NECESSARY TO
INSTALL PUMP

p. J. Keefer, superintendent of con.
struotion, with force Of men Tues
day began work ON the excavation for
the foundation IF the Soldiers mouu-
ment The first day sufiiced to reveal
that the job is going to be a difficult
one owing to the presence of water,
which has made it necessary to in
stall a pump
1t is well known fact that the
cemetery is a wet and soggy spot, es-
pecially in the center where the site
Of the monument lies. It was hardly
expected, however, that water wo1ld
be encountered so soon.
Mr.. KeeferEthinks it will be neces-
sary to sink the excavation, at last ten
feet before a solid bottom will be
found. Upon attaining depth of three
feet Tuesday water was encountered
and before the work could proceed
further it was necessary to install a
handpump and lay pipe to conduct the
water to an intake in the park drain
some so feet distant.
The accumulation of water will no
doubt prove a great annoyance and a
hindrance as the work progresses, as
it may be necessary to keep the pump
in constant operation when a greater
depth has, s,been attained.

The Nbis,le e. Rttord Go.

About nine O'Clock Monday morn
ing people were alarmed by a steam
whistle which sounded one prolonged
blast lasting for about fifteen minutes.
There was nothing particularly
shrill or omiuous in the sound OF the
whistle and for the first several min
utes no one thought anything Of il,
but after the sound continued without
the least halt or variation for five
minutes OF more people began TO be
alarmed. thinking that there might be
a fire at one of our industries
People had great difficulty in lOcat-
ing the sound. Meanwhile another FIVE
minutes passed and the whistle went
merrily on. FINALLY the crowd made
its way out toward the north end of
town. convinced that the noise must
lie in that direction
The whistle was found TO come from
a P. & r. locomotive that was in
trouble. The engine was shifting cars
on the switch and had occasion TO
sound the whistle when owing to some
defect in the valve. il was found i'm
possible to shut of steam. Everything
was done, but il was found impossible
to control the whistle until after il
had caused any amount of excitement.

SHIPPING APPLES
AND BUCKWHBAT

II auy person labors under the tlelu
sion that tie apple crop Is not large
one this year he should pay visit to
South Danville, where a car load made
mp OF all varieties is being shipped
away each day OF the week.
As a matter Of fact on Saturday four
carloads were shipped, while during
each day this week at least one car
will be placed on the siding to be
loaded with apples. II is'understood
that at least eight cars will be ship
ped this week.
The apples come from over wide
radius taking in Montour aud large
portion of Northumberland counties.
No finer specimens of fruit were ever
seen than are loaded on the cars at
South Danville. All varieties Of ap-
plies are embraced but .thoseIwhich are
exceptionally fine are Rambos, Smoke
house, Baldwins andsGreenings. With
very rev exceptions they are picked
apples and are very sound and healthy
in appearance.
The firm that is doing the shipping
is l. Shafer and Son. off Pittsburg,
whose agent buying up apples passed
through this section some weeks ago
The price paid is said to be ] cent per
pound or fifty cents per bushel for
picked apples and twenty cents per
bushel for dropped apples
The loading of the cars presents a
very interesting sight. The apples are
loaded in bulk, each car being furnish
ed with bins to hold the different var
ieties Each car approximately con-
tains 500 bushels OF the four car
loads shipped Saturday three went TO
Pirtsburg and one to Illinois II is
worthy OF note that-apples are being
shipped from Wolverton,a a station this
side of Sunbury, in numbers nearly as
great as at South Dauville
Charles Mills, who has charge OF the
freight house at the South Danville
station, is literally working over time
to take care of the enormous shipment
being made over the Pennsy. Not only
apples. but also buckwheat, which is
an exceptionally heavy crop this year,
is helping to overtax the shipping
facilities. One shipment of buckwheat
alone comprised three cars loaded to
the roof.
Almost any day now the siding con-
tains as it were a train of cars receiv-
ing and unloading merchandise and is
altogether an impressive object lesson
to show, not only the agricultural re
sources of this locality, but also the
Importance of South Danyille as a
shipping centre. Incredible as il may
seem. the account of cars received and
forwarded kept in the freight house
show that forty cars and upwards are
handled each day at South Danville.
The shipment Of sand adds very much
to the volume Of business at this a.
we'll as other seasons Of the year

