STARTLING FACTS
AEODT WASTE
Through the government bulletins
aud newspaper discussion aud pres
entation we have scattered statistics
of the manner in which the resources
of this great republic are being used,
mainly wasted.aud what wautand de
stitution will come for future genera
tions if we contiuue iu the manner iu
which we are going, without some
conservation and preparation for the
future.
The conference of the governors with
President Roosevelt, which was held
at Wshsington last week, has, more
than any one tiling, brought forcibly
and startingly before our people what
we have done already iu denuding the
country of its natural resources, what
we are allowiug togo to waste and
how we may reclaim,enrich and make
the future more glowing than the
past.
Among the matters brought out at
the conference we may note briefly
that we utilize but 5 per cent, of the
coal we mine, some 455,000,000 tons a
year, aud under present methods our
soft coal will last a century and our
anthracite coal will last but fifty
years.
As to timber that now standing is
estimated at two thousand billion feet.
The present annual consumption isoue
hundred billion feet while the annual
growth is from thirty to forty billion
feet. At the present rate of consump
tion our supplies of timber will not
last more than thirty-three years. At
present in the west there are 164,936,-
555 acres of national forest lauds, a
beginning iu the reclamation aud pro
tection of forests.
As to water waste—The annual flood
damage in the United States exceeds
1100,000,000. Through cutting down
Che forests and exposing the soil to the
rain a billion tons of earth 90per cent
soil, is washed annually into our
streams.
In our water supplies, 1,600,000 of
horse power runs idly each year over
government dams, only a small frac
tion of the actual waste the country
over. Capitalized at 3 per cent., this
known government waste represents
an investment of more than *1,000.000.
The swamp lauds that need reclaim
ing amount to more than 50,000.000
acres, ttie reclamation of which would
increase the land value more than 85,-
000,000, the annual crop value 112 1,500,-
000, and if sub-divided into forty-acre
farms would supply 3,500,000 families
with homes aud put 1 '2,000,000 people
on lands now practically worthless.
The arid regions of the United
States cover 600,000.000 acres,of which
60,000,000 acres are subject to irriga
tion. By completing twenty-five eng
ineering works now under way, the
reclamation service will reclaim 3,-
198,000 acros, which area will increase
the value of farm crops by $60,000,000,
will add #232,000,000 to the taxable
property of the people and will fur
nish homes for 80.000 families
COHFORTINQ WORDS.

To have the pains ami acl.es of a bad
back removed ; to be entirely free from

readers.
Seth C. Loruier. living at 420 Pine
street, Danville, l'a., says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills are worthy of my fullest
confidence and I strongly recommend
them. Some time before they were
brought to my attention, I suffered
from a severe cold which settled iu
my kidneys aud caused me great mis
ery. I would suffer severely when at
tempting to stoop, aud if I sat down
for any length of time, I would have
to be very careful when arising for at
such times sharp twinges would pass
through my kidneys aud cause me
great agony. At night my back was
so lame and sore that I was unable to
obtain a comfortable position, con
sequently my sleep was greatly dis
turbed. I fiually began using Doan's
Kidney Pills, which I procured at
Hunt's drug store, and a short use
quickly relieved me of all my troubles.
I give Doan's Kidney Pills my strong
est endorsement."

WALKED THROUGH
GLASS WINDOW
' Ives and Hartman's furniture store
at Sunbury was the sceue of a very
| strange accident on Saturday after
noou aud as a result one of the large
plate glass in the front of the store
room was shattered to pieces.
A youug man residing iu the coun
try several miles east of Sunbury, en
tered the furniture store shortly aftsr
the noon hour and delivered some
goods which ordered by the
firm. When lie.was given his pay for
the goods he desired togo to one of
the local banks before the hour for
closing arrived and with this object
| in view he hurried from the store and
( in his anxiety not looking carefuly
j ahead he walked head-first through
1 the largo plate glass w'ith such force
that he lauded out on the pavemeut in
front of the store room.
As a result of the strange accident
the youug man received several pain
ful cuts about the head and face and
! was very lucky that his injuries were
not of a more serious nature.
The crash made when the glass was
| shattered was heard for quite a dist
ance and attracted a large number of
I people.
Deafness Cannot be Cured.
I by local applications, as they cannot
reach rhe diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
, remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
-1 flatnod condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and whuti
; 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 eases!
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition

The record for precocity is probably

has a black mustache and a bass voice
of such quality that a church organist
in the district, who discovered him,
inteuds to train him to sing iu public.
I Iu appearance the boy is big for his
age, is very dark aud has a protruding
forehead. He is extremely bashful and
I scarcely ever laughs. His voice broke
j when he was seven, and for a time his
parents, thinking that his singular
vocal production was due to a cold,
took him to a hospital. For some time
ho has been under the care of a phy

