The Danville company will leave South Danville in a special coach on the regular 7:51 train, joining the rest of the regiment at Sunbury,where the officers will take the officers' car. The box car for baggage will be loaded at Sonth Danville Thursday afternoou. Poison Stops Ball Game, base ball game at Montgomery between the "Old Timers" and Mont gomery has been canceled because six of the players of the latter team are laid up from the effects of poison,con tracted on their field. They have been doing considerable practicing to get in shape to meet the strong aggregation from Danville and nearly all the players who got in the part of the field where the poison was are suffering from its effects. The game was to be played Wednesday. While the "Old Timers" are sorry for misfortune to the Montgomery base ballists they are congratulating them selves that they did not come in con tact with the poison. Au "Old Timer" remarked yester day to oue of our rei>orters that he had heard and knew of many odd reasons for canceling games,but the Montgom ery cause was oue never heard of be fore In his experience. Ho also said : "In my time I have played on some mighty rough diamonds. Mt. Carmel used to have its field on the edge of a bluff and there were plenty of bould ers to trip the visiting players. It was a common saying that it was necessary to have billy goats to chase the balls among the rocks. There were other grounds full of hills and hollows, bumps and ridges, that made playing something fierce and gave the visiting teams good reason to bear these dia monds in mind. But the poison ground is a proposition that is rather startling." Don't Fail to Try This. Whenever an honest trial is given to Electric Bitters for any tronble it is re commended for a permanent cnre will surely be effected.

'GAME WAS WON BY BOTH TEAMS An even break was the result of the base ball games on the Fourth at De- Witt's Park. Milton won in the morn ing and the "Old Timers" batted out a victory in the last inning of the afternoon contest. Both morning pitchers were left handed, hut Milton managed to hit Johnson at the right time for run getting. Maley held Milton down to four hits in the after noon game, while the "Old Timers" touched Moran for nine hits. Aimner inan's two-bagger in the ninth brought in the winning runs.

NARROW TIRE EVILS GREATEST ENEMY TO MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS. Highway Snrfnpi'H Spppillly f<lv« Way Under Their I »c—Permanent n»ml Improvement llemauili Their Abolition. n. r. Ilolland, one of the oldest set tlers of Itockford, 111., was interviewed not long ngo by the Chicago American on the question of good roads and their maintenance. Mr. Holland began by saying that the narrow tire was the greatest enemy of good roads. "I have been practicing: law in the Rock river valley nearly half a century und have seen the effect of those nar row tires with which yonder wagon is fitted out, and I am convinces! that whatever action may be taken in an endeavor to Improve the roads of the country will amount to little unless there is first legislation looking toward , the abolishment of narrow tires on ve ( hides. The farmers generally recog nize this fact, but as long as there is no concerted action among the manu ' fajcturers as well as among tho users 1 of vehicles little will be accomplished. 1 The common highway is the farmers' only outlet to the shipping points on the railways. Over this highway must be transported nil the agricultural products of the country not fed to live jjj j __ 2—l£—*•mmmk NARROW TIRES CUT DEEP, stock. It is also tho pleasurable drive for the rural resident as the boulevard Is for those who live in the city. These highways should he built in such a manner as to be hard and smooth all the year round. "This, of course, would bo a magnifi cent work, but It would be labor thrown a way with the present style of vehicle in use. You might just as well expect to keep a brussels carpet in good repair under hobnailed shoes as to keep good roads In condition under narrow tires. Loaded wagons with narrow tires would cut up the best dirt roads that could be built faster than they could be repaired with all the force in tho country. It is simply non sense to talk of having good country roads as long as the narrow tires are used." "llow could this be remedied?" "Nothing short of legislative enact ment looking toward the abolishment of narrow tires on all vehicles Intended for freighting purposes would bring about the change. And without that change, as I have said, the building of good roads will continue to he a farce. Look at nil the labor expended by farmers on road work. What does It amount to? Positively nothing. In most cases the roads are tin- worse for It. Dirt is thrown up from the borders of the highway into Its center, where It lies inn big, soft drift. "Then come the narrow tired wagons and cut Into this unpacked mass as a knife cuts into a soft cheese. The re sult Is easily to be seen— ridges and ruts and gullies everywhere along tho highway that, had these vehicles been fitted with wide tires, might have, been packed firm and level. "It Is not fo be supposed that all the wheels of all the wagons of the coun try could be changed at once from nar row to broad tires. That would be an act so costly as to make it Impossible of fulfillment without the backing of bayonets. Between the enactment of legislation looking toward the abolish ment of narrow tires and the day set for Its final enforcement there should be time enough for a gradual change In tho manufacture of the vehicles and ulso to give the owners of single vehi cles an opportunity to remedy the de fect in them. "The average life of a farm wagon is estimated at five years. A bill that should make it a misdemeanor to drive upon any public highway with a nar row tired vehicle five years after the enactment of the law would work no harm to any one. It would result In a complete change from the narrow to the wide tire on all vehicles intended for carrying weight and make tlie building and maintaining of good roads a