For the past three seasons the famous
musical comedy "A Runaway Girl" has
been the theatrical triumph of the prin
cipal cities of the Union. It is duplicat
ing its success this season in the same
pronounced manner. After its remark
able run of six hundred nights in Lon
don at the Gaiety Theatre, it was pro
duced at Daly's Theatre, in New York
City and was an instantaneous success.
It remained there three hundred nights
and then made a tour of the larger
cities of the country and met with an
ovation everywhere. It will be pre
sented in this city at the Opera House
in the near future. Our theatre-goers
never fail to fully appreciate and take
advantage of the visit to this city of an
attraction possessing the merit and repu
tation of "A Runaway Girl," and with
out doubt the result will be "standing
room only" on the occasion of its ap
pearance here. One can confidently
look forward to an evening of pleasure
in witnessing this production and the
excellent company presenting it, and
will not come away disappointed. The
exceptionally clever comedian, Mr. Ar
thur Dunn, in conjunction with some
fifty other artists, comprising the Au
gustin Daly Company will appear in
this comedy.
•t * «
"Are You a Mason" a farce comedy
from the German. Light in treatment,
well constructed and teeming with many
distinctively novel comedy situations.
"Are You a Mason" is conceded by
critics the best farce comedy produced
by Rich & Harris. The statement to
his wife by one Amos Bloodgood, a
prominent citizen of Rockford, 111., that
he has followed her wishes that he be
come a Mason, (which he does not do)
but persuades her that he has, starts
the trouble and the fun. Later a pros
pective son-in-law uses the same me
dium to carry favor with Bloodgood's
wife and daughter. The horse play, etc.
indulged in by these fraudulent masons
is grotesque. Being unaware of each
other's duplicity they avoid one another
fearing to betray their ignorance of
things Masonic.
•? « *
Porter J. White will soon present his
version of Faust at the Opera House re
appearing in his favorite role of "Me
phistopheles." Miss Olga Verne is the
"Marguerite." The entire production is
liberally staged by Mr. White with
special «cenery, properties, electrical
aparatus, etc., for each act. The story
of Faust is the embodiment of a most
remarkable system of belief which found
its culmination in the Middle Ages.
What the effect of such a production,
hampered though it were by the in
sufficient stage effects of those days,
must have had on an audience which
faithfully believed in witchcraft and
actual demoniac possession and com
pacts with the evil one, we are utterly
unable to conceive. With tribunals all
over England and Germany, nay even
America, testifying to his evil compacts
and combinations with various unfor
tunate members of society, his Satantic
Majesty might think himself a more
active factor in human affairsthan he
is to -day.

On September 14th, l*ys, Rufns K
Polk was unanimously nominated as
I Democratic candidate for Congress of
' the seventeenth district. lie was elect
| ed to the Fifty sixth Congress, receiving
• 14.792 votes to 12,487 for William H.
1 Woodin, Republican, and I.for .1.
M. Caldwell, Prohibitionist. Mr. Polk's
i majority was an attestation of personal
j popularity especially flattering in view
iof the fact that his immediate prede-
J cessor in office, Hon. M. H. Kulp. was
elected by a Republican majority of
| 1400.
i He was re-elected in 1900 by an in
| creased majority of some 1">00. Al
though strongly urged by his friends in
various parts of the district to stand for
renomination early in February he made
the announcement that he would not be
a candidate, assigning as a cause tho
fact that the Structural Tubing works
and other interests with which he was
identified were beginning to make such
heavy demands upon his time and energy
as to interfere with the duties of his
office.
Mr. Polk was always keenlv interest
ed in local affairs. He was a member
of the board of Water Commissioners
from September, 1894, until the first of
January last, when he resigned. It was
in no small measure due to his persever
ing efforts that the splendid filtration
plant which has made Danville the
envy of all neighboring towns was in
stalled.
Mr. Polk was a member of the Epis
copal church. He served as a vestry
man of Christ church, this city, from
1895 uutil 1*99. He was a prominent
Freemason, a member of Mahoning
Lodge No. 51fi, F. &A. M., of Royal
Arch Chapter No. 239, of Calvary Com
manderv No. 37, K. T., of this city, and
of Irem Temple, Mystic Shrine, of
Wilkesbarre.
He was one of the Honorary Allium i
Trustees of Lehigh University. He was
a member of the < >rder of Elks and held
a membership in a number of social
organizations, among them the Univer
sity Club of Philadelphia and the Moneta
and the Penn Social Club of this city.
In the year 1892 Mr. Poik married
Miss Isabella Montgomery Grier. the
only daughter of I. X. Grier. Esq. Mrs.
Polk survives along with live small chil

WHAT DOES THIS LACK.
Surely Danville Readers Cannot ask for
Better Proof.
The Danville reader may ask for more
convincing proof than testimony pub
lished from representative residents of
neighboring cities, but as th»* proof we
offer has been decidedly convincing in
Bloomsburg, it should carry consider
able weight in Danville.

