OUR BOARD
OF TRADE
Is thore a Board of Trade in Dan
ville and if so .why docs it not hold a
meeting now and then to do some
thing for the protection and advance
ment of the town's business interest?
This question is being asked very
frequently upon our streets during the
last few days, especially since the
publication of the article in these
columns, Tuesday, describing a new
industry—a carpet lining manufactory
—which might bo obtained for our
town. It seems to be the sense of our
citizens that this proposition should
be investigated in a systematic disin
terested way, as could be only accom
plished by an organized board of trade
working for the good of the town.
~ln reply to the abovo question tiie
American would state that there
is a Board of Trade in Danville—that
there was one, at least, a couple of
years ago, which has never disbanded
and is therefore competent to do busi
ness should the occasion arise.
John 11. Goeser is the President and
J. C. Peifer, secretary, while among
the members ot the board are a large
number of our leading business men.
The President and secretary wero both
interviewed yesterday and they ac
knowledged that the Board has not
been very active of late, and tiiat the
time has now arrived when renewed
activity is necessary. Mr. Goeser
stated his intention of calling a meet
ing of the Board in the very near fut
ure. Ho realizes that a Board of Trade
is indispensable in every wide awake
progressive town such as Danville
should aspire to be.
Lawn Tennis Olub.
It looks as if the gamo of lawn ten
nis would bo extensively revived in
Danville during the coming season.
One of the advantages of the game is
that it cau be played violently or in
moderation, according to the inclina
tion of the players.
The Y. M. C. A. Tenuis Club has
arranged to add another lot to the one
on West Mahoning street occupied last
season. This addition will allow space
for three tennis courts and also a place
for quoits, pole-vaulting, jumping and
similar sports together with a narrow
running track around the outer edge of
the lots.
The club now has a membership of
about a dozen and the enlarged facili
ties will make it possible to add about
twenty to the membership. Any one
desiring to join the club can obtain an
application blank of the General Sec
retary who will be pleased to give any
required information. All applications
for membership aro passed upou by
the membership committee, consisting
of Geo. Maiers, chairman, Bert Mc-
Clure and George E. Clark. The in
itiation fee is $2.00 which is in lieu of
all assessments during the first year.
Board of Directors Elected.
At a meeting of tho stockholders of
tho Colonial Spinning Mills hold at
the main office of the Company in
this city on Saturday last the follow
ing Directors wore elected to serve
for the ensuing yearJ. B. Watson,
F. Q. Hartman, Ed. J. Hartman, W.
J. Hartman and A. C. Hartman—with
F. Q. Hartman as President and Man
aging Director ; William J. Hartman,
Vice President; Edward J. Hartman,
Secretary and Treasurer and A. C.
Hartman, Superintendent. Tue Col
onial Spinning Mills are located at
Berwick.
Surprise Party
A surprise party was tendered Mrs.

West, Miss Rosa Hack of Jerseytown,
Misses Libbio Gething and Margaret
Gething, Messrs. Clarence Colton,
Ernest West, Herbert Blohn, Emerson
West, Walter Blohn,Frank Hendershot,

