First Used in England.

The first rural delivery route was
started in 1897, under President Nc
Kinley, as au experiment. The ire.
mendous success of the method has been
unexampied. However, 1t must not be
assumed that this is Yankee inven-
tion. 1t has been used in European
countries for many years, and In Great
Britain it has been extended that there
is hardly district so remote that the
carrier does not visit 1t at least once a
day. The system was established in
the British Isles long before it was
begun in the United States.
In its first year in the United States
forty four rural mail routes were es.
tablished, at cost Of $40, 900. The en-
ormous success of the method is shown
by the fact that for the fiscal year end.
ed June 80, 1904, nearly thirty million
dollars were paid out on rural free de-
livery account. For the fiscal year up.
on which we have now entered, $780,
SIG. 600 have been appropriated for the
continuance and extension of the rural
mail service. There were "a 1855 rural
routes in existence at the end of the
fiscal year on June 30 last; 9,446 new
routes have been put into operation
during the fiscal year. On October /,
1904, there were 27.1S5 routes establish.
ed. and the service was being extended
at the rate of about 800 a month.

NEARLY READY
TO ORGANIZE

Matters incidental to the formation
of the Medical Protective Association
by the Montour County Medical So
ciety, are progressing. Nearly every
thing is in shape for organization, the
committee having its work about com
pleted and its plans formulated. With
the view of organizing the physicians
will meet in q short time.
The move to organize Medical Pro-
tective Association in this county has
stirred up the physicians in other ooun-
ties in the state. and they have decid.
ed to act too and protect themselves
against dead beats by forming similar
associations. With that object In view
they have written frequent letters to
the local physicians, requesting in
struotions and advice in the matter.
In the face of all this comes the in.
formation of a more gigantic move by
physicians. The American Medical
Association has q bill introduced, in
Congress asking for a cha rter. in order
that it may become chartered organ
ization and be under the protection of
the laws of the United States. Con-
sequently dead beats will soon find
hard travelling all over Uncle Sam 8
domain, and the service of physician
di tficult to procure.

Experiencing Great Trouble.

The r. +. ID. mail carriers have ex
perienced nearly as much trouble this
week in covering their routes as they
did the day after the late blizzard.
Many of the public roads have been in
an impassable condition. Supervisors
of the several townships have done
very little toward opening the thorough
fares. Portions of the immense snow
drifts which blockaded the highways
and obstruoted traffic of all kinds,
have received little attention. The su-
pervisors in several of the townships
are derelict in their duties, and the
farmers in that section are oensured for
not compelling them to go to work and
open the roads.
The farmers expect their letters and
newspapers to reach them promptly,
but many OF them make little effort in
providing a way for the mail carriers
to reach them. And in not doing so
they are breaking portion of the
agreement they made, when petition
ing the government to establish the
present rural delivery routes. They
agreed to aid In keeping the roads open
and they are not doing it, frequently
they have stood on their door steps
since the storm, and watched the car
riers breaking path through the snow
in order to reach their homes to deliv-
or mail. But they made no attemDt
to aid Uncle Sans representatives in
the discharge of their duties. They
want their mail. but they care very
little what difficulties the carrier has
to contend with to get it to them.
Its up to these farmers now to take
some steps toward compelling their
Supervisors to open the roads for the
mail carriers. If they do not the
government may take the matter in
hand. and then something will be done
and that quickly.

Will Not be Tolerated.

Saturday evening, the Danville and
Bloomsbury trolley company did q
rushing business. Oars In both direo.
tions were crowded. Everything went
smoothly until the last car was en-
route from Bloomsbury to Danville,
then disturbance took place.
Between Bloomsbury and Grovania
an alteration was started between
some of the passengers that threatened
to cause trouble right there, but II
soon quieted down. After passing the
latter place, however. the disturbance
was renewed, and for a while matters
looked serious to the peacefully dis
posed passengers on the car. Loud,
boisterous language was indulged in
and only the prompt action of cooler
heads prevented general riot and,
doubtless, some broken heads, in which
the innocent, likely, would have had
to suffer with the guilty.
The company is determined that Sat.
uIday nights disturbance shall not be
repeated. 1t will not tolerate any such
actions. A corps of officers will be in
waiting to nab the violators when the
car stops. Whether that will occur at
Danville or Bloomsbury will depend
upon which way the car is going when
the trouble occurs. "A word to the
wise should be sufficient

