NEW ONIT IN
COIIISSION
Tiie now unit at the municipal light
plant went into commission Saturday
night. An improvement of the light
was one of tiie things not ligured on,
as the light always lias been of tiie
very best. The new engine and dyn
amo, therefore assumed their burden
very unostentatiously, and compara
tively few persons knew that the elec
tricity illuminating tiie streets was
being generated by the modern and
expensive unit that for a mouth past
lias been the centre of so much inter
est at the light plant.
The current was put on Saturday
afternoon for the lirst time. As might
have been expected of machinery so
perfect the new unit carried its load
admirably. Indeed, the engine and
dynamo each ran like a piece of clock
work. The unit was started up a
couple of times during the afternoon
by way of trial and after some read
justment about the engine it wai left
stand until (i:2O o'clock, when, with
out any special ceremony, it assumed
the burden of lighting the town.
The new unit is a ponderous affair
and.fully equipped for service, affords
an object lesson to show the rapid pro
gress made in the field of discovery
and invention during a few years past.
Very few people in Danville have over
-eeu a unit that is just like it and dur
ing Saturday quite a number of per
sons dropped in at the wator works to
sec the modern light plant.
S. N. Castle, electrician, represent
ing the Allis-Chaliners company, had
charge of the unit the flrstjuight Ed
ward F. Bell, the regular engiuoer,
was also OJ duty.
The borough is now supplied with
two units. The engine and dynamo
installed when the borough entered
upon its own lighting and which has
been very hard worked, will now be
given a much needed rest and will be
kept purely as a relay to bo used in
case of accident to prevent the town
from being left in darkness.
-Messrs. lloffeditz and Castle the two
exports who have been with us while
the unit was being installed,will now
take their departure. Both men, not
only demonstrated their skill and abil
ity as experts, but also the fact that
they are (rue gentlemen with A finely
developed social side to their natures.
Naturally they made many friends
who will remember them kindly tor a
long time to come.

RESIGNATION OF
SECOND LIEDTENANT
Captain F. M. Herriugtou lias re
ceived a communication from the ad
jutant general accepting the resigna
tion of Frank N. Keefer, second lieut
enant of Company F, 12th regiment,
N. G. P. An election to choose a suc
i cesaors will probably be held about May
7th.
Second Lieutenant Keefer tendered
his resignation a couple of weeks ago.
A period of ten days will have to
elapse between the sending out of
notices and the date of election, which
will afford ample time for tiie mem
bers to cast about for a successor to
Mr. Keefer.
The places of the enlisted men who
lost their membership in the company
through non-attendance at drills have
been tilled by new recruits, all of
wltoiu are first-class men, combining
all those qualities that goto make
good soldiers. Vacanoie3 are continu
ally occurring by reason of enlist
ments expiring and other causes, and
Captain Herrington says that the com
pany can always find room for good
men.
Now that such earnest efforts are be
ing put fortli to build up a company
in Dauville it would be too badjif our
citizens were to lose sight of the op
portunity to obtain an armory. It is
a fact that one of those stately $25,010
buildings is within reacli of Dauville.
Other progressive towns have already
got busy and there are none of tlietn
that need an armory as bad); as Dau
ville does.
Each of the towns aro assured au
armory,furnished a site as a gift from
the municipality, and this seems to ba
a condition that is necessary in every
case, if tiie dream to procure au arm
ory is to be realized anywhere in tho
near future.
Tiie first fctep tak'u by those towns
that have succeeded was to appoint a
committee to get into touch with tho
armory board. Tiie next tiling was to
enlist tho support of the most influent
ial citizens of the town. Beyond this
point, whore the municipality reveal
ed enough enterprise to douato a site,
everything seemed easy. Both Potts
ville aud Williamsport, which are on
the list of successful towns, furuishod
a site for the armory free aud tli us se
cured the whole sum, $25,000, for the
building proper.
The above embodies merely a few
suggestions, which should ba of value
at the present time if our citizens de
sire to place Danville in liue for an
armory.

Easter Brought Rainy Weather.
The weather conditions on Easter
were anything but ideal.
A rain set in about noon Saturday,
which continued during the evening.
Tho unpleasant conditions, however,
were not sufficient to chill the Easter
spirit aud, notwithstanding the rain,
Mill street was crowded Saturday
evening and the stores where East* r
goods were on sale were crowded for
hours.
It was thought, however, that the
rain Saturday would insure fair weath
er on Easter,but the hopeful ones were
doomed to disappointment. Sunday
brought more rain in the form of
showers, which began early and con
tinued nearly all day.
About ten o'clock the sky brighten

TO REPEAL THE
MERCANTILE TAI
C. E. Swimey, an accredited repre
sentative of the Business Association
of Pennsylvania,circulated among the
business men of Danville Friday in
the interest of a movement to secure
the repeal of the mercantile tax. By
Friday afternoon nineteen] merch
ants had been called npon, each of
whom made a contribution to assist in
carrying 011 the work.
Mr. Swaney has canvassed Sunbury,
Williamsport and other towns in this
section of the State. Everywhere he
says, he finds ready cooperation.
The Business Association of Penn
sylvania regards the mercantile tax as
an unwarranted burden placed upon
tlio shoulders of the merchants. Un
der the terms of the act the board of
mercantile appraisers is empowered to
assess and appraise each and every
business or commercial establishment
according to an arbitrary rating.
Previous attempts to repeal'the law
met with defeat,'the objection urged
against it being that it would deplete
the treasury of the Commonwealth
Mr. Swaney,the representative, points
out that this argument 110 longer lias
auy weigtit, as the revenues of the
State are now over $9,000,000 in ex
cess of the actual expenditures of the
State government.
It is the intention of the Business!
Association of Pennsylvania to make
an organized effort by endeavoring to
have evtv business man in the State
t'i .sign the petition to his member in
the legislature to vote for and support
this bill when it comes before that
body. 111 order to meet the incidental
expenses the merchants who become
identified with the movement are ask
ed by tlie association to contribute one
dollar.

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
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes tha f
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-' - V" - *
