WAGON UPSET

The delivery wagon of John Jacobs
sors while making its accustomed
rounds Monday afternoon figured in
a smash-up.
The wagon, driven by Walter Bowen,
was descending the hill on Church
street between Bloom and Lower Null
berry streets, when the hold snap
became unlocked and the wagon run
ming forward against the horse caused
him to become ungovernable. The
driver still holding on to the lines
jumped out but owing to the broken
harness was unable to quiet the horse.
At this juncture the wagon upset and
striking a fire plug was badly broken.
Through it all the driver held on to
the horse, which was finally unhitch-
ed and was found to be little the worse
for the accident. The upset attracted
quite a crowd.

FARMERS PICNIC

The Farmers annual Tri County
picnic will be held in DeWitt's park
on next Wednesday, August l7th Ev-
cry effort has been put forth to make
the event a success.
Calhoun's Military Band of North
cumberland will furnish the music dur
ing the day and will render several
noteworthy selections. Miles and
Foulke's orchestra will furnish music
for the dance
The program of sports embraces a
potato race, bag and lantern race
and other exciting contests.
\ general invitation is extended to
the public, as the object of the Tri-
County Farmers Picnic association j.
to afford an occasion where all who so
desire may meet together and enjoy a
good social time. Should the merch-
ants of town see their way clear to
close their stores during the afternoon
it would be a concession most highly
appreciated.
An admission fee of five cents will
be charged to help defray the expenses.

A REGULATOR

The northern wall of the county
commissioners office at the court
house.is adorned by handsome new
clock or regulator, which takes the
place of the antiquated timepiece that
did service in the office for many,
many years.
The new clock is modern in every
respect, but it is doubtful whether it
will render any more efficient service
than did the old clock in its day and
generation 1t is true, during the last
several years the timepiece displaced
was obliged to get along with one
hand and was able to indicate the
hours only, the minute hand having
gone by the board many years before
To its credit, however, it must he stat.
ed that the old clock to the last kept
fairly correct time. Clerk Horace Q.
Blue, who is custodian of the court
house relics, has taken the old clock
down and consigned it to Oblivion in
one of the musty recesses of the build
ing wherein are stored piles of other
obsolete furniture

SCHOOL HOUSE
ON NEW SITE

The Welsh Hill school building,
which was in danger of being under
mined by the floods and of toppling
into deep ravine at its side, has been
successfully moved to new and safe
site twenty-five feet further west. The
work was done by Clark Heimbach of
East Danville.
From time immemorial during heavy
rains the surface water accommodating
on Welsh Hill on its way to the creek
below in torrent has poured down
the hillside Just east of the site &C.
cupied by the school house creating a
gulley. which of late years has threat
ened to undermine the foundation of
the building. The school board took
the matter up with the borough coun-
Gil, but the latter body holds that the
washout is due to natural conditions
and not to any fault of the drainage.
A compromise was effected whereby
the borough and school district agreed
Jointly to bear the cost of removing
the school house to new site. Bids
were invited and the contract was
awarded to Mr.. Hiembach for 1897.
How well the contractor has per-
formed the difficult task will be appar-
ent when it is stated that the buildip,,
was moved twenty-five feet without
so much as loosening a brick on the
tall chimney or in anyway damag ing
the expensive slate blackboard, set in
the end wall and extending from one
side of the school room to the other.
At one place the plaster is slightly
broken, but the damage is so slight
that a good plasterer will repair it IN
fifteen minutes.
The building is being thoroughly re-
novated and among other improve
ments a lavatory system is being in
stalled. In connection with the latter
a twelve-foot cesspool is being dug at
the west side of the building. Hence
forth Welsh Hill will have "A safe and
sanitary school building equipped with
all the conveniences.

