Many Digging Goal From River.
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.
The owners of timber laud are mak
ing money as a result of the strike.
Every day big loads of wood are haul
ed to this city and it all finds a ready

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

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."

TOWNSMAN NOT
IFRAID OF SHAKES
Attorney W. 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.
Neat Apgar representing Peters Car
tridge Company of Cincinnati, <)., and
Nat Butler of the U. M. C. company,
Bridgeport, Conn., famous over the
whole country as crack shots, were in
this city Saturday. In honor of their
club held a special shoot at DeWitt's
Park. The score shows some remark
able shooting.
Apgar broke twenty-five targets
straight. He hit forty in succession
and during the shoot broke ninety

THE WHEEL RAN
OVER HIS HEAD
There is a small boy somewhere in
the Second ward who has been nursing
a very sore head during Sunday. He
is one of the largo number of young
sters who indulge in the dangerous
practice of stealing rides 011 the bag
gage trucks of tin* McOormick busses.
A great many close calls are on record,
but the boy in question escaped by tin*
narrowest margin of them all.
On Saturday about noon as one of
the busses was coming down East
Market street three boys wert* observ
ed on the truck, two of them riding
the tongue. At tie* Pine street corner
they attempted to get off. One of
those on the tongue alighted safely,
but the other, a boy about seven, fell
under the truck.
The spectators were horrified at
what followed. The wheel struck the
boy's shoulder and ran over bis head.
The little fellow sustained the full
weight of the truck,which jolted over
his cranium as though it were only a
clod of the street.
The boy staggered to his "Vet. In a
moment Edward Corman and others
were by his side. Oddly enough he
did not. seem seriously injured, al
though the side of his head where
struck by the wheel was badly abrad
ed and at once began swelling. Mr.
Corman was anxious to do something
for the boy, but his companions hustl
ed him away in the direction of the
second ward. His name could not be
ascertained.
Tlio truck fortunately was empty.
Had it been loaded as it mostly is
there would have been 110 hope for the
boy, as tin* wheel would have crushed
his skull.
New Dwellings at Mooresburg.
Mooresburg is taking 011 quite a re
juvenated .appearance under the influ
ence of the general prosperity reign
ing. A few of the dingy old land
marks. which gave the village quite
an ancient appearance, have been raz
ed to the ground, while several new
buildings quite tasteful and in keep
ing with the times architecturally,
have been added during the year or so
past. Two new dwellings are in
course of erection at present, one by
Clfarles Middleton and the other by
W. B. Stalil. A new dwelling built
by James Boudinan was recently com
pleted and is now occupied. Moores
burg is very beautifully located,with
the P. ct R. railway at its very door.
It already has several little industries
and it ought to grow into a larger
place.
Blower Installed at Water Works.
In order to increase the draft of the
furnace and thereby facilitate the work
of getting up steam a blower has been
installed at the water works. This is
a well-known device in pretty general
use at present. It was much needed
at the water works especially at such
times as now when river coal is being
used, which while a pretty fair make
shift can not lie relied upon for a
quick fire like freshly mined coal.
It is necessary to watch the furnaces
very closely and even then the fires are
apt to get low, when it becomes a
wAter OTfiMr Vi>e k, iv.WfcV
steam can be raised front seventy
pounds to one hundred pounds in ten
minutes time.
Wall at the Water Works.
At the east end of the Water Works
a stone wall is being laid as a protec
tion from floods and ice. Last spring
the water rose as high as the brick
part of the building and this wall will
save the foundations from the freshets.
The wall is circular and will be over
twenty feet in height. 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.

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.
