SAD SCENE AT FATHER S GRAVE Herbert Hcfcts, Who Ran Away, Arrives H:me Just In Time. A special dispatch from Wilkesbarre relates a very touching episode in con nection with the funeral of Herbert Hobbs, the former resident of this county who was buried at Plymouth on Tuesday afternoon. It appears that one of the sons .of the deceased, Herbert Hobbs, Jr., some time previously, after a quarrel with his father rati away from home joining Lowery'a circus. When his father died every effort was made to locate young Herbert by tele graph but without avail. It was not un til Tuesday morning that lie received news of his father's death. He was then at Shenandoah, without a mo ment's delay he hurried to Plymouth, arriving there alter the funeral had started to the cemetery. He hired a carriage and rushed after the funeral overtaking it as it reached the grave side and there the coffin was opened for him that he might see the face of the father from whom he parted in anger. He fell heartbroken on the coffin. Their Busy Season. The Danville Stove & Manufacturing Compauy has put upon the market this season a heater new both in construc tion and outward design, which has proved one of the best sellers ever turn ed out at the plant. The stove has a large oval front, heavily nickeled and in addition to its handsome appearance has demonstrated its success purely as a heater. It is known as Beaver Heater No. 115. The demand fur the new stove far sur passes expectations, the capacity of the piant not permitting its manufacture in anything like the quantities needed. Another line of heating apparatus manufactured here for which there is a steady an I growing demand is the large cellar heater, which lias been on the marke' for the last ten years and which in its general merits has reflected no little credit upon the enterprise of our town and the skill of local workmen. Never during the history of the plant has it been flaode I with orders as at present. Every department is busy and will be obliged to putin full time be tween this and the holiday?. The Stove Works is one of our most valuable industries and the employes seem a happy and contented lot. In c dentally it might be mentioned that nearly the best wages earned in Dan ville are paid at the Stove Works, where in the foundry it is no unusual thin< for i he moulders to average $6 per day. Charles B. Hanford's Success. It is gratifying to note that Charles B. Hanford has achieved the greatest success of his career as Petruchio in Shakespeare's immortal comedy, "The Taming of the Shrew'' which he will present in this city at the Opera House, on Saturday, Oct. 12. No other living actor in America has scored so many triumphs in the legitimate field as Mr. Hanford, either individually, or in con junction with other well known stars. He may well be said to be the link con necting the Shakespeariau eras of the past and present in this country; for in the past his name was deemed worthy to be coupled with such illustrious ac tors as Edwin Booth. Lawrence Barrett and Thomas W. Keene, while several of the leading artists of the present day have shared stellar laurels with Mr. Hanford. Inasmuch as ' 'The Taming of the Shrew'' is the most popular of Shakesjieiire's comedies a large audience will undoubtedly greet him this season. His supporting company is headed by Helen Grantly the beautiful actress con cerning whom so much has been writ ten lately in the leading metropolitan newspapers and magazines. A Misconception Corrected. While speaking about the corning of Phinnev's wonderful band to our city Nov. 15, 1901, a gentleman asked the question whether this engagement, at so great a price, would not necessitate inferior and cheap talent for the remain ing four numbers of the Y. M. C. A. Star Course for 11)01 1902. Logical as this conclusion may seem, we areautlior atively assured, that the course, as a whole, will be strictly first class. Each and every number is especially strong. Dr Hedley the Mozart Symphony Club. —Dewitt Miller and th** Central Orand Concert Co., are all attractions of merit and each has gained for itself a nniveral and deserved reputation for high stand ard of excellence. There positively is not a weak or cheap attraction among the five numbers constituting the Course.

An important event next week will be : tLie Third Sunday school convention of , , the Fourth District of the Danville Con ! ference of the Ministerium of Pennsyl vania, which will be held in the Triniiy ! Lutheran church, this city, on Wednes* day. A large number of delegates from the wide territory represented will at ! tend the convention, all of whom will 'be entertained by families in the cjn ' ' gregation. The first session will open at 1 .'SO p. m. Service will bo conducted hy Kev. A. I'. Lentz. Two subjects will be disc*ssed during ( the afternoon. The first, "What i- Snn- I day School?" by Kev. D.

