COJ WITHOUT
LIEUTENANTS
Company F, 12th regiment, N (}.
P., is at present without lieutenants,
First Lieutenant F. M. Herrington
having recently tendered bis resigna
tion. Second Lieutenant W ,112. Keim
resigned several months ago. Two
elections were held for the purpose of
choosing a successor but on neither oc
casion did the members agree upon a
man.
An order will shortly be issued to
fill both vacancies. Drill will be held
on Tuesday evening, when the matter
ot candidates will be talked over. For
that reason if for no other a full at
tendance is desired. The names of
several ex-guardsmen are prominently
spoken of in connection with the liea
tenauoy of the Company. The season
for rifle practice will expire on the
30th inst. There are still a few men
of Company F who have not qualified
and who will have to attend to that
duty before the close of the month or
stand the consequences.
The members of the local company
are elated over the result ot the an
nual inspection held during encamp
ment at Mt. Gretna la>t summer. The
report,which ha- just appeared before
the public, shows that the 12th regi
ment stood fifth with only a difference
of one-tenth per cent, between it and
the 13th regiment. The 3rd Brigade
as usual led the State.
The local company stood its in per
gonal apearance and 100 in books and
papers. The other parr of the inspec
tion was by regiment, ttie company
uot flouring individually.
The inspection officers of the differ
ent brigades of the State declared that
they found the National Guard very
proficient and that it approached near
er to army standards tliau anything
they had seen.
Acting Adjutant General Hall of the
army in his annual report recommends
that the Governors of the several states
and territories which participate in
the anuual allowance to the militia be
empowered to use such portion of the
allotment as may he necessary to pay
the men for attending drill. That the
drills are poorly attended, lie says, is
evident when one visits the armories
throughout the State. This is a condi
tion which requires a speedy remedy.
TliM 111 Mf 1 Will nfnKuhlu IIM ''»•«•
cents per drill and be fined one dollar
for each drill missed, unless a satis
factory excuse be given. Under the
statute, each man must attend twenty
four drills per year.
Having the high endorsement of the
Adjutant General of the Army it looks
an if something would be done in this
matter. Another step in the movement
for the betterment of the National
Guard whch is pretty sure to result in
something tangible is the plan to build
Armories throughout the State. Plan*
and specifications for the buildings are
now being made which provide lor a
rifle gallery of not less than 100 yards,
a gymnasium, reading and smoking
rooms, bath rooms, shower bath, &c.
It seems probable, too, that in the
near future the National Guard will
De equipped with the new olive drab
service uniforms. It has already been
decided to equip the National Guard
of New York with this uniform and
General Henry of that State will issue
orders to that effect during the pres
ent week.
Oured of Piles After 40 Years.
Mr. C. Henry, of Gener.'a, 0., had
the piles for 40 years. Doctors and
dollars could do him no lasting good.
DeWitt's Witch Hazel Halve cured
him permanently. Invaluable for
cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, lacera
tions, eczema, tetter, salt rheum, and
all other skin diseases. Look for the

