MONTOUR'S DO.
MESTIC ANIMALS

Some very entertaining facts and
figures are CLEANED at the County Com
missioners' Office this year from the
tabular statement prepared for the
Secretary of Internal affairs.
In the first place it might interest
some persons to know that there are
2S32 horses In Montour County with
an assessed value Of $118, 907. Danville
has 2l4 horses valued at Sl1 ,745; Wash
ingtonville has 80 horses, valued at
", 2,015.
Montour County has 2.026 head Of
neat cattle with given value Of $40.-
968. According to the statement there
are only twelve cows in the Borough
Of Danville. distributed as follows
First ward head; Second Ward, 4
head Third Ward. one head. In the
Fourth Ward there are no COWS assess.
ed.
Washingtonville has seven COWS,
which seems very large number com.
pared with last year, when there was
only one COW assessed in that borough.
Some idea of valuation will be OBJ
tanned from the following figures. The
one COW in the Third Ward is valued
at gas. The two in the Fourth Ward
are valued at $95 and the seven head
in the First Ward at $97.
1t is the item Of dogs. however. that
affords the most food for reflection. Ac.
oording to the assessors returns there
are just 1.OO8 dogs in Montour Coun.
ty, distributed as follows: Anthony
township. 1871; Cooper, 40; Borough of
Danville 246; Derry. ll8 ; Liberty. 1866;
Limestone, "a; Mahoning township,
So; Mayberry. 81; Valley. 76; West
Hemlook, 45; Washingtonville, 30.
The 246 dogs in Danville are distrib-
uted through the wards as follows:
First Ward, 70; Second Ward, "a;
Third Ward, 40; Fourth Ward, 50.
In MahoninR township. where the
assessor this year found only SO dogs
last year there were 1876 dogs. In the
Fourth Ward of the Borough in which
last year only s5 dogs were assessed
this year the assessor returned SO.
The latter figures strike one very
oddly. Perhaps the corresponding de-
crease and increase can be accounted
for on the assumption that number
of CANNES in the township preferring
town life decided to emigrate and
crossed the line into the Borough.

Among the passengers that embark
ed on the :43 d. L. q W. train
last evening for trip to the West
were three young people of our town
who will be greatly missed by their
associates.
Among the number was Miss Helen
Irland, who left on an extended trip to
Kansas City, where she will be the
guest of her brother, Robert Irland.
The other two were Clarence f. Derr,
a clerk of the Danville National Bank
and Joy Brader,a member of the Office
force of the Stove Works, both of whom
will visit the Great Exposition at ST.
Louis, taking in Buffalo and Niagara
Falls during the trip.

Ooppersmiths Will Soon be Through.

The tower of st. Joseph's Catholic
Church when the sun shines takes on
quite a resplendent appearance under
its new coat of copper sheeting. In
process of time the copper will lose it's
lustre and the high dome will be a
less conspicuous object under the mid
day sun.
Only the dome and the cornice are
covered with copper; the tower below
those points vii. be protected with
shingles. The coppersmiths will soon
complete their work and the carpent-
ers have large portion of the tower
already shiuglcd.

Combination is Formed.

Although Senator B. z. Focht, OF
Lewisburg, still insists that he will
be Ienominated by the Republican
oonferees of the Union. Snyder North
cumberland district, his political ad.
herents In the district have given up
hope.
Focht's competitors. DR.. Peroival
Herman, of Middleburx, and ex.Rep.
resentative Fred A. Godcharles, of
Milton. have formed q combination
that it is doubtful If Fooht can break.
even II Senator Penrose and the othe r
state machine managers should come
out in the open for him.
Herman has agreed that his con.
feress shall vote for Godoharles when
the conference meets again. and in re-
turn Godoharles has promised to sup
port Herman for the nomination In
1908. II this agreement is carried out
it will not only prevent Fooht's re.
nomination now, but keep him out of
the senate for eight years.
Fooht's adversaries say he realizes
he is beaten, and that he will with.
draw in Godcharles' favor il he can
induce the state machine managers to
promise him the nomination for state
treasurer next year or auditor general
the following year.
Godoharles returned Friday from his
wedding trip, and it is expected a
meeting of the senatorial conferees
will be held within the next ten days.
Should Focht absent himself from the
conference nomination will be made
without him. He says. however, that
he will attend the conference and
abide by the result, which is constru
ed to mean that he knows he is beat.
