G. P., sixty strong, came marching into town Monday, after a week's encampment with the regular army at Gettysburg. In common witli the other Pennsyl vania commands the Twelfth regiment pulled out of camp yesterday morning arriving at Sunburv in time to enable Company F to oatch the Pennsylvania train, east,due to arrive at South Dan ville at 2:24 o'clock. The guardsmen marched to the armory where they were disbanded. Notwithstanding the intense heat and the constant maneuvering there wero no cases of serious illness arnoug the members of Company F during the week. Several wero seized with at tacks of cramp but prompt medical at tendance availed to bring about speedy recoverv. That tho week's experience at the camp of instruction has been of great value to tho guardsmen all agree. The duties, which wore exacting and ardu ous enough for all, did not spare the officers by any means. If anything the latter had a little the worst of it. One instance is cited where the officers aft er marching ten miles with the men in the forenoon during the afternoon were obliged to participate in a speci al maneuver that required an addition al march of five miles. Fifteen miles in sucli tomperatures as prevailed last week would have weighed heavily on the enlisted men and constituted a gratuity that the offioers did not covet. Other marches of eight to twelve miles were not unusual. On the whole the work for the priv ates may have boon a little lighter than experienced at some of the Na tional Cfuaid encampments, hut the camp of instruction was unique in that the guardsmen were kept con tinually moving. Now that it is all over men and officers alike find recom pense in the thought that they acquit ted themselves in a manuei to elicit the highest commendation from the officers of the regular aruiy. The Pennsylvania Guards received their pay Saturday morning. Each guardsman was paid $4.50 as the part that the government contributes. The balance will come from the State and will be paid in a few days by the us ual method. THE PROPER COURSE Information of Priceless Value to Every Danville Citizen.

Close study of crop conditions in every county in the State during a systematic "swing around the circle" leads Deputy Secretary of Agriculture A. L. Martin to say that the farmers throughout Pennsylvania generally could not well wish for more satis factory showings. In acreage and yield nearly every thing is above the average. The only field crop which is at all dubious is corn which has not yet completely re covered from its tardy start due to the backward season, but conditions are eucouragimr, and Deputy Secretary Martin is of the opinion that favor able weather during August and Sep tember will mean a normal cop of corn. Early frosts may work havoc, however, or other conditions may materialize during the next sixty or eighty days which will destroy much of the crop. j Apples, too, will not be up to norm- Jal this year, but other fruits, berries I and garden truck have all been protit j able. Big apple crops can be looked i for,says Mr. Martin,only in the south ! eastern part of the State and in the i fertile Cumberland Valley. Through ; the remainder of the State the crop ; may be fair, except in the western ! counties; late frosts in the country radiating from Pittsburg spelled death to the apple blossoms there. Deputy Secretary Martin's crop sur ! vey has occupied much of his time for ! the past three or four months, roughly speaking, and for the past three weeks Ihe has been systematically [gathering jup the loose ends. His reports from I most of the counties are the result of | personal visits and observations; from | other districts he has careful reports from reliable agents, j "Wheat is au excellent crop," he i said today, " and I expect to see the ! yield at least ten per cent, above the | normal. The crops all matured well ; and the grain is now threshed, gener ally speaking. Some of it has been j hauled to the mills. ! "I am somewhat dubious about the j price the farmer will receive, how ever. He ought to get at least one dol j lar per bushel, but I don't know that he will. Last year every county paid more than one dollar ami the average price over the State was sl.lO. I hear that in some sections the buyers are • offering a few cents less than a dollar, ! but that is scarcely a fair price to the | farmer. The average yield in the State last year was eighteen bushels to the j acre and I expect to see the average this year somewhat higher. "Oats, too, will witness a substanti al advance; in fact, I think that this | crop will ho twenty por cent, greater ! than usual. Last year the average ' yield of oats was twenty-six bushels Ito tho acre. This year's crop shows j every promise of doing as well oi bet i ter, barring adverse conditions which ' the future may hold. "Hay is excellent. The ciop will bo at least ten per cent, above normal. I This is due to the increased acreage I planted with alfalfa and clover; I don't recall a year which has been so I generally excellent for clover. It is fine, and the farmer will reap the j benefit. "Pennsylvania, as usual, leads the j entire country in rye production. No other State approaches us in produc ; tion of this grain.'' ! "Due to interest in the liquor busi j ness"? interjected the listener. I"I can't say about that," smiled I Mr. Martin, "but the fact remains. We produce an immense quantity of | rye and I look for this year's ciop to | bo 10 per cent, above normal,the same | ratio of increase as for wheat and hay. | "Conditions are also pood for buck ! wheat, another crop in which Penn ; sylvania stands first iu point of pro duction and likewise in quality. Farm i ers are now seeding their fields with I buckwheat and all indications point to a crop above the average. I "Corn is the one backward crop. I I do not want to be an alarmist and see ,no occasion for being one in conuec ' tion with the corn crop, but neverthe less I cannot be as optimistic about it as about the other cereals. The acre age is good—excellent—better than us ual. For the last two weeks corn has been growing by leaps and bounds, j But you see the corn practically stood j still for three weeks during May and June when the late spell of spring weather struck us. The result was that thojtlrst cultivation came along just at the time of the wheat harvest; many farmers could scarcely give their cornfields proper attention then for lack of time. Two more cultivations are due. Without desiring to discour age anyone, I can only say that the corn is not iu the best of condition, but that favorable weather until the end of September will give us a good crop." Mr. Martin says the agitation about the high cost of living is reflected up on the farms and many farmers are economizing out of apprehension even where no immediate necessity for such care exists. One of the apt illustra tions of the effect of high prices is found iu the farmers not painting their buildings this year. "1* Life Worth Saving?"

