STORES OPEN
IN THE EVENING.

The early closing season ended with
the last of September and yesterday
most Ofthe stores remained open after
six o'clock IN the evening. The illu-
minated buildings made Mill street
appear much more cheerful, although
from appearances the volume of bust
ness done was not heavy. This Is be-
cause the people have gotten out of
the habit of shopping after six O'Clock
and it will be some time before they
become accustomed to going to the
store III the evening. The evening, too,
was rainy one and most people chose
to remain in doors.
AS soon as our people become ia mi
liar with the fact that the stores are
open there will be a good deal of sh op-
ping during the long evenings. There
seems to be a sentiment among the
merchants in favor of closing at 8
o'clock and that was the hour at which
most of the stores were closed last
evening. a few are not in favor of
setting any hour for closing up, while
Others prefer adhering to the rule of
the summer aad closing at six O'Clock
each day with the exception of Satur-
day. 1t is not unlikely that O'Clock
will be the hour on which a comPro-
mise will be made and that what shop
ping is done in the evening will have
to be finished before that hour. Later
in the season the time may be extend

GRAND JURY'S
RECOMMENDATIONS.

The Grand Jury in session during
the present week has made large
number OF recommendation every one
of which is in line with good judR-
ment and is necessary to insure pro-
lection of public property. The rec
OmmendatiOn relating to repairs at
the Court House. especially, are time
ly and important The bdilding-
walls and woodw ork-need painting
and need it badly in order to conform
with the imposing steps and the broad
expanse of concrete pavement just COM
pleted in front Of aud alongside the
building. The Grand Jury's recon-
mendations in full are as follows:
To The Honorable Judge of Quarter
Sessions OF Montour County:
The Grand Jury are pleased to re-
port that the recommendation of the
previous Grand Jury have been salts
factorily complied with.
We have inspected the several pub
lIo building, the river bridge, and
find them in good condition, with the
exception of the following repairs
needed.
AT the court House we would rec
onmend that the roof of the porch
in front be covered with a sheeting OF
copper or lead to properly protect the
stone work from injury caused by
rain, snow and freezing; also that the
baluster of the porch be .eplaced with
new one-that the walls and wood
work of the outside of the Court House
be painted. We find the condition of
the heaters in the cellar so bad that
they can not be used. We recommend
repairs.
At the Jail we recommend plumbing
IN the several cells be put in proper
repairs; also that an electric light be
placed Immediately in rear of the Jail
building in the Jail yard. the necessity
of which is urgent.
AS to the river brige we recommend
that it be examined by an expert
bridge builder or an engineer under
the personal supervision of the Coun-
ty Commissioners.
We would respectfully say that this
Grand Jury has complied with the re-
quest from the Court and have viewed
the public road adjoining the trolley
track in Mahoning and Cooper town
ships. We find the trolley track sew
eral inches higher than the wagon road
and we recommend that the trolley
people grade from public road across
trolley track by filling up to such
height as will make it possible for
wagons to drive on and off the track
when necessary. We also recommend
that plank be laid between the rails at
all cross roads and crossings.
We consider the gutter on the north
side of the public road in said town
ship to be in an unsafe condition MS
it now exists. We recommend filling
up on some measure that may make it
| perfectly safe for travel.

Cider MILL
IS CROWDED

The cider making season is now at
it's height and visit to Hoover Bros
modern hydraulic press proves very in
teresting and shows that this firm is
having fair share of the business.
The season opened some three weeks
ago. Hoover Bros. have not been kept
as busy as during some former seasons
owing to the partial failure of the ap
pie crop. Just at present the farmers
are picking their apple and the best
use that can be made of the culls and
wind is to make cider of them. Just
now. therefore, the time is well oc-
cupied at the cider press and yesterday
there was scarcely an hour when two
or three loaded wagons were not
a waiting their turn. The maximum
daily product of Hoover Bros press is
some 3, 800 gallons. Three thousand
gallons or even less is considered a
good days work.
The apples seen at the press yester
day were large aud luscious revealing
no signs of inferiority. A popularity
of the yield this year seems to be that
one orchard produces we'll, while the
one on the farm adjoining or those on
several farms near bear only partial
crop or have no apples at all. Never
theless in the aggregate large quaint
ity of apples will be thrown upon the
market. When the crop is large one
enormous quantities of apples go to
waste. Allowing for a shortage this
year should apples be properly taken
care of the crop will probably be large
enough to satisfy all demand.