Profit From Advertising.
The manufacturer of a certain brand
of chewing tobacco in telling how he
made a name and a market for tho pro
duct says that lie spent $1,000,000 in
advertising it and that since then he
has made $12,000,000 from his invest
ment. The same story is told by all
who seek the aid of printer's ink. Tho
manufacturer or dealer must advertise
in order to make his business profit
able, but when it begins to pay the
profits come in like a flood.
HARD FIGHT
WITH FIRE
Tho accumulation of water in the
cellar is not generally regarded as a
piece of good fortune; nevertheless
there is one instance on record where
such a circumstance prevented the
house from burning down.
The building jeopardized by firo was
the residence of the late Alem Sech
lor,at Kipp's Hun. The sole occupants
of the house on Tuesday night were
Mrs. Sechlor and her sister, Mrs.
Mariah Boudman of this city. About
3 o'clock in the morning Mrs. Boud
man, who happened to be awake, de
tected the odor of burning wood. She
aroused her sistor and the two lost no
time iu making an investigation.
They found the entire lower story
tilled with smoke. They were uuable
to locate the lire until they happened
to open the door of a closet which was
located next to (lie chimney when the
smoke came pouring out in increased
volume, revealing the fire at the base
of the chimney.
Mrs. Sechlor immediately called her
son, Dairyman Lafayette Sechlor, who
lives near. Mr. Sechlor and his hired
man rushed to the burning building,
but found a hard task beforo them.
The house is a frame one and the
chimney is built from the floor up.
The space down from where the stove
pipe enters was filled with soot, and
it was in this mass that the fire start
ed. It had already communicated to
the woodwork on the interior of the
wall where it seemed almost impossi
ble to reacli it.
What was needed was an abundance
of water,which could bo applied with
out a moment's delay. Fortunately as
is not uncommon at this season there
was an accumulation of water in the
cellar, which, ordinarily is regarded
as a great nusiance, although now it
afforded a means of saving the dwell
ing. All hands fell to work. Bucket
ful after bucketful of water was car
ried up out of the cellar and applied
as best it could bo where the firo was
located. The struggle lasted for two
hours, but the water finally extingu
ished the fire.
Mrs. Sechler and her sistor had a
very narrow escape. Had Mrs. Boud
man not awakened when she did the
fire wonld soon have been beyond con
trol and both women might have lost
their lives with the burning building.

Why Catawissa Was Out Out.
Catawissa was much excited last
week over the announcement that the
Baldwin Locomotivo Works, of Phila
delphia, were considering the advis
ability of removing their casting de
partment to that town. A representa
tive of the company was there and
looked over the ground. The plant
would have required several acres
and would have been located between
Catawissa and the Rupert tower. Af
tor going over the situation very
carefully he found that they could not

men, partly on account of the great
need of men at Berwick.
A Little Girls Odd Accident.
Miss Vanuie, the 11-year-old-danght
er of William Holdren of Kipp's Run,
met with a peculiar accident about 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. She was
crossing tho bridge when she. tripped
and fell on tho sidewalk, breaking her
right arm near the wrist.
She was taken to her home and Dr.
Kimerer was called, who set tho brok
en bone.
A jieouliar circumstance connected
with the accident is that tho same arm
was broken in very nearly the same
place about six weeks ago,which may
aggravate the effect of tho present ac
cident.
What's In a Name?
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazle Salve. E. C De-
Witt & Co. of Chicago, discovered, some
years ago, how to make a salve from
Witch Hazle that is a specific for Piles.
For blind, bleeding, itching, and pro
truding Piles, eczema, cuts, burns,
bruise* and all skin diseases, DeWitt's
salve has no equal. This has giving
rise to numerous worthless counterfeits.

tion :
"The success which the Forestry
Reservation Commission of Pennsyl

"The lack of forest lands is a men
ace to the water supply and greatly
affects the climatic conditions of the
country Every ono is under obliga

work, which benefits not only the
State, but the entire country. Nature
alone cannot repair the injury, but it
is necessary that we join with her in
replacing the forests.

Thrown in a Mill .Race.
William Eckman, who resides on a
farm several miles from Sunbury, had
a thrilling experience while returning
home from Sunbury Friday night that
nearly cost him his life.
Eckman drovo to Sunbury early in
the evoning with a single horse and a
light road cart to attend to some busi
ress. He left for home about half past
eight o'clock. While driving along
the public road near the old creek
bridge, a short distance beyond the
extension of Market street, the small
wooden covering in the road over the
mill race that runs to Haas' flour mill
gave way ana Eckman, the horse and
cart were thrown into the race. The
recent heavy rains had washed away
the ground supporting the wooden
covering and the weight of the horse
caused it togo down.
The mill race swollen by the heavy
rains was about six feet deep and Eck
man had a hard time to save himself
from drowning. Being in the cart
when it went down Eckman was
thrown in such a position that at first
he was unable to release himself, but
after a struggle he managed to get out
aud get the animal up on its feet and
out on the road.
Strang*' to relate neither Mr. Kck
nian or tlie horse received a scratch,
although both had a narrow escape
and an icy bath which was not at all
to their liking.

