POLICE ARE
MAKING ARRESTS
There is hardly anyone who would
fail to see the necesnty and the just
ice of adopting certain rules aud regu
lations to preserve good order aud pro
tect life aiidjproperty in a municipal
ity such as Danville. Yet it is surpris
ing how many persons, in the main
good citizens, take certain liberties
when upon the streets," which violate
the borough ordinances. The police
have become aware that this spirit is
growing aud they have resolved that
it must be checked.
Monday they started out determin
ed to make au example of a few offend
ers and see whether by so doing they
could not inspire a little more respect
for borough authority.
The first fellow who paid the penalty
was a vouug man who indulged in the
folly of fighting on Sunday. He was
taken into custody by Officer Yoris,
who haled him before Justice Oglesby
where he paid the fine and costs in
such cases made and provided.
The police are now after the persons
who ride their bicycles on the side
walks, which is a nuisance of the first
magnitude and has caused a great deal
of complaint about town. A word to
the wise should be sufficient in this
relation, especially as the police mean
business and the borough ordinance
imposes a fine of five dollars on every
person who propels or operates a bicy
cel, or other conveyance propelled by
foot on any pavement or sidewalk with
in the limits of the borough of Dan
ville.
lucidentallv. it might be mentioned
that there is also a five dollar fine for
operating a bicycle at a greater speed
than ten miles an hour in the borough
of Danville; also a fine of five dollars
for operating a bicycle or like vehicle
without a signal or alarm bell, which
is to be sounded whenever the rider
approaches a person standing or walk
ing on any of the public streets or al
leys The same fine is imposed for
omitting to carry a light after dusk
and in the night time.
The playing of hall upon tin streets,
which not only exposes tie bo\s in
dulging in the game to danger of le
iug run down but which also makes it
unpleasant for pedestrians on the
streets, i.- another practice that is un
der the ban. The borough ordinance
provides a fine of two dollars for play
ing ball upon the street. Tie ball
players will do well to remember that
the police are after them.

the pain in my back. After using the

ST. JOSEPH'S PICNIC
THE LARGEST
St. Joseph's Catholic church held
its annual outing at DeWitt's park on
Saturday. A large number of persons
outside the congregation were present
aud the attendance w-as larger than
that of any other picnic held at the
park this summer.
Practically all the hacks of town
were pressed into service and they
were kept busy from early in the fore
noon until late at night. The best of
order prevailed and there were no ac
cidents to mar the occasion.
There was a good game of base ball,
iu addition to which dancing and oth
er sports were in full swing. Dancing
seemed to be the most popular amuse
ment aud there were few intervals,
indeed, from the opening of the picnic
until the close when the pavilion was
not occupied. The music was furnish
ed by Miles' orchestra.
The game of base ball between the
White Horse team, of this city, aud
the Locust Gap team, was oue of the
most interesting features of the pic
nic.
The game was a pitchers' battle,
with McOloud of Dativille having the
best of the argument, although O'-
Haunon, cf Locust Gap, also did fine
work. The Locust Gap team have a
reputation of being heavy hitters and
the fact that McClond was able to puz
zle tlieni shows he has lost none ot his
old time cleverness.
There were but four hits in the
game, evenly divided between the two
teams, while of the fifty-six men who
faced the pitcher's box. 29 were retir
ed on three srrikes. During the entire
game not one man walked.
The score :

DEADLOCKED
OVER A GlkL
g It now looks as if the School Board
of Conyngham township, which has i
been in the limelight of judical pro-1
ceedings iu the past, would again be
called upon togo through the same
experience of its ; redecessors. With
14 out of the 16 teachers in <;he town
ship appoiuted, they are dead locked
over the appoiutmeut of the two re
maining oues aud strange as it may
seem the main course of the deadlock
is over the appointment of Miss Nellie
Gerrity over whom two former Boards
of Directors have been deadlocked,and
after proceeding ousted by the court.
Three of the directors are in favor of
her having a school at Aristes aud the
other three directors are determined
that she shall uot have the school.
Neither party will yield and it looks
as if the Court would be obliged to
oust the entire board aud appoint a
new one.

KILLED IN FALL
FROM A POLE
James Hackeuburg, an employe of
tlie Middle Creek Electric company,
was killed by a fall from a pole of the
United Telephone and Telegraph com
pany in Northumberland shortly be
fore nine o'clock Saturday morning.
The telephone line from the Northum
berland exchange to the power
of the Middle Greek company had been
put out of commission by lightuiugou
Friday afternoon. As the company
was greatly handicapped by loss of its
telephone service, Hackeuburg was
sent to make the necessary repairs to
the line. While he was working on
the pole in front of the Northumber
land exchange lie accidently touched a
high tension wire of the Edisou com
pany which was strung on the pole
with the telephone wiies. The cur
rent was grounded through him, and
possibly rendered him unconscious.
Eye witnesses state that he hung mo
tionless for a few minutes, suspended
in the air by the wires on the pole.
Then his body slipped from the sup
porting wires and dropped to the pave
ment. His skull was crushed when lie
struck on his head upon the stones,
and death was instantaneous.
The deceased was aged about 25 years
and is survived by a wife and child.

