BAY BEGIN IN WO WEEKS From present appearances if would seem that it may bo bat a compara tively short time before at least a por tion of our town will have the benefit of sewerage. Now that a resolution has been adopted authorizing the con struction of a sewer, Council has de cided to lose no time in entering upon the work. All preparation lias been left in the hands of the Committee on Streets and Bridges and if necessary special meetings of Council will he ; called from time to time to take ac tion on matters that might otherwise cause delay. Several members of the Committee on Streets and Bridges wore inter- ! viewed yesterday, who stated that actual work on the sewer might begin in two weeks' time—certainly yet during the present month. While the Finance Committee is negotiating for a loan of $30,000 to cover the ex penditure the other committee will at teud to the matter of survey and look after the purchase of materials. There are several points relating to the work that have not as yet been decided, which will afford Council plenty of food for thought and discuss ion. An importaut question to he decided is which would he the most advantageous for tlie Borough—to let the work out by contract or to con struct the sewer itself placing the work under the supervision of the Sup erintendent of the Water Works and the Street Commissioner. A majority of the members probably favor the latter plan, as both of the officials named, they claim, are skilled and practical men accustomed to handling woikmen. One of the first things to be attend ed to will be the survey. This is not as big a proposition as it might seem, as the intention is not to cover the whole borough at present hut merely to get a survey relating to Blizzard's run. Provision will be made only for domestic sewerage, as the intention is not to take in cellar or surface sewer age. No more Returned Copies. The owners of the five daily papers in Philadelphia have been getting to gether on the business end and now there is a close trust between them. In the future there will be less waste. Beginning this week news agents in all the towns in this and adjoining states will not be allowed to make any returns of unsold copies. Every copy consigned to them will have to be paid for. This will probably cut down the. street sales, as the agents will not take the risk of ordering a lot of pap ers and take chances of the boys dis posing of them. It will also have tho effect of increasing the number of re gular customers. It is said the pub lishers were forced to take this step owing to the heavy loses incurred up on unsold papers, especially the Sun day editions. Every unsold copy of the edition represented one cent to the publishers. Preventing Strikes. The Chicago Federation of labor has put an end to hasty strikes by de ciding to make its executive board a mediator in all disputes and that all affiliated locals shall submit their troubles to this board for adjustment. This plan could be adopted elsewhere with profit to employe and employer. There is no doubt that many strikes could be avoided by both parties to them if the principles could be induced to cjme together and temperately con sider the matters in dispute. A strike means a loss to both parties and re sumption of work after a strike is not accompanied by the same friendly feeling that marked the relations of employe and employer before the strike. Mediation or arbitration is fast be coming the true adjuster of all labor difficulties. The example set in the adjustment of the anthracite strike is too important to be ignored by either party to a labor dispute. Peace should reign in the world of industry, and mediation assures peace. Drills Twice Weekly. Colonel Clement is determined to in crease the attendance at drills of the various companies in his Regiment and has issued an order that drills will be held twice a week until after the coming inspection. All absentees will bo reported to Headquarters immediately after e teli drill. He considers this inspection the most important the guard has ever had and they must attend drill or be punished accordingly. The arrest and incarceration of several members of one of the Williamsport companies has had a very wholesome effect and absentees at drill are a rare occur rence in the Second Battalion.