A party of 1). L. & W. officials, out

TWO ABLE
DISCOURSES
Tho pulpits of each of our Presby
terian churches Sunday were filled
by clergymen from out of town. A
very able sermon was preached at
each place of worship.
Rev. Frank M. Weston of Auburn
Seminary, Auburn, N. Y., preached
at the Grove Presbyterian church. His
morning sermon was founded on
Second John, Second Chapter, sixth
verse: "He that saith He abideth in
Him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked."
The sermon dwelt upon the high
ideal of Christian effort expressed by
the text. To follow Christ is to grow
more like Christ. The spiritual facul
ty grows with its exercise. Christ
was a man, tho 0110 perfect man, ex
posed to the same temptations as we;
lie was weary and hungry; lie had not
even a place to lay Li Lev!, yet he
went about doing good. Man is re
sponsible to tho extent of his ability.
Christ's life fixes a standard to be at
tained by every follower and these are
morally bound to live as Christ would
have lived.
A mistake is sometimes made by a
too literal interpretation of Christ's
examples and his teachings. Thus
many Christians spend time praying
for what would work injury if grant
ed. Others by princely gifts think to
purge tiieir soul of sin. Even the giv
ing of alms, which may encourage
idleness and pauperism, is not always
to be imitated.
Christ came to establish principles,
not rules. The latter become obsolete
and die out. Giving to tin- poor has
come to mean more than tossing a coin
into the outstretched hand. It means
giving self as well.
To follow Christ is to interpret His
life in tlio lifo of today, togo through
the daily routine as he would have
lived it—of not doing one great tiling,
of not doing so many religious acts
but performing all acts religiously. Wo
are to imitate not the miraculous, but
th" moral in Christ. We must live
our lives iu service, for tho lifo lost
in service is saved.
The Rev. D. W. Parks of Liberty,
Ind., occupied the pulpit of the Mah
oning Presbyterian Church. During
the morning ho preached from Heb
rews, Fourth chapter, fifteenth verse:
"For we have not a high Priest which
can not be touched with the feeling of
our infirmities, but was in all points
tempted as wo are, yet was without
Tho sermon was a very masterly
treatment of the text, enlarging in a
very effective way on the four points:
First, We have a high Priest; .second,
lie was in all points tempted like as
we are; third,He can bn touched with
a feeling of our infirmities; fourth,
He was without sin.
PLAIN TALK.
Straight Talk and to the Point—The Vir
tues of Dr. Chase's Ntrve Pills Told in
a Few Words by Danville Citizen
who Knows.
Mrs. Jacob Mills of Cor. Front &
Church street, Danville Pa., says:—
' Last fall I was feeling very poorly and
nervous. I had frequent spells of ner
vous headache and a good deal of
trouble with my stomach. Seeing Dr.
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills recommend
ed I got a box at Gosh's Drug Store and
used them with results. I rested so
much better and felt stronger and
brighter. They certainly did me good
and lean highly recommend them.'

A N» w Industry.
Danville has an opportunity to se
cure a new industry. Our representa
tive. Hon. Alexander Billmeyer, has
called the attention of our local Board
of Trade to the matter with the be
lief that the opportunity is 0110 which
should not bo neglected.
A new invention is just being pat
ented for a carpet- lining, which prom
ises to suporsedo anything along that
lino that has ever been placed before
the people. In Washington a m..v com
pany is being formed for the purpose
of starting plants to manufacture the
carpet lining in different towns and
cities of the country.
The company proposes to furnish
three-fourths of tho capital, tha citiz
ens of the town where they locate to
furnish the balance. It is said that a
small plant can be started for $.">000.
A larger plant will cost more accord
ing to capacity.
Uur Board of Trade will take up the
matter immediately, making a full in
vestigation. They realize that if Dan
ville is to koep pace with its neigh
boring towns it will have to add now
industries. The proposition in tho
present case, which involves only a
limited investment, ought to prove
perfectly feasible. The othor indust
ries recently added, such as the silk
mill aud the knitting mill have prov
en a great boon to our town. Not only
do they afford employment to nn ele
ment in our working population who
might otherwise have to remain idle,
but they have tho merit of making
full time and that, too, whilo other
and larger industries of our town have
been obliged to shut down.

