will come to a close ou June Ist. The
High School Commencement will in
all probability take place iu tlie Opera
House on Tuesday eveuing, June 2.
The Senior class this year numbers
sixteen, and is larger than for a num
ber of years past with the exception
of three years ago when it also num
bered sixteen. The members are as
follows: Arthur Campbell, Benjamin
Diseroad, Harry Hooley, Randall
Jacobs, Howard Lunger, George
Maiers, Bert McClure, Samuel Miller,
Edward Schatz, William Watkiu,

The High school will endeavor this
year to carry through commencement
without any outside assistance, which

has been doing exceedingly well; it
has also its own pianist and several
very promising soloists. Music, there
fore, will be a feature of commence
ment, by no means deficient iu either
interest or merit.

Automobile Ean Away.
William K. Lord, one of Mt. Car
mel's leading business men and can
didate for short term of congress in this
district last fall, recently went into
the automobile business and has been
giving the curious residents of Mt.
Carmel some fast rides.
Sunday afternoon he and his family
started up the mountain on their way
to Ashland when the supply of steam
ran out. Mr. Lord applied the reverse
lever and waited for the steam to rise.
As it did so he started out but the re
verse pin dropped out and the machine
began to run backwards at a high rate
of speed, finally running into an em
bankment. His daughter and wife
were slightly injured and the machine
damaged.
Bees 110 (Jause to Rejoice.
According to an analysis of the
strike commission's report made by
Attorney William Wilhelm, of Potts
ville, the well known advocate of lab
orer's interests, the mine workers have
little cause for rejoicing. Mr. Wil
helm says that fully 60 per cent, will
receive no monetary advantage after
April 1, unless the miuers work more
than 9 hours a day or coal selis in ex
cess of #1.50 a ton. Wilhelm says there
are only two classes who get an in
crease of 10 per cent, contract miuers
and pumping engineers. Other engi
neers get 5 per cent, increase.
Gephart-Ung( r.
Miss Mary Linger of South Danville
and Mr. William J. Gephart, of Al
toona, were married in this city yes
terday forenoon. The ceremony was

sylvania train for a trip. Returning
they will take up their residence in
Altoona.
The bride is the daughter of David
Unger and is a most popular and high
ly esteemed young lady of South Dan
ville.
A Thoughtful Man.
M. M. Austin of Winchester, lud.
knew what to do in the hour of need.
His wife had such an unusual ease of
stomach and liver trouble, physicians
could not help her. He thought of
and tried Dr. King's New Life Pills
and she got relief at once and was
finally cured. Only 25c, at Paules &

A NEW PHASE
OF SEWERAGE
3 Isaac Kemble, a civil engineer and
surveyor, of Mt. Carmel, who was in
this city yesterday afternoon looking
over the ground preparatory to mak
ing a bid for the survey of the town
ordered by Council at its last, meet
ing, expressed an opinion based upon
a cursory examination, which adds a
new phase to the sewer problem. Ac
cording to Mr. Kemble's view it is a
grave question whether sewerage in
Danville, owing to the depression ot a
part of its surface, will he found to
he at all feasible.
The engineer upon his arrival was
met by Councilman D. A. Montgom
ery, Chairman of the Streets and
Bridges Committee,at whose direction
he was driven over the town by the
Chief-of-Police.
The object of the visit was to obtain
some idea of the amount of work in
volved in furnishing such a map of
the borough as advertised for.coutain
iug and defining the top grades of all
the streets, alleys, pavements, etc. He
was also familiar with the sewerage
agitation ou foot and the probability
that sooner or later a map of the bor
ough wouid be wanted which would
furuish both top and bottom grades.
So that while satisfying himself dur
ing the drive on points relating to a
top grade he also considered several
facts relating to sewerage. The tour
took in practically the entiro town,
the engineer stopping at the street
corners generally making such observa
tions as he deemed necessary.
Mr. Kemble is a well-known engi
neer. He lias had forty years experi
ence in the business. He will be one
of the bidders for furnishing the bor
ough map containing and defining top
grades.
In regard to a bottom grade the en
gineer says ho is afraid that we are in
precisely the same position as Mt.
Carmel, which is a town of fifteen
thousand inhabitants, and is without
sewerage for the reason that a general
drainage by such means is found im
practicable owing to the position of
the town which lies too low to afford
an outlet.
In the case of Danville, he says, it
seems to him that the outlet would
necessarily strike a level considerably
below high water mark on the North
Branch, and Mahoning Creek, with
the result that with every rise on the
river the water would back up the
sewers as it does on Mahoning Creek
Several other engineers who desire
to present bids have written to the
borough for specifications. Among
the correspondents is an engineer—
John B. Hayes—from a town as far
away as Petersburg, Ya.
ALL WRONG.
The mistake is made by many Danville
Citizen.
Don't mistake the cause of back
ache.
To be cured you must the cause.
It is wrong to imagine relief is cure.
Backache is kidney ache.
You muct cure the kidneys.
A Danville resident tells you how this
can be done.
Mr. John Lewis,puddler of Mill street
says;— *' Iwasnot well for a long time
When working my back became so lame
and pained me so that after getting
home at night I could hardly straighten.
Headaches and weariness disinclined
me for anything and in addition I was
troubled with indigestion. I read
about Doan's Kidney Pills and as my
doctors medicine did me so little good,
I got them and found the most satisfac
tory results from their use. They are
the only remedy which ever gave me
permanent relief."

