A WOMAN'S
TEBRIBLE FALL
Mrs. Zerfiug, of Suuburv. who is
visiting her daughter, Mrs. George A.
Hossman on Piue street, met with a
terrible fall yestordav afternoon, but
escaped with but slight injuries.
The Rossuian borne is being re
modeled and the tear part of the
house just now is in au unfinished
state Tbere is a porch on a 1 vel
with the second story. The railing
guardiug the outer edge bad been re
moved and a loose scautliug had been
made to do duty iti its stead.
Mrs. Zertiug was standing on the
porch aud unaware of the insecure
nature of the support undertook to lean
against the railing. In an instant
she went over backward falling to
the ground below a distance of some
fifteen feet.
Iu tailing she missed striking a rain
barrel by only a hairbreadth and
what was still more fortunate lauded
iu a grape viue which broke her fall
aud caused her to land on her feet.
Mrs. Zfcitiug braised her shoulder
pretty badly and was considerably
the worse for the shock, but no bones
were broken. It was thought last
evening that her injuries are very
slight and she was resting easily.
Bent tier Double.
"I kuew no one, for tour weeks,
wheu I was sick with typhoid fever and
kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Aunie
Hunter, of Pittsburg, Fa., "and when
I got better, although I had one of the
best doctors I could get, I was bent
double, and had to rest IUV hands on
my kuees wheu I walked. Krom this
terrible affliction I was rescued by
Electric Bitters, which restored my
health aud strength, and now I can
walk as straight as ever. They are
simply wonderful." Guaranteed to

