Fake Photographer.
A fake traveling photographer suc
ceeded in doing a land office business
in Hazleton last week and was later
seen headed this wav.
His method was to take pictures of
the employes of boslues* bouses, fac
tories hotels, &c., aud then repeat a
hard lnck storv,requesting the cash in
advance for the pictures in order that
he could procure a meal and lodging.
Many persons had their sympathy
aronsed and paid tho money. Observ
ant persons noticed that he used the
same plate each time he took a pic
ture. It is estimated that he seoared
at least 110 from his victims. Some of
his dopes still hope that he will return
and make promises good, but tie ma
jority realize that they were faked.
The Public With Bishop Talbot.
Of course it is desirable that scan
dals affecting the church, when without
base and groundless,shall be suppress
ed as soon as possible, yet it does not
seem right or conducive to the future
welfare of the church or society, that
the Episcopal church should ignore or
drop the charges made agaiiirt Ri-hop
Tilbot, without punishing the tradoo
er. It is announced that the parties
who were alleged to have signed pap
i rs making charges against the bishop
repudiate the signatures, and have no
knowledge whatever of said papers or
attaching their names. Those who
have known Bishop Talbot,through his
stainless, aotive life, who admire and
respect him and b'lieve him utterly
iuoapable of deceit or dishonor, will
not be satisfied to let his and
scandalmonger go unpunished.
A Novel (lame.
There will be a novel game
et Bal played at the Armory in the
near fntare between the Danville team
and the "Sterling Five."
The Sterling team is composed of
players who are deaf mutes and are
classed among the b»st teams in this
section. They are graduates of the
Pennsylvania Institution for the deaf,
at Mount Airy, Philadelphia. The
date and line-up will be announced
later aud a first class game may be ex
piated.
AffFOL ACCIDENT
NEAR WIIGH SCALES
A frightful aocideut occurred on the

ever, and the wreck was the result.
Tmgnieer Confer was 52 years of ago
and is survived by a wife aud three
children.
Fireman McAvea was 43 years of age
and is survived by a wife and one
child.
Both of the men killed lived in Sha

Horse has Narrow Escape.
The slippery streets were the cause
of another accident yesterday, when a
horse belonging to Harry Salmon.fell,
aud uarrowly escaped serious injury.
Mr. Salmon was deliv. ring oil on
Front street about noon when the
horse, although rough shod, slipped
and fell heavily, to the groaud. The
driver was too mnch surprised for a
moment to do any thing,and the horse,
left to itself, began to struggle in its
efforts to arise, becoming only more
entangled in the harness and shafts.
Some men who happeued lo be pass
ing when the accident oocurred siw
Mr. Salmon's predicament and hurried

which made it possible for him to get

••The Moonshiner's Daughter."
"The Moonshiner's Daughter" which
com s to tho Opera House on Siturdav
evening next ia described as a play of
dom stic interest, the plot is cleverly
conceived and wrought, out with con
structive skill combined with literary
talent. Tho comedy is refined, never
obtrusive and always in harmony with
the development of the plot of the
play. A m ire Buperh scenic environ
ment could not have been secured. It
is a play which cannot fill to interest
those who like incidents in which
there is plenty of a tion and excite

