The State Convention met Wednesday
of last week at Harrisburg as called and
after a very interesting and exciting
session, nominated Judge Samuel W.
Pennypacker for Governor by a major
ity of delegates, over Hon. John P.
Elkiu, at present Attorney General
under Governor Stone.
The end brought about was not an
arbitrary one, but in consonance with
the opinion and belief of the largest
portion of the party. Elkin made a
good fight and stayed into the end.
He made a vigorous and personal cam
paign, but he has announced like a
good Republican his loyal support of
the ticket made and the animus arous
ed in him and his friends all of whom
were prominent regulars, will soon
disappear in the general good of the
party and desire for its most complete
success.
Of Judge Pennypacker we have al
ready spoken in the highest terms. It
is the best nomination possible and
the remainder of the ticket, Lieuten
ant-Governor and Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs, is excellent.
It will demand all shades of Repub
lican support and be elected by 260,000
majority.
All that now remains is for every
Republican to see to it, from this on
to November, that earnest, intelligent
and enthusiastic effort is given to call
out every voter in support of the tick
et now made and endorsed by a united
and harmonious party.
The platform is the best made in
many years. Succinct, cogent and in
telligent, it upholds and sets forth all
the grand principles and work of the
Republican party,commends President
Roosevelt in the highest terms, and
names him as our standard-bearer for
1«04.
Beyond the questions of right' and
might envolved in the controversy be
tween the anthracite coal operators
and the striking miners is the supreme
duty resting upon all parties concern
ed to obey the laws of the land. The
evils complained of by the miners for
the remedying of which they have in
augurated the greatest strike of recent
years will not excuse violations of law
011 the part of the strikers, 110 matter
how well grounded they may be. On
the other hand,the attempted coercion
on the part of the operators so bitter
ly condemned by the miners will fur
nish no excuse for setting aside the
law in order to establish their power
aud force the workmen back to the
mines. The duty of obeying the law
is not any more incumbent upon the
miner than UJJOU the operator. Be
cause the miner is exposed to the temp
tation of resisting force with force,
aud is therefore more apt to be led in
to overt acts of violence does uot mean
that he is the only lawbreaker upon
whom close surveillance should be
kept. The law that is intended to
restrain him is also intended to operate
against the exercise of unfair or sinist
er forces against him.
The country at large looks to the
chief leaders on both sides of the un
fortunate contention for the preserva
tion of the law. Both the strike lead- j
ers and the operators are regarded im- '
partially by a majority of the Ameri
can public,and the law that it expects
shall be enforced against disorders
among the miners is the same law that
it hopes to see putin the way of uu
just advantage on the part of the op
erators. There are not two kinds of
law in this country, one for the poor j
and one for the rich, aud this truth
should be rigidly impressed in the I
coal regions just now.
Object to the Publicity.
The Mt. Carmel newspapers are full !
of denunciatory articles concerning
the press of the coal regions. The}- j
claim that the smallpox situation at j
Mt. Carmel has been misrepresented
to the great injury of the town. Thus \
far 27 deaths have been reported to
the board of health. There are still
26 cases in the place.which is certain
ly an alarming condition of affairs. I
HURLED MANY FEET
BY FREIGHT TRAIN
Joseph Baird has just returned to
Danville after passing through au ex
perience so thrilling that he was at
one time reported dead and his rela
tives at Altoona wired instructions to
have his body held until their arrival
at the place of his supposed demise.
He was run down by a Pennsylvania
fast freight, on the Trenton cut-off,
and for days laid unconscious in a
hospital at Norristown.
Baird left this city 111 April togo
to Philadelphia. He got off a train at
White Marsh Junction, north of Nor
ristown, on the evening of April I*s.
While walking down the tracks lie was
hit by the freight train, which was
bound from New York to Hani,-lung
and was running at a high rate of
speed. He was thrown thirty feet in
the air, falling a hundred feet down
an embankment. His left arm was
broken in two places, the left side
paralyzed and the leg and foot injur
ed. He also was seriously hurt about
the spinal column and kidneys. It
was not until three o'clock tin- next
morning, seven hours after the accid
ent occurred that he was found. Then
he was hurried to the hospital.
After an examination the surgeons
gave little hope for his recovery. For
seventy-two hours he was unconscious
and his life seemed ebbing away.
Word was telegraphed to this city and
Altoona that he was dying. The Al
toona relatives misunderstood their
message and wired to Norristown to
hold the body until a member of the
family arrived. Information later
reached here that he had succumbed
to his injuries.
zVfter recovering consciousness Baird
was kept four days in the dark room.
Despite the rumors of his death and
the predictions of the doctors lie slow
ly grew better and was discharged
from the hospital on May 23. From
Norristown lie went to Fort Washing
ton, where he remained until his re
turn to Danville. He resided here
for thirteen years and has many
friends who are glad to know of his
safe return,after passing through such
peril. He has secured a position at
the Reading Iron Works. He has al
most entirely recovered from the ( fl
eets of his terrible injuries, although
his back and kidneys still cause him
some trouble.

