COMMITTEE AT
LARGE APPOIIM
The Committee at Large to push the
work of soliciting for the Soldiers'
Monument has been appointed and will
begin work immediately. The entire
county will lie handed over to the new
committee, which will make a house
to house canvass and will not give up
until the necessary amount has beeu
raised.
Hon. James Foster, Chairman of the
Soldiers' Monument Committee, an
ticipates gratifying results with the
Committee at Uarge in the field. On
the Committee are H. A. Kueibler, a
veteran of the Civil War and Frank
O. Schoch, a patriotic young towns
man, both of whom have a wide ac
quaintance throughout Dauville and
Montour County.
The Soldiers' Monameut Committee
has labored very diligently, but it has
met with mauy disappointments.
Nevertheless a considerable sum of
money has been subscribed,quite suffi
cient to put the enterprise on its feet
Under the circumstances the Commit
tee has uo thought of abandoning the
proposition, without additional effort.
It is earnestly hoped that the two
men just appointed may be able to
pull the work through to a sucoesnfuj
finish.
It wonld be too bad if little Montour
with its inspiring war record should
be one of the very few counties iu the
State that is to have no soldieis' monu
ment. Obviouslv a great deal, if not
all, rests with the citizens. If the
people show a willingness to subscribe
and extend the proper eucouragement
the committee will be sore to succeed,
while on the other hand it will re
quire at this crisis a very little of the
opposite treatment to ducoaiage the
solicitors and to chill the whole enter
prise.
2(1 Years in Lumber Regions.
W. A Pickaid, of Potter county, is
visiting his sisters,the Misses Pickard,
Vine street. Mr Pickard spent his
boyhood in this city but during the
last twenty-eight years he has cast his
lot with the lumbermen in the north
ern part of the State. While he has
followed the forest, the frontier has
been carried farther and further back.
Daring his time he has seeu whole
counties oleared up and he yesterday
stated that judging from what remains
and the rapidity with which the
forests are being eaten up under the
improved methods of lumbering he
did not think after six or seven years
mach if any timber will be left in this
State.
Ho likes the free and unconvention
al life of the lamber camps. Nearly
primitive conditions prevail. Pare air
aud pure water combine to make alt
men healthful; the water especially,
which cold as ice and clear and uncou
tamiuated bubbles from the ground in
the depth of the forest has no eqaal
anywhere on the face of the earth. In
the forest the men are temperate audit
is onlv when the seeds of disease are
brought from the centers of civiliza
tion that there is any sickness in the
lumber camps.
Pennies Imbedded in Concrete.
T. L. Evans' Sons yesterday pat the
finishing toadies on the fine concrete
steps and pavement in front of Carl
Litz's restaurant. Mill street. No fin
er piece of work can be seen anywhere.
The concrete steps are a real novel
ty. Imbedded in the cement forming
the steps as well as on the platform
above aud on the walk below are a
large number of pennies, old fashion
ed copper coins as well as modern -
looking pennies recently coined. While
these are securely embedded iu the ce
ment one side, Hush with the sarfaoe,
is of course exposed and it is hereiu
that the novelty lies. The pennies, of
coarse, will be worn bright under
many feet. The visitor's first impres
sion will be that here is money by the
wholesale to be had for the picking up
and his mind may not he disabased
until he stoops down and lays his fing
ers upon the coppers.
The pennies were famished for the
novel purpose by Mr. Litz's numerous
friends, who were lingering at the
spot while the work wan in progress
to see that a good job was done by the
workmen.
WURK ON WALLS
TO BEGIN SOON
According to all accounts it will
only be a short time uutil work on the
approach at the river bridge at the
South side may be under way.
The County Commissioners of North
umberland county at Sunbury yester
day, according to the statements of
several persons, made no secret of the
fact that, they are about ready to begin
the construction of the retaining walls.
The walls of coarse, constitute the
biggest half of the work, and as soon
a-t they are completed or even before,
the township can begin the work of
tilling np the approach. People are
put to great inconvenience, with the
roadway in its preseut shape, and if
there is a good sound excuse for post
polling the approach any longer then
the public would like to hear it. The
news that the walls are likely to be
gin in such a short time will be joy
ously received.
J. H. Kase has elevated his ware
houses on the east side of the approach
so as to be on a level with the road
way. The lower warehouse has beeu
removed from its original site and
placed alongside the other two build
ings near the barber shop. The build
ings, which stand back some five feet
from the building line, are supported
in frout by a concrete letainiug wall.
Mr Kase yesterday was busy con
structing a sidewalk to couform with
the change of grade. Stones and gravel
had been hauled from up the river and
the sidewalk was already much Im
proved.
Coaching the Farmers.
Five days of farmers' institutes will
be held in Northumberland county,
under the auspices or the State De
partment of Agriculture during the

