NOW OVER NINETY,
IS STILL SPRY
One of the most interesting of the
old folks living iu this section of tiie
State is William Moser, of Pine Sum
mit.
Mr. Moser is ninety-two years of
age, and yet to employ his own words,
he is only, "enjoying second boy
hood." Twelve years ago he was in
feeble health,but his condition gradu
ally improved, until uow lie is well
and hearty.
He is a Mexican war veteran and
draws a pension of twelve dollars a
mouth for that service. He is also a
Civil war veteran, having a long and
honorable record in that conflict.
Mr. Moser was born at Allentown,
Pa. on the twenty-second of February,
1816. His parents died while lie was
quite young. Iu his boyhood days he
worked in tiie woolen mills of Phila
delphia and Bethlehem. He then came
to Danville and worked here and at
Washingtonville. At one time he was
a driver for Joseph Gilbraith, hauling
ore to the furnaces at lied Point aud
Roaring Creek.
Iu 1846 he enlisted in tiie Danville
guards for the Mexican war,in Co. C,
Captain John S. Wilson. The com- i
pany joined the Second Pennsylvania j
Infantry. Colonel Roberts in com- !
maud. He went to Mexico and fought j
under General Scott until tiie end of !
the war.
He then returned to Danville where j
KA litmri until tU litH. .1.. r „» j
1861, when lie enlisted in Co. C,
Eighth Pennsylvania Infantry, three j
mouths men. After the expiration of
the three months service he again en- ]
listed in the One Hundred and Six
teenth Infantry, three years service
and fought in all the general engage
ments of the army of tiie Potomac up
to tiie battle of Gettysburg. At the
expiration of the three years service j
he was honorably discharged and re- !
turned to Danville. Soon after he loc
ated near Unityville.
For the last twelve years he has liv- j
ed in the vicinity of Pine Summit. He
was married twice, had three children
by his first wife and eleven by his i
last. Twelve of his children are still !
living. He has thirty-two grandchil
dren and twelve'great grandchildren. J
Articles Stol-u from Porches,
This i.the season of the yesar when
porcli thieves operate and from all ac- i
counts tiie same old gang is abroad.
They find many tilings to pilfer, such
as cushions, rugs, carpet and now and j
then a chair.
Several thefts have been reported at 1
places where articles were thought- j
lessly left on the porch when the fam- i
ily retired. At one house during a
couple of nights past a small rocking j
chair was missed, while another fam- \
ily laments the loss of two strips of j
carpet nearly new. The thefts are i
precisely the same as have been report
ed during summer for years past.indi- |;
eating that there is a gang of dis- I
honest people in town who make it a !
practise of prowling through the j i
streets at night to see what may have j
been left on the porches by unsuspect- \
ing people. They are thieves who > i
undoubtedly at other seasons turn ' i
their hands to robberies in which j |
more daring aud ingenuity are requir- j i
ed.
Thoughtful persons hereafter, on 1
retiring will see to it that all articles !
that have auy appreciable value are i ;
removed into the house. Meanwhile it i ,
is to be regretted that the thieves can i I
not be detected and be made to pay ,
the penalty by serving a term in |
jail.

- SUSTAINED BROKEN
■: COLLAR BONE
Abraui Keefer is confined to his
houie, North Mill street, as the result
of an accident, which befell the stock
train at the Reading Iron works on
Friday evening.
Mr. Keefer, who was formerly em
ployed as driver of one of the wagons
at the big mill, about a week ago be
came a brakeman on the stock train
made up of small engine and dump
cars which may be seen at all times
1 plying backward and forward about
the mill.
About halt past live o'clock Friday
evening ttie little engine was bowling
along witli a lot of "empties" when
the coupling happened to fall, catch
ing in the cross ties, which had the
effect of throwing a car off the track
over against the clay house. Mr. Keef
er, the brakeman, happened to be in
sucli a position that he was caught be
tween the car and the building. The
weight of tiie car rested squarely on
his breast and lie was pinned fast.
He was extricated as speedily as
possiblo, when it was found that he
was badly injured. He was removed to
his home and Dr. P. C. Newbaker
was called. An examination revealed
that his right collar bene was broken,
ttiat his entire breast was bruised, in
addition to which there was danger of
internal injury. He suffers much pain
at times.
Grips and feet Off the Seats.
The conductors and members of
crews iu the passonger service ou tiie
Pennsylvania railroad were certainly j
having their troubles at present due
to the enforcement of an order issued
from general headquarters and clashes
between tiie railroad men and the'
traveling public are daily occurrences, j
Some time ago an order was issued !
directing the conductors that from the !
date of the issuing of the order pass- '
engers would not be allowed to place j
grips, suit-cases or bagagge of any de- j
scription on seats in passenger cars, '
that seats would not be turned to be J
occupied by less than four persons and \
passengers would not be allowed to |
rest their feet ou the car seat.
The conductors and members of their
crews were not overly anxious to str
ingently enforce the new order,know- j
ing full well that there would be
storms ahead and they did Jnot desire j
to court trouble. This fact was no j
doubt learned byjthe company officials j
for letters were sent out stating in
strong terms that the order must be j
rigidly enforced.
| As a result of this last letter receiv
| ed traveling men who are iu the habit
; of taking up an entire seat with their
; baggage or having a seat turned so !
that they can stretch and
1 take a quiet "snooze," are politely
j war talk overflowing with swear ■
j words. Grumbling and growling fol
! lows in nearly every instance, but so
far there have been no reports of per
sonal encounters.
Men Past Sixty in Danger.
More than half of mankind over six- j
ty years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually eularge
i ment of prostate glands. Tiiis is both j
painful and dangerous,and Foleys Kid- i
ney Care should be taken at the first
I sign of danger, as it corrects irregular- j
j ities and has cured many old men of j
this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, ;
Rockport, Mo., writes:"! suffered,

