COLE'S REPORT
FOR APRIL
Welcome to the gentle spring time,
when all nature is upspringing and
the little birds are singing.
April, as a rule, is a showery month
but this is a maximum with the mois
turo and vapors of the departing win
ter. Following many of the storms
there will he a change to cooler weath
er, with snow squalls and frost over
the central and northern sections of
the country. The storm period,central
the 31st of March, will ri ach its cul
mination during the first few days of
April. On or about the Bth a regular
Vulcan storm period will be due, and
heavy thunder storms will be in order.
The heaviest storms are likely to oc
cur during the last half of the mouth,
especially on or about the 20 and 23.
Full moon ocours on the 16th and
Easter Sunday is on the 19th, throw
ing it quite late this year; there is no
doubt but that a cold spell and unsea
sonable weather will occur about this
time, as there is generally a change to
cooler after the Full Moon.
The month begins with Moon in
Aries, the house of Mars, witli Saturn
a near neighbor, and there will be
twenty-one "high-Hood" days and
nine "low-ebb" days, therefore, from
the present outlook,the mouth will be
a very good one from a business stand
point: thore will be a noticeable im-
Xirovoment in the majority of indust
ries, and many fortunate results from
speculation. The markets will be very
active, but be careful and do not get
overbalanced. The suti being in sign
Aries is a good inducement for lambs
to bite. From about the 9th to the 15th
there are uncertain and threatening
times, with prices vaciliating.
Venus, the bright [shining star in
the golden west, will present a beauti
ful sight during the April evenings to
those who are fortunate enough to bo
where the clouds do not obstruct their
vision. Tho planet Jupiter will also
shine fortll with much brightness in
the west.
Friday, the 10th, and Saturday, the
11th, will be two very good days for
weeding and destroying all noxious ,
growth
Thursday, the 2nd ; Wednesday, the
15th, and Monday, tho 27th, will be
very good sow or plant grain
seed,grass seed,all seed where a quick,
rapid growth is desired.
Tuesday the 7th will be an excellent
day to plant flower seeds, or to trans
plant vegetable plants, vines, ro'e
bushes, berry bushes, etc.
Vegetation of any kind planted at
the right time needs but littlo cultiva
tion ouly when the vital forces are at i
"high Hood.'

Sunbary Ohurch Calls Pastor-
Zion'a Lutheran church in Sunbury
at a congregational meeting held on
Sunday, extended a call to Rev. J. M.
Francis, D. D.,of Springfield,lllinois,
to be the pastor of their church and
Buoceed the late Dr. J. H. Weber. Tho
salary was fixed at 91800 a year.
NEW PASTOR
AT ST. PAUL'S
The Rev. William Brill, appointed
at the Central Pennsylvania confer
ence to succeed the Rev. M. K. s Fost
er, oconpied the pulpit at St. Paul's
M. E. church for the (list time Sun
day. A good-sized congregation was
, present and the new pastor made a
good impression.
As a sound and logical expounder of
the gospel,a direct and forceful speak
er, judging from Sunday's effort,
Rev. William Brill stands second to
none of the preachers who have oc
cupied the pulpit at St. Paul's for
many years past.
The text was embraced in the 6th
and 7th verses of the second chapter
of the epistle of Paul to the Collos
sians: "As ye have, therefore, receiv
ed Ohrist Jesus, the Lord, so walk ye
in him
'' Rooted and built up in him and est
ablished in the faith, as ye have been
taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving."
Employing the text the speaker very
ably illustrated what constitutes the
essence of a genuine Christian life.
The beginning of a Christian life is
the receiving of Christ Jesus. It is
not making profession of religion, un
iting with the church, partaking of
the Lord's supper, contributing to the
church and living right in the com
munity, although all these things are
necessary. It is the receiving of Jesus
Ohrist himself. When a soul receives
Christ it receives wisdom, righteous
ness, and sanctification ; the personal
living Christ lives in him. Christ lives
in his people not as a precious mem
ory, as might be said of Washington
and other heroes cf the world's his
tory, but as a direct divine source of
spiritual life. The desires, and ambi
tions of the soul are all subject to His
will. Christ becomes the inspiration
of all the soul's activities.
England, America and many other
countries are spoken of as Christian
nations and yet the great mass of men
have not received Jesua Christ. Many
men, it is true, have embraced Ohrist
with the hope of escaping
world is not yet Christian in the ful
lest sense—has never received Christ
sincerelyNuid heartily as its Lord and
master. "ABye have therefore receiv
ed Jesus Ohrist, the Lord, so walk ye
iu Him."—which implies that we are
to grow up in Him. Wo are to walk
not in the teaching and doctrines of
Jesus Christ but with and ill Jesus
Ohrist,growing and advancing in Him
as a developing and transforming force.
In conclusion the sermon dealt witli
the condition and mode of the
Christian life. As implied by the
text,as a condition of his advancement
the Christian is to be rooted iu Christ
—not rooted iu spiritual doctrine but
rooted in Christ.
Many church members are iu the
habit of remarking that ou such a date
they sought religion as though the
bare act was alt that was necessary.
There was something iu their conduct
that suggested to the speaker the case
of a man who early in life was on
fortunate enougli to have the small
pox, but who in subsequent life found
satisfaction in adverting to the
circumstance as proof that he was im
mune from further attack of the dis
ease.
How inauy men and women of the
churches are more familiar with the
daily newspaper and the fashion plate
than the pages of the new testament.

