STEPHEN JOHNSON
PASSES AWAY
Stephen Johnson, a lifelong aud
highly esteemed resident of this city,
died at his home, Church street,at 1 :55
o'clock Saturday morning. Although
he had been failing for some time
death was quite unexpected.
Had the deceased lived until Feb
ruary 22tnl next he would have been
seventy-five years of age. He was a
man of vigorous constitution. All
through life he enjoyed remarkably
good health, his last attack beiug pra
ctically the only sickness he ever ex
perienced.
For two weeks prior to death he was
considerably iidisposed, his ailmeut
being one incidental to advancing
years. No alarm was felt, however,
until Friday, when pueumouia de
veloped. JDuring the night his condi
tion became somewhat serious. The
end at that time, however, was hard
ly dreamed of aud when death ooenr
red it came as a great shock to the
family.
Stephen Johnson was born in Para
dise, Northumberland county,but liv
ed for the greater part of his life in
Danville. He was very widely known.
For thirty-five years he held the posi
tion of night puddle boss at the Head
ing Iron works. He enjoyed the esteem
and affection of the large number of
workmen employed under him during
his long career as puddle boss. He
was a good citizen, a man devoted to
his family and who labored to pro
mote every good and worthy cause.
He was a veteran of the Civil war.
He served first a throe-months' enlist
ment in the Columbia Guards. He
later enlisted in the Fourth New York
cavalry where, he served three years.
The deceased is survived by his wid
ow and three daughters: Mrs. S. W.
Morgan,of Danville; Mrs. D. W. Mor
gan, of Philadelphia; and Miss Olive
Johnson, the well known druggist, of
this city.

of it. What better proof of merit can
be had than such an endorsement:
Leo Metzger, living at 2(U West
Mahoning street, Danville, Pa., says:
" About a year ago I suffered so sev
erely from pains through my back
that I was scarcely able to walk, and
it was difficult for me to straighten
when first arising in the morning. At
times there was a dull pain across my
kidneys while at others sharp slioot
ing twinges would pass through mv
back and would be especially severe if
I contracted a cold. The kidnev secre
tions were in a disordered condition,
being too frequent in action and pass
ages attended with a scalding sensa
tion I had read so muoh about Doan'e
Kidney Pills that I fiually had my
wife procure a box for me at Hunt's
drug store. I only used half tlie con
tents of one hox when a decided
change for the better in my condition
resulted. From that day to this I have
had no trouble with my back or kid
neys despite the fact that I hnve done
a great deal of heavy work Doau's
Kidney Pills have my hearty endorse
ment."

! SHERIFF WINS
THE CASE
Judge Evans Saturday morning hand
ed down au opinion in the case of D
C. Williams vs. the County of Mon
tour, which was an aotion brought to
recover §9.60 for boarding Andrew
Kodack, and Michael Manerick, two
prisoners who served a term in the
' county prison for illegal car riding.
Judgment was entered in favor of the
sheriff.
The circumstances of the case will
readily be recalled. The two above
named men were arrested for illegal
oar riding last summer. The county
commissioners, who oppose the prin
ciple of keeping oar jumpers in jail at
the county'B expense, upon learning
of their commitment ordered them re
leased.
Some doubt arising as to the legality
of this course the men were re-arrest
ed at their homes iu the coal region
and recommitted to the jail of Mon
tour county, where they served their
full sentence of ten days.
After the discharge of Kodack aud
Manerick the plaintiff as sheriff de
manded of the county commissioners
the sum of $9.60 for boarding the con
victs.
The county commissioners refused
to pay the 6aid sum or auy part there
of for the reason that the act of May
24, 1878, fixes no legal liability on the
part of the county to pay costs aud
charges.
The act provides in part that auy
person found entering or being upon
auy railroad engine or car contrary to
the rules ot' the person or corporations
owning or operating the same aud
with the intention of riding thereon
without paying fare shall upou cou
victiou forfeit aud pay a penalty of
not less than |5, nor now more than
sls, which penalty shall be paid to the
treasurer of the school district in
which said offeuse wat coininittad for
the use of said district and suoh per
son so convicted shall be committed to
the county jail of such county for a
period uot exceeding ten days.
It has been definitely decided by the
supreme court that justices of the
peace before whom convictions are had
and sentences imposed under the act
of May 24, 1878, for trespassing on
trains cannot recover their costs from
the county for the reason that the act
does not make the county liable for
the costs. Crawford vs. Barr 93 Pa.
859; and Godding vs. Bardford coun
ty, 116 Pa. 53.
"Kodack and Manerick," the opin
ion continues, " were arrested,convict
ed aud committed to the county jail
by the justic9 of the peace under the
provisions of said act. The sheriff ac
cepted the commitment and received
and boarded the prisoners in the coun
ty jail for a period of ten days. We
scarcely see how he could have done
otherwise. The act iu plaiu terms
authorizes the justice of the peace to
make the commlt-neut to the county
jail.
"It is one of the duties of Hie sheriff
to board the prisoners of the county.
The compensation to be paid for the
performance of this duty is governed
by the act of assembly passed for that
purpose. Apple vs. Crawford Co. 105
Pa. 802."
The act of April, 11 1856, P. L. 314
determines the county's liability aud
fixes the allowance fur boarding pris
oners, which is not to exceed twenty
five cents per day for each prisoner.
"And now to wit, December 5,1908, in
accordance with the terms of the case
stated judgment is eutered in favor of
the plaintiff for nine dollars and sixty
cents.
By the Court,

