THANKSGIVING
AND PRAISE
This is the day appointed by tlie
President of tlie United States tor
Thanksgiving and Praise to God for
the mercies of the past year.
Upon reflection our citizens will
find that they have a lew things to bo
thankful for which have not fallen to
the lot of humanity in general. Storm
and pestilence have passed by us. We
need not go far just now to find com
munities where great casualties,where
lawlessness and even murder have oc
curred. But nothing of the kind has
darkened our town.
The Union IHianksgi ving service
held at Pine Street Lutheran Church
at 10:80 o'clock this forenoon w»ll te j
an event worthy of the day. The ser
vices, including a Thanksgiving offer- j
ing.will he of an elaborate nature and
afford all who participate an oppor- 1
tunity to pour out their soul's grat
itude to the Giver of All Good.
Next in order comes the Thanksgiv
ing dinner, thai time honored institu
tion, which will be tlie center of many
a happy family reunion. yes
terday and previously many men of
our town who occupy positions in dis
tant places, might have been seen re
turning home to spend the annual
Thanksgiving under the parental roof.
The visit itself will be a cause for
thanksgiving in the hearts of loving
parents glad for the opportunity to
meet their loved ones.
During tlie afternoon and evening
ttiere will be various opportunities for
enjoyment. Not the least of these will
be afforded by the gaiue of football at
DeWltt's Park between the high school
team and Oatawissa.
The regular Thursday dance will be
held in the Armory this afternoon and
those fond of torpsichorean pleasures
will be on hand and join the dance.
Lyman H Howe's great exhibition
of moving pictures will be the Thanks
giving attraction in the opera house
tonight. This is a refined and chaste
entertainment, instructive in its na
ture and not at all out of harmony
with approved Thanksgiving enjoy
ments
Season of Holdups and Robberies.
The brutal murder of William Oleu
dennin, near Jersey Shore, tlie daring
iioid-up and robbery at Allenwood and
at Oirardville remind OIIH that the
season is hero when judging by the
past such outrages are likely to occur.
Why these outbreaks should occur
each fall it is very hard to explain.
Hut it was just about a year ago when
the hold-up happened in which our
townsman U. Y. James had such a
narrow escape. Going back for sever
al years 'it is found that each fall
brings several burglaries, if nothing
more daring in the line of hold-ups
and robberies.
The large number of hoboes moving
about does not add to one's sense ot
Micurity, as few of these follows are
above suspicion. Danville is fortunate
in having two policemen, who are able
to cover the entire borough daily and
to keep a close watch on suspicious
characters. At the same time it de
volves upon citizens to keep their
doors and windows secure and not to
eourt danger by carrying upon their
person too many valuables if out aloue
late at night.

A Seven Pound Battle Axe.
Robert Russell, while walking be-
I low the Mouth Monday after
j noon picked up an immense Indian
! battleaxe, which casts into the shade
| every other Indian relic found iu this
locality. The curiosity was laid bare
iby the recent flood. If weighs just
■ seven pounds and aside from its weight
which makes it a weapon fit for a
giant, it is interesting because of its
finish and its graceful and well de
fined shape, which leaves not the
shadow of a doubt as to the nature of
the implement and the purposes to
which it was put.
Mr. Kussell lias a collection of In
dian relics, several hundred in num
ber, comprising tomahawks, spear
heads, arrow beads,bird arrows,drills,
chisels, and skinning implements.
And the remarkable pait of it all is
that he has picked up the big collec
tion since last June on one spot with
iu a radius of lens than twenty yards.
His first find consisted of several relics
just unearthed lying closely together.
Not a tew of the implements found
bear the appearance of having passed
through fire. All the circumstances
are such as to lead Mr. Russell to be
lieve that he has found the site of
"Indiantowu," which according to
tradition was situated near the Creeks
mouth. The exact spot so prolific in
Indian relics is about midway be
tween tlie ('reeks mouth and "Lover's
Leap."
It was thought that the arrow heads
and like implements upon which the
Re l Man had expended his crude art
with few exceptions had long ago be. -n
picked up from that locality and the
rich find alluded to is therefore all
ttie more surprising. The relics, it
seems, lie deep and are ieleased as the
river cuts iuto the bank. It was bv
following up the action of the water
thut Mr. Kussell was enabled to pick
up so many reminders of Indian days
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The Young Men's Christian Associu
lion of Brooklyn, N. Y.,has just cele
brated its fiftieth anniversary with a
series of meetings, culminating in a
great gathering at the Academy of
Music, on Sunday evening, addressed
by the veteran Dr. Cuyler, R Fulton
Cutting, Esq., formerly a president of
the Association, President Stryker of
Hamilton College, Bishop E. G.
