The low water ill the river lias made the digging of coal the popular lias get out in a boat and fish for black diamonds. When the river was high it was impossible to use a shovel, but now the water is so shallow and clear that the coal is easily gotten at. The approach of winter and the lack of coal has given an impetus to the riv er industry. At some places along the shore screens are set up and coal is taken out without using a boat.

A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Dira rhoea. "Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa. "I was taken sudenly with diarrhoea and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Lacoyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses,one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully, and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy, and this time one dose cure me." Foi -ale bv Faules & Co., 812 Mill street. VETERAN IRON WORKER GROWS REMINISCENT William Aten, Sr., the veteran iron worker and well known citizen,is still confined to his home, East Front street, by a lingering illness. He is seventy five years of ago. For forty-five years lie was an employe of the "Big Mill." Ho is not only one of the very few surviving who lived in Danville when the mill was built, but he actually assisted in its erection. His long career is crowded with incident,show ing to what extent in the generation past, before the perfection of machin ery, brawn and muscle were relied upon in industrial achievements. Mr. Aten was born at Strawberry Ilidgo in 1828. He assisted in hauling the timber used in building the mill here,in which the first T rail in Amer ica was rolled. The timber, which was the choicest and heaviest to be found, Mr. Aten says, was all cut in the vicinity of Washingtouville—most ly between that point and Exchange. In 1847 Mr. Aten went to work in the "Big Mill". He began as puddlor but after seven years he took up rail straightening. This work, which is now mainly done by machinery, was at that time the hardest employment about tho mill and required a man of great muscular development and en durance. The sledge wielded weighed over 90 pounds. Mr. Aten worked at rail straightening for thirty-eight years leaving the employment in 1892. As a rail straightener, he is credited with performing tho biggest days' work 011 record In one day ot eleven hours, ho straightened rails, twenty six feet long, aggregating in weight lie. tons, 15 cwt. gross. The record up to that time was held by Jack Williams of Phoenixville, who had crowded moro hours into the day and yet fallen short of the weight straightened by Mr. Aten. The latter then issued a challenge, inviting rail straightcners in general and Jack Williams in par ticular, to a contest. The challenge, although printed in all the newspapers of the couutry, was never accepted. Among Mr. Aten's compeers as rail straighteners were such well known men as Alem Sechler, Charles Sechler, Samuel McClow, James Murray and William Hartzell. Iu conversation Monday Mr. Aten gave an account ot one of the early labor troubles, which took place at the "Big Mill" in 1855, before it pass ed into the hands of Waterman & Beaver. Tho men struck for cash pay ment. Previously Mr. Aten said, they had been obliged to take nearly all their earnings out iu trade at the "company store" and had seen 110 cash for ten weeks. The strike lasted for seven weeks and the men gained their point. The native workmen of Danville were wholly without skill or experi ence in the manufacture of iron rails. They made rapid progress, however, under the expert workmen brought over from England and Wales and it was not long before they themselves were able to take charge of the differ ent departments of work. The early machinery was crude and insufficient. The engine of IK) horse [power,which at that time was regard ed little short of a curiosity It was a ponderous piece of mechanism sup ported on a frame work of heavy logs. The mill was putin operation in 1845. The arrival of the foreign work men with their families, eight hund red iu number,formed a very interest ing episode in the history of Danville. Mr. Aten says they all landed at about the same time and came to Danville iu a body. A largo number of houses on Northumberland and North Mill street had been built to receive them an a large number of others were built after their arrival. Of those English workmen so far as can be determined but two survive at the present—Ed ward Foley and Richard Morrall,both far advanced iu years. Mr. Aten says that a conservative estimate places tho amount of iron which passed through his hands dur ing his career as an iron worker at little less than a million tons. "Side Tracked." That highly amusing comedy drama, "Side Tracked," will be presented Saturday night at the Opera House and judging from the splendid recep tion tlie piece and company presenting it have been given by press and public throughout the country, it should prove a strong drawing card here. There is enough interest in the de velopment of the story to attract every class of theatre goers, as is evidenced by the applause from every portion of the house. Several special ties are introduced into the action of tho play, and the special scenery car ried by the company is new and ap propriate. Built a Stone Wall. C. C. Moyer has had a stout stone wall built along Mahoning creek at the rear of his property, below Mill street. The wall is now about a hundred foet long and will In- extend ed thirty feet more. Its average height is ten foet, although at several places the stone work reaches fifteen feet from the creek bed to coping. 00UL1) NOT SLEEP. No Rest at Night —Nervous —Worried Tired all the Time —The Medicine that Never Fails. Mr. J. M. Kline of Paxinof-', l'a,, says: 'Last fall 1 got a box of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve I'ills at Cosh's Drug .Store, Danville, Pa., and had my wife use them. She had suffered a great deal from nervousness and sleeplessness and nothing seemed to do her much good. The pill-f acted like a charm—soothing and quieting the nerves. She speaks most highly of them and I have no hesitation in recommending them." Dr. A. W. ('base's Nerve I'ills are sold at 50 ets a box at dealers or Dr. AW. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. V. See that portrait and signature of A. W. Chase, M. D are on every package. PRACTICE FOR FOOT BALL TEAM The Danville High School foot ball players are getting in shape for the season on the gridiron, which will open in a few weeks. The members of the team have not been chosen yet, but daily practice is developing some good material. There is no doubt that Danville will have a good eleven as there are many promising candid ates.

