ENTERTAINED BY
SKIDOO CLUB
On the crest of the highest flood of
the summer the Susquehanna Motor
Boat club, of Sunbury, came up to
this city Sunday, where the mem
ber- were guests of the Skidoo clnb.
They had a hard battle with the cur
reut all the way up, but arriving here
were well repaid by the pleasant re
ception and the entertainment that
had been provided.
In the fleet were live launches as
follows; "Elsie May," "Swan,"
"Alice," "Presto" and "Ziz/.az. " In
the party were: Charles Fenton, Tru
man Snyder, Harry Carodiskey, Harvey
Zimmerman, R. B. Baker, Frank
Adams, Earl Snyder, George Fenton
and R. A. Holdern.
The club left Sunbury about 10
o'clock arriving at Danville about 1
o'clock. The river had fallen slight
ly, but it was still about four feet
above low water. Although free from
driftwood the current was a trouble
some factor and held back the boats
very much. The cruise, however, was
made without incident, until the fleet
reached a point just above the bridge
and was preparing to"tie up," when
Harvey Zimmerman, the owner of one
of the launches, while standing up,
lost his balance aud went headfirst in
to deep water. The accident, how
ever, gave him an opportunity to do a
stunt. He was no sooner down than
lie was up; seizing the boat at the very
spot where he tumbled over the side,
by an agile movement, he threw him
self back into the boat, the entire per
formance occupying such little time
that Zimmerman was hardly missed ;
from the company before he was back
into his place again.
The club was entertained at dinner
at the Riverview hotel.
Watsontown Mau Arrested.
A man from Watsontown by the |
name of Fred Grey came over to this 1
city Friday aud before returning met '
with a little adventure, whioh cost
him a round five dollars, although he
claimed that he was out of pcoket a
much larger sum.
The Watsontown mau got hilarious
Saturday afternoon? aud when Con
stable Young undertook toremonstrate
with him lie informed that officer that
he unaided nor all the policemen com
bined would notbe able to" take "hi in.
As a natural sequence be was lauded
in the hastile, without any special
effort. About five o'clock he was hal
ed before Justice Dalton. Fine and I
costs amounted to five dollars, which ;
he paid.
When the mau was removed from the '
lockup he told the officers that he had
lost several thousand dollars since his j
arrival in Danville on Friday night. '
Blacksnake Nearly Ten Feet Long.
The biggest blacksnake killed in
this section for many years past was
despatched by Frank Baylor and a
companion near Wolverton, Sunday.
P. G. Baylor, father of Frank, is au
thority for the statement that the rep- j
tile measured nine feet, ten and a !
half inches in length aud yesterday
stated that the skin might be seen at
his residence, South Danville, if any
one has auy doubts as to the alleged
length.
Frank Baylor and Charles Shelham
nier were strolling over the mountain
Sunday when they came across the
big blacksnake. The monster as soon
as it saw the men made an attempt
to coil itself, assuming the shape
of the letter S aud seemed ready to
stand on the defensive.' It was a for
midable looking object nearly as I
thick as a man's arm.
The young fellows, however, sue- 1
ceeded in killing the snake. Desiring
to carry home something as a tropiiy j
that would compel belief as to the size
of the reptile they decided to skin the
snake. They contemplate getting the
hide tanned.
Returned to Bucknell.
Miss Emma Gearhart yesterday left
for Lewisburg where she will
resume her duties as teacher of
music in Bucknell university. She
will return to Danville tomorrow
evening to assist in the special music
ial exercises of the reopening of
Grove Presbyterian church.

The officers were after "Bill" for
several days last week, hut the fellow
seemed to scent danger and his sprint
ing qualities seem to stand him in
good stead so that in each case he suc

His characteristic sagacity failed
him on Saturday, however, anil just
before the hour of noon lie dropped

Whether or not the former patient
divined that his motives for hanging
around this place were questioned is
not clear, but he assured the chief-of

he became nther violent and abusive
threatening to kill the chief-of-police.

