MAS. A. SiDLER'S
INTERESTING LETTER
The following letter from Charles A
Sidler, Esq , ot Sunbury, who is at
present at Etzatlan, Mexico, to his
brother Register aud Recorder W. A.
Sidler of this city, will prove of in
terest to many of our citizens. Mr.
Sidler is deeply interested in the Am
paro Mining Company,a heavy copper
producing concern. There are 40,000
shares of Auiparo miuing stock held
by Dauville residents audit may prove
an interesting fact to know that this
stock which originally brought 25
cents a share is now selling at 50 cents.
The letter reads as follows:
Dear Brother:—We arrived in Guad
alajara on the Ist, tired and dirty
travelers, as we had been traveling
five consecutive days aud nights.
After attending to some business in
Guadalajara we came to Etzatlan on
the evening of the 3rd, or one week
ago. Mr. Ferdinand Sustersic, our
new General Manager, met us at Dur
augo, and he aud his wife were of the
party during the rest of the journey.
Last Sunday we spent hero at the
offices aud saw the employes paid oft,
which took about all of the forenoon.
Early Monday morning we started for
the mines,going up over the new road,
and arrived there in about two hours.
Clarence Voris rode up in the covered
wagon, but I preferred togo upou
horseback, aud rode with Mr. Suster
sio.
After dinner wo all went into the
mine and spout nearly all the after
noon there. Mr. Sustersic went all
through the different woikiugs under
the guidauce of Mr. Callahan, Mine
Superintendent, but Mr Voris and I
did uot care to climb Mexican ladders,
so we went down in tho ore hoist and
met them at tho bottom of the shaft
when they reached there. Mr. Suster
sic is a man of few words, but after
his examination of the mine he said
that it was magnificent, one of the
finest that he had ever seen. He said
that it is a rare thing to find a mine
in which the side walls are so clearly
defined as in theSauto Domingo. They
shipped (57 cars of ore during the
month of August, ami are now ship
ping about forty tous per day. The
San Juan shaft is 410 feet deep aud
there is not a stick of timber in it.
The fact is there is no timber iu the
mine as tho walls are so firm they do
not require it. Mr. Callahau is un
stinted iu his praise of the mine. He
says that he has examined most of the
best mines in Mexico for different peo
ple, some of which sold for anywhere
from |5,000, 000, to $8,000,000 Mexi
can money, and of them all there is
but one better mine in this country
than the Santo Domingo. He thinks
that our company has a great future
before it, but that the change in tho
management was made none too soon,
as many things were neglected by the
old management.
In Mr Sustersic the company has
oue of tho best metallurgists and en
gineers iu this country and under his
guidauce our company is going to
forge to the front very rapidly. With
us the only question is how soon will
we bo able to pay dividends. The
Santo Domingo has tho reputation all
through this country of being one of
the great mines of Mexico, and it cer
rainly could not have gotten such a
reputation unless it produced the ore.
One man in Guadalajara told me that
ho has known the mine for the last
twenty-five years,and that it is a very
fine mine. We are having the rainy
season here at present, and as I ride
along iu the cars in tho valleys aud
look out over the fields of corn, it is
not unlike a ride through the country
there. But when we pass through
some immense ranch, where there are
fields of two and three hundred acres
one realizes that he is uot in Pennsyl
vania at least. Last Saturday on our
way here we passed one field in which
1 counted team of oxen ploughing;
hut not as we plough iu our country.
They simply scratch the ground
around here. The land is now being
prepared for wheat. They have plenty
of rain this seasou aud the crops are
fine. Here you can see corn, sugar
cane aud tobacco raised side by side.
Mr. Voris expects to start for home
one week fro/n today but I shall re
main here until October Ist and go in
to every detail of our business as re
quested by Judge Paxson.
Your brother,
('HAS. A. SIDLER.
Wall Strengthened.
A much needed improvement is now
rapidly nearing completion at the
Water Works. For some time past the
surface water from the street has been
percolating through the front wall of
the pump room, carrying with it
quantities of dirt and sand.
It was decided to make an excava
tiou in front of the building and put
a coat of cement on tho wall. The
efficiency of cement used in this cap
acity was clearly illustrated by the
way iu which the cemented rear wall
of the pump room withstood the rav
ages of last winter's flood.
