hundred and fifty-seven.
There were 82 persons in the Bible

the value of the work, and persons
who are contributing to its support
will learn with pleasure that there is
"something doing," and that Danville
will keep up its end of the work, and
thus prove, without a doubt, that it is
one of the most active evangelistic en

three hundred »nd sixty five days in

Y M. G. A. is a part of the church,
and a part of a mighty organization
that has gained favor In every quarter
of the world, and will help to keep
the Association op to the standard in

opportunites from a social, physical,
intellectual and spiritual standpoint.

EIGHT HEN TAKES
FRIGID PLUNGE
•
The naphtha launch owned and op
erated by Daniel Ross upset Tuesday
morning and spilled nine men into
the icy waters of the Susquehanna.
Luokily the boat was near the lauding
when the accident occurred; so all the
passengers managed to reach shore be
fore being overcome by ttie freezing
water. Those in the boat were Peter
Baylor and Statiou Agent W. li.
Olark of Soath Danville, Dr. E. A.
Curry of this city, Calvin Clark of
M»yberry township, George Woodruff
of Rush township, William Oberdorf,
of Sunbury, aud a traveling sales
man, George E. Williams, of Roches
ter, New York. Frank Ross and his
sou Dauiel were running the launch.
It wan shortly after 9 o'clock when
the accident occurred,the boat was re
turning from the P. R R. passenger
train. There was quite a heavy floe
of ice in the river, but the launch had
been easily plowing through suoh ice
for davs. so no trouble wa» anticipat
ed from that source. When the craft
had reached a point about 30 feet from
the Danville shore it struck a stone
that .-lightly tilted it, and a large ice
cake, just then striking the boat,serv
ed farther to unbalance it. At this
critical moment Mr Williams moved
to the lo>ver side of the lauucti aud in
a twinkling the little craft capsized,
and threw men and bundles in a
confused mass into the water.
The water was about three feet deep
at this point and several of the pass
engers were wet ouly to the waist.
The others, however, were completely
submerged, and barely escaped being
thrown under the boat.
Those of the unfortunate party who
reside on this side of the river started
with all possible haste for home, their
wet clothes clinging to them,and freez
ing on the way. The men from the
other side were not so fortunate, for
the river lay between them and the
warmth of the home fireside, but they
were not compelled to endure their
suffering very long. Places were soon
found where they secured a change of
clothing and although the fit, in most
oases, was not of the best,the dry gar
ments were most acceptable.
Reporters Good Fellows.
Bishop Talbot, while in Pottsville,
said to a Chroniole representative:
"I have always found the reporters ex
cellent fellows." The Bishop but voic
ed the sentiment of every man of
prominence who has been frauk with
the newspaper workers. It is the man
who want* to bo mysterious who does
not find reporters good fellows because
the latter usually get behind the mys
tery. Then there is another class which
imagines the reporter is a being only
fit to become the butt of ridicule—
that it is a jolly good joke to fool the
reporter. But this class is soon mea
sured by the discerning newsman aud
are set down at their proper level.
But the man who is frauk with the
reporter, aud the reporter who honors
his position sufficiently to grasp what
the word confidence means, will get
! aloug together, aud neither will have
fintti or course, but
frankness and honesty will never cause
any man to lose confidence in the news
man, aud the latter, if fie constantly
practices frankness aud homstv ami
never violates a confidence, will have
little trouble in bagging legitimate
news. The mysterious men on either
side are the ones who cause trouble.
Bishop Talbot is not one of that class.
The reason that coughs and colds pro
duce con-tipation and weaken the
longs is b"Caui-e they interfere with
all digestion. That new di-covery
known as Kennedy's Laxative Honey
and Tar cures all Coughs, Crouo,

No riore Stomach Troubles
All stomach trouble is removed by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gives
the stomacfi prefect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's
aid. The food builds up the body,the
rest restores the stomach to health.
You don't have to diet yourself when
taking Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. D.
Erskine, of Allenville, Mich, says,"l
suffered Heartburn and Stomacfi trou
ble for some time. My sister-in law
has had the same trouble and was not
able to eat for six weeks. She lived
lentirely on warm water. After tak