The money is lost. All its value goes for nothing. When the stomach is diseased, with the allied organs of digestion and nutrition, the food which Ls put into it is largely lost. The nutriment is not extracted from it. The body is weak and the blood impoverish ' ed. ' The pocket can be mended. The stomach can be cured. That sterling ; medicine for the stomach and blood, Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery, acts with peculiar promptness , and power on the organs of digestion and nutrition. It is a positive cure for almost all disorders of these organs, t and cures also such diseases of the heart, j blood, liver and other organs, as have , their cause in a weak or diseased condi tion of the stomach. Buckwheat Crop. Buckwheat flour lias made its appear ance on the market, retailing at the rate of 65 cents per 25 pounds. As might have been inferred from the thriving appearance presented by the fields here abouts before the harvest was cut, the buckwheat crop this year is exception ally large, surpassing any yield, it i-* said, during the last thirteen years. The farmers just now are busy thresh ing out the crop of buckwheat and there is not a steam thresher anywhere that i> not busy every day of the week. Mr. Alex. Moore of Hush township has a crop of 265 bushel*), which he has no trouble in disposing of at 50 cents per bushel. Not only is the straw, this year, unusually heavy, but, he says, the grain overruns in weight, a fact which would indicate thorough development of the grain, which in turn ought to in sure the best possible quality of flour. So that the lover of buckwheat cakes, this year, may look forward to a feast royal. Mr. Moore has had a great ileal of experience both in growing buckwheat and in marketing the flour. He says the demand is not so great as might be imagined. The best market lies in Dan ville, Lewisburg, Milton, Sunbury, Bloomsburg and like towns where the population is largely American. For eigners, such as make up the bulk of population inShamokin and other towns of the coal regions, care little for buck wheat flour and would not buy it even if it were sold lower than wheat flour. This may De due to the fact that they have not learned how to bake buck wheat cakes, a purely American art, which unfortunately is not always mast ered by Americans. ITS COMMON. The heat of past summer left a great many people in a run down condition that ordinary methods would not recruitsome in Danville. Sometimes the question is asked what diseases are Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills good for? They are a little differ ent from ordinary medicine they do not deal so much with disease as with the cause of common and prevalent symp toms which they dispel by removing the cause. Lack of Nerve Force is what ails most people these days- Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills touch the hidden springs that create Nerve Force and help comes to the w±ak spots. Mr. George Hale of No. 13* W Mah oning Street, Danville, Pa., says:—"As the result of heat prostration last sum mer I have since suffered a great deal from nervousness. I have such frequ ent and presistent headaches and both ered so much from sleepessness. I got some of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh's drug store and they did me a world of good I could feel their in vigorating effect right away and could sleep as sound and well as ever." Dr. A. W.

"Uncle Josh Spruceby." A plain story, told in simple yet dra matic language which interprets the lives and actions of really honest people has always claimed the undivided ad miration of the play-going public. If such a tale is well staged and dramati cally rendered it becomes an epoch cre ation of the dramatic cycle. While "Uncle Josh Spruceby" does not lay any claim to being the most original play of its kind that has been offered to the public, yet its makers do say that it is one of the kind of stage stories that will please the masses, from the top to the lower floors of any theatre in which it will Ik* produced.

Among the illustrations Friday re lating to the visiting firemen the Phila delphia "North American" had a large cut of a lot of Danville firemen who had climbed to the ioof of the "North Ameri can" building to have their picture taken. Artistically the cut was not a success, although about as good as the average newspaper illustration of the present day, and it required a pretty i:i --t mate acquaintance with those in the group to recognize their features. The firemen posing belong to the Goodwill Company. A FITTING TRIBUTE. A citizen of Danville pays a well-earned tribute. The following public statement of a respected citizen adds one more emphat ic endorsement of merit to tie scores that have appeared before. Mr. Thos. Lewis, of Mill Street, says "I was not well for a long time. When working, my back became so lame and pained me and after getting home at night I could hardly straighten. Mead aches and weariness disinclined me for anything and in addition 1 was troubled with indigestion. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and as my doctor's medi cine did me so little good, I got them and found the most satisfactory results from their use. They are the only rem medy which ever gave me permanent re lief." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cts. Foster Milbnrn Co., Buffalo. N. V., sole agents for the U. S.

