STATUS OF THE
CANAL QOESTIUN
A great deal ot inquiry has been
current lately as to the status of the
canal question. The old water way,
since its abandonment.has been allow
ed to remain uucared for until now it
is not only an unsightly ditch that is j
not at all in keeping with the other
improvements about the city, but is
also a menace to the health of the
community.
During last Spring the matter was
brought to the attention of President
Truesdale of the D. L. & W. Railroad
and tie later expressed his desire that
a conference be held between the Rail
road engineers and the Borough offic
ers to ascertain what was the best way
to eliminate.the evil. As a result Div
ision Engineer G. J. Ray with sever
al assistants came to this city on July
sth,and after going over the situation
met with the Sewer Committee of
Council and representatives of the
Danville Boaril of Trade, the local
representatives explaining to Mr. Ray
that it was their desire to have a ter
ra cotta pipe line run along the bot
tom of the canal.
Oil the Bth of July Borough Clerk
Patton, acting under the direction of
Council, wrote to Mr. Ray, stating
that the Borough was willing to fill
in the canal from the aqueduct to Wall
street if the D. L. & W. would pipe
the ditch for that distance and turn
the pipe line over to the Borough to
be used for sewage purposes. Since
that time no word has been received
from the railroad.
The people of Danville anxiously
await the decision of the 1). L. & W.
Company, and regret ihe delay in
dealing with so important a question.
There are, however,excuses which the
D. L. & W. might offer for not giving
immediate attention to the canal ques
tion in this city. The officials of the
railroad are laboring under a press of
work all along tiie line. Division En
gineer Ray alone having charge of jobs
amounting to SOOO,OOO between North
umberland and Binghamton, and hav
ing under his direction 18 assistant
engineers.
Stricken While Visiting Here.
P. M. Herd, of Baltimore, an old
time resident of this county, is lying
very nigh unto death at the home of
his son-in-law, Charles P. Murray,
Center street.
The case is a very sad one. Mr.
Herd, who is about eighty yeais of
age, accompanied by his wife, a few
years his junior, came to Danville a
short time ago anticipating a happy
visit with their son-in law and daugh
ter. Daring their sojourn here, how
ever, Mr. Herd was stricken with ap
oplexy, the stroke being an exception
ally severe one. affecting both right
and left side. The afflicted man has
regained consciousness but he is help
less and lies awaiting the end.
When a resident of Montour County
Mr. Herd was engaged in agricultural
pursuits and resided in the viciuity of
Washiugtrmville. He removed to
Maryland some thirty years ago
Southern Dealers Buying.
Dealers from the South are passing
through this section of the State buv
ing up or endeavoring to purchase all
the peaches in sight. As a business ex
perience this is something entirely
new to most peach growers in this sec
tion and is haul to account for es
pecially in viow of the fact that the
prospect for peaches is considered good
over the whole country. Dr. S. Y.
Thompson, who expects a yield of at
least two thousand bushels, has sold his
entire crop at " Pilgrim's Rest" to a
Baltimore dealer.
Dr. Thompson says the experience is
entirely new to him. He has sold the
peaches on the tree at a fixed price per
basket to be paid for before being re
moved from the orchard. Some per
sons regard the activity of the buyers
in this section as significant of the
fact that there is a shortage of peaches
in some other sections.
The earlier varieties of peaches are
already maturing and the Trait was
never finer. Several trees on Dr.
Thompson's farm which are already
ripe, were not inclnded in the sale.
Vladivostok may consider herself in
exceeding good luck if she escapes
without a bombarding.