SONS (IF VET
ERANS CAMPS
Colonel George S. Brown of the
Third Regiment, Sons of Veterans Re
serves, and division organizer of that
order, was in this city yesterday ar
ranging lor the establishment,in Dan
ville, of a Camp of the Sons of Veter
ans. Colonel Brown is at present locat
ed in Shatuokiu. He was born in this
city and is well known to many of
our citizens. Ho was at one time em
ployed in the office of the Montour
American. Later he very ably filled
positions with Shamokin newspapers.
The work that Col. Brown was en
gaged in yesterday was of merely a
preliminary nature, and nothing def
inite lias as yet been done in rtie es
tablishment of a Camp lure; although
the men with whom Col. Brown talked
all seemed ro be very much in favor of
the movement. He stated l»st evening
that if his work of interesting Dan
ville men in the organization proceeds
with the same degree of success in the
neat future as it did yest< rday it is
probable that a Ca up may be organiz
ed in this ci v in about three weeks.
The Sons of Veter.wis, an auxiliary
to the Grand Armv of the Republic,
has for its object the perpetuation of
the deeds of our fathers in the civil
war. Only sons anil grandsons of
veterans are eligible. Colonel Brown
met the members of Goodrich Post,
No. 22, after their meeting last even
ing, and they all expressed themselves
as being thoroughly in favor of the
movement, and willing to leud their
aid in the work of organizing a Camp
in Danville.
An excellent characteristic of the
Sons of Veterans is the military fea
ture connected with the order called
the Sons of Veterans Reserres. Com
panies have been organized in many
of the Camps throughout the country.
Drilliug is done under regular army
regulations, and national and state en
campments held annually. A company
of Reserves was sworn in at Milton
last night, and the state encampment
is to be held there in June.
The order has taken a forward move
-1 meut in this part of the state during
| the past year, many new Camps hav
j ing been organized. There is also in-
I creased activity iu the older camps.
TIME IS THE TEST.
■ The Testimony of Dauvilla People Stand

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public soon find out wlieu

merits alone will stand the test of

merit, and many months ago local
citizens publicly endorsed Doan's Kid
ney Pills; they do so still Would a
citizen make the statement which fol
lows unless convinced that the article
was just as represented? A cure that
lasts is the kind that everv suflerer

Undesirable Element.
The foreign element crowding into
the coal regions must be a valuable
acquisition to the population if the
following from the Hazleton Standard
is any criterion:
"People should not throw dead
chickens into the street as they are apt
to be picked up by the foreign ele
ment, who cook and eat them. They
make a practice of going about the oily
in quest of dead fowl and visit the
offal barrels of the grocery stores, I
where they gather up spoiled fish aud
other cast off eatables. Health Officer
Bonner has repeatedly warned this
class of people to desist in this practice 1
but they continue to violate the in- !
junction."

