Rußsell Reed, of Burtville, Potter I county, claims to hold the best record ' for good health in the county. He is j seventy-six years old and has never j been obliged to spend a minute in bed \ on account of sickness.

In the meanwhile GOO men and boys are out of work. Montour i. BUS HEAVY CONIRACT Contractor George \V. Rockwell ex ' pects to make a big stride forward a' his work of filling op the canal this week. There lias been much delay of late incidental to changing position of the dredge, relocation of the track, i etc. These thiugs are now completed and the dredge is scooping up ashes on the ! 'meadow" west of Railroad street. Mr. Rockwell Monday stated that if he be given three weeks of good weath er he will be able to complete the hauling of ashes, which will leave him nothing more to do than to apply the course of soil, a portion of which is on hand alongside of the canal, wh°r« it was deposited when scooped ' np from the old water way befoie tie work of filling up began. It will requite several days to com- ' p!"te the filling up of that portion of the canal abnvn the culvert During several da\s p.»sr, owing to some ob stacles in tne way there, filling up has been in progress below the culvert. Meauwliil* an enormous quantity of ashes has been scooped op and remov ed from the dredge's new position west of Railroad stnet. The dredging machine, although an excellent device for scooping mud, works to some disadvantage in I nndl- j ing loose ashes such as it has to deal with at present. The little locomotive is not kept busy but has numeroos | "resting spells" while cars are being loaded. Many persons who wonld like to see 1 the canal in the borough filled up are watching the progress of Mr. Rock well's experiment very closely so as to be able to judge as to the practic ability of the former scheme. Up to the present enough has been observed | to indicate that the undertaking wonld be a stupendous one, requiring 112 not alone many thousands of dollars in money but also skilled and experi enced hands capable of organizing the work and pushing it through with- '] out unnecessary loss of time. BUSMAN'S LUCKY DISCOVERY An adventurous cat belonging to *a familv in the north end of town,came near taking a long and unexpected trip Tuesday. One of the ladies of the household had packed her trunk for a trip to Philadelphia. The bnsman arrived ; and the trunk was deposited on the baggage cart. At the last moment the i driver fancied he heard feline cries in the direction of the trunk indicating close quarters and keen distress. The lady was inclined to resent the imputation that there might be a cat i in her trunk until the latter was open ed, when out leaped puss and by a record run sought her favorite quart ers in the lionse. While the trunk was being packed | the cat, it appears, unobserved jump ed inside and escaped detection. HAD ATTEND! D 2500 FUNERALS READING, Dec. a. Anna Sophia Christman, who per- I haps attended more funerals than any other person in Pennsylvania, died yesterday in the Berks Oounty Alms house, 74 years old. Sophia claimed to have been present at the services of over 2500 persous, and there is no one in this sectioii to doubt her word, as ' she was on haud at all funeral services where they would admit her. Sophia, as she was known to every body, got. herself in trouble by her i great, desire to attend funerals, and tli is is why she was taken to the alms house. Her ouly regret while in the institution was that she con Id not get . away to attend the funerals that would I take place in this section. "I would rather attend a funeral than a wedding," said S. phia some j time ago. On her trips to funerals Sophia was ' accompanied by a small dog. DOL! AR WORTH ONLY .?7 CENTS The bullion value of the American silver dollar is only 37 51 cents. This is on the basis that liondon prices govern the world's markets. Rar silver fell Tuesday to the low est level since 1003, London prices be ing 22!ji'd. an ounce, or 48>s cents in New York. The decline is attributed to the re volutionary movement in India.