TREE FALLS ON TROLLEY WIRE A mishap occurred in connection witli the improvement* on East Mark et street about noon Monday, which put the cars of the Danville & Sun bury Transit oompany out of commis sion for several hours. George Gardner, with a couple of assistants, was engaged in removing the big tree in front of Robert Oath cart's residence. The limbs had all been removed and nothing but the ponderous trunk remained. About 11 :30 o'clock the ground had been excavated around the tree and the roots were cut loose. The trunk was being lowered, when, contrary to calculations, it swung around, falling into tlie middle of the street bearing tho trolley wire down to the ground. The pressure on the span wire some forty yards east of the spot was such as to pull down the trolley pole on the north side of the street,the support of which was weak ened by the excavation. The strain caused the guy wire to snap in two and the entire system looked as if it had been struck by a tornado. To add to tho confusion the trolley wire,bent down to the grouud, was in dangerous proximity to the steel rail and was spitting fire at an alarming rate. The light plant was called up as quickly as possible and notified of the accident, when the current was shut off. The trolley car, which happened I to be at the hospital, was stranded for ; the time being. ; All hands including the chief of-pol j ice, who had just appeared on the 1 spot, took hold and helped to remove , the obstruction. The trunk of the tree ! had to be sawed in two and thus by J the hour of noon the track was cloar i ed. Damage to the overhead system, [ however, was sucli that street car ser ; vice could not be resumed until about ' the middle of the afternoon.

Pharmacy HEAVY STORM The heaviest shower of the season i took place about four o'clock Saturday j afternoon. The rainfall was enormous, | j while the wind was almost cyclonic in its furv. I The shower approached from the j northwest and was accompanied with j vivid lightning and loud thunder. The | gutters were inadequate to carry off I the water and the pavements were I flooded; at many points the streets I were wholly under water. When the water subsided the sidewalks were j found covered with a deposit of mud land gravel. On East Market street the I surface water poured into the old well at the Johnson property, which lias been abolished to make room for pav ing. Before the rain the well had been filled up level to the surface; after ward, the tilling Was found to have sunk nearly ten feet and the well had to bo covered with plank to protect it. In Rush township thestorm was ac- I compauied with hail. The greatest damage was done by the wind anil the rain, which at places beat down the oats and the corn level with the ground. The corn, which is still vigor ous,will undoubtedly rise,but the oats which is nearly roady to cut, will re main lodged, thereby entailing much additional work in the harvesting of it.

