Danville. Pa., Feb. 14, 1907.
The fifty-ninth congress has only fif
teen legislative days left before it ex
pires by limitation at noon ou March
4th. Iu that short time a vast amount
of legislation must be crowded hurri
edly through according to the pernic
ious custom which the short session
has eugrafted upon the federal govern
ment. Although congress has beeu iu
session since December 3 only one
measure of large importance to the
general public has beeu passed by both
houses and approved by the president
—the anti-campaigu contribution bill.
To be sure congress fouud time to in
crease the salaries of its members from
$3,000 to $7,500 per annum.
From the present outlook there is
serious danger of a repetition of the
experiences undergone iu the closiug
hours of the last session. At that time
there was such au avalanche of bills,
finally agreed to by both houses after
loug delay, that the enrolling clerks
were simply overwhelmed aud could
uot keep pace, thus delaying the ad
journment. If such a thing should
happen again this year the only par
liamentary resource will be to turn
back the hands of the clock when noon
|
of March 4 arrives.
As the session thus enters upon what
may be called its active stage the most
graphic and comprehensive resume of
what has been done already and what
remains to be done may be given in
the following table of important gen
eral Jtaeasures :
Passed by both houses and signed by
the president—The anti-campaign con
tribution bill.
Passed by the house and awaiting
action by the senate —The bill giving
the govern aent tne right of appeal iu
criminal cases. The bill making Hie
free alcohol law effective. The river
aud harbor bill.
Passed by the senate and awaiting
action by the house—The bill limiting
the hours of railroad employes. The
ship subsidy bill (passed by the seuate
at the last session).
Bills that are apparently dead—The
Philippine tariff bill (passed by the
house la-it year, but held up in the
senate Philippine committee without
hope of being reported). The White
mountain and Appalachian forest re
serve bill) passed by both houses last
year, but apparently hopelessly dead
locked in conference).
The many annual appropriation
bills, diplomatic aud cousular, fortifi
cations, Indian, agricultural, uaval,
postofflce, suudry, pension,general de
ficiency, etc., are either awaitiug ac
tion in one or the other brauches or
not yet reported. In addition to the
above are the San Dominican, Algecir
aa and probably the Japanese treaty,
which must apparently wait until a
special session of the senate after
March 4. There is also the Smoot case,
which will be decided Feburary 20,
when Senator Smoot will undoubtedly
be sustained.
PERILS OF BALLOONING.
Aa Eirltinv Trip In the Midst of »
Wild Thunderstorm.
On one occasion, rising suddenly
through a stratum of clouds 10,000 feet
in the ulr luto brilliant sunshine, the
gas dilated. I let out a little. Dowr
we dropped into a cold air current. The
immediate condensation of the gas
dropped us back Into the cloud layer
which condensed the gas still mors
and accelerate*! the drop. We cam«
out directly above a stretch of woods
over which lay another cool belt. By
this time we were falling like a rock
We were going so fast that the bagfuls
of sand we threw out
of down. Hastily we threw out tht
drag rope, tbe anchor, the lunch basket
—to little purpose. We fflruck the trees
with a terrific craah, but escaped, how
ever, with nothing worse than a shak
lag up and a few bruises.
The most exciting trip I ever mad#
was a record breaking voyage that be
gan oue Sunday evening. Tbe weathet
was not propltioua. but we cast off.
We sailed across tbe Hudson river to
New Jersey and plunged Into a cloud
After traveling twenty miles I descend
ed to drop a note to my wife, assuring
her of our safety. Again we shot lntc
h cloud. Presently we drifted over a
village and, with that exaltation that
accompanies* the sensation of floating
in the air, enjoyed to a strange degree
the music of church bells drifting up
from below. Before we were aware
we plunged Into the midst of n huge
approaching thunder cloud. It seemed
to open and swallow us Into a pit of
gloom and simultaneously into tin
heart of the wildest thunderstorm 1
think I have ever seen. The clouds
rolled and tossed and twisted. Th»

mlstakable sound of water not far
away. Letting out n little gas, we shot
downward. Faster we dropped and
fasfer. Laud was below us. The prob

