The Stevenson-F Farley controversy
in the Republican ranks is only start
ed, but already it has been claimed
and proven that Farley assisted the
Democratic organization in Denver
in the city election Of 1904, that he
made possible Democratic legisla-
ture four years ago, and that he ac-
counted for only one-fourth the slush
fund that was poured into the COM
mittee's treasury in 1904 to re-elect
Peabody. Farley is the man who
delights In posing as the especial
champion Of purity in elections-the
exposer and punisher of election
frauds in all counties except Huer-
fano, Las Animas, Teller and Ell
Paso. The national Republican COM
mitteenan has shown him up pretty
thoroughly In his true light as a
pharisaical fraud.-Lamar Sparks.

The Craig Courier says Democratic
legislative candidates are thick over
there. And why not! A nomination
on the Democratic ticket this fall
will be equivalent to election, as the
Unterrifled will elect every thing from

choose. g. o. P. candidates will not
have the Terrible Teddy to act as
bell-wether in leading half of the

Not For the LaFollettes.

The Sioux City Qowa) Journal, Re-
publican, reproduces several attacks
by Republican editors upon Senator
LaFollette. One of these Republican
editors says: "A man Of LaFollette's
stamp Is out Of place in legislative
halls" Surely tits SO. Places in
legislative halls should be reserved
for the Aldriches, the Depews, the
Platts and the Burtons-men whose
devotion to public interests has made
them leaders of the Republican party.

An Eastern paper says, "Most Re-
publican congressman consider their
greatest achievements of the late ses-
sion to be the pure pork bill' which
makes some Republican constitu-
encies believe they are doing things.'
The Democrats point with pride that
they forced the Republican majority
to vote for rate bill, q pure food bill,
and other remedial legislation that
have for years been the principal
planks In Democratic platforms"

gressional canvass of 1905 may be the
attention which the people Of all
states will give to the record Of the

Professor Patton Delivers Address

Professor III. ID. Patton, candidate
for lieutenant governor on the Prohi-
| bition ticket, addressed rather small
| though very attentive audience in the
| court house last night.
The speaker was introduced by Rev.
Harry Minsker, pastor of the United
Evangelical church. Mr.. Minsker's S
| own remarks were not without point.
In touching upon the drink evil and
the general attitude of church people
toward it, he said he found it difficult
to understand why Religious people
will so bitterly assail other forms of
evil and yet not raise their voices
against the sale and manufacture of
liquor.
Professor Patton is pleasing ana
forceful speaker, who impresses one
with his zeal and earnestness. The sub
ject, although an old one, was present
ed in new phase.
He reviewed the action of the two
great political parties in getting in
line for reform during the last year.
AT present he declared they are unit !;
their platforms are practically identic-
al and there is no issue between the
parties. Either Mr.. Stewart or Mr..
Emery could drop out of the fight and
the followers of the two parties collec-
lively could vote for either of the
leaders and get precisely the same
thing.
At the present, when both candid
ates are committed to reform, the Pro-
hibitionists are asked to come over
and join the "Fusionists " Mr.. Pat
ton discourse had mainly to do with
the question why prohibitionists should
disregard the call and stick to their
standard, The request is, he said
1--WE have great man this year, drop
your party and come and vote with
us. " He asked his audience to con.
slider whether the Fusionists would
return the compliment and the year
following vote with the Prohibitionists
He agreed that the prohibitionstS
stood for the same things rs the Demo
cratic and Republican party. but sale
they stood for n thousand things be
side. He added: "The old partie!
will coax You to destroy your vote, tt
scatter your party and then ridicul,
you when you have done it. "
Music was rendered by the Keystone
male quartette.

Changes OH the Reading.

Within year the Catawissa and
Shamokin divisions of the Reading
railway will be equipped with the Hall
system of block signals, which is the
best method now in use. The Hall
signals are now in use on all parts of
the Reading railroad system except
these two divisions.
Under the new system the move
ments of trains will be governed by a
series of semaphores, operated by elec-
trio currents.
The Catawissa and Shamokin divi-
sions are at present operated by what
is known as the telegraph block sys-
tenn. The introduction of the Hall sys.
tenn will displace a large number of
employees as operators, but it is expect
ed that each one of them will be Civ
Ell new position in the maintenance
OF the new system. Those who are re-
tanned and instructed in their new
duties will receive larger salaries than
they are now receiving.
The Catawissa division is 81 miles
in length, extending from West Mil.
ton to East Mahanoy Junction, while
the Shamokin division is 104 miles
long.
BY the Hall system an engineer is
aware of the condition of the track
three blocks ahead. A broken rail, a
misplaced switch or any physical OBJ
struction on the rails sets the danger
signal.

A Sudden Death.

