ATEN COMPANY 344 MILL STREET, DANVILLE, PA. HOUSE RENTING FOR COMING YEAR Quit Notices Will be TodayGood Houses Are in Demand. Today nearly every house renter in Danville will be served with a "notice to quit." It isn't always intended, however, by the house owner to warn the renter out peremptorily, it being a matter of form so that in case of sale or other change the occupant can be legally forced to vacate, if so desired. On account of the demand for good houses it would be wise for renters to have a distinct understanding on this question before the New Year advances too far and it you can get this understanding in writing so much the better for there may be landlords whose word is not so good as their bond and you may have their promise and not have the house when the time comes for the general moving day. MORNING CHAT We can't regulate the weather, or we should have it fair and cold.

The return of grip conditions is not pleasant. From all parts of the State come reports of unprecedented holiday business. Pennsylvanians know how to spend money as well as to make it. All of us will be a year older today, but only a Scrooge would ask how many of us are a dollar richer. "See that the horses are roughshod, it's better for horses and owners," said a well known horseman last evening.

"Do you know that if people would give attention to that they would save expense. Many a horse, whose shoes are not given proper care falls down aud while it may not be apparent that the animal is hurt, the chances are that he is strained. It don't cost much to rough-shod a horse but it means a lot. Druggists of the city are pondering about the effest of the new pure food law on their business. It seems that there are some provisions in the law which make it almost impossible to sell certain preparations and the druggists are not clear about it, sO that they are not selling them.

Even down in Washington, the home of the new law, the druggists are perplexed and decisions oll mooted questions are awaited. The magnificent new St. Patrick's cathedral at Harrisburg, will be dedicated before the beginning of Lent, February 13, if possible, the date depending upon the completion of the organ. The exact time cannot be fixed for some time yet. The dedication will be the most important and impressive church ceremony ever held in Harrisburg.

In the death of Andrew J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania railroad. the State and nation loses one of the foremost men of industry, and finlance in the country today. Indeed, Mr. Cassatt was recognized as the greatest railroad man of the age, and had done more than any of his honored predecessors in meeting great problems for the great corporation of which he was the able head.

He was a man of action, a man of force, one who believed in doing things, and he did a great real for the company from very day that he assumed the responsibilities of the presidency. His loss will be severely felt in the world of industry. Danville and Bloomsburg Street Railway Company.

DAVID E. HARING, Archon. STUART'S CABINET STILL UNDECIDED Will Not Be Announced Until He Takes His Office January 15th. Governor- Stuart will announce none of his appointments until he takes office January 15. Stuart has advised applicants for certain in important positions under his administration of his decision.

Despite the pressure for place under him, he feels that nothing is to be gained by announcing his appointments at this time. Both Governors Hastings and Penny packer announced the selection of their cabinet officers more than one month in advance of their inauguration. After Stuart's election it was thought he would follow their example so as to be relieved of the demand for these choice offices. Governor Stone did not complete the formation of his cabinet until a few hours before he was inauguated, but that was because of the conditions which arose over the contest for United States senator to succeed Matthew S. Quay in the legislature of 1899.

Stone wanted Quay re-elected, and his cabinet was formed with a view of helping his candidacy. Frank M. Reeder, of Easton, who was slated for secretary of the Commonwealth, was dropped at the last moment. His place was taken by William W. Griest, who controlled the two senators and six representatives from Lancaster county.

SOUTH DANVILLE DEALER VICTIMIZED from First who had bought the goods at his store and presented the worthless check. He saw that he was apparently the victim of a deep-laid scheme and hardly knowing what to do next he returned home. As the matter became noised about the attaches of the Pennsylvania station at South Danville recalled that the man from Catawissa, who on December 17 purchased goods at Mr. Clay ton's had shipped them to Catawissa by express and that the name used in marking the box was not Wright but William P. Gaumer.

Others about South Danville, who knew Gaumer, recalled his visit to South Danville on that day and also the fact that he transacted business at Mr. Clayton's store. On the strength of this discovery on Fridav evening Mr. Clayton swore out a warrant before Justice Young charging William P. Gaumer with "false pretense and intent to cheat and defraud." On Saturday morning Mr.

Clayton took the warrant to Catawissa and placed it in the hands of Constable H. A. Harman, of that place, who served it on Gaumer. The arrested man, in charge of stable Harman and accompanied by Mr. Clayton, arrived in South Danville about the middle of the afternoon and was immediately taken before the justice.

He pleaded not guilty. Among the witnesses were T. W. Clayton, W. R.

Clark, Clark Fowler, Harvey Lowe, and J. J. Cherington, whose name was used on the fraudulent check. The testimony adduced went to show that the defendant was the man who obtained goods and money on a check. which was bogus.

A prima facie case being made out bail was at $200. which the defendant was unable to procure. There was no other alternative for him but to go to jail. After the hearing Constable Harman delivered the defendant over into the hands of Elias Woodruff, constable for Gaerhart township, by whom he was taken to Sunbury on the 4:31 train. Gaumer has wife and several children and at Catawissa is well known as a resident the south side.

SLEIGHS. SLEIGHS. Lot of Portland Cutters, Cheap, HUNT'S OLD STAND. TO DISCONTINUE TIME TABLES Pennsylvania Railroad Will No Longer Publish Time Tables in the Newspapers--Public Inconvenienced. New Auto Line for Passengers and Freight to Connect With Danville Trolley.

These are the days of trolleys and rumors of trolleys, varied with stories of auto freight lines. There is scarcely a day but some new report bobs up to excite wonder and cause discussion. The latest report of the kind is from Sunbury and is to the effect that a line of auto passenger and freight cars is to be started the coming summer which will at this end connect with the Danville trolley road, and will run from Sunbury to Lewistown. It is said that the cars will make a speed of fifteen miles an hour, and will be operated along the bed or the old Pennsylvania canal. A franchise has been obtained to supplement the Wat-Lewisburg trolley line with the automobile innovation when the Lewisburg bridge over the Susquehanna is completed.

When all these proposed new lines of transportationin this section are in operation, it will be an easy matter to get around almost anywhere. WATSONTOWN TIAN WINS HONORS Wm. F.

J. Welliver Sons 299 and 315 Mill Street. The Pennsylvania railroad will no longer publish any of its time tables in the newspapers and the traveling public, millions of whom ride on the Pennsylvania lines will have to seek other sources of information regarding the movement of trains. A circular letter issued from the office of the general passenger agent states in part: It has been decided by our management, in view of the fact that the condensed time tables now published in the newspapers are of little value to the public, to discontinue the publication of them in the newspapers after December 31, 1906. It is our purpose to utilize all the space occupied in the newspapers for live advertising matter of current interest and we hope through the publicity given our trains and other particular features of our service to render a greater benefit to the public." A traveling man of wide experience in speaking of this move on the part of the Pennsylvania made the jing "The officials of the road probably do not realize the usefulness of pablished time tables to the public.

The average citizen who travels infrequently almost invariably gets his information regarding the time his train leaves from the time tables in the daily papers. He will now have to go to a hotel or to the station for information, which will often be a great inconvenience to him. I believe that in the long run the Pennsylvania will find the time table too great an adjunct to be abandoned in this FINE LIST OF CONTRIBUTIONS from First G.
