erll parties walking out Market street
neared the corner and the strange man
took to his heels and ran up Third
street, followed by Hershey aud sever
al others. The fellow ran up Third
street until he reached the Packer

ley to Fourth street. Several parties
coming down Third street at the time

COMMUNICATION TO
BOARD OF HEALTH

The local Board of Health has re-
ceiyed the following communication
from Samuel G. Dixon, Commissioner
of Health. which is printed OH re-
quest:
Allow me respectfully to call your
attention to the fact that Section IS
of tho Act of June lS, 1895, requires
that "tho health authorities of all
municipalities shall furnish to prin.
cipals or other persons in charge of
public, private. parochial, Sunday or
other schools, and to physicians, the
necessary certificates or blanks for the
uses and purposes as set forth as re-
quired in Section l2 of said Act, which
Section reads as follows:
IAN principals or other persons in
charge of schools as aforesaid are here
by required to refuse the admission of
any child to the schools under their
charge or supervision, except upon a
certificate signed by physician set
ing forth that such child has been
ucceisfuliy vaccinated, or that it has
previously had smallpox"
Section l3 provides in addition that
"The registry of said schools shall
exhibit the names and residences of
all children or persons admitted or re-
jacted for reasons set forth in this
Act, and said registry shall be open
at all times to the inspection of the
bealth authorities. "
In view of the above recited re.
squiyements. | would suggest the im'
portanoe of at once making inquiry in
order to discover whether the princip
ais or other persons in charge of all

Sunday or other schoos) and all ply
sicians within your jurisdiction have
been thus supplied with the necessary
certificates. blanks or registrles as re.
quired by law.
1t will be the duty of your board tt
supply any deficiencies in this respect
1t will also be its duty to notify eacl
principa or teacher. as tue case ma,
be, formally and in writing, of the re
quirements of the law and the penaltie
for its II eglect or violation.
Yours very truly.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT
TO BREAK JAIL

lock the big gate in the cage, which
failed to fit the lock.
Last Saturday afternoon a relative
of Hllderman's visited the Jail and
when she returned home he sent O note
with her. In response to this, Sees al
leges, another installment of hack saws
arrived Saturday night. He is very
confident that in all cases the articles
surreptitiously conveyed to the Jail
came in through the back window,
which is raised at night to admit air.
He is equally positive that they we're
conveyed to the Jail by two fellows
which were known to Barrett and
Halderman as Seitz and "Toughy. "
This he said he had from the two men
themselves.
. Sees said the men Sunday worked
hard in their efforts to saw the iron
bars through. During the day time
the men were permitted to come out of
their cells into a sort of hallway and
it was only at such times that the
work could be carried on. Sees ad-
rittcd that tho men worked in his
cell, but declared that he was not in
collusion with them. Halderman, he
said, was the man who did the most
of the work, Barrett mostly keeping
watch.
Officer John G.. Voris was also wit
ness. He testified that during yester-
day forenoon lie had conversation
with Ralph Hahn and asked him how
long he had been known as "Toughy. !"
Hahn replied, the officer said, that he
had Travelled under that name for ten
years.
Both Seitz and Hahn were held for
court IN 800 bail. Neither of them
procuring a bondsman they were com.
mitted.

