Oi&eases of the Stomach and Intestines a Specialty ITEMS CONDENSED. A richly garnished mind is a con- | stant treasure to its owner. The negleot one receives from a j friend may be apparent only. It is a good thing to have had hon- ! orable ancestors. SDperstition is the misfavored child of ignorance. The best help yon can give a man is that which helps him to help himself. The assassin of feminine innocence j deserves the worst of fates. A loud voice is not necessarily a | disagreeable one. The child begins to learn as soon as it begins to breathe, Very few of us are half as good as we would like to be. It is the part of prudence to be pre pared for future reverses. There are more tragedies in this world than most men suspect. A good home is a source of inspira tion and safety to the boy. Andrew Oaufman, of Carlisle,"aged 42 years, died of heart failure Mon- | day, caused by over exertion while j riding a bicycle. The prudent, pedestrian will carefully | uard against wet feet. The inan who has a comfortable house, a good furauce and sufficient j fuel may well be thankful. A long and an honorable life is a boou to be coveted by all, especially an honorable one. The attorney general of Texas is aft- j er the alleged bread trust of that state, having filed suits against 120 defendants, scattered all over the state. A pest of snails has been the means i of stopping many of the water mains j of the city of Chicago. Of recent years only six deaths oc- j cur to each one hundred amputations. This is owing to the improvements in antisceptic surgery. The supreme oourt of Mississippi j has .just decided that the person who ; tells a neighbor to "go to —" is not guilty of profanity. Too many dollars in a man's pocket j have been known to crowd the sense i rotn under his hat. The first snow of the season began falling Saturday, August 81, at 12:30 p. in., on the top of Mount Washing ton, being the exact anniversary of the first snowfall of last year. A worthy heritage from the past should increase one's sense of obliga tion. The citizen who is pleasant and af fable always makes the best candid ate. Five of our presidents only were un der 50 years old when inaugurated— Pierce.Grant, Garfield, Cleveland and Roosevelt. American shoes are so popular in Germany that many manufacturers in that country sell their goods as "Am erican made." Men serve the purpose of wagons In China.

ICS 111 BE JMIIZZLED The huarautine of the dogs after having been in force for over two months was ordered raised by action of council Friday night. Mr. Everhart called attention to the matter. In his opinion, he said, suffici ent time has elapsed since the out break of rabies and that all danger is now passed. Besides, nearly one-half of the dogs are running unmuzzled. In justice the other half of the dogs ought to be released. The members iu general concurred with Mr. Everhart. On motion of Mr. Dietz it was ord ered that "the muzzles bo removed — with the exception of those dogs which are known to have beeu bitten." The following members were pres ent : Sweisfort, Pursel, Jacobs, Fin nigan, Everhart, Moyer, Dietz, Rus sell, Deutsoh, Angle, Hughes, Schatz. A communication was received from Borough Solicitor E. S. Gearhart i formally exteuding thanks to the chief ! burgess, the president, members of i town council, trustees of the Grove Presbyterian church and otliera who so kindly left their business Saturday morning and rendered mach needed I assistance in court in tL • matter of vacating the old Petrikeu cemetery. On motion of Mr. Hughes it was ordered that new overcoats be procur ed for the two police officers. George D. Edmondsou and Heister Foust of the firm owning the opera house appeared before council asking that the license for performances be | reduced. The claim was made that the present rate of five dollars per night is too high and is out of all pro- | portion to what is charged in other towns of the size of Danville. In the town of Columbia, a larger place than Danville, the license is only $35 per year. On motion of Mr. Deutsch it was ordered that the license be fixed at thirty-five dollars for the present sea son terminating .Tune Ist. On motion of Mr. Moyer it was ord ered that Mrs. Herringtou be uotified to fill up the well at her property on Iron street or to cover the same with flagstone. On motion of Mr. Jacobs it was ord ered that Mrs. Patterson Johnson be notified to remove the pump at her property on East Market street aud to fill up the well or cover it with flag stone. The borough solicitor submitted an opinion on the controversy iu the i Goodwill fire company as to whether or not a non-resident member is legal ly eligible for the office of chief en gineer. He disposed