"The Lost Trail."
The four seasons' success of"The
Lost Trail" is evidence that audiences
appreciate clean, wholesome and ab
sorbing plays, handsomely staged and
properly presented. The Wills Amuse
ment Company desires to impress up
on the people of this city, that the
original—or week-stand compnay—the
one that produced the play in New
York and Chicago—will he seen here
on Friday overling and that the pro
duction will be under the direct and
personal supervision of the author. It
is a play in four acts and five beauti
ful stage pictures—containing an iu
teresting and wholesome story of West
ern life, where many typical charact
ers are brought into view. The drama
combines a little tragedy, with a good
deal of comedy, introduced in a plausi
ble manner by a number of good com
edy characters. During the action a
number of singing and dancing speci
alties are also introduced.
Captured Scholarship.
Mi>- Marie A. Hill, of Shiekshinny.

BROTHERS GO
TO PRISON
John and Herman liocb, brothers,of
this city, were arrested charged with
larceny Monday. In default of bail
they were committed to jail to await
the next term of court.
The two men were arrested on a war
rant sworn out by W. A. Scolder, gen
eral manager of the Danville Stove and
Manufacturing company. The informa
tion accused the men of stealing a
brass valve on Labor day.
The men learning that information
had been made against them on Tues
day waited upon General Manager
Seehler, acknowledging that they had
taken the valve and promising to re
store the property, at the same time
begging for clemency, which Mr
Seehler, in view of the frequent raids
made by thieves at the stove works,
did not promise to extend. Following
this the men disappeared and it was
not until Monday that the officers
could lay their hands upon them.
The men were arraigned before Just
ice W. V. Oglcsby at 10:30 o'clock.
They acknowledged their guilt, but
pleaded tin' small value of the valve
and the fact that they were in dire
need in excuse of the theft.
Justice Oglesby held each for court
in three hundred dollars bail. Neither
was able to procure a bondsman at
that time and in default of bail they
were committed to the county prison.

GIFT HIGHLY^PRIZED
Will G. Brown Monday received a
gift which he highly prizes. It is in
the form of a set of elks' teeth present
ed to him by Mrs. J. L. Lane, who re
cently removed from Danville to Kiui
erer, Wyoming. The teeth, which are
especially fine specimens, were procur
ed from an old hunter iu Wyoming and
were sent to Mr. Brown by Mrs. Lane.
As is well known elks' teeth are
very rare at the present day owing to
the demand they are in among mem
bers of the order of Elks, who wear
them as badges. To Mr. Brown, there
fore, who is a member of the above
named order, the elks' teeth presented
to him have an additional value.

FILLING UP
OF OLD CANAL
On Saturday morning the Structural
Tubing company began filling up the
canal. It seems definitely settled that
the work is togo steadily forward—
that ashes, cinder and like material
wherever obtainable are to be dumped
nto the old waterway until the last
vestige of it fs wiped out of existence.
At the suggestion of Division Eng
ineer White, Friday evening the com
mittee on sewers waited upon the
Structural Tubing company to deter
mine whether it would be willing to
use the waste from the works in fill
ing up the canal. The committee met
the division engineer on his return
from Northumberland, Friday evening
and reported to him that the Structur
al Tubing company had consented to
fill up the canal between Church and
Beaver streets and that it would begin
the work immediately.
During the conference with the div
ision engineer that followed the sub
ject of further filling up was consider
ed. Other industries will no doubt be
glad to help the good work along by
filling up sections contiguous or con
venient to their, plants; but naturally
there will be sections here and there
along the water way remote from the
industries that can not be reached
with carts without more or less loss of
time and which the proprietors of our
manufacturing plants would not con
sent to fill up without some compensa
tion for extra hauling. This subject
of compensation is one of the points
that the division engineer is holding
under advisement. Upon the action
relating to it taken by the D. L.and
\V. company will depend whether the
old canal shall be gotten rid of in a
very reasonable period of time or the
filling up shall drag along during sev
eral years.
Now that it is decided that piping
is not necessary no obstacle to the
work can permanently intervene. This
is the great desideratum, as the pur
chase and laying of pipe would con
stitute a heavy item of cost, one that
would probably make the filling up of
the canal impracticable for years lo
come. From now on the getting rid
of tin' old ditch will oul.v be a question
of time and the utilization of waste
material that accumulates from many
sources. On the question involved ii
is not known how soon nor to what
effect we shall hear from the D. L.
and \V. Railroad company.
Meanwhile the borough will grant to
individuals permission lo dump clean
ashes, along with material free from
objectionable matter into tin canal.
The I). L.and \\. Railroad company,
however, will see to it that the old
waterway is not made the dumping
ground tor filth in any form. In a day
or so a representative of the company
will appear in this city; accompanied
by one of our policemen he will ex
amine the bank of the canal to deter
mine who are responsible for the pol
lution that exists. Not only will per
soii- who throw garbage into the canal
be waited upon, but also those who
maintain pigsties or cow sheds that
drain into the canal. The bank will
be closely examined to determine
whether there are any sewers other
than those which carry surface water
that drain into the canal We have
the division engineer's word for it
that all persons who contribute to any
of the above nuisances will be pro
secuted.

