A Cass county, Missouri, man
named Pointer while digging bait
one day last week, unearthed an
iron kettle, He remembered that
il was said his grandfather had
buried several thousand dollars in
gold somewhere on the farm years
before and he grew very excited.
Turning the kettle upside down
he struck it with his spade and
the dirt in il came out, Imagine
his JOY to find in it two of the
biggest angle worms he had ever

The Danville & Bloomsbury Street
Railway company yesterday broke
ground for car barn at Groyania,
starting thirty men on the job. The
barn is to be erected close to the pow
er house, which is near the Philadel-
phia & Reading railroad tracks. The
new barn will be 100 feet by 40 feet in
size. 1t will be a substantial brick
structure. The building will be erect
ed and placed under roof as soon as
the work can be done and the crew
employed in its construction will be
enlarged whenever more men can be
placed at work.
At present the t,olley cars that are
not in use are standing on the siding
at the Paulei farm. They are exposed
to the weather and the effort will be
made to get shelter for them before
winter sets in.

Signed by Edwin O Madden, third

to postmasters reads as follows;
Under authority of an act of Con

"A supply of this pamphlet will bC
sent to each postmaster as soon a!

postmaster to apply for his initial sup
ply. Proper economy must be observ
ed in the distribution and all waste
must be avoided. AS nearly as practic
able, one copy to each family and eaci

PART OF FIRST
ROAD OF RAILS

Not many pc sons know that light
in the heart of Danville is repOsing a
Iiece of the first railroad built in Anu
erica Such is the fact, nevertheless,
and 7. l.. Evans Sons are the owners
Of the rare old curiosity which is
relic of value.
1t can be seen anytime at the Evans
Stone Works aud when its history is
known ali examination of the strange
piece of old railroad is of absorbing
interest.
From West Quincy. Mass, to the
South Boston wharves the famous road
! extended, having been built when the
United States as a nation was yet in
its infancy. Over the road vas haul
ed stone that entered into tie con-
| stTuction of the Bunker Hill monu-
ment, the stone being taken to the Bos-
ton wharves and loaded on sChooners,
which conveyed it very near to the site
| of the monument. At the present time
this railroad, not only the first in Am
erica, but one of the first in the world,
is part of the Old Colony railroad,
the company now using 1T of course
having reconstructed it and made its
| equipment modem.
So much for the history of it. The
piece of the road that L. L. Evans
Sons have which they secured when on
a trip to Massachusetts,, is just as in
teresting In its antique construction
and utter variance with present day
railroad formation as is its history.
The road was built Oh granite block,
and Evans brothers have block about
two feet long by foot wide and two
feet thick. To build a railroad on sucI
lines must indeed have been exceed
ingly laborious to say nothing of the
time the work of construction woulC
require. The stones ran in the same
direction as the rails, there being ne
ties, and the rails were bolted to the
stones. The rails are very odd along
side of the massive steel ones over
which modern express trains thunder
at the rate of sixty miles an hour. In
fact a rail of the old Massachusetts,
road is nothing more than fiat, slight
ly rounded, piece of steel about three
inches wide and not more than three
fourths of an inch in thickness. In the
block of stone, with its rusty rail,
Evans Brothers certainly have a relic
that is worth owning

en- as proof positive that all Of the
people living in this city and owning
property here are content with their

their possessions in order TO move TO

the advent Of the new trolley line are

GORGED BY AN
ANGRY BULL

Mrs. Edward Fisher, of Rushtown,
Monday forenoon narrowly escaped
being gored to death by an angry bull.
She was butted severely by the mad
dened brute and only the fact that the
animal had no horns and help was near
saved her AS it was she was pain
fully injured and sustained great
shock from the terrifying experience.
The attack Of the bull took Mrs
Fisher totally unawares and she had
no chance to get away. The bull charg-
ed her time and again, knocking her
10 the ground and attacking her each
time before she could arise. a pole
was chained around the brute's neck.
In trying to grasp this to keep the
bull from goring her Mrs. Fisher bad
ly sprained one of her arms.
The woman was in an extremely
dangerous and distressing position
when her husband came to her rescue,
just in the niche of time. He belabor-
ed the bull with heavy club and
finally drove it off so he could assist
his wife to place of safety. So vic
ious was the animal that it even chew
ed the bonnet of the woman aud paw
ed the ground wildly.
DR.. Smith, of South Danville, was
called to attend Mrs. Fisher. He
found her suffering from severe bruises
especially on the stomach, and one of
her arms is sprained but he does not
think that her condition is dangerous.

NEARLY THREE
CENTURIES OLD

Three violins valued at thousands of
dollars are owned by 7. A. SchOtt
we'll known coal dealer of this city,
who is a performer on the violin aud
who talks Interestingly of the history
of his musical treasures and the as
siduous care he has used in keeping
the rare old instruments faultless and
mellow in tone. Nearly three centuries
old is the remarkable record of on of
the violins
The oldest violin was made in Italy
away back in 1910 The second is a
genuine Stradivarius made in 1870.
The violins were brought to America
By Mr.. Schott's grandfather, Anthony
Schott, in 1876, from France, then
they passed into the possession of JOS
eph Schott, an uncle of the Danville
man and from him to their present
owner. 1t took Mr.. Schott seven years
to get them together and in the per-
| feet condition in which he now has
his collection. The third instrument
of the collection is cello that is 189
years old Mr.. Schott has records prov
ing the age and make of each costly
instrument, substantiating the claims
that some might otherwise try to dis
prove.
Each violin reposes in silk lined
case of the finest workmanship. The
owner explains that the purpose of
such extreme care is to protect the
pores of the wood, keeping the violins
rich and mellow. Mr.. Schott has made
violins himself One he constructed
with the use of a pocket knife, taking
months to complete it, and he knows
every phase of the treatment the violin
\ requires.
He has been offered large sums for
| single instruments, but he will not
break his historic collection, which he
says il ever sold will go only to one
purchaser.