MRS. WILSON
VISITS old Home

Mrs. William Wilson, who nineteen
years ago with her husband and chill
dreu removed from Danville to far
away Oregon, has made long journey
back to her old home here only
to have what was looked forward to
as happy visit darkened by great
sorrow, which has fallen like blight
npon her household in the West Mrs.
Wilson arrived here one week ago aud
on Wednesday while visiting her
brother, J. +. Hendrickson. Valley
township. received letter conveying
th3 dreadful news that her son, Harvey
Wilson, deputy Sheriff. had been
found dead in his office. the victim OF
a pistol shot.
The Wilson family is we'll remember.
ed in this city. William Wilson, the
husband and father. was CLERK in the
Post Office while both Colonel @. W.
| Eckman and Thomas Chalfant were
postmasters. The deputy Sheriff. whose
tragic death is noted above, was a
| pupil in the public schools of Danville
! md like his father is we'll remem ber-
cd here.
1t was about 1886 that Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson with their family of eight chill.
iren bade adieu to relatives and
friends and started on their long jour-
ney to Paradise, Oregon, where forty
five miles from railroad they settled
on farm. Years passed by while the
children grew up and some of them
married. At intervals letters passed
civilization and their relatives in this
section, but Mrs. Wilson's visit is the
first that any of the family has made
to the East
The usual life of self.denial which
falls to the lot of early settlers was
theirs. They had their sorrows. too
Before they had been very long il
their new home their eldest son wa.
stricken with fever aud he died. Or
the farm a solitary grave to this day
kept green by loving hands, shows
where his bones repose. If the first
death which occurred where ever
strangers were few, was hard blow
to bear. the death of second son SC
sudden and tragic falls with still more
crushing force on the mothers heart
who is a weeks journey from where
lie died and where dwell all the sor
rowing survivors but herself.
The young mans death it appears i
enshrouded in mystery. He was deputy
Sheriff of Wallawa county. Oregon
and may have had enemies. He wal
found lying on the floor of his Office
beside the chair OH which he had beer
sitting. On the floor lay revolver
with one of the chambers empty. The
lall had pierced his body producing 6
fatal wound, death apparently beinl
yearly instantaneous.
Mrs. Wilson was accompanied Z ,s
by her sister. Mrs. Sarah Surver, o
Montandon, who had been sojournin,
in Oregon for year.

ected for its employees, by the Ameri.
can Gar and Foundry Company at

State AID FUR
BOROUGH STREETS

There are good many persons who
are familiar with the Spronls Good
Roads law under which the State
Highway in MahoninR township was
constructed, who can not understand
how State Aid in road building ap-
plies TO Boroughs and fantylthat those
persons labor under some misapprehe N
sion, who advocate the macadamizing
of North Mill street under the Good
Roads Law. The following section
from the Law Providing State Aid in
Construction and Maintenance of Pub
lie Roads as approved May /, 1905,
will clear up the whole matter and
will show how nicely the law applies

said borough or boroughs to improve

dwelt upon the pleasure of the soldiers,
annual reunions. In conclusion he in.
Weighed against the corruption in
politics and urged the old soldiers to
stand up for the free institutions for
which they fought IN War and at the
ballot box to be always found on the
side of the masses and against the cor

The Keystone Double Quartette rem
dered another selection, after which
Rev Jules Foin delivered a fine ad-

Rev. Foin spoke with exceptionally
telling effect along the line of fratern-
al love and love of country, which
brought forth vigorous applause.
He was followed with George w.
Conklin, of Company L, who made a
very felicitous address.
The last address of the evening was
delivered by James Scarlet. whom Mr..
Foster introduced as one of the hon
orary members of the Association of
Company A. Mr.. Scarlet was greeted
with prolonged applause and his sd-
dress was one of his best efforts. As
the speaker dwelt in his usual stirring

the respect aud reverence due the old
soldiers deep silence which showed
tho closest attention reigned in every

the bend Regiment, held in this city
Monday, the seventh annual reunion
of the lS1th regiment. in which so
many of the survivors are Danville
men, will be held at York on Wednes-
day, October 4th.
York was the home of Company B /;
the adjoining county of Cumberland
was the home of Company d. A large
these two counties, who will put forth
every effort to give the members of the
regiment hearty welcome.
The Reunion will be held III the Hall

ment and his name is one of the five
that at present appears on the Execu

The old soldiers declare that these
annual reunions are each year beocm-

is not at all strange. AS they are made
up of men that touched elbews in

Yesterday one week ago the accident

suited in the injury by burning of
John Sherwood, John jenkins. Nicholas
Hill, Charles Smedley and Fred Wen

the exception of Mr.. Sherwood, who
was burned the worst of all, the in
jured men have SO far recovered as to
be able to appear upon the street, al
though it will be another week before
any of them can resume work.
John Sherwood is still confined to
his home and is in rather bad way,
although there is no doubt whatever
as to his early recovery. All the mould
