SCARLET FEVER
AND DIPHTHERIA
Apropos of the outbreak of disease—
diphtheria and scarlet fever —which is
interfering with the attendance at
school in the second ward, Dr. Shultz,
secretary of the board of health,makes
a statement to the effect that some
half a dozen cases were released from
qaurantine during the past week,while
only one new case has been reported.
Both diphtheria and scarlet few r
have i xisted in the second ward for a
mouth or more past. At present there
are more cases of scarlet fever than
diphtheria. The total number under
treatment can not be learned at this
time. What ever may be said of con
ditions at present the situation up to
a few days ago was such as to cause m
great deal of anxiety among parents.
The reassuring statement of the sec
retary of the board of health, above,
quoted, therefore, to those poeplo will
prove welcome news.
The school authorities have done
what they deem sufficient to prevent
the spread of the two diseases, dis
missing schools and fumigating rooms
every time a new ease developed among
the pupils.
The customary precautions employed
by the schools, however,it is charged,
are more than counterbalanced bv the
indifference and neglect of infected
families, whose children,although not
permitted to attend school, mingle not
only with other children on the streets,
but also play with the pupils on the
school grounds at recess and at Other
t imcs.
The violation of all established,com
omn-sense rules has he une so numer
ous and flagrant that citizens bontem
plate petitioning the board of health
to see if some form of quarantine can
not li • established that will not only
keep neighbors out of placarded houses,
but will prevent members of infected
families from leaving the house except
under prescribed restrictions.
NATURE TELLS YOU
As Many a Danville Reader Knows Too
Well.
When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tells you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar.
Infrequent or too frequent action :
Any urinarv trouble tells of kidnev
ills.
Do.: i's Kidnev Pill* cure all kidnev
ills.
People in this vicinity testify to
this.
William Spatts. so; Lincoln St., Mi
lton, Pa., says: "My kidneys were dis
ordered for a loug time and luy 1 ick
was very lame and weak. Any i v< -
ment,bringing a strain on the muse s
of my back, was very painful ;■
weakness of the kidneys clung to me,
compelling ine to arise at nighi. The
kidney secretin) were attended with
a scalding sensation in passage and
there was so frequent a desire to void
them at night that 1 could scarcely
get any rest at all. My general lieaitn
was affected and I felt miserable when
I was advised to try Doau's Kidney
Pills. I used them according to direc
tions and they soon removed the lame
ness and pain, regulated the kidney
secretions and improved my general
health. I appreciate the merits of
Doah's Kidney Pills and recommend
them at every opportunity."

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE
The jierson who failed to walk al road
Sunday missed an o])]>ortnuity to be
hold nature in one. of its most unique,
and charming aspects. The atmosphere
clarified by the rain of Saturday,seem
ed to possess a peculiar property which
brought out objects situated at a dist
anee clear and distinct.
The autumnal foliage, just now at
tin Inight of its beauty, was never
s.it'.n to a better advantage. No matter
iu which direction ons gazed I In* eye
was arrested by long vistas of rich
warm colors, iu which the dark green
of the pine and sprue • appeared in
pleasing contrast with russet,gold and
varies shades of red.
The especial charm yt sterday lay in
the distinctness with which the colors
and the various shades of colors ap
peared to the eye. The beauty was all
the more to be admired because it is
so short lived. Only a day or so re
mains before the splendor will begin
to fade. The gold and crimson, will
give place to the dllll hues of the
withered leaf and the next storm that
sweeps down upon us will leave tho
branches bare.

G. 11. SOBER TELLS
OF CHESTNUT FARM
Over two thousand bushels of nuts,
marketable at a price ranging from s■>
to a bushel, are evidences which
Coleman K. Sober, of L»wisburg, pro
duces in answer to the question," Does
chestnut raising pay?"
Over one hundred thousand thrifty
trees, both bearing and with promises
to bear, growing alike on the richest
farm land in the famous Irish valley
and the spots on the farm which other
men in that locality claimed were
"unfertile and worn out," are evid
ences which the same owner produces
in answer to the question " Will it pay
the average farmer to make the experi
ment ?''
' Mr. Sober has purchased 00 acres of
Mountain land in Beaver township,
and in a short time will visit that
place for the purpose of preparing it
for a chestnut farm.
Mr. Sober has just returned from
superintending the harvesting of the
annual crop in Irish valley. Although
the drought lias injured the crop some
j what, he is looking for a yield that
will probably equal last ye; r's jvcord
of 2,000 bushels.
The Sober farm is situated in the
; famous Irish valley, near Paxinos and
about 20 miles from Sunbury. It in
cludes some 400 acres, only a part of
| which area is devoted to clu -tnut
; growing. During the past ten years
i the owner has been steadily adding to
j his chestnut groves and orchards and
intends to use the entire farm l'or their
culture.
j The success of the Lewisburg man's
efforts has attracted the attention of
' horticulturists and argicnltnrists from
j every part of the country, and nation
al and State authorities believe t ey
! have found a solution to the waste land
I problem. If the experience of Mr. Sob
ier may be taken as ordinary, the plan
must surelv be taken more seriously
j than a mere experiment.
[ He obtained the idea of chestnut
( grafting from his father. The older
| Sober tried grafting trees on the same
| farm now devoted to their culture
j when the present owner was but 13
j years old. The plan did not prove sue
; eessful, mainly, Mr. Sober -.a vs. be
cause his father used the cleft gral't
i instead of the tongue graft. Since that
j he has been very successful.