Jl.suuderstood the Orders.
A misunderstanding of orders by the
engineer of the southbound passenger
train on the Reading railroad Monday
afternoon is given as the cause ot the
svreck at Lewisburg, in which about
twenty people were hurt, aui which
caused the smashing of both engines
and the damaging of both trains.
A freight train was lying on the
uorthbound track above the station
when the Canuon Ball, which left Sun
bury at 1:15 o'clock was scheduled to
pull out of the Lewisburg station. Its
orders were to take the southbound
track until it reached a switch half a
mile above the depot, when it was gain
to take the northbound track. The
other passenger train was to wait un
til after the northbound train had
passed. lustead of doing so the train
I ran past the danger signal aud crashed
into the Cannon Ball ou a curve about
a quarter mile aoove the station.
'VETERINARIAN'S
BILL TURNED DOWN
There is a bill iu the borough coun
cil for fifty-one dollars that remains
unpaid and it would be interesting to
know just what its fate uiay be. It is
a bill that has grown out of wholly
new conditions and there is no preced
ent to be governed in by making pay
ment.
To be explicit during the present
spring the local board of health in or
der to promote the health of the bor
ough requested the veterinarians of
town to make an inspection of the var
ious herds of cattle the milk of which
finds its way into Danville for the
purpose of determining whether or
not the cattle were free from tuber
culosis and other diseases.
At the meeting of counoil on May
Ist a bill of fifty-one dollars, properly
approved by the board of health, was
presented to council for services rend
ered by Veterinarian J. O. Reed in
inspecting thirty-four herds of cattle
at $1.50 per herd. Council did not dis
pute that the chargo was moderate and
that the inspection of the cattle was
necessary and timely, nevertheless the
members took the view that council
ought not to be compelled to pay the
bill. It is true no one was able to
suggest where the veterinarian was to
look for his money if not to coun
cil, since the inspection was ordered
made by the borough's board of health.
It was decided to lay the bill over and
get an opinion on the matter from the
borough solicitor.
The borough solicitor advises coun
cil not to pay the bill. The written
opinion submitted winds up with the
following stricture: "There must be a j
limit to this thing somewhere and the
sooner the limit is determined the bet
ter it will he for all parties concern
ed. "
Meanwhile, as above stated, the vet
erinarian is out of his mouey. Iu an j
interview Saturday night he said for j
payment he would look to the board j
of health, by which he was employed.
Personal.
If any person suspects that their
kidneys are deranged they should take
Foley's Kidney Remedy at once and
not risk having Bright's disease or

Aftermath of the O^cloue.

narrowly escaped being iu ihe great
cyclone that swept over that portion
of Mississippi in April. , The path of
the great storm lay at the very thres
hold of Natchez, and the city became
one of the centers where the dead bod
ies were brought and the wounded
were cared for.
Some of the scenes witnessed almost
surpass belief. Whether from the hor
ror of the experiences or not Mr.
Rhodes does not pretend to say, hut it
is ;i fact that a large proportion of the

A FLOATING
BATH HOUSE
Swimming promises to be a very
popular sport in Dauville this summer
iu view of a very novel project that
the Y. M. O. A. has set on foot. If
the plans do not miscarry the bathers
will have the benofit of a floating bath
house that can be moved from spot to
spot as desired.
The plan is to purchase or build a
flat boat and 011 this to erect a build
ing of large dimensions to be used by
the bathers. Thus will they always
be sure of privacy and of a place of
shelter to protect their clothing.
The boat will most likely be anchor
ed just below blue hill where the best
bathing ground is founU, but it also
can be very easily navigated to other
spots.
The cost of the outfit will probably
amount to one hundred dollars. This
amount will have to be raised by pop
ular subscription. The floating bath
house will be for the use of the pub
lic. The key will probably be held by
the Y. M. O. A.,but all persons wheth
er members or not will have permis
sion to use tlie bath house.
Therefore, in raising the money
needed all persons are asked to con
tribute something. If alirdo this the
sum subscribed in no individual case
need be very large. Subscriptions will
be received at two places, the Y. M.
O. A. and M. J. Riellv's barber shop
in the third ward.
It is a pity to see a person neglect
indications of kidney or bladder trou
ble that may result inßright's disease
when Foley's Kidney Remedy will
correct irregularities and strengthen i
these organs. Take Foley's Kidney j
Remedy at the first sign of danger. !

WILL DIXON
SUE DANVILLE ?
Iu view of the very thorough ex
amination of the water supply aud j
sewer system made in this city yester- j
day by Professor Elton D. Walker, of \
State college, as the representative of [
Dr Samuel U. Dixon, State health
commissioner, the following article ,
from the Philadelphia Ledger of
Thursday's issue takes an especial im
portance.
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon,the State com- !
missioner of health, is going to take j
immediate and energetic action against
the municipalities along the Schuyl
kill aud other streams who are pollut
ing their waters. He will commence
suits against the cities of Norristown
and West Chester in particular, and
also against many smaller boroughs.
The commissioner was informed yes
terday of the decision of the supreuie
court affirming the judgment of the
superior court in declaring the State
health laws forbidding the pollution
of rivers constitutional. The ccse iu
poiut was that of Edward Emtners, a
hosiery manufacturer, of Royersford,
who was held for polluting the Schuyl
kill river, after having been ordered
not to do so by the commissioner.
"This Is the best news," said Dr.
Dixon, "I have heard for months. I
have been waiting for the action of
the supreme court before trying to en
force the State health laws iu other
instauces. Now, after having taken
this case from the court and finally to
the supreme court, the defendants have
failed, aud wo can go ahead."
Doctor Dixon was asked whether he
intended to take action against the
municipalities themselves or against
manufacturers operating in them.who
have violated the laws.
"We are going for the municipalit
ies themselves," lie said.

