Y. IC. A. IS
BEING IMPROVED
The basement of the Young Mcu's
Christian Association is undergoing a
transformation that will arid greatly to
its efficiency and convenience. This
part of the building is devoted to the
physical department and the improv
ing is being done as rapidly as possible
so as to have all in readiness for the
opening of the gymnasium on the first
of October. The new physical instruc
tor, Charles C. Carpenter, of Heading,
will be hero at that time to begin the
work of instructing the gymnastic
classes.
The gymnasium is to be re-painted
in lighter colors, which will make it
more cheerful. New apparatus is also
to be putin and the big room will be
entirely renovated. The lavatories,
containing the tub and shower baths,
have already been painted in the new
color, increasing the effect of the light
from the windows. The locker rooms
and all the steam pipes are to be sim
ilarly painted. When all is completed
this department will be one of the
coziest and handsomest of any associ
ation in this part of the state.
The prospectuses of the Y. M. C. A.
lecture course, which were printed at
this office, are being distributed
about town. The course includes
many notable lecturers and line mus
icians. The number of reserved tick
ets is limited to seven hundred and
persons wishing them are requested to
make application at once to W. Y.
Oglesby, Esq., at his office on Mill
street. A delay until the canvassers
get around may result in all the tick
ets being engaged.
Frightened By Indians.
The arrival of the Shikellimy In
dians, Monday morning, to attend
the Red Men's picnic frightened Fran
ces Harpel, daughter of Dr. P. E.
Harpel, and Alexander and Florence
Vincent, children ot Tharideus Vin
cent. They saw the painted braves,
in all their war panoply, getting out
of their wagons at Hunter's livery'
stable. They thought they were real
Indians and in their anxiety to escape
jumped down into the bed of the can
al.

Danville Lost at Williamsport.
The "Old Timers" lost at William
sport Monday by a score of 15 to 1.
The local players went up against a
strong combination and played a good
game. Costly errors contributed to
the defeat, hut Williamsport had
Lush in the box and his delivery was
a puzzle for the "Old Timers". In
the game with the Philadelphia Giants
last week, which was won by Will
iamsport, Lush struck out sixteen of
the Giants.
A Good Show,
The Byron Spaun company gave
another good performance before a
good sized audience in the tent at the
foot of Pine street, last evening. This
company certainly deserves patronage
as it gives a number of splendid vau
deville acts, which carry with them
all that is wholesome. The aerial
and acrobatic act of the Barkers is es
pecially worthy of mention and called
forth frequent applause. The com
pany remains the balance of the week.

