An effort should be made to have
our big wheat crop transported in
bulk. The sacks to hold 10, 900,
600 bushels of wheat will cost the
farmers of the Lewiston valley
$3.50, 900. This expense is an ex-
travagant waste, occasioned only
by delay In the adjustment of
matters on the part of the trans
portation companies. There is no
other place in the United States
where this tax is levied upon the
wheat grower.

The Lewiston valley offers more
natural facilities for the establish
ment Of large manufacturing enter
priscs than any other district in
the United States. The water sys-
tenn will ever guarantee unimpaired
transportation for Lewiston which
will guarantee against monopoly,
in the carrying trade. The raw
materials are at hand for a wide
range of manufacture in the Clear
water basin. It is assured now
that coal in large beds lies under
our mountains near the deposits of
iron, and wide range Of more
precious metals. We have wood
in great quantity and variety that
can be brought to manufacturing
centers by gravity systems. And
we have unlimited water power.
There are a hundred mountain
streams that pour over natural
damns, creating power enough to
move all the mills in the world.
This power is available for any
chosen center Of operation. It can
be transmitted by electric currents
from thousand water falls to turn
thousand mills in Lewiston. In
these natural facilities we have a
heritance that will pour fortune in
our midst in the near future.

WILL ASK HIM
TO REMAIN
Committees to Urge Mr.. Laumaster to
Withdraw his Resignation.

1t was expected that a successor to
w. d. Laumaster, as general secretary
of the Y. M. g. A. would be appointed
at the meeting of the board of directors
of the Association held last evening. In
stead, it was decided to make another
effort to have Mr.. Laum aster withdraw
his resignation, and nothing was done
about appointing his successor.
A committee from the Ladies' Auxili-
ary of the Association met with the dl-
rectors. They expressed the desire of all
members of the Auxiliary to have Mr..
Laumaster remain. They stated their
belief that the Association work will suf-
fer greatly if he leaves. They asked that
an effort be made to have him remain.
After the situation was thoroughly
discussed, the directors decided not to
consider the question of successor for
Mr.. Laumaster, but act on the ladies'
suggestion.
The president was accordingly en-
powered to appoint committee consist
ing of four directors, who shall wait on
Mr.. Laumaster together with commit
tee of four ladies from the Auxiliary, to
see if they can prevail on him to with
draw his resignation. The president
will appoint this committee later.

ARE ALL CASES
REPORTED?
Board of Health Records Show Only Five
Gases of Diphtheria.

A member Of the Board of Health was
yesterday asked concerning the reports
about diphtheria in this city. He said
that the records of the Board show only
i've cases of that disease to exist i'm Dan
vile at present These records also show
that during the past month only two
deaths have resulted from the disease in
this city.
When his attention was called to the
TACT that several other deaths have been
reported to the newspapers as having
resulted from diphtheria, he said that if
those statements were correct, there has
been negligence on the part of the at
tending physicians in reporting the cases
to the Board. The same was true, he
SAID, In regard to the number of casesin
the city at present, if there are as many
cases as have been unoficially stated
according to the reports that have
been made 10 the Board, there are fewer
cases OF dIphtheria in the city now than
Tor any time for two months past. The
Health official said, however, that he
believed that some cases have not been
reported to the Board that should have
been.
In regard TO the difference between
dlphtheria and membraneous Group, a
prominent physician said yesterday that
many physicians make no distinction,
and that membraneous Group is just as
contagious as diphtheria.

Improvements at St. Josephs Church Near
ly Completed.

Ihe workmen Tuesday began taking
down the scaffolding that has been used
during the decorating of the interior of
st. Joseph's Catholic church. Itisex.
pected that the improvements to the
church will be completed before the
Christmas services. A little touching
up OF the side walls and painting the
seats is all that remains to be done,
This work will add greatly to the in
terror beauty of the church. The ceiling
has been painted in distemper colors. In
the center is painting of the "Imma
culate Conception" ten by seventeen
feet in size. At the four corners are the
four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John. The side walls have been
painted in oils, with ornaments over the
windows. The paintings of the "Nativ-
ity'' and "Annunciation" have been
completed, and will be placed over the
side affairs this week. Over the organ is
"St. Cecilia" The columns have been
dressed in imitation marble. The sane
tuary has been nicely decorated, and
the interior of the church has been i'm
proved.
The regular services of the church have
not been interrupted while this work
was in progress. The contractor for
these Improvements was F. Baraldi, of
Philadelphia The artists who have
done the work are also from Philadel-
phia, and are A. Loeffier, Philip Erbach
er and Joseph McDonough.