DECEMBER 3, 1908 DISCHARGED Id HIM, A habaes corpus proceeding was heard in court Monday afternoon witli his Honor, .Judge Evans, and As sociate L. W. Welliver, on the bench, to secure the release of Miss Sadie Irviu from the hospital for the insane. The petitioner in the case was Mrs. Charlotte Yost of Scranton. the legal ly appointed trustee of Sadie Irviu, the allegation being that Miss Irviu is unjustly and unlawfully restrained of her liberty and is kept in confine ment npon no criminal or supposed criminal matter whatsoever, but by reason of certain proceedings institut ed without due or legal right or auth ority by the overseers of the poor of the Danville and Mahoning Poor dis trict. of Montour county. Charlotte Yost, the petitioner, sworn. She is a niece of Sadie Irviu. A certified copy of the will of the late Amanda Irvin was offered in evidence according to the terms of which the residue of her estate was left in trust for her sister. Miss Sadie Irvin. The petitioner, Mrs. Yost, was appointed executrix of the will and trustee of said Sadie Irvin. The witness explained that Bhe had not been acting uniformly as trustee of Miss Irvin but had permitted the latter in part to manage her own af fairs. For two months Mrs. Yost per mitted Miss Irvin to occupy a part of her own dwelling in the city. Later with Miss Irvin's consent she removed her to Scranton. The witness explain ed how|Miss Irvin happened to be come an inmate of an old lady's home I in Scranton for a short time. Later Sadie Irvin was permitted to visit friends in Bloomshurg. At the i saino time the witness said she herself was taken ill and when she recovered she was amazed to discover that Inr: aunt, Sadie Irvin,was a charge on the poor district at Dauville, and that she had been committed to the hospital for the insane. Later proceedings I were started by the poor district look ing to the sale of the Irvin property in Danville, the proceeds to be applied ! to the maintenance of Miss Irvin. Dr. Meredith sworn. Sadie Irvin he says, is 73 years of age and was i committed October 6, 1908, by the ov- j erseers of the poor. He said Bhe was legally committed and described her' condition. She had a stroke of par alysis two years ago and shows a j weakening of the intellect. If she ! conld be properly cared for he agreed that she might get along all right out side the hospital. He held, however, that if the woman be a charge upon the poor district she would be better off at the hospital than at the alms house. The court made the following order : That said Sadie Irvin be forthwith discharged from the hospital for the S insane and delivered to Charlotte ; Yost, her testamentary guardian, and , that the overseers of the poor of the Danville and Mahoning Poor district j be released from the caro of the said Sadie Irvin, Charlotte Yost to pay the j reasonable cost of Sadie Irvin's main-1 tenance and the costs of the writ, to j the time of her discbarge. "FULL BLOODED INDIAN AND BOY" Our police yesterday were endeavor ing to get onto the trail of a couple of Indians who were reported as having deserted from the Indian School, nt Carlisle. During the afternoon Chief-of-Police Mincemoyer received the following telegram : "Full blooded Indian and boy de serted from sohool last night. Might be travelling by train, trolley or auto mobile. Orgnuize a thorough search. Notify stirroundiug towns Arrest and wire me. FRIEDMAN, Supt." Our chief of police and assistant both got busy. They kept au eye ou every sort of a conveyance that came to town and visited the incoming trains at each of the stations. While covering their usual beats about town they kept up a Bharp lookout. In spite of their efforts at a late hour last uight they had not discovered a single clew. It is generally believed that there iB a mistake in the wording of the tele grain and that instead of "Indian and boy" it should read "Indian boy." VICTIM OF DIPHTHERIA Annie Roney, the daughter of Mr. ; and Mrs. Thomas Roney,No. SOU Pine street, departed this life yesterday as the result of au attack of diphtheria. The deceased was twelve years of age and was a bright and affectionate child. The funeral, which will be private, will take place at tt o'clock this morn ing. Interemnt in St. Joseph's ceme tery. LOWEST DEM , RATE RECORDED i Some benign influences seem work i iug in Danville, which since last sum mer have kept the death rate down lower thau it has ever Ueen known in the past. I During last July and August tiie I deaths occurring in the district were j fifteen and seventeen respectively. This was low, but it was not considered re i markable for midsummer. In October ! the number of deaths was seventeen, four occurring »t the hospital for the insane. This was still considered a low death rate, but it was believed that the number of deaths would iu < crease in November when colder weatli i er was due. Instead of an increase, howevei, n still lower death rate is noted, the number of people who died in this district during November being eleven, the lowest number of deaths recorded I here for auy month since the law of vital statistics weut into effect. Of i the eleveu deaths reported four occur : red at the hospital for the insane. In the light of the above it is inter esting to note that iu November, 1907, the number of deaths reported in this district was twenty-live, eleven occur ring at the hospital. In October, J907, j tweuty-three deaths were reported. In the matter of births, however, there seems to be no fall iug off. The number reported duriug October the present, year is twenty-two as against twenty-three iu October last year. The showing of the report of the local registrar is likewise favorable as i relates to contagious diseases. There was no typhoid fever reported during the mouth. During November last i year eighteen cases of typhoid were under treatment. During the mouth just closed nine ; cases of scarlet fever were reported : five cases of diphtheria and two cases of pulmonary tuberculosis No deaths resulted from contagious diseases. WHAT MAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED Large numbers of veterinarians,fed eral experts, continue to come into ! Danville daily. Tuesday evening an unusual large contingent arrived, who ) yesterday, under orders, left for j different sections of the union, wher ever the disease may have a foothold. ! Some of the veterinarians that have reported here during the last few days have como from beyond the Mississippi river, one registering from Seattle, Washington. When we reflect that two weeks ago the foot and mouth disease was alarni ingly prevalent and that today, thanks ! to the drastic measures employed, the plague is effectually stamped out, one j can not help but feel that the com | munity has a great deal to be thank i ful for. The question suggests itself > what the result might have been had less effectual methods been employed. One of the finest herds of cattle in this section is found on the farm at j the hospital for the insane. There are | over a hundred head in all, finely ! bred cattle In the number are eighty j five milch cows. i There was mnch anxiety during the prevalence of the foot and mouth dis ; ease lest the fine herd at the hospital become infected, but fortunately it | escaped.

