Concerning Sewer Extension.
An engineer represent iug the State
department of health will arrive in
this city tomorrow for the purpose of
making a study of the town with ref- '
erenee to sanitation ami especially in I
relation to the proposed sewer exten
sion on West Mahoning street, psrmis- j
sion for the construction of which was j
asked of the department mouths ago,
but which up to the present for some
reason has been withheld.
The engineer in question is Professor ;
Walker, of State College, who will
come to Danville as tiie representative j
of Dr. Samuel G. Dixou, State com- j
inissioner of health. He will arrive on j
the 10:19 Pennsylvania train and pro
ceed at once to look over the town.
Professor Walker yesterday notified
Borough secretary H. B. Patton of his j
intended visit and Mr. Patton in turn '
notified the committee on sewers, who i
will be on hand tb meet the engineer. |
Owing to the long silence maintain
ed following the application for per
mission to extend the sewer on West j
Mahoning street council was begin- j
uiug to think that the whole matter
would bo ignored by the State depart- j
ment of health. However, now that
Dr. Dixon has gone so far as to send a
representative here to study the situa
tion at close range no one needs to i
despair. There is no doubt but that a
study of conditions on West Mahoning
street will convince the visiting eng
ineer that a sewer extension is very
much needed there. It would not be
at all surprising if the permission to
extend the sewer were granted.
Robbed of $l4O.
James Parker who several days ago
came home from Lynnwood for a visit
at his old home in Valley township,
arrived minus $l4O, the savings of a
year. He had been robbed while on j
the train.
Mr. Parker was formerly in the em- }
ploy of Dairyman Farnsworth. About
a year ago he secured a position at 1
Lynnwood,near Philadelphia. Recent I
Jy he decided to visit his old home. 1
He bought his round trip ticket from
the Broad street tsation in Philadel- ,
phia.and in paying for iiis transporta
tion he displaved his wad.
The crook was on the trail in a min
ute. He bought a ticket for Lancaster.
Both men boarded the train leaving
Philadelphia at 11:50 at night, the
crook selecting a seat beside Mr. Park
er. Parker soon went to sleep. He
woke up as the train was approaching
Lancaster, but his seat mate was gone
and so was his wad.
A search of the train was made and
the railroad detectives notified but as
yet Mr. Parker's pocket book and the
man who stole it have not been found.

New Silk Mill.
Our townsman, F. Q. Hartman, tiie
well-known silk mill proprietor, is
erecting a plant in Shickshiuny to take i
the place of the leased building in
which he has conducted business for
several years past.
The new building will approximate
in size to Mr. Hartman's mill in
South Danville: it is built along the
same lines as the latter structure and
like it is firmly built and substantial.
The mill is about 125 feet by 4S feet.
The work of building is under the
supervision of Robert Cornelison, the
well-known contractor of this county.
The work is well under way
aud Mr. Cornelison will go up to
Shickshiuny this motniug to set the
window frames. The new mill will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The building in Shiekshinuy that
Mr. Hirtmau has occupied up to the
present was not well adapted for his
business. When the lease expired, j
therefore, he decided to vacate and i
erect a building more suitable. The
leased structure is now shut down aud
the machinery is being removed. Mr.
Coruelisou yesterday stated that the
new mill will be ready for operation
by June 15th.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
BULLETIN
THE SUMMER VACATION GUIDE.
The summer vacation is the bright spot in the dull routine
of the year's work. It breaks, the monotony of the daily round
and cheers and invigorates for the strenuous life ahead.
America abounds with delightful summer resorts in val
ley, on mountain, and beside the sea. The Atlantic coast line
from Labrador to Cape Hatteras contains the greatest number
of resorts devoted entirely to the pursuit of pleasure and health
in the world.
One may purchase from Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket
Agents, excursion tickets to over eight hundred of these re
sorts, covering all the desirable places, from the rock-bound
bays of Newfoundland to the gentle, sandy slopes of the Vir
ginia beaches: from the White Mountains of New Hampshire
to the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee: in the wilds of
Canada, along the shoresJof the (St. Lawrence and the Great
Lakes.
The famousseacoast resorts of New Jersey—Atlantic City.
Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, AsburvPark,
Long Branch, Spring Lake, Seaside Park, Beach Haven and
others, so well known that description is superfluous—are
among the most popular and the most easily accessible resorts
in the country.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Summer Excursion Book, to
be obtained of Ticket Agents at ten cents a copy, or of the
General Passenger Agent, Philadelphia, by mail postpaid for
25 cents, describes them all aud gives the rates and stop-over
privileges allowed on tickets.
SCARLET DRAWS
M OF CASE
HARRISBURG, May 13.
I The presentation of the state's case
|to the jury in the second of the trials
for alleged "grafting" in the furnish
ing of the new capitol,with Congress
man H. Burd Cassel. Architect Josepfi
M. Houston, aud Sliumaker, Snyder,
Mathu'os aud Irvine,former state offici
als, as defendants, was made today by
Jauies'Scarlet, special counsel for the
commonwealth. The completion of the
jury in one day had caused some sur
prise.
SCARLET'S ARRAIGNMENT.
The strongest point made by Scarlet
was that while there is no direct evid
ence of an agreement among the de
fendants, the facts and circumstances
to be brought out in testimony dearly
prove the commission of a deed
amounting to a conspiracy to defraud
the state. Scarlet outlined the charges
showing the specific allegations that
Che defendants presented and paid a
bill for .{17,789.70 for metallic furnit
ure supplied by Cassel's firm, the
Pennsylvania Construction company,
when the proper sum was #12,699.60.
Furniture billed at I.s6ofeet only con
clared.
PROOF OF CONSPIRACY.
He also alleged that charges had
been made for heavy metallic furnit
ure ouly, when they should have been
for both heavy and light furniture
"Cassel rendered the bill. Huston cer
tified it,the auditor approved it,lrvine
measured the cases aud certified the
measurements aud the treasurer paid
the bill," Scarlet asserted. "Never
theless the measurements are incorrect
and tiiis fact, and others of similar
oharacter, establish proof of conspir
acy "
Much of Scarlet's address was sim
ilar to his speech in the first trial. By
agreement among the lawyers much
testimony in the way of records will
be admitted without challenge, thus
saving time and euabliug the taking
of interesting testimony almost from
the start.
A Woman's Back
Has many aches and pains caused by
weaknesses and falling, or other disinter
ment, of the pelvic organs. Other sPni[>-
toms of female weakness are frequent
headache, dizziness, Imaginary specks or
i dark spots floating before the eyes, gnaw
ing sensation In stomach, dragging or
bearing down in lower abdominal or pelvic
! region, disagreeable drains from pelvic
organs,faint spells with general weakness.
If any considerable number of the above
symptoms are present there is no remedy
maaent rjte than Dr. Pierce's Ftvorito
vU has a record of over forty
years of lt lt is the most potent
invigorating tonic and .strengthening nei;'
vino Known to medical science It is made
of the glyceric extracts of native medici
nal roots found in our forests and con
tains not a drop of alcohol or harmful, or
habit-forming drugs. Its Ingredients are
all printed on the bottle-wrapper and at
tested under oath as correct.
Every ingredient entering Into "Fa
vorite Prescription " has the written en
; dorsement of the most eminent medical
writers of all the several schools of prac
tice—more valuable than any amount of
non-professional testimonials—though the
! latter are not lacking, having been con
! tributed voluntarily by grateful patients
In numbers to exceed the endorsements
given to any other medicine extant for
! the cure of woman's ills.
You cannot afford to accept any medicine
of unknown composition as a substitute
for this well proven remedy OF KNOWS
COMPOSITION, even though the dealer may
make a little more profit thereby. I'our
interest in regaining health is paramount
to any selfish interest of his and it is an
Insult to your Intelligence for him to try
to palm off upon you a substitute. You
know what you want and It is his busi
ness to supply the article called for.

STAmHiS GATHER
Ai WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, May 31
The White House was the ncene to
day of the assemblage of tuauy of the
moHt distinguished figures in the pol
itical and industrial life of the na
tion. It wj»s, perhaps, 0:10 of the ;uort
notable gatherings that lias ever nit t
to consider A great public question iu
that historic mansion.