Andrews, of New York, with Mayor
Low in the chair. This meeting was
much iu the form of a jubilee over the
raising a jubilee fund of $425,000 for
the erection of three new buildings,to
co-t from $75,000 to $.'50,000 each, the
paying off of the mortgages from two
of the branches, and provision for the
extension of the Association's many
enterprises. While ft 25,000 has been
raised, $200,000 more are needed. To
wards the former sum John D Rocke
feller gave SIOO,OOO, after his legal
representative had male a thorough
investigation into the management of
the Association. Work is conducted at
twelve centres in the city, including
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the Long
Island Railroad yards, and the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit Company car bams.
The Association possesses six build
ings valued at $1,000,000, including
$150,000 endowment. The organization
has 5,W00 members,over 1,000 of whom
are in its evening classes. Of the 72.i
men connected with the evening class
es at the Central Branch on Fulton
Street during the last season, all but
ten were wage-earners. Nearly 5100
men are in Bible classes, and about as
many mom attend the Sunday after
noon service*. Over 700 attend the
gymnasiums on week days. The branch
for which S7S,IKK) is asked for a build
ing. is at Greenpoint, and will be
made a workingmen's Christian As
sociation for the large number of men
employed iu the manufacturing centres
there < >ne of the large donors to the
fund was George Foster Peabodv.who
when a boy. and working on a few
dollars a week iu New York City, se
cured much of his education in the
evening classes of the Association lie
has given large sums for Association
buildings at Columbus,Ga . Salt l.ake
City, Utah, and other points
All of the buildings of the Associa
tion were decorated during the week
with flags and bunting, as were also

Murder Trial is Postponed.
The indication.- are that the Decem
ber term of criminal court in Colum
bia county will 1" comparatively slack
in tie- number of cases to be tiied, for
it is undetstood that District Vttorney
Duy will move for a continuance of
all cases from ov r Centralia way, the
reason therefore lieing the prevalence
of small pox.
While the full justices' returns have
not yet been made to District Attorney
Duy, yet th re is no doubt but that
there will be the usual number ot
cases to he tried and then, too, the
case of Murderer John Sesock is listed
for trail at the December term of
court. There is e\ >ry resason to hope
that this case will net be tried at the
December term, taking over to Blooms
burg as if would a large number of
the element from that section, who
would he them ist likely to spread
the disease.
It is understood that his counsel has
stated that should an effort be made to
have this case continued they will
make a motion for his discharge on the
grounds that it will then have been
continued over two terms. In view of
the fact that the information was not
laid charging liiin with murder until
Monday night ot September term when
he was re-arri sted.tho commonwealth
should a motion be ma le for continu
ance, will doubt! 's-i t ike the position
that continuing it over this term will
only be continuing it over one term.
In any event the danger thai the trial
of the case would bring to Blooms
burg, coming as the witnesses would,
from the hinall pox infected district,
is such that, if it is possible and the
contagion continues in its present
virulent form, the trial should bo eon -

IN MEMORY
OF DH. SHAVER
Tim memorial service at St. Paul'*
M. E. church Sunday in memory of
the late Rev. Joseph R. Shaver, D.
D., wan attended by a very largo con
gregation. Rev. Hairy Curtin Har
nmii, the pastor,pleached a very eftec
tive sermon founding liin remarks up
on Ephesiana, fi: '2l : "lie was a broth
er beloved and a faithful minister of
Jesus Christ."
Hev Haiiuan began by saying that
there i- no passage of scripture be
tWfcn the lids of the Hihlo which
more accurately ex presses his estimate
of Dr. Shaver's character than the one
just announced He was both a broth
er beloved to all men and a faithful
minister of Jesus Christ. Dr. Shaver
was :t.'i years an effective minister in
the Methodist Episcopal church. Dur
ing those years he served 14 different
chinches as pastor, the average term
lof each pastorate being 2'., years.
! When he hegau his ministry the time
; limit was two years. Gradually the
j limit increased to 3 yeais and then to
J 5 yoais.the last general conference re
-1 moving the time limit eutirely. The
significant tact about Dr. Shaver's
j ministry is that he remained with
; each church he served the full limit.
Ins pastorate of Pine Street church,
1 Williamsport, coming under the un
limited term. He ri uiained in that
church for six years and could have
1 ienriiued longer had lie himself so de
sired.
His ministerial character was the
mutual product of self acquired knowl
edge, wide reading,a profound knowl
edge ot men, great walth of experi
' enco and of divine grace. God only
nukes preachers, calls them into the
ministry and always honors their con
seienfious and unselfish devotion to
duty.
