Mrs. Sidler was within a few days of being 87 years of age. She resided with her son, W. B Sidler, Walnut street, and was very widely known. She was ill for about three months, suffering with a complication of dis eases incidental to people of advanced years. With the exception ot a defect in her hearing the deceased was in full pos session of her faculties and was re markably well preserved. She read the daily papers, her mind was well stored with facts and she took an ac tive interest in the affairs of life. Mrs. Sidler spent nearly the wtiole of her married life in Danville With her husband she went to housekeeping near the T &B. depot. The boose next to George A. Meyer's hotel, now occupied by Clarence Kanck s grocery, was built by Mr. and Mrs. Sidler. It was one of the fir*t houses erected in that'part of town and came into ex istence about the time that the Cata wissa Bailroad was built.

Bloomsburg has decided to follow the example of Danville and go into the street paving business What is more it lias awarded the contract to D. J. Bogers, a Danville man, who lias made socli a success of street pav ing in Danville. The matter was disposed of at a special meeting of the Town Council at Bloomsburg Monday night. There were only three bids submitted. The first bid opened, that of Thomas Oor rey, was thrown out because it was not accompanied by a certified check ot #ioo as called for bv the specifica tions. The neit bid, that of (). B. Mellick, contained nothing regarding curbing, which wsH provided for in the specifi cations. The third and last hid was that of D. J.

For the curbing the bid as follows: Blue stone 75 cents per foot ; Ohio stone W> cents per foot; Reset curbing 18 cents per foot, TliiH bid also had a certified check in the sum of S2OO enclosed. O. B. Meiliok had agreed to pave with Bolivar brick at 12.20, which wan a little leas than Mr. Rogers' bid, but as the latter was the only bidder who •tad complied with the specifications on motion it was decided to pave with Bolivar brick and nse bine stone for curbing and the contract was award ed to D. J. Rogers. Centre street is the thoroughfare that is to be paved.

The horse would have brought two hundred dol lars at any day, hut he had an especi al value on the farm,being Mts. Blue's driving horse and an animal with HO many good qualities that simply "no money would have bought him". The horse yesterday morning was used in the plow. In turning around he struck a scythe which was hanging 011 a tree, knocking it down. As it struck the ground it became entangled in the hrose's legs and before it could be removed had cut the animal very badly, inflicting among other injuries a shocking gash on the right tore leg between the knee and fetlock, from which the blood poured in a steady stream. One of the farm hands was despatch ed in post lias to for Veterinarian J. J. Kline of this citv. Fending the vet erinarian's arrival the horse's leg was tightly bandaged and the shocking flow of blood was in some measure checked. The gash inflicted by the sharp scythe extended into the bone and reached fully half way round the leir. The tendon of the leg along with the veins was severed and the injury could hardly have been ranch worse. By the time of Pr. Kline's arrival the animal had lost at least two gallons of blood aud was weak and docile enough to submit to any kind of treatment. There was only oue chance to save the horse so that be might he of any service in the future and that was by a most dillieult surgical operation, which the Veterinarian without any loss nf time proceeded to perform. Eight stitches were inserted in the leg. In order to enable the animal to bear the pain incidental to stitching cocaine was injected into bin leg. Dr. Kline last evening stated that tiie outcome at the present sta?e i* some what uncertain,but he has hopes that with proper care the animal will come around all right STRAIN TOO GREAT.

He was seated on his porch during the tore noon enjoying the pleasant summer weather. He was sitting nearer the edge than he thought he was and in shifting liis chair he moved a little too far and rolled down over the edge of the porch. The fall was not a high one,probably less than four feet altogether, hut Mr Voris sustained a painful injury,strik ing Ins shoulder as lie went down. He was unable to arise and had to be as sisted into the house. Dr. S. Y. Thompson was called who discovered that no hones were broken, although Mr. Voris was very badly jarred and bruised. The effect alto gether was rather bad owing to the gentleman's advanced years. He was obliged to take his bed, where he re mained during the greater part of the time yesterday. Dr. Thompson last evening stated that Mr. Voris would get along all right. The jar anrt the shock were the worst and the effect of these, he said, would wear off, In the course of a few days, when the man would be out again the same as before. Dollars and War. The fiightful waste of war is strik ingly portrayed in a newly-oompilad estimate of the outlay required to keep the contending Japanese and Russian fighting forces in the field. It is junt 551 davs since the conflict begun with the Japanese naval attack at Port Arthur. The direct cost to each nation, according to otlicial esti- I mates, has been about $1,000,(KM) a day. That would make the whole cost of the war up to date—ssl days—some thing like 112 1,102,000,000. The annual interest on this vast sum at 5 per cent, is $55,100,000. According to the most reliable figures obtainable Russia has now 021,000 soldiers in the Far East, while Japan's forces in the field aggrogate 600,000 men. The two contending armies,number ing 1,221,000 men, are eating up money at an average rate of $2,000,000 a day, 00J,000 a month, or $730. 000,000 a year.

