Teephone 1 f:!t> COUNCILS ABE SUSPENDED The Pennsylvania State Judiciary of the Junior Order ot United Ameri can Mechanics has issued a decree suspending 113 subordinate councils which refused to pay the increased per capita tax to the National Coun cil. Seven other councils, that filed answers and were tried, have been ex pelled by the same decree. The coun cils thus ousted constitute the major ity of the members of the order in this state and a rival organization will probably be formed. Two years ago, when the State Coun cil met in Philadelphia the "insur gents'' had a majority and there was a holt by the smaller faction, known as-"loyalists". Both factions elected state officers and quo warran to pro ceedings were brought to ascertain the legal standing of the two State Councils. This matter is still pend ing in the courts. The "insurgents" look upon this wholesale suspension of the "loyalist" judiciary as a bluff. Both sides are fighting in the Phila delphia courts for legal recognition, but a decisionjwi 11 not be given until fall. A special examiner has been taking testimony for over a year. W. P. lianiho, of Philadelphia,one of the attorneys for the "insurgents" makes this statement concerning the strength of the "insurgent" forces: "Since June, 1 '.•()•), when the National Coun cil at Minneapolis by a change in the ratio of representation allied the Wes tern, Southern and New England States against the States of the Mid dle East, the latter have held their own, with a solid membership in Pennsylvania of 15,000; New York, I0,(KM); New Jersey, 35,000; Virginia, 12,000. and District of Columbia,2,ooo while the tight has been even carried into Kentucky. The National Council needs the money from Pennsylvania. In I'.MK), when all the State lodges un der a ruling of the Supreme Court were forced to pay the per capita tax to the national body, Pennsylvania paid in $11,2*25.25 out of a total col lected from the members of the order of *2K,77«.50". Dr, Detwile* Breaks a Leg. l)r. B. 11. Detwiler, of Williams port, a leading physician of that city and a trust ee of the Hospital for the Insane at this place, had the misfor tune to sustain a fracture of a limb on Sunday morning. He was in the act of ascending the steps leading into his barn when he missed his footing and fell breaking his right leg below the knee. He was carried into liis residence w here the fractured limb was set by Drs. Klump and Donaldson. Dr. Detwiler is -well known in Danville and especially about the Hospital and his many friends here will he sorry to learn of his accident. At last accounts the injured member was doing nicely, hut but it will be at least six weeks before the doctor will he able to be about again. Surprise Party.

In addition to Charles H. Stoes, who was repre sented as the sole survivor it appears that no less than seven are still living who assisted to organize the famous old band. As to the date of organi /a tion there seems to he some difference of opinion among the survivors. In order to obtain full facts relating to band history in Danville The American set about the work a painstaking way, interviewing old timers and looking up the records. Stoes' band, it appears grew out of another organization the lirst regular cornet band in Danville—which was organized in ls:{K, with Abraham Sechler as president and leader. It was known as the " Danvi 1 le Independ ent Hand." Among the members were Jesse F. Sholes, George S. Sanders, Oscar Moore, Jacob R. Sechler, Mich ael Rishel, George \V. Hall, Joseph Hiles, Charles Sechler and Jesse Clark. Abraham Sechler was really the band pioneer of this section. Prior to the organization of the Danville In dependent Hand lie was at the head of an amateur organization made up of himself and four brothers. In course of time the Danville In dependent Band became the " Danville Cornet Hand." In 1K55 Charles 11. Stoes became its leader. In 1 sr»7 new instruments were procured. These were of German silver with the ex ception of that presented to the lead er, which was of solid silver. From that time on therefore, the organiza tion was known as "Stoes' Silver Cor net Hand." The members in addition to the leader, Charles 11. Stoes, were: Mover Lyon, George S. Sanders, John F. Gulick, H. W. Mussel man, A. F. llenrie, E. K. Hale. George \V. Hoffman, Charles Sechler, Jacob Weitzel, Joseph R. Patton, <>. G. Mcllin, H. IJ. Shick, Joseph Clark, and Hugh Pursel. The survivors at present are: Charles 11. Stoes, E. K. Hale, George VV. Hoffman, Joseph R. Patton, (>. G. Mcllin and Hugh Pursel. For many years it is said this hand was the most distinguished in the state, bearing away honors on many public occasions in various parts of the country. In 1856 a new cornet band was or ganized in Danville with Abraham Sechler as leader. It was known as "Scolder's Cornet Band." Many of its members later volunteered in the Army of the United States. Two other bands were organized later, hut they disbanded after a short career. Stoes' band still survives. J. T. (>berdorf is leader. Where Locusts Kill the Trees. It is odd that the seventeen year locusts, concerning which in other localities much has been written should not have made their appear ance in Danville or vicinity. This i.v unmistakably the year for the seven teen year locusts, but the fact is that the insects are likely to appear in anv remarkable numbers only in scattered localities. If any at all have appeal ed iu this vicinity the number has been exceedingly small and as a gen eral thing they have passed unnoticed. At many places the woods arc alive with them and their monotonous and melancholy song is heard on every side. Their presence is