The Judge has, however, neglected
to place natural allies in positions
of power, where they might now be
able to do him some good, and if
his claims 60 unrecognized, it will
be due largely to that fact. He
would make an admirable senator.
The elevation of Judge Standrod
to the position of National Com
mltteeman, which gave him control
of the federal patronage, has
brought his name forward as a
senatorial candidate, No words of
his has, however, indicated such
mbition, but no one would question
dis qualifications should he con-
clude to cope for the distinguished
honor. He is well-poised man,
cultured, able, and with the prestige
of success in law, finance anc
politics.
The Republicans, as will be seen,
are not lacking in strong senatorial
timber, and what the candidates
want to do is to pull all together to
elect Legislature and do their
scrapping after the legislature is
elected.

are becoming quite active and much
maneoverlng is now going on
among the candidates. The great
est activity is displayed among the
Fuslonists probably due to the fact
that the situation with them is the
more complicated, owing to the
many elements of which Fusion is
composed, offering greater oppor-
tunity for political wire pulling.
Senator Heitfeld was the first to
lead off in the contest His attempt
to lead the Populists into the Dem
ocratic party was not entirely sue
cessful,. and what effect this will
have on his chances OF reelection
can not at this time be foretold.
1t is believed that the regular DEM
ocrats will not look with favor up
on any candidate except regular
Democrat However, Heitteld wall
not De without powerful backing.
1t is believed that it wac part of
the agreement by which the POpu-
lists swung into line for Dubois
two years ago, that Dubois was to
aid Heitfeld In his fight this year
and, with both Senators working
in harmony to that end, they will
undoubtedly cut quite IA swath.
1t has remained for Ex- Governor
SteunenLerg to get in the most sub
stantial work, however. A fusion
of Democrats and Populists has
already been arranged down IN
Blaine County, ana by its terms
the three candidates for the legisla
ture are to be pledged to the ex-
governor. 1t is said that Steunen-
berg is again coming into favor.
By many 1T is believed that he is
the most astute politician in the
Democratic party, a natural leader,
and just the kind of a man needed
to pull the party together.
Governor Hunt is looking for
ward To a denomination and If re-
elected 1t is believed he would not
be averse to using his position as
stepping stone to the Senate.
James ID. Hawley, the Boise at
torney, and Justice Quarles have
each announced their candidacy.
Hawley is one of the most popular
Democrats In the state and is sure
to be prominent factor III the
fight, and will meet with less bitter
opposition than any of his rivals.
On the Republican side there is
less personal activity. More atten-
ton is being given to plans to elect
a Republican Legislature, than to
selecting a candidate. The retire
ment of Ex-senator Shoup as ma
tional committeeman was supposed
to mean his retirement from active
politics, although no announcement
10 that effect came from the former
senator himself Later movements
would indicate that Mr.. Shoup had
no idea of retiring, but that his res
ignation was merely tor the pur-
pose of taking well-earned rest,
preparatory to the campaign of
This year.
There are three other prominent
candidates for the place, Borah,
Hey burn and Standrod. MIR. Borah
has a winning personality and
All irrisistible'style Of oratory that
has won him fame throughout the
state, although little more than of
senatorial age. If he steers clear of
factional breakers, he may win the
prize He has splendid qualidca-

Samuel Mettler, the old man who
drove all the way from Western Ohio
to this city, distance of nearly 700
miles, an account of whose experiences
was printed in these columns July lst,
was seen in this city again a few days
ago.
1t will be recalled that he came East
to visit his relatives and that upon
his arrival here there were none among
the several families that bear his name
who seemed to be of his kin he was
much disheartened and thought that
he would have to return home with
out accomplishing the object of his
long and toilsome journey. He stated,
Thursday, that he found several per-
sons who are relatives, among them
Mrs. Enoch Cook of this city, first
cousin. The time since his arrival
has been spent mostly in Rush town
ship, Sunbury and Catawissa.
Altogether, he says, the trip, which
at first promised so badly, has turned
out we'll enough. He is delighted
with Danville, which he regards as
one of the best towns of this section.
While his horse drank at the public
fountain he made some further inquir-
les about the town and stated that it
would not require much coaxing to in
duce him to remain here. He has not
as yet laid any plans for his return
home.

SIX INNINGS
AT WATSONTOWN

The "Old Timers" have had the
misfortune to lose several games 10y
just one run and this same fate befell
them on Saturday afternoon at Watson
town. Only six innings were played
and the score stood to / in favor of
WatsontOwn. From what is said by
the Danvillc people, not only those
who participated in the game, but al
so by those who Witnessed it, there is
no doubt that the umpire gave Watson
town the best of the decisions and that
the "Old Timers lost several runs by
his partiality.
There was but one ball sent III the
outtield, being hit by zimmerman to
Donovan, who failed to get it, The
game began at 80 O'Clock, but Bell
had his right leg injured by a collision
with Sheep at the home plate, where
both were after the ball to nut 4 man
out. This accident delayed the game
a half hour and it was called at the
end of the sixth inning so that the
Danvillc contingent could catch a
train for home. The following is the
score in detail:

COMMITTEE MUCH

One-third of the sum-ten thousand
dolIars-rcquired for the soldiers
monument has already been practical
ly secured. Committees appointed to
solicit subscriptions are working in the
borough as follows
First Ward-Dr F. G. Newbal,er, r.

Second Samuel Mills and

Third and Fourth Wards-James
Foster, b. r. Gcarhart, j. G. Miller
and w. H. Mcclure.
But very little soliciting has as yet
been done i'll the First and Second
Wards. These two wards constitute
field from which big results are eX-
pccted and by the time they are cover
ed the subscriptions will no doubt ag
gregate handsome figure insuring the
success of the undertaking.
Considerable help is anticipated
from the rural communities which are
in no degree deficient in public spirit
and patriotism, rs was attested by
the large number of young men who
enlisted from the farms during the
Civil War. Just what method will
be employed to reach the country peO-
pie has not yet been decided upon. In
each community there are not a few

in the initial effort in town than to
receive some early assurance of assist

A Demand for Skilled Workmen.