Reading Reduces Price of Coal
The Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron Co., Monday, through a cir
cular gave official notice of a reduc
tion of fifty cents per ton in prices of
prepared or domestic anthracite coal
lor the month of April. The sizes
effected in the April price list are
broken egg, stove and chestnut. There
will be IK> change in the price of fur
nace and steam sizes, which are large
ly sold under contract.
The company makes the following
reservations —"Orders that are accept
ed will be subject to our ability to
ship during the month of April. All
unfilled April orders will be cancelled
at the end of the month. We will make
every effort to fill orders promptly,but
we shall not bo held responsible for
failure to ship, by reason of suspen
sion of mining, or any cause beyond
our control. The company reserves
the right to change prices at any time
without notice,and orders sent in will
not hind the company until accepted. "
The reduction applies to April only,
as monthly hereafter prices will be ad
vanced ten cents per ton until basic
rates are reached again. The prices
announced are for line anil city trade
free on board at the mines, unless
changed by the company.
Reading officials decline to say what
effect the reduction would have on the
wages of miners.
Easter Novelties are Here
Easter novelties are iu the stores in
great profusion. Dealers who make a
specialty of novelties have many of
the latest displayed and they show
many new features. Some of the roost
ers crow and every one of them has a
different tone, from that of a small
bantam to the hoarse one of a hrahma
There are balls and toy billoons of all
varieties,paper flowers of many kinds,
as well as other novelties. In candies
there are all sorts of things. One
novelty shows Uncle Sam seated
astride of a large rabbit, the latter to
be filled with candy, and there are
eggs of all sorts and patterns. All of
these novelties are very low in price
this year.
Counties to Pay for "Ads.'
The Senate has passed finally the
bill amending th" Brooks High Lic
ense Laws so that the costs of pub

ducted from the fees paid by such ap
plicant.