US IDE AFRAID 11
ANOTHER OUTBREAK WILL COME
Strike Has Spread to Moscow and Kovno and Strik
ers Are Rioting—Strikers Are Arming for
A Bloody Revenge.
ST. PETERSBURG,Jan. 84.—Thou
sands of strikers are at this hour as
sembling iu the Nevsky Prospect.
This locality contains the homes of
many of the fashionable element of the
capital.
The outgoing trains today are carry
ing the wives and children of many
j nrominent St. Petersburg citizens to
| outlying places of safety.
KOVNO,Russia, Jan. 21. —The strike
movement is growing here and rioting
has begun. No serious damage has as
yet bet n done.
Kovno is the capital of the Russian
government of the same name. The
eastern boundary line of the province
touches on Germany, while the north
ern line comes within a short distance
of the Baltic.
Few of the residents of Kovno are
Rns-ians, the majority of them being
descendants of theSainogitians, a peo
ple speaking a language closely allied
to the Lithuanians
MOSCOW, Jan. 24.—The strike is
this morning spreading tapidly through
Moscow district. The gas works are
idle aud guarded by troops, while the
same condition exists at the electric
light works.
The demands of the strikers are the
same as those of their fellow workmen
I in St. Petersburg.
The printers have all stiuck and as
a result there will be no newspapers in
Moscow tomorrow. There has been no
fighting as yet, though the men are
marching about the city, gathering re
cruits from tactories and stores as they
• go.
Up to uoon 10,000 strikers had quit
work.
The employes of the hoppers factory
( this morning refuned to join the strike
but were forced to quit work. A mob
of 500 workmen forced an entrance to
j the factory. They ejected the work
men and demolished all the machinery.
The employes of the tanneries were
; persuaded to join the ranks of the strik
ers this afternoon.
All arms have been removed from
the gunsmiths' shop-', most of which
have been closed to prevent the strik
ers obtaining weapous.
ST. PETERSBURG,Jan. 24.—While
quiet again pervaded St. Petersburg
aud its environs today, it was evident
even to the casual observer, that this
was order of the enforced kind; that
it was preserved by a circle of glitter
ing bayonets, and that, for the time
being, the p 'Oplo were overawed.
Will it last, or does the next few
days, or perhaps hours, hold for tiie
capital or the country scenes of earn
age and noting bevopd the lam
. _ —. "Mice of Sunday-; xtmr
will ansW' r this, but indications are
that the trouble has not by any means
ended
The streets today had a more normal
app-aiance than yesterday except that
the shop windows are still bttrfd and
shuttered. The number of troops Ins
been reduced nut reserves in 1 arg
il umb *rs are conceal' d at many points,
ready for a tion,should they be called
on. In the interior the strike and rev
olutionary sentiment are rapidly
spreading, especially in the Moscow
district.
Here, as in St. Petersburg,the strik
ers are offering no offense for the rei
s n. as pointed out yesterday,they are
not yet in a position to take any deter
mined stand against the 'roops. Thi
lack, however, is beiug gradually
remedied by raids on various firearm
factories where not only rifles, but
cartridges and explosives have been
obfaiued. With these in their hands
ttie strikers will present a most formid
able front to the troops, and should a
clash occur, the results would he far
more serious than even the horror of
Sunday's massacre.
There is little question that the
spread of the strike of Moscow has
caused more perturbation in the offici
al mind than even the widespread
movement iu St. Petersburg. The em
' ployes of mauy factories there have
quit work,and the strikers are emulat
ing the example of the capital work
men. They are marching from place
to place prevailing upon others to join
them. All the printers of the city have
gone out, as have the workers at the
gas plants and the electric light plants.
ST. PETERBURG, Jan. 24.-The
| capital is quiet this morning but it is
feared the quiet will la? t for but a few
hours when the storm will again break
loose.
During the night the strikers were
busy. They tore down the telephone
wires which run from St. Petersburg
to Tsarkoe-Selo. As a result the Czar
has since been but partially informed
of the progress of events during the
night.
The strikers also attempted to plund
er the big Universal provider store hut
were repelled. Fifteen hundred work
men succeeded in getting into the 1
Sestrorezk rifl factory, and plundered
all the rifles in the factory. They de
stroyed the narrow gauge railway from
St. Petersburg to Sestrorzk.
It is reported the workmen have al
so destroyed a section of the railway
running from St. Petersburg to Mos
cow.
Another leport of sensational char
act. r current this morning is to the
effect that the rebels have forced an
entrance to the Gentiloft ammunition
factory, and have seized larg- quanti- j
ties of explosives and cartridges. These '
with the rifles they have obtained hv
loot will give many of them the muni
tions, the lack of which have prevent
ed serious clashes with troops yester
day and last night, and which made
possible the massacre of Sunday with
out retaliatory measures against the
troops.
All these indications this morning
point to a renewal of bloodshed today. I
The rebels it is learned intend to
march 40,000 strong to Tsarkoe-Selo
and make another attempt to see the
Czar. If they persist there will beyond
d'tubt be a repetition of Sunday's dis
aster.
Should a clash occur today between
these marchers and troops, it will be
as has been pointed out afar more ser
ious affair than the massacre of Sun
day. The men are fairly well equipped
with arms, and in addition to this
they have the death of their comrades
of Sunday to urge them on, and a
fight, should it occur, will be carried
on with a fury such as only a com
mune or an occurrence of this kind
could witness. The men are determin
ed to tight to the last drop of blood,
and this would mean awful carnage.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 24.—The
government has issued an official state
m nt through the columns of the offici
al messenger stating that there were
no serious clashes yesterday and no
casualties occurred. The statement
reads:
"There were no conflicts yesterday
btween the crowds and the troops and
tie latter were not required to use fire
arms. The crowds were scattered by
the timely appearance of the military.
The military during the day prevent
ed any attempt to attack the Gastouig
gate.
"In the evening the men working
at the electric light works joined the
strikers. Consequently in the dark
ness groups began breaking the wind
ows of shops in several streets. Order
was soon restored. Iu the course of
yesterday nobody was injured.
"The number of casualties on Sun
day, reported from 53 registeied am
bulance centers were ninety-six killed
and 333 wounded.
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Emma Gold
man, the anarchist, says that even if
the worst conies to worst and the Rus
sians revolution is subdued, autocracy
can never thrive in Russia.
"This rebellion," she says, "has
been ripening for years. The greatest
thing to help the cause of the revolu
tion is the combination of peasants
and students that occurri <1 five ytars
ago. It may be that the Poles, the
Armenians and Finns will all join
hands with the revolutionists. Iu such
an occurrence the outcome will be the
very best and Russia will become a
: Republic.''

