The state appropriation for good roads made in Northumberland coun ty last year amouuted to about fI.OOO Zerbe township got all of this. This year the commissioners have already been petitioned by Bhamokin, Coal, Upper Augusta and Rockerfeller town ships for the money or as much of it as they can have. Coal wants ten miles •112 new road and Augusta is modest with an application for one mile. NO DATE SET FOR IMION The County CoinmiHsioners yester day received a communication from John E Stott, secretary of the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings, Harrisburg, which would seesn to indicate that the in spection of the new river bridge is giviug the Board 110 special concern at present and may be still at some dis tance in the future. The communication, which came un solicited, had eucloseil with it a news piper clippiug containing a report of the joiut meeting of County Commis sioners held «t Diuville, copied from the Morning News of Ihe 12th iust , winch stited that a reception appro priate in its nature was contemplated for the Harrl»borg party on the date of the inspection and tint a committee had been appointed to wait upon the Governor to determine whether or not he would be present and to obtain some other information relative to the inspection. The communication was in reply to the newspaper clipping and read as follows: "Harrisburg, Pa , April 17th, 1905. County Commissioners, Dauville, Pa "I b p g to inform you that before tha Danville bridge can be Inst'ected 'he Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds aud Building, first must have notice from the engineer that the said bridge is completed; when that notice is received the inspectors appointed to inspect the said bridge are first con- j firmed by the Court and then the Board will set a time for said inspection, which time you will have due rotice of. JOHN E. STOTT. Secretary. May Use Three Hooks. The following from Monday's Har risburg Telegraph will be of interest at this time; "The Legislature just ended made 110 change In the law relating to fish- j ing for trout," said Fish Commission- 1 er Meeban today, "and those who go ! cut to catch the speckled beauties—l believe that is what you call 'em need have no appreheusion that there have been changes. A man can catoh but fifty trout in one day, and if he catches any more on that day he pays ten dollars for each one over the fifty. These stories of big trout catches will stop hereafter, andjrou will no longer hear of how a mau whipped a stream and in a few honrs caught a couple of hundred trout. That is the bind of a story this department Investigates,and if found true the offender is hauled np for violating the law. "Last year we hunted down a story from Altoona to the effect that two men had caught several hundred trout in one day, and discovered that the big catch originated in the nimble fancy of an Altoona reporter aud we took that gentleman before a justice of peace aud made him take a oath that he would never again tell a lie like that and put the department to trouble. ' No trout less than six inohes long can be legally caught aud a fisherman must throw back iuro the stream any trout that he catches smaller thau that. As to fishiiig for trout on Sun day, that is a matter that has not yet bei n thrashed out in the Superior court, where it now is. A law pas-ed 111 1870 forbade Sauday fishing, but it is a question wln-tl.Rr the uew law of 1901 did not repeal it, and the court now has it under consideration. "It will be lawful to catch trout only with tod, hook and line. Anv other way is illegal. No nets can b" used in taking trout. The question has beeu raised as to whether mote than one hook may be nsed on a line, aud we are inclined to think that the use of three hooks is legal, and we have so instructed our wardens so that there will be 110 arrests made for u-ing more than one hook.

GENERJL COIE7 1 BiNKRIPT An exchange priuts the following: "General" Jacob S. Coxey, former ly of Danville, lie of "army" fame, is inw in the midst of bankruptcy pro ceedings, but calls it merely an ac cident. His debts are $285,000. but they are not much higher than in his first failure, and he emerged from that triumphant. He can do it he ►ays. Coxey is a man of real ability, hut some whit erratto. His objeot in inarching the "great unwashed" to the capitol grounds was to make a demonstration in favor of good roads. He said tfoe-o that he was just ahead of the times. Today one of the greatest universal ities in the rural districts is the " Good Roads" agitation and in every State hundreds of miles are being bnilt by the taxpayers. Coxey spent all of his money in this crusade and went broke but not for long. On one of his farms he found a great deposit of silica and he started to mine it and sell it to the glass makers. He prospered and with his profits built a |250,000 steel mill. This too, wta a success. Coxey recently made costly additioni to his plant, and his present trouble is due to the fact that he could not get enough reidy money to meet his heavy indebtedness; He is not cast down— not Coxey. Meet With Generous Response. Hou. James Foster, Chairman of the Soldiers' Monument Committee, jester day stated that the solicitors are re porting very satisfactory progress. At least oue more additional large sub scription is in sight, while the masses are respoudiug in a way that refleots well upon their liberality and patriot ism. The solicitors, it seems, have been the most active in the Third Ward where canvassing i 9 nearly completed. It is this ward which seems to form a criterion, nearly every person ap proached subscribing something. All that is required is for the people of the other wards to do as well and the Soldiers' Monument will be assured. In the Second aud Fourth Wards the solicitors have not carried the work so far, but the results have been most gratifying. Iu the First Ward the solicitors have done the least work, but Mr. Foster states that from now on the committee will push canvassing and the residents of this part of town may expect to be called upon during the present week or next.

