Catawissa, that usually quiet village
up the river,is in the throes of a cloak
man scare just at the present time.
The man is said to wear a big black
ulster, and it seems to be his delight
to scare women and children.
Several days ago a well-known
womau was walking down Main street
at about 9 o'clock in the evening, when
suddenly a big mau in a great black
coat stepped out from behind a tree
and approached her. She was frighten
ed so badly that she startod to run,
ana while making efforts to escape
him lost her false teeth. He followed
her for a few steps, and then turned
and ran away.
On another occasion he followed
two little boys, aud scared them so
badly that they went into hysterics.
The matter has been called to the
attention of the town council, and an
effort will he made to locate, and if
possible, arrest the man.

HAND SEVERED
BY CIRCULAR SAW
A bad accident ocourred on the farm
of George Baruhart, near Rushtowu,
Monday afternoon, in whioh a hard
working and industrious mun w«
maimed for life.
The injured man was E. R. Barn
hart, brother of Oeorgo Barn hart, who
for many years of his life resided in
the West, his home more reoentlv be
ing in Omaha, Neb. About the holi
days he catue East on a visit and since
that time has spent much of the time
with his brother near liushtown.
Monday George Baruhart was en
gaged in sawing wood, using a cir
cular saw, operated by a gasoline en
gine. Tiie brother from the West vol
unteered to assist at the work and took
his position along side the saw to
throw away the wood as fast as it was
cut.
About 4 o'clock a couple of pieces of
edging fell down between the saw aud
the frame in which it was set. E.
R. Baruhart with his left hand reach
ed down to remove the edgings,whioh
seemed to be in the way. As he with
drew his hand holding the sticks he
came too near the saw and quick as
lightning the rapidly revolving teeth
severed his hand, cutting diagonally
across the palm aud leaving only a
stump remaining.
The man was driven to town as
rapidly as possible. At the office of
Dr. C. Shultz he received treatment,
after which he was removed to the
Joseph Ratti hospital.
The injured man is unmarried and
is 53 years of age.

ttiiiio it is true that affairs relating

summer.
The lailure of the grand jury to
recommend the expenditure of more
than live thoasaud dollars for the mou
umout was u great disappointment to
the committee and makes 15 clear that
if the monument is to be erected the
design and siieciflcatious will have to
be much mouthed.

soldiers' monument committee is
authority for tiie statement that the
mounment will be built during the
coming year. Instead of some thirteen
thousand dollars, which was the cost
of the memorial contemplated, unlesß
a handsome contribution comes from
some barely nine thousand
dollars will bo available. This amount
however, Mr. Foster states will bo
sulHcient to build a monument, al
though it Is a matter of very great re
gret that the stately desigu created
especially for the site in the park may
have to be abandoned and something
altogether different adopted.

ABOUT THE
APRIL PRIMARY
A very general misnuderstanding ex
ists as to the qualifications of voters
at the spring primary to be held on
April 11th. Many people think that a
Demoorat can vote for some Democrats
and some Repbulicaus. at that elec
tion, and many also think that a Re
publican can vote for any persons for
nomination on the Democratic tioket
and vice versa. The faot that the
primary election is held under the law
by the regular election board has led
to this conclusion.
The uniform primaries law, approv
ed February 17. 1906, provides that the
county commissioners shall prepare
and furnish to the election officers for
use at the primaries, as many official
ballots of each party as are equal to
double the total number of votes cast
for any candidate of said party with
in the election district at the last gen
eral election aud the names of all the
candidates for nomination by the
Democratic party will be printed on
one ballot aud the names of all the
candidates for nomination by the Re
pubiclan party will be printed on an
other ballot. When a voter enters the
polls he will bo required to announce
which ballot he desires to have and
the election officers will furnish him
with ballot of the party for which he
asks. It will thus bo seen that no vot
er can vote for some Republican and
some Democrats because he can only
receive one ballot.

Preparing for Spring Trade.
The merchants of town have as fine
stocks of goods for spring aud summer
trade as can be found anywhere, not
excepting the large cities. A visitor to
the stores is surprised to see what im
mense lines of goods they carry. The
merchants anticipate large sales in the
next two or three months. While the
people are looking around for the store
which sells tlieni goods at the lowest
possible prices, the wise merchant will
attract their attention by telling them
in the advertising columns of the
newspapers where they can goto get
the best for the least mouey. There is
no doubt that the people are doing
some hard thinking at the present
time. Conditions have caused many
families to plan au economical cam
paign this spring. Becauso of this the
family scans the advertising columns
of the newspapers to ascertain what
store it should visit to secure the most
advantageous buying.

