THE DANVILLE INTELLIGENCERDISCONTINUES PUBLICATION

A Gradual Change ol Conditions UnderWbicb the Daily Newspaper HasCrowded Ont the Weekly PublicationSome ol the Inlluences Which are atWork.

With this issue the Danville Intel-

ligencer, following a long and useful

career, bids farewell to its readers.

After a determined effort aud an ex-periment covering several years, the

Ipublisher of the paper sees no other

alternative but to discontinue its pub-

lication.For several years past, there has

been a gradual change of conditions

as affects newspapers, brought about

by the establishment of the r 112. d.

routes and other influences. The week

ly newspaper is no longer in demand.

The daily sheet, with its budget of

fresh news, has come to the front and

it is here to stay. No matter in what

locality the weekly newspaper may be

the experience of the publisher is the

same. There is scarcely a day but

some old aud nearly life-long subscrib-

er decides to discontinue the weekly

and subscribes for the daily paper. A

new generation of readers has come to

the front aud these are out of all har-

mony with conditions that prevailed

during the time of their fathers, when

the weekly newspaper was a success-

tul factor.

It is in the face of oonditious such

as these that the publisher of the lu-

telllgencer lias battled. Auy amount 1of hard work was put into the enter-prise jevery honorable expedient that

could be devised was resorted to, but {naturally the fight was a losing one. (It is with great regret that we sever ;

so many pleasant ties aud turn our | 1footsteps toward other fields where ?

greater opportunities present them- jselves.

10 PROTECTHER PROPER

A session of couit wan held Satur-day morning with his Honor JudgeEvans and Associates Blee aud Wei- Jliver on the bench. Some routine work Jwas disposed of, after which the courtproceeded with a hearing on the ap-plication for the appointment of aguardian for Elizabeth Markley underthe acts of 1895 and 1901.

The respondent in this case is a sis- 'ter of Mrs. Catharine Fieglesof Maus- |dale, the petitioner in the case. MissMarkley, now advaucod in years, dur- jing the gieater part of her life was 'employed in the home of a wealthyfamily in one of the southern countiesof the State. She took good care of 1her savings and, guided by wise coun-sel, invested them profitably. There- jsuit is that in her old age she has asnug competency to fall back upon.

Some years ago sbe accepted an in-

vitation to come to Mausdale aud live ;

with her sister, Mrs. Fiegles, whereshe remained for some time. She isnow living at the home of John Min-tzer in Coal township, Northumber- jlaud couuty. Whatever difference may ,

have existed among the relatives ofMiss Markley, they are now all agreedthat by reasouof heradvauced age audimpaired faculties she is unfit to man-age her property aud that in order to

protect'her interests from desiguingpersons there should be aguardiau ap-pointed to look after her affairs Herproperty consisting mostly of railroad ;and bauk stock is secured iu a safetydeposit box of tlie Danville Nationalbauk. Its present valuatiou is some- |thing over five thousand dollars

All the parties iu iuterest were pre-sent at court last Saturday, with theexception of tlio respondent, whosephysical condition, by a physician'scertificate, was shown to be such as to

render her unable to be present At-torneys Charles C. Lark aud PatrickF. Brennan,members of the Northum-berland couuty bar,along with EdwardS. Gearhart, of this city, representedthe petitioner.

The first witness called was John R.Tietsworth of Shatuokin, son-in-lawof Oatlierine Fiegles. Ho has knownMiss Murkily since 1905. Ho lias trans-acted business for Iter and declaresthat she impresses him as unfit to

mauagc her affairs. She can neitherread uor write and at no time seemsto comprehend the nature of the busi-ness in haud. She is abseutmiuded andforgetful, repeating the same instruc-tions over and over. The witness de-clared that since he had taken chargeof her affairs Miss Markley had spentover #BOO on the old house iu Valleytownship, which he considered moneyunwisely expended.

Mrs. Annie Anderson, daughter ofMrs. Fiegles and niece of the respond-ent, was next called to the staud. Hertestimouv corroborated the precedingwitness. She was of the opinion thatif her auut continued to expend hermoney as she did while livingat Maus*dale 44 it would all he gone in a fewyears."

On the strength of the above testi-mony Judge Evans appointed PatrickF. Brenuau, Esq., guardian to takecare of the property of the said Eliza-beth Markley and directed that he fur-

nish bond iu the sum of $7,000.

Tour Through the South.W. A Sechler, general manager of

the Danville Stove & Manufacturingcompany, returned home yesterday

jfrom an extended business trip throughthe south. His furthest point south

' was- Charleston, S. C., while other im-portant towns embraced in the tourwere Atlanta, Ga., Ohattauooga,

| Teuu., Baltimore. Wilmington andI Cincinnati.

The Dauville Stove and Maufactur-iug company's goods are haudled bv ajobber iu Charleston. They are alsosold iu Wiliniugtou, Del., and at anumber of other points in the ter-

ritory embraced by the trip.Mr. Sechler was much impressed

with evidences of enterprise as wellas the euormous resources of the couu-try,apparent eveu iu a hurried journeythrough the south. The happy-go-lucky

style of liviug. which up until a lateday was a pomiueut characteristicsouth of Mason and Dixon's line, isnot uoticed so much at the presenttime. The people seem to have caughtthe commercial spirit of the times audthere is a general awakening. Develop-ment is somewhat held in check bythe lack of skilled labor but un organ-ized effort is being put ou foot to se-

' cure immigration of the right sort aud

j with the labor problem solved the fu-' ture of the South will be assured.

