A number of our exchanges are per
turbed over the fact that the Montour
County jail is empty. With the record
of their own counties before them
these editors can not understand how
Bach things can be and imagine that
somebody must be derelect. lhe Har
risburg Telegraph" relieves itself as
fellows:
"Montour county people are proud
because the jail at Danville is empty
and has been in this deplorable coudi
llon siuce the last term of court. Be
cause of this the ovnical are wonder
ing whether "Montour county people
are unusually lawabidiDg or the au
thorities very lax."
Whether one or the other be true,
the taxpayers of that county are being
outrageously cheated What's a jail
for if not to hold prisoners? What ait
sheriffs and policemen for except to
find somebody to put into jail? Are
prison wardens and jailors and Judges
and court officials to be maintained iu
Idleness?
We submit to the people of Montoui
county that it is the business of theii
Bhenff to get occapauts for that jail.
Isn't there a tramp, or even a "sus
picious" person in Montour.' Isn tit
tiie duty of policemen and constables
to bring in somebody to be tried foi
something? How is the district at
torney to make a living?
Montour seems to be lost to all Bense
of shame. Fill the jail at once."
In reply the News would inform all
inquirers that the taxpayers of Mon
tour County are perfectly serene; an
empty jail has no terrors for them
Our policemeu and coDstables under
stand their duty and the District At
torney, who bears no evidence of a
slim diet, up to the present lias not
been heard to express any misgivings
as,to the source of his living.

An attempt was made to operate the
ferry yesterday for the accommodatioE
of the public, but it had to be aban
doned as impracticable, owing to the
high 6tage of the river which mates ii
still impossible to load and unload the
flat boat. Several trips were made
with Richard Hullihen.the new ferry
man, in command. The strong cur
rent enabled the flat boat to make rec
ord breaking time iu its trips back
wards and forwards. The best time
made was four minute* in returning
to the Dauville side from the South
shore. The ferry boat is restored to
its former condition with fall boards
and iron railing replaced.

The several shade trees on Mill street
removed last fall when street paving

only conspicuous by their absence hut
their refreshing shade is much missed.
It was not until the sun began to get

customed to the trees, folly realized
what they had lost. However, the

Sad Death of a Child.
Circumstances extremely sad sur
round the death of Charles W., tl>e
young son of Engineer George W.
Reefer, at the family residence, Sun
bury, at half-past three o'clock Tues
day morning.
Death was caused bv concussion of
the brain, from injuries accidentally
sustained while Dlaying with his eld«r
brother, several hours previous.
About seven o'clock Monday even
ing,the children were engaged in play
at their home. During their pursuit
of pleasure, the elder boy ran out of
the door, quickly followed by his
younger brother.
Upon reaching the stone pavement,
the elder boy stopped, and his brother
ran into him, the force of the collis
ion being sufficient to throw the
younger boy violently to the 2l )!4V "
ment, striking the left side of his
head, near the temple, a heavy blow.
The little victim was carried into
the house, and Dr. Mary McKay
Weuck was sent for. The doctor an
swered the summous quickly and made
an examination, discovering that the
fall had produced concussion of the
brain.
Everything possible was done for
the relief and recovery of the victim,
but to no avail, death thwarting all
effortß at the time stated.
The child was aged (i years,s months
aud 13 days. Being exceedingly bright,
he was quite interesting and the
neighborhood as well as the home of
the family is shrouded in sorrow and
sadness.
Woman Burned to Death.
Horrible and sickeuingin detail,was
the tragic death of Mrs. ilaurer, a
widow aged forty-eight years, at IK-r
home along the Danville road on the
outskirts of Northumberland at seven
o'clock yesterday morning
About six weeks ago, Mrs. Mauier's
daughter, to whom she was devotedly
attached,committed suicide by drown
ing herself in the river. The loss of
tier daughter woiried the woman great
ly and she broke down in health.
Tuesday night a few minutes before
nine o'clock, she was seized with a
chill. Going to the kitchen she fixed
the fire in the cook stove, aud, draw
lug up a chair, placed her feet in the
oven. Falling asleep in this position
her clothing caught fire, the flame,
spreading rapidly before she became
aroused.
Frantically making unsuccessful ef
forts to extinguish the flames, she ran
into the yard, from where her piteous
cries were heard by nearby neighbors.
Although assistance arrived in less
than a minute's time, the flames, fan
ned to increased fury by the woman's
rapid flight, completely enveloped her
entire body, consuming all her cloth
ing. An effort was made to save her
by rolling her in pieces of carpet, but
befoie this task wan accomplished,
nearly her entire body was burned to
a crisp,the wasted fish, in many places,
falling from the bones in long strips.
Carrying the victim into the house,
everything possible was done to re
lieve fier great suffering until the ar
rival of Dr. C. E. Butter, who re
mained all night in hopes of thwart
ing death,but his work was for naught,
the grim angel ending her terrible
suffering at seven o'clocK yesterday
morning.
Funeral services will be held at the
late home of tbe deceased on Friday
morning at eight o'clock, Bev. Leidy
officiating. The remains will be tak
en to the Row church cemetery.