Young Girl Commits Suicide.
Miss Dillie Maurer, the only child
of Mrs. Marv Mnurer, committed sui
cide by drowning herself in the North
Branch of the Susquehanna river.near
Dunham's Run, Northumberland, Mou
dav morning about eight o'clock.
Deceased and tier mother tesided ou
North Front street, Northumberland,
and both worked in the cap factory.
Thoy both went to work together to
the factory Monday morning and the

ing to the post office. She went to the
post office and there wrote a note,
which was found on her body, and in
which she stated that she drowned her
self because a certain girl iu town

no avail. She was takeu to her home
and an inquest held.
The girl was about sixteen years of
ge and her mother is almost frantic
over the sad death of her only child
with whom she was doiug her best to
make home pleasant, and the idle
gossip of evil tongues is answerable
, for this girl's untimely death and a

witli turn, thus increasing the number
of polemen to fourteen. However, the
officer in charge, when once the up ,
river trip was begun,did as much pol- j
ing as any of his force.
When the men reached the boat,they j
discovered that they were up against j
an uulooked for proposition. The flat '
had been run up Wolverton creek some |
distance from its mouth, when the .
water was high. The water having
falleu to a considerable extent since,
had left one end of the flat tightly
grouuded on the bottom of the stream.
Consequently, it had to be raised and
pushed into deeper water before it
could be floated out into the river. It |
took a great deal of time to accomplish !
that difficult feat, but it was finally
effected and the long and uncertain
trip back to Danville begun. Every
thing went all right during the early
stages of the journey, until Cook's
riffles were reached. There the boat
! ran aground, the bottom having come
j in contact with a large stone that was
| just concealed from sight by the shal
; low water. The ferry was firuily fast
i ened. For three hours it bid defiance
j to the 15 strong men to push it from
< the top of that rock. Fiually, though,
j it yielded to the powers against it and
| glided off into deeper water. From
| that on the men had no trouble,
j The remainder of the journey was
' made without anything worthy of note
i transpiring, the landing being made
' on the South side, late Saturday even
ing.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
The largest appropriation ever made
by a railroad company for the estab
lishment of Young Men's Christian As
sociations along its line has just been
authorized by the board of directors
of a southern company, which, upon
the recommendation of its president,
voted that $(50,000 be spent in the erec
tion of Association equipment at divi-
I siou points along the line of its road
i during 1905. This will provide three
new buildings and extensive improve
ments in the Associations already or
| ganizei. The excellent influence of
' the Association on the men centering
at one of the most rough and raw divi
sion points on the road has led the
president to recommeud the estendou
and equipment of these Associations.
The Southern Railway Company has
recently made an appropriation of $15,-
000 for a building and provided a ceu
tral and valuable site in Spencer, N. C.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, which
has now 22 departments at division
points, with 8.500 members, has given
authority to equip quarters for its em
ployees at Jersey City and South Am
boy, N. J., to be placed in charge of
the Association, and will rapidly or
gauize its men. Already over 1,200
men have signed for membership in
Jersey City, where there are 15,000 j
railroad employees. Mr. William A. j
Patten, assistant to the president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, has just
given an organ costing $5,000 to the
Fennsvlvauia Railroad Department in
Philadelphia Mr. Patteu has constant
ly champinued the extension of the
Association along the line of his rail- ;
road.

The smoker given at the Armory on
Saturday night by Montour Lodge, No.

