RABIES IN
MAHONING TWP
The hydrophobia scare, which for
some time past has held the people of
Dauville in its thrall,has now spread
beyond the borough limits aud in one
sectiou of Mahoning township at least .
there is great excitement and dread
among the people. Unfortunately bo- j
ing out in the township there is no |
quarantine as iu town to quiet the |
fears of the people.
A gentleman of Sidler hill called on |
the police Saturday aud explained the j
situation there which is anything but
reassuring. It appears that the brindle
bull dog that went uiad in the third
ward Friday made a circuit taking in
Sidler hill. The fact seems pretty well
established that in passiug through
the place the bull dog bit at least ten
dogs. In addition, Mr. Welliver's dog,
which rati amuck on the same day, is
rather more than suspected of biting
several other dogs.
The police department, however,
wiiose authority extends no further
than the borough, is powerless to act
in the premises. Whatever is done to
restrain the dogs on Sidler hill will
have to emauate from some source !
outside the borough.
That there is a scare iu that vicinity
is not at all surprising. Two mad dogs j
trotting through the streets iu one j
day is quite enough to alarm the peo- i
pie. Assuming that the number of
dogs bitten is a.< above stated there
will, no dobut, be a fearful harvest of
rabies before long.
The people owe it to themselves to j
get rid of the dogs that were bitteu. j
No one cau afford to take any chances, j
no matter how great a favorite or how i
valuable the dog was.
The dog which ran amuck in the I
third ward, Friday, the police say, j
was bitten by the dog that went mad j
on September sth. The owner under- [
took to restrain the dog.keepiug it|on '
his own premises. How poorly he sue- !
ceeded is illustrated by the sequel,
when the animal escaped and bit a j
number of other dogs.
The people outside the borough have ;
not the advautage of those living in j
town where an ordinance is in effect
requiring dogs to be muzzled. Al
though, it is true, that a large pro
portion of the muzzles are practically
worthless and too many dogs are not
restrained at all, yet the muzzles, tak
ing them for what they are worth,
have a reassuring effect on the peo
ple'.
The bald truth of the matter is that
both the borough and Mahoning town
hsip is exposed to great danger. At
least,three dogs have developed rabies
in a trifle over a month and ran amuck
on the streets. That a human being
was not bitten along with the large
number of dogs that fell a victim of
the rabid canine is indeed a wonder.
With the quarantine as lose as at pre
sent no one would be surprised to hear
of a person being bitten in the bor
ough at any time. In the township
where the dogs are not restrained at
all the daugei is much greater.
Mr. Steffea Surprised.
A delightful surprise party was held
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Davis
StefTen Saturday in honor of Mr.
Steffen's birthday. Dinner was served
and the time was pleasantly spent with
games and music.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.
Davis StelTen, and family, Walter
Steffen, Albert Steffen, Mrs. Caroline
Rice, Mrs. Levi Moser and family, of
Washingtonville, Harry Moser, Elmer
Steflen, of Ijimestoneville, Mr. and
Mrs. David Kuorr, Mary Deusberger,
Wesley Hartzel, Charles Ashton, Her
man Deusberger, Savannah Knorr,
Bertha Knorr, Miss Emma Ashton, all
of Danville, and MissTillie M. Kinn,

