TRIBUTH TO
HI POLE'S MEIMt
The house of Representatives on Sat
urday last laid aside public business
to pay tribute to the memory of the
late Representative Rufus K. Polk.
Those who delivered eulogies on the
life and character of Mr. Polk were
Messrs. Green and Bates of Pennsyl
vania, Richardson of Alabama; Bel
lamy, North Carolina; Stark, Neb
raska ; Badgett, Tennessee, and Clay
ton, Alabama. Mr. Green said in
part—"Amid the carnival which the
Grim Reaper has been holding with
the members of this body, I am called
upon to perform the most difficult and
the saddest task of my life.
With graceful words aud elegant
phrases it is easy to pay a last tribute
to colleagues respected, admired, and
esteemed; but this man was my friend,
my comrade,my roommate,and I loved
him.
Not with the flowers of rhetoric,
but with heart throbs and with tears
1 approach his grave. The rose and the
forget-me-not, with the violet and the
leaves of the sturdy oak,l would weave
in a chaplet to his memory and bind
them together with heartstrings.
Justice I cannot do him, for the feel
ings of the heart are not told by words.
While he lived I never knew how much
attached I was to him, and his death
has left a void which time alone may
fill.
When the rumor of his sudden and
unexpected death was brought to me I
felt benumbed, and the truth came as
a bolt from out of the clear blue of
sunny skies. Never will I forget the
shock. Never the lonely feeling I had
for days afterwards when I came back
to the cosy apartments where together
we lived. I never thought I could
miss one so much, and I never felt so
thoroughly alone and less inclined to
resume the work piling up before me.
What endeared this man to raeV I
can not tell. I met him hut two short
years ago when we came to the Fifty
sixth Congress. One makes few warm
friendships in middle life. This was
one, and a strong Hie
*r.iT.»9er perhaps for that reason. I
liked him from our first meeting, and
as we were drawn oftener together the
bond of union strengthened. He was
ten years my junior, and it surely was
Hot his advice nor his judgment I
sought.
But what made every man, woman,
and child who knew him love him?
He had many warm friends among
his colleagues, and when you heard
even his acquaintances refer to him it
showed that he had impressed them
with his irresistible charm.
At his funeral,when thejlong line of
brawny workmen whom lie had em
ployed filed by his coffin, pausing to
take a last look at his face motionless
in death, you could plainly read in
each man's countenance the fact that
they, too, had come under the spell
of this charm, and sincerely mourned
the loss of one whom they regarded as
a dear friend. He was a lovely fellow.
1 never met one more lovable. His
voice, soft and sweet, and its musical
accent and expression bespoke liim a
son of the "Old South." No one who
ever heard him talk will ever forget
its gentle, winning tones.
More winning than his voice were
his manners. They were never acqu
ired, but inherited from aristocratic
ancestors, polished gentlemen and
charming ladies of the old school who
ruled the South in the antebellum
days ;and this inheritance was strength
ened by education, breeding, aud re
fined surroundings.
His nature was sympathetic, and he
could not 4>ear to see man or beast
suffer, and was always ready to give
to distress soch relief as was in his
power. His generosity was proverbial,
and not only did he spend his money
with lavish hand, but I never heard
him fail to give everyone the benefit
of a doubt, and never, unless richly
deserved, have I heard him say an un
bind or uncharitable word about even
a social or business acquaintance.
So much did he crave the good opin
ion and esteem of hisassociates and so
prodigal was he with his favors to
them that I sometimes thought him
vain and seeking admiration.
To an exceptional degree he possess
ed the charming spirit of camaraderie,
and that made him popular at home
and abroad.
His faults were but skin deep, and
never reached his heart or scarred his
soul.
With all these traits his character
and personality were strong,not weak,
and no one could ever say "no" more
firmly or was more tenacious to his own
carefully formed opinions. Often,
when a man or a question was being
discussed with general agreement, to
the surprise of all would he announce
a different opinion and give convinc
ing views in its support. Yet his man
ner of announcing such a difference,
although firm, never seemed to offend.
I envied his tact on such occasions.
But more than all thes«- he was man
ly and just and strictly honest in hotli
word and thought and deed. In our
close association I never heard him
utter a word from which one could
form a suspicion that he sought to in
jure or obtain an unjust advantage of
anyone with whom he dealt, and he
exacted the same business integrity
from others in their dealings. He de
spised a dishonest man and left him
severely alone.
He had a vein of stubbornness run
