STATE UD FUR BMGH STREETS There are a good inauy persons who are familiar with the Sprools Good Roads law uuder which the State Highway iu Mahoning township was oonstrncted, who can not understand how State Aid in road building ap pl'es to Boroughs and fancy that those persous labor under some misapprehe 11 siou, who advocate the macadamizing of"North Mill street under the Good Roads Law. The following section from the Law Providing State Aid iu Construction ami Maintenance of Pub lio Roads as approved May I, 1905, wilt clear up the whole matter and will show liosv nicely the law applies to that |>ortiou of Mill street between Center street aud the Borough line, which is just now the only bad sec tion in a loug stretch of highway. Section 17 provides: Where a por tion of an important maiu highway, traversing one or more townships aud for the improvement of which accord ing to the provisions of this act ap plication has been made by said town ship or townships,shall lie within the limits of, or traverse, any borough or boroughs, aud where the taiiure of said borough or boroughs to improve the said highway would leave a break or unimproved section in a continuous improved highway, it shall be lawful for the County Commissioners of the oounty iu which said highway is locat ed to enter into an agreement with said borough or boroughs to bear a portion of the expenses of said im provement of the highway within the borough limits in the same manner as is herein provided for the co-operation between the counties and townships: Provided, That an improved road shall have been previously constructed in an adjoining township or boicogh to the line of the borough making appli cation. The State Highway Depart ment may. If the State Highway Com missioner so recommends, bear a por tion of the expense of said improve ment of said'highway within said bor ough limits; but iu no case shall the portion of said expense to be borne by the State exceed seventy-five per cent um of the total expense of said im provement. Boroughs shall only re ceive aid from the State, as aforesaid in oases where failure to reoeive such aid would prevent continuous im piovement of an importaut niaiu high way: Provided, That any borough which is willing to pay tho one-fourth of the cost of constructing any such road, as herein before mentioned, may make application direct to tho State Highway Department.

Dixon, Commissioner of Health, which is printed on re quest : Allow me respeotfully to call your | attention to the fact that Section 13 of the Act of June 18, 1895, requires that "the health authorities of ail municipalities shall furnish to prin cipals or other persons in charge of public, private, parochial, Sunday or other schools, and to physicians, the necessary ceititicates or blanks for the uses and purposes as set forth as re quired in Section 12 of said Act, which Section reads as follows : "All principals or other persons 111 ] charge of schools as aforesaid are here by required to refuse the admission of any child to the schools under their or supervision, except upon a certificate signed by a physician set ing forth that such child lias been successfully vaccinated, or that it has previously had small-pox." Section 13 provides in addition that "The registry of said schools shall exhibit the names and residences of all children or persons admitted or re jected for reasons set forth iu this Act, and said registry shall be open at all times to the inspection of the health authorities." In view of the above recited re quirements, I would suggest the im portance of at once making inquiry in order to discover whether the princip als or other persons in charge of all schools (public, private, parochial, Sunday or other schools) and all phy sicians within your jurisdiction have been thus supplied with the necessary certificates, blanks or registries as re quired by law. It. will be the duty of your board to supply any deficiencies in this respect. It will also be its duty to notify each principal or teacher, as ti.e case may be, formally and in writing, of the re quirements of the law and the penalties for its neglect or violation. Yours very truly, SAMUEL G. DIXON, Commissioner of Health. WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES. Kidney Diseases Cause Half the Common Aches anil Ills of Danville People. " As one weak liuk weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weakeii the whole body and hasten the final breaking down. Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessoned the whole body suffers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood. Actios and paius and languor and urinary ills come,and there is an ever lasting tendency towards diabetes and fatal Bright's disease. There is 110 real help for the sufferer except kid ney help. Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney ill. Danville cures are tho proof. Levi Alleger, baker, of 102 North Spruce street, says:"l found more relief from the use of Poan's Kidney Pills than from anything I ever used for kidney trouble. About eight years ago I had considerable lameness in my back, over the hips and a continual aching right over the kidneys. These pains cluug to me and increased in severity if I stooped or lifted. Oc casionally sharp pains would pass through nie and shoot up between uiy shoulders, along my spine. All this caused me considerable suffering mid unfitted me for my work. I could not sleep well at night and in the morning would arise tired and unfreshed. I read about Doan's Kidney Pills cur ing others and got a box. After taking them as directed I felt better and con tinued the treatment until 1 felt all right. I made a statement in 1890, in which 1 said that Doan's Kidney Pills had cured mo. I can only reiterate that statement at this time. I always keep Doan's Kidney Pills in the house, and whenever a cold or a strain brings on a tired or weak back they never fail to remove the trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

One of the strongest of the coming attractions at the Grand Opera House, Bloomsburg, Thursday evening, will be the elaborate and beautiful produc tion of Wilson Barrett's remarkable drama, "The Sigu of the Cross," which will be seen tor the first time in that city on Thursday evening. The action of the play is laid iu Rome dur ing the time of Nero's tyrannical reign, and the story of the persecuted Christians who died for their faith is beautifully told.aided materially by a series of magnificent pictures of anci ent Rome and the sumptuous magnific ence of the corrupt ruler's court.