A BIG RUSH TO
BLOOMSBURG FRIDAY
There was little doin' in Danvill
'Friday outside of the big iiulust
ries, as everybody who could get a
day off went to Bloomsburg to partic
ipate in the centennial celebration.
The streets were almost deserted dur
ing the afternoon.
It is estimated that at least •-.'">oo ot
our citizens were in Bloomsburg. Of
these li:tt> went up via the P. &. R.
and 750 over th I). L. W. railroad.
The P. R. R. kept no account of the
tickets sold to Bloomsburg. Neither
is it possible to determine how many
drove up, but if is believed that hun
dreds from Danville and immediate
vicinity made the trip in hacks ami
other vehicles.
All on returning spoke very highly
of the day's events. The principal
feature of course was the firemen's
parade, the line of march of which
was printed in these columns a few
days ago. The parade was nearly a
, mile long and is described as one of
the finest asssemblages of firemen ever
seen in this section. There were ten
bauds in line and It drum corps. The
Friendship Fire Company, with Stoes'
! hand, the Washington Hose Company
with its drum corps and the Continen
tal Hose Company of this city were
1 in the parade. In point of dress and
appearance the Danville firemen, it is
' said, compared favorably with any in
line.
The hose contest was won by the
Eagles of Pittston, the prize being S2O.
The same company cariieri off the
prize—$25—as the best drilled. Neith
' er ot the Danville companies entered
the contests.
Communicated.
' Editor Montour American One is
i
I apt to wonder what has occurred to si
! lence the advocates of sewerage. There
was plenty of agitation on the sub
-1 I ject a few months ago, but now one
1 ! seldom hears the matter discussed at
all. Has the mere fact ot the sum
mer's being phenomenally wet,so that
I Blizzard's run and Mahoning creek
did not prove exceptionally offensive
; been sufficient to turn all thought
away from sewerage, as though the
' unique conditions obtaining now were
likely to occur yearly in the future?
The two streams named are already
| falling and that they in the future
will prove as foul and noxious as ever
in the past is as certain as that the
i sun shall continue to rise and set. To
! ignore this fact is hardly worthy of
| thinking men who would take the
! least thought for the morrow.
I If our town is to grow—if it is to
1 advance one step beyond where it is,
then it must have sewerage. It has
been demonstrated how it can be done
1 without increa ed taxation and how
eventually sewerage will pay for it
self.
Danville is booming industrially.
There is need of new houses and with
out them the town can not grow. But
t new dwellings to rent to an advantage
must contain the modern improve
ments —must be up-to-date. The town
must offer some inducement. It must
afford sewerage facilities to encour
age building along the one line that
promises any return for the money
invested. The need of sewerage is
felt at all times and in many ways,
whether the season is wet or dry and
the streams about town are foul or
otherwise.
CITIZEN.
The month of August, 11102,wi1l pass
into history as a cool and refreshing
memory. Meteorologists say the glor
ious weather,with its fine,feathery cir
rus about sunset time,and all its brill
iant and exhilarating effects,is due to
exactly the same cause that has given
a cool summer all along; that is to
high pressure atmospheric eddy lying
to the northwest. In commenting on
the weather for the Philadelphia
Press a meteorologist says the cool
spells of r.io2 are the result ot a vigor
ous circulation, essentially from the
north, set up by the eastward-moving
high pressure atmospheric eddies
i which represent a down draught at
the center. The type of eddy, tech
nically known as "anti-cyclonic," so
long as it keeps to the northern cir
cuit, conditions a cool summer and it
is due to the steadiness of these north
> ern anti-cyclones entirely that the
summer of 1902 has been so remark
able. So long as these high pressure
eddies move along the northerly cir
cuit just so long will the weather keep
cool.
To Consolidate.
At a meeting in Elmira the other
day of the New York Telephone Com
pany and the United Telegraph and
Telephone Company it was decided to
consolidate the two companies, says a
news item.
The lines will extend from Bing
hamtou, Elmira, Cortland, Towanda,
and intermediate points, will cross
the Hudson River, and finally connect
with United Telegraph and Telephone
Company lines at Williamsport.
New York State is now included in
the United Telegraph and Telephone
Company's lines, which already ex
tend over Pennsylvania and Maryland
and are making inroads into Virginia.

Benedict's Greatest Production.
" Wormwood,or The Absinthe Drink
ers of Paris" will be produced at the
opera house on Saturday evening next,
September oth. Its incidents are bas
ed upon the terrible curse of absinthe,
| a pernicious evil which is spreading
not only over the entire European
continent, but throughout America as
well. Working upon this theme, Ma
rie Corelli wrote one of the greatest
works of the nineteenth century, a
hook of great dramatic strength and
of greater poetic divination. Utiliz
t ing the material, Clias. W. Chase, the
dramatist has written a drama of such
intensity, purity of thought, beauty
ot sentiment and general excellence
throughout, that many who have
seen it say that like Corelli's book,
the play will live forever. Few who
have read the book will miss the op
portunity of witnessing Corelli's
wonderful character studies endowed
with life and moving and talking
before them. Mr. Airicn Benedict,
who has purchased the sole rights to
this play, hits provided a strong and
capable company, beautiful scenery
and many novel electric effects and il
lusions and promises us one of the
best entertainments we have witness
ed in many years.
Dirty W.H at The Water Works.
Water Superintendent P. J. Keeter
has a force of men employed in clean
ing out the river well connected with
the Water Works. The well wasclean
eri out two years ago. It is now in a
wretched condition, there being a
deposit of mud very offensive in
odor seven feet deep tilling the well
half full.
Our town is indeed fortunate in
having a filter plant, a fact that is
made very apparent at such times as
now, when we reflect that our borough
water is pumped from the foul well
ju-t described.

