HUSBAND ILL
WIFE DEAD
Mrs. S. B. Flick, a widely known
and esteemed resident of West Hem
lock township, died at the homestead
farm near Swenoda at 3 o'clock yes
terday morning after a ten days' ill
ness. S. B. Flick, the husband, is ly
ing very seriously ill with but slight
hopes of recovery.
Mrs. Flick was a native of Luzerne
county, but spent the greater part of
her life in this county. For fifty-four
years she resided practically on the
same spot where she died. She was
aged 73 years, 'J months and 10 days.
She was a member of the Presbyterian
church at Swenoda and was a consist
ent Christian.
Besides her husband the deceased is
survived by five sons—Cyrus,of Allen
wood; Charles, of Hazletou; William,
of Berwick; Gabriel, of Riverside and
David of Watsontown—also six daugh
ters: Mrs. Martha Miller, of Huglies
ville; Mrs. Mary Guffy, Mrs. Ella
Snyder, of Berwick; Mrs. llattie
Sturdevant. of Williamsport; Mrs.
Sarah Kitchen, of Eyersgrove; and
Miss Carrie, who lives at home
The funeral will bo held on Satur
day, meeting at the house at Ip. m.
Interment will bo made in the ceme
tery at Swenoda.
S. 15. Flick, husband of the deceas
ed. was taken ill last Monday a week
ago. about the time that bis wife took
her bed. Yesterday symptoms of pneu
monia developed,which in view of his
advanced age—seventy-five years
lends a serious aspect to the case.
Mrs. Flick along with her husband
was well known in Danville. I 1 or over
a generation in a business and a social
way the couple mingled with the
residents of town. The news of Mrs.
Flick's death will cause deep regret,
while all will unite in the hope that
the stricken husband may recover.
THE SNOW STORM
The heavy snow storm announced
Tuesday, which, it was predicted,
would have serious effect 011 traffic
and railroad conditions came along
yesterday 011 schedule time.
The weather conditions were unique,
although no great depth of snow fell
duiing the day. It began to snow
about eight o'clock in the morning
and continued until dark. The snow
was fine as powder and accumulated
so slowly that by evening there was
less than an inch 011 the ground. It
was cold and disagreeable during the
«entire day. During the forenoon mer
cury was 12 degrees above zero. It be
came slightly warmer in the after-
Hoou, A little before dark the snow
turned to hail, which continued dur
ing the first half of the night.
Danville citizens who looked for a
tleep snow were disappointed yester
day. The roads were worn smooth
and. with the degree of cold prevail
ing, conditions wero favorable for
good sleighing had the snow attained
sufficient depth.
The powdery snow settling on the
rails impeded the progress of trolley
cars and even caused a slight delay on
the steam roads.
A KISS IN THE DARK
William Jennings Bryan is credited
with a recent expression which proves
that his wisdom is not partisan. He
was the guest of honor at a banquet
in Reading, PH., when somebody ask
ed him:
"Mr. Bryan do you think advertis
ing is profitable?"
Mr. Bryan was almost stunned for
the moment —that question was such a
startler, the reply so obvious. Hie
commoner soon recovered, however,
and handed out this unique remark;
"A fellow who tries to attract busi
ness without advertising is like the
fellow who throws his sweetheart a
silent kiss in the dark. He knows
what he is doing, but nobody else
does.''
One guest, an advertising expert,
set it down in his notebook to hand
along to future, generations.
"It is worth reading over and ov
er," ho said, "and the more you read
it the more you see in it. Bnt think
of asking Mr. Bryan if advertising
pays.''
THE LAST RITES
The funeral of Mrs. Robert G. Mill
er took place from the Mahoning Pres
byterian church at 2 :80 o'clock yester
day afternoon, interment being made
in Odd Fellows' cemetery.
The services were conducted by tho
Rev. James Wollaston Kirk. The pall
bearers were: J. E. Moore, Dr. Rob
bins, H. B. Sehultz and David Sliel
iiart.
The following persons from out of
town attended the funeral: Mr. and
Mrs. Wesley Steiff, Mr. and Mrs. Levi
Miller, of Wyoming; Mr. and Mrs.
