TROLLEY S
NANCE ADOPTED
l'he ordiuauce of the Danville and
Sunbury Street Railroad Company was
passed oil first reading by the Council
of Riverside Borough, Monday night
and today the members of Council and
representatives of the trolley company
will jointly go over the streets select
ing a route which may meet the ap
proval of both parties.
The Ordinances of the Danville and
Sunbury Street Railway and of the
Danville and Bloomsburg Electric
Railroad were hoth read at the meet
ing of the Riverside Council Monday
night. C. C. Yetter, President, and
W. A. Heller, Treasurer, of the first
named company, each made a] strong
plea for their line. The Danville and
Bloomsburg Electric Railroad was not
represented at the Council meeting.
The Ordinance of the Danville and
Sunbury Company was adopted with
out any opposition. The route named
in the ordinance however, was not
agreeable to all the members and in
order to get together on that point it
was decided that the representatives
of the trolley and members of Council
should go over the Borough together
this afternoon and agree UjOn the
thoroughfares to be used. The ordin
ance at its second reading will bo
amended to conform with the changes
thus made. The Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway agrees to begin
work in three months and to complete
the line in a year.
The right, of way to the Danville
and Sunbury Company has also been
granted through Gearhart township.
Leaving the river bridge the line will
follow Railroad avenue on the north
side of the Pennsylvania tracks to a
point at some distance brdow the sta
tion, where it will cross the railroad
either by an under grade or an over
head crossing.
The corps of surveyors reached Sun
' bury Taesday.
Constables and Canada Thistles.
Canada thistles just now are giving
Constable Young of the First Ward
considerable trouble. Of nil the un
sightly, useless and injurious weeds
known the Cauadi thistle is consider
ed the worst and the government is
detorminod it shall not be permitted
to thrive. The law makes it a part of
the Constables' duties to see to it that
the thistles are destroyed.
There are many places in the First
Ward as well as iu other parts of
town, mostly vacant lots, where Can
ada thistles grow in rank profusion.
The constable has already performed
a part of his duty by notifying the
owners of such lots that the weeds are
growing and that they must bo de
stroyed.
In very few instauces have the thistles
been cut down and the time is now
drawing nigh when the constable will
have to take the next step in the per
formance of his duty, which will be
to employ men anl have the weeds de
stroyed at the owner's expense.
Pulling Weeds on Golf Grounds.
That Caslle Grove is not to be de
spised as a factor among the establish
ments affording employment to our
citizens will be very clear when it is
stated that since spring Mr. Bennett
lias paid out at least one thousand dol
lars to small boys alone for pulling
weeds on his golf grounds.
The golf grounds must be in excellent
condition and one of the requisites
seems to he that they be kept clear of
weeds. The most troublesome growth
is the plantain, which infests the en
tire area and if is to eradicate these
that the boys are kept regularly em
ployed.
There are seldom less than some
thirty at work. Each boy is arined
with an instrument with which lie
severs the root of the plantain after
which the weed is easily extracted.
The boys, who may average some ten
years of age, are paid fifty cents per
day so that although the work is more
or less tiresome there is a big induce
ment for the little fellows to keep at
work. Some of the boys earn twelve
dollars per month ami upwards and
have worked regularly since spring.
The boys' pay roll this year will be a
big item in the expense account at
Castle Grove.
Frank Backer Visits Riverside.
Prank Bacher who was badly injur
ed by being thrown from a freight
train on the Susquehanna Division a
couple of weeks ago. is able to leave
the hospital and spent yesterday and
last night at his old home in River
side.
Prank came up on the early morning
train yesterday and putin a full day
with his old associates. He has lost
some flesh as the result of the terrible
ordeal ho passed through and his head
bears some ugly wounds which have
not as yet hoaled. but otherwise ho
seems little the worse for his accident,
It may be quite awhile before Frank
will be able to resume his positiou as
brakeman.
Will Camp at Hunter's Park.