fatal to vege tation. They have ajjpeculiar way of preying upon the trees which kills the ends of the branches. The leaves affected soon droop and although they still cling to the slender t\\ig< they become brown as iu autumn, present ing the appearance of clusters of ripen ed fruit among the rich green of the leaves which escaped. Along the line o the P. <V: R. rail road over a tract of several thousand acres between Shuman'saud Rrandon ville the locusts 1 ave gotten in their work to perfection. At places the dead leaves outnumber the green ones and the landscape as far as the eye can see presents a drear and sombre aspect. It is quite a marvel to tourists and oth ers who travel the road and the con ductor and brakemen are kept busy explaining the cause of the phenomen on. Between Reading and llarrishurg, especially in the vicinity of Werners ville, the noble tracts of woodland, ordinarily such an attraction in slim mer, show but few green leaves and the densely wooded slopes present the appearance of late Autumn. Locusts are also numerous in many parts of ork ork and Adams County and the effects of their death dealing sting is plainly visible 011 the landscape. A New Barber Chair.

The convention, which was held in the Grand Jury room, was called to order at 2 o'clock by County Chair man Thomas W. Mills, who presided during the scdon. J. M Kelso and Rev. L. II W. Kline were chosen as secretaries. The room was well tilled with Pro hibitionists. In addition to the well known adherents of the party in Dan ville, there were au unusually large 1 number present from other parts of the county, including A. 1). Crossley of West Hemlock township; Clark Boone of Deny township ;atnl Henry Snyder, W. J. M essersniith, William Pollock, T. H. Yerg, William Robinson, J. H. Iji idv and Rev. M. (Flegal.of Wash igtonville. State Chairman Charles R. Jones, who arrived on the 2:'Jl Pennsylvania train, was also present at the conven tion. Before proceeding with the nominations lie gave a shcrt talk, lie was gratified, lie said, at the good at tendance which was in harmony with the increased interest in Prohibition which marks the campaign elsewhere iu the state. The sentiment in favor of Prohibition is especially strong in the Western part of the state. In Venango county at the last election the Prohibitionists elected a sheriff and US local officers. In that section, the present year he predicted that Swallow's vote for Governor will be more than double what it was in Is'.iS. The State Chairman recommended that Prohibition pledges be putin circulation among the voters. Many persons, lie said are favorable enough to Prohibition but. decline to vote the ticket on the ground that it would be "throwing away their vote". Had they any assurance of success, they say, they would vote for Prohibition. In order to take these people at their word pledges have been devised. The one that tin; State Chairman* recom mended for this county would read about as follows : Believing that political corruption largely made possible l>y tin- liquor traffic in politics is the most dangerous element of onr political life today 1. the undersigned citizen of Montour county hereby pledge myself to vole for the Prohibition party candidates in county atlairs, this pledge to be binding as soon as a bona tide notilica tion is received that l."> 00 genuine sig nal ures to this pledge have been obtain ed. The pledge is null and void tin less KiOO signatures have been received. On motion it was decided to adopt the above pledge and put it into cir culat ion. F. P. Johnson was elected Chairman of the County committee, with Rev. K. R. Dunn as Secretary and Thomas Mills as Treasurer. Clark Hoone of Dirry township; T. IS. Yerg, of Washingtonvilie and \V. 11. Mauger of this city were chosen as members of the Executive committee. They were authorized to appoint a full county committee embracing all the districts. The following nominations were made: Representative, Rev. L. 11. \V. Kline; County Commissioners, ('lark I'.ooiie and Thoma- Mills; Audi ors, E. L. Rank and J. M. Kelso. Rev. I J. M. W. Kline, Rev. L. R. Twichell and Rev. M. <'. Illegal were chosen as conferrees. They were in struct! d for F. P. .lohnson for State Senate and Rev. 11. C. Harman for Congress, taking in both long and short term. IDcatli of Au;e<l I a ly. Ellen, tin* wife of William Ward, died during Saturday night, after a long siege of suffering. The deceased fell down stairs some six weeks ago, sustaining internal injury of a serious nature which resulted in death. The deceased was born in Ireland, emigrating to this country in girll ood. She was married just prior to the Civil War, and resided in Danville ever since. Her husband,"Rilly" Ward, is a pavior of reputation, cobbling gut ters being his specialty. The old couple were well known about town, and during his wife's illness, Mr. Ward was kindly assisted by sympath izing neighbors. Sunday morning the door of the humble home on East Mahoning street, bore a bunch of crape indicating that the aged sufferer had passed to her long rest. She was very had on Satur day,although conscious,and Hilly says he informed her that "it would be the death of her." The husband sought his bed at night. He was very tired and notwithstanding the incessant groaning of his sick wife he fell asleep. When he awoke Sunday morning lie was surprised at the still ness which prevailed in the house. He at once sought the bedside of bis wife and found her dead. Mrs. Ward died childless. Her bus band has no idea of her exact age. lie himself, lie says, is 7-' years old and she was several years his junior. She had rounded out at least three score years and ten.