William Sechler, widely known
and honored citizen of Derry town
ship, died suddenly at his home about
a mile and half from Strawberry
Ridge between four and five O'Clock
Tuesday evening.
Mr.. Sechler was apparently in his
usual good health and the entire neigh
borhood was stunned by the sudden
ness of the shock. He had just brought
the cows in from the field and placed
them in the barn. He entered the
house and moment later returned to
the barn. He did some chores and
then started toward the house. He had
scarcely more than entered the yard,
when he was heard to utter peculiar
sound. Those of the family who we're
nearby glanced in that direction Just
in time to see him throw up his arms
and fall to the ground They ran to
the spot but he was to all appearances
| already dead.
DR.. Sndyer, of Washingtonville, was
called and arrived in very short time.
Death was instantaneous. The doctor
pronounced the cause of death heart
failure.
The deceased was ~ years of age and
is survived by his wife; also by one
sister, Mrs. Simon Kocher, of East
Danville, and two brothers, Rev. Jo-
seph Sechler, of Lena, ILL.,, and John
M. Sechler, of this city, who for a
month or so past has been visiting
relatives in the West, but who today
intended to start on his journey home.
He was expected to arrive in Danville
on Friday, when it was planned to
have his brother, the deceased. meet
him and to spend the day with him at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. +. Rick
etts, Ferry street.
| Mr.. Sechler's unexpected demise
makes four deaths that have occurred
in the immediate relationship during
a few months time. Mrs. Hannah
Morrison, sister of the deceased, died
last spring, following in three weeks
the death of Mrs John NJ Sechler, a
sister-in-l law of the deceased Rebecca
Sechler, another sister law, depart
ed this life in June.

A Dangerous Runaway.

a runaway occurred Saturday night
that took in large part of the bor-
ough and was attended with several
narrow escapes.
The horse, young animal, attach
ed to a buggy, was being driven by a
young man named Johns, who resides
in Toby run hollow. The young man,
accompanied by lady, was coming
into town and had just reached the
crossing near the gas house at the hos
pital for the insane when they heard a
freight train approaching. The horse
was known to be afraid of the cars and
to insure against accident Mr.. Johns
jumped out and took the horse by thb
head.
As the train came up the animal be-
came so badly frightened that the
driver could not hold him. While the
horse was plunging the lady leaped
| out of the carriage and the next mo-
| ment the animal broke loose and dash
| ed down the road toward town. The
runaway horse caused CONSERVATION as
dIiverless he dashed down East Mar
ket street. There were a good many
vehicles on the street and at several
places it seemed that there would sure
| ly be a collision. Escaping obstacles by
only hairsbreadth, the horse thread
ed his way in and out among the car
| riages and reached Market square be-
fore anything happened Here in max
ing short turn down Ferry street
several spokes were broken out of one
of the wheels. The horse dashed down
Ferry street and eastward on Front
street.
| At Julius Helm residence the ve-
hicle was caught by an obstruction
and badly wrecked. The horse de-
tatched himself from the vehicle but
before he ran much farther was caught
and taken to Pattons' livery stable,
where he was held pending the own
er's arrival.
| In due time Mr. Johns came along
and took charge of the horse. He bor-
rowed wheel at Hunts carriage shop
and with some assistance was able to
patch up the buggy-which was in a
manner new-so that it could be driv-

RECONSTRUCT|NC
NORTH MILL Street

The reconstruction of North Mill
street was first agitated last Septem-
ber or one year ago and now although
the near approach of fall is at hand,
the actual beginning of the work is
still indefinitely in the future. 1t be-
gins to seem q matter of grave doubt
with the vast amount of red tape that
yet remains to be complied with,
whether or not the street can be recon-
structed this fall.
1t may be pleasing enough for per-
sons to delude themselves with the
fancy that the street can be finished
this fall and that during the winter
instead of the rough and muddy road
bed that has proven an annoyance in
the past we will have smooth and clean
paving to drive over. At the same
time it might be worth while to stop
and consider what remains to be done
before beginning can be made at the
work.
In the first place it must be borne in
mind that the State highway depart
ment has a number OF propositions on
hand similar to ours-that it is crowd
ed with work; also that each of the
counties interested have to await its
turn. Add to this the fact that we are
near the middle of September, which
lea, es scarcely more than two months
during which such work may be push
ed with any advantage
II all preliminaries were attended to
it might be different The plans and
specifications are not completed work
upon them has not yet been started
nor have we any assurance that there
will not be further delay before they
are begun. Following precedent the
specifications will be in the hands
of the printer couple of weeks.
So that without making allowance for
probable delay it will be October be-
fore bids are invited. The advertise
ments must run for twenty days. and
his along with other official formality
to be complied with will have the eff
feet of standing off the actual begin
ming of work until nearly the last of
October or more likely the beginning
of November.
The object aimed at is to show that,
while the reconstruction of Mill street
with State aid seems an assured fact.
it would be only by the most fortunate
III 20 -, Al
work could be started at "A date early
enough to insure its completion this
fall.
