Miller, Gen'l Manager NORTH MILL STREET FINALLY APPROVED The reconstruction or paving of North Mill street, with State aid, which in one form or another has been before the public so long, is at last a closed incident. The street has been accepted by the State highway depart ment under the terms of contract and bond. A communication received by the borough from State Highway Commis sioner Joseph W. Hunter in relation to the matter explains that the con tractor is under obligation to make any repairs upon the road that may be necessary prior to May 12, 1908. Aft er that date the road will be in the hands of the borough to maintain. The State highway commissioner calls the borough's attention especial ly to r.he fact that unless the borough council maintains this road in proper condition it will forfeit its right to the State aid in maintenance, which it would otherwise receive in cash. The law authorizes the payment by the State of fifty per cent, of the cost of maintenance, but this is paid only when the road is kept in proper re pair.

Qoveruor Approvnd the Hospital Site. Governor Stuart last week approved the site selected by the commission created by the last legislature for a State hospital for injured miners in the Trevorton.Shamokin and Mt. Car mel coal fields. The proposed hospit al will be located on 11 acres of dear iand uear Uuiontown at the base of Trout Run donated by William C. Mc- Connell, a member of the commission, and the Philadelphia & Reading Rail way company. This is the only one of the 14 sites offered the commission un der which there is no coal, and for this reasou the offer was accepted. Col. McOounell aud is colleagues on the commission, Senator Fred A. God charles of Miltou, C. C. Leader, Sha mokin ; James Gibbous, Mt. Carmel, and Charles B. W'itmer.Sunbury, call ed upon the governor at Harrisburg Friday morning aud submitted a map of the site. After the governor had approved the site Senator Godoharles explained that it was the purpose of the commission to expend the $30,000 appropriated by tlie legislature for an administration building and to ask the next, legislature for an appropriation for additional buildings. Within oue mile of the site of the propound hospital is the Cameron col liery, iu which there are 68 miles of underground railroad,and which gives employment to 1,000 men and boys. In this territory there are 25,000 miners, shopmen, laborers and railroaders. The first six months of the present year there were 250 accident cases in the i mines in this district. The members of the commission up on their return home told reporters that the governor had approved of the site verbally he did not commit him self in writing for the reason that one of the deeds had been overlooked. This matter will be settled shortly, how ever, when the State's chief executive will affix his signature to the docu ment of approval. A meeting of the board will be held in the near future when the plans of architects will be examined. Work will in all probability begin early in the spring.

" A LASTINQ EFFECT. This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim Made for Doan's Kiduey Pills ill Danville. ; Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure a lame, weak or aching back is what's want ed. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strougest evidence to prove it: Thomas Lewis, retired, of 615 Mill street, says:"l can only reiterate my former statement made in 1896 about Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me eight years ago aud the cure then made has been lasting and I have had no re turn of my old trouble. Before using them I was troubled with backache. I used everything recommeued but got no relief. The lameuess over the kin deys and the terrible aching continu ed in spite of everything that I did and there seemed to be no relief for me. I learned about Doan's Kidney Pills and read the statements made by people who had used theip aud con cluded to try them. They not only re moved the Inuieness and backache but they benefitted my health iu general. They also relieved the headaches to which I had been subject for a con siderable length of time.

GREAT GAME OF BASKET BALL In a fast aud exciting game at the I ariuorv on Saturday night the Dan- ■ ville basket ball team was defeated by tiie Wyoming Valley Stars, of Wilkes- Barre, by a score of 21-20. From the time the game began un til the end the visitors, led by Miles Barber, a former Danville basket ball star, now of Wilkes-Barre, played a game that excited round after round of applause, treating the spectators to such an exhibition of good covering and shooting as has seldom been seen in a visiting team on the home floor. Danville, in torn, played a game that filled the hearts of the basket ball enthusiasts with joy. Without excep tion, their work was brilliant from start to finish, showing the result of hard practice and giving evidence by good team work. For the first few minutes of play Wilkes-Barre held the lead, when Dan ville, recovering from the surprise at the fast work of their opponents,gain ed the lead which they held to within about three minutes of the end of the game. Then by most brilliant basket ball the visitors, aided by a number i of fouls called on both sides, crept up in points, tying the score aud finally j winning by one point. The stand taken by Referee Aius worth for straight,fair basket ball de serves commendation. He called foul after foul impartially on both teams and also gave the forty or fifty young sters who perched in the "gallery" a "dressing up." This gang makes it a point to hoot and jeer at the visiting team, and any decision of ths referee that fails to suit their fancy. That the people appreciate the ef forts of the home team to play cleaner aud better basket ball was shown by the frequent applause which greeted a particularly clean play or a much de served "foul" called by the referee.