Occasional headache, belching, bad
taste in the mouth, lack of appetite
and slight nervousness are symptoms
of indigestion which, when allowed
togo uncared for, will develop into a
case of dyspepsia that will take a long
time to get rid of. Don't neglect your
stomach. At the first indication of
trouble take something that will help
it along in its work of digesting the
food you eat. Kodol For Indigestion

make your food do yon good and will

only remedy I ever found which gave
me permanent relief from itching piles
from which I had suffered for a long
time. Anyone who has ever had piles
knows what suffering I endured be
fore I used Doau's Ointment. The
burning and itching was almost in
tolerable night and day, and although
I tried dozens of ointments salves and
lotions I got no relief. I heard so
much about Doan's Ointment that I
procured a box. The first application
gave me almost instant relief and in a

paying Danville the first visit in up
wards of thirty-five years.
Such a long time had elapsed since
Mr. Weitzel iiad been heard from that
most people thought he was dead. His
visit to his old home has proven a
pleasant surprise, indeed.
Mr. Weitzel was a musician of mark
ed ability and his playing helped to
briug Stoes' band into prominence.
Saturday he was kept busy hunting up
the few survivors of that oldtime
famous organization, with whom he
had a pleasant chat. The handshake
between the oldtimers was a cordial
one, indeed, and reminiscences were
brought to light that with some of the
members were well-nigh forgotten.

Tax Collector's Job Goes a Begging.
It isn't often the case that a tax col
lector's job goes a begging, but such
is the case at the present time in Cen
traiia, Columbia county. Nobody will
take the job and the Board of County
Commissioners, as well as Solicitor
Rhawn, are in a quandary as to how
to get the taxes collected.
Because of the inability to secure
taxes from the foreigners and from the
floating population of a mining town,
no man can be secured who will give
bond for the amount of the tax duplic
ate which amounts to about SISOO
county taxes and $5500 town taxes.
The result is that but a little over
half of the taxes are collected.
At the present, time Edward Miu
nioh is actiug as a receiver of taxes
but lie will give no bond to collect any
taxes. He will only receive what are
paid to him there.
The result of the county's effort to
get a collector will be watched with
much interest, and it is doubtful if a
man will be secured who will under
take the job.

The copper bar was obtained from
among tlie Indians ot' central Peru,
who had no traditions as to its origin
1 except that it had come down from the
remote past. The bar of tempered cop
per speaks for itself. There is no room
to doubt its true nature or its remote

: simply indestructible and it was no

Centralis Board Again Ousted.
For the second time within two
years the school board of Conyngham
township, Columbia county, was ousted
by court on Saturday. The hearing
was had before Judge Evans at Blooms
burg and the proceedings were most
j sensational. Another board was ap-
I pointed by the court.
Last year the board was deadlocked
on the election of teachers,and failing
to agree the board was removed from
office by the court and a new one was
elected in February. This year again
the board was unable to elect teachers
on account of a deadlock.
In giving testimony Sylvester Beav
er,a member of the ousted board, stat
ed that John Payne, another member,
had called him to his home and offer
ed him SSO to SIOO if hejwould vote for
one, Nellie Gerrity for teacher.
It is thought that criminal action
will result from the ousting of the
board.

Thomas Mcßryan, of this city, was
arrested Saturday afternoon charged
with an assault on Mrs. Charles Diehl.
He was held for court and in default
of bail was committed to jail,
j The information was made by Mrs.
Diehl before Justice of the Peace Dal
ton about 3 o'clock Saturday after
noon. Mcßryan was arrested by Chief
Mincemoyer and placed in the lock-up
until 8 o'clock Saturday night when
he was arraigned before Justice of the
Peace Dalton.
Mrs. Diehl testified that as she was
walking near the corner of Milt and
; Northumberland streets the defendant
i without any provocation committed
an assault upon her. Other witnesses
were examined who testified that they
saw the affair but did not think that
Mcßryan intended to assault the wo
man, but had thrown his hand around
uuiuteutioually.
The justice thought a prima facie
case had been made out, however, and
decided to hold the defendant for
court, which meets on next Monday.

