SiTOBDAT'S REUNION AT MILTON Arrangements for the comiug reun ion of the Twelfth Regiment Pennsyl vania Volunteer Association of the Spanish-American War,which will be held in Miltou on Saturday, October 4Vth, have been practically completed aud the only things needful to make the affair a great success are good weather and a large attendance of the members of the regiment. The latter is reasonably assured, as the notices whioh are being received daily by the local committee indicate that a good ly number of the boys will be on hand. The sessions of the reunion will open promptly at two o'clock with President James B. Coryell presiding and will coutiuue throughout the af ternoon and evening. From five to •even p. m., supper will ba served in the Armory. The supper will be giv en at the expense of the association aud will be free to all visiting and local delegates. This feature will be in charge of the ladies of Trinity Luth eran church. Promptly at 7 :30 p. m. , the regi men* will form for a shoit parade. The procession will be headed by Gaskins' famous military band of Sun bury, aud this celebrated musical or ganization will also be present at the evening session to play the soul-stir ring marches so dear to the heart of every soldier boy. After the parade the camp fire will be held in Wilhelm's hall, at which time addresses will be delivered by Brigadier General J. P. 8. Gobin aud other prominent speakers. There will alio be short stories sad reminiscences of the war by the comrades. After the regular evening session and until the time of departure of the late trains, the delegates will be entertain ed by Hairy McColliu Camp No. 54, United Spaulsh War Veterans, and this will doubtless _be one of the most pletsaut features of the reunion. The Volunteer Association is an en tirely separate organisation from the United Spanish War Veterans and ev eryone who served in the regiment in 1898 is eutitled to attend as a delegate. It is to be hoped that every member will consider it his duty to be pre sent. Milton comrades and citizens generally will assure them a hearty weloome and a royally good time. — Milton Standard. Everybody is Contented. The Danville real estate market is at present at low ebb. It may be tak en ai proof positive that all of the people living iu this city and owning property here are content with their lot and have no desire to get rid of their possessions in order to move to other places. Unquestionably the pub lio improvements now being made and the advent of the new trolley line are adding to the desirability of this oity both as a place of residence and of business and eventually will add to the value of property. That the real estate market is dull la shown by the experience of one real estate man who has considerable busi ness whenever properties are being transferred. To an AMERICCN man he said, when questioned yesterday, "I really know of only one property at the present time that is being offered for sale." ~ Such a condition is all right. Dan ville wants all of the present citizens aud more.too. There is plenty of room to grow and the progressive people of the city feel certain that industrial growth is coming and with it increas ed population. Surprise Party.

AN ANGRY BULL Mrs. Edward Fisher, of Rushtown, Monday forenoon narrowly escaped beitiK Rore'l to death by an angry ball. She was butted severely by the mad dened brute and only the fact that the animal bad no horns and help was near saved her. As it was she was pain fully iujured aud sustained a great shock from the terrifying experience. The attack of the bull took Mrs. Fisher totally unawares and she had no chance to get away. The bull charg ed her time and again, knocking her to the grouud and attacking her each time before she could arise. A pole was chained around the brute's neck. In trying to grasp this to keep the bull from goring her Mrs. Fisher bad ly sprained one of her arms. The woman was in an extremely dangerous and distressing position when her husband came to her rescue, just in the niche ot time. He belabor ed the bull with a heavy club and finally drove it off so he could assist his wife to a place of safety. So vic ious was the animal that it even chew ed the bonuet of the woman and paw ed the ground wildly. Dr. Smith, of South Danville, was called to attend Mrs. Fisher. He found her suffering from severe bruises especially on the stomach, and one of her arms is sprained but ho does not think that her condition is daugerous. Postal Books for the Public General postal information for the pablic is published in a very compre hensive little book being sent to the postoffices of the country by the Post Office Department, office of the third assistant postmaster general. The fol lowing iustraotious given the post master also enlighten the public as to the way in which to get possession of the book. Signed by Edwiu 0 Madden, third assistant postmaster general, the order to postmasters reads as follows: "Under authority of an act of Con gress a pamphlet of general postal in formation has been issued. It con tains the classification, conditions and posttge rates for domestic aud foreign mail matter. It is for free distribution to the public through postmasters. No copies will be supplied direct to the public from the Department. "A supply of this pamphlet will be sent to each postmaster as soon as practical. It is unnecessary for any postmaster to apply for his initial sup ply. Proper economy must be observ ed in the distribution and all waste must be avoided. As nearly as practic able, oue copy to'each family aud each business establishment within a postal district should bo sufficient. They should be served from the stamp wind ows of the main office and principal stations, and on request only. Republicans Open Rooms. The Montour county Republicans are getting ready to do political battle and to this end have established headquart ers in Danville. The Republican rooms will open today in the Magill building on Mill street, which Couuty Chair man James Foster has just secured and which will make very satisfactory headquarters. The front of the building is decorat ed with pictures of Roosevelt aud Fairbanks as well as of Dr. E. W. Samuel, of Mt. Carmel, Republican candidate for Congress iu the Six teenth District. The appearance of the building now is very attiactive aud the political debates that will oc cur in the immediate vicinity may be expected to be warm ones, for the Democratic headquarters are right next door to the Magill building. The interior of the rooms will be made comfortable aud attractive. In the building there is a great plenty of room so that anyone who wishes to visit the Republican headquarters may do so at any time, a weloome being extended to the general public, or the part of it to whom politics appeals, to frequent the rooms. A Beautifnl Home Story. A plain story ot plain people, plain ly told is the real heart of literature and a play grounded upon such a sub ject must, of necessity, contaiu the heart interest that is the desideratum of the playwright. Mr. Fred Raymond has embodied in his beautiful home story of"The Missouri Girl" that es sential element, and an evening spent at the theatre witnessing this play is as beneficial as it is entertaining. A true story of the simple people who inhabit the region of Missouri where the Ozark Mountains rear their wood ed heads,most naturally told aud each act of the play is genreou?ly equipped with all the special scenery that can be utilized. This play will be seen at tiie Opera House on Saturday evening, November sth. Officers Chosen at Convention. At the bi-county Christian Endeavor Convention at Light Street, Friday evening, Hon. H. M.

