THE FESTIVAL
OF ALL SAINTS
Wednesday the 31 of this month will
bo celebrated in many parts of the un
iverse as Hallowe'en, the vigil of
Hallowmas or All Saints' Day.Though
sometimes neglected in modern prac
tice, the most essential part of the
Hallowe'en ritnal seems to consist in
the lighting by each household of
a bonfire or candles at nightfall. This
points to the very ancient and widely
diffused practice of kindling sacred
fires at certain seasons of the year as
practiced by the Germanic and Celtic
nations.
The feast of All Saints originated in
the year *>lo, when Pope Boniface IV
set apart a day for its observance.
November Ist ha-; for centuries been
recognized as All Saints' Day and its
observance is general throughout the
world.
Among the children Hallowe'en is
looked forward i > with pleasurable
anticipation, for on that night all tiie
pranks known to boyhood and girlhood
may be indulged in with impunity,
and fun and frolic hold full sway.
Bat the Hallowe'en pranks and tricks
are not confined to the 0110 night.
Even now, many day- distant from if,
the youngsters are indulging in var
ious kinds of amusement peculiar to
its celebration and door nights, bell
nights, chalk nights, gare nights and
others too numerous to mention are
being observed.
A Bright Essay on "Hoys."
The following essay on "Boys" was
submitted to a teacher of the Danville
public schools last week by one of the
little girl pupil- The little lady
strikes some thoughts that would be
a credit to an older mind :
"Boys are the worst thing imagin
able, espesaly when you live with
them, I do not, but 1 had enough of
them when my thiee boy cousins came
over to spend the summer with me.
"I have also heard that boys are
very daring they au-e their parent or
gautdian tun 'lt trouble ami sometimes
make them very axious.
"Boys also were out thier clothing
very soon.
"When bovs are ten or eleven years
old they start to smoke and then they
do think they are verv big when they
go putting along the street and when
they meet a girl they blow the smoke
in her face, at least some bays do.
"Before 1 started to school I had
a mother goose book and it said in
it that boy- were made of snatis and
snails and all other things like that
and I beleave that it is true.".
BEWARE OF THESE!
Some days ago a lady who was suf
fcring from In elaches at her home in
the city <>f Easton took two pill< that
had been left as "samples" some time
lieforc. An hour later <he lapsed into
ancousciousuess, and physicians who
were hastily summoned worked with
h«-r for several hours before tliev suc
ceeded in restoring her to (conscious
ness. Commenting upon this incident
the Ea-ton Free Press thinks the city
councils should pass an ordinance pro
hihiting the reckless distribution or
samples' * «.f medicine. While it ad
mits that grown people have been so
frequently warned that there is no rea
son why they should be victimized, it
holds that the chief danger is that
"the pills will fall into the hands of
little children, who, finding that they
are coated with sugar, think that they
are candy and eat them "
Killed at sunbury.
A very sad accident was that which
resulted 111 the death of Hannah Fcr
tig, aged is,of Sunbury, on Saturday.
Miss Fertig was returning from the
Susquehanna silk mills.where she was
employed, shortly after noon 011 Sat
urday and was walking between the
tracks of the Pennsylvania's Shainok
iu branch near Sixth street. She did
not hear the approaching train until
it was nearly njKiuJber,when, turning,
she stood transfixed to the spot until
the engine struck her ami hurled her
down the embankment.
The train stopped and took the in
jured girl to the station and from
there she was taken to the Marv M.
Packer hospital. She had sustained a
fractured skull at thejiase of the brain
and bruises and cuts all over her body.
Her case was hopeles- and she died at
2:30 o'clock yesterday morning.
IMPI PKNT SERVANTS.
A number of citizens of Hellertowu,
Northampton county, petiti .ned the
borough coin il to ena ' a curfew or
dinance. ('oiiii •iline i retorted that
"their duties were alicidv arduous
enough without having added t 1 them
that of raising children for parents."
Without inquiring as to the wisdom
or otherwise of a curfew law, it must
be said that those couuciluien were
impudent and disrespectful servants
of the people, and we hope their con
stituents will teach them a sound les
son in the alphabet of ordinary courtesy
when they again come tip for election.
Surprise Party.
I' Mr. and Mrs. James Long, Cooper
stieet, gave a party to a number of
young |ieople on Monday evening iu
liouor of the Hth birthday of their
daughter Ida. The little lady was the
recipient of a numb' r of presents.
Those present were Bertha Wray, Viola
Mottern, May Mottcrn, Helen Foust,
Emily Kelly. Eleanor Price, Ethel
Snyder, Gertrude Buckley, Eugene
YauKirk, Guy Long, Edward Long,
William Long, Luther Foust, Harold
Orr, George Orr, Larue Thomas, .loe
Wrav, Harry Snyder,William Buckley
and Edward Buckley.
THE HOME BUILDER.
The Shenandoah Herald prints some
proper sentiment- concerning the
home builder, declaring that "the
most settled citizen of any community
is the man who own- hi- owu home.
Home building is equival nt to nation
building. The foundation of the best
society is the hearthstone. Upon it is
erected the greatest glory of the
world's greatest achievements, it in
dicates stability, sturdy character and
honest worth "
WILL REPLACE
DEFECTIVE BRICKS
Contractor 1). J. Rogers, who put
down the brick paving on Mill street,
during the present autumn will proba
bly enter upon the important work of
replacing the defective brick, which
have become apparent in great num
bers in the comparatively short period
of time that the paving has been
down.
A word as to those defective brick.
There is much relating to them that
the public does not understand. That
they exist in great numbers apparent
ly out of all proportion to the good
ones, no one will deny. At the same
time both the borough and the con
tractor are amply protected and there
is nothing about the purchase of the
highly recommended "paving blocks"
to suggest a "gold brick" transac
tion.
The borough council selected the
brick. The contractor is responsible
for the condition of the street for a
period of two years,which will expire
next June. The company furnishing
the brick or paying blocks is under
bond to replace all defective ones for
a period of ten years.
The only thing that might invite
criticism is the fact that so many
bricks have shown up faulty. Along
many portions of the street there i.-
not a square yard of surface that does
not reveal broken or crumbling brick
and that, too, where no especial pres
sure has been brought to bear. The
council contracted for first-class brick.
If it got "seconds," while unfortun
ate enough, barring the trouble in
cidental to replacing broken brick,
the borough will be to no extent the
loser.
Contractor D J. Rogers appeared
before council at its last meeting and
stated that he is ready at any time to
overhaul the street.
The Writing on the Wall.
When Miss Ethel Swank, the attrac
tive supply teacher in the Hart man
school house, near Catawissa. went to
her work Monday morning she was
surprised to find the door of the school
house battered down, and laying in
split]tars at one side of the porch.
Her surprise turned to terror when
she entered the school house and found
written on the wall of the school room
these words: "Notice—lf #IOO is not
putin the pump house tonight the
beautiful school teacher will he miss
ing. "
The young lady knows of no one
who would do her harm nor can she
think of any reason why desperate
characters should select her for their
prey. The pump house is directly
across the road from the school house
and all last night men were on guard,
watching for any one who might conic
for the money. Miss Swank is acting
as a supply for George Sclmman, who
is ill with typhoid fever.
Surprise Party.
A number of friends were entertain
ed at the home of Mr. and Mr.-. Geo.
Relford, Riverside, Saturday evening