Mr. Martin is also arranging to hold
a series of practical schools, each to
continue from three to five days, for
the purpose of giving actual object
lessons in the leading lines ot farm
operations as carried on iu the State.
In a dairy section an expert instructor
will be engaged to take up the actual
process of buttermaking,going through
the entire affairs of handling the milk
aud finishing the butter for market.
A class Of dairymen will be organiz
ed iu each seotion aud a portion of the
same will be devoted to visiting dairy
farms, examining practices as to the
mauagemeut of the herd and ventila
tion and sanitary conditions of the
barns.
Mr. Martin believes this work prom
ises great results for the improvement
of the great dairy interests of this
State. Similar schools will be held
along the hues of horticulture aud the
poaltry interests.
Following is a schedule of the in
stitutes to be held in this locality dur
ing the coming season :

tained burns all over his body iu the
Lochiel catastrophe, and was iu a ser
ious condition for some time.
Loss of Sleep Means Loss
of Mind.
Inability 81eep is Nature's Plain Warning
of an Exhausted Nervous System,
DR. A. W. CHASE'S
NERVE PILLS
When you overlook any muscle or
set of muscles the tire must have rest.
What is true of muscle is donbly tiae
of the brain, as from it emenates all
power to work, to act.to think. The
brain is fall of little cells that daring
the waking hours are never quiet in
their efforts to furnish to every organ
the }>ower to do its daty. Rob these
little cells of their rest at night—keep
them at work all the time, and soon
they tire, refuse to act,fail to geneate
nerve force and the system goes to
ruin. Bromides, sedatives, opiates
only hasten the end —they do not baild
ap, they tear down The true remedy,
the only cure,lies iu Dr. A. W Chase's
Nerve Pills, a medicine that revita
lizes, reinvigorates, and by properlv
nourishing these overworked little
cells, give them rest aud quiet and en
ables one to sleep naturally and easily
Mrs. Fred Wholeben of Glade Run, War
ren, Pa., says:
"I was induced to use Dr. A. W.
Chase's Nerve Pills for excessive ner
vousness. 1 was so nervous I could
not bear a noise or mach talking. I
was very forgetful—my mind seemed
doll I wa* listless and tired all the
time. The result of the use of the box
1 got was remarkable. They toned up
the nerves and system generally and I
work well again, am strong—my mind
is clear aud noise aud talk no longer
bother me. lam much pleased with
the pills aud can recommend them
highly to anyone who feels as I did."

will have an opportunity of seeing
them aud of watching them as they

WEST MARKET
STREET PAVEMENT
At a meeting of the County Com
missioners on Saturday that body took
further action on the pavement at the
Court House, if was decided to re
place the stone sidewalk along West
Market street with a concrete pave
ment to correspond with the limit, of
the building. The contract was award
ed to T. L. Evans' Sons, who are do
ing tho concrete work in the front of
the building.
The stone along West Market street,
like those in front of the Court. House,
are not in a very good condition after
nearly forty years' service and ex
posure to the climate. It is doabtfu!
whether enough first class stone could
be obtained from the whole lot to re
lay the West Market street pavement.
It was therefore decided to use con
crete and to get rid of the stone for
what they would bring. They are
much in demand for certain purposes
and some have already been sold.
In putting down the concrete pave
ment. it will be necessary to get rid of
tho row of trees that lines the curb
along West Market street as well as
those in front of the Court House and
the removal of ttic. whole lot has beeu
decided upon by the County Commis
sioners. The trees iu front are by no
means in a thriving condition and will
not be much missed; the others, on
Market street.are doing very well, but
it will be impossible to lay a concrete
pavement without removing them ;be
sides their placo will he pretty well
supplied by the parallel row of trees
on the Court House lawn, which are
growing finely. The new pavement
along side the building will be ten
feet wide. The pavement In front,
where excavation »s iu progress, is
twenty-two feet wide.

