Writes About Memorial Day.

An interesting letter has been re-
ceived by Goodrich Post from James
Tanner, commander in chief of the G..
A. R. The letter deals with Memorial
day and is very interesting epistle.
1t says in part: I'VE have been OBJ
serving this day ever since our below
ed Logan instituted it in 1868. This
year, comrades, we are crossing the
broad river at the rate of 8, 900 month,
go, 600 year soon the great majority
will be sleeping their last sleep, and
it is our privilege now, as it has been
for many years, to pay loving tribute
to their memory by decorating their
graves with flowers, which, starting
forth from mother earth with each re-
curing springtime, are emblamatic of
a resurrection to glorious immortal
ity.
1--WE have returned the battle STAN
dards of the dead ConfedeIacy to those
who treasure them as sacred mementos
of their loved ones who died under
them. The Congress of the United
States has just unanimously voted
5000, 900 to care for the graves of those
dead, and the heart of the Nation has
said, with great unanimity, "It is
well" Unitedly we march along the
highway of nations, rose bushes
blossoming over and around, and the
birds nesting in the mouths of the can
non that once roared defiance and
death at each other, the world applaud
ing, our conscience approving"

Improvements at ID. L. s. w.

The d. L. e. w. railroad company
has entered upon an important i'm
provement in this city. 1t consists of
matchmaking all the area about the
station, which in its present form has
always been Objectionable in dusty
and muddy weather.
To prepare for the macadam nearly
foot of ground will have to be ex-
cavated over the entire area owned by
the company, which lies between the
station and the railroad on one side
and Blizzard s run on the other. Some
thirty men were put to work yester-
day, consisting of the five repair crews
Of this city, Northumberland and Ru-
pert. Very good progress was made,
the ground as fast as it was dug loose
being loaded on the cars preparatory
to being taken to dry saw mill hollow
where it will be used in filling up
along the track where a bad washout
occurred recently.
At certain seasons of the year all
the area at the rear of the station be-
comes very muddy and to provide
better surface the railroad company a
year or so ago asked the borough to
cooperate with it in paving the spot
and the roadways leading to it, The
borough did not see its way clear to
take hold of the matter as proposed
and the improvement was dropped un-
til the present. Macadam may prove
less desirable than a pavement, but it
will be great improvement over what
has existed up to the present.

IMPROVED CASH REGISTER.

DR.. w. r. Paules has installed q
cash register in his drug store, Mill
street, which is marvel and would
seem to represent the acme of attain
ment in inventions of that sort. 1t is
a cashier in itself and is more than
human in that it can not err. 1t is a
national cash register Of the very lat
est make and has so many improve
ments over those formerly in use that
it is difficult to remember them all.
The new invention besides embodying
the general principles of the old, shows
the amount in each drawer and the
total in all three drawers. 1t shows
the number Of customers waited on
daily by each clerk and the whole
number of customers waited ON daily.
AS the cash is received the register
throws out check for the customer
indicating the amount, clerk, ETC., and
explaining that dollar in cash will
be given to every customer who is not
rendered correct receipt for the
amount of the purchase. The cash reg
lister is very beautiful piece of work
made of nickel and finished in silver
and gold. 1t is supported ON solid
oak case highly polished.

Illegal Car Riders Arrested.

A bunch of illegal car riders from
Shamokin and Mt. Carmel spent Sun
day night in the Sunbury Jail, and
some of them are likely to remain
there until the strike is over. Thirty
or forty Shamokinites went to Sun
bury on freight trains Sunday morn
ing About five o'clock more than a
hundred of them boarded a Pennsy
freight train bound for Harrisburg.
In the lower yards the cops went
aboard and the boys went afield, but
not all of them. Eighteen or twenty
were captured, handcuffed together
and marched to the Jail One bunch
of ten was in charge of three police
men. There were three boys in the
lot, the others being men, and some
of them past forty years of age. The
captures were made by the Sunbury
police force. 1t is said that the men
and boys from the coal region do so
much damage to property around Sum
bury that it has become necessary to
stop the nuisance.
1t was said in Sunbury that the au-
thorities threaten to ask the courts for
the privilege of erecting and using a
whipping post in an effort to make the
town an undesirable place for illegal
riders.

