OLDEST BOSKS ESTABLISHMENT Charles Woods has closed out the boot and shoe business at the old stand, No. aiT Mill street. The busi ness wan wound up at a special sale last week, the last pair of shoes being disposed ot late Saturday night. Thus the oldest and one of the best known business establishments in Dan ville closed Its doors. Thomas Woods opened up the shoe business in Dan ville in 1840 in Mie very same build ing. 217 Mill street, where (hi stock was closed out and in which the busi ness was continuously conducted dur ing tha long cae r of sixty-five years. The fact wa- guerally commented up on aotig the street yesteidiv and no one could think of any other busiuess establishment in that had be n in llio ha ids of one family for such a l-'ugfh of tiins or that was founded so long ago and conducted contiuuou-ly at the same staud. The W tods shoe store was the first establishment of that kind in Dm ville. Thomas Wood* upon removing here from Milton iu 1840, immediately put four men to work manuiac'uring shoes in a building at tlie rear of the shoe store. Previously there were cob blers or shoe makers in Danville, who took the measurement of the custom er's foot and made a pair of shoes to fit but Mt. Woods' business was a de parture in that shoes of different style and sizes were made and used to stock up the store, Thomas Woods thus beooming a pioneer in the present method of supplying footwear to tfie public. to~wiio'm an apprentice Troni time To time was added, kept pegging away in the little building In the rear while the stock of meo*B, ladies' and chil dren's shoes kept accumulating on the shelves, passing from thence out into the homes of the people. The first hob nail shoes used in Danville were man ufactured by Mr. Woods. These were much in demand among the iron work ers at the big mill and the profits ac cruing from their manufacture was in itself a big item. Mr. Woods continued to manufacture shoes until about 1875, when the chaug ed conditions in the trade made it more profitable to purchase footwear for selling from the larger factories where many advantages obtained over Mr. Woods' limited facilities. At the death of Thomas Woods, his son Charles took hold of the business and conducted it UDtil the present. The old stand, which dates back so far in the past and aiound which so many associations cluster, will hence forth be used as a manufactory for cigars. It has been leased by Henry Gottsellig and Brother of Lauca-ter, who will take possession today. The firm, which has a large business es tablished, will manufacture cigars for tiie retail trade Verna May Company. The Verna May Company will play in the Danville Opera House three night*, beginning Thursdiy, March 16th Thin in one ot the strongest re pertoire attractions on the road The company is headed by the clever liit'e actress, Verna Mav, a beautiful and talented 1i - tie lady who h»s prov d tierself to be one of th- mo*t talented actresses on the todav. The opening play is the new and sensat on al play, "Tiie Queen of Heatt' It tells tiie story of a poor little waif who in the end turns out to be an heir ess.

Meeting of Debating Club. The Susquehanna Debating Club held a regular meeting in the High School room Fiiday evening Will iam McCoy addressed the meeting on the subject: "Should bachelors be tazed for their condition," and Mr Sechler gave a talk on "Bicycling." The question for debate was, Re aolved.that a course in physical train ing should be given as much attention as the regular studies Messrs Drei fuus. Armes and Spaide upheld the affirmative.and Messrs. Evans. Sohoch and O. Jacobs sustained the negative. The judges, Messrs. MeClure.

