To Whom Does The Call Belong.
Does a calf born of a cow rented
with a form belong to the owner or
the tenant? This very interesting
questiou has come before Justice
Blauchard. of the Supreme Court, and
he says it. will take him a week or
more to decide it, says a New York
dispatch.
Alviu Doughty rented a farm near
Parksville, Sullivan county, New !
York, from a New York City man. It i
wasn't much of a farm; some called
it a "near farm," but it had on it a ■
stock of agricultural implements and
several cows.
One ot these cows last spring gave
birth to a calf, and wlien Doughty
moved from the farm he took the calf
along, since both its parents did not
belong to the owner of the farm, James
H. Marsh.
Marsh seized the calf and placed it
in the barn with its mother. Then
Dougthy got out a writ of replevin,
and that is the way the case came be
fore Justice Blauchard. Farmers up
in Sullivan county are anxiously
awaiting the judicial finding.
The Frog Season.
So vague is the new law governing
the frogging season considered that
aldermen in York have given differ
ent decisions regarding it. In response,
to a request State Fish Commissioner
W. E Meehan lias decided that the
open season extends from July Ist to
November Ist.
CAPTUREU AN
AMERICAN EAGLE
Arthur Oook, son of County Com
missioner Charles W. Oook, on Friday
enjoyed the novel distinction of cap
turing a bald eagle alive. In company
with tils father he was driving into
Danville and was passing through
Warner's hollow near the slope when
he spied the majestic bird among the
water plants evidautly in pursuit of
prey.
The young man at once saw that
there was a possibility of capturing
the eagle and prevailed upon his fath
er to hold up the horse while he made
the attempt. Picking up a couple of
stones he stole within easy range and
proved his skill by hitting the big
bird the first time he tried. Tli.e eagle
endeavored to fly,but, wounded in one
of its wings, was unable to rise.
The young man waded into the
water and succeeded iu capturing the
eagle, which he dragged to the road
side. later placing it iu the buggy.
The big bird, although youug, mea
sured some four feet from tip to tip of
wings, and was pretty hard to handle.
As may be imagined it was not a plea
sant companion iu the buggy and it
required the united strength of the
two men to keep it iu subjection.
Arriving at the farm of William
Ohurm a little further on they were
glad to get rid of the eagle and pre
sented it to the farmer,who imprison
ed it iu his corn crib. During Satur
day and Sunday the bald eagle was the
object of much curiosity,as it was the
first time that many persons ever had
an opportunity of viewing the great
king of birds.
While imprisoned at Mr. Ohurm's
the eagle devoured a chicken, which
was thrown into the corn crib giving
evidence of a most voracious appetite.
Installation of Officers.
The installation of officers took
place on Monday night at Montour
Castle, No. 18l>, Knights of the Gold
en Eagle. The installing officer was
F. M. Herington,district grand chief,
assisted by graud castle officers. The
officers were installed as follows: Past
Chief, B. O. McLftin; noble chief,
John Foulk; vice chief.Herbert Heud
ricks, high priest, Charles Wagner:
venerable hermit, B. F. Foulk; sir
herald, Harry Moyer; ensign, Roy
Van Gilder; esquire, George W. Rob
inson; first guard, Clark Rishel; sec
ond guard, George Gulliver- worthy
chamberlain, William F. Bell, worthy
bard, Dallas Hummer; trustee, John
G. Vastine.
There was a large attendance con
sidering the humidity of the weather.
It was a most enjoyable occasion and
the interest manifested was due to the
aFt accepted , WftS received
Bloomsburg to join them on July 4,in
the participation of their annual pic
nic at Columbia park.
The members of Moutour Castle
with their wives and families will
have the opportunity to enjoy a day's
i outing with the brothers up the river.
The members will bear badges only
and will proceed to the park by way
of the D. & B. trolley.
As It Is Viewed By The Public.
The news that Borough Superintend
ent Gordy had resigned his posi
tion called fortii many expressions of
regret Monday.
The view generally takeu was that
Mr. Gordy should be worth just as
much in Danville as his services would
command elsewhere. It is pretty clear
that in view of Mr. Gordv's attain
ments and the excellent services he
has rendered our schools the school
board would be sustained by the pub
lic if it should place his salary at a
figure that would induce him to re
main.
Tomato Crop a Failure.
Farmers from nearby localities say
that tl)9 tomato crop this year will be
so short that it can practically be con
sidered a failure. The cold weather of
May and .Tune, while it did not actu
ally freeze the plants put out in the
fields, lowered their vitality so much
that the fiercely hot sun of the past
few days has caused a great part of
them to wither.
Personal Work.
Sermons and discourses from the
pulpit are out of date. They must give
way before a new era of "personal
work." This is the belief of the Rev.
Johnston Myers, pastor of the Im
mauuel Baptist church, expressed be
fore divinity students at the Univer
sity of Chicago.
Snake In The Kitchen.
Mrs. Nast, residing at the lower end
of Tharptown,discovered a copperhead
snake, about two feet long, coiled in
the kitchen of her home Saturday
morning, the dangerous reptile being
frightfully close to her two small chil
dren.
Picking up the children she placed
them in the stairway and with a fire ;
shovel and poker killed the reptile.

