POWERFUL FACTORS IN CONTEST State Chairman Bolee Penrose Ex presses Appreciation of the Valu able Aselitancs of Hie Journallatlo Allies. "The newspapers will be a power In this flght; we want them to thorough ly enlighten the people as to the issues, and we need have no fear as to the re mits. M Thus spoke Chairman Cortel you. of the Republican national com mittee, at the outset of the present campaign. The editors ot the Re publican newspapers throughout the country have certainly been a great factor In this contest. The Republl editors and publishers in Pennsylv. •specially have been co-operating tlvely with the party organization, State Chairman Penrose has on a. than one occasion expressed his appre ciation of the assistance given him by Republican newspapers since the open ing of the canvass. Following a. some timely com ments on the Issues of the campaign from the press of this State: Fair-bank's Latter. While the letter of acceptance < fJJ. Fairbanks (8 not to long and therefore not BO exhaustive as that D( President Roosevelt'i It ably «up gilementa that strong presentation of Republican principles. Mr. Falrhank's letter states clearly what the Republican party has done In maintaining peace with all the world while at the same time advanc ing all the Interests of the United Btate9; In maintaining protection Which guards and develops our Indus tries, and at the same time Increasing Irade relations by means of treaties of reciprocity; In proceeding against trusts by enforcing; laws which the late Democratic art ministration re garded as Ineffective; in establishing the gold standard; In dealing broadly and fairly with the Filipinos, and in reclaiming lands of the west. Mr Fairbanks presentt these Issues eo clearly and so forcibly that they cannot be met by the opposition.— Harrlaburg Telegraph. A Party of Achievements. Those who never do things run few chances of making mistakes, never lay themselves open to criticism for any thing but their Inactivity and their presumed Inability to accomplish things. Unable to shine In the direc tion of achievement, these apply their efforts and whatever activity they can •tir up to criticism of those who are really accomplishing something and to «»r dreams of how much better they might nerve If they were given the chance. These are facts as applicable to political parties as to Individuals These conditions have brought about the understanding that the Republi can party Is the party of action; the Democratic one of carping criticism. It Is a noteworthy fact that the Ainerl can people prefer activity and achieve ment and the party In which these features are prominent Is Just natu rally the most popular.—Doylestown Repultlli an Deeds of Today Count Now. The American electorate lias none past the tir»i«• when a party is judged by tradition; iln* voters ask fur te ■ults Tin traditions of the old Demo cratic party nie dear to the memory of all L)enio< r:it ■ The deeds of the Democratic pnrty of recent years and the promises of the Democratle parly of today do not appeal to tli«» best Judgment of thinking men. President Roosevelt's letter of ac ceptance turns the searchlight of truth, reason and logic upon the Insta bllltv of the Democracy's attitude to day, and every voter ought to Bee his way clear to read hla ballot and put his mark at the head of the Re publican column. —Meadvllle Tribune. Democrats Acknowledge Their Errors. On every groat issue, on every great national policy and doctrine, the Dem ocratic party acknowledges that It has been wrong, and that the Republican party has been right. This acknowl edgement Is partly sincere and honest and party dishonest and a matter of expediency. The party is still a Free Trade party and a Free Silver party, but to win, It goes before tho country with a reluctant concurrence in Repub lican policies. Why then, voters of 1904, not cast your votes for the candidates of the Republican party, whose splendid achievements are acknowledged even by the Democrats. —Pottsville Miners Journal ALEXANDER WAITE VISITS DANVILLE Alexander Waite a former well known resident of this city will return to the Soldiers' Home at Hampton Roads, Virginia, today after a visit with rel atives and friends in Danville. Mr. Waite is one of our old soldiers who can point with great pride to a long and faithful servioe. Prior to the Civil War he eulisted as a marine and was assigned to duty on board the United States Frigate Minnesota, un der the command ot Captain Dupont. This vessel couveyed the American Ambassador William R. Heed of Phil adelphia to China. The boat cruised about the coast of China and Japau for a while before returning to the United States. On his return Mr. Waite re-enlisted and was assigned to the U. S. boat Mystio. This ship was under the coru rnaud ot Captain Leßoyauddid patrol duty for two years along the coast of Africa. Mr. Waite returned to Amerioa in 18(51 aud eulisted for duty in the Civil War at Milton, Pa , joining Co. H, sth regiment Penna, Reserve Volun teers under the commaud of Captain John M. Cleary. Mr. Waite served three years in this compauy and participated in ten bat tles among them being the battles of "Bull Run," "Falmouth," "Fred ericksburg," "Hampton Roads,' "Newport News"and seven days in front of Richmond. At the latter plaoe he was twice wounded and suffered injury to his spine. Since that time he has been disabled aud unable to do hard work. He is comfortably located at the Soldi ers' Home and speaks in the highest terms of the treatment accorded "Un cle Sam's" veterans. The advent of fall marks the closing of the summer's campaign ami the mind uaturally and willingly turns to the rnauy and varied pleasures and en joyments that may be participated in by the residents of Danville. There are but few if any places in the ooun try that cau surpass our town in the variety of its out door diversions; nor is there any time of the year when one may participate in the amuse ments offered with greater gratifica tion than during the season apoti which we are now entering. An amusement, which this summer has had an exceptional boom, is boat ing. When the bridge was swept away the people were compelled to use boats as the only means of communication with the other side of the river. Bat what was at first con-iiderel a ueces- Isity lias now come to be a luxury. At :iuy hoar of the day one may see the 1 river dotted with boats, niauy being ! of patterns that, before this summer, were auknowu here. In the days of 1 the other bridge the aucient flat bot- I torn boat seemed to 611 all wants, but with the breakiug of pedal [comrauu ication with tne South side there has sprung up a veritable flotilla of un y. ique and graceful craft. There are y steel boats and wooden boats, cush i- ioued and canopied boats, boats of j human propulsiou, naphtha aud gaso i- i line boats. It is hardly likely , even n when the new bridga is completad, that those who have become «o fond of aquatic sports will readily give * them up. sion.and one that is indulged in by an even greater number than is boating, p is walking. At this time of the year when the braciug air makes the blood tingle in one's veins, and wheu Jack Frost, in his nocturnal visits, is just t beginning to touoh with brown the v summer's green, a walk in the count try or over the hills is a treat that s once indulged in will -lead to many t repetitions. The tennis enthusiasts of our towu e are making the most of the early fall t season. Every evening the courts are t occupied with players,aud often mauy t fill the benohes awaiting their turn to play. c This has been a good summer, and in retrospect we cannot find fault with what it has brought us in the way of physical conditions. Never theless we are glad to note the advent of the season during which one may participate with keener enjoyment in the many pastimes for which this viciuity is noted. Many Advantages of Sural Delivery. Free rural delivery has, in the opin ion of the postoffice department, in creased the postal receipts, increased the number of newspapers and mag azines read, enhauced the valne of farm property,improved the condition of the roads, and is indirectlv respon sible for the farmer getting better prices for his products, by keeping him daily in touch with the markets. But the best point made was when the official said that "to these mater ial advantages may be added the edu cational benefits conferred by reliev ing the monotony of farm life through ready aocess to wholesale literature, and the keeping of all rural residents, the young people as well as their eld ers, fully informed as to the stirring events of the (lay. The moral value of these civilizing influences cannot be too highly rated." ONE WEEK'S TREATMENT FREE! SIMPLY CUT OUT THIS COUPON. And mall to The Cal-cura Company, Kennedy • • Bow, ltoudout, N.