of the matter by explaining that the question is one which the Goodwill fire company should be left to decide for itself. THE UNION THANKSGIVING The Union Thanksgiving service this year will be held in St. Paul's M. E. church. The sermon will he preached by the Rev. Joseph E. Guy, pastor of Shi 101 l Reformed church. All the arrangements for the service have not yet been perfected. When a church is selected for the Thanksgiv ing service it is customary to select ;i minister to preach the sermon from the opposite side of town. The choice this year fell on Mr. Guy, who is an able and devout minister of the young er class. The full arrangements for the service is in the bauds of tho Rev. Dr. Fost er, pastor of St. Paul's,where the ser vices are to bo held. It will be some days before Dr. Foster has the pro gram fully arranged. A feature of the Thanksgiving ser vice which is never forgotten is the offering.! Indeed, it is only by the of- I ferlng, with the spirit of self-sacrifice i implied,that we may measure the true | depth of thanks and gratitude that abide in the heart ou Thanksgiving. The offering this year will bedonat- I ed to the Woman's Berevolent dbciety, 1 which, with few exceptions, has re ceived the money for a number of 1 years past. DEPOSIT REQUIRED ON ENVELOPES A section of a late ruling of the i post master general G. V. L. Meyer, which is given below, will be of in terest to purchasers of return request stamped envelopes in wholesale lots. The order reads: "Postmasters shall require the purchaser to deposit with his order the difference between tho schedule and postage value of the en velopes, (for example, $1.24 per thou sand ou No. 5, first quality, the size most used) the postage value to be collected when the envelopes are de livered to the purchaser. The post master will give a receipt for the ad vance payment." Yet the year will give us more than one shining hour before the ringing of the Christmas bells. DANVILLE, PA., THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1907 SCARLET BTI TO BONAPARTE Our townsman, James Scarlet, chief counsel for the Commonwealth of ] Pennslvauia in the capitol graft cases, I has been retained by the United States ! government as special counsel to assist i in the prosecution of the powder j i trust. j 1 Upon reaching his office in this city i Saturday Mr Scarlet was surprised to j . find upon his desk an appointment as | special nssistant to Attorney General | Bonaparte,he boing employed as speci- j 112 al counsel of the department of justice | ] to conduct suits in all the courts of ! < the United States arising under the i inter-state commerce and anti-trust \ laws. We understand that Mr. Scarlet was j called to Washington last week in con- ] sulfation on the Powder trust cases j and has been assigned to take immedi ate charge of these suits. ] Mr. Scarlet is to be congratulated on • the above appointment,as it takes him i up a step higher and is indeed a splen- i ] did recognition of his skill and learn- j • ing as a lawyer, his untiring industry and incorruptible charaotei —disting- j i uishiug traits, which have shone in j i such a strong light during the time he ! lias been engaged in probing the cap itol scandal and instituting suits i against the alleged looters. Under Mr. Scarlet the State lias brought thirty-two prosecutions, on j which indictments have beeu found, j Mr. Scarlet says these cases will all goon trial January 27th. There are fourteen defendants. As special assistant to Attorney Gen- I eral Bonaparte Mr. Scarlet's sphere will be greatly enlarged. His peculiar ability will be employed in breaking up gigantic and well fortified com- , hinations that have long defied the law. Tliat he shall give a good ac- j count of himself in this enlarged field no one who knows the man will for a moment doubt. It is pretty certain that in the per- j formance of his duties henceforth Mr. Scarlet will be called to many distant points and that his reputation, which aire .dy extends beyond his own State, ' will iu a short time become national. TUBERCULOSIS DISPENSARY A tuberculosis dispensary lias been established in Danville with Dr. E. A. Ourry in charge. As explained in a previous article dispensaries are being established in every county of the State by Commis sioner of Health l)r. Samuel G. DixJ on, who is waging a comprehensive and aggressive campaigu against the ; " white plague" as tuberculosis has como to be kuowu. The dispensary will be located in Dr. Curry's office on West Mahoning j street. On the outside an artistically lettered sign furnished by the State is displayed, calling attention to the office as a tuberculosis dispensary. The board announces that the dispensary