ODD FELLOWS
mCONSOLIDATE
Three of the four Odd Fellows'
lodges of Danville have decided to
consolidate. Calumet, No. 279 aud
Danville Lodge, No. 580 will merge
into Montour Lodge, No. 109, which is
the parent lodge and the oldest in
Danville, having been instituted on
April 21, 1845.
Hv the consolidation Montour Lodge,
No. 1 Ot*. will have a membership of at
least 225 and financially it will be
quite well off. The other Odd Fel
lows' lodge which witli Montour will
occupy the local held will be Myrtle,
No. 858, which is likewise, an old and
prosperous organization with a large
memhetship.
The history of Odd Fellowship iuDati
ville is quite an interesting one. The
four lodges at the day when they were
instituted were no doubt quite neces
wary,but conditions affecting the mem
bership have siuce than changed very
much, and the members of the three
organizations take the view that the
interests of the fraternity will be
muoh better served by tho merging of
the two younger aud smaller lodges
iuto the parent body.
The consolidation will take place on
the first Monday of October and will
no doubt be an event of much eclat in
the order, tho probability being that
mo uuiueiß in ine uranu i-iOdge Of
Pennsylvania will be present.
Thomas G. Vincent is Master aud
Dr. Jno. Sweisfort secretary, of Mon
tour Lodge, No. 10W. Election this
year will not take place until a date
after the consolidation,to the end that
the new membership may have a voice
in electing the officers that are to serve
for the ensuing year.
/"liners Call Convention.
Announcement was made on Labor
Day in Wilkes-Rarre that the conven
tion at which the anthracite mine
workers will formulate their demands
upon the operators will be held at
Shamokin during the first week in
November. Di legates representing all
the union men of the 150,000 mine
workers ate to be present, while the
oentral figure will be President John
Mitchell.
it is believed, judging by the de
mands of the district conventions and
Mitchell's speeches, that the demands
will be substantially as follows:
Recognition of the union, au eight
hour-day, the present scale of awges,
weighing of coal and payment by
weight, a revised conciliation board,
acting upon the same principle as the
present one but with fewer members;
the sliding scale feature of the present
agreement, the check weighman aud
the oheck docking boss feature of the
present agreement.
From now on until the election of
delegates to this convention President
Mitchell and UMJ district officers will
contiuue their efforts to increase the
membership of the union.
President Mitchell has beeu saving
in his speeches that if the men of the
region joiu the nnion he will be able
to tset the eight hour-day and recogni
tion of the union for them if they are
faithful to the union aud he is able to
goto President Raer representing a
great majority of them. This has so
enthused them that great advances in
membership have been made by nearly
all the locals in tl«n regiou. The op
erators estimate that of the 160,000
mine woikers in the regiou not uioie
than Ro,o<K) are paid up members of
the union Few of them believe that
a strike will occur. They think that
President Mitchell will he glad to ac
cept a continuance of the present agree
meat if the operators offer it.

