Barniek, Superintendent 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.

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.

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, CHARLES C. EVANS, P. J." Mrs Mcßaney's Experience. Mrs. Mcßaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes: "I was confined to my bed for three mouths with kidney and bladder trouble, and was treated by two phy sicians but failed to get relief.

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. DoWitt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve.

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 flie to talk.
