MINE FINED
AND SUSPENDED
Manager A. \V. Sharploss, of the
Bloomsburg base ball team, Tuesday
night, ned and suspended "Al"
Hine. The suspension fis indefinite
and the amount of the fine tacked on
was $5.00.
Speaking of tho incident the Blooms
burg Daily Sentinel says :
"When Hine camo to Bloomsburg
from Johnstown, ,'he was hailed with
joy, but it is evident that he came to
the conclusion that there was no ono
else iu the Susquehanna League but
Hine. After the game at Danville,
where his work showed that lie was
not keeping himself in proper condi
tion, he showed an indifference when
told about it by Mr. Sharploss. The
real trouble, however, was at Milton,
Tuesday, when he was told togo in
the box and refused
point blank to do so.
' Without doubt Hine is one of the
best pitchers in the leaguo and up un
til the Danville game was a hero
among the fans. Even now, if he
would get down to business, it would
lio ih BliUit 11 ill o beluic 11© wuuld
be back in the game. He certainly
could not complain of poor treatment
here for he has been given a chance
in the box at almost every game since
he came here, in order that he might
get good control, while Shatto and
Sharadin were putin the outfield or
on the bench.
• Hine left town Wednesday and de
clared to his friends that he'd never
wear a Bloomsburg uniform again,
it is said."
Hine was in this city yesterday and
attended the Danville-Huntingdou
game.
CLOTHING CAUGHT FIRE
The two-year-old child of Adam
Reeder, who resides along the P. & R.
railroad near Hemlock street, while in
the house alone Tuesday eve set fire to
its clothing and cauiejwithin an ace of
being fatally burned.
The accident happened about six
o'clock. Mrs. Reeder had stepped out
leaving her little son, Howard, in the
basement alone. A few minutes later
the woman heard tlie'child screaming
ami rushing into the house,found that
his clothing was on fire. In her fright
and excitement Mrs. Reeder grasped
the little one and endeavored to tear
off his clothing. By that time the
flames had enveloped marly the whole
body.
At that juncture Richard Sheppard,
a neighbor, happened to pass the open
door and observing that the child was
on fire rushed into help. Exerting all
liis strength,with Mrs Reeder,he suc
ceeded in tearing all the clothing off
the el il I before the undergarments
were coi suui
The left arm of the little one was
shockingly burned, but elsewhere on
the body no serious injury was inflict
ed. The hair was burned but it is not
thought that the child inhaled any of
the fire.
Mrs. Reeder thinks that the child's
clothing took firo from tlie cooking
stove.
i
Wouldn't Allow Crepe On Door.
Edward Hickey died on Tuesday at
his home in Shaniokin. When the un
dertaker ami his assistants had prepar
ed the remains for burial and were
about to place the customary crepe on !
the door,the family objected and posi
tively refused to allow the usual sign
of mourning to grace (he panel of the i
door. They gave 110 reason for the j
strange mandate.
Died at 107.
Mrs. Joseph Cyzua, probably the
oldest woman in Northumberland
county, died at the poor house in j
Shaniokin, Tuesday, aged [lO7 years, j
She was an inmate of that institution j
for four years. She was a native of
Poland, going from there to Shaniok
in about forty-five years ago.
Reads and Sews at 94.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kisuer, of Jersey
town, 011 Monday celebrated her itlth
birthday anniversary. Notwithstand
ing that Mrs. Kisuer is the oldest per
son in that section of Columbia coun
ty, she reads and sews without the
aid of glasses.
Mrs. Moses Perry, aged ">5, of Lis
bon, instantly killed when she was
thrown out of a buggy drawn by a
runaway horse, a couple of days ago. j
Her son Arthur, aged 14, was pain
fully injured. The woman was able
to keep the horse in tho road for a
half mile,but at the bottom of a steep
bill, while rounding a sharp curve,
the buggy upset and she was thrown. !
The professional defamer of charaet- j
er should be ostracised.
R. A. SIMMONS
AT THE BRIDGE
R. A. Simmons of Pottsville, who
lias tho contract for cleaning,painting
and adjusting the river bridge, was in
this city Tuesday. In company with
the county commissioners lie went ov
er the entire bridge inspecting the
work.
Mr. Simmons declares himself as
well satisfied with the progress being
made considering the great amount of
rainy weather,during which the work
of painting oould not go forward. Tho
first span of the bridge was very dirty
in addition to which the ironwork
was badly in need of adjustment.
Thirty-three men were employed
Tuesday. As far as the sixth span
the first coat is applied. Four spans
have received the second coat-
Michael Cain, a practical bridge
builder in the employ of Mr. Sim
mons, Tuesday, was engaged in ad
justing the iron work, the different
parts of which as the result of con- :
tinned use and fast driving have lost
their true relative position. The ex
port employed on this branch of the
work is Michael Cain, who assisted to
build the bridge and who a yoar or so
ago was employed by the county com
missioners to adjust the iron work.
Mr. Simmons, who is a practical
bridge builder and may be taken as
authority,states that fast driving over
a bridge of this sort is certainly det
rimental to it. Mr. Simmons does not
think that the practice of speeding
automobiles over the driveway is quite
as injurious as the practice of trotting
horses across. The motion imparted to
the iron work by a trotting horse is
peculiarly wearing, and a bridge soon
goes from bad to worse.
Some of the iron rods were tightened
up yesterday ; othors were slackened,
and as a .result of the adjustment the
ironwork will not swing so badly for
a while, but it was .explained that, if
the county commissioners desire to pre
serve the bridge, they will have to
take some action that will curb fast
lUlviug.
Mr. Simmons says the painters are
subjected to annoyance by persons vis
iting the bridge. Some of these in
their zeal to test the quality of the
work, with their canes or umbrellas
rub the paint off the iron before it is
dry. The worst annoyance is probably
caused by the boys, who persist in the
former practice of climbing up the
batter posts and sliding down the new
ly painted incline. The effect of all
this is to spoil the work and Mr. Sim
mons thinks that attention ought to be
called to the matter.
SIGNS ARE OBSERVED
j The erection of signs 011 our streets
■ to carry out tho provisions of the auto
mobile act is already having a salutary
effect. The driveis of motor vehicles
j are doing their best to keep the speed
down to the legal limit, all of which
1 shows that automobilists are well
I posted on the law and do not care to
j invite trouble by running through
j town too fast. Up to tho very day
I when the signs were erected fast and
reckless running through town,especi
ally by strangers, seemed to be the
rule. Since that timo, although the
officers have been on the lookout for
violations, none have occurred.
It is unfortunate, however, that the
wording as laid down in the act was
not literally followed in preparing the
boarus. The :;iis as described are to
; contain the words: "Danger: run
1 slow." Instead, on the boards erected
| are the words: "Danger: go slow. "
This ei ~>t is deplored bv the officials
in whose hands tho enforcement of the
| act remains and they think a correc
i rion should be made as speedily as
possible.
GRANTED REGISTRATION
The Pennsylvania State board of ex
aminers for the registration has grant
ed registration to :54.j additional