TRAPPING MINKS YIELDS PROFIT Harvey Lamberson.and his BOD John who live along the old canal some two miles down the river ahont thiß time of year have lots of sport in trap ping ami they have the satisfaction of realizing that notwithstanding the scarcity of tur-bearing animals the business yields a profit. Within a few day's time the father and sou have captured two minks,two weasels and twenty muskrats. One of the largest minks ever captured in this seoiiou was killed by the Lamber soiis during the present week. The pelt, which was produced at the office of Justioe Oglesby, showed that the animal was nearly as large as a com mon sized cat. Aside from the bounty paid by the county for killing noxious animals a very nice item is realized from the sale of the fur or pelt. The fur of the mink is very valuable and, if care is takeu in billing the animal, as much as $7.50 may be realized frcm the sale of the pelt. One dollar is the highest price paid for a weasel pelt ;probably, however, in most instances no more tliau fifty cents is realized. Muskrat hides are also in [demand, the prices paid being various. Mr. Lamborßon has three fox terrier dags and it ia these busy little fellows | that do the work. They are always J on the go. Montour ridge and the j long stretch of river bottom afford an I excellent hunting ground. In the summer time the fox terriers j devote themselves to exterminating ; the snakes. One of the dogs is a ; wonder and his record for the past! season is fifteen copperheads. In kill ing these it is worthy of note that the j little dog was bitten fourteen times i and came very nearly sacrificing his [ life. Before the season was over the j dog was so full of poison that he seem , ed more dead than alive.

INSTITUTE HAS ADJOURNED Tlie forty-second annual teachers' ! institute of Montonr county adjourned sine die at noon Friday. Theses- j sion was crowded with work aud con- i tained mauy pleasant features. In cidentally, after the Becond day,every | teacher in the county was enrolled, ; As relates to attendance, therefore, I as well as in otlier respects the session ; just closed ranks with the most sue- j cessful ever held iu the county, Oue feature omitted was the adopt ion of resolutions, in which usually the teachers voice their sentiments on matters relating to the institute or affecting the schools and the profes sion of teaching. The omission of resolutions may occasion some sur prise iu view of the fact that a com mittee on resolutions had been ap pointed aud the names of the mem bers were printed on the programs. However, when the hour of adjourn ment arrived there were no resolutions Their absence was attributed to the faot that Miles J. Derr, chairman of i the committee, was taken ill during the week and was obliged togo home. ; Chapel exercises Friday morning J were conducted by the Rev. L. W. i Walter,pastor of Pine Street Lutheran church. Professor Rigdon occupied a period before aud after intermission. Iu the first period he gave an instruct ive c.iercise in pronouns. His aslt. j talk was on "Errors iu Speaking" j and proved especially interesting. The errors most commonly made, he said, involve the use ot the adjective, pronoun and verb. Of the adjectives that are apt to be improperly used the one most overworked is "awful." This is a favorite with boys, who lose sight of the fact that there are a very j. few really "awful" thiugs in the world. Only those things which in- I spire one with dread or fear are "aw- j ful." In the same way girls overdo j the adjective ' lovely," forgetting j that very few things in the world are j really "lovely." The speaker admit ted that ladies sometimes and men once in a very great while are "love ly." But with girls when they speak ' everything is "lovely." "Splendid" is an adjective that men aud women alike use erroneously. Comparatively few things, the speaker said, are "splendid." Yet women in describ ing a pie or cake, or a new dress de clare it is "splendid." Nothing seemed worse, however, than the mis- : use of the word "nicely" as practiced in New England. Ask a man there j how his wife is and ho will reply: "Oh, she is very "nicely". Of all the errors in the use of pro- 1 nouns, he said, the ugliest occurs in the expression, "Between You and ; I." "Have went" and"Have saw" are errors most frequently made by men and women who have had no oppor- j tunity for acquiring a knowledge of . grammar. Such persons, therefore, are entitled to much consideration Mid should never be laughed at. "Have did" is an error nearly al ways made by a person well up in ! society. In snggesling a remedy for ineor- j rect expression the speaker declared j that it is essential that the pupil mas- I ter the principles of grammar. With- ; out a know edge of grammar no ane | ran speak correctly or at least with j any assurance that lie is employing | the right form.

