Rabbi .Jox'ph Zeisler, of the B'nai
Zion t 'oiigregation, has teuilered his
resignation which has lieen accepted.
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:

Appealing to Dr. Dixon.
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.

Missinjj Boy Causes Alarm.
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.

and this morning will be sent to Fort
Slocum, N. Y.
There are still plenty of applicants
but enlistments take place slowly. In
all only four have been accepted into
the service since tho recuiting office
was opened in Danville. Corporal
Cohen yesterday stated that, allowing
for 70 per cent, rejections, live enlist
ments a month is considered about the
limit for a town of our populat iou.
William F. Leafey and Michael J.
Leafey.of this city, also wanted to en
list but they fell a trifle short in
weight. Their case was held under ad
visement for several days.
Each of the recruits, as soon as en
listed, are vaccinated so as to bo im

learned how to modify the treatment
so as secure the desired result with a

WORK BEGUN
ON "A" STREET.
"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.

NEGLECTING THE RULES.
(Cyclers on Mill street, mostly boys
and girls, are altogether too reckless.
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

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."

disorders. Sold on Guarantee by Panles

The frog Season.
The season for frog hunting will
open on the Ist of July, and the frog
hunters are making arrangements for
the summer's campaign. The frog as
an article of diet has become very
popular and many are caught to sup
ply the market. Some of the streams
in this section, afford excellent frog
fishing.
Death of Rev. John YV. Rue.
Rev. Dr. John W. line,pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church,of Waynes
boro, who went from Sunbury to that
appointment, died at o'clock Satnr
day night after an illness of seven
weeks. Ile was assigned to Waynes
boro by the'confereuce*in the spring
and was taken ill soon after moving
there.
Jumping on Trolley Cars.
Chief of-Police Miucemoyer is after
the boys who make it a practice of
.jumping onto the trolley cars as the\
pass through town. The practice has
become a great nuisance and sooner or
later there will he a serious accident.
Some of the boys who offend in this
way are quite smali. If the policemen
catch any of the boys t hey declare they
will make an example of them and im
prison them in the lock-up.

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.

CANDIDATES SCARCE.
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.

IMPROVSIEKTS 8K
S. 11. 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.

this city Saturday evening and is at
present at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. DeMott, West Mahoning street.
The aged veteran is looking exceed

would be that life at the soldiers' home
agrees with him. He is delighted to
get back to Danville. For many years

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.

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.

up a stone threw it at the snake. The
reptile turned upon him and he leaped

suit. He hurled another stone which
only served to greater enrage it. The
snake was finally dispatched with a
fence rail. It measured six feet seven .

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.
Perfect Cash Register.
J. B. Cleaver has just installed a
National cash register of the latest
and most improved type in his gener
al store, Mill street. Each clerk has
an individual drawer with a total add
er. Every possible safeguard is pro
vided and the register is so compre
hensive that it is almost impossible to
take in all its parts in a short study.
It is of oxidized metal on an antique
oak case. In addition to its i>erfectiou
it is a very handsome piece of store
furniture.