y. 11.1. DIHECWRS
ORGANIZE
The Board of Directors of the Y M
(J. A., held a meeting last night for
the pnrposn of organizing the new
hoard. The meeting was nf more than
usual importance by reason that there
are some difficult problems to be solv
ed immediately relating to the future
of the Y M. 0. A. in Danville as well
as to the fact that the Board had with
it K. B. Buckalew, of Harrisburg,
State Secretary of the Young Men's
Christian Association.
The Directors went into session at 8
o'clock and after disposing of souio
work devolving upon the old board
adjourned sine die, after which the
new board effected an organization.
The retiring members are : W. H.
Ammerman U. L. Gordy. Beverly
Masseluian, W V Oglesby, and Sam
uel Werkheiser. The new members
are: W. li. ('lark. A. 11. Grone, Walter
Lovett. W. L. McClure and W. G.
Brown.
VN'liilo the old board was in session
State Secretary Buckalew whiled away
the time in the Reading room, where
he was interviewed by a iepresentative
of the Morning News with reference
to Y. M. O. A. work In Danville. Mr.
Buckalew is a young man, foil of
energy, impressed with the exalted
mission of the Y. M. (J. A and con
fident that failure in an effort to sus
tain it in any community will never
follow if the proper methods are em
ployed.
Mr. Buckalew said that his advice
to the Directors would be togo on
with the work here—to employ a new
Secretary aud one of the objects of his
visit was to assist them to procure one.
He explained that the Y. M. C. A. is
a growing institution, whose expan
sion runs along all lines. At the pres
ent day conditions in every commun
ity are soch that the Y. M. (J. A.
must thrive wherever planted. The
work is not going back ward, lie scout
ed the idea that there could he any
thing peculiar in the situation here
that would make a continnation of tho
work on the same basis as in the past
in the least impracticable. The peo
ple here who support the churches so
liberally will also support the Y. M.
IC. A. If the institution, however,
wants the money it must go after it
and it is right here that a proper
choice of methods must be made ami
business tact omployed. The State
Secretary regards the establishment ot
classes giving free instruction along
lines that meet conditions in the res
pective communities as a very good
tiling to develop an interest in the
Young Men's Christian Association.
The State Secretary paid a fine tri
bute to the ability an 1 the personal
character of our retiring Secretary,\V.
D. Laumaster.
After the new board organized Mr.
Buckalew met with it and explained
his views at length. It now remains
for the board to act.

Crazed From Riding Truck.
As a sqenel to a two days and two
nights' ride on the trucks of a hag
gage car from Denver to Chicago, Wi
lliam Rissell, aged 30 years, of Will
iamsport, has gone violently insane,
and his physicians say he has hot one
chance in fifty to recover.
Rissell, who is a Spanish-American
War Veteran, a few months ago drew
a pension of several hundred dollars
and went to Los Angeles, California.
There he fell ill and spent his money.
Such an oppressive homesickness over
came him that three weeks ago ho be
gan to beat his way home on the
freight trains. At Denvor one night,
he secreted himself on the trucks of a
baggage car in a limited express train,
and from that time until he reached
Chicago he had neither food nor drink.
His trip across the alkali desert was
a terrible one, and when ho at last
reached Chicago, he was in a condi
tion of physical and nervous collapse.
He reached his homo at Williams
port by riding on freight trains but
short distances at a time, arriving at
Williamsport one night last week.
He was in a pitiable coudition as he
described his trip and the awful suffer
ings experienced on his ride across the
desert. Me said that although lie had
several opportunities to leave lii.s hid
ing place, his desire to roach home
was so overwhelming that lie deter
mined to hang 011 as long as ho had
strength enough.
He went to bed an hour after arriv
ing at home and he slept for two days
and one night. When he arose, his
pareuts noticed that his mind wander
ed. and he rapidly giew wor?e, labor
ing under the hallucination that rail
road detectives were after him. Then
the hallucination became more pro
nounced and he imagined that other
men were after him for the purpose of
killing him. A physician was called,
but treatment had no effect on him
On Sunday morning he escaped from
the house, and the next seen of him
was at Sylvan Dell, a picnic resort
tour miles down the river from Will
iamsport, where, disheveled and wild
looking, he made bis appearance at a
restaurant,and begged to he locked up
in the ice hooso. The proprietor lock
ed 111 in in a tool house and telephoned
to Williamsport for tlie police, but be
fore they arrived, Hissell had escaped
through a window. Picnickers saw
htm running up the railroad track.
Sundav afternoon he turned up at
Ralston, 18 miles north of Williams
port, to which place he had gone on a
freight train. There he leaped into
Lycoming Creek to escape his im
aginary pursuers, hut was rescued by
two men and locked up.
Monday he was taken to the Will
iamsport Hospital and placed in a
straight jacket.