SOLDIER HE Ml 6ETTTSBI6 Company F, Twelfth Regiment, N G. P., arrived home from the division encampment, at (J«• 11ysburg, Saturday afternoon. Tho Twelfth troop (rain arrived in Sunbury too late for (lie Danvilie company to catch the 2:21 train, luit the hoys were brought up later. They marched from South Dan ville to the armory and looked very olrlierly. This camp was one of tin} hest ever held by the guard. The weather was unusually fine, as there was no rain until Saturday morning. The conduct of the entire guard was exceptionally good and thero was no disorder in Gettysburg during the week. The monuments and markers on the his toric battle tield were unharmed and the general impression left hy the citiz «u soldiery ol the Keystone state was very favorable. 10verytiodv in the guard from Governor Stone down was high ly pleasvl with the encampment. The soldiers were given plenty of opportunity togo over the battle tield and lectures oil the battle were given hy the guirles.There were two reviews, one by Governor Stone, and the other in honor of the visit of Secretary Root. Mr. Root paid a high compliment to the guard and the camp. The Twelfth Regiment showed up well at inspection and Colonel Clement made an address to the men Saturday morning,in which he spoke of their soldierly conduct ami of the good work of the regiment, not only while in camp hut in the past year which led to the high rating at the spring inspection. The Danville boys were kept posted on what nappi ned at home by The Morning News, a copy of which was mailed to every member of Company P. This was greatly appreciated and the company tendered its thanks to The News for the courtesy. The whole guard putin a profitable and earnest week at soldiering on a famous battle tield, but the Third Brigade was the most popular and was conceded to be the best, in the divis ion. General Gobin's regiments are all from the central part of the state and have improved considerably in flic past few years. The Third lias seen more service than the other two brigades and always docs efficient ser vice when on duty. It led the guard in the spring inspeetion ratings, hav ing the four highest regimental gener al averages. The Ninth stood first, the Twelfth second, the Eighth third and the Thirteenth fourth. The rat ings of the annual inflection at ('amp Meade are expected to keep this bri gade ill its well earned place. The special troop train of the Ninth liegi mcnt.passed through South Danville Saturday afternoon en route from (Jet tvshurg to Wilkesbarre. Israel M.iir'.s Visit to Danville. Israel Maier, of this eit.v, an inmate of the St. Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane, a government institution,situ ated about two mih s from Washing ton, I). ('.. made Ins escape on Friday morning. <>n Saturday be arrived at Danville on the early morning Pennsyl vania train, lunch to the surprise ot bis acquaintances, who were aware that lie should not be at large. <'liief of Police Milleeinoyer Was promptly notified who took the unfor tunate man into custody and sent a telegram to the government institution at Washington. Indue lime a reply was received which stated that an official was already on the way to Dan ville. Meanwhile Israel had been handed over to the sheriff. He gave no one any trouble and seemed very glad to get hack to Danville. He sent for several acquaintances whose vi-it> he enjoyed very much. James K. Toiler, Supervisor of the St. Elizabeth Hospital, arrived here Sunday 011 the I:17 Pennsylvania train, returning to Washington with Israel in charge on the 1:31 train. The supervisor in explaining the escape stated that there was nothing in Israel's case to just ify close confine ment and that lie was given many priv ileges. The hospital is surrounded by a brick wall 11 feet high, surmounted with barbed wire. Along the fence on the inside is a row of benches. Israel was frequently alone in the yard and it was not long before he began to ex ercise his ingenuity, lie saw that by placing one bench on another lie could easily gain the top of the fence. To protect himself from the barbed wire the use of newspapers suggested them selves. The first opportunity came during the breakfast hour. Israel was soon on the summit of the fence. He had provided himself with newspapers which lie wrapped around the barbed wires and thus managed to force him self through between them without injury. He reached the ground un harmed and made his way to the rail road where lie jumped a freight for Baltimore. In that city he managed to borrow enough money to pay for a ticket to Danville. A(JT °UIOKLY. Delay has Been Dangerous in Danville. Do the right thing at the right time. Act, quickly in times of danger. Backache is kidney danger. Doan's Kidney Pills act quickly, ('ure all distressing, dangerous kid ney ills.

