MOONLIGHT SCHEDULE
IS ABOLISHED

Hereafter the borough Is to have
more light. that is, light a little earlier
iu the evening and a little later in the
morning and light at all times in the
night regardless of whether the moon
is shining or not. Orders TO the above
effect were delivered at the light plant
Saturday in response to prolonged and
general complaint from citizens.
Heretofore the employees have been
following general directions from the
c0ucilmauic committee on light, which
were shaped 10 effect a cutting down
OF expenses at the light plant. In mat
ters of starting up and shutting down
the men al the plant We're governed
largely by their own judgment
II is claimed, however, that their
standards were at fault and that the
light at evening was turned on too
late At morning there was also COM
plaint and people could not see how
the mere bagatellc that was saved by
shutting down so early was any recon-
peuse for the Inconvenience that was
endured by working people who are
obliged to leave their homes before it
is light
As is well known during moonlight
nights the plant has been shut down.
This was permitted by council, as it
contributed to the general reduction
of cost. During winter when there is
NO foliage on the trees the moon, when
about full, does very well, but during
summer, when the leaves shut out the
moon beams, the streets need electric
light to make them safe and passable,
whether the moon is full or not The
moonlight schedule caused a good deal
Of complaint
In order to satisfy the public coun-
eli decided to give the employees at
the light plant new rules for their
guidance. There will be no more moon
light schedule; the plant will run ev-
cry night; it viii start up earlier each
evening and furnish light in the morn
ing until the day has fully dawned.

Struck by Pennsy Passenger.

Daniel Kiehlo of Lewisburg, was
struck by a Pennsylvania passenger
train at Bluff. between South Danyille
and Catawi sa, Friday morning and
although not seriously injured, it is
mystery to the railroad men how he
escaped death
Kiehle had been riding on freight
that was on the Bluff siding, waiting
for the l0:l1 pa--enger train to 90 by.
While the frci2 IT was on the siding
Kiehle alighted, and laid down with
his head near the main track to take "A
nap. lie fell asleep and did not hear
the passenger train approaching.
Neither did the engineer see the man
until the locomotive was almost upon
the man.
The train struck Kiehle going at
full speed and whirled him away from
the track. He was picked up uuconsc-
ious and taken to Catawissa where DR.
Marion Vastine dressed his injuries,
consisting of a severe scalp wound that
required > stitches, bad bruises about
the chest and other cuts and bruises
all over his body. Later he was re
moved-to his home at Lewisburg.

WiIILook for san Jose Scale.

\. W Stephens, orchard inspector
for the State department of zoology,
arrived in this city Monday, and viii
begin at once a tour of inspection of
the orchards Of Montour county that
Will occupy at least two months, and
which viii pave the way for a series
of demonstrations that the department
will make throughout the county in
the fall
Mr.. Stephens work i'll Montour Will
consist solely in inspections. He will
try, as nearly as it is possible to do
so, to reach every orchard in the coun-
ty. looking especially for San Jose
scale. which it viii be remembered
Mr.. Brinkerhof, a former representa-
tive Of the department, found to be
quite prevalent in this section.
Wherever Mr.. Stephens finds the
San Jose scale or any other conditions
that are detrimental to the trees he
will advise the owner what is best to
do under the circumstances, at the same
time taking notes for report to the
State department. In the fall, when
the leaves are Off the trees, the de
monstratiou-, which viii be based ON
the information obtained from Mr..
stephens inspections, will be held
throughout the county.
As Mr.. Stephens goes about through
the county he will take applications
for inspections to take place in the
fall, the inspections, however, not to
be less than four miles apart.

DUST ARRESTERS
PROVE A SUCCESS

Glassford's S patent dust arrester in
stalled in the cleaning room of the
Stove Works couple of weeks ago is
now in operation ana is giving com
plete satisfaction. Under natural con
ditiOns the cleaning department of
such a plant is one of the dirtiest and
most disagreeable places Imaginable,
the dust being 50 dense as to almost
conceal the workmen. 1t is something
OF a revelation therefore, to enter the
cleaning room at present and to find
the air pure and as free from dust as
the atmosphere outside the building,
even though the machines, ten in num-
Der, are all in operation.
1t has not been long since dust ar
resters of another and simpler pattern,
were installed in the polishing room
of the stove works. where previously
conditions We're quite as bad as in the
cleaning department, the dust from
the emery wheels proving especially
injurious to the workmen. Under pre-
sent conditions polishing is by no
means unpleasant work and there is
nothing about it detrimental to the
health
The stove works in the matter of
equipment is now thoroughly modern
and in the front ranks. Among other
improvements recently installed is a
trolley system in the foundry for
the purpose of conveying the molten
iron from the cupola to the moulds.
The heavy ladies of hot iron, which
We're formerly lugged about by the
wOrkmen are now attached to the over
head trolley and thus suspended, with
little effort are conveyed to the re-
motest part OF the foundry.
The Danville Stove and Manufacture
ing company may be relied upon to
keep thoroughly abreast with the times
and each year to bring something new
in the line of stoves. The company is
now working on the patterns of a new
Queen Beaver range, which will be the
next surprise offered the public. The
Queen Beaver in its old dress was i'm
mensely popular and had a big sale.
As remodeled and redressed it will
bear little resemblance to the old stove
of that name. 1t will be emi-plain
with lift-otf nickel, the same as the
Famous" and Imperial Beaver, )"
placed upon the market during the
last year or so.
1t is due to the Danville stove and
manufacturing company to state that
it was the first of the stove manufact-
uring firms of the East to adopt the
lift-off nickel The success met with
in the sale of the "Imperial' and
Famous Beavers attests to the popu-
larity of that method of dressing stoves
and the "lift-off" nickel is now near
ly everywhere in vogue.

