Charles Eisenharts Severe Sentence,

| Charles Eisenhart, of Shamokin, who
was indicted by the Grand Jury Tues
day morning for larceny, plead guilty
! to the charge when arraigned III court
! during the afternoon, and was senten-
ced to pay the costs of the court, a fine
of $50 and to return the chattels stolen
or pay the value thereof and to undergo
a term of solitary confinement in the
Eastern Penitentiary for one year.
The crime for which Eisenhart must
serve this sentence was committed on
the evening of February 9th, in this city.
Prior to the theft, ,Eisenhart resided with
his older brother Lewis on North Mar
shall street, in Shamokin, his father and
m other being dead.
In January of this year he came to
Danville to procure work and while here
met Patrick McFadden, an employe at
the blast furnace, Eisenhart also secured
a job at the furnace and both he and
McFadden boarded together on East
Market street.
While McFadden was at work on Feb
ruarv 5th, Eisenhart took the old mans
savings, which amounted to $40 80, and
made good his escape. On the 2lst of
June he was apprehended at Shamokin
and brought to this city, where he was
given hearing and held for the Grand
Jury.
Eisenhart is SO years old and unmarri-
ed. When sentence was pronounced he
did not seem to care and took it as
matter of fact
Never before in the history Of the
country could it be said that the peo-
pie we're too busy to think and read
and attend political meetings. But it
is fact this year. The farmers are
still at work, the planter is busy, the
laboring men in every industry are
employed full time and overtime.
The fall trade has begun, and, unlike
former Presidential years, everyone is
hustling. This is not apathy, on the
contrary, it is the greatest Republican
argument that can be used. These
people, however, will not be too busy
to register and vote. And they will
vote to continue to be busy, not to
close the mills and destroy the farmers
market. 1t is McKinleyism against
Organism, and the busy man under
stands the situation even if he be too
busy and too tired to go to political
meetings and march through the streets.
And when the campaign is over and
McKinleyism triumphs, then we shall
be buster still, buster than ever before
in our history. 1t will be the votes OF
millions Of the ''too busy" men that
will snow Mr.. Bryan and his issues
under on the 9th. Of November.

DANVILLE ELEVEN
DEFEATED
In Their First Game of the Season The
Second Half Fierce Fight.

Ihe Danville High School Athletic As
sociation football eleven, went down to
defeat before the Catawissa high school
boys on Saturday afternoon to the tune
Of Is too.
Although Danville lost, they put up
good game for the first of the season.
As 1t was, the boys after playing the
first half rounded into form and when
they went on the gridiron it was with
the determination to win.
1t was $3.50 when the elsvens came on
the gridiron. Catawissa won tue toss
and chose the uphill goal, giving Dan
vile the ball. Montague kicked off for
Danville, the ball going to Catawissa's
% yard line, where Wright secured it
and advanced to the centre of the field
before he was downed by Bailey Quick
formation was the order and Catawissa
by good work made Danville's ends for
10 and 20 yards. Catawissa by pound
ing Danville's centre, succeeded in push
ing Wright over the line for a touch
down, but Klechner failed in his try for
goal.
Montague again kicked of for DAN
vile the ball going to Lewis, who ad-
vanced it Is yards before he was downed
| by Montague. Catawissa with the down
| hill work in their favor, succeeded in
carrying the ball in Danville's territory
and by a wedge formation pushed Bidd-
ing over the line for another touchdown
klechner failed again in his try for goal.
Danville again put the pigskin in mo-
ton but Catawissa was playing fast
game and as the time for the first half
was called, Catawissa put klechner over
the line for touchdown. Klechner sue
ceeding in his try for goal
In the second half Danville started to
pull themselves together and they put
up game worthy of older elevens The
line was changed and there was snap
about their playing that had not shown
itself before. The best they could do,
however, was to hold the Catawisss
punters down and they did it. 1t was
fierce fight, first one side getting the
ball on downs and then the other, and
as the whistle sounded at the end of the
second half, the ball was in the centre
of the field neither side securing touch
down through this half.
Following is the line up and summary:
