LEROY TRICE, general manager
of the l. & c.. n. road has received
that most contemplate of all things,
an anonymous letter. warning him
to dismiss the master mechanic, or
suffer the most dire consequences,
either to himself, or his family.
The towards addressed the envel-
ope to Mrs. Trice, in order, it is
supposed, to worry her as much as
possible. The international has
offered a reward for the arrest and
and conviction of the perpetrators.
An anonymous letter writer should
be classed with anarchists and
punished accordingly.

BROWNSVILLE has harvested the

Brownsville placed the first bale OF
cotton on the market. Browns

things, maybe even first in war,

THE latest addition to Texas
journalism is The Lantern, six
teen page monthly publication es-
tablished at Dallas by E. G. SEN
tor, editor of the Fl. Worth Gazette
in its palmy days, who has been
practicing law at Dallas since 1896.
Readers of the old Gazette will
easily recognize a familiar ring in
the new publication. It represents,
of course, the Bryan view of dem
ccracy, and touches up in pun
gent style the St. Louis conven-
ton, while supporting the Parker
Davis ticket. The Lantern an
nounces that its mission will be to
print the truth and the whole truth
about matters of public interest to
Texans. without fear, favor or
partisanship. and it starts off as if
it meant it.

GUNS FOR THE ENEMY
ONLY.

Senator Culberson makes plea
for harmony in the party which ap-
pears to have been inspired by crit
icisms in the East of the action OF
Mr.. Bryan and his friends. Mr..
Culberson says our fight should
be against our known enemies, not
against those who have espoused
the cause of our candidates. -
If the Democrats hope to win in
the coming November elections
they must heed this sort of advice.
The testimony of more or less un-
biased observers, as well as OF
Democratic leaders. is that the
prospects for success of the Parker
and Davis ticket are very bright,
that already the defeat of Roose-
welt is practically assured if the
Democrats present a united and
determined front.
What Mr.. Bryan did at St. Louis
or what anybody else, did there or
elsewhere before the convention an
nounced its decision is matter OF
no consequence now in the present
political equation. There were
delegates in the convention who
preferred some other man than
Judge Parker as the Presidential
nominee and who did all in their
power to advance the interests OF
a favorite candidate. That was
perfectly legitimate and proper. If
the anti Parker delegates had sue
ceeded in nominating some one
else who appeared to them to offer
a better prospect of leading the
party to victory it may be assured
that the friends and admirers Of
the New Yorker would have sup
ported the choice of the convention
with as much loyalty and zeal 2
they now expect for their own
choice.
1t was not to be expected that a
campaign conducted with so much
heat before the nomination should
run along at once as if there lad
been perfect unan;nity all along;

Democrats had got in such a habit
of abusing each other that it must
require little time to cement the
new friendships and companion
ships after the friction has worn
off. They are doing splendidly for
the most part and the surprise is
not that there should be some bick-
ering still, but that there should
be so little of it. But there is no
reason whatever why there should
be any throwing of stones within
the camp. Mr.. Parker will need
the support of all Democrats and of
some Independents and dissatisfied
Republicans to make his election
doubly sure. There should not
now be any Bryan men or anti
Bryan men, but only Parker men
in the party, if the Democrats are
really determined to win.
1t will be pretty clearly indicated
by the conduct of the Democrats
within few weeks whether there
will be change of administration
at Washington on the fourth of
March next.-Express.

Little Peach" Dissass.
Experienced peach growers who ave
watched the disease known as little
peach for a long time agree with the
scientists thai the only way to stamp out
the trouble Is to pull out the tree. 1t has
been thoroughly demonstrated that the
disease Is contagious and that q single
tree affected will soon spread the disease
to an entire orchard and to adjacent
orchards. TIN one difficulty in the way
of permanently stamping out the disease
il the reluctance with which growers pull
up the tree. As a rule they wait until the
tree cease to hear fruit of any value
before pulling out the tree when n they
would do the work as soon as the disease
was noticed there would be little danger
to the trees. Peach growers in every sec
tlon should combine to eradicate this dis
ease by agreeing with zach other to de-
stroy the trees an soon a. the trouble was

Oldest House Being Torn Down.

The oldest house on East Market
street is being torn down to make way
for Il new dwelling. This is the dill
apidated old landmark on the north
side of the street between Shopper
sons coal yard aud Edmondson s
blacksmith shop aud until quite re-
Gently occupied by tenants.
The house for many years was own
ed by Michael Rishel, who conducted
the blacksmith business in the shop
adjoining. All agree that it is the old
est house remaining in that part of
town and was probably the first house
erected OH East Market street. No one
has any idea when it was built; old
men of seventy five or eighty say that
in their boyhood the house was stand
ing there pretty much rs at the pres
ent day.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be that the house is nearly if not quite
hundred years old. Its extreme age
is betrayed by its odd construction,
every feautre of which is primitive in
the extreme suggesting the days when
log cabins were the rule. When the
weather boards were torn of yesterday
morning it was discovered that the
walls in one portion were filled in
with mud, while in another portion
bricks laid in mud were used The
timbers throughout were badly decay
ed.
The old house along with the black
smith shop adjoining is owned by
George D. Edmondson, who proposes
to clear off the entire site and build
three dwelling houses on the spot The
dwellings will be of frame, of COM
modious proportions, two and half
stories high, and of pleasing architec-
tural design.
Casper Diseroad will put up the
dwellings.

