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.

Mrs. George Ricketts. living at 405

"It is twelve years since Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first used in my family
and I recommend them just as highly
at this time. 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. He lias used (Joan's Kidney Pills
on occasions since and has never fail

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.
If we could talk to you personally
about the great merit of Foley's
Honey and Tar, for coughs, colds and
lung trouble, you never could be in
duced to experiment with unknown
preparations that may contain some
harmful drugs. Foley's Honey and
Tar costs you no more aud has a rec
ord of fortv years of cures. For Bale

Filling Up the Oanal.
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.

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

JUDGE COMPILING
MURDER STATISTICS
The topic of the murders that have
been committed in Northumberland
county within the past twenty or so
years is forming the base of numerous
articles iu the newspapers in this sec
tion.
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

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. After taking two
bottles I felt like a new person, and
feel it my dutv to tell suffering wo
men what Foley's Kidney Remed} did

New Ritual for the Eagles.
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. He has since de
clined to talk about it The author

"Iu the days of old. in the days of
gold.in the days of '49." These words
of Bret Hart and h's stories of life iu
the far west, when men lived nearer
God, will live forever, because ttieir

in almost every human breast. The
same has been said of the celebrated
play "Under Western Skies." which
will appear at the Dauville opera
house Ohristma- afternoon aud even
iug because its soul interest, its ab
sorbing and thrilling plot, its humor
and its pathos never fails to win en
thusiastic appreciation from true lov

CANDLES ARE
JDANGEROUS
Some valuable tips about the care of
Christmas trees and yards where light
ed candles are used are given here to
the people of Danville, which,if heed
ed should minimize the danger of tires
from that source.
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
