EXPOSITION
BUILDINGS
There are more than one hundred
buildings at the Jamestown exposition
not including those of the "Warpath"'
and they range in size from the small
er special exhibit buildings to the
mammoth States' exhibit palace of the
manufactures and liberal arts struct
ure. The lofty columns of the Doric-
Corinthian combination of architect
ure present an aspect of stateliness and
solidity, and form a beautiful picture
of a magnificent Colonial city.
The buildings of the exposition pro
per consist of the auditorium aud ad
ministration, manufactures and liberal
arts, machinery and transportation,
historic arts, education, mines and
metallurgy, pure food, States' exhibit
palace, palaces of commerce, agricul
ture aud horticulture, marine appli
ance, power and alcohol, fire proof
historic relic building, graphic arts,
arts and crafts, village and numerous
other special buildings and pavilions
including an immense reviewing stand.
The government structures include |
the grand piers and their accompany
ing accessories; two large exhibit
buildings; fisheries building, Smith
sonian institute and national museum ; j
army and navy clubhouse; clubhouse
for enlisted men; colonial building,
negro builc ing, Pauama and Porto
Rico ana life-saving station. The gov
ernment buildings occupy a prominent
position on either side of Raleigh
square and overlooking the great piers
and Hampton Roads.
The buildings of the several States
present a great variety, many of them
representative of some historic hall or
home within the borders of the State
erecting the structure,but the colonial
idea prevails in the style of architec
ture. Most of the buildings are locat
ed on Willoughby boulevard fronting
on Hampton Roads and affording the
best possible points of vantage from
which to view the harbor illumina
tions by nights aud the naval pageant
by day. The Virginia building is the
most imposing of all the State struct
ures presenting a massive type of col
onial architecture in all its conven
tional dignity. Georgia has reproduc
ed "Bulloch Hall'' tho home of the
mother of President Roosevelt at Rose
well, Georgia, Maryland has repro
duced the home of Charles Carroll, of
Carrollton; Pennsylvania, has a re
plica of Independence Hall; New-
Jersey has a model of Washington's
headquarters at Morristown; Massa
chusetts has a model of the old State
House at Boston; Connecticut has the
Col. Talmadge home at Litchfield:
Ohio has reproduced iu cement block,
a model of "Aenia" the first stone
house erected west of the Allegheny
Mountains and used as the executive
mansion of Ohio for a number of years
while the capital was at Chillicoth;
Kentucky has a representation of
Daniel Boone's fort as it appeared at
Boonesboro. over a huudred years ago.
Among the other States which are rep
resented by buildings are New York,
North Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Is
land, Vermont, New Hampshire, West
Virginia, North Carolina, Illinois,
Missouri, Louisiana and others may
yet erect buildings.
Among the special exhibit buildings
erected by private concerns or cities
may be mentioned the Virginia miner
al and timber exhibit building; the
"House of Welcome" erected by the
city of Baltimore; Grand Trunk rail
way building; Baldwin Locomotive
works building; American Locomotive
Works ; Travelers Protective associa
tion ; Larkin Soap Co., Woodmen of
the World; Leedy Cigar Factory;

