To Trustees of First Methodist Church


It's sound sense that we tell you.
1t will cost less dollars to paint your
church with l.. & M. Paint, because
more painting is done with one gallon
of l.. & M. than with two gallons of
other paints, and the l.. e M. Zinc
hardens the L. & M. White Lead and
makes the l.. & M. Paint wear like
iron.
Any church will be given a liberal
quantity free whenever they paint.
d gallons l.. & M. mixed with 3 gal
Ions Linseed Oil will paint a moderate
sized house.
J.. & M. costs only $1.2O per gallon.

writes: Houses painted with l.. & M.
10 years ago have not needed painting
since. n

Halloween Spirit.

The youngsters have already caught
the hallow cen spirit and the streets
are becoming pretty noisy at night.
Last evening some boys appeared on
the street with horns, but they were
promptly repressed by the chief-of-
police, who read the law to the youth
full serenaders in emphatic terms.
Time was when it was customary to
begin the celebration of hallow cen
about two weeks before the date on
which it occurred and to keep it up
for week or so afterwards. 1t was
very entertaining to the youngsters
but life was hardly worth living to the
other seven tenths of the population.
No consderate person who has not
forgotten that he himself once, was
young, will deny the Juveniles the
all that such observance implies. but
let the saturnalian revelry as far as
possible be confined to one night. This
should be quite sufficient for all sensi-
BILE young people who have been taught
that older persons have rights which
they are bound to respect.
Chief Mincemoyer has succeeded i'll
! keeping the observance of the Fourth
of July within n sane and sensible
limit and it is probably not going too
| far to assert that he will succeed in
holding down the youngsters when it
comes tor halloween. Meanwhile all
lovers of comparative good order and
! quiet will applaud his efforts.

RepOlnting Church Walls.

Il. l.. Evans sons, who last summer
were awarded the contract for repoint-
ing the walls of the Grove Presbyter
ian church, have begun work on the
building 1t will prove difficult and
rather slow Job. 1t is true, the entire
exterior surface of the walls will not
have to be gone over. as there are
many places where the mortar placed
between the stones when the wall was
laid up some thirty years ago still re-
mains firm and intact.
The most difficult part of the work
lies in the front of the building and
the steeple. Scaffolding will have to
be erected here reaching up the steeple
as far as the stone work extends. For
other portions of the building, port
able scaffold will suffice, which not
being attached to the building, can be
moved along as the work advances.
The work will occupy about two
weeks

DRAGGED By
RUNAWAY HORSE

County Commissioner @. w. Cook,
of Valley township, while attempting
to control runaway horse Monday
was dragged nearly a square, but
escaped without very serious injury.
1t happened about 80 O'Clock. Mr..
standing in front of Joseph Smiths
meat market, on Mill street, and was
in the act of stepping into the carri-
age when the horse, taking fright,
sprang forward and began to run. Mr.
Cook, who had not yet gotten into the
vehicle slipped down inside the wheels
He had succeeded in grasping one of
the lines, and either entangled in this
or else pluckily holding on hoping to
stop the horse he was dragged under
meath the buggy all the way from the
meat market to the armory, where he
was caught by the wheel and rolled
around several times like ball.
At this point the buggy and the man
parted company, the former dashing
Oub MILL anu ullC iapeoi
laying in the street momentarily
stunned. The thrilling spectacle was
witnessed by M. Ii. Schram and one
or two others, who Immediately ran
to the assistance of Mr.. Cook, who di d
not seem very seriously hurt and was
able to rise unassisted.
The man was bleeding from two
gashes, one above and the other below
the left eye. There was also bad
abrasion ON his nose and an injury on
one leg below the knee. He also COM
planned of internal pains. He was as
sisted to DR.. Paules' drug store, where
his injuries were dressed. 1t is not
thought that he is seriously hurt.
The horse was caught on North Mill
street and returned to the owner.

