The Rabbi has taken this step 011 ac count of the ill health of his wife that lie mav devote more time to her coin fort. Rabbi Zeisler is most popular not only with tlm members ot 11is con gregation hut also among nil the peo ple of Danville, who have came to know him. The letter from the trustees of the B'uai Zion congregation shows how deeply his people feel their loss: From the congregation B'uai Zion, ot Danville to tin- Rev. Joseph Zeisler.

The old canal, which is such a nuis ance ami a menace in Danville is also a dreadful annoyance to the people of Bloomsburg. At that place tlie citi zens have addressed a numerously sigu e«l jtetitiou to State Health Commis sions Dr. Samuel Dixon,representing that the abandoned canal by reason of the the stagnant water it contains,is a menace to public health and request ing that the State board of health take such steps as will immediately abate the nuisance. Danville has already api»ealed to the State Ixiard of health, not through a numerously signed petition, it is true, but through the local board of health, a medium which should be as effec tive. The response, however, was not of a sort to inspire much confidence among our citizens. Dr. Dixon, accepting the facts us presented merely stated that, if the canal was a nuisance, the owners should t>e obliged to abate it. Should they refuse to do so, Dr. (Dixon sug gested that the borough make such im provements as necessary and enter a lien u|«»n the canal property.The local authorities were not impressed with the practicability of this scheme and nothing was done in the premises. The situation at Bloonisburg is not nearly su had as at Danville, as the • •anal instead of intersecting the heart of 111«* town h< here merely affects the outlying portions. However, if the situation there calls for such prompt aud determined measures surely Dan ville can not afford to remain passive in the mutter. Nearly a year has elajis -111 since the matter was laid before the Siat<' hoard of health. It might l>e a good thing to take up the subject again Dr. Dixon might have some thing new to offer.

The residents of the second ward were much stirred up Monday morn ing over the disappearance of a ten year-old bov, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Buckley, who reside on Cooper street. The little fellow, whose name is William, disappeared on Sunday af ternoon and by Monday morning the parents were in a dreadful state of suspense. One story was to the effect that the boy was seen bathing in the river at a late hour, while another told of his crossing the river bridge during the evening. Whether tne hoy had drown ed, had left town or was detained from home in some other way, there was no way of telling and yesterday the fath er laid the matter before the chief of police. Officer Mincemoyer telephoned to Catawissa and Sunbury but the im mediate response was not encouraging. Later, however, Mr. Buckley manag ed to reach some relatives in Sunbury by 'phone and was overjoyed to learn that his boy was with them, safe and sound. The story that ho had been seen on the river bridge Sunday even ing proved true and the little fellow had walked all the way to Sunbury. Mr. Buckley went to Sunbury on the 12:10 train Monday and brought the boy along home. The sinoerest tribute that can lie paid to superiority is imitation.

"A" street of the borough, which, owing to lack of argeenieut, ever since the completion of the trolley, has lain in an unfinished state, is about to be fixed up precisely as called for by the plans and specifications. The Danville and Blooinsburg street railway com pany has now come to a perfect agree ment with all the property owners along the thorughfare ; work on the im provements has practically begun and it will be the matter of only a few weeks when the street will present al together a different appearance. The roadbed will have to raised about six inches along the greater part of the street but the principal feature of the improvements will be the con struction of double retaining walls on each side of the street. One of these retaining walls on each side will be constructed on the curb line and the other on the building line. Each is to be constructed of good-sized building stone, joints close, and to be laid in good cement mortar composed of two parts sand and one part cement. The retaining wall 011 curb line i- to begin 30 inches below the surface of the present road way: it is to be 24 inches thick, while the height of wall from top of foundation shall conform to grade line fixed and designated up on plan. The wall is to have a batter of two inches per foot. The retaining wall 011 the building line is to be sunk to a depth of thirty inches below the curb line grade ; it is to lie twenty-four inches thick con forming in height with lo! abutting 011 it. It is to have a batter of one inch per foot. The road bed, which is some six inches too low, will have to bo practic ally reconstructed. The material used will probably be crushed cinder. "A" street, which formerly possess ed a grade that was prohibitive in iis nature, since it has been cut down by the trolley company, has become one of the most frequently travelled streets in that part of town. When there taiuing walls and the new road bed are completed according to plans and specifications the borough will be ini meusely the gainer by reason of the trolley company selecting "A" street iu making up its route through the city. The improvements on "A" street will be carried forward by the trolley company itself unuer the supervision of General Manager W. R. Miller. The work of delivering material on the street began yesterday morning. To morrow morning work on the walls will l>egiu. Birthday Surprise Party.