Fourth of July at hospital o
As has been the custom for years
the Fourth was again celebrated in an
appropriate manner at the Slate Hos
pital. The wards and halls were dec
orated with flags aud bunting as a
reminder of the day, and in the after
noon the usual field sports were iu
dalged in.
Five hundred of the inmates were
taken out on the lawn to enjoy the
games, which lasted the greater part
of the afternoon, and in which the
patients were the contestants. The
contests consisted of wheelbarrow
race, three-legged race, skirt race,
potato race, bag race, tng-of-war,
driving the nail, aud other simi
lar sports Each victor was presented
with a small silk flag as a prize. The
Hospital orchestra furnished the mu
sic, and cake and lemonade was serv
ed as refreshments.
That the patients enjoyed the con
tests immeusely was plainly evident
to a spectator.
Band Concert.
The Catawissa Band rendered a con
cert on the Court House grounds Tues
day afternoon. The Cat »wissi* Band
is one of the finest in this section
and its nieiits aie well known in Dan
ville Consequently it had a big au
dience during the concert. Its per
formance was much praised by Dan
ville people and visitors alike.
Woman's Narrow Escape.
Mrs. Lohman, of Berwick, with a
babe in her arms fell some 15 feet
down over Ihe abutment at the Cata
wissa river bridge, Saturday, and es
caped with several bad bruis's. Every
oue thought the hahe would he killed,
but it escaped all injury. Mrs. Loh
can had just got oft the tiolley ; she
stepped upou a stone,which gave way
aud caused her to fall
Expressmen to Organize.
Steps have been taken for the reor
ganization of the International Broth
erhood of Railway Expressmen. The
brotherhood was organized first iu
March ]Uo3,in Lancaster, Pa., but the
formation of two rival organizations
and a strike at that time retatded its
growth The rival organizations have
disbanded since then, and the field is
now clear for the work of building up
the expressman's organization.
EDWARD RUPP'S
TINY LOCOMOTIVE
There is on exhibition in the wind
ow of Moore's hardware store a minia
ture locomotive and tender built hv
Edwaid Rupp, son of our townsman,
liarmou Hupp, Kast Front street,that
is a wonder of mechanical skill and
painstaking workinauship
The locomotive was built by Mr.
Kupp when ho was in the employ ot
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of
Philadelphia, several years ago. ile
was at the time highly complimented
by his employers, and the mechanism
has since been the subject of much
favorable criticism from mechanical
experts. Mr. Rupp at present is in
the employ of the Vulcan Iron Works,
Wilkes-Barre.
The locomotive is 20 inches long
and 8 inches high, the tender is 10 in
ches long and 5 inches high. It is a
model of the Pennsylvania passenger
engine, number 888. The patterns for
the different parts were all made by
Mr. Rupp, who also made the castings
aud assembled the parts.
The extreme wouder of the locomo
tive is the atteutiou that Mr. Rupp
has paid to small details—each aud
every part that appeared on P. R. R.
locomotive uuuiber 888 is reproduced
in the miniature counterpart.
The Patriots of Peace.
Remember what Sherman said ahont
war? It also applies to Independence
day and the popping, roaring, crack
ing, whooping, exploding that drives
folk almost to insanity and means that
we are a nation of patriots and are so
glad of it that every year we burn
tons of powder and maim, mutilate
and cripple between 4,000 and 5,000
human beings— mostly boys
And the popular idea of patriotism
is war. We are glad we fought or
that our ancestors fought, and the
hair bristles ou the back of our necks,
and we feel, by hokey. that we can
tight again and that the foreigners
from London Town to Vladivostok
had better beep oft the toes of your
Uncle Sam. Huh !
All right. The navy is growing
and we are spending millions for tar
get practice and more millions for
great guns. But let's hope hard that
there will never be auother war, and
that widows aud orphans will never
again be made in a strife with other
nations or at home God grant it, is
the prayer of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily a soldier.
A man doesn't have to storm a fort to
prove that he loves his country. That
kind of bravery is line. It gets into
the papers and there is a thrill of
pride even in the later days when
flowers are strewn on graves and wom
en in black weep.
But don't yon forget that there aie
more patriots today than ever before.
There are millions of them. They are
behind coonters and in shops; they
are running locomotives and tilling
farms. They are not thinking much
about war. They have no hatred in
their hearts.
And bow is it that they are patriots?
Because they are trying to do their
duty as American eitizeus. That is
how.
They toil till their backs are stoop
ed and their hands gnarled aud knot
ted. They rear homes and honor good
women. They bring up children aud
educate them. They do not hesitate
to deny themselves to the end that
those who come after them shall find
greater opportunity and till a better
place in the affairs of the world than
did their parents.
They are the fathers and mothers ot
progress. They are the bone and
blood aud sinew that make the nation
strong They are the living exponents
of charity, decency, energy and hum
an love, and they are stronger than
the com bined armies and navies ot the
world
And so. while the explosions in
memory of '7O shake the earth, be
glad that you are a worthy mdinber of
that great army—The Patriots of
Peace.
God guide them all.
A Surprise Party.
A pleasant surprise party may be
given to your stomach and liver, bv
taking a medicine which will relieve
their pain aud discomfort, viz: Dr
King's New Life Pills. They are a
most wonderful remedy,affording sure
relief and cure, for headache, dizzi
ness and constipation. 25c at Paules

