Halloween Fittingly Observed.

Noise and confusion relgned on our
streets Friday night there were fitting
figures i'll the darkness, shouts and
laughter and the footing Of horns; the
general hub-bub falling nothing short
of the traditions of the night when
disembodied spirits are supposed to
walk abroad and play uncanny tricks
upon the living.
The boys and girls were out in force
and it is needless to say they put in
good time 1t was scarcely dark when
they began their tricks and it WAS
long after 10 O'Clock before quiet was
fully restored If either of the two
We're the most numerous and aggres-
sive it was the girls, who certainly
made the most noise.
The prudent pedestrian Friday night
avoided the crowd, rs he was apt TO
be made the victim of some trick in
passing. Those any way incautious
were apt to emerge from the crowd
powdered over with -four, if not
charcoal. Here and there person
thus victimized became very angry and
threatened all sorts of things, but the
majority took the pranks good natur-
edly.
Here and there Halloween parties
about town added to the general mer-
riment. The principal function, no w
ever, appropriate to the night was q
masked ball in the armory held by the
younger set.

Stores We're Busy Saturday.

Blu siness was very brisk in this city
on Saturday, especially in the even
ing. The streets and stores were
thronged with shoppers and many pur-
chases were made. Many of the merch
ants report exceptionally good sales.
The snappy weather of last week and
the coming of Jack Frost in real
earnest made the need for winter cloth
Ing imperative and it was in these
lines that the most business was done.
1t is not amiss to remark that the
stores of Danville are the best to be
found III this part of the state. The
local merchants are not only up-to-
date, but i'll many respects are all cad
of it, All the stores are we'll lighted,
have large display windows and are
cheerful places for the prospective
buyers. The stocks are of the latest
and buyers can find just what they
want at satisfactory prices.

RAILING Mill Will Resume,

The Danville Rolling Mill, operated
by James Mallen & Co., which closed
down several weeks ago, will probably
resume about January first. The
reason for closing down was the in
ability to get sufficient coal to keep
the plant in operation.
To reporter of this paper member
of the firm stated that despite all rum
ors to the contrary the mill would be
started within two months. Nothing
has been disturbed about the rolling
mill, but the shafting and other mat
erial in the nail department, which
has not been in use for several years,
was taken out and sold The small
amount of stock on hand was also dis
posed of and the whole mill has been
given thorough overhauling.
The high prices paid for soft coal
during the last few weeks the mill was
run affected the profits, but it was
not until the firm was unable to secure
fuel that it was decided to shut down
until the coal market became normal.

PopularitY Of Ralph Kisner.

The election of Ralph Kisner, Esq,
as District Attorney of Montour coun-
ty is a recognition of his popularity
and ability. He has only been III this
county five years, but in that time the
friendships made enabled him 10 re-
ceive vote that any candidate might
we'll take pride in. He was the only
Republican that carried the county
and his plurality is close to four hun
dred.
When the vote cast for Pattison and
the other Democratic candidates is
taken into consideration the figure by
which Mr.. Kisner won is highly flat
teriDg. His election meets with gon-
eral satisfaction and he is kept busy
receiving the congratulations of many
friends. There was no party principle
involved in his campaign, but it was
simply one of popularity and he ran
exceptionally we'll throughout the en-
tire county, as the returns from the
