"At the Jail we recommend that the
sheriff's Office be papered and that the
iron work be painted; also that the
Jail be lighted with electricity; that
the cement floor be repaired where
needed and that small table be pur-
chased for one of the cells.
1--WE recommend that the county
commissioners of Montour county ar
range with the county commissioners
of Northumberland county to divide
the river bridge into two sections and
that each county keep in proper repair
its separate section.
1--WE also recommend that retain
ing wall be built between the bridge
and the water works. -

SHOT POULTRY THIEF

Mrs. James Gotshall of South Dan
Vile ON Tuesday night rid the COM
munity of a dangerous poultry thief
incidentally she demonstrated that a
woman can be as good marksman as
a man.
For some time the residents of the
south side had been missing poultry,
Mrs. Gotshall especially being a heavy
loser.
On Tuesday night Mrs Gotshall was
home alone with her little son. About
10 O'Clock she heard the chickens in
her yard cackling and making a great
noise. She determined to investigate
and seizing the toy rife of % calibre
belonging to her little son she rushed
out to the hennery.
Upon opening the door she was con
fronted with two fiery eyes. which
was all she could see in the darkness.
Instinctively raising the gun she blaz-
ed away, shooting four times.
When light was produced it was
discovered that the chicken thief was
an opossum, considerably bigger than
a house cat, which lay ON the ground
dead, each of the shots having taken
| effect.

FIELDS BARE

Notwithstanding the coating of ice

FOURTEEN INCH ICE

Cutting ice ON the river was in full
swing yesterday. John Jacobs Sons
had several teams hauling from the
river at the foot of Ferry street The
ice was generally of good quality, of
from twelve to fourteen inches in
thickness.
J. l.. Kline, A. NJ. Peters and Theo-
dore Hoffman were cutting ice farther
up stream, at the foot of Mowrey
street. The ice obtained at that point
has never been surpassed by any har-
vested in the vicinity of Danville.
The ice is the thickest that has
formed ON the river in the five years
since the great ice gorges occurred.
The water is still comparatively low.

FREE WATER
FOR CHURCHES

At the request of the borough solic-
itor the preliminary step for the legal
establishment of the disputed bound
ary line between the borough of Dan
Vile and the township of Mahoning
was taken by council at its regular
meeting last night
On motion of Mr.. Everhart the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted;
Whereas all efforts to amically ascer-
tain and establish the disputed lines
or boundaries between the borough of
Danville and the township of Mahon-
ing have proved unavailing and in
etfectual and
Whereas, 1t is to the manifest in
terest of the said borough that such
lines and boundaries be leaglly ascer-
tanned and established without further
delay; therefore be it
Resolved by the town council that
the chief burgess and secretary of said
borough be hereby authorized, en-
powered and directed for and as the
official act of said council and borough
to sign, execute, serve and deliver all

other papers and legal process and do
whatever else may be found necessary
and proper to be done in the foregoing
premises.
a petition representing five different
churches and signed by members of
church boards, councils, trustees and
vestrymen was presented to council
last night praying that the borough
furnish the churches the water they
need free of cost, thereby encouraging
congregations i'll their work for the
general good of the community.
On motion it was ordered that the
borough furnish the churches proper
the water they need free of cost.
On motion it was ordered that legal
notice be served ON the Danville and
Sunbury Transit company to remove

SCHOOL BOARD
IN SESSION

1t developed at the regular meeting
of the school board Monday that ov-
ercrowding in the third ward schools
has not proven to be such weighty
factor as was expected. 1t will not be
necessary to employ an extra teacher
nor even to transfer pupils to any con-
siderable extent.
Overcrowding in Miss Lawrence $
room, it was believed, would result
from the influx of small children who
had reached the school age by the
holidays The reports of the schools
taught by Miss Lawrence and Miss
Boudman were produced at the meet
ing to show that the number of pupils
is we'll within the limit. The average
attendance in Miss Lawrence's room
is 42. The average attendance in Miss
Boudman S room is Al. 1t was the
could be transferred from Miss Law
rence's room to Miss Boudman's room,
if such measure should prove to be
necessary. Borough Superintendent
Dieffenbacher, however, stated that he
did not think i'll view of present con-
ditions that Miss Lawrence will have
any difficulty in taking care of all the
pupils enrolled in her room.
Mr.. Fischer complained that in some
of the schools of the borough the prac-
tice of raising the windows is indulg-
ed in to an extent that proves harmful
to the pupils. a good many cases of
earache and bad colds have resulted.
The matter will be brought to the at
tention of the teachers by the borough
superintendent.
The furnaces of the fourth ward
school building were reported as in
adequate to meet the demands. 1t was
the sense of the board that it would
not be practicable to install new fur
naces at this time of year and the fur
naces at present in use will have to
answer until the end of the term.
The following members were pres
ent: Sechler, Orth, Sidler, Swarts,
Burns, Pursel, Fischer, Heiss and Cole.
The following bills were approved