Leisenring living at Bear Gap. He suf

from pain in his back and loins. The

State Board of Health's Regulation.
The State Board of Health has adopt
ed resolutions requiring cuspidors in the
trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company and Philadelphia and Reading
Railway, and is attempting to secure
legislation inflicting a penalty for in
fringement of the rule. The tentative
provisions of the resolution require a
cuspidor for each seat in the smokers'
ears and one at either end of the day
coaches. In addition rigid sanitary pre
cautions will be required in the
thorough cleansing receptacles at the
end of each run.

There is comfort in the knowledge so

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra

But ty the Big Flood That Covered the
North Erar.oh District
F. C. Angle and John Waite of
the MONTOUR AMERICAN office left this
city on Wednesday of last week on a
business trip to New York City. They
left New York on Friday evening ex
pecting to reach home early Saturday
morning. When they arrived in Scranton
they found the rising waters had shut off
the railroad below that point. In sever
al hours, however, they reached Kings
ton and were compelled to remain there
until Tuesday morning. In the mean
time the newspaper colony was increas
ed by the addition of Major W. P.
Clarke, Inspector of the Third brigade,
N. <i. P., and a memberof the William
sport Gazette and Bulletin reportorial
staff and these three kept hourly tab on
the water and said things about it.
The Water continued to rise until
Sunday evening. <>n Monday a train
was successfully sent toScranton and on
Monday evening the Gazette and Bulle
tin man started for home by the only
Avenue open. He went to New York
city over the Lackawanna and then
came back to Williamsport over the
Pennsylvania.
The Wyoming district had two such
floods within four months. The pre- nt
flood is the highest in :i7 years. From
thf Hotel Sterling, in Wilkes-Barre, to
the hills on the west side of the river,
was a raging torrent It is said that
2.5(H) families were homeless in Will:* s-
Barre and that vicinity. All the church
es and school buildings in Kingston and
other places were thrown open to
shelter the people.
About a dozen people were drowned
and the cries of them could be plainh
heard as they were swept down the riv
er past Kingston.
On the flats between Kingston and
Wilkes-Barre the water was up to the
second story of the houses.
Mr. Angle reached Catawissa early
yesterday morning via the Pennsylvania
railroad. Passengers from Catawissa
were able to reach Danville byway of
the Reading railway. Mr Waite re

Danger of Colds and La Grippe.
The greatest danger from colds and
la grippe is their resulting in pneumon
ia. If reasonable care is used, however,
and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
taken, all danger will be avoided.
Among the tens of thousands who have
used this remedy for these diseases, we
have yet to learn of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is ;i certain preven
tive of that dangerous malady. It will
cure a cold or an attack of la grippe in
less time than any other treatment It
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale
by Paules & Co. 342 Mill street.
Danville may well consider herself
fortunate in sustaining so little damage
to property and no loss of life from the
high water which is ruinous in a large
degree in many sections of the country.
This great flood is not without its uses.
It will wash the channels of the river as
they have not been washed before in
years and when finally the water sub
sides both river and creek will have been
rendered much more wholesome than
they were before. Of course the flood
need not have been up to the mark of 'OS
in order to accomplish all that sanita
tion requires, but the real philosopher
will console himself with the glad
thought that the water didn't rise high
enough to carry away buildings, under
mine property, stop the water works and
do great and serious damage to the in
dustries of the town.
How to Cure the Grippe.
Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as direct
ed and a quick recovery is sure to follow.
The remedy counteracts any tendency
of the grip to result in pneumonia, which
is really the only serious danger. Among
the tens of thousands who have used it
for the grip, not one case has ever been
reported that did not recover. For sale
by Paules & Co. 342 Mill street.