DANVILLE WATER
FOHRD PIE
Those of our citizens who liave been
somewhat exercised by reason of the
statement made by Health Commis
sioner Dixon to the effect that tlie
water of the north branch was not
above suspicion of being infected by
sewage from towns above us where
typhoid fever prevails, will be gratifi
ed to learn that so far as the hydrant
water in Danville is concerned there
is absolutely no danger of coutagion.
The water has beeu analyzed and
fount to be pure
This proves notjiiug as to the purity
or impurity of the water iu the North
Branch, but it does go a great way to
ward substantiating the claim made
for our filter system —that it can be
relied upou to eliminate bacteria.
There never was a time when condi
tions existed favorable for a more ef
fectual test than the present.
Typhoid fever is becomiug an ever
increasing cause of dread. There is
scarcely a commuuity in which every
season the number of cases do not
threaten to rise above what is normal,
while here and there dreadful epi
demics occur. It is only natural that
the people r<f Danville should share in
the general feeling of solicitude, and
those who do not pin their faith to the
full efficacy of our filter plant resort
to the safe precaution of boiling wat-
In the present emergency to quiet
all fears the local board of health de
cided to send away a sample of filter
ed water for analysis, confident in the
belief that no germs of typhoid would
be discovered. Accordingly on Thurs
day of last week Dr. Shultz. secretary
of the local board of health, procured
a sample of filtered water from the
reservoir and sent it to the laboratory
of the Peuusylvauia department of
health at Philadelphia
Yesterday Dr. Shultz received a re
port. which brought the good news
that the aualysis revealed our water
as absolutely pure—that there were no
signs of "bacteria bacilli."
The water tested, it will be observ
ed. was taken from the reservoir, just
as it is pumped into the water mains
aud furnished to our hynrants. This
leaves scarcely auy doubt' as to the
absolute purity of the water furnish
ed our town.
The water maius themselves, into
which nothing but filtered water has
been pumped for twelve years, should
be absolutely clean and free from iu
feetiou, especially as once or twice
each year all the fire pings are opened
aud the muddy water, where any ex
ists, is permitted to drain out, a pro
cess which of course takes from the
mains all forms of sediment.

There is talk of a general advance in
railroad height rates to overcome the
increase in costs of operation and

and prices of material.

on coal, all of which will have to be
paid by the unfortunate consumer.
Dr. Dixon is a Napoleon of health.
Now he proposes cleaning up the wat

vice to banish typhoid fever.