Kase West while visit ing the farm of Lewis Titel, Valley township, with some companions on Monday captured two flying squirrels. These odd little animals are some what rare, it is true, hut what was most remarkable ahout them on this occasion was the manner in which they were captured. They were espied in a little thicket. Mr. West darted into the hushes and a moment later re turned with the squirrels in his hands, each one as held being unable to de fend itself by biting. This was some thing new even to those who had spent their entire lives in the vicinity of the woods and they were inclined to look upon the attorney as a remark able being. This little exploit brought out the fact, which is well known by our townspeople who have lishid or ( amp ed with Mr. West, that, without lay ing any claim to power as a snake charmer ho lias overcome all fear of snakes, 110 matter how venomous; he knows how to handle them and noth ing affords him more amusement than to get into a fight with a snake. The contest is sure to end by the man adroitly seizing the reptile back of the neck and holding it helpless at arm's length. Probably not a littl" of the attor ney's amusement is derived from the terror of the onlookers as he toys with the angry snake, exposing its fangs and describing its characteristics. He claims that snakes without exception are cowardly and will quail before a person when fearless and determined. Besides, hut very few snakes are ven omous. He himself was once bitten by a blowing adder and experienced no ill results, although the genera 11 y accept ed view is that this snake Is very poisonous. Rattlesnakes and copper heads, although armed with the dead liest of fangs, Mr. West says, are as cowardly as any. Hi* has held them in his hands when they made 110 at tempt to bite him, although they struck viciously at others who ap proached. Ii» early life Mr. West as a surveyor was brought iu close contact with nature. He was always fond of the mountains and penetrated many a jungle where snakes were familiar ob jects. As a hoy lie confesses that lie shared in the general dread of serp ents. He began to study the reptiles however, and soon learned that he could cope with them in any struggh . Mr. West says many persons could not get. the best of a snake with a club, but that all that is needed is a small switch to subdue the most ven omous—that is if in the hands of the right person. In his own case never more than a few strokes are required, when the snake is very apt to stretch itself at full length and offer 110 resist euee when picked up. A Score of 25 Straight.

The work is being done under the direction ot Superintendent Reefer, of the Water Department. FIRM FOUNDATION. Nothing can Undermine it in Danville. People are sometimes slow to recog nize true merit, and they cannot be blamed, for so many have been hum bugged in the past. The experience ot hundreds of Danville residents, ex pressed publicly through newspapers and other sources, places Doan's Kid ney Pills on a firm foundation here. Mr. Josiah Williams barber, of 30 Ash street, says: ' I did not have to use a whole box of Doan's Kidney Pills before they cured my back of de pressing aching,and removed the lame ness which had made every move painful. The lameness centered right over my kidneys, and stooping or lift ing sent a sharp twinge through me, which when on my feet a dull gnaw ing pain took all the vim out of me. I gave some to Mr. (1 H. Stoes, of 217 E. Mahoning street, as I had no fur ther use for them, and he was as well pleased as I with the results obtained. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

I' OPEN AIR WORK NEAR A CLOSE The open air work of the Y. M. C. A. will close with September. Wheth er any meetings will be held during the last half of the month depends upon the weather. This open air work which is carried 011 every summer be tween June and September, is one of the activities of the Y. M. A. that is little understood. Speaking especial ly for the meeting which assembles every Sunday afternoon at the Eastern end of Mahoning street, it would be difficult to measure all the good ac complished Here along with the sprinkling of church members by whom the meeting is conducted week ly assemble a lot of people who could probably not be induced to enter a church and who thus are brought into the fold of gospel teaching. These meetings are very popular. There is good music. The talks are short and very much to the point. Comfortable seats are provided and those who attend are under no restraint being at liberty to come and go at pleasure. Yet without a single excep tion the order is of the best. A notable feature of the open air work this year is the distribution of tracts and books which carry the gospel into tlio homes of the people. Among the literature which have been distributed are one hundred books from the Colportage Association of Chicago. General Secretary W. 1). Laumaster spoke at the open air meeting yester day afternoon. UNION COUNTY FAIR. Reduced Rates via Pennsylvania Railroad.