not be rendered for some weeks to
oome.
The first address was made by Hon.
H. M Hinckley representing the D.
L A; W Hailroad com pun v It.was ail j
especially strong effort. The argument
was based ou the testimony adduced
at the previous hearing and therefore
presented nothing that was absolutely
new.
Mr. Hinckley advocated an overhead
crossing. No matter how expensive
this might prove to be.how ineouveni
ent or how unsightly, it was 'pmctio- I
able and necessary, he said, in order
to prevent accidents. He especially
emphasized the danger attending a
crossing at grade. On behalf of the
1). L. Ac W. railroad company Mr.
Hinckley presented plans to illustrate
the feasibility of the Danville and
Bloomsburg line using either Ferry
street or the alley between that
thoroughfare aud Mill street, crossing
the D.. L. & W. track ar either poiut
overhead. He also used a wooden
model to illustrate conditions at the
Mill street crossing.
Mr. Hinckley was followed by Hon.
li. H. Koch,solicitor for the Danville
and Bloomsburg company. Judge Koch
is a clear and forceful speaker. He
was listened to with deep interest as
one by one he met the arguments ad
vanced by the representative of the D.
L. & W. company. The Danville con
tingent was especially delighted when
Judge Koch informed the court that
the Danville and Bloomsburg company
was a "street" railway not an "al
ley" railway. Disdaining both the
Ferry street aud the alley proposition
the speaker proceeded to discuss the
grade crossing on Mill street.
On a grade crossing at that point in
view of conditions existing and mod
ern appliances for safety employed the
speaker declared the element of danger
is scarcely present at all. Taking in
to consideration the lengthy intervals
at which the cars are run and the still
longer intervals between the iiassing
of trains the danger of collision, it
was asserted, is very remote indeed.
With proper precautionary measures
there would be absolutely nothing to
fear.
On the other hand,an overhead cross
ing with its steep grade would afford
an opportunity for mauy a mishap,
which would be sure to result in dam
age to property, aud perhaps loss of
life. In time of electrical storms,
especially, when the mechanism of an
electrical system can not be relied up
on, Judge Koch explained how the cars
might get beyond control aud accid
ents ensue.
Judge Koch emphasized the fact
; that at a grade crossing three persons
are always ou the close lookout for
dauger—the motorman on the trolley
car, the engineer on the train anil the
gateiuan who has charge of the cross
ing. Before anything could occur at
such a crossiug there would have to be
a most remarkable combination of
carelessness involving men*£at three
different posts of duty. Ou au over
hen I crossing on tin* other hand, dan
ger lurks not only iu a failure of the
machinery during au electrical show
er. but iu times of snow fall and sleet
wheu due to these conditions the
wheels ate clogged, the current is (tut
off aud the cars become unmanage
able. With the motorman helpless at
one end of the car and the sand box at
Hie other end, iu view .of the steep
trestliug atid the crowded street be
low the situation becomes oue of ex
treme peiil. From the standpoint of
one experienced iu trolley manage
ment it was explained how oue of sev
eral kinds of bad accidents might oc
cur.
Hon. A. H. McClintock of Wilkes-
Barre made the closing address dwel
ling mainly on the points of law.

Breakdown on Mill Street. !
Thomas Dennen, of Exchange, who
drove into this city with a two-horse
spring wagon, Saturday, met with a
breakdown on Mill street
He was driving near Cole's hard
ware store, when the uear front wheel
became fast in the grove of the trolley
track. He attempted to drive off the
track but the strain on the wheel was
too great and it collapsed, the front
part of the loaded wagon dropping to
the street. Another wheel was pro
cured at Hunt's carriage works and
the trip was completed without furth
er incident.
Cured hay Fever & Summer Cold.
A. J. Nusbaum, Batesville,lndiana,
| writes: "Last year X suffered for three
1 months with a summer cold so dis-
I treasing that it interfered with my
business. I had many of the symptoms
of hay fever, and a doctor's prescrip
tion did not reach my case, and I took
several medicines which seemed only
to aggravate my case. Fortunately I
insisted upon having Foley's Honey
and Tar in the yellow package, and it
! quickly cured me. My wife lias since
used Foley's Honey and Tar with the