practical proposition. "There would seem to be no good rea son why the wheels of one wagon man ufacturer could not be made to fit those of all wagons. If this were the case, when the date came for the abol ishment of all narrow tires the few who still had wagons furnished with that kind of tire would have only to purchase a new set of wheels to com ply with the law. "As to the benefits of the wide tire over the narrow tiro, discussion on that point is needless. Every one who ever gave the subject a moment's thought is convinced of the great su periority of the wide tire. Only a set tled habit and the trouble and expense necessary have put forward the change. "It needs only a simple bit of legisla tion to sweep away this narrow tire, the greatest menace to good roads. \Vlth wide tires in universal use the work of improvement in the roads could go forward with practical re sults. But unless there Is something done to bring about that change nil other plans for the Improvement of our rountry highways must fail." ALL WRONG. The mistakeis made by many Danville citi zens. Don't mistake t lie cause of backache. To be cured yon must know the cause. It, is wrong to imagine relief is cure. Backache is kidney ache. You must cure the kidneys. A Danville resident tells you how this can be done. Mr. John Lewis,pnddler of Mill street says:"l was not well for a long time. When working my back became so lame and pained me -u» that after getting home at night I could hardly straighten. Headaches and weariness disinclined me for anything and iu addition I was troubled with indigestion. I read aliont Doan's Kidney Pills and as my doctor's medicine's did me so little good, I got them and found the most satisfactory results from their use. They are the only remedy that ever gave me perman ent relief." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the U. S.

Yen, they are, if ' signs mean anything. The beginning I »112 the present year marked in two : quite different places a movement that | j recognizes fully woman's right and i j power to govern. In one instance the right to govern themselves was con- j ceded to the girls in a girls' school; in ilio other the coequal right of woman with man to make and administer laws was fully recognized and put into oper- ! at ion. At Vassar college has existed for years a students' association for the mutual benefit and pleasure of its mem- 1 i Iters, hut the organization had until re cently little or no voice in the discipline or government of the institution. That was conducted old style—on the one i - THE GUVIiHNINO BOA it D AT WOLIK. hand, a faculty whose rule was despot ic or otherwise, as happened, hut in all cases one from which there was no ap peal, while the students were automa tons, whose only role was to obey. Now this old timy regime has been changed. The faculty granted to the students' association a charter of its own, and that charter, like the consti tution of the I'iiited States, conferred on the young women certain rights that not even the faculty can take away. The rights also involve duties, and among these are the maintenance of order in the college buildings and grounds, quiet during study hours and the establishing of all regulations for open air exercise. The powers that be still claim the right to "boss" the gym nasium, it seems. <in the supposition that girls do not know what is good fur them the right to enforce attend ance on chapel service is reserved to the faculty. I'crhaps they thought th re could not be power enough in a students' governing board to make the girls g<> to chapel. The faculty and col lege trustees still hold a check rein on the young ladies, hut it is a longer, looser one than ever before it was, Vas sal- distinctly recognizing that even a is a responsible creature and that in the main she can behave herself without being watched. This is a very great gain for a girls' school. In the second instance it is not wom en or young ladies who take part in government, but just public school girls, in a Pennsylvania high school at Williauisport. The principal, Profess or \V. \V. Keichner, to his credit be it spoken, devised the educational repub 1 lie wherein pupils themselves, and girls as well as boys, are members of the leg- j islature. Despotism In school govern ! mont, as elsewhere, seems to be pass ing. The Willlamsport scheme embraces n constitution and bylaws under which the co-sex legislature works. It con sists of two bodies, of which the board of education may be called the senate; the other, Including pupils and two members of the faculty, is the house of representatives. The pream ble to the constitution says among oth er things: "ltealizing that we can repay the city and the state best by becoming good citizens and believing that self government in school affords the best training for a broader citizenship, we hereby Institute a representative gov ernment under the following condi tions," etc. This preparation for broad citizen ship includes girls as well as boys, mark you. Further, the admirable document governing the deliberations of this enlightened legislature, more enlightened than the congress of the United States, provides that the board of governors shall consist of two mem bers of the faculty and "a boy and girl from each class." Following along the line of perfect sex equality a lady and gentleman from the faculty were cho sen to represent that body on the gov erning board. A boy is president and a girl is secretary and treasurer. One notable feature of this system of gov ernment is that not even the board of education itself can pass regulations for the government of the pupils un less their own board concurs In the measure. They themselves help make the rules and help pass sentence on those who break them. Instead of be ing reported to a teacher, disorderly or improper conduct is reported to the board composed mostly of pupils them selves, and they pass sentence. This excellent arrangement will prevent schoolgirls from acquiring the name of spies and tattlers, which some of them occasionally get. ELEANOR WINKELMANN.

