ENGLAND ENTERS
HER PROTEST
LONDON, July 27. The British
government is seuding instructions to
Bir Charles Hardiuge the British am
bassador to Russia, today to energetic
ally protest against the sinking of the
British steamer Knight Commander by
the Russian Vladivostok squadron.
Until the presentation of the note to
the Russian government the greatest
secrecy will be maintained regarding
its oouteuts, but it is known that Pre
mier Balfoui and his colleagues have
decided to demand that the fullest re
paration shall be made by Russia, or
measures will be taken to follow up
tba diplomatic demands.
The British note, as Sir Charles
Hardiuge will submit it,will not men
tion the amount of indemnity Russia
mast pay the owners of the ship an 1
British subjects haviug goods on board
the.vessel, but all that will be sought
will be the establishment of the prin
ciple of indemnity and apology. A
salute of the British flag must also be
conceded and the future protection of
neutral shippiug assured.
The attitade of the British govern
ment is the result ot the thorough con
sideration given to the reports receiv
ed from Sir Claude Mac Donald, the
British minister at Tokio, and the ex
amination of international law author
Hies by legal experts. The despatches
from Sir Claude Mac Donald confirm
the reports that the Knight Command
er bad no contraband of war on board
for Japan. The government and all
ibe British authorities, it is asserted,
unite on the point that there was no
justification for the sinking of the
vessel. It is felt in government circles
that the Knight Commander incident
overshadows the Red Sea seizures,
whloh practically have been adjusted,
but which have failed to settle the
question of the rights of neutral com
merce.
JAPS' OPERATIONS
NOT ADVANCED FAR
LIAO YANG, July 27. —A Russian
correspondent of the Press, who has
just arrived here after two months
lay at Port Arthur,gives an important
and interesting narrative of the situa
tiou at the beleaguered fortress when
be left there July 14 which shown that
the Japanese operations till then had
not advanced so far as supposed. [Sev
eral Russian successes are chronicled
bal the report of a Japanese reverse,
with the loss of 110.000 men,is definite
ly disposed of, not being even mention
ed by the correspondent, who says:
"When I put to sea iu a junk the
land position on the Russian right
tlauk surrounding Green and Swap
bore hills which the Russians had lost
bad been recaptured by assault. The
heights of Huinshiu, which the Jap
anese defended desperately, alone re
mained in their hands. But I am con
vinced that this position also has since
been retaken.
The morning of my departure, July
14, the position was being bombarded
by •Ix-iDoh howitzers and shells were
falling repeatedly into the Japanese
works, oausing great disorder
"To sum up, by the fighting of July
third and fifth, when evidently the
Russian forces were actiiiK on the of
fensive, the Russians regained on the
laud side the positions they had held
in front of the fortress previous to
the battle of Kin Chou.
"The main forces of the besiegers

A BRICK AND
A COINCIDENCE
Some workmen repairing the water
conductors at the roof of the Opera
House discovered a brick laid in the
topmost course on which is graven the
name of " Hugh Curry. " The name
was placed there before the brick wan
burned and therefore represents a date
prior to ttie building of the Opera
House, early in the '7o's of the last
century.
The name was inscribed on the brick
by Hugh Curry himself long before be
entered upon Ins newspaper careei in
Brooklyn when as a boy lie was em
ployed in the brick yanl helow town.
Mr Curry remembers inscribing his
name 011 the brick, as be did so with
the full knowledge that the brick was
to be used in completing the walls of
the Opera House, that tine old struc
ture which in its day reflected so much
enterprise on the part of our town.
The object of the boy was accom
plished,as after the lapse of nearly two
score years the brick very unexpected
ly brought his name to mind. It is a
curious coincidence that the brick was
found by the workmen on Monday last,
the very day that Mr. Curry arrived
in town from Brooklyn to spend his
summer vacation amid the scenes of
his boyhood.
TROLLEY LINE
CONNECTIONS
The report that a trolley line is to
be built from Danville to Sunbury is
important, it true. It would be an ex
tension of the line that is being con
structed between Bloomsburg and Dan
ville, and would furnish a connection
with liues that extend to different lo
calities on the North Branch. The
parties who have this enterprise in
hand, and have been incorporated as
the Danville and Sunbury Trolley
Company, are in a large measure un
known in this place. It, is to be re
gretted that Sunbury enterprise is not
connected with it, as such connection
would be more advantageous to Sun
bury interests. However, we need
more trolley communication with oth
er parts of the country, and if we get
it we need not be particular as to who
furnishes it.
The much talked of line to Shaniok
in seems to bo in a state of suspen
sion. From present appearances it is
hard to tell whether its alleged pro
moters mean business or not. The
western end of it would run through
a country which does most of its busi
ness in Snnbury, and a trolley line
would make its business connection
with our city still closer. It is not
improbable that the line extending
down the West Branch, from Watson
town to Lewishurg, will at no remote
date he connected with the Sunbury
and Northumberland electric road.
With the North Branch, the West
Branch and the Shamokin lines con
verging here our city would ho as
much of a central point for trolley
lines as it is for railroads.—Sunbury

