Barn Struck by Lightning.

The fine big barn on the farm of
Emanuel Slider, on the Jerseytown
road. Valley township, was struck by
lightning Tuesday afternoon about
10 O'Clock and the fire that followed
totally destroyed the structure and
several nearby buildings.
The farm is occupied by Norman
Kitchen, and he with his son and an
other man were in the barn unloading
wheat at the time it was struck. Mr..
Kitchen says the shock was terrific,
and for moment he was almost stun
ned. An instant after the lightning
struck the barn was in mass of flames,
the fire breaking out in several places
at the same time. 1t was only by
prompt action that the live stock and
farming machinery were saved.
The barn was built about so years
ago, but was in excellent condition !;
it was constructed almost entirely of
oak. 1t was bank barn, S0x38, with
straw shed 55x30; nearby stood fine
new corn shed which was also destroy
ed.
In the barn we're about 30 tons of
hay, 10 loads of wheat, and in the corn
shed 4E0 bushels of shelled corn. Mr..
Kitchen had about one third of his
wheat in and about one-half of his hay
made.
Mr.. Sidler places the value of the
destroyed buildings at $4,000, on which
there is $1,000 insurance. On the hay
and grain there was about $4S0 insur-
ance.

State TO ARRANGE
GAME PRESERVES

The State game commission has de-
termined to establish q number of
State game preserves, where for q
period of six years there will an alb
solutely closed season for all kinds of
game. This scheme is following out
the purposes of the act of May II, 1905,
whereby the game commission was
given authority in cooperation with
the State forestry commission to est
ablish such preserves with the idea of
propagating the wild fauna of the
State.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting of the game commission Sat-
urday afternoon and it was stated that
the forestry commission has given the
necessary permission and three pre-
serves, each from two to two and a
half miles square, will be established
at once. One will be in Franklin conn
ty near Mont Alto and one each in
Clinton and Clearfield counties, where
the State owns many acres of forest
land 1t is proposed to surround these
preserves with single wire with
notices of the reservation placed every
100 feet or so. the idea being that the
wire will serve as warning to hunt
res that they are State reserves, the
common sense and public spirit of the
hunter being trusted to prevent him
from entering or shooting game there
in.
Speaking of the plan, DR.. Kalbfus,
State game protector, said to report
er on Saturday: ''This is the COM
mencement of great chain of per-
serves where game of all kinds may
go, rest and breed. They will not be
stocked, as we trust that the animals
and birds will go there from other
places. We will rely upon the people
to respect these preserves, our only
precautions being wire and notices
tackled on trees. If this is done the
whole State will benefit. -
Men will be put to W ork this week
to make the surveys to establish bound
aries.

KALBFUS BELIEVES
PIGEON STORY

A story was sent out from Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, last week to the effect
that John Burroughs, the author-na-
turalst, has returned from a trip to
Sullivan county, N. Y, where he in
vestigated reports that wild pigeons
had been recently in that locality. with
the impression that he had every rea-
son to believe that the men who saw
the birds were telling the truth, as
they were familiar with the passenger
pigeon in the olden days when there
were flocks of millions i'm this coun-
try.
Secretary Kalbfus, of the State game
commission, was asked if he had any
information concerning wild pigeons
i'll this State, and said he had received
reports of some being seen, but had
not yet investigated Several months
ago Secretary Kalbfus received let
ter from III. III. Rishel, of Westover,
Clearfield county, in which he stated
that there had been nesting for two
seasons past large flock of wild pige-
ons within mile of where he lives,
and he was confident there were at
least three hundred in the flock.
DR.. Kalbfus a, kod for further lnfor-
nation concerning these birds, think
ing perhaps that they might be doves.
and Mr.. Rishel told him that they
nested together, which to the game
commissioner Is an indication that
they were really wild pigeons, as doves
do not nest together, and it was
popularity of the wild or passenger
pigeons of thirty years ago to nest in
large fiocks. There can scarcely be any
mistake about these being wild pige-
ons, and it leads to the belief that they
are coming back 10 this State.
Thirty years ago there was a large
wild pigeon roo,t in the vicinity of
Sheffield, Warren county, and the
stories told of their numbers seem al
most incredible When the birds set
out to feed III the morning and return
ell to the roost at night they were in
such numbers ms to obscure the sun,
and passing over a town, flying low,
they resemblod a huge cloud. Millions
of them were killed and sent to the
larger cities, while thousands were
trapped and used at shooting matches.
The Cornplanter Indians in the north
| ern part of this State and Southern
New York notted myriads of the birds
and made n good living from their
sale. If the wild pigeon returns to this
State II strin lent law will be passed to
prevent its discrimination