HOSPITAL SEWAGE
J TBn RIVER
The citizens of Danville will he sur
prised and not a little vexed to learn
that the Hospital for the Insane is
draining its sewage into tin- Susque
hanna at its accustomed place about a
mile above the intake at our water
works. With the installation of the
expensive system lor disposing of the
sewage on the Hospital land it was
thought that our town would be re
lieved from further worry on the score
of hospital sewage. It is therefore
much to he regretted that after a brief
intetval of relief covering only a few
months there should he a return to the
old conditions involving so innch soli
citude,if not positive peril to the pub
lic.
How long the sewage has been drain
ing into the river nor how long It is
likely to continue is not known. A
gentleman connected with the Hospit
al who is in a position to know in
formed a representative of the Amer
ican that £it would bo only temp
orary. One of the engines connected
with the system has broken down and
thus has caused all the trouble.
Probably no one regrets the occur
rence more than the Hospital author
ities themselves, but it is unfortunate
that the mishap should have occurred,
especially at this season of the year,
when there is a maximum of illness
due to general causes.
While just at the present the river
is a few feet above low water and the
sewage in groat proportion is probab
ly carried off down the river before it
does much harm, yet last week quite
the opposite existed, the liver being
lower than any other time during the
season with the result that Hospital
sewage must have become pretty well
mixed with the sluggish current and
have been brought to the very thres
hold of the water works.
Had our citizens been apprised of
tho fact that sewage was draining in
to the river they might have praotic
ed the precaution "of boiling their
drinking water, which is universally
recommended in such cases. This is a
precaution that all prudent people will
adopt immediately under the circumst
ances aud will keep it up until all de
focts are romediod in the new system
at the Hospital and the sewnge is
again diverted from the river.
CONFIRMED PROOr.
Residents of Danville Cannot Doubt What
Has Been Twice Proved.
In gratitude for complete relief from
aches and pains of bad backs—from
distressing kidney ills—thousands have
publicly recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. Residents of Danville, who so
testified years ago,now eav their cures
were permanent. This testimony
doubly proves the worth of Doan's
Kidney Pills to Danville kidney suffer
ers.
David P. Jones, printer, ot 401
Church St., says:"l think very high
ly of Doan's Kidney Pills They cur
ed mo of an enervating backache and
lameness across tho small of my back.
This trouble commenced with sharp
twinges just over my hips and later I
had considerable pain all over my
back even extending to the top of the
head, in fact, I never knew where the
pain wonld strike me next. I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills highly recom
mended and procured a box at a drug
store. It only required a short time to
show that they were helping me, and
the trouble left me entirely and I have
had no return of it for years. I made a
statement to that effect in 18.< i and
thai statement stands as good today as
it did then."

Damage Done by Storm.
The early morning stoim, which
passed over this section on Monday
morning attended with a remarkable
phenomenon in the form of heavy and
continuous thunder, did a great deal
of damage elsewhere. The heaviest
part of the storm seemed to pass
around north, the rainfall here being
light.
Lightning struck tho barn on tho
farm of Mrs. David Mauser, tenanted
by Goorge Thomas and located along
the Danville and Hloomsburg Electiic
Railroad immediately beyond Gro
vania.
The iightning tore the shingles off
the roof and running down the rafters
tore off the shingles on another side
of the barn. Notwithstanding tho fact
that the barn was filled with summer
crops and the shingles were of piue
there was not a sign on the barn of
the lightning having even burned a
shingle.
The residence of Fred Miller, on
West First street, Ralston addition,
Bloonisbnrg, was struck by lightning
during tlio storm. The lightning en
tered the roof and passed down to a
hall on the second floor. A hole about
a foot square was torn in the roof,but
fortunately no other damage was done.
During the early morning storm,the
barn on the farm of Dr. B. K. Gard
ner, in Scott township, Columbia
County, was struck by lightning but
the damage was slight. The barn was
struck at the rear end knocking off a
lot of weather boards which were
thrown into the stable among the
horses, but fortunately no OIK* were
injuie }.