Albert George Povey whose death
occurred in Philadelphia under such
sad circumstances Saturday was con
signed to the grave iu Odd Fellows'
cemetery yesterday afternoon.
The body was brought to this city
011 Monday evening aud taken to the
residence of J. H. Weaver. Ferry street,
trom where the fuueral was held. Al
though in a strange land, without a
single relative to follow him to the
grave, yet the deceased was consigned
to his last resting place wit'i every
mark of respect.
The funeral, which took place at 2
o'clock, w r as quite well attended. The
services were conducted by Rev. L.
W. Walters,pastor of Piue Street Luth
eran church, assisted by Rev. L. Dow
Ott, pastor of Trinity M. E. church.
Duriug the fuueral several appropriate
selections were rendered on the piano
by Miss May Books. A duett "Over
Life's Patliway I Journey," afavprite
selection of the deceased, was sung by
Mrs. Cunningham and Miss Kathryn
Keim.
The pall bearers were Tarring G.
Brown, B. W. Musselmau, J. W.
Swarts, Samuel Werkheiser, George
A. Rossmau and Alfred Fry. The fun
eral proceeded to the cemetery on the
Danville and Bloomsburg trolley.
A brother and two sisters of the de
ceased survive. They all live in Lon
don. Naturally ten days or moie will
elapse before the mail arrives convey
ing to them the sad news of their
brother's death. On next Wednesday,
when the Nordland, the steamship on
which the deceased was to have em
barked aud which sailed last Satur
day, comes iuto London one of the
sisters will be ou the dock to meet her
brotlier.from whom she lias been part
ed for so many years. But of course
she will be disappointed and her
brother's failure to appear will be un
explained until after the mails arrive.
Mr. Povey'9 baggage was already on
the Nordlaud aud lie was iu sight ot
the vessel when he fell on the street.
It is accouuted a fortunate circumst
ance that death occurred before he was
carried out to sea. As it was, he was
given a burial by his friends in a town
where he had formed many attach
ments, while, if death had occurred
ou the Nordland, the body would have
been in the hands of strangers aud
would have been disposed of accord
ing to the rules provided for such
cases.
A LASTING EFFECT
This EvidmcH Should Prove -Every Claim
Made for Dcsn's Kiritty I i: 1 s
in Danville.
Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure a lame,
weak or aching back is what's want
ed. Cure it so it will stay cured. It
can be done. Here's the strongest
evidence to prove it:
Thomas Lewis, retired, of 615 Mill
street, says: 'I can only reiterate my
former statement made in 18JM5 about
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me
eight years ago and the cure then
made has been lasting and I tiave had
no return of my old trouble. Before
using them I was troubled with back
ache. I used everything recommended
but got uo relief. Tho lameness over
tie kidnevs and the terr : ble aching
continued in spite of everything that
I did and there seemed to be no relief
far me. I learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills aud read the statements made by
people who had used them and con
cluded to try them. They not only re
moved the lameness and backache but
they benefited my health iu general.
They also relieved the headaches to
which I had been subject for a consid
erable length of time. I can recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pillsas a reliable
backache and kidney cure."

DRIVES BE
! HOUSE FALLS THRO
Driving in the dark into the rail
road instead of the highway,the horse
of Will Webb, of Pine Summit fell
through the railroad culvert about a
half mile from Strawborry Ridge on
Tuesday night and it required the com
biued efforts of six men with ropes
uid tackle to pull the animal back
from his position.
Webb had been at the Strawberry
Ridge hotel during the early part of
the evening and then started for home
along the road which runs parallel to
the S. B. & B. railroad tracks. A
short distance from the Ridge the
highway crosses the track and then
continues on again on the other side
>f the track. In the dark. Webb did
not clear the track, but turned the
horse up the railroad, thinking it the
highway. A short distance from the
crossing is a culvert over a creek, and
*s the ties are sixteen inches apart,
the animal lost his footing and his
four legs went through the culvert.
The animal was helpless,and the driv
er could not release him from his posi
tion.
In a short time a half dozen will
ing hands gathered at the culvert, and
ropes, planks and tackle were procur
ed. It was fully half an hour, how
ever, before the horse could be gotten
back up on the track and back off the
culvert.
The harness and cutter shafts waye
badly injured, but none of the horse's
limbs were'broken, though badly cut.
He was taken back to Beaver's hotel,
where driver and horse remained un
til last evening.
A curious feature of the affair is
that the horse ventured out on the
open trestle.as most horses cannot even
be forced onto such dangerous places.

