Instead of fur there is now a muff
of white or pastel colored marabou,
which is to be carried at any formal
indoor function. 1t is not supposed to
give warmth or to be of any use. 1t
is merely an effective touch.
In it, as in most other muffs, there
is a wide pocket of satin which holds
the purse, the card case and the hand
kerchief. 1t is not very large, this mGI,
and it is so soft and fluffy that it goes
charmingly with a long sweeping in
door frock of some brilliant color.

TROLLEY COLLIDES
WITH ICE WAGON

A collision between J. L. Kline's
ice wagon and car on the Danville
& Sunbury line occurred on Mill
street Monday morning. Frank Helm
one of Kline's men narrowly escaping
serious injury.
The accident occurred in front of
Elias Maiers restaurant where Mr..
Kline was making delivery of ice.
The wagon was standing parallel with
the rails, facing down street. when
the team became frightened by the
noise Of the approaching car, and
backing, threw the front end of the
wagon directly over one of the rails.
Helm in an endeavor to avert collis-
ion sprang to the horses heads thereby
placing himself between the prancing
animals and the car The motorman
of the car threw on the reverse. but
on account of the recent passing of
the street sprinkler the rails were wet
and the wheels of the car slid. The
car struck the wagon a glaucing blow
breaking the scoop.

BOY UNDER
HORSES FEET

Residents in the vicinity of Walnut
and Railroad streets witnessed thrill
ing sight Monday afternoon when
the four year old son of Millard Cook,
in attempting to cross Walnut street,
was knocked down by the team attach
ed to the express wagon of Emery
Shultz and by seeming miracle saved
from being crushed to death by the
horses hoofs.
Mr. Cook, who resides near Grovau-
ia, had brought his family to town to
witness the entry Of the soldiers and
had taken position at the corner of
Bloom and Railroad streets The young
son of Mr.. Cook in company with two
playmates had gone to the candy store
of G. L. McClain to purchase some
candy. The little fellow. in hurry to
get back to see the soldiers, did not
notice Mr.. Shultz's express wagon ap-
preaching and unmindful of the driv-
er's cry of warning started across Wal
nut street, running directly under the
horses feet. Mr.. Shultz made a frantic
effort to stop the horses and succeeded
in bringing them to a standstill be-
fore the wheels OF the heavy wagon
touched the boy
In falling, the youngster in some
miraculous manner had succe eded in
clearing the front hoofs of the team
and when picked up was lying safely
under the horses hind feet, the amin
ais seeming to take care by standing
perfectly still not to harm him.
He was carried to the home of John
Doster where it was found that no
bones were broken, two short gashes

tent of the lads injuries

BRICK MAKING
PRACTICALLY OVER

Brick making. which due to the i'm
provements at the hospital for the in
sane has been leading industry dur
ing the summer, is likely to move at
a halting pace between the present.
and fall.
John Keim, who has the contract
for furnishing the rough or red brick
to Mosier & Summers, has made his
last delivery, having furnished over
twelve hundred thousand brick. This
is little less than figured on by the
contractors, the handmade brick pro-
duced by Mr.. Keim proving somewhat
larger than the machine-made PRO-
duct which were employed in the cal
culstions.
Embracing his fourfyards Mr.. Keim
had over sixty men employed up to
day or so ago. He expected to be kept
busy until October, but Messrs Mosier
& Summers have made such excellent
progress on the buildings that the
brickworz at this stage is practically
completed.
In order to keep pace with the pro-
gress of the work Mr.. Keim was OBJ
liged to nearly double his force of
men, in.addition to which he has had
a large number of teams employed in
hauling brick.
The brick delivered at the hospital
include. not only the buildings for the
insane, but also the new piggery, the
contract for which is also held by
Mosier and Summers. Now that the
hospital contractors are supplied Mr..
Keim finds himself with a surplus of
four hundred thousand brick on hand.
In view Of business conditions he does
not feel encouraged to pile mp much
larger stock and Mr.. Keim has been
Obliged to suspend a number of his
employees. He has hopes of selling
more brick, but it is doubtful wheth-
re he will resume on such large scale
any more during the present season.

THE HIGH SCHOOL
PROPOSITION

Riverside borough, it seems, has
about abandoned the idea of establish
ing a high school the present year and
in all probability the pupils of that
town eligible for the high school, like
those of Gesrhart township, will be
sent to Danville. Riverside has some
fourteen high school pupils. while
Gearhart township has twenty four.
A member of the Riverside school
board Tuesday stated that although
there is little likelihood of a high
school being established there this
year yet the idea has by 10 means been
abandoned and that high school is
something that will be pretty sure to
come to pass in the near future.

VALUABLE DOGS
PLACED IN PERIL

Several persons in Danville, owners
Of valuable dogs, are pursuing course
that will be pretty sure sooner or lat
er to result in the death of the highly
priced animals withIall the ill-feeling
and regret that may be relied upon to
attend such contingency.
The officers are sworn to do their
duty and one oil. their duties in the
present emergency is to enforce the
quarantine against dogs. They have
done their duty we'll in the premises
and because of their fidelity they have
been heartily commended,
Persons. who permit their dogs to
run at large with out being muzzled
can not but realize the risk they are
taking. That the officers make IAN
exception of their cases is not to be
supposed. II their dogs escape, there
fore, it is only by the merest chance.
There are a couple Of very valuable
dogs in town, which are permitted to
go upon the streets at pleasure, un-
muzzled. The officers would dread to
shoot either of them, yet they have de-
clared that if they were to meet the
unmuzzled dogs when properly armed
they would surely do their duty.
Thus the situation is apparent, 1t
would be an easy matter to obey the
quarantine, while by persistently vio-
Iating it man has nothing to gain
but turns a valuable and inoffending
animal ont where it is almost certain
to meet its death.
There seems to an erroneous impress
sion abroad that after a few weeks
there will be a let.up in the enforce
ment of the quarantine. At all events
many persons are becoming very care
less. Already during the present weeh
some half dozen dogs have been shot
by the police.
