arrangements held a meeting at the
court house Saturday evening.

tanned, also with the several railroads
and trolley lines to learn the rates.
Among the resorts that are under con-
sideration are Columbia park, Rolling
Green park, Edgewood park along with
DeWitt's park.
The committee on music was in
structed to confer with the different
bands and orchestras of this vicinity
Another meeting will be held Satur-
day evening, when the committees will
present their reports 1t is hoped that

BENTON WILL GET
ENTIRE PROCEEDS

Next Saturday evening, July 23rd,
has been chosen as the date for the
benefit concert which is to be given
here by the Orpheus Glee club for the
benefit of the people of Benton who
suffered almost overwhelming losses
in the disastrous fire which visited
that town on the Fourth of July.
The management of the affair has
been placed by the OIpheus Glee club
in the hands of Danville lodge, No.
754, B. P. o. Elks. A committee of
the lodge, composed of Ralph Kisner,
chairman, William Ellenbogen and
William J. Rogers,is is now actively en-.
gagged in promoting the event
The money which the Benton relief
committee is receiving is being put
into fund which will be apportloned
among those who when they saw their
homes fall a prey to the flames on In.
dependence Day, witnessed the extinc.
tion of the savings of life time.
| The town is showing remarkable
energy and determination in facing its
loss, and is, therefore, all the more
deserving of substantial aid The total
insurance of 800, 900 does not, at a
very conservative estimate, cover halt
of the actual loss
The entire proceeds of the concert
Saturday evening will go to Benton, as
there will be no expense attached to
the event. This is made possible by
the kindness of those who are furnish.
ing necessities to the committee free
of all cost.
The opera house has been rendered
free by Manager Edmondson, no pay
will be necessary for the out of town
| talent. the light will be furnished free
by the Standard Electric Light com
pany and the printing is being giver
by The Morning News.
1t has been decided by the Elks
committee to place the sale of ticket!
in the hands of the children of the
town as their share in the benefit. The
tickets will be distributed at the Office

HEAVY STORM

! The heaviest shower of the season
took place about four O. clock Saturday
afternoon. The rainfall was enormous,
while the wind was almost cyclonic
in its fury.
The shower approached from the
northwest and was accompanied with
vivid lightning and loud thunder. The
cutters were inadequate to carry off
the water and the pavements were
flooded; at many points the streets
were wholly under water. When the
water subsidized the sidewalks were
found covered with a deposit of mud
and gravel. On East Market street the
surface water poured into the old well
at the johnson property, which has
been abolished to make room for paw
ing. Before the rain the well had been
filled up level to the surface after
ward, the filling was found to have
sunk nearly ten feet and the we'll had
to be covered with plank to protect it,
In Rush township the storm was ac-
companied with hail. The greatest
damage was done by the wind and the
rain, which at places beat down the
oats and the corn level with the
ground. The corn, which is still vigor-
Gus, will undoubtedly rise, but the oats
which is nearly ready to cut, will re-

RETURN HOME

Tanned to the color of sole leather
as the effect of constant exposure to
the sun, but with quick and springy
step Notwithstanding the prolonged
marches each day Company F, Twelfth
Regiment, N. G. P, sixty strong,
came marching into town Monday,
after a weeks encampment with the
regular army at Gettysburg. ...s.
In common with the other Pennsyl-
vania commands the Twelfth regiment
pulled out of camp yesterday morning
arriving at Sunbury in time to enable
Company + to catch the Pennsylvania
train, east. due to arrive at South Dan
vile at 2:24 O'Clock. The guardsmen
marched to the armory where they
were disbanded.
Notwithstanding the intense heat
and the constant maneuvering there
were no cases of serious illness amoug
the members of Company + during the
week. Several were seized with at
tacks of cramp but prompt medical at
tendance availed to bring about speedy
recovery.
That the weeks experience at the
camp of instruction has been of great
value to the guardsmen all agree. The
duties, which were exacting and ardu-
Gus enough for all, did not spare the
officers by any means If anything the
10 hoI hn r,fi
instance is cited where the officers aft.

in the forenoon during the afternoon
were obliged to participate in speci.
al maneuver that required an addition.
al march of five miles. Fifteen miles
in such temperatures as prevailed last
week would have weighed heavily OH
the enlisted men and constituted a
gratuity that the officers did not covet.
Other marches of eight to twelve miles
were not unusual.
On the whole the work for the priv.
ates may have been little lighter
than experienced at some of the Ma.
tional Guard encampments, but the
camp of instruction was unique in
that the guardsmen were kept con.
tinually moving. Now that it is al

the highest commendation from the
officers of the regular army.