LODGE OF ELKS
The Danville lodge of Elks No. 751,
has leased the second and third floors
of the Grime building, coiner of Mill
and Kast Mahoning streets and will
take possession about October Ist.
The seeond floor will be used as social
rooms and (lie third as a lodge room.
The two floors leased will be arranged
and fitted up to suit all the require
ments of the lodge.
It is doubtful whether any lodge of
Elks in central Pennsylvania can
boast of a finer lodge home than the
new quarters being fitted up for Dan
ville Lodge No. 7. r il.The lodge was or
ganized as recently as December 31st
last and now numbers forty-four mem
bers. Many new applications are in
sight and the steady growth of the
lodge is insured.
The leasing of the highly desirable
rooms is a sti ol.t ol t nit i prise I hoiough
ly in harmony with the spirit of the
times and indicates that the new lodge
of Klks is made np of progressive
young men and that henceforth it
will be a strong and influential factor
among the secret societies of Danville.
The Order of Elks is a rapidy grow
ing one and new subordinate lodges
are being established in nearly every
town. "Benevolent and Protective"
in its nature, it is established on
principles, which in these strenuous
days ot merciless competition place
before it a broad mission of humanity
and usefulness.
Nature Compared Witli Art. Wonderful
Niagara.
It is a remarkable fact that while
one or two views of any work of art
is sufficient for most persons, we nev
er tire of looking at nature's master
pieces of scenery. One of the greatest
of these is Niagara Falls,and few per
sons ever visited this stupendous and
wonderful specimen of nature's handi
work without desiring to revisit it
time and time again. The fact is that
it seems almost impossible to realize
the wondrous beauty and strength of
the falls and rapids at first, and the
more you gaze at it the more its ma
jestic grandeur impresses you.
The popular Ten Dollar Excursions

The maternal instinct exists in every
woman,and when it is ungratified she
is deprived of much of th happiness of

the delicate womanly organs, puts
them in a condition of normal health,
the lack of which is often the sole ob

THIRTEEN WAS

The fateful number thirteen was a
"hoodoo" for the ' Old Timers" on
Saturday afternoon,at Dewitt's Park,
thirteen eriors being made by the loc
al players. Then Mt. Carmel bad
thirteen bits, which made things easy
for them. Four runs in the first inn
ing, four in the si\th and six in the
eighth shows how easy their victory
was accomplished A run HI the -t-r
onil, two iu the fourth and another
one in the seventh completed their
tallying,giving them a total of eight
een. Danville had seven, two being
scored in the third inning, one in the
fourth, two in the fifth and two in the
ninth.
Errors were plentiful on the part of
the "Old Timers," this being the
chief cause of defeat. Until the sixth
inning but two bits were made off
Rentier, the seven runs made by the
visitors resulting from eight errors.
Danville had, up to this point of the
contest, gotten five runs on five hits.
Gosh was at bat five times and got
four hits and a bast oil balls. In the

Rare Old Books.
~ H. J. Bird, of South Danville, is
the owner of a book'printed in London
in 1710. Its title is:"A Practical Ex
position of the Church Catechism"
and the author is John Ollytfe, rector
of Duuton in Bucks. The volume is
well preserved and is interesting be
cause of its quaintness. The old fas
hioned style of spelling is used, the 112
instead of s, and other peculiarities
which add to its value. Mr. Bird al
so has several other book- of ancient
date. ()nt* of these was published
when the United States constitution
was adopted and contains not only the
original constitution, but also has the
Declaration of Inde|>eiideiice and other
historic information of the critical
period when this nation was in the
process of formation.
Adam Lolir and Wife.
Our townspeople Friday witnessed
something of a departure in Evange
listic methods. During the afternoon
Adam Lolir and wife who hail from
Williamsport drove into this city in
a covered one horse wagon, from
which after dark they addressed a
crowd at Mill and Mahoning streets.
The wagon is a neat looking vehicle
fitted up as a home for the couple.
The curtains are full of inscriptions
relating to the scriptures. Neatly
painted along the top are the follow
ing words: "Servants of Jesus Christ
and Saints of the Lord."
The man claims that lie was sick for
years but that he became converted
and was cured by Jesus after which
he and his wife, also converted, gave
up their home and started out in the
world to preach the gospel.

A Big Eel Stops the Pump.
The efficiency of the Water Works
Tuesday night was seriously impaired
by a big eel which bad wiggled bis
way into one o' the pump«. Tin lat
ter refused to work at all. In order to
determine what was the matter it
was necessary to throw the pump out
of service and open the valve, when
his celship was discovered iu a pret
ty tight place, jammed iu the machin
ery in such a way as to effectually in
tercept the flow of water. The eel
was about two feet long and nearly
as thick as a man's wrist.
In addition to the eel a few pieces
ot drift wood had also found their way
into the pump, the presence of the
obstructions no doubt being due to
the agitation of the wafer in the river
incidental to the •'leaning out of the
wells.
