TO ENLARGE PLANT
EXTENSIVE IMPROVE ENTs
MADE BY DAM MANUFAcT-
URING COMPANY.
New Brick Addition to be 100 Feet In
Length by So Feet in Width More
Room Necessary Because OF De-
mand for New Mowers.

Following the custom that the com
pany has established of annually add
ing new addition to their plant, the
Daln Manufacturing company of this |
city is at present building large |
new structure to provide more room
for their foundry and machine shop.
This new structure is being added to
the northeast wing of the plant now
occupied by the foundry, and when
the work is finished the floor space
for the foundry will have been in
creased 7,4S0 square feet, and the
floor space for the machine shop 3,400
square feet. At present the walls of
the structure are almost completed.
The new structure is to be of
brick. the same width as the wing to
which it is added, or 6S feet, and 100
feet in length. The walls are fire.
proof and the lintells of the windows
are to be steel with cast iron stills,
thus making it fire-proof. The roof Is
to be of the usual felt and gravel.
Also a small brick addition
20 feet by AZ feet is to be built onto
the south side Of the present foun-
dry, which will be occupied by the
core room. The core room has until
now occupied corner in the foundry
and the space thus taken up will be re-
claimed for foundry purposes.
The wall which separates that part
Of the building occupied by the ma
chine shop from the foundry will be
taken out and an iron arch
way constructed. Then new
wall, which will be fire-proof,
will be erected in that part now
occupied by the foundry SO feet from
the end next the machine shop. The
space thus partitioned off will be
added to the machine shop, it being
necessary to increase that department
as the foundry is increased.
Thus space SO by 68 feet will be
added to the machine shop and a
space Of ITO by IS feet to the foundry
| The prime cause demanding the
large increase in the size of the plant
| is the decision of the firm to place
! on an extensive scale, and to do this
| in both the foundry and the machine
shop.
The "Brains Room"
One of the most interesting features
of the plant to the visitor is that small
compartment in the machine shop
which one comes to first as he enters
the shop from the office, known in the
shop parlance as the brains room "
Here all of the new improvements
for the machinery are perfected and
the general experim rental work in the
search for the improvements, carried
on. One of the most recent of the
practical results that come from this
room is a new pair of burrs, the work
of William Parker Of that department
for the Dain double geared feed mill,
which, if the results Of the first test
are borne out In subsequent ones, will
almost double the capacity of the mill.

BY those guests who were present
from Bloomsbury, the reception is
described as a most charming and
brilliant affair. The commodious
house, beautiful floral decorations,
fine music, and delicious refresh
ments, and company made up OF
youth and beauty from many cities,
handsome and richly gowned ma
irons, and distinguished men, all
united to make this occasion one of
the most brilliant social functions in
this section. And over and above
it all, quietly and unostentatiously,
were the skilful management and
entertaining powers of the accom-
plished hostess, Mrs J. c. Biddle.

Time to Look
For Candidates.
Mayor, Six CounCilmen, Two
School Directors, and Audi
tors to be Elected.
Other Offices to be Filled,

The holidays and all the con-
current merriment is past, and 1t
is high time to turn our thoughts
and attention to the municipal cleo
ton which is fast approaching. 1t
is essential at least to begin the
discussion preparatory to the selec-
ton Of proper men to become candi-
dates for the different Offices to be.
filled.
At this election, which will be
held on February 2I, mayor is to
be elected. Both parties should
nominate representative men, with
sufficient intelligence to know their
duties and with the moral courage
to perform them in the interest and
welfare of the town, and if that is
done, it matters not which is elect
ed so far as the town being we'll
governed for the next year. If the
laws and ordinances are to be obey
ed it is necessary to have mayor
who will compel the enforcement
of them, for every town has some
citizens who will very willingly
violate them if it seems to them to
be for their personal gain or mere
qualification of all immoral nature.
This is the year for the election
of town auditors. For these posi-
tions both parties should nominate
men of ability in the way of ac-
countants, and those who are suffi-
ciently familiar with the town s
business, to know how to proceed
in the performance Of their duties.
Six Councilmen are to be elected.
The result of elections in the past
should act as sufficient warning to
both parties, and lead them to a
realization of the necessity of plac-
ing in nomination men who will
give learned and intelligent con-
sideration to all matters entrusted
to them for the best interests and
advancement of the town. There
are plenty of men OF this calibre,
and they can be induced to become
candidates if the right method is
taken and the proper influence is
brought to bear upon them.
There are also to be elected two
school directors. Men who take
an interest in educational matters
and have the right business qualifi.
cations are the kind wanted TO acl
in this capacity. There are always
enough men on hand when there is
a vacancy on the School board il
sight. 1t is invariably case of
the man seeking the Office. while
with some Others, particularly
couucilmen, the Office seeks the
man. The reason of course, is thai
with the latter it is all glory, while
with the former, there is glory anc
some pay.
For the position of assessors, botf
parties should nominate men who

JOHNSON IS
STILL MISSING.
His Disappearance Only Grows
More Mysterious AS
Days Go BY.
HOPE FOR RETURN DYING.

1t is now more than month since
Charles Johnson left his home and
family in Catawissa to come to
Bloomsbury 70 consult physician
in regard to his health, and no It'd
ing of his whereabouts have been
received. Not since he walked out
of DR.. J. S. Johns Office on West
Main street, little after the noon
hour on Saturday, December 10th,
has there been anything heard or
seen of him, and the belief that he
is dead is gaining strength as time
wears on.
Disappearance are not uncom-
mon in this day and generation,
but not often does it occur that a
man vanishes, leaving absolutely
nothing behind by which he can be
traced or located. Several clues
have been taken up and followed
only to end in failure. The picture
of the missing man has been pub
lished in several OF the city dailles
and the circumstance of the strange
case have been detailed to the sur
rounding towns, but all to no avail.
Hope in the family for the mans
return is gradually dying, and each
passing Gay forces upon them the
belief that he has met some terrible
fate. The theory that Johnson fell
off the Rupert bridge and was
drowned is secuted, because the ice
has twice passed away since his
disappearance, and the body woulc
certainly have been found before
this time.

must be made two weeks before the
