1anet and Suns May Pick Up Minor
Solar Bodies.
Jupiter is much the biggest member
of the family of stars which revolve
around our sun; consequently the pow
possessed. for instance, by the earth.
Jupiter's exploits as a burglar have
caused very considerable annoyance
and Inconvenience to astronomers in
the days before his powers were fully
recognized.
In 1910 there appeared a fine comet,
which was found to have an elliptical
orbit round the sun Of so comparatively
small a size that Mr.. Lexell, its discov-
erer, calculated it would return in FIVE
and a half years, but in 1875 telescopes
were vainly focused on the spot where
It was expected to reappear, and again
in 1871 it disappointed all observers.
Mr.. Lexell plunged into fresh calcula-
tons and after much research found
that Jupiter vas the culprit. The IN
fortunate comet had been rash enough
to plunge into the sphere of the giant
planets attraction, with the result that

its former orbit and flung off into quite
a different one of a twenty year period.
1t has never been seen again by my
one on this earth and probably never
will be.
Jupiter was also responsible for the
delay which occurred in the return OF
that splendid visitant known as Hal
ley's comet. HALEY found that he was
no the first discoverer of this big COM
ct. 1t had appeared ct least twice pre-
viously. once seEenty-1ve years before
and again seventy-six years before that.
The astronomer concluded that there
would be a further delay In its third
return and predicted that it's next ap-
pearance would be 51S days later. He
did not live to see 1t. But in 1853. the
year he had prophesied for it's reap
pearance, astronomers were waiting
for it.

incident may have mistaken

may have taken the ham he was

At any rate there is no mixing
of races here.
There is, too, a future town OF
Blackdom which is being extern
sively advertised and the pro-
posal is to build 1T somewhere i'll
the Pecos Valley. If built all the
inhabitants of this proposed
town will have to be imported
as at present there are not
enough negroes in the Valley
even to make a start. The town
at present merely exists on pa
per. The pamphlet says that

A SCARE AT DANVILLE.

Danville had scare on Monday,
occasioned by the arrival there of
the Bennett-Moulton Theatrical
Company. one of the number of
which was claimed to be affected
with smallpox. The fact was
learned after the train left sha-
mokin, when the conductor observ-
ing the strange and unusual ap-
pearance of the mans face, asked
him the cause OF it and he answered
smallpox. He ascertained til e
company's destination and immedi-
ately sent word ahead to Danville
to be on the lookout. The Board OF
Health took prompt action, and sent
officers to tie station to forbid the
company to leave the car. 1t
was finally decided to quarantine
the victim, and ne was accordingly
put in a car with a nurse. and run
in upon a siding at Dougal, short
distance below Milton. The other
members of the company are at
West Milton, but will disband and
return to their homes as soon as
they receive their pay.
Later in the day on Monday, il
was learned that every member or
the company had been vaccinated,
after taking an antiseptic bath;
every bit of their clothing and bag
gage had been thoroughly fumigat-
ed before their arrival at Danville,
and under the circumstances it
believed that all danger of contagion
so far as the other members. of the
company were concerned had been
removed The company was book
ed for Danville all this week.

A PkETTY WINDOW.

Since the enlargement of Pursel's s
store front ample opportunity has
been given for decorating the win
dows. They are always attractive,
but just now Mr.. John Knies has
surpassed himself in arranging the
lower window. Great taste has
been displayed, and the result is
exceedingly attractive. 1t is trim
med in white silk, and contains a
great variety of holiday goods. 1t
is attracting much attention. Mr..
Knies took course of lessons in
decorating, in New York last fall,
and this in conjunction with
natural talent for that kind of work,
has made him an expert at the
business.

furnished a home The deaf the
dumb, the blind, the insane, the
idiotic, the criminal, and we are all
proud of these institutions; there is
uplift about it, there is an outward
swing about it that thrills us all
when we think of it.
l confidently believe that we are
on the eve oil an enterprise that will
be of still greater blessing in a
financial sense than either of those
which the State is now so magnih-
Gently supporting, i mean the era
of good roads The Spoul bill is
aimed in the right direction. 1t
will dout tless need amen 1ments
now and then, but we must stand
by it, in the main, and as farmers,
l would advise you to insist upon
its amendment at the present time
only in respect to that feature of it
which I have already referred to.
1t is bound to win, and no one is
more interested than the farmer,
although everybody will be blessed
and benefited, and ten years from
now, or twenty-five years from now,
we will ali wonder that we have so
long continued to wade through
the dust and mire of Our country
roads.
Two thousand years ago the
people of the provinces Of the Ro-
man Empire were in about the con
dition that Our rural districts are
now, and they made no headway in
any change until they raised the
cry that all roads lead to Rome;
then they built roads which for a
thousand years were the admiration
of the world.
So it would be with you; if you
can get the State and the counties
to assume the building of the roads,
and you agree to keep them in re,
pair under the direction of county
superintendent Of highways, who
should be an engineer and a man
of character, you will find that the
blessing which will come upon you
will be inestimable.
The act of 1908 appropriates six
millions and a half of dollars for
this purpose, to be expended in the
next six years. That, supplement.
ed by the county fund of one hall
more, would make in that time ten
millions of dollars, and that would
build 1900 miles of first class
macadam roads. and nearly all OF
that money will be poured into the
rural districts, which will increase
your wealth beyond the dreams OF
avarice. Go on with this enter
prise, and take the magnificent sum
which is rendered to you by the
State authorities, and the result
must be entirely satisfactory.

DRIFT OF POLITICS IN PENN'A.
State Chairman Penrose Communicative
with His Lieutenants. s.-The Democrats
will Meet in April.

