Boston is making a great effort to have this the greatest and most memorable encampment that the Grand Army has ever held. The entertainment during the week will be most elaborate. There will be tbe usual campflres and parades, but in addition there will be some other feature! that will repay the comrades for their trip. There will be automo bile parades, river carnivals, fish din ners on the shores of Massachusetts Bay, surf bathing, excursions to Lex ington, Couoord, Plymouth Rock aud other places of historic interest. Free quarters will be provided for ail who wish them. Those who wish .. to stay at hotels will not find auy ad vaaae in rates, as the proprietors have already guaranteed to maintain their regular prioes. Oar towusman, W. M. Hoddens, is aide-de-oamp to General Black, Oom mander-iu-Ohief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and will be one of those from Danville who will attend the National Encampment. Bullet May Prove Fatal. John Doyle, a seventeen-year-old Oentralia boy, is confined to a cell at the Sahaylkill oounty prison with a probable trial for murder staring him iu the faoe. He was arrested at the picnic park near the half way house at ▲shland.at a late hour Saturday night and was brought to Pottsville on the P. <Jfc R. Buffalo express Sunday morn ing and lodged in jail. Doyle aud a number of other young men from Ashland aud Centralia at tended a picnic winch was given at tbe park by the members of the Eu reka Social Club from Centralia Some ef them became intoxicated by drink ing an excess of beer during the oven lag and an argument was started be tween Thomas Fiulan.of Ashland, and "Butoh" MoCaun, of Oentralia. The argument waxed warmer and warmer aud a fight was the lesult.wlien Doyle advanced with a revolver extended iu his right hand, exclaiming at the same tioie that he would protect McCauu. Finiau told him to behave himself and pat the gan away or he would take it from him, whereupon Doyle leveled it point-blank at Finlau's head and fired three shots, ouly one of which took effect, ttie ball entering the left side of bis faoe.

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION Our readers will be glad to learn that our former townsman, William L. Harder, of Birmingham, Ala., a brother of Postmaster Oharles P. Harder, has perfected a very useful invention relating to rolling mill work which will no doubt onrioh him and make his name famous. Mr. Harder, who is distinctively a rolling mill man, in the 70's aoc mpanied William Faux from Danville to Pueblo. He next went to Houston, Texas, later drifting to Birmingham. The follow ing from the "Birmingham News" fully explains the invention : ; William L. Harder,after ninth theo retical study on the subject, has made tests at the Birmingham mills of a patented auxiliary furnace,using pro ducer gas, demonstrating an idea he hps looking to a general saving in lab or, fuel and wear and tear of machin ery. Experts who havo witnessed the demonstration believe that the patent will arouse as much interest as did the Westiughouse air brake when it was first demonstrated. A largo number of exports and in terested parties have been to the roll ing mills and investigated the patent and it is likely ttiat there will be some use put to it in Birmingham. With the Harder system of burning producer gas under boilers it is propos ed to effecc a great saving iu the world's consumption of coal. Over the best practice witli the most mod em up-to-date steam generating and steam saving appliances this method of firing will save, it is said, from ten to fifteen per cent, of the total com bustibles used, which is now lost by incomplete combustion and by the in troduction of excess air and by green coal and coke falling through the grate bars. The Harder system entirely ob viates these losses by completely gasify ing every particle of combustible in the fuel employed and delivering same to the fire box and consuming the gas with the miuimom amount of air. There is a complete and smokeless combustion. Iu first-class practice it is proposed to save in fuel ten to fif teen per cent, in labor from thirty to fifty per cent, and prevent all smoke, and over average steam boiler practice it is proposed to save from fifteen to thirty five per cent, in firing over fir ing direct, and fifty per cent, in labor and also have no smoke. Over poor practice this invention, it is said,will save fifty per cent in coal and labor and under all conditions afcato the smoke nuisauoe. By this system it is proposed to lengtheu the life of the boiler and the furnace walls, for at no time is cold air permitted to enter the fire box and hence a quick contraction of the boiler is prevented aud the strains caused thereby avoided. There are no grate bars aud hence no clink ers accumulate on the boiler walls and consequently the furnace is clean at all times. The economies of the Harder system as set forth in his gen eral propositiou are numerous aud are all founded on scientific principles and his ideas are a coinbiuatiou of well established theories which he had re duced to a practical application and has made it possil.le to install a set of conditions iu a steam generation plant that will effect the maximum saving in fuel, the maximum saving in labor, give the maximum length of life to the boiler and appurtenances and most effectively abate the smoke nuisance. Mr. Harder has boeu assisted by some of the best gas experts and mechanics in the district in the installation of his test plant. Iu the last two or three days a number of persons interested iu the plants have looked at the tempor ary idaut erected at the rolling mills. TOUR TO THE YELLOWSTONE PARK AND PAOIFIO OOAST.