"IN A BAD WAY"
Mr.ny a Danville Reader Will Feelt_»rate

When your back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in,
Your kidneys are "in a bad way."
Doan's Kidnev Pills will euro you.
Hero is local evidence to prove it:
Set It G. Lormer, 420 Pine Street,
Danville, Pa., says: " Doan's Kidney
Pills are worthy of endorsement, be
ing a remedy of great merit. A cold
which settled in my kidneys disordeid
theese oragns and caused sharp pains
throughout my back. I had to be care
ful when getting up after sitting, for
this action was always accompanied
by sharp twinges. I could not lio 111
one position long for if I did, the
pain and lameness across Jmy loins he

Doan's Kidney Pills which were pro

TOBACCO PRICES
ARE GOING UP
After the beginning of next month,
the users of tobacco may look for a
change in size of their boxes or bags
of tobacco. This increase will be the
result of the new revenue will
go into effect on July Ist. The tax on
tobacco will be raised 3 cents a pound
while that of cigarettes will be boost
ed from 25 to 60 cents per thousand.
This advance the dealers state, can
only bo overcome by an increase in the
price or a decrease iu the size. The
wholesalers and the retailers are des
tined to lose nothing, as the price per
pound will be made up in tho number
of small packages. True, it will be
hard to decrease the size of the ciga
rette,but there may not be as many in
the package. Some of tho dealers are
undecided as to whether they will in
crease the price or whether they will
shoulder the extra tax themselves.
Under the new law the dealers will
be allowed to placo smaller packages
of tobacco on the market. The small
est size now allowed is the one ounce
package, while the now law allows the
putting up of tobaoco in one-half
ounce and three-quarter ounce pack
ages. Another reduction of the pack
age is made in the case of little cigars
which woigh less than throe pounds to
the thousand. Tho smallest number
that can be retailed in a box at pre
sent is 12, but after July Ist, 5 and 10
will be legal. This will apply to little
cigars sold in one rate of $1.25 per
thousand. On the largo sizo of ciga
rettes the tax is raised from $3 a thou
sand to $3.00.