Private in 'ol.-Now a Colonel.
In the early days of the Civil War
during the year 1801, the United States
Government opened a recruiting office
in this city. At that time John liubb
was a well known young man in the
community, and was employed at the
Rolling Mill now owned by the Read
ing Iron Company. Among other
young men who at that time enlisted
in the service young Bubb placed his
name on the roll and was accepted,
and became a piivate in the 12th
United States Infantry.
He was sent to the front, where he
proved to be a soldier as brave as any
who ever entered the service. He was
with the army of the Potomac during
the entire campaign, and through
meritorious service was from time to
time promoted until, at the close of
the Rebellion he had reached the office
of Second Lieutenant. At the expiia
tion of his first enlistment he re-enlist
ed and was transferred with the 12th
Regiment at the closo of the war to
the western frontier, where he continu
ed to advance until today he is the
Colonel commanding the regiment in
which he originally enlisted, and is
stationed in California.
His long service has entitled him to
the high position he has reached, and
it will be only a few years until he
has reached the age limit for Army
Officers, and will bo retired on the
liberal allowance provided by the gov
ernment.
Large Enrollments.
We are informed that the Literary
Institute and Statu Normal School, at
Bloomsburg, Pa., is enrolling large
numbers of students in its various de
partments for the ensuing year.
This school is increasing in popular
ity every year. Not only does it at
tract because of its high standard of
excellence, but also because the
school's reputation is so excellent and
far-reaching that young people educat
ed there have the best chance for posi
tions. We advise young people to
send for acatalogue.
Superior to Imported Wines.
Dr, S. F. Howland formerly of 29

Shot by Highwaymen.
With a bullet in his left side, which
he claims was the work of highway
men, Nelson Hoover,aged thirty years,
of Shamokin.was brought to the Mary
M. Packer Hospital for treatment, Hun
day.
Hoover contends that lie was on his
way home Saturday night, when he
was attacked at the intersection of
Commerce and Pearl streets, Shamok -
in, by two strange men.
To defend himself, Hoover drew a
revolver from the hip pocket of his
trousers, but before he could use it,
the men disarmed him and shot him
in the side with his own pistol.
They then placed him in a bag and
carried him up the railroad track half
a mile, and took all his money, which
amounted to twenty dollars.
It was nearly mnruing when lie te
gained consciousness.
There seems to be suspicious parts
to the story and Hoover's word is
doubted rn the vicinity he alleges the
assault was committed.
ARGDHENT WAS
HELD IMAV
The argument in the injunction pro
ceedings against the Danville and Sun
bury Street Railway Company in
which M F. (riiliek is plaintiff took
place before Judge Savidge at Sun
bury Monday. The hearing began on
Monday morning of last week and by
the time evidence was all in it was
time to adjourn The argument,there- '
fore, was postponed until vesterday. J
The injunction proceedings were in
stituted on July Pith, M. F. Guliok
seeking to restrain the defendants
from laying the track of their trolley
line in front of his property on Hazle
ron avenue without first oiitaining his
consent. The trolley company desires
to lay its track opposite the Gulick
dwelling next to the railroad, which
it claims is a half of the street over
which the plaintiff has no jurisdic
tion, Gulick, however, takes the posi
tion that the Pennsylvania railroad
ties in the center of Ha/.letou avenue
and that as his half be controls the
entire space between the building liue
and the railroad.
The hearing was lirst jiostpoued from
Monday, July 17th, to Monday, July
24th,when it was understood the hear

The argument took place yesterday

was followed by Grant Herring and
James Scarlet for the defendants, H.

ney trouble, and you should seek a
remedy which is known to cure the
k ; dneys.
Doau's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use. It has cured many stubborn
cases in Danville No need to experi
ment. Follow the advice of a Danville
citizen and be cured yourself.
John James, pnddler.of 11 Sycamore
street, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
were of immense benefit to me in a
case of backache and kidney complaint
some years ago. 1 had suffered for
months with pain and lameness in my
back and used all kirds of remedies
but received no permanent benefit. I
was becoming discouraged but when
Doan's Kidney Pills were recommend