CONTRACT FOR TRESTLE WORK The contract for the trestling at Twin Hills about a mile and a half above Grovania was awarded by the Danville and Bloomsburg Electrio Railroad Company yesterday to the Owego Bridge Company, which is building the bridge for tint company over the Fishing Creek. The con tractors are given until August 21st to complete the work, a date at which, if no delay occurs, the grading w ill bo completed along t.ho entire line. The trestle work will be twenty-one feet high and upwards of two hundred feet long. By thus bridging tbe hol low between the Twin Hills a very ugly grade is obviated and the line between Danville and Bloomsburg made a comparatively easy one The crew is still employed on the overhead work. The trolley wire, cut on Tuesday, yesterday was made fast overhead at each side of the crossing and stretched tight.

The pain returns to the aching back when you think you are well rid of it. No need to fear such a return if Doan's Kidney Pills are used. They make bad backs well and weak backs strong and keep them so. The testi mony of Danville people proves this claim a fact. You can readily verify such proof as the following: Thomas Lewis, retired, of <lls Mill St., says:"l can only leiterate ray former statement made in IH«.«*> about Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me eight years ago and the cure then made has been lasting and 1 have had no return of my old trouble. Before using them 1 was greatly troubled with backache. 1 used everything re commended but got no relief. The lame ness over the kidneys and the terrible aching continued in spite of every thing that 1 did and there seemed to be no relief for ine. I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills and read the state ments made by people who had used them,and concluded to try them. They not only removed the lameness and hachache but they benefited my health in general They also relieved the headaches to which 1 had been sub ject for a considerable length of time. I can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reliable 'backache and kiduey cure." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents per box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

(From a recent decision of the Ken tucky Court of Appeals exempting the Associations there from Taxation.) "Aside from that part of the relig ious work done by appellees, which may be dominated devotional, they undertake to bring within the relig ious, moral and intellectual influences of the institution all young men, and for that matter, old men.too, for their betterment, improvement arid protec tion from evil influences and conse ju euces. It is not so much the giving of alms, or in aid of the mendicant. The endeavor is to ieach the boys and young meu before they need alms, and before they are reduced to beggary ; and by training the minds aud teach ing them how to use aud preserve their bodies, and how to live useful and honest lives, to save them from the lower grades of misfortune so familiar in tbe utter helplessness of abject pov erty and disease aud want. This is accomplished by the institutions keep ing open attractive quarters, where libraries of useful books, current magazines and newspapers, innocent games of amusement,a gymnasium for exercise and fin development of the body, and night schools affording ad ditional opportunitos to such as have not had sufficient advantages* in ed ucation,are all accessible to whomsoev er will avail himself of them.without regard to creed or nationality. Lists j of decent boarding houses are kept, to which strangers are directed. Proper acquaintance and associations are formed and useful and moral instruc tion iuiparted. In other words, they help the helpless, would keep the in nocent, endeavor by placing clean ideals and experiences before the yoath to have them adopt them in their lives; they aid the uneducated to a limited hut practical education; this is all done "for the love of God and for the love of onr neighbor, in the catholic and universal sense,free from the stain of anything that is personal, private or selfish." This is lovely weather for drying apples. i ENGINEER TO AN- M THIS WEEK The Trustees Monday were notified hy Joseph L, Sweigard & Company of Philadelphia, who have the contract for installing the now sewer plant at the Hospital for the Insane here, that an engineer employed by the firm would be at the Hospital this week for the purpose of making the necessary surveys,that all the material has been ordered anil that this along with tools, &c., will arrive at Danville at almost any time. The method of disposing of the vast accumulation of sewage ou the Hos pital grounds involves an extensive plant, the construction of which will require a good deal of work. The con tract calls for the completion ot the plant by January Ist. The contractors will be ready to begin work in a very few days and probably will have use tor a good many workmen. The Sweigard method provides for laying now sewer lines leading to a receiving well about 1500 teet at the rear of the Hospital. The water from this point will be pumped into a dis tribution reservoir located on the high est point of land about 2500 feet at the rear of the building. From this point the sewage will flow by gravity through a series of pipes laid through out different seotious of the land for purposes of irrigation and fertilizing. The pumping machinery will consist of au air compressor of the duplex type located in the present boiler room of the Hospital. Will Not Take Fines. Dairy and Food Commissioner War ren has taken another step in his en deavor to wipe out the sale of adulter ated articles of food and drink in the State and has instructed his agents not to accept the payment of fines in set tlement of oase-*, but return the cases to court. The doctor is of the opiniou that the mere paymeut of a fine for violation ot the laws is not sufficient punish ment for the offender and will in the futore insist upon the imprisonment of tho person found selling adulterat ed articles. This order is directed chiefly against the adulterants of milk. The following statement announc ing his intention to put defendants be hind the bars for their misdeeds was given out by Dr. Warren ou Saturday. "I have instructed all the agents of the Pure Food Commission to settle no cases by the mere payment of a fine iu which the chemists report the pres ence of formaldehyde, boracic acid, injurious coal far dyes or other harm ful drugs. All defendants will be held for court and if evidence justifies, ev ery effort will bo niado to procure con viction and adequate punishment. "In two or three localities defend ers In uew cases have previously paid fines for the sale of milk found to con tain preservatives, especially form aldehyde. It is needless to say that particular efforts will he made to place the defendants behiud the bars. There is no excuse for the continued use of these preservatives, which im peril the lives of tender babes and the health of more robust adults " DeWitt is the Name.