IRON FLAG STAFF
At HOSPITAL

The authorities of the hospital for
the insane are about signalizing the
completion of the fine improvements
just installed by erecting a 125-foot
flag staff, which will lift the stars and
strips to an altitude that will make
them visible for miles around.
Aside from this fact, however, there
is a story hanging on the flag staff it
self, which latter has no parallel in
anything in this section being entire
ly of iron. The flag staff, which was
furnished by Buchanan & company, ar
rived at the hospital Monday and yes
terday afternoon was hauled from the
cars to the site on the grounds where
it is to be erected
The iron pole, which is in the form of
a series of tubes jointed together is in
two parts, one part being 81 feet and
4 inches long aud the other 63 feet and
4 inches long. The two sections as
shipped lay side by side taking in the
entire length of two cars. The total
weight of the pole when the two sec
tions are united will be no less than
five tons. At the bottom the big tube
is IA inches in diameter it tapers to
four inches at the top
1t will be raised at the very spot
where the smaller wooden pole stood
that was erected during the Spanish
American war-in front of the hospit-
al about midway between the main en-
trance and the gate house.
W. A. Shepperson had the contract
for hauling the iron pole. Owing to
its great size and weight it proved ex-
ceedingly difficult to handle on wheels,
but Mr.. Shepperson managed to trans
port it from the cars to the site it is
| to occupy without mishap. Still more
difficult probably will be the work of
raising the l25-foot iron staff. First
of all an immense foundation of con-
crete will have to be laid in which the
pole will be sunk to the depth of nine
! feet. To assist in the raising trench
will be dug, in which the iron pole
will lie at slant with it's lower end
on the level that it will occupy when
raised An immense gin pole will be
erected by the means Of which the flag
staff will be swung into vertical posi-
tion. The iron pole at the hospital is
the first of the kind to be erected il
this vicinity.

Broken Rail.

Under the weight of a heavy freight
train rail on the ID. L. & w. Mill
street crossing broke about noon yes
terday. The train passed over in safety
but the break sutficed to reveal how,
Notwithstanding we'll built roads and
ordinary care costly accidents may oc-
cur.
The rail had every appearance of
being sound on the surface, yet piece
some eight inches in length embracing
the top or flange broke off, revealing a
bad defect in the body of the rail.
The break was Immediately detect
ed by persons near the crossing and
the rail was removed and "a new one
put in, between the time of the mis-,
hap and the arrival of the 2. pass
euger train. Had the accident occur
red out on the line where it might
have passed unnoticed for the time be.
ing it is easy to understand how bad
wreck might have occurred on the

concrete work
IS COMPLETED
Employed in Painting d.
l.. & w. Station-Fine
improvements.

The ID. L. & w. railroad company
Yesterday completed the extensive con.
crete work embracing station platform
and lengthy walk down to Church
street, on which large force of work
men were employed for nearly four
weeks. The concrete gang is now
off the ground and their place is
occupied by the painters who are Civ
ing the station and other buildings a
new coat of paint. All must agree that
the d. L. & W. railway company is
showing vast amount of enterprise
and the sum total of Improvements
made is rather more than was to be
expected in one season.
Embracing platform and pavement
leading to Church street, the stretch
of concrete work constructed is over
five hundred feet in length. The plat
form was completed last week. The
pavement, which was thrown open to
the public yesterday, is very fine af-
fair and is feature that will be es-
pecially appreciated by the travelling
public.
Before the concrete pavement was
constructed, people on approaching or
leaving the station walked close along
side the track which, when trains
were passing, made it just n little
dangerous. The concrete walk, there
fore, has been laid at the extreme
southern side of the tract owned by
the railroad company, some ten feet
from the track 1t was stated at the
sta tion yesterday that the strip be-
tween the walk and the rails will be
sodded over.
Between the station platform and
the concrete pavement, opposite the
alley coming down from Lower Null
berry street. is n wide driveway cob
bled with heavy stones to be used by
teams approaching or leaving the sta
tion.
All that is needed now is to COM
plete the painting, when the ID. l.. q
w. company can boast of improve
ments that will compare favorably
with any other company and cast the
p. & r. station, with its homeiy
gravel walks, far in the shade.

MR.. bARN|TZ'
FINE HENNERY
Will Propagate Thorough
bred Single-Combed
White Leghorns.