will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2 to 4 p. m. Medical treatment will be given free ( and where necessary milk and eggs ■ will also be furnished. In addition when circumstances warrant it a nursn j will be sent here to make a home in- ■ spection. The latter indeed,is a speci- j al feature of the campaigu of educa tion that is being inaugurated. A j nurse specially instructed and trained j in the hygiene of tuberculosis will bo sent to visit the home of every patient applying to the dispensary for treat ment. It will be her province to thor oughly instruct the patient upon such I important points as the amonnt of I fresh air needed, the most desirable foods, when and liow they should be , taken. She will teach the patients and I the other members of the household ' how to conduct themselves so as to I avoid the infection of those not al j ready suffering from tuberculosis. The fact is at all times to be borne | in mind that the dispensary is only j for the poor—those who are unable to pay for medicine, milk and eggs. In , order that there may be no imposition ; those applying at the dispensary will ;be obliged to sign a paper certifying Ito the fact that they are too poor to pay a physician and to purchase medi- I cine, milk and eggs. An Oyster Supper. ! An oyster supper was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John S. Kriim, | East Danville, on Saturday evening. Those nresent were: Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Baylor, Mr. Aaron O. Mauser, j Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo Kruni, Mr aud | Mrs. Charles Kruni, Mr. aud Mrs. I Ralph Leighow, Mr. and Mrs. George j Thomas, and Mrs. Sarah Mauser, of Grovania ; Sarah Krum, Martha Bay lor, Effie Leighow, Thornton and George Krum,David and Harry Thom as, Norman Krum, Elmer Baylor, Wil liam and Benjamin Krum, Masters Preston and Boyd Thomas and Ben jamin Leighow. EXCEPTIONS I KB FILED The D. L. & W. Railroad company, ! lias filed exceptions to the opinion j handed down by Judge Evans on the ; 9th inst., dissolving the preliminary j injunction and giving the Danville j and Bloomsburg Street Railway com pany the right to cross the roadway and track of the D. L. & W. Railroad company at grade. Tlrere seems to be some misconcep tion of the mode of legal procedure in such cases on the part of the public, j Persons feeling a keen interest in the I outcome of the prolonged litigation relative to the D. L. & W. crossing,in the ten days elapsing since the opin- j ion was handed down have been look- J ing for action of some sort from the j plaintiff railroad company, which in J a vague way they regarded as "an ap- ! peal." The ten-day period having ex- j pired, Tuesday there was great cur iosity to know what action had been taken by the plaintiff railroad com pany—whether the trolley company would now be at liberty to cross the 1 D. L. & W. track at grade or whether the hold-up would be renewed by vir tue of an appeal to the supreme court. I When the handing down of the opin- j ion by Judge Evans was noted in these columns it was explained that excep- ! tions were "noted by the court on ap plication aud the bill sealed." Pur suant to this the plaintiff has filed ex- . ceptions indue and legal form. The exceptions can not be argued until the next regular argument court, which will be held on January 11th next. Argument may eveu be'delayed beyond that point. The turn that pro ceedings may take after argument de- ; pends. Should the court dismiss the exceptions it is altogether likely that the case will be appealed. The Danville & Bloomsbnrg Street Railway company, it is understood, will make no attempt to cross -D. L . & W. at grade pending the final adjudication of the matter bv the courts. All of which means allowing for delays incident to appeal, that there is not the least probability that the Danville aud Bloomsbnrg cars will j run up Mill street for months to come. THE RESULT OF CAMP INSPECTION The result of the inspection at camp at Mt. Gretna,last July,has been made ; public The local company ranks third in the regiment with an average of i 98.f>0 Companies A,of Lewisburg aud ; E, of Sunbury, are tied for first place j with an average of 99.25 each. The special report of the maneuvers i {of the Third brigade at Mt. Gretna ! gives Company F mention as follows: | "Company, F, Captain Gearhart, en- j gaged a detachment of the 4th and ' i Bth regiments of the enemy on their j left flank, capturing two companies ! and with the aid of one company from the second support, coming in on the j rear of battery, and capturing the bat tery there located." Iu the report received last Septem \ ber of the result of the spring inspec j tion,held last March,the