The authorities at the hospital for the insane, since the outbreak of foot and mouth disease, are not taking any risks in handling cattle connected with the institution. In the past it was customary for the hospital to do its own slaughtering. In this connection it might be ex plained that eight to nine beeves are required weekly to supply the institu tion. The steers to be slaughtered were purchased of a local drover, who : delivered the animals at the institu tion. Since the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease the hospital authorities refuse to permit any cattle to be driv en on the hospital land. The cattle needed for beef are all killed in the slaughter house in Danville, after be ing inspected,and the dressed carcasses taken to the hospital. Yesterday several very fine animals were killed. Steward Howard B. I Schultz was down into towu attend ing to some details connected with the . slaughtering JUDGE RUNYAN VISITS DANVILLE Judge Jared Ruuyau of Vermillion, South Dakota, is visiting D. R. Eck mau of Market square. Judge Rnnyan is a native of Danville. He went west and settled in Dakota about forty years ago. He is a brother of Mrs. Chris topher Diehl of Sunbury, whom he paid a visit yesterday. He notes many changes in Danville and finds only a few people that he was acquainted with when here. He is a veteran of the civil war. He was | in fie same company with David R. Eckman. The two fought together at | Gettysburg, Petersburg, Wilderness and in a score of other hard fought battles. D. R. Eckman was wounded , in the arm. Judge Runyan had a por ! tion of his left ear shot off. The two veteraus today intend taking a trip to Catawifesa to visit another comrade, Clark Guinn, who was shot .in the mouth, the bullet piercing his tongue | aud ooming out under the chin. Judge Runyan is president judge of a large district in South Dakota and has entered upon his third term. DUD BREAKING ATTENDANCE The speakers at the county institute yesterday were greeted with a record breaking audience, which packed the entire auditorium. Although a large i proportion of the seats were filied with I teachers yet there was considerable ! room for patrons of schools and others 1 interested in the proceedings of the institute. Iu the past it has sometimes happen ed that the auditorium was crowded on Thursday of institute week, but it is certainly a novelty to see the room practically filled from the opening day as has happened this year. It is a fine tribute to the ability of the speakers, who are among the best that ever ad dressed a body of teachers. Rabbi F. \V. Jesselson, D. D., con ducted ohapel exercises yesterday. The program as priuted was carried out with slight variations. Dr. Omwake continues absent and his place on the program yesterday was filled by Dr. Van Ormer, who dwelt, on the subject of manual training. Professor Albert gave a talk on the subject of Geor gaphy. Professor Albert followed iu the af teruoou, presenting "A Type Lesson iu Continental Africa." Professor E. O. Bickel, principal of the Danville high school,gave a prac tical talk on the subject of "Mathe matics " Professor Bickel has risen up through various glades of school work aud as the result of study and experience has reached some practical conclusions, which formed an interes ting theme for his address. He had the close attention of his fellow teach ers, who seemed to be in sympathy with his views. An exercise In nature study by pu pils of the first grade given by MifS Keim Tuesday afternoon wosan inter esting feature of the institute proceed ings. It very clearly illustrated her method of interesting very small pup ils in nature work. Another one of the corps of local teachers that has succeeded in creating interest in the institute is Miss Adda Hayman, assistant iu the high school, who presides over a very extensive ex hibit of specimens belonging to the department of zoology. Among the specimens are a vast variety of butter flies, crickets aud insects galore; snakes, shells, ants' nests, a chrysalis of butterfly,cocoons spun inthe school room and a large collection of artistic drawings from microscopic work. It is safe to say that every teacher at tending the institute has viewed the fine collection of specimens. At the evening session Tuesday even ing 0. C. Hitter sang a solo. M>ss Helen Mowrey rendered a piano solo. Yesterday forenoon Misses Ada Lore aud Margaret Sidler rendered a piano duett. During the afternoon Miss Kathryn Rogers reudered a vocal solo The closing address yesterday after noou was made by Dr. Van Ormer on "The Pedagogical Significance of Whittier in School Days " Like his preceding addresses it was full of philosophy and contained many gems of thought.