CHRISTMAS SIPPING
ON IN TOWN STORES
Christmas is less than three weeks
away and soon the stores will be
thronged with holiday shoppers.
From day to clay the crowds will
grow greater and with it will come
increasing inoonvenience to the par
chasers. Everybody knows what a
nightmare Christmas eve shopping is.
Everybody ought to know how much
better it would be to begin when the
stores are at their best and when the
olerks have more time to attend to
customers. Usually the week before
Christmas is the time when most of
the buying is done. This means that
an immense volume of business is
crowded into six days and evenings
aud there is little wonder that there
is so much dissatisfaction. It is re
markable that the storekeepers man
age to give any satisfaction at all.
Christmas buying is at the best a
serious undertaking for there are all
sorts of fancies to accommodate and
the purse must always bo consulted.
The average purchaser wants to secure
the best he or she can for the money
at hand, and to wade through crowd
ed stores, catch the attention of any
particular clerk and getting waited on
quickly is an art that few have mas
tered. Then there is the usual habit
of putting off to a late day ttie selec
tion of the gift that is to make some
heart glad. This is the worst possible
thing to do and it is strange that so
many persons practice it
The one great remedy is togo early
—early in the month and early in
the day. The stores will be open
every evening uutil Christmas That
is good for those who cannot shop iu
the daytime. There are euough of
these to keep every store iu Danville
busy enough. How fine it wonld be
to leave the nights to those who can
not ccome at any other time? How
much bolter it would be if the others
would shop in daytime, especially in
the morning.
The morning is usually the dullest
time for a store. It lias the great ad
vantage of giving you more opportun
ity to inspect goods and to make care
ful selections. The storekeepers would
hail with delight any distribution of
business over the entire day instead of
orowdiug it all into a few hours.
Nerves would be preserved,time would
be saved.tempers regulated and money
saved. Theu the satisfaction to every
body concerned would in itself go a
long way toward making a more gen
eral Merry Christmas.

