MOULDERS ASSIST
Till: HIKE WORKERS
The Iron Moulders' Union, No. 124
made up of the employes of the Stove
Works, this city, as an evidence of its
sympathy for tho United Mine Work
ers some weeks since decided to raise
a sum of money to assist them in
their strike. The plan adopted was
to chance off a stove, a "New Beaver
Heater," No. 13, one of the best and
most modern products of the stove
works being selected. This was
chanced off at a sociable held in the
Armory on Saturday night, John Rich
ards, Chambers street, winning the
stove.
Tho stove moulders, who are zeal
ous Union nieu, determined to show
their devotion to the principle of lab
or organization by raising a sum that
they would not neod to bo ashamed
of. The members of the Union,there
fore applied themselves very indus
triously to the sale of tickets. Their
labors were well rewarded and upon
winding up affairs Saturday night
they found that they had realized tho
andsome sum of s2i)o. This sum
will be sent to President John Mit
chell at Wilkesbarre to be used in sup
porting the miners 011 strike.
The social, itself, which was attend
ed by the moulders and their families
aud_a large number of others, was
quite a success financially and other
wise. It is doubtful whether 011 any
occasion in the armory dancing was
mere enjoyed. Music was furnished
by Methorell's orchestra. The Mech
anicsville baud was also present, dis
coursing some of its best selections ill
the street in front of the armory and
later assisting the orchestra to play
for the grand march.
The officers of tho Iron Moulders'
Union, No. 124 are as follows: Presid
ent, Alexander Mann ;Fiuancial secre
tary John Herrick ; Recording secre
trav, David Rishol; Corresponding
secretary, John Jenkins; Treasurer,
R. W. Fetterman. Michael Tierney
is secretary of the special committee
appointed to chance off the stove. The
Union through the columns of Tho
American J desires to thank the
public for its liberal response in tho
purchase of tickets and for help and
encouragement extended iu other ways.
A Certain Oure 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 tho 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 011 tho 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." For sale by

GUARDSMEN UNDER
WAITING ORDERS
The situation throughout tlie coal
region is becoming serious and practi
cally the whole anthracite field is
now being patrolled by troops. Sheriff
Beddall, of Pottsvillc, has asked Gov
ernor Stone to place Schuylkill county
under martial law. He claims that
he is unable to cope with the situa
tion. The whole First and Third
brigades are likely to he pressed into
servico if the disorder continues. The
state authorities are determined to pre
serve order. The Fourth Regiment
will be ordered to Mahanoy City and
if necessary martial law will be de
clared.
The First Battalion of the Twelfth
Regiment has been transferred from
Columbia Park, Shenandoah, to Leb
anon, because of the trouble there be
tween the negro strike breakers and
the employes of the American and
Iron Steel Manufacturing Company.
The battalion is under the command
of Colonel Clement, with his regi
mental staff, and includes Companies
B, G, D and I, of Williamsport, and
H, of Lock Haven. Quarters at Leb
anon have been provided in the armory
of the local Fourth Regiment com
pany and the Lebanon market house.
The Fourth Regiment is under wait
ing orders togo into service when
ever needed. The First Brigade regi
ments in Philadelphia are also being
held in readiness to respond to a call
to the coal regions. At Manila Park
the First Battalion of the Twelfth
Regiment, under command of Major
Charles P. Gearhart,and consisting of
the Danville, Suubury, Lewisburg
and Milton companies, is at all times
ready to move 011 the shortest notice.
Since its stay in the Schuylkill
region and especially since the transfer
to Manila Park the First Battalion
lias seen considerable active service
and an order to bo ready for immedi
ate duty is nothing unusual to the
soldiers. But now they are under
orders to be prepared for any emerg
ency, which is taken to mean that
they may leave Manila Park.
The movement of the Second Bat
talion of the Twelfth to Lebanon was
done very quickly and was quite a
surprise. When the order was given
many of the soldiers did not, know
where they were going and the depar
ture attracted very little attention.
It was supposed that the battalion was
only being sent, on one of the hurry
calls to Mahanoy City or some other
place within close reach of Shenan
doah.
The Ninth Regiment, under com
mand of Colonel C. Bow Dougherty,
was ordered into the field yesterday
at noon and is now encamped at Dor
ranceton. The headquarters of the
Ninth is at Wilkesbarre and the regi
ment is composed of the following
companies: A,Wilkesbarre ; B, Wilkes
barre ; G, Hazloton; H, Pittston; I,
Plymouth; K, Wilkesbarre; L, Kings
ton, and M, Pittston. An appeal was
made to Governor Stone yesterday
morning, at 10 o'clock, by Sheriff
Jacobs and prominent citizens which
led to the orders to the Ninth.
The immediate cause of the appeal
by the sheriff was a march made by
four hundred strikers near Pittston
early yesterday morning, their object
being to prevent the starting of the
Lehigh Valley Exeter colliery where
operations wore to be resumed. All
of the men were stopped on their way
to work and a number were prevailed
to return home. Four refused and
were set upon by the crowd and sev
erely punished.
At Nanticoke there was a march of
strikers with a view of inducing non
union men to quit work. While they
were not successful no depredations
were committed and no one was injur
ed.
President Baer, of the Philadelphia
& Reading; President Truesdale, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern ; President Walters of the Lehigh
Valley, and other prominent operat
ors, attended a meeting of the board
of directors of the Temple Iron Com
pany at New York yesterday. John
Markle, of Hazleton, was in confer
ence with J. Pierpont Morgan, but
nothing was given out for publication.
President Baer stated that the meeting
was entirely informal. When asked
as to the strike he said: "I am not a
prophet. The strike will end. That
is the on'; thing we may all be certain
of. But I will not attempt to say
wheu'it will end."
Autumn Arbor Day.
In designating October 17 as the
autumn arbor day State Superintend
ent of Public Instruction Schaeffer
makes these suggestions to the rural
schools:
"The value of trees for utility and
adornment, the effect of forests in re
taining and distributing rainfall, and
the forestry movement under which
half a million acres have been purchas
ed by the state and set apart as a pub
lic reservation may be profitably dis
cussed. The career now opening up to
young men who make forestry a pro
fession should ho pointed out. But
above all else the pupils should be
taught by actual experience how to
plant trees, how to promote their
growth and how to protect them from
noxious insects and other enemies."

