COMPELLING
VACCINATION

The enforcement of the school law
relating to vaccination admits OF no
exceptions. The State Department. of
Health by a judicious use o. printer 8
ink has made it perfectly clear to
school superintendents. principals and
Others in charge of schools just what
their duty is in the premises in order
to avoid penalty.
In town our school authorities hew
very closely to the line and at the very
beginning of the term no pupil is ad.
mitted without bringing evidence that
he has been successfully vaccinated.
In one or more of the rural districts.
it seems, the teachers whatever their
methods may be. have difficult time
of it in bringing about a compliance
with the law. While in town schools
vaccination is a closed incident, in
some of the rural districts sore arms
among the pupils are Just now the
rule.
At Styers' School house. West Hem.
lock township, yesterday the teacher
in order to compel the enforcement OF
the law sent home every pupil that
could not produce the approved evid.
enoe that he or she mad been vaccinat
ed. This, it is reported, left but foul
pupils In school. The measure arous.
ed good bit of feeling in some quart
ers. but the teacher has the school la "
OH his side and had no choice but tc
proceed as he did.
Under the State Department oi
Health in whose hands the enforce
ment of vaccination has rested since
September 10Th, the law is more rigid
ly applied than before. The change
in the form of certificates required
however, has given rise to the impres
sion among some people that the &C
of 1895 does not apply and they seen
to be to some extent at sea as to jus
how far the law makes vaccination
compulsory.

Basket Ball Team.

The patrons of sport in Danville will
be pleased to learn that a basket ball
team has been organized here, and that
during the coming winter a series of
games will be played at the Armory.
William Ellenbogen has been chosen
to manage the team, and is at present
arranging schedule of games that
will bring to Danville the best teams
in this section, and number from
points more distant. In talk upon
the prospects for the seasons sport
Mr.. Ellenbogen stated yesterday that
the team would be managed in a
thoroughly business like and straight
forward manner. A schedule will be
made out and strictly adhered to. and
If through any misohance team does
not fill its engagement, the patrons
money will be refunded.
The personnel of the team as it now
stands is: Frank W. Newbaker and
Frank Russell. forwards; will Sech.

To the casual eye work does not
seem to be progressing very rapidly at
the double box culvert OH the p. 81 r.
Railway just east of the station, al
though no doubt the progress made is
quite satisfactory to experts, who
know what to expect in operations of
that kind.
just at present the concrete is be-
ing laid for beginning of the third
or last three walls to be built. From
present appearances the culvert will
be a winters job. The work is in very
oarefol hands and is being done in a
way to insure strength and perman-
ency.

THE PHENlX.
Legend of How 1t Lived and Died
and Lived Again.

Legend of How 1t Lived and Died
and Lived Again.
The ancient tradition concerning the
phenix has introduced into nearly ev-
cry language the habit of applying that
name to whatever Is singular or un-
common among its kind According to
ancient writer's, the phenix was bird
of great beaury about the size of an
eagle. A shining and most beautiful
crest adorned its head, its plumage
contained nearly every tint of the rain
bow, and its eyes sparkled like dia-
monds. Only one of these birds could
live at time, but its existence covered
a period of 800 or GOO years. When its
life drew to a close the bird built for
itself funeral pile of wood and aro-
matte spices, with its wings famed the
pile into flame and therein consumed
itself From its ashes worm was
produced, out of which another phenix
was formed, having all the vigor of
youth. The first care of the new phenix
was to solemnize its parents obsequies.
For that purpose it made ball of
myrrh franiincense and other fra
grant things. AT Heliopolis, city in
lower Egypt there was magnificent
temple dedicated to the sun. To this
temple the pheniX would carry the fra
grant ball and burn it on the altar of
the sun as n sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found that
exactly 800 years or exactly GOO years
had elapsed since that same ceremony
had taken place.