production ever attempted on an Am

IT WAS A PER
ILOUS TRIP
Two South Side men, whose names
were not learued, captured two stray
boats Sunday morning, that had es
caped from their mooring some where
op stream and were gliding swiftly
down the middle of the river, several
hundred yards above the bridge piers,
when first seen. The river was filled
with ice, making the task of reaching
the stray boats au exceedingly difficult
and dangerous oue.
Before the daring feat was accom
plished, men and boats had been carri
ed by the current a considerable dis
tance below the bridge. Then came
the tug of war to reach shore. The
runaway boats were found chained to
gether when overtaken, aud the trial
of strength and endurance to which !
the men were subjected iu keeping
their own frail skiff from being crush
ed by the ice, and at the same time j
manage the other boats fastened to- .
gether in the mauner they were, cau
be better imagined than described. !
The men in charge were whirled and ,
buffeted about in all directions. Same- I
times they could be seen pulling hard
against the stream in order to reach !
clear water, aud again in the midst :
and crush of a heavy floe, battling
hard to regaiu lost ground.
The situation at times looked per
ilous to the spectators on shore, aud
few of those who wituessed the sceue
would have voluntarily changed places
with the men in the boat. The latter
finally landed safely ou the other shore
having secured the boats for which
they made the venture.
Bounties Assured to Hunters.
By the time the Legislature adjourns
:on April 13 all hunters in the State
will be amply assure! of p ocuriug
whatever bounty is due them for ki 11-
I ins certain animals.
State Game Commissioner Kalbfus
1 says that at least half a dozen bounty
laws, to his personal knowledge, are
' ready for proseuta' ion, and lie has ev
! e:y reason to believe that this number
; will ba doubled. The St «te Game Com
missiou will not itself have any of
these laws introduced, but will
! thoroughly consider the merits of each ;
the best of the lot will then receive
! the indorsement of the Commission.
It Is intended to keep the bounties
as they are now-Ji per wildcat, £1
per fox, 50 cents each per mink or
weasel. The purpose of the new law
! will be to havo the present one eti
: forced.
Bounties are now payable by ttie Cotn
j missioners of each county in the Com
monweatlh, but it has become a prac
tice for many of these officials to refuse
to pay, claiming unconstitutionality
of the law. As the claimants cf boun
ties are for the most part meu of ex
tremely moderate means they cannot
take the case iuto court.
Dr. Kalbfus says, however, that the
! law which will be passed will be
stringent in its requirement for pay
ments of bounties au I that any refus
al to pay will be met by prompt suit
by the Commission itself aud au ex
ample made as a warning to other
The new law will limit the amour, t
| of mouey which cau be paid per annum
|by a single couutv ; this se'tiou will
be topmveni bounty-elaimiug growing
into au abuse and providing a tmai.s
of subsistence to men who prefer to
roam the fields ritner than »n.age in
auv trade.
It is desired to limit the amount p n r
annum to. say, f-iOo or s>">oo The State
J is to reimburse each couuty to the sum
lof oue-half the amount paid out in
boanii-s.
Bounties are paid by the hunter l ik
ing the entire pelt to the officials; the
tips of the ears are dipped oft and
burned, to guard against repeating.
The pelt remains the proper.y of the
bouuty-claiiner, who cau dispose of it
for oash.
No Hore Stomach Troubles
All stomach trouble is r moved by th
use of Kodol Dyspepsia t ure. It gives
the stomach prefect rest by digesting
what you eat withouj the s omach's
aid. The food builds up the hodv.the
rest restores the stomach to health.
You don't have to diet yourself when
taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. J. D.
Erskine, of Allenville, Mich, says,"l
suffered Heartburn and Stomach trou
ble for some time. My sister-in-law
has had the s*me trouble aud was not
able to eat for six weeks. She lived
lentirely on warm water. After tak

BLOOMSBURG
BADLY DEFEATED
Iu a game of Basket Ball at the Arm
ory Friday Jthat from start to finish
wus a procession of local goals,ami the
monotony of which was only marred
at rare intervals when Bloomsburg
happened to get the ball near the bask
et that the Dauville team was defend
ing, the local team showed the visit
ors, in a very decided manner, that
there were still a few who could play
the game of basket ball in Danville.
Bloomsburg seemed to be playing
their best,and made a very poor show
ing at that, but it was the only re
deeming feature that the visitors could
lay claim to. The Danville boys play
ed their usual fine game,and did some
unusually fine basket throwing. They
shot goals all the time and from every
cotifMvable position and pl»'a.
A long delay in the game was caus
ed in the first half when a Bloomsburg
player threw for the basket and hit
one of the arc lights, causing the fuse
to burn out, and leave the room iu
darkness. It was necessary to wait un
til an employe of the electric light
plant arrived and repaired the circuit
before the game could proceed Final
score, 61-14.

A Dangerous Operation.
William L. Antrim, who resides with
his daughter, Mrs. Will G. Brown,
Mill street, on Friday, received a dis
patch from his daughter, Mrs. O. O.
Tracy, formerly of this placo.but now
residing at Keokuk. lowa. It contain
ed the startling intelligence that Mrs.
Tracy's little 10 year old daughter,
Martha, was about to undergo a dang
erous operation that meaut either lift
or death to the child, but did not dis
close the nature of the ailment. Mr.
Antrim and Mrs Brown were in great
suspense until the receipt of anothei
telegram on Saturday morning, reliev
ed their anxiety. It contained the glad
tidings that the operation had beeu
successfully performed, and that the
little girl was gettiug along nicely.
Mrs. Tracy was formerly Miss Mas
Antrim, and while her many friendi
here regret that her child was undei
the necessity of passing through sucl
a trying ordeal, they will rejoice thai
the operation wa-i a success.