In contrast to the depression of bust
ness in the anthracite coal regions,
due to the stike, is the activity of the
manufacturing towns. Danville not
only shares III this progress and pros
perity, but is considered one of the
best towns in the state There is no
idleness here and no reason why IA
man cannot get work. This city has
never been more prosperous nor never
more progressive. The name of Dan
Vile is synonymous with industrial
advancement. There is a demand for
skilled workmen that exceeds the local
supply. This is evidenced by the fact
that the firm of James Mallen d. Com
pany, operating the Danville rolling
mill, is advertising in other towns for
puddlers and helpers.
Every industry has plenty of work
ahead to insure continuance of these
gratifying conditions for many months
This all means more than is apparent
from the mere statement of busy mi lis
and humming factories. 1t means an
increase in building operations, de-
velopment of the town and additions
to the population by bringing in more
people 1t also means growth of busi
ness all of which tends to make better
and stronger this thriving city of the
North Branch.

The law abiding character of our
population and the limited amount OF
work for the police court, which may
in measure pass unnoticcd by our
own citizens is one of the first things
which impresses strangers soJOurnlng
in our city This is all the more
noticed because our town Is prosper
Gus, all classes being employed and
well paid. There are few who can
not afford to indulge in luxury of
some sort. If our people were inclined
toward intemperance with all that Is
implied by that excess in the way of
crime and disorder conditions at pres
ent are certainly favorable for bring
ing out the fact.
Nevertheless arrests for any thing
more than one of the minor Otfenses
are few and far between. The Unlucky

Saturday nights, time when noise

where there was no semblance of dis
order and long before midnight our
streets were practically deserted. Very
nearly the same might be said of the
Saturday night previous, which was
pay day.
In passing, word of praiZe Is due
to those who conduct licensed houses.
1t is said of them that they are careful
to observe the law and thus contribute
to the general good order of the town

High Water Halts Goal Industry.

The river is being watched very anX-
iOusly by those of our townsmCn who
are in the habit of gathering coal out
of the channel. With such facilities
a. are found here the coal can be tax
en- from the river only at the lowest
stage of the water The river has
been too high for the work during
nearly the whole of July.
No one is more anxious about the
matter than Frank Ross, who has built
a large boat at considerable expense,
which will hold ton of coal. The
river, which was up to the ten foot
mark last week, began falling Satur-
day Yesterday it began to rise again
and altogether the prospects are not
fair for low water very soon.
1t would be too bad if the water
should remain high until winter, max
ing il impossible to take coal from the
river at time when it is so much
needed to supply the general defici-
enCy.

Bow Drowned at Rupert.

Morris Gross of Bloomsbury, aged
twelve years, was drowned in the riv-
or at Rupert Monday afternoon. In
company with several other boys he
went from Bloomsbury for the pur
pose of going in bathing. The place
they chose was at the mouth of Fish
ing Creek As both the creek and riv-
er are high there was considerable
current which took the boys out furth-
er than was safe.
Gross became exhausted and the boys
nearest him went TO his aid. He pull
ed one boy down three times, and
then the little fellow managed to re-
lease himself and had to swim away
to save his own life. Charles Cora,
also twelve years old, was in mid
stream when he, too, became exhaust
ed. By hard struggling hc got to the
shore, but was so worn out that he
fell down and it took some time to re-
vive him The body of Gross had not
been recovered last night.

ANCIENT BOOT
IS TAKEN down

The ancient boot is gone. For thirty
five years it stood in front of Woods
shoe store, on Mill street, and was con-
sidcred fixture 1t was staunChly
bolted to a stout square post and in
its early days was an innovation that
attracted much comment. But it has
gone the way of all things old, yet
there is bit of pathos in its removal.
The old residents who come back for
a sight of their native hills and re-
newal of old friendships will look
for it in vain.
Thirty-five years is a long time.
Many thousands have passed under the
old boot. The mill man hurrying to
his work, the shopper and the market
throng, the business man, the hopeful
youth with hurrying steps, the aged,
the happy and the sad, all have walk
ed beneath the awning of the boot.
The Woods shoe store is one of the
oldest in the state and has stood for
sixty two years on the same site, being
established in 1910 by Thomas Woods,
who was succeeded at his death by his
son, Charles, the present proprietor.
The improvement of the property
necessitated the taking down of the
boot and its square post, the latter be
ing replaced by a modern post of steel.
The awning will be raised and the en-
tire building will be re-painted New
window frames are being put i'll with
hoods attached. When all the work
is completed the building will look
quite fine.

Some Surprises for the Farmer.

Thel severe drought of last spring
and the deluge of rain which followed
has treated the farmer to n few sur
prj"cs and nearly revolutionized the
ord, ! of farm work.
The hay crop in June was pIOnounC-
ed failure. Glover there was none
and timothy, even after the rain set in,
it was thought might he half crop.
As a matter of fact little or no hay
was made. Thus far during July the
farmer has had his hands full in try
ing to get his wheat away, in cultivat-
ing his corn, etc The time for hay
making is past, but the grass is still
growing vigorously; clover even is
springing up among the timothy and
altogether the prospects are fair for a
good hay crop. Farmers generally
have never known what ii is to have
haymaking and oats harvest on their
hands at the same time, but that will
be the order of things this year. All
that is needed, however, Is a let up in
the rains and the years proceeds on
the farm will average up all right after
all