Mrs. Crewitt, Miss Lydia Woods,
Miss Hartman, Mrs. Butler Edgar and
Miss Isabel Edgar removed to Hunt
er's Park yesterday where they will
occupy one of the cottages for theuext
few weeks.
INSPECTOR ON
THE GROUND
Work ou the Mausdale road, being
built under ttio act of April 15, 1903,
has now been in progress oue week
and a fair beginning has been made.
J. N. Smith of Altoona, inspector em
ployed by the State, is ou the ground
and will have the work under his eye
from now until its completion. Mr.
Smith and W U. Oakes, representa
five of the Maryland Construction
Company, are both stopping at. Hotel
Oliver.
The work has progressed far enough
to reveal both where the macadamiz
ed portion of the road will lie and the
system employed in the work.
With the assistance of a plow the
surface was takeu off approximately
lio the proper depth from the Borough
line to a point near the Gravel Hank
school house. The earth excavated
was carted away, a large portion of it
! being used iu constructing a sidewalk
along side the company barn and in
front of the row of housoa ou tlio same
side of the street west of that point.
The sidewalk for a long distance there
was very low and as a result of the
filling up is very much improved.
Tuesday the men were put to work
"trimming op." The width of the
rough excavation is eighteen feet and
along this, section by section, lines
are drawn to indicate the surface and
the sub grade. The lines,parallel, and
three in number, are so arranged as to
give the finished road bed the five
inch "crown" required by the specifi
cations.
The distance between the surfa e and
the bottom grade is eight inches,
which represents the space to he tilled
with crushed cinder, trap rock and
other material forming the macadam
or the roadway. For a long distance
at a time the top grade lies several
inches below the natural surface of
the road, whioh oonvoys a good idea
of the enormous amount of digging re
quired. It is only here and there that
the top grade is above the surface of
the old road, while at every point the
sub grade lies below the surface.
The macadamized strip eighteen feet
wide does not follow the windings of
the old road. Although it starts HI the
middle at the Borough line just be
yond the Company barn it lies on the
south side of the road and further on
it occupies the north side, finally leav
ing the road in part and cutting into
the gravel bank near the school house.
Twenty-five Italians were employed
yesterday. The "trimming up" pro
cess implies leveling otf and shaping
up the bottom as indicated by the
three parallel lines. Each man has a
matk on his shovel handle indicating
eight inches and lie measures with this
to determine when ho has dug deep
enough below the lines. The portion
of the road under way is being clean
ed up very rapidly and made ready for
the macadam.
NEVER TIRE OF IT.
Danville People Are Pleased to Show the
Gratitude They Feel.
People cured of lame, weak and ach
ing backs, kidney weaknesses and
urinary troubles, never tire of letting
others know about the remedy which
did it. Doau's Kidney Pills. The
cures are permanent cure, as people
who were cured years ago now testify.
Hete is a case of the thorough working
of Doau's Kidney Pills in Danville.
John B. Hollister, puddler, of Gil
Mill St., says: "Some years ago I
suffered from distressing kidney and
bladder weakness which had clung to
me for some time. I also was annoy
ed with severe pains right across my
loins so severe at times as to almost
prostrate me. The kidney secretions
were very annoying and painful and
too frequent, particularly at night. I
used a number of remedies but with
no apparent effect. Doan's Kidney
Fills were recommended to me and I
used them. The result was a perfect
cure. I can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills as being all that is claimed
for them."

Doctor Was Arrested.
Dr. Gray Merrit,a prominent physi
cian of Mehoopany, was arrested on
the charge of arson at Berwick Mon
day night and held under #l,r>oo bail,
in default of which ho was sent to
jail.
A house belonging to Mrs. Merrit
(taught fire on April 12th, hut was
quickly extinguished by the firemen.
Upon investigation of the origin large
quantities of excelsior soaked in oil
were found iu several of the rooms.
The house was built shortly before the
depression of the Berwick car works
and as the house has never been oc
cupied and is heavily insured it is
thought that Dr Merrit wished to get
rid of it.
