Danville Wins Fast Game.

The Montour Basket Ball AssocIa-
tion FIVE was pitted against strong
aggregation-the Mt Carmel team-at
the Armory Tuesday, and "a fast and
furious game was the result. The DAN
Vile boys, however. were too clever at
tossing for the visitors, and won out
by a score of 33 to IA.
The teams were very evenly match
ed in everything but basket throwing
ability, and in this the locals we're far
in the lead. Welliver with I baskets
and Russell with 8, led the field, toss
ing them from seemingly impossible
positions. The Mt. Carmel five ex-
hibited some very clever team work,
their quick passing being especially
noticeable. They played hard and
clever, although losing game.
A great deal of unnecessary rough
ness pervaded the game. thirteen fouls
being called during the contest. Both
sides were the offenders.
Jack knoblaugh, the Mt. Carmel
center. outshone the rest OF the visit
ing team both in his fast offensive and
defensive work. and in his basket
throwing. For Danville, Frank Rus
sell at guard did the best all around
playing, not only preventing his op-
ponent forward from scoring, but max :

DIR. Curry Injuries Foot.

DR.. E. A. Curry is suffering from
the effects of painful wound on his
foot sustained yesterday afternoon in
very odd manner.
The physician had stepped into the
rear of Hunts drug store and was
standing by the stove. Some one at
tempted to open the stove door, when
the latter fell off the hinges and drop
ping to the floor struck the top Of Dr.
Curry foot. The sharp corner of the
iron door pierced the leather and the
stocking right on top of the joint of
the great toe, producing very pain
fol wound.
He is just recovering from the ef-
fects of bad carbunole on his right
hand, so that with the sore foot added
he finds it inconvenient TO move about
although he still manages to look af-
ter his patients.

A Psalm of Farm Life.

The following timely parody wa
handed in at the American office by.
Danville man with the request that
be published. He had just done hi
Saturdays marketing:
Tell me not in broken measures
Modern farming does not pay,
For the farm produces chickens,
And the hens--do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast;
Every time we go to market
1t is higher than the last.
Not coop but it produces
Every day an egg or two;
So each farmer gains his millions.
Even though his hens be few.
Every egg is verv precious,
And the hens are held in awe:
When hen begins to cackle,
Then the farmer goes Haw, haw y
In the broad aud busy farmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiSkered farmer
Only notices the hen.
Trust no rooster, howe'er snowy
Be the feathers in his tail;
Pay attention to the biddies,
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives of farmers all remind Us
We may roll in wealth some day.
If we hustle to the market
With the eggs our pullets lay.

New Money Order Adopted.

The post office department at Wash
ington, has adopted new and i'm
proved form of money order, which
will be sent TO the different post Off
ces throughout the country as soon as
the present supply of the old orders is
exhausted.
This fills long felt want of the
postal department and will check all
further raising and forging of money
orders by crooked people. Special in
terest is attached to the new form and
that is in the fact that it cannot be
raised more than 81 80. and that would
be difficult matter for even the most
expert forger to perform.
The post Office at Dsnvllle has
enough of the old orders on hand to
last for several months, and the new
ones will, therefore, not make their
appearance until this supply has been
used

May Install GasoIene Cars.

There is probability that an en-.
tirely new feature IN street railways
may be introduced in this vicinity
when the Bloomsbury aud MIllville
line, now in course of construction, is
completed. the officers of the company
having practically decided to equip
their line with gasoline cars.
But little is known of the gasoline
car in this section of the country, but
its utility and the practicability of its
use is known in the West, where the
Union Pacific Railroad uses the cars
in large numbers Each car is equip
ped with a six cylinder gasoline en-
gine developing 100 horsepower, and
Is capable of attaining speed of &C
miles per hour.
The equipment of the Bloomsbury
Millvile line with these cars would
obviate the necessity of a power house
and all overhead construction work,
including wires, poles. etc. which in
itself would be a great induCement in
their favor

Must Have More Air Brake Cars.

The Interstate Commerce Oommis-
sion, at Washington, on Thursday an
nounced its decision in the matter of
the minimum percentage of cars in
trains required to be operated with
power or train brakes. The decision
states that increasing the percentage
of air brakes in trains from so to rs
per cent. would result in an earlier
operation of trains fully equipped with
air brakes and accelerate the removal
from service of the old small capacity
and comparatively useless cars now
not equipped with that appliance. 1t
is ordered that the minimum percent
age of airbraked cars In trains use d in

PANIC CAUSED
BY MAD MAN

Clarence Stuart, son of Fleming

While in this state he procured fire.

lily but the entire neighborhood in a
state of panic with his threats to shoot
anyone who came near him.
1t was with great difficulty that the
attending physicians Drs. ]. NJ. and

No Scarcity of Turkeys.

