NEW OWNERS
ARE IN CHARGE

The Montour house, this city, which
was recently purchased by Harry W.
Guyer and o. P. Rockefeller of Sun
bury, Mouday passed into the hands
of the new owners. During session
of court Monday afternoon the IL
cense was transferred from Ernest N.
Smith to Harry w. Guyer, who will
be in actual charge of the hotel.
Herman G. Johnson, who has been
in charge of the hostelry since it was
purchased by Ernest n. Smith, some
four months ago, Monday relinquish-
ed charge of the hotel, and after at
tending to some business details will
leave for his home in Chicago. Mr..
Johnson has proved one of the best of
landlords. BY his gentlemanly demean
or and uniform courtesy he has made
friends on every side. 1t is much to be
regretted that in the pursuit of his
calling he is obliged to bid Danville
adieu.
Mr.. Guyer Monday eve stated that
extensive improvements are contempt
ated at the Montour house. Just what
form these may ultimately assume he
could not say. The matter will be
placed in the hands of an architect at
once, who will determine what changes
are practicable. Remodeling will go
forward as speedily as possible.
Mr.. Guyer is one of the proprietors
of the Central hotel at Sunbury, and
his interests there will occupy him the
part of the time. He will, however,
maintain his residence at the Montour
house.

A NEW PHASE

The first sensation in the Krick
baum case since the hearing last Thurs
day was sprung in court at Blooms
burg Monday when Grant Herring,
Esq, presented the petition of Mrs
Charlotte Bickel asking that w. E.
Elmes, Esq, be appointed special dis
trict attorney to prosecute the Krick-
baum case and to draw the Indictment
in the case.
The petition alleges that Columbia
County District Attorney Small has
been private counsel for Krickbaum
and his close political friend and legal
adviser. The petition sets forth that
the interests of the commonwealth
would be endangered by having him
conduct the case and be given the in
formation.
The argument on the petition was
held before Judge Evans Tuesday
morning, District Attorney Small, be-
ing represented by Hon. H. NJ. Hinck-
ley, of this city. Judge Evans decided
that Mr.. Small should act as the dis
trict attorney for the prosecution

A TRUE BILL

William Krickbaum, Associate Judge
of Columbia county, lost his last
chance of avoiding trial on serious
charges preferred by Mrs. Charlotte
G. Bickle, of East street, in court at
Bloomsbury yesterday morning, when
the grand jury brought in true bill
on the indictment. 1t is said that he
hoped against hope that this body
would ignore the bill. The case was
passed upon by the jury shortly before
the noon hour and the form was re-
turned to the court.
This, unless something unforeseen
happens, such as a settlement, Will
mean that the defendant will have to
be tried 1t will lay bare all of the
facts of the case, and it is expected
that much dirty linen will be washed.
Krickbaum made no remarks when
he learned of the findings of the jury.
He did not look at the return when it
came into the court, although he sat
on the bench at the time.
An application has already been
made for a continuance over the term,
and it is likely that this will be allow

DEMAND IS
INCREASING

The Danville Stove and Manufactur-
ing company this week has sent anoth-
er car load of stoves to the Canal
zoue," Panama, the shipment being
on contract for approximately one
thousand stoves, held by the local stove
manufacturing company.
Danville stoves find their way to
many remote points. At the plant this
week they are busy shipping stoves to
Charlestown, S. @. Pittsburg, Chicago
and San Francisco. The stoves in de-
mand at Panama are cooks" exclu-
sively, the kind included lin the last
shipment being the King Beaver, with
twenty-inch oven. Several shipments
have been made since the contract was
awarded.
At the stove works they are engag-
ed in redressing the Beaver Oak"
double heater, which has become a
popular stove in the East as we'll as in
the West, where it first attained popu-
larity. The new dress is semi. plain or
colonial finish.
The manufacture of gas ranges each
year is becoming more of departure
at the stove works. The Beaver gas
ranges are made for both natural and
manufactured gas; they contain oven
shelf and are most handsomely design
ed. The "Star Beaver" is all cast iron
and may be used for either cooking or
heating. The demand for these stoves
attests to what extent gas is suppressed
ing coal as fuel.
Ninety-three moulders are employed
in the foundry of the Danville Stove
and Manufacturing plant. The est
ablishment runs all its departments
five days in the week, which, among
stove manufacturing concerns, is con-
sidered practically full time.

NEW WAREHOUSE

The Danville Milling company is
erecting large warehouse on the east
ern side of its plant, which will be u.s.
ed exclusively in the handling of feed.
Up to the present the company has
been short of storage space for feed
and the new building as arranged will
not only add much to convenience but
it will also enable the firm to do a
much larger business.
The warehouse is eighty feet long
by twenty feet wide. 1t is built of
frame. The roof will be covered by
tin and the sides and ends of the
building by metal sheeting, which
will afford ample protection from the
sparks that fly that way from locomo-
tives passing on the p. & r. track
The building is supported on founda-
tion walls of concrete and the floor
will be of the same material.
The warehouse will have a capacity
of two hundred tons of feed. a switch
from the p. & r. track runs in along
side the warehouse. From the cars the
feed will be unloaded into the ware
house by means of chute. Another
chute equipped with drag connects
the warehouse and the mill.
The Danville Milling company is
composed of George A. Fry, Charles
J. Lawrence and John H. Dietz. A
few years ago the plant was remodel
ed and made thoroughly up-to-date
Since then at intervals new machin-
cry has been installed; at present it
has thoroughly modern equipment
for grinding both spring and winter
wheat. The addition of the warehouse
places the plant in the front ranks of
modern Touring mills.

