to the rules of the Republican party.
Your support is earnestly solicited.
,T. C. MILLER.
The following from an article on
"Beautifying of Village and Town." ap
pearing in the current number of the
Century magazine, applies with partic
ular force to Danville.
First in order in activities of this kind
comes cleanliness. Clean streets and
public places, clean private premises
with these secured, the first great trans
formation in the community takes place.
When nuisance breeding rubbish-heaps
are cleared away, and vacant lots cover
ed with all sorts ofjlitter are cleaned up.
everybody notes the improvement and is
interested in seeing it maintained.
Orderliness, ofacotirse goes hand in
hand with cleanliness. The latter can
not be secured'withont good order.
And with good order there is an aspect
of neatness that commands popular re
spect It pleases the public eye. Nearly
everybody will desist from throwing
rubbish into a well-kept place.
Public sentiment is easily cultivated
in favor of public cleanliness and order.
A notable instance of its growth is to be
found in the agitation against spitting
in public places, since it was determined
that the practice was a danger to public
health.
The posting of notices with regula
tions against it, and the frequent discus
sion of the subject in the press, have
made a strong impression upon public
sentiment, and in consequence the of
fense is not practiced to anything like
the same extent in communities where
there has been such agitation.
Farmer Dies of Asphyxiation.
Nicholas Euglehart.a farmer residing
near Catawissa, was suffocated by coal
gas Saturday night,and his wife is yet
very ill from the effects of the nauseat
ing stuff. The Bloomsburg Morning
Press says:
"Forgetting to properly regulate
their stove, Saturday night. Nicholas
Englehart, a prominent resident of
Locust township, near Newlin, lost
bis life and his wife is in a critical
condition. After placing coal on the
fire, they retired to the next room,
letting the door connecting the two
rooms, open. Their son-in-law. Mr.
Workheiser and wife, retired .to the
room above. They were awakened in
the morning by the fumes of gas, which
became the more sickening as they
reached the first floor. Blindly mak
iug his way into the room of the old
couple, Mr. Workheiser found them
unconscious. Then throwing open the
windows, he made every effort to re
suscitate them, and failing in this, be
summoned medical aid. All day long
physicians over the couple.
Mr. Euglhart's condition was such,
however, that he could not survive
the shock, and on Sunday afternoon
be died.
"Mrs. Englehart hovers between life
and death, and grave fears of her re
covery are entertained.''
A Blessing in Disguise.
The backwardness of spring has given
rise to much grumbling. Frosty morn
inns and eool evenings have prevented
the donning of lighter attire,and good,
hot fires are necessary for comfort in
the homes and places of business. The
ninth day of April finds the buds in
the trees and bushes just beginning to
swell. The new and tender grass is
practically the only evidence that this
is the venial season of the year.
Instead of grumbling because of the
backwardness of spring there should be
rejoicing, for it is a blessing in dis
guise. Every day of cold weather now
is a jioiut in favor of the fruit crops.
The low temperature has retarded the
development of the buds that later
burst into bloom and fragrance and
furnish humanity with cherries,plums,
peaches, apples and pears and in a
short time the danger of killing frosts
will have been minimized. Reports
from the fruit growing districts in
dicate fine crops this year, and this
cheering prospect is mainly due to the
protection afforded by the continu
ance of cool weather. The experience
in the recent years when there was an
abnormal early spring, followed by
frosts that played havoc with the orch
ards, should not be forgotten. Don't
grumble but take the weather as it
comes.

Arrested for Stealing Coal.
Harry Kinn and John Koch of this
city, hoys about sixteen years of age,
were arrested Friday by P. & R.
Detective William A. Pursley while
in the act of pilfering coal from the
cars just above the P. &. R. station.
They were arraigned before Justice
Bare, where they admitted their guilt.
The boys, it appears, have a loafing
shanty somewhere in the locality and
it was for the purpose of warming the
loafing place that the boys stole the
coal. The justice held them for court
in SIOO hail each.
PASTOR WELCOMED
If Rev. N. K. Cleaver, who was re
turned by Conference to be pus tor of
Trinity M. E. churcti. had any doubt
us to the weleome he might receive it
was dispelled by the delightful recep
lion tendered liiin Monday night by the
congregation in the lecture room ol
the church.
The room wus made beautiful with
flowers and bunting tastefully arrang
ed, while above tin* altar on a back
ground of delicate color iu large let
ters was the word "Welcome." A
program varied and full of interest
was arranged for the occasion. The
young people of the church, justly
noted for their fine talents, in render
ing the different numbers seemed to
outvie each other in their efforts to
please.
The siuging, which was full of feel
ing and well rendered, was quite an
enjoyable feature. Miss Mary Jenkins
rendered a piano solo ;t liere was a song
by Miss Edna Hughes, and a selection
on the piano by Miss Canuard. The
recitations, by Miss Mamie Keim.Miss
Hannah Evans, Miss Edna Hughes
and Miss Jennie Lovett.have doubtless
never been surpassed oil any similar
occasion, Miss Lovett's recitation
especially, was a most charming ef
fort and was roundly applauded.
An address was delivered by David
Gibson. George Lunger spoke on be
half of the Epworth League and Miss
Letitia Lunger 011 behalf of tin- Junior
Epworth League.
Rev. Cleaver 111 his response made
several happy hits. The congregation
could congratulate themselves,he said,
011 the fact that they had a pastor who
had not been tried at Conference,
which was more than a few others
could say. He paid a high compliment
to the people of Trinity M. E. church,
quoting a gentleman of this city,
whose word carries with it a good deal
of weight to the effect that the young
people of the congregation are educat
ed and diligent in doing good beyond
what is common among the churches.
He was glad to be returned, he said,
and was deeply touched by the cordi
ality of the welcome extended. He
dwelt upon the church's advancement
during the past year and said that
much of what had been achieved was
due to the hearty support and co-op
eration received from the congrega
tion.
At the conclusion of the pastor's ad
dress refreshments were served.
The girl is the mother of the woman
just as "the boy is the father of the
man." The period when the womanly
functions begins is one to be carefully
watched and considered. Irregularity
or derangement at this time may be
promptly met and cured by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. But
neglected at this critical period may en
tail years of future suffering. "Favor
ite Prescription'' acts directly upon the
womanly organs giving them perfect
vigor Jand abundant vitality. It re
moves the obstructions to health and
happiness, and delivers womanhood
from the cruel bondage of "female
weakness."