Salute for Oentury's Close.

clded to do their part to give the old
century "send off" and welcome in the
new one. Since they have made a start
they are desirous of having other organ
izations of the town join with them and
make the celebration general
Captain J. Beaver Gearhart and the
members have decided that on Monday
evening, December 81, the company will
be divided into several firing squads,
which will be assigned to different parts
of town. Just at midnight, these squads
will fire salutes.
The company members hope that
plans can be consummated to make this
part of the program simply the finale of
more extensive ceremonies. The officers
suggest that if other organic ations will
join with them, parade might be held
earlier in the evening to which music,
torches and fireworks would add inter.

HOUSE AND BARN
BURNED DOWN
Miss Hartman Rescued From her House as
the Roof was Falling

The blackened and thoroughly rcast-
ed bodies of five COWS and horse and a
few twisted pieces of iron were all that
remained Friday morning to mark
the spot where few hours before had
stood the barn Of Katherine Fous t, at
East Danville. Not even as much as
that remained besides the founda-
ZION walls, of the house of Miss
'Teenie'' Hartman, few feet east of
the barn.
Miss Hartman, who is eighty years
old, is an invalid. Mrs. Ann Boomer,
who cared for her, and she were alone in
the house. Shortly after one o'clock
Mrs. Boomer awoke to find the house all
in flames. She succeeded in dragging
the old woman out just as the roof was
falling in.
Before that Miss Foust awoke to dis
cover that her barn was nearly burned
to the ground.
Il was some time before any of the
neighbors could be aroused; and then
all that could be done was to form a
bucket brigade to extinguish the flames
on Lloyd krum's house and other build
ings in the neighborhood.
Miss Hartman and Mrs. Bloomer es-
capped from the burning house with only
their night clothes. Neighbors soon
contributed articles of clothing to pro-
tect them.
Nothing was saved from the house,
and a calf, badly bnrned, was all that
was saved from the barn.
The origin of the fire is not definitely
known. 1t started in the barn and is
supposed to have been caused by some
smouldering fire left by young men who
gave "belIing" party early in the even
ing to newly married couple living a
few doors from the burned buildings.
The serenaders were not permitted to
enter the house Of the bride and groom,
and it is supposed that they went into
the barn to celebrate.
About nine o'clock Miss Foust heard
a noise in the barn that sounded like
some one driving the bung from beer
keg.
No one, who had business in the barn,
was in the building after dark.
Besides the barn and live stock, Miss
Foust lost all of her hay and grain wag-
ons, farming implements, etc. Her en-
tire loss amounted to 5000 or 500, with
no insurance.
Miss Hartman carried 500 insurance
on her house and 5000 on the furniture
which nearly covered the loss.
During the day Wellington Hartman,
a nephew of the burned-out woman,
took her to Grovania, where she has
several relatives

Danville Merchants Complain of Petty
Pilfering.

The holiday season is the time when
merchants always expect shoplifters to
be most active. A number of Danville
merchants say that this year they have
been bothered more than common by
light fingered" persons.
1t is not thought that any profession
al shoplifters have been in the city, but
the pilfering has been done by residents
of town, and frequently by persons
whom no one would suspect.
1t is mostly articles of small value that
have been taken. In dry goods stores
handkerchiefs, pieces of ribbons, lace or
such small articles seem to have the
most attraction for the pilferers. Most
of this kind of work is done by women,
who seem to be unable to resist the temp
tation to slip exposed articles under
their capes or jackets or up their sleeves.
Several people have been detected in
committing the thefts, and when spok-
en- to about it, they have readily given
up what they have taken, so that no
complaints have been preferred. In some
cases the clerks have said nothing when
they have seen women take articles of
small value.
One woman, who is we'll able to buy
any thing she wants, looked over all of
the articles on counter of Mill street
store, slipped a three cent toy under her
cape and went out. The merchant who
saw her commit the theft said nothing
to her. He says he hopes she is deriv-
ing much satisfaction from the toy.
Even grocers and confectioners COM
plain that they are losing too much in
this way. Some people succeed in slip
ping into their pockets or mouths more
than they purchase, while waiting to
buy half pound of candy.

Mr., Byerly's Christmas Candy,

Officer Lewis Byerly is certain that he
will receive at least one Christmas pres
sent this year. 1t will be the same piece
of candy that he has received fourteen
times before during the past thirty years
and the donor will be Henry Search, of
Ash street. Thirty years ago, Messrs.
Byerly and Search were standing in
store on the day before Christmas, when
Mr.. Byerly said: Henry, give me a
Christmas present"
Laughingly, Mr. Search broke stick
of striped candy in two and gave half of
it to his friend. The next year Mr..
Byerly gave back the same piece of
candy, and the next year it came back
to him. So for thirty years the candy
has spent one year in the possession of
one man, and the next the other has
had it. There is now less than an inch
of the candy stick left. For years it has
been carefully tied and preserved in a
small box ready for its annual exchange
of owners.