VACATION TINE.

Summer IS here with all its glory
and beauty. The hours of light are at
their longest, and now is the time when
tile vacation period may be best en-
ioyed. The vacation season is at its
height, and at train time at the depots,
one can see friends and neighbors with
gripsack and trunk ready for a trip to
seashore, lake, mountain or country.
The large majority Of people do not
have summer homes and cottages or go
away for "a long period, and ten DAYS
OF TWO weeks or even a less time can
be spared from their work or business.
The value of the vacation time is
measured by necessity in these later
days What formerly was looked upon
as a privilege and recreation now is
considered indispensable to the we'll

TWO OPERATIONS
AT EXCHANGE

rwo critical operations were per
formed at Exchange Friday, both
by Dr. Mutt of WiLiamsport. In each
c1se the patient was lad Of ten years.
PIECES OF BONE REMOVED
Wilmer Yeagel, son of @. j. Yeagel,
was operated on, and several pieces of
bone removed from his head. that were
bearing on the brain, causing partial
paralysis.
Young Yeagel, two years ago was
shot in the head DR.. Mutt at that time
operated, but the boy never fully re
covered. He seemed entirely well ex-
cept that one arm was partially para
lyzed Almost a month ago he grew
worse; he would be i'll several days
and then better, this condition con-
tinuing until an operation was decid-
ed upon.
One of the pieces Of bone removed
was an inch and a half long, another
was somewhat smaller, beside a num-
htf OF SpllnIelS.
The lad stood the operation well and
his full recovery is anticipated.
scRAPE0 BONE IN FOOT
Lloyd Ellis, son of Mrs. Anne Ellis,
about a month ago. stepped on a rusty
nail Medical attention was given the
wound at the time, but the lad never
fully recovered. Lately the foot has
been getting worse.
On Friday Dr. Mutt reopened the
wound, scraped the bone and remov-
ed some Of proud flesh.
Drs Hoffman and Mutfley, of Tur-
botville, assisted DR.. Mutt at both OPP
crations.

New Railroad Line.

The Northern Central Connecting,
Railroad company subsidiary to the
Northern Central Railroad company,
has under consideration the construc-
tion of a double track freight line
from Viaduct, at the west end of the
Rockville bridge, to a point near North
umberland, a distance of about fifty
miles Plans for the construction work
are being drafted, although the work
has not been approved by the directors.
The purpose of the line is to relieve
the greatly congested condition of the
railroad at the Enola yards and facil
itate the handling of freight to and
from the great lakes from the territory
south and east Of Harrisburg on the
Northern Central Railway and the
Pennsylvania. The line will occupy a
part of the road bed of the old Penn
sylvania canal. 1t is the purpose of
the management to establish an i'm
mense freight yard south of Northum
berland.

TOO MANY CANDIDATES.

The United Mine Workers of the
first legislative district of Schuylkill
county held a meeting the other day,
the intention Of which was to suggest
legislative candidates for both the De-
mocratic and Republican primaries.
After some discussion, however, it was
discovered that there were so many
aspirants and the delegates were so
divided in sentiment that the best way
out of the difficulty was to do nothing.
So the convention adopted a resolution
to the effect that all the aspirants
should register and take their chances
at their respective party primaries. A
very sensible conclusion.

SUPERVISORS
VISIT OUNBURY

From indications it does not seem
unlikely that the present season Will
pass away before any work is done on
the approach at the south side of the
river bridge More than a year has
elapsed since the completion of the
bridge, during which time traffic has
been obliged to accommodate itself to
a mere makcshift i'm the form of an
approach It is unfortunate indeed
that after so much trial and at this
late day no relief is in sight.
Ia the hope Of accomplishing some
thing tangible relating to the approach
P. G. Baylor and Oliver Hoover of the
board of township supervisors paid a
visit to Sunbury few days ago and
met the county commissioners. The
meeting was barren Of practical re-
suits. The commissioners merely re
affirmed their position, which they
fully explained on the occasion of
their visit to South DanvIlle in com
pauy with Judge Savidge last spring.
The commissioners Of Northumber-
land county declare themselves ready
at any time to proceed with the CON
struction of the retaining wall on the
upper side, but the lower wall beyond
the fourteen feet that both counties
are Jointly responsible for, they Will
have nothing to DO with. The build
ing of the wall on the lower side, they
aver, devolves upon Gearhart town
ship or upon the Danville and Sun
bury street railroad company, whose
track lies on the lower side of the ap-
proach
While probably none of the residents
of Gearnart township favor the view
that the township should build the
lower retaining wall, yet not a few Of
them in common with tax payers
throughout the county take the view
that the trolley company should bear
the expense. Thus the county commits
sioners find themselves pretty well
sustained in their opposition to the
county's building the lower wall and
they are by no means disposed to re-
cede. At the same time until the troll
ley company organizes and resumes
building it Will be useless to look for
any cooperation on its part thus any
