FISHER MADE
A CONFESSION
A confession by Fisher of the
murder of Mrs. Sarah Kliuger.of Sha
mokiu, for which crime, on circum
stantial evidence, he was convicted by
his jury, sentenced by the court, and
is awaiting the time when the gover
nor shall fix the date of execution,has
just been brought to light. Although
made months ago, it is of interest, as
it fixes upon him absolutely tho kill
ing of tho aged woman, which he tried
in tho trial and in letters which he
wrote while in jail to fix upon his
wife.
While in the hospital for the insane
hero ho became intimate with an old
man there, who was incarcerated be
cause he was feeble minded. Iu a
burst of confidence one day Fisher said
to him : "What did it matter if I did
bill the old woamn? She would have
died in a few weeks anyway." The
old man told this to the authorities
and it was one of their reasons for
asking that Fisher be sent back to jail
at Sunbury. Of course on account of
his age and mental infirmities it was
impossible to introduce the old man's
testimony against Fisher at the trial,
and it was only by the strong net of
circumstances which the district at
torney was ablo to weave about tie
prisoner, that he was able to secure
his conviction, which was so richly
deserved.

WHEAT NEAR THE
.DOLLAR MARK
Whatever decline may follow iu the
piice of some commodities as the ulti
mate iesult of the business depression
it is not probable that flour quotations
will take much of a tumble if the pre
sent price of wheat is to be taken as a
criterion.
It will be of interest to our readers
to learn that looal dealers are paying
ninety-five cents per bushel for wheat
and that until a couple of weeks ago
the price paid was one dollar per
bushel. Prom the farmer's viewpoint
this is better than has frequently oc
curred at this season, even when the
times were considered more prosper
ous. Evidently the depression has not
affected the farmers inimically.
A local miller is authority for the
statement that there is still an enorm
ous quantity of last year's wheat stor
ed up in the granaries in this vicinity.
In some instances the farmers have
been deterrad from hauling out wheat
by bad roads,but in the main they are
holding back for higher prices.
The miller quoted above is authority
tor tiie statement that the farmers
generally sustained a loss in last year's
corn crop, which owing to the fact
that it failed to mature before frost is
practically unsalable and even pro
duces an inferior article of feed.
After husking, the cob remained soft
with the result that the grains could
not dry out. Wherever the crou is
stored in quantity a process of heat
ing sets in, which results in musty or
sour feed deleterious in its effects
when fed to cattle. Sixty to sixty-five
cents is the price paid by the millers
for corn iu small qauntities. Western
corn is mainly depended upon.

This Question Should Be Answer

Which is wiser—to have confidence

of poeple you know, or depend ou

following: •
Mrs. George Ricketts, living at 405
Church street, Danville, Pa., says:
"It is twelve years since Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first used in my family
and I recommend them just as highly
at this time. Mr. Ricketts had been
more or less annoyed with pains
through the small of his back which
were even more severe when lying
down than when at work. There was
also a dull, heavy aching across his
kidney regions accompanied by sharp
shooting twinges through his loins.
Knowing that a kidney inedioine was
what his system required, he procured '
a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Hunt's
drugstore. A short use gave him |
prompt and effective relief, removing ;
the pain and lameness from his back i
and benefitting hitn in every way. He j
lias used Doan's Kidney Pills on oc
casions since and lias nevor failed to
obtain satisfactory lesults."

Stores Open During Evenings.
The stores of town, which with few
exceptions, were closed during even
ings between the holidays and spring,
are now remaining open until 8 o'clock
or a later hour to accommodate the in
creasing trade. A few of the stores re
mained open last week. Monday eve
a large number of others swung into
line,leaving only about a half a dozen
closed.
The buildings,brilliantly lighted up,
with goods on display and the signs of
traffic within, afforded a cheerful pic
ture, quite in contrast with flio d»'k
and dismal scone presented on Mill
stroet during the evenings for nearly
three months past.