A THOUSAND
AT BILLMEYER'S
Hon. Ai'ex. Billmeyer's fine game
preserve and park has always been one
of the foremost attractions in this sec
tion of the State and the mecca of
tourists, but of late the place seems to
have gained additional popularity,
probably through the publioity given
Jumbo during his recent trip to the
Elks' convention in Philadelphia.
The crowd at the park Sunday was
tiie biggest Sunday crowd of the sea
son. It was estimated that during tiie
day over a thousand people visited the
park and game preserve. They came
from all over the country, Milton,
Watsontown, Lewisburg, Muncy,
Bloomsburg and other places furnish
ing their quota of the gathering. Many
went from Dauvile.
Among the varied list of vehicles
were about thirty automobiles. Many
of those who came to take in tiie sights
brought lunches witii them, and these
were partaken of in tiie park adjoin
ing the preserve. Here also was a re
freslimeut staud, so that tiie place
presented quite a gala appearauce.
On Sunday, August 18th., the Ber
wick fire department will picnic at
Billmeyer's park, going there on a
special excursion train on the S. 15. &
B. On tiie Saturday preoeeditig the
Washingtonville Lutherans will hold
their picnic at the park.
BACK GIVES OUT
Plenty of Danville Readers Have This
Experience.
You tax the kidneys overwork them
They can't keep up the continual
strain.
Tiie back gives out—it aches and
pains;
Urinary troubles set in.
Don't wait longer—take Doan's Kid
ney Pills.
Danville people tell you how they
act.
John Teniauus, puddler.of 301 Main
St., says:"l consider Doau 's Kidney
Pills an excellent remedy li for back
ache. I used them and they cured me
of backache from which I iiad suffered
for years. My trouble was an indes
cribable dull aching painj right across
tiie loins, sometimes my back was so
weak that I could hardly do anything,
and on this account I have had to lay
off work several times. I was unable
to bend or stoop without severe pain
and I was often obliged to catch hold
of something to keep me from falling.
I used liniments aud hot applications
but until I tried Doan's Kidney Pills !
I never had anything to do me any
good. Doan's Kidneys Pills were just
the remedy I needed. I had taken them j
only about three days when my back i
became strong and soon it was as I
strong as it ever was. I have had no
backache or any indication of kidney
trouble since using Doan's Kidnev
Pills.

Thieves Attack Closed Houses.
There are evidently thieves iu Dan
ville who keep track of families which
leave town for a trip to the seashore
or other points and then devote them
j selves to the residences while they are
unoccupied,
i Within a week past would-be-burglars
have been frightened away from three
j different dwellings in one square
I where the occupants were absent At
one place the prowlers returned a
I night or so after the first attack. Iu
j each instance they made an attempt
| to force open a window shutter at the
| rear of the house.
1 111 a house on West Mahoning street
i which had been closed temporarily a
piece of stout wire ingeniously twist
j ed was found inserted in the kevhole
I of the back door yesterday.
The lesson to be learned from this is
that no house should he left entirely
alone if possible to avoid it. In all
cases where it is impracticable to have
the house occupied exceedingly great
I care should be taken to have the doors
and windows well secured.