APRIL TO BE
WARM AND BALMY
An old resident of Montour county,
Friday gave a representative of the
Montour American some points on
weather indications which are pro
duced tor the benefit of our readers.
"March has been a fine month," he
said. "I have never seen the like of it;
but April will be just as nice."
This is a view quito contrary to
what is entertained by most people,
who seem to think that because we
have had April weather in March, we
have March weather still coming and
should not delude ourselves into the
belief that balmy weather is with us
to stay. The gentleman was asked
upon what he based his prediction
that April would be fair.
"Upon the weather today," he re
plied, "which is the last Friday of
the month. The last Friday always
rules the following month and just as
the'weather conditions are today the
prevailing weather will bo during
April. I have never known this to
fail. The last Friday of February
was pleasant aud I said we would
have a mild March and we have had
"Besides," added the man, "there
is nothing unnatural iu the fact that
we should have an early spring; we
had an early winter. Just think of
the good sleighing that we had before
the holidays. When have we experi
euced the like before?"
A great deal has been written about
the weather of late, but the above
embodies some ideas that have not oc
curred to most people. There may be
some wisdom in them or there may
not. At all events it is gratifying to
reflect that the weather yesterday,
which according to the above may
rule April, was warm and balmy aud
all that could be desired in a spring
day.
High School Business Course.
3 That Commerce.aud its handmaiden,
the Press, are the greatest civilizers
of the world, cannot bo gainsaid, but
will bo confirmed by every business
man of our country. That a good
commercial training will prepare any
one to learn the exacting requirements
of business more easily and enable
every youth of our land to more etlec
tively wield the commercial sceptre
of the world, is so self-evident that
none but the grossly ignorant will
deny it.
A department of Commercial Educa
tion in our city high school is very
necessary as it will be found upon ex
amination to embody such training as
most forcibly contributes to genuine
culture, for after all, true culture
consists in that which teaches man to
comprehend self, his relationship to
others, and enables him to contribute
more abundantly to the enjoyment and
comfort of those dependent upon him.
and the human family in general.
A business course in a High School
includes the studies which contribute
most liberally to this end. It is here
that the beauties of literature and the
practical realities of business are un
folded to the embellishment of both.
Of course no school of finance aud
economy can alone make a successful
bosiness man. A medical school alone
cannot make a successful doctor, but
the technical instruction it furnishes
is essential in any state where restric
tive laws are in force for the protec
tion of the people against quackery.
It is in recognition of the impera
tive need for special training that pub
lic schools, colleges and universities
all over tho world are establishing
courses in business, commerce and
finance. In our own city there is al
ways a demand for boys skilled in
office requirements. The business
world needs young men and women
whose business training is comprehen
sive and an education that aims to pro
vide this culture is worthy the careful
consideration of the youth of our land.
COULD NOT SLEEP.
No rest at nights—Nervous Worr ded-
Tired all the Time- The medicine that
never fails.
Mr. J M. Kline of Paxiuos. Pa., savs:
"Last fall I got a box of Dr. A. W.
Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh 'a drug store
Danville, Pa., and had my wife take
them. She had suffered a great deal
from nervousness and sleeplessness and
and nothing seemed to do her much
good. The pills acted like charm sooth
ing and quieting the nerves. Hhe speaks
most highly of tbeni and I have no
hesitancy in recommending them.

A delightful musical was given in
i the Library rooms last Thursday even
| ing by the Five E's, composed of
Ethel Creasy, Elsie Yorks, Eleanor
Welsh, Ethel Bierinan and Emaline
Eshelman, for the benefit of the Pub
lic Library. The audience was an ap
preciative one and each number of the
program was warmly received. Tho
Five E's were attired in white and
made a very pretty appearance. The
first chorus was "Little Fairies," by
the Five E's, and they gave as their
encore, "Tick, Tuck, Tick."
The net proceeds of the evening
were $40.00, the money to lie applied
to the Children's department of the
Library.—Blooinsburg Columbian.
It is probable that tin* Five E's will
soon give their entertainment in Dan

PURCHASED
X-RAY MACHINE
Dr. Hfenry Bierman Saturday be
came the purchaser of the static and
X-ray electrical machine, which has
been on exhibition for some time past
in the I. K. Miller store room on West
Main street, the sale having been con
summated by W. E. Lewis, represent
ing the Van Houten & Ten Broeck
Company, of New York, the manufac
turers of the apparatus. The machine
has since been installed in the doctor's
office on West Fourth street, where it
attracts the attention and admiration
of all who see it, and particularly of
those who realize the important posi
tion it occupies in the field of medi
cine and surgery. The invention is
one of the marvels of the age, and it
is not only destined to play a promi
nent part in medicine and surgery,but
it will tend, in a very great measure,
to revolutionize many of the methods
now in vogue iu the treatment of dis
ease, inasmuch as by its use the doctor
will be enabled to locate foreign sub
stances in any part of the body, and
therefore, makes possible their extrac
tion by surgery. It can also be used
to determine fractures, for it will be
possible to see the broken bone by its
aid. The X-ray will also enable the
doctor to determine the presence of
cancerous or other foreign growths in
the body, and it is an acknowledged
fact among the most eminent physici
ans that the X-rays themselves con
stitute a positive cure for cancer, and
especially superficial ones. In con
sumption or tuberculosis of the lungs,
the diseased portions may be readily
seen, and reports of the use of X-rays
in the treatment of this disease give
us a right to believe that in this also
it is a positive cure. Previous to the
u»e of X-rays varicose ulcers have
been regarded as being almost incur
able, but they yield readily to the
treatment in conjunction with the
static current. It is also an excellent
cure for rheumatism in its various
forms, neuralgia,nervousness,sciatica,
insomnia, etc.
The machine is one of the finest
manufactured,and the X-rays given by
it are pronounced by Dr. Bierman to
be the most satisfactory he has ever
seen. It will now bo utilized by the
doctor in his own practice as well as
in doing work for other physicians,
making skiagraphs (X-ray pictures)
and treating patients.
Tiie machine is the only one of its
kind in this section, and our people
are fortunate in having access to one
so near at hand. There is no danger
attendant upon the application of X
ravs; on the contrary, the effects pro
duced upon the system are soothing
and likewise beneficial, while relief is
afforded the patient almost instantan
eously. —Bloomshurg Daily.
Dr. Bierman formerly resided in
Danville.