COURTESY.
Courtesy is one of the finest traits
of character nature or culture can be
stow upon man or woman. It makes
many a disagreeable situation bearable
and plants many a flower along the
roadside of life
A SAD THOUGH
TYPICAL CASE
A very sad, though typical case was
heard before justice of the peace Og
lesbv Monday morning.
It is the old,old story of what might
otherwise have been a prosperous and
happy household being disrupted and
made the victims of fear and denial
through the influence of strong drink.
The husband, a youug man scarcely
more than thirty, was arrested by
Chief of-Police Minceinoycr Saturday
eveuing and placed in the county pri
on. He had been indulging in one of
his customary debauches and had
broken the furniture and terrified the
family.
It was difficult, to determine who
was the object of the greater sympathy
—the young wife as she told of the in
dignities that had been heaped upon
her, of her struggles to keep the fam
ily out of the pittance allowed her, of
her fear and anxiety and the broken
promises of reform; or the young hus
band, who admitted practically all as
true—who said he wanted to do better
—who acknowledged that he had tried
before and failed, but affirmed that he
was anxious to make one more effort
to redeem his manhood.
The husband is a skillful mechanic
and earns good wages. His drinking
habits were all that was urged against
him. Yet things had reached such a
pass that in her desperation the wife
had brought a suit charging him with
wilfully neglecting to maintain her
and his three children It was plainly
to be seen that the husband, who was
a sort of a man to impress one favor-
ably, did not mean that such a state
of affairs should come to pass and as
he promised to do better one somehow
could not but feel that he meant all he
said and that a better life will be the
result.
r i
Improved Water Tank.
A force of carpenters are at work on
the new tank being built by the D. L.
& W. railroad company near the stove
works, the foundation of which was
completed last summer.
The new tank will bear little re
semblance to tho one at present doing 1
service, which is old and wholly out !
of date. The inventive genius of man
has been brought to bear on water
tanks as well as on other things per
taining to railroading.
The new tauk will be au improve
ment over the one displaced, in that
freeziug will be prevented without
the presence of fire in the structure;
also in that the spout will be of a sort
t) prevent waste vhcn the engine is
taking water.
The improved spout can be connect
ed directly with the tank of a locomo
tive, regardless of the height of the
latter, so that not only is the waste of
water prevented but the formation of
mud about the tauk, which becomes a
nuisance, is obviated.
Iu form the new tauk will bear little
resemblance to the old one, the out
line of which has become very fam
iliar to the people of town. The tank
proper of the old structure is twelve
feet in diameter by fourteen feet in
height. The base is of solid masonry,
containing supply pipe aud heating
apparatus to prevent freeziug.
The foundation of the new structure
was constructed last summer aud is a
very intricate and substantial
piece of work. The tauk proper will
be sixteen feet by sixteen feet and
will, tiierefore, be of much greater
capacity than the old oue. Instead of
the circular foundation wall of mas
onry it will be suported ou eight heavy
wooden pillars which will surround a
central chamber containing the supply
pipe. This chamber, which will be
nicely adjusted to the heavy concrete
foundation, will be built of eight
thicknesses of boards, between each
course of which paper will be laid to
prevent freezing.
The D. L. & W. railroad company
uses borough water at Danville and
thus probably wins the distinction of
being one of the few railroads of the
country that indulges in the luxury of
filtered water for its locomotives.
BOOMING A TOWN.
According to the Franklin Evening
News "too many people expect the
editor of the local paper to be the
whole thing in booming the town.
They're constantly giving him the
hunch to whoop it up. The editor's
inspiring efforts must be reinforced by
the people more directly interested.
Business men, capitalists, men who
are able financially to do tilings, must
put their shoulder to the wheel and
help push the car of progress along.
One or two men can do a great deal,
but they can't do it all. It requires
the concerted action of tho citizens.
When one man shoulders a town and
attempts to carry it, there are always
a lot of cranky kickers ready to jump
on top of the load. Unity of action is
what counts."
Yetter is Bloom's Solicitor.
g Former president of the Bloomsburg
council, Clyde Charles Yetter,has been
chosen for solicitor ot the town of
Bloomsburg over A. W. Duy.bya vote
of 5 to 3. The salary was fixed at SIOO
per year with the usual understanding
that he will do all the legal work out
side of court and be present at council
meetings when necessary.
Shamokin.
While some girls of Shamokin were
jumping rope Andrew Dressa interfer
ed and when Mrs. Victor Augustine
told him to stop he rushed at her with
a knife. Her husband ran to her res
cue and was seriously stabbed by
Dressa. Dressa lias been arrested.
DISCRIMINATION.
After mentioning the fact that large
appropriations are annually asked and
generally received by the University
of Pennsylvania,a ud one or two other
institutions, tho Washington Observer
j wants to know why other institutions
j equally deserving get nothing. "On
what ground," it asks, "are these
I universities entitled to appropriations
from tho State that do not apply with
! equal force to the college? All our
higher educational institutions should
be placed on the same basis The pre
sent plan is not a square deal."
MEASLES AND
HUMPS RAMPANT
The report of the local registrar as
turned into the bureau of vital statis
tics for March shows an absence of
communicable diseases, with the ex
ception of mumps and measles, which
just now are very prevalent among
children.
The local registrar states that in his
opinion there are many cases of both
mumps aud measles, which have nol
been reported anil hat children may
be seeu playing upon the streets that
have either of the diseases in its mild
er form. Iu the case of measles,especi
ally, parents are erroneously under the
impression that the disease is little to
be dreaded and it is ouly when a bad
cough develops that the doctor is call
ed in. Thus the rnajo ity of those tak
en ill recover without being reported.
As a matter of fact, the local regis
trar asserts, measles is a juv
enile disease much to be dreaded,as it
renders the body very susceptible to
cold and thus becomes a predisposing
cause of pneumonia. Careful parnets,
therefore, will make an effort to pre
vent their children from contracting
either measles or mumps aud should
they fall ill of the disease, will see to
it that they receive medical treatment.
This of course implies that all cases
would be reported.
During March there were only two
cases of typhoid fever reported. There
were no deaths from the disease. There
was no pneumonia, diphtheria, scarlet
fever or any of the other diseases that
usually prevail at this season reported
to the local registrar during March.
The number of deaths,for Marcli in
cluding those which occurred at tho
hospital for the iusane, was seventeen
as against twenty for February.
The number of births for March is
not yet available. The number that
occurred during February was twen
ty eight.
WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing W.>rk Keaps Us Strong
aad Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impnre matter is left
iu the blood. This brings on mmy dis
eases and symptoms—pain in the back,
headache, nervonsn ss. hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir
regular heart, debilitv, drow-iness, drop
sy, deposits in the ur ne, etc. But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Augnstus HHWU, 327 Secoud St., Hunt
ingtou, Pa., says:"lt was about three
years ago that my kidneys first begun to
give me trouble. The disease grew on
me gradually aud constantly became
worse until it reached a stage of severity
that when I got up iu the morning sharp
stinging pains would catch me in the
back and the actiou of the kidneys be
came very regular and there was a hot
burning sens-tion durina pissage of the
secretions- I tried all kinds of medicine
but nothing seemed to do m-* any good.
At last Id ride I to try Doans Kidney
Pills and fonnd such prompt and unex
pected relief that 1 feel warranted iu
recommending this remedy to other suf
fers.