One thing to be thankful for is the
probability that turkeys will be cheap
er at the approaching Thanksgiving
and Christmas than they were last
year. Reports from different parts of
the country represent these estimable
fowls as being reasonably numerous,
with the prospect of their price being
within reason. The season appears to
have been favorable for their pro-
pagation and rearing. But like all
good things it was not entirely per-
feet. The bugs and grasshoppers
were so numerous, and kept up their
activity in the fields TO so late period
in the season, that the turkeys almost
ran their legs off chasing them, an ex-
ercise that developed their muscles at
the expense of that tenderness and
juiclness which is the delight of cpl
cures when the bird is in the right
condition. But whether tough or ten
der it is relief to know that turkeys
will be more plentiful than last year,
with a corresponding moderation of
the price. year ago they roasted
high at Thanksgiving and at Christ
mas took a still higher limb.

GRANGE BANKS
MAY Be STARTED

John G.. McBenry, of Benton, we'll
known throughout this section OF the
state, is prominently identified with a
movement that promises great interest
and Importance to members of the
Grange. The projeot-which develop
ed at Saturdays meeting, OF the Ma
tional Grange at Atlantic Olty-ls
that of the establishment OF Grange
national bank in every county in Penn
sylvania, with farmers as it's principal
stockholders.
A press dispatch from Atlantic City
says the idea comes in the form of a
carefully prepared report by W. f..
Hill, master OF the Pennsylvania State
Grange. With John G. McHenry, of
Benton, president of the Columbia
County National bank. as the princlp-
al backer, and with members of Po-
mona Grange of Tioga county. as stock
holders aud directors. the idea will be
put into practical shape within few
weeks by the organization OF the
Grange National bank, of Tioga. in
the borough of Tioga The capitaliza-
tion of this first bank has been fixed
at S25, 900 Of this amount, $6, 600 was
50 5scribed by residents of tine borough
and by farmers who live near it. Its
organization will be followed within
few months by the foundation of tit-
teen other grange national banks in as
many counties. Within two years. it
is planned to have one grange nation
al bank in each of the forty-fve coun-
ties of Pennsylvania In which the
grange has a pomona, as the central
county grange is called.
All of these banks will feed and be
fed by the Grange National bank of
Pennsylvania, which will be estab.
lished in Philsdelphia. Organization
of this central institution will be per-
fected after about a dozen of the small
er banks have been established.
''It will give to the farmers the use
of money to finance their own i'm
provements, such as rural telephones. "
said Mr.. Hill in urging the idea. 1T
will make the individual fsrner more
prosperous. and will do wonders to-
ward advancing the welfare of COM
munities. OF course, there must be
wise and conservative administration
of all the affairs of these banks. They
will be independent of each other, but
each will have several men upon the
board of trustees. who will also be
trustees of the other grange banks.
This will assure a uniformly and con-
servatism of action through all. The
amount of capital in each will depend
upon the financial resources Of the dis
trict. Capital outside of the grange
will be accepted. So certain OF sue
cess are we that Mr.. McHenry has
offered to make a written guarantee
to the stockholders of the Grange Ma
tional bank of Tioga, that he will buy
the stock of any holder who wishes to
sell two years after its foundation, at
a substantial increase upon the origin

PENNSY TO HAVE
DOUBLE TRACK

That the SunburY. Hazleton & Will
keS- Barre division of the Pennsylvan-
ia railroad will in the near future be
entirely double track is not dou bted
for moment by anyone who follows
the improvements being made on that
line.
What is known as the Permissive
Block System is now being installed.
This system, i'll which the entire line
is divided up into small sections or
blocks, will allow two or three trains
on the same block at once; but is SO
regulated that when single passen-
ger train occupies the block no other
train can enter thereon until the pas
senger leaves. AS will at once be
seen, this system greatly increases
the traffic facilities of the road, W lille
at the same time affording the great
est protection to travellers.
Another feature of the system is
that when more than one freight
train occupies single block, the en-.
gineer of each train knows the exact
location of each of the other trains.
The S. H. & W. division extends
from Wilkes Barre to Sunbury. and
that the new block system may be
worked most advantageously double
track is required. Along this divis.
ion there IS now series OF sidings
and to connect these, thus making a
double track, would not be a great un-
dertaking. One siding now extends
from Wilkes Barre almost to Retreat,
known as Honeypot siding. More OF
these sidings are being continually ad,
ded and in few years the series will
be complete.
