The statistical reports received by
the state superintendent of public in
struction indicate that the rural COM
mon school is not accomplishing the
work for which it was established. All
the other public schools of the state
are comparatively well organized and
working satisfactorily and progress
sively. Forty-three per cent. of the
children of the state practically receive
their education in the rural schools.

New Law Explained.

There has been some misapprehen-
sion concerning the trespass law which
was recently enacted and many be-
lieve that one half of the fine goes to
the prosecutor, and 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
clude 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 a 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 tendency
to remind the trespasser that he should
respect the rights of his fellow man.
In 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 COW
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.

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. printers
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 vacciuated.
In one or more of the rural districts.
it seems, the teachers whatever their
methods may be. have a difficult time
of it in bringing about a compliance
with the law. While in town schools
vaccination is closed incident. in
some of the rural districts sore arms
among the pupils are just now the
rule.
NJ bt N'iS t'CllpOl lbuSts NtSb AAClb-
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-
ence that he or she mad been vaccinat-
ed. This, it is reported. left but four
pupils IN school. The measure arous-
ed good bit of feeling in some quart
ers, but the teacher has the school law
on his side and had no choice but to
proceed as he did.
Under the State Department of
Health in whose hands the enforce
ment of vaccination has rested since
September 18th, the law is more rigid
ly applied than before. The change
in the form of certificates required,
however, has given rise to the impress
sion among some people that the act
of 1895 does not apply and they seem
to be to some extent at sea as to just
how far the law makes vaccination
compulsory.

Timers Not Saving rloneY.

The following article clipped from
Sundays Philadelphia Press, contains
some interesting facts given out by d,
l.. Mauger, district passenger agent of
the Shamokin division p. q Il. Rail
way, who is we'll known in Danville ::
"The fear entertained in metropol :
itau centers concerning the possibility
of a general anthracite coal strike next
Spring is not shared by residents be-
tween Tamaqua and Shamokiu, judg-
ing from the manner in which many
enjoyed themselves the past summer
season.
Alarmist reports We're that in every
home there was tightening of house
hold supplies in order to swell an en-
ergency fund for the time when mines
would be idle and starvation stalking
by on all sides.
Concerning these reports, ID. l..
Mauger, district passenger agent of the
Shamokin division of the Reading
Railway, made the interesting state
ment Saturday that during the Sum
mer excursion trips he arranged to
Atlantis City, Willow Grove, Switch
back and Reading were attended by
l3, 900 persons in this section. Many
more went to Lakeside Park and Edge
wood Park which are in the coal re-
gion. He said those resorts alone drew
IL, 600 excursioniSts, who thoroughly
enjoyed themselves aud spent money
freely.
During the last week 1000 people
went on excursions from this field to
Philadelphia TO attend the base bail
world championship games. The past
year the region has been in a highly
prosperous condition, and the outlook
is bright for another successful year.
When poverty shows its face the min
er is first to fight it bravely and when
good times prevail there is no one
more eager to enjoy the fruits.
When the Reading ran its first eX-
cursion train to the shore this year
officials were surprised to see such an
outpouring of people. Since then Mr.
Mauger, who is a very popular excur
sion agent, has met with hearty re-
sponse from pleasure seekers.
Edison J. Weeks, general passenger
agent, also recognizing the holiday
travel in the coal field. gave Mr.
Mauger every encouragement in fur
thering the excursions.

AUCTION SALE
OF HORSES

A horse sale at the City Hotel stables
was the center of attraction in Dan
VILE on 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. It was the first
horse sale that has taken place in this
city for some time and it attracted
large crowd Of Interested people
The sale was held by WaIdron, the
horse man and the horses disposed of
included readers, farm and general
purpose horses, brought in from Can

Action Under TreSpass Law.

The first action under the new 1905
trespass law. enacted for the especial
purpose of aiding the operators in the
event of strike was taken Saturday
morning at Mt Carmel and it was in
stituted by coal company.
1t appears that for some time past
coal has been taken from the culm
bank of the Lehigh Valley Coal Com
pany near Mt. Carmel. Much timber
has also been confscated unlawfully.
The company complied with the new
law and posted notices prohibiting
trespassing.
Saturday morning Paul VOlka was
found upon the company's land and
although apparently doing nothing
was arrested and taken before Justice
Armour, who gave him a hearing on
the charge of tresrassing. The new
law allows the punishment of a tres
passer for the mere act of getting up
on another PERSONS land if the person
has a trespass notice displayed.
VOLTA was found guilty and sentenc-
ed to pay fine of s.. He refused to
pay and was sent to the county Jail
for five days. This action shows the
great power the coal companies now
have. They can inCaTcerate all miners
found upon their premises even if no
harm is intended. That the law will
be used in case of strike there can
be no doubt.

A POINTER FOR
CANDIDATES

The souvenir post card craze has
suggested new and very practical
idea to candidates, who Will this fail
send through the mails their photo
graphs on a 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, were within the
proper limit whether the post card con-
tanned the picture of the various sorts
in vogue with a legend amusing or
otherwise or the matter of fact face of

support.
This method of eleCti2neering will
have some advantages. 1t will not

but will have the charm of novelty.

Grain Crop Enormous.

WASHINGTON,O Oct. l6.-It it we're
possible to load all the grain raised in
the United States this year on a single
train, that train would be II 93l miles
long-nearly four times the distance
from Philadelphia to San Francisco.
More than a million and half cars
would make up this train. and It would
require n, 800 locomotives to draw the
load. These locomotives alone would
extend from Philadelphia to Pitts
burg.
And if the farmers were to receive
present prices for their crops they
would have 81, S13, 5l8, 333 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 nation. To get the
wheat and the corn and oats aud all
other cereals to the consumers is the
problem botheriug transportation man

There is already a car shortage, and

aches. Reports from Buffalo show that
5000, 900 bushels of grain are stored
there. and net car yet available to
move 1t. In Minnesota and the Oak
otas the wheat and barley alone will
fill 173, 900 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
cars that have strayed or are idle III
order that they may be rushed, loaded
or empty. to the grain growing dis
tricts. 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.

HUNTING FOR
MISSING BROTHER

John GilbeIt and Jonas Fuhrman,
of Ringtown, were in this city yester-

of the two above gentlemen, who has
been lost since the Bloomsbury fair.

During the summer he worked on
farm for Frederick Lsud1g, at Ring
town. Last week he was seized with
a desire to attend the Bloomsbury fair.
On Thursday he was permitted to take
in the fair, but alf-grown boy was
sent along to take care of him.
While in the main building the two
got separated in the crowd. Despite
his efforts the boy was unable to find
his charge and was obliged to return
home and report the fact. The rela-
tives are very anxious over the matter

find his way home or even to take care

on. He would not likely ask any.
thing OF strangers either in the way
of food or shelter. What has become
of the man is question which the
relatives would like to clear up. That
he found his way out of the fair ground
is established by the fact-since learn

ing down Main street, Bloomsbury.

thought it was likely that the man
had found his way down toward Dan

More Workmen Wanted,

Several business men, employers of
ing and they agreed that not for many
years, IL ever in the history of Dan
Vile, has il been so difficult to secure
hands as at the present time. Each in
turn related his experience in al eff
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 and that not a
man nor boy who is able and will.
ing to work need suffer for want of
employment. 1t is fact that our
lines are seriously handicapped by the
want of working men.
Prosperity il 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
work inRmen here there would be no
houses in which TO domiCile their
families. There are practically no
dwellings for rent in Dsnville. 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 oondi
tions is most gratifying especially at
the present, standing as we do on 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.
