SOOTH SHIS DEMAND RELIEF The approach to the bridge oil the south side,although a thread bare sub ject, with the advent of winter has be come such a nuisance that to avoid mention of conditions ttiat exist there now would be to ignore the claims of the people who are iucouveuieuoed by the muddy, illy constructed and dan gerous roadway. The approach from the end of the bridge to the railroad crossing is one slough of mire, which near J. H. Kase's store. where a sort of a basiu is form ed,has assumed a liquid state and flows over the trolley track toward Peter Burger's residence Already the bridge from one end to the other is covered with a coat of mud deposited there oy the wheels of vehicles that have ploughed through tiie deep mud on the approach. Conditions being as they are already' the imagination can only picture what the approach will be like by next spring. Residents of the south side as well as the traveling public, who are brought directly in contact with the slough of mud, which is dignified by the name of approach,are crying out loudly for relief in some foim. Several south siders who aired their views Tuesday stated that they look ed to the county commissioners of Montour to take the initiative in some plan that will at least bring temporary relief. It was suggested that if the two counties would furnish limestone su Hi cieut teams could be procured on the gouth side to do the hauling gratis for the sake of the improved conditions. The south siders can not see why the couuty commissioners do not pro ceed to build the section of retaining wall ou each side which devolves up on the two counties jointly and con cerning which there is no dispute,leav ing the rest of the proposition to lie fought out between Northumberland county, Gearhart township and the Danville and Suubnry electric rail way company. If this were done, they say, the approach as far as the walls were but could be constructed iu a propeil manner, which would relieve the sit uation a great deal. A member of the Montour county board of commissioners was interview ed later,who explained why the prop osition to build the short sections of retaining walls devolving on the two counties would not be considered at present. When these walls aro built the idea is to make them conform with the main retaining walls, which remain to be planned; otherwise with the massive wingwalls there will be three sections of walls each unlike the oth er. The county commissioner stated that the local board in order to bring relief will endeavor to interest the Northumberland county board and the result will probably be that limestone will be procured and placed on the approach to obviate the mud nuisance during the winter. The commissioners will also have the driveway of the bridge scraped and the mud removed before freezing sets in. Appointed Lecturer. M. S. Bond, the Ohulaskey truck man, and scientific farmer is enrolled again this year among the speakers foi the farmers' institutes to be held throughout the State.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED ON RAIL Au unkuowu man, with his head crushed ami his body mutilated, was fouud along the Pennsylvania railroad tracks, a short distance above North umberland. on Sunday morning. And throughout rhe driving storm of .Sun day morning the mangled form lay there, while curious spectators gazed at it,but hesitated to remove it before the corner arrived ro hold the inquest. On Saturday afternoon a man, who gave his name as Brown, was in Sun bury. Several boys who conversed with him,and who later identified his body, say that lie was intoxicated. The man was last seen alive in Northumberland 011 Saturday evening. It is known that he slept the previous night in an asli pit at the nail mill at that place. These are practically the only facts known. The badge lie wore was of the Bing hanitou fire department. No papers were found on his person. Coroner Dreher went to Northum berland Monday morning, but de cided that an inquest was unnecessary. The body had been taken to Under taker E. K. Bright's parlors where it is held for identification. Meanwhile telegrnms have been sent to Binghaui ton making inquiries as to the dead man's home and relatives. Will Ask for Appropriations. State insane hospitals in Pennsyl vania will ask the next legislature for an aggregate appropriation of several million dollars for the erection of new buildings to relieve the overcrowded condition of these institutions. The State asylum iuHarrisburg will ask for #400,000 for new buildings and additional laud,and it is expected sim ilar sums will be asked for by the hos pitals at Danville, Warren, Norris town, Wernersville, Spring City and Alleutown. The State board of charities is now holding its biennial sittings for the purpose of hearing the applications of the various public aud private institu tions for appropriations by the next legislature. The board was in session in Harrihburg three days last week for this purpose and will meet in Pitts burg during the coming week. After all the applications have been heard the board will prepare a report for the information of the appropria tions committee of* the house of rep resentatives at the next session. This report will bo printed and ready for members of the legislature and the goveruor at the opening of the legisla tive session. Applications of the insaue hospitals are being scheduled by Judge Isaac Johnson, of Media, member ot the State board of charities, aud will not be made public until the report is ready for the governor.—Philadelphia North American Where New Law is Defective. The following discussion of the new primarv election law from the Phila delphia Press contains a number of in teresting points: | There does not appear to be much doubt about the intention of the act regarding the nomination of borough aud township officers. A provision in Section 2 declares that nothing con tained in the act shall prevent the nomination of candidates for borough or township officos.or other offices not specifically enumerated in the act, in the mauner provided by existing laws. That is plainly a local option provis ion. If a borough or township wants to nominate its local candidates under [ the uniform primary system it can do i so; il it does not want to it can make j the nominations by the old methods, i This is the view taken by the secretary of the Commonwealth. In a letter to the clerk of the Washington county commissioners he says,"the act ap plies to all election districts in the State, but if for any reason any bor oughs or townships prefer making their nominations as at present they may do so". The law is defective in that it does not designate any authority to deter mine whether a borough or township shall make nominations under the new law or the old one. Who shall decide that? The county commissioners can not, certainly. Can it be done by one party organization in the borough or township where all the other party organizations may be opposed to That would cause difficulties aud prob ably confusion, for while one party would In Irdding primaries one way (another would l<c doing .something i t s-e. There is absolutely 110 single authority under the law which can decide this matter. l'lie most sensible tiling the county commission"!.