DESIRE 10 ' REORGANIZE BAND There scetn* to be a sentiment abroad 111 favor of reorganizing the Danville band, which has been out of existence for a couple of years The Idea seems to have taken tool among some music lovers, who can not understand why the town of Danville should not ai in the past support a first class band, es pecially the band instruments are here and talent of a high order abounds. A few years before disbandnicHt it will be recalled that new instruments were purchased for the Danville band by money raised by popular subscrip tion, which instruments are practical ly new and should be in first-class condition Oue of the former members of the band during conversation Sunday stated that he has an instrument in his possession and that, should reorg anization be etTeeted, he would gladly take his place in the baud or baud the instrument over to his successor. Oth er members, he said, who retain their instruments are playing in Riverside, while still others are playing in the Bloomshurg band. Taking all the facts into considera tion it does seem too bad that after going to the expense of purchasing in struments our town should lose the baud and that other communities should have the benefit of the players and the instruments. At the same time no blame attaches to the members. The struggles made by the band to keep on its feet can easily be recalled. Certain it is that disbandment was resorted too only when the struggle became a hopeless one. It was satisfactorily demonstrated that a band in Danville is not self supporting—that a musical organiza tion of that sort must receive con tributions from the public to liquid ate rent, cost of fuel, light, etc., or the members will be obliged to reach into their pockets to meet a deficit which occurs each year. The latter is what the members of the Danville baud were obliged to do They got tired of it and decided to quit Without question our citizens would be glad to hear that the Danville band is to be reorganized. At the sa-ue time it would be well to bear in mind the conditions. The task of maintaiu iug a band should not be a hopeless one. If assistance from the public is essential,theu it is possible, if proper means be employed, that help iu such form as is desired could be obtained The principal thing, however, is for the projectors to be sure of their ground and not to proceed with reorg anization until aid and support is pledged that will 9nable the baud to meet its obligations without any per- Boual and pecuniary sacrifice on the part of its members. Further news relating to the proposition will be awaited with interest. PLATFORMS WILL BE IN SMULL'S Political party platforms which have not appeared in Smull's Hand book since the middle of Governor Heuny packer's administration,will he restored in the forthcoming volume, which it is hoped to issue about next i April or May. Governor Peuuypacker pruned out I the platforms and some other matter when he wished to reduce the cost of ' the annual edition,and much dissatis faction has always existed thereat. SmnH's for 1908 will have the State party platforms for 1907, but will not print the national platforms of 1904. The national platforms of 190.S will be printed the following year. No other material changes are con templated in the 1908 Smull's. The i compilers are considering restoring the digest of the election laws which was also cut out by Governor Penny packer and never restored, although the election laws passed in 1906 have been printed in the two most recent volumes. It is proposed that this di gest be brought up to date and rein serted, but nothing definite has been given out. DANVILLE MAN'S APPOINTMENT Judge George B.

Accompanied by his wife and little daughter the deceased spent several weeks in this city last summer. The visit proved especially pleasant not only to Mr, Lane, but also to his old time acquaintances in this city, who revealed by the warm handshake and hearty greeting as they crowded around liiiu the sincerity and depth of the welcome extended. Several weeks ago a letter from Mrs Lane to relatives in Danville conveyed the unpleasant news that Mr. Lane was ill of typhoid fever. Tidings re ceived at intervals were not of a reas suring nature.

Herringtou, who is now in command of Company F, 13th regimeut, N. G. P., has just received an order from the adjutant general to make a requisition for a new dress uniform coat, which is a very dressy looking atfair and will rig the guards men up as finely as United States troops. The new coat bears little resembl ance to that previously worn by the guardsmen. It is of the United States army pattern and as such has standing collar aud shoulder straps. It has cord aroend the edge of collar, shoulder straps and sleeve. The order requires the men to be measured by an experi enced hand in order that a good fit may be secured. The requisition is to be made as soon as possible. As the men are ex pected to attend drill Thursday even ing next measurements for coats will probably begin on that date. MRS. GRACE F.

