nARATHONED FROM
HERE TO SHAMOkI>

A we'll known Shomokin couple ar.
rived in that town Friday evening,
footsore and weary, after hike from
Dsuville. The young couple decided
to take in the Odd Fellows excursion
to Danville last Tuesday and were in
the crowd when the p. & y. special
pulled out of Shamokin for Danville,
says the Shamokin Herald.
They saw the parade and bought
candy, peanuts and novelties during
the day aud at eventide wandered to
the station TO board the return train.
At this stage the young man discover
ed that his pockets had been picked of
all his money ant the two railroad
tickets. The dilemma was oommuni-
Gated to the girl and they both decid-
ed to remain for good substantial rea
sons in Danville until Friday.
Friday they made up their minds to
return to Shamokin il they had to
walk. Bright and early they started
on the Marathon and reached their
home town late Friday night, almost
exhausted. but happy.

NEMESIS OF MAIL
ORDER BUSINESS

To no other branch of his business
does the town merchant give less at
tentiUn than to mis- advertising, while,
as matter of fact, no other part of
his business requires more attention,
says the Anti Mail Order Journal.
The people who read the local coun-
try papers read them more thoroughly
than those who read the metropolitan
papers. They read the advertisement of
John Smithers, dealer in dry goods,
furniture, etc. But that is not all.
1t is dull reading and makes no i'm
preston upon the mind of the reader.
There is nothing new or sensational,
not thrill or emotion. in hundred
pages of it, so it Is passed by almost
unnoticed. The reader may want some
thing in the dry goods or furniture
line, but there is nothing in the cold,
unweloome sort of general invitation
ad. to make him feel that John Smith
ers really is the man he wants to buy
from.
La another paper or magazine he

SENTENCED
TO Be HANGED

Henry Fisher, convicted of killing
Mrs. Sarah Klinger, was sentenced to
he hanged by Judge Savidge Mou-
day.
Fisher as we'll as the woman killed
was resident of Shamokin. The muI-
der, which took place over year ago,
was an especially cold -blooded and
brutal one. Fisher after being con-
victed, it will be recalled, was ad
judged insane aud brought to the hos
pital at this place Many thought that
he was feigning insanity at all events
after being incarcerated for short
time he was removed TO the Jail at
Sunbury.
Fishers case was taken to the sup
RENE court, bat the lower court was
sustained. Accordingly sentence was
passed Monday afternoon.
Fisher was commanded by Judge
Savidge TO arise ana he complied in a
stoicai, Unconditional manner. The court
asked him If he had anything 10 say
why sentence should not be passed up.
on him II replied that he had moth
ing to say beyond the fact that he
was not guilty. "
Judge Savidge informed him that he
had received a fair trial and that a
jury of twelve men had adjudged him
guilty of murder in the ir:t degree.
Then in due and legal form Judge
Savidge pronounced the sentence OF
death. The silence was intense ana the
words of the judge could be heard in
every part of the court room as he in
formed Fisher that he was TO be
hanged by the neck until lie was
dead

UMBRELLA MAN
A SNEAK THIEF

During the last two or three weeks
our town has been overrun with "um-
brella menders". That this ragged and
shiftless fraternity embraces in it's
ranks the boldest class of sneak thieves
was demonstrated Saturday. when one
an umbrella men in daylight entered
the premises of Robert j. Pegg on
Bloom street and stole new umbrella
from the porch.
A member of the household caught
a glimpse of the thief aud would have
been able to identity him had he been
caught. Mr.. Pegg Immediately notifi-
ed the police, giving some description
of the man.
Two men were arrested on suspicion
and placed In the lookup. Neither Of
the fellows was identified as the thief
and they were both finally discharged.
They took their arrest philosophically,
quite as a matter of course, leaving
one to infer that they were used to
such episodes.
That large proportion of these um
hreila members are rank villains in
disguise no one can doubt who will
take the pains to size them up. Never
theless, as under the law they are Civ
en- the baueft of all doubts, there
seems to be nc power to exclude them
from town and they will probably con.
tinue to come as often and remain as
loug as they desire.
In self protection our citizens should
turn cold shoulder OH the itinerary
umbrella members, remembering that
Danville has in its midst we'll deserv.
lug people who make speciality OF
such work as the umbrella mem per.
form.

LARGE GLASS
WAS CONFIRMED

The Rt. Rev. j. w. Shanahan, bis
hop of the diocese of Harrisburg, made
visitation to st. Joseph's parish,
this city, Sunday. On the occasion
lie administered the sacrament of con-
firmation to a class of eighty y-seven.
The official visit of a bishop is niade
every three years. The last visitation
was made on May 18th, 1906. on which
occasion a large class was confirmed.
In addition to administering the
sacrament of confirmation on these
official visits'the bishop investigates
all departments closely, inquiring in
t. the spiritual cond'ti of the parish
as we'll as into it's temporal affairs. He
very carefully goes over the books -
the baptismal. death. census and 9TH
er records, including the day book
and ledger.
Sunday the bishop preached at
the early and late mass. The latter
sermon delivered at l0sa. M, was n
formal one on the Virtue OF Faith. -
The address was most instructive. The
virtue of faith, the bishop said, is the
most necessary of all virtues. It is a
gift OF God. Faith is the acceptance
Of truth of Divine revelation. the word
Of God. We do not acquire faith by
reason OF knowledge. Faith is the aG-
ceptance Of supernatural truths on the
word of God st. Paul says With
out faith it is impossible to please
God. -
The sacrament of confirmation was
administered at p. III. Preceding
aud after the sacrament the bishop
spoke very beautifully to the little
children, first explaining the sacra.
ment of confirmation and afterward
telling them of the great gift that God
had that day given them. The Holy
Ghost with His seven-fold blessing had
descended into their hearts and il
was theirs to take and preserve the
fruits OF this sacrament. He also gave
the parents advice diminishing them
to labor zeslously to edify their chill.

Entangled in the bushes along the
shore of the Susquehanpa river the
body of foreigner was discovered at
Selinsgrove yesterday morning. the
gruesome discovery was made by Peter
Muselmsn. of Selinsgrove, at O. clock,
as he was polling fiat over the river.
He saw in the bush near the barn of
Jacob Mitterling a floating object
which he thought was log. The riv-
er is high and the bushes ordinarily
on shore were we'll under water, so
that only their branches protruded.
Mr.. Musselman procured assistance
and took the body to shore. 1t was
carried to the undertaking establish
ment of George Livingston, where it
is now held. A coroner's jury was
empanelled to determine the cause of
death.
The man was middle aged aud
heavy set foreigner. He was without
a coat, but in his pockets was gold
watch and a ten cent piece. A button
on his clothes showed that the suit
was made in Lewisburg. He had a
gold ring OH his finger.
There is little doubt but that the
man is John Bullock, Pole who leap
ed into the swollen waters of the West
Branch at Milton, April Is. He acted
with deliberation, taking off his coat
and hat before making the fatal
plunge. The river was dragged for
lis body but it had evidently floated
down stream as it could not be found.
The man originally came from Dan
Vile where his brother lives. He had
saved up large sum of money from
his earnings. which was stolen from
his shack at Milton He became mel
anchulv and while partially under the
influence Of liquor leaped into the riv-
er.
