THE ORIGIN
OF MEMORIAL DAI
The origin of Memorial day is due j
to au obscure German soldier who \
fought for t'ie union during the Civil
war, hot whose name is unknown.
This man, about May 1, 1868, wrote to
Adjutant General Chipmau, of the
Grand Army of the Republic, nien-J
tioning the touching custom prevail
ing in Germany of decorating each j
spring the soldiers' graves and urging
that the plan lie adopted in this coun
try.
The first instance when graves were |
decorated in this country is said to j
have been iu Mississippi in 1864, while
the war was still progressing.
Tlie following year, one James Red
path, organized a procession at Charles- j
ton, S. C.. of white aad colored sol j
diers and two thousand citizens all of j
whom carried flowers which they J
placed on the union graves in that vie- j
initv.
The first time the custom was ob- j
served in any northern State is belie v-1
ed to have been at Waterloo, N. Y. in J
1866, when General Murray escorted
the veteraus of his post to the ceme- I
tery and decorated the graves. Iu 1867,
T. C. Campbell, of Cincinnati, quart
ermaster general of the G. A. R..
inarched his post to the graves and
laid wreaths 011 them.
(General Chipmau when he received
the letter from tlie German soldier,
was so impressed that he at once hand
ed it to General .loliu A. Logan, who
was at that time commander-in-chief
of the G. A. R. Logan immediately
promulgated au order establishing
May 30 as '• Decoration Day"to all
the posts iu the United States. It con
tinued to bear this name until about j
1881, when it was changed to"Memor- j
ial Day" by a resolution of the G. A.
R. encampment.
It was at first thought that the cus- i
torn might keep alive bitter memories
of the Civil war, but it lias proved to
have had quite the opposite tffect.
Away ba r :k iu 1868 at one of tlie ceme
teries Post No lit was decorating tlie
graves. While the meu were decorat
ing the graves it was suggested that a
number of Confederate prisoners
should l>3 decorated also. This was
resented by a few and au effort was
made to censure the post, which was !
afterwards dropped. Since that time
011 several occasions Union and Con
federate veteraus have decorated
graves together.

Pirst St., Bloomsburg, says:"The
statement I made iu 185)6 is about all I
can say regarding my experience with
Doan's Kidney Pills. I have not had
any backache since I used thein. Be
fore taking tlris remedy I had 'chills
iu my back across the loins accom
panied by a weakness aud dull heavy
pain in my head as well. I was also
very much annoyed by the too frequent
action of the kicluey secretions. 1 used
many remedies without relief until I
learned of Doan's Kidney Pills aud
obtained a box. They soon cured me
and I have had no return of the trou
bio during the past eight vears. I

Pills with good results and who speak
of them in the very highest terms."

Little Damage by Insects
Officials of the State department of
agriculture say that there has been
precious little damage doue to the
wheat crop in Pennsylvania by the iu
sects. The gieatest harm in this State
appears to have come from the hack
ward weather. Wheat is away behind
aud there is uo telliug just when it
will ripen. As for the famous "green
bug" and other pests nothing is
kuowu of them. A few old time
enemies of the farmer have appeared,
but. their number is comparatively
small.

The Problem Before Stuart.
It is to be hoped Governor Stuart is
a good inathiuaticiau. It will require
some good skillful calculating ami fig
uring, to bring the appropriations
made by the legislature within the
limit of the revenues of the State,and
at the same time not cut appropria
tions so badly needed lor worthy
causes. The schools and the charities
of the State are both most worthy ;
causes. They should have every dol
lar appropriated to thorn. The sums
are none too high to meet the pressing
needs, and to provide sufficient money
to further develop and perfect the
school system., and to make the neces
sary provision for the accommodation
aud care for the wards of the State.
The appropriation bills passed call
for the expenditure of $57,000,000 j
during the next two years The reve- j
nues during that period are estimated
at about $40,000,000. The surplus in
the treasury is about $10,000,000. It
will be necessary for the governor to j
lop oft" at least $7,000,000 from the
amouuts appropriated. This, in brief,
is the problem before Governor Stuart, j
He will have the sympathy of tlie peo
ple of the State in his effort to do the j
right thing,aud allow no worthy cause
to suffer. He needs a just disoriinina- !
tiou aud au impartial sympathy. He j
| is reported to have said that the sls,- I
000,000 appropriated to the schools of j
i the State, shall not bo cut. This is a i
popular fore-word. The governor will
be commended for this decisiou.
The charities fund should also be j
kept intact. Hore is absolute need. !
The governor, no doubt, will so de
: cide. lie will likely cut out items i
for which tliero is no great demand.
The governor is now figuring ou a
difficult problem, an! the people are
watching intently, anxious as to the [
j result. The taxpayers want their
mousy togo where it will do the !
most good, aud where it is needed the 1
most.