Nervous Headache.
The Oause of Much Suffering to Women
is Permanently Cured When the Sys

Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills
When the headaohes hard and throbs;
when the neck and eyes grow stitt.the
face flushes or grows deadly white;
when any excitement or over effort
brings on an attack of nervous head
ache so severe that it leaves you weak,
trembly, shaky and utterly worthless
for days.it is a certaiu indication that
the nervous system is shattered—that
resistive power is gone—that you need
a medicine that will rebuild and re
supply the lost nerve force, that will
so strengthen you that you can resist
and overcome these terriblo seizures.
Such a medicine is Dr. A. W. Chase's
Nerve Pills, a medicine that does not
relieve but goes to the root of the
trouble and positively cores.
Mrs. John Fall of Fourth St., Toronto, 0.,
says:
"I like Dr. A W Chase's Nerve
Pills because they cured my nervous
sick headaches —these headaches used
to plav me out and leave me weak and

eyes used to get stiff and sore during
the attack and the neck so stiff 1 could
hardly turn it. The Nerve Pills, how
ever. proved to be just what 1 needed
and cured the attacks in a hurry. As

MOIVS SMIS
OF BOAD TAX;
The State Highway Department has
issued a valuable statement relating to
the Good Roads Law. From it we
learn that Montour, like the progres
sive littlo county that she is, has tak
en pretty fair advantage of her pre
rogative under the law and that while
she has a mile or so of excellent high
way to her credit she has still a nice
sum available from the" State, suttici
ent to construct at least another mile
ot macadam road.
This is especially gratifying as the
statement shows that several counties
through their failure to apply for
State aid have lost their entire ap
portionment for two years. A number
of others have lost a portion ot their
money, not having filed enough ap
plications to consume the entire
amounts of their pro rata share. The
statement shows the redistribution of
the money, which has reverted from
certain counties.the redistribution be
ing based upon road mileage of the
various counties among which this
reverting fund shows the total ap
portionments distributed.
From the tablo showing the sums as
reapportioned we find that Montour
county had remaining to its oredit on
May 1. 11(05, from the apportionment
of 1903 and 11104 tlie sum of $3,528. <>B.
The sum that Montour contributed in
the redistribution of excess of appor
tionment to counties whose applica
tions exceeded their apportionment
was f1,T51.0:1. The total apportionment
of Montour county available May 1,
11(05, to May 1, lHOti, including redis
tribution of May 1, 11)05 is giveu as
19,553.38.
From which one of our townships
an application will next be made is
uncertain, hut the tact remains that
there IN not a section of the county in
which one or more roads is not en
counteied that stands in need of recon
stiuction and in the improvement of
which State aid would come into play
very nicely.
The statement shows the total ap
portionment available for the present
year to be $1,1(1(0.000.

The Oyster and the R.
With the going c.ut of the months
without an "r" there enters the oys
ter,at least that is the popular impres
sion, but as a matter of fact the oyster
is with us always. There is no time in
the year that Danville dealers will not.
get a customer for oysters. To be sure
in some mouths they are not is good
as in others, but the dealers say that
properly cared for the oyster is a*
good in July as in December.
There used to he a law in Pennsyl
vania forbidding the sale of oysters in
May. Jane, July and August, the im
pression being that they were injur
ious 10 public neaim ouriug inose
months, hut the oyster dealers iu tune
showed how utterly absurd was such
a supposition and the law wag repeal
ed. Therefore, you can get oysters at
any time of the year..
Hut it is witli tiie coming of Sept
ember that the average man gets the
oystor habit, and as the days grow
cooler so grows larger the appetite for
the oyster,and he will have every rea
son to be satisfied this season. Dan
ville dealers who have heard from the
dreggers say that the oyster crop this
year will be the finest ever known.
The weather conditions during the
summer were perfect for fine oyster
growing, and in quantity and quality
the crop will be splendid.