MILK LICENSES
ARE UNPAID

The matter of collecting the milk Ii
cense from the dairymen under the
rules and regulations at present in
force is giving the board of health no
little concern. From what can be learn
ed the dairymen object to the rules
and regulations relating to the license
and that as a consequence during the
present year they have refused to pay
the license fee.
Section of the rules and regula-
tions provides that no person, firm or
corporation shall sell cream or milk in
the borough of Danville without first
annually before the first day of March,
making application to the board Of
health, which application shall set
forth the name and route of the dairy
man, the owner of and location of the
dairies and such other information re-
lating to the production and care of
cream and milk as may be deemed
necessary by the board of health. In
addition to making said application,
which is to constitute an agreement
for faithful compliance, the dairymen
are required to obtain from the board
of health license to carry on the
business, which license shall be dis
played in every wagon from which
milk and cream is sold, the fee for
said license to be $40 per annum.
Back of the rules and regulations of
the board of health is the borough or
dinance, which provides that every
person selling milk or cream on the
streets of Danville shall take out an
annual license of $40. The section pro-
vides that any person violating this
provision shall be restrained as the law
directs and shall also forfeit and pay
a fine of not less than two dollars nor
more than ten dollars for each and ev-
cry such Offense.
The milk license has always been a
source of more or less contention. AS
far back as when it was collected by
the borough, under the ordinance
dairymen, who denied that they pur-
chased milk from other dairies, claim
ed exemption from the payment of Ii
cense on the ground that they sold no
milk or cream but was of their own
production. The milk licenses
were generally collected, however, un-
I'll the present rules and regulations of
Al, II ,T L.,
During the year beginning March
l, 1909, we are informed by the secre-
tary of the board of health, no milk
license has been paid. The dairymen
who claim that they sell milk of their
own production only refuse to comply.
Others who object to this discrimina-
tion refuse to pay license until all
pay. while still others withhold pay
mcnt on the broad ground that the
rules and regulations as they apply to
milk license are unjust and of ques-
tionable legality.
Such seems to be the status. Obvi-
ously "A clash is pending. Council de
clares that under the present Law it
has nothing to do with the collecting
of the milk licenses-that it is a mat
ter which is wholly up to the board
of health. The latter body up to the
present has not assumed any such re-
sponsibility, but has held that the bor-
ough council is back of it and must
take the initiative in adopting what
ever measures may be necessary to
collect the overdue milk licenses. De-
velopments in the matter will be
watched with good deal of interest.

by Joseph Baylor against Mahoning

bonds the defendant township through
its supervisors duly petitioned the
county commissioners to make applica-
tion to the State highway department
for the cooperation of the State in the
reconstruction of the highway leading
from Danville to the Valley township
line near Mausdale, lying within the
defendant township, said supervisors
agreeing to assume for it, the said de-
fendant, its proportionate share Of the
expense.
In pursuant of said application the

its proportionate share of the cost and
expense the defendant on Oct. 5, 1904,
duly issued its series of ten certain
bonds of the denomination and par
value of 800 each, and i'll the aggre-
gate sum of $1,000.
That since their issue and prior to
their maturity the plaintiff purchased

official and proper representatives at
that time Nos. Z, s, . and 10, respect
lively of the series of bonds at their

That of the said bonds, Nos. I and
s We're redeemable after Oct. /, 1908,
and Nos. 8 and 10 after October 1,
1909, at the pleasure of the supervisors
and payable with interest at the rate
of four and one-half per centum,
That the defendant through its Off
cial representatives has paid to the
plaintiff the first years interest, but
that neither it, they, nor their sue
cessors in office have ever redeemed or
attempted to redeem and pay the said
four bonds, Nos. Z, 8, 8 and 10, resp
ectively, or any more interest on them
whatsoever.
That the said defendant through it's
supervisors duly and legally levied a
special road tax of one mill and des-
ignated it as the road improvement
tax" for the express purpose of re-
deeming and paying the said bonds
and loans secured thereby and that the
said defendant has now on hand sutlici-
ent available money and funds to pay
the said plaintiffs entire claim.
That all of the four bonds. Nos :,
s, 9 and 10, respectively, are now due
and payable that since their maturity
the plaintiff has duly demanded their
payment with interest Int that the
defendant through its official and
proper representatives has refused to
pay to the plaintiff the aggregate de-
nomination and par value of said
bonds or any part thereof or any in
terest still due.

AS most appropriate gift at this

bells.
Rev. Kohler is the possessor of a
horse, but his congregation thought
his equipment needed a sleigh and
forthwith voted the money for the
purchase. They got the finest cutter
that money could buy. The pastor is