The Republican county leaders o.
Pennsylvania are being notified by
State Chairman Penrose that the
Republican state convention will be
held in Harrisburg not later than
'he third Wednesday of April next,
SO as to have it out of the way be-
fore the national convention, which
is likely to be held the middle of
June. The Democratic state COM
mittee will also meet in Harrisburg
on the third Wednesday of April to
FIX the date of the state convention
and elect chairman to succeed
Senator James K. P. Hall, of Ridg-
way, who is again a candidate.
The only nominations to be made
by the conventions next year will
be for a justice of the Supreme
Court to fill the place made vacant
by the deaoh of Chief Justice Nc
Collum, which is being temporarily
filled by Samuel Gustine Thompson
of Philadelphia, Democrat, by ap-
pointment of the governor. The
only other business of the CONVEX
ton beside adopting the usual plat
forms will be to elect delegates-at-
large to the national convention

delegates chosen by the delegations

to pay from one thousand to fifteen
hundred dollars a mile for any
number of miles, located i'll the
farming districts, and l repeat they
onght not to be required to if they
could. Under this provision those
townships which need State and
county aid first will get it last or
not at all.
Another reason why townships
should be exempt from paying any
portion of the cost of improved
roads is the inequitable and unjust
distribution of the public taxes.
Corporate wealth pays five pills on
the dollar TO the State; wealth
leaned out on interest in the vari-
Gus forms pays four mills on the
dollar to the State, and no more -
thus, they bear none of the local
burdens. Farm lands pay no State
tax, it is true, but they bear their
full share OF all local taxes, which,
in this county, and presumably
il every other county, are at least
three times as much as the taxes on
these other forms of wealth. l re-
Gently received a card from the tax
collector OF township where l pur-
| chased a farm for four thousand
dollarj. He informed me that my
taxes were S4S so for this year
Now, if l had loaned that money
on mortgage, my tax would have
been just $40, aad no more, and if
| had borrowed the money to pay
for the farm, or stock it, my tax
would have been $3.50 plus SIG,
or $64. so.
Now, l shall not follow up the
question of the unjust levying and
collection of taxes any further.
That was pursued to its fullest ex
tent by Mr.. John Wanamaker some
years ago III campaign document.
The next proposition l make is
this, that greater inequalities come
from the distribution of taxes than
from the collection of them. That
is, all the taxes gathered into the
State and county funds are distri-
buted in the cities among the tax
eaters there, and. except a small
pro rata share of the school tax paid
from the State into the various dis
trictS, | cannot now call to mind
any expenditure of public moneys
in the farming district, the trend
is all the other way.
Prior to 1890 the farmers them
selves with AK and grubbing hoe
hewed out their highways. About
1880 the State expended large
sum of money in building canals,
which was great blessing to all
the people. Those canals have been
| Abandoned because they have been
superseded as lines of traffic by the
railroads.
The next great public improve.
ment undertaken by the State was
the establishment of a common
school system in 1854. The people
halted, baked, and some of them
swore against it, but it has pro-
gressed until now it is universally
approved as the greatest institution
of the land.
Since the Inauguration of that
magnificent enterprise the State has
undertaken at its own expense to
provide grand system of charities,
until now every helpless person is

GOOD ROADS.
State Grange Conve rtion.-Addiess by Hon
o. /. Rhone, wilkes Barre, Pa. Dec.
ember 8, 1908.

This is not the time or place for
extended remarks upon any sub
iect, but for your information l will
say that perhaps the most import
ant matter for your consideration is
that of good roads. Tons and car
loads of literature have been written
on the necessity and desirability of
good roads, demonstrating that you
can't build a good macadam road
with clay and sand any more than
YOU can make silk purse out of a
ow's ear. The only question now
emaining is, who shall pay for
,hem. In 1894 l delivered all ad-
lress upon the subject in this city
10 convention of county commits
sioners, who adopted my idea, and
it was afterwards approved by the
State Bicycle Association, and by
the State Grangers, and that cul-
minated in the act of 1895, under
which our county has built and
paid for many miles of roads in this
county, and we have now a short
section about completed at the ex-
pense of the county, known here as
the Dallas road, and no doubt you
will be pleased to go and see it. We
think it fair specimen Of the roads
which are to be built under the act
of 1903, popularity known as the
Sproul bill
The dominant thought in the act
of 1895, and one that has domi-
mated my mind ever since is this,
that the thoroughfares OF highways
contemplated by the act of 1903
are not township roads at all, there
fore, the townships ought not to
be required to contribute any thing
towards the cost of them. The high
ways or thoroughfares contemplated
by the Sproul bill are those which
will be found in the laps and folds
of the mountains behind which lie
many townships on the borders of
adjacent counties, or they will be
found to be the leading lines ofroad
through the rich, fat, river bottom
lands, and the rich and populous
mining and manufacturing districts,
or in townships where there are
found suburban residences. What I
conceive to be township roads are
the cross roads of the township, the
byways of the townships, and those
lines which lead To and from the
farmers houses to the farm villages.
Those the townships always have
and must continue to improve and
keep in repair at their own expense.
But, l repeat, that highways, lead
ing thoroughfares and main lines
running through the laps and folds
OF the mountain to the various rail-
road stations and those running
along the centres of the river val
leys, are not township roads, they
are first county roads, and when
placed together become State roads.
This / consider to be rock bottom
precedent to any progress in the
making of good roads. This feature
rs absent from the Sproul bill. tt
requires the townships to pay one
sixth of the cost of any section of
road. Now. the cost of a road
properly built is from six to ten
thousand dollars mile, so that at
Least cost, say of six thousand dol
lars,-the State would pay four
thousand dollars. the county one
thousand, and the township one
thousand, No township outside of
the rich suburban villages can afford