Joe Cans, former lightweight champ
ion of the world, died here this NOM
ing
Cans died of consumption, which
manifested itself about a year ago
Late last spring he went to Arizona
with the hope of restoring his health,
but the disease had been too deeply
seated and he declined rapidly. He
was brought home last week to die.
He was 81 years Old
He began his ring career in 1894. but
prior to that time he had made name
for himself as a fighter about IA fish
market in this city, where he was EN-.
ployed. His first fight for money is
said to have brought him $4. The
largest purse for which he ever fought
was S33, 900 in his first bout with Mel
son. OF this Cans received but $l1 900,
he having agreed to give Nelson the
remainder, win, lose or draw.
Cans won the title of lightweight
champion from Frank Erne, at Fort
Erie, in one round in 1902 and lost it
to Battling" Nelson in 1908 in the
seventeenth round.

ANSWERS THE
FINAL SUMMONS

DR.. Benjamin HoIning Detwiler.
veteran physician and trustee of the
hospital for the insane at this place,
died at his home in WilliamspoIt at
O'Clock Tuesday morning following
stroke of paralysis.
DR.. Detwiler was one of the oldest
and most widely known physicians in
the State, having practiced medicine
for more than fifty years, He was best
known to the people of this vicinity,
however, as "a trustee of the hospital
for the insane, having been member
of the board ever since the institution
the deepest interest in all matters per-
tanning to the care and treatment of
the insane and the conduct of affairs
about the hospital. For several years
he was president of the board of trus-
tees. No one was more faithful in his
attendance at the meetings than DR.
DetwiIeT. For more than thirty years
his duties as trustee have brought him
to Dauville monthly on more frequent
ly, and not only those at the hospital,
but also the people about town learn
ed to know him well and to appreci-
ate his cordiality and evident sincerity
of manner.
DR.. Detwiler was born in Fran
coma, Montgomery county, October 6,
1881, and was "A descendant of the fifth
generation of Gregorious Detwiler, a
Swiss emigrant, who was a pioneer of
that section. He prepared for college

DEPARTMENT
Of SCIENCE

In addition to the Crowell outfit in
stalled in the laboratory of the Dan
Vile high school few years ago the
school board this year has purchased a
great deal of other apparatus, which
will much increase the value of the
work done in the department. of
science.
Included among the new pieces are:
Galorimeter and Measuring cup, Over
flow can, Vernier caliper, Ball and
Ring, Spring Balance, Cenco Agate
Bearing Trip Scale, Dissected Liter
Block -E
To supply pieces that have become
worn out the following have been pur-
chased: Blow pipes, Glass retorts,
Beakers, tunnels, Flasks, Test-tu es,
Forceps, Evaporating dishes, U Tubes,
Rubber tubing and Pneumatic troughs.
The laboratory of the high school is
now equipped with the most useful
and up-to-date laboratory furniture.
All of which suggests that the Dan
willie school board is laboring with the
object in view to secure to the pupils
the distinctive advantages that result
from correct science study. Among
these advantages are the power to OBJ
serve quickly, clearly and compre-
hensively and the ability to deduce leg
itimate conclusions from the observa-
tions thus made. With these ends in
view it is the aim rarely to tell the
pupil what he can find out for himself
by observation OF experiment.
In the study of botany an amount of
text book work sufficient to acquire
the necessary technical terms is re-
quired. But the greater part of the
work consists of close study of the
types of the most important orders.
A large table has been placed in the
class room where the pupils may per-
form their dissection and analysis un-
der the guidance of the instructor.
The student is required to collect,
analyze, classify and mount a number
of specimens of local flora.
Zoology is studied in much the same
manner as botany from
text books, individual laboratory work,
taking up the larger type forms; and
field work.
The course of physics extends through
the entire senior year. The aim is to
cultivate a keen understanding and
appreciation of common natural phe-
nomena. The method is to combine re-
citations with as much individual lab
oratory work as possible. The expert
ments are performed individually by
the student and carefully recorded in
special note books.
The required work in chemistry Gov
els one year. The aim of this course
is to give the student some concept of
the large part which chemistry is
playing in our industrial and social life
and TO impress on him the value of
the subject in bringing us i'll touch
with the worlds work in many fields.