BRICGE APPROACH ON SOUTH SIDE Ir response to the petition presented to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Northumberland County by citizens of Gearhart township asking that the county bear the exp n-e of bnildiug the road and t"e approach tit ie river bridge oil the S iuth side a board of viewers has been appointed, who will meet on the ground next Saturday forenoon. Notices to the above ettect have been posted in the vicinity of the river bridge. South Danville, signed by the viewers appoiuted,who are as follows: George F . Reefer, (Engineer) H. F. Mann and P. C. Oberdorf, all resi dents of Sunbury. The time set for • the view is 10:30 a. m. Saturday, • March 18, 1905. The matter involved iu the view is ' one which affects the taxpayers of Gearhart township most vitally,as the cost of the extensive filling up requir ed aud the construction of the high re ; taining walls is estimated at not much less than two thou-atid dollars They ; take the view that this is too heavy a • | burden for the township to bear and j that the county should come to the re scue. Naturxlly, therefore,a good deal i of interest centers on the view next Saturday aud there is no end of con i ' jecture as to what the outcome may be. ( ! The tact is stated that tie portion of filliug up and grading which legal |ly devolves upon the coonty extends I twelve feet further south than the two | wing walls built in connection with the new brldgo. This of course, im i plies the erection of retaining walls !on each side for the above additional distance. Sin<e this portion of the ' woik will have to be done by thocoun 'ty some think that the viewers may fall in with the idea that the county 112 I ooght to assume the whole expense. The great r part, if not all of the earth used, will have to be hauled down from Blue Hill or from some ''other points equally remote, which will add to the co-t and prevent the work from proceeding very rapidlv. If the approaeh is not completed by the ' , time that the bridge is open for traffic it will at least he Uept iu a condition that will make driving over it po sible so tint what- ver problems may be pre ' sented there is nothing in the situa ' tiou that would prevent a free and au ' easy use of the bridge at the earlie-t possible date, i i I : Old Do- tor Domehead,of "science sim plified ;" He couldn't build a hencoop.by jingo, it he tried, But dabhli s deep in science—solves mighty problems, and E ich *eek iustr.o ts hi-class of three, "But—on the other hand—" If you hive the blut s, con-ult cld "Dos" D imelieid ; if fortune has frowned on you,consult " Doc" Dome ! head ; is SHE has failed to smile, con ; suit "Doc" Domehead.

A Lenten Attraction. The cornii g engagement at the Dan ville theatre is of more than ordinary interest to theatre goers, inasmuch as this, being the Lenten season, it is difficult to attract to places of amui-e ment those who hold strictly to the re quisites of their various creeds "A Royal Slave" is a beautiful Christian story of Old Mexico, a series of pie tures of life iu that country of romance. Ministers have been unanimous this season in exhorting their congrega tions togo aud see the production of "A Royal Slave," because it. savors more of the atmosphere o 112 the Chapel than the Theatre It has not been an uncommon sight during this Leuteu season to s e the stage boxes entirely filled with clergymen of all denomina tions witnessing a performance of this morally uplifting drama i Its time now for the umpire to be-1 gin developing bis voice. 1. WILL BE PUSHED i TO COB LET ON I People who have occasion to use the new State Highway between Danville and Mausdale, which has lain all wiu i ter hi an unfinished state,will be glad to learn that the work is at out to be resumed and carried speedily to com pletion. The road, natnrallv had iu the Spring of the year, with recon struction at its present has not been much improved and people are i heard to complain about it daily. The work, which was begun towaid ■ *he latter part of last Snmmer,seeni"(l to proceed very slowly. The principal part of the work seemed to lie in the grading. There was an immense amount of cutting and filling required to level up and straighten the high way as required by the plaus. When • winter set iu the grading wascomplet- F ed and the six-inch course of crushed i cinder was applied from one end of the road to the other. In this condition, • with the bare cinder exposed, the road i has lain all winter. ' When the snow was deep and the i sleighing was good but little anuoy -1 auce was caused by the cinder, but • now the road from one end to the oth- I er is bare of snow and it shown up in i bad shape. The Maryland Construction Com pany, which has the contract,has writ ten onto Danville to learn what cou -1 ditiou the road is in and has stated " tiiat a representative of the company ' will be on hand iu a few days to pre > pare to resume the work. Nothing 1 more requires to be done than to apply " the three inches of trap rock, called 3 for by the contract, which will con- wist of two courses, one being two 5 incln s thick of oue and a half inch ' iock an! the other one inch of fine ' screenings. This last course will be : subjected to lit avy pressure under a road roller. If the company is able to i carrv out its plans the road will be i finished before May Ist. ) , Petitioning for Free Delivery. 3 The people of South Danville and 112 Riverside, are circulating a petition . asking the Post Office Departaieut to ; establish free delivery of mail in those i two places. The residents on the South » side obtain tbeir mail from the Riv . erside Post Office. They r sent ihe . idta, lioaever, of being obliged to re -1 c ive their mail iu the old-fashioned t way in the present prngrtssive tines aud regard themselves a little worse oil ill til the scattered inhabitants of . the rural districts,who have their mail delivered at their do irs daily by the • R. P. D. carriers. 3 This is the way they look at it. What view the Post Ollice Department • may take of the matter will develop I liter. A freed liverv in connection with tie R verside Post Offi e is saio to b- out of the question, unless thai office be m id" a sub-station to the Dan ville Post Offi e. Some are of the opin ion that tree delivery for South Dan ville and Riverside if granted at all could only be maintained in connec tion with the Dauville Post Office. 1 Whatever the ultimate outcome may be the movement seems popular Last evening the petition had about a hun dred signers. The April Smart set. In the novelette whioh opens the April Smart Set, Grace MacUowen Cooke has struck an entirely new note in fiction. It is a story of the West, so saturated with the atmosphere ot that part of our country and so photo graphic in its depiction of ranch life that it will take high tank among tli best tales of that class; yet ir is more as a character study that "Tie Red* Headed Woman" will win praise. The heroine is the most original, the most human, the most refreshing woman ! who for a long time has stepped from a ptinted page. There is no reader who will not be fascinated by fier vagaries and iutere-ted iu her remarkable ca reer. The short stories in this cumber cov er a wide field. First of all, ttiere is a wonderfully graphic tale by a new writ. r. JulU Lawrence Shatter, which she has cal ed "A Realist." Iu it, with consummate art,she analyzes the intricate character of a forlorn crimin al who has become a subject of inter est for a novelist in search of "copy " This story alone would make any mag azine worth while, but there are oth - er excellent tales, notably by William R. Lighton, who tells how a dead love was resurrected in"The Shadow of a Shadow;" by Mrs. Henry Dudeney. who wtites a powerful English story lot 18i8 in"The Swift Shi|s;" by Ar thur Striuger, who goes to the Oau adiau frontier foi the set dp of"In th> Du k of the Goddtss;" by Guy Bot ito whose wit sparkles in"The Si*n P..inter;" by Inez Hayoes Gillmore, who contributes a delightful love storv, "TieGodsof lluogtr;" and b* H.

