OPERATORS WILL
FIGHT DNIUN
On April 1, 190 C., every coal mine in
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
West Virginia and part of Kentucky
will closo down for an indefinite per
iod, if present plana do not misc.rry.
A meetiug of the coal operators of
all these states has bean called to take
place November 22nd at Chicago, when
plans will be completed for the great
est lockout in the history of the world.
This arrangement is intended to crush
the United Mine Workers of America
as an organization, and at the same
time force up the price of coal to the
consumer.
Herman Justi, commissioner of the
Illiuois Coal Operators' Association
tent out the call for the Chicago con
ference. This will be the first time
the anthracite coal operators will have
entered into an agreement with the
bitominoaa operators. Tha object of
their joining in the conference is to
ourb the growth of unionism in the
eastern coal mines.
There exists among the Western
Peunsylvauia, Indiana. Ohio and Il
liuois coal operators an agreement
known as the interstate agreement,
wtiereby the operators annually meet
the United Mine Workers of the var
ious districts and sottle on a mining
rate for the year. The anthracite coal
operators are unwilling to deal with
the miners' union,and have about 33,-
000 miners employed in Eastern Penn
sylvania under individual contracts.
All the wage scales in these states
expire April 1: iu fact, nearly all the
mining scales of thecouutry expire on
that date. It is to meet this crisis tfiat
the meeting has b.ien called in Chi
oago next November. The miners are
getting better wages than ever in the
history of the industry, taking work
ing facilities into consideration The
interstate price is based on 85 cents
per ton for soft coal mined aud ran
over an inch and oue-qaarter screen.
Some of the Western coal operators
want this reduced to 70 cents a ton,
and the miners will meet with this
proposal iu January at the wage con
ference.The eastern operators will not
be represented at this January gather
ing It is believed that the miners rep
resentatives will refuse to accept the
redaction, and the mines will be clos
ed down until one side or the other is
starved out.
As a result, the anthracite operators
have began piling up coal, and will
fill their docks at both ends of the
lakes, aud will load every boat, barge
and scow obtainable with coal between
now and April 1 The operators have
reached an understanding whereby no
contracts are to be accepted for coal
between now and April 1 for delivery
after April 1.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Doan's Kidney Pills Save Done Great Ser
vice for People Who Work in Danville.
Most Danville people work every
day in some st r ained, unnatural posi
tion—bending constantly over a desk
—riding on jolting wagons or cars—
doing laborious housework; lifting,
reaching or pulling,or trying the back
in a hundred and one other ways. All
these strains tend to wear, weal en
and injure the kidneys until they fall
behind in their work of filtering the
poisons from the blood. Doan's Kid
ney Pills cure sick kidneys, put new
strength in bad backs.
Henry Collins, moulder, of 445 N.
6th St., Bloomsburg, Pa ,says:"For
years I suffered with kidney complaint
backache and bladder weakness. 1
used all kinds of remedies but none of
tliem seemed to have any beneficial
effect. The secretions from the kid
neys gave me constant annoyance and
bothered me night and day. My back
became so weak and painful across the
loins that I could scarcely get about
at times. I have had to lay off from
work time after time. I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised in the papers
and very highly recommended by peo
ple I knew. I obtained a box and used
them as directed. I never had any
thing act as promptly in my life. The
first box cured me of the pain and
weakness. I kept on taking the rem
edy until 1 had used four boxes when
the bladder weakness left me. I have
had no trouble with the kidney secre
tions for at least two years. I con
i sider Doan's Kidney Pills worth their
weight in gold."