The System Lives On Good Rich Blood. People Who Lack the Proper Quantity and Quality of Blood Fall Victims ot Every Disease That's Prevalent. DR. A. W. CHASE'S NERVE PILLS The blood is the medium through which every tissue, every organ is supplied with the material it feeds upon and rebuilds itself with. Take away that nourishment by letting the blood run down in quantity and qual ity and you take away the power of an organ or tissue to resupply waste or rebuild itself. In other words, the system starves; color, appetite, steadi ness, energy, vigor, vitality—all are lost and a condition of mental and physical prostration sets in. This con dition Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills positively cure by their power to manufacture good, rich, nutritious oxygen cairying blood, a blood that carries to every organ the very nia terial it lives and thrives upon.

Hartmau, of Sliumokin Dam, who have the contract for construct ing the new State Highway in Valley township, ate making excellent prog ress with the work and expect to lave the highway completed in Sept ember. The contractors have purchased a dc posit of limestone from the Uennctt J state, which is conveniently situated and on this spot have installed their own stone crusher. They have twenty live men employed and are finishing up the highway at the rate of one hundred foot a day. They have bnen much delayed by rainy weather and the whole distance completed does not Bxceed live hundred feet. Nevertheless this is considered excellent progress md leaves no doubt hut that even with extra work contemplated they will be off the ground before the end of next month. The plan adopted by Kiss <Sc. Hartuian of completing the road as they go is much appreciated by the traveling public, as it makes driving much easier than where the road under reconstruction is torn up from end to end at the same time As Kiss & Hartmau are working the pab lio have the new road finished to the pink of perfection and the old road not yet broken up to drive over and »re obilged to turn out ouly for a short Aistauce where excavation and re building is actually in progress Ki-s & Hartuian have their own steam roll er 011 the spot and are keeping it con stantly employed. The highway under reconstruction embraces a little over WOO feet. To this an additional section of some five hundred feet will in all probability be added. The section under construc tion does not reach to the "water trough" at Wise's hotel within about allium I red feet. The proposition it- to reconstruct the highway in the forks ot tlm two roads, covering the widen ed area up to tho water trongh and re building a short distance further along ttie Milton and tlie Washington ville roads. The County Commissioners have al ready sent in the necessary petition to the State Highway Department based on a petition trom the Supervisors of Valley township asking for the im provement of the additional road. Tin petition calls for "200 feet of con donation on the Washingtonville branch; two hundred feet of continua tion on the Milton branch and one hundred feet in addition on Milton Branch widened out at public water ing trough at Wise's hotel The above additional section of high ! way is practically assured, as it has the sanction of State Highway Com missioner Hunter, who when he went over the road recently was tho lirst to observe the necessity of the exti nsion. It was at his suggestion tint tho peti tions were prepared by tho Supervis ors and County Commissioners and sent into the State Highway Depart ment. Recovered Speech and Hearing. Messrs.

The boat rocker went into retirement when the public set its face against him and the oourts began to take cognizance of his antics whenever lie happened to be lucky eixnigl, to survive, and perhaps it would be well lor public opiuion to assert it«elt in the same way toward those who risk lives in canoes. Canoeing is one of the most delight ful of pastimes, but canoes are the most tickle of ho its. No one who is not an expeit swimmer should venture out in one and «van the best of canoe ists and swimmers should avoid un necessary risks. The man who 'risks the lives of l.im elf and companions for tin; sake of the thrill which attends the shooting of an extra hazardous rapid is something more than a fool —and lie should be treated according ly- It is only fair to say. however, that many a canoeing acident is due not to recklessness but to bad judgment. Some extreni' ly dangerous rapids look easy, while a little difterence in skill, judgment, strength and experience means a great deal when the frail boat is in the grip of rustling waters. No man can work in au office eleven and a half months in a year and in the re maining two weeks handle a canoe as well as the man who spends mnch of his time on the \vater. Therefore tiie occasional eanoei»t would do well to avoi I taking his canoe into water with which lie is imt familiar and uever to essay a dangerous passage because some other fellow goes through it with ease.