Reckless Autoing.
A Connecticut judge has rendered a
decision in an automobile ease which
will bo a relief to the automobile own
ers, who contend that each case should
be decided upon the evidence submitt
ed to the court, and not on the gener
al principle which prevails in some
communities that the automobile is a
danger which must be suppressed. The
defendant in the case in question had
been arrested i:i the town of Stamford
for driving his machine through the
outskirts of the town taster than the
Connecticut statute allows—l 2 miles
an hour. His defense was that he was
not disobeying the law intentionally,
but was trying to get his car down to
the speed limit when the officer held
him up. After the evidence was heard
he was fined $1 In the decision Judge
Downs, while propeily upholding the
statdte as a salutary one, its purpose
being to prevent theruuuing of motor
vehicles in such a manner as to en
danger life and property,declared that
its enforcement should be marked by
the exercise of good sense, and that
severe penalties should be imposed
only where the evidence shows that
the spirit of the law has been violat
ed. This decision has been widely ap
proved and will probably be followed
by courts in other states.
This is a Strange Case.
Although the public at large is un
aware of the fact, it seems, according
to attempts that have been made with
in the past week, that a determined
effort has been made to assassinate
Nelson Hoover, a Shamokiu young
man, who is now a patient in the
Mary Packer Hospital,Sunbury,where
he is suffer ing from a bullet wound in
the left baud.
While returning from Hickory Ridge
colliery two woeks ago Hoover was at
tacked on the hill near Maysville by
a fellow he believed to be a Ger
man. The fellow hold in his hand a
stiletto and would have cut him into
pieces had it not been for a penknife
with which the victim defended him
self. As it was ho was frightfully cut
about the chest before the would be
'murdorer fled upon the approach of
miners.
Hoover says it was precisely the
same fellow who attacked him at the
rear of Mullen's foundry last Satur
day night. The villain had a compan
ion and they threw a hag over the vic
tim's head while he was on his way
to the Grand Hotel, where he boards.
Being of a strong constitution he
fought his assailants in a desperate
manner and while wroHtliug a revolver
from ono of the highwaymen who rob
bed him.ho was shot in the left wri-t.
He is slo>vly recovering at the hospital
bnt it is feared he will lose the use of
one ot his fingers
Secured State Right.
Governor Penny packer, last Friday
afternoon, attached his signature to
the papers granting State rights to the
Sunbury and Northumberland Electric
Street Railway Company to extend
trolley line to Sunbury.
The borough council has already
granted the same privileges and every
thing is now in shape for the company
to hegiu work.
Owing to the improvements in the
service to Island Park and the success
fnl season there, the company will de
lay the abandonment of the present
road and the start of the now line un
til September first.
All the material for the construction
of the road and the now cars have
been ordered so that when the work is
commenced it can he rapidly pushed
to completion.
Public is Aroused.
The public is aroused to a knowledge
of the curative merits of that great
medicinal tonic. Electric Bitter*, for
siok stomach, liver and kidneys. Mary
H. Walters, uf 54(5 St Clair Ave.,Col
umbus, 0., writes: "For several
months, 1 was giveu up to die. 1 had
fever and ague,my nerves were wreck
ed; I could not sleep, and my stomach
was so weak, from useless doctors'
drugs, that I could not eat. Soon after

paved before winter. A good deal of
work has been done by those in favor
of tie; improvement during several
weeks past. At least two petitions are
in circulation and the statement, is
confidently made that sufficient, sign
ers are assured to cover the necessary
two-thirds of the distance in feet.
There is practically no objection to
the pavement,as all the plans are laid
to make the improvement as inexpen
sive as possible. Red brick, which are
much cheaper than those used on Mill
street, will be used. No concrete will
bo employed under the brick, neither
will there ho any grouting ut-ed. The
ground will be firmly rolled. The
briok will be simply laid on a course
of sand and kept in place by curbing
set in concrete. Experience has taught
that a pavement of this kind is suffic
iently durable for any thoroughfare
where the traffic is no heavier thau on
East Market street. The cost will bo
$2 per lineal foot as against some $1
which was the cost on Mill street.
One of the petitions covers the space
between Mill street and Church street;
the other between Church and Rail
road streets A third petition rumor
ed of takes in the distance between
Railroad aud Nassau streets.
There is scarcely any doubt but that
East Market street between Mill street
aud Railroad street will be paved. The
portion of the street on which Market
Square abuts has led to some complica
tions in getting ready for paving, but
the difficulty here will probably be
overcome by the Burgess affixing his
signature representing the property
owner.
The time is short enough and the
work will have to be pushed along if
the street is to be paved before win
ter. The trolley company is entitled
to a notice of fiO days in order to en
able it to take up the present rail and
replace it with one suitable for pave
ment. However, the setting of the
curb can proceed during the interim,
which is the only branch of the work
that it will be necessary to complete
before frost. As no concrete will bo
used tlie brick can be laid up to the
very advent of winter
It has boen ascertained that with
probably two or ttiree exceptions none
of the trees growing on East Market
street will be in the way of paving
and those can be permitted to remain.
Hurderer Cried.
Sheriff Rlddoll. of Williamsport,has
arrived at the conclusion that the at
taches of the Williamsport jail have
other things of importance to attend to
than complying with the requests of
James Salerno and his relatives The
Sheriff has especially tired of the num
erous visit of the children and a cousin
of the accused murderer, aud has so
informed the prisoner. The announce
ment did not have a very soothing
effect on the foreigner and he asserted
that ho would become very lonely.
Salerno was given to uuderstaud that
the number of employes at the jail
was only large euough to permit of
relatives calling on him once a week
instead of soveral times a day as has
been the oase since the arrest of the
Italian. The attitude of the Sheriff,
together with the information made
to iiiid by his son that not euough
money had boen secured to retain cer
tain attorneys for his defense, has
caused a partial breakdown of the
prisoner.
At noon on Thursday Salerno gave
way to his grief and indulged in a
prolonged crying spell. His wailing
could be distinctly heard in every part
of the big stoue building. The turn
keys endeavored to pacify the Italian,
but failed. They summoned Depaty
Shoriirs Soitzer and Milnor.and, after
considerable trouble and patience,
Salerno was induced to cease his loud
expression of grief. The appetite of
Salerno coutinues good.

