A VISIT FROM
THE GOVERNOR

The river bridge, which as it ap
proaches completion proves to be th'
source of so much qualification and de
light to our citizens according to al
accounts during the next few weeks il
to prove instrumental in bringing th'
Governor of the Commemorative "
Pennypacker to Danville.
Construction Engineer H. r. Leon
ard accompanied by Assistant En-
giueer Norman was in this CITY Satur-
day in connection with the laying oi
the track of the Danville and Sunbury
Electric Railway in the river bridge.
J Mr.. Leonard had an interview with
the County Commissioners while iI
{ this city and gave some information
relating to the completion of the
bridge. He is very we'll pleased
with the big structure as far as COM
pleted. The entire Committee on Pub.
lie Grounds and Buildings who have
mad the building of the bridge in hand
a.e much interested in its completion.
Mr.. Leonard is authority for the state
ment that when the time comes for
taking the bridge off the contractors
hands Governor Pennypaoker along
with others will come to Danville and
will be present at the inspection.
In reply to some inquiries Mr.. Leon
ard assured the Commissioners that the
eastern wingwall at the Danville ap-
proaoh, which is somewhat criticised
owing to its location, is perfectly right
and proper and just as intended. He
admitted that at the present stage of
the work when looked at separately,
without any reference to the whole. the
wall might strike the eye oddly, but
when viewed from the bridge or from
any point ON Mill street it will be found
to conform with the latter thorough
fare and to strike the eye pleasantly.
Besides, when the bridge is completed
the effect, will be altogether different.
The sidewalk will be extended to the
end of the wing walls and will be pro-
tected by the same railing as is used
on the side of the bridge, which will
be planted in the coping of the wing
walls.
Mr.. Leonard informed the Commits.
sioners that all matters are definitely
settled as to the track of the Danville
and Sunbury Electric Railway. There
will be but one track, as set forth in
the columns of the News last week. He
does not see how two tracks as insist
ed upon b, some could help matters
very much. The present arrangement
with necessary precaution he regards
as perfectly safe. The fine bridge with
its double sidewalks built by the State
at such cost should thoroughly fill
the bill he thinks and leave the public
nothing further to ask for or desire.

TWO Lines
Will Be BUILT

There is no longer any question a.
to the success of the Rural Telephone
System. Long before the Fourth Of
July there will be several lines In
working order in Montour County.
The Company has decided to 60 ON
Immediately with the construction Of
two lines connecting the towns Of
Wash ingtonville, Strawberry Ridge.
White Hall, Exchange and Jersey.
town. The Company is now lookink
after poles and other needed material
as we'll as for contractors to undertake
the construction work. On the two
lines described there are some fifty
, subscribers.
Mr.. Pettijohn yesterday stated that
the success achieved far exceeds his
most sanguine expectations when he
entered upon the work in Montour
County. He finds large number Of
farmers, who not only subscribed for
stock but lend their time and their in.
huenoe to assist the enterprise. Both
he and Mr.. Amerman acknowledge
themselves especially indebted to Mr..
J. W. Lowrie, of Strawberry Ridge.
who has put in several days in the in
terest of the rural phone and who has
been largely instrumental In winning
success in that locality. The senti.
ment Is rapidly growing and those who
have subscribed are anxious to have
the line completed. Only few pre-
liminary details remain to be arrsng.
ed, after which actual work will be-
gin. Sixty days ought to be sufficient
for winding up work on the two lines.
Successful as the promoters have
been, however, it is not altogether
clear sailing A few persons are not
favorable to the rural phones. One of
the objections urged is that rural
telephone system, if established might
lead to the abolishment of the rural
free delivery by cutting down the vol
ume of correspondence. Mr.. Pettijohn
declares that nowhere in the West
where rural telephone systems are
common has such thing as the dis.
placement of the rural free delivery
ever occurred, while should q parcel
post maintained in connection with
the R. f. D. ever come to pass the
rural phone would become a factor
that would add greatly to the general
efficiency of the mail service.

The delightful weather, which has
kept people guessing as to whether or
not spring has come, during the last
couple of days has added another
spring g-like quality in the form of
April showers. These are of the ap-
proved traditional sort-gentle rain
accompanied with warm atmosphere.
Vegetation is beginning to respond.
Tie grass is growing almost every
where. The lilac bushes are bursting
into leaves. and the birds are singing
on every side. Many fields are already
ploughed in our county and great
deal of oats will be sowed during the
next courle of weeks.

Carpet Beating rlicrobe Spreader.

The beating OF carpets and rugs by
throwing them over line in the back
yard or spreading them on the lawn is
a menace to the public health, say the
health authorities.
By such beating the microbes are
hammered into the air, where the
spring winds distribute them through
the neighborhood. Here is the advice
given householders "If you have a
carpet to beat do it in the early morn
ing and on still day if possible and
spare your neighbors as much of the
infliction as you can.

