A Chicago man has observed that, "Good deeds are better than real estate deeds—some of the latter are worthless. Act kindly aud gently, show sympathy and lend a helping hand. You cauuot possibly lose by it" Most men appreciate a kind word aud encouragement more than substantial help. There are persons in this com munity who might truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer up.

THE OLD RIVER ROAD The case agaiust Anthony Dielil,Sup ervisor of Mahoning township,involv ing the old river road Tuesday morn- i ing was continued until the next term of court. The grand jury found a true hill, the charge agaiust the supervisor be mg maintaining a nuisance by failing to repair the road so as to make it passable. The District Attorney in sisted that the case be brought to trial, but James Scarlet, Esq., at torney lor the defendant, asked far a continuance in order to afford time for the defense to make a resurvey ot the road. Mr. Scarlet held that the road for which the Supervisor stands indicted does not exist and has not for forty years. Therefore in the pre mises it ceases to be a question of re pair but of relocation and the Super visor is uot guilty of negligence. The court granted continuance of the case. Among some old documents relating to the river road which have just come to light is oue in the possession of County Surveyor George W. West, to which unusual interest attaches. It is the order of view for the old road and was issued in Northumberland county August, "On petition the Court appoint Jacob Gearhart, John Kerr, William Colt, Thomas Gaskius, James Snuon. and William Montgomery, Esq., to view aud lay out a public road on the river bank, where a bridge has been thrown across Mahoning creek and vacate two miles and a half and quar ter of the old road beginning at the bridge on William Montgomery's mill race and downwards to Northumber land. J. EWING, Clerk." The old document, which is in a most excellent state of preservation, contains field notes and draught, which makes it invaluable. It shows that through the encroachment of the river upon the bank the road as originally laid out lies from eighteen to twenty rods out in the channel. The present bridge at the Creek's mouth is the third one in the history of the road, the original ouo standing some two hundred feet out in the river, where its foundations may still be seen dnr ing low water. CASE AFTER CASE. Plenty More Like This in Danville. Scores of Danville people can tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a happy citizen makes a public state ment of his experience.

Any little excitement, no matter what, business or social,brings them on. The feet and hands grow cold, the head is hot, the eyes stiff, the temples throb, and only in the quiet of a darkened room is relief ob tained. This condition must be check ed or it means complete mental ruin. To those people Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills come as a blessing. They do not stop, they cure the headaches. They do not blanket, they build up. They put the nervous system in a stiong, vigorous, sturdy condition—a condition that gives one resistive pow er and enables them to again enjoy life's pleasures.

Railway, who is sojourning in this city during court, was former ly a cow hoy of note ill the West. For seven years lie horded cattle and in that period of Ins life was crowded enough haul work and adventure to till a large volume. Something more than the routine of the cowboy's life, however, fell to his lot,for lie had the honor of living with President Rouse- | velt for a year and of giving him hi tirst lessons in rough riding anil cattle herd i nt?. Mr. Simmers, who is a brother ol Pure Food Agent Robert Sininiers,was horn at Phoenixvi lie and is a man of about middle life. When a young fel low lie drifted to the plains. He has herded cattle all the way from Gal veston, Texas, to the Milk river in . Montana. It is his boast that he has swum every river flowing into the (iulf of Mexico and ' Very tributary of the Mississippi. In lssr» he was made foreman ot the Numelia Cattle Ranch sixty miles south of Medora on the Little Missouri liver, which was owned by a syndicate of wealthy Englishmen, among whom were Sir James Pender, Lnrd Alex ander North and Andrew Lang, the author. It was while as foreman here that ho became acquainted with Roose velt. and no part of his experiences on the plains are more interesting than those which relate to the future President of the United States. It was near the Black Hills at the mouth of the Pig Pox Elder that he first met Roosevelt. It was in ]SS."> aud our President was then a young man of some twenty-four years. He went to Simmers and introduced him self, explaining the object of his visit, which was to gather material for "Winning the West," and some other works which lie contemplated writing. He staid at the Numelia ranch for one year. "Toddy" was "strenuous" even then. He believed the way to learn how to do a thing was by doing it. No risk was too dating, no hardship too great for him. It is very interesting to hear Mr. Simmers tell of his exploits. Wheth er "rounding up," "cutting out," "branding," or "roping" Roosevelt was right theie with the cowboys, taking Ins share of the work, shirking at 110 time. He saddled and bed his own horse and in the roundup sought the outer circle where the opportuni ties for adventure and to display skill Were tin- greatest. Mr. Simmers took great interest in his pupil from the East, although at that time he was in a manner unknown to fame. Roosevelt reciprocated and in one of his publish ed works alludes to Mr. Simmers as the "Versatile Cow Boy." The latter epithet is well earned by Mr. Simmers, as in addition to bis career as a cowboy ho makes a fiist class detective and is also a writer. A manuscript of his relating to Roose velt when living on the plains has been accepted by Pearson's magazine ami will appear in the near future. At the end of a year Roos"Ve!t estab lished a couple of granges ot his own His innate love of law and order soon asserted itself, however. Heci'led a meeting of the oilizeus ami proposed that a county he organized. This was finally accomplished, although there were harolv vot« rs enough available to fill the offices. Mr. Simmers was elected Judge ot the Probate Court, a purely honorary position. Roosevelt, himclf,declined to share in any of the honors Ooufesaionof a Priest. Rev. Jno. S.

JTfflfpAOl'll Mrs. May Leonard Woodruff, Gen ;ral organizer of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, addressed a large tongregation morning and evening at St. Paul's M K. church Sunday. Her morning address was on the general work of tlm Society, which i-, unbraced under several heads as fid lows: First, the Freodmon of the South; second, the Poor Whites of the S<inth ; third, the Indians at the Sev eral Reservations; fourth,the Inhabit ants of Alaska. Slut also spoke on the Bureau of Immigration maintained by the society and the Bureau of Sup plies for Frontier Preachers and their families. Moth addresses were full of interest. Mrs. Woodruff, who has recently re turned from Porto Hico, last evening spoke on the religious conditions and the work of the Woman's Home Mis sionary Society on that islaud. She gave a history of the Island of Porto Rico, its discovery and dimen sions, as well as an outline of its ec clesiastical system. Being under the htars and stripes it is a Home Mission ary territory now. She took up the subject of child life, touching upon the public school sys tem. Parochial schools, she said, are not so well patronized as formerly and the people are adjusting themselves quickly to our publio school system, the latter schools as a rule being crowded. The Deaconesses of the Methodist Episcopal church are the trained nurses of the Islaud. They devote themselves especially to the unfor tunate among children, girls and wo men. Mrs. Woodruff emphasizes the fact that the deaconesses are given practically the right of way in the cities of Porto Hico and that the muni cipal authorities recognize them and give them the same privileges as tht Sisters of Charity of the Catholic church, thereby eliminating all sec tarian tyranny. The Hospital service is placed upon the broad basis of non sectarian iutluence and operation. Mrs Woodruff stated that the United States government is doing its whole duty, both educationally and relig iously, toward the inhabitants of Porto Rico and it is remarkable, she added, how rapidly the Porto Ricans are ad justing themselves to the new order of things. Mrs. May Leonard Woodruff is the wife of Rev. Dr. W ? oodruff of the New Jersey Conference and the daughter ol Rev. A B. Leonard who is Method ism's Great Missionary Secretarv.