Oats Crop Is a Good One.
As a general thing the farmers of I
Montour county this week are busy j
harvesting oats. Un many farms a i
mere begiuuing was made last week. |
By the close of the present week there j
will be very little oats standing iu the
fields.
Oats harvest, like wheat harvest, is
a couple of weeks later than usual.
Like the wheat, too.it is a good crop.
Only here and there is a field found
where the oats lias "lodged" to any
extent. At the same time, as a rule,
the straw is heavy; it stands erect and
seems clean and free from rust. The
fields present a beautiful appearance.
The hot nights of summer should be
over uow, if there is any truth in the
saying frequently repeated among the
farmers that cool nights will be the
rule after"the wind begins to blow
over the oats stubble."

INSANE PATIENTS
VISIT CIRCUS
There is nothing too good for the
patients that are incarcerated at the
hospital for the insane. As is well
known Christmas is celebrated at the
institution in a way that carries with
it a full measure of enjoyment, while
Thanksgiving and Fourth of July are
also celebrated in au appropriate man
ner. Naturally, therefore, when a cir
cus comes to town the patients are
permitted as far as practicable to share
in the delights.
Following precedent established
many years ago Friday as many of
the male patients as oould be safely
trusted were taken over to South Dan
ville ''to see the show". The number
permitted to attend filled two trolley
cars and numbered one hundred and
thirty-two. They were in charge of a
physician and fourteen attendants.
That it was feasible to take the iu
saue people to the circus was due
wholly to the courtesy of the manage
ment, which in addition to reducing
the admission to half price argeed that
the patients might enter the tent at
au early hour and remain seated after
the performance until the tent was
cleared. In this way the insane could
be kept aloof from the crowds ingo
ing and coming.
The insane men in charge of the at
tendants left the hospital at about one
o'clock and were safely out of the way
uuder the big tent before the crowd
began to arrive. Having permission to
remain until the tent was cleared they
had the benefit of the concert after the
regular performance free of cost.
No one at the circus enjoyed the per
formance more than the patients and
their demonstrations of delight as the
various feats were performed were the
source of much amusement to that por
tion of the audience that was seated
near enough to see them. They also
enjoyed the trolley ride to and from
the cjrcus especially as it was the first
time that they had ever been taken ov
er the river bridge. They had been
talking of the circus for days and
found much delight in the anticipa
tion of it. It is safe to say that they
will derive quite as much pleasure in
the days to come by reflecting upon
and talking over the different features
of the performance.

Homeless Dog Causes a Scare.
| An exciting mad dog scare occurred j
|in the second ward Tuesday after- j
| noon. The police officers, with loaded !
guns, hurried iu that direction but'
the dog escaped and later returned j
with a clean bill of health. As impli- i
ed above the sudden fright originated j
in a mistake, some persons fancying !
that they saw evidences of rabies iu a !
dog whose ownership was unkuown. j
The scare occurred just before noon, j
Immediately after noon Chief Mince- j
moyer aud Constable Young arming
themselves for the emergency hurried
to the second ward. By that time it
was established that the rabid animal
was a "bum" dog, which had taken
up quarters at the hospital for the in
sane. The only question to decide was
whether or uot the dog was mad.
Evidence finally materialized to show
that.he was free from rabies and that
his suspicious movements were due
solely to the fact that the dog was
strange. He was later heard from at
the hospital, where he had resumed his
old haunts and had for his companions
several other homeless dogs.

Hew Buildings at Hospital.
It begins to seem exceedingly doubt
| ful whether much work will be done
on the new buildings at the hospital
I for the insane this summer.
The trustees of the institution will
i hold another meeting tomorrow, when
no doubt proceedings will take place I
; that will carry the work of prepara- j
I tion a little farther along.
I At the same time it must be remem- !
[ bered that the plans and specifica
tions have not yet been fiually approv- j
ed, after which must follow a period
of several weeks during which adver- j
tisements are running that call for
bids. Considering how slowly things !
are moving and how much time has ;
already been lost it becomes plainly j
apparent that the new work will not
be carried very far before winter sets
in even if the foundations for the j
buildings are laid.
The excavation for the female in- j
firmary is not vet completed,although
an enormous quantity of earth has
been removed. Tlje work is being done !
by the patients, who according to all
indications will have plenty of time
in which to finish the job.