They should be made to observe the rules and ring a bell to indicate their approach. Few condescend to give any warning, even if their wheels are equipped with bells, and to make the matter worse they give little atten tiou to the street before them. The pedestrian crossing the street really has a hard time of it. as it is frequ ently almost impossible to avoid the cyclers, who are generally looking around right and left and have 110 idea of what is in the street before them. NO TOBACCO IN JAIL It appears that the prisoners at the Norristown jail are not allowed tin use of tobacco, a cruel and unusual punishment, in our opinion, and there fore contrary to the constitution. The other day a former inmate who had promised to provide some of the for bidden article for his fellow unfortun ates was caught in tfie very act, hav ing thrown a package and broken a large window. The philanthropist is hack again in his old quarters, tobacco less himself. FOURTH ATTEMPT WAS SUCCESSFUL Mr Daniel Cooi>er, a resident of Northumberland, after three unsuc cessful attempts, instantly killed her self Saturday morning by shooting herself with a revolver. Mrs. Cooper lived with her husband at the Kessler house in Northumber laud. Mr. Cooper is employed in the Pennsylvania freight station at Sha inokin and was there when his wife tired the fatal shot. On Saturday morning Mrs. Cooper came down stairs from her room at tho hotel, between seven and eight o'clock and meeting Maggie Crothers asked her to walk along up tho Pennsylvania railroad track saying she wanted to try and find some keys which she had lost. During tho walk 'Mrs. Cooper appeared to be jolly and in a good humor. Returning to the hotel about nine o'clock, she went to her room ac companied by Miss Crothers. After talking for a few minutes she went to a boarder's room and secured a loaded revolver from a dress suit case. Con cealing the revolver she returned to her room and after locking the door turned and said to Miss Crothers, "I'm going to shoot myself." Miss Croth ers thought she was only fooling but pointing the revolver at herself Mrs. Cooper pulled the trigger. The first shot missed her body and she tired a second time. When the second shot missed she deliberately placed the muzzle of the revolver against her left breast, and exclaiming, "Dan, Dan, Dan," fired the third shot. Miss Crothers, who was almost frantic, rushed toward Mrs. Cooper saying, "For (rod's sake Cora,don't do that!" and Mrs. Copoer replied, "Go away, go awav," and foil forward to the floor. Dr. C. E. Rutter was summoned but Mrs. Coojior was dead w hen he arriv ed, the bullet having jieuetrated her heart. Mrs. Cooper had made three other attempts to take her own life. About ten days ago she waded into the river at Island park but found the water too cold and returned to shore. On Wed nesday of last week she tried to throw herself from the river bridge but was saved by her husband who had follow ed her. On Friday she attempted to hurl herself beneath a freight train in Sunbury but was prevented by some persons standing nearby. Before her marriage Mrs. Cooper was Miss Cora Adams and her parents reside near Lewisburg. Dixon I rges Prompt Attention. Just previous to Fourth of July last year State Health Commissioner Sam uel (i. Dixon through the public press of Pennsylvania called the attention of the people to the great danger of lock jaw (tetanus) from wounds of toy pistols and other explosives, and he urged the necessity of immediate med ical attendance in guch eases. That the warning was widely heeded was shown by the great reduction in the number of tetanus cases following I'ourtli of July accidents. Indeed there were reported only a few scattered cases throughout the whole State. Health Commissioner Dixon again sends out a warning message in an ticipation of tlie coming Fourth. "The germ which produces tetanus grows best buried in the flesh away from the air," says Dr. Dixon, "and this germ which is found in earth, in the dust and in horse stables, and sometimes suspended in the air in windy localities, lodges easily in the small, clean cut wound made for in stance bv the blank cartridge. "What I wish to impress upon every one, especially mothers, is the very great seriousness of these wounds if they are not promptly and properly treated by those with full knowledge of the subject. Early treatment by a physician will often prevent the de velopment of tetanus. Therefore, ':i doctor should be called at ouce to treat a penetrating wound even if slight, such ns powder or other explosives are apt to make. In case of prolonged de lay in ortaiuing the services of a phy sician a competent druggist or trained nurse might thoroughly wash the wound and apply hot antiseptics." Deadly Serpent Bites. are as common in India as are stomach and liver disorders with us. For the lat ter however there is a sure remedy: Electric Bitters; the great restorative medicine, of which S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C., says: "They restor ed my wife to perfect health, after years of suffering with dyspepsia and a chron ically torpid liver."