Dr. Shaver was preeminently an
. evangelistic preacher. The rceords ot
t Sr Haul's church show that more peo
ple were converted and joined the
. church under Dr. Shaver's pastorate
! of 3 years than under any other pastor
, with the exception of one. As a pasto.'
he was the embodiment of the com
. pletest ideal. To him the delicate and
sometimes difficult work of pastoral
visitation was easily and inspiringly
t performed. He was always a welcome
visitor in the homes of his p ople an 1
left those homes better for his having
been there To him man's emotional
nature was as sacredlv divine as his
thought life. He was sympathetic,
gentle, always. In him ge ntleness was
0 a source of superb strength. Ho knew
that a gentle man is always a strong
t man.
He was a veteran soldier of the Civil
1 War, responding early m the incep
tion of that war to his country's call
Among his comrades in the army lie
1 was held in growing esteem He bad
no sympathy for and but little patient e
with any sentiment which lacked ap
ii preeiation foi the boys in blue. Pat
riotism was a constituent element
strongly developed in his Christian
t character. He belonged to the 17th
r Pennsylvania Volunteers and with his
112 company endured the privations and
H hardships involved in the national
s struggle for liberty.
s He was an indent Ma .oil and among
v the craft of that honorable institution
in this city he was greatly esteemed
* I and exceedingly popular. He was
1 one of the men who mingled treelv
1 with his brethren in the work ot the
lodge and in the social functions in
- eldent thereto, who always maintain
(| ed in the confidence of his brethren
the dignity of his Christian and uiin
e istwria! character.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS;
Owing to the registry assessors
throughout the State being careless in !
the making out of proper returns of I
school children,considerable money hai- i
been lost to the districts from the i
State appropriation. State Superin
tendent N. <'. Scliatl'i r calls atteut ion
in the Pennsylvania Si hool Journal
for November, to two matters of im
portance to school directois. Olio is a
change in the law concerning the uis
tribution of the State, fund for public
schools and the other is the necessity
of care in making the biennial and
triennial returns, both of which are
being prepared this year. He hays:
"As this is the year HI which the
triennial assessment is made from
which the county commisHioneis cer
tify to the department of public in
struction the number ol resident tax
able*, also the year in which the com
missioners make the biennial return
! of the number of children between the
ages of six and sixtc n lor appropria
tion purposes, we desire to call atten
tion to the matter and urge directors
to veto it in time that their assessors
' and county commissioners make cor
rect returns. This can be easily at
tended to now, but it will he difficult
to make corrections later on, anil neg
lect may result in the loss of a portion
of the appropriation.
"The list of taxahles now certified
to the department will be used in the
distribution of the State appropriation
to schools for the next three years,and
the list of children between six and
sixteen will lie used tor the next two
years, bene- the importance of having
the correct number certilied.
The attention i.f schoi I di-octors is
drawn to an important ' hange in the
affidavit which the presi lent of each
school hoard must file in the depart
ment in order that his district may re
ceive its share of the State appropria
tion. It is a clause affirming that the
provisions of the compulsory educa
tion law have been complied with.
This has been made necessary by the
negligence and laxity of some school
boards in the enforcement of a statute
which wisely aims to banish illiter
acy. The superintendent of public in
struction is required to withhold one
fourth of the appropriation from
s hool districts which fail to enforce
the law. The superintendents of the
various counties, cities, boroughs,and
townships :i |iil the seereiaris of the
several s luicl districts are requested
to diaw the attention of all directors
to this important addition to the form
of affidavit which will be sent out each
year for use at the proper time. Ignor
ance of law cannot be accei ted as an
excuse to comply with its provisions."
Not a Sick Day Since.
"I was taken severely sick with
kidiicv trouble 1 tried all sorts ot
medicines, none of which relieved me.
One day 1 saw an ad. ot your Kleutric ;
Hitters and determined to try that. '
After taking a few doses I felt reliev- '
eil , and so m thereafter was entirely 1
cured, and have not seen a sick day
since. Neighbors of mine have been
cured of Rheumatism, Neuralgia
Liver and Kidney troubles and Gener
al Debility." Tins is what H. F.
Hass, of Fremont, N. C. writes Only

Wintry Weather.
There are some people who merely
say: "It is wintry weather," and
think that is all there is to it. As ail
indisputable tact in the daily record
of events that is barely an atom of an
i all-embracing whole. "It is wintry
I weather" is not even so much as a
! hoop on the outside of a barrel of
; spoiled cider.
Winter is the season of the pessimist,
when all the evils of man and nature
are let loose upon a hapless public;
win n the gas man and the plumber
and the coal man hold us up; when
influenza and pneumonia and rheuma
tism lay us up; when slushy streets
and icy pavements break us up; when
refractory furnaces and freezing pipes
and the worstcoalyouoversaw Keep us
up; when bad atmosphere and worse
chimneys choke us up; when rain and
snow and sleet and blow and freeze
and thaw and frost and fog and sun
and cloud do us up. It is the time
when meat is high and vegetables are
out of sight, and only mendicants can
say truthfully that the air is bracing.
