Many Lives We're Saved

The State department of health has
saved many more lives among the poor
of Pennsylvania by the free distribu-
tion Of diphtheria antitoxin as shown
by the records of the cases thus treat
ed during the first six months of 1907.
During that period the death rate
from diphtheria among the cases treat
ed with the State antitoxin was only
eight per cent, as compared with eleven
per cent. for the first six months of
1906. Health Commissioner Dixon at.
tributed this very largely to the fact
that the physicians throughout the
State are now using the antitoxin
earlier and in more liberal doses.
During the first six months of 1907
there were l,7l2 cases of diphtheria in
Pennsylvania treated by the antitoxin
supplied free of charge by the depart
ment of health's five hundred distri-
buting stations. Out of this number
$50 persons, nearly all little children,
were restored to health and strength.
During this same period also, 1,073
persons were treated with the States
antitoxin in immunizing doses and the
records show that of this number only
eighteen contracted the disease.
The great work that Pennsylvania is
doing in saving the lives of the chill
dren of poor people who could not
afford to buy antitoxin when their lit
tie ones are stricken with diphtheria
has attracted attention all over the
country, and the health commissioner
is continually receiving letters from
other states asking information as to
the methods of distribution pursued by
his department.

Fine Snenimen of Wheat.

Ezra Woodside, manager of the
Bowden farm, Rush township, Fri
day brought to the Morning News the
finest specimens of wheat that have
been seen by the News staff in long
while. There were eight heads averag-
ing inches in length and fully de-
veloped. Mr.. Woodside states that his
wheat crop this year is the finest that
he has ever had. This is rather re-
markable statement in view of the
fact that crops generally are supposed
to be most backward this season.

GUARDSMEN'S
Week In CAMP

Company f. Twelfth regiment N.
G. p, sixty members strong, all in
good health and happy, notwithstand-
ing their heavy drills, 'hike" and
sham battles, arrived at South Dan
Vile on the 2 :21 Pennsylvania train,
Saturday afternoon.
Not only were the men strong and
vigorous on their return home, but
there was not an accident nor q single
case of illness in the company during
the week in camp. The usual interest
attached to the return of the boys and
not only were the guardsmen them
selves glad to get home again but they
found the usual pleasant and general
welcome extended, revealing that our
townspeople feel warm interest in
the national guard and that what sacri
fees the members are called upon to
make from time to time in its behalf
are by no means in vain. The same
applies to Bloomsbury and Catawissa,
where some of those that belong to
company f reside. AS a matter of fact
about fifteen members of Company +
reside out of town. These left Dan
Vile on the 3 80 trolley car Saturday
afternoon bound for their homes in
Bloomsbury and Catawissa. The same
pleasant greeting that they found in
Danville was accorded to them all the
way between the latter point and their
homes.
The mmbers of the company, while
pleased with their weeks experience
in camp, do not hesitate to affirm that
they found the work hard. The en-
ergy, however, they feel was we'll ap-
piled, as never before has any camp
afforded such an opportunity for gain
ing knowledge concerning actual war
| fare The hike" and the sham bat
tie with the drills on advance and rear
guard, extended order, ETC.. the mem
bers declare, were of incalculable
value and have afforded to them an
insight into real war that has the bet
ter enabled them to appreciate the real
seriousness and the responsibility that
belong to membership in the nation
al guard.
Among those who conducted the
drills was Lieutenant Fitch, a rough
rider and an experienced fighter, vers.
ed in modern warfare. In the sham
battle, an imaginary enemy was en-
trenched; the forces of the guardsmen
were arranged as in real battle and all
the known tactics were employed that
are used to make successful attack
and minimize loss in killed, wound
ed and prisoners.
1t has become plain that the old
form of encampment is thing of the
past Under the new order there will
be more field work with briagde, regi,
mental and company drills.

