A TOWN is just what the people make it. Nothing more and nothing less. Every citizen iii it is a factor and a power, be it little or much. Individual in- fluences and interest should be bound together to accomplish good results. Little efforts on the part of all, put forth in the right direction, is what pushes a town into prominence and pros- perity.

EVERY newspaper treasures up in it's memory the names of it's friends and likewise it's enemies. It seldom overlooks an opportun- ity to assist the former, but it never goes out of it's way to as- sist the latter. Human nature is pretty much the same every where. People who show the newspaper man 8 kindness never makes a better observation-disclosures that pays a hundred fold sooner or later. As it has been said there comes time in every man s life when he needs his home paper and needs it badly.

on the freight and in one car found
several men. He told them to get off
the train, which they promptly did
In another car were two other men,
one of whom resisted the officer until
threatened with arrest. Then he at
tempted to escape. but was pulled
back in the car by the officer, who
tried to handcuff the belligcrent.
After lively scuffle the fellow got
out of the car and ran down the track
toward Riverside, closely pursued by
the officer. When he saw that his
prisoner was getting away the officer
drew his revolver and fired two shots
III the ground. This only seemed to
spur the fleeing man to more strenuous
efforts and he soon got such lead that
the officer gave up the chase.

In Need of Cleaning Up.

There must be a good many places
in need of cleaning up about town
Judging from the very bad odors one
is apt to encounter i'll a short stroll.
Atmospheric conditions during the last
few days have been favorable for
bringing out this fact. The cause Of
the impurity is not hard to discover.
In two many of the back yards, which
were no doubt cleaned up i'll the spring,
another lot of refuse now found i'll
various stages of decay has accumulat
ed, which ought to be removed. Many
of the alleys are reeky with disgust
ing odors and these find their way not
only into the streets but into the
dwellings near by.
The time of year has arrived when
refuse of all sort soon becomes putrid,
breeding conditions detrimental to
health. Premises should be kept clean
and plenty of quicklime used.

New Machinery to be Installed.

A lot OF new machinery, already
ordered, will be installed at the Shovel
Works in short time, which will
materially increase the product of the
plant Among the new pieces is a
press for making the largest size OF
scoop shovels. Other machinery to be
installed will merely duplicate what
is already i'll use. The effect will be
to increase the product from $50 dozen
shovels per day as at present to probab
ly 225 dozen per day.
General Manager James l.. Barber
states that his company has now over
come every obstacle. The shovels
manufactured have been brought up to
standard of perfection that enables
them to compete with the product OF
the oldest plants and that although
new goods, " they are now well upon
the market.

Ring NeCked or MOngolian Pheasants


Local sportsmen are much interest
ed i'll the rapid propagation of the Eng
lish or Ring Neck pheasant introduc-
ed into this state during several years
past. The bird, which is also known
as the Mongolian pheasant, is still eX-
ceedingly rare in these parts. 1t is
very beautiful and much larger than
the common pheasant and the mere
appearance of one generally excites a
good deal of wonder and conjecture
among those not up in the subject of
game birds
They are given protection at pres
ent, and of course are not disturbed
by law respecting spOrtsmen.
Three Mongolian pheasants, semi
domesticated in state, reared OH Blue
Springs farm, Washingtonville. along
with several young ones were turned
loose into the fields by W. H. DeLong
some weeks ago. The pheasants with
the exception of one of the hens were
seen at intervals 1t was greatly fear
ed that some i'll fate had befallen the
missing hen until Saturday last when
she was found sitting upon a nest of
eighteen eggs. Game birds, it is said,
as rule hatch out every egg in the
nest so that some idea may be formed
as to the rapidity with which. they pro-
pagate when not molested by gunners.
The members Of the Danville Gun
and Rifle Club commend Mr.. DeLong
very highly for his enterprising efforts
to increase our game supply and they
regard it rs the duty of every sports
man to protect the Mongolian pheas
ants until they have some chance to
multiply. If properly protected it is
believed that these choice and beauti-
full birds in few years will become
as plentiful i'll this neighborhood as
any other kind of pheasants.
Several localities III the state of
Oregon where breeding conditions
were favorable, were stocked with
Mongolian pheasants. They were pro
tected by the game law for ten years.
At the expiration of that time they
had increased and were tame to an eX-
tent never dreamed Of They fire.

