SO badly as to render walking difficult.
He left on the 2 III ID. l.. & w. train

Walter L. Mains Circus.

The famous, original and only Cycle

Sunbury and vicinity their first sight
of what has been called the marvellous
"Cyclc Whirl.' 80 1t is a large bowl

the vast arena of the Great Walter l..

This sensational moqurt has proven
one of the most unique features ever

IN adequate conception of the daring
and exciting act The riders race on
track that is shaped more like a fun

females racing at lightning speed
around the pcrilousIy straight sides
As the riders pile on steam they
are pusumg up the sIdcs OF the track
by centrifugal force, until their wheels
and bodies are in an almost horizontal
position. They also introduce single
and ensemble riding of all kinds, and
during the act will play a game, of
cycle polo.
Theirs are scores of other new feat
urcs with this tremendous show. For
nervc-tingling and amazing Ierfor-
nance, the Great Walter l.. Main ag
gregation seem well entitled to the
championship. The aerial part of the
elaborate and brilliant circus program
presents the most noted of EurOp-
can and American male and female
aerialists, III a phenomenal and novel
series of mid-air flights, leaps, dives,
evolutions, catches and other exclusive
feats, many of which are seemingly
impossible to beings without wings.
1t is universal exhibition of the most
original and daring exploits, thrilling
and attractive.

DANVILLE WON
FIRST GAME

The base ball season has opened and
Danville won its first game. The OPP
posing club was from Sunbury and
the contest was witnessed by large
number of people. DcWitt's Park was
the mecca for all lovers of the nation
al game Saturday afternoon and every
body that saw the game was happy
over the result The visitors played
good ball but the "Old Timers" were
little too swift for them, the score
being to ;. At the end of the fifth
inning Culp who was pitching for
Sunbury retired from the box and was
succeeded by Nurcr a left handed
twirler. The new man had mystify-
ing drop that fooled the home batters
and only one run was scored by the
"Old Timers after he got i'll the box.
The "OId Timers" were in good
form and put up very good game.
But one error was made by the home
nine while Sunbury had eight. Am

and Yerrick threw in a beautiful ball
from second base, cutting off runner
at the nome plate.
The whole game was excellent. the
team work of both clubs being of first
quality. The Sunburians are all emp
loyes of the Susquehanna silk mill
and have the best club i'll that city.
There is no doubt that they will play
here again and every time they come
a big crowd will greet them. The
"Old Timers" knew full well that
many admirers were on hand and gave
all friends good value for their money.
The detailed score shows just how
the first victory was accomplished:

FOUND DEAD
IN His FIELD

The quiet farming community in
the vicinity of strawberry Ridge, this
county, Thursday was the scene of a
sudden death, which occurred under
circumstances that invests the event,
sad enough i'll itself, with an addi-
tional pathos that can not fail to
touch the most unsympathetic heart.
Charles Vognetz, a farmer So years
of age, representative and esteemed
man of the community, late in the
afternoon was found dead in his field
After dinner in excellent spirits he
mounted his horses and rode to the
field where he was engaged in plough
ing. 1t was not long afterward that
George Vognetz, brother of the de-
ceased, who was working in a neigh
boring field noticed that the team was
standing idle. An hour or more passed
and the horses although they once or
twice changed position were still un-
employed. The man naturally became
apprehensive and waiting while long
er he went over to the field to investi-
gate.
Arriving at the spot he was horrifi-
ed TO find his brother lying PROSTATE,
partly III the furrow with his head
and shoulders resting on the ploughed
ground. There was no sign of pulsa-
ton at the heart and the body was i'll
a manner cold.
Help was summoned and the man
now given up for dead, was carried to
his home, A messenger was dispatch
ed for DR.. Hoffa, the family physician,
who accompanied by his son William
promptly responded, arriving at the
stricken farm ho1se shortly after )
O'Clock. Rigor mortis had already set
III indicating that death had occurred
at least three hours before, very soon
after the deceased began work for the
afternoon. The burrows showed that
he had ploughed just two rounds.
Mr.. Vognets was i'll his usual health
at noon and as he went to the field
nothing was more remote from the
minds Of the family than that death
was lurking near. The condition of the
ploughed ground indicated that he had
died without struggle, neither were
there any marks visible on his body
to indicate that he was the victim of
violence i'll any form.
The history of his case. however,
would seem to throw some light on
his death. About three weeks ago
while ploughing he was struck by the
handles of the plow, sustaining an
ugly blow upon the chest near the pit
of the stomach. At intervals since
then, it seems, he suffered with acute
pains i'll the region of the heart
These, 1t appears, gave him grave con-
Germ and on a couple of occasions he
was heard to remark that he feared
they would kill him yet" The
blow, it is thought, superinduced a
heart trouble, which was the cause of
his taking off.
The day before his death Mrs. George
Vognets of Milton, who died during
visit, was buried from the home of
the deceased. As he viewed the re-
mains it is related that he turned aside
and said with evidence of deep emo
tion: Il wonder who will be next. "
The deceased farmer was a brother
of G. b. Vognets, the Strawberry Ridge
merchant and was we'll known in this
city. He is survived by his wife and
and on daughter.

.OUTCROPPINGS
OF COAL

The assertion that Edward German
while excavating for his new dwelling
on East Market street has discovered
vein of coal will no doubt be taken
for piece of nonsense, Il joke gotten
off at the expense Of the genial Water
Commissioner. We beg to state, how
ever, that the fact is set forth in all
seriousness and that il remained for
Mr.. German to discover that a few
feet under the surface at spot. dur
ing the last century, troddcn and re-
trodden by the towns population, lie
outcroppings of anthracite coal.
The excavation for the cellar has
laid bare two distinct veins each about
two inches thick, assures III the orig
inal deposit of gravel filled with what
is Enthusiastically a form of coal, lying
at an angle of nearly 10 degees and in
creasing in thickness rs they descend.
The outcropping resembles the coal
found at Kipp's Run, which very readi-
ly burns, although of not sufficient
commercial value to justify digging
very deep for it, 1t is clearly anthra-
cite coal although very soft as is us
ually incidental in outcroppings.
Whether the mineral found III Mr..
Corman's cellar leads to a deposit of
any extent or whether the coal if dug
would be found of any value are OF
course matters which will have TO be
determined by experiment.
On these points Mr.. German expects
to obtain full information before he Is
through with the several excavations
incidental to the building of his new
house 1t would be remarkable if what
was begun as a cellar should end As a
coal mine