Falling troin a load of oats Fri
day Harvey Mowry, a well known I
farmer residing near Swenoda, was |
inn over by the wheels of the wagon '
and sustained injuries from wliioh lie i
died.
The sad affair took plaoe shortly af
ter 10 o'clock. iMr. Mowry assisted hy
William Reieholderfer was engaged in
hauling oats from the field to the barn.
The wagon was loaded and was being
driven down a steep hill when one ot
the front corners of the load slid off
carrying with it Mr Mowry,who was
on top ot the oats driving. As the
sheaves and the man struck the horses
the latter took fright and springing
forward threw the driver] under the
wagon.one ot the wheels of which ran
over his hodv.
Mr. Keichehlerter. who was at the
rear of the wagon manipulating the
brake, was unable to do anything to
prevent the runaway. His first thought
was tor Mr. Mowry, who was lying
where the wheel had passed over him.
Assisting him to arise he asked him
whether he was seriously hurt. Mr.
Mowry replied:
"Yes. I think 1 am "
It was decided, however, that Mr
Reichelderfer should leave the injured
man and pursue the runaway team.
Capturing the latter he called Will
iam Fry, who lives on the faim ad
joining, and who, accompanied hy Mrs.
Mowry, wife of the injured man, hur
ried to the spot where he lay and
found him unconscious with little or
no evidence of life. He was carried
to tilt) house and a messenger despatch
ed for Dr. Montgomery, of Blooms
burg. Long before the physician's ar
rival, however,the fact, was establish
ed that the man was dead. The wheel
of the heavily loaded wagon had pass
ed over his body in the region of the
abdomen and the supposition is tha
his back was broken.
The deceased was 5(5 years of age anil
is survived by a wife and two sons,
Clyde,aged 14 and John, aged 8 years.
Mrs. J. P. Weaver, of Toby Knn Hol
low is a sister of the deceased. An
aged mother also survives, who lives

Run and lived about Danville nearly
all his life Up to some live years ago

cupied, which is one of some 25 acres,
situated a couple of miles beyond

Lightning's Pranks.
The house of Mrs. H E. Massar,
corner of Second and Chestnut streets,
Suubury, was visited by a bolt of
lightning at about three o'clock on
Sunday morning.
The flash was brilliant, the crash
terrific and was seen and heard by
many people. The result, however,
was not as serious as might have been
expected.
The bolt, came dancing down the
electric wires to the chandelier in the
dining room. Hero it severed the gas
pipe, to which the chandelier was at
tached,the chandeliei swinging to one
side, being held up by the electric
wires. The gas was then lighted by
this brilliant but unwelcome visitor,
and when Mrs. Masser came down
stairs, about eight o'clock, the ceiling
was just about catching fire.
Same of the Sunbury Firemen were
about their building, just across the
street, and it took them hut a moment
to extinguish tli9 flame.
The storm was one of the most severo
that has ever swept over Sunbury.
The large telephone pole at the oorner
of Third and Court stroet, was struck
a glancing blow by a bolt of lightning
and shingles were torn from the roofs
of a number of bariiß on Court, street

THIRD GAME
Danville A. A. with McCloud in
fine form, and the balance of the team
playing errorless ball, succeeded in
winning the third game of the cham
pionship series from Bloomsburg at
DeWitt's Park Fiiday afternoon.
Lovers of the game who failed to see
yesterday's content missed a fine exhi
bition, and that the game is not bet
t i patronized when the team is play
ing gilt edge hall cannot be accounted
for McCloud held the visitors down
to two hits tor eight innings, but eas
ed up at that time on account of a
severe hnii-v on the leg from beiog
hit by a ba'l In the ninth inning
Bloomsburg succeeded in getting two
men across the plate. The features of
the game were the second base play of
Price the first base play of Shannon,
and the remarkable stops made by Ros9
at third Courts led the hitting with
three hits to his credit while Gosh,
Ross mul Hummer secured two eaoh.
The management had intended to pitch
Coutts, but on account of his hard
work in a game on Thursday, it was
not deemed advisable to allow him to
