FOUR YEARS IB RUSSIAN ARM? The Russo-Japanese War proves an absorbing topic at present and news from the Far East is daily awaited with something akin to suspense. No one, however, takes more interest in the war than Isaac Stine, the Russian cobbler, whose little shop is on Mill street nearly opposite the Brown Buil ding. Isaac served four years in the Rus ian Army and naturally has a bet ter comprehension of affairs at the seat ?f war than many of Ins better read neighbors. Nothing can be more interesting than his description of the Russian army and the conduct and treatment of the soldiexs. A r the pres ent it possesses an especial interest. Mr. Stine as common with the youth of Russia was compelled to enter the army. Hn four years, following 1890, were spent in Asia Minor not far from Constantinople. It was four years, he says, of the cruelest kind of depriva tion. The Russian soldier, he said, is compelled to subsist largely upon cab bage. He is supposed to be allowed three pounds of bread and one-half pound of meat per day, but under the ystem of graft prevailing in the army as well as out of it h» never receives more than two aud a half pounds of bread aud one quarter pound of meat, if that much. The bread may be made either of wheat or corn according to the part of the empire the army hap pens to be stationed in. A soldier must be satisfied with two meals per day, his second meal consistiug ot the cabbage which lias been left over from the first. The Russian soldier most keep him self neat aud presentable in appear ance. This is an exceedingly difficult matter, as the allowance of clothes which falls into his hands is as meagre as the food he receives. According to regulations lie is entitled to a pair of trousers per year and a coat every two years. What be actually receives is a pair of trousers every two years aud one coat during his term of enlist ment. The pay of a private, Mr. Stiue says, is forty-five cents every two months,except in time of war when it is supposed to be doubled, the soldier then receiving eighty-seven cents every two months. His food allowance is also "doubled" in times of actual hostilites. Mr. Stine says there is not a soldier in the ranks but knows that he is made the victim of injustice—that a portion of everything he receives is fraudulently appropriated by those above him in position. Ostensibly to prevent anything like graft, printed rules are circulated through the army with instructions to the privates tell ing them how to proceed to secure their dues. Yet all these are under stood to be dead letters,and no one tor a moment would think ot risking the consequences by protesting. Mr. Stine is an ardent Japanese sympathizer. As a Russian soldier he does not estimate the fighting qualities of the Russian Army very highly. He savs there is a sullen feeling of dis content if not hatred among the soldi er-. Thoywill fight and probably fight well under certain circum-iances but they have not the love ot country to spur them on, such as animates the Tunono«p He fhitibs Russia will be scaped an Awful Fate. Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla., writes,"My doctor told me I had Con sumption aud nothing could be done for me. I was givi#i up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle ot Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, induced me to try it. Results were startling. I am now on the road to recovery aud owe all to Dr. King's New Discovery. It surely saved my life." This great cure is guaranteed for all throat aud lung diseases by Paoles & Co., Druggists. Price 50 cents and #I.OO. Trial Bottles free. Have You Noticed It. A gentleman who is something of a weather student says there is one fact in regard to the thermometers that is not generally understood. Those hav ing colored mercury cannot be relied upon in extreme heat or cold. A "gov ernment" thermometer and one with red mercury may compare exactly iu ordinary temperature but when zero weather comes the red contracts more and therefore indicates a greater in tensity of cold than really exists. When you hear that the mercury is:2odegrees below zero in Danville you can safely decide that it is only 10 degrees below. In the hot days of summer the red mercury rises higher than is accurate, on account of greater capacity of ex pansion. Have You Indigestion. If you have Indigestion, Kodol Dys pepsia Cure will cure you. It has cur ed thousands. It is curing people every day—every hour. You owe it to yourself to give if a trial.

TOOK A TRIP TO NESCOPECK Will G. Brown, Walter Vannau, Will G. Shoop and Edward F. Bell took a trip over the S. H. & W. branch to Nescopeck on Saturday aud were well repaid by the many remarkable Bights which were beheld. The North Branch Valley between Danville and Nescopeck, which under ordinary cir cumstances is noted for its picturesque and romautio features just now pres ents a scene of the wildest desolation and would soarely be recognized. Its railways aud highways at many places are still submerged, fences are broken down and buildings moved from their foundations, while in the level fields are immense deposits of ice and pools of water left by the receding flood. At Nescopeck the scene is said to baffle description. The Ice jam there as the effect of the cold weather suc ceeding the flood is said to bave be come frozen in one solid mass and the people are crosslug it with perfect safety. To some exeut therefore the ice takes the place of the bridg-t. Mr. Brown took a number of pict ures during the trip, including views of the ice gorge at Berwick,and where the bridge was burned out in the riv er. He also got a view of where the bridge was swept away at Creasy as well as several pictures of our own ice gorge taken while the train was pass | ing over the flooded section at Roar- I ing Creek.

