PURCHASED THE"
FAIR GROUND
Our townsman, E. D. Pent/,, yester
iay purchased the old fair grounds.
His purpose is to rehabilitate the
place, hoping that the town pople and j
the farmers may co-operate to restore
the county fair, which for so many
years was a feature at Danville.
At the dissolution of the Montour
County Agricultural society the fair
grounds fell into the possession of the
late James N. Riehl and at his death
it descended to Mrs. Carrie M. Cress
rnau, from whom it was purchased by
Mr. Pentz.
The tract coutains over seventy-six >
acres, thirty-acres of which are wood- i
land. The woodland lies east of the j
fair grounds proper, which, as will be j
seen,comprises but a small part of the !
tract.
The buildings used by the fair are !
no longer standing,but the race course, j
which is one of the tiuest in the State, \
still remains and is in very good con
dition. Mr. Pentz is one of those who j
very much deplore the fact that Mon- j
tour county is without an agricultur- j
al exhibition.
In view of the enormous exodus of 1
our people each autumn attending the
fairs at Bloomsburg and other places
it can not be urged that the citizens of
Montour county would not patronize
an agricultural fair at home, provided
that it were rightly managed and made j
to embody ibe proper attractions.
While the fair ground is still intact
iud available Mr. Pentz thought it
would be a good policy to secure it by
purchase, hoping that enterprising i
business men and farmers would ap- !
plaurl his act and fall in with a gen
eral movement to rehabilitate the fair, j
if possible raising it to a higher staud- j
ard than ever was attained by the ex- j
hibitious of the Montour county agri- j
cultural society in the past.
Aloug with his purchase Mr. Pentz ;
received a very interesting old deed
given with the tract when it was sold j
by the late Thomas Beaver to the !
Montour county agricultural society |
in !BTJ. The exact contents of the 1
tract as jjiveu in the deed are 76 acres
and 84 perches. The consideration
named was (en thousand dollars. The
deed is signed by Thomas Beaver and
Elizabeth Heaver, his wife.
Rural Phone Will Expand.
The annual meeting of the stockliolci- 1
ers of the Peoples Ideal Telephone
company at Strawberry Kidge yester
day was a most successful and well at- 1
tended event.
The election of olHcers for the ensn- !
ing year resulted in the choice of the i
following : President, Lloyd Bomboy,
vice president, Dr. Shumau ; secretary, i
D. A. Cox; treasurer, J. W. Lowrie;
trustees, B. G Deuuen, S. O. Har- |
trauft, Charles Shires, Sr., J. Miles 1
Derr, Lloyd Bombov, Allison Essicb, j
Levi Fortner, Boyd Trescot and S. S. 1
Pelling.
Plans were discussed yesterday fori
big extensions to the Peoples lines. i
..Work will begin today on a line to
Millvil'e, for which it will be noces- I
sary to build about six miles. Ten men
will be pat on the job, and it is ex- I
pected to finish in four or five days.
Among the other places that will be
reached in the near future by the Peo
ples lines are Milton, Watsontown and
Dewnrt Then the lines will be push
ed onto Muucy.
The ladies of the Reformed churoh
of Strawberry Ridge served the dinner
to the men present at the meeting. It
was a fine meal, and much appreciat
ed. The meeting was well attended,
subscribers being present from all over
the line.