The Cigarette Pest.
The Clearfield school board has se
oured evidence enough to proseonte ai
lea-it eight tobacco dealers in thai
town who have beeu selling cigarette*
to school boys. The board will notifj
the dealers to desist and further trans
gressions will be followed bv prosecu
tions. The director-! sav that the cig
arette smoking scholars show a mark
ed mental deficiency. There can be no
doubt of this pernicious effeot.and, in
view of it, disregard for the law pro
hibiting the sale of cigarettes to boys
should be severely reprehended. The
physicial injury resulting in the pallid
faoes aud listless movements of the
boys whose addiction to it is confirm
ed, producing early debilitation that
is sure to blight their manhood. Any
cause that is productive o'an unsound
body is most likely to impair the mind
and for this reason school boards aid
aohool teachers who are responsible for
the education of the young, should ex
ert themselves for the oxtirpatiou of a
habit that weakens the receptivity of
the youthful mind.
It may be said that the school boards
of every community have occasion to
adopt the hue of action in regard to
the use of cigarettes by school boys
that has been taken bv the school au
thorities of Olearfi'dd. The disregard
tor the cigarette law is general, call
ing for general action to correct the
evils that result from it.

THE RURAL
'PHONE SYSTEM
O. V. Amerman, Esq., of this city,
who has beeu interesting himself in
having the system of rural telephones
established in this and adjoining coun
ties has met with much encourage
ment, and lias bright assurance that
his efforts will prove succest-ful.
The correspondence which he has
had with T. S. Pettijohu, of Flora,
111., the western promoter of the sys
tem, has led the latter to write the
following self explanatory letter con
cerning the project and his intention:
"I had expected to bo in Danville
about tl,e first of the year 1905,t0 look
after the establishment of a big system
of rural telephone lines in Montour
and adjoining counties, for from tlie
information you have given me of that
region, I think such a system is great
ly needed and that the people will co
operate with us in establishing ir. Qu
account of ssver-i weather and for
necessary time to complete the pre
liminary plans,l will net now be there
j for a short time. When the plaus are
I completed we should secare a few
! good honest, farmers or other persons
whom the people ran trust, to intro
duce the plans to the people of the
different sections where lines will be
erected and give them a cl.ance to sub
scribe for their stock. Of course we
do not want to contract for any ma
terial unless it is going to be a go,and
j the only way to find out about this if
to get those active solicitors rrglit out
j among the poople and let them sub
! scribe for the stock if they want the
| system.
There are always some wide awake
j people always on the alert for the bet
terment of their conditions in life.anr
' they will see and take advantage o;
the opportunity at a glance; on tin
; other hand there are some no doubt
who (like the people of Arkansas \\h<
Bfill cover corn with a hoe) may de
cide to wait a few generations yet t<
be surd thit the new system is the
b"st. If there should be too many ol
the litter sort we certainly would not
j want to take up their time and oun
| longer thau to find it out. To have
the system of the most advantage t<
the people and to warrant us in goin>
| ahead upon small profits we must se
: cure many subscribers.
In a certaiu part of Illinois a pro
I moter succeeded in establishing a ays
! tem of about 600 subscribers in thre
' years and thought he hacl done wond
ierfully well; perhaps he had wit!
! the plan he was working under. Hi
price was about SIOO per share wliil
the phones were only installed at in
tervals, so If a member was called u;
| by a night messenger the only thiuj
he oonld do was to don his clothes am
: scoot out,maybe through storm or mm
|to the place where tho phoue wa
i located. But even this was an aivant
' age over the old way and the patron
i seemed to appreciate it an 1 plankei
! down their 4100 as freely as the peo
pie pay the price we make on stock it
our systems where we give every mem
ber a phone of his own, and install i
for hint iu his home or place ot bu>i
i ness.
The above mentioned promoter prob
: ably did the best tie could; wa say no
; boastingly.but thankfully,that we he
lieve we have eucoeeded in origiuatini
a better plan for worsing telephou;
' which is one of th° most peculiar en
terprises in the world today.
1 If we are able to give the people bet
j ter value for le-s money than othe
1 oompauies, we are glad to do so am
: think it will be appreciated. One o
our main secrets is large sales am
; small profits. If wo can put iu 300'
phones iu three years at $3 per piioni
, profit, we are making as much as tin
man who put iu fiOO phoues only dur
ing the same time at $lO p-r phnm
profit, and we prefer to make it by con
i ferring the greater benefit. If we d<
not sell half as much stock in thrci
months as the above mentioned pro
moter did in three years, we will not
consider that we are doing much busi
, ness."

