SUBSCRIPTION
US! SWELLING
There seems little doubt but that the
1 proposition to abolish the old cemetery
1 ou Bloom street and to establish a park
.ou the spot will be carried through
; to success.
Iu all some eleveu hundred dollars
have been subscribed to date. Same two
thousand dollars is the limit fixed as
j necessary to pay all expenses incident
:al to the improvement. A great deal
of formality is involved, especially in
getting rid of the cemetery, but no
material step will be taken in the pro
i ceedings until it is determined wheth
!er or not the whole sum of money
, needed can be raised.
' Soliciting is still in progress aud,as
implied by the additional huudred dol
lars subscribed since the last report,
interest is by no means flagging. In
; the money pledged are several gener
ous subscriptions from people of
means. One of our councilmon, who is
very much interested in the project,
yesterday explained that practically
all the money that is yet to be raised 1
will have to come from the rank aud
file. He had confidence, however, that !
the working people, who comprise the I
rank aud file of our population, will
rise equal to the occasion. It is for
their pleasure and comfort that the
park is designed. It remains for them
tc show an appreciation of what is be
ing doue by generously subscribing [
something from their earnings to help
the project along. It is the sum total j
of tlie small contributions that count j
in the end aud the councilman quoted
made it clear that if the park is to be- :
come an accomplished fact it will have
to be with the aid of the entire popu
lation, for the borough has no money !
to spare from its treasury.
It was learue l that the intention is
to push the canvassing along as rapidly
as possible, finishing up. if possible,
tliis week. As a next step the old
burial ground will be returned to court
when it convenes ou the 27th inst.
There is no question but that it will
be condemned,although the exact form
that procedure may take beyond that
point is uot so clear.
The committee of council iu whose
hands the matter rests feels quite coa- !
fident both that the money required :
can be raised and that the borough j
will be empowered to abolish the ceme
tery aud to establish a park ou the
site.
PERFECT CONFIDENCE
Danville People Have Good Rea
son for Complete Reliance.
Do you know how—
To liud quick relief from backache;
To correct distressing urinary ills;
To surely cure sick kidneys'/
Just one way—your neighbors know ;
Have used Doan's Kidney Pills;
Have proved their worth in many
tests.
Here's Danville testimony.
Mrs. Edward K. Lunger,of 1! t'hureh i
St . says: 'I still think a great deal
of Doan's Kidney Pills. I would uot
thiuk of being without them in the
house. I made a statement for publica
tion iu lSiUi in which I gave my opin
ion of Doan's Kidney Pills ou account
of the great benefit I had received
from their uso. I have never Imd auy !
cause to regret making that statement
and now over eight years afterwards, ;
I can reiterate the statement. Before ;
taking this remedy I suffered for
mouths with backache aud lameness
aud soreness iu the back. The pain
over my hips was continuous and wliou
on my feet it was one steady gnawing j
ache. It hurt me to do anything re
quiring a bending position, sharp
twinges would catch me so suddenly !
that I had to hraoe myself until they j
stopped. The kidney secretions au- |
novt'd uie and I often suffered from j
headaches. I read statements given by |
people in this vicinity who had used
Doan's Kidney Pills aud concluded to
try them. They did me more good
than any other medicine 1 ever tried. \
After a few doses I no longer exper- :
ienced such sever pain aud tiually the !
paiu was removed entirely The an- |
uoyance caused by the irregular.ties
of the kidney secretions was entirely
reiuoved. I can honestly recommend i
Doan's Kidney Pills to those suffering
as I did."