Bought Pittiton Drug Store.
William Webb.pharmaoist at Paules
& Go's drug store and Bruce Edwards
of Bloomsburg, have purchased the
drug store of George Stroll, of Pitts
ton. The new proprietors will take
charge of their store on November Ist.
'While William King, a teamster, of
Waynesburg.Greeue county, was haul
ing pipe on Monday for the Aleppo
oil field, his wagon overturned on a
steep hill and the pipes fell on him,
crushing him to death. He had been
married only six months.
WILL ATTEND
THE REUNION
There is the usual activity and re
vival of enthusiasm iu Danville among
the leading spirits of the Twelfth
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer
Veteran association, or more familiar
ly known as the survivors of the Soan
ish-American war, incidental to the
annaal reunion of that organization,
which will take place at Lewisburg,
on Tuesday, October 29tli.
Dauville sent 106 men to the Span
ish-Amerioaii war, as members of the
Twelfth regiment. A fair proportion
of these are residents of this immedi
ate vicinity. Four have died. Al
though a large number of the surviv
ors reside in Danville the representa
tion from here at [lie annaal reunions
lias been small.
A special effort is being made this
yeat to get up a large contingent from
Danville. There is a good reason for
this. Next year it will devolve upon
Danville to invite the survivors of the
Spanish-American war to hold their
reunion hore, as each of the other
towns embraced by the 12th regiment
has in turn invited the reunion and
done itself proud iu the entertainment
of the veterans.
i This year Lewisburg is making
elaborate preparations to show the
veterans a royal time. The occasion
will embrace a smoker anil a banquet.
001. Coryell,General Gobin and prob
! ably General Stewart will be present.
' Other towns have signified their in
| tention of being'present at tho reunion
with a large representation,
j It now devolves upon the survivors
I at Danville to attend the reunion at
| Lewisburg in a way that will roveal
: real enthusiasm and a general interest
jiu the veteran association. Iu order
j to get the survivors aroused a meeting
| has been called to bo held in the arm-
I ory at 7 o'clock on Thursday night.
On this occasion all arrangements will
! be perfected. The first requisite, there
fore, is that there should be a good
! attendance at the meeting and an ap
peal accordingly is made to the sur
vivors,urging them to turn out on the
occasion even if it be necessary to
practice some self-denial.
Beyond the customary contribution
of one dollar to the entertainment
fund there is no expense connected
with the reunion.

Levi Alleger, baker, of 102 North

Pills than from anything lever used
1 for kidney trouble. About eijjlil years
ago 1 had considerable lameness in my
j back, over the hips and a continual
| aching right over the kidneys. These
piiiis clung to me and increased iu
severity if I stooped or lifted. Oo-
I casionally sharp pains would pass
through me and shoot up between my
shoulders, along my spine. All this
caused me considerable suffering and
unfitted mo for my work. I could not
sleep well at night and in the morning
would arise tired and uurefreshed. I
read about Doan's Kidney Pills cur
ing others and got a box. After taking
them as directed I felt better aud con
tinued the treatment until 1 felt all
right. I made a statement in iSfi'.t iu
which I said Doan's Kidney Pills had
cured me 1 can only reiterate that
statement at this time. I always keep
Doan's Kidney Pills in the house, and j
whenever a cold or a strain brings on i
a tired or weak back they never fail j