J*luch Candy is Poisonous.
Food Commissioner Warren has an
nounced that his agents have obtained
evidence that much impure candy and
cake is being sold. He said that his
attention was called to the matter by
parents who had been advised by phy
sicians that the stomach ailments from
which their children were suffering
was due to their having eaten doctor
ed candy and cake, and a chemical
analysis of samples had disclosed that
mineral pigments or orchres had been
used to make artificial chocolate He
said that in many cases it had been
found that in some artificial chocolate
layer cake the chocolate consisted of
ordinary pigment and glucose, while
a coal tar dying belonging to the azo
group, many ot which are peiisonous
had been substituted for eggs. Clioco
late fudge has been discovered to be
nothing more or less than paint and
glucose. He said his counsel, State
Senator Brown, is preparing a case
that would mean the arrest within a
few days of a well known Philadel
phia manfae-tarer in connection with
tho sale of artificial chocolate.
In the Dog Days.
Wliy is it, pray, that man, of all
created thing*, fails to be at his bent
during the summer solstice''
Vegetables ami animals are at their
tirle of strength and maturity
during this epoch. Why should not
ma:; be at his best physically during
June and August?
Answer :
Man is out of touch with nature. He
dons not live a normal life. Ho runs
to excesses. Ho is intemperate.
A highly wrought condition of eith
er body or mind is fatal to strength or
satisfaction during the heated term
For instance:
Would yon jam the furnace of your
house full of coal on a sweltering Au
gust day ? Yet you staff your stomach
with heating viands as if it were the
dead of winter and you needed the
higher temperature.
Ko very moderate in your eating and
your drinking in dog days. Eat little
if any meats. Kat fruits and veget
ables. Hriuk plenty of water with no
ice in it.
Above all watch your mental ther
mometer.
One may be over so careful of his
diet and yet work himself into a fever
by rnei'al tension. Worry is heat.
Anger is high temperature. Haste is
fuel added to flames. Over-exertion
burns up vitality.
Work, physical or mental, will not
hurt.
Indeed, work is necessary. It keeps
fine's mind oil the weather, work with
out worry. L'txiness may be as bad as
work if you fume over it. Delibera
tion of effort, serenity, good cheer,
normality these will take you
through.
If you lived the natural life you
would be at your ripest and best dur
ing nature's maturing season Instead,
you live at your lowest
The reason is plain
Ititemiierance.
INDEPENDENTS
STORING COAL
For 4 the first time in the hi story of
tho autliraoite mining region the in
dividual coal operators of this section
are stocking prepared coal at the mines
says a despatch from Ha/.letou.
That the mine owners are not actuat
ed in this matter by philanthropic mo
tives in famishing employment for the
coal heavers may he inferred from the
statement of one of these men on Mini
day last, when he said: "The lesson
learned by the mine owners in the last
strike was a most valuable one. The
mine owner now fully roalizes that
the employes are a business entity,and
must be reckoned a party to the money
making scheme which the preparation
and selling of coal involves."
The action of the Pardeen, Leisen
riugs, Markles, Coxes and numerous
small operators who, during the week
began unloading cars of prepared
domestic sizes near the mines, gives
proof positive that they appreciate
better than ever before trie necessity
for doing as the larger corporations
have been doing—making coal yards
of their own and husbanding a stock
for any emergency.
There is a tacit agreement among
the independent operators that,in event
of hostilities being opened next April,
the direction of the fight shall be left
to one of the larger railroads, either
the Lackawanna or the Heading.
Whatever this influence may direct
will be accepted by shippers of every
calibre. This is part of the lesson
which the smaller operators had forc
ibly impressed upon their minds dur
ing the last strike, and they are now
profiting thereby in storing coal on
their own property.
That the operators are disposed to
believe that the United Mine Workers
cannot put up as strong a front as they
did three years ago was shown at a
meeting held recently in Hazleton,
when a representative of one of the
big noal carrying railroads stated that
the death of Mark Hanna took from
the mine workers their strongest ad
vocate and most powerful friend.
President Mitchell in an interview
stated that If the United Mine Work
ers' organization has 130,000 by next
year ho can secure recognition and
present wage conditions. If the organ
ization has half that many members
lie can guarantee them nothing

DANGEROUS VERTIGO.