Tlie occasion was the cjufcrsuee of
President Roosevelt with the Govern
ors of nearly all the States and Ter
ritories to consider the broad question
of conservation of the country's natur
al resources. The coulerence will con
tinue through Friday.
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTED.
The men who know how the natural
resources of the country have been
wasted—captains of industry who have
dealt with the resources and experts
who have studied the conditions—told
of the nation's prodigality iu the ex
ploitation aud consumption of its na
tural resources.
The coufdreuoe is the outgrowth of
the recommendation of the Inland
Waterways convention to President
Roosevelt. The idea of such a gather
ing met with the President's enthusi
astic approval. Later President
Roosevelt made public a letter invit
ing the Governors of the States to at
tend the conference. In this communi
cation the President declared that
there is no other question now before
the nation of equal gravity with the
conservation of the country's natural
resources. Long before 10 o'clock when
the conference was called to order in
the famous East room in the White
House by President Roosevelt, those
who took part in the great gathering
began to arrive.

GREAT CROPS
ARE PROMISED
The government crnp report of last
week ought to give tha country u great
business impetus, aud enoourase cap
ital to invest, for the outlook is ex
ceedingly encouraging. The winter
killed wheat is smaller,the area under
cultivation broader, and the condition
higher, and these three conditions at
the smna time have never Ueiiu known
to exist horetofore. We have never
harvested a half billion bushels of
winter wheat,but we shall come quite
close to it this season. There is now
ample moisture to carry the grain to
harvest, now less than three weeks
away in Kansas and Texas. The form
er State indicates 110,000.000 bushelß
alone The spring wheat, com, cot
ton, etc , as well as fruits give splen
did promise, and mean great wealth
for the farmer, assures the railroads of
tremendous traffic in freight,aud means
an impetus to all business. Good prices
are assured the agriculturists, as our
domestic consumption grows larger
each year, and there is liKely to be a
generous foreign demand.
The government report places win
ter wheat at 89, compared with 91.8
on April 1 last, 83.9 on May 1. 1907.
The figure is above the average for the
past ten years at this season. The acre
age abandoned during the winter was
somewhat heavier than expacted, but
the area left ia 1,620,000 acres above
that in winter wheat a year ago, and
the indicated yield is some 56,000.000
bushels greater. On the whole the re
port is satisfactory,showing as it does
that the crop has passed through a
very critical inouth without as much
damage as usually occurs, emerging in
good condition to withstand warm
weather,thanks to the rootgrowth pro
moted by the long moist spell.
The average condition of the rye
* crop ou May 1 was 90.3 per cent, of a
normal, as compared with 89.1 per
cent on April 1, 88 per cent on May 1,
| 1907, and 89.5 per oent. the mean of
| the May 1 averages of the past ten
years. The average condition of mead
jow hay lands ou May 1 was 93.5 per
; cent of a normal, as compared with
83.6 on May 1, 1907, and 89.5 the mean
of the average on May 1 of the past
\ ten years. The average condition of
pastures on May 1 waa 92.6 per cent,
of a normal, as compared with 79.6 on
May 1, 1907, and 87.8 as the mean of
, the average ou May 1 of the past ten
vears.
Of spring planting, 54.7 per cent, is
reported as having been completed on
May 1, compared with 47 per cent, on
May 1, 1907, and 52.6 per cent, on May
1, 1906.
From last week's percentage and
acreage the produce exchange statis
tician figures a crop of 428,414.000
bushels, against 410,110,000 on the Ist
ot' April,according to the new method
of estimating introduced on the ex
change this year, which takes account
of the five-year average course of the
crop between the early government re
portß and harvest. By the method of
estimating the harvest in force last
year the crop of winter wheat this
season should be 461,141,000 bushels,
against 405,101,000 on April 1 by the
old method.
At this time last year wheat ad
vanced 3 cents in a single day, and
there was talk of dollar wheat, because
the government report anuounced the
abandonment of 3,538,000 acres of win
ter killed plant. This year the ab
andoned area is only 1,318,000 acres,
and the condition is 6 per cent, bet
ter.
As there is considerable unemployed
labor.this year, there will not be the
usual trouble to secure help to gather
the crop, the harvesting of winter
wheat beginning within a month, and
with two months,the crop of 1908 will
be garnered.