CMTJ BRIDGES TOO FOUL County Commissioners Leighow, Cook and Scchler, accompanied by Charles L. Polio, of the Columbia county board, on Saturday, went up to Pig Roaring creek to examine the joint county bridge there, which has been reported as in need of repairs in order to niaKe it safe and equal to the demands of present day traffic. The bridge at Roaring crook is a covered wooden structure and is in excellent condition, but like a good many other bridges in the county it was built before the day of traction engines, when a six-horse load was tho maximum load that it would he ex pected to carry. In the present day, with a dozen traction engines in Mon tour county alone, and corresponding numbers in surrounding territory, there is not a bridge or culvert of the older class but has to bo strengthened to carry these ponderous machines, which may weigh twelve tons or more. The county commissioners, after carefully looking over the Roaring creek bridge, decided that the struct ure could be rendered safe and dur able and be made to carry fifty tons, if necessary,l>y placing three more sleep ers under the floor and in addition in serting four 2-inch iron rods on each side connecting the bottom stringer with tiie top of the arch. This plan will 1)0 adopted and the work of strengthening the bridge will bo enter ed upon without delay. Lawn Party at Yorks' Farm. A most enjoyable occasion was the lawn party given Saturday by several young ladies at Yorks' farm on the Bloom road. The place was prettily decorated for the occasion with flags and Japanese lanterns. Tea was served on the lawn and in the evening a marshmellow roast. In the party were : Miss Agnes Reif snyder.of New York City; Miss Laura Essick, of Highland Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stees, of Bloomsbnrg ; Al bert Savage,of Sunbury; Paul Eyerly, Neal Chrisman, Pen Carpenter and William Fagley, of Ploonisburg; and from Danville, Mr. and Mrs. R V. j'Gearhart, the Misses Ruth ami Ava Gearhart, Misses Emma Gearhart, Mary Hollowav. and Ida Gallagher; Edward Shultz, George Youugnian, Then.

Thus far but few Republican citizens of Schuylkill county have announced themselves as candidates for office this year. The Taniaqua Courier inclines to tlie opinion that tho corrupt prac tices act placed oil the statute book at the extra session of the legislature lias acted as a detriment. Candidates are not exactly familiar with the pro visions and do not know just how far togo in the matter of expenditures and still be within the meaning of the act. The same law is creating somV apprehension in Luzerne county, we are told, and some of the rival aspir ants are charged with hiring detectives to watch each other. There is a gen eral conviction,however, that the law was needed and will do good. Children's Day Exercises.

I ». DIVISION While the laying of a double track along the S. 11. it W. railroad said to have been in view years ago,has not as yet been accomplished, it is neverthe less true that very extended improve ments are on foot or are contemplated along that division. The S. 11. & W. division lias exten sive sidings,which are being extended from time to time with the result that it will not be very long until there will bo practically a double track much of the way between South Dan ville and Sunbury. Work at present is in progress extending the already long siding that reaches from South Danville westward. The ground ex cavated is hauled up to Plue hill and dumped over the bank there for the purpose of widening and strengthen ing the road bed preparatory to im provements at that point. Different farmers along the division have been approached by representa tives of the company to see on what terms land could be bought for pur pose of laying additional track, straightening out curves, etc. Exten sive improvements of this sort, it ap pears, the company has in view above Poyd's station. A proposition has been made to Amos Yastine looking to the purchase of some live acres of land in cluding his tenent house near the rail road. If enabled to carry out their plans at this point not only will the curve in tlie track be abolished, but the wagon road between the railroad and the riv er, will be removed above tlie lail road. When it is considered that the land wanted for such improvements constitutes the most valuable part of the farms intersected it will readily be seen that the cost of the ground will be a heavy item. Some of the farmers fix the damages as high as two thou sand dollars. TO-OURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take LAXATIVE BIIOMO Quinine Tablets. Druggists refund money if it fails to cure. K. W.

New York, on receipt of 50 cents. PAINTING THE COMPANY HOUSES The Reading iron company lias en tered 11 j»«hi :i general overhauling and painting of its tenement houses in the borough. These dwellings number some one hundred and fifty and occupy Montour row, Hank and Sycamore street, large portions of Northumber land and Mill streets, ('hambcrs and First, Second and Third streets, of Welsh Hill and West Centre street. The amount of work involved is con siderable while the improvement, af fecting such a large portion of the borough, is one whose importance is not to be lightly estimated. There probably never was a time when the Heading iron company did not find regular work on the company houses for a few carpenters, making such repairs as were necessary to pre serve the buildings and make them comfortable for the occupants. The re pairs in the present instance are more general and systematic, the carpenters making a clean sweep as they proceed. Each building receives its quota of re pairs. The weather boards where at all decayed are being torn off and re placed with new; the porticos,or what passes as such at many places receive new floor and side benches, while un der the building itself where the un der pining has given away a new foundation of brick is built up. Repairs as above described have been made 011 Centre street taking in both sides and along at least one half of Montour row. The buildings, which had weathered the storm of some fifty years had begun to assume an air of general dilapidation and are much im proved by the general repairs. Here and there it has been necessary to prac ticaly re-weather board the buildings on one side or another. The company houses, as they are generally known, have always been unpainted, so that what is really the most marked feature of the present improvement is the coat of blood red paint that is being applied. Four houses at the southern end of Montour row are already finished. No attempt at effect or decoration is made what ever and the paint,merely intended to preserve the wood, is applied by Eu gene Kinu, who recently completed a contract for painting the smoke stacks at the Heading iron company's works. Mi*. KinnJMonday stated that he lias ! a contract for painting all the com pany houses, and although assisted by four men, he does not expQct to com plete the work before winter. Mr. Kinn has a contract for the glazing also, which is a branch of the im provements which will occupy a great deal of time. Entertained nt Kipps Run.