It is the period when writers stretch
their imagination and till with sesqui
pedalian vocables intricate ly involved
sentences tor the laborious elucida
tion of what is plain. It is the time
when nearly everybody carries catarrh
inhalers or cough cures and more
clothes than he feels like paying tor.
And yet, as we have mentioned,
there are people who think all is said
when they remark that: "It is wintry
weather." Why, goodness gracious,
there is the fellow ,vho leaves the door
open and with an air of triumphant
originality asks whether it is cold
enough for vou

THE DEAL HAS
FALLEN THROUGH
The American is authoritative
ly informed that the tfeal has fallen
through involving the purchase of the
enormous deposit of shale north of this
city for the purpose of manufacturing
vitrified brick. Robert J. Purcell,
Vice Presideut of the American Kiln
and Combustion Company, who last
summer was negotiating tor the prop
erty and who paid down a handsome
sum ot money lias failed to exercise
his option, which expired on the IMth
inst.
The company represented, which was
formerly known as the Price Tunnel
Company has again undergone a change
and is now known as the Perfect Com
bustion Company of New York Rob
ert F. Purcell is no longer a member
ot the company. He lives at Atlantic
City and at present he is ill, confined
to his tied with an attack of nervous
prostration, it was this serious lllucf-s
which defeated his plans and caused
him to forfeit what was paid down.
It has now been many mouths since
the value of the deposit of shale north
ot town owned by William G. Shoop
was demonstrated by a series ot prac
tical experiments with the shale made
in the kilns out of town where vitrifi
ed brick are burned. In the interim
there lias not been it time when nego
tiations have not been on foot bet ween
the owner and parties in Philadelphia
and New York for the purchase of the
deposit. The expiration of Mr. Pur
cell's option and bis failure to close
the bargain has opened the way to
otiier prospective put chasers and it
was stated Saturday that a new brick
man would be ot< the ground today to
look over the property and size up the
opportunities.
The shale is ot first class quality and
the deposit of almost unlimited extent.
Add to this the tact that street paving
in the smaller towns hereabout is com
ing more and more into vogue; that
Danville itself during the next year
or so will require many hundred thou
sand of brick to say nothing of what
will be needed in our neighboring
towns and it will be seen that the
manufacture of paving brick here,
whore the item of freight for large
quantites will be reduced to a mini
mum ought to be atteuded with con
siderable profit.
Our local capitalists are not blind
to the opportunity and are already
talking up the project of organizing a
company to purchase the shale and
enter upon the manufacture of vitrifi
ed brick
A Remarkable Case.
One of the most remarkable cures of a
cold, deep-seated on the lungs, caus
ing pneumonia, is that of Mrs. Gert
rude K. Fenner,Marion, lnd. who was
entirely cured by the use of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says:"The
coughing and straining so weakened
me that Iran down in weight from
|MMto U2 pounds. I tried a number of
remedies to no avail until 1 used One
Minute Cough Cure. Four bottle 9of
this wonderful remedy cured rue eu
| tirely of the cough, strengthened my
lungs and restored me to my normal
weight, health and strength." Sold

Y. M. 0. A. Star Uouree.
The first number of the Y. M. C. A.
j Star Course ol' Entertainments will ho
held in the Opera House next Friday
evening, Nov. Speaking of the
entertainment, the Richmond (Va.)
News says—" Honey's Hoys" captured
the hearts of Richmond. Such con
tinued and spontaneous applause is
rarely heard in the concert hall, lie
cause the company far exceeded ex
pectations. "Honey's Boys" exquisite
singing and playing probably excelled
inartistic finish and intelligent inter
pretation any performances ever heard
by the little people in these parts.
Their elegant costumes and trim mil
ir iry uniforms, their artless, unconsc
ious and high-bred manners, coupled
with winning smiles, all completed a
stage picture that did the heart good.
It was small wonder that people near
ly smothered them with attentions at
an impromptu reception at the close
of the concert; and ladies stole kiss
after kiss from their rosv cheeks. It
is impossible to convey in type an ad
equate idea of the accomplishments of
these northern boys.
United Charities at World's Pair.
Edwin K Hart, representing the
Pennsyvlania State Commission of the
World's Fair to fie field at St. Louis
next year is going through this state
collecting photos of charitable homes
and poor houses, getting views of the
pretentious as well as the shabby
structures where the poor and indi
gent of Pennsylvania are provided for.
The object of the State World's Fair
Commission in securing these pictures
is to show the extent of the operations
of the charitable organizations of the
commonwealth, which,the commission
confidently believes,will compare fav
orably with the wnib of anv other
state in the union.
At the close of the exposition the
photographs will be preserved at Har
risburg, where they can be inspected
at any time by members of the legisla
ture and anyone interested in charit
able enterprises. The picutres will be
of considerable assistance at the next
session of the legislature when the ap
propriations for the various institu
tions represented will be under con
siderat ion.
