IN DID RESIDENT
PASSES mi
Another one of our very old residents
who began life in Danville early in
the fir*t half of the last century was
called from earth Tuesday The last
to answer the dread summons was Mrs.
Mary Sidler. widow of Benjamin Sid
ler, who departed this life nearly
thirty years ago.
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. The Bail
road Company in the early days burn
ed wood in their locomotives. Mr.
Sidler Was Mnnlnuo'l £Vop<*>e>" and
pile up the wood for the locomotives.
Mrs. Sidler was a member of St.
Paul's M. E. church. During recent
years, however, she was not an at
tendant at service owing to her de
fective hearing, which made it im
possible for her to take in the sermon.
In additiou to W. B. Sidler, the de
ceased is survived by three sons:
Philip Sidler, Church street; George
Sidler, near the T. & B. depot; and
I). F. Sidler, of Milton. George Hun
lock, the watchman at the Bailroad
street crossing of the D. L. & W. rail
road, is a grandson of the deceased.
In addition to Mr Hunlock there are
a large number of other grandchilden
and upwards of a half a dozen great
grandchildren.
The funeral will take place from the
residenoe of W. B. Sidler, 218 Walnut
streat, Friday at 2 p. m Interment
will be made in Gdd Fellows' ceme
tery.
Bloomsburg Will Pave.
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. Rogers who agreed to pave with
Bolivar brick for 112 2.22 per square yard,
Porter brick #2.23 per nquare yard,and
Mack brick #2.21 pur square yard. 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.
Block System Established,
The block system has been establish
ed on tfie Catawissa division of the
Columbia and Montour Eleotrio Rail
road. This will greatly facilitate the
running of the cars on the (J. and M
and O. and B. lines.
A NATIVE OF
IDHTODI COUNTY
Robert, M. Bailey, a native nf Mnn
tonr county, 0110 of the original pro
jectors nf the telephone and a mail of
prominence passed away at his home
1320 West Fourth street, Willlamsporf
at 12:10 o'clock Sanday after sutler
I with paralysis for several years
Mr. Bailey nearly all liis life had
! been couneetod with railroad and tele
phone business. and he was known and
respected throughout a very wide ter
ritory in the state.
He was born at Paradise, Montour
county, August 22, 1842,011 the origin
'al Paradise farm. His mother was
(Jhristiana Montgomery before her
marriage and Ins father John Pailuy.
Robert M. Bailey married Elizabeth
Dougal, a daughter of Dr. Dougal, of
Milton, who survives him They have
no children.
When a young man the subject of
thin sketch was for yearn connected
with the Northern Central Railway,
and then from 1871 to 1880 he was with
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and locat
ed at Tyrone. He went to Williams
port in 18S0, and shortly tlierealter
went into the telephone business,
which was then in its infancy He
was connected with the telephone
business, in fact, from its earliest his
tory, and he and the late Hiram K.
Khoads were instrumental in establish
ing the Central Pennsylvania Tele
phone and Supply company. with
ottices in Williamsport. Mr Bailey
was for years the general manager of
the company,until Mr. Khoads' death,
when he succeeded the latter as presi
dent, and held that position until the
consolidation of the Central Pennsyl
vania company with the present Penn
sylvania Telephone company.
It was about this time,in Juue,l!H)l,
that Mr. Bailey was first stricken with
paralysis, and was compelled by his
illness to ceaso taking any active part
in the affairs of the business.althongh
he remained with the company. Since
then he had been gradually but slow
ly failing, having had several later
strokes. He had been confined to the
house all last winter and this spring
and summer, but only to his bed for a
few days.
Mr. Bailey was for some years a
consistent member of the First l'res
byterian church, of Williamsport. Ht
was a man who had a host of friends,
not only in Williamsport,but through
out this section of the state,and many
will mourn his loss.
The Reading's New York Service.
The old saying that "Truth is Strang
er than Fiction" is well exemplified
ill the notable improvements mailt
lately by the Beading System in itt
service between Philadelphia and New
York.
The service between the two cities i
few years ago was reasonably good,
but not of that "Up to date" charact
er that the management desired, anc
improvements have followed one an
other closely until today the service ii
supreb, and other roads are not onlj
patterning after it but watching to
any innovation the Heading will mak<
to further the comfort of its patrons.
The first great innovation was it
May, IKO2 .when the "Every hour—oi
the hour," system was inaugurated
fast, well equipped train, with Pul
man Parlor Cars attached, leaving
Beading Terminal, Philadelphia..
Time the Clock Strikes," every week
day.
These Trains had Cafe or Broilei
Oars at appropriate hours,but this has
been improvnd by the substitution of
Begular Dining Cars on two train*
each way. Morning, Noon and Night.
The evening cars serve a capital
Table d'Hote Dinner at rate of $1 00.
Breakfast aud Lunch in A La Carte on
the appropriate train?.
It seemed is if scarcely any thing
else could he done to add to the com
fort and convenience of the Heading's
patrons when another great change
was made June 25th of this year, the
old Sooth Ferry or Whitehall Termin
al, New York, was abandoned, anil a
fine new Ferry House opened to pub
lic service at the foot of West 2:ird
St., North River, in the heart of the
Hotel and Theatre Soction and a great
shopping center. Under the roof of
Ferry passengers can take the Metro

VALUABLE HORSE'S
Tt.RRIBLE INJURY
Isaiah Plue.a Frosty Valley farmer,
Tuesday came very near losing one of
his most valuable horses as the result
of a very odd accident. 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

