Wm.fi, Miller, Gen'l Manager DEADLY OPIDI CHINA'S ENEMY There is a mighty drama, with the whole world as a stage, in China's struggle, agaiust civilized commercial greed, to rid herself of the curse of opium. It lias been a long and tenac ious struggle aud a noble one,in which the "heathen" nation puts the "civil ized" world to shame. Opium is dead ly to the Chinaman. It has for ages incapacitated many of the higher officials of the kingdom aud lias turn ed the lives of uncounted millions of its people into mere miserable exist ence. This more than any other cause —perhaps more than all other causes combined —has kept China in the rear of progress. Tho Chinaman knows it, aud has the mauhood to want ;to free himself. Nearly two years ago the Empress Dowager of China issued an edict against the cutlivation and use of opium in the empire and provided for its complete extermination within ten years. Many governments,includ ing the United States and Great Brit ain, agreed to help enforce the edict. It seemed that the day of deliverance had come. But Great Britain has broken faith in the matter, as she has done many times before. The Indian government, which receives a revenue of more than 510,000,000 a year from the opium traffic is not willing to relinquish that advantage, and opium in enormous quantities is still being shipped into China in defiance of all protests. Again China lias appealed to the Christian nations to keep off their greedy hands and allow her to be sav ed. Secretary Root lias heeded the plea. He has taken the matter up with the governments of Great Britain, Ge rmany, France, Japan aud the Nether lands, and an international commis sion is to look into the outrage. The struggle China is making has continu ed for 50 years, Indeed, the island up on which Hong Kong stands, giving British foothold in China, was exacted as indemnity for several shiploads of opium that were destroyed by the Chinese to prevent their accursed cargoes from reaching the people. It is a contest between heathen effort at self-salvation and civilized lust for profit, in which all honest human sym pathy must be with the heathen. In this struggle the heathen are giving an example which civilized people might omulate in more ways than one. WEAK, WEARY WOMEN. Learn the Cause of Daily Woes and End Them.

How lie happened to meet with his terrible injury is at present involved in mystery. Every change of his condition, therefore, is being care fully watched with tiie hope that tiiere may be a return of oonsoiousness that will enable him to make a state ment explaining the circumstanoes that led up to the injury. The Injured man at an early hour Friday morning was found lying in A street in front of the dwelling occupi ed by the Densberger family. His skull was fractured at the base of the brain aud his head was otherwise injured. The man's condition was explained by tiie fact that he had taken a plunge through the second story window, alighting on the top of tiie head. This is all that is known. As stated abovo j bOW tie httpptuiml to take the lioadlou^ plunge from the second story window ap to the present is enshrouded in mystery. Dr. G. A. Stock, who has the case in hand, yesterday saw slight evid ences of improvement in the man's condition. Tiie injury is of a sort that admits of very little hope of recov ery. In most cases death onsues in a few hours after tho accident. Thai mere fact, however, that the injured | man has lingered three days places his; 1 case in another category aud improves j the prospects of recovery. Still tho ( case is very grave. Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. . There is only one way to oure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional j remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- j (lamed condition of the mucous lining j of the Eustachian Tube. When this \ tnbe is inflamed you have a rumbling! sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the j result, and unless the inflammation J can be taken out aud this tube restor- j ed to its normal condition, hearing j will be destroyed forever; nine cases i out of ton are caused by Catarrh, which j is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

And the town is full of them. As a rnle, the parents arc good,law-abiding people, but apparently, through in differencejor neglect of duty, are liv ing on from day today oblivious of tiie fact that they have parental duties to perform, one of which is to know where their children are at night."

The freshmss, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron (s only a dim shadow, a faint ooho of the charming maidon. There are two reasons for this change, ignoranoe and neglect. Few young womon appreciate the stock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak nesses which too often come with mar riage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain U robbing the cheek of its freshness and the form of its fairness.