POSTPONED TRIP

E. NJ. Applebaugh, Samuel Rebman
and some others who had planned to
start up the Fishingcreek valley on a
trout fishing excursion yesterday morn
ing, owing TO the cold wave, decided
to postpone the trip.
Trout fishermen from this city thus
far have met with poor success At the
opening of the season the streams were
too low, while the continuous rains
later made the streams too high foI
successful fishing. However, a long
interval intervenes between the present
and the close of the trout season and
there may still be some pretty big
catches.

HEALTH
IS IMPROVING

During the month of April only
triqt as against forty-four in March.
The vital statistics report shows also a
general falling off in contagious dis
! eases; scarlet fever and diphtheria,
two diseases. which lurked in the COM
munity for nearly year and which
at one time threatened to become epi-
demic, as indicated by the report are
entirely stamped out.
In the opinion of DR.. Shutlz, the
local registrar, the increased death rate
in March was due to the large number
of aged and weakly people who sue
cumbed to effects of the hard winter.
The health of the community at pres
ent is very good with an outlook for
the summer correspondingly encourag-
ing. During April only one case of
pneumonia and three cases of measles
were reported There are two cases of
typhoid fever-both children-in a
family in which the husband and fa-
ther died early in April In March
there were four cases of typhoid fever
The reduced namber of cases and the
fact that they are confined to one
family encourage hope that before
long this disease also shall be stamped
out.
One case of tuberculosis was report
ed during April.
OF the seventeen deaths reported
eight occurred at the hospital for the
insane.
The full returns show that during
March, when forty-four deaths were
reported, there were just eighteen
births, which leaves a difference big
enough to fill the mind with dismay,
if one were looking for evidences of
race suicide" 1t is known. how
ever, that during the course of year
in our district the equilibrium be-
tween the birth and the death rate is
pretty we'll maintained.

COMMISSIONERS
HEAR APPEALS

The full board of county commits
sioners is sitting at the court. house to
hear appeals. Yesterday was appeal
day for Washingtonville borough and
the townships of the county; today
appeals will be heard from the prop
erty owners of Danville.
The commissioners office was busy
place yesterday and at times the board
was besieged with farmers and others
who felt that they were the victims of
discrimination and that too high a
valuation had been put upon their
properties In all such cases the board
finds itself in delicate position, as the
members are not expected to be fami
liar with all the conditions affecting
the property on which its valuation is
based. In safeguarding the interests of
the county the commissioners can not
afford to take anything for granted
and consequently there is generally a
long argument between the parties. In
practically all the cases something is
yielded by the commissioners and all
parties generally are satisfied.
A member of the board yesterday
explained that the mistakes made by
the assessors are not always on the
side of generalization. The commits
sioners, he said, find instances occas-
ionally where the valuation is obvious
ly much too low. In all such instances
the board exercises its prerogative and
restores the proper figure.
The functionary who is familiar
with all the facts and is best qualified
to decide questions as to valuation is
the assessor and he is absent when the
appeals are heard.
Every township as well as Washing
tonville borough was represented at
the appeal yesterday. From Washing
tonville, however, only one person
turned up who was dissatisfied with
the valuation.
The commissioners anticipate very
busy session today, when the residents
of Danville who desire to appeal will
present themselves.

To ILLUMINATE
MILL STREET

Among other matters that may come
up before the borough council at its
next regular meeting, Friday night,
is the question of removing the arches
of vari-colored lights, which have been
an attraction ON Mill street for year
past.
Borough Electrician Newton Smith
yesterday explained that the lights
were put up for temporary use only
and are so insecurely fastened that it
would be unsafe to permit them to re-
main on the arches much longer.
The arches have proven great at
traction on Saturday nights during
the year in which they have been in
existence. Especially, have they been
admired by visitors, who because of
them, discovered an especial charm in
our town. 1t is to be regretted that it
has become necessary to take down
the lights.
Our borough electrician, however,
has project, which, if carried out,
would furnish something more than a
substitute for the arches of vari-color-
ed lights and would illuminate the
long business street so brightly that
one could read a newspaper at any
point.
He advocates system for Mill street
alone on separate circuit, similar to
a plan adopted in many of the cities.
The system would be supported on
arches one hundred feet apart, the
lamp employed to be the series Mazda
incandescent light of sixty candle pow
er. The system would comprise 1875 to
150 lamps.
Danville having its own plant is ad-
mirably situated to support such a
system of lighting. The cost of install
ling the street system, of course, would
be considerable, but Mr.. Smith says it
is customary in such enterprises for
the merchants and others to assist the
municipality to meet the cost, paying
in proportion to the frontage of their
business places. Once installed in Dan
vile, the system could.be run without
cost. The portion of the street to be
covered would extend no further than
the business section, beginning at the
bridge and ending, say, at Center
street