STUBBORN FIRE
SATURDAY NIGHT
North Mill street was the scene of a
stubbron fire Saturday night, which
baffled the firemen for nearly an hour
and caused muoh damage to two ad
joining properties.
The fire broke out in the residence
of Matthew Ryan, the well known
blacksmith, and communicated to the
residence adjoining owned and occupi
ed by Mrs. S. W. Hartline, the two
buildings affeoted forming the last
block on the east side of North Mill
street opposite the Danville Milling
company's plant.
The fire was discovered about 9:15
o'clock just as it was eating its way
through the roof. None of Mr. Ryan's
family were at home, which aoconnts
for the fact that the fire had gained
considerable headway before it was
discovered.
The alarm was sounded by the Con
tinental (ire company, which was
promptly on the ground, followed by
the Goodwill hose company. In re
sponse to a general alarm the Friend
ship fire company rushod to the scene
of the fire, but its services were not
needed. The Washington hose com
pany got as far as Mill and Bloom
streets when it learned it was not
needed.
When the firemen arrived the house
was filled with a douse volume of
smoke, which mado it difficult to lo
cate the fire. Finally it was found
that the woodwork iu the wall or par
tition between tho two houses was
burning.
Tho only way to get at the flames
was by using tho axes, chopping holes
not only into the roof, but also the
partition on both sides. Even with
this advantage and notwithstanding
that tho Continental company had two
streams on the fire and tho Goodwill
company had one it seemed to bo im
possible to make much headway iu
subduing the flames,which were slow
ly devouring the woodwork in tho in
nermost ror>»=='") '■' lo w»" hofrwenn
the two houses and sent out trifling
volume of black smoke, whidPfhreat
ened to suffocate tho firemen. It was
half past ten 9'clock before the fire
men felt convinced that they had 'lie
fire tinder control, although for nearly
an hour afterward an immense volume
of smoke continued to pour from the
roof indicating the presence of fire.
Aside from the damage done to tho
two buildings the furniture especially
lin Mr. Ryan's residence, was badly
| damaged by the smoke and the water.
J He carried an insurance of five hun
dred dollars on the dwelling and two
| hundred dollars on tho furniture. Mrs
I Hartline also carried insurance. Mrs
I Fedroff. who occupies rooms at the
I rear of Mrs. Hartlino's apartments, es
j caped loss. The most of her goods were
carried out of the house, when tho fire
seemed to threaten tho building.
Mrs. Ryan, who returned homo soon
after the fire was discovered, stated
that on leaving homo she left a lamp
burning low in the kithen. A story
soon gaiue.d currency to theoffect that
the fire was caused by the lamp ex
ploding. This theory, however, was
disproved by the firemen, who stated
that when they entered the house the
lamp was still burning. Tho fire is
supposed to havo originated iu a flno.

PREPARATORY TO
FILLING UP CANAL
Preparatory to the work of filling
up the canal and of reclaiming the
area of land embraced the authorities
at the hospital for the insane have cut
down the long row of willow trees
growing along the tow path betweeu
the hospital entrauoe and the gas
house.
The trees have been cut up into
oord wood, whioh is neatly piled up
on the ground, while the stumps have
been extracted and rolled over into the
bed of the old canal as a contribution
toward the filling up of the same.
The eye misses the long*row of wil
lows that lias graced the spot for so
many years, but the obliteration of
the canal, which is now assured,made
their removal necessary, if the ground
reclaimed is to be reduced to anything
like a good state of cultivation.
Already the deep holes caused by
the extraction of the stumps have been
filled up with earth. The wood will
next be hauled away aud doubtless
long before the canal is leveled over
the Inst trace of the willows will have
disappeared.

