WILL ROOSEVELT
HEAD HARVARD?
BOSTON, Nov. 4.
The report that President Roosevelt
upon leaving the white house will
succeed Charles W. Eliot as the head
of America's greatest university, was
revived today by the official announce
ment that Dr. Eliot has presented his
resignation to take effect May lit,
1909.
In spite of the fact that President
Roosevelt ha- completed plans for a
two years' absence from this country,
his name was the most generally men
tioned this afternoon wheu the unex
pected news cf Dr. Eliot's action be
oarae known iu Cambridge aud Bos
ton. Next to Mr. Roosevelt, the man
most likely to be offered the vacancy
is Professor A. Lawrence Lowell, oc
cupant of the chair of government aud
one of the most prominent members of
the Harvard faculty.
• President Eliot will be seventy-five
year old next March aud he desires to
retire while he is still capable of
work.
Main and Stand Pipe Connected.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
on the south side lias connected the
fourteen-inch main recently laid with
the new stand pips above the tank. A
much better service will be obtained
than was formerly had with the small
er stand pipe and the eight inch main.
Formerly trains a great
deal of time taking water and as a re
sult the crossing was blocked much of
the time. With the iucreased capacity
of staud pipe and main the locomo
tives can take water in a small frac
tion of the time formerly occpuied
and the crossing should not be block
ed much of the time.
The raising of the tank was origin
ally included in the improvement, but
later it was decided to omit this part
of the work at present. It is said that
in the near future a new tank will be
erected near the site of the present one
and that the two will be used in con
junction.
BLOCKADED
Every Household in Danville
Should Know How to Resist It.
The back aches because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will ache no more.
.Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
tit's the best proof for it comes from
Danville.
Mrs. Charles D. Whispell, living at
a 63 Mill street, Danville, Pa., says:
"My experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills] justifies me in recommending
them as a remedy of merit. For some
time prior to usiug them, I had pains
through the small of my back and
kidneys, and at times, my back was
so painful that I could straighten aft
er stooping. At night I was unable to
assume a comfortable position and in
the morning I would arise scarcely
able to get about A dull languid feel
ing sapped all my energy and I felt
miserable. Doan's Kidney Pills were
fluallv recommended to me so highly
that I procured a box at Hunt's Drug
store, and their use promptly relieved
the paiu in my back. After using the
contents of the box, my strentgh aud
energy returned, and the backaches
and other disorders of my kidneys dis
appeared. I give Doan's Kidney Pills
my highest endorsement."

SMALL CHILDREN
IN PERIL
The fire department Monday aft
ernoon was called out by a small but
dangerous blaze, which oocnrred in
dwelling No. 202 West Mahoning
street, occupied by Charles Hillborn.
During Monday afternoon while
her husband was at work, Mrs. Hill
born according to custom put her two
little children to bed for a nap. About
three o'olock while busy with her
household duties she heard the chil
dren crying.
There was a note of fright aud ter
ror in their cries, which induced lor
togo up stairs at once to see what was
the matter. Her feelings can be im
agined when on entering the room she
fouud a clothes basket containing the
week's wash in a mass of flames,
which had already communicated
with the woodwork of the room.
With rare persence of mind after
getting the children out of the room
Mrs Hillborn rushed for a bucket of
water, which she dashed upon the
burning clothes. It required several
bucketfuls of water to extinguish the
fire.
The news of the file was telephoned
to the engine houses and the bells were
rung,in jespoute to which there was a
general turnout of firemen. The
Friendship and the Continental tire
companies both arrived at the scene ot
the fire, but their services were not
needed.
The hoiue, which is owned by John
Hunt, was only siightv damaged. Iho
week's wash, howevir, was totally
rained. Tiie feature cf the five was the
deadly peril iu which the two small
children were placed for a short, time.
How the file originated is not known*
The children are too small to give any
account of what might have taken
place iu the room to cause the fire.