The relief had Just eome into the guardhouse , tired and irritable, especially one man, fi recrnlt who had not yet got used to guard duty. ' "If I ever get a chance," he said, "I'll pay off that little popplnjay. To think j of me, a grown man, bein' under or ders from a snlji like that!" "Who are you talkin' about?" asked j the sergeant of the guard, with four I service stripes on his sleeve. "Lieutenant Bumble." "See hero, man, If you want to shoot words at Lieutenant Bumble you'd better fire In hearln' of some one elso j besides Sergeant Conover. P'r'aps I i been face to faco with death ! In company with Lieutenant Bumble, and p'r'aps it wasn't his pluck that i key' me up when I was ready to drop with fear of cold murder." "Give us that, Conover," said a voice | from a farther corner of the guard- J room. "It's this," said the sergeant. "We I was pushln' the Spaniards In towards I Santiago and spreadln' ourselves out to git round 'em. Our regiment was j movln* to the right, and our company ; was ordered to the front. The captain sent Lieutenant Bumble—Just reported from West Point and more of a baby j faced chap than he is now—ahead to report on the topography of the coun ! try and keep a sharp lookout for the —th, which was comln' from the oppo j site direction to Join us. I was with him and eight men, besides a telygraph operator with his machine. I "Well, we'd got five or six miles from the regiment and was steppln' into a ! pocket between two hills covered with j timber when of a sudden we heard voices behind, beside and before us j callln' in the dirty Spanish lingo to sur ; render. Since there was hundreds of j 'em and only ten of us we satis tied j 'em. An officer stepped up to the lieu- j tenant and jabbered Spanish at him , for awhile. Then another officer come up and said in broken English: " 'What's your name?' " 'Bumble.' " 'Rank?' " 'Lieutenant.' " 'The citizen?' "By this time the lleutennnt had seen j tho Spaniards eyln' the telygraph ma- i chine under the arm of the 'clt' and suspected some sneakin' business. " 'An engineer,' he said, lyln' like a ! man. " 'No, he isn't. He's a telygraph op erator. Now, Lieutenant Bumble, send | a message to your colonel that the j way Is clear and to come right on.' "'I can't do that,' said the lieuten ant. " 'Very well. You and your men can i stand up there lit line while we put a ' volley into you.' "The lieutenant didn't weaken a bit, but some of the men did, and the tely- ; graph operator said, 'l'll send the Dies- | sage.' " 'That'll do,' said the Spaniard. "The operator connected with the ' wires, the lieutenant abused him for a coward, and Jest as all was ready the i • "clt' began to cry like a woman, and, i turnln' round, he wrung his hands, ba wlln': " 'I can't do it, and I won't!' I " 'That's the stuff for yon!' said Bumble, sinilin'. 'I kuowed you could not do It.' [ "'Get Into line, you pigs!' said tho Spaniard, ragln', and, glvin' one after tho other a shove, he made us stand touchln' elbows. Then, callln' with his j Jabberin' tongue, a platoon come out of the woods, we standin' with our backs ta 'em. " 'Will you do it?' said the Spaniard to the 'cit.' " 'Yes, if the lieutenant will order me.' " 'No, you won't even if I order you. You're only foolln' to gain time. Fire away, dago!' "'You little villain!' said the Span iard. 'lt's you that's sacriflcln' your men needlessly. We'll get him out of the way, and then the rest of you'll come to your senses.' "The men stepped aside, all but one, aud the flrin' party was glttln' ready with their pieces"— "Hold on, Conover. Who was the 'all but one?'" "Never you mind that. I'm not tell in' my own story. I'm tellin' the lieu tenant's. The lieutenant turned and faced 'em. I'll never forget the beau tiful expression on his face. All his rolllckin' was gone, for it was himself alone ho had to brace up now, and he seemed bent only 011 dyln' without showln' himself tho coward most any man would before such a death. " 'What're you thinkin' about, lieu tenant?' I asked, rubbln' the tears out of my eyes. " 'My mother,' he said, soleinnlike. "Then I heard somethln' familiar— rVrVrVr—and I seen tho Spaniards mowed down like wheat before a reap in' machine.