There I* ii Ilenntlfnl Dlnplay of Them ut the I'nn-Aniericnn— The (inrdrnN of the I Ity of I.lifht Arc One of Iln Mom Attractive Fcaturei. ) ArtNtle Hcenen Which the Lover of Beauty Should Sot Kail to Sec. The Pan-American is one of the greatest flower shows that ever was, but there are so many other things in which it is great that tlie rarity and beauty of its floral features are per haps apt to be overlooked. If people , would take more time to allow the ar tistic and beautiful features of the Ex- i position to impress their senses and j permeate their inmost being instead of , racing from one part of the grounds to j another, trying to see every exhibit , and every show on the Midway, they ' would go home feeling greater benefit i from their stay in tlie Rainbow City. The Pan-American is full of gardens J which tempt the visitor to rest awhile and drink In the beauties of nature. It ( may seem surprising that in the month of October there are flowers worth looking at, but such is the fact. The rains of the past few weeks have kept the landscape as fresh and beautiful as in May and June, and as one flower goes out of the scene another takes its place. On opening day the hyacinths filled the air with their dainty fra grance, in June tulips lifted their proud heads, later in the month of brides and sweet girl graduates came roses, with their rich perfume, and as the summer passed the other flowers In their sea- | son sprang up as if by magic to take the place of those which had done their blossoming and served their turn in the entertainment of the visitors to the City of Light. And now one sees the | tall canna, the gay geranium and such , old fashioned flowers as grandmother's j garden bad—the phlox, t lie pink, the J begonia, the petunia and other posies | which are no less beautiful because they do not happen to lie novel. In entering the grounds by the Elm- < wood gate visitors pass two tall and curious looking trees, which perhaps few in their anxiety to reach the heart ' of the Exposition stop to notice. If ' they realized that they were century plants just budding, a thing which, as , all know, century plants only do once In a long, long time, they would doubt less stop and look with open mouths and wondering gaze. It is a sigh* which one cannot see very often any where else. One of these century plants Is nearly forty feet in height. The Hoso Onrdciiß around tlie Wom an's building, having for their back- ( ground the outlines of the Spanish renaissance buildings about the main court and the Electric Tower looming up at its north end, with the Mirror Lakes and the Triumphal Bridge and the groups of statuary abounding, form a scene whose artistic aspect must ap peal to even the least aesthetic visitor. The cannas are very effective decora tive plants, with their tall leaves in green and red and brown. A rich canna one sees here is named Governor Roosevelt. It would seem appropriate now to change its name to President Roosevelt. On the opposite side of the Tri umphal Bridge is the Wooded Island, and here one roams amid old fashioned flowers, growing as though they had sprung up there all by themselves with out any assistance from the landscape gardener and his corps of assistants. But of course that is not the case. The studied carelessness of the gardening of this island Is only one of the pretty deceits employed to produce the im pression that it is all the work of Moth er Nature herself. Have you seen the fairylike effects In the garden about the Fountain of Abundance at night? It is one of the new things. This small garden is very beautiful by day, and at night electric lights of different colors have been hid den among the flowers and planks, so that one sees the surface of the ground dotted with these little spots of light, bringing out the beauty of the flowers, and all forming a scene impossible to describe, but very charming indeed to witness. It is quite a pretty surprise even to old Pan-American visitors. Did you ever notice in crossing the Court of Lilies, south of the Machinery building, a heavy vapor arising from the basin in the center of that court? Sometimes it has so much the appear ance of smoke that people think some thing must be atire In the garden, but it is only the steam or vapor created by the heating of the water in that ba sin for the benefit of the tropical lilies which grow therein. These lilies, which are known as the Victoria Itegia, have enormous leaves, some of them three feet in diameter. Other gardens where there are flow ers in bloom during this month of Oc tober are those in front (if the United States Government building and the Horticulture group, where the gay ge raniums and sweet petunias contrast their colors with the green flags grow ing in the basin and with the white statuary disposed along their slopes. There was a tioral fete fit the Exposi tion during the first week of October, and this in its way, of course, was an affair of much beauty and magnifi cence; but, as a matter of fact, there have been floral fetes at the Pan-Amer ican since opening day. Ilou to T«'ll (loorl Oil vp*. Eminent physicians prescribe olives larnely for all sorts of nervous dis eases, for Indigestion and gastritis. They warn only against poor olives, which are far from healthful. A per fect olive is of a yellowish green tinge, hard, and when bitten the mouthful is entire, not mushy or spongy. The stone should have a pinkish color, and the Bineii ought to be fresh and agree able, says Good Housekeeiring. WIN to Par.