More WOrkmen Wanted,

Several business men, employers of
help. were in conversation last even
ing and they agreed that not for many
years. II ever in the history of Dan
vile. has it been so difficult to secure
hands as at the present time Each in
turn related his experience in al ef-
fort to secure few extra hands, which
showed that not only at the present
but for months past industrial condi-
tIons in Danville have been of the
most encouraging sort aud that not a
man nor a boy who is able and will
ing to work need suffer for want of
employment. 1t is fact that our
leading industries and work along all
lines are seriously handicapped by the
want of working men.
Prosperity is at high water mark all
over the land and the scarcity of help
is general. Danville has little relief
to expect. therefore, and even il sup
erior Inducements were to attract
workinRmen here there would he no
houses in which to domicile their
families. There are practically no
dwellings for rent in Danville. which
shows that the deficiency of working.
men is not due to any falling off of
the population.
The prosperity at home and else
where indicated by the above condi
tions is most gratifying especially at
the present, standing as we do OH the
threshold of winter, when steady work
is necessary to keep the wolf from the
door and to supply all the comforts
needed in the household.

A POINTER FOR
CANDIDATES

The souvenir post card craze has
suggested new and very practical
idea to candidates. who will this fall
send through the mails their photo
graphs or small card containing for
example the familiar legend: "Vote
for John Smith, etc." The card need
be the usual inexpensive affair and all
the candidate will have to do will be
to place one cent stamp and the ad.
dress OF the voter he wants to reach
on the blank side. Thus at minimum
of expense he will be able, as it were,
to meet the voter face to face and
present his claim for support.
Post Master Harder yesterday said
he could not see that such use of the
mail would conflict with the postal
law. 1t would make no difference so
long as weight, etc., we're within the
proper limit whether the post card con-
tanned the picture of the various sorts
in vogue with legend amusing or
otherwise or the matter-of- fact face of
candidate with a direct appeal for
support.
This method of electioneering will
have some advantages. 1t will not
only be cheap and involve little labor
but will have the charm of novelty.
The face of the candidate will turn
up smilingly with the morning mail
and the voter does not exist who will
turn it down without some oonsidera-

Grain Crop Enormous.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-If it we're
possible to load all tile grain raised in
the United States this year on single
train, that train would be II 1881 miles
long-nearly four times the distance
from Philadelphia to San Francisco.
More than million and half cars
would make up this train. and 1t would
require n. 500 locomotives to draw the
load. These locomotives alone W ould
extend from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg.
And If the farmers were to receive
present prices for their crops they
would have 1878, ,5lS, 1888 to deposit in
bank.
The foregoing figures give some idea
OF the enormous size of the crops har-
vested this year-the greatest in the
history of the uation. To get the
wheat and the corn aud oats and all
other cereals to the consumers is the
problem bothering transportation man
ayers.
There is already car shortage, and
1t will grow worse as winter appro-
aches. Reports from Buffalo show that
5000, 900 bushels of grain are stored
there. and net car yet available to
move it. In Minnesota and the Oak
otas the wheat and barley alone will
fill 1884, cars.
Efforts to meet the present situation
have just about exhausted the railroad
clerks who have charge of the car rec
ords. Lights are burning far into the
night in every freight agents office
east of the Mississippi and car tracers
are using all their skill to find box
oars that have strayed or are idle in
order that they may be rushed, loaded
or empty. to the grain growing dis
triots. Whether these derelict cars can
furnish transportation for the tremen-
dous surplus that will be demanded by
grain export houses is something that
will not be decided for more than a
month.

A COON HUNTERS
LONELYVIGIl

After a vigil of 2S hours at the foot
OF tree in which a big black bear
had taken refuge. Clarence Ringler, of
Trout Run, shot the animal at day
break, Monday.
Ringler went coon hunting, Satur-
day night, expecting to be home by
midnight. But at about ii O'Clock he
discovered a bear, which climbed a
tree to escape the attack of his little
dog.
. Ringler built fire, expecting that
the reflection of the flames would dis
close the animal, but the boughs of the
tree were too thick, so he encamped at
the foot of the tree to wait for day.
break. He soon remembered that there
is penalty of s25 for shooting game
on Sunday, but he was determined TO
have that bear, and decided to remain
on guard, being mindful of the fact
that if he left the place, the bear would
shin down the tree and escape to the
tall timber.
Wnen day daWned, he saw the bear
huddled on limb against the trunk
OF the tree, about thirty feet above the
ground. He forced himself to remain
awake on Sunday night, and OH Mon
day morning at six o'clock when the
light OF day disclosed the form OF the
bear. Ringler aimed and shot. the bear
tumbling down through the branches
to the ground, when second shot
finished 1t.
The bear weighed 2S7 pounds, and
one OF his hind paws was gone, appar-
entity having at some time been caught
In steel trap, when he gnawed off
the member to gain his freedom.
When Ringler reached home for help
to carry the bear and incidentally to
get something to eat, he found his
friends in a state of high excitement
over his long absence, fearing that he
had met with some accident.