OLD TREES FALLING
UNDER THE AXE

The three fine old trees in front of
J. H. Goeser's property, Centre street,
which have swayed in the tempest
and cast their refreshing shadows
down on the thoroughfare for the
greater part of century, are being
cut done to make room for a modern
concrete pavement.
The trees are three in number-one
buttonwood and two naples standing
in front of the Askins homestead now
the property of Mr.. Goeser. They
are veritable giants towering far
above the housetops. 1t is practicable
to removed the trees only by cutting
them down in sections, first removing
the limbs and lastly the trunk Even
employing this method much care has
to be exercised lest the buildings, the
telephone or electric light wires be
damaged.
To assist in looking after the wires
Borough Electrician Smith was on
the ground yesterday and rendered
valuable assistance. In addition a
large crowd was present and advice
rendered to the workmen as to how to
proceed was as plentiful as it was free
The first big tree next to Mr. Goeser' S
warehouse was removed and the trunk
extracted from the sidewalk on Thurs
day The second tree. or the big but
tonwood, was practically gotten out
of the way Friday.
What adds special interest to the
trees is their great age The Oldest
persons living in the neighborhood
have only the merest traditions as to
when they were planted. Michael
Powers, who is considerably over
ninety years of age and has lived fol
the greater part of his life literally
in the shadow of the fine old trees,
says he has no knowledge of when
they were planted. They were there
when he took up his residence ON the
street. He has known the trees sixty
and odd years. Mr.. Powers remarked
yesterday that he always understood
that the three trees, which actually
stand on the sidewalk, grew naturall,
at that spot and were there before the
street was laid out.
One of Danville's especial charm
lies in its beautiful trees, which il
many parts of town stand in statel,
rows, imparting to the streets in sum
mer an inviting and sylvan appearance
that is sure to appeal to the stranger
One can not help but regard with re
gret the tendency TO get rid OF a
many of these trees as possible, thu
destroying with few strokes of tn
axe what beneficent nature with it
unbounded resources was able to pro
luce only in the span of human life
In the case of the three trees il
question, however, as viewed by thos
living near by, there is a pretty goo'
excuse for removing them. Although
apparently sound, owing to their mas
sive limbs and great height no on
., knows what to expect in case a storr
or uuusu'.i --:~i~-ce was co strike TN
town. The shade, too, at that partio
ular point is regarded by some as
little too dense to contribute to healt
full conditions. Nevertheless, the roy
of fine trees will be much missed TO
awhile, even though concrete pave
ment as a modern improvement take
their place.

Child Of Twelve Foils a Burglar.

Frightened by a twelve-year-old
girl.a big burly robber, who had pack
ed all the silverware in the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs Elwood Knouse, of
Jackson township, Columbia county,
in a bag, and was about to decamp, left
hurriedly, and in his excitement forgot
too take the bag with him. The silver
is valued at 5000, and included many
valuable pieces of silverware.. His
identity has not been learned.
The Knouses on last Friday went
away to spend the day. and their
twelve. -year-old daughter, Miss Eliza
beth, remained with a neighbor until
they should return to the house. She
went home early in the evening, and
seeing the side window open, she went
to it and called out: Papa" but in
stead the big form of man appeared
in the window.
She was very much frightened, and
started to run the burglar at the same
time also started to run, and it was
thought that he, too, was very much
frightened.
The child went to the neighbor's s
home. and gave the alarm. When they
returned no trace of the man could be
found. He had gained an entrance
through theiwindow, and on table in
the centre of the room was burlap
bag in which the silverware had been
tied.
She said she was too frightened to
remember his face, but that the man
was very big and had moustache.

If Buffalo Bill thought that Water bury money was the tainted" kind last Friday, when he kept the people waiting from until o'clock before he started his performance and then picked up his tent at 6:3O and skid dooed out of town after advertising to give us another performance in the evening?

But that was carrying the joke too far, and when he offered more pay they said his money was 'stainted" because 'taint" enough. That settled it and he couldn't do as he advertised.

The so-called quarter was made of lead and could be wlittled to pieces with pocket knife. He was turned over to the detective bureau. The of fense is something which is usually handled by the federal officers, but it also comes under the Jurisdiction of the state.
