of the season, deeper than the first,
and altogether one which served to
show what obstacles to travel may be
expected to occur on the country roads

He reached town at :l5 p. N. about
| an hour late He drove two horses,
both of which seemed pretty we'll jad-
ed. Mr.. Stettler, the carrier, stated
that the roads are soft which together
with the deep snow makes travel about
as difficult as could be imagined. To
add to the difficulty he found all the
roads in the more hilly section, espec-
iallv in the vicinity of Hendrickson
church, badly drifted At places he
was obliged to plough through deep
snow banks. which piled tho loose
snow up as high as the dash board of
the mail wagob.
Mr.. Stettler thinks he could hardly
have gotten through at all, had 1t not
been for the assistance rendered by the
farmers. He was especially indebted
to J. f. Hendrickson, who turned out
with his large farm sled and for about
a mile and a half drove along before the
mail wagon breaking the road.
Carrier No 4, John Mcclure, was
the next to arrive. His route lies up
Bloom road and across the hills to
Kaseyille. He found the roads at sew
eral places we'll nigh impossible, but
states that he received no assistance
from the farmers.
Carrier No. 3, whose route takes III
Kaseville and Swenoda, did not reach
town until after 4 O'Clock. His eX-
perience differed but little from that
of the other carriers.

the election.
Although the weather conditions
Tuesday were not of kind to bring
people out of doors in considerable
numbers, yet the vote polled in the
borough was above the average for a
Spring election. Voting proceeded
steadily pretty much all day.
The activity of several of the can
didateS was instrumental in bringing
out a good vote. The day, however,
was very disagreeable and the workers
at the polls had a cold and uncomfort-
able task before them.
There was but little rivalry man
ifested among the candidates, with
possibly the exception of those for
Tax Receiver and for Council in the
second and Third Wards. Good feel
ing and harmony seemed to prevail
during the day.

BESSEMER
BLAST FURNACE

There seems to be no doubt but that
the blast furnace owned by the Dan
Vile Bessemer Company at this place
will start up in the near future. An
article stating that the furnace would
be put into blast during the present
winter which was based on an inter
view with General Manager James l..
Barber, was printed in these columns
couple of months ago. Mr.. Barber
stated yesterday that the reason why
the furnace has not been started was
owing to the effect of the miners
strike.
While in Philadelphia last week Mr..
Barber had talk with the lessees who
informed him that under the strin-
gency existing up to the present the
Reading Company did not feel war
ranted in taking their contract for
coal. Anyone who knows what it
means to bank blast furnace will un-
derstand the risk of pecuniary loss
that would be assumed by blowing
in, " blast furnace without au assur-
ance of an abundant and steady supply
of coal
The situation as it relates to coal
mining is now considered nearly nor
nal and Mr. Barber stated that one of
the firm along with the manager may
be expected to arrive in Danville at
any day for the purpose of putting
things in readiness for starting mp.
The lessees informed Mr. Barber
that they have contracted for the sale
of all the pig iron that they will be
able to manufacture during the year.

"a Danghter's Devotion. "

The part of Lena Snyder which
Miss Stirling Will portray III e" A
Daughters Devotion" is that of the
daughter of a staid and hard-headed
old Pennsylvania Dutchman, who for
wears has been struggling with Ma
ture in an effort to wiring from a
rocky farm a living for his family.
On all sides are the oil fields from
which rise the skeleton like derrlckS
which pump the crude petroleum to
the surface and turn it into millions
of money. In the midst Of all this
wealth the old man fights the battle of
life and his daughter loses none OF her
daiutiness: she loves the old man with
an intense devotion. One fine day the
farm becomes treasure spot and the
old Dutchman finds himself among the
multi -millionaires. From the smell OF
the oil fields he goes to fashionable
home in New York and here Lena 5
love story develops, and a mighty
sweet and pretty one it is too, which.
after many complications comes to a
happy ending Not tie least inter
esting feature of the character is the
homely philosophy Of Lena's dialect
speeches, and easily the most interest
ing and artistic bit of work i'll the
whole piece is her marvellous dancing
in the wooden shoes of the Father
land.