' VISIT TO BRAK.' mPLANT Tiie Pennsylvania Brake Beam com- j pany is now operating its new plant at this place in all departments and is running steadily The rolling mill has been in operatioi all week and isruu ning very satisfwtorily. It is true that the mill was started up on April 23ri.,but there were many hitohes aud delays due to the fact that the machinery in the plant, owing to its long disuse, was corroded aud gen erally defective. During the mouth past the machinery lias received a gen eral overhauling aud readjustment, so that now the mill to all intents and purposes may be said to be as good as new. A number of our townsmen Fri day afternoon visited the plant for the purpose of viewing the process of manufacturing brake beams. There j are some tweuty-five men employed, all apparently skilled in their work. The and the rolls worked -»o».r nicely indeed, while the system employed in the manufnotuju would seem to be welljnigh perfect. Danville enjoys Jtlie distinction of possessing brake beam plant in the country that produces the finishedjproduct froii the raw materi al. The other plants that manufacture brake beams all purchase aud assem ble the parts, just as the Pennsylvania brake beam company did before it came to Danville. By installing a rolling department of its own the Danville concern has secured a big advantage. Its capacity while at Easton,befcre coming to Dan ville, was four hundred brake beams a day. With its rolling mill in opera tion it can turn oat 2000 completed brake beams per day—a number equiv alent to five car loads or sufficient to equip 500 cars. It was as late as Dec ember 2nd. when the Pennsylvania brake beam company came to Dan ville. When wejreflect that a matter of six months only has elapsed since the company came upon the ground here, we must admit that [the results achieved are highly gratifying. By a wise arrangement all the raw material can be unloaded in the roll ing mill proper, there being room for four cars under roof. Next week a brand new hoisting engine of twelve horse power will|be installed at the west:rn end of the mill for the pur pose of unloading andjbreakiug up the raw material into suitable sizes for charging in the furnace. Aftor the raw material is charged in the furnace at the rear end it is drawn out at the front. The long bars then enter a three-high 24-inch train of rolls, through live passes. From the rolls the red hot bars are carried on live rollers for a distance of fifty feet, where they are out by high speed saws to the proper length, after which they are carried ou live rollers and autom atically loaded on a car and delivered to the braki beam department, where thejfins art ground off, finished sec tions straightened, punched,heads and fulcrums fisted aud riveted, making a complete brake beam. After that noth ing remains but to paint the brake beam aud place it on the car for ship ment.

I For many years past it has been cus j tomary for large number of shippers | to mark their packages with an initial I or some hieroglyphic.the key to which | would De on the bill of landiDg. It i was the theory that this saved time, i and also prevented competitors from observing the names of a shipper's customer on the outside of the pack ages. Great abuses have resulted from this I practice When a large number of packages are intended for the same | consignee, siiippers often only mark i one or two, the others having no marks at all. If the shipments become mixed with others at transfer points, there | is uo way of identifying them. The J coasequecce lias been great delay, ! vexation on tiie part of both shippers | and consignees and claims against the ' railroad. | Tiie Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, on its lines east of Pittsburgh, last year paid out i 042,520 for claims for goods "Lost iu Transit." an in | crease of 34 per cent, over 1906. Of this amount $176,260 was traeed to the fact that shippers had marked their goods improperly. Likewise, during laOT, the Pennsylvania railroad sent ' it its Unolaimed Freight Station at Dowuingtown, 18,000 packages on which there were no marks to euable the Company to forward the freight to proper consignee and destination. Some 116 railroads will participate in the enforcement of the new rule The companies are to give strict in structions to their agents,placards will be posted conspicuously in all stations and every effort will be made to im press shippers with the importance of heeding the new rule. In fact, the campaign of education which is plan ned bv the railroads along this line is almost unprecedented in its thorough ness, It is the belief of the carriers that the enforcement of the new rule will be of great value to the public in ; the removal of such a prolific source of delays and losses.