GYMNASTIC
EXHIBITION
A good sized audience gathered at
the opera house Friday evening to wlt
neßß the annual gymnasium exhibition
given by ttie members of tbo
Men's Christian Association, of this
city. It was the most complete and
fiinshed entertainment of its kind ever
given in Danville.
The program had been arranged with
t)ducatioual?enda in view ; the aim be
ing to show just what kind of work is
done and what results are obtained by
the physical department of the Y. M.
O. A , and at the same time present
an entertainment that would please
the eye. Both of those objects were
accomplished ia a manner that de
lighted tiie audience..
Sixty-five members ol the different
classes took part in the exhibition, all
being dressed in white. Tne opening
tablean, in which the entire oast par
ticipated, was a beautiful and inspir
ing spectacle. In each of tbo numbers
that followed, whether given by the
youngest boys and girls or by the more
advanced classes, the precision and
snap that characterized the exercises
indicated clearly careful and diligent
work by both instructor and pupil.
Physical Director J. O. Ainswortli
is deserving of much praise for the
fine showing made by his different
classes. All the arrangements ami
pi ins for the exhibition were made
under his supervision.
Dissatisfied With Life at Poor Farm,
A family consisting of husband,wife ;
and three children, charges upon the j
Danville and Mahoning poor distiict, \
dissatisfied with life at the county |
farm, stole away from the institution
tinder cover of darkness, Sunday night.
£ The husband and wife are so ut- '
tirly incapable of taking care of them- j
selves, especially at this season of the j
year, that the poor boaril m >ved by
sentiments of humanity decided to j
bring the family back to the farui. It
was not until Tuesday afternoon that
tho runaways were located near Henry
Vincent's farm in Valley township.
They were brought back to the poor \
farm by Overseer of the Poor P. M.
Kerns. It was after dark when they i
were hauled back through town last
night. They had tramped as far as
Bloomsburg before they turned their
footsteps in the direction of Valley |
township. The family carried with it j
all its worldly possessions, each mem
ber. even tho children, being loaded ,
down with bundles.

SPRING BRINGS OUT
THE AUTOMOBILES
That spring is really with us was
evidenced Sunday quite an much by
the appearance of tho streets as by the
oatLUiler. Not ouly was Mill street the
scene of a promenade which lasted
pretty much all (lay, hut the automo
biles pat in an appearance lending a
touch of color and imparting an air of
gaiety to the scene quite in keeping
with ihe spirit of summer.
In all, five automobiles were out,
owned respectively by W. G. Parse!,
V. V. Haidacher, W. J. Emerick, W.
W. Welliver and Harry Cromwell.
Few of the automobilists ventured any
further than Mausdale owing to the
condition of the country roads. The
State highway is in excellent condi
tion, however.
Since North Mill street 1b paved
there are few towns that afford any
better course for automobiles than
Danville. The river bridge and the
long stretch of paving in town afford
a delightful run in themselves while
the State highway adds a couple of
miles more, that can be enjoyed re
gardless of the condition of roads in
general. Danville posesses ten automo
biles in all and it will probably be
only a few days until these have all
come out for their initial run. Auto
mobilists in Danville have no doubt a
summer of delightful sport ahead of
! them.

The newest I'arisian fad is the be
trothal bracelet. It Is not worn on the | '
wrist, but on the upper arm, the left i 1
arm, as nearest the heart.
The fashion is said to have been in
troduced by Princess Marie Bonaparte, i
who received from Prince George of I
Greece Instead of the traditional ring \
a double bnnd of «old made to tit about
her arm close up to the shoulder.
The two broad rings of which the !
ornament consists were chased with |
an antique design and studded with !
diamonds and sapphires and had a j
clasp of diamonds.
The engagement bracelet Is made in !
many forms, however, sometimes with
bangles of gems and sometimes with
little chains of pearls looped from it.
Often it Is perfectly plain save for a
single line diamond or a small star of :
brilliants.
The bracelet must not take any fan
olful form, such as serpentine, rope or 1
openwork effects. Its significance Is
in tho double band, which is supposed
to typify the union of the couple.

New York l'rom Savanilla, Colombia,
was accompanied by a turtle, which* l

man intelligence than the officers of the
i ship or officials at tho Immigration bu- j
reati on Kills Island, where the man re
mained until he was shipped back to ;
(Colombia, gave the nnimal credit for.
The turtle appeared to hear and un
; derstand everything his master said
and at night slept on a mat outside the j
! stateroom door, acting as watchdog,

the shellfish may not be very active, it
has a grip which equals that of a full
j blooded bulldog.