A clever swindler is operating in this vicinity, and it will be well for merchants to be on the outlook for him. He has the appearanoe and ac tions of being "green" but he is far from being as verdant as he looks. On Wednesday a Sunbury merchant was visited by the sharper who at tempted to victimize him to the ex tent of |5, but failed. The stranger entered the store aud priced several articles finally making a ten-cent purchase and tendering a |lO bill in payment. When asked If he had nothing smaller he replied that it was all he had,the change was made and the fellow picked up a biH.pn* i. i. i-<- , —i.»i mid aiiuweu tne bal ance of the change to remain ope the counter. He then priced more articles, in the course of which he exchanged his ten cent purchase for a fifteen-cent pur chase. Then he discovered fifteen cents in his pocket and put it down with the other change, suggesting that he would prefer a $5 bill to the change. The bill was produced aud as it was laid on the counter the stranger by questions endeavored to div ert attention to the money and as both the bill and the change was al lowed to iemaiu on the counter he thought lie hadjsuccecded. When he couolusion he asked to have his flO bill back and pushed the money on the counter for ward to exchange for it but failed in the trick. The merchant was not drawn from the financial end so fai but he saw the game and instead of giving a $lO bill for fo of his own money and $5 of the sharper's lie was told that wheu he returned the $5 he had putin his pocket he might have the original flO bill. He professed to suddenly remember the |lO, but the merchant had all of his own money and the fifteen cents the sharper had spent in trying to work the game. Nearly Forfeits his Life.

The op posing teams iu point of skill were pretty evenly matched as is indicated by the score,S3 to 81, in favor of Dan ville. Two twenty minute halves were played.

The Whitney Opera Company will soon present its latest and by far,most successful comic opera, "When John ny Comes Marching Home" by Stange and Edwards,authors of "Dolly Vard en" and other successfulfcomic opera, at the Danville Opera House. The story of the period known as the War of the Rebellion and the musio is suggestive of the famous bat tle songs of that time, most of which have lived to the present. An excep tionally attractive feature of the dress ing of the opera is the enormous crino line hoop skirts worn by the youug women. There is a military atmos phere permeating the opera from the first to the last act, finding expression in story, music and scenic environ ment. An Early Riser.

A Free Ferry The County Commission rs of Col umbia and Luzerne counties held a joint meeting at Berwick Saturday to take action relative to some substitute for the river bridge at that place swept away by the great flood of last week. It was decided upon to install a ferry or some other means of transportation near the site of the bridge.which Is to be free to the public. Elks Responding. The B. P. O. Klks of Philadelphia remitted SIOOO last week to the sufffr ers of the Baltimore fire. Similar ac tion Is being taken throughout the ooantry. THE NEW FREE DELIVERY ROUTE Special Rural Free Delivery Agent Val Shoenberger accompanied by Post Master C. P. Harder Saturday drove over a portion of the territory in Gear hart and Rush townships, which is not iucluded in the route which goes ont from Sunbury. They wore not able to take ill more than oue of the proposed loutes, the drive being pure ly preliminary in its nature to obtain some idea of territory, distances and proportion of inhabitants. The drive taken, which will probab ly be the outline of a new route, leav ing South Danville took in Roshtown, Logau Run,a portiou of the Shamokin road, Yost's corner, Union Corner and, returning, John Boden's mid Quitman in Mayberry township. TIIO above rout«s would be found to contain the required number of miles, neither would there be any <}uestion 011 the score of population, as it takes in a fertile and populous section where the people have advanced materially along different lines, but which at present is woefully deficient iu postal facilities. At one point the route as outlined strikes the route from Sunbury and the two lor a short distance travel the same highway. This occurs at a point only thiee miles from Danville where the other route has attained a distance of twelve miles from Sunbury. It does not seem at all unlikely under the cir cumstances that the Sunbury route may be modified somewhat to prevent overlapping with the proposed route, epecially as there is plenty of territory nearer Sunbury which could he taken in which is now ont of the rural free delivery. Special Agent Shoenberger will re turn to Danville in a day or so for the purpose of driving over the remaining territory. A Cure for Eczema.

The Hush to Oatawusa The Philadelphia & Reading excur sion to Catawissa Sunday carried an immense number of sightseers to Cata wissa. At this place over 300 tickets were sold. The excursion was carried iu time sections, the first containing ten cars arrive! at Danville ou schedule time. The cars were ail nearly full, how ever, and before the Danville conting ent were all aboard standing room was occupied. A small number here were obliged to remain behind and take the chances of being able to find standing room ou the second or third sections. which were reported also pretty well crowded, iliese sections, which were made up mostly of Mt. Carmel and Shamokin people,contained in all eigh teen cars. It was about 3:45 o'clock before the second section arrived at Danville and 4:15 before the third section passed. The rush to Catawissa was about tho same over all the lailroads, and it is estimated that at least tiiree thousand strangers were in the little town. The hotels were woefully inadequate to meet the wants of the hungry sight seers. In fact only a comparative few could get anything to eat, aud many of these had to satisfy the iuner man with a mere lunch, often consisting of a sandwich or a piece of bologna sausage,which was eatnn ou the street. There were also large crowds at Nes copeck and at Creasy anxious to view the sites of the bridges which had been carried away. Relief in One Minute.