The continued heavy travel of the Danville & Bloomsburg trolley line is surprising. The number of persons carried each day from Danville to Bloomsburg is very large and seems in uo danger of diminishing. The Danville & Bloomsburg Street Railway couipiuy yesteuUv broke ground for a car burn at Orovauia, starting thirty men on the job. The barn is to be erected clo.-e to the pow er hou-e, which is near the Philadel phia & Reading railroad tra ks. The new baru will be 100 feet by 40 feet in size. It will be a substantial brick structure. The building will be erect ed and placed under roof as soon as the work can be done and the crew employed in its construction will be enlarged whenever more men cm be placed at work. At present the t olley cars that are not in use ate standing on the siding at the Paului farm. They are exposed to the weather and the eflort will be male to get shelter for tliem before winter sets in. Perfect Fall a General Boom. Traveling in any direction from this city through the rural districts during the last two days, farm r* could be seen very busily engaged in corn husk ing on every farm. The weather now is good for this work and is being tak en advautage of. The farmers have large crops of corn that are being suc cessfully taken care of while at the same time ail other clearing up work is flourishing. This Fall so far has bn*n productive of weather worthy of note that not only comes as a grcit boon to the farmers but right in this city lias been and is being greatly appreciated,since it allows the public improvements to progress. The candidate is a busy man nowadays an I he, t JO, is happy with the rest of the mortals capable of be ing thankful. The visiting ot the vot ers who live on the farms is not such a hard task as it would be if bad weather made traveling unpleasant. It goes without saying that these calls insy not be neglected by the man who is looking for vbtes. A Milton Tank Car.