AN EARLY
N'' 'N'''' SNAKE STORY

If the experience of the gang of
workmen employed in repairing North
umberland street last week counts for
anything the season upon which we
are just entering will be especially
prolific in snakes and consequently in
snake stories. The road repaired for
half mile skirts the base of Montour
ridge and the serpents, venomous and
otherwise, which have been hibernat-
ing during the winter are just wiggl-
ing out of their torpid or lethargic
state and preparing to resume their
old haunts.
In all, the men killed ten snakes, in
the number being three copperheads.
Among the latter was the largest cop
perhead ever seen in this section, mea
suring trifie over three feet in length
The big reptile might have bitten Har-
rison Paugh, one of the workmen, and
it is probably owing only to the fact
that it had not wholly passed out of
its torpid state that it did not sink its
fangs into his hand.
The men were cleaning out the gut
ter at the foot of the ridge. Twice
Mr.. Paugh had reached down and
with his bare hands had scraped to.
gether the leaves and other trash and
was returning for the third armful
when he.saw the snake half hidden
among the rubbish that remained on
the spot, partly coiled and ready to
strike. To say that the man was fright
ened is putting it mildly. The reptile
was easily killed.

FILLING Up
THE CANAL

The Reading Iron company has solv-
ed the problem of getting rid of the
old canal and has demonstrated that
those who held to the view that it was
practicable to fill up:..the old water
way were wholly right in the prem
ises.
1t will be news to many of our
townspeople to learn that the Reading
Iron company in disposing of its daily
accumulation of ashes and cinders in
the period of about yearlhas obliter-
ated the old canal for distance of
over one thousand feet. where former
ly lay the old ditch with its reeky
bottom overgrown with weeds now is
a surface of clean cinder perfectly
smooth and raised to the level of the
bank on each side of the canal.
BY means of temporary track the
cinder is run down the canal in the
cars and dumped just where it is want
ed. 1t was just such scheme as this
that those persons had in view who
advocated cooperating with the ID. l..
& W. railroad company in getting rid
of the canal. The railroad company,
it will be recalled, agreed to pipe the
canal provided the borough would
agree to fill it up, taking whatever
time was necessary, within a reason
able limit, to complete the work. 1t
was understood at the time that the
cinder, etc. accommodating at the diff
erent industries would be available for
the purpose. 1t is significant that the
product of one industry alone has OBJ.
liberated the old canal along such a
great distance, which corresponds to
a section of the old waterway reach
ing from the aqueduct to a point above
Pine street, where it still lies open
and promises to be nuisance for
years to come.

LOOKING FOR
~ ARMORY SITE

The subject of securing site for
Armory is being discussed a good deal
about town by those who have the
welfare of Company F as we'll as the
advancement of the municipality in
view. Since the last meeting of coun-
Gil, when the matter was so forcibly
presented by Captain J. B. Gearhart,
several of our leading and influential
and have taken hold of the matter in
a way that promises to bring about
practical results.
The part Of town to which most per-
sons turn in casting about for site
for an armory is on Ferry street and
there are several sites there that might
be obtained at a very low figure, if the
matter were rightly presented and the
proper influences brought to bear.
In presenting the matter to council,
Captain Gearhart explained that it by
no means follows that the State will
not buy land on which to erect the
armories, if necessary. At the same
time the view is taken that those
towns which reveal sufficient interest
in the national guard to donate land
for a site will be the places whose ap.
plications for an armory will be first
considered by the.State armory board.
Accordingly number of towns in or
der to show their enterprise and their
appreciation of the guard, after the
law was enacted at once got busy and
long ago had desirable sites ready to
offer the State free of cost.
The second armory to be erected by
the State will be built at Mt Pleas.
ant, Westmoreland county. The State
armory board is also considering plans
for the armories to be built at Colum-
bia and Easton How soon Dpnville's 's
turn may come no one, of course, would
venture to predict; but considering
that the armory here has been con.
demned by the State authorities, if the
citizens take hold of the matter right.
ly, there would seem to be no doubt
but that our town may be remembered
at an early day. 49,.
1t is hardly likely that the owner OF
plot of ground suitable could be in
duced to donate its full value to the
State, even though it would be for the
good of his town. About the best thai
could be expected probably would bt
for the owner, in helping to secure al
armory, to agree to sell the ground fol
a very moderate figure. This would
make it possible for the citizens, with
out any very great sacrifice, to unite
in the purchase of the site and turn i
over to the State. An armory such al
required in Danville would be pre-
tentious building and would cost a
least $40, 900. Something definite will
reference to proposed site will prob
ably develop in few days.