Where great strength and large capac ' ity are demanded the frame circular silo will best meet the requirements. This form of silo can be made quite durable by plastering the inside with cement. The circular stave silo, owing to its simplicity and economical con struction, seems to fully meet the re quirements of the farmer. With this ! form of silo properly erected the waste ■ of silage is reduced to the minimum. Perhaps more serious losses have re : suited through lack of proportion be j tween the size of the silo and the amount of silage fed daily than from | any other cause. The mistake is very i generally made in having the exposed • surface too large. An excellent rule is | to so construct the silo that the hori zontal feeding area for each cow will I not exceed live or the extreme limit of six square feet. Hoops for the silo can be made of any suitable material, such as half inch, seven sixteenths inch or live eighths inch round Iron, one-eighth i inch flat iron two inches wide or wire, j For a silo twelve feet or less in diame | ter seven sixteenths inch round iron j will be sufficient. The round hoops 1 nre more generally used and give good satisfaction. These can be put on in sections and held in position by means of lugs or may be fastened in stud ding, as shown 111 the second cut. The woven wire fence hoop is often used since it is regarded as being very eco nomical. Doo/s may be simply sawed out, as shown in the tirst cut, or made con tinuous from the bottom to the top of the nilo. The latter form will slightly increase the cost of the silo, but it is thought to possess sufficient advan tages over the former to more than jus tify the additional expense.

For youth means oeauty, and beauty means health, and the skillful beauty specialists aceoin pllsh all their successes by means of rational methods based on a careful study of the causes that may affect to its detriment the health of the skin. In the dim back ages of the world of civilization beauty was made $i cult of the utmost moment, hut for many 'i century after the downfall of theOreck and Roman empires such matters were allowed to languish. Not until the de clining years of the nineteenth century was the subject reinstated as one of paramount Interest. Rut today beauty Specialists abound—some for face treat ment, others for manicure und again many more for electrolysis. Of course these treatments are ex pensive, but it is worth much to a wo man to be rid of a careworn expres sion. Moreover, to feel that her youth and therefore her beauty is somewhat restored lias a beneficial influence upon her mental state. Rut whoever fancies that the modern husband is to be pitied for the cost of his wife's beauty preservatives should consider the toilet expenses of a Ro man lady in the comparatively early days of the world's history. Excessive as may appear the time and money spent now upon the art of beauty cultl vation, the grooming of a modern worn an of fashion seems invested with an admirable simplicity compared with the time and money thus expended in the days of Poppa-a and Agrippina. In the early days of Rome three classes of slaves assisted at t..c toilet of a lady of fashion. On leaving her bed, which was usually at noon, she immediately went to her bath, where she was carefully rubbed with pumice stone. She then put herself in the hands of the cosmotes, n class of slaves who possessed many secrets for pre serving and beautifying the complex- Ion; therefore their functions were con sidered of the greatest importance, es peelally as they claimed for their arts hygeian advantages. Ry the cosmotes her face was thor oughly sponged with asses' milk, then massaged with various mixtures corre sponding in intention to the "skin food" of these days; with ashes of snails and of large ants, bruised and burned in salt; with honey in which the bees had been smothered; with the fat of a pul let mixed with onion—oh, shades of Araby! And, lastly, the fat of a swan was vigorously applied, to which was attributed the property of removing wrinkles. Red spots were effaced with a piece of woolen cloth steeped in oil of roses, and freckles were treated with a scrnping of sheepskin mixed with 'ill of Corsica, to which was added the powder of frankincense. Then appeared the second class of Blaves, armed with pinchers and porcu pine quills. One of them extracted ev ery hair, however minute, from the face of her mistress, and another clean ed the teeth with grated pumice stone, with marble dust and finally with a toothpick of porcupine quill. A third class of slaves, who were Gre cian, colored eyebrows, eyelashes and hair to the shade of "my lady's" taste. Iler lips were treated with red pomade, but if chapped they were first rubbed with the luslde of a sheepskin, then covered with the ashes of a burnt mouse mixed with fennel roots. The last touches of the toilet were given by the favorite attendant, the slave kept by every patrician Roman woman for the sole purpose of apply ing fragrant unguents. Each part of the body had its own unguent—the hair had sweet marjoram, the neck and knees wild thyme, the arms balsam, the cheeks and breast palm oil, the feet and legs saffron. Then after a final sprinkling of Indian perfumes on hair and dress the favored slave in order that the finished work might be appre ciated banded to her mistress a mirror. It was not of silver—those were so common they were used only by slaves but a costly thing of gold, ornamented with precious stones, held by n bundle of mother of pearl, the mirror itself formed of a composite of several met als so exquisitely polished .'is to be not inferior to glass, which was then un known. Ah, the modern husband may be con gratulated that his lines were not cast in the days of Brutus and Cato of Utica!— Washington Star.