A FORGOTTEN WELL UNCOVERED A forty-five foot pole, belonging to the United Telephone and Telegraph Company at the Heddena House stood right on the line to be occupied by the curbing required in connection with the new pavement to be put down in Mill street and it was ordered ro be re moved Monday. It proved neatly an all-day job for the linemen. The plan adopted was the usual one of digging another hole alongside the pole nearer to the buildings and when a suftloient depth had been attained to force the pole, heavily loaded with wires, over into the new hole where it would be oat of the way of the curb. In attempting to sink a hole yester day a curious discovery was made. A depth of several feet had been attain ed less thau a yard away from the pole when an opening appeared under the digging implements and oue of the men remarked they were in good luck, as they had just uncovered an old post hole, which could be reopened with little difficulty A "post hole'" it proved to be indeed, oue that could have nearly swallowed the big pole and several others like it. The opeu ing was an old well, which having seived its day and generation in the early days of the town was covered over some time in the past and the spot from time to time filled up a- required by the improvements on the street. The well was found to be securely walled up aud so far as coukl be de termined by the linemen was very deep. The opening was re-covered and another spot alongside the well select ed for the pole. Men of advanced years who have lived in Danville all their lives to have no reoollectiou of the well, which undoubtedly was maintained in oonnection with the Union Hall hotel In the earlier part of its history. It would not be strange if the old well passed out of use fifty years or more ago. TIME IS THE TEST. The Testimony of Danville People Stands the Test. The test of time is what tells the tale. The public soon find out when misrepresentations are made, and merits alone will stand the test of time. Danville people appreciate metit, and many mouths ago local citizens publicly endorsed Doan's Kid ney Pills; they do so still. Would a citizen make the statement which fol lows unless couvinced that the article was just as represented? A cure that lasts is the kind that every sufferer from kidney ills is looking for. David B. Jon»s,printer,of 401 Church St., says:"l think very highly of Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me of an enervatiug backache and lame ness across the small of my back. This trouble comrneuoed with sharp twinges just over my hips and later I had con siderable rain all over my back even extending to the lop of the head, in fact, I never knew where the pain would strike me uext. 1 saw Doan's Kidney Pills highly recommended and procured a box at a drug store. It only required a short time to show thar they were helping me, aud after tak ing the treatment for a time the trou ble left me entirely and I have had no return of it for years. I made a state ment to that effect in 1896 and that statement stajds as good today as it dirt then." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

With commendable public spirit the Northuuub rland Press opposes the ac tion of the council of that borough in imposing: restrictions upou the right of way of the Northumberland County Traction Company through the bor ough limits. Upon this subject it says: " Assuming that the people would make it an advatanga to the town, we advocate the granting of the right of way to the trolley line, desiring it be oaose a majority of our taxpayers want it. And how may we make it beDefloial to the community By com peting with other communities in business, thereby keeping trade at home, and in all ways possible attract ing people to the town, instead of ■ending them away from it. No town isolated from other towns can improve to any extent. This is unmistakably true. The best oppor tunity Northumberland haß been given for great improvement in many a day is by the desire of the Northumber land Ooonty Traction Company to have a route through the town, aud a better opportunity will be presented to us when several other lines desire passage through the borough."