THE STAR COURSE
OF Y. M. C. A.
No organization devoted specifically
to the welfare of young men is doing
a nobler work than that of the Young
Men's Christian Association. The
service it renders is a recognition of
I the needs of young men and its su
preme aim is to fit young men for any
and all duties to which they may be
called in the far reaching relations of
modern life. Its influence is growing
with every year and nearly !j(i,000,000
is to be spent in now buildings. Last
year the Sioux Indians in the Dakotas
built eighteen log buildings for Young
Men's Christian Association headquar
ers and a large work is being done
among the colored people in the north
and south. The association is also
gaining in Cuba, Porto Rico, India,
China, Japan and throughout Europe.
The Danville Association is partic
ipating in this onward movement..
Its improvements are about completed
and are greatly appreciated by the
members. The gymnasium is to have
new chest machines, a new striking
hag and frame and a medicine ball,
with other uew apparatus. 011 the
first of uext month the "gym" will be
opened with C. C. Carpenter,of Read
ing, as physical instructor.
On Friday evening November 21 the
Y. M. C. A. Star Course of entertain
ments will begin. The handsome pro

his famous orchestra will be greeted
with a crowded house. Miss Lillian
Berry Reed will be the soprano soloist
and Bert Brown the cornet soloist.
Hon. Charles B. Laudis, tho brill
iant young Congressman from Indiana
will lecture 011 Friday, December 12.

Persons desiring tickets for tho
course are requested to get them at
once at Hunt's drug store, Grone's
book store, W. V. Oglosby's office md
the Y. M. C. A. By doing so the work
of the special committee will be great
ly lessened. Solicitors are to be sent

will save them the trouble of making
unnecessary calls.

ELKS PLAT i
GBEAT BALL GAHH
Celebrated in ancient history is the
field of the cloth of gold on which
royalty met and the pomp of power
glittered. But the twentieth century,
with its hustle, its bustle, its automo
biles, its wireless telegraphy and
things that the kings who cavorted on
the field of gold never dreamed of in
their wildest nightmares, Friday
showed that, the age that is puts in
the "has been" class the age that
was. The field of the diamond, known
as DeWitt's Park, was the scene of
this latter day achievement. Danville,
Shamokin, Sunbnry, Bloomsburg,
Lebanon and other towns contributed
the shouters who greeted vociferously
the advent of base ball teams from the
Danville and Shamokin lodges of
Elks.
Only seven innings were played,but
the game was full of tun from the
time Umpire Hoffman said "play
ball" until tin* curtain, September
dusk, was rung down on the scene.
The Lebanon delegation was equipped
with megaphones and made the paco
for the "rooters". As for features
they wore so numerous that only a
reference to the figures of the official
score will reveal the brilliant plays.
Danville made all its runs in the
seventh, which was the last one, and
the local players were just warming
up when the game was called. The

