charles
Brooks aud Miss Cameron were from
Catawissa. The yeung woman was cut
upon the face and surgical aid was
necessary.
Passed Examination Successfully.
James Donahue, Neiv Britain, Conn.,
writes; "I tried several kidney reme
dies, and was treated by our best phy

prove until I took Foley's Kidney

uie completely. I have since jvassed a

Big Exodus of Aliens,
The extraordinary rush of aliens to
Europe continues unabated aud eight
steamships sailing Saturday to the
eastward carried more than 12,000
steerage passengers. Nearly all trans-
Atlantic liners scheduled to sail with
in the next two weeks have been book
ed up because of the flood of applica
tions. The steamship President Lin
coln,(tailing next Thursday,will break
all records for the number of steerage
passengers carried by one ship. This
steamer will take 3,600 passengers in
the steerage for Mediterranean ports,
which is about iOO passengers more
than the vessel could odinarily ae
commodate.
Berths will be made up betweeß
decks and, as it is more profitable to
carry steerage passengers than freight,
several tons of freight will be left be
hind and the space used for passeng
ers. The be>-t previous record for the
number of steerage passengers was
held by the President Grant, which
last week carried away 3,200.
The Mauretania, the Republic, the
Patricia, the Koenig Albert, the New
York,the Caledonia,the Nord America
and the C. F. Tietjen took away the
12,000 passengers who sailed on Satur
day.

A BIG DEER , *
SURPRISES FARMER
While a number of our leading hunt
ers wore engaged iu an unsuccessful
pursuit of dear in the White Deer
mountains it is interesting to note
that a big two-prong buck was stroll
ing around through the cornfields of
Hush township, approaching within
two mi leg and a half of Danville.
The deer Thursday was first seen
near Klinesgrove. He passed quite
near Oharles Monitor's barn at the
head of the long hollow leading up
from the river. Mr. Moalter oould
have shot the aniuial if he had been
armed.
The deer also passed through the
Gulick farm. Mr. Guliok with sever
al men was engaged in hußking corn,
when to his amazement he saw the
deer leisurely strolling across the corn
field some ten or twelve rods distant.
He had a good view of the deer and
noted that he was a fine specimen with
two prongs. A moment later the deer
canght a gilmpse of the men, when he
beat a hasty retreat.
An hour later a party ofs hunters
among whom was George Bedea of
this city came along aud were inform
ed of what iiad occurred. The foot
prints of the deer were visible in the
soft earth and Mr. Bedea aud party
set ont in pursuit of the deer.
They tracked the buck over every
foot of the grouud he had traversed
after leaving Gulick's farm until he
reached the hollow above Kipp's run
embraced by the farm of Lafayette
Sechler, where the animal seemed to
have taken the bad of the creek and
thus was lost to pursuit. At the latter
poirft he was traveling iu the direction
of Danville and was not more than
miles distant.
There is no plausible theory to> ac
count for the deer being in Rush town
ship, remote from any of the known
stamping grounds. Alarmed by hunt
ers he may have fled a great distanoe.
The deer would probably have beea
shot before proceeding very far, if it
had not been that under the present
law a shot gun may not be used oil
deer but only such a gnu as "propels
one pellet, bnllet or ball at a single
discharge." It was only natural that
the gun of latter or legal type was not
available at tha farm houses at the
moment the deer came along.

DOUBLE HEADER .
FOR DANVILLE
The basket ball season opened in this
city on Thanksgiving, with two good
games in the armory, between the
strong Pittston team and the locals.
The afternoon game was called at
2:30 o'clock, and for a time it looked
rather cloudy for Danville, when as
though recovering from the surprise
occasioned by the fast suappy work
of the visitors,t he locals by a num
ber of successive baskets, gained the
lead, which they continued to hold
throughout the game. Score 60 —36.
The eyening game was a repetition
of that of the afternoon, ending with
a soore of 68—28
Although the scores would seem -to
indicate, games devoid of interest,the
playing at all times was fast and fur
ious. The home team had a great ad
vantage in weight,but in spite of this
had to be "up to the game" every sec- j
ond. The visitors showed the effect '
of good hard work and their team :
work was one of the features.
Altogether the games on Thanksgiv
ing were free from the "dirty" play
ing, that discouraged the attendance
during the last; few years, aud if it is
a sample of the games to follow, bask- ;
et ball will no doubt return to popular j
i favor.

Post Office Improvement,
in his" annual report Postmaster
General 'Meyer recommends the'en
actment'of postal laws that have been
demanded for many years. These
would provide for postal savings
banks, extension of the parcels post
and a special parcels post system on
the rural free delivery routes. He
also recommends the employment of
up to date business methods in the de
partment and the appointment of a
permanent official whose duties would
! correspond to those of the superinten
dent of a mill or the agent of a great
consolidated manufacturing corpora
tion. Manifestly the government
sliould'have a competent man to man
age its postal business, if it had, the
department would not show a balance
of almost seven jnillions of dollars on
the wrong sido of the ledpjer in one of
its most prosperous years.
Wherher the government) should go
into thef hanking|bnsinesß is a Tques
tion that will never recede a unani
mous answer in the negajive or the
affirmative. As places of deposit the
postollices eonld not be more conven
ient than the savings baaks/ The
timid thrifty might, however, have
more confidence in the government
institutions, which could not deprive
depositors of their money. Mr. Mey
er suggests that two per cent be paid
on deposits in postal savings banks.
. The parcels post is neceasary. At
present there is an exasperating dis
crimination both by the post office de
partment and the express companies
in the carrying of parcels. A four
pound parcel can be sent by mail from
any point in the United States through
New York to a foreign country fori4B
cents. But if the addressed
to Nfif/ York the cost will betvi cents.
The post master general thereioie sug
gests a universal rate of twelve cents
a pound for the domestic service and
that the maximum weight be increas
ed to eleven pounds. The special par
cels post on the rural free delivery
routes is for packages originating on
a rural route or at the distributing
office for that route, and would give
the people along the route a cheap aud
prompt delivery service.

Fiist Sleighs Make Appearance.
The sleighs made their appearauce
upon the street yesterday afternoon
and during the evening the Bound of
sl»i«h bells oould be heajd at frequ
ent intervals.
The sleighs got very nicely on
the paving but on any of the streets
except Mill stieet the roadbed was
pretty rough. It has been some years
since sleigh bolls have been heard so
■ early in the season.
Regardless of the fact that winter
seems to be upon us there is still a
great deal of corn to be husked
throughout the country. The outlook
on that ac<sount is not an agroeable
i one to farmers.
During October and the first part of
November it was impossible to obtain
the necessary help aud the farmers got
behind with their work. Since the
retrenching incidental to the money
stringency there has been plenty of
unemployed men, who would be glad
to obtain a job husking i-oru. But
during tlio last couple of weeks the
weather has proven unfavorable for
such work.