At the time of tho tire Kdward Bar
guson, who had been hired to paiut
the building, was under suspicion and
when arrested admitted some very
damaging facts concerning Dr. Mer
rit. The company has conducted a
quiet investigation and waited until
they had secured enough evidence to
convict the guilty parties. As soon as
Dr. Merrit arrived in Berwick Mon
day afternoon he was arrested and tak
en before Justice Beishliue, where lie
asked a postponement of his trial until
he could procure counsel. He was held
in #1,500 bail for court.
DeWitt is the Name,
When you goto buy Witch Ha/.el
Salve look for the name DeWITT on
every box. The pure, unadulterated
Witch Hazel is used in making De-
Witt's Witch Hazel Salve,which is the
best salve in the world for cuts,burns,
bruises, hoils, eceznia and piles. The
popularity of DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve,due fo its many cures, has caus
ed numerous worthless counterfeits to
be placed on the market. The genuine
bears the name ot E. O. DeWitt
Co., Chicago. Sold by Paules & Co.,
Gosh and Co.
We may be thankful that this is not
a hot, dry August.
ELECTION FUR
COLONEL
Tlio commission of C. M. Clement,
an Colonel of the Twelfth Regiment,
National Guard of Pennsylvania, ex
pires on tho 1 Stli of this month.
Pursuant to instructions from the
Brigadier General commanding the
Third Brigade, an election will lie
held at the armory of Companies E
anil K, Soubory, on that date, to fill
the vacancy,by Col. C. B. Dougherty,
of Wilkesbarre, commander of the
Ninth Regiment.
Col. C. M. Clement is a candidate
for re-election and is almost sure to
retain his command, as it is not likely
that he will have any opposition. Up
to this time, no other officer in the
Regiment has been spoken of as a
leader, and the present indications are
that none will enter.
Col. Clement has risen to his pres
ent position, from the ranks, and is
popular with all the boys under him,
as well as the line officers who will
cast the ballots. To his untiring and
efficient leadership is due, to a large
measure, the high standing of the
Twelfth, which faot is attested by the
sentiment that is being expressed by
the guardsmen,in favor of his re-elec
tion.
The commissions of Lieut. Col. Bar
ber and other regimental officers also
expire soon, hut no dates have as yet
been fixed tor the elections to fill these
vacancies.
Light Plaut Will Need 400 Poles,
E. I. Van Doran, representative of
Rnmsey Electrical Manufacturing
Company, which is getting ready to
install an electric lighting plant in
this city, left Danville Monday tore
noon and will return today.
It has been ascertained that the
municipal light plant svill need four
hundred poles to accommodate its Her
vice. It is hoped that nothing like
this number will have to be erected in
the Borough considering the number
of poles that are already maintained
upon our streets. Every effort will be
made to gain consent of the telephone
and other companies to use their poles.
It was ascertained yesterday that
there are no less than six different
companies maintaining poles upon our
streets; these are as follows: The
Standard Electric Light Company,
United Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. American Telegtaph and Tele
phone Company, Philadelphia and
Reading, Pott-sville Telegraph Coin
panv anil Pennsylvania Telegraph
Company. Correspondence yesterday
was opened with each of the above
concerns to see how they would re
gard a proposition to utilize their
poles in installing a municipal light
ing plant. Replies are expected by
Thursday,the date of Mr. Van Doran's
return to Danville, after which work
on the new system will be in shape to
proceed.
Y. M. 0. A. NOTES.
Less than two years ago a V. M. C.
A. was formed in the City of Mexico
for city and railroad English-speak
ing men. It now has 54'J members,
having become by common consent the
general headquarters of the"Ameri
can colony" of the City of Mexico.
The Association occupies one of the
great old mansions of the city, which
is built about a hollow square, in
which is a garden with fountains and
fruit trees. The demand for member
ship on the part of the Spanish-speak
ing young men has become so gieat
that a branch is required for them
and has been organized with Hon.
