There is more Catarrh In this section of th
ountry than all other diseases put together
and until the last fi-w years was supposed to
be ncurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced It a local disease, and prescribed
ocal remedies, and by constantly falling to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by !•'. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken Internally in

FOURTEEN KILLED
AT PORT ARTHUR
LONDON, March 28.—The story of
the Port Arthur bombardment is con
firmed in today's advices froui tho far
east. Eighteen .Tapauese warships, in
two sections were engaged. Fourteen
Russians were killed, but the damage
ito the town is insignificant. A dispatch

have massed on the Yalu river with
150 field guns, while an immense Jap
anese army has moved northward to
within striking distance of the eueiuy.
A decisive laud is immi
nent. The Russians report from Port

ports that on Thursday, March 17 our
Cossack scouts approached Anju and
observed on the left bank of the
Cheng-Cheng (Cheng-ju) river, op
posite Anju, entrenchments made by

PREVENTING
FLOOD DANGERS
Iu common with other towns aloug
the North Branch the citizens of Dan
ville are manifesting much interest iu
the proposition to enlist the state in
an effort to prevent the recurrence of
dangerous floods along the river.
The prevailing sentiment found ex
pression iu a communication addressed
to the Borough Council at its last
meeting, which placed first on a list
of municipal improvements needed a
dyke along the river hank above town,
which might be constructed in con
junction with the State and railroad
companies interested.
People seem very much in earnest
and it is not unlikely that there will
be a good healthy agitation of the mat
ter during the next few mouths. A
good many plans are suggested. One
is a proposition to ask the Legislature
to require the purchase aud removal
of the islands and other obstructions,
which can be done only on sucli au
thority. There are very many islands
along the courso of the Susquehanna
That they become under certain con
ditions dangerous barriers is well il
lustrated by the islands in the river
above Danville which caused the for
mation of one of the most formidable
ice packs along tho whole river and
still serves as an anchor to hold a large
field of ice intact. At least many of
these islands are of no practical use
and could well be dispensed with.
Tho towns up the river are interest
ed in a proposition to purchase and
destroy the dam at Nanticoke. It is
also claimed that the channel of the
river is at places filled up with calm,
mine aud other refuse, which should
be kept out of the stream.
Not only at Danville but all along
the river people have suffered severely
from the Hoods aud speedy action is
warranted to protect themselves against
similar dangers in the future. Where
the local authorities manifest a desire
to do their part the State can well
afford to be generous iu helping.
Death of Henry Jacobs.
Henty Jacobs, a brother of John
Jacobs, Sr., and a former resident of
Danville, departed this life at his
home,Williamsport, on Tuesday night

He was a confectioner and after work
ing as a journeyman for a short time,

self, occupying the stand, Mill street,
in which William C. Davis did busi
ness for so many years. Ho later re
moved to the corner of Mill and West
Mahoning streets where he remained
for some years. He subsequently con
ducted the Mansion House. Leaving
Danville he was in business awhile in
Mt. Carmel and Northumberland re
moving from the latter place to Will
iamsport where he has resided for sev
eral years.
The deceased was 10 years of age.

NOTABLE SERMON
AT GROVE CHURCH
(Continued from first page)
got the people ot his bondslave life
and later with twenty missionaries re
turned to Ireland extending to the
Celtic people the offer of Christianity.
He first landed on the coast of
Wicklon; finally at Durdrum Bay,
County Down He sought oat his
form r master hut failed to convert
him. His wish was to visit Tara, the
capital of Ireland. Ho sought first the
conversion of the king, princes and
Chieftains of the land.
Paganism gave way. Druidism
lost its spiel 1. Pastors were educated
and ordained to the ministry and
schools arose. Dr. McCormack paid a
fine tribute to Sr. Patrick not only as
to his religious zeal, hut also to his
wisdom aud tact. In first seeking the
conversion of the kings and princes he
set an example which is imitated by
missionaries at the present day.
"St. Patrick found Ireland opulent
in melody of music and song. Moore
and Sir John Steveuson traveled over
tho country aud gathered up the
songs,resetting and revising them and
thus we have the beautiful gems of
" Garry Owen,""The Last Kose of
Summer" aud "The Meeting of the
Waters," etc.
"As we read tho brief records of St.
Patrick's life we think of him as a
man of generous heart,keen in intense
seusibilities, capable of toilsome and
wearisome labor under the inspiration
of a burning passion for saving souls.
He moves tluongh Ireland, today at
Kerry,tomorrow at Mayo and the next
day at Armagh. St. Patrick was a
Christian missionary. The people to
be converted were fierce, sensual,
idolatrous.''
Concluding Dr. McCormack said:
" Sr. Patrick's day may seem to some
a most ah.-urd anniversary. But can
you not s-'e in it the homage of the
heart to disinterested and self sacrific
ing goodii' ss. Thero are those who
may laugh at tho Irishman aud regard
him as superstitions, hut they should
not despis/ the soutiment which im
pels him to venerate the great evangel
ist to whom he owes his Christian
faith.
" Yonder the august yet unambitious
form stands out against the back
ground of the ages. Through tie mists
of thirteen centuries reverend eyes
still gaze upo'i the btave heroic mis
sionary, teacher, saint; his hands up
lifted in benediction upon the people
of his loving care and paternal coun
sel. God save Ireland!"
Use Immature Calves
Complaints have recently reached
the Dairy and Food Depart .m-nt from
certain counties of Pennsylvania that
a number of <h alers are engaged in
buying calves from three days to a
week old frtuu tanners and that these
are being shipped outside of the state
for food purposes.
Some of these dealers are making
| daily shipments and the practice is be
coming quite common, because dairy
men find a more remunerative source
of income from the sale of milk than
they would realize from permitting
the calves to reach a more mature age
before placing them on the market.
It is claimed that the bulk of this
so-call"d "bob veal" and "monkey
veal" is bi ing shipped to New Yoik
and New Jersey, where it is consumed
in hoarding houses and restaurants. In
these places ir is alleged this meat is
used for "chicken pot-pies" and other
dishes of a like character.
It has also been asserted that a con
siderable portion of this illegal meat
is being canned and placed on the
market under fancy names, and is be
ing soid in many instances lor chick
en.
Idleness Depleted Stocks.
The idleness of 50,000 miners iu the
Schuylkill region for three days dur
ing the last week has depleted coal
stocks to the lowest point since tho
strike of I'JO2. <>t the million and a
half tons generally stored in the coal
region there is now only a little more
than a quarter of a million tons on
hand.
Loses Thousands a Month.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
loses over SB,OOO a month at their sta
tion at Nescopeck, on account of the
destruction of the Berwick-Nescopeck
bridge. This, together with what
they lose at South Danville and other
points,where bridges have been swept
away, amounts to many thousands of
dollars a month.
Repairing Pavement.
The pavement iu front of Harvey
Longonberger's barber shop, Mill
street, washed out by the flood, was
repaired yesterday. Over a cart load
of gravel was washed fiotu under the
flag stones into the cellar, as a result
of which tho pavement sunk about a
foot. Paul Swentek is the owner of
the building.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
FROM ASHLAND
The laigo crowd winch assembled in
the Armory last night witnessed one of
the best played games of basket ball
of the season. The opposing teams
were the Danville High School and
Ashland. Both teams were pretty

For many years it has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused Indigestion

exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin Instead of
the juices of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