Miles, son of our townsman Frank lift* Miles, on Monday will | graduate at MoMasters University, j Toronto, Canada. The institution named is a Baptist one and the com | pletion of his four years' course there i starts Mr. Miles out on a carter as a iniiiisti'r of that church. It will no doubt be the beginning of a very remarkable career, as John lias already achieved distinction in one profession. Talented, quick and versa tile and gifted with any amount of j energy and ambition he is likely to force success in any line of effort up on which he may enter. Our citizens knew Mr. Miles best as the romantic young actor when he played with such theatrical stars as Cora Van Tassel and Alexander Sal vini, or later when he headed the Miles' Ideals, a repertoire company of merit under the management of his father. They were flattered by the plaudits won by tl • early efforts of our young townsman and they learned to guage his ability by the full meas ure of success ho scored. John E. Miles was not destined to bo an actor. Fate was to lead him along a widely divergent path. From his earliest boyhood it was his ambi tion to be a minister of the gospel. 80 that while apparently a devotee to the ' thespiau art and his talents and his working hours were given to that profession yet ho was dreaming of a i career in the ministry and all his spare ! hours were devoted to studies that would lit him for such a profession. And now* he has won out. Intensely religious by nature, kind,humane and affectionate, with his capacity for 1 work, his zeal and ability who can measure all the good involved in the ! mission that lies before this young | man? Already, we are informed lie ' has established a reputation as a pul pit orator and a zealous aggressive preacher. Already he is in demand and a field for his labor is assured. Mr. Miles graduates with honors. His mother, Mrs. Frank Lee Miles, of this city will be present at McMaster's University when he graduates. When the Nerves Are Shattered. When the nerves are shattered one cannot think, work, eat, sleep or ac complish anything. It's a case of force all the time—a continued effort to keep going—llo life —no energy—no ambition—upset at anything—nervous headaches—crying spells—fits of depression and utter de | poudency. Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve J Pills cure this condition to stay cured by rebuilding the shattered nervous system—nourishing the nerve centers and resupplying what is lacking—the active principle ot lite—Nerve Force. Mr. J. M. Kline of Paxinos, Pa., says:—"Last fall I got a box of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills at Gosh's Drug Store, Danville, Pa.,and had my wife use them. She had suffered a great deal from shattered nerves and sleeplessness and nothing seemed to do her much good. The Pills acted like a charm —soothing and quieting the nerves—giving restful sleep and good general strength. She speaks most highly of them and I have no hesita tion in recommending them." 50c. a box at dealers or Dr. A. W." Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. See that portrait and signature of A. W.

A prominent gardener who attends our curb-stone market is authority for the statement that the crop of early strawberries was ruined hy the cold weather on Friday night. Mercury went down below the freez ing point. There was a heavy frost, while ice formed on water whore it had been left exposed i u buckets. Not only strawberries but other kinds of truck easily injured by freezing were blighted by the frost. Strawberries where the buds had not yet opened, it is thought, may have escaped, so that there are still prospects of a partial crop. The late strawberries of course had not reached a stage of develop ment when injury was likely to en sue from freezing. Several varieties of fruit such as peaches and cherries are believed to have been much injured by the cold snap. Too Great a Risk. In almost every neighborhood some one has died from an attack of colic or cholera morbus, often before medicine could he procured or a physician sum moned. A reliable remedy for these diseases should be kept at hand. The risk is to Kreat for anyone to take. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dia rrhoea Remedy has uudoubtely saved the lives of more people and relieved more pain and suffering than any other medicine in nse. It can always be de peuded upon.

False Alarm Ends Parade. .Tust as the combined Berwick and Bloomshurg tire departments were marching in parade, Saturday night, in honor of the Reliance Company's fair and festival, at Berwick, the fire alarm sounded and in an instant fire men and a crowd that packed tin* streets rushed to the scene of the sup posed fire. And great was the indigna tion when it was again found to be a false alarm. NATIONAL GUARD AND ITS DOINGS Colonel Clement has issued tin* fol low iug regimental order relative to the inspection of theJTwelfth regiment by the regular army officer detailed for that purpose: DATES OF INSPECTION.

By a Persistent Cough, but Permanently Oured by Chamberlain's Ooagh Remedy. Mr. H. P. Burbage, a student at law, in Greenville, S. C., had been troubled for four or five years with a continous congh which he says, "greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was in the first stage of consumption." Mr. Bur bage, having seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. Now read what helms to say of it:"I soon felt a remarkable change and after using two bottles of the twentv-five cent *ize, was permanently cured." Sold by Paules A: Co. Druggists. 342 Mill street. Many Benefits. The benefits that will accrue to the farmers of Pennsylvania from the good roads bill ought to be many.especially after it has been in operation long enough to make a respectable showing iu the condition of the roads. During the muddy seasons of the year farms that are located even three or four miles from a railroad are, for the time being, practically outside of the reg ular current of business, for where light wagons sink almost huh deep in the mud it is impossible to do any heavy teaming,and there occurs a con sequent stagnation in business. Un fortunately for him this stagnation mav come just when it is to the farm er's interest to reach the market. There may be a demand for his pro ducts which he has held for high prices, and yet lie cannot take advau tage of the demand,for the had road is in his way. The road made impassa ble, or nearly so, perhaps, by a few days' rain puts him on an equality with the farmer 40 miles from a rail way, whereas good roads would enable him to take advantage of uttusu:tl de mands, of high prices, and reap the benefits.

