A Crusade on kerchew.

That detestable preparation, Ker
chew, has been put under the ban by
the authorities of this town, and from
now on any person using the concoc-
tion, or even selling it, will do so at
the risk of settling up.
Yesterday Burgess Rogers issued
orders that any one detected selling or
distributing Kerchew should be arrest
ed, and Chief of Police Mincemoyer
stated that he would carry out the
order to the letter.
The use of the stuff, which at first
was taken as a sort of poor joke, has
come, with the increasing prevalence
of it's use, to be an abomination. One
is not safe from it anywere. In the
stores, barber shops, restaurants-in
fact anywhere that the fool killer can
get-there you will find it. Monday
evening the practice reached the clim-
ak when an audience in one of the
moving picture shows was compelled
to leave in the midst of performance
on account of the stuff.

Pulled Boy Out of Pond.

The iron workers at the Danville
rolling mill yesterday afternoon effect
ed thrilling rescue, when with ropes
they pulled boy from the swampy
pond just opposite the mill.
The boy. whose name could not be

The boy tried to wade ashore, but
finding himself unable TO make head.
way on the muddy and treanherous
bottom of the old pond, he became
terrified and was wallowing about
with the mud and water up to his arm

heard by the men at the mill.
They quickly procured ropes and
hauled the lad from the pond. As soon
as his feet touched the shore he turn
ed from his rescuers and ran off as
fast as his legs would carry him.

At the Approach of the Fourth.

With but two weeks intervening be-
tween this and the Fourth of July, the
time has about arrived for the annual
admonition against the sale or use of
the noisy articles of celebration before
the appointed day.
Each year the small boy, and some
times his elder brother, is anxious to
begin the observance of the nation s
birthday several days early and to con-
tinue the same several days after the
Fourth has passed.
There is always more or less danger
to life, limb and property in the fiery
enthusiasm of the Fourth, so the bor-
ough fathers have seen fit to enact a
law that fireworks and fire crackers
may not be sold until the day preced-
ing July 4th., and that they may not
be exploded until the great day itself
arrives.
Burgess Rogers, therefore. announces
that the ordinance will this wear, as
in the past, be strictly enforced.

BUCC|ES collide
WHEN AUTO PASSES

North Mill street was thrown into
state of intense excitement Sunday even
ing about 7 O'Clock when an automo-
bile. coming down the street, terrified
a horse attached to buggy, and caus-
ed miX-up that for a while threat
ened the most disastrous results.
The car was on its way to Northum-
berland aud taking the pave at a speed
well within the borough limit. When
the car arrived opposite Coles hard
ware store a buggy driven by John
Heller and containing beside himself,
Miss Lulu Yeager, both of Mausdale,
arrived at the First National BANK cor
ner.
AT sight of the auto Mr.. Heller's
horse became terrified and plunging
to one side. collided with the buggy of
Frank Boyer, Jr., which was standing
in front of Paules drug store.
In Mr.. Boyer's buggy was his son.
Irwin, lad of g. The impact was of
such force that the boy was thrown
over the dash board, and falling upon
the horse and thence to the paved
street, he suffered severe injuries that
for while were thought to be of a
critical nature. After he had recover
ed somewhat from the shock it was
found that the extent of his casualties
were badly wrenched back and a
scraped arm.
In the other buggy Miss Yeager suf-
fered the only harm. The top of the
Boyer buggy struck her in the face,
causing a laceration of the lip and a
slight dislocation of the nose.
The car was mum bered 5311 and from
the "List of licenses, issued to operat-
ors of motor vehicles by the State
highway department., it was ascer-
tanned that the owner is Charles K.
Eagle, of Shamokin.
When the accident occurred the car
was stopped and the occupants went
to the aid of the injured persons. The
operator was not held as he was run
ming his machine entirely within the
limits of the law.

Iron loulders' Successful Picnic.

The third annual iron moulders'
picnic, held at DeWitt's park Satur-
day, was pronounced the most success
full, both socially and financially, of
any of the outings held by the union.
The game between Springfield and
Danville and the dancing, both after
noon and evening furnished those in
attendance with plenty of amusement,
while the big crowd totally depleted
the refreshment stands several times
during the day. The event was not
marred by any accident.
In the morning the moulders, sixty
strong and headed by the Mechanics
vile band, marched to the park, after
parading the principal streets of the
town. The hacks were kept busy all
day transporting people to and from
the park, and it was late in the even
ing when the last of the pleasure seek
ers had returned.

FIND affects
D|ETR|CH'S Case

An interesting and rather startling
discovery has been made that will like
ly have bearing of some consequence
on the case of Peter Dietrich. who was
charged with the killing of 'Corky"
Jones, and who has undergone trial
for the third time in the courts of
Montour county.
Recently Dietrich gave to Adam W.
Mayan, of this city, the power of at
torney, to take charge of his property.
On Friday, Mr. Maysn, with Theodore
Doster and Fred Mayan, were at Die
trich's hotel appraising the goods.
In the bar room, on a shelf behind
the bar, they found a revolver. The
weapon was in a cigar box and had
four chambers loaded and in one an
empty she'll. 1t was not a self-cocking
revolver.
At the trial two revolvers figured in
the testimony. One for which. it was
contended by the Commonwealth, Die
trich had gone into 1.-The other room"
a short time before the shooting; and
another which was in the bar room all
during the evening and which upon
examination later was pronounced un-
loaded.
1t is now claimed that the revolver
found Friday is the weapon with
which Dietrich did the shooting, and
inasmuch as it had but one chamber
empty the find may have bearing on
two very important contentious of the
Commonwealth in the several trials.
If, as will likely be contended, Die
trich did the shooting with the weapon
found on Friday, then Jones was not
killed with revolver for which it
was necessary to go into 1.-The other
room. " Also, if the shooting was
done with the recently discovered
weapon, then there were not two shots
fired, but only one, as the revolver had
but one empty chamber Both of these
conclusions, if true, would lessen the
possibility of premeditation.

Care of the Children.

Words of President Roosevelt in one
of his recent speeches at Jamestown
deserve to be needed everywhere.
- As regards children, he said, lit
is essential to look after their physical
as well as their mental training. We
cannot afford to let children grow up
ignorant: and if they are sent to
school they cannot, while young, also
work hard outside without detriment
physical, mental and moral. There is
urgent need for the health authorities
to increase their care over the by
gienic conditions and surroundings of
children of tender years and especially
TO supervise those in the schools.
1T is a good thing to try to reform
bad children, to try to build up de-
generate children; but it is an even
better thing to try to keep healthy in
soul, body and mind those children
who are now sound, but who may
easily grow up unsound if no care is
taken of them.
1.-THE nations most valuable asset is
the children for the children are the
nation of the future All people alive
to the nations need should Join to-
gether to work for the moral, spiritu
al and physical welfare of the chill.