ning through him, and at times it
rook a rough bit and a strong hand to
control him when his teeth were set.
These tits happened but seldom. As a
rule lie was gentle, full of warm,
generous impulses, kind-hearted sym
pathetic, courteous, and tolerant even
of the prejudices of others. Much of
his life and his ambitions I learned
from his own lips as we sat after din
ner in the evening twilight and ex
changed mutual confidences before we
took up the never-ending tasks of Con
gressional life.
He would light a cigar and stretch
out on an easy chair and talk of his
wife and his babies, of his parents,
and his illustrious uncle Leonidas, tho
lighting bishop. This was the history
of his life as 1 gleaned it chiefly from
these talks.
In the spring of 1808, when the
United States declared war with Spain
POLK, with his associates in the Na
tional Guard, left his wife, family,
and large, growing business interests
and was mustered in as first lieuten
ant of Company F, Twelfth Regiment
of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and serv
ed until his muster out and honorable
discharge after peace was established.
Almost immediately after his return
home from this service he was nominat
ed and elected as a Democrat to repre
sent the Seventeenth district of Penn
sylvania, composed of the counties of
Columbia, Montour, Northumberland
and Sullivan, in the Fifty-sixth Con
gress, and although that district was
then represented by a Republican, his
majority was nearly 2,000. This was
his first appearance in the political
arena. Two years afterwards he was
I reelected to the Fifty-seventh Con
gress with an increased majority of
nearly 1,500, so popular had he be
come, and would have been renominat
ed and elected to the Fifty-eighth Con
gress had he lived and not positively
refused to run again on account of tin
exactions of his large and onerous busi
ness interests.
One evening he told me the reasons
why he enlisted in the Spanish war
and went to the front in spite of the
fact that he left a wife and family of
young children and large business in
terests which required his care and at
tention behind —a sacrifice which no
man under such circumstances could
reasonably have been called upon to
make. The story was, as near as I
can remember it. as follows :
"You sec, GREEN, all my people j
in the civil war were what you Yan
kees called rebels. Every mother's
son of them fought from start to finish
the battles of the Confederacy, and
were loyal sons of the South, where
they lived when the outbreak occurr
ed. They were generals and colonels
and majors in that war. We were of
fighting stock from Revolutionary
times down, and until that time had
always been loyal to the Stars and
Stripes, and its patriotic supporters
when the Republic was formed. My
greatgrandfather, Thomas Polk, of
Mecklenburg County, N. C., was one
of the organizers of the Mecklenburg
I - uiie 01 the signers ox
the Mecklenburg declaration of inde
pendence. My grandfather was Col.
William Polk.
"This medal which I wear is the
badge of the Order of Cincinnati,
founded by the officers of the Ameri
can Revolutionary Army in 1773. No
man can become a member of the order
who is not a male descendant of an
original member, and inherits it un
der the law of primogeniture. I prov
ed my right before 1 was admitted.
Well, after the rebellion my brothers
and I entered into a solemn
that should there ever be a war in
which the United States was interest
ed we would all enlist.
"So when war was declared with
Spain my brothers and myself anil
many young cousins were mustered in
to the United States service and show
ed that we were loyal to our country
and ever ready to sacrifice our lives in
the defense of its honor and its flag.
Our pledge has been so far kept, and
we stand always ready to redeem it
while life and strength shall last."
This little incident ennobled this
man in my eyes, and I knew him well
enough to be able to vouch for every
word he had told me.
Is it any wonder that the people
of his district, Northern men and loyal
men though they were, nevertheless
were ready to intrust him with their
interests in the great Legislature of
this nation, with a firm conviction
that their interests and the Republic's
interests were intrusted to a loyal and
patriotic man.
But a few short weeks ago the slend
er figure and manly presence of the
young statesman of the Seventeenth
district of Pennsylvania was in our
midst. His sunny smile and cheerful
greeting met us on every side. He
left us in the strength of manhood's
prime never to return.
As 1 sit, in the silence of the mid
night hour, in his favorite chair and
my thoughts wander and dwell upon
him these oftrepeated lines of the
Rubaiyat haunt my memory:
'Tis but a tent where takes his one
day's rest
A sultan and the realm of death a<l
drest;
The sultan rises and the dark Fer
raish
Strikes and prepares it for another
guest.
With vacation only three weeks off
the small boy is happy.