Foci it Ballot hill Friday. This iw as- ' are was drafted by ;i committee ap- I pointedjjjhy Senator Qua}* as eiiairmau ! of the Republican Stall' Committed, ' and Is an amendment to several sec- 1 tions of the Baker Ballot law. The j reason a complete new bill was not ! introduced was because the several sections which would be re-enacted had been passed on by the courts, and there was a desire to avoid uimoces- ; sary changes in the law. The Focht bill reduces the ballot to i about one-third of the size under the I Baker law. Party columns are abol- | ishe.d. The names of candidates are | jirinted under the title of the offices for which they have been nominated, except Presidential Electors, which will appear in party groups. Names ! of a candidate will be printed only once, with the titles of the party or parties which nominated him along side. The party circles at the head of the j -columns have been eliminated, but ; party squares take their place. These J squares are arranged on the left hand i side of the ballot, arranged in the : order of the parties polling the largest vote at the preceding election The voter desiring to vote a straight party ticket, places a cross in the square he selects, and a vote is count ed for each candidate of that party. To the right of the names of the can didates are squares for so pat ate marks if the voter desires to vote a split ticket. If the candidate is the nominee of more than one party, there is a square for each party alongside his name, so the votes for each party may be separated when the ballots are counted. When the bill was introduced it con tained a provision giving a voter an opportunity after marking a cross in a party square, to vote for one or more candidates of another party, and requiring the election officers to count these votes. This provision was eliminated from tin* bill before it reached the Governor. Over the top of the ballot will be printed instructions how to cast a straight party vote and I ow to mark a mixed ballot. DOUBTFUL RUMORS. And Will Stores of Da»ville People Ac cept them as Facts.

After many efforts the signature of the Governor has been secured to a bill allowing the catching of eels by use of basket and wing walls in the waters of the Commonwealth. This privilege ha* been long sought by the fishermen of the State through their representative s at Harrisburc. Several times bills similar to the one last signed have passed, but were regular ly vetoed by the Governor. It svas something of a job to each time convince the legislators that in taking eels by basket you do not dt s troy by wholesale young game fish. But the fishermen knew their ground and kept plugging awav until they have secured the privilege under law to gather in by the wagon load the thousands of tons of eels which every fall migrate to salt waters. The bill under which this may now he done was introduced and pressed to final and successful issue by Senator Focht, of Lewisburg. Several times before he made hard battles for his fishermen friends but until now had the too overwhelming prejudice against the fish basket to combat. It was then fore a long, hard battle but just the same a successful one. Convention of Royal Arcanum. Much interest is centered in the bi ennial convention of the State Royal Arcanum which will be held at Wilkes barre on the Ktth, lit It and I.lth of the present mouth in the Shriners hall, and the members of the VVilkesharre councils are making elaborate prepara tions for the entertainment of the vis itors.

