Montour American. FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. 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» balloon would now be forced down then tossed up and again spun swiftl> about like a top. We lost all sense of direction. Thunder was crashing and rolling and crackling all around us Lightning 11. shed, not in forked zi;.r zogs, but in great flashes of fire. It wan frightful. We did not want to de ■eend, but presently we heard the un 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 lem was to Innd in the high wind with out damage. I let out more gas. We lauded in it treetop with a jar that ti::- ed the basket so firmly in a crotch that if con!

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.

The railroads are threatening to in crease the rates of carrying coal and the legislature threatens to put a tax on coal, all of which will have to be paid by the unfortunate consumer.

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." i'or sale by all dealers Price 50 cents. Foeter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

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. Nothing will relieve Indigestion that is not a thorough digestant. Kodol digests what you eat and allows the stomach to rest — recuperate grow strong again. KODOL is a solution of digestive acids and as nearly as possi ble approximates the digestive jucies that are found in the stomach. KODOL takes the work of digestion off the digestive organs, and while perform ing this work itself does greatly assist the stomach to a thorough rest In ad dition the ingredients of KODOL are such as to make it a corrective of the highest efficiency and by its action the stomach is restored to its normal act ivity and power.

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 so in Carbondale. While in Danville he was a member of the United Evan gelical church. The deceased leaves a wife and an adopted daughtei.