SLAVS WERE
j ' CELEBRATING
The foreigu population of our town
embraced under the general name of
slav, which may imply either Poles or
Russians, was enjoying a holiday yes
terday, the occasion beiug Easter Mon
day. Sunday among the Ilussians,
: Greeks, &c.. was celebrated as Easter,
j May sth iu the Gregorian caleudar
j corresponding to April 22 in the Rus
j sian calendar.
The Russian Greek Catholic churcli
j es were everywhere the soeueof speci
al aud more or less elaborate services
I Sunday. The foreigners in Danville
belonging to the above church were de
nied the privilege of attending Easter
services Sunday, but they did not lode
sight of their prerogatives "the day
after" aud the result was that Mon
day morning the forty odd slavs em
ployed at the Heading irou works did
not report for duty.
A heavy-browed aud podgy foreigner i
making his way along tho street with
unsteady footsteps during the day was !
not an unusual spectacle aud conveyed
au idea of how at least some of the
slavs were celebrating.
The foreign quarter iu Danville com- i
prises considerably less than one hull- :
dred persons. It is made un wholly of ,
slavs, who are employed at the Read- i
iug Iron works as laborors There is !
uot one of them that is master of the ;
English language, while the majority
of them have uo knowledge even of its j
rudiments.
Their ignorance of our language J
forms a great handicap aud they are of j
but little use iu rolling mills except as
laborers. Iu the coal region, where
they are more numerous and possess
advantages relating to language that
they do not have here, they rise much '
higher in the scale of proficient work- j
men and many become skillful miners,
earning good wages.
It is said that there is not a Hun
garian iu Danville. The latter and the j
Slavs, whether Poles or Russians, do
not affiliate. That serenity aud good
order so generally prevails in our for
eign quarter is no doubt due to the
fact that the people there are practic
ally all of one nationality.

Deatn of Former Resident.
Ne vs was received in this city yes
terday to the effect that Merritt Har
rison Rogers, formerly chief engineer
of the Denver aud Rio Grande railroad
aud whose past was linked with this
section, had died a victim of paralysis
aud that his dead body was found ly
ing beside the railroad.
On last Thursday evening Mr. Rog
ers started out from Denver in appar
ently sound condition, although for
tho last three vears he has been sub
ject at intervals to bad health. The
engineer who the day following fouad
the dead body passed him during the
morning walking beside the track to
ward Minturn. Returning the engi
neer saw the body lying on the em
bankment. He stopped his train and
going to investigate found Mr. Rog
ers dMd.
The deceased was born in 1851, at
Centermorland, Luzerne county, this
State. He went wost in 1878 and rose
r ipidly. He was regarded as one of
! the soundest railroad engineers in the
, Rocky Mountain West.
Mr. Regan* was au intimate friend
|of our tonnnau, W. IV Aavneruiau.
'ln 1900 he came east aud spent some
ti'ine at the Ammermau homestead ill
this city. His visit was a pleasant
one and is recalled by many of our
townspeople who then forr 3d Mr.
Rogers' acquaintance. On lu return
he was accompanied by Miss l argaret
; Ammermau, who eujoyed a visit of
six months with his family aud dur
ing which time she made a tour of tho
system of railways with which Mr.
Rogers was connected. Tho deceased
is survived by a widow.

IN NEED OF A
WAITING ROOM
Few people have failed to observe
the steady increase in the Dumber of
passengers using the P. & R. railway
who prefer to get on and off the trains
at the Bloom street crossing. Natural
ly as Bloom street increases in popular
ity the patronage at the regular sta
tion falls off correspondingly.
It is no unusual thing to see'a dozen
or fifteen persons take the 11:28 pass
enger train at Bloom street, while con
siderably loss than half that number
are in waiting at the regular station.
Bloom street at the railroad is one
of the most central points in town and
since the railway company is accom
modating enough to scop its passenger
trains there, the bulk of people, con
sulting their own convenience, natur
ally gravitate to that point.
It is a matter of some surprise that
the railway company, ordinarily very
prompt in furnishing such facilities,
does not provide some shelter at Bloom
street for the people waiting for the
trains There is hardly a day but
groups may be seen sitting on the door
steps or, if they need shelter, standing
in the doorways, while the train is
yet a long way off.
What is needed at Bloom street is a
comfortable waiting room, which could
no doubt be easily obtained in one of
buildings on the spot. By the time
this much was done for the public
comfort, the railway people would no 1
doubt discover that it would be much j
to their own convenience if a ticket
office were installed in connection with {
the waiting room. ludeed.the question
naturally suggests itself whether in a j
short time all the passenger traffic j
might not he diverted to Bloom street j
leaving the present station to be used j
as a freight depot.
So many people are interested in the j
matter that it would not be surprising I
if au set on foot in a '
short time that might lesult in getting
the railway people interested and fin- j
ally bring about the very thing desir

