4 FIFTY Minute
SCHEDULE

BEGINNING with November lst or as
soon after as possible the Danville aud
bloomsbury Electric Railway will en-
ter upon q fifty minute schedule in
stead of the forty minute schedule, on
which the oars have been running un-
til the present time. The schedule in
the form Of a folder convenient for
distribution, Is in process of printing
and will soon be ready for nse.
As implied by the schedule car
will leave Danville aud Bloomsbury
every fifty minutes during the day.
The schedule also shows the exact
time at which the car on each trip is
due to arrive at the intermediate sta
tions as the Cemetery. Paules' Turn
Out, Yorks', Grovania. Diemer's,
Mensch's Turn Out and Fishing Greek
Bridge.
The forty minute schedule makes
the time of arriving and departure OF
the cars very easy to remember. but
the period of forty minutes after a
years experience ia found impractic-
able under all but the most extreme
circumstances Between the Cemetery
and Mill street the amount of traffic
and consequently the number Of stops
required is wholly an unknown quaint
ity and is just as likely as not to de-
lay the cars so that they come in late.
The result is that the forty minute
schedule stands for very little indeed
and persons arriving at the stopping
places, even when late, are at loss to
know whether the car has just passed
orsis merely delayed and thus are in
duoed to risk great loss of time to
say nothing of the discomfort or an
noyanoe OF waiting. which is nearly
always a factor.
The additional ten minutes, allow
ing for the maximum of stops " Ill
make it easy for the cars to reach eao b
stopping place on the minute aud the
management will see to it that the
cars do not arrive at nor leave either
Danville or Bloomsbury until the ex.
act time set forth Oh the printed sched
ule, which will be distributed among
the public who patronize the line. 1t
will thus be seen that the public will
be put to no Inconvenience whatever,
but will be wholly the gamers by the
change.
The Danville and Bloomsbury Com
pany has now removed It's summer cars
for the season and is using the CLOSED
cars, which are heated during morn
Ing and evening.

Plans for the enlargement and re.

The structure as it is at present il

No definite plans for the work have
yet been adopted but committee con.
sisting of President Judge Savidge,
Associate Judge Auten, Hon. w. H.
NJ. Dram, of Shamokin, and other
prominent attorneys and officials of
the county has been selected to max e
Investigations along this line. The
Lycoming county court house at Will
Transport, which is structure much
the same as the Northum berland coun-
ty court house, was recently greatly
improved by the erection of an L shape
addition in the rear. The com littee
in the near future will visit Williams
port and view the work there with a
view of doing the same at Sunbuly.
There being plenty of ground space
in the rear of the Northumberland
county tribunal an addition could be
easily built and this would afford the
enlargement of the second trial room
and down stair offices.

IN RAINCOAT
AND PAJAMAS

LITTLE ROCK. Ark Oct. 25.-
President Roosevelt made his first ap.
pearance in Arkansas at Carlisle, clad
mainly in raincoat. A large crowd
of people and steady downpour of
rain greeted him. 1t was the first rain
he had encountered on his present trip
but it neither dampened the srdor of
the crowd at Carlisle, nor chilled his
own spirits. He was dressing wien the
little town was reached, and at first
did not intend to go out GU the plat
form for there was no stop schedule
there. But the country folk for miles
around knew the train of the presi.
dent would stop there for water and
sent an urgent message TO Secretary
Loeb, asking that they be given an
opportunity of hearing the executive.
In some unaccountable manner the
telegram did not reach the secretary
until after the president lad retired
for the night, after hard night in
Alabama and Mr.. Loeb did not feel
justified in waking him. AS the train
stopped at Carlisle the crowd let loose
a chorus of cheers, a whistle some-
where in the ghborhood set up an
awful soreeching and the president
had no lingering doubt that large
portion of his constituency was de-
manding his presence. He sent for
Secretary Loeb and asked him the
name of the town and the cause of the
unscheduled demonstration.
They are expecting to see you, Mr..
President" replied Mr.. Loeb, then
explained the situation.
but I'm not dressed. I'm not fit
to be seen. can't appear in psjamas,
exclaimed the president.
"Why not put ON rain coat?" ask
ed the secretary.
So the president did and made the
Carlisleites little speech from the
platform of the Signet.
Just before the train left Birming.
ham last night Secretary Loeb and
local detective had an argument which
resulted in the sleuths discontinue.
The detective rushed up to the presi-
dents carriage in the gloom and the
secretary warned him away.
"Pm secret service man." cried
the stranger.
II don't care who you are." replied
the secretary. "You must not get too
near the president.
The man advanced in spite of warn
ing and received staggering blow
from the secretary's fist. He made
a. -misdirected kick at the secretary's
shins which struck nothing more solid
than the atmosphere, then fell back
into the crowd uttering maledictions.
The presidents train reached Fort
Root at 8 o'clock.
The county candidates are on the
Jump.