CENTRALlA MUST
BE VACATED

With the very heart of Centralia's
business district ordered vacated by
the Lehigh Valley Coal and Iron COM
pany by the first of August when the
work of robbing the pillars beneath
that part of the town will be started,
the very life of that town is now
threatened and it's business death is
only matter of short time.
The gravity of the situation that
faces that town was ascertained yes
terday the facts leaking out through
the search of the deed books now be-
ing made by counsel for the parties
who have been warned out, and who
were innocent purchasers, in many in
stances, not knowing that when the
land was first sold by the Locust Noun
tain Coal and Iron company to land
holders, the mineral rights were re-
served. Many of these parties who un-
knowingly purchased only the surface
rights are now preparing to institute
suit to recover for their loss
The land upon which these proper
ties stand was first conveyed by the
Locust Mountain Coal and Iron COM
pany back in the sixties and seventies,
and in the changes of owners since
that time there has been failure to
set forth in many instances that the
deed carried only the surface rights.
The citizens of Centralia are natur-
ally downcast over the situation that
is staring them squarely in the face.
1t means nothing else than the ex-
termination of the town for already
valuations have deprecated and the
taxes have necessarily been increas-
cd SO that any growth of the town
is out of the question. With practic-
ally all the land owners eventually re-
ceiving the same notices where they
are above the workings of the coal
company it requires no vivid imagina-
tion to realize that Centralia is in a
bad way, to say the least.

improvements at Trinity.

A number of improvements are be-
ing made about the Trinity M. f.
property on Centre street, which when
completed will greatly enhance the
beauty and add to the value of the
church and parsonage.
The side walk in front of both the
church and parsonage has been torn up
and regarded, and fine new cement
walk will be laid. The grade in front
of the church was too low, and in the
course of the alterations this defect
will be remedied. The steps leading to
the main entrance of the church are
being repaired, and concrete base
will replace the old wooden bottom
step.
At the parsonage, beside the new side
walk, the exterior is receiving a coat
of paint and connections are being
made with the new sewer extension.
A bath room will be installed at once
and it Is the intention in the near fu
ture to provide more room in the par
sonage by the erection of two-story
addition in the rear.
The work in progress is under the
personal supervision of Rev. l.. Dow
Ott, pastor of Trinity church.

COMPANY F PRE-
PARES FOR CAMP

F company, Twelfth regiment, N.
G. p, of this city, is speedily COM
pleting all the arrangements for the
annual encampment OF the State 8
soldiers which opens at Gettysburg at
8 O'Clock on Saturday morning, July
81.
The armory is beginning to assume
the busy aspect that always preoedes
the encampment. Stores are being pre-
pared for the journey and drills are
being held twice a week. The com
pany will leave Danville Friday after
noon, July 20, and will be in camp
that evening and have nights rest
before the real activities of camp life
begin. The advance guard leaves on
Thursday, the 10Th.
+ Company is in better condition in
every way this year than for num-
ber of seasons past. The company
I numbers SO men which is 2 short of
the maximum strength and 8 above
the minimum. Danville's company at
the inspection at last years encamp-
ment, made record of 2nd. in the
18th. regiment. This year the officers
consider they have a good chance of
being first, and every effort will be
made, both by the enlisted men and
their superiors, to land this coveted
prize.
In the spring inspection this year
company Il stood 5th. in the Twelfth
regiment. The standing would have
been higher but for the low mark in
guard duty, which was the lowest in
the regiment, owing to the selection
of green men for examination. To Off
set this, however, the local company
was awarded the highest mark in the
regiment for books and papers-a per-
feet per centage Of 100
The rifle range has been open for
several weeks under the supervision of
Quarter Master Sergeant George r.
Gross, range master, and a quarter of
the company has qualified. The re-
mainder of the men will qualify be-
fore going to camp. At the close of
camp Company f will send squad of
its best shots to the regimental matches
at Sunbury. 1t is upon the records
made at these regimental shoots that
the team to represent Pennsylvania at
the international matches at Sea Girt
will be based. The phenomenal records
made by several members of company
f warrant the belief that Danville
will be represented on the State team.
The usual camp followers will be
absent this year. as strict orders have
been issued from regimental lead
quarters that no extra men shall be
taken to camp.
The guardsmen keenly appreciate the
opportunity that is afforded them in
spending week on the historic fields
of Gettysburg. A number of people
from Danville always visit the camp
during the week the soldiers are hav-
ing their outing.