MUST BUY OUT THE
STANDARD COMPANY
Borough Solicitor E. S. Qearhart
has presented an opiniou to council
upon the question as to whether or
not the borough of Danville has the
legal right to manufacture electricity
and electrio light for commercial pur
poses. Mr. Gearhart has arrived at
the oonolusion that the borough of
Danville under the law has no legal
right to manufacture electricity and
electric light except for its own ex
clusive use as a municipality.
That the borough hag the clear and
legal right to manufacture electricity
and electric light for its own use is
conceded. In order to determine clear
ly whether the borough can manufact
ure electricity or electrio light for
other or commercial purposes the so
licitor entered upon an extended re
view of certain preliminary record
facts touching on the law and the
charter rights of the Standard Electric
Light compauy of this city.
Section 1 of the act of May 20, 1901,
provides that boroughs shall have the
right to manufacture electrioity for
commercial purposes for the supply
and use of the inhabitants of said bor
oughs and may introduce the arc or
incandescent electric light and said
boroughs may enact ordinances to in
troduce and supply the inhabitants of
said borough who may desire to use
the said electricity in their dwelling
houses, store rooms ami other places
in said boroughs. Provided, that in
all boroughs so desiring to furnish
light, where electric light companies
organized under laws of this Common
wealth are already furnishing
| light to such borough or the public,
| such boroughs shall endoavor and are
| hereby authorized and empowered, to
| purchase the works of such corpora
| rion at such price as may be agreed
upon by councils of said boroughs and
{ a majority iu value of the stock hold
ers of such corporation.
The opinion makes it clear that the
Standard Electric Light company is
such a corporation as that contemplat
ed by the provisions of the act of 1901;
also that the validity of its charter
can not be attacked at this late date.
The law frowns upon that which has
for its logical result the confiscation
of private property
The Standard Electrio Light com
pany and the Standard Gas company
were incorporated on the same day
under the same law, for the manufact
ure of gas and electric light for com
mercial purposes. The two plants be
ing so inter-related that their separa
tion is absolutely impossible, the so
! licitor takes the view that the bor
i ough could not without a great deal
of risk thus purchase the plant of the
j Standard Electric Light company.
Concluding the solicitor states:
"With the manifest injustice done
this or any other borough similarly
situated in the premises, we of course,
have nothing to do. We are simply
j construing the law governing such
cases as wo find it in the books.
"And that the citizens of this bor
ough may be paying an exorbitant
price for their electric light is like
wise a matter with which we have
nothing whatever to do. But in view
of all the foregoing premises and of
the express provisions of this act of
1901, we are of the opinion that this
borough cannot legally manufacture
electricity and electric light for com
mercial purposes for the supply and
use of its citizens until it first legally
acquires this plant of the Standard
Electric Light company as is in the
said act expresly required.
"Whether or not this borough could
grant a legal franchise to another per
son, company or corporation for such
purpose is an eutirely different mat
ter, which we are not called upon to
decide."
EDWAIID SAYRE GEARHART,
Borough Solicitor.
Danced at Inquest.
On Saturday while a coroner's in
quest was in progress in the office of
Alderman Smith, iu Chester, over the
body of Luci Gidou.who was murder
ed on Arbor Day, by Angelo Peazano,
it is charged, an itinerant fiddler en
tered the office and began fiddling
when the Italians who were present
as witnesses in the case began to
dance, the alderman considered this
an improper interruption of his work,
and threatened to have the dancers
and the fiddler arrested, when the
frivolity ceased.

0. S. DEFEATED
JY SDNBDRY
Three touchdowns were soored by
tlje Sunbury high school foot ball
team at DeWitt's park Saturday aftor
noon against the Danvill'o high school
eleven. A fiual score of 17 to 0 made
the visitors victorious and about rep
resents the relative merits of the two
teams.
The game started at 3:80 o'clook,
Sunbury winning the toss and choos
ing the west goal. From the start the
Danville players were forced into the
defensive by the superior tactios of
their opponents and the play through
out the game was largely in Danville's
territory. The Sunbury boys scored
one touchdown in the first half and
two in the second half.
The playing of the visiting team
revealed excellent coaching and hard
praotice, and their team work was of
a high order. While tho Danville
players deserve credit for holding a
team of Sunbury's strength down to
three scores, still the defects of the
play were easily discernible. As in
the previous game the team work, al
though improved, was not good. Dan
ville is weak both in interference and
in breaking up their opponents' in
terference. The high school has the
nervo and the weight, and a little
more attention to tho details of the
game would make the Danville eleven
a hard proposition for the remaining
games of the season.
A large crowd witnessed Soturday's
game, and what is better, the spectat
ors were kept back of the side lines.

Lawlessness at Bloom Fair.
The Milton Standard hns the follow
ing to say concerning District Attor
ney O. A. Small's reprimand to the
Columbia County Agricultural so
ciety :
[ "The success of the Bloomsburg fair
for the past few years appears to have
| made ttie management reckless and in
different to their duty. At the recent
fair not only were gambling privileges
sold but the sal.i of intoxicants was
carried ou on the grounds. District
Attorney Small is after the directors,
who will be held to an accounting. He
will be the best friend the fair as
sociation ever had if he makes it so
I hot that this year's excesses will never
be repeated. The gaming privilege is
the rock upon which scores of prosper
ous and promising fair associations
nave been wrecked. The public will
I not stand for a gambling joint, no
[matter where it is conducted."