RESTRAINED BY
TDE COURT
j On application of John B. Smith
i Judge C. C. Evans has granted a pre
liminary injunction restraining Peter
Moser et. al. from pumpiug the water
out of the large limestone quarries
near Washingtonville
The plaintiff, John B. Smith, shows:
First, That he is the owner of a large
farm situated in the township of Der
ry, which is adjoining the premises
of the defendants, Peter S. Moser,
Morris Moser and Hannah Elizabeth
Moser.
Second, That the defendants have
set up and are now using a steam en
gine to pnmp water out of a large res
ervoir and causing it to flow on and
over the plaintiff's land, thereby caus
ing him great damage and preventing
him from tilling the soil in the usual
and ordinary manner, whereby the
plaintiff will suffer irreparable injury,
if the defendants are permitted to
continue to thus discharge the said
water on plaintiff's land as they
threaten to continue to do.
Third, That the plaintiff is inform
ed and believes that he lias not an ad
equate remedy at law and can only be
protected from irreparable injury and
loss by preventing the defendants and
their employes from further causing
the said water to be thrown upon his
land
Wherefore the complainant prays:
First, That said defendants may be
restrained by injunction, preliminary
until hearing and perpetual thereafter,
enjoining and restraining the defend
ants and their employes from further
throwing the water on lauds of the
plaintiff.
Seooud, That the defendants be re
quired to compensate the plaintiff for
all damage and costs that he has sus
tained by reason of the defendants al
lowing water to accumulate and pump
ing the water and causing it to flow
ou plaintiff's grounds.
Third, General relief.
Mrs. J. A. Good Passes Away.
Mrs. Jackson A, Good,a well-known j
resident of Mahoning township, de
parted this life at 3 Tuesday j
morning after a protracted illness. j
The deceased is survived by her hus- I
band and one daughter, Mrs. J. M.
Sliultz.of Cooper township ; two grand
daughters, Edna and Alda Sliultz; al- ;
so by three sisters, Mrs. Caroline Dye,
ofJTurbotville; Mrs. Mary Maust, of
Swenoda; Mrs. Thomas Cole, of East I
Danville,and three brothers, John, Ja
cob and William Diehl, of Exchange.
The deceased was aged 73 years, 4
months and 1 day. Before marriage
Mrs. Good was Miss Elizabeth Diehl.
She was confirmed by the Rev. W. A.
Gring of the Reformed church of
Strawberry Ridge. Later she became
a member of the Reformed church of
Danville. Ou November 32, 1555 the
deceased was married to Jackson (iood
of East Danville.
For many years the deceased, along
with her husband, resided ou Bloom
road a short distance above the bor
ough line, where they owned a pleas
ant home. During last winter both
Mrs. Good and her husband became ill
and were confined to their home for
many weeks.
As spring approached Mr. and Mrs.
Good at the solicitation of their
daughter temporarily took up their
residence at the home of the latter in
Cooper township. Here both remained
quite ill for some time, but Mr. Good
finally became convalescent. The de
ceased, however, coutinued to grow
worse until death ensued.
Danville Affected by 2 New Laws.
Among the bills signed by the gov
ernor during the past week were two
that will affect this city, and the en
forcement of both will be attended
witli considerable interest. They are
bills relative to the payment of jurors
and witnesses in court and to the kill
ing of untagged dogs.
The former bill will suit many peo
ple. At present a juror gives a full
daj T in court for only fa, which is
certainly not the most remunerative
kind cf A'ork. The witness is even
more poorly paid, getting $1 a day. Of
course tYiere are some witnesses who
like togo to court so well that #1 a
day is as big pick-up in their eyes,but •
serve as witnesses from time to time
there are also persons who have to and
to do so for so small a return is an
actual hardship. The new law in
creases the juror's pay to $2.50 a day
and the pay of witnesses to $1.50 a
day.
The dog law is one that the author
ities expect to have to enforce here,
although up to the present they have
not received the full text of it and do
not kuow just how far-reaching it is.
The brief title of the bill sets forth
that it is to provide for the killing of
I dogs that run loose, wearing no col
lars containing tags that are to be
proof that a tax on the dog has been
: paid. Dauville has dogs in plenty and
1 a few to spare,aud there are those who
will uot regret the killing off of a
' certain percentage of them in a legal
1 manner.