The excavation which is 20 feet deep
and 30 feet in length has been com
pleted. All that remains to be done
is to put on the coat of cement, and
fill up the trench. The work is in
charge of Superintendent P. J. Keefer
WELL EQUIPPED
LABORATORY
For soveral years past it has been
the idea of the authorities in charge
of our public schools to institute a
laboratory for the practical demonstra
tion of chemical and physical phenom
ena. This year it was decided to fit
out oue of the smaller rooms connected
with the high school as a laboratory
where the students in the chemistry
and physics classes could perform ex
perimeuts conuected with their work.
The laboratory, which is now com
pleted, accommodates eight students.
It is thoroughly modern in every re
spect both as to workmanship and
equipment. Lockers and several
drawers are provided for each student,
in addition to which there is a full
line of Bunsen burners, beakers, test
tubes aud chemicals.
The room is provided with desk-
I chairs where the students can take
I lecture notos or do other writing,
j Nearly all the colleges and univer
sities in the country demand that an
entering student shall have had at
least an elementary course in exper
imental chemistry and physics. /\s a
result many of the high schools in the
larger cities have installed laborator
ies. It is gratifying to know that
those who havo charge of public educa
tion in Danville are not allowing our
schools to tall below the staudard set
by other progressive institutions.
Justice Dalton'B Busy Day.
Justice of the Peace James Dalton
has been quite busy for several days
aud during that time passed judgment
on four cases, two of disorderly con
duct aud two of assault and battery.
The two cases of disorderly conduct
were trivial and were disposed of by
the payment of the usual fines aud
costs. In one case of assault and bat
tery the complaiuaut did uot appear.
The other case of assault and tiattery
proved to be a fistic mix-up of two
Polish families residing ou Northum
berland street.
Mrs. Joseph Noblitz aud Mrs. Maine
were really the contestants, the alter
cation taking place early in the morn
ing while the women were purchasing
the daily milk supply.
Mr. Noblitz, however, was the de
fendant in the case,his efforts as peace
maker resultiug iu a charge of assault
and battery being perferred agaiust
him by Mr. Maine. Owing to the pres
sure of other business Justice Dalton
could not hear the case until four
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Noblitz
meanwhile waiting his turn in the
lock-up. Neither defendant or pro
secutor could speak English, aud
though Mrs. Annie Heimbach acted as
interpreter, the situation was most
trying. Noblitz after much trouble
was made to understand that he would
have to pay $5.80 for the privilege of
acting as referee, which ho sensibly
did.
A civil actiou was brought by W.
H. Conrad against Mrs. W'aguer of
West Mahoning street yesterday. The
prosecutor alleged that the sum of .$l5O
was due him iu wages,he having been
employed on Mrs. Wagner's farm.
The defendant stated that the agree
ment was that Conrad was to work
for his board. The Justice reseived
his decision.
Continental Picnic Next Saturday.
Hunter's Park will close the most
successful seasou in its history with
the big Continental Hose Company's
picnic Saturday. The park this year
has had a most unique list of diver
sions ai d has been visited by thou
sands of people.
Picnics have been very numerous
during the past summer and have in
cluded many parties from a distance.
As a camping resort it has had a won
derful seasou the.cottages, tents, etc.,
being occupied during the entire sum
mer. The spacious pavilion also has
been the scene of many enjoyable
affairs, the dances averaging about
three a week.
The Continental picnic next Satur
day promises to be a great event. The
Committee is doing everything possible
to show the visitors a good time.
Theie will be music throughout the
day aud evening. Prof. Metberell's
orchestra has been engaged and with
good weather the dancers should havo
an enjoyable time.
Various other attractions are being
arranged for and refreshments at rea
sonable rates will be sold ou the
grounds. Everybody is invited to eu
oy the last big picnic of the season.
Little Work for Truant Officer.
The pupils of the public schools are
making good records for themselves
iu attendance this year. So far but
few cases of truancy have been report
ed. The efficiency of Truant Officer
Young iu the past has made his ser
vices almost indispensable. So far this
year, however, nothing more than the
moral influence of his presence has
been necessary to keep the refractory
pupils in regular attendance.
The total number of pupils attend
ing the Borough schools this year is
unusually large, there being 1250 en
rolled. One huudred aud forty of these
are in the High School.
Died at Philadelphia.
Rev. (J. N. Mr; Williams, a former
well known resident of Elynhurg, died
at a Philadelphia hospital, Tuesday.
The remains will bo brought to Elys
burg for burial. Services will he held
in the Elysbarg Presbyterian Church

Old Time Print Dead.