Don't Teed the Tramps.
There is little excuse for the exist
ence of tramps in this section,and the
men who are burning about the coun
try, out of employment, are doing so
from choice rather than from neces
sity. Farmers are complaining of scar
city of help ;contractors in many oities
cannot procure a sufficient number of
men to carry out their construction
work. The railroads are short.of'help,
and in fact there are openings for all
who want work. The able bodied man
who goes beggiug from town to town,
few of which species have made their
appearance in tliiß section of late,
should be reminded of this fact rather
than encouraged in their idle course by
gifts from those of whose bounty they
ask.

EXCITEMENT AT
SCHOOL BUILDING
A young man, badly intoxicated,
created great consternation among the
teachers and pupils of the third ward
Bohool at noon Friday. Through it is
interference the schools were prevent
ed from going into session at the us
ual time.
The young man—Harry Forney of
the Fourth ward—took offense at one
of the pupils and entered the build
ing. In an effort to find the boy he
applied at several of the rooms but the
teaohers were too much terrified to
admit him. ' He finally took up his
position on the steps of the building,
which prevented the pupils from en
tering At this juncture the bell rang
summoning the pupils to their studies.
Under the circumstances there was a
general hold-up, those outside being
afraid to enter the building and those
inside being afraid to pass out. There
was great alarm and excitement about
the building, when one of the pupils
was despatched for Officer Yoris, who
indue time appeared on the scene and
took the man into custody.
Forney was placed in the lock-up
until 7 o'clcck Friday evening when he
was arraigued before Justice Dalton,
charged with drnukenness and disord
erly conduct. The defendant pleaded
guilty, but explained that while pass
ing the building he was struik by a
stone thrown by one of the pupils. Ho
was trying to find the offender when
he entered the building.
Fine and costs amounted to nine
dollars which were paid.

Valuation Up $7,000,000.
The total valuation of Northumber
land county, as fixed by ttie county
commissioners acting as aboard of re
vision on the assessors' returns for
11)07, is 1:18,000,000. This amount
which will remain fixed for three
years is $7,000,000 greater than the
triennial assessment of 1904, and the
income of the comity alone has thus
been increased $35,000 per year.
The assessors' returns this year ap
proximated 136,600,000. The board of
revision raised this amount by fl,-
500,000. Praoitcally the entire gain
was on coal mining properties. The
1904 assessment fixed the value of Coal
township at $4,013,000. The assessors
this year made it $7,215,000 and the
board of revision fixed it at $8,027 -
000. Other townships fared similarly
In Shamokiu borough the board tripl
ed the assessors' returns on the coal
lauds, and quadrupled those of the as
sessment of 1904.
The board took active part in fixing
the valuation of the mining properties
after the companies had made their
appeal from the assessors' returns.
And their iaise of $1,500,000 was made
only after an exhaustive examination
of the properties.
The victory of the people can hard
ly be realized says the Sunbury Daily.
That the corporations would ever be
made to pay their share of the county
taxes was always regarded with skep
tical doubt. They iiave ridden rough
shod over the public so long that the
people were beginning to take it as a
matter of course. The commissioners
and assessors showed great courage in
standing by what was right, unmoved
by the powerful interests arrayed
against them.

WILD CATS IN
ONION COUNTY
Buffalo valley. Union oouiity, is be
ing terrorized by a baud of wild cats
which have been making depredations
on nearly every farm iu the valley.
Mrs. Joseph Warmkessel.near Forest
Hill, turned around from her cooking
and faced five fierce looking, battle-
Bcarred cats iu her kitchen. When she
made a move to drive them out of the
house two of the leaders sprang at lier
throat, letting out the most blood
curdling yells. Mrs. Wurmkessel fled
from the room in terror, and the wild
animals made off with a choice Bteak
she was about to cook.
Where these partly wild animals
oame from no one kuows. They first
appeared in this neighborhood aboat
two weeks ago when they raided the
ohicken coop of Thomas Haupt, near
Chappel's Bluff. A loud commotion in
the coop awakened Mr. Haupt about 4
o'clock in the morning. Sallying forth
with his gun he was amazed to see
five cats dashing away over the fields
each with a healthy pullet iu his jaws.
By the time he recovered from his
astonishment the animals were beyond
gunshot.
Several times people in the valley
have been badly frightenod by being
awakened in the middle of the night
by a chorus of yowls. When the dog
belonging to George Watson,of Mazep
pas Mills, charged upon the midnight
prowlers he was almost torn to pieces.
So badly did the quiutet of ravage
beasts dig him that his owner was
obliged to shoot him.
Women fear for their children, as
the animals appear and disappear'as if
by magic, and in their quests for food