A Fine Entertainment.
The first entertainment ol the sea
son was given last night to the Thom
as Beaver Boys Bible Class and was a
most enjoyable event. The entertain
uieot opened with enthusiastic sinK
ing by the boys, there being 104 pres
ent. Mrs. William D. Laumaster was
in charge of the meeting and opened
with Scripture leading and prayer.
Then followed a piano solo by Miss
Luella Werkheiser. Mr O. K. Sclul
ling and Miss Madge Saunders sang a
duett. Miss Hazel Harman read a se
lection, which interested the boys The
Misses Reese, accompanied by their
father, Frof. J. J. Keese,sang a duett
A violin bolo was well rendered by
Miss Madge Saunders, aceoaipanp-d hy
M ish Dor# .Jenkins. Mi-s Kiiima (i.-ar
hart rendered a vocal solo, accompan
led by Miss Kuth Gearhart, and Mas
ter Keese sang the closing number,
and was loudly encoied.
This closed a pleasant evening, which
was enjoyed by all. These entertain
ments are given monthly for the pleas
ore and profit of the members of tin-
Boys class and ar> a source of great
good.
As Thanksgiving Day approaches
• very man will discover that he has
more things to hu thankful for than
sorry for.
STATES VALUABLE
DMBT PRODUCTS
lu a circular issued Saturday on the
necessity for a strict enforcement of
rlie oleo and renovated butter laws
Fond Commissioner Warren says there
are 32,i»00 farms in Pennsylvania which
derive their principal income from
the dairy.
The latest figures obtainable show
that the value <»f tho dairy products of
Pennsylvania aro exceeded in value
by hut one State in tho Union. Tho
value of these proluctsaggregate $35,-
8(50,110.
'•Ill woo.the State had 943,773 dairy
cows," said Dr. Warren,and these pro
duced 487,033,818 gallons ot milk 111
one year. The total number of farms
in the State, as reported by the last
census, is ,245. and the number re
porting dairy products was 200,03t5,
with a total valuation of 435,800,t>8ii.
The butter made on 1511,857 of these
farms aggregated 74,221,085 pounds, ot
which amount 51,3011,83! pounds were
sold by tint producers.
"These figures at once reveal the
somewhat startling evolution that lias
been effected troni a simple and crude
beginning, to the high standard ol
dairying that pievails today through
out the Stale.
"The Dairy and Food Commission
er of Pennsylvania is especially anx
ious to foster this industry and pro
tect consumers against tho sale of il
legal dairy products Whether oleo
margarine be sold without a license,
or illegally colored; or if a dairyman
sells preserved, watered or unwhole
some milk, the offenders in all cases
will be held to a strict accountability,
when discovered by thu officers of the
law
" The oleomargarine and renovated
butter acts legalize the sale of these
commodities, but the Legislature has
placed certain restrictions and condi
tions on the statutes that must be ful
ly observed by both manufacturers
and dealers, as well as the proprietors
of hotels and boarding houses and
wherever oleomargarine and renovated
butter may be sold or used. "
Commissioner Warren is actively
prosecuting sellers of adulterated
liquors. Under his orders Agent James
Foust, of the Pure Food Department
Saturday began the prosecution of 5(H>
hotel kepeers in Western Pennsylvania
on the charge of adulterating liquor.
He sued thirty-nine hotel keepers be
fore Squire Gallagher of Osceola.
Seven proprietors of saloons and ho
tels in Reading were on Friday each
fined SSO and costs by Magistrate
Saudt, on the charge of selling adult
erated blackberry brandy, thereby
violating the pure food and drink
laws.
The prosecutions were brought by
Robert Simmers,superintendent of the
Eastern division ot Pennsylvania. He
testified that samples procured at the
various saloons were a compouud of
coal tar, glucose, salicylic acid, log
wood, etc., and that it contained no
blackberry juice at all. The costs in
each case amounted to from sl2 to
$lB.

Tlios. Lewis,of 513 Mill street,says:
"For years 1 had a lameness over my
kidneys and aching in the small of
my back. I used many remedies, try
ing first one thing and then another,
but without being cured I learned
about Doan's Kidnev Pills and read
the statements made by people who
had used them and took according to
directions. They not only removed
the lameness and aching, but they

THE MANIA
BREWERY
Tho Germania Brewery, which lias
been purchased of Fonst Bros, by Fer
dinand Muckley and Gottleib Hauss
tit inn of Scranton. is one of the old
est establishments in Danville. Un
fortunately it is one concerning whose
early history hut little is known.
Philip A Fou-it, yesterday stated
that he purchased the plant fifty years
ago and it was old even then. It is re
membered hv old residents as far back
as 1810 when it was owned by Hiatt
Matchin. All agree that it is very old
and that within its walls was probab
ly brewed the first lager beer made in
Danville.
There is a tradition that at one time
the site in part was occupied by a
cooper shop. The brewery is a ramb
ling old stiuctnre made up of several
parts, one or more of which have been
rebuilt within a few years past. Aroli
itecturally at least the brewery has
the appearance of dating a good way
hack into the last century. Philip A.
Foust purchased the brewery of Hiatt
M iti bin in 18") 15 remaining in posses
sion tor four years when he sold out
to a tirin consisting of John Gerstuer,
Michael Rosenstein and Joseph Popp.
At that time ho says tho equipment of
the brewery and the process of making
beer was altogether different from the
present time although the quality ot
tho beverage was none tho worse for
the primitive methods employed in its
manufacture.
Bausch & Fillingor were the next
owners, who installed the large vault
at South Danville. John Bausch was
identified with tho brewery for thirty
five years. The vault, which was an
indispensable adjunct to tho brewery
as the business grew, is no longer in
use. Great progress has been made in
tli' art of brewing as well as along
other lines and the ice plant which
now enters info tho equipment of every
brewery has rendered the use ot a
vault unnecessary.
Mr. Bausch sold out to Mr. Steg
niaier of Wilkesharro, but after a few
vears he repurchased the plant, (leist
er B , Couily W. and Curry W. Foust
about seven years ago became owners
of the hrewery. In the interim they

