J. Barnick, Snperintendent LEFT PRISON IN DISGUISE Au escape from the Northumberland county jail at Suubury unique in its audacity and the simplicity with which it was carried out was made on Sunday afternoon. A baud of Gospel workers were there holding religious services. They had instilled the doctrine of repentance into their hearers aud had told them that with reform after their release there was still a chance for them. The prisoners entered heartily into the ser vices and many were doubtlessly be nefitted religiously by them. During the services a prisoner by name of Leitzel, who was serving a sentence of six montlis for a minor crime, shaved his beard, put on bis best clothes and donned a pair of green goggles to disguise himself effectual ly. When workers left the prison he went with them as one of them. That he was not a member of the little band of missionaries was not suspected until after they had gone. When he was missed it was too late to apprehend him, as lie had made good his escape. Leitzel still had about three months of his sentence to serve. His escape was hardly worth the danger of being caught, with the prospects of a long additional term being imposed. 112: AS IL YOECIDEIJ. This Question Should Be Answer ed Easily by Danville People.

Mr. Ricketts had been more or less annoyed with pains through the small of his back which were even more severe when lying down than when at work. There was also a dull, heavy aching across his kidneys regions accompanied by sharp, shooting twinges through his loins. Knowing that a kidney medicine was what his system required, he procured a box of Diau's Kidney Pills at Hunt's drug store. A short use gave hint prompt and effective relief, re- j moving tlie pain and lameness from his back and benefiting him in every I way.

UNVEILING OF MONUMENT It has become reasonably certain that j the soldiers' monument will not be unveiled this year. More than this, it ] begins to look equally doubtful wheth er the memorial can be completed. It is said that two weeks of fair weather would make it possible to complete the work. But winter is up on us aud thus far the climatic eondi i tiouß have not been of a sort to war rant the belief that the winter will be a mild oue. Days fair enough to per mit the work to proceed may be "few and far between." It is now too cold for concrete and, thus, work on the base can not pro ceed. The time at present will be im proved by chiseling down the faces of the four granite blocks on which the statues are to stand iu order to fit them for receiviug the bronze tablets. To facilitate this work the stones will be ; removed from the monument aud re- I placed after they are finished. It is ! altogether likely that with the com pletion of these stones work will be suspended until next spring. Since it is reasonably certain that there will ha no unveiling this year the veterans are giving thought as to 1 the proper date for the cerouiouy next -'rill*. At first all turned instinctive ly to Memorial day as the logical time when the shaft should be unveiled. It now appears that there is oppostion to Memorial day as au all-arouud suit ! able date. It is not denied that the ! day would prove appropriate enough !in a sense. But it is urged that there are many thiugs to tako into consider ation. For instance if au unveiling i is planned in which veterans of other lowns are to participate Memorial day would logically be the most unsuitable ; time to select.as on that occasion each of the Grand army posts of the coun try will have programs to carry out nt i home in honor of their own deceased j veterans. In this connection it might be mentioned that no other ceremony is contemplated in connection with the unveiling here than that of the most imposing sort, in which will participate veterans of many surround ing towns. It is not unlikely that an early date in the spriug may be select- I ed. A Personal Appeal.

It has become pretty evident that the work of filling up the canal at the hospital for the insane can not be ful ly completed this wintor. Mr. Rockwell Mouday explained that so long as the weather remains as at present the hauling of cinder will lie continued. Colder weather, how ever, sneh as may reasonably be ex pected along iu January, will put the whole plant out of commission. By that time, however, he hopes to be done hauling cinder. By Christmas he expects to have the filliug-up completed above the culvert at the hospital entrance. The work betweeu the gas house aud the culvert has progressed very slowly owing to the depth. Immense quantities of fertile earth were excavated aud the replacing of this on top of the cinder •vill constitute not a small part of the work to be done uext spring. Below the culvert the filling up will proeeed more rapidly than above it. Ten days of fair weather will be sufficient to finish up this branch of the work. Guilty of Counterfeiting.

School Board's Real Object. 4 remarkable degree of interest has been Btirred up by the agitation iu the sohool board relating to the change of curriculum, showing that citizens generally have the welfare of the schools at heart. Lest some labor under a misappre hension it is proper to state that the change of ourriculum in view does not involve a return to the teaching of the "three r's" in the general acceptation of that term, but only the adoption of such a course of Btudy as will make it possible to give a more extended drill on those three useful brauches. Neither does the board reflect on the ability of the borough superintendent or any of the corps of teachers. It has been found that the Danville High School, owiug to its ourriculum, rauks second instead of first as it should, considering the able corps of teachers employed, the amount of money invested in apparatus, &c. The object of the board is merely to make such changes as will add to the practi cability ol the course. Hoarse coughs and stuffy colds that may develop into pneumonia over night are quickly cured by Foley's Honey and Tar, as it soothes inflamed membranes.heals the lungs,and expels the cold from the system.

