There are a good inauy persons who
are familiar with the Sprools Good

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

said borough or boroughs to improve
the said highway would leave a break

for the County Commissioners of the

COMMUNICATION TO
BOARD OF HEALTH
The local Board of Health has re
ceived the following communication
from Samuel G. 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."

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."

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.

MRS. 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. Sarah Surver, of
Montandon, who had been sojourning
in Oregon for a year

and will leave Lafayette this week for

to the east. Mr. Goodall's many

DR. VV. CHASE'S
NERVE PILLS
The man who hesitates, whose eye

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. Today
I feel finely and can again write as
well as ever, and that means a v<<ry
steady nerve." 50c a box at dealers

Are You Engaged.
Engaged people should remember
that, after marriage, many quarrels
can be avoided, by keeping their diges
tions in good oonditiou with Electric
Bitters . S. A. Brown, of Bennetts
ville, S. 0., says:"For years, my
wife suffered intensely from dyspepsia,
complicated with a torpid liver, uutil
she lost her strength and vigor, and
became a mere wreck of her former
self. Theu she tried Electric Bitters,
which helped her at once, and finally
made her ontirely well. She is now
strong and healthy." Paules & Co.,

Rev. Dr. McCormaek,pastor of Grove
Presbyterian church, aud his guest,T.
W. Woodward, of Tioga,who has been
in Danville for a few days past, were
chosen as umpires at the cricket match
between Williamsport aud Blooms
burg, which was played at the latter
place on Saturday afternoon.
Dr. McGormack is an enthusiast oil
erioket. He prouounces the game Sat
urday as a very interesting one, the
howling being exceptionally good.The
score was 33 to Win favor of Bloorns
burg.
As will be seen by the score Blooms
burg has a winning team. Cricket is
rapidly coming into favor in Danville
among persons who desire some form of
healthful exeroise that is not confined
to the young and athletic and whioh
does not carry with it as much risk of
being injured as base ball and foot
ball. For several weeks past a party
ol players has been practicing at crick
et at DeWitt's Fark aud has been get
ting along very nicely. The season for
cricket is about closed now but next
spring, it is thought, a club will be
formed in Danville.

The Traverse Jurors will be notified
not to appear until Monday. NovenT
ber 13th, J»OS, at which time will be
heard and triad all true bills found in

terminer. All oases on the criminal
trial list and all civil cases must then
be disposed of by trial or settlement
or they will bo stricken from the list

Couit.
The above information was convey
ed to Prothoiiotary Thomas G. Vinc
ent yesterday by Judge Staples of
Monroe county, who will preside at
the term of court here in November.
The civil trial list is a lengthy one
and contains cases that have been car
ried aloug since 1902. Judge Staples
is thoroughly in earnest as to his in
tention of cleauing up the docket and
will carry court into the second week,
if this should prove necessary.
Numerous and Worthless.
Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E. C.
DoWitt & 00. of Chicago discovered
some years ago how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is a specific for
Piles. For blind, bleeding, itching
and protruding Piles, eczema, cuts,
burns, bruises and all skin diseases
De Witt's Salve has no equal. This has
given rise to numerous worthless
counterfeits. Ask for DeWitt's—the

Will Riprap River Bank.
F. Q. Haitman, this week or next,
will begiu work on a very important
and extensive improvement on his
property in this city, the object of
which is to prevent the river from
outting further into the bank at his
Silk Mills.
Eor years past Mr. Hartman has been
depositing the ashes which accumu
late at his plant along the riv. r fill
ing np all depressions and squat lug up
the bank. With each succeeding break
up, however, the high water and ice
in passing down the stream undo the
work he has accomplished, cuttiug in
to the bauk very badly and some sea
sons carrying off a strip ot ground sev
eral feet in width. ** T
|lr. Hartman's plan is to riprap the
river bank on an extensive scale, using
stone hauled iu from Parselt's slope,
an enormous deposit of which he has
purchased at that place. The rip rap
will extend for uearly five hundred
feet and as the bank is high at that
point it cau readily be seen that a vast
amount of work is involved.
Mr. Hartman has purchased a strong
team of horses, which are to he used
exclusively iu hauling stones in from
the slope. They are likely to be put
to work at almost any day and kept
continuously at it until the rip rap is
finished. A large number of farm
teams will also be employed as soon
as the corn is husked aud the busy
season is over, as Mr. Hartman wants
the work completed during tho early
part of winter.

The Stai:daid Electric Light C< in
panv is installing a new and much
latger pas holder, which coustitutoa
ihu most impnrtaut improvement s.<t
on foot at that plant during many
years. Not only is the new gas hold
er thoroughly modern, embodying the
latest principle,hot it is nearly double
the si/eof tin iino displaced, raising
the capacity up to 30,000 cubic feet.
In point of size the newholder eclips
es anything in this section of the
country.
The Standard Gas Company sella 2i>,-
000 cubic feet of gas daily and the en
largement as proposed became a posi
tive necessity Thr gas holder will he
I fifty leot in di tinier and thirty-seven
I feet high when fully inflated. It will
have seven latticed girders and stand
ards. Along the top of the tank seven
teen feet from the ground will le a
walk of iron plate. The iron columns
required to guide the lioldor will be
thirty five feet high. The tank and
holder will contain twenty-six tons of
iron.
About the heaviest part ot the prop
osition, however, is the construction
of the foundation which will be of
concrete, and the contract for which
is hold by T. L Evans' Sons. In old
er to reach a suitable foundation (or
the massive structure it is necessary
togo down to giavel bottom. An im

Superintendent George M. West list
evening stated that an effort is being
made to push the work along and un
less plans miscarry by December Ist,
the new holder will be tested and ful
ly completed. This, he said, will be
necessary in order to take care of the
increased demand during the Christ
mas holidays, which heretofore has

A Laxative Cough Syrup.
"A cold or cough nearly always pro
duces constipation —the water all runs
to the eyes, nose and tin oat instead of
passing out of the system through the
liver an I kidneys. Eor the want of
moisture the low els become dry and
hard." Kennedy's Laxative Honey
and Tar is the original Laxative
Cough Syiup. It meets and corrects
the abev< conditions, by acting as a
pleasant cathartic on the bowels—ex

Shamokin Don't Like It.
The Mineral Railway Company.own
ers of the extensive mountain tract ex
tending from Kilgewood Park to Bunk
er Hill, nottli of Shamokin. has given
the contract to a party to strip it of
all timber.
This will make a desert of what is
now one of rhe most picturesque tiacts
in the region, aud Shamokin prople
are strongly opposed to it. It is argu
ed that if all of the trees are removed
Shamokin wilt be practically helpless
in case of storms, and that loss of life
and great d:wnaue to property will be
the result.

took to the fields where the cattle were
grazing, snapping at everything that
got in his way.
In the meantime Mr. Reich had