in this city Monday for a visit with
his family over the Fourth of July.
Mr. Butler says there are several Dan
ville people employed at the same
place among them being Edward
Books, W S Craig aud Theodoie
Kidgeway
MAY RESULT IN
FERMENT CHORUS
It is believed that out of the graud
chorus, which was sosuccessfully.ren
dered at the Court House, Fourth of
July, will grow a permanent chorus
henceforth to bo maintained in our
town.
The chorus proved one of the great
est features of ttie celebration, and
hundreds of people, it is said, came to
Dauville expressly for the pleasure of
hearing it. It is gratifying that they
were not disappointed.
It was indeed a fine success, marked
by harmony, correct reading with all
the lights aud shades essential to the
fullest effect. Dr. Stock is a thor
ough musician and he lia-i proven
himself a most competent director.
The chorus was Hr. Stock's own con
ception and it must be highly gratify
ing to him that it scored such a suc-
I cess and that it was so highly appre
ciated by the public. That iu prepar
ing tor the chorus Dr. Stock sacrificed
much of his own valuable time goes
without saying.
WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Have Done Great Ser
vice for People Who Work.
Most Danville People work every
day in some strained, unuatural posi
tion—bending constantly over a desk
—riding on jolting wagons or cars
doing laborious house work ; lifting,
reachiug or pulling,or trvmg the back
in a hundred and one oilier ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weaken and
injure the kidneys until they fall be
hind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in had backs.
Henry Collins, moulder, of 445 N.
6th. St., Bloouisburg,Pa., says:"For
years I suffered with kidney compli
ant, hachache and bladder weakness.
I used all kinds of remedies but none
of them seemed to have any beneficial
effect. The secretions fiom the kid
neys gave me constant annoyance aud
bothered me night and day. My back
became so weak and painfull across
the loins that I could scarcely get
about at times. 1 have had to lay off
from work time after time. I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in the
papers anil very highly recomeuded by
people that I knew. 1 obtained a box
and used them as directed. I never
had anything act as promptly in uiv
life, 'ihe first box cured me of the
pain and weakness. 1 kept on taking
the lemedy until I had used four boxes
when the bladder weakness left me. I
have had no trouble with the kidney
secretions for at least two years. I
consider Doan's Kidney Pills worth
their weight in gold.''

| Royal Arcanum Takes Action.
The Royal Arcanum Councils of
Wilkesbarre, Pittston, Ashley, Hazle
ton. White Haven, Mountain Top,
Kingston, Plymouth and a number of
others from that locality have passed
resolutions demanding that the Grand
Council of Pennsylvania meet not lat
er than July 15 aud call upon the Su
preme Council to revoke the action
increasing the rates. The resolutions
declare: "We do not concede the
right of the Supreme Couucil to
change the existing rates of assess
ment that shall force the older mem
bers out of order. We, therefore, pro
test against the action of the Supreme
Couucil as an injustice to all mem
bers. We consider that the new plan
is a violation of promises made to all
members upon joining the order, and
the proposed change of rates would
tend to disrupt, the order." Other
Councils all over the state are taking
similar action.

BIG CROP
WITNESSED GAME
The game of base ball at Hewitt's
Park on Tuesday afternoon proved to
be one of the most important features
of the day. The Danville A. A had
for their opponents the sturdy Spring
field team, of Shamokiu, and a battle
royal was expected.
The crowd began to gathei two
hours before the game and long hefoie
the first ball was pitched the grand
stand was tilled to its full capacity,
fully one half ttie seats being occu
pied by ladies It was the largest crowd
that ever attended a game at the park,
and the enthusiasm ran high, The
visitors had a great many friends on
the grounds who cheered each good
play vigorously Of course the local
fans were all 011 hand rooting for the
home team, and each side tried to
outdo the other in the matter of cheer
ing McOloud was in the box for
Danville and Skoskie for the visitors
McCloud was at his best ami up to
the ninth inning followed only two
hits. In the ninth however, after two
man were out the locals, by a misplay
allowed a man to get on first. This
was followed by a hit, and with men
ou first and second Bingham oaoght
one just at his liking and by a a beau
tiful line drive placed it in the wheat
field above the park for a home run
"with two ruuners ahead of him These
three runs were not euougli to even
tie the soore. The locals had, at va
rious times during the came placed
seven ruin to their credit, which lead
proved enough to decide the game as
the next batter went out ou a high
fly to Edgar.
The visitors appeared in beautiful
new uniforms of grey and blue and
as they passed through the park they
were very much admired. The
tiual score was Dauville 7, Spring
field 5.
The home team will leave 011 Fri
day morning for Burnhatu,where they
will play two games with the strong
team of that place. As the Blooms

