Do Good—lt Pays.
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. A few
doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
will rid you of your cold, and there is
no danger whatever from pneumonia
when you use that medicine. It al

H. L. Schick Revisits Danville,
H. L. Schick for mauy years a resi
dent ot this city, but at present living
in Washington, D. C , is revisiting
Danville. While here Mr. Schick con
ducted a barber shop,a business which
he still follows in Washington.
Mr. Schick left Danville about ten
years ago. He started up business
here some forty-five years aim. He
was a resident of this city for nearly
a generation and as was natural be
came acquainted with nearly every
man and boy, a fair proportion of
whom at one time or another were
shaved in Mr. Schick's shop and can
bear witness to the deftness of his
touoh and the keenness of his razor.
Mr. Schick has with him the identi
cal razor with which he began harber
»ig in Danville so many years ago and
which he used in his business during
all the years in which he conducted a
shop in this city. He exhibited the
razor, now worn to a thin blade not
more than a quarter of an inch deep,
to a circle of old-time acquaintances
at the Montour House last evening,
who instantly recognized the razor as
one which had been used on their
faces many a time.
Mr Schick ou his visit is accom
panied by his daughter, Mrs llulda
O'Connor of Washington. The two
are stopping at the Montour House.

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. Here is a case
of it. What better proof of merit can
be had than such endorsement?
Jos Hooker of 10J North Spruce St.,
says:"l was for a long time afflicted
with lameness in my back pain
over my kidneys. I had a great deal
of nervousness, restlessness; did uot
sleep well, had bad dreams, and was
continually tossing from side to side
striving to get a comfortable position.
The kidney were not nor
mal, was tired all the time, and often
bad a dull aching in the back of my
neck. I read accounts of Doan's Kid
ney Pills curing people. The descrip
tion of their symptoms tallied almost
exactly with mine aud induced me to
try the remedy. On using them a
short time the whole trouble disap
jioared.''

Brings Suit Against P. & R. R. R.
Jeremiah Kester, of Mainville, has
brought suit through his counsel,
James Scarlet and Charles W. Miller,
against the Philadelphia & Reading
K. R. in which the plaintiff alleges
the defendant company is guilty of
trespass in taking from him the water
of Furnace Run,a small stream which
empties into the Catawissa creek a
short distance above Mr. Roster's
mill. The defeudant company uses
this water to fill their water tank at
Mainville.
Nervous headache
Breeds Insanity.
Many a person's whole pleasure in
life is ruined by the fear of nervous
headaches. 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.
Mrs. Jacob Mills of Cor. Front, and
Church Sts., Danville, Pa., says:—
"Last Pall I was feeling very badly
run down and nervous. 1 bad frequent
spells of nervous headaches and a good
deal of trouble with my stomach. See
ing Dr. A W Chase's Nerve Pills re

The visiting team pl iyed line ball
aud at one time it looked us though
they would score, but Danville rallied
at critical moments and by a series of
tierce line plunging and tast end plays
carried the ball out of danger.
The game although hotly contested
was free from all rufliianisui and there
were no injuries. The Danville boys
gave the visitors the best they had in
stock. Tiie gone was as pretty a one
as could be played between teams of
this class and the scoreless finish
shows that it was a Greek-Meet Greek

Open Air Service in Cemetery.
The annual open air service of the

larger gathering was expected,hut the
rain storm at the appointed hour kept
down tin! attendance, the out of town

audience was present.
After the reading of the service and
a special prayer for the repose of the

Thus far the sum aggregates thirty

top of the ground. Savits turned,and
bending over, was in the act ot plac
ing the terra cotta pipe when Marr
felt the side give way, and yelled a
word of warning to hi- fellow work
man, at the same time jumping to the
other side, but it was too late. No
sooner had the words left Marr's lips
than a mass of earth and stom s fell
with a dull,crushing thud,and caught
its victim in a stooping positon liter

of tons of dead weight forced the

sioners w» re joined by Northumhcr
land and Columbia County Boards at

The purpose of this convention is
for the consideration of the interests
arising in tho management id' the
county affairs in Pennsylvania. The
exchange ot ideas and practical ex
perience in the work usually falling
to the lot of the commissioners of a
county, such questions as taxation,
bridges, roads, the poor aud the in
sane, would seem to be of incalculable
benefit in the administration of county
business.
The program for the convention cov
ers a remarkable broad field and strikes
the most important questions of the
day. It is as follows :
1. Resolved, That road damages
should be paid by the respective dis
tricts through which they are opened.
Opened by William Davis, Esq., of
Columbia County. Disoussion.
2. Resolved, That each county

would be advisable in our poor laws?
Opened by W. W. Wilbur, of Warren
County.
4. Question, What effect has the tax
lien law of 1901 had upon the legisla
tion regulating sale of land for
taxes? Opened by A. E. Sisson, ot
Erie.
5. Question, What are wo doing to
ward getting roads in Pennsylvania?
Opened by J. C Mercer,of Allegheny.
tl. A question box will bo opened,
| and all questions deposited therein
will be discussed. They will be taken
J up before the close of each session.
; It will bo seen from this program
that subjects of live interest and great
importance will be discussed by men
i of abilitv, and from the question box
will arise discussions upon every
troublesome question of county work.
It is hardly uocess.irv to state that this
county, along with all counties of the
commonwealth, may expect to derive
much good from the convention at
Pittsburg.

Edict Against Whiskey aud Tobacco.
Railroads throughout tint country
are waging war against intoxicating
liquors used by employes who are en
gaged in operating the lines. The fiat
lias gone forth generally that employes
who drink or frequent places where
liquors are sold are not safe to intrust
tho lives of patrons or with the valu
able property transported by the rail
roads. The rules which have recent
ly been inaugurated against the use
of tobacco are not so stringent as
those against liquor, but generally
they proscribe tobacco while on duty
and when about stations. As for the
cigarette, the order against it is al
most as severe as that against whis
key. The rule is being strictly en
forced.

ONE YEAR
WITH ROOSEVELT
E. L. Simmers, special officer of tlie |
F. & R. 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

A Good Corn Crop,
Contrary to all expectations the corn
crop this year will he a good one.
This is all because Jack Frost has been
loitering around in the back ground
latei than usual this year and given
the corn that was planted late an op
portunity to matuie.
Ex dinglv ilty weather in April
and early May l:«-t Spring made many
of the fields too hard for ploughing,
then heavy ram- M I in which m-ido
the ground too wet for working, so
that at mmy places it was late in
June before the corn was planted and
tin the last, of July at many places the
stalks were scarcely more than fence
high.
Two months of good growing weal It
er, however, have done wonders. The
corn nov\ In itig i ut and many field*
| aro in shocks. The stalfes liave attain
| ed a rank growth and the ears are
1 large and well developed.

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.

Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
won't cure rheumatism;
we never said it would.
It won't cure dyspepsia;
we never claimed it. But
it will cure coughs and

ever since.