Barn and Contents Destroyed By Fire.
The large barn on the Purdy farm
near Pine Swamp Hollow, Rush town
ship, was totally destroyed by fire on
Sunday night.
The farm is tenanted by Simon D.
Wiand. The fire was discovered about
10:45 o'clock after the family had re
tired and before Mr. Wiand could
reach the barn the flames had gained
so much headway that it wai impossi
ble to save any of the contents of the
building. Three horses were burned to
death along with many valuable farm
ing implements. A good stock of hay
and grain but recently harvested was
also consumed by the flames. The cows
which had been left in the barnyard
were rescued with much difficulty.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mr.
Wiand whose loss not only in live
stock and grain is considerable, but
the misfortune coming in the midst of
harvest- time will prove a serious
handicap. The origin of the fire is un
known. The flames were plainly seen

Daniel Knauf, a professional forest

of the handsome shade trees on Bloom
street. This is an industry popular
enough in our larger cities and towns,
but one which i< quite new to most of
our people.
The professional forester not only
trims the trees very artistically,adding
much to their beauty but be also pro

rough ami rott *n hark and finding
where the borers and Saugo scales are

FIRE BREAKS OUT
AT PACKING HOUSE
CHICAGO, July '27. Fire broke out
among the packing houses in the stock
yards today in the lard refinery of
Swift & Co.. and soon gained such
headway that every available fire en
gine in the stock yards district was
called out. Humors of incendiarism
were rife. Examination, however, ap
parently showed the cause of the blaze
to have been an overheated dynamo.
The building, 150 by '2sofeet and three
stories high, was filled with tierces of
lard, many of which exploded.spread
ing the burning grease in every direc
tion. Louis F. Swift was on the
ground and directed the firemen in
their attempts to reach the blaze.
The firemen were hampered ingoing
into action by numbers of cattle and
sheep whit h were being driven along
Exchange avenue, the main thorough
fare of the stock yards. The fire threat
ened a number of buildings nearby but
the firemen managed to keep the flames
from spreading.
Thousands of strikers attempted to
get near the burning building but as
soon as the police arrived ropes were
spread, locking the streets for three
squares away. No one was permitted
to pass through the streets. The top
story of the building was of wood and
burned like tinder. The contents of
the building wore said to he valued at
$400,000.
L. F. Swift said,"The tire was cuus-
C«L WH have found tint, by the horning
nut of a motor. The firnase 111 the room
caused a rapid spread of the fire. There
is absolutely no reason to believe tliat
the blaze was of incendiary origin."
Most of the men in the building were
on the tirst floor when the lire broke
out. (»ther> bit by the main stairway
Few found it necessary to resort to
lire escapes.
Tlia damage was chiefly confined to
the upper pait of the building- Ac
cording to Louis F. Swift, ttie actual
loss would be only a few thousand
dollars, fully insured.