Sh amok in like a good many other towns hereabout is watching our mun ioipal light experiment with interest ANNUAL STATEMENT OF Y. I. C. A. Owing to the fact that the Young Men's Christian Association is with out a General Secretary at this time, it has been doomed advisable not to hold the anniversary exercises, as iu former years; hat, in order that the pubilc may he in possession of some important matters relative to the As sociation, the retiring General Secre tary, William I). Laumaster, has been requested to prepare a statement of the work for publication, which he very willingly agreed to do, and his report, including that of the Treasur er, W. V. Oglesby.Esq ,and the Presi dent of the Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. ,T. E. Moore, is herewith given: "The Danville Association, through its Directors, paid ollicers and mem bers, has doubtless accomplished much good duting the past year. Regular lines of work were carried oil every day during the week,as well as 011 the Sabbath,when there were held a Men's Bible ('lass and a Men's Gospel meet ing. The building, which is well adap ted for the work, has been iu constant use. All the rooms are neatly fur nished, well-lighted and comfortable. The reading room is well stocked with first-class periodicals and newspapers, and the game room contains various games for the amusement of young men. Tho gymnasium and bath rooms are also in first-class order. "The Sunday afternoon Gospel meet ing for meu, the Sunday morning Men's Bible Class, and the Monday evening Bible Class for ladies and gentlemen were held regularly during the season. The Thomas Beaver Boys' Bible Class held regular weekly ses sions and also a monthly receptio.i, and had a membership of 238 for the year. " Attendance in tho gymnasium class es was large, and all who took part in this department of the Association work were not only pleased with the instruction given by Mr. Carpeuter, tho Physical Director, but were great ly benefitted in health "The social side of the work was most gratify ing, and during the year a num ber of social gatherings were given for the pleasure of the members. During the Association's busy season, which covets a period of nine months—from September to June,—there were visits made to the building, including those in attendance at receptions, meetings, and Bible Classes, to the number of 38,816, making a monthly average of 4312, or a dtily average of 145, which shows the value of the work in reach ing the people, —particularly young men. "The Ladies' Auxiliary, which alwajs stands ready to assist in the work, rendered most valuable service during the year. It responded to eyery call for help, ami was constantly on the alert to show iu a practical way, its appreciation of the efforts being made to benefit young men and hoys. Dur ing the yjar it contributed to the work the sum of $417.88, which was expended in improving the building, putting iu new rugs, linoleum and towels,cleaning the building, furnish ing reading-room supplies, contribut ing money to pay for the Boys' Bible Class Christmas reception and annual picnic: also furnishing refreshments for the Now Year's Reception, be sides paying a coal bill of over #OO.OO and donating f200.00 to the work for current expenses. "The retiring General Secretary de sires to express for tlie Association (which he served for nearly ten years) as well as for himself personally his entiro appreciation of the kindness shown himself and wife by the Direc tors and members,the clergy,the press, and many private individuals, who have assisted in many ways to make burdens lighter, and the work more attiactive and far reaching. "In closing our work in Danville,it is our wish that we shall have the sympathy and prayers of the people, and wo, in turn, will ever pray for those with whom we have bet 11 so long associated in the work of the Lord tor the salvation of young men."