Well Known Man Dies.
WILKESB A liHE, July 8. —lu the
death of Liddon'Klick. Wyoming Val
ley has lost one of its leading citizens
and meu of affairs. He was promi
nently identified with the legal, fi
nancial, industrial and journalistic
interests of this region and had been
for several years the president and
editor of the Wilkes-Harre Times. His
death came like a shock as his condi
tion was not believed to be serious.
Yesterday morning he suddenly grew
worse and the end soon came. The
leal cause of death was henimorrhage
of the brain.
Liddon Flick was probably one of
the most widely knowu men in this
section of the state. He was born in
WilkesKarre, October 29, 1858, and
was therefore but 4fi years of age. He
came of that good old revolutionary
stock and was a descendant of Ger
lach Faul Flick who settled in Nor
thampton couuty in 1751. Mr. Flick's
father was Keuben J. Flick.
Owing to iiis great business connec
tions he abandoned the law and his
life since that time until the day of
his death was one of industrial activ
ity, he being interested in many of
the leading institutions of this sec
tion. He organized several financial
institutions among them the Wyoming
Valley Trust Company. In 18i>4 he
organized the Times and was the
president aud editor until the day of
his death.
Mr. Flick was also interested in
many other enterprises.
Liddon Flick was a man highly re
spected in the community aud iu his
death the Wyoming Valley at large
mourns his demise with his family.
He had gained quite a fortuue by
striot attention to business and hon
orable dealings among his fellow men

CAR OPERATED
YESTERDAY
The car of the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Company, re
cently equipped, made its initial trip
yestdrday forenoon and last evening
egan making regular trips tor the
ccommodation'of the public.
About it o'clock the car wan brought
out of the Structural Tubing yard ami
placed on the trolley track. The cur
rent wa« turned on and it wan brought
down the strtet as far an George
Knar's undertaking establishment
where the steps were attached and
some other woik was done. The car
was detained there for an hour or
more. About 11 o'clock everything
was ready and the car started tfn its
initial trip down Kasr Market struct.
A largo crowd of men and boys had
assembled at the spot watching the
workmen as they fastened on the steps.
When the car was ready to start as
mmv men and boys as could gain ad
mittance climbed into the rar, who h
was soon packvd full. Several seats in
the frout of the car were reserved for
a company of ladies, who bail been
invited to share the honor of making
the initial trip.
Among the ladies 011 board tlie car
when it started were: Mrs. G. 1\
Hancock, Miss Jennie Hancock, Mrs.
. A. Heller, Mrs. A. H. Woolley,
Mr. T. J. Price, Mis. J. 1?. Cleaver.
Miss Martha Harpel, Miss Josephine
Oousart ami Miss Jamas also enjoyrd
a ride on the first trip.
The car was in charge of VV. A.
Heller. 0. P. Hancock, President,
and C. O. Yetter, Attorney of the Com
pany, were also on the car along with
Howard Heller, A. H. Woolley and a
representative of the Morning New*.
The car rounded the curve at the
Montour House very nicely and pro
ceeded as far as the Court House
where a rather lengthy stop occurred
while some parts of the running gear
were readjusted, after which the car
proceeded to the river bridge where
it was halted while W. G. Brown,
who was ou board with his camera,
took a picture of the car filled with
passengers.
The car then retraced its way run
ning up to the eastern terminus of
the roail and later back again, part
wav across the river bridge. With
each succeeding trip the car ran more
easily, rounding the carve at the Mon
tour House without the least difficul
ty. About six o'clock it ran all 1 lie
way across the river bridge and from
then 011 made regular trips.
Richard Hullihen and J. <). Eyerly
will act as conductors on the new
line. H. D. Farnswoith, who hails
from Sunburr, will tie the inotormau
With today the car will run on a reg
ular schedule.
\V_ A. Heller last evening stated
that the cur w»11 tin run as long as
business warrants ir Should there
not be sufficient business tbe company
will suspend running until the track
is completed to a further point.
Workmen are employed at present in
laying the track to the Hospital for
the Insane. It will probably be but a
very short time until the track will
be completed so as to permit the cons
pany to do business on a paying basis.
The residents along East Market
street are delighted with the progress
made and at every point the approach
of the car on its initial trip was hail
ed with delight.
In spite of the many obstacles en
countered the running of the first car
has been brought about in an incred
ibly short period of time, all of which
is due to the perseverance and good
management of W. A. Heller the orig
inal promoter, and the other practical
men who have since become associat
ed with him in the enterprise

