WILL CARE FOR
SOLDIER DEAD

In pursuance of an act authorizing
and requiring the County COmmis-
sioners of each county in the State to
appoint "A sufficient number of suitable
| persons in each township aud ward of
their county at the expense of the
county. to look after, bury and provide
headstuno for the body of any honor
ably discharged soldier, sailor or
marine. who served in the army or
navy of the United States during the
war of the late rebellion or during any
preceding or succeeding war, leaving
insufficient means to detray the neces-
sary burial expenses, the Montour
County Commissioners have recently
appointed the following revised list Of
the Soldiers burial committee:
Anthony Township-Patrick Dennen.
Cooper Township-Henry Wertman,
Danville, Ist Ward-William He'd
dens
Danville, 2nd Ward-Daniel Fetter-
man.
Danville, 3rd Ward-John q. Thomp-
son.

West Hcmlock Township-C. L.
Shultz.
The County Commissioners have al
ready provided for the burial of near
lv fifty veterans. Throughout the
State this aid toward the burial eX-
penses Of needy soldiers has been of
great benefit.
Formerly the Commissioners were
allowed to pay toward the burial eX-
peuses s3j exclusive of the headstone,
but an amendment to the act made by
the Legislature of 1903 makes it pos
sible for the Commissioners to allow
$50 for the burial, exclusive of the
price of the headstone.

STAR COURSE
ENTERTAINMENTS

An attractive prospectus will bee Is
sued by the management of the Y. NJ
| G. a. Star Course in a few days Civ
! ing a full description of the five cx-
ccllent attractions which have been
booked to appear here next season.
The Y. NJ. G. \. course has imTrov-
ed from year to year and considering
the low price Of tickets, no city can
boast OF better attractions. 10 has been
customary heretofore to have the big
number open the course. This policy
has been changed this year, the most
expensive attraction being the third
number on the list, and is booked to ap-
pear here on Friday evening, Jan. 29th.
For this night the Boston Ladies'
Symphony Orchestra has been secured.
The organization numbers 20 members
and is conducted by Prof. Frank Nc
Kee, we'll known leader. Anumber
of good soloiSts will be heard in this
concert and the program rendered will
include both classical and popular
selections
1t should not be inferred, however.
that the opening attraction will be
anything but the best. "Roney' $
Boys" have been secured for the in
itial number appearing here Friday
evening, November 27th. These boys
have a national reputation and make
good everywhere. Their program is
made mp of both vocal and instrument
al music.
The second entertainment Of the
course is booked for December llth,
and will be given by Spillman Riggs,
the well-knOwn humorous lecturer and
musical impcrsonator. His entertain
mcnt has fascination that charms
and will be pleasant diversion to the
ordinary lecture.
On February 26th, Thomas McClary,
another noted lecturer will entertain
the course patrons. He is highly re-
commended and is said TO have the
humOr of an Artemus Ward combined
with the rare oratory and learning of
q Wendell Phillips.
The fifth and last number of the
course will be given on March Ilth,
by the Wesleyan Male Quartette, as
sisted by Miss Juanita Boynton, a
reader and accompanist. The amuse-
ment going public of Danyillc know
this attraction so well that further
comment is unnecessary. This num-
Der alone will be worth the price Of q
course ticket.
The Committee is to be congratulate
ed on its choice Of entertainments
Every number will give satisfaction.

Meehan, Fish Commissioner at Harris
burg, are being circulated among our

quest the Fish Department of the Com

The members of Co. f, 18th, Reg t.,
will receive their encampment pay at
the Armory this evening at 7:3O
o'clock Captain J. Beaver Gcarhart
will distribute $3.50 IS among his men.
The payment of this money so soon

great satisfaction to the soldiers as in
former years it usually took q week or
ten days to make up the pay roll. The
men will not be paid in full unless
the hats, duck uniforms, blue flannel
shirts and all Company equipment are
handed in. This is a compulsory mea.
sure.
The weekly drills will be discontinu.
ed during the heated term and will
not be resumed until so ordered by the
Captain. Both officers and men are
pleased with the general showing made
by the Company at Mt Grctna.

Summer Hotel at Lithia Springs.


II. b. Smith, of Sunbury, and w. g..
Mcconnell, of Shamokin, have pur-
chased the old Horton property known
as Johnson's mill, from Stannert &
Kline for the sum of $1,000. This farm
consists of over seventy acres, most of
which is woodland, and extends from
Johnson's Run on the Dsnville road
near Northumberland up the hollow,
where it joins the land of the Tucka-
hoe Mineral Spring Company.
The intention of these gentlemen is
to erect summer hotel near the
Springs. The creek will also be dam
med so rs to obtain power to run an
electric plant. An electric railway
will then be built from Northumber-
land to the Springs a distance of three
miles, thus making n summer resort Of
this lovely spot easy of access
The sale of the Lithia water is to be
widely advertised and the company
expect to have largely increased sales
from new and more progressive meth
ods. 1t has not been decided as yet as
to the size of the hotel to be erected,
As the first efforts will be made in re-
CARDS to tho construction of the dam
aud the building of the electric road.
The company is composed of George
II. Gibson and Harry Smith, of Sun
bury; Col. W G. Mcconnell, of Sha-
mokin, and Mr.. Brown, of Milton.
Lithia Springs is situated about
seven miles from this city. The
Springs are in wood and it is fine
location for summer hotel. The ven
ture will doubtless be a success i'll
every way.

Struck by Ball at Indian Festival

today through pair of colored glasses,
owing TO one of his eyes having the
same color as the goggles-as black as

an Interested spectator at the Indian
festival. He had seen about all that
was worth seeing, and had started for
the house with the intention Of going
to bed But his plans were suddenly
interfered with He reachd the "Onc
baby, one cigar ~ stand just in time
to stop a hard ball which someone had
thrown with great force at the row of
rag babies. The thrower missed the
target aimed at, but found another in
Al's eye. The latter was staggered by
the force of the blow and would have
fallen to the ground had he not sue
ceoded In throwing his arms around a
friendly post. The face surrounding
the eye was painfully bruised and
lacerated but the sight, il is thought
escaped injury -Williamsport News.
