MONTOUR AMERIUAN <- RANK C. ANGLE. Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Feb. 22 1900 ELEVEN CAUSES FOR A DIVORCE WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 21. The suggestion of the Pennsylvania delegation regarding proper divorce laws were favorably reported, almost in their entirety, to the uniform div orce conference hare yesterday. It is recommended that no effort be made for the passage of a federal law, but that each state should be urged to ad opt restrictive legislation. A two years' residence is recommended as necessary beginning of a divorce action. It is urged that the grounds for div orce be specifically set forth in the laws and not left to the discretion of the court. Emphasis is laid upon the limiting of divorces to bona fide resi dents of states, with the aiui<to wipe out the so called "migratory" divor ces. The following eleven causes are rec ommended as covering all possible grounds for divorce : Impoteucy, con sanguinity or affinity, properly limit ed. ; fraud, force or coercion to compel matrimony ; insanity unknown to the other party, unfaithfulness, bigamy, conviction of felony with two years' continuous imprisonment, willful de sertion for two years, habitual drunk enness, intolerable cruelty ami the hopeless insanity of the husband. This latter cause was the sub*set of considerable debate, exception being taken to it because it limits the relief to the wife. Under such a law a man whose wife became insane could not divorce her, but would be compelled to spend his life_hopelessly tied to a helpless woman.

Sold by Paules & Co. To Retire From Ministry. It is announced that Rev. William A. Houck, pastor of the Mulberry Street Methodist church, of Willianisport, will retire from active work in tlie ministry with the close of the present Conference year. Failing health after many years of arduous and successful work for his Master compels his retirement from active work. Mr. Houck is uot an in valid, but he finds the work of the ministry much too trying for his phy sical strength. It is not known where he intends making his home in the future. Rev, Houck was formerly pastor of St. Paul's M. E. church this city. Don't deceive yourself. If you have indigestion take Kodol Dyspepsia Cure It will relieve you. Rev. W. E. Ho cutt, South Mills, N. C., says:"l was troubled with chronic indigestion for several years ; whatever I ate seemed to cause heartburn, sour stomach, flut tering of my heart and general depres sion of mind and body. My druggist recommended Kodol, and it has re lieved me. I can now eat anything and sleep soundly at night. Kodol digests what you eat. Sold by Paules & Co. Big Fire at Milton. A very serious fire occurred at Mil ton Tuesday night and only the heroic work of the members of the fire de partment prevented the destruction of a large amount of valuable property. About ten o'clock the fire was dis covered in the ware room of the Mil ton Manufacturing Company conduct ed by Shinier & Sou, which is located along the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany's tracks. A general alarm of fire was sounded and the fire laddies quick ly responded, but so rapidly did the flames spread that the fire was soon be yond all control and the firemen put forth all their energy in saving the near by buildings. Just how the fire originated is not known but when discovered almost the entire inside of the ware room was all ablaze and was soon a regular seething furnace. So fiercely did the fire rage that it was utterly impossible to save the large amount of valuable stock kept in the ware room and the build ing with its contents was entirely de stroyed. The fire continued to burn for three hours and although the other buildings composing the works were threatened at different times they were saved after considerable hard work. The loss of the building is estimat ed at $2500, covered bv SISOO insurance, while $25,000 wortli of stork was de stroyed, upon which there was $20,000 insurance. It is the consensus of opinion that sparks from a passing engine set fire to the building. Two box cars on a siding along side the building were also totally destroyed. MAGNIFICENT GIBSON DRAWING FRE„ A series of ten articles on peu and ink drawing, illustrated with pictures by Charles Dana Gibson, is the next announced feature of the Sunday North American. The articles prepared by experts, will be published in the body of the paper. The Gibson drawings which illust rate them will be issued in the form of spceial supplements. Each picture will be printed on fine heavy jwper, in half tone black on a delicate buff hack ground. Each drawing is 10 by 15 inches in size,and is ready for mint ing and framing. There will be ten articles,each carry ing a Gibson supplement to illustrate it. The first subject is "The Weaker Sex Under the Microscope." This picture shows Gibson at his best, and contains four heads of typical "Gibson girls." The demand for the Gibson pictures is certain to be unusually strong, and the reader who wants all the picture supplements and articles should sub scribe for ten weeks and secure them. The publishers report an advance de mand unequaled by that created by the announcement of any special feature BLIND EVAN GELIST COMING Rev Thomas Houston, "The Blind Evangelist." will conduct a series of meetings at the East End Mission be ginning next Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. He will also speak at the Mission at T :30 Sunday evening and each evening thereafter. Rev. Hous ton will preach at the Mahoning Pres byterian church Sunday morning. Following is a pen sketch of Rev. Thomas Houston written by Rev. Jaine- A. Miller, of Elmira, N. Y. : Rev. Thomas Houston, known as "The Blind Evangelist," was born in Scotland 44 years ago. An accident when a young man deprived him of his sight and led to his conversion. His first work a> a singer and speaker was in a year's tour of Australia. He came then to New York and entered the Union Theological Seminary.serv ing as pastor at the same time in the John Knox Memorial church of Jersey City, built for hint. His surpassing power as an evangelist,and the invita tions that came to him, soon compell ed him to give his whole time to evan gelistic work. He has given most of his time for several years to the evan gelistic committee of the Presbyterian church,having been a leader for sever al years in the tent work of Philadel phia, Chicago and New York. He was asked last year by Rev. J. Wilbur Chap man, I). 1>..t0 become one of his baud of evangelists for tlie great campaign on the Pacific coast, but felt compell ed by his blindness to decline. He was one of Dr. Chapman's evangelists last fall in the Patterson and Jersey City campaigns. He stands today among the first ten greatest evangelists of the United States. Mr. Houston is remarkablv equip ped by nature for leadership. He has a power for impersonation hard to bo excelled especially in rendering choice bits of Scotch dialect. His voice is marvelously rich and resonant. His sermons are intellectual treats,lighted up by touching bits of pathos and flashes of humor. At times he breaks into song. He sings baritone solos with cultured feeling and power, and himself leads the congregational sing ing with a vim and heartiness that is contagious. His reading of the scrip tures is from the Bible of the blind. His blindness, instead of crippling him,but makes him the more effective evangelist. His home is in Elizabeth, N. J., where he has a wife and four children whom he hrfs never seen. Mr. Houston conducted last winter a series of meetings in Elmira. Though held iu one of the smallest churches, so strong was he.and attractive, and sane in his methods, that his work at tracted the attention of the whole city. I t was necessary,for the closing meet ing. to move out to a church seating 1,600, and this was crowded to stand ing room and mauy turned away. He is ranked there by all who shared iu his work,and shared also in Dr. Chap man's work in Elmira, as the equal of Dr. Chapman iu charm and power and wisdom as an evangelist.