Birthday Surprise Party.
Mrs. Ellen Hendricks was pleasant
ly surprised by a number of friends at
her home near Mausdale, Saturday
evening iu honor of her seventy-eighth
birthday. A fine dinner was served
and Mrs. Hendricks received many
useful presents. Those present were:
John Hendricks, Rev. C. D. Lercli,
Mrs. J. A. Merrell, Mrs. Simon Mos
er, Mrs. Ilort, Mrs. Alhinus Snyder,
Mrs. William Campbell, Mrs. Frank

Pay Was Laid Aside,
All the anthracite coal carrying com
panies had prepared for the wage ad
vance recommended by the Coal Strike
Commission. They set aside each
month after miuing operations were
resumed, a certain sum for a "rainy
day." This emergency has come, aud
the companies are prepared to meet it.
The New York roads pursued a
similar plan. The President of ono of
these roads is quoted as saying that
the back pay which the miners wore
to receive, on the basis of the 10 per
cent, granted by the Strike Arbitration
Commission, would not be assessed
against the operating expenses of the
current month, as some had supposed.
He said his company, and he under
stood all the other companies, had in
November last begun to set aside a
fund which would fully cover the 10
per cent, increase iu wages, which
was to start with that month, if
allowed by the Commission.
"In other words," he said, "the ad
ditional expense in operations had al
ready been apportioned among the five
months during which period the men
are entitled to the increase. The net
earnings of the several companies will
not be any smaller for the months
elapsed since November because of this
precautionary allowance."

A MURDER
MOST FOUL
Another murder has been added to
the already heavy list|in Northumber
land countj-, when at eleven o'clock
Sunday morning, Jacob Rusho, aged
25 years, of Mt. Carinel, fliod at the
Miners' Hospital at Ashland, from
being shot in the neck by Lewis
Pfromm, Jr., aged 25 years, also of
Mt. Carmel.
The murder was the result of a
drunken brawl which started in a Mt.
Carmel saloon on Locust street. On
Saturday evening Jacob Rusho, L- wis
Pfromm, Jr., William Swift, Lewis
Pfromm, Sr., Michael Burns and
"Skeese" Gehres, all Germans, met
in the saloon, and after considerable
drinking, an argument started as to
who had the "skinniest" dog iu the
town. As the argument was contin
ued the men grew more angry and
about 10:30 o'clock Pfromm, Sr., and
Swift left the crowd and went to
Pfromm's home. About 11 o'clock
Lewis Pfrouim, Jr., also left, saying
that he would go home and secure teu
dollars and then return.
When Prfomm Jr., arrived at home
he asked his mother for his revolver
and, noticing that he was under the
influence of liquor, she told him that
it had been thrown away. Not be
lieving hor, he asked his sister, Rose,
to get it for him and she complied
with his request.
Pfromm walked a short distance
from the house.in the direction of th
saloon, anil found his companions
whom lie had left in the saloon wait
ing for him on a near by porch. When
he came up to them he asked where
Rusho was. Rusho arose and said,
"Here I am; what do you want?"
Pfromm leveled the revolver at him,
hut before he could pull the trigger.
Swift arrived on a run and, with an
oath, struck Rusho in the face, fell
ing him to the ground. When Rusho
rose to his feet he was knocked down
a second and a third time and when
he arose the third time, Pfromm put
the revolver close to his neck and shot
him, the bullet shattering the larnyx.
Following the shooting, the crowd
hastily dispersed, Pfionnn going to
his home and Rusho, who was badly
wouuded, with blood streaming from
his wound, was able to walk to his
home about three squares away.
When he entered the house and told
his father what had happened, his
father, noticing his serious condition,
summoned a physician and also sent
for the Chief of Police. When the
physician arrived he found that
Rusho's condition was very critical
and at 3 o'clock, Sunday morning he
was taken to the hospital, where he
died at about 11 o'clock, while the
doctors were performing an operation
and placing a silver tube in his throat
to aid him in breathing.
When Rusho was taken to the hos
pital Chief of Police Morgan went to
the home of Pfromm, who answered
his knock at the door aud gave him
self up, also handing the officer his
revolver. In giving himself up Pfromm
told the officer that his intentions
were to commit suicide and that he
was sorry now that he had not done
so. When it was found what part
Swift had taken in the shooting he
was also placed under arrest and when
taken before Justice of the Peace
Armour both men were committed to
the county prison without bail, to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
The prisoners were brought to Sun
bury Sunday evening.
Rusho, the murdered man, is mar
ried and is survived by his wife aud a
ton month's old child.

