BLOCKADED
Every Household in Danville Should Know
How to Resist It,
The back aohes because the kidneys
are blockaded.
Help the kidneys with their work.
The back will aclio no more.
Lots of proof that Doan's Kidney
Pills do this.
It's the best proof,for it comes from
Danville.
Mrs. Charles D. Whispell, living at
263 Mill street, Danville, Pa., says:
"Mv experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills justifies me in recommending
them as remedy of merit. For some
time prior to using them. I had pains
through the small of my back and
kidneys, aud at times, my back was
go painful that I could hardly
straighten nfter stooping. At night I
was unable to assume a comfortable
position and iu the morning 1 would
arise scarcely able to get about. A
dull languid feeling sapped all my
energy and I felt miserable. Doan's
Kiduey Pills were Unallv recommend
ed to me so highly that I procured a
box at Huut's Drug store, and their
use promptly relieved the pain in my
back After using the contents of the
box my strength and energy returned,
and the backaches aud other disorders
of my kidneys disappeared. I give
Doan's Kidney Pills my highest en
dorsement."

Hanged Himself to Bed Post.
Albert Keener, aged fifty yearg,com
mitted suicide at his home on Centre
street, Milton, Monday afternoon, by
hanging himself to a bedpost. For the
past year Mr. Keener had been em
ployed at the American Car and Foun
dry company's plant. The plant sus
pended operations in his department
last week which threw him out of
work and this no doubt preyed on his
mind to suoh an extent as to cause the
rash act. His mother died several
months ago and he had also been de
spondent since then. He is survived
by his widow and six children.

LOCK HAVEN HAS
MEANEST MAN
One of the meauest of all mean in
dividuals lives in Lock Haven accord
ing to reports and if sufficient evid
ence should be secured against the
party to whom suspicion now points,
he should be given the extreme penalty
of the law and that as speedily as pos
sible.
Sometime daring last Thursday
while preparations were being made
at the home of George Myers, at Look
Haven, for the funeral of Mrs. Myers,
who met with a shocking death in an
accident near her home,and while Mr.
Myers, who is so badly injured that he
is almost helpless was being administ
ered to, some sneak thief, devoid of
all feeling or sense of shame, who was
house in the guise of a friend,
stole Mr. Myers' pocketbook contain
ing sl3, which was all the money there
was in the house. It is unlawful and
mean to steal from those who can
easily stand the loss,but the man who
will take the last cent, as it were,
from the home of a poor, needy, hard
working man while he is helpless in
bed, and his wife lies in a casket in
another room, with three sobbing
young orphan children awaiting to
follow the remains to their last
resting place, would think nothing of
murderiug his own kinsmen in order
to gain a few paltry dollars. Such a
man ought to be ostracized from so
ciety the remainder of his life, and it
is sincerely hoped that the police will
succeed in fastening the crime on the
right party.
There is more Catarrh in this section'
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed loca'i remedies, aud by const
antly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proveu catarrh to be a constitu
tional ('isease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catar

CONSCIENCE
SAVED A YEAR
For having a guilty conscience, which
caused him to make an affidavit where
he had put a cornet which he had
stoleu from Oliver Houebach, of
Aristes, Joseph Emlof, was given one
year less iu the penitentiary than the
court had intended to give him.
Emlof, who pleaded guilty of the
charge of stealing the cornet, when
called before the court at Bloomsburg
Tuesday for sentence, was asked
whether he had anything to say why
sentence should not be imposed, the
prisoner, Emlof, said he had and stat
ed to Judge Evans that hisgailty con
science troubled him after he had stol
en and sold the cornet and he volunt
arily gave himself up to the constable
and made affidavit as to where the cor
net could be found.
Judge Evans said by having a guilty
•conscience he would save himself one
! year in the penitentiary, for instead
of sentencing him for three years, he
would make it two years, with a fine
of siou aud the costs of prosecution.