TWO INTERESTING
DISCOURSES

Tozaburo Kudo, M. A., PHI. D., a
young japanese of rare attainments,
delivered two addresses in this city
Sunday and made "a deep impression
on our people. In the forenoon he ad-
dressed large congregation in the
United Evangelical church in the at
ternoon he spoke in Y. M. @. A. Hall
to audience of ladies and gentlemen.
The speaker is graduate of Yale
College and is thorough master of all
the intricacius of the English language.
His diction is faultless, his language
throughout b1ing characterized by
q dirnctness and simplicity that is
charming. Only in pronunciation is
his nationality betrayed He is a
young man short of stature aud slight
ly built. full of enthusiasm and pure
type of the japanese.
Mr.. Kudo yesterday III Il general way
dwelt upon the needs of his country
which relate to the changed conditions
in that land. The old system, he said,
is doomed it is rapidly passing away.
Japan, therefore, becomes a field for
Christian workers. The people will
readily accept the Christian religion,
which is indissolubly linked with the
splendid achievements of Western civil
liza on.
Whatever might be said of the old
regime the people of Japan have at
tanned remarkable degree of mental
culture and are able to discriminate
very nicely in matters Of religion as
we'll as of politics In supplying The
place of the old religion. therefore, he
said, it is essential that great care be
exercised that nothing be done to Of
fend the public taste and that nothin &
false or unworthy Of Christ's teach
ings be introduced in Che name of the
Christian religion.
To illustrate the respect for the
United States and tine attitude of the
country toward the Christian religion,
tho fact was stated that Admiral
Uriu, who attacked the Russian fleet
at Chumulpo during the present war,
sinking two Russian cruisers, is a
graduate of Annapolis and is Christ
ian. While at Annapolis he was Presi-
dent of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Admiral Uriu's wife is
also Christian aud is graduate of
Vassar College.
Mr.. Kudo in short time will re-
turn to Japan and enter upon mis- :
siouary work

TWO PROPOSALS
ARE RECEIVED

The advertisement for proposals for
construction of road in Mahoning
township, this county, under the Act
approved April 10, 1903. brought for th
two bids, which were opened at the
State Highway Department at Harris
burg on June 18th and forwarded to
the office of the County Commissioners
at Danville.
The proposals received are both
from out of town concerns, the low
est agreeing to build the road for
something over six thousand dollars
The other bid is some two thousand
dollars higher.
| 1t now rests with the county. AS
suming that the lowest bid of over six
thousand dollars be accepted, accord.
/ ing to the provisions of the Act, the
State-which liquidates two-thirds of
the cost-would pay four thousand
dollars, which would leave a balance
of approximately two thousand dollars
to be divided equally between Mon
tour county and the township of Nah
oning.
While the county might be able to
bear its share of the cost-one thous-
/ and dollars-with ease in the case OF
the township 1T might prove altogeth-
TT different and constitute very
Levy burden. Just how the matter
will be regarded by the County Com
mssiopers will develop later. The
contract will be awarded or the mat
ger will be disposed of in some form
at the next meeting of the Board on
Saturday.

Mail Wagon in Runaway,

Jesse Started, carrier on rural free
delivery route No. Z, met with run
away yesterday as the result of which
his horse was badly cut, his mail wag-
on broken and he was obliged to walk
some three miles.
About the hour of noon when on the
Shamokin road at the farthest point
from Danville, Mr.. Started as is his
Gus tom, stopped to feed his horse and
in order that the animal might eat
without any hindrance he removed
the bride. He was just in the act of
replacing the bride when the horse
gave a spring and escaping dashed over
steep embankment and galloped out
over the country roads at a rate which
soon left the mail carrier far in the
rear.
at Logan Run the frantic horse
plunged into stone pile on the Martz
farm. He sustained bad fall and was
cut in nearly every part of his body
by the sharp stones, although not SER
lously injured. Inc wagon mere 1ell
over upside down and was pretty bad
ly damaged about the top, although
the running gear remained intact.
The horse here was easily caught and
kept under control until Mr.. Started
arrived. The mail matter was found
all right, the only thing lost ont of the
wagon being the cushion, which the
owner recovered while following up
the horse.
Mr.. Sartzel was able to complete his
delivery of mail, although he was de-
layed and did not reach Danville until
about 3 80 O'Clock. He thinks the
horse was stung by an insect, which
caused him to indulge in his foolish
Gamer.

The remains of the late Lieutenant
Bower, who was killed by lightning
at Fort Leavenworth, Kan, on Mon .
day, will be brought to Danville for
burial, although last evening the exact
date of their arrival was not known.
a telegram Monday evening was re-
ceived by the parents Of tine unfortun-
ate young officer, apprising them of
what had occurred and inquiring as
to the disposition of the body. A reply
was Immediately wired requesting
that the remains should be sent to

way East and it is thought that some
definite information will be received
today which will show when the re-
mains will arrive.