WOMEN HELP
DESERVING POOR

Since the reorganization of tile We
mans Benevolent Association about a
month ago the members of the society
have been laboring with zeal that is
most commendable. But notwithstand-
ing the energy and determination with
which the women enter into the work,
they are so greatly hinderedI by lac k
of funds that the results obtained are
very discouraging.
The requests from deserving and
needy persous, mostly widows with
large families, have been numerous,
but the society has been unable to sup
ply the wants of many because Of a
lack of funds. Goal, provisions and
clothing are the articles most sought
after.
The collection at the Union Thanks
giving service, which is always given
to the Association, amounted this year
to $14. 20. No other contributions have
been received. With these small re.
sources the women have carried on the
work Of relieving the sufferings of the
deserving poor. This money has now
been exhausted, aud the society is with
out any funds whatever to carry on
the work.
The women of the Association ask
the people of Danville for Contribu-
tions to the good cause in which they
are working. 1t is only at this one
time in each year that they request
aid. In mid winter they ask you to
give from your plenty,a mite to cheer
the lives of those who have not even
the bare necessities of existence.

Few Cases of Truancy.

There does not appear to be much
complaint about truancy in this city,
yet there are some heads of families
who are not as regsrdful of the oom.
pulsory school law as they should be.
or as the welfare OF their children
would require. They are not suffloi.
emily insistent upon regular attend
ance. Parents are responsible for the
appearance of their children at school.
The penalty for dereliotion In this
matter, under the law, is fine and i'm
prisonment, but even a law officer does
not care to see 1t inflicted upon par
ents, though they may be culpably
negligent of most important duty.
Instead Of punishment the gentler mea-
sure of persuasion is commonly resort
ed to, but when that fails more heroic
measures may be adopted. It ia un-
fortunate if this is necessary, for 1t
means trouble to the delinquents and
exposure in the newspapers when such
cases are ventilated.
The State wants every one Of its
children to receive an education. That
is why it has passed school laws, and
made provisions to enforce the attend.
ance of pupils. Right thinking par
ents are anxious that their offspring
should be well educated, and they even
make sacrifices, if necessary, to bring
that about. Surely, when an education
is offered to every child in the COM
munity. without money and without
price, it is the bounden duty of all
parents to see that such opportunities
shall not be thrown away.

A Generous Theft.

As the result of the fire at the Gill
lsspy House Sunday morning, the pro.
prietor, J. v. Gillaspy, sustained a
heavy loss other than that caused by
the blaze in the toilet room. He was
made the victim of member Of that
class of the light fingered craft known
as generous thieves-those who steal
part and leave the remainder to ward
off suspicion that anything has been
taken.
When called down stairs to open
the doors so entrance could bs
gained to the apartment in which the
fire was located, Sunday morning. Mr..
Gillaspy was In his room changing his
clothes. After he received the start
ling summons, he was obliged to draw
on few extra garments before he
could respond to the alarm. This he
did hurriedly and started from the
room. leaving on stand a pocket
book containing sl60. The money was
in two rolls, each in separate apart,
ments OF the purse. One contained 500
and the other $50. The purse was part.
ly open leaving the latter roll exposed
to any one entering the room, but the
larger sum was SO concealed as to be
invisible even after close examina.
tion of the smaller one.
When the fire had been extinguish.
ed. Mr.. Gillaspy returned to his loom
to complete his toilet. The pocketbook
was still Oh the stand, apparently IN
the same position he had placed it and
showing no Indications of having been
tsmpered with Having no suspicion
that a robbery had occurred, he put the
purse in his pocket without examining
it. He had no occasion to use any OF
the money the pooketbook contained
until Monday afternoon, then he dis
covered that some of it was missing.

would have added few more dollars

No Trace of Johnson.

viction is growing firmer that Charles
johnson. the Catawissisn who so mys-
teriously disappeared while on his way
home from Bloomsbury to Catawissa
before Christmas, has met with ac-
cidental death or was the victim of
foul play.
johnson has a number of relatives
throughout the country, including a
number in the west, aud to zach rela-
tive to whose home it was thought he
might possibly have gone letters ex-
planning his disappearance were sent,
but the answer from all was to the
effect that they had seen nothing of
him, but that if he did turn up the
family would at once be informed.