GAME INCREASING IN PENNSYLVANIA Sportsmen and others in this part of the State will receive much valuable information from the annual report made to the Board of Game Commis sioners of Pennsylvania by Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, the secretary. The report follows in part: "The inorease of SOUR and insectiv orous birds is self-evident; whereerv Igo splendid reports are being re ceived of game birds hatching in spite of the cold, wet spring. Quail winter ed well and appear in iucreasing num bers, especially in the western and southwestern sections. Huffed gronse are reported as doing well in sections where they are found at all. Turkeys are increasing rapidly, a flock of six being seen by several in a game preserve at Mount Alto, Fran klin county. No birds of this kind have been seen in that section for years and it must be that these birds have come from what is called "the flats" in Adams county fully 15 miles from where they wero seen. I planted two liens ttiere two years ago, there being one wild gobbler left in that section. "For some months past, I might say years, I havo been investigating tho characteristics of the Hungarian quail. I am satisfied that, in many instances, protection to our own native birds or animals means more benefit than the introduction of foreign species. With this idea in mind, I have been collect ing data relative to the special quali fications of the Hungarian quail and, so far as I can learn, feel satisfied it is no better suited to our climate than our own bob white. I believe that ad ditional protection to our own native bobwhite will result in more good to the commonwealth than will the pur chase and distribution of any number of Hungarian Quail. ' Deer are increasing rapidly aud speedily throughout the woodlands all over the commonwealth. We have had nioro reports of deer having boeu run by dogs during the past spring than for several years added together prior to this date. All this, to my mind.ow ing largely to the fact that deer have been compelled to scatter and have gone into the dog country,rather than that the dogs have gone into that sec tion formerly frequented by deer. "The buck law is working admir- I ably and in my opinion should le eon I tiuuod. I "So far as I have been able to learn | not one human being was either kill ! I'd or wounded in Pennsylvania last : fall in mistake for deer; while in oth j <sr states, where deer could bo killed | regardless of sex, numbers of men I were killed and many more were j wounded. This condition speaks for j itself. I"I have had a large number of let j rers of complaint relative to deer feed | ing upon grain fields in the early I springtime. The parties complaining | were not acquainted with the habits .of this animal, otherwise they would | have known that deer would feed upon I grain only when it was young and j tender, ami also that the early crop | ping, by any animal, of winter grain | is a benefit to the grain rather than ! an injury. " Bear are also iucrt'a.-ing rapidly, j and have been seen in sections of the j State far removed from where such ! animals have been known to exist for many years. Scare stories regarding | the ferocious disposition wrought peo ple to the point of organized crusade j against the bear. I have yet to learn | whore a bear has attacked a human I being or done any serious wrong in | the State. j "Many people are learning to place i the house-cat at the head of the list j of vermin and bird destroyers, where lit belongs. I desire to reiterate what ' I have asserted many times, that it j seems to me anything but a display of | good business judgment to say ttiat | men shall kill game in limited num bers, by special methods and at pre scribed times only, and shall kill wild birds, other than game birds, not at all, and then stand idly by and see the same birds or animals destroyed by vermin. A generous bounty for the extermination of vermin of all kinds, it seems to me, is a solution of the problem. ' The act passed by the legislature of i'JOD forbididng unnaturalized for eign-born residents within this State to hunt in the commonwealth and re moving from their hands the power and temptation to violate the law through that feature denying to these j people the right to owu, or to have in | possession, sliot guns or rifles, has , resulted in a benefit within the com monwealth, not only to our birds and game,but also to our people, that can not be expressed in words or figures." FATAL FALL J. H. Weaver,a well-known resident, died at his home, Ferry street, at 3:15 o'clock Saturday morning, as the re sult of injuries sustained in a fall one week before. On Saturday the '.Hh inst. the de ceased was doing some work on the rear porch, when he fell from a step ladder sustaining internal injuries. It was not thought that ho was fatally hurt at first but toward the close of last week the symptoms became very grave and the case was necessarily fatal. The deceased was a member of Trin ity Methodist Episcopal church, and was highly esteemed. He was aged sixty years and is survived by his wid- j ow and one daughter, Mrs. Ida Cun- | uiugliam.

The total insurance of *IOO,OOO does not, at a very conservative estimate, cover half ! of the actual loss. The entire proceeds of the concert Saturday evening will goto Benton,as ! there will be no expense attached to the event. This is made possible hv the kindness of those who are furnish ing necessities to the committee free of all cost. The opera house lias been tendered free by Manager Edmondson, no pay will be necessary for the ont of town ! talent, the light will be furnished free |by the Standard Electric Light com pany and the printing is being given by The Morning News.