FIRE DISCOVERED
IN Ml OF TIME
The first alarm of fire that was heard
in Danville in many months was
sounded Sunday morning. The
blaze, which occurred at the residence
of Robert Williams, Spruce street, was
extinguished before much damage was
done,although it haa a good start aud
had it not been discovered in the nick
of time would no doubt have destroy
ed the dwelling.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams were enjoy
ing a buggy ride and their son Robert
was at home alone when the fire broke
out. Before starting on the drive Mrs.
Williams placed a roast on the coal oil
stove, which stood on the back porch
just outside of the window opening
from the sitting room. All three burn
ers were lighted.
The fire was discovered by neigh
bors. Henry Grove, who lives near,
hearing the cry of "fire" ran to the
Williams residence and seizing a gar
den hose and attaching it to the hyd
rant soon had a stream of water on the
fire, which had already eaton its way
through the window into the sitting
room and had enveloped the whole
porch.
The Continental hose company quick
ly responded to the alarm, followed by
the Goodwill company. The hose of
the former company was attached to
the plug at the corner of Ferry aud
Spruce streets, but only a little water
was needed, as Mr. Grove with his
garden hose had done very good ex
ecution. The loss all told will proba
bly be a hundred dollars, which is
covered with insurance.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams returned
from their drive about the time the
fire was discovered. It is believed that
a curtain which hung on the outside
of the sitting room window noar the
stove came in contact with one of the
burners.
The window, sash and all, was en
tirely consumed and from this point a
few moments later the fire would have
spread through the interior of the
building.
" We never repent of eating too little,"
was one of the ten rules of life of
Thomas Jefferson, president of the
United States, and the rule applies to
every oue without exception ;during
this hot weather, because it is hard
for food, even in small quantities to
be digested when the blood is at high
temperature. At this season we should
eat sparingly and properly. Wo should
also help the stomach as much as poss
ible by the use of little Kodol for In
digestion and Dyspepia, which will
rest the stomach by digesting the food
itself. Sold by Paules & Co.
Celluloid Collar Caught Fire.
An explodoiug alcohol lamp set fere
to the celluloid collar around the neck
of Howard Yoder, a Numidia store
proprietor, Saturday mom ins, and for
a time his burning to death was threat
ened.
When he realized his collar was in
flames Yoder made an effort to jerk it
from his neck but he was unable to
get it loose. The burning celluloid
stuck to his hands and both were hor
ribly burned. Unable to rid himself
of the blazing collar.it literally burn
ed off Yoder's neck.
By this tiuie the flames had extend
ed to his shirt aud he was helpless to
put them out. His sisters coming into
the store about that time,saw his pro
dicament aud put out the fires on his
clothing.
His eyebrows were singed while his
I neck aud hands were horribly burned.
; He suffered greatly from the shock.
Those who have stomach trouble, no
I matter how slight , should give every
possible help to the digestive oragus,
so that the food may be digested with
the least effort. This may be done by
taking something that contains nat
ural digestive properties—something
like Kodol For Indigestion and Dys
pepsia. Kodol is a preparation of
vegetable acids aud contaiuslthe very
same juices found in a healthy stom
! acli. It digests what you eat. Sold

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Snhealthy 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 tn the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and 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
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty
cent and one-dollar siz

TWENTY DEATHS
LAST MONTH
These are the days when the local
registrar's report to Che bureau of
vital statistics contains nothing start
ling in the way of figures. The rigors
ol weather under which pneumonia
aud kindred diseases flourish have giv
en way to warm and equable weather,
which is conducive to general good
health.
During July one case of diphtheria
was reported; two cases of scarlet fev
er, and one case of typhoid fever.
There were no deaths from any of
these diseases. Measles, which prevail
ed during winter and spring, seem to
have died out, no cases having been
repotted during the last two weeks.
During July there were twenty
deaths reported, seven of which were
at the hospital for the insane. During
June the number of deaths were twen
ty-one, five occurring at the hospital.
During June the number of births
reported was twenty-five, the same as
in May.

The Weasel Crop Continues to Grow.
The weasel crop this year promises
to be about the biggest ou record. On
July 21) th an article appeared in these
columns stating tiiar in the short in
terval between the 17th and the 27th
of July fifty-six pelts of weasels had
been brought into the county commis
sioners' office and were paid for. The
end was by no means in sight.
Commissioners' Clerk Horace C.
Blue Tuesday called a reporter's at ;
tentiou to the fact that iu the ten days'
interval between July 27th aud Tues
day, just fifty additional weasel pelts
had been brought in, an average of
five a day.
Sohuylkill county newspapers are
boasting of the fact that in that coun
ty one hundred weasel pelts have been
brought in since the law went into
effect. To use the language of Mr.
Blue," Montour county has got Schuyl
kill spiked to the track," as up to
date we have one hundred aud six
weasel pelts and our county is net
more than one-tenth as large as Schuyl
kill.
Up to the present the pelts of only
three minks have been presented. Be
sides commanding the same premium
as weasel pelts the minks are valuable
for their fur and money may be realiz
ed ou them from two sources.
