The Morning News XI COMMISSIONERS COMPLETE WORK Wheel Sealed in Presence of Judge Evans Yesterday. Jury Commissioners Auten and Kearn yesterday completed the work of selecting the jurymen required for the ensuing year. His Honor Judge Evans was present, the important function of sealing the wheel being carried out in his presence. The Jury Commissioners were just eight days in selecting the 450 names required. Judge Evans was present and assisted in the work on Monday the 21st on Thursday and Saturday following as well as yesterday.

Few people probably have any adequate idea of how much responsibility devolves upon the Jury Commissioners and of how slow and tedious the work is of selecting a sufficient number of men qualified to serve as jurors during a whole year. Jury Commissioner Auten yesterday explained how difficult and arduous they found the task. In the first place the character and qualifications of each man must be taken into consideration, among the questions to determine a as far as possible being whether he is a person of moral integrity, of judgment, good hearing and physically able to sit through the trial of a case. Next the registry list must be examined to see whether the man is registerd, as none but persons registered as voters are eligible as jurors. Should the individual prove all right in this respect it must next be ascertained whether or not he was in the wheel last year, as it is a rule pretty closely followed to keep out of the wheel those names which appeared in the list of jurors the year previous.

Jury Commissioner Auten stated that they highly appreciated the guidance andthe assistance they received from his Honor, the president judge, as it gives them an assurance that nothing has been omitted and that their duty is well and faithfully done. THE ELKS' CHARM FINDS AN OWNER Belongs to Samuel Marks -Endeavoring to Solve the Problem. The Elks' charm, which was found by George Ross in his fish net at the creek's mouth on Monday, has found an owner in the person of Samuel Marks, a book keeper in the employ of the Structural Tubing company. There is nothing, however, to throw any light on the manner in which the badge found its way into the net. Mr.

Marks is aware that he lost the charm while rowing on the river on Labor day. When he entered the boat at this city he had the charm. He did not miss it until he had reached a point more than half way between Danville and Red Point. He is confident that he was not on the spot where the net was raised. It would indeed be interesting to know how the charm got into the fish net.

Mr. Marks' friends are trying to solve the problem and many interesting theories are being advanced. An Angry Bedfellow. When Frank Urbany, of York, aged 35 years, turned in at his boarding place on Saturday night he found that his bedfellow, Henry Weber, had propriated all the bed clothing and was occupying the middle of the bed. He shook Weber and demanded his share, a fight ensued and Urbany was taken to the hospital in a serious condition with knife wounds that required thirty-one stitches, while Weber was also battered up NECESSARY TO INSTALL PUMP Water Delays Work on Foundation for Soldiers' Monument.

P. J. Keefer, superintendent of construction, with a force of men yesterbegan work on the excavation for day the foundation of the Soldiers' monument. The first day sufficed to reveal that the job is going to be a difficult one owing to the presence of water, which has made it necessary to install a pump. It is a well known fact that the cemetery is a wet and soggy spot, especially in the center, where the site of the monument lies.

It was hardly expected, however, that water would be encountered so soon. Mr. it will be necessary to sink the excavation, at last ten feet before 8 solid bottom will be found. Upon attaining a depth of three feet was encountered and before the work could proceed was necessary to install a handpump and lay pipe to conduct the water to an intake in the park drain some 80 feet distant. The accumulation of water will no doubt prove a great annoyance and a hindrance as the work progresses, as it may be necessary to keep the pump in constant operation when a greater depth has been attained.

A VICTIM OF PERITONITIS Mrs. Bertha Moyer Departs this Life After Eight Days' IllnessFuneral Thursday. Mrs. Bertha Moyer, wife of Harry Moyer, departed this life on Monday evening after an eight days' illness of peritonitis. The deceased was aged 25 years, 10 months and 12 days.

Besides her husband she is survived by two small children, May and Bessie the former seven years and the latter nine months of age. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Smidley, two brothers, Albert Smidley of Danville, and Fred Smidley of Newark, and one sister, Catherine (Mrs. Joseph Richards.) The funeral will take place at 2 p.

Thursday from the family residence No. 13 Chambers street Interment will be made in Odd Fellows' cemetery. PAVEMENT OF VITRIFIED BRICK Borough and P. R. Railway Company Jointly Laying SideWalk on Bloom Street.