Treasurer AS TO FILLING UP THE OLD CANAL That the old canal, which litis as sumed the character of itn open sewer, is a grievous nusianco ail will admit. When the I). JJ. & W. Kail road Com pany proposed to co-operate with the Borough in )>i and filling op the old waterway most people thought a solution had at last been reached and in view of the unsanitary conditions prevailing were very much disappoint ed when at the last meeting of Coun cil the sower committee merely report ed progress instead of indicating that the agreement submitted by the own ers of the canal in August had been signed and that the woik of abating the nuisance would soon begin. The truth of the matter is that Coun cil is divided as to the justice or the practicability of the D. L. & W. 's proposition and there are little pros pects of their getting together so as to even begin the work this fall. The time limit allowed for the fill ing up of the great ditch in the man ner specified is considered as altogeth er too short,as the engineer's estimate of the number of cubic yards of filling required is not loss than HO,OOO. The agreement also requires the Borough to prepare a bed for the pipe and this together with the filling up in the mind of some of the members consti tutes considerably more than half of the burden. It is held that the pipe specified—l 2 inch and 18 iuch—is inadequate; also that the sewer proposed being a san itary sewer makes it impossible to provide drainage for the surface wat er, which from time immemorial has found an outlet through the old canal or in the depression which before its day existed there. These objections others of the mem bers think can be overcome. It is be lieved that the D. L. & W. Compauy can be induced to modify its terms somewhat As to tilling up, it is held, that the manufacturing concerns all along the canal have indicated their willingness to dump ashes and cinder into the old waterway, which in the course of a few years would assist materially in obliterating the old ditch. In order that our readers may know just what the D. L. & W. Company proposes to do in the premises a syn opsis of thieir agreement presented to Council is herewith triven. It starts out with the declaration that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company is the own ••r of the right of way and the bed of the Pennsylvania canal; that the thor ough of Danville for the purpose of improving sanitary conditions desires that a sewer be constructed in that portion of the canal between Wall street and the aqueduct and that the canal be filled up. The agreement proposes that the Railroad Company'shall at its own ex pense furnish all the materials tor constructing the said sewer frnui a point beneath the center of Wall street to aud connecting with tin present How-line sewer crossing under said canal bed near the aqueduct together with mauhnles.all that portiuii of said sewer east of Railroad street to lie eon structed of terra ootta pipe twelve inches in diameter and that portion west of Railroad street of terra cotta pipe eighteen inches in diameter. It is agreed that said sewer shall be con structed in a manner to be approved by the Rorough, the expense of all in spection to he borne by the Rorough. Refore the commencement of the con struction of the sower by the Railroad Company the Borough shall till the bed of the canal up to the grade line of said sewer. Upon the completion of the sewer the same shall thereafter be maintained by the Rorough as a part of the sewer system and all neces sary repairs and reconstruction shall he provided by and at the expense of the Borough. Upon the completion of said sewer by the Railroad Company and in con sideration thereof, the Borough shall at its own expense fill the bed of said canal from aud including Wall street to the aqueduct west of Mill street,to the level of the land adjoining said canal, on both sides thereof, with such ma terial and in such manner as shall be approved by the Railroad Company, subject to inspection at all times. At the intersection of said canal with Wall street, Sechler street and Rail road street, the Railroad Company shall remove the present highway bridges across the bed of the canal aud the Borough shall fill the bed of said canal at said points to the established or adopted grade of said streets and shall at its own expense perform aud provide all necessary street work in connection therewith. The Borough shall complete all the work provided in this section within two years from the date of completion of said sewer. Got off Easy.

WILSON VISITS OLD HOME Mrs. William Wilson, who nineteen years ago with her husband and chil dren removed from Danville to far away Oregon,has made a long journey hack to her old home here only to have what, was looked forward to as a happy visit darkened by a great sorrow, which has fallen like a blight upon her household in the West Mrs. Wilson arrived here one week ago and on Wednesday while visiting her brother, .1. F. Uenirickson, Valley township, received a letter conveying the dreadful news that her son,llarvey Wilson, a deputy Sheriff, had been found dead in his otlice. the victim ot a pistol shot The Wilson family is well remember ed in this city. William Wilson, the husband and father, was clerk in the Post Office while both Colonel (3. W. Eckman and Thomas Chalfant were postmasters. The deputy Sheriff,whose tragic death is noted above, was a pupil in the public schools of Danville and like his father is well remember ed here. It was about 188K that Mr. and Mrs. Wilson with their family of eight chil dren bade adieu to relatives and friends and started on their long jour ney to l'aradise, Oregon, where forty - five miles from a railroad they settled on a farm. Years passed by while the children grew up and some of them married. At intervals letters passed between the family on the frontier of civilization and their relatives in this section, hut Mrs. Wilson's visit is the first that any ot the family has made to the Kast. The usual life of self-denial which falls to the lot of early settlers was theirs. They had their sorrows, too. Before they had boon very long in their new home their eldest son was stricken with a fever and he died. On the farm a solitary gravo to this day, kept green by loving hands, shows where his bones repose. If the tirst death which occurred where even strangers were few, was a hard blow to hear, the death of a second son so sudden and tragic falls with still more crushing force on the mother's heart, who is a week's journey from where he died and where dwell all the sor rowing survivors but herself. The young man's death it appears is enshrouded in mystery. He was deputy Sheriff of Wallawa county. Oregon, and may have had enemies. He was found lying on the floor of his otlice beside the chair on which he had been sitting. On the floor lay a revolver with one of the chambers empty. The ball had pierced his body producing a fatal wound, death apparently being nearly instantaneous Mrs. Wilson was accompanied E ist by her sister. MM.

CHASE'S NERVE PILLS The man who hesitates, whose eye is dull, whose step is slow, v* hose mind is sluggish, whose Tiands trem hie, is not the irau whom an employer seeks. It is the bright man, the man with the clear eye and brain, tlie ac tive man,full of energy,life and vigor, whoso very manner and presence hreedw success that, is sought for and snapped up as soon as seen, and it seems almost pitiful that the first class, victims of excess of souie sort, should exist, when it needs but a thorough course of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills to round them into the old-time feeling of physical intellectu al and manlv vigor again. Mr. Free Hoyt, of No. 724 Gt.h Ave., New Brighton, Pa., says: "1 used to have a hand so steady I could write the Lord's piayer on a twenty live cent pioco—then as a re sult of overwork and overstrain my eyes gave out and my hands and nerves generally lv came trembly. I was restless and could not sleep. 1 certainly was in bad shape and lost my ability to write—could just scrawl. I heard of Dr. A W. Chase's Nerve Fills and got some and they took hold immediately. 1 began to sleep—gain strength—my nerves grew steady—and my eyesight improved greatly.