AUCTION SALE
OF HORSES

A horse sale at the City Hotel stables
was the center of attraction in Dan.
vile Oh Saturday. The horses for sale,
twenty in number, included some very
fine specimens. AS usual there was a
difference OF opinion as to the true
value of some of the horses. A few
were knocked down at figures which
seemed to make the bargain an envi-
able one, but probably in the majority
OF instances the horses brought all
they were worth. 1t was the first
horse sale that has taken place in this
city for some time and it attracted a
large crowd Of interested people.
The sale was held by Waldron, the
horse man and the horses disposed of
included readers. farm and general
purpose horses. brought in from Can
ada.
I. l.. Evans Sons bought large
gray for $l75. which is beauty. The
horse Is match to the other gray be-
longing to the firm and they have now
as fine a team of grays as can be found
in this section. The outfit was much
admired yesterday as the two brothers
enjoyed a spin through town behind
the matches.
Liveryman G. W. Hoke bought a
beautiful little bay for sl6s, which
matches the liveryman's other bay
and gives him very desirable team.
The horse is young and as gentle as a
lamb.
Frank Fry also made a purch sse,
buying a grey colt for $95.
William Lindner got grey pony
for $35.
small bay horse was knocked down
to Roland Meyer for $147.50.
Francis Fisher, of Mahoning town
ship. bought fine black mare for $l42.
James Pollock, of WashinRtonville,
bought black horse for $160.
A good looking bay horse was knock
ed down to John Patton for $40.
A big bay was knocked down to
Clarence Campbell of Rush township
for $l75.
A big grey team, which proved quite
an attraction, was knocked down to
Wellington Moser, of Limestone town.
ship. for 1886.
| The remainder of the horses were
sold mostly to farmers living through
out the county. Three good horses
went to Bloomsburg.
Johnny Williams, of Bloomsbury,
was auctioneer and he kept things
moving during the afternoon.

New Law EXPLAINED.

There has been some misapprehen-
sion concerning the trespass law which
was recently enacted and mauy be-
lieve that one-half of the fine goes to
the prosecutor, land that the fine is fix
ed at ten dollars or ten days. The law
says the fine shall not exceed ten dol
lars, hence Justice of the peace could
place the fine at any amount under
that sum which he thought equitable
in consideration of the facts in the
case.
Thus If man simply went through
another mans woods and did no dam
age the Justice of. the peace might con
olude the offense was so slight that
the nominal fine of few cents would
be just right. On the other hand if
the trespasser tore down a fence. cut
down chestnut tree, picked berries,
or tramped down grass or growing
crops it would seem that the offence
might most equitably be treated by
the imposing of fine of five or ten
dollars which would have a tendency
to remind the trespasser that he should
respect the rights of his fellow man.
Iu regard to the disposition of the
fine the law states that the entire fine
shall be paid into the treasury of the
school board of the township in which
the trespass occurs. The costs in case
Of conviction shall be placed OH the
defendant. The intention of the law
does not appear to be so much to re-
strain hunters-the regular fish and
game law does that-but rather to GOV
er more thoroughly that class of tres.
passers who go into meadows to pick
berries and enter woods and cut down
trees to obtain nuts.

Benjamin Tanner Improving.

Benjamin Tanner. the son of Henry
Tanner, Liberty township. who was
found unconscious, is impro wing rapid
ly, although still unable to be ont of
bed.
At the time the affair was very mys-
terious. for the lad, being unconscious,
could not tell what had happened to
him. Even now he can not tell the
exact cause Of his injuries. Something
struck him on the back of the neck,
and-he remembers nothing until he
recovered his senses some hours later.
When he was struck down he was
standing near a colts stall. The colt
was in the habit of playfully raising
the pole between the stalls. and 1t is
thought that he was hit by this.