requires that algebra audttivil govern
ment. be taught and as these two
branches have not heretofore been re
quired, applicants for schools were
unprepared to take examinations.
He estimates the number of those exam
inations this year as 40 per cent less
than last year Possibly the low
wages paid in several townships may
also prove unattractive to ambitious
young men and women.
A Boy's Wild Ride for Life-
With family around expecting him
to die, and a son riding for life, IS
miles,to get Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
W. H. Brown, of Leesville, Ind., en
dured death's agonies from asthma,but
this wonderful medicine gave instant
relief and soon cured him. He writes:
"I now sleep soundly every night."
Like marvelous cures of Consumption,
Pneumonia, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds
and Grip prove its matchless merit for
all Throat and Lung troubles. Guar
anteed bottles 50c and SI.OO. Trial
bottles free at. Panics and Co's. drug
store.
Houses are very scarce in Danville
at present and persons looking for
dwellings, especially of four and five
rooms have the greatest difficulty in
being accommodated.
WINTER FUEL IS
MUCH IN DEMAND
The people of Danville are getting
their supply of winter fuel from many
different sources This does not mean
that there 's a plentitude of coal, hut
tliat much effort is required to get
what is absolutely needed. It seems
to he a case of everybody hustling for
themselves and the most of the coal
that conies here is from the river and
is in car load lots. The local dealers
haul the fuel for those who are for
tunate enough to get a car in. Of
course there is considerable wood sold,
but it is delivered direct, to the pur
chasers bv the seller.
Sunhury is the shipping centre for
the river coal, although some of it
comes from Hhamokin creek, which
empties into the Susquehanna below
Sunhury. The Berenice mines, in
Sullivan county, operated by W. B.
Gunton, have been working steadily
throughout the strike,but its output is
usually engaged a month ahead. Some
coal is hitulcd here from the mine at
McAuley.but a cave-in tli ;re has stop
ped digging for a few days. Consid
erable coal is now being taken out of
the river here and one of the '•min
ers" of this city yesterday disposed
of three tons at a good price.
On The Lookout For Bold Former.
The United States Express Company
is annoyed by the operation of a very
clever forger, who has the habit of
raising its money orders front one dol
lar or thereabouts to ten dollars. The
forger lias purchased as high as nine
one-dollar money orders at one place.
Frequently he has used a rubber stamp
with which to till in the amount —
"ten"—after erasing the original
amount with acid. The forger is
about 5 feet, 8 inches in height, about
30 years of age and weighs about 100
pounds He has light complexion,
blue eyes and may have a sandy mous
tache. He presents a business-like ap
pearance. He may be accompanied by
a woman who is about 5 feet 1 or -i
inches in height—weighs about 130
pounds, has black hair, dark eyes,
rather piercing. She is good looking
and may wear a tailor made suit and
small diamond carings.
The agents of the United States Ex
press Company have received instruc
tion to examine carefully all money
orders that may be received through
banks and if they find that any of them
have apparently been raised to cause
the arrest of the persons presenting
them for payment should they be un
known and answer the description
given above.
Hurrying Railroad Work.
The Bloomsburg Pi ess says work on
the new railroad between Kyers Grove
and Berwick is being pushed at a
lively rate. The Press says:"From
Eyers Grove to Low's bridge there
are three hundred workmen already
employed and the number is being in
creased daily although the contractors
have been unable to take them on as
fast as they are coming in. Every in
coming trolley continues to bring
them in and Main street, yesterday,
took on the appearance of a mining
town. The work of grading is being
pushed rapidly forward and a remark
ably large amount of work has been
accomplished in the brief time that
has already elapsed. An office has
been opened at Light Street that will
keep the contractors in close touch
with the work. A car load of carts
was unloaded at Light Street yester
day and there is another one ready to
he unloaded today. Men to look after
the feeding of this small army are al
ready here. Manager Haupt will have
the Evers Grove-Watsontown branch
in good shape when the new branch is
completed. He has doubled the size
of the section gangs, and is fast get
ting the road up to the standard ot
I ho best.''
SO SOOTHING.
Its Influence has been felt by so many
Danville Readers.
The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from Itching Piles,
From Eczema or any itchiness of the
skin.
Makes one feel grateful to the
, remedy.
Doan's Ointment has soothed hund
• reds.
Here's what one Danville citizen
says:
Mr. I). O. Williams, Iron Hoofer, 20
Lower Mulberry street, says:—"l can
highly recommend Doan's Ointment.
Before using it 1 was greatly annoyed
with a burning and itching rectal
trouble. This led me to become in
terested on hearing about Doan's Oint
ment and I procured it at a drug store
and found it satisfactory. I did not
use the remedy long before I was com
pletely cured."
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Fos'er-Milhurn Co., Buffalo,

Remember the name—Doan's—and

Fanner's National Congress.

tional Congress, which will be held at
Macon, (Jeorgia, October T to 10. This
district will be represented by D. W.
Cooper, of Northumberland county.
The display of southern products at

A Parson's Noble Act.
"I want all the world to know,"
writes Rev. O. J. Budlong, of Aslia
way, K. 1., "what a thouronghly good
and reliable medicine I found in Elec
tric Hitters. They cured me of
jaundice and liver trouble* that had
caused me great suffering for many
years. For a genuine all around cure
they excel anything 1 ever saw."