September's Coal Trade.
Klack Diamond says the statement
has just been issued showing that the
production of anthracite for Septem
ber was 5,442,334 tons, compared with
4 527,886 tons for the corresponding;
month a year ago. This shows an in
crease of 1114,448 tons. The production
of anthracite to date is 40,615,618 tons
as compared with 40,295,646 tons for
the correspondin« period of a year
ago. This gives an increase of 9,349,970
tons. Regardless of this satisfactory
increase for the month of September
of this enormous increase for the first
nine mouths of the year, it is now
known that the production of anthra
cite does not. meet all ot the require
ments and that stocks on hand have
actually been redaced since the first
ot September. It is recalled that prior
to that time the showing was that it
had been impossible for the companies
to collect the usual amount of stocks
before the end of the summer. This
light amount of coal in storage and
the extraordinary demand at the pre
sent did not promise an abundance of
coal for the coming wiuter. This em
phasized by the statement that steam
users are taking to anthracite coal
more than ever to get away from tho
bothersome smoke ordinance in var
ious cities. The movement to New
England points hiw been as heavy as
the railroads and boats would permit
and the same is true to the movement
up the lakes. The shipments to west
ern inland markets have been so heavy
that the boy cars could not be prcvid
ed and some of the companies have
been using open cars which have been
sent as far west as Toledo and De
troit.

SAIL) HE WOULD
ROT IN JAIL
Charged with neglecting to support
his insane wife who is confined in the
Danville hospital, and with persist
ently refusing to do so, Jacob Keefer,
of Bloomsburg was arrested at the in
stance of the poor board of that town.
When taken before 'Squire .Jacoby,
Keefer appeared to be very angry, He
said 'he had no money and wasn't
earning enough to support her al
though the amount required was only
$1.75 per week. He said he would
have $3,000 when she was dead, and
if the poor board put him to jail the
district would never get a cent of the
money.
The justice told him that lie did not
want to send him to jail, but if he re
fused to make some kind of a provis
ion for the support of his wife, he
would have to.
"I'll die in jail first," was the re
sponse,and the 'squire started to make
out the commitment papers.
"Don't you want to get bail?" said
the 'squire.
"I'll ask no man for bail, I'll stay
iu jail all my life first," he continu
ed:
Another effort was made to decide
the matter amicably, but he persisted
in stating that at the present time he
could not pay $1.75 per week.
Finally, however, after the justice
had given him another bit of a<lvice,
he did decide to get bail which was
secured without any trouble.
Poor Director Drake stated that Mrs
Keefer had been the uufortunte victim
of insanity and had beeu in the asy
lum for six years that, the board knew
of, and that its duty to the taxpayers
demanded that an effort be made to
force Keefer to provide for her sup
port, instead of having the district
pay it. The case, unless it is fixed up,
will go before the court.
Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri
can inventor says: ' Fully eighty per
cent, of the illness of mankind comes
from eatiug improper food or too
much food: people are inclined to
over-indulge themselves." This is
where indigestion finds its beginning
iu nearly every case. The stomach
can do just so much work and no more
aud when you overload it, or when
you eat the wrong kind of food, the
digestive organs sannot possibly do
the work demanded of them. It is at
such times that the stomach needs
help; it demands help, and warns you
by headaches, belching, sour stomach,
nausea and indigestion. You should
attend to this at ouce by taking some
thing that will actually do the work
for the stomach. Kodol will do this.
It is a combination of natural digest
ants and vegetable acids and contains
the same juices found in a healthy