ANOTHER DEADLOCK
Another deadlock prevented the elec
tion of a colonel for the Twelfth Regi
ment, N. G. P., in the balloting at
the armory in Sunbury Saturday night
to take the place made vacant by the
promotion of General C. >l. Clement.
Major W. C. King, who had been a
candidate for the rank at the previous
session, withdrew, leaving Major Wil
liam F. Follmer, of Lewisburg and
Capt. Hugh H. Taylor, of Bellefoute
in the field. The result of the ballots
was a tie, IT to 17.
There are at pzesent two vacancies
in the regiment, Capt. John B. Beck,
Co. I, having gone on the retired list
and Lieut. T. R. Hayes, of Co. I),
having resigned.
The election was conducted by Gen.
Clement, who announced at the be
ginning that if lie saw that there
would be a deadlock at any point he
would stop the balloting.
After seven ballots were cast ho ad
journed the meeting. •
Major Follmer had the same num
ber of votes as before while all of
Major King's supporters representing
the companies at the upper end turned
to Capt. Taylor.
Being unable to break the deadlock
at Saturday evening's session the elec
tion was adjourned without date mak
ing a new order necessary when an
other attempt is made.
In the meantime Lieutenant-Colonel
William F. Barber will command the
regiment and it is now improbable
that another attempt at holding an
election will be made before camp.
A LARGE FUNERAL
The funeral of John W. Wintersteen,
whose death occurred Thursday, took
place from the homestead farm in Val

stone club of this city, consisting of
Joseph R. Patton, Jesse Shannon, J.
W. Swarts and William Rishel,render
ed two selections at the funeral. The

What a Summer Cold May Do.
A summer cold if neglected is just
as apt to develop into bronchitis or
pneumonia as at any other season. Do
not neglect it. Take Foley's Honey
and Tar promptly. It loosens the
cough, soothes and heals the inflamed
air passages, and expels the cold from
the system." For sale by Paulos &