The sidewalk on Bloom street between the P. R. track and the lower end of the concrete pavement along the park is being laid with vitrified brick. It is a small section of street claimed by the P. R.

railway company, but inasmuch as vehicles that use Kline street have to drive backward and forward over it the borough is not relieved from responsibility. A compromise was effected whereby the borough of Danville furnishes the material and employes of the railway company do the work. The pavement will be completed today. Harry Fish Ill. Mr.

and Mrs. Jacob Fish, Pine and Centre streets, left yesterday morning for Norristown in response to a telegram apprising them of the illness of their son Harry. who is taking a course at Shishler's business college at that place. The latest word received stated that the young man was at the hospital. He had contracted a severe cold.

We want you to remember with pleasure where you bought it and come here with another order when you are ready. AMESBURY DANVILLE.

NORTHUMBERLAND BALLOTS WRONG Slight Mistake Requires Reprinting-Will be at the Polls on Time.

The ballots for the November election for Northumberland county have a technical error which will necessitate the reprinting of the whole lot before election. Opposite the names of 1. T. C. Dissinger and that of Justice Lloyd is the word instead of "Prothonotary, Clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions and General Jail Delivery," as it should have been.

The error as is readily seen. was very slight, and it is not strange that it escaped observation until after the ballots had been printed. Fortunately the mistake was discovered in time to rectify before November 5th. The contract for printing the ballots was held by Editor Steele of the Shamokin Herald. The Northumberland county commissioners say positively that every poll will be supplied as usual on election day.

The Danville school board is after a frisky set of young fellows, supposed to be pupils of the school, who in some mysterious way effect an entrance into the high school building at night, there demeaning themselves in a way that is creating something akin to a scandal. It appears that the thing has been going on ever since the opening of the schools. Once inside the building the boys become very bold, climbing into the belfry, where they indulge in rude and unseemly conduct that on several occasions has attracted attention from the street.

On several nights last week the boys were observed in the belfry of the school building. An effort was made to discover how they got into the building but without success. It is the general opinion that a duplicate key is employed. It was reported at the meeting of the school board Monday night that burned matches were found in the belfry where the boys had been capering about, which reveals to what ex tent the building is endangered from fire by the questionable state of affairs. At one place in the second story the ceiling was found broken through where an intruder while climbing overhead stepped upon the unprotected plastering.

The school board decided to adopt drastic measures to keep the boys out of the building at night. Yesterday morning through the borough superintendent the pupils were notified of the school board's action. Any boy caught in the building at night and found guilty of effecting an entrance surreptitiously will be placed under arrest and will be punished as the law provides. Raising Pheasants. Columbia county has the distinction of having the only pheasantry in the State of Pennsylvania.

It is conducted by Associate Judge Elmer Yeager, in Roaring Creek township, who in addition to the duties of his office will experiment with the raising of pheasants. They have been successfully raised in Canada for years, but it is a business which is new in this country and hence will be watched with interest. Postponed Trip to Danville. Owing to the inclement weather, the K. G.

E. commandery of Bloomsburg, did not come to Danville, Monday evening, but postponed the visit until next Monday night. PUBLIC SALE OF REAL ESTATE Four Properties on Railroad and Grand Streets Change Hands. Four properties belonging to the estate of Sarah Morrall, deceased, were sold at public sale yesterday. The sale took place at the court house at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, the auctioneer being Michael Breckbill.

The two tenements and town lots embracing a double two-story brick dwelling house, Nos. 105 and 107 Rail road street, were knocked down to C. C. Moyer for $1910. The two-story frame dwelling house, No.

7 Railroad street, was purchased by Catherine Morrall for $780. The two-and-a-half-story frame dwelling house with frame barn and a lot of choice fruit, being No. 104 Grand street, was sold to Harry Marshall for $1225. A fair-sized assemblage was attracted to the court house by the sale, but bidding was not spirited. It is generally agreed that the properties sold cheap.

The three-story frame dwelling house on Ash street belonging to the estate of George Elwell, deceased, was purchased Martha E. for $500. CATHOLICS MAY EAT MEAT FRIDAY Special Dispensation Has Come From Pope Pius for All Saints' Day. Catholic priests througout the entire country have announced that owing to a special dispensation granted by Pope Pius. the faithful throughout the world will be allowed to eat meat on Friday next which will be the feast of All Saints.

This is the first time that such a dispensation has been made for All Saints' day, although the use of meat has been granted before on Friday when certain feasts fell on that day. According to the doctrines of the Catholic church the faithful are not allowed to eat meat on this one day set apart every week, the idea being to commemorate in this manner the death of Christ, which took place on that day. The dispensation coming as it does from Pope Pius shows that he intends to have all feast days properly celebrated. Accepted Position. Harry Jones, who has been employed as a mounter at the Danville Stove works for a number of years, left Monday for Rochester, where he has accepted a similar position.