STUART SIGNED
TROLLEY BILLS
Saturday the governor approved the
Hnmslier trolley eminent domain bill,
which followed at some distance the
trolley freight-carrying bill, two mea
sures that were fought for through
m:iny legislative sessions. The Homs
her bill gives a trolley company the
right of eminent domain when flfty
ouo per cent of the owners of the prop
erty proposed to be occupied give their
consent.
An echo of the inter-State commerce
commission's exposure of the manner
in which officers and agents of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company held
stock in coal companies which were
favored by them, came when Gover
nor Stuart approved the Reynolds bill
forbidding those officers, employes or
agents of any railroad company oper
ating within this Commonwealth,who
have charge, directly or indirectly, of
the distribution of cars to shippers
thereon, to own or have any interest,
directly or indirectly, in any operated
coal property or in the stock of any
mining or manufacturing company
along the line of such railroad, mak
ing the violation a misdemeanor and
providing a punishment for the same.
The penalty is from $250 to {I,OOO and
imprisonment from three months to a
year, or both, at the Court's discre
tion. The Kiess bill to prevent steam
railroads from gobbling up competing
trolley lines was also approved by
Governor Stuart. It provides that no
railroad corporation of this State shall
hereafter acquire, purchase or gnarau
tee tho stock,bonds or other securities
of, or lease or purchase tho franchise
ot, or in auy way control, any stroet
passenger railway corporation owning
or having under its control a parallel
or competing line. The penalty for the
offending corporation or its officers,
directors or agents is a line of "not
more than $5.000."
The Life of the Workingman.
It seems a great pity that modern
industry pays so little attention to
human life. It is true that fatal ac
cidents will happen under the best
possible conditions, but it is also true
that carelessness, or worse, is respon
sible for the sudden ending of many
a life that under other and more fav
orable conditions would have been
useful to the world for many addition
al years.
Since hupian life cannot be restored
once it is taken, and since the life of
the workman may be of the utmost
importance to a dependent woman and
her little children, the growing prac
tice of laying the foundations of great
structures in the blood of the mechan
ics and laborers who build them should
be made so expensive that contractors
will take special pains to prevent ac
cidents. If ordinary humanity does
not count foi anything the pocket
nerve should be touched.
The State owes a duty to the wives
and children of workinyinen. It
should not offer a premium for care
lessness, but it should insist upon pre
cautions which will shield the worker
from the more common risks and give
him a better chance for his life than
has been the case during recent years.
The State should insist that certain
simple and ordinary precautions be
taken to reduce mortality from acci
dent. Surely the life of a man ought
to tie as valuable as the comfort of a
blooded animal.
As we have admitted, accidents can
not wholly 118 prevented. Some men
invite death by reckless carelessness.
But tho ordinarily careful man, tho
one who looks out for himself because
lie feels that his life is valuable to
others,has a right to all the protection
that can be giveu him considering the
circumstances under which his work
is doue. There is some reason to be
lieve he is uot getting it in the Unit
ed States to-day.
Cured Hemorrhages.
A man who is in perfect health, so
he cau do an honest day's work when
necessary, has much for which he
should be thankful. Mr. L. C. Rodg
ers, of Hrauchton, P«., writes that he
was not only unable to work, but he
couldn't stoop over to tie his own
shoes. Six bottles of Foley's Kidney
Cure made a new man of him. He
says, "Success to Foley's Kidney
Cure." For sale by all dealers.
Funeral of Mrs. Shepperson.
The funeral of Mrs. William T.
Shepperson took] place Tuesday after
noon from the family residence in
Riverside at 3 o'clock. The services
were conducted by Rev. John Couley
Grimes, pastor of the St. Peter's M.
E. church.
The pall bearers were Dr. A. T. De-
VVitt, Oliver Hoover, John Conway and
li. B. Bird. The floral tributes were
many ami beautiful. The choir of St.
Peter's was present at the funeral and

Vernon cemetery.