IDG OFSCHOOL BOH

Leonard Foulk was elected schooldirector from the fourth ward Mondaynight to succeed D. Aust Lutz, whohas moved out of town. Mr. Ortli

announced that a vacancy existed, ex-plaining that Mr. Lutz has located inJersey Shore, having already removedhis household goods. He suggestedthat a successor be elected to fill Mr.Lutz' unexpired term.

Mr Heiss nominated Leonard Foulk.The choice seomeu to bo regarded withfavor and he was unanimously elected

as director from the fourth ward. Histerm willexpire in June 1908.

A. H. Groue,chairman,reported thatthe high school committee in conjunc-

tion with a'committee of the seniorclass aud the faculty of the school had

held a mooting to consider the ques-tion of a class play to be preseuted bythe graduating class in connectionwith the coming commencement. The

(dass, he said, had selected a play, en-

titled: 14 A scrap of paper."

ISPIGINSPECTION

The spring inspection of CompanyF, 12th. regiment,N. Q. P.,took placein the armory last night. To an inex-perienced eye 'the showing made bythe company seemed to be good, al-though it is not known how if was re-garded by the inspectors. The reportof the inspection will be looked for-ward to with the usual dergee of in-terest.

The inspection was conducted byCaptain W. p. Clark,of Williamsport,inspector on General Gobiu's staff,who was accompanied by LieutenantF. 11. Adams,representing the regulararmy. Preseut at the inspection alsowere Lientenant Colonel Barber, ofLewisburg; Major C. P. Gearhart audDr. Cameron Shultz,assistant surgeon,of this citv.

The number in the class is thirty-

one, while the play has twelve char-acters. Mr. Groue said that the cost

outailed in presenting the play as esti-mated by the committee would be lit-

tle, if any, less than #2OO. Consideringthat the only room available is the

court house.it seemed doubtful wheth-

er a sufficient number of tickets couldbe sold to meet all the expenses. This

doubt. Mr. Groue said, was fully ap-preciated aline by the class committee,the faculty aud the high school com-mittee of the board. The first ques-

tion to dispose of, therefore, was whoshould make up the deficit, in case oneshould occur? Would the school boardhold itself responsible?

The matter was discussed at length,but the board was not favorably im-pressed and thought it would bo inad-visable to depart from the old and

established order. On motion of Mr.Orth it was decided not to grant therequest of the graduating class asking

permission to present a class play.Truant officer Youug presented his

report for the past month,which show-ed that 190 pupils were out of school

owing to illness. There were 14 casesof truancy; ten pupils were detained

at home for want of proper clothingand shoes. Fourteen notices were serv-ed.

Secretary Orth presented a state-ment relating to the lecture "Where

the Other Half Lives," delivered by

Professor Powers in this city Satur-day,a portion of the proceeds of whichwero to be applied to the schools.

Tickets were sold by pupils to theamount of $lO4, door receipts were

$13.80, making a total of $117.80. Ex-penditures amounted to #48.95, leav-

ing a balance of $(»8 83. This wasdivided equally betweeu Professor

Powers aud the borough schools.

wick, aud was signed, "Yourmarriedsister, Mrs. George Foulk

" The postcard stated that the couple were leav-

iug for St. Louis.Mrs. Phillips,the girl's mother, yes-

terday made some sensational state-

ments. She said that she attributed

her daughter's actions to some peculiarinfluence that had beeu exerted upon

her. For some time. Mrs. Phillipsstated, her daughter had been actiug

queerly, just as if she didn't know

what she was doing; her actionsstrougly suggesting hypuotic influ-ence. At times when her mother ad-

dressed her she seemed to answer withdifficulty.

Some time ago, upon coming downstairs in the morning her mother found

a 82 cailbre revolver on the table. The

revolver was loaded. When shown the

weai>ou later, Foulk claimed it as hisproperty.

HARD ON RETAILERS.The Greeusburg Review is apparent-

ly very much dissatisfied with the

present administration of the purefood department and olamorß for achange iu methods. It thinks the re-tailer lias been badgered by the depart-ment, unmindful of two facts? thehealth of the people must be protect-ed, aud the State cannot get aftermanufacturers or jobbers residing iuother States. Now, however, the na-tional govorumeut will probably bedependent upon to reach the manu-facturer who does not live inthe Statewhilo the retailer willbe unmolested.

j March, 1907, he presented his applica-

( tion or petition to the court prayingI for a transfer of license?that the ap-plication was published in two issuesof three newspapers.

The petitioner was informed and be-lieves that said publication was not inaccordance with the law regulatingsuch matters and that a transfer of

license without publication as provid-ed by the act of May 13, 1887, wouldbe void and of no effect.

He represents thatthe building No. 5'!H, Mill street, oc-cupied at present, does not afford ad-equate accommodations for the increas-ing demands of the public; that alarge portiou of the patronage is com-posed of farmers and transient patronsfrom the couutry, who demand morecommodious accommodations for themselves, their horses aud wagons; thatthe present stable accommodations areentirely inadequate and not of easyaocess.

The petitioner further represents

that he is "desirons to obtain a li-cense to vend vinous, spiritous, malt,and brewed liquors in quantities lossthan one quart" iu a certain housesituated as above described aud knownas No. 500, Millstreet, aud for thatpurpose desires that the license hereto-fore granted to liinibe transferred to