SPANISH-AMERICAN
WAR VETERANS
On October 2Uth next Danville will
be the scene of a distinguished event
iu the form of the reunion of the
Twelfth ;Regiinent Association of
Spauish-Americau war veterans.
During the ten years that have
elapsed since the 12th regiment, P. V.
I , was mustered out of service re
unions in succession have been held
iu all the towns but Danville, where
companies of the Natioual guard are
located. Under the circumstances tlie
ieuuion comes to Danville this year
and the local members of the associa
tion are preparing for the event. A
meeting of the Spanish-American war
veterans will be held iu the Armory
Saturday night.
When a call was issued for troops at
the breaking out of the Spanish-Am
erican war in the spring of 18S)8 the
eutire 12th regiment, N. G. P., with
the exception of oue officer and fifteen
men, volunteered. The regiment was
mustered into the service of the Unit
ed States as the Twelfth Pennsylvania,
Volunteer Infautry. The regiment was
| subsequently recruited to 10it officers
| aud men to each company aud on June
J 20. 1808, numbered 888 officers and
men. The final muster out was con
| eluded on October 29, 18H8, audit is
imu the anniversary of this date that
i the annual reunions are always held.
According to a conservative estimate
scarcely u.ore than one-third of the
survivors of tlie Spanish American \\ ar
have ideutifieil themselves with the
association of veterans. Br-eakiug for
Company F, ouly about twenty of the
nudred or so who \oluuteereti went
back into the company when the 12th
reu'iiueut was reorganized in the Na
tional guard. With the ii uster-out as
ir.embers of the 12th regiment, I' V.
I . it would seem that a major ty of
the volunteers ceased to feel an in
terest iu military affairs and losing
the spirit of comradeship drifted wide
ly apart.
It is hardly probable that more than
four hundred survivors at most will
participate iu the reunion to be held
here iu October. During the session
an especial effort will be made to in
terest all survivors of the Spanish-
American war and iucrease the mem
bership of the Veterans' Association.
At the reunion among other eveuts
will be a parade with a popular baud,
a business meeting iu the afternoon ;a
banquet about ft p. ni., followed by a
camp fire at night.
Gol. Coryell aud Col. Clement,with
other officers and speakers, will he
present on the occasion. The Pennsyl
vania railroad will run a special train
to Danville.

Telephone "Courtesy."
Iu case you are iu a hurry when
your telephone rings, and yon respond
quickly, it is pleasant to be told,
"Hold the 'phone a minute," until
the party that called is ready to con
verse with you about some matter that
concerns himself. He is occupied, of
I course, and had his clerk or wife call
you, so that he would lose none of his
precious time in getting your atten
tion: but to make you wait in such
j circumstances is a rare exhibition of
nerve. There's another telephone
nuisance. That's the rings
you up and asks, "is that steeuty

ask who calls, but the party at the
other end refuses this courteously

Fine Herd of 65 Ouernseys.
That Moutou: county is not behind
*ny of ti.e other counties of the State
in the size ani appointment of its
dairies is quite evident
When it cntnes to size the Vincent
dairy in Valley township, which con
sists of sixty-five Gueruseys, probably
carries off the palm A short stay at
the Vincent farm affords au object
lesson to show the modern aud approv
ed methods generally employed iu
caring for cattle aud milk.
A conspicuous reature of the Vincent
farm is the cow barn 13iixoi feet. Here
the cows are stabled aud fed. The
pasture field on most farms have be
| come a thing of the past Mr. Vinc
ent feeds his herd almost exclusivly
on alfalfa c ut anil fed green.
Of the big herd over fifty cows are
milked, four to seven men being em
ployed at this work. The operation is
well worth a study. Before being
milked each cow is groomed aud her
udder is washed. This operation takes
place twice a day.
The cow barn has a concrete floor
and is cleaned out every morning.
The accumulation is not allowed to
lie about the buildiugsj but is
hauled directly into the fields.
In connection with the above it
might be stated that Mr Vincent's
big herd has just been subjected to the
tuberculin test by Veterinarian J. O.
Reed under the supervision of the
State livestock sanitary board. What
makes the test remarkable considering
the size of the herd is the fact that
none of the cows were found infected
with disease.

WATER BOY'S
TERRIBLE FILL
Charles, the thirteou-veai-old sou of
H. H. Stetler, Frosty Valley, met
with a bad tali at the hospital for the
insane Monday afternoon and sus
tained what is feared will prove to be
fatal injury.
H. 11. Stetler, father of the injured
boy, is a carpenter employed ou the
new buildings at the hospital. Charles
was employed as water bov.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock
afternoou. Just how it hap
pened no one seems to know exactly.
With his water backet the boy was
going his rounds ou the upper stories.
Among others he gave his father a
drink of water aud passed on. Five
minutes afterward he was found lying
in the cellar many feet below in a
pool of blood unconscious. On the
right side of his head was a terrible
gash about six inches in length.,
The boy was carried into the hospit
al and everthing possible was done lor
him by Dr. Meredith aud other phy
sicians of the hospital staff. The doct
ors are of the opinion that the skull is
fractured and presses in on the brain.
As time wore ou uo evidence of re
turning consciousness appeared.
Mrs. Stetler, the boy's mother, was
informed of the accident by telephone
and drove to the hospital for the in
sane. In view of the serious nature
of the injury it was decided to remove
the boy to the Joseph Ratti hospital
at Bloomsburg for treatment. Still un
conscious he was conveyed to Blootus-
I burg on the S :44 D. L. & W. train.
1 He was accompanied to the hospital
by his father.
At Bloomsburg the diagnosis of the
! local hospital physicians was confirm
ed. Monday night the boy was operated
npou, and the pressure ou the brain
removed. His condition remains most
I critical.