New Express Wagon.
The United States Express company
has put a new wagon on the street. It
is quite a handsome and serviceable
vehicle manufactured by Lewis Le-
Grande in Wilkes-Barre.
ARGUMENT IN
EQUITY CASE
A session of court was held on Sat
urday with his Honor Judge Evans
and Associates Blee and Welliver on
the bench.
An argument was held on the equity
case of John B. Smith vs. Peter S.
Moser et al. It will bo remembered
that some time ago a preliminary in- I
junction was allowed restraining the
defendants from pumping water out of
lime stone quarries in Derry town- j
ship, the allegation being that land
belonging to the plaintiff contiguous
to the quarries was damaged by the
water.
I Hon. R. S. Ammerman moved that
the injunction be dissolved and in a
lengthy argument adduced a number
of reasons of a technical nature. Hon.
H. M. Hinckley contended that the ex
ceptious were without weightaud that
the whole procedure was regular and
legal.
Judge Evaus made the following 1
order relating to the case :
"And now Juue 29, 1907, rule is J
granted to show cause why the pre
liminary injunction should not be con
tinued. Returnable Saturday, July 6,
1907, at 10 o'clock, a. in."
In re E. B. Wituuui vs. Miua Wit- J
man a subpoena in divorce was allow
ed by the court.
Iu re the estate of William Saul the
petition of the committee to sell real
estate was granted and sale ordered
as prayed for.

Elk's Tooth a Conuention Issue.
A royal battle is expected to occur
at the coming conveution of Elks iu
Philadelphia next month over the
I question of prohibiting the members
of that order from wearing as badges
' the teetli of the noble animal from
which the order takes its name. The
! chief opponent of the practice is Grand
Exalted Ruler Judge Henry Melviu,
who aroused over the wanton slaught
er of the animals, has sent to every
Elks' lodge iu the country a stirring
appeal for the unprotected elks of the
wild, and hopes that enough delegates
will be instructed to vote for his meas
ure at the convention to make it a
law.

Goodrich Post Adopts Resolutions.
Whereas. Gov. Edwin S. Stuart has
seen fit to veto the Cochran Soldiers'
| Service Pension Bill which was al
most unanimously passed by both
i branches of the Pennsylvania legislat
ure recently adjourned; and whereas
1 said bill in our opinion was a just and
honorable and deserving one for the
reason that without auy pauperizing
sections it recognized the honest ob
ligation of the State of Pennsylvania
to her Civil War veterans
Therefore be it resolved by the mem
bers of Goodrich Post No. 22 of the
G. A. R. of Danville, Penna. assembl
ed that we eaiplmtically condemn the
executive veto of this bill, thns re
pu.liatiug the State's obligation to her
defenders of more than forty years ago
and that we only ask the State to hon
or a just debt before appropriating
vastly increased sums for experiment- j
al charity work to be administered
and distributed by numerous high sal- !
aried philanthropists with orgauiza- !
tion influence. Further be it
Resolved, That to Hon. A. K. Mc-
Clure we propound the following
arithmetical problem to be solved by
the rule of proportion viz: comparing
the SIO,OOO annual salary of clerk of
the Supreme Court of Penna. with the
$75.00 in gold average annual salary of
a private soldier in the war for tho
preservation of the Union; is the ad
ditional compensation provided by
the Cochran Service Pension Bfll for
the benefit of the Survivors of Penn
sylvania's Civil War Veterans exces
sive or not? Further
Resolved, That a more substantial
appreciation of our services in lieu of
so much sympathetic apprecation will
be much more gratefully appreciated
by us.