All stomach troubles are quickly
relieved by taking a little Kodol after
each meal. Kodol goes directly to
the seat of the trouble, strengthens
the digestive organs, supplies the nat
ural digestive juices and digests what
you eat. It is a simple, clean, pure,
harmless remedy. Don't neglect your
stomach. Take a little Kodol after
eaoli meal and see how good it makes
- you feel. Money back if it fails. Sold

ROMANCE 3NDS
j MARRIAGE
The happy conclusion of a romantic
courtship was reached Saturday even
ing when Peter BiUmeyer, of Liberty
township, was married to Annie F.
Oummings »t the home of the bride in
Sunbury.
The c«remony was performed by the
Rev. O. G. Morton, of the First Pres
byterian church, in the presence of
ttie immediate families of the contrast
ing parties. At the conclusion of the
ceremonv an elaborate wedding supper
was served. The couple left on a mid
night train for a short wedding trip,
after which they will settle on Mr.
Billmeyer's farm in Liberty township.
Mr. BiUmeyer and Miss Oummings
were sweethearts when they were chil
dren and attended school together.
When Mr. Billmeyer went to live on a
farm their intimate friendship was
broken off and it.was many ye»rs be
fore they met.each other again. Re
cently Miss Oummings paid a visit to
some friends in Montour county. There
she met. Mr. Billmeyer, who had so
prospered that his farm had become
one of the best in this section. They
renewed their old friendship, which
resulted in marriage Saturday even
ing. Their many friends will wish

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Tii r Unceasing Work Keeps Us Stioiig
and Healthy.
Ail the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys tilter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms—pain in
the back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hearing,
dizziness, irregular heart, debility,
drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the
urine, etc. But if you keep the filter
right you will have no trouble with
your kidueys
Augustus Hawn, 1i27 Second St., ,
Huntingdon, Fa., says:"lt was about ; j
three years ago that my kindeys first
began to give me trouble. The disease
grew on me gradually and constantly |
became worse until it leached a stage !
of soverity that when I got up in the |
morning sharp stinging pains would
catch me iu the back and the action of
the kidneys became very regular and
there was a hot burning sensation dur- ■
iug passage of the secretions. I tried
all kinds of medicine but nothing
seemed to do me any good. At last I i
decided to try Doan's Kidney Fills and
found such prompt and unexpected re
lief that I fei'l warranted in recom- j
mending this remedy to other suffer- i

Shot by a Flobert Rifle.
Frank, the little son of George Hoff
iiiau, was shot by a flobert rifle yester
day, the ball taking effect in his throat
and producing a painful, if not a dang
erous wound.
The affair took place on Montour
row. Frank was playing with several
other lads, among whom was a j
boy with a flobert rifle. Just what
took place could not be ascertained
last night, but it is certain that the
rifle was discharged, accidentally or
otherwise, and that the bullet struck
young Hoffman in the throat.
Dr. E. A. Gurry was quickly sum
moned. He found that the ball had
struck the boy on the throat passing
through under the skin but not pene
trating the windpipe. After piercing
the throst the bal. struck the boy's
shoulder, producing a painful wound.
Dr. Curry treated the injuries and
it is not likely thai any serious effects
will follow although the call was a
very close one indeed.
The use of a flobert rifle or of any
other kind of a toy firearm is strictly
prohibited by law, a fact which the
boy who caused the accident, would
do well to remember.
Bert Barber, of Elton, Wis., says"l
have only taken four doses of your
Kidnev.and Bladder Pills and they
have done for me more than any other
medicine lias ever done. I aui still
taking the pills as I want a perfect,
cure." Mr. Barber refers to DeWitt's

Haccainureate Sermon at St. Pauls
Kev. M. K. Foster, I). D., preached j
the baccalaureate sermon to the high
school class of 'O7 at Saint Paul's M.
iK. church Sunday eve. The spacious
auditorium was crowded.
The class, followed by the faculty
and the school board, filed into the
| church promptly at 7:30 o'clock and
i was assigned to seats iu the front part
of the church. The ushers were Miss
, Elizabeth Vastiue.Miss Grace Shepper
[son, Harold McOlure and William
| Hancock.
! The sermon was founded ou the sS)th.
and 60th. verses of the 11K psalm : "I
I thought on my way aud turuod my
j feet unto thy testimonies. I made
haste and delayed not to keep thy
commandments."
; sermou was a most masterly ef
ort, appropriate, eloquent and abound
ing iu sentiment that could not fail to
appeal to the class. It is safe to say
I that the thoughts advanced made ini
i pressions that will linger for years.
There was special musio by the
| choir, including a vocal solo by Miss
| Margaret Ammerman.
If you will make inquiry it will be
a revelation to you how many succumb
to kiduey or bladder troubles in one
form or another. If the patient is not
beyond medical aid, Foley's Kidney
Cure will cure. It never disappoints.

