A Profitable Deposit.
I remember the case of an old lady at
E. who usually had from £13,000 to
£15,000 standing to her credit, and,
needless to say, as she did not ask for
any Interest thereupon, none was al
lowed her. The manager whenever
she entered the office was always most
particular to step forward and Inquire
most tenderly concerning the state of
her health, and if she replied that she
was suffering from a slight cold the
expression upon the man's face grew
quite sad. No wonder, when he re
membered that even a slight cold might
carry off an old lady who was handing
his company at least £3OO a year.—

There is no gaim* extant which so
admirably combines euucational and
recreative features or which is in every
way so well adapted for a popular and
profitable amusement among refined
and appreciative classes as draughts.
Its Influences are of an elevating char

tience and perseverance, courage and
courtesy, self reliance and self control.
The game is also peculiarly and self
evidently worthy of paternal encour

SOLID PHALANX
OF IDLE MINERS
Greets Leader—Strikers on Par
ade in Wilkesbarre Streets.
REVIEWED BY MITCHELL.
Wilkesbarre, Oct. 3. A great, peace
able army of 12.000 striking miners par
aded the streets of Wilkesbarre Tuesday
This same army increased to about I*'».-
OHO, when the largest gathering of mm
ers ever seen in the anthracite region
assembled at West Side Park yester
day to hear John Mitchell, President
of the United Mine Workers of America.
All interest, not oidv of the strikers,
but of people, gathered here from miles
around, centred in Mitchell. He was
the star attraction of the day. Crowds
met him at the depot, followed bin to
the hotel, surrounded his carriage, col
lected around him wherever he happen
ed to be, and, at every opportunity,
shook hands with him. all of which
went to show that this entire section of
the anthrrcite field is enthusiastic over
this man and the cause he stands for.
WHY IT SUCCEEDS.
Because It's for One Thing Only and
Danville is Learning This.
Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one tiling well brings success
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They 're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney ill.
Here is Danville evidence to prove it;
Mr. John Lewis of Mill street, says:—
"I was not well for a long time. When
working my back became so lame and
pained ine and after getting homo at
night I could hardly straighten. Head
aches and weariness disinclined me for
anything, and in addition I was troubl
ed with indigestion. I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills and as my doctor 's
medicines did me so little good, I got
them and found the most satisfactory
results from their use. They are the
only remedy which ever gave me per
manent relief."

TROOPS AT SHENANDOAH.
Shenandoah, October, B.—General
Gobin last night expressed himself as un
certain when the next movement of
troops from here would take place.
Numerous communications have been
sent to Governor Stone by residents of
this locality, urging him to keep the
troops here expressing the fear that
their departure would be followed by
lawlessness. These letters have been
forwarded to General Gobin, who is
making every effort to secure definite
information concerning the conditions
in all parts of the region before send
ing any more troops away.
Quinine for Colds.
Many people who use quinine for the
cure of colds say that the effect of this
drug is more disagreeable than the dis
ease. Krause's Cold Cure is prepared
in a convenient capsule form, and will
cure the most deeply seated cold in 24
hours without any interruption to busi
ness. They are pleasant to take and
give you a clear, fresh sensation while
operating. Price 25c. Sold by Rossman
& Son's Pharmacy.
DAY FIXED FOR HEARING.
Harrisburg. October, B.—Judge Sim
onton has fixed October 20 for the re
turn of a rule granted by the court to
show cause why the appointment of a
receiver for the Fifth Avenue Savings
and Loan Association of McKeesport,
should not be vacated and the decree so
modified as to prevent the acceptance
of the offer of James Evans and J. K.
Selby to advance $9,600 the full amount
of the shortage of the association, and
the resumption of the control of its af
fairs by the directors.
Nature "makes all things beautiful in
their time" Every one of life's seasons
when life moves on Nature's lines, has
its own charm and beauty. Many
woman dread that period when they
must experience change of life. They
fear that face and form may suffer by
the change, and that they may fail to
please those whom they love. The val
ue of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescrip
tion in this crisis of woman's life lies in
the fact that it assists Nature. Its use
preserves the balance and buoyancy of
the mind and sustains the physical pow
ers. Many women have expressed their
gratitude for the help and comfort giv
en by "Favorite Prescription'' in this
trying period. Its benefits are not pass
ing but permanent and conduce to men
tal happiness as well as physical
strength.
Scholarship Appointments.
Harrisburg, October 3. —Governor
Stone has appointed Miss Ortena L.
Henderson, of Saltillo, Huntingdon
county, and Charles R. Sheeler, Jr., of
Philadelphia, to scholarships in the

South Before The War.
The colored quarters on a southern
plantation in old slavery days from the
scene reproduced in Harry Martell's |
mammonth production, "South Before
the War," which occnpie the stage of
the opera house Saturday evening. Buck
and wing dancing, a (rake walk for gold
and silver medals, jubilee songs and
dances, an old time colored camp meet
ing. pastimes on the levee, are a few of
the novelties offered. A more notable
one is the presentation of"The Passion
Play" in a series of animated piotures,
showing the performance of the Bibli
cal narrative, as enacted by the peasan
try of Horitz, Austria, to which so
many throng.
The performance of the play is the
best presentation of negro life on a
plantation, ever attempted, and it is a
pronounced hit wherever produced. It
is absolutely unique and different from
anything of the kind ever exploited.

