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."

Council's Wrong Action.
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."

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,

E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, lowa,
cheated death. He says: "Two years
ago I had Kidney Trooble, which caus
ed me great pain,suffering and anxiety,
bot I took Eleotrlo Bitters, which ef
fected a complete care. I have also
foand tbem of great benefit lo general

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. Daily services will
be held iu many of the churches of
our oity. Who dare say that ttie result
of those services will be as nothing?

BADGES ARRIVE
FOB UUI FIREMEN
The firemen's badges receutly order
ed have arrived and these add a feat
ore to the equipment of our fire de
partment which places it on a par
with that of the most effective and
best regulated iu the State.
The badges, which were procured
through Otto Welp, a member of the
Philadelphia Fire Department, are ex
ceedingly handsome—o:ie of gold for
the fr'ire Chief and the others of sil
ver—one for each of the Assistant En
gineers and one for eat h of the Fira
Policemen
The latter, twelve in number, so far
as performing any part is concerned
form a new feature of the fire depart
ment. The Fire Police, three from
each company, have been regularly
elected for years past, but it was a
pieoe of idle ceremony. The present
year was the first that they were sworn
in and assigned to dutv. Henceforth
the Fire Police will be an important
factor at every fire. With the new
badges displayed as a mark of author
ity it will be their duty to keep things
straight about a fire—to stretch a rope
if necessary to keep the crowds back
and to see to it that property removed
from burning buildings is taken care
of and not sto'.eu.
The Dauville Fire Department,is as
well drilled as it is well equipped Its
prompt response in times of fire has
ofteu been commented upon while in
the actual work ot fighting fire our
firemen have always acquitted them
selves iu a way that called forth
praise.

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. Persons in search of the deli
cate clusters of flowers are too eager
to obtain large bunches, and in con
sequence, the whole plant, roots pud
all, aie torn from the ground. This
with the cutting of timber and numer
ous forest fires threatens to make this
most fragrant ot flowers rare in this
vicinity in a few years. Even now
those in searoh of it must goto certain
favored places away from the path of
spring flower gatherers to be success
ful.
As those who know the flower hive
seen.it has two colors.piuk and white.
The pink flowers are generally the
larger and grow in large clusters. As
a rale the pink flowers grow under tie
leaves and in shaded places. The flow
ers that grow in the bright sunlight
are usually white, although theie are
exceptions to b th cases. Smlig'it has
a tendancy to darken the flower
Arbutus is the first out of door plant
to bloom in the spring, yet late in the
fall it buds again and at times, when
the fall is very late, it comes out iu
full bloom and a few of the fragrant
sprays can be found ut that tiin >.

Cerebrospinal fleningltis.
The mysterious disease of meningitis
that has been puzzliug the prople, and
some of the physician*, the past few
months, is now on the decliue. The
New York World in commenting upon
the ravages of the disease says:
"Cerebrc-spinal meningitis is an im
perfectly nnderstood inflammation of
the membranes envi loping the brain
and the spinal marrow. It is most to
be feared in poor and olos -ly crowded
quarters of great oities, yet in rural
Silesia it h»s been so sovere that the
peasants have fled from its ravages,aud
in New York a railroad pre«idtnt has
died of it in a fashionable hotel. It is
very sudden in its ata* k and causes ex
oessive suffering. New York will not
soon forget the description of the
agonies suffered by a poor girl who
had contracted meningitis and was
wrongfully putin a cell for alcohol
ism. The disease is doubtless in some
manner communicable.
" Half a century ago oerebro-spinnl