Ramon Corrla, vice-president of the
Republic, as chairman of the advisory
board. Associated with him are many
of the prominent business and profes
sional men of the city, such as the
Governor of the Federal District, Ge
neral Powell Clayton, the American
Ambassador, a national senator, mem
bers of the National Congress, presi
dent of the American Bank,and traffic
manager of the National Railroad of
Mexico. The new Association expects
to begin work at once, and will equip
a building to cost SIO,OOO for head
quarters. This is the first Spanish
Association on the American conti
nent. The popularity of the Central
Branch is so great that the member
ship receipts for one mouth were f.155,
and the receipts from games, such as
bowling, |175.
Spent Pleasant Evening.
A number ot Irieuds were entertain
ed at the home of Mr and Mrs. Sam
uel Hartman, Cooper township, on
Saturday evening in honor of Mr.
llartman's <>lth birthday. Those ptes
ent were: Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Lore
man, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Ellis,sons
William and Maynard, Mr. and Mrs.
Oaniel Hort., Mr. and Mrs. M. W.
Hartman, and daughter Edith, Mrs.
Hannah Dewalt, Mrs. Lizzie Vankirk,
Miss Catharine Hartman, Ethel Hart
man, Carrie Loreman, Nelson Hart
man, William Hartman, Erankliu
Hendersliott, Clark Heinhach. Re
freshments were served.
The Death Penalty.
A little thing sometimes results ill
death. Thus a mere scratch,insignifi
cant cuts or puny boils have paid the
death penalty. It is wise to have
Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy.
It's the best Salve on earth and will
prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores,
Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 2f>o
at I'aules & Co's Urug Store.
Hereafter the Pullman Company will
issue no pasMH to the officials of the
Pennsylvania railrnad or any other
eastern trunk line, nor will any be is
sued to politicians. When President
Cassatt or any other official under him
travels he uses his private car or pays
for the Pullman privileges and will
continue to pay for berths and parlor
car seats until the close of the St.
Louis Fair. While there is no ill feel
ing between the railroads and the Pull
man management,the railroad officials
decided either to surren ler their an
nuals or notify the sleeping car com
pany that they would not present their
passes until the end of the exposition.
There seems fo have been a method in
the scheme for not ices were simultane
ously sent out that, trip passes for
Pullman favors would not he given
»ny employes of the companies. <
REVISITING IIS
EiRLY HOME
Hiram Bright of Benton County, In
diana, a native of Montour County, is
visiting old frienls in this section af
ter many year's absence. Mr. Bright,
who is a brother of our townsman,
Dennis Bright, was born on the home
stead farm near Mausdale and grew to
manhood in this vicinity.
In 1857, when still a young man, he
went west and of him it may he said
literally that he "grew up witli the
country." At the day of his emigra
tion all that section of the country
was still an unbroken prairie devoted
to grazing- He has lived to witness
all tlib various stages of development
following the days when the first set
tiers began to pour in. Today instead
of the illimitable prairie there is a suc
cession of flourishing farms and towns.
Mr. Bright himself is a prosperous
farmer and stock raiser.
During his boyhood Mr. Bright at
tended school in Danville among his
companions being a number of our lead
ing citizens who still survive. Many
changes have occurred since be left
this section. Maus' furnace, the Chu
laskey furnace aud many other old in
dustries scarcely ever head of at the
present day, were running and doing
a good business when he was about
Danville.
Mr. Bright, who has become ac
oustomed to Western enterprise, does
not think that Danville has kept pice
with the general development of the
country even if its course in certain
periods did not seem to be backwards.
He is glad, however, to learu that a
policy of improvements has been ad
opted and he welcomes the now era
that seems about to dawn on bis na
tive town.
Pomona Grange's Annual Outing.
The annual outing of Pomona Grange,
No. 80, which was held with Valley
Grange at the farm of J. A. Merrill
near Mausdale on Friday, was attend
ed by some, three hundred and fifty
people aud was a success in every res
pect.
