TIE SUPERVISORS'
CONVENTION
W. B. 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,

Plenty Hore Like This In Danville.
Scores of Danville people can tell

of it. What better proof of merit can
be had than such endorsement? j
Leo Metzger, living at 264 West Mali i

"About a year ago I suffered so sev- j
erely from pains through my back ;
that" I was soarely nolo to walk, and |
it was difficult for me to straighten j
when first arising in the morning At >
times there was a (lull pain across my j
kidneys wlule at others shooting J
twinges would pass through my back ;
and would be especially severe if I j
contracted a cold. The kidney seore- j
tious were in a disordered condition, |
being t'"»o frequent in action and pass
ages attended with a scalding sensa
tion. I had read so much about Doan's
Kidney Pills that I fiually had mv
wife procure a box for me at Hunt's
drug store. I used only half the con
tents of ouo box when a decided change
for the better in my condition result
ed. From that clay to this I have had
no trouble with my back or kidneys

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

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.
COURT GRANTS A RULE.
Jugde Evans accordingly granted a
rule on the connty commissioners of
Clinton county and the overseers of
the poor of Lock Haven to show cau*e
why the poor district of Lock Haven

APPLICATIONS FOB
FREE TREATMENT
Dr. G. A. 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.

Odd Fellows at Shamokin.
| Shamokin will be the mecca for Odd
! Fellows the 28ih of next month, when
the 89tli anniversary will be celebrat

j which characterizes the order. Ten
j thousand members of the I. O. O. F.

Preparations on an elaborate scale
are now being made by committees
and everything possible will be done
to insure the visitors hospitality and
i enjoyment while in Shamokin.
April 28 is known as "Odd Fellows'
Day"and each year demonstrations
, are held. Shamokin was chosen as the
place for this year's gathering and the
town will eudeavor to outdo itself in
; the matter of entertaining the visiting
j hosts.
Six counties, inolnding Montour,
compose this district and every one cf
them will send large delegations. The
j business sessions will be held in the
| V. M. O. A. building while the head
quarters will be the Windsor and
Graemar hotels.
The town will begin to take on a
festive appearance a week before the
anniversary. A skilled decorator from
i'aterson, N. J. has been hired to de
: corate the streets and buildings of the
city and arches will be erected at var
ious points.
The Odd Fellows will be there for
two days and during that time busi
ness of great importance to the organ
ization will be transacted. A parade
will be one of the features of the gath
ering.
Committees from the Shamokin
lodges are now making a tour of the
town in an effort to secure funds to
defray the expenses of the decorations.

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

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

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.

Graft to Jury Today.
HARRISBURG, March 11.
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.
Under the weight feed and the
animal, lie fell to the floor and for a
short time there waa a fierce struggle
between the man and the beast in
which Wittacher was badly scratched
until he beat the animal away with a
board.
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 mistaka
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