A Good One from Milton.
The following is a pretty good one
from the Milton Standard :
"Not lon£ since a well-known resi
dent received a letter from a mail
order liquor house asking him to send
the names of twenty-five or thirty
moderate drinkers in the town. As a
joke ho sat down and wrote the names
of about two dozen pronounced Pro
hibitionists and church people and en
closed them in the stamped and ad
dressed envelope that had been sent
with the request. The matter had al
most been forgotten, when he received
a letter the other day enclosing a check
for nineteen dollars from the firm. He
didn't understand what it meant and
wrote to them for an explanation.
They replied that it was a commission
on the sales they had made to the per
sons whose names ho furnished them. "

BOROUGH SETTLES
WITH TIE STATE
On Saturday morning the borough
made a payment of $2132.54 to the
State, the same being Danville's share
of the oost of reconstructing North
Mill street under the act of May-1,
1905. The money was forwarded dim:t
to the State treasurer.
North Mill street as reconstructed
under the act,it will be reoalled, con
sisted of two sections. One section ex
tending from Oentre street to the steam
flouring mill, 1200 feet in length, WHS
paved and the remaining section, ex
tending from the flouring mill to a
short distance north of the P. & R.
railway crossing, 813 feet in length,
was macadamized.
The State under the act could recon
struct a space only twenty feet in
width. Under agreement between the
State and the borough the former
was to defray three-fourths and the
latter one-fourth of the total expense.
The certification sent hero by State
Highway Commissioner Joseph W.
Hunter shows that the total cost of
the 1200 feet of paving as constructed
by the State was 15,718.92, Danville's
share under the agreement being $1,4-
29.73. The total cost of the 813 foet
of macadam was 52,811.23. Danville's
share being $702 81.
North Mill street is thirty-two feet
in width. Consequently there remain
ed a strip twelve feet in width over
and above the twenty feet that the
State reconstructed. For the rei- in
struction of this 12-foot strip tll"e bor
ough entered into a sepirnte contrnct
with D. J. Rogers to whom the State
had awarded the contract for tiir- pav
ing and macadamizing 011 North Mill
street. The cost of reconstructing the
strip twelve feet wide was approxiatc
ly S6OOO. This along with some extras
and the sum paid the State as one
fourth of the cost of thy work douy
under the act brings the total amount
paid out by the borough for its share
in the improvements on North Mill
street up to nearly S9OOO.

A STRANGER'S
ODD PREDICAMENT
AD event considerably out of the
ordinary took plaoe in this city Fri
day. A well-dressed stranger who
was unable to give an account of him
self was found struggling in the oreek
near the stove works. His life was
saved by a very narrow margin.
As Michael Mollale, a moulder, was
on his way to work shortly before 7
o'olock Friday morning on crossing
the culvert on the D. L. & W. rail
road near the water tank his attention
was attraoted by an objeot in the
creek, which upon investigation prov
ed to be a man.
The poor fellow was on all-fours in
the water. Mr. MoHale called to him
but he seemed to be in a stupor,if not
unconscious. At this juncture Fritz
Becker and John Sherwood, two other
moulders, came along and willingly
lent Mr. Mcllale assistance in lifting
the man out of the creek.
The fellow's clothing was saturated
with water while the temperature at
that hour was quite down to the freez
ing point. In order that he might be
given the benefit of the warmth and
his olothing dried, still unconscious,
the man was carried to the bath house
connected with the.foundry of the
stove works.
Here his clothing was hung up to
dry aud he was dressed in a suit which
one of the workingmen had worn to
work that morning. Meanwhile a mes
senger was sent for Dr. Stock, who ar
rived at the stove works indue time.
Dr. Stock notified Officer Voris of
what had occurred and the latter ar
rived at the stove works a short time
after the doctor followed in a few
minutes by Chief Mincemoyer.
Meanwiiilo everything possible was
done to bring the man back to con
sciousness but without much success.
On hi person was found a watch and
chain sf <i.os in cash three e'ean col
lars, an extra necktie and two pairs of
clean sock- He was fairly well dress
ed
There was nothing to indicate that
the man had been drinking and the
physic inn could u l )' state for a cer
tainty what had brought about his mi
fortunate condition. In twidition to
tlm above named articles nu his jwr
son was found a time check of the
Greenwood mines at Miuoa*a, operat
ed h>' the D laware aud Hudson com
pany, which indicated that the man's
name was Michael Afahouey.
For rhe waut of a more suitable
placb the unconscious man was hauled
from the stove works to the hospital
room at the county jail, where ho was
put to br> . Here the Htrr.nger later re
gain-, d consciousness,although he still
seemed much bewildered and thought
he v as in Scranton.
It reasonably certaiu that the
man foil off the culvert into the creek,
but how long he had laiu in the water
when discovered is not known Mino
rca is about five miles from Scranton
aud in order to clear up the mystery,
if possible, the chief-of-police of Scran
ton wns called up by our officers Fri
day and acquainted with the affair.
In reply the Scranton chief said he
would send an officer out to Minooka
and see what could be learned about
the man.