« ran lio is io iollow the advice <>t tin■ State department and he prepued for primary elections under j the new law in all districts It is quite certain all boroughs aud townships will come to it in time. If there were no other reason it will be done on ac count of the cost. The expeuses of the primaries under the new law are, paid by the State; if they were held under the old law as may be done if so de sired, each party will have to pay the expenses of its own primaries, as here tofore. No doubt it will be preferred that the State put up the money. The controversy now going on,how ever, makes if evident that the pro vision about borough and township candidates must come out of the act, or bo amended so as to designate some authority to decide when the act shall apply. fiach Shot a Deer. William Hendricks, Front street, who with Charles Grim. Kailroad street, returned Monday evening, from a hunting excursion iu Centre county called at this office yesterday and gave an account of their success. Mr. Hend ricks and Mr. Grim each shot a deer, the former a doe weighing 110 pounds, and the latter a five-prong buck weigh ing 305 pounds. Both deer were shot in Brnsh valley narrows, eight miles from Mifflinburg. The doe was ship ped to Danville hut the buck was cut up in camp and distributed among the hunters. Mr. Hendricks says that the deer are very numerous m Centre county. Him self and Mr. Grim saw three during their trip. PETITION BEING KIIUTED A movement is on foot to subdivide the third warel of the borough of Dan ville making of the ward two voting districts instead of oue as has always existed heretofore. This measure has been advocated ow ing to the larj;e number of votes poll ed in the third ward, which imposes a heavy burden upon the election board there. Things were brought to a crisis at the last election when the count was not completed until 7 o'clock the next morning. In times of such sus pense voters do not liko the idea of waiting so long before the result is made known. Neither does the elec tion board relish wading through so many votes for a fixed remuneration, which is no more thau is received in districts where the vote is only one fourth as heavy or even less. A petition is being circulated among the citizens of the third ward,to which signers are readily obtained, asking that the voting district be divided for reasons above set forth. The petitioners pray the court to ap point three impartial men as commis sioners to inquire into the propriety of granting said division who shall proceed in the manner provided by act of assembly in that behalf, and who, or any two of whom, shall report to the next court of quarter sessions of the county together with their opin ion of the same. Hay Install Stone Crusher. E. S. Macdonald, who is in charge of the affairs of the John R. Bennett estate has a project on hand, which,if it pans out properly, may result in a new industry of some magnitude, that will employ our wage-earners and add a new and valuable material for road construction. On castle grove farms there is a vast eposit of a brown flinty rock, which upon being tested has been found to he apparently harder than limestone. Some of the rock has been used in re pairing Bloom road and it seems to answer the purpose better than any thing that has ever been used. Mr. Macdonald contemplates in-tall iug a stone crushing plant at castle grove and going into the stone busi ness on a very large scale. Yesterday lie sent specimens of the stone to Har risburg and Washington in order to get the views of the experts at those places as to the composition of the rock and to determine whether or not it possesses any qualities that would make it especially valuable in road construction. Meanwhile Mr. Mac donald is gathering information as tc the cosi of installing a crushing plant and the demand in this section foi I such material iu road construction. Will Call It Square. , Frank .J. Walker is one of our towns i men who raises chickens merely for i | pleasure and a pastime, but of late ; his good nature has been greatly im posed upon by certain unprincipled | vandals who daring the night, select the best of tthe fowls, takeaway wit! 1 them the major portion of the bird | and leave behind the head to remind "Chick" of his loss. I Now the kind of chickens that Mr. i Walker raises were never meant foi eating purposes, and are valued at i figure somewhat above the price of tin ordinary barn yard fowl. In fact Mr. Walker's chickens are game birds ol an expensive variety. Several week! ago three disappeared aud Saturday night two more followed. "Chick" isn't moved by a spirit ol meanness when he states now that In thinks the chicken thieves have takei their share from his coop, lie says, further, that he is willing that tin raiders be left alone with their loot.il in the future he is left alone with hit chickens. If, however, the depreda tious are continued Mr. Walker wil be after the lien suatchers with a "bit stick", aud if the thieves ax - e at all acquainted with the man who niake» the statement they will know that In will do just about as he says. Renting P. (). Boxes. A new wrinkle has been put into the post office regulations. The local office has received instructions from the postmaster general which read as fol lows : "Box rents must be collected at the beginning of each quarter for the en tire quarter, but no longer. Ten days before the last day of each quarter postmasters are required to place a bill bearing the date of the last day of the quarter in each routed box. II a box holder fails to renew his right to his box on or before the list day of a quarter the box shall then lie closed and offered for rent,and 'lie mail will be placed in the geueral delivery." RETALIATION. A singular controversy is brewing in Suubury. The railroad men of tfiat town claim that the merchants have instigated an order from headquarters against blocking crossings. The Broth erhood now intends to retaliate by starting a Brotuerhood store and tak ing their trade away from the local dealers. The trainmen claim that the order imposes hardships upon them by forcing them to uncouple and recouple cars more thau would ordinarily be required.