Sunday Schools.
Hie thirteenth annual coveiition ot
the Montour County Sabbath School
Association, held on Thursday and
Friday of last week at St. Paul's M.
E. church was a gioat success. It dem
onstrated that much enthusiasm is
still manifested in a noble woik. It
was a gathering that alno indicated a
unity ot purpose among the various
Christian denominations in the mat
ter of Sunday schools.
The vitality of Sunday school work
is one of the wonders ot the age and
it is entirely attributable to the self
sacrificing labors of tho thousands of
t ■;»( hers sprea I throughout the length
and breadth of this fair laud; and it
any class of Christian workers should
tie encouraged aurl sustained it is that
of the Sunday school teacher.
The Sunday schools are more than
ever the stand-bys of the church, they
form the nucleus from which is drawn
all that I- strong and useful in church
work. The amount of good that is
a coniplished through these schools
can scarcely bo measured, the litera
ture that is created and distributed is
simply enormous, so that it is impos
sible to estimate the vast amount of
good tli »t is heirig disseminated every
year.
A h iv or girl who has been careful
ly trained in the Sunday school and
has by loving hands and tender care
reared in the atmosphere and kept in
tho ranks un'il they reach the age of
■il can always T»o counted upon as use
ful memlxrs of society,to say nothing
of their services in tho church itself.
Our day schools are secular in many
respects and in spite of the danger of
sectarianism one almost wishes that
Christian training on the lines of the
Sunday schools could be introduced.
We unfortunately know that to be al
most an impossibility in a land con
stituted as ours is, but, nevertheless,
that fact should cause every man and
woman to rejoice that so many Sunday
schools are available for the hoys and
girls of the land without money and
without price.
Tim hundred and oue temptations
.unl opportunities afforded to our peo
ple, young and old, to turn the Sab
bath day into a day of travel and plea
sure instead ot into one of rest and
tranquility >md for the study of less
worldly things than on other days,
makes Sunday schools more of a neces
sity than ever, ami CUIIH for a higher
grade of teacher and for the need of
tar more preparation tor Sunday school
teaching and exposition than in the
past. It is gratifying to know that
these new conditions are being met,
that the churches are making their
■Sunday schools more inviting than
i vi r, and th>' late convention demon
strates that enthusiasm for tin- work is
-till strong and tie workers confident.