REMOVING TO CATAWISSA
! The steam plant, knitting machines
and complete equipment of the Mon
tour Knitting Mills company, for a
con]ill 1 of years past installed in the
disused school building on the "flat,"
were being loaded on the cars Mon
day preparatory to their removal to
j Catawissa It been well known for
| a couple of months past that the Mon
! tour Knitting Mills company contem
| plated removing to Catawissa, where
j help of the special kind required eonld
1 he more easily obtained.
The plant ill Oatuwis.-a will be in-
Mailed in the old planing mill | roper
ty on Third street. The building, how
; ever, has been enlarged an 1 praetieal
j ly rebuilt to meet the requirements of
! the business.
The Montour Knitting Mills coui
j puny employed some fifty hands in this
city: in all probability a larger num
ber will be employed in Catawissa.
Owing to the fact, that there were
several other industries of its kind,
employing young people, established
prior to the organization of the Mon
tour Knitting Mills company, the
scarcity of help constituted a handi
cap to the firm now moving. Better
conditions seem to await the starting
up of the plant in Catawissa. It is said
that the applications for work from
women and girls considerably exceed
the number of hands required to iqier
ate the plant.
Thomas A. Delauey, supi rinteiideut,
will accompany the plant to Cata
wissa. He will still maintain his resi
dence in this city.

WATCHED BASE BALL.
Staney Marcavitcli is spending the '
last weeks of his life in the Northern- j
berland county jail at Sunbury in that \
resignation which generally couies t i 1
men who know that they are doomed, j
His thoughts aie frequently far from j
prison.
Especially in the past couple months
he has been interested in base ball, a
game in which le promised to becom"
proficient before his arrest a couple of
years ago. He had played with flic
Coveleskie brothers at Springfield near
Shamokiu, and is pleased with their
remarkable success in professional
ball. During the past summer he has
watched their advance in the game
with the greatest interest.
People who have tried "our White
Star Potatoes say they are the finest

MARGAVnGH HEARS
FATE STOICALLY
Sheriff Taby received the Marcavitcli
death warrant from Harrisbnrg Satur
day mornii ik and immediately inform
ed the prisoner in the county jail at
Sunbury. Tim condemned man receiv
ed the news with great stoicism and
seemed to be thoroughly resigned to
his fate.
When Sheriff Taby crossed the thres
hold of the cell, Staimy remarked:
"It's alright,sheriff, I know what you
want. It's the same as before. " Oth
er than this he, had nothing to say
voluntarily, and although not in a
sulky mood answered all questions
hesitatingly. Sheriff Taby advised
him to seek spiritual comfort and ask
ed him if he wanted to see any par
ticular priest, to which he replied:
"Oh, I guess not, lam alright now
anyway and its no use to send any
word to any one. They all know
what's going on. I see Father Dough
erty sometimes when lie comes in here!
and that's all right." When fold if
lie wanted to see any of his own peo- |
! pie or wanted anything elso, here- |
I mained silent.
Following the reading of the death 1
warrant,Marcavitcli was placed in the |
cell kept for prisoners awaiting ex- j
ec-ntion, and .T. 11. Cfiese, of Sunbury, i
1 assumed the dut it;; of deathwatch as J
soon as the change had been made. |
: Marcavitcli made a request for a buck- ,
! i t of hot water to clean up despite the j
tact that everything was as bright as.
a new pin. He also wanted hot water |
|to take a bath. Kver since his incarc- j
! eration lie has been a sticker for clean- j
[ lincss.
i Sheriff Taby and Warden Dietrich i
I will do everything in their power to
earrv out the law with as little show
| as possible, and will be very strict in
j issuing passes.
i The parents and relatives of the con
| demned prisoner are held in high es
teem, but have taken little interest in j
: liini, a younger sister being the only 1
j one that lias called at the jail to see!
; him.