ARBOR DAY OCTOBER 21st Superintendent N. C. Sohaetfcr, of the Department of Public Instruction lias issued the followiug proclamation regarding the Autumn Arbor Day. The proclamation is as follows: The State of Pennsylvania now owns (532,9:57 acres of land which have been set apart for the growth of trees. This area is more than that of Lancaster county (972 square miles), the richest agricultural county in the United States. There are fivo hundred million acres of growing forest in the United Statos ontside of our Insular Posess sious. And yet it is estimated that the annual consumption of wood is twice as great as its growth. This fact shows the importance of forestry as a national industry. It is second only to agriculture. The Pennsylvania Railroad has plant ed thousands of trees b,'tween II irris burg and Philadelphia and has pur chased large tracts of land for the pur pose of growing millions of trees that will hereafter be needed in railway construction. Railroads generally are vieiug witli one another in the adorn ment of vacant lots around their pas senger stations. The cities are creat ing parks as breathing places for the multitudes. The schools are planting trees upon their grounds and along the highways so that in many instances the school grouuds rival the grounds around the homes of the children, and the public toads are beginning to re semble the best kept streets of the cities. Increased attention to tree planting brings increased knowledge of plant life and begets increased re gard for everything that is beautiful in nature. lu accordance with the Act of As sembly the Governor auuuahy appoints Arbor Days which are obset the I mouth of April. Since many country i schools are not in sessiou at that time and since trees can be planted in the fall as well as in the spring of the year, it has become customary to ob serve an Autumn Arbor day, the es sential tiling being to get the trees in to the ground, and to give them a chance to grow. Friday. October 21, 1 i»o4,is desigmit ed as Autumn Arbor Day with the re quests that suitable exercises ha ar ranged tor the day. Let the home newspapers be used to create public sentiment in tavor of village improve ment. Let the schools discuss the events which transpiro under trees like the Charter Oak.the Liberty Elm, the William Penu tree, and others which have become famous in history. Let the ecouomic value of trees be discussed, and above all let tlie trees be planted upon the school grounds, ? around the homes and along the high . ways so that the day miy be profitable 112 trom the ecouomic point of view as well as valuable for educational pur t poses.