William Bartietf. of West Pitttson;
Mrs. Fannie Griffith and Miss Dora
Harris of Shamokin; Dr. Warren J.
Miller and Charles S. Miller of Phila
delphia; Miss Catherine Miller of As
bury Park.
The County Audit.
The board of£couuty auditors con
sisting of B. L. Dielil, Mahoning town
ship; Thomas Vansant, Liberty town
ship, and J. H. Woodside, this city,
began tho annual audit of accounts iu
tho office of the county commissioners
Modday. The audit will occupy the
■entire week.
COLDEST WEATHER
OF IRE WINTER
Following the coldest weather of the
winter Danville and the State at large
got beneath the predicted blizzard of
snow and sleet, which started yester
day morning.
Snow is expected to continue today
ovei the State and the forceast issued
last evening from the Harrisburg
branch of the United States weather
bureau, says the fall is likely to last
24 bonis longer with warmer weather
today.
There is a possibility of the snow
being varied with sleet, and even rain
is among the possible features of the
weather. As a result of the sleet fall
ing on the thin covering of snow yes
terday walking was made extremely
difficult and numerous people had falls.
Elaborate preparations havo been
made as a result of yesterday's Wash
ington bulletining to guard against a
recurrence of the conditions that fol
lowed upon the Christmas snow, when
the State's railroads were worse de
moralized than for years.
The snow that was cleared away
then is still piled up alongside the
tracks, and the prospect of another
heavy fall is viewed with apprenhen
sion by the transportation companies.
Hereabouts and all over Pennsyl
vania rivers and streams are frozen
tight, and there is little danger of
floods unless very warm weather ac
compained with heavy rains should
set in.
WORST STORM OF YEARS
IN THE MIDDLE WEST
Chicago, Jan. 5. —The storm which
reached blizzard force in Colorado
moved eastward during the night and
today the middle west is experiencing
one of the worst storms in years, ac
cording to advices received from many
cities. While no reports of fatalities
have been received from the immedi
ate vicinity of Chicago,immense dam
age has been done. Railroad trains are
i blocked everywhere and the telcgiaph
■ and telephone communication is badly
j crippled.
| 111 Chicago the extreme cold weatli
ler which lias prevailed for several
| days moderated today when the city
| awoke to find five inches of sleet on
the ground.
IN IOWA AND NEBRASKA
'■ The blizzard reached its [height in
! lowa and Nebraska. Reports from Des
Moines indicate that it's the worst
i storm of many years and the damage
' will be enormous.
| At lowa City Jtlie State university
i was compelledfto close because of a
j shortage of fuel and many other lowa
| towns had a similar shortage. The fre
j quency of the recent stormsjhad delay-
I ed traffic for days and it has been im
j possible to ship enough coal to supply
! all the lowa towns. Numerous rail
i road wrecks are also reported from
I lowa. In Nebraska similar conditions
prevail. The storm has tied up street
; traffic. In Omaha and Lincoln streets
| were closed. In the noitheru part of
| the State many trains are reported
j stalled. The railroad trouble is so
1 great that it will be'many days before
j traffic resumes its normal condition.
I Missouri and Colorado conditions have
; become worse over night according to
j meagre reports received today.
STORM IN THE NORTHWEST
ACCOMPAINED BY GREAT COLD
| Minneapolis, Jan. 5. —The blizzard
! throughout the northwest continues
without abatement. It is ten degrees
below zero here and in some parts of
, the Dakotas it is thirty degrees below.
One man was frozen to death near
Judith Gap, Mont., while going to
visit his wife at his ranch. He got
lost ami wandered far from the road.
A farmer named Isaackson,living near
Lake Chotek,Wis.,was frozen to death
while driving from his farm near Flat-
Hand to Couderay. He was found sit
ting his seat, the horses
still proceeding aimlessly along the
road.
ONE MAN S AWFUL EXPERIENCE
Oscar Melhoru, aged twenty-five,
was brought into Bismark,N. D., hos
pital with parts of his body frozen,
j His hands and feet were amputated
! this morning. He says he was turned
I out of a farmhouse of a neighbor with
i whom he sought refuge, his own fire
; having died out. He was unable to en
dure the cold in his home and started
to walk twelve miles to Dogden. The
1 last two miles of his journey was
made on his hands and knees, his feet
having become so benumbed that lie
i was unable to balance himeslf on
them.