When tlie First Ntational t>ank of
Olivet was organised; capital sf>o,ooo.
Aunt Mary HUliurd became a stock
holder to the amount of $l(J,00O. She
was a wealthy widow, pant middle
age, and could have furnished the full
amount had she so desired.
The balance of the stock was taken
by the business men of Olivet and
farmers thereabouts, and indue time
the bank opened for business. When
the stockholders met to elect a board
Of directors they figured on leaving
Aunt Mary out. though she was one
of the largest stockholders. She was
a woman, they said, and she knew lit
tle about business, and she should be
well content to draw l*er dividends and
leave the active management to men.
"Don't make any mistake about me,"
cautioned Aunt Mary as she settled
her bonnet on the back of her bead
and stood up. "I've been doing busi
ness ever since my husband died, flf
teen years ago, and 1 think I've learn
ed a thing or two, even about banking.
1 not only want to Is? a director, but I
shall drop in here quite often to see
how things are going "
Aunt Mary was made a director. It
was that or trouble. Then the five
directors elected a president, secre
tary and cashier, and four of them
smiled paternally as the woman claim
ed the honor of making the first de
posit. The president was a newcomer
In the town, but lie bad money and
had been cashier of a bank in Buffalo.
The secretary and cashier were old
residents.
The l-'irst National secured a large
business at once, and as time passed
on Aunt Mary dropped in occasionally
to keep posted. People who thought
she was old fashioned in her business
notions or that her limit was selling
butter and eggs had to acknowledge
their mistake. She was quite up to
date on finance, and she knew a good
investment from a doubtful one as well
as the president did.
Things were being managed In good
shape all around, and the bank was
looking ahead to fair dividends at the
end of the year, when Fan! Hazzard,
nephew to Aunt Mary and a young
man of twenty-two, appeared on the
scene. That Is. be appeared at Aunt
Mary's house, two miles out of town,
for a visit of a month or two. As he
"IF HE HAS HIS WAT ABOUT THINOB
YOU'LL NEVEB MAKHY KITTIE."
came from a good family and had Just
finished at the university and was
about to study for the law the harsh
est critic could have found little fault
with him in that regard. Aunt Mary
let it be known that he was the upple
of her eye and her heir as well.
It wasn't the fact that Paul came to
visit his aunt that shook the First
National to its foundations later, but
that he promptly met and fell In love
with Kittie Leslie, daughter of the
bank's president. It so happened that
his own aunt made the Introduction In
the directors' room of the bank, intro
ducing him to the father at the same
time, and so the young man found
himself properly vouched for. Mr. Les
lie appeared to look upon him with
favor, and Kittle was well liked by
Aunt Mary, and thus the love match
started off well. In a month there was
an understanding between the two.
Trees, shrubs and burdocks grow fast
er In a country town than In a big
city, and perhaps love does the same.
Gossip had It that It was all settled
between Paul and Kittle when the
girl's father stepped Into unsettle
things. He had no objections to Paul
on general principles, but he had other
views regarding Kittle. In fact, ho
was planning a certain combination of
love and finance. He had his eyes and
ears open, and when he thought the
flirtation had gone far enough he put
his parental foot down. He had a talk
with Paul, ne was very nice about
It, but also very Arm.
"So Mr. Leslie thinks you are not
good enough for his daughter, eh?"
Aunt Mary queried when the news had
been broken. "Well, this is not strict
ly banking business, but I shall drop In
tomorrow and have a few words with
him. Seems to me his head Is getting
too big for his hat."
Aunt Mary dropped In and had a
talk. Mr Leslie was suave, but be
didn't want Paul Hazzard for a son-in
law He said all sorts of good things
as an offset, but he was firm on that
one point. It wasn't policy for him to
antagonize one of the largest stock
holders in the bank, and he tried his
best to smooth over things and send
Aunt Mary away In a friendly spirit.
"Well, I've seen him," she remarked
on returning home. "If he has his way
about things you'll never marry Kit
tle."
Paul groaned.
"Put he won't have his way," she
continued "On the contrary, I'll have
mine. You and Kittie be patient for a
few weeks and there'll either lie a mar
rlaire or your Aunt Mary will admit
that she doesn't know rabbits from

valued at sllO, with none for sale. All
men will sell, however, tit a price. That!
very day Aunt Mary began hunting up J
the small stockholders, buying stock j
and pledging them to secrecy. She paid
fifteen, twenty and twenty-live bonus, !
but she got what she was after. In a j
month she had a controlling interest,
and the stock was duly transferred on
the books. There was considerable spec
ulation as to what was up, but no one
surmised the truth until the first annu
al meeting came around. Aunt Mary
was present, and It was noticed that
her Jaw was set.
"We will now vote to elect a board of
directors," softly announced the secre- i
tary when the meeting had been called
to order.
Aunt Mary had a ticket of her own to
vote, and she speedily voted the old
board out. In answer to their looks of
consternation she said:
'This afternoon the directors will
elect officers. I shall be president and
my nephew cashier."
"But, my dear Mrs. Ilillinrd"— began
Mr. Leslie.
"I am within my legal rights, sir,"
she Interrupted. "I have never run a
bank yet, but I think I can do so. That |
is, I shall do so unless"—
The pause was dramatic. All had a
suspicion of what was wrong, and Mr.
Leslie knew that he was in a trap.
"Unless what?" he finally asked, with
a rather pale face.
"Unless my nephew should get mar
ried soon. In that case he would not
want to act as cashier. Did any one
move to adjourn?"
No one had. In fact, no one wanted
to adjourn until things had been set
tled.
"I think your nephew had better get
married," observed Mr. Leslie as he
startkl into vacancy.
"Very soon?" queried Aunt Mary.
"I think Kittle will be ready within a
month."
"Well, if that's your opinion, I'm
quite agreeable. Would it be against
the law to hold a new election for di
rectors?"
"You seem to be the law yourself."
"Then I'll call a new meeting and
cast my votes for the old board, and
as a director I vote to re-elect the old
executive board. I have a little more
stock than I want, and if any of you
hear of anybody who wants a few
hundred at sllO please send them to
me."

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys*
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood,
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter' out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidr.ey
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty- g|
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Home of swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer

Don't make any mistake, but remem