The handsome residence of Rev. O..
M. Barnitz. South Danville, is rapid
ly approaching completion and by
November lst, it is thought. it will be
ready for occupancy. A consp icuous
feature of the establish ment is the
large and finely planned hen merry in
therear, which just now is receiving a
coat of paint
AS indicated by the bu ilding Mr.
Barnitz is chicken fancier and in
tends to enter upon the raj sing of
chickens on very large scale. 1t
would be a mistake, however, to fancy
that he intends to enter into competi-
tion with the farmers, raj sing chick
ems of the common breed for killing.
In the first place he will devote him
self to the propagation of the ehoi cest
and most expensive breeds of fowls,
which will find ready sale among
chicken fanciers and farmers who de-
sire to improve their a breed of fowls.
There will be large surplus of eggs
and these will likewise be disposed of
at advantage for breeding purposes
The hennery alone is well worth a
visit. 1t is built according to modern
and most approved ideas and is un-
doubtedly without parallel anywhere
i'll this section. 1t consists of two
wings one story high with a central
building lSxlS feet and two stories
high. Each wing is seventy i've feet
long, twelve feet wide and contains
two divisions. Walls and ceiling are
plastered and the floor is of cement.
One of the wings faces the east and
the other the south. There are numer-
GUS windows. which admit abundant
sunlight.
In the central building there is a
we'll by the side of which a gasoline
engine and force pump will be in
stalled. The second story, which COM
mands view of both wings of the
hennery, will be eventually occupied
by watchman.
Mr.. Barnitz, who is occupying the
VanNostrand homestead pending the
completion of his new dwelling, has
fine lot of chuice fowls on hand These
are all thoroughbred single comb
white leg horns, commonly called "egg
machines" because of their wonderful
capacity for laying. There are one
hundred hens and the same number of
roosters. On November 1st these will
all be installed in the wing facing the
south.
The other wing will be used for the
incubators and the "brooders'' The
first incubators will be set about Jan
uary 1st. By June 18th all the chick
els will be Matched, ,at which time Mr..
Barnitz expects to have at least 1000
fowls OH hand. One half of these will
have to be sold in order to get the
number of pullets required for the
next season.
Mr.. Barnitz is thoroughly posted on
all that relates to the propagation of
fancy breeds of chickens and every
thing will be conducted in scientific
manner. To promote health among the
fowls portion of the hennery will be
set apart as hospital To inspire
terror in the minds of chicken thieves
ferocious dog will have freedom of
the premises at night. A dog with a
record has already been purchased and
yesterday left York by express for
South Danville. He is an old fashion
ed bull dog, which was on exhibition
at the dog show at Richmond, Va,
and more recently at the big York
fair.

Flooded With Buckwheat.

Although there have been reports of
q shortage in the buckwheat crop in
some sections, the experience of Ben
ton miller yesterday would seem to
contradict the reports, says the Blooms
burg Daily.
John Mather, Of Benton, was in
need of quantity of buckwheat, and
fearing that he could not get the sup
ply he wanted, he started an agent out
through the country in an effort to
buy up buckwheat at go cents bushel.
In two hours he was offered more
buckwheat than he could use. Other
millers report the same conditions.

RAILROAD Officers
make ARREST

The p. & r. railway company, which
for some time past has suspected that
it is being systematically robbed of
coal, established indisputable evidence
of that fact yesterday morning and as
the result of the discovery resident
of the foreign quarter was arrested
and committed to Jail.
The story of the arrest contains some
sensational features. AS soon as the
railway people became convinced that
large quantities of coal were being stol-
gu here while in transit, Special Otfic-
ers Pursley and SINNERS were put ON
the case.
The two officers made it point to
be on the ground yesterday morning
about four O'Clock, before daylight.
just at the time when the south bound
freight carrying large qantities of soft
coal was expected to pass through. No
sooner did the train come rolling into
town than the officers, who were hid
ing, discovered that their trip to Dan
Vile was not in vain.
.As usual the train-a long one-stop
ped north of the station, which left
the rear end standing in the vicinity
of Sycamore street. Scarcely had the
cars stopped when man made his ap-
pearance and mounting car proceed
ed to fill bag with coal
The officers were after evidence of
an indisputable sort, and they permit
ed the man to carry Off three bagfuls
of coal when he returned for the
fourth bagful Officer Pursley proceed
ed to make an arrest. He failed, how
ever, to properly size up his man, who
was stout and wiry fellow and no
sooner did Pursley lay hold of him
than he clinched with the officer. In
the struggle the two men fell down
over the high embankment, which
fanks the railroad at that point. The
officer physically was hardly match
70 the coal thief and no sooner did he
regain his feet than he was thrown
down again and repeatedly the two
men rolled over and over not stopping
until they were at the foot of the en-
bankment and within few feet of the
creek, which flows by at that spot. By
this time officer SINNERS had come to
the rescue and the two officers hurried
the arrested man down to city hall,
and delivered him to Ch ief Of Police
Mincemoyer, who put the fellow in
the lookup. The man arrested gave
his name as George Gudalevich and
his residence as on Sycamore street.
Eight O'Clock was fixed as the time
for the hearing. Meanwhile the two
p. 81 r. policemen, accompanied by
Chief of Police Mincemoyer, visited
the dwelling of Gudalevich and in the
kitchen found the three bags of coal
distracted from the train yesterday
morning while in the cellar was de-
posit of four tons of soft coal.
Upon being arraIgned before Justice
Oglesby Gudalevich declared that he
had picked up the coal alongside the
railroad. The Justice held him for
court in three hundred dollars bail,
which he was unable to procure at
that time and consequently was COM
mitted to the county prison.
Gudalevich has wife and five chill
dren. After he was committed to Jail
some of his friends in the foreign
quarter began to interest themselves
in the matter. About noon through
their efforts bondsman was procured
and the man was released until court.
