P, 0. 8. OF A- CONVENTION
Opens Its Sessions At Danville February
22nd, 1900-
Over One Hundred Delegates Present, Rep
resenting Montour and Columbia
Counties,
The Columbia Montour county
joint convention, of the Patiiotic Or
der Sons of America, opened its an
nual sessions, on Thursday, Feb. 22,
1900, at Danville, in the hall of Camp
364, at 10:15 a. m.
There are twenty-one camps in the
district, and each ca.np should have
been represented by five delegates,
but owing to the disagreeable weather
which prevailed throughout the day,
the full number was not present.
T. Osborne Eyeily, in the absence
of Dr. H. F. Hower, called the con
vention tc order, and the following
order of business was carried out:
Frayer by Rev. F. S. Vought, state
chaplain; singing of "Columbia the
Gem of the Ocean." The minutes of
the previous convention, which was
held at Bloomsburg, Feb. 22, 1899,
were read, and approved as corrected.
At this time the regularly elected
M. of F., Dr. C. C. Shultz, was pres
ent, therefore it was his duty to take
the chair, which he did, and presided
over the entire morning session, re
lieving Mr. Eyerly. He appointed
the following committees: On cre
dentials, F. S. Vought, Eugene White
night and J. S. Waltz; on resolutions,
J. O. Eyerly, James V. Wilson and
Dr. C. C. Shultz; on press, J. O. Eyerly,
A. W. Blecher and W. C. Thomas.
The credential committee was call
ed on and the report they rendered
was very encouraging-nmetecn camps
having their representatives present,
therefore with tiie twelve officers.there
were in attendance, entitled to a vote
107 members.
At the last convention, the presi
dent trom each camp was instructed,
that at this convention they were to
render a report, which was done, and
showed a magnificent increase both
in membership and finance in both
counties, during the past year.
The morning session concluded with
the nomination of officers, and the
convention adjourned at 12:10 p. m,
to re-convene at 2 p. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Through the illness of a patient,
Dr. C. C. Shultz was called to the
country, thus preventing him to be
present at the opening of the after
noon session, therefore Ralph Kisner,
of camp 336, District President for
Northern Columbia county, called
the conventiou to order.
The election of officers for the en
suing year was taken up and resulted
as follows: President, Ralph Kisner
of camp 336; vice oresident, C. S.
Waltz, camp 540; M. of F., Eugene
Whitenight, camp 319; conductor,
Geo. Labor, camp 503; inspector, H.
C. Knapp, camp 657; guard, A. W.
Blecher, camp 364; secretaries, J. E.
Snyder, camp 684; James V. Wilson,
camp 364; E. A. Brown, camp 17;
treasurer, A. B. Henrie, camp 17;
chaplain, F. S. Vought, camp 105;
executive committee, H. H. Brown,
camp 17; W. C. Thomas, camp 336;
A. H. Kline, camp 540.

Ralph Kisner of camp 336, delivered
an address which was over flowing
The Eminent Kidney

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because ao decep

it heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble Is allowed to ad
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright"!

with patriotic sentiments. He held
the entire assembly spell bound as he
portrayed the illustrious Washington
from the cradle to the Presidency.and
related to the character of the "Father
of His Country," as a patriot, a citizen
and a soldier. From the applause he
received, when he had finished, was
evidence that his discourse was pleas
ing to all. Mr. Kisner is a young
man of great oratorical ability.
Hon. William Chrisman of ramn
319, cx-memoer ot the Legislature,
spoke patriotically, and told of how
the bills of reading the Bible in the
Public Schools, and the floating of
the American Flae over samp. wpn
treated when presented before that

which was passed by the House, but
cut in two by the Governor.
Dr. C, C. Shultz of camp 364, also
delivered a brief address for the good
of the order, which was well received.
The address of welcome was the
work of J. Osborne Eyerly of camp
364, and upon which occasion the
young gentleman enlogized the Ameri
can Flag and the public institutions of
the United States in a masterly man
ner, and at intervals was interrupted
by deafening applause. He spoke of
how this country, although the young
est of any, has grown and accompl'sn
ed achievements which seem to be
almost impossible, and that now, it
has the honor of being the greatest on
the Globe, and fears none. He also
related to the Public Schools, the bul
wark of our country's greatness, and
how they should be zealously guarded
by every American. He said the
people of the United States know
what free education means, and fully
understand the meaning of the words,
Knowledge is Power."
The members of Washington Camp
364, must be commented upon as
royal entertainers. The room was
beautifully decorated with the National
colors, and presented a very fine ap
pearance. The portrait of Washing,
ton was conspicuously displayed and
the ceiling represented several hand
some designs. They made every dele-
HARTMAN'S
gate as welcome as though they were
seated in their own camp room.
The convention adjourned at 4:25
p. m. to meet at Berwick, Feb. 22,
1901, and it is earnestly requested
that all delegates will be in attend

Bishop Chaplain McCabe will
lecture for your people on forth coming

lecture on the "Sunny Side ot Libby
Prison." It is well worth hearing. He
will make you laugh and cry. The
auditorium of the M. K. Church will
be densely crowded to hear this elo
quent Bishop, who was incarcerated
in Libby along with Col. C. G. Jack
son (deceased) of Berwick; and, doubt
less, he will preach on Sabbath, and
pulpit eloquence will be palpably
demonstrated in his sermons. The