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855 OCCUPIED Will J RUTH Mo6ier & Summers, contractors at tlie hospital for the insane, arc mak ing steady progress on the new build ings being erected there. While they have all readied an advanced stage, work on the building for the acute in sane male patients is literally on the home stretch and the building'will be ready for occupancy hy the^holidays. Externally the buildings even to the painting are fully completed. They form quite an imposing group, which adds very much to the appearance of the institution as a whole. On the female infirmary and the building for the acute insane female patients the plasterers are about through. All that remains for the carpenters to do is to put down the floors and trim up the interior. The painters have the inside of both build ings togo orer. At the building for tlie acute insane male patients the upper story is prac tically completed. On the lower story the floor is to he laid and the trim ming to he done. The painters are very nearly through with their work. The building, both by its location aud arrangement is admirably adapted to its purpose. The structure stands in an exposed position,so that its num erous windows admit an abundance of light. The walls, with their white coat, add to the effect. The building is finished iu veneered ash, which, af ter being oiled, takes on a beautiful polish. Altogether the nearly com pleted building on the interior is quite iu keeping with the outside. The lavatory system is modern and first calss. In this building the heat ing and ventilating system, heretofore described in these columns, has gone into operation and its many points of excellence are noted at a glance. The fresh air is admitted into the cellar and before it leaves the duots it is warmed over an extensive coil of steam pipe,after which it is drawn up into the building to take the place of vitiated air that is exhausted by an aspirator on the top of the building. Two or three weeks' time will suffice to complete the building for the aoute insane male patients. 1c will be oc cupied by patients soon after the holi days. The female infirmary and the building for the acute insane female patients will not be completed much before spriug. No work on the male infirmary will be done this year. TO DEFEND TITLE OF CHAMPIONSHIP William T. Speiser,of this city,who for the past nine months lias held the live bird championship of Pennsyl vania, has been challenged to defend his title by D. K Rishel, of Ottawa, this county. The match will take place Saturday afteruoou at 2 o'clock on the grounds of the Rupert hunting and fishing club. The conditions of the match will be 25 live birds per man aud 34 to 33 yards rise, interstate rules. Mr. Speiser has held the live bird championship of Pennsylvania for nine months, having won it in a match at Alleutown on April 18th, at which time he defeated George Hansel), of Lebanon, aud won the magnificent Pennsylvania State challenge trophy, which was spoken of in the News at that time. Mr. Speiser. while the holder of the cup, is open to challenge at all times, aud upon challenge must defend his title within thirty days or forfeit the cup. The cup is offered by the Pennsyl vania Sportsmen's association, with headquarters at Harrisburg, and the holder is the acknowledged live bird chniEpion of the State. The cup will be on exhibition at the clubhouse. No admission will be charged to the grounds. Wants $4,000,000 for Roads. State Highway Commissioner Huut er recommends appropriations of at least 112 1,000,000 a year for ten years to oarry out a comprehensive program of road building, including trunk lines between the principal centres ofpopn latiou This recommeudation is in dependent of the proposition to build a continuous State road from Phila delphia to Pittsburg. When l egislative Term Begins Although many persons have the idea that members-elect to the two braucht s of the State legislature do not assume office until the legislature meets the first Tuesday of next January, the terms actually begin December 1. This is governed by the coustitution of '74, which so provides. Judge Stewart, sitting at Easton, has deoided that it is necessary for a corporation, after having secured per mission of the supervisors of a town ship to erect poles along a highway, to obtain consent of the owners of propeity on whose sidewalks the poles are to be placed.
