Summer Literature.
There has been considerable criticism
of what is called "light literature for
summer reading, some of it deserved,
jtttrlmps, hut much of it obviously un
deserved. If the summer book adhere
to a certain standard—which is not of
the highest—and to an uuderviating
plot— changed only as the reader
changes authors—what more could be
expected? There arc authors whose
productions you know so well that you
can correctly guess the plots of their
new hooks.
There are certain words and word
phases one naturally expects to find in
the summer books, and if they be not
there seen romping through pages or
discovered in some obscure paragraph
one is disappointed. They are expect
ed and therefore necessary. Like the
unvarying, and by unwritten office
rules required,metropolitan newspap
er heads describing the "wild dash"
of the runaway train, the burning of
the "human torch," etc., one grows
accustomed to certain words and
phrases in book. If carefully injected
into the story they are as acceptable
as the "human torch" and the others.
There is one word the frequent use
of which is now peculiarly effective
in sending stories to press and public.
That word is "banal." Jt has had a
very successful vogue and retains all
its power and popularity. It has been
kicked and dragged and cuffed into
sentences that were made for the cus
tom trade and whore it looked like a
dead fly on a spider's web. Neverthe
less we are disappointed it we don't
see the word, frequently. Any story
containing "banal"—the oftener the
better—is sure of success.

For a hundred years or more Witch
Hazel has been recognized as a superi
or remedy, but it remained for K. C.

Salve is the best salve in the world
for sores, cuts,burns,bruises and piles.

FORDING THE
NORTH BUM
The ohl foul was fouud in the
North Branch at this place cm Satur
day and for the first time in many
years teams were seen driving through
the river. The water had scarcely
fallen low enough to make driving in
thu river absolutely safe,hat the terry
at the present low stage of the water
makes such poor progress that the
teams in order to avoid the congestion
at each landing were induced to take
the risk.
The tirst to make the attempt to
drive across the river was the local
express wagon belonging to the Wash
ington Hose Company and driven by
William Reed. There were only vague
theories as to where the shallow places
lay anil what route would have to be
taken in order to effect a crossing safe
ly. There are many among the older
people who remember about where fho
old ford lay. which was used in the
past when the river was at its lowest
stage. A slight deviation from the
old pathway, even if that could be re
lied upon as safe, might throw the
team into a deep hole with very ser
ious consequences. To provide :igainst
all emergencies Edgar Sinton volun
teered to wade across the river ahead
of the express wagon, which was loaded
with furniture. The wagon took the
river just west of the ferry landing on
t he Danville side and following a semi
circular route emerged from the river
just below the landing on the South
side. The trip was made without mis
adventure of any sort,. The water at
its greatest depth did not exceed three
feet.while the greater part of the way
it was much less. Seeing that the
stream could he forded with safety
other teams quickly followed, the sec
ond to drive the river being Welliv
er's Hardware team, driven by Robert
McCormiek. The first to cross in a
buggy was Councilman Amos Vastine,
who made the trip in safety, although
the water at one point ran into the
buggy box. There were sixteen vehic
les in all that forded the river during
the day.
In the olden time, before there was
a bridge here, the ford was quite an
institution at this place and as the
years rolled around alternated with
the primitive ferry in serving the
early settlers. During the winter peo
ple drove the ice. During the spring
and fall they used the ferry,but when
the season of drought arrived and the
river fell low the ford always afford
ed a means of crossing.
When the bridge was erected the
people naturally employed the easier
and safer method of crossing the
stream,although a few who desired to
save tall, when the water was low,
clung to the ford. When the bridge
was made free there was no longer any
inducement to ford the river and dur
ing all the years intervening Saturday
was one of only a tew times if not the
only time that the ford was used.
From now on during the season of low
water many vehicles will "drive the
river."
SAVE YOUR HEALTH.
It is Worth Saving and Some Danville
People Kuow How to Save It.
There are some people who take
their lives in their bauds by continu
ing to ueglect their kidneys when they
know these organs need help. Sick
kidneys are responsible for an im
mense amount of suffering and ill
health, but there is no need to suffer
or to remain in danger when all dis
eases and sufferings arising from
weak kidneys can be quickly and per
manently cured by the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills. Here is the statement
of a Danville citizen who has reclaim
ed good health by the use of this rem
edy :
John James, puddler.ofll Sycamore
St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills were
of immense benefit to me in a case of
backache and kidney complaint some
years ago. I had suffered for months
with pain and lameness in my hack
and used all kinds of remedies but re
ceived no permanent benelit. I was
becoming discouraged but when Doan's
Kidney Fills were recommended to me
by Levi Alleger, I concluded to try
them. I got a box and used them as
directed. The result was far beyond
my expectations. They cured me and
1 liave had no return of the trouble."