Both of the Bloomshurg teams play ed a good, steady game and won on their merits, although it is only fair to say that the Danville teams were not playing their usual good game.

The last span of the old river bridge has been altogether removed and noth ing remains of the old structure but a memory. The last pieco of timber was taken away about five o'clock last evening. While the work of removal has been going on many relic hunters have vis ited the scone and taken bits of wood, nails, etc., as souvenirs. The work has been under the super vision ol John Barry an expert in this line. With the exception of the accid ent befalling Frank Wilson.no one has been iujured, though a catastrophe was narrowly averted yesterday after noon. Frank Arms,while in the act of pry ing loose a wooden block, left his bar slip and fell onto the back of Stephen Raver who was working on a stringer just below him. As Arms struck Hav er, Joseph W. Osier, another employe, caught the former and saved him from falling into 'lie river. The false work will be taken down today. Oemetary Road Needs Repairs. There is no road in this section that is more traveled than the one leading from the I). L. & W. railroad to the Lutheran, Fairview,Episcopal ian and Jewish cemeteries and it is almost safe to say that there is none in so bad a condition. This thoroughfare from one end to the other has been badly washed out and is overgrown with weeds that in many instances hide doep ruts. Fart ol (lie road lies in the Borough and the upper portion of it is embrac ed in Mahoning township It is hard to travel even when kept in good or der, but under present conditions i* considered dangerous. There is scarcely a day hut what there is heavy travel on this th ir< ugh fare and the authorities should M e to , it that the proper repairs lire made be fore an accident occurs.

She called on al number of merchants and profession- | al men in Suuhury on Monday upon whom she tried to woik the old game. Her stories were as varied as her names. At one or two places she stat ed that she was representing a coucert company and was quite anxious to uive a benefit liere for some worthy charit able institution. She then requested a private hearing and if granted she managed to consume ten or fifteen minutes in explaining her methods, after which sho demanded money, threatening to ruin the gentleman's character if he did not hand over the coin. Of course nothing illegitimate transpired on the part of the parties interviewed, but sho had a prepared story she threatened to spread broad cast and which, il true, would cause unlimited trouble. At other places she claimed to be iaising money tor the maintenance of a consumptive sani tarium with the same eud in view. So far as is known the trap was laid for four different gentlemen before the matterjwas presented to the police. The blackmailer managed to get away. —Sunbury Daily. What Is Life.

The torn-up condition of tho ]>av nients oil Mill street is responsible for accidents of a more or less serious na ture and that someone has not been badly injured is extremely fortunate. The pavement leading from the Phil ips grocery onto the culvert is an especially dangerous spot. Four peo ple fell at this point Tuesday, for tunately escaping unhurt. The condition of the sidewalks are of course excusable to some extent ow ing to the improvements being made hut tho dangerous plaeos could be made safer by the erection of tem porary walks.

The banquet was served by the man agement ot the Commonwealth Hotel and was attended bv 400 prominent telephone officials. The decorations were most unique; miniature telephone poles strung with wires from which were suspended electric lights were a conspicuous fea ture of the room's adornment, a pro fusion of flags and hunting also being used witti excellent effect. Small tele phones were given as souvenirs and an excellent orchestra rendered music throughout tlie evening. Hon. B. F. Myers, President of.the Cumberland Valley Telephone Com pany ; W. I). Bernard, Vice President of the United Telephone Company aud Senator Flynn of Pittsburg, were prominent officials preseut. The United Telephone Company in this district was represented by F. O. Angle, Esq. Y. M. C. A. Notes. Hon. John Bairett, United States Minister to Panama, through the State Department at Washington, to the In ternational Committee of the Y.M. C. A., suggest- that branches bo opened at Panama aud Colon. Mr. Barrett in his letter to the State Department writes: "My suggestions arc prompted not alone by my own in vestigatiou ol the field, but by con ferences I have had with members of tho Canal Commission, Chief Engineer Wallace, Consul-General Gudger, and with others interested or competent to express an opinion. That you may have further respect for my proposal,l would submit that I was one of those who urged the establishment of branch es in Shanghai and Mexico after per sonal investigation of the opportunity and that I have studied what has been done iu such foreign places as Yoko hama, Calcutta and Buenos Ayres. "Summed up in a few words, we have a critical state ot affairs here. There are already nearly 200 young men iu Panama and Colon or near these cities, who have recently gradu ated from American engineering in stitutions or left agreeable surround ings in the United States to undertake the work here,and who have absolute ly no place of rendezvous, entertain ment, amusement, or worship. The only public places to which tho maj ority can possibly go at night are the gambling houses or saloons. There are two local clubs, hut only a few of these young men can afford to join. The Association will be open to men of all nationalities and religious faiths, as is customary. In Mexico City six teen nations and as many faiths are represented. Such an Association would, as in the Armv, tend to min imize tho waste of manhood from dis sipation and home-sickness, and by its recreativo,educational and social priv ileges, be a positive boon to hundreds of men away from homo. 11 Beuton's Peculiar Ciyi lSuit.

