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.

A DANVILLE
YOUNG MAN
John E. 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

Early Strawberries a failure.
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. For sale by Panles & Co.

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.

GREATLY ALARMED.
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."

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.
Let me say 1 have used Ely's Cream
Balm for catarrh and can thoroughly
recommend it for what it claims. Very
truly, (Rev.) H. W. Hathaway, Eliza
beth, N. J.
I Tried Ely's Cream Balm and to all
appearances am cured of catarrh. The
terrible headaches from which I loug
suffered are gone.—W. .1. Hitchcock,

GOVERNOR SICK
NEW RILLOT BILL
Governor Peniiypaeker signed the !
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.
The published statement of some
stranger residing in a faraway place
may be true enough, but it i- general
ly accepted as a doubtful rumor. How
can it be verified! The testimony
which follows is convincing proof be
-1 cause it comes from a resident of Dan
ville.
.Mrs. Nelson Mollister of till Mill
! street, says:—"My son John was al
ways troubled with his kidneys, and I
was told by one doctor when we lived
in Lewisburg that lie would "always
! have bother with them. He had pains
in his back, could not sleep and the
kidney secretions were annoying and
embarassing. There were pains in
; his head and he was depressed and
| dead tired the whole time. Dean's
i Kidney PilN reilcved him of the
i whole trouble. My husband used some

Eels For Everybody.
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

HORATIO N. 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

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. The money wa
raised by subscription, Jacob Corueli
sou being the prime mover in the proj
ect. Two others who assisted ti
solicit subscriptions were Dr. Magil
and Judge Cooper.
A 'Startling Test.
To save a life. Dr. T. G. Merritt, c
Mehoopatiy, Pa., made a startling tes
resulting in a wonderful cure. H
writes "a patient was attacked wit
violent hemorrhages,caused by ulcera
tion of the stomach. I had often foun
Electric Bitters excellent for actut
stomach and liver troubles so I pre
scribed them. The patient gained frot
the first, and has not had an attack 11
14 months." Electric Bitters ar
positively guaranteed for Dyspepsia
Indigestion, Constipation and Kidue;
troubles. Try them. Only 50c. a

Recent experiments, by practical test
aud examination with the aid of th
X-Ravs, establish it as a fact tha

And with this life we are through

The Wastes of the Body.
Every seven days the blood, mn*cles
and bones of a man ot av. rage si/,
loses two pounds of wornont tissue.
This waste cannot be repleni-le d and
the health and strength kept up with
out perfect digestion. When the stom
ach ar.d digestive organs fail to per
form their functions, the strength lets
down, health gives way, and disi ase
sets up, Kodol Dyspepsia Cure enables
the stomach and digestive organs to
digest and assimilate all of tho whole
some food that may he eaten into tie
kind of blood that rebuilds the ti--m -
and protects the health and sti . ngth
of the mind and body. Kodol cur»-
Indigestion, Dvsp 'psia and all »t rnacli