Roosevelt Named As The
Republican Ticket Leader
When Head of Ticket Had Been Named Pandemonium
Broke Loose and Demonstration Continued
For Many Minutes.
CHICAGO, Jll tie 23. —Tlie Republi
can national convention mot at. 10
o'clock tins morning with the expecta
tion of naming candidates and ad
journing in time for afternoon trains.
The fair Jane morning was not spent
in idling on the lake front bat in the
packing of bays and eating short
breakfasts. Then oft' to the Coliseum,
and the oratorical flowers of men pick
ed from each principal division of the
county for eloquence.
. Klitiu Hoof and Speaker Cannon gave
the convention solidities in exposition
and logic that were designed to be
treasures from which any campaigner
might draw material for the argumen
tative side of the canvass. Black, of
New York; Heveridge, of ludiaua;
Knight, of California; Edward, of
Georgia; Cotton of Minnesota; Cum
mins, of Maryland; Dolliver.of Iowa;
Depew, of New York, and Foraker, of
Ohio, had been chosen to entertain, to
stir feeling, to excite admiration and
faith in the candidates they nominat
ed or seconded.
The Coliseum began to fill at !l o'clock
with the thousands permitted to hear
these men ot uncommon gilts. None
of them, accustomed as they were to
great assemblages and great, occasions
had ever had a more friendly and more
critical audience.
Senators Depew, Culiomand Spooner
have had their gold badges, worth
about .f2. r > each, taken from their coats
while in the crowds at the hotels,and
four robberies of delegates or visitors
have been reported to the police.
The nominations of candidates in the
national convention is the feature that
appeals most strongly to the public
and the number of visitors this morn
ing gave ample evidence of that fact.
A few moments before assembling
there was a hurried conference be
tween the managers that resulted in
an agreement that Alabama, the first
state on the roll would yield to New
York, to nominate Roosevelt.
It was also agreed that Alabama
which was the first state to instruct
for Fairbanks would yield to lowa to
place the Senator's name in nomina
tion for the Vice Presidency.
Shortly before 10 o'clock the New
York delegation began to enter the
hall, Senator Piatt at it> head. With
them came messengers bringing bund
les of flags, which were to be waved
when the President was nominated
Senator Heverirlge and Governor
Durbin were the first delegates from
the Hoosier State to feach their seats
and were greeted with a ripple of ap
plause.
On the two preceding days Senator
Fairbanks has come to the Coliseum
with the junior senator and the re
mainder of the Indiana delegation,but
he was not so early today.
Cheers greeted the arrival of Chair
man Cannon upon the stage and the
hand struck up the national* anthem.
This was the signal for the convention
to rise and the New York delegation
was conspicuous, each of its members
waving an American flag.
Just before Chairman Cannon's big
gavel fell Mis. M. E. Plumer, of the
American Flag Association, came up
on the stage and presented hiin with
a bunch of calla lilies which "Uncle
Joe" received with a profound bow.
"Put them in your button hole,"
yelled some one from the gallery.
Senator Fairbanks did not atteud
the session of the convention. Sena
tor Heveridge will cast the vote of In
diana for Fairbanks for Vice Presi
dent, with the exception of Fairbanks'
own vote.
It was exactly 10:30 when Chairman
Cannon,with the wooden gavel in his
left, hand, arose from his liigh-bieke d
leather chair and with a resounding
whack on the table in front of him,
commanded the convention to he in
order.
Chairman Cannon at once announc
ed that the order of bnsim ss would be
a roll call of States for nomination for
President of the United States. The
clerk called "Alabama," and immedi
ately Oscar R. Hundley,of that State,
announced that Alabama requested
the honor and privilege of yielding its
place on the roll to the State of New
York.
Instantly the convention was in an
uproar. The New York delegation was
on its feet like one man waving their
(lags and shouting wildly. Ex-Gov
ernor Frank Black, of New York, who
was to deliver the nominating speech
in behalf or President Roosevelt, im
mediately started for the platform
amid the wildest enthusiasm on the
part, of the delegates.
As Governor Black reached the desk
of Chairman Cannon lie was warmly
greeted by that gentleman and escort
ed down to the foot of the platform.
Here Chairman Cannon introduced
him to the convention. There wa< a
succession of shouts from the conven
tion.a chorus of shrieks from the New
York delegation, a paroxism of toss
itig flags, then silence, and Mr. Black
commenced his speech m behalf of
President Roosevelt.
"Mr. President and Gentlemen of
the Convention : We are here to in
aagurate a < tmpaign which seems al
ready to be nearly closed. So wisely
have the people sowed and watched
and tended, there seems little now to
do but to measure up the grain. The
enemy has neither guns'tior ammuni
tion, and if they had would use them
on each other. Their zeal is chiefly
centered in discussion as to what
Thomas Jefferson would do if he were
living. He is not living, and but few
of his descendants are among the
Democratic remnants of today. What
ever of patriotism or wisdom emanat
fed from that distinguished man is
now renresented in this convention.
It is a sad day tor any party when
1 its only means of solving living issues
is by guessing at the possible attitude
of a statesman who is dead. This con
dition leaves that party always a be
ginner and makes every question new.
; The Democratic party has seldom tried
a problem on its own account, and
when it has its blunders have been
its only monuments, its courage is re
membered only in regret.
When all the people have forgotten
will dawn a golden era for this new
Democracy. But the country is not
ready yet to place a party in the lead
whose most expressive motto is the
cheerloss word "forget." That motto
may express contrition, but it does
not inspire hope. Neither confidence
nor enthusiasm will ever be aroused by
any party which enters each campaign
uttering the language of the mourner.
There is one fundamental plank,
however, on which the two gnat
