BOROUGH SUP'T
NOT ELECTED
The borough school directors met in
triennial convention Tuesday eve for
the purpose of electing a borough sup
erintendent. The session was a lengthy
one, bat the board failed to come to
an agreement and there was no elec
tion.
But one candidate was nominated— l
D. N. Dieffeubacher, the present in
cumbent, who has filled the position
for the last seven months, since U. L.
Gordy's resignation.
It soon became apparent that the di
rectors were not a unit as related to
the candidate. After a lengthy discus
sion, on motion of Mr. Fischer,it was
ordered that the board proceed to vote
on the candidacy of Mr. Dieffeubach
er.
A vote was taken with the following
result:
Yeas—Orth, Fish, Fischer, Foulk,
Heiss, Cole.
Nays—Pursel, Swarts, Bums, Seoli
ler, Barber.
Not voting—Redding.
There were six yeas and five nays.
Seven, the majority of the twelve mem
bers of the board, were required to
elect and the motion, therefore, was
declared lost
Tho board adjourned after arranging
to meet in adjourned session at 9
o'clock on next Monday night for the
purpose of electing a borough superin
tendent.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
'nut of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but au inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars i
for any case of Deafness (caused by |
catarrh) that cannot he cured by Hall's j

'LUMBERMEN
TRACK A BEAR
R. N. Lyons, Elmer Lyons and
Charles Keefer, lumberman in the em
ploy of the Catawissa Paper Mill com
pany, are (irmly convinced that the
ridge between Dutch and Frosty val
leys, only a few miles from Danville,
is the habitat of a bear, one of tho
biggest of its kind.
Bruin was tracked in the soft
ground Friday forenoon and he was
only a short distance ahead of the
men. Each of the party is a woods
man of life-long experience and it is
safe to affirm that he knows bear's
tracks when lie sees them.
The three men were walking down
an old road used for hauling lumber
on the north side of the ridge on the
Dewald tract, when they encountered
the bears' tracks. The latter seemed
to come down from the bushes and
followed the old road for some dist
ance.
The bear at one jilace walked through
a mud puddle leaving in the soft
ground his well-defined footprints. He
was a monster, if his tracks be any
criterion. Bruin had stepped out of
the mud and water unto a big stone,
which was still wet where the boar's
foot had left its imprint,showing that
tho animal had passed that way less
than five minutes before the men
came.
The lumbermen state that there is a
large tract of woodland in that local
ity. which together with the old ore
mines, affords au excellent home for
bears.
CURE YOUR KIDNEYS.
Do Not Endanger Life When a
Danville Citizen Shows You
the Cure.
Why will people continue to suffer
the agonies of kidney complaint, back
ache, urinary disorders, lameness,
headaches, languor, |why allow them
selves to become chronic invalids, ;
when a certain cure is offered them? j
Doau's Kidney Pills is the remedy
to use, because it gives to the kidneys
the help they need to perform their
work.
If jou have any, even one, of the
symptoms of kidney diseases, cure
yourself now, before diabetes, dropsy
or Bright's disease sets in. Read this
Danville testimony :
3fMrs. Edward Diehl, living at 310
Church street, Danville, Pa., says:
"I used Dnan's Kidney Pills with ex
cellent results and recommend them as
a valuable kidney remedy. When 1
began using tliem I was suffering from
severe pains through the smnll of my
back and other evidences of disorered
kidneys. I prooured Dnan's Kidney
Pills at Hunt's drug store, and they
effectively banished every symptom of
my complaint. I give Doau's Kidney
Pills my hearty endorsement."