ADVOCATES THE
"OPEN CHURCH"
"The Opou Cliurch" is the subject I
of au article I>y Rev. C. R. Botsfonl
that appeared last week in the Luther
an Observer, the organ of the Lutheran
church published at Philadelphia. It
follows:
"For three years and a little uiore
our church has been open all day long
when the minister was in town. His
study is in one comer of the pulpit
platform screened off in such a way as
not to be unsightly. During the wint
er the church is heated all the time.
This is not. as expensive as oue would
think at first. The church is not very
large, aud 1:2 tons more or less of coal
are sufficient for the season of cold.
"As his study and office the church
is an ideal place. The people, know
where to find the pastor. His office
hours are published and usually may
be found in the church from K a. in.
to ].' noon. The poeple come to him
more freely there than they would to
liis house.
"His desk is of the roll top style,
and when he is out it is closed. But
! hi* books and other paraphernalia are
I open. Nothing has evar been disturb
ed. The town in which this open
j church is maintained is an industrial
! e 'liter witli about I 000 of a popula
' tion, with a large element of foreigii
i ers. It is located 011 the main street.
, Frequently the foreigners come in and
! look around,diseasing the various ob
jects that attract their notice.
! "Could the minister of this church
' have his way, the church would be
■ open night and day,with a light burn
i ing all night. Of course lie would
| have the watchman on the beat stop in
! from time to time to see that 110
! drunken revelers made ill use of the
j House of God.
j "It has always been a 'jar' to the
writer togo up the steps of a large
church in some town or city, try all
I the doors, and then have togo away
j without entering because they were
| looked. This is nut the case with the
I Roman churches. To them you may
, find an easy access every day. Many
| times we have found it restful and
| worshipful to enter a church of Rome
I and tarry a few minutes in a conse-
I crated place.
! "In our judgment and from our Ix
.
!>erienoo, there is, but a very small
! percentage of the most depraved ca'es
; who would commit a depredation in a
■ church. There comes a felling of awe
i and respect to nearly every one who
enters an < nipty church.
' Kspecially in the large towns and
cities the open church would be a good
I thing and it would he a still better
thing if the pastor could have his
study in the building with facilith s
of ready approach l>y the people.
. Blessed is that pastor to whom the
; people turn in their hours of trouble
and distress."
I When the leaves begin to tall the
property own r begins to swear at the
nuisance.

COUNCILMAN'S FORECAST
A member of council, Saturday, was
| authority for the statement that dur-j
I ing next summer more improvements
will be set oil foot, if not completed,
1 t'lan has occurred in Danville for
1 many years.
In addition to East Market street j
: paving, which is assured, Water street,
j lie says, will be niacadam'zed and the
i river bank will be cleaned up and
beautified. Civic pride, he avers, is
not lacking among the citizens of the j
southern part of the borough and they
1 are only waiting until the way is open
| and they are shown proper encourage
■ ment when they will make haste to [
I act.
The D I-. iV- W. Railroad company,
it is said, lias been heard from in rela
tion to the old canal. In a recent let
tor the division engineer has given as
surance flint- the hit tor has not been
lost sight of and that during the win
ter all preliminaries will be attended
to so that early in the spring the work
of til 1 in*; tii> the abandoned waterway
may begin.
The councilman seemed quite con
fident that while paving and niaeada
luixation of streets are underway next
summer work on the old canal \v ill al
so be in progress.

810 FRANKLIN
AUTO BURNED
The liijjr six cylinder, seven passeng
i*r Franklin automobile belonging to
Charles \V. Funston, of Bloomsburg,
caught tire and was completely de
stroyed a short distance above Grov
ania Monday evening about 7 o'clock.
The big car was being driven by
Boyd Cadiuau, of Bloonisbtirg, when
the accident happened and tin? only
other occupant was David Benshaw,
also of Bloonisbtirg. The men were on
their way to take supper in this city.
The automobile burned at a point
: near Meuch's brick school house,above
: (trovania. slr. ('adman had stopped
the car and got out to light the lamps.
One match failed to cause the ligthsto
burn and a second one was struck when t
the light generator exploded. Jll a sec
ond the gasoline had caught and the
whole machine was a mass of fl.nues.
There was absolutely nothing that r
could be done and tiie two men were
compelled to stand helpless an 1 watch
j.the line car as the flames completed
their work.
The car was valued at SBSOO and was
insured. It is a total wreel:.
Mr. Cadman had driven the ear for
its owner, Mr. Funston.for some time,
and was so devoted to the machine
that lie b lieved that there was no car
ever built that was quite its equal. As
lie watched the machine burn he broke
down and cried, and then wandered
off tlie road into the fields. It was not
until quite some time after the accid
ent that he returned to his companion.

FAMINE PRICES.
Butter and eggs are fast assuming
famine prices, due to the prolonged
strike of the hens and the absence of
pasturage and the consequent high
price of hay. The principle of supply
and demand prevails,as usual, and the
farmer who has his hen working over
time and 11is cows producing plenty of
milk has a gilt-edged investment at
the present time.
Another not so bright a side is that
at which the county farmer looks this
year as he husks his corn. With many
of the farmers they haveinvi i cured
such a large crop of nubbins and nub
bins do not bring spectacular prices.