parties are in full agreement. Both
believe in the equality of men. The
difference is that the Democratic party
would make every man as low as the
poorest, while tho Republican party
would make every man as high as the
best.
In politics as in other fields the most
impressive arguments spring from con
trast. Nover has there been a more
j striking example of unity than is now
afforded by this assemblage. You are
gathered here not as factions torn by
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
discordant views, but moved by one
desire and intent, yon have come as
! the chosen representatives of the most
enlightened party in the world. There
are many new names in these days,
hot the Republican party needs no
new title. It stands now whore it
stood at the beginning. Memory alone
is needed to tell the source from which
the inspirations of the country How.
A drowsy memory would ho as guilty
now as a sleeping watchman when the j
enemy is astir. The name of the Re- j
publican party stands over every door 1
where a righteous cause was born. l"s
members have gathered around every
movement, no matter how weak, if
inspired by high resolve. Its flag for
more than fifty years has been the sign
of hope on every spot where libertyi
was the word. That party needs no !
new name or platform to designate its J
purposes.
The public mind is awake both to
its opportunities and its dangers.
Nowhere in the world,in any era, did
citizenship mean more than it means
today in America. Men of courage j
and sturdy character are rangiug them
selves together with a unanimity sel
dom seen. There is no excuse for j
groping in the dark, for the light is j
plain to him who will but raise his j
[eyes. The American people believe in
a man or party that has convictions
and knows why. They believe that
what experience has proved if is idle
to resist.
Hut not alone upon the principles of j
that party are its members in accord.
With the same devotion which has
marked their adhorences to those prin
ciples, magnificent and enduring as
they are, they have already singled
out the man to hear their standard
and to lead the way. No higher badge
was ever yet conferred. Hut great
the honor is, the circumstances which
surround it make that honor even more
profound. You have come from every '
State and territory in this vast domain
Hut today a common purpose and de- j
sire have engaged us all, and from ev
ery nook and corner of the country
rises hut a single choice to (ill the !
most exalted office in the world He j i
is 110 stranger waiting in the shade to 1
be called suddenly into public light, j
The American people have seen him
for many years and always where the <
fight was thickest and the greatest 1
need was felt.
He has been alike conspicuous in ,
the pursuits of peace and in the ardti t
ous stress of war No man now liv 1
ing will forget the spring of 'llß,when (
the American mind was so inflamed |
and Anieiican patriotism so aroused, v
when among all the eager citizens
surging to the front :*s soldiers, the
rami whom this convention has al
ready in Us heart was among the first
to hear the call and aiiswor to his
name.
Preferring peace but not afraid of
war; faithful M every private obliga
tion yet lirst to volunteer at the sign
of national peril; a loader in civil life
and vet so quick to comprehend the
arts of war that ho grew almost in a
day to meet the high exactions of com
mand.
Whether we wish it. or not, America
is abroad in this world. Her interests
are in every tongue. Those interests
so sacred and stupendous should bo
trusted only tot he care of those whose
power, skill and courage have been
tested and approved. And in the man
whom you will choose, the highest
sense of every nation in the world he
holds a man who typifies as no other
living American does, the spirit and
the purposes of :he twentieth century.
He does not claim to be the Solomon
of his time. There are many things
he may not know, but this is sure,
that above all things else he stands for
progress, courage and fair play, which
are the synonyms of the American
name.
There are times when great fitness
is hardly less destiny, when the ele
ments so come together that they se
lect the agent they will use. Events
sometimes select the strongest man,as
lightning goes down the highest rod.
And so it is with those events which
for many months with unerring sight
have led you to a single name which
i am chosen only to pronounce:
Gentlemen, I nominate for President
of the United States flit; highest living
type of the youth, the vigor and the
'promise of a great country and a great
age, Theodore Roosevelt of New York.
A- lie confronted tie convention Gov
ernor Black present >d a striking figure.
He is tall and gaunt. His hair,original
ly a dark brown, is liberally sprink
led with gray, his dark eyes look out
sharply from behind spectacles, and
from beneath closely overhanging eye
brows. Governor Black's voice,though
not heavy, carried well and increased
| in volume as he got fairly under way.
I His epigrams provoked laughter and
the sharply turned sentences tor which
he is noted never failed to raise a rip
' pie of appreciative applause.
On the left, lapel of his coat Mr.
Black wore a pink carnation and dur
ing the first few minutes ot hisaddrers
lie clutched lightly in his left hand a
i handkerchief which he allowed to
I hang loosely. He used few gestures
land these mainly by the left arm,
I which lie raised from time to time
j when he desired to emphasize a point.
I Governor Black pronounced the nom
inating words at 11 :<M> o'clock. As he
did so he retired quickly from the
platform, but the words, "Theodore
Roosevelt," had not left his lips when
there was a shout. The convention
was on its feet. Like the crash of
thunder that follows the lightning the
enthusiasm began. Flags were 111 the
air, hats were thrown up, men jump
ed onto their chairs,worn 11 stood and
shouted. The air was rent with one
continuous prolonged shout from thons
ands of throat-. So mighty was the
volume of sound that nothing definite
in the way «'| ir! iculatt sound was
distinguishable
In a few minutes Chairman Cannon
pushed in the front ami rapped vigor
ously tor or ler I'lie applause at this
time had eontiiiind minutes, it re