As * a nest step judgment was entered on i tie* awards, from which the Borough ; will file its appeals iu due time, j The awards as rendered by the jury i i in the Mill street damage cases are as | follows: Sperring property, sid-»; I Frances Hartman property, $500; i Schuster property, $850; Ella Cousart estate. #175. In entering judgment for ■ j verdict were added in each case > for costs. ' The Borough Council bases its ap peal on the ground that the damages 1 are excessivo. The next step of course will be trial by jury. In the present 1 case a peculiarity exists in the fact | that the property owners as well at ; the Borough Council is dissatisfied ' j with the award. Nettle r side agreeing I with the viewers, a court trial would 11 seem to be about the only means of ; settling the matter. 1 ! A great deal of formality remains to jbe complied with. Issues will first have to be formulated,after which the I cas s will be regularly put on list for trial in Court of Quarter Sessions. It ' is hardly likely that the cases will be ready for trial in May. THE TRUE TEST. • Tried in Danville, It Has Stood the Test.

CANAL BRIDGE i Among the improvements in store 5 for onr to*n during the coining sum i njor will be the removal of the canal 1 bridge at F. rry street and the con* s -truction of a culvert with ample wat i er way to take its place, l The Borough is re-pousible for tin Ferry street bridge just as it was for r the structure at Mill stteet by virtue ■> of jiii agreement several years ago eu ; terecl into with the Pennsylvania Can ; al Company, whereby the Borough ob t ligated itself to remove both these r structures in consideration of being 3 given the ironwork, stone, etc., used in the structure. TliT l bridge is an oh . sightly old affair and is rapidly reach -3 lug a limit- when if will be no longtr j considered safe. In | rosecuting its t policy of improvements Council can t do no less than order its removal, i The work will in all probability be j entered upon coincidenr with the re j suming of paving on Mill street,which 1 will begin in av» ry short time. The 112 intention seems to be to utilize the ground that is excavated in fi ling up ( the culvert built to replace the bridge. , The paving will require a great deal of excavating, betwecu the Montour r House and the river bridge but the r gronr.d can all be conveniently di.*pos j ed of at the culvert. The idea is to build a culvert like the one at Church street, without any side or retaining wa Is, in*relv laying three-foot iron pipe in the bottom of the canal and dumping flee earth and stone in upon it, filling up to the eu t tire width of the street. 1 By the Tonic Koute.