when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says.
"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, 'I feel as
though born anew, and before using the
entire contents of the bottle the unbear
able pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take np her household
duties. He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of

in producing these cards were not sat

to make a new plate showing the pro
file view. The latter is by far the
truest likeness of Mr. McKinley, who
had a finer and far more intellectual
face than the front view generally
given him gave; and yet President
McKinley himself preferred tin' round
full-faced picture.

COAL PASSER
AND LANDSMAN
The U. S. N. recruiting station in
this city closed yesterday afternoon,
the recruiting party leaving 011 th"
4 1 p. 111. train for Williamsport.
During the afternoon the oath was
administered to Samuel Uinstead anil
Stanley Orvis Simpson, the only two
of the thirteen young men applying
here that passed the rigid examina
tion.
Simpson, who hails from Berwick,
enlisted as a coal passer. He will re
port at the Navy Yard, Philadelphia,
where after a short training he will
be sent on a cruise, probably 011 a bat
tle ship.
Samuel Uinstead hails from Wasli
ingtonville. As a landsman he will
goto Norfolk, Ya..for training,where
after a month or six weeks he will be
sent 011 a cruise to the West Indies or
to Europe; where he will get his first
taste of foreign travel.
The standard set by the navy is high
uot only as relates to the physical but
also as to moral and mental qualifica
tions. Not only must every minor
have the consent of his parents hut it
is useless for anyone to apply who can
not procure recommendations as to his
sound mental qualities and good moral
character.
Logically those who enlist would
seem to be in pretty good company. Be
sides the very purpose of the enlist
ment here is to obtain young Ameri
cans to fill the petty officers' ratings.
So that although those who enlist can
not hope to escape a certain amount
of drudgery incidental to a career at
sea, yet from the very beginning they
have something better to look forward
to.
The term of enlistment covers four
years and for every re-enlistment there
is an increase of pay. After every en
listment there is a four months leave
with full pay.
For biliousness use Chamberlain's
Stomach & Liver Tables. They cleanse
the stomach and regulate the liver and
bowels,effecting a quick and permanent
cure. For sale by Paules cVr Co. No.
352 Mill street.
New Things in Fire Works.
The assurance of a big celebration
in Danville 011 July Fourth will make
the sale of tire works unusually large.
There are many new ideas in pyrotech
nics that will add to the glory of the
I coming celebration and joy of the
young people, who always want plenty
of noise and color for their coin.
"Devil among the tailors'' is the
name for one of these newest things.
Said "devil", when lighted,commences
an illumination in colors, sends out a
rich stream of brilliant tire, then a
fountain of electric stars and termin
ates in a hurst of serpents thrown to
a height of fifty feet and explodes
with loud reports.
Girandole fountains send groups of
fire-opals a hundred feet high. These
fall in crimson clouds through trans
lucent mists, mingled with sprays of
fuchsia blossoms.
Prismatic fountains are profusely
charged with star ravs of prismatic re
flection attaining most gorgeous clouds
of gold.Floral shells and garnitures in
blue and gold,crimson and green,ruby
and emerald are wonders. There are
meteoric showers, golden rains, silver
star mists, Japanese willow trees,
chain lights, serpents, dragons and
other devices that are in the market
for the first time.
Virulent Cancer Cure.
Startling proof of a wonderful ad
vance in medicine is given by druggist
G. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Ya.
An ohl man there had long suffered with
what good docters pronounced incurable
cancer. They believed his case hopeless
till he used Electric Bitters and applied
Bucklen's Arnica Salve, which treat
ment completely cured him. Wheu
Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious,
kidney and microbe poisons at the same
time this salve exerts its matchless heal
ing power,blood diseases,skin eruptions,
ulcers, and sores vanish. Bitters 50c.
Salve 25c at Paules A" Co. No. 852 Mill
street.
Fell Down Mine Shaft.
Richard Pooley, of Buckhorn, fell
down a mine shaft at the Almedia col
liery yesterday afternoon and was so
badly injured that he died last even
ing. In company with a young man
named Walter Jones he entered a large
hoisting bucket togo down the ohl
shaft, when the bucket suddenly shot
downward at a rapid rate. Jones
caught hold of a ladder and pulled
himself out. Pooley was toppled out
of the bucket, falling eighty feet to
the shaft bottom.
He was gotten to the surface as
quickly as possible. Both thighs were
broken and he was hurt internally.
The end came at eight o'clock last
evening. Pooley was aged thirty-five
years and leaves a wife and two chil
dren.
Of what does a had taste in your month
remind you? It indicates that your
stomach is in bad condition and will
remind yon that there is nothing so good
for such a disorder as Chamberlain's
Stomach & Liver Tablets after having
once used them. They cleanse and in
vigorate the stomach and regulate the
bowels. For sale at 25 cents per box by
Paules & Co. No. 852 Mill street.
Handsome New Veranda.
Lewis Kessler of Vine street, is
having a handsome veranda built in 1
front of his residence. It was con
structed by Hoover Brothers, of South
Danville, and when completed will be
one of the finest in the city. Mr.
Kessler will enjoy the summer breezes
from within its cool recesses.