DANGER IN DELAY
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous f'r
Danville People to Neglect.
The great danger ot kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache, head
ache, nervousness, lameness, soreness,
lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow
in merciless succession. Don't neglectj
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
"the certain aud safe remedy Doau's
Kideuy Pills.
Henry Collins, moulder, of 445 N.
6th St., Bloomsburg, Pa., says:"For
years I suffered with kidney com
plaint, backache and bladder weak
ness. I used all binds of remedies but
none of them semed to have anv bene
ficial effect. The secretions from the
kidneys gave me constant annoyance
aud bothered me night and day. My
btck became so wrak and painful
across the loins that I could scarcely
get about, at times. I have had to lay
off from work time after time. X saw
Doau's Kidney Pills advertised in the
papers aud very highly recommended
by people that I knew. I obtained a
box aud used them as directed. 1 nev
er had anything act as promptly iu
inv life The first box cured me of the
paiu and weakness. I kei ron taking
the remedv until I had iwd four boxes
when the bladder weakness left me. 1
have had no trouble with the kidney
secretions foi at least two years. I con
sider Doau's Kidney I'ilis worth their
weight iu gold."

The Coldest June on Record.
The weather bureau at Washington
Sunday night aunouueed that the
! month just closed was the coolest June
iu the last thirty-five years, and that
j the same is probably true of New Eug
j laud, the Middle Atlantic states aud
: the lower lake region. Iu other parts
| of the United States the temperatures
: were also lower than usual. The
| bureau's official statement says in ex
j piauation:
"As in previous cold Juue'stho dis
tribution of atmospheric pressure over
the Canadian maritime provinces and
the North Atlantic was such as to
j c.iuse a predominence of ocean winds
| iu northeastern districts aud a block
ade of the continental winds either iu
! the Ohio valley or off the New Eng

OOTING WAS A
FINE SUCCESS
The outing of the missionary work
ers under the auspices of the Woman's
Missionary society of the Grove Pres
byterian church held in the grove
around the latter pleasant house of
worship Friday proved a very suc
cessful affair, quite as enjoyable as
the occasion was novel.
About 150 delegates were present,
representing, in addition to the ladies
of the Grova Presbyteriau church, the
Woman's Missionary societies of Ber
wick, Bloomsburg, Oraugeville and
Mooresburg. The visitors arrived be
tween the hours of 11 aud 12 o'clock.
Previous to that hour the ladies of the
Grove church might have been seen
wending their way to the church ac
companied witli baskets containing
dishes and good things to eat. Tables
were tastefully spread in the grove
aud by the time the visitors put iu an
appearance everything was ready for
dinner.
The meal, through the combined ef
forts of tho ladies of the Grove church,
was a most sumptuous affair and prov
ed a feature of the day's outing sec
ond oulv to the excellent addresses
which followed.
About two o'clock the assemblngo
retired into the church, where the ad
dresses were delivered. The first ad
dress was by Mrs. Bailey, State syuod
iral president, who selected as her
subject, "Service for Christ. " She is
a pleasing speaker and lier remarks
were most convincing. She present
ed her discourse under ttie different
heads of "Holy Service," "Joyous
Service," "Satisfied Service," "He
ward of Service," "Whole-Hearted |
Service" and "Willing Service," ex
plaining and illustrating each hy pass

from religious life.

1111 pert aud Miss Frick. Miss Rupert
is a home missionary from New Mex

sohool for girls at Santa Fe, of which
institution she is a teacher. Her ad
dress was most edifying aud proved a
great inspiration. Miss Rupert was
! formerly from Bloomsburg. The vil
' luge of Rupert was named in honor of
' her grandfather.

OLD CHART
DISCOVERED
An old chart has been discovered
showing the location of graves in the
cemetery on Bloom street, which just
at this time is proving very valuable.
The time stained old sheet was found
among the personal effeots of the late
Lewis Hoffmau,for mauy years sexton
of the church to which the cemetery
belonged.
In view of the probability that the
old burial ground will be condemned
there is more or less activity among
those who have relatives but ied there,
seeking first to locate the nearly oblit
erated graves aud then to arrauge for
the removal of the remains,should the
cemetery be abaudoned.
The difficulty, however, has been to
locate many of the graves. This next
to impossible task has been rendered
somewhat easier by the old chart,
which is iu the possession of Charles
V A merman, Esq. Several citizens
who coutemplate removing bodies
were out in the cemetery with the
chart yesterday aud. although it is
deficient iu some respects, the persous
were surprised to discover that iu each
case iu which they were interested the
chart proved a valuable aid aud that
through it graves were found whose
exact location before had always been
an enigma.

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 urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, 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
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. andsl. sizes.

wonderful discovery