United States I army officer severely criticized Oap ! tain Gearhart for the condition of the j company. At that inspection Compauy I F stood seventh in the regiment with I an average of 93 30. It was shortly af ter the receipt of this report, Captain I Gearhart stares, that he tendered his ; resignation. The Twelfth regiment j again stood fifth in the State. BASKET BALL TEAM IS ORGANIZED The basket ball loving people of Danville, who form no small propor tion of the population, are to have a fine team during the coming season. The team has been organized and Patrick McCaffrey has accepted the management. The schedule for the coming winter is being arranged and the first game has already been secured with Pitts ton for Thanksgiving afternoon aud evening. The Pittston team is well known in Danville and is probably the most popular basket aggrega tion that comes to this oity. The line-up of the Danville team will include suoh well known and popular players as Newbaker and Sechler, forwards; Price, center; Gil more and Russell,' guards. Visited Danville. Judge William Krickbaum.of Blooms burg. and Constable Condon Langdon, of Centralia. circulated in Danville yesterday afternoon. Both are well knowu here, Judge Krickbaum through , his successful electioneering cam ; paigns aud Constable Langdon by rea son of his reputation as a bold and I efficient officer, who succeeds in keep ing things quiet and orderly in the . turbulent regions on"the other side , of the mountain." There are over seventy mileß of tun nels cut in the solid rock of Gibraltar. SABBATH SCHOOL MEM The seventeenth annual convention of the Sabbath school association, held in Shiloh Reformed church yesterday, was one of the best attended and al together the most successful that ever took place in Montour county. Of the j thirty-eight Sabbath schools of the | county twenty-eight were represented. Besides the delegates a large num ber of townspeople were present at the j convention. Pastors of the various churches of the county were present as follow?: Hev. M. K. Foster, D. D., Rev. John Sherman,Rev. W. .T. Kohl- j er. Rev. A. B. Still, Rev. J. E. Guy, Rev. W. O. McCormack, D. D., Rov. j Q. W. Fritsch.Rev. L. W. Walter and j Evangelist W. D. Laumaster. The following Sunday schools were t represented, each iiaving two dele gates : Shiloh Reformed chnrch, St. Paul's M. E. church. Grove Presby terian church, Mahoning Presbyterian church, Pine Street Lutheran church, St. John's Lutheran church, United Evangelical church. Union church, of McKee's Heights. Strawberry Ridge Reformed church, Washingtonville Presbyterian church,Ridgeville Union church, Mausdale Reformed church, Mooresburg Presbyterian church and Mooresburg'Method ist church. Devotional service was conducted ! by Rev. John Sherman,pastor of First Baptist chnrch. The delegates were welcomed by Rev. Joseph E. Guy, 1 pastor of Shiloh Reformed church. Mrs. Joseph Divel rendered a vocal solo. The Rev. W. J. Kohler, pastor of i the Strawberry Ridge Reformed church, opened a discussion on"To i What Purposes Should Sunday school j Offerings be Devoted." "The Supreme Hour" was the sub- ! ject taken up by Miss Martha E. Rob iuson,principal field worker of Colum- : bia county. The principal feature of the after ! noou was the address by W. G. Lamles, general secrutar of the State Associa tion, entitled, "'Montour Couuty and the Front Line Position." The ad-: ; dress was most practical iu its nature i and full of good suggestions for carrv ing on the work. The afternoon ses sion closed with prayer and benedic- J ! tion by Rev. Dr. M. K. Foster, pastor of St. Paul's M. E. church. Praise service last evening was con- | , ducted by Rev. Lloyd W. Walter,past or of Pine Street Lutheran church. ! | " Men and Women of Tomorrow" was , ; the subject ably and interestingly dis- j j cussed by Miss Martha E. Robinson, j j General Secretary Landes closed with a very inspiring address entitled, "A Glimpse beyond the Horizon." A MAP FOR BUSINESS MEN ! W. G. Pursel of the Structural Tub- > ! ing company, is to be credited with a 1 fine stroke of enterprise, which has : the good of the town iu view. He has I produced an artistic map in the con [ venient form of a leaflet, which throws j | Danville into prominence and reveals ' its relation to other towns within a j radius of 140 miles. | Mr. Pursel iu his dealings with ! I manufacturers and their representa ! tives has discovered that comparative ; ly few of them have a correct idea of ! the exact location of Danville and its | relation to neighboring towns. The larger maps that are generally refer red to are of but small value, as Dan ville, along with other towns of its rank, is imperfectly shown, if it is not crowded off the map. On Mr. Pur.