A fresh outbreak of workingnien is i threatened here because of the in ability of many laborers to obtain food. Fully 40,(KM) men who are with ! out work are starving, and as all the [ establishments for the free distribu ; tion of food are closed, the situation, s especially in the suburbs,is appalling. ■ Scurvy and typhus are rampant. Advices from Riga state that Gen eral Orloff, who is in charge of the forces sent to quell the outbreaks in i the Baltic provinces, has shot over 700 • alleged revolutionists. It is estimated • that not over 250 of the persons ex • ecuted really participated in the rebel lion. of the remaining victims, many were women. Uue eighteen-years'-old girl was shot because she was sewing on a red flag. Genreal Orloff has bom ) barded tiie headquarters of the temper ance organizations,declaring that total abstinence is synonymous with revolu ■ tion. He demolished with artillery i several scientific laboratories. A dispatch from Tiflis says that an invasion by Tartars is expected mom entarily.

I Resident* of Danvilie Cannot Doubt What s fla.s Been Twice Proved. t In gratitude for complete relief from i aches and pains of had backs—from , distressing kidney ills—thousands have publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents of Danville, whoso testified years ago,now say their cures were permanent. This testimony doub ( ly proves the worth of Doan's Kidney Fills to Danville kidney sufferers. David B. .Tones,printer,of 401 Church i street, says:"l think very highly of Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me of an enervating backache and lamc -1 ness across the small of my back. This trouble commenced with sharp twinges just over my hips and later 1 had con siderable pain all over my back even extending to the top of the head, in fact, I never knew where the pain would strike me next. I saw Doan's Kidney Kills highly recommended and procured a box at a drug store,. It only required a short time to show that they were helping me, and after tak ing the treatment for a time the trou ble left me entirely and I have had no return of it for years. I made a state ment to that effect in 1896 and that statement stands as good today as it did then." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

THE R().\D QUESTION, ij Mahoning township was the only one Jin the county that did not vote down | the proposition to abolish the work l i tax. Whether the result of the vote in I ' the other districts is to be deplore.l or | otherwise it is gratifying that there ; will at least be one opportunity for ; experiment. All eyes, therefore will be on Malumiug township to see how ) the new provision works. The taxpay ers there have confidence in the new order of things as shown by the con j siderable majority by which the work [ j tax was abolished. • j The supervisors-elect in the various I i townships under the new law will [ ' meet for organization on the first Mon ! day in March at which time they will levy a tax and divide the township up j into road districts with not less than , five miles of road in each district. For j each of these districts the supervisors , will employ a roadmaster, whose duty it shall be to work upon the road him- j , self and see to it that the roads of the ! , district are cared for according to j specifications. Under the new law each j - of the townships will need several road ; masters and just who shall be selected • for these new and untried positions is' ; a question on which the supervisors-1 ) elect are thirl.ing very deeply at pres- . ent. 51 Several farmers in this city yester- j , i day hailing from townships, that vot-j ed down the proposition to abolish the j ; work tax, (hiring an interview aired their views on the subject very fully. I ; They did not dispute that the proposi-1 3 tion to pav the road tax in money j > thereby i uder the provision making 3 every dol ir worth £1.15 to the town ; ship mig» t prove beneficial to the whole body of taxpayers, but they in- j clined to the view that it would prove ( detrimental to tenant farmers, who can much more profitably work out . their road tax than pay the same in i cash. FACING A BREAKUP. ' P. J. Keefer, Superintendent of the Water Works,yesterday stated that the • river is unusually low for this season of the year. The ice, he said, is some • ten inches thick. Should a break-up i occur without a sufficient rise in the "> river to carry off the ice some damage might ensue from high water backing i up from the creek's mouth as the re -1 suit of a jam at the bend of the river. All this, however, is very remote and 5 Mr. Keefer merely mentions the cir -1 cumstance. No More Funeral Sermons. I Rev. Father Connelly pastor of St. Gabriel's church Hazleton, informed 3 the members of his congregation that i funeral sermons would be dispensed with in the future. 1 This was a custom that had crept 5 into the church and had been carried • to extremes. I People who lived good lives,he said, did not require any eulogy over their biers. : ALL WE ASK IS A TRIAL We know what your decision will be and . you. with thousands of others, will airreethat l'-7.erta Jelly is superior in flavor, clearness I and delicacy to any jelly dessert you ever | used.