DOG'S DEATH
SUGGESTS TREACHERY
Bruuo. the valuable Newfound laud
dog owned by A. O. Amesbury, met
with a tragical death last week. The
clog was a household pet whom uo
money couid have purchased,but aside
I from this fact his death is involved in
a good deal of mystery and there is
some reason for believing that the dog
was put out of the way for a purpose
Bruno had all the characteristic
qualities of the Newfoundland. As a
puppy he came iuto Mr. Aniesbury's
family nine years ago when Master W.
Pi»nn Amesbury was a baby and the
two grow up together. Never did a
dog manifest more devotion for his
master than Bruuo showed for Feuu,
Besides, although all kinduess and
gentleness by day,at night he was one
of the best of watch dogs, keeping a
close eye on the coal yard,and making
it impossible for anyone to euter the ;
premises for the purpose of pilfering |
fuel.
About noon ou Tuesday Bruuo dis- |
appeared. An advertisement was in- j
serted iu the daily paper and every
effort was made to find the dog but
without avail. What made his disap
pearance unaccountable was the fact I
that Bruno was never kuowu to leave
home; rarely, indeed, would lie follow
any of the family two squares away
from the house.
The surprise of the family, there
fore.cau be imagined when toward the
close of the week it was learned that
the dog, wounded by a gun shot, Wed
nesday morning turned up at tlie farm
of Arthur Stectler, Valley township,
several miles from Danville. Mr. Stet- j
tier found Bruno on his porch Wednes
day morning bleeding and nearly
dead. On Thursday the dog died. By
means of the dog's collar Mr. Stetler
discovered the owner.
There was nothing about th.<- dog's
condition to suggest to Mr. Stetler
that he might have had au aftas-k of
hydrophobia or that he was Waffering
from any other cause than the gun
shot wound. Mr. Amesbury is firmly
convinced that foul play iu soaaie form
is responsible for the dog's death.. He
is strengthened in the belief by the
fact that some years ago he had a vala
able dog shot at the coal yard. Mr.
Amesbury does not think it unlikely
that the dog disabled by a gun
shot and then to disarm suspicion was
hauled iuto the country to die.
Mr. Amesbury offers a reward »>f
twenty-five dollars for inforinittioa
which will lead to the arrest and coo- j
viction of the party or parities that
caused tlie dog's death.

MAKING ROADS
TR THE COUNTRY
lliis is the season of "working on
the roads" iu the rural sections audas
a consequence the highways are in
anything but a good condition. As a
matter of fact witli the exception of a
short period in the spring when the
frost is leaving the ground, the roads
at many places are worse than at any
other season of the year.
It is a deplorable fact that in most
of the counties of the Commonwealth
old-fashioned methods of repairing
roads are still ID vogue The ground
is dug loose in tiie gutters ami,wheth
er adaptable or not for the purpose of
road building, is merely thrown op
into the middlr of the highway, where
in times of rain it becomes that much
mod and at all times is a hindrance
»Dd an annoyance to travel. Not un
til the loose earth becomes
under the wheels off is washed back ia*
to the gutters will th# roads thus re
paired be lit for travel'.
Montour is no exception to the otl/
er counties in this respect It is true,
we hare a large nunihsi of progres
sive farmers, wha are esdeavoring to
bring about better and more scientific
methods of repairing highways, but it
."8-very hard for men to getaway from
time-honored methods that* were em
ployed fathers and grandfath
ers The result is that the reads of our
county on the whole are in an un
necessarily bad condition am! a drive
in tl:« country jnst now is apt to be
robbc-il of sow» of its pleasure su that
account.
The reconstruction of the roads un
der the good reads Jaw nffords » fine
object .'«sson to'show how roads oliould
be buil?. The farmers are "looking
oa and 1 , as was- revealed by the dis
cussion at the meeting of supervisors
held iu tfris city last winter, the? see
the superiority hf new methods-over
the old awl it is aot improbable 'jhat
:n course of a few years 'toad
snaking" in the country will undergo

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the 'irinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or baii effects following use of liquor,
wine or bear, 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
bent. Sold by druggists in 50c. and sl. sizes.

wonderful discovery