-f-l's map Danville is the | great fact, the nnme being printed in red ink. The town is located 140 miles from New York City as a crow would fly and is the center of a circle, the diameter of which extends from New York to within a few miles of Pitts burg. Within the circle all the smaller towns, along with the larger places, are distinctly shown. Railroads are also brought out prominently. The stranger at a glance not only learns all about the exact location of Dan ville bat the natural advantages of the place and facilities for shipping in stantly strike the eye. The question arises whether it would not be a pretty good thing for other manufacturing concerns of Danville to adopt Mr. Pursel's method of ad vertising the town. I Stephen Luoky and his son Wilson, of Stroudsburg. were out hunting deer on Monday when the two became sepa rated. Soon Wilson shot a deer, but a I loud cry at a distance caused him to igo and see what was wrong, when lie j found his father bleeding freely and I quite helpless from a bullet wound in I his leg above the knee, the son's bul ! let having passed through the deer and | hit him. In Sweden a separate car must be provided on suburban night trail's out of Stockholm for the accommodation of intoxicated persons. WHITE : INSPECTORS The inspectors of the anthracite coal ' mines, representing nearly the entire | t twenty districts, held a meeting at the c Montour house, this city, yesterday. ( Two sessions, morning and afternoon, 1 were held. \ James £. Roderick, of Hazlnton, i chief of the department of mines, was < present and presided at the convention. t Regular meetings are not held,but the t insjjeotors assemble at the call of the ! t chairman whenever an emergency in mining arises that would make a t meeting, with a free intercharge of | thought, profitable. 1 The meeting yesterday] was called for the purpose of discussing matters j pertaining to mining in general and 112 the enforcement of the law relating to the employment of children in parti- j ( cular. So far as the inspectors can : accomplish it no children below the , legal age will be employed about the ; breakers or in the mines. ' , The body of inspectors took dinner i at the Montour house. After the final i session they spent some time in sight seeing about towtr. The following inspectors were pres ent: First district, P. J. Moore, Carbon- 1 dale. Second district, L. M. Evans, Soan ton. Seventh district, G. H. Price and James Martin of Wilkes-Barre. Ninth district, David T. Davis, VVilkes-Barre. Tenth district, J. J. Walsh. Wilkes- Barre. Eleventh district, David J.

HILL EMPLOYES AS FIRE FIGHTERS j About half past five o'clock Tues day morning while those of our towns people who could afford to indulge iu a late nap were still abed the alarm of fire rang through town, the first that had been heard for many months. : The fire occurred at the Structural Tubing works and was easily exting uished without the aid of the fire de- I partment. The employes were busy at work in ! the mill when {he roof was discovered to be on fire just above rhe hot bed in a portion of ttie works where the roof i is low. I The cry of "fire" immediately went abroad and au instant later the fire bells were rung. Fire plugs have been ; installed at the Structural Tubing 1 works, in addition to which the mill is well equipped with hose. The employes themselves, who iu more than one emergency in the past liavo proven themselves expert fire fighters, yesterday morning did not | wait for the fire department, but at the first cry of "fire" flew to the hose and in au incredibly short period of time had a stream of water playing on ; the fire. ; Quick action was necessary. The 1 uuder side of the roof over the dry , bod, exposed to constant heat, has be | come as dry and inflammable as tin der. A spark alone is needed to set it | off and once in a blaze the flames | spread rapidly. j The mill men by assuming the role I of firemen succeeded in checking the fire while it was still in its incipiency and before any damage of consequence resulted. Had there been the least de lay or any failure to co-operate,how ever, the result might have been vast ly different. The Friendship and Washington Fire companies responded to the alarm, but before either of them reached the works the fire was extinguished. Tlie fire is supposed to have been started by a spark from the rolls. First Illness. i Henry Slonaker.the oldest citizen of 1 Venango couuty, died on Saturday at | his home in Cooperstowu, after three j days' illness from acute indigestion, j aged 90 years and 4 months. Up to last ! Thursday ho had never been ill and he never wore glasses nor carried a cane. There are about 600 