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.
Millions of bottles of Foley's Honey
and Tar have been sold without any
person ever having experienced any
other than beneficial rosults from its
use for coughs, colds and lung trou
bles. This is because the genuine
Foley's Honey and Tar in the yellow
contains no opiates or other
harmful drugs. Guard your health by
refusing any but the genuine. Sold

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. I can recom
mend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reli
able backache aud kidney cure."

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.
The line up:
Danville. Wilkes-Barre.

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.

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

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.

of the public : documents as cougxes>- j

of agriculture, who* department has
grown steadily,and is conducted with
energy aad enterprise. Secretary Wil- )
| son's statement is foil of reassuring j
facts. 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,

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

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.

' and his fellow workmen with difficulty

clothing.