The pain over my hips win continuous and when on my feet, it, was one steady gnawing ache.

HIDDEN LANDMARK DROIIOHT TO VIEW The heavy rain Tuesday which flooded our streets !'or an hour laid bare an old landmark, whose very ex istence was forgotten except by a very few. After the downpour an opening some <i\ feet iu diameter was discov ered at the rear of the lot belonging to the property of Benjamin Harris, West Mahoning street, which revealed below* an abandoned well nicely wall ed up with brick and at least forty feet deep. Some live feet, down are traces of rotten plank supported on the top of the brick wall. These gave way dur ing the rain precipitating the mass of earth with which the spot had been levcl'd over into the depth of the well Tie re-appearance of the old well Ins started a great deal of controversy anting people of middle life and older. Tiny ;i|| agree that many years ago the site was occupied hy Best and Rockefellar with a slaughter house and candle factory; also that a fire oc • curled there which willed out the build ings after which the well was aband oned. None, however, agree as to the dale. Some place the (ire at 15 years ago; others at 50 years. The method employed ill getting rid of the well is one not to he commend - |yd. The plank upon which the earth was dumped in filling up, it is true, held out well hut they gave way' in the end. The spot lies open to the public just adjacent to the row of stables. That a man or a horse was not engulfed iu thecavein is fortunate, i There is only one way to effectually I get rid of a well and that is to fill it up, beginning with the bottom. Coal Strike Stops BtuTling. i Danville is feeling the effects of | the anthracite coal strike in an in direct way that may seriously inter fere with building opeiations unless i there is a break in the strike and a resumption of coal shipments. There is a scarcity of lime here due to the lack of coal. A prominent con l tractor stated to a representative of this ] taper that lie has immediate use I for a hundred bushels of lime, but that lie is unable to get even a much smaller quantity. < Itlier builders feel ' the scarcity and work has been stop p it on several buildings until lime j can be procured. The cry of "more I mort." is not heard and all because of I the strike in the coal regions. The i users of (hi- most necessary commodity hope that local manufacturers will j soon get in enough coal to turn out ' a sufficient quantity of lime to relieve the scarcity. A statement given out at Wilkes harre is to the elfect that l.'t.lHHl mine workers have left t lie coal regions since the beginning of the strike. They have obtained work iu other places and within two months it is expected that many more will leave for other fields of labor. Tliif- exodus will have a far j reaching etl'i e| should the strike end because it is taking away nearly all the certified mine workers. The state law provides that no man shall he allowed to mine coal unless he has a cert ificate.to obtain which it is nec essary to have two years experience in the mines ami pass an examination. This prevents the employment of in experienced men to take the place of the >trik' is. Suit Won liy Ralph Kisner. ()ur yonng attorney, Ralph Kisner, lias just come out best in a legal con test in Luzerne county, in which his opponents were two leading lawyers of Ha/.letou. The defendant was Frank Laubach, wiio was arn hv State Fire Ward en Yost,under the act of lS'.i; for care lessly firing a valuable timber tract on the Nescopcck Moutain. The pre liminary hearing was held before Just ice \V. Pitt Hunter at t'oiiyngliain. Mr. Kisner, who represented the de fendant alone, contended that the word "carelessness" was synonymous with negligence and that it became in cumbent upon the Commonwealth to establish carelessness or negligence. The justice sustained the contention. After the witnesses for tin* Common wealth were heard Mr. Kisner asked for dismissal of the defendant on the failute to prove negligence, holding in addition that the act under which the arrest was made is unconstitution al. The Justice held the matter undci advisement. He lias just rendered his decision, dismissing the defendant. Fire Destroys Three Houses. Three houses on North Fifth street, Sunhury, were destroyed by fire Tues day morning. The fire originated in the home ot A. .1. McCnrdy and was caused by the explosion of a gasoline stove. A double house occupied by Mc- Curdy and Charles E. Kern and a single house in which Andrew Lyons resided were almost totally consumed. The furniture in all these houses was ruined. A gold watch belonging to Mr. Lyons was stolen from a bureau drawer while some of the furniture was being carried from the burning house. Several