Names for Farmers' Homes,
The Grange Mews says: A new
grange ritual for use in the ceramoin
al dedicaton of grange farmers' homes
has been written by Mortimer White
head, of New Jersey. It is not yet
promulgated for general use but at tho
next meeting of the national grange it
is expected that the ritual will be ap
proved and its use authorized. The
idea is that grange farm houses should
be named or the farm should be de
signated by approrpiate title,as River
view Farm.Brookside Home, Femcliff
Farm, or any appropriate descriptive
appellation. Brother Whitehead's idea
is to make this formal dedication a
noteworthy occasion. He assembles
the local grange on the lawn iu the
summer time, each officer occupying
his allotted pisitiou. Surrouudiug
them are the grange members and vis
itors. On the porch the name of the
house to he dedicated is concealed un
til the moment for unveiling arrives,
when it is revealed to the assemblage
with due ceremony. The ritual is
beautifully written and compares
more than favorably with anything
now in use by the grange.

stipation is iu danger of many serious

Report? Arel Exaggerated.
Adverting to the reported destruc
tion of this year's fruit crop, by tho
recent freezing weather and the snow
in some sections of this State, which
as usual is an exaggeration of actual
conditions, the Pittsburg Dispatch
says:"lt is the presumption of those
unfamiliar with fruit growing that
every frost is fatal that gives currency
to the stale joke about the frequent
destruction of the peach crop. Peach
trees bloomed iu unusual abundance
this year.. They were subjected to
light touches of frost while in full
bloom and suffered no injury, at least
ground. Iu some sections they
showed no 3ign of harm yesterday.
Yet the tiny fruit may liavo been so
weakened that all will fall from the
branches. Then, again, mauy peaches
may goto maturity. It is so with oth
er fruits. The ordinarily hardy apple
was caught in open blossum—its most
tender stage—but a few days will bo
required to determine whether there
will be no apples. A so-called "black
frost" in May, 1891, precoded an
autumn famed for its abundance of
fruit of all kinds."

GIVES CUP FOR
RELAY RACE|
The plans for the amateur athletic
meet to bo held at DeWitt's park on
May 23rd, by the Y. M. O. A. and
high school are developing rapidly
aud the promoters are meeting with a
degree of success which surpasses their
expectations.
A public spirited citizen has agreed
to furnish the silver cup to be used as
the trophy for the relay race. It is al
so expected the high school athletic
association will assist financially.
Physical Director Ainsworth yester
day received a sample of the medals
that are to be offered as prizes for the
different events. The medal is mount
ed as a watch fob and is the regula
tiou Y. M. O. A. prize medal. This

MANY CASES
OF PNEUMONIA
Tlio effects of the sadden aud mark
ed changes of weather that character
ize the present season are apparent in
the increased number of pneumonia
cases shown by the report of the local
registrar to the bureau of vital sta
tistics for April. There are eleven
cases of pneumonia on the list, which
exceed the number reported in any
one month before. Four of the eleven
caßes proved fatal.
The local registrar is of the opinion
that in not a few instauces the pneu
monia has resulted from exposure and
the habit of laying aside winter un
derclothing witli the advent of the
first warm days, which experience has.
shown is sure to be followed by cold
weather before spring finally comes.
Beyond pneumonia there were few
cases of disease during April. The
most serious was diphtheria, of which
there were live cases There was only
one case of typhoid fever. There was
one case of chicken pox, two cases of
mumps, and two cases of whooping
cough.
There were twenty-nine deaths dur
ing the month, ten of which occurred
at the hospital for the insane.
The births for April are not as yet
all reported to the local registrar.
For March the number was twenty
nine, which by a coincidence balances
the deaths reported l'or April.