Driver Thrown Out of Wagon.
Alfred Fisher, a young man iu the j
employ of William Foust, tenant on the j
farm of Hon. .Tames Foster, Mahoning
township, was injured in a runaway
last Saturday morning.
He was driving up Bloom road witn
two liorses hitched to a farm wagon.
When near the culvert just above the
borough line the team took fright at
au automobile and became unmanage
able. Zigzagging from right, to left
the horses ran up the road and when
near Hellers store threw the driver out
of the wagon.
Mr. Fisher fell heavily to the
ground. He was unable to arise but
lay helpless while the horses continu
ed their flight. Several persons ran to
the youug man's assistance and helped
him to arise. They wanted to send for
a physician, fearing that his back was
broken. The youug man insisted that
he was not seriously hurt and in a
short- time recovered from the worst
effects of the fall. He is still suffering
from several bad bruises, which seem
to be the extent of his injury.
The runaway team was brought to a
sudden stop by running against a trol
ley pole when it was easily caught.

Twenty Deaths Last Month.
The report of the local registrar to
the bureau of vital statistics for the
mouth of May reveals that measles,
which were so prevalout during the
winter and spring, are now rapidly
dying out. Only two cases were re- j
ported during May.
Neither did any other communicable
disease prevail to any extent. Three
cases of diphtheria ami two cases of
scarlet fever were reported. There
were uo deaths from these diseases.
One case of .typhoid fever was report- j
ed, which was attended with recovery. ,
Twenty deaths occurred in tho dis
trict during May; of these four occur
red at the hospital for the insane.
Daring March and April, each month,
only seventeeu deaths occurred in the
district.
The favorable showing as relates to
! typhoid is especially gratifying. In
April it will be recalled there was no
typhoid fever reported, lu April,
neither was any diphtheria reported in
Danville, although an outbreak occur
| rod at Mausdale. The threa cases of
that disease reported during May pro
bably owed their origin to the out
: break at Mausdale. All the cases are
1 now well advanced toward recovery
! and the disease is practically [stamped
out in Danville.
There is no case of indigestion, no
matter how irritable or how obstinate

\ the use of Kodol. The main factor in
: curing the stomach of any disorder is
rest, and the only way to get rest is
to actually digest the food for the

RAILROAD BILLS
SIGNED BY STUART
Common carrier corporations in this
State will hereafter be nuder the sup
ervision of a railroad commission.
Governor Stuart has approved the
Dunsmore bill, providing for the ap
pointment by the governor of such a
commission. While this bill does not
givo the commission power togo after
the companies' rates, yet it has power
to recommend that the attorney gener
al take action, and it is hardly to be
supposed that he would disregard its
public recommendations.
The commissioners will consist of
three members, at SB,OOO a year each,
and a secretary, marshal and clerical
force are provided for, and there can
be no doubt of their constitutional j
authority to draw salaries.
Following np his approval of the ]
railroad commission bill, the governor j
approved four bills providing legisla- j
tion to enforce four provisions of the !
constitution which have practically j
been a tlead letter since 1874, when the |
constitution was adopted, as follows; !
Prohibiting common carriers from
directly or indirectly engaging in j
mining or manufacturing articles for |
transportation over their lines, or
holding or acquiring lands, "except
such as are necessary." Tiie bill does •
not affect railroads or canals uot ex- j

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
"nhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesand rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