.Sent Brother to Asylum.
James Henesy, a Shamokin barber,
is at present an inmate of the Dan
ville hospital for the insane, and the
sad part of Henesy's plight is that lie
is there by a mistake.
Henesy, several days ago, was taken
with an attack of the dclerium trem
ens and was lodged in the Shamokin
lock-up until Saturday morning, when
lie was brought over to the hospital
at this place. On Saturday afternoon
his brother arrived at Shamokin to
take charge of him and was surprised
to learn of his whereabouts.
An investigation allowed Itiin that
his sister had signed the necessary
papers for the incarceration of the
brother. Shn vows most positively,
however,that she did not know where
her brother was to be taken. Mean
while an effort is heiug made .so secure
Heuosy's release.
Will (iive Cantata.
Preparations are well under way for
the presentation of the cantata, "The
Holy City"in Danville on Thanksgiv
ing evening in the Mahoning Presby
terian church under the auspices of
the Mahoning Presbyterian choir.
"The Holy City" is an elaborate
musical production, by Alfred H.
(iaul, that will require long and most
careful practice to present it. The can
tata was to have been given last spring
hut had to lie postponed on account of
warm weather coming on. The prac
tices at that time serve I. however, to
acquaint the chorus with the score.
The chorus numbers about sixty
voices.
Will Carleton.
Will Carleton,one of the best attrac
tions on the American platform, will
appear in the First Haptist church,
Thursday, November Ist. Heretofore
Mr Carleton has been beyond the
reach of Danville, but hv a fortunate
arrangement he has been secured for
this occasion.