Advertiug 70 the many lives lost in
our coal mines the Phoeuixville Daily
Republican SAYS: tThe loss of life in
the mines IN Pennsylvania last year
was about one thousand. This blood
cost is due almost altogether to the
carelessness of the miners and the
companies operating the mines. There
is nothing to commend mining as a
desirable occupation. Lives and health
are sacrificed to the darkness, and
damp and gloom. No man can live a
happy and vigorous life without
plenty of Gods sunshine and fresh
air. But there is no reason why min
ing should be recorded as a particu!-
arly hazardous occupation so far as
the probability of accidents is con-
cerned, if reasonable precautions were
taken at all times. 4 human life now
and then in the mines attracts little
attention Dangerous walls and roots
are neglected, aud gases are ignored
until some great disaster draws the
attention of the public, but in such
cases no one suggests that stringent
measures should be taken TO prevent
another such catastrophe. -

AN AGED FATHERS
DEVOTION TO son

4 case of devotion which stands
alone was brought to light yesterday
morning when john Paxo, a Mt. Car
mel man aged 77 years, walked to Sha-
mokin, and, half frozen, stopped at a
public house and asked that he be al
lowed TO get warmed before continu-
ing his journey to Sunbury, where a
sick son awaited him. The proprietor,
of n sympathetic nature. questioned
the aged man and learned that he in
tended to walk to the county seat
Plying the old fellow, he offered him
money to buy ticket, but the man,
proud even in his poverty, politely but
firmly refused to take it, saying that
he would willingly work for the mo-
ney but that he could not accept it
otherwise. The unfortunate then sug-
gested that he be given some wood to
chop. Touched by the aged one devo-
tiOn Mr.. Yozorskie would not hear of
such a thing and after much persuas-
ion finally succeeded in having the
man take the necessary fund to see
him to Sunbury.

DESIGNS FOR

Affairs relating to the soldiers

Plans are on foot, which provide for
the construction Of foundation this
fall, the completion of the memorial
early next summer with unveiline ex-
ercises. ON July attn. to be the distinE.

ment committee took place on Friday
night In addition 90 Hon James
Foster. chairman, aud Sam A Mccoy,
secretary, there were present Jacob Q.
Miller, II W Eggert. W. L. Mcclure
and Frank G. Schoeh.
The object of the meeting was to ex-
anime the plans or designs submitted.
OF the latter there were less than a
dozen but without exception they were
beautiful and well adapted to the spot
where our monument is to stand, one,
especially. a stately memorial, much
out of the ordinary, in design appeal
ed to the committee very strongly and
no doubt when it comes to a final
selection it win have the preference.
1t was thought that a design might
be selected on Friday night but dur
ing the meeting il was decided that
haste is not necessary in the premises
and that in order to do full justice 70
the matter the committee had better
take plenty of time, obtaining esti-
mates as TO the relative cost Of the
different designs and looking into 9TH
er matters Of importance.
On motion it was decided to proceed
at once with the construction OF the
foundation. the contract being award
ed to T. L. Evans Sons. The eXcava-
tion. which may be ten feet or more
in depth, will be pushed TO compile
tion at once, the ground obtained be-
ing utilized in grading the park.
The foundation viii be Of concrete
and will be twenty-five feet square
After some two feet Of concrete are
laid work on the foundation will be
suspended until next spring, when
something definite will be known a.
to the kind Of memorial 70 be bui!t
and the foundation can be finished 10
met the especial requirements.
The committee will at once busy it.
self with the selection Of a design aud
looking after the financial end of tie
proposition. As soon a. q design is
selected the contract will be awarded
and work on the memorial will be
pushed along during the winter and
early summer.

Rabbits Plentiful but Small in Size.

Rabbits Plentiful but Small in Size
Local sportsmen who have been out
cunning as we'll as farmers through
out the county, who have abundant
opportunity to observe, seem unanim-
Gus in the opinion, that there is no
real scarcity of rabbits, although they
may not be so plentiful as during
some other seasons. They nearly all
agree, however that rabbits are small
that is, that they have not yet at
tanned their full growth. The latter
could seem to bear out the opinion
prevailing in many places that the
season as fixed by the present law
opens too early.
Wild turkeys seem scarce. None of
our local hunters, have as yet, sue
oeeded in bagging one. What is more
significant. however, no one yet this
season has reported seeing wild tur-
keys.
Coon hunting is the order of the
day among young farmers. Coons are
always fairly plentiful but it requires
an experienced hunter and good dog
to capture one.
John Robinson and son Clarence of
Mooresburg, aided by capable dog,
got fine coon on Thursday night.
They treed the animal about 10 O'Clock
and in order to make sure of their
game staid up with the coon all night.
When the first streak of dawn reveal
ed the whereabouts of the coon among
the branches the little animal was
brought down from the tree by the
trusty aim Of Clarence's gun.