THE STATE'S GREAT LIFE-SAW WORK The State depaitmeut of health ton tiuues to save the lives of hundreds of poor children throughout Pennsylvania by the free distribution of antitoxin for diphtheria. This is jiiven out botli for curative purposes and for immuniz ing the other members of the house hold who have been exposed to the disease. DECREASE IN DEATH RATE. From October 10 to November 10, this month, clinical reports returned to the department by physicians for 478 cases treated with the State's free anitoxin recorded only 43 deatiis. This gives the very low deatli rate of eight per cent., au evidence of the splendid results Commissioner Dixon's free distribution of antitoxin among the poor is securing. Moreover, during that period of thirty days the cliuical reports that have come in thus far show that 418 persons were immuniz ed, in ottier words, vaccinated against the disease. Nearly all of these were little children who might have gone down with diphtheria but for the States' wise charity. The antitoxin division of the de partment of health acting through its five hundred distributing depots is kept especially busy at this time of the year for not only is this the season when diphtheria flourishes, but more and more antitoxin is being used, as its benefits are tried and approved. FEW ATTEMPTS AT IMPOSITION. The health commissioner is loud in his praise of the co-operation lie has received from the physicians of the State and the distributors. There have been few if any attempts to impose upon ttie free distribution of the anti toxin for the poor. The doctors of Pennsylvania, Dr. Dixon says, have shown themselves well worthy of the confidence placed in them. Ho also praises the faithful manner in which the distributors have performed their duty, aarrangiug to have their depots accessible to physicians at all hours. GOOD NEWS. Many Danville Readers Have Heard It and Profited Thereby. "Good news travels fast," and the thousands of bad back sufferers in Dan ville are glad to learn that prompt re lief is within their reach Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doau's Kidney Pills. Our c itizens are telling the good news of their exjierience with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here is an example worth reading: Miles Fry, carpenter, of 44."> West First St., Bloomsburg, says:"The statement I made in 1890 is about all 1 can say regarding my experience with Doau's Kidney Pills. I have not had any backache since I used them. Be fore taking this remedy 1 had chills in my back across the loius accom panied by a weakness and dull heavy pain in my head as well. I was also very mucti annoyed by too frequent ac tion of the kidney secretions. I used many remedies without relief until 1 learned of Doau's Kidney Pills and obtained a box.