WHO REMEMBERS
"BILLY BROWN ?"
Nin«ty-six years of age, hale and
hearty and as frolicsome aB a boy—a
man still living, who emigrated to
America before the octogenarians of
our town were born—such are some of
the noteworthy facts connected with
the life of William Brown, a former
resident of Danville, who dropped in
to the Montour house Saturday even
ing.
The aged man, who was on his way
from Wilkea-Barre to Philipßburg,
Clearfield oounty, dropped off the 7 :51
Pennsylvania train at the south side
and came over to Danville for the pur
pose of looking up old acquaintances.
He was easily recalled by many of our
older residents.
For an hour or more the man afforded
rare entertainment by his reminis
cences of Danville, by his cute observa
tions and his keen wit.
When our courthouse was built he
hauled the first load of stone used in
its construction from Pineoe's quarry
libove town. At an earlier day when a
building boom was ou he purchased
two lots near what is now the Han
over brewery and built a house, which
is still standing. For many years he
was engaged in hauling for the Grove
Brothers. During the reign of terror
caused by the "Mollie Maguires" he
was with Alexander Rea at Oentralia.
He built several houses in the coal
regicn and for many years before the
railroads became a factor he was en
gaged in teaming over this section.
He gave a description of Dauvillo in
the early days of the canal and named
all the prominent families.
The old gentleman was a master of
polite sarcasm. Upon being asked
where be resided he replied :
"Do you know where Philipsburg
is—the poor-ist town in America?
Well, I live a mile beyond that yet,
stir."
He owns a house and lot, but the
coal miuiug industry has advanced be
yond that section, leaving the com
munity without resources, while the
abandoned mines have drained the
water out of the farms. The object of
his visit, he said, is to try to sell his
place, but he added, with a twinkle
in his eye; "If I can't sell it, I will
give it away."
William (or Billy Brown as ho was
known) was born in Ireland, but emi
grated to America eighty-two years
ago, when he was fourteen years of
age. Immediately upon landing, he
said, he resolved to associate with the
best American people. He according
ly learned to talk Dutoh and at present
he can converse as fluently in that
language as the average '' Pennsylvania
Dutchman."
He attributes his sound health and
unimpaired faculties at the age of
ninety-six to the fact that during his
life lie lias avoided indulgence in the
tobacco and whiskey habit. He neith
er drinks, smokes nor chews tobacco.
He apparently has no thought of retir
ing even at his advanced age and on
Saturday night he explained a paying
project lie has in view for next year,
which is nothing lees than the raising
of sheep and the growing of onions on
a largo scale, on the abandoned lands
of Clearfield county. He expects to
realize big money.
Mr. Brown's father and his grand
father in Ireland were staunch Whigs.
When ho arrived in America he decid
ed as far as possible to follow in the
footsteps of his worthy progenitois
and he accordingly voted the Republi
can ticket. He has been a follower of
that party all through life.
Mr. Brown served two years and one
month in the civil war as a member
of Company I, 96th regiment under
Col. Cake. He has not yet received a
pension,although he has made applica
tion. He intimated that there is no
particular hurry in the matter,as there
are many years ahead of him in which
to enjoy a pension.
Never Outside of Two Counties-
Atlhough he is fifty-seven years of
age, Richard Umstead.of Bloomsburg,
until Saturday morning had never
been outside of Montour and Colum
bia counties, with the exception of a
visit made to Miltou several years ago.
However,ou Saturday he left for New
York City,where ho will visit for sev
eral days with his daughter Mrs.
Elijah Strohm.
Mr. Umstead intends making his in
itial trip one of pleasure and will
make up for all these years he has been
staying at home. He will take in all
the sights of the big city. He has been
reading of New York City considera
bly of late,and thinks he will have no
trouble in getting around.although ho
says he will shun Chinatown.

eemed and nearly life-long residont of

STREET SWEEPING
A PROBLEM
A force of men were put to work by
tlio borough scraping Mill street, Sat
urday morning.
Since North Mill street has bee:
added to the paved territory the bor
ough finds itself confronted with a
much weightier proposition when it
comes to street sweeping. It is a ques
tion whether the primitive method
employed last year will not have to be
improved upon the coming summer.
Certain it is that one man with shovel
and hand cart will not be able to keep
the long Btretch of paving clean.
Whether another man and cart should
be installed and the duplicate outfit
kept at work on North Mill street or
a modern sweeper drawn by horses
should be adopted to keep the entire
stretch of paving clean is a question
that is already being discussed among
the councilmon. There is little doubt
that since North Mill street has been
paved and the length of paving is
doubled that council will decide to be
progressive in the matter and adopt
some modern method of cleaning.
Neighboring towns employ sweepers
drawn by either one or two horses.
Moreover, the cleaning is mostly done
in the night time so as to spare people
on the street annoyance from the dust.
The problem is oue that will have
to be solved forthwith, for from the
present moment dirt will begin to ac
cumulate on the paving and to permit
it to remain beyond a single day would
be to contribute to an eyesore and a
nuisance. Street sweeping will be the
order from now on.

In any condition of the female system,
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can do
only good—never harm. Its whole effect
Is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate I
the whole female system and especially !
the pelvic organs. When these are de
ranged in function or affected by disease,
tho stomach and other organs of digestion
become sympathetically deranged, the
nerves are weakened, and a long list of
bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too
much must not b<> expected of this "Fa
vorite Prescription." It will not perform
miracles; will not cure tumors —no med
icine will. It will often prevent them, If
taken in time, and thus the operating
table and the surgeon's knife may be
avoided.
Women suffering from diseases of long
standing, are invited to consult Doctor
Pierce by letter, free. All correspondence

blood will attack the
vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bla'dder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may f-'' 7 "*

this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that >di£jjL' rl-'iaba?

Does Your
Heart
Yes. 100,000 times each day.
Does it send out good blocd
or bad blood? You know, for
good blood is good health;
bad blood, bad health. And
you know precisely what to
take for bad blood Ayer's
Sarsaparilla. Doctors h«ve
