Moore of West Hemlock town ship, who was chosen president of the Township Supervisors' association of Montour county last- year, was in this city Saturday, on which occasiun he was interviewed on the subject of the next convention. The township supervisors associa tion was organized on February 7th of last year. Conventions, it was un derstood, were to he held annually. Thus far there has been uo announce ment of this year's convention, which during the last six weeks has occasion ed some surprise among those who are interested in the good roads move ment. The reason why no announcement of a convention has appeared was ex plained Saturday by Mr. Moore, the president, upon whom would devolve the duty of calling a meeting. Mr. Moore said lie does not find the sup ervisors of tliis county very enthusias tic on the subject of a convention. Many regard the trip to town over the bad roads as personally unprofitable. If attendance at the convention carri ed some remuneration with it, he thought the result might bo different. Mr. Moore stated that it was his in tention to make a more thorough can vass to discover the prevailing senti ment. Should the majority of the sup ervisors show sufficient interest in the matter it is likely that lie will call a convention during the next few days. It would be unfortunate, indeed, if no convention were to be held this year, as the result would be that all parties would lose interest and the as sociation,so recently organized, would goto pieces, CASE AFTER CASE.

THE OLD CANAL WILL REMAIN It has now become quite apparent from the trend of events that the fond ly cherished dream that the State might be induced to bring the hospit al sewer down the canal connecting with the borough sewer at the aque duct, thereby abolishing the old water way, is not to be realized, at leaßt, at the present, but that another experi ment is to be made at the hospital with a view of disposing of the sew age on the grounds of the institution. The true status of the old canal BB a nuisance will appear plain from what follows: It develops that State Health Com missioner Samuel G. Dixon is unalter ably opposed to the pollution of streams by sewage and that lie can not be induced even in faoe of the some what anomalous conditions that exist here, to render Danville safe for all time by carrying the hospital sewer down the canal. The health commis sioner prefers rather to replace the present inefficient sewage disposal plant at the hospital with a new sys tem, which is found very efficacious at other places. Thus he acts consis tent with liis viewsjand iu dealing with the evil of stream pollution, at least, does not permit it to increase. Those acquainted with Dr. Dixon's | views foresee that it will be only a few years until the pollution of streams will be a thins of the past and that every municipality will be legally obliged to take care of its owu sewage. The general belief, however, was that the problem would bo solved by bringing the sewage down the can al, with Dr. Dixon's consent, and by the hospital uniting with the borough iu the establishment of au incinerat ing plant below town. It has been found, however, that the cost of in stalling such a plant would be enorm ous and that the borough's share of the expenditure would run its in debtedness far beyond the limit that it eau legally carrv. Hie system oi sewage uispomu 10 uo installed at the hospital consists of a series of filter beds. Iu theory daring the process the liquid iu the sewage becomes purified to a degree tli.it places it on a par with pure water. People have their prejudices, how ever, and whether impure or pure it would not be pleasing to refleot th it the sewage, filtered, was finding its way into the river at the hospital. In this connection it is comforting to note that a committee of council on a recent visit to Harrisburg was giv en to understand by the State engine er that the affluent from the filter beds along with the stream from the wash house now the source of pollu tion, would be brought down through town in pipes of suitable capacity sunk iu the bottom of the canal. Thus, at least, if there is uo misun derstanding in the matter the borough is likely to get rid of the filth aud tie stench which are the most dangerous aud repellent factors iu the canal nuis ance, even if the old waterway as a'i eyesore has to be tolerated for a year or so longer.

WILD BILL'S MAINTENANCE Interest in the case of William Guil ford (Wild Bill),who last fall was ad judged insane and committed to the hospital for the insane at Warren,wa« revived on Saturday morning, when a petition was presented to ootirt by the county commissioners asking that a rule be granted on Clinton oountyand the City of Lock Haven to show cftuse why Montoar oounty should not be re imbursed for past expenses and future cost in the case of the said William Guilford. The petition, whioh was signed by the full board of oounty commission ers, George M. Lelghow, Charles W. Cook and George R.

That on Ootober 12th on petition of Dr. Cnrry a commission was appointed to inquire into the mental condition of said William Guil ford. That on December 7 the commis sion presented its report setting forth facts which showed that Guilfurd was of unsound mind; that he had been confined in the hospital for the insane at this place on several occasions; that his place of legal settlement was at Lock Haven; also that the history of his case revealed that his mental disease began about eighteen years ago and that his case is regarded by the authorities at the State hospital for the insane as incruable.