TWO YOUTHFUL
SNEAK THIEVES
That Danville lias some precocious
youngsters or those at least who are
prematurely developed in the line of
crookedness has been well demonstrat
ed during the last few days. An in
stance which occurred on Saturday
will suffice.
About ten o'clock Miss Julia Rus
sell, saleslady at Jacobs' "upper
store,'' was temporarily absent from
the store room attending to some dut
ies in an adjoining apartment. She
returned to the store and was in the
act of waiting on a customer when to
her amazement she discovered that the
money drawer was empty. She made
inquiries and learned that two small
boys had left the store about the time
she entered it.
She started out to search for the
boys and was lucky enough to find
them seated in front of the post office
counting a sum of money. She kept
the little fellows under surveillance
and when they happened to pass the
store she attempted to seize the larger
boy while Mrs. Jacobs caught the
smaller one. Miss Russell's quarry,
however, escaped from her Mid ran out
the alley at the Baldy house. From
the smaller boy some thirty cents were
recovered. It was known, however,
that in all sow two dollars were stol
en, t
Miss Russell immediately pursued
the boy that escape 1 from her and ;> 1 -
though she lost sight of him for a
time, yet she finally caught him on
East Market street just beyond Church
street. Hi' had no money about him
and protested his innocence. She
pluckily held 011 to the boy, however,
and he finally admitted that he stole
the money and asked whether he would
have togo to jail if he would return
it.
He conducted Miss Russell to a spot
along the canal near the foot of Pine
street where lie had hidden the money
stolen, or a portion of it. amounting
to neatly two dollars. Miss Russell
took possession of the money and hand
ed the youthful siieak thief over to
Chief Miuceinoyer, who put both boys
in the lock-up. The little fellows took
their imprisonment very much to heart
and cried bitterly.
The boys, who belong to a family in
the northern end of town, are about
eight and tin years old, respect ivelv.
| Owing to their extreme youth their
case proved a difficult one to dispose
of. The boys were confined in the lock
up about an hour when their father
apjieared and they were released.

HIS PICTURES
OF ROOSEVELJ
C. H. Mauley, secretary of the Dan
ville \. M. C. A., has received from
Africa several most interesting pict
ures of ex-President Roosevelt, taken
while the great American hunter was
visiting the African Inland mission at
Kijabe, British East Africa. The pict
ures were sent to Mr. Mauley by John
R. Riebe, field secretary-treasurer of
the mission.
The pictures were taken ou Juno 4th
when Theodore Roosevelt spent the
day at the mission and was entertain
ed at luncheon there. One of the pict
ures shows the table at which the ex
president was entertained at an Am
erican luncheon. 011 the niemi were
roast beef, baked beans, escalloped
liotatoes, strawberry presroves from
Ohio, pumpkin pie and cake, dishes
which are exceedingly rare in the dark
continent and which were, no doubt,
thoroughly enjoyed by the guest of
honor. Another picture shows the
smiling countenance of the hunter as
the central figure of a group of the
white people of the mission, and still
another is a panaroniic view of the
Roosevelt cam]) at Kijabe.
As far 11s is known these are the first
pictures of the ex-president to have
been received in America since his
departure for Africa.

WM. M. MUTCHLER.
William Montgomery Mntcliler, aged
42 years, a well known resident of
Elvsburg, was found dead in his bed
Saturday morning about ti o'clock by
his mother when she went to call him.
He had been dead for about '2 hours
and his demise was due to heart trou
ble with which lie had suffered for ov
er a year.
Mr. Mntcliler had planned togo to a
picnic Saturday and from the fact that
he had retired Friday night in his us
ual health, his sudden death came as a
severe shock.
The deceased had lived in the vicin
ity of Elysbnrg all his life. Beside his
mother he is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. Charles Haas, of Shamokin and
Mrs. .Terry Bostian, of Sunbnry. A
brother, whose whereabouts is un

EDWARD BUI'S
BAD INJURY
Edward Burk,a young mail, twenty-1
three years of age, is confined at tin?
home of his jiarents, Railroad street, I
as the result of a very dangerous gun
shot wound inflicted Saturday morn
ing while out in the woods with a
couple of companions.
The party went into the grove for |
the purpose of training their dogs. At!
least one of the young fellows carri
ed a gun. They were near McGraw's
woods, Mahoning township, when the
gun was accidentally discharged.
Burk had his back toward two oth
ers of the party, whom had the
gun. The two were playing together
and seemed to ho handling the gun,
which was one of the liammerless kind,
in a manner that was nut altogether |
safe. Burk turned and said:
"If you don't take care somebody
will get shot."
At-that moment the gun went off'
and Burk was the one who received
the discharge in his leg. Such injuries'
are always much dreaded by physi
cians, but in the present case the!
wound is especially dangerous.
The load took effect in the fleshy
part of the right limb above the knee, i
■ producing a ragged open wound, into
which a man might have laid his hand. I
Fortunately the wound occurred on
the outside of the limb, otherwise the
[ arteries would have been severed and !
t | the man might have hied to death. As
i it was he was in a very weak state by ;
' I the time he reached home.
Dr. P. C. Newbaker and Dr. Canier
! on Shultz rendered surgical aid,stitch
ing together the severed muscle and
dressing the injury. The patient was
fairly comfortably Sunday
and if no Complications arise he will
no doubt recover without anv ill of-1
. fects.