A RBPREHBN SIBLE PRACTICE Some persons who avail themselves regularly of the advantages of the Y. M. C. A. reading room have fallen in to a reprehensible practice, which is causing a good deal of indignation about the building. This is nothing less than t.he taking of hooks out of the hinders and failing to return them as well as cutting clippings out of other publications which are permitt ed to remain in the rooms. It is hard to tell which of the above offenses causes the most annoyance. The reading room is a very popular resort and the publications provided are equally interesting to all. Several magazines have been surreptitiously taken out during the past two weeks and these are very much missed hy those frequenting the room. Again it is not at all pleasing in perusing one of the publications found on the table to run up against a mutilated page which often happens to be at the most interesting part ot the article. Charitable persons incline to the view that those who reinovo the books do not intend to keep them hut will return them hy and by. At the same time these rest under a grave suspicion and this article is inspired by the pro per authorities with the hope that it will suggest to the persons removing books the advisability of retorning them at the earliest moment thereby avoiding unnecessary embarrassment.

Butterfield, the Lime Ridge contractor, who left his home Tuesday morning and failed to return, was ex plained Saturday morning when Mrs. Bntterfield received a letter from him, dated at Rochelle, Illinois. In his letter he stated that he did not remember anything from the time he left the ollice of O. R. Weiss, of Bloomsburg, until he reached a point 100 miles west of Pittsburg, when some one spoke to him and asked him if he felt hotter. A stranger took an interest in him, and he remembered that ho had au uncle,a physician, who lived at Rochelle, Illinois,and to that town his newly found friend directed him. There the physician diaguosed his illness as being caused by a sunstroke, but in doing so, he did not know of Butterfield's previous illness, which was caused by catarrh of the stomach. His condition has now improved bat he will stay at Rocf.olle for some time Should lie not fully recover Mrs. Butterfield will go out to him in Il linois. Butterfield is a member of iiie Car penters and Joiner's organization of Berwick and also :>r the P. O. S. of A. and these organizations have offered to look after his return. The Death Penalty.

SONK BY THE RUSSIANS The sinking of the British steamship Knight Commander by tho Russian Vladivostok squadron, which caused such tension in the Russo British rela tions, possesses a special iuterest to the people of Danville, as the vessel destroyed contained a shipment of Danville stoves, which now with tlie rest of the ill starred cargo lie at the bottom of the Red' Sea. The shipment of Danville goods car ried by the Knight Commander con sisted of two large Beaver Furnaces consigned to the Methodist Mission at Tientsou, China. The shipment was made ftom New York through the Am erican Trading Oompauy and like all export shipments was insured. Russia to conciliate tho British gov ernment has promised to make repara tion if after a full investigation it is found that the commander of the Vlad ivostok squadron acted rashly aud that the Knight Commander in the strict sense contained no contraband of war. In that event the Russian Government will have to pay for the loss of these furnaces aud indemnity besides. The furnaces were shipped from New York by A. L. Ganfield, agent of the Danville Stove & Manufacturing Com pany, who has built up au extensive export trade. Shipments are very fre quently made to China, as well as to the Sandwich Islands, South Africa. Mexico aud the countries of South America.