Garden flaking Suspended.
The householder with a "patch of
ground," who entered upon garden
making so enthusiastically last week,
has taken a back seat. He has prob
ably discovered that with mercury be
low the freezing point he would not
have much trouble in finding more
profitable employment than preparing
the ground for seed.
In this latitude there is nothing to
be gained by making garden early,
as there is an "onion snow" and a
couple of late frosts to reckon with.
Indeed, with early garden truck so
choice and so cheap in market, it is a
question whether the resident of town
who desires to be profitably employed
will make garden at all The ground
connected with a dwelling makes a
better appearance as a lawn and in
most instances yields as much profit
as a gnrden.

ONLY SURE HARBINGER.
The frog is considered by the Titus
ville Morning Herald as the only sure
harbinger of spring. This is what the
Herald says: "Not until the frogs in
Watson's flats have thrice been chased
into the mud by returniug winter
weather will the gardeners of this
community pin their faith to any
spring predictions The frog is a sure
prognosticator and lie does little croak
ing about it."
Trouble at Foundry ville.
Fouudryville. near Berwick, came
to the limo light yesterday morning
with an exciting shooting affray,
whicli required the calling out of the
State constabulary, stationed at West
Berwick,and the arrest of Wallace Sey
bert, who did the shooting
Robert Cauouse, of North Berwick,
was the victim. He was passing Sey
bert's home when it is claimed his dog
ran out and made an effort to bite
him, and he threw stones at HIP anim
al. This angered Seybert and he dis
charged two charges of shot from a
doable barreled «un at him. Cmouse
escaped with a few shot penetrating
his oar.
At a hearing later Seybert waived a
hearing and gave bail for nppearaure
at court.
It is, perhaps, State Treasurer Ber
ry's time to laugh. If he hadn't the
proof last Fall he proved a pretty fair
guesser in the light of recent testi
mony.
DRAMATIC CLUB
AT HOSPITAL
Tlie entertaiument given on Thurs
day evening by the young men's dram
atic club of the Danville hospital for
the insane iu the hospital amusemeut
hall proved to be a grand success.
The young men presented several
plays which were witnessed by many
of the patients, all of the employes
who could be spared arid a number of
persons from outside the hospital.
Many of the peopie from Danville who
attended could not find seats, but wit
nessed the performance from the land
ing outside the hall. The patients
especially seemed to enjoy every act
of the entertainment.
All of the participants in the enter
tainment covered themselves with
glory. The performers were ably as