DANVILLE'S GREATFLOOD
(Continued from first page.)
Ward were urged to vacate on Saturday
evening when the water first began to
surround the place, but they refused to
move. Sunday morning the entire
tract was under water, which had
risen in the first story higher than the
cooking stove. Perry Mover and John
Weir visited the house in a boat and
fouud the old couple nearly perished
with cold and hunger, the fires having
been *ll extinguished and the food
rendered unfit to eat by the flood. They
were kindly cared for Sunday at the
home of John McCall, West Mahoning
street.
The Etter family on the river road
were obliged to abandon their home on
Saturday night.
The D. L. & W. station during the
whole of Sunday was inaccessible, the
water early in the day rising above the
platform and flooding the office. The
residents uii I). L. A: Y»". Avenue as
usual came in for a bitter experience.
No one could approach nor leave the
houses without wading knee deep.
As the water continued to rise last
night the flood crept out 0%-er Lower
Mulberry street as far as the residence
of Samuel Bloch. The houses on the
South side of Lower Mulberry street as
well as on D. L. & W. Avenue fared
badly enough, and it required but a
slight rise at 10 o'clock to bring the
flood up to the first story. All along
Mill street up to nearly midnight the
merchants were busy removing all goods
that were stored in proximity to the
floor. Tables and stands were im
provised and upon these and on the
higher shelves the wares were piled
promiscuously. Thus it will be seen,
if the water reached the limit of '<>•">
it will not find our farsighted merchants
altogether unprepared.
Traffic on all our railroads has been
suspended since Saturday. The last
train which passed through Danville,
was on the P. & R. railway Saturday
night a belated accommodation train
from Tamaqua to West Milton, which
passed through here at 8:0.> o'clock. No
less than five trains are stranded at
South Danville. In the number are No.
1"). W. H. Shaffer, conductor ami Thom
as Attig, engineer, due here at 12:15 p.
m.. unci train No. 1, Robert Kline, con
ductor. and George Rose, engineer, due
here at 1 :>1 ii.m. Both trains arrived
at the station on Saturday at an hour
long over due. The track below Kipp's
Run is submerged, while the entire
stretch of road between Little Roaring
Creek and Catawissa is under deep wat
er. The trainmen say it will be Tues
day at furthest before they will be able
to get away from South Danville. The
ci'-ws. combined, number some thirty
men and their presence makes tilings
pretty lively about the station. On the
P. & R railway traffic may be resumed
between Rupert and West Milton to
day, but this of course, is uncertain.
On Saturday the river was full of
fl >ating ice; Sunday little ice was to
In- seen lmt in its stead the usual variety
of intere-ting objects was in evidence
gathered up by flood. Among the lot
was the tank belonging to a coal oil car,
a small house or barn, foot boats by the
half a dozen and a big sign board be
longing to a merchant tailoring estab
lishment at "lo:{ Main Street." Who
the lucky, or in this case the unlucky
merchant was who was being so widely
advertised or in what town he is locat
ed could not be ascertained as the sign
was swept along by the current. The
water was strewn with railroad ties and
the contents of lumber yards. Frank
and George Ross, along with other ex
perienced men of the river putin a big
day Sunday. They caught a great
deal of good lumber besides a large pile
of railroad ties which came down the
river intact.
Shortly after 10 o'clock at night the
water reached the height of -.1 feet and
inches. At this point tie flood began
to enter the warehouse of the Stove
Works, in the rear of which is stored
many thousand dollar's worth of stove
plate, which would be ruined by con
tact with the water. General Manager
Foster, who with W. A. Sechler spent
the whole of Sunday at the plant, sent
out a call for employes and put as many
a> responded to work removing the
plate. In the foundry during the day
platforms were constructed and upon
them the sand used in moulding was
carefully piled that it might be out of
reach of the water which it was feared
would flood the floor before morning.

A Pleasing Entertainment.
The concluding entertainment of the
Y. M. C A. Star Course was given in
the Opera House Friday night before a
large audience. It is seldom that an en
tertainiuent of its kind proves so pleas
ing throughout. Each member of the
company is an artist and nearly every
number was honored with an encore.
Miss Sibyl Sammis, the soloist, has a
rich soprano voice, clear, musical and
flexible in quality. She rendered the
"Magic Song" with harp and piano ac
companiment in a way that brought
forth rapturous applause. Mr. George
H. Downing has a full strong baritone
voice of wide range. He has a fine stage
presence and sings with much expres
sion. Mrs. Nellie Allen-Hessenbrnch.is
a most brilliant pianist. In touch,
movement and mastery in the different
selections she has never been surpassed
by any artist visiting Danville. The
harp is always a welcome instrument
before any audience but in the hands of
such an accomplished player as Melville
Clark it acquires an additional charm.
He is a complete master of his instru
ment and was able to hold the audience
spell bound. Following is the pro
gram rendered:

PURE HONEY.
As Found on the Market—Extracted

The subject of honey making has a
certain fascination for the uninitiated,
j and in the purity of the article every
consumer is concerned. The hive, the
section and the extractor represent j
stages of its manufacture and presen- |
tatlon to the public. From recent in
formation on this topic by Messrs.
York, Miller and Dadant, well known
bee men, as it occurs in the American
Bee Journal, some points of interest
i are reproduced:
Honey is found upon the market In
two forms, liquid and In the comb. The
liquid is obtained by throwing it out of
the comb by means of centrifugal
force in a machine called a honey ex

tractor, in which the comb of honey is
revolved so rapidly that the honey flies 1
out of the comb somewhat as the mud
flies from a wagon wheel when the
I wheel revolves rapidly. When thus ob- j
tallied, it. is called extracted honey and
may be found put up In tin or glass ,
I packages. It varies in color from wa
| ter white to almost black, the color de
| pending upon the flowers from which
the honey was obtained. Nearly all
honey granulates upon the approach of
cold weather, having somewhat the ap
pearance of lard, and in this form it is
preferred by some.
It is not a hard matter to mix glucose j
with extracted honey, the mixture va- j
rying in character according to the
quality of glucose used. Respectable
grocers, however, have no difficulty in
offering you an article that they may
warrant as pure, having on the label i
the name of some reliable producer or
dealer.
Comb honey is that stored in waxen
cells, the marvelous workmanship of i
the honeybee.
Iloney in the comb may vary in col
or. It may vary in quality. All flowers !
do not yield the same honey. But it I
was all stored by the bees.
All honeycomb when tlrst made by j
the bees is white as the whitest fouud I
on the market. If it is left in the care •
of the bees, it becomes dark, and if left j
with them for several years it will be
come almost black. The white is more
beautiful to the eye, so it is taken from
the hive generally before the bees have
had time to darken it.
Alfalfa In the Orehardf
Alfalfa is not a good crop for any
kind of orchard in any part of the
eouutry. says a Rural New Yorker
writer. I have never heard any one
speak favorably of it who had tried it
in his orchard. It seems to sap the
ground of moisture and is very difficult
to kill out. Oats or rye or a mixture of
both would be far better If sown early
in the fall, so they would grow up be
fore cold weather. This crop will keep
the loose soil and snow from blowing,
although the oats will be killed by se
vere freezing. The rye will need to be
plowed under early in spring, so that
it may not grow and injure the trees
by taking up the moisture. Hogs are
good to run in an orchard, especially
if there is a crop of clover on the
ground. Peaches are not suitable to
the climate of South Dakota, and I
would not advise trying them there.
Temperature In C'nrlnK Cheene.
The results of experiments at the
New York state station show very con
clusively that low temperatures for
curing give a much better and more
uniform cheese. In 1899 four curing
rooms were used, with temperatures of
f>s, 00, o', and 70 degrees, respectively.
The rooms were arranged so that the
temperatures eouhl be kept uniform au
tomatically, while cloths kept continu
ously wet were suspended in the rooms,
so that the percentage of moisture
would remain fairly constant. Without
. exception the cheeses cured at the low
er temperatures scored highest, there
i being a difference between the average
' of the cheeses cured at GO degrees and
below and 05 degrees and above of live
' points in flavor and two and a half
points in texture. These experiments
were repeated in 1900 with practically
the same results.

Bonemeal contains phosphate of lime
and animal matter rich in nitrogen
and hence is very valuable for ma
nure where we desire a prolonged in
fluence. It is well adapted to grass
lands and lawns and is free from the
bnd odor often given off by mixed fer
tilizers. Moist meadows are benefited
by a dressing of bonemeal. If the
bones that now adorn the back yard
and pasture lot should be ground into 1
a powder and scattered on a crop worn
field, the results would surprise some
farmers.

improvement of Soil*.
Any scheme of rotation should have
the growing of at least one leguminous
crop in its plan. By this means large
gains of nitrogen may be made from
the air. Potash and phosphoric acid,
unless already in the soil, must be sup
plied by commercial fertilizers. In the
case of very poor soil it is not advisa
' Lie to remove the crops unless the ma
nure is returned until a fair state of
; fertility has been reached. Stock rais
ing, dairying and poultry raising are
j profitable lines of agriculture to carry
( on in a scheme for improving the fer
tility of poor soils.

The oldest extant poem about a drag

1,440 years ago by the Emperor Yuria«
ku of Japan. One day, while this em
peror was hunting, say, the ancient rec
ords, a gadtly came and bit his arm.
Therewith a dragon fly pounced upon
the gadfly and devoured it. Then the
. emperor commanded his ministers to
1 make an ode in praise of the dragon
fly. Rut as they hesitated how to begin
be himself composed a poem in praise
of the insect, ending with the words:
Even a creeping: insect
Waits upon the great Lord;
Thy form it will bear,
O Yamato, land of the dragon fly?
And in honor of the dragon fly the
place of 1 lie incident was called Akit
siniu, or the moor of the dragon fly.—