A MODERN
COAL POCKET
The machinery is being installed in j
the modern coal pocket, which is be- \
ing erected by Robert J. Pegg between j
the D, L. & W. railroad and North
umberland street near Mahoning creek.
L. H. Pierce, of Chicago, the erect
ing engineer, is on the ground aud ex
pects to remain until the pocket is ill
operation, which, he states,will be in
the course of ten days.
The modern coal pocket differs from
anything of its kind in this section.
The plant is being furnished by the
Howe Scale company of Illinois.
Among the advantages claimed for the
system is that it not only facilitates
the handling of coal aud leads to a re
markable saving of labor hue it also
prevents breakage, which by any oth- :
er method of handling coal, is a factor j
worth taking into account, detracting
as it does considerably from the value
of coal. Breakage in this type of pock- j
et, Mr. Pierce states, is from three to :
five per cent less than when coal is \
shoveled off the car.
In the case of a modern coal pocket j
the coal is dumped from the car into j
a hopper under the track and elevated
from there into the pocket with an in- j
clined Harrison conveyor operated by j
a Howe gasolene engine.
Distinguishing features of the mod- j
eru coal pocket are the Sackett screen
wagon spout and the screen and big
ger with which it is equipped. By the
process employed not a pound of coal t
can leave the pockets without being ;
thoroughly screened. It is here that ;
the labor saving occurs quite as much
as iu unloading the cars aud tilling
the pookets
By means of the screeu and bagger a
ton of coal can be bagged iu one min
ute By means of the screen wagon
spout a wagon box cau be filled with I
loose —thorough)}' screened—coal in a j
few seconds of time. In either case j
one man is all that is needed and about
all that remains for him to do is to
manipulate the levers opening and
closing the pockets. There are twelve
spouts in all. The modern coal pocket
is a massive wooden structure and is
quite a conspicuous object among the
buildings iu the lower part of town, j

Bricklayers Are at Work.
The hundred and odd men employed
ou the new buildings at the hospital
for the in>ane were obliged to quit
work about JOitfO o'clock yesterday
forenoon owing to the rain The nieu
were loath to throw down their tools,
hoping ratiier that the rain would
prove to be only a shower: but at the
hour above named there was no sign
of abatement and the clothes of the
workingmen were becoming uncom
fortably wet. A decision to quit was
accordingly arrived at.
Work on the buildings has been hin
dered very much by rainy weather aud
the contractors naturally desire to put
in as full time as possible. That au
immense amount of work has been ac
complished in spite of obstacles dur
ing the month that the buildings havo
been under way all must admit.
The brick layers are now at work
on the female infirmary Tin fifteen
courses of buff brick, laid ou the wall
of the kitchen wing harmonizes very
nicely with the cut browu stone and
no one can doubt that the effect of the
combination will be most pleasing
when the structure is completed.
There are at present sixteen brick
layers and twenty !-tone masous em
ployed. A number of these men have
beeii with Mosier aud Sommers for
many years. Work is now under way
on all tliree of the' buildings. The
most of the stone masons are employ
ed on the building for the acute insane
ou the female side,while at the build-
I ing for the acute insane malo patients,
the excavation for which is complet
ed, the workmen are laying the con
crete foundation, ou which the walls
will be built.
Along with the airay of workmen
seven teams are employed, the latter
mostly hauling material from the cars
to the site of the buildings. One can
not help bur admire the system aud
the discipline that characterizes the
whole operation audit does not seem
at ill improbable that the contractors
will realize their expectations aud
have the buildings under roof beiore
wiuter.

James Lake Painfully Injured.
James Lake, who conducts a repair
shop ou Nortli Mill street, met with a
serious accident Saturday afternoon
while operating a lathe.
He was in the act of throwing off
the belt when his sleeve caught in the
machinery, wlich drew his right arm
uuder the clutch of the lathe. The
man's forearm was shockingly mangl
ed. an artery being severed.
Mr. Lake received treatment at the
office of Dr. P. C. Newbaker, who
ligatured the severed artery.

NUMBERING BOIES
ON R. F. B. ROUTES
| By a recent ruling of the post office
| department tho boxes on the thousands
j of rural routes in the United States
! are ordered to be numbered. The num
ber is to be assigned by the post mast
er to the box owners and this number
must at once be legibly and durably
inscribed by the owner in a conspicu
ous place on the outside of the box.
Notice to the abovo effect has been
sent oat from the local post iftioe to
box owuers on the several r. 112. d.
routes leading from Danville. Accom
panying the notice is the number as
signed by the postmaster to be placed
upon the box. The order is to be car
ried out at the box owners earliest
convenience.
j An arrangement is made whereby
1 new boxes may be installed between
those numbered consecutively with
out leading to confusion or inconveni
j euce. In case it should become neces
sary to place boxes between two oth
j ers, numbered say, 4 and 5 the new
boxes would be "4 a," "4 b," and
j 4 c." in succession.
| No one seems to have any clear idea
as to why the boxes are to be number
; ed—what purpose is to bo served.