PHILADELPHIA,Sept 2r —Daniel
J King,a veteran printer of this city,
and one of the founders of the Nation
al Gua'd of Pennsylvania, is dead,
aged 84. In 18:51), Mr King was one
of a party of citizens who went to

OPERA HOUSE
IMPROVEMENTS
Tlio season of 11(04-05 at the Danville
Opera House will be opened ou Sept
ember 39th. by tlie well known Mur
ray & Mackoy Company. The old fav
orites will play a three nights engage
ment.
The patrons of the theatie will be
niOMt agreeably surprised at the many
important changes that have been made
since the bouse closed last season. All
alterations as recommended by the
committee have been fully complied
with along with the establishment of
many modern improvements.
An up-to-date (ire escape has already
been erected ou the north side of the
building, with two exits; one leading
from the balcony and the other from
the dress ci-cle. Another fiie escape,
easy of descent, with wide landings,
will bo erected on the Mahoning street
side of the building. Thero will be
four exits onto this stairway. These
exits along with the front and rear
passageways will make it possible to
dismiss a capacity audience within
two minutes without crowding or re
sorting to haste. This estimate is bas
ed on a former record of four minutes
when one of the largest audiences In
the history of the theatre passed oat
of the front doors on Mill street in
that time. The exits are all plainly
marked and are very easy of access.
Another noteworthy improvement is
the installing of electricity ou the
stage. This method of lighting will
make it possible to give a performance
in metropolitan style.
A complete change in scenery is an
other improvement that will aid great
ly in the production of the different
plays. The new scenery is of modern
construction and will not be worked
in grooves as formerly. It is dropped
from the loft and under this system
long waits between acts will be a
thing of the past. The new scenery is
very handsome and includes every
thing required in a first class theatre.
Companies carrying their own scenic
mounting can now use all drops, set
pieces, etc. The width ot the stage,
which was formerly 3<5 feet, has been
increased to 12 feet. In the past many
companies weie unable to hang some
of their best scenes on account of the
narrowness of the stage. As the wid
est drops are never more than 40 feet
everything carried by any show can
be j)laced on the local stage.
A handsome asbestos curtain is also
to be hung before the house opens.
This curtain will work straight up and
down and can be dropped in a few sec
onds. The old style roller curtain has
been entirely eliminated. The dress
ing rooms have been made easy of ac
cess and everything done for the con
venience and comfort of the players.
With the many improvements it has
baen possible to book some strong at
tractions. Many oil favorites will
again visit Danville, among them be
ing Mildred Holland and Katharine
Willard. Wyle's orchestra has been
engaged for the season and will in
clude nine of Danville's best music
ians.

Patient Escapes From Hospital.
A female patient whose name is
Benningham, escaped from the State
Hospital at this place Monday after
noon and before she was captured and
returned to the institution gave her
pursuers no end of trouble.
The woman in some manner seemed
a key to a door leading from the ward,
in which she was confined, to a corri
dor and slipped out of the building
unnoticed.
It was not long, however,before the
patient was missed and four of the
female attendants started in pursnit.
A young man who was flshiug a short
distance abovo the hospital informed
the nurses that the woman had start
ed east over the D. L. & VV. tracks.
This young man joined in the chase,
the party walking to a point above the
D. L. & W. depot at Catawissa before
they caught up with the patient.
As soon as she discovered her pursu
ers she showed fight and hurled stones
at them. They finally managed to get
her as far as the depot. Here she again
became frantic and attempted to board
every trolley car that passed, saying
she wanted togo to Berwick where
she claimed to have a sister living.
The patient remained docile for a
time and inquired the time of the next
train to Berwick. Upon being told
that there was no train for three or
four hours sho again made a dash
up the track closely followed by the
attendants. They again closed aroond
her but the woman fought so desper
ate ly that it was necessary to secure
the assistance of the D. L. & W. sec
tion crew before she could be subdued.
The attendants in their hasty de
parture from the Hospital had forgot
ten to provide themselves with funds
and until the <> :05 train east arrived,
were in quite an embarrassing posi
tion. Another one of the female at
tendants arrived oil this train with
funds to take the party back and the
patient was induced to return to the
Hospital without further trouble, the
party arriving on the 9:15 train.
The patient is about 45 years of age
and until the time of her escape had
given the attendants but little trou
ble.
What's in a Name.
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. O.