Early Closing.
Our stores are now nearly all closing
at six o'clock or shortly afterward.
As a result Mill street seems quite de
serted during the long evenings and
j there is little doing even at those est-
I ablislmients that remain open. Early
; closing will be the order from now
until the approach of Easter.
Wedded in Montana.
1 News has boon-received in this city
!of the marriage of Peter J. Griffin to
Miss Agnes Gerard at Deer Lodge,
; Montana. Mr. Griffin is the son of
Patrick Giiffin, Foust street,this city,
and formerly resided here. He now
| holds a positiou with the Northern
Pacific railway at Deer Lodge.
Three inmates escaped from the Al
lenhey county insane asylum at Wood
ville, recently and one of them, Fritz

in some mysterious way gained pos
session of files and obtained their free
dom with the aid of these.

I dan is plaintiff, the action is brought

tion engine breaking through a bridge
in northern end of couutv.
ESCAPING QUARANTINE
The public school authorities have
, become convinced that chicken pox is
very prevalent in Danville, although
only comparatively few cases are re
ported. Tliis is due to 110 neglect on
the part of the physicians for the rea
son that the doctors are not called in
attendance.
Whether wisely or otherwise many
people have come to regard chicken
pox as a mild disease and but little to
be dreaded, notwithstanding that pu
pils belonging to households ill which
the disease exists are not permitted by
law to attend school for a period of 21
days. Many parents seem to under
stand a few simple remedies and rath
j er than call a physician and have the
j house placarded decide to run the risk
j and treat the victim of chicken pox
! themselves. Thereby the other chil
i dren of the family are permitted to
remain in school.
This, of course, is a very unfortun
ate state of affairs. Chicken pox is not
I regarded by the medical fraternity as
essentially a mild, much less harm
less, disease, if it weie it would not
be placed in the same category with
ailments that call for quaran
tine. Obviously parents who fail to
call in a physician make a mistake, as
they not only deprive the child of
skillful treatment, which they may
have great cause to regret, but by
sending the other children of the fami
ly to school also expose the whole
body of pupils to danger.
HORTICULTURAL MEETING
The annual meeting of the State
Horticultural association of Pennsyl
vania will be. held in the borough of
Tunkliannock, Wyoming county, 011
the llth, 12 and 13th of this month.
It is believed that this will be one of
the most interesting meetings'that the
association lias ever held. A number
of county societies are arranging to
have fruit on display, and a fine ex
hibition is expected. Topics of especial
interest to fruit growers and horticul
| turists will be discussed. Any person
; can become a member by paying one
j dollar, and will be entitled through
! such payment to receive a copy of the
j annual report. Professor H. A. Sur
j face, State ozologist, will be in atten
dance during the entire meeting and
! take an active part in the proceed
ings.
Special Revival Meetings.
The special revival meetings that
are being held each evening at 7;30
this week in Saint Paul's Methodist
Episcopal church are proving to be
quite a success. The attendance is
large anil the people join heartily in
the service. Next Sunday afternoon at
threo o'clock a mooting for men only
will be held. A cordial invitation is
extended to all thoughtful people to
come to these services.

OUTLOOK IN THE
BUSINESS WOULD
Conservatism ami tact in dealing
with the labor situation and with poli
tico-economic questions which are
pressing for solution would seem neces
sary if what now looks like a very ex
cellent trade outlook is to be fully
realized in lit 10. Reasous for confid
ence in an excellent if not a record
trade in 1910 are many, according to
Bradstreet's. The agricultural intorett
is prosperous as never before in the
country's history, ami the first of the
great crops of the yetr— wheat—enters
the Winter in excellent audition on a
next-to-record area. High prices for
all faim produce would seem to guar
antee enormous plantings of all crops
this year. Spring orders already re
ceived by jobbers and wholesalers and
business booked by manufacturers
practically insure the full or over time
now being run until next year's crop
and trade outlook takes more definite
form. While it might be erroneous to
expect the record building expendit
ures of 11)09 to be exceeded in 1910, an
active year's business is looked for. It
is generally conceded that the rail
roads will bo free spenders for im
provements in the coming year. Fin
ally, if reports as to holiday and re
tail buying are correct, public pur
chasing power, despite high prices
ruling, seems to be fairly normal. All
these things indicate activity in a
high degree. Modifying or qualifying
these features somewhat is the ques
tion of the effect increased price levels
of oommoidties, and therefore of all
costs of business and industrial opera
tion, will have upon general business.