CRAYON ARTIST
AND CHALK TALKER
' The late Edwin Barret Smith, one
of the board of managers of the Young
Men's Christian Association, of Chic
ago, speaks of the work of Mr. Little,
who will appear in the Y. M. C. A. '
hall Saturday eveniug, as follows:
Geo. Little,
ented one of his popular lectures in |
the regular lecture course of the Chio- j
ago Young Men's Christian Associa- !
tion.
"The entertainment was a delight
ful one. and a large audience present
(about two thousand) greatly enjoyed
the evening. The rapidity and variety \
of lu's work keeps the audience con
stantly on the alert for the many good
points in which it abounds. Mr. Lit
tle is a man of high character, pleas
ing address and .extraordinary skill
with the crayon. He has also recent
ly appeared in the Armour Mission
where he amused and instructed a
large audience (over one thousand)
containing many children and youth.
His work seems to be equally well ap
preciated by old and young. Every
lecture course should include one of
I his lectures."
General admission to this lecture
will be 25c. Children fourteen and
under 10 cents. Tickets now on sale
at the Y. M. C. A. and by members of
the " Anchor Club."
Ohurcb Door 3 Barred to Pastor.
With the doors of the Lutheran
church at Trevorton barred against
him tho Rev Mr. Hever, who remain
ed the unwelcome pastor for over a
year awaiting the "divine call," will
in all probability cease to look for
heavenly manifestations and take him
self to other fields.
After waiting in vain fur tho pastor
to vacate, the trustees Sunday adopt
ed drastic measures and when Mr.
| Hcyer arrived at the sacred edifice to
hold the regular service he found the
doors locked and the trustees standing
on the steps. An exchange of greet
ings followed and after becoming sat
-1 isfied that he could not gain entrance
into the church the pastor departed.
This church war is one of the most
interesting in the history ot Northum
berland county. Ordered out by the
parishioners, told to vacate by tic
elders of his church and commanded
j to leave by the conference, Rev. lleyer
persisted in his determination to await
the coming of the "divine call." At
i first a fairly large sized congregation
attended the services but for the past
six months the number steadily dim
: inished, until it dwindled down to
i three or four loyal parishiouers.
The pastor's salary was reduced to a
mere pittance, but still lie; remained.
Now that he can no longer have the
| church at his disposal it is thought
that Rev. Heyer will leave the town.
The next pastor will face a difficult
task in the reorganization of the dis
rupted congregation.
Arranging for Memorial Day.
The G. A. R. memorial service will
be held at Piue Street Lutheran church
on Sunday, May 24th,at 10:80 o'clock.
The sermon will be preached by the
pastor, the Rev. Lloyd W. Walter.
The comrades will meet at G. A. R.
1 hall at 9:30 a. m.on the day of the
1 service. An invitation is extended to
1 the Sons of Veterans or any other org
' auization that may desire to attend.
Goodrich Post has appointed com
mittees and is otherwise preparing for
Memorial day.
The man who knows more than is
good for him is a sad case of over-de
velopment.

erican's sporting editor, has an article

TO PROMOTE
GOOD SANITATION

measure has been adopted in the
Twelfth regiment to promote good
sanitation and habits of cleanliness
among the members of the National
guard while at encampment

ated with Major F. E. Drumheller of
Sunbury, surgeon of the Twelfth regi
ment. who offers dollars,
to be divided into three prizes of SSO,
! S3O and |3O, to the three organizations
of tho regiment mantaining the best
camp in the point of hygienio and
sanitary con 1 itions.
The judges who have been appointed
to award the prizes ate : Captain \V.
C. Gretzinger of Lewisburg, quarter
master ; Captain Clarence Fotesman,
of Williamsport. commissary; Dr. C.
Shultz, of Danville, assistant surgeon
When a Mayor Is Undertaker.
Mayor Kuiffen, of Wilkes-Barre, the
only undertaker mayor in the State,
has ordered Chief of Police Long to
enforce a long-neglected ordinance
which forbids street cars or other
vehicles to interfere with fuueral pro
! cessions.
