Harrisburg, Penn. Oct 1.-The
new capitol Of Pennsylvania, which
was dedicated today, is one Of the
most beautiful and imposing build
ines in the United States. Not only
it's architecture, but also In its
interior decorations and furnishings.
thus far the buildings and its fur
nishings represent an expenditure OF
about St3.5OO,OOO. Including some
preliminary work it cost $i5oGoOO
TO erect it and 100000 to fur
nish It.
President Roosevelt delivered an
address as follows;
1t is a very real pleasure to me tc
attend these ceremonies at the capt
tai OF your great State In every
great crisis of our government the
attitude of Pennsylvania has been Of
crucial Importance, as the affection
ate nickname of keystone State
signifies. Pennsylvania has always
loolzt warily before she leapt, and Il
was well that he should do so. Bu
having finally made up her mind, II
each great crisis Of our history, hei
weight has been cast unhesitatingll
upon the right side, and has beef
found irresistible. This was true
alike at the time OF the Declaration
OF independence, at the time of The
adpotion Of the Constitution alC
during the terrible years when thu
Issue was the preservation of thu
Union,
PENNSYLVANIA soil is historic. |
.as Pennsylvania borders that the
lntest opened which was to decide
rrether the valiant soldiers of
ance would be able to bar thi
5atnent against the domination o
se people of the English-speakini
aIonies. 1t was on Pennsylvania
II that the Declaration of indie
ppndence was signed and the Constr
tntional convention held. 1t was il
Pennsylvania that Washington win
tered at Valley Forge, and BY keeping
his army together during that white
definitely turned tho scales in GU
favor in the contest for independ
ence It was again on Pennsylv
ania's soil, at Gettysburg, that tn
tide turned in the civil war. In tn
composition Of her people, moreove
pennsylvania has epitomized tn
composition OF our Union; for her
many Old World races have mingle
thoir blood to make that new type
sn American. Finally, in all tn
branches of the public service, i
ucace and war, the native or adopOe
citizens of Pennsylvania have attain
cd the highest eminence.
lido not, however, come heretoda
TO speak only Of the past, and sti
less to appeal merely to State pride
We can slcw that the past is with Il

Water System for Cemetery.

The Odd Fellows are installing
very fine improvement at their ceme-
terry east of the borough, which will
be much appreciated by those who
own lots there. The improvement is
nothing less than an extensive water
system, arranged TO accommodate ev-
cry portion of the cemetery.
During the autu mn a we'll 1875 feet
deep was bored, which will yield a
never failing supply of water. A build
ing. some fourteen by fifteen feet, is
being compile ted, in which will be in
stalled the engine, pump and tank.
This is located on the highest point,
which is near the center of the grounds.
From the pumping station iron pipe
will be sunk below the limit of frost,
leading to every part of the cemetery.
At convenient points all about the
grounds hydrants will be installed.
The engine and pump, which are
furnished by Williamsport firm, are
already on the ground ready to be in
stalled. The tank will be of iron and
of sufficient capacity to meet all re-
quirements.
The plant will be put in operation
as soon as completed, which will be
in few weeks time. Hurley Baylor,
the sexton, will be in charge.

p. o. Box Rent Raised.

A new schedule relating to post
office boxes has been adopted by the
post office department, which results
in materially raising the box rates per
quarter.
Box rent lates it appears. have been
fixed heretofore upon no established
basis with the result that at certain
large post offices rates are lower than
at many small offices that the charge
for small boxes is in many cases high
er than that which should be made for
large boxes; that rents are sometimes
collected at the same rate for boxes OF
all sizes aud that at post offices of
like class, in the same vicinity, equip
ped with similar boxes, rents are col
lected at widely different rates. 1t was
in order to remedy these conditions
and to provide a definite aud satisfac-
tory rule for the collection of box
rents that the new schedule, based up
on the kind and capacity of boxes and
the gross receipts at post offices has
been adopted.
The new schedule affects the box
rates at the Danville post office as fol-
lows:
The rent for the smallest boxes has
been raised from 30 cents to so cents
rent for the medium sized boxes, from
80 cents to rs cents, and rent for the
drawers from rs cents to 81. 90 pei
quarter.

