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. REUNION OF 137(1 REGIMENT An interesting military event will take place in Danville 011 September 17th next. This will be a reunion ot the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regiment P. V. I.,the first reunion of which took place in our town some fifteen years ago. Company A, under Captain Shreve, was made np in great part of Danville men. Captain Shreve was a book keeper in the Company Store, while among the company's survivors arc: Hon. James Foster, Thomas Jones, O. B. Sweitzer, Judge K G. Blee, Sam uel Lunger and S. M Waite The late Captain George Lovett was also a member of Company A and at the last reunion held on the Battle field at. Antietam a year ago he was elected President ot the Regimental Associa tion. Owing to the death of Captain Lovett the Association is without a President at the present, time. Hon. James Foster is a former Presi dent of the Regimental Association. Survivors representing Companies of the 137 th regiment are located at Dan ville, Bloomsburg, Bradford and other points. Scranton and Mauch Chunk each had two companies A meeting will be held in G. A. R. Hall on Saturday evening next at 7 o'clock for the purpose of appointing committees to co-operate with the officers of the Association in making airangements. Daniel J. Newman, of Scranton, Secretary of the Regimental Association, will be present at the meeting. 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.

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 ing would be final. It was a disap pointment. therefore when it was dis covered that the argument could not he heard on that day. The argument took place yesterday as arranged, but those who looked for a conclusion of the affair were doomed to further disappointment. George M, Reimensnyder.of counsel for the plain tiff made the opening argument. He was followed by Grant Herring and James Scarlet for the defendants, H. M. Hinckley winding np for the plain tiff. Judge Savidge has reserved his decision. It is not known how long it will he before an opinion is handed down, hut it is hoped that it may not be long. DON'T EXPERIMENT.

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 Pleasantly Effective.

I 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.

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 wick Enterprise.

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.

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.