DAY, Secretary. THE CASE OF HARVEY RHODES Harvey Rhodes of this city lias rt;- turned from tin; University 1 lo.s]iitul, Philadelphia, where lie was under treatment tor ft months and 2 weeks for a very serious burn on Ins foot which refused for a longtime to yield to treatment and threatened to neces sitate amputation. The case was a re markahle one, resulting in what is practically a cure after four years of uncertainty and suffering. The accident happened while the Bessemer blast furnace was in opera tion. Mr. Rhodes, who was engaged in hauling out the cinder, accidental ly stepped into a red hot and molten cinder tap. The injury was a shock ing one; ail the soft tissue of the foot except the tendons was burned off. The local physicians did all they could for him. Year after year passed and the terrible injury refused to yield to treatment, the man's suffering meanwhile being most excruciating. During the winter of 11(01 Mr. Rhodes was under treatment, in the Mary M. Packer Hospital, but he returned home uncured. Last August Dr. Wintersteen sug gested that he goto tlie University Hospital at Philadelphia. The case had then reached such a stage that it was a question whether even with the pres* nt methods of skin grafting etc., there was any remedy short of amputation. At the University Hospital he was under the treatment of Dr. Martin. As the result of the treatment, which included skin grafting,new tissue was formed ou the foot from the tendons up. All pain has passed away—and the healiug is practically complete. It is st ill a delicate case and nothing hut the utmost care on the part of the patient in heeding advice will iusure a permanent recovery. He was assurer! however, by the surgeon in charge upon leaving the Hospital that if he exercised proper care he would have full use of his foot. A New Rifle. In view of the proposed equipment of the National Guard with the pres ent army ritle, it is of special interest to note that a better xiflu than the oue now iu use by the regular army has been found, and will be issued instead of the Krag-Jorgeusen. It is argued that if the regulars are to have a different weapon the guardsmen should wait until they too, can have it., in stead ol taking up the "Itrag" only io throw it aside in a comparatively brief tini'\ An exhaustive series of tests have convinced the military authorities that a better ritle has been devised, ami that it will soon In- issued to the reg ulars. It, is asserted that it is a pound or more liahter than the Krag-Jorg ensen, and that it has been found thai it does saporior work with a barrel of only twenty-four inches i:i length in place of the thirty-inch barrel whicl: has heretofore been used. The point is made that its adoption would en ahle tie* cavalry and infantry to em ploy tin' same arm, thus doing awaj with the carbine which has boen t distinctive feature of the mounted soldier's outfit for so many years Af it has been shown that the days of cavalry charges in the open are practi cally over and that the cavalrymei must hereafter rely chiefly on firearm in place of the s"ini-obselote sabre,tin advantage of having both branches ol the service equipped with the sarin rifle is evident. A Sure Thing. It is said that nothing is sure excep death and taxes, but that is not alto gether true. Dr. King's New Discov cry for Consupmtion is a sure cure foi all throat and lung troubles. Thous ands can testify to that. Mrs. C. 13 Van Metre of Shepherdtown, VV. Va., says"l had a severe case of Bronchitii and for a yer tried everything 1 heart of, but got no relief.

MAHONING TOWN CLOCK The towu clock on the Mahoning Presbyterian cliurcli, wliicli lias prov eu somewhat unreliable of late yester day gave up the straggle and stopper short at twenty minutes before ; o'clock. The erratic movements of the old clock had caused a great deal of in convenience about towu during tlit last few days. Several persons wht arrived at the station too late fur tin train laid the blame on the old clock Others on their way to their meal: who were led to believe that they bar pleuty of time on their hands loitere< too long on the street and arrivci home afer the dinner hour. Edward Lunger, janitor of tin church,who winds the clock and looks after it in other ways, last evening said that it has being doing badly ever since the wind storm Thursday nighi and it was his opinion that the steeplt had received a severe shaking up ii the wind with the result that a coj. had slipped somewhere. At all events it was a matter for in vestigation and the janitor accompani ed by a News reporter climbed up in to the steeple to see what was tlx matter. Mr. Lunger was right in hi; conjecture. The rope which carries the two-hundred pound clock weigh had slipped out of the groove of oui of the pulleys. The rope was placed in position the clock was set at the right lioui after which the ponderous mechanism was set in motion. There seemed t( be nothing else wrong and the bij pendulum swung backwards and for wards with its accustomed regularity while the clock above measured ott the seconds with its same solemn anil monotonous tick. The old clock was placed in tin tower in 1854, nearly fifty years ago. Many persons are of the opinion tha as a result of its long service it i nearly worn out and cannot be relie< upon much longer. In this they an mistaken. The clock is still a splen did piece of mechanism. Clock ex perts who have examined it and havi made repairs upon it state that witl proper care and careful winding i ought to keep good time for anotliei fifty years. The clock was manufactured am placed in position by Jacob D. Custei of Norristown. Custer was a man o inventive turn, a very skilful me chauic and his clocks had a reputatioi that excelled all others. There are still a good many peopl in towu who remember when th clock was installed in the steeple o the then new Mahoning Preshyteriat church. It cost S3OO.