I FARMERS BEGIN
MAKING HAY
I flay making lias arrived hut only a
| few farmers in this county have as yet
I cut any grass. The hay crop will not
ihe an exceptionally large one. The
; prospects were very fair for awhile
and it, was thought that the hay crop
| would he a record breaker. The col 1
: wet weather which followed,however,
retarded the growth of grass and hut
| little more than au average crop is
I now looked for.
! The wheat crop in this county,which
i was despaired of early in the Spring,
will be one-third better than was ex
! pected. Harvest, however, will he
later than was probably ever known
before The wheat fields are taking
on their first tinge of harvest and it
will be a week or ten days bofore the
| most advanced will bo ready to cut,
wliilo from present appearances the
| majority of the fields will not be ready
I for the reaper until nearly the middle
of July.
i | The lateness and Irregularity in
| ripening is attributed to the back ward
) Spring and the fact that some of the
i I wheat fields wore protected by sua A'
! while others were not. Where the
, snow lay when Spring came the wheat
was found vigorous and healthy and
|it at once began to develop. Where
j the wheat was exposed to the rigors
jof the hard winter it either was kill
ed outright or so badly crippled that
jit did not begin to make much of a
i showing until some time in May. The
wheat is heading well and there are
I very many fields to be seen where the
yield will be quite up to the max
| imuin.

