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

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,

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

JUDGMENT JT
ERED ON AWARDS
» The report of the viewers appointed
• to a sess damages sustained by the
four Mill street properties by reason
I of the change of grade was confirmed
• absolutely by the Court yesterday. 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.
The hardest test is the test of time,
1 and Doan's Kiduey Pills have stood it

following:
1 Levi AHeger, baker, of 102 Horth
i Spruce street, says:"l found more re
-5 lief from the use of Down's Kidney
Piils than from anything I ever osfd
for kidney trouble. About eight years
1 ago I tad considerable lameness in my
3 hack, over the h.p< aud a continual
a'iiing right over the kidneys. These
pains clung torn« and ii-creased in
severity if I stooped or lifted. Oc

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

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 paving will require a great deal
of excavating, betwecu the Montour
r House and the river bridge but the

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.