Several fine addresses were deliver
ed. Among the speakers in addition
to National Grange Master Jones, State
Grange Master Hill and Deputy State
Secretary of Agriculture Martin, was
Hon. William T. Greasy of Columbia
County, who as a practical farmer and
one closely in touch with the affairs
of State government is at ways much
sought after hy agriculturists for an
expression of opinion not only on mat
ters of farming hut also of legislation.
The speaking took place in the orch
ard where a speakers' stand ami seats
for the audience Wbre erected. A piano
was also installed under the trees.
Miss Emma Gearhart of this city ren
dered several solos. The grange music
was rendored by Exchange Grange. W.
J. Kogers of this city gave several rec
itations, which were much enjoyed.
A bountiful dinner was served by Val
ley Grange.
The picuio was preceded with a short
fifth degree session, Mr. am) Mrs. Will
iam Leigbow, Mrs. Clark Boone and
son being obligated in the Fifth De
gree.
Gutters Must Be Kept Clean.
There is a great deal of complaint
made to Council on the score of neg
lected and choked up gutters, which
are not only unsightly but cause an
overflow on the stroets in time of
hoavy rain.
There seems to be a doubt in tho
minds of Home people whether the
care of the gutters devolves upon the
Borough or the property owners.
The matter was up before Council at
its last meeting when it was decided
that Council would look to property
owners to keep the gutters clear of
grass and to maintain them in a neat
and presentable condition. The Street
Commissioner was instructed to see to
it that the order is enforced.
Mr. Gibson called attention to the
fact that some portions of Railroad
street north of Walnut street is with
oot a gutter. Drainage is consequent
ly imperfect at those points aud the
question to settle was upon whom it
devolved to dig a gutter—tho Borough
or the owners of the properties.
The matter was left in the hands of
the Street Commissioner who was in
structed to investigate carefully and if
he found gutters indispensable at the
places in question to have them dug
without delay.
Ohurcli Street Bridge.
It seems likely that the canal biidge
at Church street, which is in a worn
out and unsafe condition, may be torn
down in a short time ami replaced hy
a culvert as was done on Mill street.
The I). li. & W. Railroad Company,
present owners of tfie canal,have been
apprised of the bridge's unsafe condi
tion and Council will now propose
that the bridge be removed and that
the ground excavated on Mill street
be utilized in constructing a culvert
to take its place.
The Borough will contribute the
ground aud haul it to tho spot free of
cost, merely asking tho railroad com
pany as its share of the work to lay
up the walls. The stone in the abut
ments and in the wing walls of the
bridge, it is held, wilt be ample for
the stone woik of the culvert, so that
the only expense that the railroad com
pany will be under will be cost ot
labor
A Sweet Breath,
is a never failing sign of a healthy
stomach When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There is no
remedy in the world equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure for curing indigestion,
dysp psia and all stomach disorders.
Mrs Mary S. Crick, of White Plains,
Ky. , writes: "I have been a dyspeptic
for years; tried all kiuds of remedies
but continued to grow worse. By the
use of Kodol I began to improve at
once, and after taking a few bottles
am fully restored in weight, health
and strength and can eat whatever I
like." Kodol digests what you eat

A Great and Good School.
We have just received the catalogue
of the literary Institute and State
Normal School at Bloomsburg, Pa ,
and have been greatly interested in its
contents We note that emphasis if
first laid on the preparation of young
people for the professiorr of teaching
(See pages 8 and '.I. Also pages 18 to
24 inclusivt). A practice school if
maintained in which those preparing
to teach, have daily experience under
the supervision of critic teachers in
all branches ot the public school car'
riculum. At the sarre time, instruc
tion in Academic Studies is given bj
College and University trained speci
1 alists, so that thorough scholarship as
well as rare skill in teaching is acquir
ed.