DeWitt C<> , of Chicago, discovered
some years ago how to make a salve
fiom Witch Hazel that is a specific
for Piles. For blind, bleeding, itch
ing Piles, eczema,cuts,
hums, bruises and all skin diseases,
DeWitt's Salve has no enqal. This has
given rise to numerous worthless
counterfeits Ask for DeWitt's —the

BAND SHOWS MARK
ED IMPROVEMENTS
Muoh favorable comment has been
hoard ou the excellent concerts given
by Stoes' band during tbe past montb.
The band is showing a marked im
provement along all lines and with
the proper interest and a good attend
ance at rohearsals, this organization
will improve very uiuch.
Arthur Foulk, the conductor, is a
most pains-taking aud conscientious
bandmaster. He has had a wide ex
perience in his work.
The concert given at South Danville
on Friday evening was a real musical
treat and was muoh enjoyed. The pro
gram wa9 made up of meritorious num
bers and they were reudered in an art
istic manner.
This organization should be support
ed in every way possible. A sood baud
is necessary in a community, aud
affords diversion and amusement to
everybody. Members of a baud in the
smaller towus usually have a thankless
task. They devote muoh of their time
to rehearsals aud gratuitous playiug
and if public appreciation is not shown
they have nothing for their trouble.
In many towns work is secured for
masioiauß as an incentive for thom to
locate in a community while expenses
such as the baud room reut and music
are met by popular subscription. Mem
bers of Stoes' baud have reoeutly been
compelled to pay room reut out of
their own pockets.
Such incidents have a tendency to
discourage an organization and under
the circumstances Stoes' baud deserves
great credit for the showing made.
Several plans are under way to raiso
funds for the baud and they should be
liberally supported.
BAVE YOUR HEALTH!
It is Worth Saving and Some Danville
People Know How to Save It.
There aro some people who take
their lives in their hands by continu
ing to neglect their kidneys when
they know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for an
immense amount of suffering aud 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 aud permanent
ly cured by the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. Here is the statement of a Dan
ville citizen who has reclaimed good
health by the use of this remedy:
John James. puddler,of 11 Sycamore
St., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills were
of immense benefit to mo in a case of
backache aud kidney complaint some
years ago. I had suffered for months
with [lain aud lameness in my hack
aud used all kiuds of remedies but re
ceived no permanent benefit. I was
becoming discouraged but wiien Doan's
Kidney Pills were recommended to me
by Levi AUeger, I coucluded to try
them I got a box and used them as
directed. The result was far beyoud
my expectations. They cured me and
1 have had no return of tbe trouble."
Plenty more proof like this from
Danville people. Oall at druggists and
ask what their customers report,

Eel Beason Nearly Over.
The eel running season is now noar
iug an end though many are still being
caught and offered for sale. Last Fri
day aud Saturday nights several hun
dred iishermeu wore on the river all
of them operatiug with more or less
success.
The season for oel catching has about
reached its height and will soon
be practically over as few will be
runuing The rise in the river during
the last few days enabled many eels
to get away or the oatches would have
been heavier. The price for the fish
has been high but so great has been
the demand that it was necessary to
place advance orders iu older to secure
them.
The most successful way to catch
eels is by meaus of the fish wall for
which a license is necessary. The
Danville fishermen havo boon making
big hauls with the outline and other
methods, though further up the river
quite a few licenses have been taken
out for fish walls.
Wyle's Orchestra Reorganized.
Wyle's orchestra last week reorgan
ized for the ooming season and its
membership includes the best musi
cians in Danville.
This organization, while accepting
all engagements,is one that pjts forth
the best efforts in coucert and solo
work. The musio played is of a stand
ard order, including compositions be
tween the "popular" and classic
grades. Two rehearsals a week aro
held, the idea among its members be
ing to advance along artistio lines and
to seoure a general knowledge of a
high grade of music.
The orchestra possesses a fine library
and is an organization that strives
hard to interpret conscientiously. A
number of COL certs will bo given dur
ing the winter aud the orohestra will
be a feature at the theatre during the
season.
September Court on the 26th.
The September term of oourt in this
county will convene on Monday, 2<>th
inst. There has been no trial by jury
in Montour County since last Febru
ary. Court in June was practically no
oourt at all. At the last moment it
was discovered that there wore no
criminal oasis for trial and that the
oivil suits were all continued.
Notioes therefore were sent out to the
traverse jurors requesting them not to
appear at oourt. The grand jurors
were permitted to attend, but they
wound up the little business oil hand
in a single day.