NEARLY THREE CENTURIES OLD Tliroa violius valued at thousands of dollars are owned by T. A. Schott, a well kuown coal dealer of this city, who is a performer on the violin aud who talks interestingly of the history of his musical treasures and the as siduous care he has used 111 keeping the rare old instruments faultless and mellow in tone. Nearly three centuries old is the remarkable record of on ot the violins. The oldest violin wa-> made in Italy away back in 1640. The second is a genuine Stradivarius niado in 1730. The violius were brought to America by Mr. Schott's grandfather, Anthony Schott, in 1736, from France, then they passed into the possession of Jos eph Schott, an uncle of the Danville raau and from him to their present owner. It took Mr. Schott seven years to get them together aud in the per fect couditiou in which he now has his collection. The third instrument of the collection is a cello that is 181) years old. Mr. Schott has records prov ing the age and make of each costly instrument, substantiating the claims that some might otherwise try to dis prove. Each violin reposes in a silk lined case of the fluest workmanship. The owuer explains that the purposo of such extreme care is to protect the pores of the wood, keeping the violius rich aud mellow. Mr. Schott has made violins himself. One he constructed with the use of a pocket knife, taking months to complete it, and he knows every phase of the treatmeut the violin requires. He has beeu offered large sums for single instruments, but he will not break his historic collection, which he says if over sold will go only to one purchaser. GONE FOR GOOD. No Need to fear a Return. The pain returns to the aching hack when you think you are well ri i 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 followiug: Thomas Lewis, retired, of 615 Mill St., savs:; "1 can only reiterate my former statmeut made in 1896 about Doan's Kuluey Pills. They cured me eight years ago and the cure then made has been lasting and I have had no return of my old trouble. Before □ sing them 1 was was greatly troub led with backache. I used everything recommended but got no relief. The lameness over the kidneys and the ter rible aching continued in spite of ev erything that I did and there seemed to be no relief for me. I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills aud read the state ments made by people who had used them,and concluded to try them. They not only removed the lameness and backache but they benefitted my health in general. They also relieved the headaches to which I had beeu subject for a considerable length of time. I can recommend Doan's Kiudney Pills as a reliable backache and kidney care." For sa'e by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milbum Co , Pufialo, N. Y., sole agents for the United States.

The World's Conference of the Young Men's Christian Associations is to be held in Paris, Erauoe, April 26-30, ou the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the first World's Conference. It is expected that delegations from twenty five to thirty nations will be present, each of which will represent a nation al organization, these having become particularly strong and well organized in Inditt, China, Japai, South Africa and Australia, as well as in the old er countries. It was at the first Paris conference in 1555 the platform wa« adopted, which has proved to be the broad basis upon which the World's Y. M. C. A. movement has been developed This action was shaped largely by two Am ericans, George H. Stuart an 1 Abel Stevens, who were distinguished As sociation men of their day. The adherence of the Associations to the basis adopted fifty years ago will be the important issue on which dis cussion will center. In some coun tries of Europe the Association has be come largely the organization of a single church of which the pastor is the president, aud the Association is merely a class of young men. In a number of the larger cities in Europe, such as Berlin,Rome,Paris, Stuttgart, the Associations have adopted the type of Associations which prevail in the English-speaking nations aud the Ori ent. The couference headquarters will be in the James Stokes Memorial Y. M. C. A. building in Paris. A large and representative party will attend from America, sailing from New Y'ork about March 18 for Naples. It will be received by the Association in Rome. Delegates from other coun tries will ceuter at this point and will together visit Pompaii. Florouce,Ven ice,Nioo aud other southern European cities before going to Paris. The World's Student Federation, which was organized by the Y. M. C. A. and works with it, will probtbly meet in Holland immediately after this coufereuce.

PART OF FIRST ROAD (IF BAILS Not many pe.sous kuow that iiglit j in the luirt of Danville is reposiuy a jiec« of the first railroad built in Am- i orira Snch is the fact, ueverthele-s, J and T. L. Evans' Sous aro the owners of the rare old cariosity which is a relic of value. It cau be seen anytime at the Evans Stoue Works and when its history is j kuowu an examination of the strange pieae of ol<l railroad is of absorbing interest. From West yuincy. Mass., to the South Boston wharves the famous road extended, having been built when the United States as a nation was yet in its infancy. Over the road was haul ed stoue that entered into tl e con struction of the Bunker Hill monu ment,the stone being taken to the Bos ton wharves and loaded on schooners, which conveyed it viry near to the site oftlie monumeut. At the present time this railroad,not only the first in Am erica,but ono of the first in the world, is a part of the Old Colony railroad, the company now U6ing 'it of course having reconstructed it and made its equipment modem. So much for the history of it. The piece of the road that T. L. Evans' Sons have which they secured when on a trip to Massachusetts, AS just as In teresting An its antique construction and utter variance with present day railroad formation as is its history. The roan was built on granite blocks and Evans brothers have a block about two feet long by a foot wide aud two feet thick. To build a railroad on such lines must indeed have been exceed ingly laborious to say nothing of the time the work of construction v.ould require. The stones ran in the same direction as the rails, there beiufc* no ties, and the rails were bolted to the stoues. The rails are very odd along side of them is-ive steel oues over which modern express trains thunder at the nte of .'ixty miles an hour. Iu fact a rail of tlie old Massachusetts road is nothing more than a fl:»t,slight ly rounded, piece of steel about three inches wide aud uot more than three fourths of an inch in thickness. In the block of stone, with its rusty rail, Evans Brothers certainly have a relic that is worth owning. Broke Into His House S.