firemen were injured while fighting the flames and a falling chimney endangered many more. Mrs. Me' Jurdy was compelled to climb on the roof of her home, with her baby, and was rescued after climbing to the porch roof of the Lyons residence. MeCnrdv was burned about the face in bringing his son, Raymond, out of t lie house. There are some women who seem to be perennially youthful. The grown daughters are companions as well a children, and the color in the mother's cheeks, the brightness in her eyes, the roundness of her form, all speak of altomiding health. What is her secret? She is at the middle age of life when so many women are worn, wasted and faded, and yet time has only ripened her charms. The secret, of this matronly health and beauty may be told in the breif phrase, Dr. Fierce's Favorite Prescription. The general health of woman is so intimately related to the local health of the delicate womanly organs,, that where these are diseased, the whole body must suffer. "Favorite Prescription" dries the debilitating drains, heals ulceration and intlamma t ioii. cures female weakness and imparts to the delicate female organs natural vigor and vality. Women who have lost their health :md their beauty have been made "robust and rosy cheeked" by the use of this marvelous medicine. I | In the New | Woman V j |Sphe re * j PARDON me if I rehash a chap ter of congressional proceed ings which is now ancient his tory, for it is a record of sev eral weeks ago. It is an occurrence iu the United States senate, the most sol emn and "etiijucttlsh" masculine or ganization in existence, with the possi ble exception of the British house of lords. The headlining of the newspa per dispatch says, "Tillman and Mc- Laurin In Furious Combat With Fists Upon Floor of Senate." Yes, but wo men are too emotional to be allowed to take part in politics! Further, the dis patch says: "T. insinuated that M. had sold his vote for federal patronage. M. called T. a liar. T. sprang over three chairs and viciously attacked M., strik ing him in the face with his fist. M. hit back, striking T. on the nose, draw ing blood." .lust so! But women are too emotional to be trusted with the ballot or to take part in politics! Further, this dispatch concerning the cool and pow erful white male who permits not him self to he governed by his feelings says: "Again T. struck out frantically, tills time with his left hand. The blow did not hit M., hut struck in the face Ser geant at Arms Dayton, who had sprung over the desks in the effort to reach the two belligerent senators." But wom en are too emotional to take part In politics! < )nce more: "The two senators were still striking wildly at each other, some of the blows landing upon Mr. Layton. An instant later the angry senators were pinioned in the arms of Senators S. and W. Finally they were forced into their seats. T. was white as a sheet. As he sat in his seat he drew his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped blood from his face." Here in the senate of the United States oc curred a "scrap" unexcelled in vulgar fury and brutality in the lowest slums of men, white, black or yellow. Never theless, woman, you—you are a weak, hysterical creature, governed wholly by your personal feelings! Look up to man—powerful brained, calm, self con trolled man as your superior! Ilide yourself within your own Inferiority! You are too emotional to take part in politics—you! * No organization of men could have been more warmly or honorably wel comed at Washington than the nation al American woman suffrage conven tion was. Hon. Henry 15. F. Macfar land, president of the board of com missioners for the District of Colum bia, himself made to the women the address of welcome to the capital, and more than a thousand visitors were present to greet them. A Washington paper says that perhaps no meeting of the association ever aroused so much interest among Washington women themselves as the one of I'JOU. * » There is one Turkish woman in tho Ottoman empire who is a regularly graduated bachelor of arts. She re ceived her degree from the American college for girls at Constantinople. M * At a woman suffrage meeting a man asked Kev.

Tho University of Pennsylvania conferred some honorary degrees on distinguish ed individuals, and the individuals were present to receive them. One of tliein was an iron faced antique who has distinguished himself by bawling aloud early and late against the eman cipation of woman, but what else he is distinguished for I don't know, lie was made a doctor of laws. As one of the guests of honor there was present a gentle little woman who was also made a doctor, a doctor of letters, because of the service she had rendered in the field of literature. She was Miss Agnes Repplier.