"At the end of the campaign,'' writes
Champ Clark, Missouri's brilliant con
gressman, "from overwork, nervous
tension,loss of sleep and constant speak
ing I had about utterly collapsed. It
seemed that all the organs in my body
were out of order, but three bottles of
Electric Bitters made me all right It's

over a druggist's counter."' Over work

the special left Shamokinat 1! o'clock
last night, reaching Danville shortly
after midnight.
The Graud Castle opened in the
Opera House yesterday morning, the
address of welcome being made l»3'
Chief Burgess Thomas. The visitors
were welcomed by (5. H. Hutli, Esq.,
in behalf of the lv. G. E. of Shamokin.
Retiring Grand Chief James M.
Hutchinson made the response. The
parade was quite an imposing affair.
According to information received
last evening prizes were awarded as
follows:
For the best drilled Connnandery,
$75 —to Allentown.
For the second best drilled Coin
mandery, $50 —Lancaster.
For Comniandery coming the great

company having the largest number of
men in line was divided between the
Liberty and the West End Companies
of Shamokin.
The town was thronged with people
and presented a gala appearance.
Will Built! a New Church.
The Lutheran congregation a' Wash
ingtonville, Rev. < )weu Rebel*, pastor,
has decided to build a new church. A
meeting of the congregation, with
some one hundred present, was held
yesterday to consider the question of
a site. Of the votes cast, 40 were for
the old site, Front street, Washington
ville, and 42 for a new location on
Church street, the same borough, op
posite the Presbyterian church.
Some $:i(X)0 were raised yesterday
by subscription for the new church,
in addition to which there is S3OOO in
the church treasury,which will be de
voted to the new structure.
There is nothing definite as yet de
cided upon either as to the dimensions
of the new church or the material of
which it will be built. The architect,
William C. Lowe,of Philadelphia,was
in Washingtonville yesterday. The
Building Committee of the congrega
tion is composed ol George Cotner,
Nicely Oyster and Wallace Wagner.
Ghosts would frighten many people
who are afraid of germs. Vet the germ
is a real danger. If this microscopic
animalism conld be magnified to a size
in proportion to its deadliness it would
show like a giant phthon or tire breath
ing dragon. The one fact to remember
is that the germ is powerless to harm
the body when the blood is pure. It is
far easier to keep the germ out than to
drive it out after it has obtained a hold
in the system. Dr. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery is the most powerful and
perfect of blood purifying medicines. It
increases the quantity as well as the
quality of the blood and enable the body
to resist disease, or to throw it off if
disease has obtained a footing in some
weak organ. Whenever the digestion
is impared, the dutrition of the body is
diminished, for the blood is made from
the food which is eaten, and half digest
ed food cannot supply the body with
blood in (inautilv
to its needs. For this condition there
is no remedy equal to "Goldou Medicial
Discovery." It cures ninety-eight out
every hundred persons who gile it a
fair trial. When there is constipation
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets will promp
tly relieve and permanently cure.
Tickets Selling Very Rapidly .
The tickets for "Queen Esther,"
which were put on sale a few days ago
are selling more rapidly than for any
home talent production given in years.
People feel that in purchasing an ad
mission ticket they are not alone help
ing a good cause but that they will be
sure to receive the worth of their
money. It is a rare opportunity, indeed,
to hear all the good voices of the town
in unison as will be the case in
"Queen Esther." The ensemble as
heard at the rehearsals is a treat worth
going a good way to hear.
Within the last few days the chorus
has been augmented by thirty-two
voices—sixteen little boys aud sixteen
little girls ranging in age from ten to
fourteen years, who will come on to
ward t lie latter part of the perform
ance. This addition to the chorus
brings the whole number taking part
in the production up to about one
hundred.
If would be well to have seats re
served as early as possible, as it will
not be long after the board is out be
fore the choicest seats will ,be taken.

A CASE OF IT.
Many More Like it in Danville.
The following case is but one of many
similar occurring daily in Danville. It
is an easy matter to verify its correct
ness. Surely you cannot ask for better
proof than such conclusive evidence.
Mr. David I). Jones of 401 Church
street, says Dunn's Kidney Pills cured
me of an enervating backache and lame
ness across my kidneys. I might say I
had aching stitches just over my hips,
and later on I had a great deal of pain
through the top of my head. Doan's
Kidney Pills invigorated the kidneys
and though I did not use them a great
while, they cured me, and I have had
no return of the trouble since. As a
remedy for kidney afflictions they were
so satisfactory in my case that 1 am
glad to endorse the claims made for
them at all times

POPULATION
SHOULD INCREASE
The population of Montour county
should be on the increase, if the ex
cess of births over deaths has any
thing to do with it, a fact attested hy
local statistics for the past year.
The records show two hundred and
sixty births in the county and one
hundred and fifty-five deaths. It is a
coincidence that just one-halt' of the
births, oue hundred and thirty,occurr
ed in the borough of Danville. The
records for the borough show : First
Ward—births, 27; deaths, 20; Second
Ward —births, 28; deaths, 1!>; Third
Ward—births, 45 ; deaths, 14. Fourth
Ward—hiiths, 30; deaths, 21. The
natural gain of population in the bor
ough is tift3'-six.
In the county outside of Danville
there were forty-nine more births than
deaths, the records of each of the sev
eral townships showing the following:
West Hemlock—births, 5 ; deaths, ('»;
Cooper—births, 5 ; deaths, 11 ; May
berry--births.'i: deaths,2: Mahoning—
births, 35; deaths, 17; Derry—births,
14; deaths, 11 ; Limestone —births, H;
deaths,; Anthony—births, 18; deaths,
11 ; Valley—births, 21; deaths, :i ; Lib