Tiii ARRIVAL
OF KITTY
A play that causes the managers of
theatres to ask for early return dates
must have something of more than
passing interest to commend it, but
that has been the record "The Arrival
of Kitty" has attained this season.
The piece is from the pen of Norman
I.ee Swartout, a clever writer of com
edy, and is produced by C. S. Will
iams, a well known theatrical mana
ger. In every oity in which "The
Arrival of Kitty" has beeu seen thus
far this season, the managers of the
various tlieatros have requested that
au early return date be given them.
"It is the best oomedy we have played
in years" is tho universal comment.
Manager Edmondson of the Danville
opera house has secured this splendid
production at his theatre for tomorrow
night.

WILL SOW GRASS
SEED ON THE PARK
Now that wo have passed from March
into April and the graßS is begiuu ng
to spring up on the lawns about town
it would Beem to be nbout time to re
sume work on the public park, which
in its unfinished state presents a some
what neglected and desolate appear
ance.
Although practically completed as
far as grading extends there is yet a
great deal of work to be done on the
park mostly in the way of laying out
the grounds, and tho arranging of
trees, shrubbery and flower beds.
The Petriken cemetery legally aband
oned last fall, is not wholly completed
and ready to be thrown into the park.
In addition a small portion of the
large tract still remains to be graded
and will require a considerable amount
of filling up.
The committee has planned to BOW
grass seed on tho park and this branch
of the work will be clone at the proper
season. The general plan also calls for
some additional trees as well as sever
al flower bods. Ono of the latter will
be placed in the triangle embraced be
tween the gravel walks leading from
the Bite of the soldiers' monument to
the pavement on each Bide of Upper
Mulberry street.
The liitcli that has occurred ill the
erection of tlie soldiors' monument, it
is feared,may have the effect of delay
ing the completion of the park. It was
learned, too, from the committee yes
terday, that all th© money subscribed
and paid into the park fund has been
used up in carrying the work to its
present stage aud that nothing more
can be done on the park until more
funds are received. From the very first
it was made plain that the borough
could furnish none of the money re
quired to establish the park. Tha
money ueertsil to put on the finishing
touches therefore, like that required
to pay for grading, &c., will have to
be donated by the pbulia;
Probably some action will be taken
on the matter at tiie meeting of coun
cil tonight. It would be unfortunate
if any delay were to occcr that would
hold back improvements. Tiie park
will not only be a beauty spot but it
will also constitute a recreation ground
very much needed in Danville and the
public have been looking hopefully for
ward to its completion at tho very
earliest day.

Preparing for Summer Bathiag.
There is a movement on foot in the
V. M. C. A. and among others in Dan
ville to improve conditions on the riv
er as relate to bathing. The popular
idea seems to be to erect a building 011
the opposite side of the river to be
used as a dressing room and as a gen
eral headquarters for the bathers.
The best place ahrog the river for
bathing is on the opposite side just
below Blue hill. There the bottom is
the best and the water the cleanest.
Large numbers of people each summer
show their prcferouce by bathing 011
that spot.
It is believed that the river at that
point could be still further improved
as a bathing ground and those who
have tho bathing house in view con
template the building of a wall ami
the cleaning up of tho bottom of the
river also.
It is believed that a building stat
able for the purpose could be erected
if each person who baths 011 tho spot
should contribute a small sum The
number of bathers is so Jarge that all
tho money needed could be raised with
out anyone of the contributors feeling
it.
The project is an admirable one. It
is a happy circumstance that the Y.
M. O. A. is linked with the move
ment. Under such auspices the best of
mauagement is assured and the pro
ject can hardly fail.
A True (ienlleman.
Read this over, some of yoa who
like to believe that you are gentle
men, and see if you measure up to the
standard :
A man that's clean inside and out
side; who neither looks up to the rich
or down to the poor; who cau lose
without squealing ; who can win with
out bragging, considerate to women,
children aud old people; who is too
brave to lie, too generous to'cheat and
too sensible to loaf; who takes his
share of the worlds' goods aud lets the
other people have'theiis—that is the
ideal conception of"a true gentleman.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo 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 wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