WILL SHORTER
THE BLOCKS
The Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany is about inaugurating an im
provement ou the South side, whioh
will effect considerable changes about
the station and facilitate the move
ment of trains.
At present the station is the begin
ning point of two blocks,one of whioh
extends eastward to Bluff a distance
of about seven miles and the other
westward to Wolverton, five miles be
low. The blocks are longer than is
convenient and under the rules the
passenger trains are now aud then held
up quite a while.
The shorter the blocks the sooner
they are cleared of trains. The one
way, therefore to obviate delay iu the
running of traius is to reduce the size
of the blocks.
This is precisely what the Pennsy
company proposes to do on the south
side. A new block will be cut out of
the two lying between Bluff and Wol
vortou. Already a tower lias been
brought over from theLewistown div
ision aud will be erected at Boyd's
station. A tower at DeMoyer's farm,
about a mile below South Danville,
was erected last summer.
The station will be on a new and a
relatively short block between De-
Moyer's farm and Boyd's station. The
operator at present installed in the
station will be removed to the new
tower a mile below. The depot will
tc without an operator but will com
municate with the tower by 'phone.
Work on the improvement, it is un
derstood, will go forward at once. The
tower intended for Boyd's is lying on
a car at the south side.

WHLRE DtiER ARE
SHOT BY THOUSANDS
Irvin A. Snyder, landlord of the
City hotel, who. with H. S. Albright
of Orwigßburg, returned home from a
hunting trip to Maine Friday night,
on Saturday in a very entertaining
way gave an account of some experi
ences iu the "Pine Tree State.''
The deer he said are very plentiful,
although the hunting laws, as in this
State, are rigid,two deer constituting
the limit for oue man.
Natural conditions up to the present
have not been very favorable for hunt
ing owing to the drought, which pre
vailed in Maine as well as here. The
woods aud bnshes being dry the deer
could hear the hunters at a consider
able distance ami had a good opportun
ity of getting out of the way. The
drought in Maine was broken about
the same time as here and since then
there has been rather too much rain
to make hunting agreeable.
Forest fires, too, were factors that
had to be reckondeil with. The camp
at Cedar Lake where Mr. Snyder was
domiciled was surrounded by lire and
things looked rather blue for awhile.
Thousands of acres of valuable timber
were destroyed. The numerous fires
of course, interfered with hunting.
Nevertheless, the season is consider
ed a successful oue. Up to last week
832 deer had been shipped out of the
State by hunters,while during last sea
i son a grand total of nearly 5000 deer
| were shipped out of the State.

PLAYED TO
A STANDSTILL
Before a large auil enttiuniuntic crowd
at DeWitt's park on Saturday the Dan
ville high school foot hall team played
the Btrong Berwick eleven to a tie
score of o—o. This is the same team
that two weeks ago defeated the locals
by a score of 7—o.
The game was exciting from the
start. The local bovs, determined to
wipe out their defeat at Berwick's
hands in the former game, played an
aggressive game, time after time plac
ing the leather within a few yards of
their opponent's goal, where unfortun
ate fumbles prevented a score.
Right halfback Dailey was easily
the star of the game. He played a
Btroug game on defense and was re
sponsible for most of Dauvile s gaius,
several times tearing off ten yards
runs. Iu the first half an cnside kick
by Price before being touched by any
player,rolled over the goal line where
Edmoudson fell ou the ball. Danville
lost a sure touchdown, as according to
the rules of the game, if the ball had
been touched the score would have
counted. As it was a toucliback re
sulted.
For the remainder of the game the
ball seesawed back and forth, most of
the time being in Berwick's territory.
The one unpleasant feature of the
game was the conduct 'of the crowd
which persistently forced its way on
to the field greatly interfering with
the players.
Beiwick played a clever kicking
game their onside kicks being well
placed aud well handled and seldom
failed to gain after thov had tried
Danville's line aud euiis in vain.

Mow Halloween Was Observed.
Halloween was observed Saturday
I night in a manner that did full honor
|to the traditions of the past. A nois
er or more hilarious demonstration
j probably uevcr took place.
I The uiasqueraders began to whoop
j it up shortly after 112! o'clock and they
; kept at it until about 11 o'clock. The
injunction of the chief of police for
bidiiiug the marking of clothing with
charcoal, flour and the like was prob
ably pretty generally heeded, but chalk
in all colors was employed by the
masqureaders to as great an extent as
in any year of the past.
Mere pedestrians had a hard time of
it and the back of many a poor fel
low's coat was badly marked up. Un
doubtely some of the suits that were
out Saturday night will have to be
subjected to a process of scouring be
fore they will become presentable.