TOWNSHIP HIGH
SCHOOLS BGGOHHENDED
The poblio school teachors of Mon
tour county in institute assembled Fri
day recommended that the term of
the oouutry schools be increased to
eight months, and that towuship high
schools be established throughout the
oounty.
The closing session of the institute
was by no means the least interesting.
Ur. Van Ornier took leave of tiie teach
ers and left the institute at 11:30
o'clock,in order to be prepared to take
the 12:10 train for Philadelphia. His
final talk, which had as its subject,
"Work or Play?" was exceedingly
felicitious and instructive, lie brought
out the point that while all labor is
ennobiiug, whether it is to be regard
ed as a disagreeable task or merely as
play depends on the attitude of the
person. He enlarged considerably on
the philosophy of Tom Sawyer and
showed that to the person who loves
to be employed—who appreciates the
true nobility of labor—any task will
be play, while to the person who would
rather be idle and who works only be
cause ho has to, any labor will be dis
tasteful and in that sense will be
" work."
The Rev. William Brill, pastor of
St. Paul's M. 13. church, conducted
chapel exercises Friday morning.
Professor W. A. Wilson occupied the
first period with a talk on the subject
of "Arithmetic in the Third and
Fourth Years ot School." The report
of committees followed, after which
Dr. Van Ornier delivered his closing
address. Professor Wilson occupied
the lust period with a continuation of
his subject, "Arithmetic."
Before closing County Superintend
ent D«rr made some remarks to the
teachers, thanking them for their in
tetest and attention and adverting to
the fact that with the exception of
Monday,when there was one absentee,
each day of the institute every teach
er of the county was present. This is
indeed a remarkable showing and the
oldest teachers are unable to recall a
time when suoh attendance was ever
recorded before in Montour count3'.
As Superintendent Derr regards it, it
demonstrates the deep interest that
the teachers of the county feel in the
institute and matters pertaining to ed
ucation.
County Superintendent Derr advised
the teachers to prosecute their studies
aud endeavor to advance in the profes
sion. Those who hold professional
certificates— which, lie said, under
himself are good for only three years
—he advised to apply for a permanent
certificate. Those who are graduates
of normal schools were advised to take
up uew branches each year aud not to
lose their interest until all the sub
jects are added to their diplomas.
Those who hold permanent certificates
were likewise requested to take up ill
succession all the subjects that remain,
to the end that in process of time their
certificates might have all the value
of a normal school diploma
The resolutions, which were quite
comprehensive in their scope, were ad
apted without chaupe or a dissentiDg
voice
Thanks iu usual form weie extend
ed to the instructors, the ministers cf
town, mus'ciaus and others who as
sisted to make the institute a success,
also to the minister aud the board of
trustees for the use of the lecture
room of the Mahoning Presbyterian
church, Thursday night.
It was resolved that teachers' meet
ings and local institutes are helpful
agencies in school work and that all
teachers should attend them and par
ticipate : also that the beautifying of
all school grounds aud buildings is a
great moral force aud that it be recom
mended to the several school boards of
the couuty for their consideration.
It was recommended "that the term
of the country schools be tuade eight
months instead of seven so as to plaoe
them more nearly on par with city
schools."
It was recommended that township
high schools be established wherever
feasible aud that all schools iu the
rural districts be supplied with the
proper apparatus.

ANOTHER MURDER
IN NORTHUMBERLAND
Another bloody murder was added
to Northumberland county's long list
Friday night—the one hundred and
eighteenth in twenty-one years. The
viotim is an Italian saloonkeeper nam
ed Joseph Delago.who ran a pool room
in connection with his bar atShamok
in. He had been a resident of that
town for twenty-five years and was
well-to-do. He had amassed a com
fortable fortune, and the fact that
many of his oountrymen were indebt
ed to him for loaDs gives rise to the
suspicion that there was a plot baok
of ills murder.
The murderer's name is Angelo
Moravi, an Italian who has been in
this country only a couple of months.
Moravi, with two fellow countrymen,
Louis Ferrari and Joe Lanori.were in
Delago's place playing pool. A dis
pute aroHe and Delago went to separ
ate tiie men, when quick as a flash
Moravi drew a stiletto and struck Del
ago in the neck, the blade penetrating
the jugular vein, aud then before the
victim could turn arouud, thrust the
weapon into his groin and severed the
semoral artery. Delago stepped back
ward aud fell aud died in a few min
utes. Moravi ran from the building
aud boarded a Shamokin and Edge
wood car and a' far riding a few
squaree jumped off aud got ou a Mt. ,
Carmel car. The police were prompt
ly notified. Two of ttie State con
stabulary hastened to Mt Oiirmol and
found Moravi standing at a bar drink
ing. When he learned that the officers
were the State constabulary he gave
himself up. His bauds and clothes
were covered with blood—even the
money in his trousers pocket was cov
ered with blood. He was taken back
to Shamokin Saturday for a hearing,
and held I >r court without bail. His
two companions are in enstody aud
w II be hell «s witu 's>e- and possibly
as accomplices in th < crimi Both re

ing that the murder is a Black Hand
plot, aud that Moravi was brought ever
to do the job.

Rural Carrier's Horse Was Shot.
The horse of Charles Ruckle, mail
carrier ou Danville R. F. D. No. 1,
was shot while the carrier was cover-
I iug his route Saturday atferuoon. The
I bullet entered the fleshy part of the
animal's hip and the wound is not
j serious. The shooting is surrounded
I with mystery. *
Mr. Ruckle had arrived at a poiut
ion his route near James Hilkert's in
| the vicinity of Mooresburg, where
: fields skirt the road on both sides. Of
a sudden a shot rang ont and the car
i rier noticed his horse stagger, aud
| then saw the blood spurt from a
wound in the right hip. He immedi
ately alighted but could see no one.
He drove to Mr. Hilkert's place where
remedies were applied. The horse's
condition prevented him from cover
ing the rest of his route.
i The only explanation for the shoot-
I nig that seems at all likely is that
someone was doing illegal hunting.
Mr. Ruckle does not. entertain the
theory that the shot was iutended for
himself, as he kuows of no enemies on
the route.