The machinery installed in the brake beam department is specially designed and is very ingenious, con sisting of four steam riveters and oue "header " The function of the latter inachiue, which operates under a seven ton pressure, is to force the brake head —a device to which the brake shoe is attached—on to the euds of the brake beam. With the assistance of the steam riveters it facilitates the work very much. Up to the present the Brake Beam company has merely assembled the parts—the beam, brake head and other attachments—which it has nianufact ured elsewhere. At present the com pany has a large stock of specially pre pared material ou hand that waß brought here along with the equip ment from the plant at Eascon, and which will keep the plant running un til the rolling department is equip ped. The compauy intends to roll its own brake beams. The rolling department however, is not at all adapted to this work aud will have to be remodeled in every detail. The furnaces stand ing are of no use whatever and new ones will have to be built. The open hearth furnaces at the western end of the mill are beiug torn down, as they are in the way. The other furnaces will be left standing. The furnaces to be built will be large enough to heat stoel rails in twenty foot lengths. The roll train will have to be torn down and rebuilt,the housings as they now stand being too close together to accommodate the now rolls for the brake beams now being "turned " Neither the couplings nor the pinions in the train cau bo used with the new rolls. Each of these will be displaced bv other of new pattern, which are being manufactured by the Dauvillo Foundry and Machine compauy. East of the roll train some altera tions will have to be made in the mill in order to make room for the elongat ed bars as they leave the rolls, which will vary in length from fifty-five feet to seventy feet. About the only fix tures of the rolling department,which can bo use < without alteration are the one thousand horse power engine and fifteen hundred horse power boiler, both of which are in fiist class condi tion. Wherever possible labor saving de vices will be employed. The iron rails ; will be. lifted into the furnace by meaus of a .specially installed crane and the brake beam plant is laid out 1 in such a way that the product passes easily and conveniently from one de | partinent to the other. A new switch has been constructed, ! one branch of which takes the cars j right into the rolling department, where the iron rails to be worked over | along with the fuel is unloaded oon : venieut to the furnaces. The other branch extends up to the rear of the plant wherb the brake beam depart ment is loca d. This portion of the switch when he finished brake beams are loaded for hipment contains room ! for fifteen cars. General Manager E. M. Applebaugli, who spent Christmas witli liis family at Eastou, returned to Danville Mou day.l From Jnow on no time will be lost in getting the rolling department | of the plaut ready for operation. HOUSES ARB bring marked The board of health has taken action on the communication recently receiv ' ed from State Commissioner of Health | Dr. Dixon in relation to certain pre ; cautions that should be employed to ! prevent the spread of typhoid fever. [ Typewritten notices Monday morn ing were delivered to the inilkmen,re questing thai Hereafter in serving | houses wherein typhoid fever exists | the use of bottles be discontinued. The | practice of refilling milk bottles gath j ered up while en route was strictly j forbidden. The dairymen were cautioned to bo J very careful in cleansing bottles used ! to the end that the latter might be thoroughly sterilized and in proper shape for refilling. Each of the notices stated that the order enclosed was given 011 the auth ority of the State board of health. Ijnder the circumstances therefore, it is not likely that the order will be disregarded by any of the dairymen. The local board of heilth has also adopted the recommondation of Dr. Dixon and ordered all the houses pla carded wherein typhoid fever exists. Health Officer Benton B. Brown l>egan the work of putting up the cards yes terday forenoon He was furnished a list of houses to be marked. He had difficulty in locating some of these and night came on before all the houses were marked. [NANCES AI II I.IC. A. W itil the adveut of the new general secretary at the Danville Y. M. O. V. a UCUIIMT of notable changes and im provements have been made about the building. Abo today the gymnasium schedule for tie season is an nounced. The most important change is in the reading and game rooms. The reading has now been moved to the room iu front of the secretary's office which formerly the games occupied. The games have been transferred to the former reading room. Iu the basement the showers have undergone some much needed repairs. Up-to-date sprays have been installed instead of the worn out ones and it is now possible to get a genuine spring shower of any temperature instead of a deluge that was likely to vary any where from a cloud of steam to an ice cold torrent. GYM SCHEDULE. The gymnasium schedule for the re mainder of the present season will be as follows: Afraruoon business men's class, 4 to 5 Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; evening business men's class, 8:15 to 9 :15 Monday and Thursday.

This number is slightly below the total in 1906, when 131 mar riage liconses were issued. The show ing this year, however,is much better thau in 1905, when only 116 couples were licensed to we' 1 and is above the average The truth of the matter is that as long as humanity dwells upon the earth, as long as the heart awakens to the consciousness of love, as long as civlization endures and marriage is regarded as 'honorable in all," men and women will seek the blissful state of matrimony, and, though one year the number of marriages may fall be low the average, the next year will be pretty sure to reveal that Dan Cupid is as busy as i'ver. Apropos of the subject,Prothonotary Vincent has made some interesting ob servations during the past year. He has noted that an unusually large number of very young people are get ting married and that in very many instances the brides are older than the grooms. Duriug the past year Prothonotary Vincent issued a marriage license to probably the youngest couple that was ever uuited in matrimony in this county, the bride being only 15 years aud the groom 16 years of age. In an other instance the bride was 16 and the groom 18 In the majority of in stances both bride and groom were un der twenty-one years. DEATH OF MRS. CLAVA HOYER Mrs. Clara Moyer.a former resident of Danville, was taken suddenly ill at her home on West Second street in Berwick Sunday morning and died Monday afternoon.

Dodging the hlow that »n« aimed at hi* head lie eg,aped through about the liveliest piece of sprinting that hi' ever indulged iu. Mr. LeDuc left hi* home for a trip down tow . about S o'clock. As lie ap proach',l the Railroad street crossing of the D. L. & W. he saw two men standing on the railroad while (tooth er stood a short distance North of the crossing alongside the clock works There was nothing about the men that LeDuc unfavorably at the time. He continued liis way down the tracks, passing close to sev eral box cars that stood on the siding. While walking along in the darkness he distinguished the form of a man hiding between the cars, who at the same moment made a vigorous lunge toward him. The surprise was so com plete that Mr. LeDuc did not notice whether his assailant used his fi.-1 or aimed a blow at him with some in strument. He is sure, however, that, whatever it was.it missed his head by the narrowest possible maigin In a moment Mr. LeDu., realized that he was the victim of an attempt ed liold-up and he instinctively took to his heels. In speaking of the mat ter yesterday he stated that lie thinks he made the best time on record and did not stop running until he reached the D. L. & W. depot. He feels confident that if the blow aimed at him from between the cars had been landed, he would have been completely knocked out, after which the rest would have been easy for the highwaymen. The four men about the crossing evidently belonged to a gang, who were looking for some one to rob, As Mr, LeDuc came down the track they evid ently distributed themselves as above described.The fellow between the cars was relied upon to surprise the man passing aud to got the best of him,aft er which the other highwaymen would help to fiuish the job. The two men on the crossing stood in the electrio light anil Mr. LeDuc recalls that their appearance suggested tramps or in dividuals who would be capable of robbery. The police Tuesdav were on the lookout for men answering their description, but the fellow s, fail ing iu the holdup,evidently considered it prudent to leave town immediately AGED EXCH ANGE RESIDENT DIES William Butcher, an aged resident of Exchange, this county, died Tues day morning, aged 73 years.