If the person subject to attack of
dizziness or swimming of tho head,
commonly called vertigo, would only

BOOTIES OF NATOBE
IT HOSPITAL DBOONDS
There are few, fatiny, spots abou j
the country which at this time of the j
year present a more pleasing appear- i
auce than the grounds surrounding the '
Danville Hospital for tlie Insane.
A stroll through the spacious grounds j
is a revelation of the beauties of land- |
scape gardening. The grounds are kept
in perfect condition throughout the |
year, hut especial pains are expended j
upon their care during tlie spring and |
summer months. The beautiful ex- j
pause of close cropped, terraced lawn, j
dotted here and there with beds of •
beautiful blooming flowers, the mag- j
nificont shade trees, the well kept
driveways, tho sparkling fountains. ■
all combine to present to the eye ;i
vista that is inspiring.
The hot house in the rear of the !
main building is the winter home of !
many of the rare Southern plants that
grace the lawn during the summer; i
so that parts of the grounds resemble
tropical gardens resplendent in palms,
century plants and other tropical
growths.
On either side ot the main entrance
paths lead to wooded dells where the
soft shade of large overhanging trees
and the winding brook invite tho
wanderer to rest.
The neatness that seems to bo the
controlling spirit of the institution
dees not confiue itself to the beautiful
expanse of garden in front of the main j
building, but extends to all parts of i
the grounds. In the truck garden in
the rear, at tho small picnic ground,
in the attractive little summer houses,
in fact all over the place are notice- i
able the careful attention that is giv- '
en the Hospital grounds.

The Berwick Bridge.
Looking into Berwick's future a
great growth id" population may be i
seen and a wide expanse of territory >
covered with residences, business '
places, shops, and mills. All of this !
can be readily foreseen when author- j
itative announcement is made that the <
Berwick plant of the American Car j
and Foundry Company will be made j
the largest car manufacturing plant of '
the sixteen owned by the company.
Along with Berwick, West Berwick, j
North Berwick, Nescopeck and all !
smaller towns on both sides of the j
river will grow and here we center 1
down to the objective point. With the ;
towns ou both sides of the river grow- '
iug it can readily be seen that the :
tratlio across the new bridge will be
greatly increased. Possibly to start
with there will be ten times as many
persons and conveyances to cross the
now bridge in a day as there were to
cross the old bridge. This traffic may
be increased within a few years to
such an extent that there will be more
people crossing the Berwiek-Nescopeck
bridge than any that spans the Sus
quehanna. Danville with a handsome
new bridge, concrete floor and all
modern in construction would be no
where in comparison in traffic with a
bridge at this place.
We now look with pride and satis
j faction upou the progress being made
j in preparation for the building of the
I piers and the work which is to follow
in the erection of our bridge. But hero
the conservative citizen stops to think
aud look into the futuie. It is a fact
that the State will build our bridge
and the people are pretty well acquaint
ed with the plans. We all of us know
that the floor in the bridge is to be of
plank and a plank floor on such a
bridge doesn't seem to come up to our
expectations. It isn't in keeping with
our progress and from an economical
standpoint of view it is agitated that
action should be taken at the present
time toward having the plank tluor
stricken from the plaus and a concrete
floor laid.
The engineer in charge states that
the iron work will he just as heavy as
was recommended in the report,which
entailed tho concrete lloor, anil there
should be no reason why concrete can
not yet be laid.
It is the duty of the Commissioners
of Columbia county and Luzerne coun
ty to consider this point carefully.
Take up tho matter with the trolley
company which expects to enter tho
Horough of Nescopeck by crossing t! e
bridge. It' the subject is thought over
carefully the Commissioners will
doubtless see the chance to economize
by arranging tor a concrete flour. —Ber