fact that the yield will be enormous.
highwaymen at Lime Ridge.
Lime Kidge was tlio scene of a hold
up Saturday night, in which Harry
Wertman.the D. L. &W. ticket agent,
was the victim. Tlio highwaymen
were very daring, but they lacked a
little in cleverness.as they unwitting
ly returned to tlio owner sixty five
dollars which they had taken out of
his pocket.
After the departure of the last train,
which reaches Dauville at 9:10, Mr.
Wertman closed Ins office and started
for his home in Lime Kidge, about a
mile away. It was quite dark and
rainy and when about half way home
lie was held up. There were two men,
each masked. Mr. Wertin ui was taken
unawares .and with two revolver look
inn him in the face he was unable to
do anything and submitted as grace
fully as possible
In his trousers' pocket lie had near
ly live dollars in change, which the
robbers took. They next reached into
the inside pocket of his coat and took
out a large wallet. In this altogether
there were about 75 dollars in bills.
Mr. Wertman regarded all as lost but
ho asked the highwaymen to return
him the wallet, as independent of the
money it contained papers which were
of great value to him, but which they
could make no use of.
The highwaymen proceeded to nom
ply and abstracting ten dollars which
first met their gaze they returni d tlio

The first reunion of the NlUnd Regi
niout was held in Danville 011 Mon

program of the interesting event has
just been unearthed. On that occasion
there was a great parade and the re
union 011 the whole proved a grand
affair. A camp fire was held in the
Opera House. The program shows that
the late lamented Captain George
liovett presided. The address of wel
come was delivered by James Scarlet,
Esq .the response being made by Maj
or F. L. Hitchcock, of Scranton.

longing to Company A was presented
to the Company by the ladies of Dan
ville. The flag presentation took place
at the Opera House at It .30 a. m.and
was one of the interesting events of
the day.
Daring tlie interval of seventeen
years elapsing since the first reunion
many changes have taken place in the
Regiment. Among the raombeis of
Company A figuring in the ahove pro
gram who have answered the last roll
call are: Captain Lovett, Angus Wright
and A. W. Heaver. Dwindling ranks
and advancing years have conspired to
make the parade for the next reunion
inadvisable, although it was such a
prominent feature on the first occas.
ion. The reunion, however, will not
he deficient in interest and will prove
a beautiful object lessou to show how
the men who as mere hoys fought
shoulder to shoulder, braving doath
and suffering privation after so many
years of separation.of vicissitudes and
of trial are still uuited in one band by
the ties of comradeship and fraternal
love.

Census and School Teachers.
The conclusion of edueators, that
"knowledge conies, but wisdom ling
ers" is confirmed by the Uuitad States
ceusns, and lias been just announced
in iii devoted to sohool teach
cm. A cording to tho ceusus there are
many mope school teachers thaD there
used to he. Twenty years ago the
•iv. rtge s '/.a of a class in the schools
w:»- 187, the age of the pupils ranging
between 5 yearn and 25. When the last
censns was taken, the average olass
numbered 71, and there were more
scholats l eing taught. Thus it Is prov
i n that there are more teaohers. Aud
it. is most, interesting to note that the
majority ot these teachers are sons
aud daughters of foreigners who have
come tii this couutry to settle. Most
of the::i arc daughters, for the propor
tion of female teachers is always on
the increase. There are now three
women t auhera to one male, while 25
years ago they were almost equally
divided. Tho cities naturally have
more tcai hers to the population than
the country districts aud small towns.
The public school systems are better
devotoped in the centers of population.
Eighty per cent, of the city teachers
are women. The figures show, too,
tl'.at the aveiage of the womeu is high
er than in the years gone by.
However, the Pittsburg Press finds
that thee is one vital point that is
left untouched by the treatise, that is,
that these women teachers, as a rule,
are poorly paid aud do more work, for
less moony, than any other class of
people ui the country. Some day
when they are appreciated at their
true worth, they will get justice, and
that will mean mere money.