There were six men in Company I'>
Ninth infantry. who v.%j< nicknamed

and it was natural that by and by a
story should get alloat tfiat the tk re
cruits were fellows without sand. It
could be truthfully said that their
courage bad not been tested, as the In
dians had been quiet for a long time,
but no one argued thus It was easier
to no with the majority and say with
HOllie of the old vvteralis;
"You just mark my words If we
ever tret Into a brush with the reds it
will take foil* - men an!' • to hold these
dudes on tile tiring line."
The .Jim I 1 ndie were attracted to
each other and formed ti coterie. They
organized a glee club, sang love soncs,
read popular novels and bought toilet
Boap. They even wore linen collars,
and it was said of ;*-t least three of
them that they rubbed their face with
bay rum after a -have. The Jims were
guyed and ridiculed, but they went
their way and bided their time.
They bad putin a year of ttiis when
the call came for the Ninth to take the
field. The red men had grown tired of
peace and w anted war again
"Now keep your eyes on our Jim
Dandies." said t!ie veterans to each
other as they went marching away.
"If we buck up ag'ln the Sioux you'll
see six sissy men fainting away to be
chucked into the ambulance. 1 '
The Ninth went out for business and
found it On the third day after leav
ing the fort it found a big force of In
dians in its front, and the tight was
hot from the beginning. The red* bad
the advantage of numbers, and by and
by they began to work around on the
left Hank of the command. The colo
nel saw it. but he could spare only a
few men to checkmate the move. They
must get into the broken ground and
die lighting. It was a military neces
sity that a small force should be sent,
but he hesitated to issue the order, and
I finally called for a sergeant to lead a

dles eame to the front at once. Even
on the march they had clean collars on.
"What in time is this!" growled the
sergeant as they stepped out. "It's
going to take old veterans to hold that
ground, and those are only dudes."
"(Jive ns a chance, colonel," appealed
one of the Jims.
The seven men took open order and
double quicked across the open Into
cover, and the Fix Jims sang as they
went. The colonel looked blank, and
500 men laughed, and the Indians al
most. ceased their lire us they wonder
ed wtiat was up.
"Now, dudes," said the s«-geant as
they reached cover, "this is no making
love to a red I. »-ided girl on the ve
randa of a summer hotel. We've got
to hold them Injuns oIT thin flank If we
die trying. You've got a chance to
show what you're made of, and durn
my buttons if i don't plus* the lirst man
who looks to the rear!"
For answer the Jims sang a vers*
of a war ballad and then dropped down
Just as the Indian bullets bogan to sing
about there The sergeant cursed and
muttered, and over on the line, half a
mile away, the major said to the colo
nel as the singing reached their ears:
"Did you ever know the like of that?
I'm afraid this minstrel show business
will end in our being flanked "
But even as he spoke the muskets
got to work and rattled away so rapid
ly that there seemed a score instead
of half a J »zen, and the colonel's face
lost its 100. of anxiety. A force of
thirty Indians were sent down against
the half dozen, but they could not get
nearer than a certain ltne There was
an open space to cross, and every red
skin who tried It was tumbled on hts
face. When thero was shooting to do.
the Jims buckled down to it. When
there came a lull, one of them would
strike up a song, and the others would
join In the ( horns. The sorg*int sought
to hush them, saying that songs did not
belong to I'ptoti's tactlcn. but they
sang the louder and sang him down.
Tile Ninth had got itself Into a liole.
It was not strong enough to drive the
enemy from its . ;ii ; ivere it to
attempt a retr • ratio movement the In
dians would encouraged to swarm
out in full foi e. The otllcers saw tho
situation before tho men did, but when
the lutti* became rware of It there
was a flutter along the line. It might
have been more than a flutter, and the
colonel's heart was in his mouth and
his teeth set hard when from the Jim
Dandies over on the flank came the
rousing chorus of "John Brown. Tt
stopped the flutter. Some men laughed
j and some swore. but the song led their
: thoughts into another channel.
Again the Indians pressed down on

that only half a do-en men opposed