A Bright Young Life Ended.
One of the saddest deaths that has
occurred in this place was that of Jesse
C. Long, special delivery messenger
at the Sunbury post office. He was
the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
K. Long, of South Fourth street. 11
had been ill since Saturday, March
with inflammation of the bowels which
developed into peritonitis after which
his decline was rapid.
Sunday morning April titli at half
past three the end came. All through
his sickness, which was accompani
ed with intense pain, be was patient
and never lost that gentle disposition
for which be was so well known. His
extreme politeness and concern for
the feelings of his friends never desert
ed him, notwithstanding he was mak
ing a heroic tight against the inevit
able death that was fast approaching.
His age was 15 years, 7 months and l>
days. He was a student in Mr. S. O.
Reed's grammar school and between
school hours he faithfully served as
messenger at the post office, which
position he filled to the greatest satis
faction of bis employers as well as to
the public.
The funeral took place on Tuesday
afternoon, Rev. Dr. J. H. Weber offici
ating. Interment was made in Pom
fret Manor cemetery. —Sunbury Item.

For Coughs and Colds in Children.
"I have not the slightest hesitancy in
recommending Chamberlains Cough
Remedy to all who are suffering from
coughs or colds, says ('has. M. Cramer.
Esq.. a well known watch maker, of
Colombo, Ceylon. "It has been some
two years since the City Dispensary first
called my attention to this valuable
medicine and I have repeatedly used it
and it has always been beneficial. It
has cured me quickly of all chest cold, j
it is especially effective for children and
seldom takes more than one bottle to
cure them of hoarseness. I have per
suaded many to try this valuable med
icine, and they are ajl as well pleased as
myself over the results." For sale by,

Brakemen Must Yell Three Times.
The passenger brakemen employed
oil the P. it K. railroad have received
orders to call out the name of a sta
tion three times in each coach so that
passengers will have no complaint to
make about not bearing the name of
the station called. Frequently pass, ng '
ers are carried past their destination
because they allege the brakeman did j
not call out the This order
will no doubt stop the complaints and
also develop the vocal chords ot the
brakemen.

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
in The kidneys are your j

impurities in the blood.
V\Vlf they are sick or out j
L & Z- cf order, they fail to do 1
Yr'-r * their work.
Ti I Pains, achesandr'neu- 1
/ matism come from ex- j
cess of uric acid in the
~ no blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady !
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart °is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arter.- :.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, (
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin- .
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest fcr its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits f'
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz-DjMfjiiE
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of Swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

THE FASHIONS.
The Amazon hat, turned up on both
sides, will, it is said, he a favorite for
spring wear.
The new black square meshed lace is ;
much in vogue for entire gowns, being
as durable as it is modish.
Silver tissue is being much used as a 1
background for the delicate laces and
exquisite silk embroideries of the sea
son.
Reception gowns have very long
trains and arc made of crepe de chine,
watered silk, brocade, silk and chiffon,
liberty satin, lansdowne, etc.
Toques and small hats are in many |
instances covered with flowers and
small leaves, symmetrically arranged.
When especially small blossoms are 1
used they are bunched into pompons.
Gray green is one of the favorite col
ors of the moment, and several velvet
and panne dresses are being made of it,
with accompanying trimmings of lace
and chiffon of the same hue.
Many of the newest skirts of thin
materials are tucked from hem to j
waist, the tucks broad at the base and i
very narrow indeed at the top, a lace'
or chiffon frill below. Bodices and
sleeves are tucked in the same way,
and the bodice has a cape of lace about
the shoulders, braces of lace and elbow
sleeves.