SAFE ROBBERS
FOILED

Night Wstchman Hover, of the
Bloomsbury postoffice, at 2 :45 o'clock.
yesterday morning. foiled burglars in
their attempt to blow up the safe.
Mr.. Hover entered the alley way in
the rear OF the postotfice to ascertain
il the rear doors were securely locked,
and caught the burglars red-handed at
their work, but the men, hearing him,
succeeded in effecting their escape by
way of the front door of the postoffioe,
before he could reach them.
The burglars had taken the precau-
tion to cut the arc light wire aud the
streets were in total darkness. 1t was
about 2 80 o'clock when this was done
and, had they had five minutes more
for their work, before being scared
away, they would have succeeded in
blowing up the safe.
The burglars had effected an en-
trance into the postoffice by prying
open the front door. This they sue
oeeded in doing with much apparent
trouble and without defacing the
woodwork. Opening the one door they
then opened the other so as to facii-
tate their escape if they were caaght
in the act. To open the door they u.s.
ed two old chisels, probably stolen
from some place in the town.
They had succeeded in removing the
knob from the large safe in the office,
and in the hole they had already plac-
ed thier charge of nitrogly cerine, run
ming it along track of soap.
The burglar we're careful in their
work to take all precautions not to set
fire to the building. for they placed
the waste basket away from the wall
and in the middle of the lobby floor to
lessen the danger of fire.
Two suspicious characters we're seen
on the streets on Tuesday evening.
They had just left the postoffice when
they accosted citizen for money to
get something to eat, remarking at the
time, IT'S better to bog than to
steal"
Both men appeared to be under 80
years of age. and both had boards of
several days growth on their faces.
They had been lettering around the
postoffice for some time.

John N. BAUSCH
IS NO MORE

John n Bausch, one of Danville's e
old residents, whose long business
career is identified with the steady de-
velopment of our town, departed this
life at II :45 o'clonk Sunday night,
aged eiAhty-ive years.
No man in DAnville was better known
than John M. Bausoh. He was native
of Wurtemburg. Germany. but came
to America when a young man and
lived nearly all his life in Danville.
He went into the brewing business,
aud for many years conducted the plant
now the Germsnia Brewery, but which
during his ownership was always
known as Bausch's brewery. In bust
ness he was successful.
The deceased enjoyed a vigorous and
hardy old age until within less than a
year ago when the infirmities of de-
clining years began to tell on him. He
was confined to the house for several
months. A couple of weeks ago his
ailment took such form that he was
no longer able to remain In bed and he
was obliged day and night to occupy a
chair. Following Tuesday of last week
he was practically helpless.
The deceased was for many years a
widower. family Of sons and dauRh-
ters having preceded him to the grave.
He resided with his daughter, Mrs.
Kate AllRaier, unit. her death less
than q year ago since when he has
lived with his two granddaughters,
Miss Lille NJ. Allgaier and Miss Elsie
Sainsbury.
All that was mortal of John M.
Bausch was laid away in Odd Fell
lows cemetery yesterday afternoon,
and the busy career. which was begun
among the vine-clsd hills of the Faith
erland eighty five years ago is now
closed to earth forever.
The funeral, which took place from
the family residence, Water street, was
very largely attended, among those
who followed the remains to the grave
being a number of our German Ameri-
cans. who were bound to the deceased
with the tie of nationality and who
esteemed him for his many sterling
qualities as q man and an American
citizen.
The remains were borne to their last
resting place by six we'll known resi-.
dents, who had known and associated
with the deceased all their lives-John
Bruder, Frederick Held. Andrew Schatz
George Miles, William Russell and
Frank Boyer.
The services we're conducted by Rev.
DR.. NJ. L. Shindel and we're very i'm
pressive.

Value Of Eggs As Food.

Almost everybody eats eggs
: There is perhaps no article Of die
that is more commonly eaten IN al
countries than eggs. Hens egg
are used more than any other kind
although some people eat duel
eggs, goose eggs and the eggs o
the guinea fownl. Turkey eggs ar.
not so otter eaten; they are gener
ally kept for Matching
Eggs consist Of protein and fat,
water and mineral matter. 1t is the
protein Or nltrogenous matter that
builds up and repairs the tissues Of
the body, while the, fat supplies
energy. The white of an egg is
often said to be pure albumen, but
it also contains phosphoric acid and
sodium chloride, or common salt
The yolk contains the. fatty part Of
the egg phosphorus, calcium,
magnesium, potassium and iron.
Eggs also contain sulphur. and this
probably accounts for the dark
stain left by eggs on silver.
Eggs are very easily digested.
Raw eggs are more easily digestcd
than cooked eggs. Soft-boiIed eggs,
roasted eggs and poached eggs are
more easily digested than fried or
bsrd-boiled eggs. The stomach will
digest raw egg in from one and
half to two hours. Soft-bolled and
roasted eggs require from two and
half to three hours, while hard
boiled or fried eggs must be allowed
from three and half to four hours
for digestion.
Eggs furnish a good substitute
fol- meat, and we believe 1t would
be far better for the average person
it eggs were more frequently used
in place of meat. Medical Talk.