LANCEBOATS. ft n ino e 111 vent ion oi n IJermnn Adopt ed by the KnNer'it Army. It has always been a matter of much difficulty to provide bodies of cavalry with vessels for crossing streams. Ihe German army has in the past been using cumbrous folding boats that had to be carried by wagons. But a Oer man inventor, Ilerr Adolf Hey, has devised a new boat that has revolution ized the transportation system of that, army. A description of the contriv ance has lately been given by n writer in I ber Land und Meer. The vessel is called a lanceboat for the reason that its frame is built up by means of the lances carried by German troopers. With 12 or 10 lances six men can build a boat in five minutes. In two minutes they can take that boat I I BOAT FRAME OF LANCES AND CONNECTING MEMBERS. apart. In two minutes the frame Is i spanned with a waterproof piece of 1 canvas, and the boat is ready for service. j Lances suitably covered with canvas | arc used as oars. The oar blade con sists of a strip of canvas two feet long i and six inches broad, upon which slats ' are sewed. Such a rudder blade can i be readily rolled up and thrust into i one's pocket. The connecting members and locking devices used in assembling the boat frame, together with the rudder blades, weigh 44 pounds, the canvas 20 pounds, in all 72 pounds. By reason of this small weight a single horse can carry I the parts of two boats. i - ~ '^-4 I The sun is about 92,000,000 miles off. | The only way of measuring the dis j tance of a fixed star is by parallax, aud ' scarcely more than half a dozen can be ; estimated that way. Suppose the sun is here. In space, on ! Jan. 1. On July I lie will be 18-1,000,000 miles over there. This is the base of i measurement. The observer who wants to estimate the distance of, say, the star A Ccnturl notes its position with ' regard to the next star, i In six months he notes again, and if they are separated by a different dis | tance a so called parallax is established | and some calculation can be made of ! the distance of the nearest one. In the most favorable cases this parallax Is i extremely light. llinh Mountains of llie Moon, i The Leibnitz range attain enormous altitudes above the average level of the moon's surface and are sometimes seeu projected far beyond the regular c-urva ! ture of disk, thus destroying the circu lar contour and giving it a notched or serrated aspect. Several of the peaks i of these southern mountains measure [ 30,000 feet in altitude, while one has beeu estimated to attain the great height of 30,000 feet. The Martian Canals. Considerable doubt has been thrown ! upon the supposed artificial origin of the Martian canals by the discovery that they cross the polar caps and also by their reported detection in Venus, ; Mercury and two of Jupiter's satel lites. Oonlile Trouble. Two tearful little maids 1 met Who looked as like as pins. I asked, "What is the trouble, dears*" They answered, "We are twins!" "It seems to make you weep," said I. "Why, yes, and you would, too, If you were both of us," -aid they, "And both of us were you. ! "We always have to dress alike.

An English physician writing to a medical journal suggests that the use of limewater. prepared fresh, for watering streets in hot weather would prove to be a practice productive of sanitary comfort. The advantages claimed for the practice are said to be those, flrst. of aggregating together loose particles of refuse and thus pre venting their being diffused by the wind; second, of exercising a certain antiseptic action; third, of preserving wood paving, and, fourth, of rendering wood less slippery. An unusual mosquito plague is re ported in many sections of eastern Car olina, according to a dispatch from Ra leigh to the Richmond Times. It is reliably stated that an unknown minis ter while traveling with a small child through Ilyde county was obliged tc tie up the child in a large paper sack to prevent the mosquitoes from liter ally devouring the child alive, and the minister was himself nearly overcome when he reached Fairfield and in $ large measure escaped the onslaughts of the ravenous insects.