HARD COAL
RECEIVED

The Danville Stove & Manufacture
ing company has received from the d.
l.. q W. railroad company, an invoice
of coal consisting of one car load for
use under the boilers which constitutes
the first shipment of coal made to this
city since April last.
1t is hardly likely that this coal
has been mined since the beginning of
the strike, for while several companies
have been running coal through their
breakers it seems pretty well establish
ed that none has been dug since the
! miners went out. Several of the col
lieries i'll the vicinity of Pittston, it
is stated, have kept the pockets at
, their breakers stocked since the begin
ming of the strike and are now max
ing shipments
In view of these shipments the nat
ural presumption might be that the
operators see indications of an early
settlement with the miners. This,
however, would be purely conjectural
The best that can be said for the
shipment i'll question is that it sup
plies coal where needed and helps to
inspire confidence, making 1t manifest
that it is still possible to purchase
coal, although the supply may be
limited. The Hospital for the Insane,
tl,n t..nrlyu o,,1 thn hr,I %
industries for some time longer will
have to be content with river coal,
immense quantities of which have been
shipped to Danvillc during the past
three months. The Hospital alone,
which even at this season consumes
some five tons daily, has up to this
time received nearly a thousand tons
of river coal.
1t is not at all certain that our
townspeople will not have to draw up
on the apparently ineXhaustiblc supply
of river coal i'll filling their cellars
for the coming winter Dealers inter
ested i'll the diggings at Sunbury and
HerndOn are i'll correspondence with
our coal dealers, to whom they offer
coal suitable for household purposes
i'll unlimited quantities. In this con-
nection it is interesting to know that
river coal while only a make shift is
Il luxury that will come high, as the
prices quoted range from 81 to s. per
ton.
Naturally, local dealers will not
place orders for river coal until con-
vinced that the miners strike will be
prolonged into winter. At present
few of the yards have limited sup
ply of soft coal on hand. Should the
strike continue until cold weather a
good many families will attempt to
burn the bituminous article in their
houses. 1t is not known what mea-
sure of success will attend the expert
ment, but it is feared that the chin
neys of the east, built for hard coal,
will not prove suitable for soft coal.
Several dealers, however, incline to
the view that it will be found practic-
able and are looking forward to quite
a trade III soft coal

Brick Plant Waiting on Machinery.

The manufacture of vitritied brick
in this city will not be begun until
next summer. Machinery has been
ordered, but the firms that make it are
so rushed that they cannot supply
what is needed here until too late to
begin operations this fall. The tract
of land on which the yard will be
located is north of this city near the
fair ground
The tests made of the clay and of a
few bricks that have been made show
it to be of the best quality for vitriti-
ed paving bricks. The kilns used in
burning these bricks have to be con-
structed differently from those used in
making building brick AS soon as
the necessary machinery is secured
the work will be begun so that the
manufacturing can be commenced next
spring.
This will be an important industry
and will be the only yard i'll this sec
tion making paving brick. There is
one at Williamsport, Cleartield and
Reading, which supply the market of
the state. The prediction of The News
that the streets of Danville will be
paved with Danville brick seems near
realization.

BITTEN BY A SKUNK.
Carl Bnie Receives a Bad Wound
From a Hydrophobia
lole Cat.

Carl Bnie, son of ]. d. Buie.
the hardware merchant, was bitten
twice in the hand By a hydrophobia
skunk a few nights ago, and re
ceived two bad wounds.
Mr.. Buie was driving his cattle
from Ryan to Chiekssha. On the
road Carl pulled some trash out Of
hollow log, and with it the
skunk. Before he could get out
OF the way the animal bit him
twice in the hand. Mr. Buie tied
a string above the wound and
twisted it to shut off the circula-
iion, then immersed the hand in
kerosene. After reaching Chick
asha the boy was taken to a mad
stone, which refused to adhere
and afterwards treated by physi
clan. The boy is recovering, and
will probably not be any worse foI
his experience.