HICKS' AUGUST
FORECAST
Thn Ntoriu diagram shows that the
first six flavs of August are covered by
the combined disturbances of "Vul
can, Mercury and Mars." The regular
Vulcan storm jieriod is central on the
3rd. The culminating days of the
period will he the 3rd, 4th and sth.
On and touching these dates general
storm conditions will develop and pass
from west to east across the country.
The moon will be at New, or in con
junction with Earth and Sun, on the
1 Itti.iii perigee or nearest the Sun, on
the I:4th, and on the celestial equator
on the 14th, the central day of a reg
ular storm period. This period is also
embraced in the on-coming Venus dis
turbance, which is central on the 24th.
Indications of equatorial disturb
ances should he looked tor, the culm
ination falling most likely on the 14th
and loth. Vicious thunder storms and
high gales will center about Sunday
the 14th. Reactionary storm condi
tions will return on and next to the
1 '.♦tli and 20th. The last regular storm
period for August is ceutral on the
26th, extending from the 24th to the
29ih. Within this period the Moon is
at full ou the 25th, is apogee on the
2fith, and on the celestial equator on
the 28th. This period is also at the
center of the Venus perturbation, and
fully under the pressure of the Earth's
September equiuox. We may therefore
confidently anticipate some very mark
ed storm disturbances at this time.

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Hnhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits i
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar
es. You may have a - Kv
sample bottle by mail Homo of Swamp-Knot,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

Hon »<• Stunt] In a Car.
One of the little women whose Rize
forbids them to depend on the straps of
a trolley ear when compelled to stand
gives this advice: "If one will stand
facinj; the side windows, with feet well
npnrt to support the body, leaning
slightly to the rear when the car starts,
one may escape altogether any jerking
or even perceptible motion. Recently
I noticed when coming uptown in •
crowded car the rolling about of the
women in spite of the fact that they
were hanging onto the strups, and
their helpless condition has prompted
me to give this little secret for their
comfort. My arms are short, and I
cannot depend upon the straps, but I
can stand without moving, no mutter
how fast the ear is going or how rough
the road, if I nin not pushed out of my
place by some one standing next to

A Matter of Opinion.
Time was and this, too, in modern
ages when no one was considered a
scholar unless he could discourse in
Greek, and In one ate of the world red
eyes were in the highest type of beau
ty. In China now the greatest beauty
Is the one with the smallest feet. In
Peru a lady is not considered dressed
unless her face is hidden. A dozen
different din-tors will maintain conflict
ing opinions touching both diagnosis
and remedy in a sick patient. A story
Is told of a certain artisan who was de
signing so simple a thing as an ax
helve. Seven different people who pro
fessed to know what was the correct
thing advised him to make it in seven
different ways. He followed no one's
advice, but made a perfect helve —this
according to his own opinion. Ex

The Slur of the Moon.
As seen l>y different persons, the size
of the moon varies from that of a cart
wheel to a silver dollar. To many It
ntiems about a foot in diameter, from
which Professor Voting concludes that
to the average man the distance of the
surface of the sky Is about 110 ftn-t. It
Is certain that artists usually represent
the moon mueh t<*> large In size In their
paintings. Occasionally they represent
It In evening scenes with the horns
turned downward instead of upward,
whereas they must always point away
from the sun. The true angular size of
the moon Is about half a degree, po
that It can always lie concealed behind
a lead pencil held at arm's length.

"They take tremendous precautions
at the mint so that no specie shall be
lost," said an Englishman, with a rem
iniscence of an article he had been
reading on the subject. "Every scrap
of refuse Is burned In order that not
the slightest vestige of metal shall be
wasted. The working clothes of the
men are burned, too, when they are"
worn out, and they even burn the carts
which are used In carrying the bullion
to the mint.
"Well," said the American In the
corner, contemplating his cigar, "I
guess we go one better than that In
our immortal country. We burn the
refuse and the clothes and the carts.
Yes, sir, we do all that, and, what Is
more, when a man dies who has work

Two Odd I'lficr Namen.
A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier Journal gives an interesting
explanation of the origin of two queer
names of places. The mountains of
Kentucky afford many queer names of
streams, peaks, towns and villages, but
perhaps none are more remarkable
than Kingdom Come and Why Not.
The first of these Is the name of a
stream In I.eslie county and is taken
from the Lord's I'rnyer. The second
1b the name of a small postoftlee In the
county and originates from the old
song "Why Not Tonight?" It 1» said
that an interesting religious revival
was once held in this locality, at which
this song was sung n great deal, und
the people became so carried away
with the music that the place was
•ver afterward called Why Not.

Farmers in Kansas and Nebraska are
working night and day to save as much
as possible of the wheat crop damaged
by the recent heavy rains. Mauy mil
lions of bushels, in fact 30 per cent,
of the finest crop in years will be lost
by rust and decay. The loss will affect
not only the growers, but the freight
earning capacity of the railroads.