In Washiugtonville one birth and
two deaths were returned.
Home Burned to the Ground.
Clarence iiishel of near Strawberry
Ridge, is the victim of double misfor
tune by storm and fire which has not
only left him homeless, but has rob
bed him of everything but the bare
acres of his farm.
During last winter his barn collapsed
under the deep snow and was a total
loss. It had to be torn down and Mt.
Rishel is just now beginning the erec
tion of a new barn on the site of the
old.
Early Friday morning |Mr. Risli
el's house took lire from a defective I
flue. Before it was discovered the en
tire roof was on tire. The high wind
fanned the flames into a fury, which
soon enveloped the entire structure
burning it to the ground. Although
assisted by neighbors the family was
able to save but a few articles, con
tained in the lower rooms and the cel
lar. All their clothing was lost.
The house was a tint* frame structure
nearly new. Mr. Rishel's loss is at
least S2,(XX). He had only s>soo insur
ance. The farm is now without any
buildings, and the unfortunate farmer
and his family last night were obliged
to seek shelter with the neighbors.
Mr. Rishel formerly resided on
Boom street, Mahoning township.
A Universally Attractive Parade I
Many men, affairs and men could
not be judged by outward appearances,
but Mr. B. E. Wallace,the sole owner
of the Great Wallace Show, is willing
to allow the appearance of the parade
of the Wallace Show to be the index
of the merit of his big central attrac
tion. His confidence is based on the
self-assurance of what the equipment
of his aggregation cost and what that
of imitating concerns cost their own
ers.
There are a thousand instances of
apparent reckless and extravagant out
lay of money connected with its street
display of the Wallace Show. Close

Civil Service Examination.
A Civil Service Examination will
be held by the local board on Wed
nesday morning, May 28th. The ex
amination this time will carry with
it a new feature in as much as the
successful applicant will be eligible
to the position of either clerk or car
rier. Heretofore an examination for
each position was held. With the
many rural routes terminating in this
city and the prosperous outlook for
Danville it is quite possible that more
help in both departments may be
needed.
Intelligence Office Opened.
Rev. H. W. Gregory, pastor of the
colored Methodist Episcopal churches
of this city, Milton and Muncv, has
established an intelligence bureau at
the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Boley,
No. 201 East Mahoning street. The
object is to supply the demand for
kitchen help in this city.
Since the establishment of the sev
eral industries in Danville employing
female help domestics have in many
instances been hard to obtain. To fill
the want colored girls will be brought
up from the South. By calling at Mrs.
Boley's information may be obtained
respecting help to be hired.

MERCHANTS
SWINDLED
A bold forger, who had laid his plans
well, on Saturday night last succeed
ed in swindling our merchants out of
considerable sums of money.
During the evening the man, who
readily, passed as a respectable country
man, appeared in the general store of
D. R. Eckinan and made some pur
chases. Before giving his order he ex
plained to the proprietor that he was
short of ready cash. His name, he
said, was George Mosier, and lie was
an employe of Andrew Steinman,
County Treasurer. In lieu of ready
cash the man carried Mr. Steinman s
check for sixteen dollars payable at
the First National bank of this city,
which he desired the merchant to ac
cept in payment for the goods.
Business men are generally chary yf
checks presented by strangers and Mr.
Eckman hesitated. The fellow, how
ever, seemed plausible and showed a
very intimate acquaintance with the
farming community in general and
the Mosers in particular. He finally
disarmed all suspicion by talking in a
very familiar way over Mr. Eckman's
hunting trip last fall in which the
merchant and County Treasurer Stein
man were companions.
Mr. Eckman agreed to accept the
check. The fellow bought goods to
the amount of four dollars. He placed
his signature on the back of the check
in a heavy laborious hand writing
characteristic of the working man not
much accustomed to handling the pen.
Mr. Eckman deducted the amount of
the purchase and handed the balance,
twelve dollars, over to the stranger.
The latter left the store stating that
he would drive around in a short time
and remove the goods.
The closing hour arrived and the
goods still remained in the store, a
circumstance not at all reassuring to
the merchant. Monday morning Mr.
Eckman took the check to the bauk
where it was unhesitatingly pronounc
ed a forgery. The bankers recognized
the signature. "George Mosier," as
that of a man who had been refused
money at the bank during last week.
On that occasion he presented the
check of a Wilkesbarre party.
Mr. Eckman says the man was of
medium height, with a black mous
tache and dark complexion. He wore
| a sack coat and his clothes although
I clean were by no means neat or well
fitting. On the whole the forger was
made up to impersonate a hard work
ing guileless countryman.
During yesterday it was discovered
that at least one other merchant was
swindled by the alleged "George
Mosier" Saturday night. The merch
ant, however, who is some £l4 out of
pocket, is very much averse to public
ity and his name is withheld.