FOOL PLOT
TO HORDED SHEBIFP;
John Sees, David Barrett, and El
inor Halderruan wore arraigned before
Justice of 1110 Peace VV. V. Oglesby on I
Saturday charged with attempting to
break jail. Not only were the throe ;
men, already awaiting trial 011 serious
charges, held for court on the addition j
al charge, hut during the hearing the
use of tha cudgel found seoreted above
the doorwav was fully exjilained ; this
was to l»e appplied to the vile purpose
of murder; the victim was to he the
Sheriff and the in 111 Alio was to strike
the fatal blow was one who had pre
viously disclaimed all ccnnectiou with
the attempt to break jail.
2 The information lodged before Jus
tice W. V. Oglesby by Sheriff George
Maiers Saturday morning sets foith as
follows: "That on the 17th day of
September at the county jail, Montour
county, John Sees, David Barrett and
Elmer Halderman, beiug prisoners in
said jail, charged with indictable of
fenses, did break prison, although no
escape was actually made, contrary to
the Act of the General Assembly »u
such cases made and provided."
The hearing took place at 11 o'clock.
The arrangements had been conducted
with great caution and secrecy and
thus was a crosvd at the hearing avoid
ed. David Barrett and Elmer Haider
man were brought down from the jail
handcuffed together by Officer John
Gricr Voris; John Sees, also hand
cuffed, was in charge of Chief-of-Po
lice Mincemoyer,while Sheriff George
Maiers followed with George Cross
ley, who although a prisoner, was not
charged with jail breaking but was
wanted as a witness
The hearing was conducted by Dis
trict Attorney Kalph Kisner. The in
formation was read, and the men ar
raigned were asked whether they bad
anything to say,whether guilty or not
guilty.at the same time the usual pre
caution being taken to remind them
of their prerogative in tho matter and
to warn them that what they said
might be used against them. All three
of the men—Sees, Halderman and Bar
rett—pleaded " Not Guilty."
Sherifl George Maiers was the fiist
witness sworn. Ho decribed the at
tempt to break jail as printed in these
columns Tuesday morning, emphasiz
ing the fact, that it was only in Sees'
and Halderman'a cell that he found
any of the bars sawed.
George Crosslev the principal wit
ness. followed the Sheriff. Georgo
who is held on a charge of assault aud
battery, was out a couple of days last
week on his own recognizance to at
tend his mother's funeral. On Satur
day he had resumed bis place behind
the bars. Being sworn, Georgo testifi
ed that ho knew of the attempt made
by Sees, Halderman and Barrett to es
cape. He related how the s*ws came
in through the rear window. Sees,
Halderman and Barrett, fie said were
all three in tho j lot to escape. He was
quito sure, however, that Barrett had
done 110 part of the sawing, ju-t as it
was shown by the Sheriff's testimony
that noun of tha saws or other iuiph
meuts were found in Barrett's rell.
The sawing. Crossley swore, was done
on Sunday the 17th inst by Sees and
Halderman.
Tho most se'isational part of Cross
ley's.testimony occurred when he ex
jilained the purpose to which the
heavy chair leg, secreted above tho
cage door was to be applied by tho
prisoners in their attempt toe-cape.
It was a part of their plan that Cross
ley was to play off sick that was all
they asked of him Taking advantage
of the liberty accorded them Sees was
to be out in tho small corridor be
tween the cells cleaning up things.
Crossley's agonizing cries were to sum
mon the Sheriff, who unsuspectingly
was relied upon as was his wont to
unlock the cage door and enter. At
this moment, according to Crossley,
Sees was to seize the club and deal
the Sheriff a blow upon the head,after
which the official was to be dragged
back into the by the 111011, who
had sawed their w::y out of the cells;
the cage door was to be relocked aud
safe beyond tho possibility of discov
ery and pursuit the prisoners were to
walk out of jail.
This part of the testimony will be
received witfi a great deal of surprise,
as Sees at the hearing of Seitz aud
Halm, arrested as confederates a week
ago, disclaimed all connection with
the attempt to break jail and gave
testimony, which was instrumental in
holding those two for trial.
Beyond his plea of "not guilty"
Barrets maintained a silence during
the hearing. He frequently shifted his
liosition to use the spittoon behind
I In 111 and as the hearing proceeded rose
to I.is feet and moved a couple of
stops forward. 111 this position lie
stood during the latter iiart of the
floating. Halderman was of a much
more excitable disposition and was
iuohn 1 to talk. As the desperate pur
pose of murder seemed to ho fixed up
on the prisoners Halderman voluntari
ly confessed his own part and charged
the premeditation of murder to Se> s.

NEW WORK AT
THE HOSPITAL
If is stated positively by those in a
position to know that building opera
tions at the Hospital fot the Insane
will be started this fall 011 Saturday
the encouraging news was given out
that ground might be brokeu inside of
thirty days.
The buildings to bo started include
not only tlie Light and Power Plant
but also the buildings to relieve over
crowding. Just what sliapa the latter
may assume is not clear at preseut.but
there seems to be no doubt but that
the long interim between tho signing
of the bill aud the present has been
well improved, that all difficulties
have been pretty well straightened out
and that the buildings decided upon
are such as will meet general appro
val.
The delay in perfecting the plans
for the Light and Power Plant, which
has held up the work is accounted for
011 tho grounds that the task involving
as it does so much detail is an unusu
ally tedious and difficult one, which
in the hands of the greatest expert liv
ing would bo the work of several
months.
It is stated that tlie plans and speci
fications for the Light and Power
Plant are now completed aud are
ready togo before the Building Com
mittee of the Board of Trustees. On
the whole it is safe to assume that be
fore winter sets in tho worn will be in
progress and that a large number of
men will find work on the Hospital
grounds.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A Disease That Robs You of Every Pleas

DR. A. W. ChASE'S
NERVE PILLS
Overwork the stomach, or subject it
to the depressing influence of worry,
care, or constant excitement, audit
gives out. Ask it to digest anything,
everything, at any time", and in half
the time required, and. like an over
driven horse, it balks. The roasi 11 for
this lies in the close nerve relation
ship b tween tho brain and stomach,
and tho fact that the irritation of
either organ means the distress of tlie
other Mature intended tho stomach
j should have regular hours —a time to
work, a time to rest —md when you
break up this habit you upset the
whole arraugemeut. Tho stomach
nerves become exhausted, the glands
refuse to act, the food does not digest
—lies heavy, ferments, and repeats,
j There is pain, gas forms, bloating 00-
1 curs, the heart becomes irregular aud
a nervous, irritable feeling sots in.

"Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are

this. They cured me. I feel well in

THE JEWISH
NEW YEAR
The Jewish New Year will begin at
sunset. Friday,tlio 2!) th lust., anrl will
be celebrated the whole day Saturday
following. From the four corners of
tiie earth during this time the prayers
of the Jews will ascend,to the Throne
of Mercy, thanking the Giver of All
tor the blessings of life, health, peace
and prosperity enjoyed during the
past year aud imploring a continuance,
of the same blessings during the year
to come.
Through the courtesy of Rabbi Jo
seph Zeisler of the B'nai Zion Con
gregation the following interesting
data concerning the Jewish New Year
have beeu obtained. The services in the
synagogue here will be very impres
sive. They will begin at 7p. 111. on
Friday. At the morning service on
Saturday the trumpet will be blown
three times according to the Lord's
commandment. The trumpet allndrd to
is a ram's born, prepared in the Ho'v
Laud. Figuratively, the first blast i*
designed to awaken the sleepy from a
coudition of lethargy, as life here is
one of work in the gardens of charity
for the betterment of mankind ; the
second blast idealizes the preparation
necessary in undertaking noble nerds.
There is a slight difference in the
ritual of the so-called Orthodox aud
the Reformed Jews. The services
among the Reformed Jews are mostly
iu the language of the land where they
reside,the only exception being in the
case of old people and foreigners. The
minister of the Temple B'nai Zion,
here, Rabbi Zeisler, reads the liturgy
mostly iu English and makes it a rule
that in all evening services tiie soi
mon is in the vernacular, while at the
morning service the preaching is in
the German language.
The New Year, called "Rosh-Hash
onoh," is celebrated according to the
Bible on the first day of the seventh
month, Tishri, aud the Jews are com
manded to aougregate iu a holy con
vocation. Yom-Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, ocours on the 10th day of
Tishri and will be celebrated by the
Jews on the 9th of October
As iu the case of all Jewish holidays
Yooi Kippur begins with sunset oil
Sunday evening, October Btli, as ac
cording to the Scriptures the day be
gins with the evening.
Yom Kippur with the Jews is the
holiest of all holidays, and is kept as
a Sabbath of the Sabbaths, a day of
strict abstinence from all work and
earthly pleasures, a day of repentance
of public aud striot confession, a day
of forgiveness and good resolution for
the future. The striot followers of
the Bible deny their physical body all
food for 34 hours.
A part of the Yom Kippnr morning
service is the "memorial service,"
where for departed ones special pray
ers are said and their names mention
ed.
The final feature of the Yom Kippnr
service is the '*Neilali" or the con
cluding prayors, which promises to be
very solemn this year. Just before
the benediction is given we hear again
the sound of the trumpet called "Sho
far," which signifies the time to re
turn to earthly work.
The third and the last of the Holy
Days of the season is the Feast of the
Tabernacle, which is celebrated after
the harvest. The celebration of "Suc
cotli," which means a Tabernacle, be
gins on the 15th day of Tishri, or ou
the 14th day of October and continues
seven days.of which the first day only
is celebrated iu the church, tie re
maining days being d« voted to pleas
aut intercourse with friends and neigh
bors.

Spanish War Veterans.
Although more than a month is to
elapse beforo the reunion of the Span
ish-American War Veterans of the lSih
P. V. 1., at Sunbury. Saturday, Octo
ber 28, everything is getting into the
best of shape for the celebration.
Extensive plans are already being
made and the event promises to be one
of the most successful ever held. Dur
ing the afternoon, the soldier boys
will hold a business meeting iu the
Armory, electing officers and discuss
ing other topics concerning the As
sociation. Following this meeting
they will bo served with a supper in
the Market House, by the ladies of
Trinity Church.
The big meeting of the day will bo
held in the Court House in the even
ing to which the publio is cordially
invited. An elaborate program is be
iug prepared for the occasion.
A number of promineut State offici
als and high officers of the St*te Mil
itia have promised to bo present and
make addresses. Besides, regimental
officers will also be heard from.
The present officers of the Associa
tion are: President, Col. J. B. Cory
ell, of Philadelphia; Treasurer, Cap
taiu M. H. Taggart, of Sunbury; Sec
retary. ex-Captain Gunyon, of Sun
bury.
The Spanish war veterans made two
attempts to organize a camp iu Dan
ville, but on each occasion the plans
failed. Nearly all the Danville sur
vivors, however, are members of the
Association, holding a membership in
the camp at Sunbury or at Milton,and
will therefore be at Sunbury ou the
occasion of the big reunion. Those
who are not members are planning to
take the initiative iu the organization
of a camp at Danville, which will
probably become a fact bv the time of
the reunion.