The width to bo attained is about 88 feet and will be sufficient to connect tho sidewalks on either side of the canal bed on an even basis. The earth excavated on Mill street has been dumped at this point. New pavemeuts are badly needed on Church street. Many sidewalks from Mahoning to Lower Mulberry street are in a bad condition. A little im provement would add greatly to the ap pearance of the street. Sustains Fracture of Right Arm. The many friends of Mrs. F. S.

CULVERT WALLS BEING HEIGHTENED The retaining walls at the culvert are being heightened and when the work is completed will present a much better appearance. On the northwest side nine feet of stone will be laid at the highest point and the work will slope gradually to the end of the wall. On the east side of the oulvert the walls running down Canal avenue will not be so high though several feet of stone will be added. Irou railings will be placed on the eastern walls adding much to the safety and appearance of the driveways. The thoroughfare running alongside of City Hall will bo filled in widen ing the roadway about three feet. Charles D, Wolfe Again Honortd. Charles D.

Mr. Wolfe on Monday evening re ceived a telegram from Mr. O'Brien informing him of his appointment as a member of the committee of appeals and grievances of the Grand Lodge of the United States. This is one of the most important committees ot the or der and the appointment of Mr. Wolfe is an unexpected honor which shows the very high esteem in which he is held by the officers of the Grand Lodge, and not only doos tho honor fall upon Mr. Wolfe alone, but also upon every lodge in this district. Mr. Wolfe's position iu Elkdom is an euvious one, bat he has won his honors through merit, his devotion to the principles of the order have always beon his first thought. Four times iu succession has he been elected to the highest chair in Williamsport Lodge No. 173, that of Exalted Rnler, and he has also served the state body as Dis trict Deputy Exalted Ruler. In these positions he lias brought Williamsport Lodge to the foremost in membership and through his persistent efforts it has taken a leading position with the lodges not only of the state,but of the country. Mr. Wolfe has visited the Danville lodge on several occasions, the mem bers of whioh will no doubt be glad to know of the appointment. Exciting Game of Foot Ball.

DaWITT * 00., OMIOASt For sale <& Co & Oc SKIRMISH LINE SCENE OF ACTION ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 2H. —A dispatch received yesterday afternoon, announces that numerous skirmishes have occurred hlouk most parts of the Russian front. The Japanese have not altered their positions east of the rail road aud confine themselves to outpost attacks to the north, all of which so far have been repulsed. Reconnoissances by the Russian j troops have obtained the fact that the j main Japanese forces are still along the branch railroad to the Yeutai mines. Both sides are in constant con tact. Gen. Hamsonoff's troops particular ly hare had frequent encounters but have sustained very few casualties. The Russians have captured some Jap anese cattle aud horses. The Japanese have constructed pon toon bridges over the Taitse river at Pensihu. ENGAGED IN A TURNING MOVEMENT ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 28.-7:42 a. m.—ln summing up the situation today the military expert of the Russ says it is evident from all indications at the front, that the Japanese are en gaged in a big turning movement on the eastward. Ibis would give them the advantage as heretofore, of opera tions largely in the mountains to which their artillery is better suited than for movements in the open. But in the present movement the units of the Japanese army are necessarily los ing touch with one another. Their strategic position is,therefore , less satisfactory thau at Liao Yang The Russ says it is a question wheth- er a decisive or even serious engago i ment will occur at Mukden. Such an event will depend entirely upon Gin. Kuropatkin's view* as to the exigen cies of the situation. "However, one m»y rest certain," the paper add*. ' that the sentimental question of vitlnimi of the Chinese tombs will not weigh with the Rus sian comiuauder. The public must wait patiently a few days, in order to ascertain whether there will be a big fight at Mukden or whether the retreat will be continued to the strong posi tion at Tie Pass." Ba«« Ball Season a Failure. The base ball season of 1904 while a most prosperous one in most of our neighboring towns has been a failure in Danville. Rut two games wore B played on the home grounds anil the I attendance was so small that expanses were far from realized and the man agement decided to abandon the sport s _ for the season. '' Previous to the past summer largo crowds have always turned out to see a ball game. DeWitt's Park proved an ideal place for the sport and the s good showing by the Old Timers al- II ways made the contests interesting. 1 With the poor accommodations for r gotting across the river and the tire some waits at the ferry landings iu ' terest seemed to wane. Ttie trouble to reach the park was too much for 0 the "fans" and they would not at teud. The management next season hopes '• for renewed enthusiasm.