THE MING
ftEISIE RESORT
With the destruction of the river
bridge between Danville and South
Danville, March 9th, 1904, DeWitt's
Park became but a pleasant memory to
its staunch patrons residing on this
side, and to many, tliis pleasure re
sort seems to be a thing of the past.
But we take great pleasure in assuring
those interested that such i* ftr from
being a fact.
Iu a pleasant interview with the
genial proprietor of the park, Dr. A.
T. DeWitt, we learn that, undaunted
by the slack attendance during the sea
son of 1904 lie has taken advantage of
the opportunity and with greater en
ergy, has not only kept the grounds in
fine condition hut has ma le numerous
improvements and contemplates still
more in the spring. The main improve
ments thus far have been in filling in
low and unsightly places, undt'rrlrain
lng, establishing grass p'cs, and
trimming all shade trees to uniform
heights thu~ admitting the refreshing
air more freely duiing sultry weather,
and thereby enhancing the pleasure
aud health-giving powers of the re
'sort, al-o permitting orio retracted
views throughout the entire grove and
extending to the Hlu-) Ridge rauge of
mountains beyond the river.
The driving track, base ball, tennis,
and croquet grounds, shooting range,
«wiugs,foot drums and all other sources
uf amusement have been well taken
care of and improved.
Simultaneous with the construction
of the Danville and Sunbury Street
Railway line iu the early spring, which
seems to be assured the pavilion will
be enlarged to twice its present size,
making it the largest in central Penn
sylvania.
I A Ilerschell aud Spillman improved
I riding gallery, seating comfortably
fifty-six persons, will be pi r nanently
installed iu the park,the motive power
of which will be electricity, thereby
eliminating all smoke and snlphnr
which is so obnoxious when st< am is
used, and assuring a very steady run
ning gallery.
A number of cottages will be erected
in the early spring, which will rent at
a nominal cost to families desiring to
spend their vacations qu etly, sur
j rounded by fresh air and nature's
charms.
Avenue E extending south ward from
the Borough of Riverside, intercept
ing the park at center on the north
side will be thrown open full width
to the grove,and will be known there
after as the main entrance to the park.
This a'so will be a great improvement,
adding to the beauty and symmetry of
the ground*. The distance from the
river bridge to the naw entrance is
precisely the same as to the old one,
hut the btreet grade is greatly ltssen
| ed.
i i It is the determination of the
I management to maintain at all times
the good reputation of this famous
play ground in the futur.' as it has
been in the past,therefore parents who
: ; are unable to accompany their chil
t dren for an onting can rest assured
that they will be equally as safe in
the park as at home.
It is also the intention to introduce
: from time to time, clean, up to date
1 amusements, such as the patrons may
! rlßsire and the state of the times will
■ j permit.
Dr. DeWitt desires to ex'end to all
I)is old as well as his prospective pat
rons, the greetings of the season, and
I further wishes them alia prosperous
: New Year. With the completion of
the new bridge at Danville lie hopes
) to renew mauy old acquaintances in
i pleasant chat around the camp fire.
He aiso calls sp-cial attention of all
• ; par's visitors to note carefully the.
location aud natural ad-outages of
Riverside as a tidy little city in which
i to establish permanent homes. Its
health, shade, grade, diainage and
beauty is unsurpassed by any location
in Pennsylvania.
A Grim Tragedy
is daily enacted in thousands of homes
as Death claim-;, iu each one, another
victim of Consumption or Pneumonia.
But when Coughs aud Colds are pro
perly treated, the tragedy is averted.
F. G Huntley, of Oaklandon, lud.,
writes: "My wife had the consump
tion, and three doctors pave her up.
Fin »lly she took Dr. King's Sew Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and
Colds, which cured her, nnd today she
is well and strong." It kills the germs
of all diseases. One dose relieves.