LAST YEAR RECALLED
11 While the wet and cloudy weather,
: prevailing for the last month or so,
1 ! which has kept out the cheerful sun
' j shine soaking the oarth and dam pen
| ing the spirits of humanity, lias not
I been precisely the kind to covet, nev
'; ertheless it is by no means unprece-
dented.
Those persons who think we never
had such weather before must have
short memories. As a matter of fact
last spriug as relates to damp and
cloudy weather was nearly identical
with the present.
As late as June 14th the newspapers
contained discouraging reports as to
the crops. The cloudy weather retard
ed the growth of corn aud vegetables,
while as the effect of the extraordin
ary moisture the weeds grew in pro
fusion, the ground being too wet to
enable the farmers to properly cultiv
ate the fields.
The rain interfered with the success
of the Six-Conntv Firemen's conven
tion held in Danville. On .luno 4th a
settled rain hold up the work of de
corating the town. On the 10th of the
month, during the convention,a heavy
rain caused the mud to lie in the
streets to a depth of several inches aud
it was necessary to eliminate East
Market ami East Front streets from
the route of the parade.
Just as warmer and more seasonable
weather followed last year so it may
bo relied upon to follow this year.
One of these days the clouds will break
and wo shall have warm sunshine and
plenty of it. Lot us hope that the'rain
of which wo now have a superabund
ance, may not cease altogether as last
year but that wo may have a generous
distribution of moisture throughout
the entire season.
CROPS RETARDED
Farmers in this section say the cold
wet weather of the past few weeks has
effected crops unfavorably, especially
corn.
The com fields are yellow where J
they should be green. Grass has grown j
but slowly in spite of the wet,making i
ilevelopmont so tardy that some farm- i
i>rs will get only half a crop or less. ;
Taken altogether, the spring of 11)10 I
will be remembered as extreme. Start j
ing off with excessive warmth,vegeta
tion was forced naturally ahead. Then
Bold came anil retarded it. Though it
is very cheering to have warm weath
er iu March, it is better to have it in
April and May, when it is seasonable.
A farmer from the northern end of
the county, who has a largo acreage
i)f coi u out, said yesterday:
"Corn is germinating rather poorly,
»ud is contending with a ' larger crop
of cut-worms, with the crows and
blackbirds doing their best at it. It is
having a very backward start and
warm weather is much needed for it.
Committed to Jail.
Anna and Elizabeth Ashton were ar
raigned before Justice Dalton Tuesday
night charged with committing open
lewd aud indecent acts. In default of
two hundred dollars bail they were
committed to jail.
COURT HOLOS
SHORT SESSION
Court held an adjourned session Sat
urday morning witli his Honor, Judge
Evans and Associates Blee and Wel
liver on the bench.
The principal business on hand was
the hearing of the case of Common
wealth vs. Harry Deibert, the charge
being desertion and non-support. The
case proved t.o one of the exceedingly
unsavory sort, abounding in charges
and counter-charges.
The wife, who is the mother of a
fifteen-month-old babe, ie nineteen
years of ago. The husband is also very
young.
Mrs. Deibert told her story, after j
which her husband was called to the i
stand. Mrs. Deibert of Wilkes-Barre, I
with wliom the couple boarded for
awhile, and Dr. Newbaker, who at- 1
tended the wife during an illness, also
testified.
Judge Evans adjudged the defend- ,
aut guilty and sentenced him to pay
the sum of three dollars per week for
the support of the child and to enter
into recognizance in the sum of two
hundred dollars.
Edward S. Gearhart asked permis- 1
siou of the court to file an amended !
statement in the case of Albert H.
Deeter vs. the county of Montour. The
action was brought originally, tore- '
cove,r damages for a horse that was in
jured by falling on the creo-resinated
blocks forming the driveway of the
river bridge. The horse died recently
and the amended statement relates to
a new action brought to recover for
] the full value of the horse—four hun
! dred dollars.
The amended statement alleges that
the horse was lost as the result of the
| negligence of the defendant county,
I " which had taken upon itself the legal
duty to keep and maintain in proper
repair and in a safe and passable con
dition all of the county, bridges with
in its proper and legal limits.
"Among the bridges committed to the
care and maintenance of the borough
is the "Danville river bridge," the
wooden block floor of which on the
14tli day of November, 1908, was per- j
in it ted by the county commissioners to ;
become so slippery that the said floor !
became dangerous for those driving I
over the same with horses and vehic- j
les.
"On November 14,1908, as the plain- 1
tiff was driving his two-horse team
i hitched to a wagon over the driveway ,
of the said bridge, at the northern en
trance or approach, within the comity
of Montour,one of the horses fell down

Raised Tax Ratea.
Another mill has been added to tho
tax rato of Sunbury. This was done j
by tho school board in fixing the rate
of the coming year at eight mills for ;
school purposes, and two mills for
bond payments. The erection of two
new school buildings, upon tho bonds
for which interest must bo paid and
retain amounts set aside for thoir re- j
tirement from circulation, also added j
a burden which could only be met by ,
increasing the tax rate.
This is tho second raise of the taxes |
of tho Sunbury people this spring. [
The first was by the borough council, !
which has even greater difficulty than
the school board in paying the var- J
ions debts inclined in the courso of a
year.

WILL SOON
JOUR STATE
The Election Law Commission lias
completed its preliminary work and
will begin its tour of the state late
this month. A public meeting will be
held in Pittsburg on the 27th of Juno,
when the chairmen of the political
committees and such other bodies as
I are taking an interest in the subject
will be invited to present views. The
; commission believes that several
| changes are advisable especially as to
! the form of the ballot,and in its form
al statement covering its work as to
the form of the ballot, among other
; things stated :
j "The commission is at present in
: clined to the belief that a system of
separate party ballots issued by the
| state, but distributed freely in ad
; vance of the election,as well as at the
polls, and of which a record is kept,is
1 private election bootli in an official
envvelope delivered to him at the
polls, and of which a record is kept,
is pereferable to the present single
sheet blanket ballot delivered and
marked only at the poles.
'"A system by which the voter de
posits in secrecy and in an official en
velope a ballot containing only the
name of the persons for whom he votes
1 would combine much of tho simplicity
of tho old vest pocket ballot,with most
of tho safeguards of the single sheet
ballot. This would also eliminate the
necossity for any assistance of the vot
er in the tooth, but would permit him
to have all the assistance lie desired at
home.
It is farther stated that it seems to
be concerted that the uniform primary
system has not accomplished all that,
its advocates hoped, and that it in
volves some serious disadvantages.
The commission also discussed the
recommendation of the educational
commission that the ballots for school
director should he non-partisan."