Rest is the great restorer. We tire our
muscles by exercise and then rest to
restore them ; yet a great many of us
do not stop to think how little rest we
give to our stomachs. Asa usual thing
no part of our bodies is so generally
overworked as our digestive organs. A
tired and overworked stomach will
give signs of distress to which we pay
no heed until at last Dyspepsia takes
hold. Indigestion is just a warning,
aud if we heed the warning we can
easily avoid further consequences.

gives the stomach the needed rest and
greatly assists in restoring it to its

ARGUMENT COURT
ON SATURDAY
A short session of court was held
Saturday morning witli his Honor
Judge Evans and Associate Welliver
on the bench. The exceptions filed to
the auditor's report in re Danville and
Sunbury Street Railway company svere
argued, E. S. Gearhart appearing for
the report
Although the sale ot the Danville
aud Sunbury railway took place last
summer the funds are still in the
hands of the sheriff. Ralph Kisner,
Esq., was appointed auditor to distri
bute the funds derived from the
sheriff's sale. W. A. Heller, it ap
pears, by virtue of his office as trea
surer of the company, executed a
judgment exemption note for SISOO
to his wife.
When the time arrived for the audit
or to make distribution of the funds
and the claim along with others was
presented Mr. Kisner disallowed tlie
claim for tlie reason that the Danville
and Sunbury Street Railway Co. dis
puted the validity of the note iu that
its board of directors had never auth
orized its execution and that it was
therefore fraudulent.
The latter position Mr. Kisner
affirmed and consequently disallowed
the claim, whereupon exceptions were
filed to the auditor's report by counsel
for Mrs. Heller. The court after list
ening to the argument Saturday took
the papers
Iu case court sets aside exceptions
disbursement will be made according
to apportionment made by auditor.

REQUIRES AGITATION.
The naifftug of spring Arbor Days
by Governor Stuart leads the Potts
ville Miners' Journal to observe that
"it requires considerable agitation to

svlvauia to bring them up to a proper
realization of the object and purposes
of Arbor Day : Every year, days are
set apart by the governor for the pur
pose of educating the young and the
old to appreciate the fact that it is
their duty to contribute their influ
ence and labor to plant and to take
proper care of trees,aud to prevent the
wauton waste of our forests, and to
replenish the denuded lulls and valleys
with a growth of trees."

Two Cent Fare.
Concerning the new two-cent fare
bill, just passed by the legislature, the
Philadelphia Ledger observes : "If the
State had taken over the railroads,and
if it were operating them, it would
have the perfect right to fix the rates
without even making an inquiry
whether the new rate were profitable
or feasible; but it must be apparent
that it is a very delicate proceeding
at best for a body of legislators to fix
an arbitrary price for the product of
an enterprise without assuming
any of the responsibility for the re
sults,or without any knowledge 01 the
facts, or without setting on foot any
real inquiry as to the justice of the
arbitrary rate." *

The Farmer and Capitalist.
The Philadelphia Press says that the
farms of the United States are worth,
according to the latest official esti
mate, $28,000,000,000.
The combined value of all the rail
road stocks aud bonds aud the securit
ies of the industrial plants is only
about three-fourths as great as that of
the farms.
There have been many times in the
past when the man who r>ises wheat
and corn, oats and hay was badly hit.
Indeed the blows were quite as severe
as those which in the year 1907 have
fallen upon the owners of securities.
When farm products fell to prices so
low that there was nothing but loss
for the farmer there was no special
cry from the capital interests to help
matters. When the value of the farm
for oue reason or another was not
equal to the mortgages put upou them
there were likewise no wild demands
for legislation, that is to say, none
from the great centers of population.
But now that the farmers are pros
perous as never before, while the mag
nate aud the high flyers in finance are
wofully pinched, the boot is on the
other foot. Those whose sole welfare
seems to center in the stock exchanges
wonder why the rest of the people are
not walking the floor at night think
ing up plans to set finaucial disaster.