"Yellow Jack."
it comes as a shock, this story of
yellow fever at New Orleans.
The fact that the first report merely
oozed through, so to speak, dons not
make it less impressive, and carries
with it the suggestion that it has been
announced after deliberation and con
siderable activity by tho health auth
orities to localize the suspected cases.
Yellow fever is no jest. In the mem
orable epidemic of 1878 it carried
away 5000 souls in New Orleans and
Memphis and tiie country between.
Even the north remembers those davs
—the terror thereof and the suspense.
For that matter, the north ha I cause
of its own to dread the pestilence.
Later than 182.! Philadelphia was
scourged by it. Boston was a fellow
sufferer in 17H7. Of late years it has
crept up the Mississippi vail y, only
to be checked fortunately by sanitaiy
measures and redeeming frosts.
No. Yellow fever is no joke. Nor
does the sonth regard it as o le. The
whole country is with the south on
guard against it.
For there is this about if. There is
, reason to believe that man's fight
against the pestilence is on the point
|of victory. That such a gratifying re
sult is possible is shown by the fact
that the disease has been rare even in
Cuba since the Americans occupied
the island in 18!) Sand cleaned it. All
that is needed now is to corner the
fugitive cases that may develop on the
1 gulf coast and treat them with the
j concentrated experience of a costly
I past, and strike the fiual blow that
| will make it a happily forgotten night
mare.
After that, to deal death to it on
tho isthmus and the West Indies to
crown tho medical and hygienic
achievements of the 20th century.
The Only Way.
There is no way to maintain the health
and strength of mind and body except
by nourishment. There is no way to
nourish except through the stomach.
The stomach must he kept healthy,
pure and sweet or the strength will
let down and disease will Ket up. No
appetite, loss of strength,netvousness,
headache, constipation, bad breath,
sour risings, rifting, indigestion, dys
pepsia and ail stomach troubles that
are curable are quickly cured by the
use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. Kodol

Aim of the Common Schools.
That the building of character is the
real aim of the schools and the ulti
| mate reason for the expenditure of mil
lions for their maintenance. There is
in the minds of the children and youth
of today a tendency toward a disregard
for constituted authority; a lack of
respect for age and superior wisdom,a
weak appreciation of the demands of
duty, a disposition to follow pleasure
and interest rather than obligation
and order.
These resolutions are by the Na
tional Educational association which
concluded its sessions last week.
The educators have gotten hold of
the right end of the string.
The prime purpose of our common
school system, that for which it was
ordained, kept in mind from its very
inception, is the making of good citi
zens.
The teaching of text books is bat a
means to au end.
The object to be aimed at is the
making of character.
It is necessary that the future citi
zen should he taught to read and write
and spell and compute. But it is far
moro necessary that lie should be
taught, to live soberly and righteous
ly,loving justice and hating wroug.
having respect for authority,regarding
duty as above pleasure and purity
above all things.
Therefore—
Whatever is necessary to be studied
in order that such lessons uiay be iu
culcatod must be employed.
And it is no sufficient answer to say
t.iat such studies are "fads."
It is the proper study of history and
biography and music and drawing aud
the manual arts contribute to the
teaching of truth aud justice and
beauty and purity then these studies
are a necessary part of education.
The weaknesses of tlio rising genera
tion as pointed out by these resolu
tions are also the weaknesses of our
day and civilization. They are dang
erous weaknesses. Disrespect for 1 »vv
and order, lack of inspiration to duty,
stylishness these must be counteracted
by the teaching and iufluonce of the
sobools.
Above all other things the public
schools must teach ethics.
The three K's are all right in their
place,but it should never bo forgotten
that th.) one great purpose of tlio
American schools is to put moral fibre
into tlio coming citizen.
Dangerous and Uncertain.

scalp diseases, DeWitt's Witch Hazel