TROLLEY TRACE ON E. MARKET STREET Following the arrival of a car load of tools for the Danville and Sunbury Street Railway, several contracts tor material and machinery were let by that company on Saturday ; other con tracts will be awarded today. In order that the trolley company might be iu a position to begin work, on Friday evening a conference was held by the trolley people aud t!ie Streets and Bridges Committee cf Council composed of Amos Vastine.G. F. Reifsnyder, Arthur Dietrich, J. H. Boyer and J. R. Hughes, at which some very important details as to the right of way and location of the track were settled. The question of a right of way was practically disposed of at the last meeting of the Borough Counoil when a communication was received from the Danville and Sunbury Street Rail way Company stating that the Dan ville and Bloomsburg Electrio Rail way Company by its indenture, dated February 23, 1905, had conveyed all its rights, title and interest in its route and franohise to the Danville and Sunbury Company. The route as designated lies from a poiut opposite the State Hospital down Market street to Mill, thence South on Mill to aud across the river b-idge, through Gear hart township and Riverside. The communication stated that the Dau ville and Sunbury Street Railway Company received said deed subject to all conditions, stipulations and re strictions as the ordinanoeto the Dan ville and Blooui6burg Company des ignated. The communication was accepted by Council and plaoed on file. In the purchase of the portion of the route desigjated the Danville and Sunbury Street Railway Company secures the right of way through that part of our Borough. The only matter left for Counoil to adjust was the locating of the track on East Market street,where the thoroughfare becomes too narrow to follow the custom and lay the track in the middle of the street. The matter was folly disoassed,Fri day evening, and the outcome was that on East Market street the track of the Danville and Sanbary line should be laid in the middle of the street until a point a short ditsauce above the Washington Hose Honse is reached ; there where the thorooghfare narrows down to twenty-foar feet, the track is to take the north side of the street, which it will follow to the upper end. That the upper part of East M*rßet street is too narrow to permit laving the track in the middle was a fact qoite apparent from the first and it was a mooted question with the resi dents which side should be occupied. The Committee on Streets and Bridges in placing the traok on the north side was largely.if not solely influenced by the fact that ttie water pipe lies on the south side of the street. It is ob vious, therefore, why 'the Committee preferred to leave that side of the thorooghfare open. The Danville and Sanbnry Street Railway has undeigone some change in officers. Charles P. Hancook suc ceeds C. C. Yetter, Esq., as President of the Company. Isaiah Hagenbuoh still remains Secretary and W. A. Hel ler, Treasorer and General Manager. The Board of Directors also remains the same. Cheated Death. Kidney trooble often ends fatally, bat by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, lowa, cheated death.

Holy Week. The whole Christian world has en ter apon a season of religious worship. Throogh the present week in the midst of this hostling, bustling twentieth century life given to iconoclasm and materialism, millions will be on their knees to do honor to the God-man who in far away Jadea almost two thou sand years ago,was living through the stress and agony of his last days of saorifioe for humanity. We hear much of the passing of the old foibles; of new creeds to free the craving for the higher life that lies deep in every soul. There are tliise who would place the deeds of philan thropy and the tenets of morality above the troths of Christianity as best meeting the needs of modern civi lization, and would fain believe as they assert that the world has out grown the Christ. What, then, of Holy Week? Are these days of prayer and praise through out Ghri<tendom a mere lifeless foim? Surely not! The men and women of every race and clime who this week will live over the hours between the hosannas of Piltn Sunday,through the sad solemnity of Good Friday to ttie exultant outburst of the Easter morn, are the answer to these cavillers. Theirs is a very real and vital belief iu the ever-living power of Cnristian ity, and the livableness of it* truths. ludeed, today, as never belore, there are suns that those troths aie being more and more deeply realized and practiced. Today the observance of Holy Week is wider and more truly fervent than ever b fore. Even the old Puritan dread of forms aud holiday, liai abat ed and many, nay most, ot the Evan gelical denominations now keep this week th• t has ever ben fraught with sad, yet joyful, significance for the Roman Catholics, ttie Episcopalians and ttie Lutherans.

Arbutus is Becoming Scarce. Trailing arbutus,the first wiLl-wocd flow< r of spring, has been in full bioom for the last week and manv arbutus parties have scoured the mountain slopes for the dainty blossoms. Ar butus which a few years ago was quite pleutiful in the woods, is grad ually becoming extinct. The flower will not grow in gardens or green houses, but must be in the woods to thrive.