Hartmau in the course of a year.
Easter, however, in some of its re
lations, is a day that appeals to the
fair sex; it is about this time that the
thoughts of the young especially, turn
to finery and the beauty of spring ap
parel, which is just beginning to bud
and to bloom. The Easter gift, there
fore, that Mr. Hartmau selected for
each of his 250 female employes is
thoroughly appropriate in every re
spect and consists of several yards of
taffeta—sufficient silk for a very
charming waist. The silk presented
is a product of Mr. Hartman's own
mills as far as the process of manu
facture is carried here The weaving
was done in other mills.
The 250 waist patterns neatly folded
in snow-white paper, were presented to
each woman and girl as she passed out
of the mill before Easter. That the
employes, so kindly remembered, ap
preciate Mr. Hartman's tlionghtfull
ness aud generosity it is not necessary
to add. Neither is there any doubt
that the employes will reciprocate by
rendering in return the most faithful
and painstaking service.
As intimated above the boys have
not been forgotten. They will have
their inning at the Fourth of July.
An Insidious Danger.
One of the worst features of kidney
trouble is that it is an insidious dis
ease and before the victim realizes his

Attempt to Wreck Train.
While the Buffalo Flyer was speed
ing on its way on Friday toward Suu
bury from Williamsport it rushed
through a large flock of chickens which
|an unfortunate West Braucti farmer
was fattening for the Easter market.
When the train made its next stop
many of the passengers came forward
to inspect the damage. The cowcatch
er and wheels were covered with the
feathers and gore of many fowls.
Tightly wedged between the bars of
the cow catcher were two plump pul
lets. The negro chef iu the dining car
quickly appropriated them, cleaned
them with boiling water in the bag
gage car, and further down the line
served them with tempting sauces to
several patrons of the road.
As the chef industriously plucked
the feathers from the fowls he remark
ed with a broad griu tj the baggage
master, "With chicken selling foil a
dollah a plate I sholy ought to make
enough to buy mail Eastah clothes,
eh?"
By a curious coiucidence a cow was
! killed a few days ago near the same
! place where the chicken massacre oc
! curred. If the destruction of the live
stock continues it is probable that the
farmers in the neighborhood will
bring suit agaiust the railroad com
pany to recover damages.

The Bottom Dollar.
On Saturday Charles M. Newton,
grocer, of Jackson Run, Warren coun
ty, came into possession of a oue dol
lar bill which told a story of the dis
astrous filnnip in Wall street, as these
words were written across the back of
' it:"The last of 147,600 lost in Wall
' street iu Union Pacific, Reading, St.

ASSESSORS AND
THEIR DUTIES
Today the assessors of all the wards
and the townships will be giveu their
books for the annual assessment The
triennial assessment was held last Sep
tember.
The appeal will be held for all
townships and Washingtouville bor
ough on Wednesday, May 1, at tie
office of riio county commissioners.
The appeal for the borough of Dan
ville will be field on Monday, May
6th.
The position of assessor is much
more important thau is frequently im
agined. The proper valuation of prop
erty, which is the basis of just taxa
tion, depends upou their fidelity and
judgment. There is no doubt, how
ever. that the assessors of our county
fully realize the responsibility of th?ir
position.
As usual persons who have money at
interest will be given a blank for their
return of mortgage, judgments, &<•.,
subject to State tax Wliero a person
either fails or refuses to make this re
turn the assessor is required to make
out an estimated return of such tax
able property, to which the county
commissioners will add a penalty of
fifty per cent, in accordance with the
act of assembly.
One part of their work in which as
essors sometimes fail is the assess
ment of children of the school age.
Accuracy in this matter is very essen
tial. as upou it depends whether or not
the school district shall receive its
just portion of the State appiopria
tion.
The act of July 15. 1897, provides
that one-third of the money auuually
appropriated for the common schools
of the Commonwealth shall be distri
buted on the basis of the number of
paid teachars; one-third of the ap
propriation or the basis of the num
ber of the children of school age. be
tween six and sixteen years, residing
in the respective districts; oue-tiiird
or the remainder of the appropriation
for the schools, on the basis of the !
number of *axables as retarued by the !
last biennial assessment.
The assessor in each township or
ward is required to make an enroll
ment as the assessment of the number j
of children between the ages of 6 and 1
16 years in addition to the duties re
quired of him under existing law for
the same compensation per diem al
lowed by law. Any assessor failing or
neglecting to make the proper enroll
ment of children of the school age
may be made to pay a fine of not less
than $25 and shall be liable to removal
from office.
Mr. S. L. Bowen.of Wayne,W. Va.,
writes: "I was a sufferer from kidney
disease, so that at times I could not
get out of bed. and wtieu I did I could
not stand straight. I took Foley's Kid
ney Cure One dollar bottle and part
of the second cured me entirely."
Foley's Kidney Cure works wonders

STILL TIME.
While the time for presenting bills
in the legislature has expired, they
can still be presented providing the
unanimous consent Is obtained. That,
however, is easier to ask than to re
ceive. Should any important matter
come up, however, it is believed that
there would be no difficulty in having
it presented. Some of the most im
portant. bills in previous legislatures
have been known to appear at the lat
ter end of the sessions and to have
been pushed through.