1t is stated that the managers of the
State hospital for the insane at Nor
ristown have determined to purchase
tents and resort to the open air tire at
ment for those insane patients who are
afflicted with tuberculosis. The OPEN
air treatment to be introduced will be
similar to that at White Haven and
other sanitariums where consumptives
live out of doors and whose principal
treatment is deep breathing and the
generous consumption of milk and
eggs. The population of the Norris
town institution is said to be almost
2, 500. and fifty of these have consump-
tion They have already been isolated
in cottages remote from other build
ings. The fresh air treatment is the
only rational one for victims of con-
sumption.

In order to maintain the govern
ment protection of the mail placed in
rural boxes the patron must secure the
approval of the postmaster for the
Office which serves the route, and paint

LEGISLATION TO
LICENSE HUNTERS

The officials of the State game COM
mission are giving much attention to
the proposed law for the licensing of
all gunners and it will be presented at
the coming session of the legislature
with the endorsement of the commits
sion and the State sportsmen' S associa-
tion.
The intended legislation had its
origin at the meeting of the sports
mems ASSOCIATION at Milton in May,
when committee was named to take
charge of the drafting of the law. DR..
Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of the game
commission, is chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the association
and will have big hand in the work.
1t is planned to require every gunner
to take out a license, costing nomin-
al sum, say 81, from place to be des-
ignated later. The money derived
will be used, says DR.. Kalbfus, for the
work of the game commission; pay
ment of officers detailed to protect
game and see that the laws are enforc-
ed under the act for the appointment
of game wardens; for the propagation
of game by buying birds and animals
in other states and placing them in
preserves so that they can be raised
and distributed, and, most important
of all, for the keeping tab on hunters.
By requiring each one to have Ii
cense giving his name and descrip-
tion of his personal appearance which
must be shown upon demand of a
warden and property owner on whose
land the hunter may be, it will do
away with irresponsible hunters and
boys, who are q nuisance and detri-
ment to game, as in many instances
they do not carry away what they kill
and disregard laws. The owners of
land and farmers will also have to
take out licenses, but this, says DR..
Kalbfus, will be benefit to them. as
has been in the case in Missouri and
other western States where the farm.
ers are the most ardent supporters of
the law licensing all hunters.

WATER FOR STOCK

An Adams county man lost more
or less valuable bull in peculiar man
ner the other day. When the cattle
were taken in from the field in the
evening they rushed for the watering
trough with such eagerness as to throw
the bull into it ON his back. AS he
was rather under the average size and
as the cattle completely surrounded
the trough, the animal was drowned
before the owner realized his predica-
ment. To the impartial observer it
looks as though the owner of those cat
tie should provide some method of as
suaging their thirst frequently during
the hot term.

MILLIONS PAVING
like DANVILLE'S

Milton is experiencing the same
difficulties as Danville in connection
with paving with State aid. 1t has
been the intention of the Milton au-
thorities to pave Broadway, the towns
main thoroughfare, with brick.
Dr. Sidney Davis, of Milton. was in
consultation with Commissioner of
Highways Hunter at Harrisburg on
Friday, and as the conditions at Mil
ton are almost identical with those in
Danville, portion of his report to
the citizens of Milton as set forth in
the Standard will no doubt be of in
terest here:
cat first Mr.. Hunter refused to do
anything but mecadamize Broadway
but after some talk he stated the
following proposition y: Mr..
Hunter will pave Broadway from
Front street to the borough limits
twenty feet wide according to the pro-
visions of the State law, which re-
quires the municipality to bear one
| loulb VI bilC CoSe. biio pohshSS "a viz
street, which is about thirteen or four
teen feet, to be paved by the town or
the property owners on the street, the
people or borough to supply and set
the curbing. (Mill street is also "a
feet wide) The cost of the paving
would be from 81. so to 81. .75 per square
yard, according to certain conditions
of the street, as grading. etc. This
paving is to be placed on gravel or
crushed stone foundation. The cost of
curbing is fifty or sixty cents per run
ming foot
Finally DR.. Davis concludes his re-
port with statement with which, as
is natural, Danville people will strenu-
ously disagree. yet which nevertheless
clearly points to one of the great bene-
fits of street paving, and DR.. Davis
words of advice to Milton people
should be warning to Danville not
to allow anything TO stand in the way
of the successful elimination of the
Mill street paving proposition:
''There is one thing to be borne in
mind. that the Broadway road is the
principal artery of this town as it taps
more valleys and larger scope of
country than any of the other roads
leading to the town and once this road
is macadamized through to Washing
tonville. as will eventually happen,
then will large section of trade be
drawn to this town that goes to Dan
vile, for it goes without saying that
all roads of this country point to Mil
| ton. ~