Iron, Steel and Tin Workers,proved to
be one of the most enjoyable atfairs
lever held in this city. Saturday was
| the first anniversary of the organiza
l tion of the local Lodgo and there was
' a large attendance at the smoker, over
four hundred nieuib rs and guests be
' ing present.
Vice President of the 10th District,
| J. B. Mincher, of New Haven, Couu.,
' was the guest of honor, and the speak
;er of the evening. Mr. Mincher's ad
j dress was very interesting and instruct
j ive and was received with much en
| He spoke of the benetfis to
i be derived from the organization, and
! particularly advised the members as
to how they could gain the goodwill
and sympathy of the public. He also
urged the hearty support of organized
labor in all the trades as essential to the
success of the Association. The past
history of labor in this countrv, said
| Mr. Mincher, shows that organization
j is the only means of protection to the
I laboring classes. If manufacturers
i organize for their protection it is just
as fair and right for labor to organize
for the same purpose.
The interesting address was well re
ceived. Montour Lodge is in a very
flourishing condition and has a mem
bership of 385. After the address the
members aud their guests enjoyed a

tained that he will nt >ee his shadow, j

INTERESTING STORY
OF THE Yfiß
One of Dai vil'e's old veterans is the
proud possessor of a rare aud valuable
relic of the late' Civil War. It is a
guitar, and the owner is Richard W.
Eggert, forniprly editor of the Gem.
The instrument was presented to
him while t e army was in winter
quarters at Buriuuda Front,near Point
of Rocks, on the classic and historic
Appomattox River. It was while at
Petersburg aud Richmond. The "boys
in blue" would dost r around in
groups to toil storits and sing songs,
and that pastime would carry their
minds back to the dear old home and
Iov• d ones. As the singers had noth
ing to accompany them, it was sug
gested that a purse be raised for tlie
purpose of purchasing a musical in
strument This was accomplished, and
rhe following riay a pass was given Mr.
Eggert togo to City Point to procure
the desired object. He purchased the
! guitar at a jewelry store, the proprie
tors of which a few hours later, were
ordered to vacate tho premises and
fall to the rear as a bittle in front of
Petersburg was imminent.
On his trip for the guitar,after land
ing from the transport and ascending
a steep hill fronting on the river, the
. first person Mr. Eggert met was his
comrade in arms, Arthur Beaver, ODly
sou of the late Thonia-Beaver,founder
|of the handsome library of which
Danville is no proud. Mr. Beaver
greet'd Mr. Eggert, after which they
strolled to a temporary (lining room
and partook of an exc llent meal. At
that time Mr. Beaver was interested
in General Uraut's headquarters. At
the conclusion of the sumptuous
dinner, the fellow townsmen bade
adieu to each other and separated.
They did not meet again until the
; "cruel war was over," when they
clasped hands at the home of their
boyhood days.
On the guitar which Mr. Eggert
has been the owner since those
dark and bloody days, is a handsome
silver plate. Inscribed thereon are
these words: "Presented to Richard
W. Eggert by the members of Battery
F, Secoud Pennsylvania Veteran Vol
unteer Artillery, near Petersburg,Va.,
March 28, 18fio. "
While speaking of this old time rel
ic, and how he carnfj in pos ession of
it, Mr. Eggert told cf the actions of
the regiment of which he was a mem
ber—how it was hotly engaged with
the Confederates at Fort Harrisou, on
the James river and during the dread
fol raruage.two hundred of their rank
and <ile were slain. Among the latter
was the brigade Commander, Brigadier
General Eornhnm, iu honor of whom
the name of Fort Harrison was after
ward changed to Burnham Fort.
"The charge oil Fort Harrison,'
continued Mr. Kggert," was a soocess,
the enemy beiug coni;elled to fall hack
toward Richmond. Then the regiment
recrossed the Jame-f river, and were
confronted with the Louisiana Tigers.
It rem tine.l there uutil the fall of
Petersburg and Richmond, the capital
oft! o Confederite i-t tes. Shortly af
ter tiiat General Lee surrendered to
General Grant at Appomattox Court
Hou-e, thus ending one of the most
! dreadful wars for supremacy in the
history of any country, and through
j which the Union was destined tore
m.»in one and inseparable.