DRIVING ELK
■ AT BILLMEYER'S
Among the many interesting things
to be seen at the Billmeyer estate near
WasliiugtonviUe, the newest curiosity
to arouse the wonder and admiration
of the visitor is an elk that lias been
taught to trot iu harness, and which'
is developing a speed that will soon
distance the best ot horses
A young man, Walter LocUhoof, who
is employed by Mr. Billuieyt-r as a
keeper iu the game park, has develop
ed a remarkable ability in the train
ing of animals. Some time ago the
young man broke a steer to harness,
and one of the familiar sights in the
vicinity of WasliiugtonviUe was young
Lockhoof driving his queer steed.
Having been successful with the
steer.Lockhoof decided to try his hand
with a young elk. His object, how
ever, was not as easily accomplished
as in the case of the steer. Not only i
did the elk show a decided aversion at 1
first to people and things along the j
road, but on at least one occasion the j
animal smashed things up iu general :
and came near to ending Lockhoof's ;
days as an animal trainer.
ON THE RAMPAGE.
The accident occurred near the Bill
ineyer home. Iu driving along the road
the elk saw something he did not like
and with a plunge and a twist that
few horses could equal, ho tore him
self loose from the vehicle. Lockhoof
was thrown out, but was up again iu ,
a minute, and before the elk could get
away he snubbed him with one of the
traces to a telephone pole. Ho was uii
ablo to hold him, however, and with |
reins flying behind like streamers the !
fleet footed animal was off in the di
rection of WasliiugtonviUe. He made j
a circle and came bark to the rear of
the game preserve, and appeared anx
ious to enter. The men were unable to
capture him that night, but the next
day he was located and driven toward
the preserve. When the animal saw
the familiar spot he dashed at the
fence, breaking several boards and
gaining entrance. He then appeared to
be satisfied.
OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES.
There are some serious difficulties to '
be overcome in teaching the elk to
trot. At present he is very fearful of
people and vehicles ou the road, and
will shy on the slightest provocation.
When on the road alone, however,
without any obstacles iu the way, the
animal develops remarkable speed,
trotting beautifully aud not breaking.
The elk also lias a phenomenal remem
brance for locations. If he is taken
over a road once aud turned at a cer
tain spot,he will try to mauethe same
turn the next time he traverses that
road, no matter if he is going at top
speed when he readies the place. This
peculiarity has several times nearly
resulted iu a catastrophe.
Mr. Billmeyer believes that with
cou«taut training he will be able to
develop a trotting elk with which he
will be able to clip a few seconds off
| the equine record. It is likely that
when the elk become sufficiently brok
en Mr. Billmeyer will exhibit him 011
the large race tracks, where a trotting
elk would be iudeed a novelty.

All the blood tn ytmr body passes through
your kidneys-GMeevery three minutes.

i U \ Pains, aches and rheu
/ f4l \ matism come from ex
"jf cess of uric acid in the
—~ *0 blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty

es. You may have a

COUNT THE COST
OF BAD ROADS
Iu an argument iu favor cf good
roads the Williamsport News aptly
says: "Farmers aud others who travel
the public roads of this county should
count the cost of roads. The road over
which even light loads caunot be haul
ed without trying thfe strength ot
horses and causing serious wear and
tear to wagous is dear at auy price.
The farmer who is necessitated to use
four horses in hauliug a wagon load
! of produce to market where two horses
ought to be able to pull the wagon
understauds the difference between
good aud bad roads. The extra cost of
hauling over bad roads would pay for
improving many miles of highway. "

Demonstration Tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock Mr.
A. W. Stephens, of the State division
of zoology will be at the State demon
stration orchard at the hospital
grounds to spray for the Codling moth
aud fungous diseases. It will be a
public demonstration to which all are
invited free of charge and the demon
strator will he glad to answer all
questions 011 orchard management aud
the coutrol of orchard pests.
Mr. Stephens, who in his travels
about the country probably has better
opportunity to take note of conditions
in the orchards, says that fully half
of the apples in most orchards in this
vicinity show the work cf the Codling
moth, while iu Adams county orchard
ists who spray thoroughly have as
much as uiuety-flve per ceut of their
fruit free from the worms
At tiie demonstration Sir. Stephens
will show how to make aud apply the
Bordeaux mixture for fungous dis
eases and will use.the arsenate of lead
preparation for the Codling moth. He
believes that the best way to show the
fruit growers how to control t! ese
pests is by a practical demonstration
aud urges all interested to attend,even
if corn planting is late.