These have already lessened profits
ami bid fair to be productive of much
friction in industrial lines. If the
activity confidently looked for eventu
ates, active money markets and firm
rates would seem probable. Indeed,
the calm in speculation after earlier
activity resulting in new high record
price levels is taken by some to indi
cate that the securities markets have
already discounted much of the future.
Teaching Music in Oklahoma.
Miss Madge Books Sanders, a native
of this city, is a member of the music
al faculty of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college of Stillwell, Okla
homa, having charge of piano instruc
tion. A newspaper recently leceived
here gives a lengthy account of an in
formal reception which Miss Sanders
tendered to 130 pupils of the music
department of the college and mem
bers of the faculty. The paper speaks
of Miss Sanders as "not only a charm
ing young lady and an accomplished
musician but also a delightful enter
tainer. "
When Benjamin Luey found Charles
Huston, his brother-in-law, prowling
about his house in Philadelphia, the
latter fired two shots at him,one glanc
ing off his watch and the other going
wild. Then while Luey went for a
policeman,Huston set fire to the house
and killed himself by sending a bullet
crashing through his skull. Huston,
the police say,was released from prison
last October and his wife has been
estranged from him ever since he was
convicted. The police believe that it
was Huston's plan to murder the
whole Luey household.

OVERPLANTING NOT
OVERPRODUCTION
Owing to the public statement of
Prol. 11. A. Surface, State Zooloigst,
at Harrisburg, that he feared an over
planting of fruit trees in Pennsylvania
at the present time,some persons have
construed his remark to mean that
this would result in overproduction
and profitless orcharding. The Zoolog
ist explains the difference by saying
that while overplanting is easily pos
sible, owing to the planting of many
trees dominated by mercenary motives
only,and which will surely be neglect
ed, overproduction will not be possi
ble for the reason that every tree that
is of the right variety, and is given
proper care, will produce fruit that'
can be marketed for a better price
than ever before.
Modern facilities, in the form of
refrigerator cars for transportation,
and cold storage rooms for the storage
of perishable fruit, make it possible
for the orchardist to produce fruit in
great quantities and hold the same un
til the products can gradually reach
the consumer. Under such circumst
ances tlie fruit can be sold for good
prices and no one who will make a
real study of orcharding, and produce
first class fruit in abundance, need
fear that he will have any difficulty
to dispose of his crop.
The man who has more trees than
he can give his attention to, or, in
other words,who overplants; who will
not study the subject of horticulture,
and consequently does not become per
sonally interested in it, is the one who
will produce fruit of inferior quality,
and consequently be unable to get rid
of it promptly or at an advantageous
price. Such a person will declare that
he is suffering from overproduction,
when,as a matter of fact,his real diffi
culties are overplanting and lack of
care.
There has recently developed a com
mon belief that it is possible for any
one,especially a professional or a busi
ness man, to start an orchard, plant,
spray his trees occasionally, and in
the course of time obtain good crops
from them at highly profitable prices.
This is a mistake. The only success
ful orcharding will be those who study
their individual trees as the dairyman
studied his individual cattle.
He will attempt to furnish each with
the balanced ration of fertilizer, ac
cording to its own needs and possibili
ties, and will prune, spray and cul
tivate each according to the general
needs of the orchard, and the specific
needs of that particular tree. Those
who determine to raise first class
fruits, and will study, master,and en
joy the subject, and live among the
trees, rather than expect their employes
only to do this, need not be discour
aged with the outlook for the j>ro
spects of the New Fruit Culture in
Pennsylvania.