Hartt. Libel on the Locust. Prof. H. A. Saurface, the State bugologist ridicules the stories print ed to the effect that the locusts are dangerous and sting people. "The locusts," said he, "are harmless ex cepting that they make a very slight sting which is not at.' all daugeious. The stories recently printed that swarms of locusts have ciiased people and stung them so badly that they had to have medical attendance are silly, for a locrst never does any tiling of the kind." The Editor Appreciated. At a recent editorial convention a minister offered the following toasr: "To save an editor from starvation, take his paper and pay for it prompt ly. To save hiiu from bankruptcy,ad vertise in his paper liberally. To save liiin from despair,send him every item ofjnews of which you can get hold. To save him from profanity, write plainly 011 one side of the sheet and send in your contribution as early as possible. To save him from mistakes, bury him. Dead people are the only ones who never make mistakes." POOR SHAD SEASON. The shad season in Pennsylvania came to a conclusion 011 Wednesday. It is the universal testimony of the newspapers published along the Sus quehanna that the season was a fail ure, the catch being light and the profits invisible. Some of the editors are pessimistic enough to hint that this may bo the last shad seaons the State will ever see. Put there may be unexpected brightening up and the an nihilation of that impending dam at McCall Ferry. Fierce Fight With Black Snake.

SOTO* OF HE BATTLE FED A couple of very interesting souven irs of the civil war have been left at this office by John B. Sees, of West Hemlock township, who served in Company 1). 7th., Pennsylvania cav alry during tli great conflict. One of the 1 lociiiin 1 general orders No. i.-Mied at military division of the Mississippi, Macon, (la, April 23, I<S*ls, which contains the farewill ad dr. •>s ol f'.i ijatte r (Jeneral Hong; the other is a cop> ol the "Selma Union" a small newspiper printed by the sol diers at Seln ■, Ala, and which bears the date of April S, 1865. Mr Sees thinks it wonl I he difficult to find an other cop> either of the farewell ad dre-s or the little newspaper anywhere in this section of the country. General Long, who was seriously wounded in the engagement before Selma, was obliged to retire from ser vice. The farewell address is of iu terest as -how ng to what extent offic ers apprei iate the bravery of the en listed men. After commending them for their excellent lighting before Selma General Long concludes: "Hav ing naturally no love for war and if it should be my fortune, as i hope it may be, never again to hear the fire of a gun in battle, I shall consider that it is honor ejiough to last me the re mainder of my life to have had the honor to command you on that oc casion". The "Selma Union" is printed on one side of a small lieet eight by twelve inches. Its articles are well written and possess the true journal istic ring, while typographically the little newspaper is a creditable piece of work. Captain W. W Van Antwerp and Tlieo. T. Scribner were the edit ors. Following is one of liic news items: The Selma Arsenal was consumed by tire by order of the general cammaud ing 011 Thursday evening. It was a grand conflagration an : the bursting of the shells and the lurid flames to gether with the smoke that rose in varied colors presented a spectacle seldom to bo witnessed. We felt much more comfortable tliau when upon the field of battle those destructive pro jectiles were hurled at our heads. This arsenal was one of the main depend encies of the confederacy for uiuui tions of war.and many a shell or cart ridge manufactured there has caused the death of a Union soldier". A congratulatory order addressed to the officers and men printed in the Soldiers' newspaper shows that Selma, the most important city of the South west, was taken after a march of near ly three hundred miles,over bad roads, through a sterile and mountainous country, passing wide and rapid riv ers. The march occupied only 12 days. At the fall of Selma there fell iuto the bauds of the Union army along with two thousand prisoners,the naval foundry and machine shops, and the extensive arsenal,filled with a variety of military munitions.