COAL METROPOLIS
WILL BR MERE
Manager McCoy has arranged a date
with the Shamokin Base Ball Club for
Saturday afternoon. The coal metro
polis team is a strong one, composed
of noted players, and think that their
standard is better than that of the
"Old .Timers." By the same token
the Danville daisies are of the opinion
that Shamokin can be beaten,although
they realize that the game will be a
close one. All this means that the
patrons will see a struggle of gladiat
ors worth going miles to see. Sha
mokin is coining to win but the "Old
Timers" will have something to do
that may make tije visitors conclude
that there are others who know when
a hall is round.
Those Louisville bats, says Captain
"Rusty" Ross, are wonders and when
they hit a Shamokin ball the coal re
gion gang will think the strike is
busted. Maley will pitch for Dauville
and will do his best. He will also
be in the box on the afternoon of July
Fourth. "That Maley,"says Captain
"Rusty" Ross,will put them overtlie
plate so fast that tin; miners will think
specials are after 'em.
Next Wednesday afternoon the "Old
Timers" will play at Williainsport.
"When we hit Williamsport," says
Captain "Rusty" Ross, "those Bi 11-
Towners will think the North Branch
has backed up from Sunbury, so swift
will we rush 'em. And don't you
think we won't, because we will. "
The Seasou for Invitations.
This is the season for invitations.
Nearly everybody either has received
or expects those dainty forms of sta
| tiouery which set forth that their pre
! seuce is requested at the marriage of
j near and dear friends. Danville has
1 joined the fashion in a way and has
; issued its invitation. The occasion be
' ing big the requests are bigger than
those of the ordinary events, however
; important they may be to those inter-
I ested.
Danville's invitation is to the world
,at large, to the people in general.
I This city, through its citizens' com-
I mittee, respectfully and cordially re
quests everybody to come to the city
! of Danville, County of Montour and
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania 011
the Fourth day of July, A. I)., nine
teen hundred and two, to join in the
celebration of the Independence Day
of the United States. There will be
a fine parade with many other events
to make the occasion pleasant. There
, is 110 R. S. V. P. attached to this in
vitation, but all are urged to got. 011 a
train, and all trains 011 the Fourth
will come to Dauville. There will be
' a hot time in this town and the more
l that come the merrier it will be.
These invitations are informal, but
are intended to impress all that read
or In ar ot the celebration to consider
112 themselves as being especially includ
ed. They are in poster form and ex
plain fully what the time will be, as
; follows:
"Grand Celebration, July 4th., Dan
ville, Pa. G. A. K., Military, Fire
men, Civic and Industrial Parade.
Parade will move at 1:!!() p. 111. The
attractions for the afternoon and even
ing will consist of ball game,dancing,
, band concerts and grand display of
fireworks. Excursion rates 011 all