Hi- subject, "Hon the Sunday School

discussed by the other rasters anil lay
members present.
At I0::;t> the county officers pre-ent
ed their leports and after some vol
untary addre-ses several important
questions relating to Sun lay School
work were asked an 1 answered. Hugh
Cork, State Secret iiy. was present dur
ing the morning M -sion and by his
practical suggestion.- relating to the
matter in hand helped along the work
of the Convention very much.
The afternoon session was opened
with praise service conducted by Rev.
E. B. Dunn. At '2:15 Rev. Dr. Mc-
Cormank spoke on the "Relation of
ttie Sunday Scliooi to the Home. Ihe
address covered the ground very
I horoughly and einpli i-i/e 1 the follow
ing points: Bible Preparation, punc
tuality and regularity of attendance.
The addte-s of Hugh Cork Friday
afternoon hid as its subject, "Sug
gestion- as to Sunday School Manage
ment." The subject was treitei in
Mr. Cork's intensely practical way,re
flecting not only his interest, but also
his ripe experience in Sunday school
work. He warned t lie delegates against
attempting to apply too readily what
is new- as to method or management
upou their return lrom the conven
tion . rather should Sunday school
workers appropriate and make food
for thought and study anything new
which they may have learned, permit
ting it, if practical in its nature, to
find an expression in a gradual im
provement in teaching or management.
What is now if not properly consider
ed and adapted to a school is apt to
breed confusion and defeat its obiect.
The State Secretary also insisted up
on the "right man in the right place. "
If Sunday school work is as important
as we hold it up to he. then exceed
ingly great care should be exercised
in selecting officers. That a man is a
good man is not sufficient. lie most
he the very best man in tho commun
ity. In selecting a superintendent, for
instance a man who is merely pious
may be passed by, if there is another
man in tho community who is just as
devout and combines with it better
tact and business qualities, which
would quality him in a higher degree
for looking after the interest of the
Sunday School.
The speaker held that there is room
I for improvement in the matter ot keep-
I ing records. There are few Sunday

■IDE SUBJECT
OF I CHAPTER
AIIIHIIJ! the books relating to local
history there are none that art; more
readable than tint late I). II H.
Brower's book, "Dauville, Its I'ast
and Present." Whother the author is
dwelling on an old landmark of the
town or an individual identified with
its history he is sure to ]ii'< ■ iit a rich
tu lid of information. The most of the)
biographical sketches relate to those i
who have passed away ; a few of them, j
however, have to do with those still
living. Among the latter there are
none who have more honors piled up
on them than our townsman Captain
George Lovett, who should feel very
proud of the position ol prominence
accorded him in the pages of local his
tory.
.Speaking of Captain Lovott'B war
record I Jr. Brower writes:
"Au ardent patriot and with an in
telligent appreciation of the great is
sue involved in tho struggle Captain
Lovett was ever ready to hazard his
life for the cause of right and to vindi
cate the honor ol tho old Hag. He first
enlisted as a private soldier in tho
"Danville Feiicibles" 111 18<»2 At the
battle of Antietam be was wounded
by a miunie bullet but lie kept his
post while tho blood streamed OUT his
face until the day was won. On the
expiration of his term he re-unlisted
in the 1 S7tb regiment and WHS promot
ed to the oilice of Captain. In this
regiment he led his company through
all the battles of the Wilderness in
General Grant's memorable campaign
of 1864. Captain l.ovott was in the
battles of Petersburg and the Weldon
railroad. At Port Hill ho was severely
wouuded in the left arm by which he
was disabled for a time and from
which ho still suffers; however, be re
turned to bis post where he remained
until the close of the war. lie was al
so injured iu the bauds by the pre
mature discharge of a cannon iu tiring
a salute on the occasion of rejoicing."
Captain Lovett at present is at the
head of the cleauiug department at the
Danville Stove Works.

Wealth From Our Soil.
The agricultural department at
Washington estimates t!:e yield of
coru at one bushel to the acre l>--s
than the great production of last jear.
The figures are 2,. '5115,000,000 bushe's,
and this is hardly eight per cent short
of the phenomenal crop of 1902. And
there is wheat. On the department's
report, the yield of this cereal is li-V.t,-
000,000 bushels, or less than two per
cent below the actual harvest fit last
year Oats show a greater falling off.
due tv, tli" smaller acreage planted,hut
yet hold up to an estimated yield of
T,5'.t,00.),0 H) bushels.
Here is a substantial output ot wealth
from t'n> soil. Last year the value of
these three crops of the principal
cereals—corn,wheat and oats —btonght
too ir farmers a price of £1,7415,000-
000—fir more than tiie entire national
debt; more, indeed, than the mos
and extravagant of our congress
es have appropriated for carrying on
the government.
The Hurries of the stock exchange
do not count against such a demon
stration of the resources of our soil.

are bountiful, wo need not shiver in

bounteous.

Miss Minnie Hoover, Paris, 111.
Perhaps your mother
had thin hair, but that is
no reason why you must
go through life with half
starved hair. If you want
long, thick hair, feed it
with Ayer's Hair Vigor,
and make it rich, dark,
and heavy.