! IS MISUNDERSTOOD
A law, which is misunderstood and ,
which is causing our county comtuis- 1
siouers considerable embarrassment, is
the act of assembly authorizing and
requiring each county to bury aud to
provide a headstoue for any honorably
discharged soldier, sailor or marine,
who served in the army or navy dur
ing the late rebellion or auv preceding
war, aud who shall thereafter die in
that county leaving insufficeut means
to defray the necessary burial ex
penses.
In each county the act requires that
in every township and ward suitable
persons be appointed to look after aud
bury the deceased soldiers, sailors or
marines who are entitled to the bene
fit of the above act. Before assuming
charge aud expense of burial, section
second,provides that the men appoint
ed must first satisfy themselves by
careful inquiry into and examination
of all the circumstauces in the case
whether the deceased soldier, sailor or
marine they are called upon to bury
served in the army or navy and was
honorably discharged and died in their
township or ward, leaving insufficent
means to defray necessary burial ex
penses.
If they are satisfied that such facts
exist they shall take charge of the
body and cause it to be buried and
thereupon they shall immediately re
port their action in the case to the
county commissioners, setting forth
the facts acertained by them, together
with the name, rank, command to
which such deceased soldier, sailor tir
marine belonged, the date of discharge,
&c.,which report shall be dulv attest
ed by three reputable persons residing
in the same township or ward with
the deceased soldier, sailor or marine,
knowing the fact that the latter died
without sufficient means to defray
necessary burial expenses.
The above provisions, our county
commissioners think, when known
ought to make it clear, not only that
veterans ot the war must die wholly
without means before they can be
buried at the expense of the county,
but also that whatever is done in the
premises must be done promptly, as
soon as death occurs, if the provisions
of the law are to lived up to.
The county commissioners are much
perplexed by applications that come
into the office mouths after the death
and burial of the veteran has occur
red. Persons who are unacquaiuted
with the provisions of the act seem to
think that by establishing certain facts
at any time subsequent to death money
will be paid by thecouuty for burying
deceased soldiers,sailors or marines.
This is a mistake, as those who ap
ply soon learn. The death rate is
rapidly increasing among the veterans
and it is only just that all should
know what the law provides as to their
burial aud what procedure must be
employed.

DEATH OF ~ [
CLARK ASHTON
Clark Ashton, a former resident of
this city, has met his death as the re
sult of an accident sustained while em- j
ployed as a brakeman on the D. & H.
railroad He lived at Carbondale, but
was*brought to Danville for burial.
Mrs. Ashton,widow of the deceased,
who accompanied the body to this city
Monday, stated that Clark was un
conscious from the time of the accid- !
ent until death ensued. The last that
she was able to converse with him was
when he left his home, Carbondale, at |
12:30 o'clock, Saturday.
Clark, who was head brakeman, was
returning with his train about 11 a. j
m. Sunday. He was riding on the
pilot of the engine through Unadilla,
N. Y., when in some manner he lost
his footing aud fell to the side ot the
track. The momentum carried him a
distance of fifty feet beside the train
aud lie was struck several times by the
trucks of the cars in the train. Al
though he did not get under the wheels
he was shockingly bruised, the most
severe injuries being about the head.
He was picked up unconscious and
taken to the station at Unadilla where
his wounds were temporarily dressed
and from where he was sent on the
first train to the Fox Memorial hospit
! al at Oneonta, where he was joined by
his wife Sunday evening. There were
| several compound fractures of the
! skull and from the first the case ad
' mitted of no hope. Death followed
about 7 :30 o'clock Mouday morning.
Clarli Asjitou was thirty years of
i age. He was born in Danville aud re
' sided here uutil last August when he
removed to Carbondale. While here he
was employed in various pursuits. For
awhile before moving away he kept a
store on East Market street and manu
factured aud vended ice cream.
He was an active enterprising man
and his store did not succeed to please
him. It was with the hope of improv
i ing his circumstances that he sold out
and removed to Carboudale, where he
became a brakeman. He was highly
esteemed not only in this city, but al

Ul ' re l uent desire to

the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of ordsr.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swarnp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled togo often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the

The Central Pennsylvania confer
ence of the United Evangelical church
will convene this year in Carlisle,
March 7th. This is oue of the largest
conferences of this denomination, be
ing composed of 134 ministers and 110
lay delegates. Bishop H. B. Hartzler,
D. D., of Harrisburg, will preside.
This session of the conference will be
of more than usual interest since there
are twenty-four of the pastors who
have reached the four year limit on
their present charge and must there
fore move, which will necessitate the
moving of others. Among the promin
ent congregations that will he affected
this y«ar by the four year limit will
be Scranton, North Berwick, Blooms
burg, St. John's, Williamsport; Mil
ton, Lewistown, Lemoyne, Trinity,
York; Red Lion, Olive Branch, Balti
more and Hagerstown. The term of
four of the presiding elders expires at
this conference, two of them however
are eligible for reelection, the other
two having served eight years, or two
terms, are therefore by the law of the
church not eligible for reelection,
hence there will bo two new presid
ing elders to elecr. The conference
will be iu session about one week.