fireworks. Ralph Kisner, Esq., Presi

Perry Martin and William Nixon of
I the Ilazleton Couch and Mattress com
! pauy who did business in this city
about the last of May, were arrested
in Williamsport yesterday morning
charged with peddling without a lic
ense. Nixon, who was found to be
only an employe was discharged, but
Martin was fined $25 anil costs.
The men have the goods shipped
after them and sell direct from the
wagon. In this city they succeeded in
selling forty mattresses before they
were discovered. They discontinued
selling when informed that they were
violating the borough ordinance by
selling without a license. They took
legal advice, however, and threatened
to contest the matter with the bor
ough. They left, however, without
putting up any fight. Their experi
ence at Williamsport must serve to
convince them that our borough is not
unique in its provision against ped
dling without a license.

BIG MONEY PAID
FOR BIG MATS
If you are a man and if you want
to be ultra fashiouble this summer
why you must have a Panama hat.
Some ol these hats never saw Pana
111 a, hut the most of them are genuine
and they cost a lot of money. The real
article comes at from #lO to $25 and
there is really no limit if the purchas
er cares togo higher. There are imi
tation Panamas, and some of them are
as good as the real ones that sell at $5
and up to the $lO which seems to he
the Panama minimum. These big hats
cost big money, but the up to date
man is known by I>is head gear. The
Panamas are supposed to last a life
time and are not affected by water nor
any thing else. But by next year
there may be another vogue and then
it will cost more money to be a follow
er of fashion.
This Panama prevalence was es
pecially noticeable at the recent Re
publican State Convention. All the
big fellows wore them and the big
ger the leader the larger was his Pan
ama. Hatters say that this summer
has been unprecedented in the bin
prices paid for men's straw hats.

Kidney trouble has
rlli"nk^K^~l.l become so prevalent
\] that it is not uncommon
r/l * or a c *° be born
afflicted with weak kid
- Iff neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

POINIERS WHORSEMEN.
Cn Wednesday morning the 23 iust.,
I found that one of my valuable mated
bay horses had been kicked in the hock
by the other one, some time during the
previous night. I fonnd him in a most
deplorable condition. His hock was
swollen as tight as the skin would hold.
The joint was three or four times its
normal size. The horse could not bear
a single pound of weight on it.
I applied MOVER'S WHITE LINIMENT
freely to the affected part at once. By
evening the swelling was reduced one
half. 1 bathed it again and 011 Thurs
day morning tht swelling had entirely
disappeared. He could now stand
firmly 011 the injured leg again and by
Thursday night 110 sign of lameness
could be seen.
This Friday morning he is working in
the team as well as ever.
The valine of such a liniment on the
farm and in the stable is incalculable.
I think the knowledge of its merits
should be sprend broadcast as rapidly
and as thoroughly as printer'.- ink can
make it known.