Conductors Get Vacation.
Pennsylvania Railroad passenger
j conductors will receive their usual
| two weeks' vacation with full pay this
summer. Such is the present intention
of the management, which feels that
the conductors, by reason of the
clerical work they perform in addi
tion to their regular duties, are enti
tled to every reasonable consideration.
Freight conductors get no vaca
tions,nor do baggage masters,passeng-
I er brakemeu and enginemen except at
their own cost.
Pennsylvania Railroad clerks are
still anxiously waiting to learn just
how the announced retrenchment
policy is to affect them. It takes effect
from July 1.
In the meantime schedules are being
prepared as a basis upon which to lay
oft about 250 clerks and to assign the
remainder in batches to pavless vaca
tions.
It is understood that seveuty-five
clerks in the ear record office will be
furloughed.
Reports published say that the Al
toona shops had been put on two days
a week time and that work on the new
Trenton repair [shops, only just put
under contract,will be deferred. Both
these reports are denied. A Pennsyl
vania Railroad officer said:
"Altoona shops will run only as
necessary, probably four or five days a
week."

says: I suffered for many years from
Kidney and (travel trouble. The pains
from the gravel was simply awful. No

Not to Marry Divorced Persons.
Nineteen ministers of Chamhershurg
have signed a solemn pledge not to
marry divorced persons,so long as one
or the other divorcee is living. The
action was made without any cere
mony, and according to the pledge is
the result of a recognition of the "very
great danger threatening American
family life, and the total disregard of
Christian morals involved in the in
discriminate practice ot divorce, and
the hopeless nature of the present laws
on the subject to furnish any relief or
protection." The ministers represent
nearly all denominations.

W. Jeroski, residents of the Shamokin
region, recently left for a fishing irip
to Ohillisquaquo creek, and tor some
unknown reason did not arrive there
until after dark. Upon arriving there
they prepared to fish from what they
supposed was the bank of the creek.
After fishing for a time Zimmer nan
fell a>lcep, rolling down the enhank
menf. Homer sprang to his rescue,and
then it was learned for the lirst time
that they had thrown their lines into
a wheat field. They refuse to explain
bow they came to make the mistake,
hut the incident goes to show what
Shamokinites know about fishing.
Mi. Carmel council on Monday night

SDIPIBNT OF
MILS ARRIVE

part of last week, lu order that nc
time might be lost while waiting for
the next shipment of rails all hands
were put to work "cleaning up" along
the track already laid, hy which it is
understood ditches were dug,excess ot
earth removed and the track putin
condition for running. The track is
now laid as far as the hill at York's
farm. Along this long stratch every
thing now presents a clean and order
ly appearance.
Four new culverts have been built
—one at Roberts' store, one at Paules'
arove, one at Blecher's and oue at
York's farm. At Paules' grove the
road has been much improved. The
sharp grade has been out. down some
three feet and the bridge at that point
moved eight feet in a southwesterly
direction. A good deal ot terra cotta
pipe is used in constructing the drains.
One thousand feet of this pipe rang
ing from six to twenty-four inches in
diameter has been delivered along the
line.
Six teams were employed Saturday
in delivering the rails along the line
and the work of track-laying will be
pushed along as rapidly as possible.
William O'Connor of Heading, an
expert lineman, with half a dozeu ex
perienced men under liiin, has begun
the construction of the overhead work.
Poles are now set. for adistauce of two
miles and a half bej. i ining at the Bor
ough line, while i»*»l«-- are delivered
nearly all the wiv t i Itlnomsborg. A
cat load of wire in mil it Rupert ou
Saturday and tin- 1 nenn u will begin
the work of sir. t li ng ttie wire in a
very short time.
The grading is no.v completed to
1000 feet beyoud Grovania. Grading
will not be pushed very hard at pres
ent. The object is to have the differ
ent gangs of men working as near to
gether as possible and more attention
will be given to track-laying and the
like, which are now a considerable dis
tance in the rear.
Two car loads of ties arrived at Dan
ville Saturday and are now being de
livered along the line.
