Narrow Escape.

Isaac Forred, an employe of the Read

it was he received shocking cash on
the head, which severed two arteries
and necessitated the insertion of near
ly dozen stitches.
Mr.. Forred was assisting the brick
layers in the repairing of furnaces.
The accident occurred while removing
one of the furnace doors, which are
raised and lowered by a heavy iron
lever. Instead of using a fork" de-
signed for detatching the door pud
die bar, which stood convenient, was
brought into requisition. The latter
did not answer the purpose very we'll
and the result was that the bar, to
which was attached weight of
seventy-fve pounds, fell, striking Mr..
Forred on the right side of the head
with stunning force. The man was
completely knocked out for the time
being, while the flow of blood was

George Strausler another employe,

him OH the shoulder. Mr.. Strausler

reds skull.
EMF. Forred was taken to the office
of DR.. Paules, where it was discovered
that two arteries were severed, which
caused the copious bleeding. The ply
sician had considerable difficulty in
stopping the flow of blood, after which
he stitched the large scalp wound and
the man was taken to his home on
Slider hill.

Free Notice Graft.

Newspapers are constantly importun-
ed to print free notices for this, that
and the other thing, and when the pub
fishers call halt the "old subscrib-
er," the constant reader, and "an
old admirer, very often become huffy
and condemn the publications for be-
ing stingy and without charitable
spirit.
Asking newspaper for free readers
is the same thing as newspaper man
going into a clothing store and after
buying a suit of clothes asking the
clothier to throw in a vest or hat free
because the reporter bought suit. 1t
is identical, yet many fail to see it in
the same light.
Those who seek free notices never
stop to think that the publisher has to
pay printer for putting the notice in
type, that the ink costs so much, that
the paper costs so much, that to serve
and carry the paper costs so much, the
gas used, the wear on the machinery,
and everything costs, which the pub
Usher must pay, yet these free notice
grafters' feel sighted if they are not
accommodated

The Word "DoIIar,D

According to one authority, the word
dollar" Is n corruption Of the German
word "thaler," the form In Dutch be-
ing "daalder." All these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai, q
Bohemian town, where the Count Of
Schlick, A. d. 1918, coined some excel
lent pieces In silver Of an ounce in
weight. From the name of the town
came Joachim's thaler, applied to the
above named coins as well as that of
Schlicken thaler; hence Joachim's thai
er pieces were first contracted into
Joachim's thalers and then into thai
ers These coins gained such a reputa-
ton that they became a pattern, SO
that others of the same kind, though
made in other places, took the name,
the word assuming different spelling
through the Low Countries, reaching
Spain as dollars and through its prov
inces transmitted to the western hemi-
sphere, where 1t was applied to coins
prior to the adoption of the federal cur
rency. In coinage, the word dollar is
a favorite, being found under various
spellings in almost every part of the
globe

c. c. Carpenter Resigns.

Charles @. Carpenter, physical di-
rector at the Y. NJ. O. A. for the past
four years, has rendered his resigna-
tion to the board of directors to take
effect on June 1st.
The surprise and regret that the
news of Mr.. Carpenters resignati on
will cause among his many friends in
Danville will be intermingled with
delight and congratulations when it is
told that the engagement of Miss Jes-
sic r. Kramer to Mr.. Carpenter has
been announced. The young couple
will be married ON Wednesday, the
23rd of this month.
Mr. Carpenter has decided only re-
Gently to take the step of severing his
connections with the Danville Y. M.
@. A. He has under consideration sew
eral business propositions, to one of
which he will devote himself in the
future. just at present, however, he
has not fully decided where he will go.
Mr.. Carpenter came to Danville near
ly four years ago from Reading, his
home town, to take charge of the ply
scal culture department of the Dan
Vile Y. M. @. A. His talents in this
line are most marked and he i'm
mediately achieved success in his
work, which time has only served to
augment. His relations with the board
of directors and with the men and boys
in his classes have been most pleasant
and of great profit to the latter.
Mr.. Carpenter, with the true spirit
of the amateur physical culturist did
not confine his attention to indoor
work. but judiciously directed the at
tention of his pupils to the interesting
out-of door sports during the open sea-
sons. The devotees of base bali, tennis
and the other games are indebted to
Mr.. Carpenter for many fine time
and good battle, fairly waged.

A Settlement Is Effected.

The injunction cases of M. Il. Gulick
and others against the Danville and
Sunbury Street Railway company, dis
solved by Judge Savidge last summer,
and appealed to the supreme court,
have been amicably settled between
the parties. The two cases were to
have been argued before the supreme
court next week.
For some time past there has been a
disposition to settle but some difficulty
was experienced in getting together
and it was not until yesterday that an
agreement was finally reached. This
removes the last obstacle to the full
right of way between Danville and
Sunbury.
1t is hoped that the company's trou-
bles are now about over and that it
will be enabled to proceed with the
building of the road at an early date.

WILLIE RENNER
HELD FOR COURT

Eleven year old William Renner,
who broke into the department store
of S. Lowenstein q company Sunday
afternoon, was arraigned before Just
ice of the Peace William V. Oglesby
Monday morning at 10 80 o'clock. He
was held for court and in default of
one hundred dollars bail was handed
over to the custody of the sheriff.
Information was lodged by Samuel
Lowenstein, which set forth THAT
William Renner, on the 18th. day of
May, 1906, at p. M. did enter the
store of Samuel Lowenstein d COM
pany with intent to commit a fell
ony.'
The youthful defendant was in the
best of spirits at the hearing. He said
that he had good bed at the Jail and
had had a good breakfast. Sheriff
Maiers stated that the little fellow
slept soundly all night. The proceed
ings before the justice seemed to amuse
the boy very much. ssHe showed the
keenest interest as the evidence began
to accumulate against him and here
! and there vouchsafed explanations to
clear up points that seemed obscure to
the officers. How he got into the
money drawer, which opens with a
W
puzzled Joseph Lowenstein. The boy
quickly informed the justice that he
had no trouble at all-that he just put
his hand underneath and the drawer
came open.
1t is hardly likely that the boy fully
realizes the enormity of his offence.
He seemed to think that his bold prank
at the department store was some thing
smart, and he talked freely of other
escapades that he had been in. 1t has
been known for some time that there
has been good deal of petty thievine
| going on about town and nuisance OF
various sorts committed that are to be
attributed to boys. While not shield.
ing himself young Renner told al
about the pilfering and other over facts
showing conclusively, as has been sus
pected, that there is star performer
among the Juveniles of which such a.
Willie Renner is only pupil.
Justice Oglesby fixed the bail at one
hundred dollars, but as no bondsmar
was produced there seemed to be NJ
other alternative than to remand the
boy to the custody of the sheriff. The
little fellow had no particular objec
tion to going back to Jail, but he seem
ed to have an idea that he ought to g
to reformatory or protectorate. HI
was pleased with the prospects of /,
trip and thought he ought to start a
once. He was not altogether ignoran
of what such step implied and HI
had the limit of ten years fixed in hi
mind.