RiCEPM TO
I.i 118. UOMER
The receptio for Mr. and Mrs. Lau
ma-ter, held m Y. M. O. A. Hall last
night to give < xpressiou to the high
appreciation i which these faithful
workers are In i and the regret that
is experienced now that the hoar of
part ng has c< ie was an event that
will long litij;< in the hearts and mem
ory of every [ rsou present. Seldom,
iudeed, is there an event in which ev
ery feature,every word spoken so keen
ly touch'd tin sympathies.
From 7 :'-'0 to 8 o'clock Mr. Lautuas
ter had before him the members of the
Thomas Beavei Boys' Bible Class, lit
tle fellows run ing in age from some
six years to ten or twelve years.
Mr. Laumasi r opened with prayer,
after which tin boys—some sixty in
number—sang heartily as is their wont
on such occasions. Mr. Laumaster
then gave a ch iracteristic address
quite within t e comprehension of the
little fellows, tie tried to impnss up
on their minds the importance of a
religious train ng and showed them
the advantagi s tlist they possess over
the children o; tii • very poor who live
in the great citiis. He explained to
them the clia ue that was about to
take place ami ex i ted cf iheni a prom
ise that they wo .Id be as zealous in
attendance ui d r the new General
Secretary as they had proven while lie
was in charge \s a parting verse he
gave them th • following passage from
Proverbs, 3-5: "Trust in the Lord
with all thy heart and lean not to thy
own understanding. " Tiie boys repeat
ed the verse utter which they were
■ iiciuisaed iiii benediction by Rev.
Dr. McCormack. As they filed out of
the room Mr. Liuimaster affectionate
ly took each little boy by the hand.
Miss M»y B io';s rendered a piano
solo,after which Miss Ammertuan sang
" Uud r South r.i Skies" with Miss
Hooks at tl e piano.
Mr Scaiht was then introduced
who spoke on bo.ialf of the committee
and the peep eof the community. His
remarks were in est touching—full of
sentiment and beauty. Addressing
Mr. and Mrs. Liumaster, who were
seated side by side ueat the front of
the hall, he toid them how much they
wen' l.ilovod in the community and
. what a hi*.!' estimate was placed up
on their work. The world is better
today than a thousand years ago, but
it is so only because of the kindly in
fluence of such men and wemen as
Mr. and Mrs. L »nuiaster—bee mse of
the goodness and the purity they had
inspired. Alter expressing the kind
est wishes fur them in what ever
plate their lot in the future might be
cast, he produced a small package,
which, on behalf of their friends in
the community he presented to Mr.
and Mrs. Lauin ister as a token of good
will ml good wishes. The bulk of
those present had no idea of the na
ture ot the gift—but for the benefit of
all tie statement is lieie made that
the gilt was a purse of gold.
The valual le token of esteem was
altogether unexpected by Mr. and
Mrs. Liumaster. Notwithstanding,
howevtr, thar he was taken so much
by surprise, Mr. Laumaster made a re
sponse that fitted the occasion to a
nicety, although revealing that his
heart was very full. He told how anx
ious both himself and wife ha 1 been
as to the result of their work—how it
had been their aim to do ju»t such
work as Mr. Scarlet had placed to
their credit. He said he was glad that
lie had come to Danville and that so
far as any plans are! formed at pres
ent theie is no likelihood of their
leaving soon. He thought they might
i be here a yepr, although in the prov
ideuce rt God they might In callod
to any field in six months or in one
month. He felt indebted to many
! sources for the measure of success
achieved— to the Board of Directors—
to the Ladie-i' Auxiliary, to the press,
which had gratuitously printed col
umn after column td help the good
work along. He concluded by mak
ing s I c practical suggestions as to
the future conduct of the work.
Rev. J. E. Hutchison spoke very
feelingly on behalf of the clergy and
the Ladies' Auxiliary.
Irviu Vannan rendered a solo:
"Swinging in the Grape Vine S* ing,"
Miss Books accompanying.
He was followed by Miss Luella
Werkhoi>er who rendered a solo, tverv
uicely with Miss Divel at the piano.
Iu conclusion everybody shook bauds
with Mr. and Mrs. Laumaster and a
general good time was hail fir anoth