Stock, who has charge of the dispensary for tuberculosis in this county, Friday returned home from a visit to Wilkes-Barre, where lie vis ited the Luzerne oounty dispensary. He was much pleased with the work ing of the latter dispensary and re gards it as an illuminating object les soou to BIIOW the magnitude and the importance of the work that the State lias undertaken. Under the treatment iu Luzerne county at present are 824 patients suffering with tuberculosis at various stages. Not a few who have advanced to a serious stage show signs of marked improvement. One physi cian with six assistants has charge of the dispensary. During February 209 dollars worth of eggs with inilk in proportion was furnished free at the dispensary. Dr. Stock is confident that the tub eroulosis dispensary in this conuty,al though essentially smallor, can be made just as offioaoious as the one at Wilkes-Barre. He obtained ideas from his visit that will be of value to him in the conduct of affairs relating to the free treatment of tuberculosis in this county. There have already been applica tions at the local dispensary and by next week no doubt treatment will be under full swing. Any person suffer ing front disease, who would like to have an examination made to deter mine whether there are symptoms of tuberculosis are at liberty to apply to the dispensary, but with the mere ex amination free treatment ends except iu cases whore the parson is unable to employ a physician and is too poor to stand the outlay for milk auil eggs that make up the diet while under treatment.

LAI DELEGATES ARE CHOSEN Our local Methodist Episcopal churches are shaping affairs so as to be ready for the session of the Central Pennsylvania conference, which con venes at York on March 18tli to re main in session until the 36th inst The session of conference, over which Bishop Wilson, will preside, will be an especially large and impor ant one, probably double the usual size, by reason of the attendance of lay delegates chosen to elect delegates for the general conference, which meets at Baltimore in May. Lay delegates have been chosen by the Danville churches as follows: St. Paul's, O. R. Schilling; alternate, B. W. Musseltnan; Trinity, Walter Lunger ; alternate, P. J. Kesfer ; St. Peter's, W. R. Clark ; alternate, John Keim. All three of our churches are in a prosperous condition and will have very good reports to present to confer ence. At St. Paul's the Rev. M. K Foster has sustained his past record as an able aud eloquent divine. The church in point of membership, col lections, &o. is quite up with prev ious year. Trinity M. E. church has putin a very busy year. Rev. L. D Ott is one of the most able and energetic ministers in the Central Beuusylvania confer ence and this year as was the case last year the showing is one to bo proud of. In point of fact, notwithtanding the period of depression existing the condition of the church is better than at any time in its history. The finan ces are in good shape, while during the year the parsonage was in part re furnished: the vestibule of the church was frescoed in oil, the woodwork was retouched anil matting was plac ed ou the floor. The revival services resulted in thirty-two conversions, all with two exceptions being adults. During the conference year the Rev. L. Dow Ott officiated at teu weddings. During the same time ho conducted the services at thirty funerals, the most of which occurred outside the congregation. A departure inaugurated at Trinity M. E. church during the year is the holding of young people's meeting every Friday night. The object of the meetings is to promote sociability among tho young people and from the first the meetings have proven well at tended and popular.. St. Peter's M E. church has also made an excellent showing. The Rev. J. Couley Grimes is one of the rising ministers of this conference and large congregations are attracted by his eloquence while his sound and prac tical views on all matters affecting things temporal or things sacred and •eternal find a ready acceptance. Im provements at church and parsonage have been installed during the year, while in point of collections and ac cession to membership the showing is quite up to that of the most prosper ous years of the past. In what way the appointments may affect the local churches can not bo determined at this time. Rev. M. K. Foster, pastor of St. Paul's states that he expects to change. The Rev. J. Conley Grimes, who completes his first year at St. Peter's at Riverside, will return if the congregation that he is so acceptably serving is permit ted to have a voice in the matter. At the quarterly conference a formal re quest was made that, he return to Riv erside. The members of Trinity M. E. church liavo also invited their pastor. Rev. L. Dow Ott, to return. Mr. Ott is completing his second year at Trinity and his popularity seems to ho increasing as time wears on. Lifao Mr Grimes he will be pretty sure to return to bis charge.

Unless present plans are changed to day marks the final arguments in the first of the alleged capitol graft cases, the trial of Sanderson. Suyder, Shu maker and Mathues, accused of con spiracy in the "trimming" of the building. Oharles H. Bergner, Shumaker's special counsel,began his summing up when court opened. He was expected to close by the noon recess. Special Counsel Scarlet and Attorney General Todd are scheduled to finish their ad dresses for the commonwealth before night. Tomorrow, under this plan, Judge Kunkle will give his instructions to the jury and it is expected the jury will retire tomorrow afternoon. Just how long will be required for deliber ation is of course, a question. In view of the duration of the trial and the enormous mass of evidence presented, attorneys familiar with the situation predict many hours will be taken for consideration of the case. Predictions were made today in some quarters that a verdict will not be reached before Saturday, if at all. Judge Kunkle will hold the jurors together as long as there is any possibility of a verdict. On Monday morning as John Wit tacber, of Conyngham valley, Luzerne county, went into his barn to feed his live stock, carrying a bag of chopped feed, a wild cat pounced upon him.

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.