AETBR THIRTY YEARS
OF SEPARATION

A romance of married life would be
an appropriate title for the story of
ths>reuniting of Mr.. and Mrs. Sanford
PeRg. the former a Bloomsbury Ell
thirty years ago, and the latter long.
time resident of that town. who were
reunited last week after a thirty years
separ alton, and are now living togeth-
er at Scranton.
Thirty years ago Mr.. Pegg. who was
we'll known in Bloomsbury and liked
by all suddenly deserted his wife,
seemingly without any excuse what
| ever. At that time he was employed
as gardener by the late David J. Wal
ler. His home life was ideal aud the
greatest surprise was felt at the time
by all who knew him that he haG so
| conducted himself He went to Scran-
ton and took up position as coach.
man where, it is said, he has since
been employed.
During all these years in which his
family have reached the years of ma
| turity aud his wife and himself have
passed into the ripper years of their
life, nothing was heard from him.
During the summer, il is understood,
he returned to Bloomsbury for brief
visit, coming as one from the dead. 1t
was only the older generation of town
who remembered him.
He returned to bloomsbury last
week again; visited his wife and the
two decided to live together as man
and wife, Mr.. Pegg returning to Scran
ton where ne is employed and where
they will make their home from this
time. The years have dealt kindly
with both of them and it is possible
that the thread of their married life,
broken thirty years ago. will be united
for many years to come.

minor MATTERS
on INTEREST

a real curiosity is on exhibition at
Garrison's store, Grovania, in the
shape of two good sized pumpkins,
which are grown together much after
the fashion of the Sismese twins. Both
are perfectly formed and are separate
and distinct with the exception of a
space some three inches square where
the contact OCCURS. The twin pump.
kins we're raised on the farm of George
Mowrer.
Another curiosity shown at MIR.
Garrison's store is a red beet which
has attained an abnormal size. weigh
ing IA pounds and ounces. The lat
ter was raised on Mr.. Garrison's lot
by John Welliver.
Joseph Keely has had a flag stone
pavement put down in front of his
property on West Mahoning street. L.
l.. Evans Sons did the work. Joseph
Snyder is having a concrete pavement
laid in front of his dwelling ON Grand
street. o. b. Sweitzer has the con-
tract. All such improvements are to
be commended, as it is a fact much to
be deplored that on many of the less
important streets of town good pave
ments are rather the exception than
the rule and walking ont after dark is
a rather hazardous undertaking.
1t is pretty evident that Danvile is
going to have its full share OF foot
ball this fall. By today or tomorrow
bills will be posted Announcing game
at DeWitt's Park, Saturday between
the Ex.High School Team and the
East End Athletic Club of Mt. Car
mel. team of players recognized as
the Champions of the Goal Region.
1t will probably be the most import.
ant foot ball event of the season.
The School Board has not asyet sue.
ceeded in securing substitute for the
Third Ward Principalship. nor per-
manent teacher to fill the vacancy ex-
listing in the primary school of the
Fourth Ward. All of which goes to
show that in teaching as well as along
other lines of activity during these
prosperous times there are rather less
applicants than there are positions to
be filled.

Our local huntsmen still continue to
try their luck. but it seems to be the
same old thing-an empty game bag
or one only partially filed. The gen.
eral scarcity of game is attributed to
the depredstions of foxes and hawks.
On the game preserves during the
coming winter. therefore, attention
will be turned to getting rid of the
foxes.