hpr First Trolley Ride.
In Berwick lives a woman, aged 88
years, who although the was born and i
raised iu Pennsylvania, she never un- I
til Sunday rode ou a trolley car and !
she can not speak or understand the |
English language.
Mrs. Benjamin Foulk is the aged ;
lady's name and on Sunday for the |
first time iu her life boarded a trolley i
car at Berwick and rode to Blooms- j
burg, where she spent the day with her:
son, Pierce Foulk.
Until recently Mrs. Foulk resided j
in the country back of Oatawissa, and
not lining a person to travel, she never 1
went to any of the surrounding towns,
and of oourse, never even saw a trol
ley ear ami until the time she moved
to Berwick, only a few weeks ago,the
never saw au electric light. She al
ways considered the farm good enough
for her and the old-fashioned way of
living she liked best.
Last Christmas her hubsaud died,
and after much persuasion, her daugh
ter, Mrs. Katherina Mausteller, secur
ed her mother's consent togo and live
with her at Berwick. Knowing her
mother had never been on a trolley
car, Sunday she decided to take the
aged lady to Bloomsburg. At first the
woman was timid about making the
trip on the trolley, but at the last
minute she decided to go.
She liked the ride very well, but it
made her ill to ride so far. It was not
nearly so difficult to get her back en
the car in the evening when she went
home
Mrs. Foulk, although so far advanc
ed in years, is very active and posi
tively refused the aid of her son when
he offered to help her off and on the
car. She was raised in Berks county,
and although she has lived in Colum
bia county many years, she has nev
er mastered the English language. Her
eyesight being still very good she
spends much of her timo reading the
German books and newspapers. She
said she liked trolley cars.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications as thev cannot
reach the diseased "portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is bv constitutional
remedies. Deafness ii caused by au
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is eutir-dy closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be takeu out and this tube
teatored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
i cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but au inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

FIFTY BELONG
TO BLACK HANE
"Not two-thirds of tlie crimes at
tributed to the Black Hand are reallj
committed by this organization," said
a prominent Italian resident of Sha
mokiu Saturday. He said, liowever,
that without doubt the society was
organized in the county. Asked how
many ItaliauH belonged to it lie said
that there were at least iitfy in that
region. It is the belief that this org
anization is in direct communication
with the New York and Philadelphia
branches of the society and that its
members who commit crimes are spirit
ed away to comrades in these cities
and are safe from retributive justice
as though the earth had swallowed
them up.
Secret service men sent out through
the collation of the district attorneys
of No w York, Philadelphia and Luz
erne county are expected to end the
regin of terror that the Black Hand
lias exercised for some time in the east
ern States.
A not work of special police is to be
spread for the violators of the law,
which will effectually rid Northum
berland county of them. The plan in
cludes all the counties in the State
where the Black Hand is known to ex
ist. So far the authorities of North
umberalnd county have uot been asked
for cooperation in the scheme but it is
expei'tea that the plan will be made
general.
The Italian above mentioned who is
thoroughly familiar with the system
pursued by the Black Hand said that
very few of the letters supposed to be
sent by the Black Hand are the geu
uine articles. The real Blitcfc. Hand
missive is oulv a spot of paper, black
ened ou oue side and with a skull and
cross bones on the other. Sometimes
the missive states what sum of money
is demanded and how long a time is
given for the accomplishment of the
demands.
"The Black Hand," continued the
speaker,"is a gang of organized high
waymen aud cutthroats. They want
to make monev without working. All
good thinking Italians will be glad to
see it exterminated from this coun
try."

COST OF LIVING
GREATLY INCREASED
The cost Oi living Ims /one up more
than one-third in the put ten years
according to the latest investigations
of the fedoral department of labor in
to facts covering the seventee
perioil ending with 1906
A previous inquiry of the depart
ment covering the same period but
dealing only with the wholesale prices
it commodities, has not only been veri
Beil but so strengthened as to produce
startling results by a consideration of
re ail prices for the same commodit
ies.
The investigation just completed
shows that wholesale prices, consider
ing 258 commodities as a whole,reach
sd a higher level in 1906 than at any

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 that
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
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