TROUT SEASON.
The Hazleton Standard thus refers
to a matter which possesses interest
for a large number of citizens: "Next
!ou the pr jgraui for local fishermen is
the trout season and there should be
some good catches during the opening
week, provided the mild weather con
tinues. There have been no changes
in the fishing laws in regard to the
taking of trout. The season still opens
on April 15th and all fish less that six
inches in length must be returned to
j the water, nor may any fisherman
| legally take more than fifty trout in
any one day.

Row Boats Launched.
Owners of row boats are preparing
to launch their craft in the river for a
gammer's sport in rowing and fishing.
Borough Superintendent Gordy is the
owner of a fine boat built by his own
hands, which in a few days will take
its place among the multitude of oth
er boats that line the water's edge.
The naphtha launches, which became
very popular a few years ago, seem no
longer much in favor with Danville
people and it is doubtful if there will
be more thau one or so in commission
here during the coming summer.
Rowiug is recognized as a health
ful form of exercise, while the river
here with its abundance of water, and
charming scenery proves a great at
traction ;so that no doubt in a short
time, as during last summer,tlie broad
chauuel will be dotted with boats each
eveuing.

kidneys themselves break down and waste

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp=Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes tha'
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized, it stands the highest for its won

Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold

Telegraph Rates Advanced.
An increase of rates was put into
effect by both Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies on Mon
day raorniug, April Ist. From the
standpoint of Danville the Western
Union's increase iu one way or anoth
er affects pretty much the entire coun
try, the old rate schedule in one case
only not being changed, namely, from
this city to Harrisburg, where the rate
remains twenty five cents.
From Danville to every other point
iu the State the price has been raised
from 25 cents to 35 cents with a cor
responding advance to points outside
; the State.
The iucrea e over the old rate sched
j ule affects various parts of the State
j differently. Iu some cases it is 66 per
' cent., although the average increase
! is probably about 33 per cent. The ad
vances are on both night and day mess
ages in the greater number of cases.
An increase in the cost of running
! the business is the excuse given by the
I companies for the advance.

bloom Wants Base Bali.
"Bloom wants base ball; Berwick
wants ba6e ball; Catawissa wants base
ball; Danville wants base ball; they
all want base ball from one end of the
trolley line to the other. What an ex
cellent opportauity then to start a
'Trolley League' and satisfy, this sea
son, to the fullest extent the longings
of the hungry fan". So suggests a
local base ball man.
Two games a week, or even one,
would arouse much enthusiasm along
the trolley line, and would instill the
greatest pleasure in the base ball lov
ers' hearts.
What's the use of hanging back,and
playing the game as it has been play
ed for a few seasons past in the four
towns named. Why not cut loose; get
a base ball "brain storm" and do
things to the satisfaction of the pa
trons of the national game. Swing on
'em hard and the dead in the base ball
field shall rise again and come to the
front with such a whirl wind season
as has not been experienced in this
vicinity since the good old days.
Wliat's the use to clash with the coal
regiou teams or have base ball tossers
from afar, when the real "cream of
the inilkin' " comes when yon smear
i it all over a local aggregation. Bloom
I knows how she gets chesty when she
| hangs it onto Berwick, and vice versa
I all along the line.
Well that's the season's dope that is
being agitated at Berwick, and why
not Bloom, Catawissa and Danville
fall in line, like the busy bees,and do
some buzzing in favor of the plan.
Bloomsburg promises this season to
I have a fast, independent team. They'll
j do battle against the best of them and
' may win a big per centage of the
games played, but what's the use if
' they play to the end of the season,
i come out ahead and have nothing to
show for the good work. With a trol
ley league formed the Bloom team
could at legist win the pennant.
Let there be a league and let Blooms
burg keep up her past reputation of
being the leaders. It would stimulate
the interest besides giving a good ar
ticle of ball this season. —Bloomsburg