EXPENSIVE
GUARD ERECTED

It may not be generally known that
the Northumberland road as far as the
"dug road" lies within the borough
limits and that like any of the other
streets of town it has to be looked af-
ter and repaired by the borough. AL
though away from the built-up por-
tion it probably proves one of the
most expensive thoroughfares to keep
safe and in good repair, as for half
mile it runs along high embank-
ment and has to be protected by a
guard rail.
Street Commissioner E S. Miller
with force of workmen Saturday
completed the annual repairs on North
umberland street and it is safe to say
that the thoroughfare was never in
such complete condition before. Not
only have the cutters been cleaned out
and:.t roadbed repaired but practic-
ally new guard has been erected along
the entire length. This is feature,
especially, which was never in such
perfect condition before. In all, there
are 1S0 posts, securely planted, fifteen
feet apart, carrying rail in the form
of iron pipe ~ inches in diameter.
Of the posts planted ITO were new, the
balance being those which were used
before and only needed to be replant-
ed. Formerly for considerable dis
tance wooden rails were used, but at
the last meeting of council it was de-
cided to throw these out and to use
iron exclusively.
At point Of the road below the
Reading iron works where the switch
was formerly located the road was
widened from 10 to 20 feet.

To Build New Home.

Plans and specifications for the erec-
tion of magnificent home have been
placed in the hands of builders and
contractors by W. f. Pascoe, construc-
tion engineer of the Shamokin Exten-
sion Company.
Recently the we'll known street car
man acquired several lots adjoining
those of M. H. Barr at Edgewood and
the home he contemplates erecting
will be one of the most beautiful in
that rapidly growing residence Sec
tion. 1t is estimated that it will cost
at least s15, 600 to complete it. The
plans and specifications call for a
strictly modern home in all its details
and the general plan of the interior is
similar to that of the home Of Hon.
M. H. Kulp. 1t will be frame struc-
ture and the architectural scheme re-

AID FOR GOOD ROADS.

1t would appear as if way had
been found by which the farmers of
the United States may be brought to a
full realization Of the value to them
OF roads that can be travelled with ease
at all seasons. Postmaster General
Cortelyou has issued statement in
regard to the policy of his department
in the maintenance of the rural mail
delivery service over the established
routes, which ought to impress the
value of good roads upon ruralites.
Mr.. Cortelyou states, "when a rural
agent or postmaster reports that the
roads traversed by rural carriers, are
impassable, or in bad condition, the
matter Is taken up by the department,
through the postmaster, with the local
road authorities, and due notice given
that unless the condition of the road
is improved it will be necessary to
take steps looking to the withdrawal
OF the service from that vicinity.
The rural mail delivery has come to
stay. Its extension has been rapid
from the start. and if any attempt were
made to abolish it there would be
strong protest from farmers in all sec
tions.of the country. This being the
fact, it is not difficult to see how the
agriculturiasts of the country can be
compelled to do their duty in the main
tenance of good roads. This will not
be hardship in tho interest of mail
service, but direct benefit that will
stimulate farm values and reduce the
cost of transporting farm products to
the.primary markets.

State to Build Bridge.

The Dauphin county court yester-
day handed down an opinion in the
Mifflinville river bridge case that in
dicates that the bridge will be built by
the State.
The opinion upheld the constitu-
tionality of the Rose bill, passed at
the last regular session of the legislat-
ure, and makes it obligatory for the
State to build the bridge.
The trouble over the bridge grew
out of the fact that according to the
plans and specifications the bridge
would cost too much. The attorney
general and the Columbia county COM
missioners had met and included in
the plans for the bridge some items
that put the cost at figure beyond all
reason. The opinion of the Dauphin
county court, therefore, contained an
order denying the right of the attorney
general and the commissioners to reach
any understanding with regard to the
bridge
The viewers appointed for the bridge
will reconvene and get up another set
OF plans and specifications.

RAIN NEEDED.

Mont Derr of White Hall, drove into
town yesterday. Mr.. Derr is pro-
gressive school teacher and as is nat
ural with one raised in an agricultur-
al community is closely in touch with
farming. In that part of the county,
he says, the farmers are just now SOW
ing oats, work which is often COM
pleted in the first half Of April. A few
are not yet ready to SOW and are only
ploughing the ground. Corn planting,
which ordinarily comes ON about the
10th of May, this spring will keep the
farmers occupied until the last of the
month. 1t is only here and there that
much corn ground is ploughed at this
date. To make the matter worse it is
becoming very dry and if copious rains
do not soon fall it is feared that the
ploughing will be rendered very diff
cult.