How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common {{lass with
your water and let it stand twenty four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates an
unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it
stains your linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or
pain in the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO l>o.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed,thai Dr. Kilmer'sSwamp
lloot, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish in curing ihcumatisni, pain in
the back,kidneys, liver, bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. It corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, ami overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled togo often during the day and to
get up roauy times during the night. The
mild and the extraordinary ettect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists fifty cents or one dollar.
Youjmay have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to I)r. Kilmer & Co., Binsliam

mention that you read this generous of
er in the MONTOUR AMERICAN.

Tne readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages and t hat is Catarrh. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the bl<«xl and mucous surface of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing the work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

Cross AVotils Kill n Bird.
A bird which receives a scolding Is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as a child would be. To illustrate j
this Our Dumb Animals tells the fol- 1
lowing story:
A Massachusetts woman had a few '
years ago a beautiful canary bird
which she dearly loved and to which !
she had never spoken an unkind word
in her life.
One day the church organist was !
away, and she stopped after church to
play the organ for the Sunday school.
In consequence of this the dinner had '
to be put off an hour, and when she got
home her g'»'<l husband was very an- |
gry, and he spoke to her unkindly.
The things were put on, and they sat
down in silence at the table, and pros- i
ently the bird began to chirp at her as
It always had to attract her attention, j
To shame her husband for having spo
ken so she turned to the bird and for \
the first time in her life spoke to it in a
most violent and angry tone. In less
than five minutes there was a flutter- I
ing In the cage. She sprang to the |
cage. The bird was dead.
Mrs. Hendricks, the wife of the late !
vice president of the United States, }
said that she once killed a mocking
bird in the same way. It annoyed her i
by loud singing. To stop it she spoke
in a violent tone and pretended to
throw something at it, and within five
minutes it was dead.

The celebrated Mamertine prison fur- :
nishes an Important scene in Sienkle
wicz's story, "Quo Vadis." It is locat
ed on the slope of the Capitollne, in
Rome, and, according to tradition, it
was begun by Ancus Martius and later
enlarged by Servius Tullius. Jugurtlia
is said to have been starved to death
here, the accomplices of Catiline stran
gled by command of Cicero and Seja
nus, the minister and favorite of Tibe
rius, executed. Church tradition has
consecrated this prison as the place
where St. Peter and St. Paul were con
lined by order of Nero. Historian Hil
lard says of it:
"The Mamertine prison is a hideous
vault divided into an upper and lower
portion scooped out of the solid rock
and lined with massive blocks in the
Etruscan style of architecture. A more
heartbreaking place of confinement it
is not easy to Imagine. According to
the traditions of the church, St. Peter
was imprisoned here by order of Xero,
and the pillar to which he was bound
and a fountain which sprang up mlrac-
I ulously to furnish the water of baptism
| to his jailors, whom bo converted, are
; shown to the visitor. There is no rea
' son to doubt that Jugurtlia was starv
i ed to death in these pitiless vaults.
Ilcre, too, the companions of Catiline
were strangled. It is a curious fact
that the chances of literature and his
tory should have carved two such
| names as those of Sallust and Cicero
; on these Cyclopean walls."
Enifllsh lied Tape.
! At the present time, when the system
' of red tape is being attacked and rid-
I iculed, the following somewhat amus
i ing methods of dealing with matters
: are still adopted in one of the great
! government departments.
For instance, a hairbrush and «omb
| must be purchased under the bead of
I service "clothing," whereas a tooth
brush is under "fuel" and spectacles
1 under "medicines." A clothesbasket
1 is "clothing," but clothes pegs are "in
cidentals." The funniest of all, how
| ever, arc guano and straw, they being
I purchased under "victualing."
A good instance of red tape is told in
: connection with the excise. An officer
had entered in the inquiry column of
, ids return: "March 13. Dog dead."
This did not satisfy his superior, who
: told him to inquire again, which the
obedient officer did, recording: "April
10. Dog still dead."—London Stand
ard.
New York, Oct. 1. —The police have
| settled down to the theory that Charles
' S. Peck, the aged real estate dealer
j found dead early last Thursday morn
ing on Seventeenth street, was not
murdered, but after having fallen in
the street and fracturing his skull, was
robbed. John Syron is locked up in
! connection with the matter, but just