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangeruti; for
Danville People to Neglect.
The great danegr of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined.Backache,head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow
in merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain anil safe remedy. Dean's
Kidney Pills.
Henry Collins, moulder, of 4-13 N.
•sth St.. Blooinsburg, Pa., says:"For
years I suffered with kidney com
plaint, backache and bladder weak
ness. 1 used all kinds of remedies but
uone of them seemed to have any
beneficial effect. The secretions from
the kidneys gave me constant annoy
ance 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. 1 saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in the
papers and very highly recommended
by people that I knew. 1 obtained a
box aud used them asdirectel. 1 never
had anything net as promptly in my
life. The? first box cured me of the
pain and weakness. 1 kept on taking
the remedy until 1 had used four boxes
when the bladder weakness left me. I
have had no trouble with kidney secre
tions for at h ast two years. 1 consider
Doan's Kidney Pills worth their

A SAD PHASE.
Hazleton's cow fining ordinance has
j its sombre side also. The Hazleton
Daily Standard notes that among the
nine cows recently impounded under
tbe new ordinance two were the prop
erty of a poor widow who was com
pel led to hand over •*! before she was
given possession. And yet the law is
just and right. It might have been a
good thing for some local philanthro
pist to have helped the widow pay that
fine, but the city couldn't remit it.
If an article is imitated, the original
is always best. Think it over, and
when you goto buy that box of salve ,
to keep around the house get DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve It is the original
and the name is stamped ou every box.

IBS. (MPIELL'S
BID ACCIDENT
Mrs. Ciarence Campbell of near
Rushtowu met with a most unfortun
ate accident while in this city Satur
day, as the result of which she will
be unable to move about except with
the aid of crutches for many months
to come.
Mrs. Campbell, along with her hus
band, drove into town Saturday morn
ing. She was doing some shopping and
was just coming out of the Globe
Warehouse when she slipped and fell
on the stone step, which was wet and
slippery as the result of the recent
rain.
Oddly enough the accident was of
the rare sort sustained by our towns
man, Frank G. Schoeh, at the Wel
liver hardware building about a mouth
ago. Mrs Campbell's left ankle was
dislocated and as the foot was turned
over the strain was so great on the
tough hand of tissue uniting the
bones or forming the joint that it was
torn loose from the fibula or outer bone
of the lower limb. As the ligaments
were torn loose they carried with them
pieces of the bone itself, which will
have to be held firmly in place until
they grow fast, in addition to the dis
location, therefore, it will be seen
that the injury is essentially a frac
ture or worse.
Mrs. Campbell was carried into the
Globe store, where Dr. Patten was
called The dislocation was- reduced
and the injury was temporarily band
aged, after which Mrs. Campbell was
removed to her home. Sunday the
bono was set aud bandaged by Dr.
Patten. Such injuries are regarded as
more serious than a common fracture
and it will no doubt he six months he
fore the woman will be able to get
along without the aid of crutches.
A Prohibitionist Attracts Crowds.
A little variety was thrown into
affairs on Mill street Saturday night
by the appearance of a Prohibition
speaker, who employed very practical
and effective methods <;f attracting a
crowd.
The speaker was Rev. Vernon Har
ington, of Valparaiso, lud , who, ac
companied by his wife, arrived in
town during the day During the af
ternoon a bov < ari \ ing a banner invit
ed the crowds to meet at Mill and
Bloom streets iu the evening where
they would be entertained with songs
and the like
At the appointed time one of the
biggest crowds that ever assembled at
Mill and Bloom streets v.:is ou hand
and so were the entertainers—Re,-.
Vernon llarington and his wife. For
all around entertainment the occasion
was never surpassed. The speaker him
self was a first d iss linger and all the
selections were airy and catchy, just
the kind to attract people in passing.
The lady rendered a couple of recita
tions with exceptionally good effect.
The prohibition address itself, al
though interrupted at intervals by the
singing, etc., was one of the spright
liest and probably one of the best ever
delivered in Danvilie and proved quite
us entertaining to the crowd as the
other features An audience of several
hundred people was present during
the evening.
When a horse is so overworked it lies
down and in other ways declares its
inability togo further,you would con
sider it criminal to use force. Many a
man of humane impulses, who would
not willingly harm a kitten, is guilty
of cruelty where his own stomach is
concerned. Overdriven, overworked,
when what it needs is something that
will digest the food eaten and help the
stomach to recuperate. Something like