PIGGERY ALMOST
00IPLETED
All the buildings including the pig
gery at the hospital for the insane are
under roof; outside work is generally
iiuished up and things are in readi
ness for winter, during which the in
terior of the buildings will be carried
to completion.
Steam heat is installed in both the
building for the acute insane male
patients and the building for acute
insane female patients. These build
ings are both warm and comfortable
and will be kept iu this condition dur
ing the winter.
The plastering is finished in the
building for the acute insane male
patients: in the corresponding build
ing on the female side three days
more will complete the plastering. Iu
the female infirmary the plastering is
about one-third done.
At the building for the acute male
patients the painting ou the outside
iB well under way. In a couple of
weeks, time the plaster will be dry
enough to admit putting on the trim
mings, after which the interior will
be painted, which will constitute the
finishing touches of this building.
The building should be ready for oo
oupancy by the holidays. The other
buildings under way will not be com
pleted before spring.
THE PIGGERY.
The piggery is completed with the
exception of the concrete floor. The
division of the building or the install
ing of the pens aho remains to be!
done. As might, be inferred from the
cost—nearly itlOOC—the building shows ;
up oddly as a "pig pau. " Never the- ]
less if one may rely ou the opinion of
practical men, the money is well ex
panded, as the building will be well
nigh indestructible.
The piggery is 112 feet long and 28
fret and ii inches wide. In addition
to its concrete floor it has a elate roof
and is fire proof throughout
That the building will be heated
with steam is not literally true. On
ly four pens devoted to breeding will
have steam heat. These will be en
closed with glass. The builiing will
be surmounted with fourteen star ven
tilators. Electric light will be in
stalled.
The piggery is two stories in height.
The pens in the upper story on the
west side open on a wide veranda, di
vided to correspond with the apart
ments within. The porch iu turn
opens on a uuuibor of small yards cor
responding in size with the peus with
in.and enclosed with a neat iron fence
containing a gate.
The lower story constitutes a base
ment The upper story ou the east
side contains a row of long concrete
steps of a sort designed especially for
hogs, which lead down from each pen
into a small yard enclosed with an
iron fence as ou the west side.
The high priced hogs will be kept
upstairs, while the mere plebeians
among swine will be assigned to ttie
lower story.

THE ORIGIN OF
FOREST FIRES
What starts these forest Area? Thia
question has been asked over and over
again this summer by readers of the
acoounts of the destructive tires which
have been raging in all parts of the
oountry.
Oampers and looomotivea, is the us
ual answer. Many of the other thingß
which start blazes iu the forest are
forgotten. It is true that perhaps one
half to three-fourths of the forest fires
do begin as a result of the oarelessness
of some camper, or from sparks flying
from looomotives,but there aro a num
ber of things which set the woods
afire.
A complete report of forest fires on
the private forests of the country and
their causes is not kept by anyone.
Uncle Sam, however, is most careful
to account for the damage done by the
blazes on his timberland under forest
administration aggregating about 168-
000,000 acres, and each year the total
area burned over,the timberland burn
ed over,the amount of timber destroy
ed and its value, the cost of fighting
fires and the causes of lires are care
fully checked up. These reports are
made at the end of the calender year,
and the announcement of this year's
losses will therefore not be known for
more than two months.
Last year's figures, however, give a
good idea of the thinsa which cause
fires in forests. Of tho 1,355 fires dis
covered on the National 1-crests last
year,all of which were checked by the
rangers before they had I urued over
fourteen hundredths < 112 one per cent.
(. 14 of 1 per cent.) of the National
forest area,campers caused 3K4, while
railroads followed ne\t. with 273;
lightning came next., witli liti; donkey
engiti-is used n 1 uinb ring operations,
fourth, with 05 ; carcl-'-s l iush-burn
int» by hooie-tna eis elearii g laud,34;
fires caused b> inceudiarus and those
set by herders aud hunters, 30. For
ixore than 400 of the fires the cause is