dogs in Hazle ' ton that are not wearing a collar with a tax receipt tag, and the police have ! been Instructed to imjiound every one, | regardless of their being pet, fighting or hunting dogs, or common cars. ESTABLISHED IN 1855 sum IN TRESPASS Three important suits, actions in trespass, have been instituted in the court of common pleas, this county. One of these is brought by Henry E. Hohner against the Locust Mountain Water company and the other two by Sophia Q. Eckman against the Cross Creek Coal company and the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal company, re spectively. In each case heavy dam ages are claimed. Iu the case of Henry E. Bonher vs. the Locust Mountain Water company the plaintiff's statement sets forth as follows: That on June 26, 1904, he was and from thence hitherto has been and still is possessed of a tract of land in May berry township, Montour county, containing 13 acres with improve ments,consisting of a two-story frame dwelling house, barn, water power, flour and feed mill, together with a dam for the storage of water to drive said mill,which dam is erected in and across a stream of water called Roar ing creek flowing in and through said ; land. That the defendant wrongfully, in juriously and unlawfully located and erected water works consisting of dams, conduits, lines of pipes and pumping stations, for the purpose of supplying water to certain villages, boroughs and cities and to private and public corporations and thereby and by means thereof did stop, hinder and divert and turn away the waters of said creek and tributaries thereof so as to cause the same on some of said days and times iu part and, at other of said days and times, wholly,to cease to flow in and through the said lands (if the plaintiff, along their usual and natural courses; in consequence of which wrongful acts of the defendant the waters of said creek and tributaries sufficient for the supplying of said mill with water for the necessary working thereof and for other pur poses could not and ilid not run and How to and through the said lands of the plaintiff and will not run and flow for the purposes aforesaid. Wherefore the plaintiff brings suit and claims damages iu the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars. In the case of Sophia G. Eckman vs. Cross Creek Coal company the plain tiff s statement sets forth ns follows: That since 1902, she has owned a farm iu Mayberry township, Montour couuty, consisting of 150 acres, lying on the south side of the Susquehanna river and known as the "Roaring creek farm " That the defendant during the time of the plaintiff's ownership iu the op eratiou of its mines carelessly and negligently put large quantities of coal dirt, rock, slate, culm and refuse matter iu the Susquehanna river and its branches and that by the action of storms, streams and the elements they have beeu and are being carried down the said river and deposited opposite to, along and upon the lauds of the plaintiff, tilling up the natural bed of the river and its branches, damming and throwing the water out over and upon the land, thereby injuring and damagiug the same, ruining feuces, buildiugs and destroying crops. Iu the suit against the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal company a similar complaint is set forth by the plaintiff. Iu each case damages iu ten thousand dollars are claimed. GLEANED FROH SPECIAL EDITION On Monday the Berwick board of trade inaugurated a campaign for a greater Berwick by issuing" a twenty four page edition of the Eveniug En terprise, devoted largely to setting ' forth the advantages and development of the town. From it we gleam the following facts about Berwick : They claim to have a population of twenty thousand, and say when all s the men who work there reside there the population will reaoh[thirty thou sand. Over five thousand five hundred tunen are employed by the American Car and Foundry "company and up wards of fourteen hundred by the oth er industrial establishments of the ' town, makiug a total of 7,000 men. ! The population is based on these j figures. The town has twenty-three miles of streets. Berwick has 3.460 pupils iu her public schools— fifty seven in number audjwitbiu the past 112 few years has expended eighty thou sand dollars for public school build a ings. The Enterprise attributes the 9 ! town's maguificeut growth and de ' velopmeut to the voting of a sixty j thousand dollar loan a few years ago for municipal improvements. The town began to develop from that time and its growth has been phenomenal. Special Heetlng. e There will be a special meeting 112 the borough council tonight f<" ' j purpose of considering some inq . i.«nt matters relating to sewerage.