Using Poles for Advertising.
Parties, it seeuis, have revived the
practice of posting notices and biils of
the smaller sort on telephone, telegraph
and other poles, which, as all should
know,by this time, is against the law.
There was a time when the practice
was indulged in pretty extensively,
flaunting paper ol all sorts often half
torn lose, and the streets presented a
most uncouth and objectionable ap
pearance. After the law was carried
into force and advertisements of all
sorts were kept from the poles the
streets presented altogether a different
aspect. " It is with regret therefore,
that a growing disposition to defy
authority and to tack advertisements
onto the polos is noticed among the
people. All classes of polos are being
defaced in this way, borough as well
as telegraph and telephone poles.
Among other things electioneering
cards are tacked onto many of the
poles, but these along with other ad
vertisements will have to come down,
for the chief-of-police is on the trail.
Official liallot Mas Arrived.
The official ballot was received at
the office of tin county commissioners
yesterday 1:1 irniiig ami is now ready
for tbe ter. Tbe ballot in size and
composition does not differ materially
j from the semi-official ballot, which
was sent to the commissioners' office
a week or so ago to assist them in
making contracts with the printer.
The "City party" and the Jefferson
party" are both omitted from the re
vised ballot. In the square that was
occupied by the former is the ' Judici
al Reform party" and instead of
1 "Jefferson party" we have "Majority
Rule."
But one candidate appears under
each of the now parties added. Hon.
Grant 1 birring for judge of this dis
trict is running under "Judicial Re
form" and John G. Ifarman,candidate
for the same office, appears under
"Majority Rule".

MONTOUR RIDGE
RESPLENDENT
Within a few days past the landscape
has blossomed forth into fairyland
The hues of crimson, ami gold clothe
grove and mountain side and the
streets of town where shade abounds he
come long vistas overarched with
autumnal glory.
Montour Ridge never appeared more
resplendent. Here are seen all the rare
warm colors of the American forest at
autumn,among which appear in pleas
ing contrast the emerald hues of the
spruce aud pine. It is a picture that is
repeated over and over, wherever the
mountains bear aloft their dense robe
of foliage aud the valleys sleep under
the shade of grove aud forest.
™ This is the time to travel abroad —
to take long journeys, or, if time and
means wi'l not permit, to make little
excursions into the country—if we
would fall under the spell of earth's
greatest charm and realize how tins
old planet at times can hide its dross
and ugliness and lift its plodding mass
of humanity into realms akin to dream
land.
The glory that earth has taken ou
will be short-lived. The leaves, crim
son and gold today, will he russet to
morrow, or next week. During the
cold rains of early November they
will be torn from the branches and be
driven before the merciless blast into
the lonely aud by places of earth, while
the stately trees now clothed with
autumnal loveliness, will stand like
spectres with their naked branches out
lined against the leaden winter sky.

doubtedly they are among the most

for divorce in Mercer county not less
than a dozen having been brought at

clerk of the court of enough money to
cover all the expenses of the case will
probably have a tendency to diminish
the number of applications.