Hystericus Death at Jameson City
Eugene Totter, aged 2* years, was
j found dead Saturday morning in a
! pond at Jameson City,having drowned
sometime during the night previous,
j A great deal of mystery surrounds the
| case. Potter was the boss of a gang
I of men who were engaged in cleaning
j out the pond, which is to be used as
a place for the storage of water, ami
he, together with a companion, lived
in a cam]) near their work.
Friday night two strangers appear
ed in the camp and asked tor lodging,
but Potter was compt 1 led to refuse
their request on account, of lack of
room. He offered, however, to row
them to the other side of the pond.
Soon aft<T their departure from camp
Potter's companion retired and, going
to sleep,did not miss Potter until Sat
urday morning. Not finding him in
cam]) lie instituted a search. He soon
found the boat turned bottom side up,
aud the body of Potter was nearby.
He was drowned and had been dead
some time.
The two strangers left no trace be
hind them, and haee not been seen by
anyone since leaving the camp Friday
night. Potter was an excellent swim
mer and, under ordinary circumstan
ces, would have been well able to take
care of himself in the water.

ELIJAH C VORIS
SUSTAINS A PAIL
Elijah O Voris Tuesday met with
a hid fall, which it was feared for
awhile might result seriously. 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.
Aside from enlightened humanitarian
considerations, the "business sense"
of the world will soon make war an

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.
Mr. George Horkins of Westinghouse Ave
nue, Wilinerding, Pa., says:
"1 began to use Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills in Pittsburg. 1 was at the
time badly run down, weak—nervous
—could not eat—cold all the time, as
my blood was thin, and did not sleep
well. The medicine put me in splen
did shape rapidly and easily, giving
me steady nerves—a line appetite
restful sleep—a general feeling of
energy and vigor and good iich blood
that showed in the way my color came
back. The medicine is certainly a
grand one and I am only too glad to
say so " 50 cents a box at dealers or

The Only Way
There is no w ay 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 be kept healthy,
pure and sweet or the strength will
let down and disease will set up. No
appetite, loss of strength,neivonsness,
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
digests what you eat and strengthens
the whole digestive apparatus. Sold

Footprint 10,000 Years Old.
The first human footprint ever found
in anthracite coal was uncovered h
Michael Sincavago, a miner at Kagle
Hill colliery, last woek, the fossil be

snakes, ferns, etc , have been plenti
ful but this is the lirst evidence that
prehistoric man was in existence in
this country during the formation of
the coal beds The imprint it is esti

George W Miles and John G. Waite,
Saturday returned from MrKeesport,

entered upon his second five-year term

she ordnr. Mr. Waite was the ruprc
tentative of Beaver Lodge, No 134,

The gentlemen aie very much pleas

sion to Pittsburg. They state that it
requires a visit, of that sort to reveal
to an Eastern man tfie enormous re
sources, the extensive operations, the
wealth and industry of that part of the
State. McKeesport is oa the Monon
gahela river, fifteen miles from Pitts
burg. In the intervening distance are
the town* of E:»st Liberty, Homestead,
Brad dock, and Du Qaesne, so that
from Pittsburg to McKeesport the
shoro of the Mouongahela is almost
aontinuously built up. the entire
locality forming with Pittsburg a big
Benter of population.
All of these towns are famous as
manufacturing centers and are very
prosperous McKeesport, especially,
is a great wealth producer. Here are
located the National Tube Works, the
greatest in the world, employing 18.-
000 men. The population of the town
is 40,000. The town nestless among
the monntaius, but is not especially
attractive.
At Homestead are the great Carnegie
Works. At Hraildock the Edgar Thomp
son Steel Works are located. At Du
(Jnesne are eleven great blast furnaces
the average product of each being over
400 tons per pay. Hcfore these mon
sters, Mr. Miles says, the blast fur
naces, which made Danville famous
in its day, are dwarfed info insignifi
cance. The best out furnaces could do
was to produce l<i to 20 tons per day
ami the product of any one of the L)u
Quesnc furnaces.it is estimated,would
exceed the combined product of all the
furnaces operated in Danville, Chu
lasky and Blootusburg in the days
when pig iron was manufactured in
this section. Lake Superior ore is ns
ed at Du (Juesne.
Public is Aroused.
The public is aronsed to a knowledge
of the cnrative merits of that great
medicinal tonic, Electric Bitters, for
sick stomach, liver and kidneys. Maty

months, 1 was given up to die. 1 had
fever and ague,my nerves were wrock

Contracts aro placed for distant de

more prompt. It is also gratifying to
note tliat pending and threatening lab

higher scale was adopted at glass fac
tories, and the attractive wages paid to
harvest hands have reduced the ranks
of the unemployed to a minimum.
Jobbing trade is brisk, especially in
dry goods, and all the large cities re

brisk demand, interior dealers prepar

employed, little idle machinery being
noted in the prominent industries, al
though lion and steel dispatches are
still somewhat irregular. Traffic by
rail and water is very heavy, railway
earnings thus far reported for August
exceeding last year's figures by 6<>
percent., and forigen trade at this

year of superlatives in the business
world ; prices of the sixty most active
railway securities have reached the
highest point on record; output of pig
iron in the first half of 1905 not only
far surpassed any preceding six months
production, but exceeded every full

A man with a gooil thing to sell is

head The idea will profit nothing
unless it be put before the world in
some rational and effective way. So,
too, must the world know about a
commodity before it will buy. A man

secrete it under his hat, and a man
with the raw material of a fortune at

tOBI PROGRESSING 1
ON STATE HIGHWAY
Kiss <V. 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.

Dangers of Canoeing.
'l iic idiot who rocks the boat has not
born tnucli 111 evidence this season but
can no tools have boon conspicuously
active and there promises to be no
mark oil fallum off in : the figures for
boating fatalities. 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.