To be Codified.
The chances are very largely in fav
or of the present Legislature enacting
some very good roads legislation.
An indication that the question of
improved roads is taken seriously is
the appointment by Mr. Mayne, of
Chester, of a sub-committee of five,of
which he himself is one, to confer
with a similar sub-committee appoint
ed from the Senate Good Roads com
mittee by its chairman.
Tho purpose of this conference is the
codification of good roads legislation
which lias already been presented and
is now in the hands of tho Senate and
House committees. All of these mea
sures will be carefully considered by
tlie sub-committees and a bill will be
I drafted which will secure the endorse
ment of the rural districts as well as
of the more thickly settled agricultur
al communities.
The House sub-committee is compos
< d of Messrs. Wayne, Ambler, of
Montgomery; Coons, of Bradford,Vas
binder, of Jefferson, and Creasy, of
Columbia.
Mi. Creasy has been busy since the
appointment of the committee annotat
ing the bills on good roads and glean
ing the salient points which will be
embodied in a draft of bis views
which he will present to the sub-com
mittees at their conference this week.
Tho measure which shall be evolved
by tho sub-committees will be present

HIS THIRD
ANNIVERSARY
Rev. Georgo Limbort Sunday ob
served the third anniversary of his in
stallation as pastor of Shiloh R< form
ed church. He preached two practical
sermons relating to the event. Rev.
Limbort has become very popular with ,
his people and ho was greeted both
morning and evening with a eungrcga
tion above tho average in size.
The subject of the morning's di
course was: "Tho Minister's Official
Duties." The remarks were founded
on Acts »i—2 and 1: "It i- not fit that
we should forsake tho Word of God
and serve tables, but w<' will continue
steadfastly in prayer and in the min
istry of tho word".
The sermon brought out the fact
that "Serving tables" has referenci to
the business portion of church work,
which properly belongs to the T:n»y
and for the performance of which
special officers in the church are elect
ed. It deplored tho fact that at the
present day the minister i- too often
asked to "servo tho tables 1 ' or in oth
er words engage in church work.
Tho second half of the dis ;ourse re
lated to the duties which strictly de
volve upon the pastor. ll<- i- to
minister in the word of God : he is to
preach the word: lie is to study the
word; ho is to pray, to j>r. e-ii from
house to house as is unde stool in
making pastoral visitation-.
The subject of Rev. Limbert's 1 veil
ing sermon was: ' The Duths of the
Congregation to tho Pastor." The
text was found in Joshua 1 —10: "And
they answered Joshua saying: All
that Thou hast Commanded us we will
do and whithersoever Thou seiide-t us
we will go."
Joshua at this point in the history of
the wanderings of the Israelites was in
need of encouragement and hen ciev
ed it. This was not only encourage
ment from God, but as shown in the
text encouragement from man, a> fol
lowers.
The position of the pastor is similar
to that of Joshua. He is a leader
chosen of God and man. Like Joshua
he receives encouragement from God,
but ho needs encouragement from his
people as well,for Jesus himself crav
ed human sympathy. True encourage
ment to tho minister comes from the
confidence reposed in him and express
ed by the congregation—confidence in
his leadership, in his instruction, in
his motives. Confidence in tho pastor
is expressed by the willing obedience
of the people, by their regular attend
ance at worship, by an improvement
in their spiritual lives and last but
not least bv being prompt in the pay
ment of his salary.
A FATAL MISTAKE.
Is often made by the Wisest of Danville
People.
It's a fatal mistake to neglect back
ache.
Backache is the first symptom of kid
ney ills.
Serious complications follow.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure them
promptly.
Don't delay until too late.
Until it becomes diabetes Bright s
disease.
Read what a Danville citizen says.
Mr. David B. Jones, job printer,
of 401 Church street, say: Doan's Kid
ney Pills cured me of an enervating
backache and lameness across my kid
neys. I might say I had aching stitches,
jnst ov.tr my hips, and later on I had a
great deal of pain through the top of
my head. Doan's Kidney Pills invigor
ated the kidneys and though I did not
use them a great while, they cure me
and I have had no return of the
trouble since. As a remedy for kidney
afflictions they were so satisfactory in
my case that I am glad to endorse the
claims made for them at all times."