LABOR DAY
IN DANV|LLE

Labor Day, the first Monday in Sep
tember, this year, occurs on the fifth
of the month. Last year the day was
also late, not occurring until the sixth
of September.
Labor day is one of the most import
ant legal holidays of the year. In Dan
Vile it has always been we'll observed,
rejecting in very positive way the
general interest felt in the cause of
labor 80.
In the past the A. A. of l. S. and
7. W. of this city generally took the
initiative in planning an observance
for Labor day, and under its auspices
a big outing in the park was generally
held, which provided entertainment for

This year the 23rd annual conven-
tion of the Susquehanna District As
sociation, Knights of the Golden Eagle,
will meet at Danville. As arranged
the convention will be one of the larg-
est and most important ever held by
the Sir knights and Ladies' of the
Golden Eagle.
y feature of the occasion will be an
imposing parade, which will form at

sharp. Prizes in gold are offered as
follows: For the best drilled COM

a monster picnic will be held at De-
Wits park. During the afternoon and
evening there will be dancing, Foulk 5
orchestra furnishing the music. There
will also be games and sports of all
kinds. Admission to the park will be
free.
The convention will bring a large
number of visitors to Danville embrac-
ed by the membership of the various
castles of the order situated in the
Susquehauna district.
1t is not unlikely that Labor day
may be publicly observed by other
organizations also, which still have
abundant time to make arrangements.
1t is quite certain that game of base
ball or two will be played by teams of
the Susquehanna League.
The public schools of Daugille will
open for the term on Tuesday morning
following Labor Day.

NOTICES POSTED
ON SATURDAY

The borough on Saturday took the
initial step in the procedure to pave
East Market street between Mill and
Pine streets without petition of prop
erty owners, when in compliance with
the law it caused to be posted on the
two squares affected twelve notices re-
lating to the proposition. The notices
occur at intervals of every few yards,
and residents whose properties abut on
the section to be paved on emerging
from their doorways are pretty sure to
find themselves confronted with the
conspicuous placard, which in due and
legal form informs them what is on
foot.
The notices set forth that the bor-
ough council on Friday, August 10,
1910, at p. III will hold a meeting
in the council chamber for the pur-
pose of hearing objections from any
one to the proposition to grade, pave
with vitritied brick and curb with
stone that part of East Market street
between the eastern building line of
Mill street to the eastern building
line of Pine street and to consider the
advisability and expediency of enact
ing the proposed necessary ordinance
providing for such grading, paving
and curbing, the assessment of costs,
etc.
The paving of the two squares as
proposed VIII be accomplished under
the provisions of the act of May 81,
1897, CP L. 1l4l as amended by the
act of May, Z, 1907 (P. l.. 1851. This
enables the borough by a two-thirds
vote of council to improve portion
of street between improved termini,
not exceeding 1000 feet, without peti.
tion from property owners. The sec
tion of East Market street between
Mill and Pine streets is ZOO feet, 6
inches in length.
Section 1 of the act of May Z, 1907.
which relates to the present stage of
the procedure, is as follows: That
all boroughs shall have power without
petition of property owners to grade,
pave, curb, macadamize public streets
or parts thereof not exceeding 1000
feet in length and connect two streets
or parts of a street heretofore paved
and improved: Provided. The ordin-
auce authorizing and directing such
improvements shall be adopted and
enacted by an affirmative vote of
three-fourths of the members elect
comprising the councils of the said
borough and shall be approved by the
burgess thereof. No such ordinance
shall be finally enacted in less than
thirty days from the date of its in
PRODUCTION, and in the meantime copies
of said ordinance shall be published in
a newspaper in said borough and cir
culating therein once a week for two
weeks and by at least five handbills
posted along the proposed improve
ment ten days before the final passage
in council of such ordinance -