So comprehensively is this true | that the bank disturbance of the mo- ! i ment is entirely oet of keeping with j the state of the country and its gener jal industries. The crops of 1907 are not the largest taat have bean raised, ' bnt will sell fou more money and rep resent a larger foreigu credit. Aineri ; can farm products for 1907 are valued jby the secretary at 17,418,000.000, ; which exceeds the high record of 190fi by |6.*"i7,000,000, figures that bespeak a remarkable prosperity. The 1907 corn crop is valued at 11,350,000,000, or I twenty-six percent, above the average i value of the previous five crops. Cot ton holds its high valuation and the | wheat crop is more valuable by a'.. per cent. Taking farm cereals as a | whole their value ia 1907 is twenty j three per cent, above the average of the last five years. This year dairy products reached $800,000,000, poultry aud eggs f«00,000,000 and animals sold ' and slaughtered on the farms, $187,- 000,000.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor „ | and cheerfulness soon ''disappear when the kid- neys are out °' ort * er or diseased. 1_ Kidney trouble has • ~ become so prevalent j] fhat it is not uncommon H for a child to be born // w w eak kid \J neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.

FALSEWORK IS RECOVERED The river was the center of much interest yesterday both because of the terrible tragedy at Mifflinville and the fact that the water had reached one of the highest, stages in a year past. The crest of the flood yesterday morning washed the 13-foot mark on the gaage on the first pier of the river bridge on the south side. The river remained stationary during yesterday. The flood, associated as it was with the terrible loss of life only a few miles Dp stream, seemed to combine with tlie usual attribute of grandeur something that awoke in the mind mingled emotions of dread and awe. Indeed, no one could look upon the irresistible sweep of the wide waters, realizing the wreck,the havoc and the loss of life it had caused, without ex periencing a feeling altlu to depres sion. The mouotonous wash of the flood among the stone piers of the bridge was mournful music-to the ear, 1 while the pieces of driftwood, rising and sinking in the boiliug current, brought to the mind uncanny sugges tions of human bodies bjing swept along by merciless flood. These impressions were heightened by the fact that larse sections of the falsework belonging to the ill-fated bridge whereon so many lost their lives passed down the stream with other driftwood during the morning and foreuooa. Not only were these grewsome timbers observe:! by persons on the bridge, bnt a large number of heavy pieces were dragged from the river at South Danville aud piled up on the shore. Not in many years have such large quantities of driftwood come down stream. Much of it oomprised the timber that escaped from the headwat ers of the Fishingcreek aud was very valuable. It was not until yesterday morning, however, that the timbers belonging to the false work of the Mifflinville bridge reached this point. During high water the current on ihe river carries i!ie driftwood along the south side of the stream,the bulk of it passing within sixty or eighty yards of the thore. Arthur Baylor.James Fisher aud Harry Nuss, three bold rivermen of the south side, were on the lookout and spying the bridge timbers rowed on the river and captured as many as they could drag into shore. Amoug the pieceß recovered were several lengthy uprights and braces with a quantity of plank,all recogniz ed as parts of the falsework. On one of the timbers were tell-tale marks of blood, wvhioh showed how intimately i it was associated with the catastrophe.