E id of the Freight Congestion.
It was stated Monday that for the
first time since November the Pitts
burg Division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad is entirely cleaned lip, and
that there are now no cars at any of
the terminals or along the line that
are not outside the jurisdiction of the
division authorities. There is some
congestion at the terminals of manu
facturing companies, but with this
the companies themselves must deal,
as the cars await unloading.
On the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie roads tho usual
Sunday "clean up" has resulted in
the disposition of cars that had ac
cumulated at the terminals and on side
tracks, and those lines are also now
comparatively free from congestion.

A (ioiiil Gninr.
Any number of boys and girls may
play this game. It requires no prep
aration, but the wits of the players
must be bright and alert to make it u
success.
The leader asks each player in turn
what he planted in his garden, and the
player may name any article he chwis
es, but the thing that "came up" must
be some plant that has a connection
with the article. The answers cannot,
therefore, always be given instantly,
as a little thought may be necessary
to make the answer good. That, how
ever, will make the game all the more
entertaining.
Here are a few answers that show
how the game should lie played:
"I planted some steps, and they came
up hops."
"I planted a ball, and it came up a
rubber plant."
'"I planted a calendar, and it came
up dates."
"I planted a watch, and it came up
a four o'clock."

The Somalis, a tribe of hunters liv
ing in the eastern part of southern Af
rica, capture the young giraffe by
means of the lasso. Sometimes this is
used from the back of a horse, but
more often the Somalis lie in ambush
for the animals, and then, carefully
waiting for a favorable chance, they
cast the nooses over their heads. The
young creatures are then hobbled so
! that they cannot run or stray f.-.r away
and in a few days become perfectly
tame and docile, though always timid
and shy. They are readily sold to deal
ers in wild animals, always on the
lookout to fultlll commissions from the
owners of some menagerie, circus or
zoological garden.—F. It.

HJttle Boy Blur niul III* Tin Soldier.
He stood on the lid of the nursery stove.
Brave little soldier of lead.
Carelessly left there by Little Boy Blue
As he noisily trudged to bed.
He was dressed in a suit of the brightest
red,
And he wore an expansive smile.
And he thought to himself, with a sol
dier's j>ride,
"They've put me on guard for awhile' '
The lid glowed red from the scorching
heat
Of the terrible flames below.
And the soldier sighed as his coat peeled
ofT.
For he hadn't another, you know'
Then he lost his smile and his eyebrow,
too,
And he thrilled with a vagua dismay
As his gun curled up with the terrible
heat;
Yet he would not run away.
Little Boy Blue when the morning came
Searched for the soldier in red.
But all he found on the nursery stove
Was a shapeless lump of led!
A Buttle V.'il'i a Whale.
Chased by a huge whale, with noth
ing but a pair of oars with which to
defend himself, is the story told by a
i fisherman, I red Campbell of Maina
dieu, Cape Breton. Mr. Campbell went
out in a small boat, lie was not very
far from land when lie noticed a huge
«ea monster approaching him. Not
wishing to encounter it Mr. Campbell
bent himself to the oars and tried to
get in shore before the monster
peached him. The whale gained ou
him, and he sooji recognized that hU
efforts to reach the shore ahead of his
pursuer were futile. His means of de
fense were not of much account, but
he made good use of what was at
hand. The monster opened his jaws
wide and tried to swallow the boat,
man and all. Mr. Campbell reached
over with an oar and for a few min
utes succeeded in keeping the whale
away. When it looked as though
Campbell was doomed, a small boat
hove in sight, and its occupants, no
ticing the man's perilous position,
hastened to his aid. The whale then
disappeared.