Large delegations from Danville have been journeying to Harrisbur{> on the Saturday excursions. Last Sat urday five thousand people, from var ious parts of the State, were in the capital city. In commenting on the excursion a llarrisburg paper says: "Thay came on the penny-a-mile excursion, osten sibly to see the new capitol. During the day, however, it looked as if most of them had taken the opportunity tu turn the trip into a shopping tour." It is on account of this that the merchants of many of the smaller towns along the route to llarrisburg have been making complaints to the Pennsylvania company that the excur sions are greatly injuring their busi ness.

At present the law of Pennsylvania permits boys of 14 to work on the out side of the anthracite mines and boys of It! to work inside. In the bitumin ous region boys of 12 are allowed to work. Chief Roderick, of the State bureau of mines, * favors uniformity and thinks 14 would be a proper age. The Wilkes-Barre~Record doubts the wisdom of his suggestion, believing that the boy has rights which the State should guard and that a lad of 14 is not well enough educated tu leave school aud get down to his life work. It isn't fair to the boy. Under present circumstances, however, it does seem I that the State should either make a few carefully guarded exceptions or I else provide for the living of large families whose heads are dead or di.> abled. In Honor of Birthday. A few of the friends of Lewis Hed dens were very pleasantly entertained yesterday afternoon at the home of his parents, Mr. anil Mrs. I). B. Heddens, Mill street.

M APPEAL TO LITTLE MONTOUR The AMERICAN lias received a letter from John H. Landis, superiu teudent of the United States mint at Philadelphia, who aloug with Dr. C. Schaeffer, superintendent of public instruction, and other leading men of the Commonwealth, is an active mem ber of the Thaddeus Stevens Memorial association and is anxious that the friends of the common schools through out the State be familiarized with the objects and purposes of the Stevens memorial movement. Little Montour stands almost aloue as one of the conuties that lias as yet made no contribution to the fund. Mr. Landis would like to have the borough and county superinteudents and the principals of the various schools iu our county take up the matter, and promises to give such aid in the work as may he desired. He thinks during the county institute,which takes place the week after next,a fine opportunity would bo presented to get the school teachers interested in the Stevens me morial movement. The communication oucloses a letter from Dr. N. C. Schaeffer, State superintendent, who is president of the Thaddeus Stevens Memorial association. Dr. Schaeffer makes an appeal similar to Mr. Laudes and likewise invites correspondence promising to give all the aid lie can to help along the work in the various counties. Dr. Schaeffer says: "It is gratifying to state that the fund intended for this memorial, an industrial school for indigent orphan boys is generally growing. Mr. Stev ens' own money,bequeathed under his will, amounts to about SBO,OOO. The State of Pennsylvania has appropriat ed $.10,000. The public schools and friends of education in the State have contributed about .SIO,OOO, and from reports received from nearly all the counties we have reason to believe that the latter figure will be very ma terially increased in the near future. We urge upon our friends the push ing forward of this work as speedily as possible. All contributions must be entirely voluntary. We want none oth er. Each county, city or town, must decide what plan to adopt to raise money for this work. Superintendent and directors inu<t fix a day on which contributions can be received iu the schools; entertainments can be gotten up; festivals or sociables can be held for the purpose, etc." Thaddeus Stevens is regarded as the great champion of the free school svs tern.

It was about ten o'clock. .Justice of the Peace W. V. Oglesby had gone hon.e and his office was closed for the night. He was called out. aud respondiug found James V. Gillaspy, the well known hotel keeper, waiting for him The latter desired to lodge informa tion against Clarence F. Blue, charg ing him with making threats. Form ality was quickly complied with and on the strength of the informal ion a warrant was issued for Mr. Blue's ar rest, which was placed in the hands of Chief Mincemoyer, who, accompanied by Officer Voris, started out to make the arrest. According to Mr. Gillaspy's story he was on his way to the barber shop about 9:30 o'clock, Saturday evening, when he was accosted by Mr. Blue, who threatened to kill him and also his son. These threats, it was alleg ed, followed a similar outburst by Mr. Blue at Gillaspy's hotel during the forenoon and the complainant, in the information,alleged that hewasafraid of bodily harm. Indue time the officers appeared with the defendaut, who during the hearing, which followed, strenuously denied that he had threatened to kill Mr. Gillaspy and his son.