CUTTING ICE ON
MAHONING CREEK
The ioe harvest is uow ou in earn
est. W. S. Lawrence & Son of Mans
dale, who are catting ioe on the dam
in Maiioning oreek, Tuesday broke
the record, catting and delivering one
hundred two-horse loads of ioe be
tween morning and noon.
The ice, although not so thick as on
some former years, is of first olass
quality. In thickness it ranges be
tween eight and eleven inohes, which
answers very well for all purposes.
Besides under the present degree of
cold the ice is increasing in thickness
daily.
The ice plant of W. S. Lawrence &
Son, installed on the cinder tip just
north of the dam, is most unique in
its way and is well worth a visit. Tues
day fifteen men were employed, be
sides a horse and a steam engine. The
horse was hitched to a modern ice
plow, which cut the ice on the dam
into squares of about two feet each,
while the engine—owned by J. A.
Merrill—operated the elevator, which
carries the cakes of ice from the wat
er to the top of the cinder tip. While
some of the men were at work on the
dam, others were employed on the
platform above, loading the ice onto
the wagons after it had been carried
up from the water's edge by the elev
ator. Already a space of some 100
square yarSs on the dam has been
cleared of ice and a second crop is
forming.
Some fifteen teams were employed
Tuesday and ice was being delivered
at half a dozen different places. Among
the ice houses being filled were thoso
belonging to the Reading Iron com
pany, H. J. Heoht, Henry Divel, F.
O. Angle, Fallon Bros, and Harvey
Dietrick.
The teams are kept moving at a
lively pace, while the men, loading
and unloading the ice, seem constant
ly on the jump. Not a moment of
time is lost in any department. Tues
day W. S. Lawrence & Son broke
all former records by a wide margin
and during the day stored away over
200 loads of ice.
W. S. Welliver & Brother are aiso
cutting an excellent quality of ice on
the ponds at Castle Grove. In thick
ness it runs about the same as the ice
cut ou Mahoning creek. Altogether
there is an abundance of ice available
and the local dealers, if they desire
to do so, can fill up their ice houses
with the home product.
Foley's Honey and Tar cures the
most obstinate coughs and expels the
cold from the system as it is mildly

SYMBOLIC FIGURE
OF PEACE
The soldiers' monument oommittee
is keeping very closely in touch with
the work of the Van Amriuge Granite
company of Boston, which is already
busy on the soldiers' memorial, which
is to oooupy a place in the new park
on Bloom street. As a result of the
correspondence being maintained the
oommittee is fully informed on the
pose aud detail of the symbolic figures
that are to stand at the base of the
monument.. As relates to the sym
bolio figures the builders of the monu
ment proceed step by step only aB
their work is approved by the soldiers
monument committee.
Following is a description of the
figure of peace as it now stands ap
proved :
The female figure is typical of the
"Mother country," who in the yearb
of '6l aud '65 entrusted to her citizen
soldiers, the weapon of "offense" (a
sword). The enemy of our country,
engaged in the work of desolation and
disunion,is represented by the "light
ed torch," held in the right hand.
The faithful soldiers and patriots of
the north,going to the defense of their
country, have wrested from the enemy,
the weapou of disunion, "the torch of
destruction," aud have surrendered it
to the care of the "Mother country,"
wh6 has extinguished its flame of hat
red ;at the snuie time sha receives,
with gratitude and pride the "sheath
ed sword," wliicii has been the in
strument that made possible the de
fense of her honor and iutegrity. The
"inverted torch" being extinguished
also signifies in very marked way the
extinguishing of "sectional hatred"
between North aud South. Undoubt
edly the sculptor has embodied in this
suggestion of "peace" aud "grati
tude," symbols not only significant
but most appropriate aud beautiful.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood In your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid In the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty- 3*
cent and one-dollar
es. You may have a
sample bottle by mail Homo of swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
Don't make any mistake, but rernem
ber the name, Swanp-Root, Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Root, and the addres

Lion and the Mouse" is a play which
has been creating a furore in the larg

The cast was an excellent one and
the production was handsomely staged
—no accessory having been omitted
that would add to the completeness.