Commercial Courses (pages 15 anc
28), Music Courses (pages 11, 25*, 30
and courses preparing for the variooi
Colleges, including the Medical Col
leges are also maintained, (pages 10,
24, to 27). All this with the pupil
under the best school and moral in
fluences, makes the Bloomsburg school
the best fitting school to be found any
where. The catalogue is interesting
reading, giving as it does the meant
and methods of an up-to-date school.
The marvel of it is,how much superior
advantages can be offered at such low
rates. Send for a catalogue. It is
worth having whether you expect tc

Regimental Trophy.
Mt. Gretna. Aug. 10.—The First
regiment yesterday captured the regi
mental trophy match hero by making
a total of 358 points. The Twelfth
regiment squad ranked twelfth, with
a score of 315.
A steady breeze blowing over the
range retarded shooting somewhat,but.
the results were very gatifying,never
theless, as there was a marked improve
ment over the other years in team
work, and the averges throughout go
far to bear out promises of exceptional
records during the week.
The regimental and cavalry skirm
ish practice matches occupied yester
day afternoon, and it was nearly sun
down before the last run was made.
Silhouette figures were used as tar
gets instead of thy old regulation cir
cular ones, and the innovation was
pu/./.ling enough to cause poor scores.
The figures are similar to those used
I for some years in the regular army.

CITIZENS MEETING
AT RIVERSIDE
A citizens' meeting wan held in the
Borough of Riverside Thursday night
to consider the rival claims of the Dan
ville and Bloomxhurg Electric Kail
road Company and the Danville aud
Sunbury Street Railway Company,
both of which desire to build their
lines on the streets of that borough.
The meeting was held in the first floor
of the public school building, which
was well tilled with representative
citizens. In the assemblage were W.
P. Pascoe, F. C. Angle, Esq , Calviu
E. Arner and others representing the
Danville and Bloomsburg line aud C.
<J. Yetter, W. A. Heller, and O. P.
Hancock, officials of the Danville and
Suubury Street Railway.
The meeting was called to order by
W. W. Kimbel, president of the Bor
ough Council. Dr. A. T. DeWitt was
chosen Chairman and John Hinckley,
Esq., Secretary.
The object of the meeting being stat
ed remarks were invited,the chairman
explaining that the people River
side want a trolley and the only point
on which there might hinge any ques
tion was which of the two companies
applying might give the best service
and build its liue first.
C. O. Yetter spoke relating to the
road he represents, explaining that a
charter was obtained on July 14th and
giving an outline of the route, which
leads from the Hospital tor the In
saue.down East Market street to Mill,
thence to the river bridge, through
South Danville to the borough of Riv
erside, through the Borough to De-
Witt s Park, beyond which point it
will proceed to Suubury. The right
of way through the township, he de
clared, had been well takeu care of
and that what was desired now was
that the right of way be granted
through thu Borough. His company
is anxious to begin the construction of
the line this tall aud he stated that if
the right of way was granted now
"the picks would go into the ground
before the middle of next week." His
company had an ordinance prepared
and it was present at the meeting. He
was willing to raad it, he said, but
would do so only on condition that
the Danville and Bloomsburg Company
would submit Its ordinance at the same
time.
Councilman Kimbel approved of
reading the ordinances, if both com
panies were prepared, as he said, by
that means, the citizens could hear
what each had to otter what streets were
desired, etc. ; this would afford plenty
of time for disoussion so that Council
at its next meetiug could take action
in conformity with public opinion.
Mr. Pascoe speaking for the Danville
and Bloomsburg liue explained, that
having the natare of the meoting in
mind he had not thought it uecessary
to briug the ordinance along. He as
sured the citizens, however, that the
ordiuauoe would be fair in every re
spect and would please everyone.
Under the circumstances neither or
dinance was read.
Charles Chalfant, Esq , made an
oloquent address dwelling upon the
benefits of steam and trolley roads and
the part they played in the develop
ment of the North Branch Valley.
Cther addresses followed tending to
reveal what each company had to show
in the way of good service, and whai
its prospects are for building the line
at an early day.
The Council will take action at itf
next meeting.