The Milton Standard claims there have been 118 murders iu the past twenty-one yoars with but ono hang ing. The Sunbury Item inclines to the view that there have not been more than 40 or oO killings in the same period. Other papers have different ideas,aud they are at each other ham mer aud tongs. Some of the writers see the cause of Northumberland's "bloody record" in the courts, and the two president judges have been coming in for a good share of condemnation. To settle the controversy Judge Clinton R. Savidge of Suubury, has decided to compile a murder directory of the county, to show just how mauy killings have taken place and just which towns are to blame for the crimes. That the judge already has his op- J itiions on the subject is evidenced by au interview given Saturday to a | newspaper mau in which he said that Milton, looked npon as the"model" j town of the county, leads the coal re gion iu the matter of murders com i mitted within the past 21 years The ! judge was asked for his side of the murder question and gave it without hesitation. His Honor stated that he is now en gaged in compiling the murder statis tics of old Northumberland and that when he lias finished the task he will give the report to the newspapers. He is actuated in this by a desire to clear the name of Northumberland county, which bears au unenviable reputation in the State. Judge Savidge, so far in his investi gations is couvinced that there were only 33 killings in 21 years and he says Milton had a larger proportion of them than the coal regions. Six first degree verdicts were brought in, but higher courts and the pardon board intervened and saved the felons from hanging. According to the judge's statement the average of first degree verdicts In the United States is two per cent. In Northumberland county it is twenty per cent. Iu the distinguished jurist's opinion Northumberland is oue of the best regulated counties iu the country. Mrs. Mcßaney's Experience. Mrs. Mcßaney, Prentiss, Miss., writes: "I was confined to my bed for three months with kidney and bladder trouble, and was treated by two phy sioiaus but failed to get relief. No liuniau tongue can tell how I suffered, and I had given up hope of ever get ting well until I began taking Foley's Kidney Remedy.

With the beginning of the new year a new ritual of Fraternal Order of Eagles one of the strongest fraternal organizations in the Uuited States will go into effect. This will be the first change that has been made since the first aerie was formed in Seattle, Washington, over ten years ago aud is said to be a de cided improvement over the old which members of the order have long ad mitted to be a masterpiece. However it is said the new one about to be is sued will exceed by far that of the first which was the work of men still living who helped to revise and pro duce the new ritual. At the grand aerie session belli iu Seattle in August it was decided to hold memorial services in either the mouths of January, February or March instead of during the month of May as has been the enstom.

PARDON BOARD IN A QUANDARY The Statu board of pardons is in a quandary as to the disposal of the case of Staney Marcavitch. They have de ferred action mouth after mouth in the hope of securing evidence 011 which they may base their conclusion as to his guilt or comparative innocence of the murder of Charley Yesalonious, the Springfield cobbler, it will soon be time for them to take up the case again and they are at a loss as tow-hat to do. The fact that Staney will not testify to s*ve his own neck is oue of the strangest features of the case, and oue which has made considerable impres sion on the board. The situation as it appears to the board of pardous is described in the following dispatch sent out from Harrisburg : Staney Marcavitch, oonvicted of murder in the first degree in North umberland county stands in the shad ! ow of the gallows, hut refuses to tea -1 tify against the man whom ho accuses ! of having committed the murder for which he was sentenced to die. The ' case is now pending before the State board of pardous, having been on ttie ! deferred list for several mouths in the | hope that the board might he able to get such information as would enable it.to act justly. At his trial Staney, accused of kill ing Charles Yesalouis ou Maroh 18, 1907, said that .Toe lvocheski did it. When Joe, who goes by the nickname of "Pimple Faced Joe," was arrested aud iiis case taken before the grand jury, Marcavitch refused to give evid ence against him.

One of tlie principal dangers lies in permitting children to remain by themselves It* the room where the tree is placed when candles on the tree are burning. "Grown ups should be very careful about tins" said an experienced mem ber of the firo department. "Candles add to the effectiveness of the tree, but there should be some one in the room with children when the candles are left burning. Children can scarce ly he blamed for any trouble that might result from carelessness in this ' respect on the part of the elders." There isn't so very much danger from the trees catching- fire from lighted candles while the trees are green. It is during the week after Christmas when the tree become dry and is just in prime condition for a spark to set it ablaze, that extra care should be taken." The department is also against the piling of folds of cotton under trees and in the "yards" to represent snow. Cotton is a particularly inflammable sort of snow.