STUBBORN FIRE IN
SOFT COAL DUMP

During some weeks past the manage
ment of the Reading Iron works here,
has been up against an unusual diff
Guilty. In short, fire broke out in the
big soft coal dump west of the mill
containing Thousands of tons of fuel and
the problem has been how to get the
fire extinguished. Although it is by
no means unusual for heavy deposits
of soft coal to ignite in this way, yet
up to the present no adequate means
have been discovered that will thor
oughly extinguish the fire an thus
prevent an annoyance and loss.
The fire at the Reading Iron works
is no exception. Early in the autumn
the discovery was made that the soft
coal was on fire. This formed an en-
ormous deposit, built up around the
high trestling that carries the cars and
from which it was dumped. To get at
the seat of the fire was impossible and
the best that could be done was to
drench the coal with water. Although
water was regularly and systematical-
ly applied but little was accomplished
in this way, the water merely running
off the coal without sinking in to any
depth;
Meanwhile the deposit of soft coal
lay there like a miniature volcano,
day and night emitting clouds of
smoke, and revealing evidence. that
not only was the coal slowly but sure
ly burning, but that the entire system
of heavy trestling, nearly new, was
likewise being consumed by the hid
den fire.
When the works started up last
month and the coal was needed for the
furnaces an effort was made to get at
the seat of the fire or at least to cut
off its progress toward the schutes,
which form part of the trestling
system and which were in imminent
danger. By applying water regularly,
as the coal is removed, the progress of
the fire in that direction has been ar
rested, although the burning elsewhere
is still in progress and the deposit of
coal even ON the surface is hot.
As the coal is hauled away the full
damage done to the trestliny becomes
apparent. The lower timbers are Who'll
ly or in part consumed and at least
two of the large bents are robbed of
their support and as the coal is re-
moved are held upright by being chain
ed to the top stringer.
The effect of the fire is not to Who'll
ly consume the soft coal bnt to burn
it into something like coke, and in this
form it is still available in the mill
aud is used without much unconveni-
ence.

PeddIer Didn't Need License.

The supreme court of the United
States Monday reversed the decision
of the superior court of Pennsylvania
in the case of N. L. Rearick against
the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania,
involving an ordinance Of the town of
Sunbury, requiring canvassers for the
sale of merchandise to take out Ii
cense.
Rearick was representative Of an
Ohio broom manufacturer, and was ar
rested and fined sa5 for the violation
of the State regulations. The higher
State courts upheld the proceeding,
but Mondays action over ruled it on
the ground thai ReaIick was engaged
in interstate commerce which was not
within the jurisdiction Of State auth
critics.
1.-THE brooms." said Justice Holmes,
who delivered the opinion "were
specifically appropriated to specific
contracts, in a practical if not in a
technical sense. Under such circumst-
ances it is plain that wherever might
have been their title the transport Of
the brooms for the filling the con-
tracts was protected commerce.

A Mysterious Grave.

4 ms sterio srave, evidently dug
in the night, has been discovered on
small island at most isolated point
in the Fishing Greek, and whether it
points to a crime or not. diligent
watching has as yet failed to reveal.
A half mile above Benton where
the creek turns through the farm of
Boyd Nc Henry. is a small island. This
is half mile away from the public
road running from Benton to Cambria,
and the road can only be reached by
climbing very steep hill The spot
is a very secluded one, no house is
within half mile of the place and it
is seldom visited by any person. Sun
day morning, however, Clark Shannon
and Edward Vandine were going
through the woods when they came
upon blazed trail leading from the
road to the creek. Following this they
noticed hole on the island and on go
ing out and investigating found it TO
be five feet, seven inches long, and
thirty inches wide, and about the
depth of au ordinary grave. The earth
was piled at the side, and it bore every
indication of having been dug for the
burial of a grown person. In the sand
was the imprint of a large hand. show
ing that a man was concerned in the
digging, but ON clues could be found.
James Conner, who lives ON the Dug
road to which the blazed trail led, was
informed of the discovery. Thinking
that the grave was intended for the
burial of body to hide a murder, a
few friends were let into the secret
and the spot has been watched night
ly since that time. Nothing was seen
by the watchers, however, and deep
mystery surrounds the entire affair.
No one seems to know anything about
the grave, and as far as known, no one
is dead or missing in that vicinity. 1t
is thought that the grave must have
been dug Saturday night or early Sun
day morning Judging by the freshness
of the ground, and by the fact that no
one was seen going along the road or
through the woods with shovel at
any time during the day.
News of the affair is becoming gen.
orally know throughout that section
and has occasioned great excitement
among the people of that vicinity.

or so it will, no doubt. constitute a

- Ice is accommodating very fast ON the

closing very soon owing to the height
of the water, which has risen some

Value Of
DANV|LLE INDUSTRIES

A bulletin, entitled Census of
Manufactures 1906" issued by the
United States department of commerce
and labor, contains some very interest
ing statistics relating to Danville,
showing, among other things, that
there are 81 industrial establishments
in this city with a capital of 81 ,571.
3S2.
The summary of the statistics in
cludes 81 municipalities in the Unit
ed States having q population of at
least 5000 in 1909. 1t says that our 81
establishments are conducted by SO
salaried officers and clerks, who re-
ceive yearly for their services $66, 0S7.
The number of wage earners employed
here is given as 1908. earning yearly
1916, 263. Our wage earners are divid-
ed as follows: Men l6 years and over,
/, 224 women 16 years and over, 245;
children under l6 years Of age. l34,
The cost of tho material used in
Danville plants for 1905 was 81 , l02. 209,
and the finished products that our
plants turned out was valued at Sa,-
1926. .227.
Several of the towns in this section
are not mentioned in the bulletin,
among them being Bloomsbury and
Milton. This omission is somewhat to
be regretted, as comparison of the
statistics from these towns with those
from Danville would perhaps prove in
teresting.
Among the towns hereabouts that
are mentioned is Sunbury. There are
80 industrial establishments in Sun
bury, with 56 salaried officers and
clerks. The capital invested in Sun
bury establishments is 81, 1871
This, of course, is exclusive of the rail
road. from which Sudbury receives a
large part of its industrial prestige.