As relates to the counties, however, it is different and there the uniform primary act applies in all its provis ions. The county officers to be elect ed next year will all be nominated un der the new primary election law. In the case of the boroughs, wards and townships, it will no doubt prove a relief to the candidates to be assur ed that instead of petitioning the county commissioners for a place on 1 the ticket in a few weeks they can safely leave their candidacy in the hands of their friends to be fought out at the primaries as heretofore. Commissioners' Clerk Horace C. Blue was one of the lirst hereabout to discover that boroughs and townships are seemingly not included in provis ions of the uniform primary act. He placed himself iu communication with ilie board of commissioners of neigh boring counties and found that several of these had placed the same construc tion upon the act that he had. In Ly coming county for the spring election the uniform primary act will go into force in Williamsport,which is a city, but elsewhere in the couuty, in the boroughs and townships,caucuses will be held and the candidates nominated as formerly.

As the time approaches for the v.a ioos State legislatures t-.i meet, high passenger officials iu the various rail ways in the country are mauil* ling a good deal of concern.

There is a moral certainty that in most of the cases tiie contemplated laws will be passed, and the roads must be prepared to meet the issue. It may be that the resistance of the passage of these laws will not be as bitter as it would have been a few years ago. Experience has shown that in Slates which already have such laws —Michigan an 1 Ohio—and in the cases of such roads as the New York, New- Haven aud Hartford,which voluntari ly have reduced their rates to a two cent basis,the teudancy invariably has been toward an increase in travel which has more than compensated for the reduction. If has been found that the low rates are an incentive to travel, and as the cost of hauling full trains is no great er than that of hauling empty it is considered a good business proposi tion to make such rates as will fill the traius ou all ocasious. Should subsequent experience not sustain this theory, the roads say that nothing will remain for them to do but to reduce the service to such an extent as will keep them sife A Year of Blood.

That is the quest ion that is causing a discussion of no little magnitude in Danville and throughout Pennsylvania just at present, and a decision one way or the other will mean a great deal to Montour county, for the man ner of holding primaries iu every dis trict in the county depends upon how the question is solved. The proviso iu the law that reads as follows is causing th• • discussion : "Provided, that nothing herein con tained shall prevent the nomination of candidates for borough or township offices, or other offices not herein specifically enumerated,in the manner provided by existing laws." DIVERSITY OF OPINION. Toe c unity commissioners are in r reste I in this matter, but there is much diversity of opinion as to wheth er 01 not the primaries in boroughs and townships should be held under | the. provisions of the uniform primary aer Section two of theuuiform prim r v id provides that "two primaries s'. i 1 h ■ held each year iu every elec ti hi district of this Commonwealth." This is followed by the above quoted proviso. if the electors of any borough or township desire to maketheii noiniua tious for the coming spring election uuder the new primary act,they should signify such intention by tiling with the county commissioners petitions for nominations. If such petitions are not. tile.l with the commissioners no bal lots will be provided for use under the uew primary law and the primaries can not be held under this new law, but will have to be conducted under the old system, that is iu the manner observed before the passage of the uni form primary act. MR. THORN'S ADVICE. Ciiief Clerk Thorn, of the State de partment, at Harrisburg, has issued a statement in which he says: "I would advise the county com missioners to make all necessary ar rangements for the holding of the winter primaries iu the several bor oughs and townships of ttie respective counties, and to provide supplies and equipment for each election district, as required by section 7 of uniform primary act. They should also provide ballot-boxes tor exclusive use at prim ary elections, iu order that fhe boxes iu use at general elections need not. be disturbed. ™ ONLY A LITTLE COLD in the head may he the beginning of au obstinate case of Nasal Catarrh.