and LaGrippe because it does not pass
immediately into the stomach, but
takes effect right at the seat of the

Narrow Escape.
With the Hazleton flyer bearing
down upou him at the speed of twenty
five miles an hour, John Nuss, who
lives back of Nescopeck, had a mirac
ulous escapo from death near Evans'
mill at Nescopeck Monday.
Nuss had driven on the track at a
point where a curve aud a mass of
rock hid the view of the track. Just
as the buggy was upon the Hack the
flyer loomed up in front of him. Quick
as a flash he pulled the horse back,and
the traiu struck the front leg of the
horse. Horse, buggy and driver were
thrown over into the gutter, but the
buggy was uninjured and Nuss mir&»
culously escaped without any bruises.
As men rushed to his aid he was,how
ever, a much scared man. Had he
been a second sooner his life would
have been snuffed out.
The horse's leg was broken aud after
Dr. Coble had made an examination it
was fouud necessary to shoot the un
fortunate animal in order to end its
sufferings. The accident, it is stated,
occurred through no fault of the traiu
men,inasmuch as those who were near
the scene of the accident distinctly
heard the trainmen give the two neces
sary whistles. All in all, it was a nar
row escape and a frightful reminder
of the danger of grade crossings.

HUGHESVILLE,ApriI I.—The ten
ant house of Mrs. Elizabeth Fague,
about a half mile east of this place,
was consumed by fire early this morn
ing. It was occupied by a young man
named Hauke, and his wife aud two
children. The house, which was a
very old one, was built of soft wood,
principally pine, which burned rapid
ly. The fire is thought to have origin
ated from a defective flue, although
Mr. Hauke says he is positive there
bad been no fire in the kitchen stove
since supper time. Had it not been
for the baby, it is likely that the en
tire family would have been burned
to death. The baby became restless,
and cried for milk. Mr. Hauke got up
to fill the bottle, when he discovered
that the whole end of the house was
in flames.

Moreover it has proven a vacation sea

the delegates. The program this year
will include a series of "Group Stud

For liver troubles uud constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Karly Risers, the famous
little pills
They always effect a cure and save
doctor bills
Little Early Risers are different from
all other pills. They do not weaken
the system, but act as a tonic to the
tissues by aronsiug the secretions and
restoring the liver to the full perfor
mance of its functions naturally.

Robbed The Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philaelphia,as follows
"I was in an awful condition. My
skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken,
tongue coated, pain continually in
back and sides, uo appetite, growing
weaker day by day. Thrte physic
ians had given me up. Then I was
advised to use Electric Bitters; to my
great joy, the first bottle made a de
cided improvement. I continue ! their
use for three weeks, and am now a
well man. I know they robbed the
grave of another victim." No one
should fail to try them. Only 50 cents
guaranteed, at Paules & Co.'s