The remarkable part of it all is that
there is little more business on hand
now. after the lapse of six mout'
than there was in June, some t'
months after February term
criminal c ises are exoeptiona'
there beiug but two prisouer

MAY LOSE
HIS EYESIGHT
William Kruui, who resides near
Grovauia, uiet with a bad accident ou
Saturday as the result of which he is
likely to lose his eyesight.
Krum is employed at the Mauser
lime kiln and was blasting with
powder on Saturday morning. He was
preparing a blast aud was putting in
the last charge ot powder wheu it ex
ploded prematurely. Krum was
throwu a distance of ten feet iuto the
quarry.
The injured man was at ouce taken
home and Dr. I. G. Biermanof Blooms
burg summoned. His face was found
to be burned almoHt beyond recogni
tion. The hair on the front part of his
head was burned off aud his eyes were
swollen shut. The sight of his right
eye is totally destroyed and there is
but little hope that the left eye can
be saved.
The hole in which the blast was be
ing prepared had been used a little
while before and was still hot. It is
thought that this caused the explos
ion.
Krum is 38 years of age aud has a
wife and three children.
A Power For Good.
The pills that are potent in their
action and pleasant iu effect are De-
Witt's Little Early Risers. W. S.
Philpot. of Albany, Ga., says: "Dur
ing a bilious attack I took one. Small
as it was it did me more good than
calomel, blue mass or any other pill I
ever took and at the same time the
effect was pleasant. Little Early Ris
ers are certainly an ideal pill." Sold

Some Advice From Snnbury.
For so long a period that the mem
ory of the oldest inhabitant "runneth
not to the contrary," the principal
thoroughfare iu Danville has beeu
known as Mill street; but sinco it is
beiug paved with brick the delighted
burghers are getting so stuck up about
it that they have become dissatisfied
with the old name of the street and
are talking about rechristening it.
Just hear how rhapsodioally one of
the looal papers speaks of the old street
with its new brick habiliment: " Wheu
paving is completed and the eye runs
down over the cleauswept surface be
tween the lines of trim curbing the
effeot will be exceptionally fine aud
Mill street will bo a thoroughfare
which iu poiut of beauty will have
few parallels iu any of the towns the
size of Danville."
With such a view of it.it may bo a
pardonable weakness on tlie part of the
citizens to want to drop the old ple
beiau name and substitute something
more fanciful aud sonorous. But if
it is not an intrusion,ouradvice would
be togo slow in this matter. There is
a good deal in a name, Shakespeare to
the contrary notwithstanding, and the
associations of street nomenclature
should not be too readily discarded.
Something would be wanting iu Dau
ville if the old historic and familiar
name of Mill street were missing.
Follow the example of Boston, where
the homoly name of Milk street is re
tained aud cherished as one of its most
prominent thoroughfares. So appar
ently inxiguificaut a name as Thread
needle street is the centre of the finan
cial business of Loudon and the local
ity of the Bank of England. The Lou
douers would not do so profane a
thing as to cliauge the name of that
street, nor would they give any other
appellation to Rotten Row, a name
that is applied to their most fashion
able thoroughfare.
At all events, if the Danvilliaus
should change the name of Mill street
wo hope they won't fall iuto the
vulgarism of calling it a Boulevard.
This dissertation may look like stick
ing our nose iuto other people's busi
ness, but wo have a feeling for Dan
ville. —Sunbury Itom.

SHALL THE NAME
Bc_ CHANGED
Mill street as far as paved HIIOWS up
admirably aud the citizens of Danville
are more tlian delighted with the iin -
proveineut. With the trees cut dowu,
the caual bridges removed aud the
street leveled to conform with the es
tablished grade a most charming vista
is afforded to the eye from almost auy
poiut along the long thoroughfare.
When paving is completed and the eye
runs dowu over the clean-swept, sur
face between the lines of trim curbing
the effeot will be exceptionally fine
and Mill street will be a thoroughfare
which in point of beauty will have
few parallels in any of the towns the
size of Danville.
There is not an hour of t,he day but
some one is heard to remark upon the
beauty of the street. Not a few be
come very enthusiastic and think that
the old name "Mill street," is no
longer good enough aud that the pav
ed Htreet should bo roohristened to con
form with new oouditions. The home
ly title of 'Mill street," they declare,
might have been appropriate enough
iu the past, but that now a name
should bo selected more in harmony
with the conception of a business
thoroughfare beautified as ours is to
be.
The choice of a name might bo safe
ly left with Council, which within a
recent period reohriatened another
street of this town, whose title had
become obsolete, the name. "Rough
aud Keady street," being changed to
" Irou street." _*-*!!
