Bauk clearings and railroad earnings are below those of a year ago, but the gap is steadily narrowing. There are fewer idle cars than there were at the beginning of June. The July interest and dividend payments this vear in New York, the country's financial centre, will be §177,000,000, as com pared with §184,000,000 in July, 1907. Thus the falling off is far less than had been expected. About $46,000,- 000 of gold has been exported since the present outward movement began in the middle of April, but as we gained over $100,000,000 of gold in November and December last, and as we can get as much as we need from the outside world at any time we may need it, this lnovemeut does not dis turb anybody. The rates for money are about the same as tiiey are in mid summer of normal years. "Re-employ ment days" are becoming general. St. Louis had one on June first when 15,- 000 idle persons were put to work. On a far larger scale the Pittsburg dis trict had one on July sixth, when ev ery plant of the United States Steel corporation,the largest concern ill the world in its field, resumed operations. The other shops of that corporation, ail over the country,will, it is expect ed, all be running by August first. All the independent steel concerns in the Pittsburg district, it is announced, will be at work with a lull force by a.oti august. Tiio depart ment of agriculture in Washington says the crop outlook is better, on the whole, than it ever was before at this time of the year. It estimates that the value of the country's farm products of 1908 will reacli the $8,000,000,000 mark. This will leave all records far behind. It will be more than double the value of the farm yield of 1900, which was $3,764,000,000. Big crops have always heretofore meant good times for the country, and they will mean the same this year WELL DESERVED. The Praise That Comes From Thankful Danville People.

Robert Ci Miller,li vug at 315 1" erry street, Danville, Pa . says: "Doau's Kidney Pills were first recommended to me about ten years ago. Prior to that time 1 had consulted physicians one of whom said I had lumbago iu its worst form. I was also told by auth orities that I would go into Bright'® disease if 1 did not find some remedy that would check the trouble. I had terrible pains in my back, so severe al times that I was hardly able to move and I could hardly bear to place my hands across tiie small of my back. Added to all this misery was a com plete retention of my kidney secre tions at times, while at others they copious and caused me a great deal of annoyance, forcing me to arise manv times during the night. Tiie least cold I contracted would settle on my kidneys and greatly aggravate my sufferin" I used plasters as well as different remedies but failed to find relief However, Doan's Kidney Pills, which I procured at Hunt's drug store went directly to the seat of my ftou ble. correcting the difficulties and re lieving the rheumatism pain- in my limbs.

BERRY BOIES ARE TESTED The curbstone market Tuesday moruiug was largely attended. Three days intervened between the previous market, Friday morning, and Tues day. As a consequence the farmers were on hand with large stores that had accumulated. The townspeople also were present with empty baskets which needed replenishing. The berry season is now on in earn est. Strawberries have given place to raspberries, currants,&c.. and the lat ter seemed to be the ruling commodity in market Tuesday. Blackberries are looming up in the distance. The street commissioner carried out the instructions of council and measur ed the berrv boxes that were in use in market. It is much to the credit of the vendors that, with one exception, the boxes were of the regulation size and held a quart. When the market people were notifi ed last Friday of the action taken by council it seemed to be the under standing that they would be permitted to use boxes in selling berries if these contained a quart "dry measure." Only OLu* vendor disputed the author ity of council to take action, but the boxes used by this man Tuesday were found to be of the regulation size, holding a quart. With one exception not only did the boxes used contain a quart, but they slightly overran that mark. The deal er, whose boxes were "short" was treated very leniently. He was in formed of the action of council and given an opportunity to replace the boxes used yesterday with larger ones. From now on, the market master states.it will be assumed that all know the rules and regulations 'and that if any attempt is made to use the small, forbidden boxes there will be trouble. No great amount of friction is an ticipated. There are very few persons among the vendors in market but de sire to deal fairly and give the pur chaser his money's worth.

DfcSTRUCTIVE CATERPILLARS The destructive caterpillar is getting iu its work of devouring the foliage of trees in various portions of the State and what is best to do to over power them ia an oft-repeated ques tion. The Scraoton Republican in a reference to the matter says: "All this trouble might have been avoided if the owners of trees had taken the precaution to destroy the cluster of eggs ou the tree trunks before they were hatched. Now it is a more diffi cult task to save the tree=. A certain cute is spray with Paris green. If the expense of engaging an expert is not desired.the same effect may be obtain ed by pouring half a pound of the poison into the gardeu iiose before at taching it to the water-faucet. Thus every portiou of the tree may he reach - ed and the caterpillars feed at the wet in preference to the dry leaves One of the ironies of fate is that the poplar tree is uot considered appetiziug by the caterpillar, while the treasured maple,aud various other kinds of shade trees are literally devoured."

One of the water commissioners Monday was authority for the statement that un less the water takers are a little more economical in the use of water ex igencies may arise that will make it necessary to take the water directly from the river, pumping it uufiltered into the mains. Never within the recollection of the water commissioners has such an en ormous quantity of water been used daily. The overplus is accounted for by^the excessive sprinkling, mostlv on lawns and wardens. The most wasteful practices, it is alleged, are indulged iu by water takers. After sprinkling, the hose, without being shut off, is frequently permitted to lie where it was used for various periods of time until the ground is literally soaked and an enormous quantity of water haa'gone to waste. When such prac tices are indulged iu iu all parts of town at the same time the extcut of the unnecessary drain on the water plant occasioned at once becomes ap parent. To make the matter more reprehensi ble, the water commissioner stated, not a few water takers are using the water for sprinkling surreptitiously, having never paid for that privilege, the water commissioners have decid ed that the rules hereafter must be strictly enforced. Persons who have not paid for lawn and garden sprink ling will not he permitted to use wat er for that purpose and even those who have paid will have to keep within the bounds prescribed and avoid waste. During last week eveu though the plant was doing its best it was impos sible to keep a supply of filtered water iu the reservoir. More than once had an alarm of fire occurred the borough would have been sorely perplexed and there would have been no other way of rurnishiug water than by pumping directly from the river. What would follow, if such a course were pursued at such a time as the present when the river is low and rendered doubly foul and objectionable by mud washed down the channel by recent rain is plain enough. The reservoir and mains, through which uothing but filtered water passes, would be rendered mud dy aud foul neutralizing the effect of filtration for weeks to come and caus ing our hydrants to yield water, the counterpart of that in the river.

Ten homicide cases were presented before the board of pardons for action at Harrisburg last week. Although the case of Stanuy Marcavitch, which the board has under advisement, was generally believed to be scheduled tor final actiou,this is probably incorrect. In view of the governor's postponing the date of execution for an indefinite period the board did not acton the re quest of Marcavitch's attorneys for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment at all. It may be one month, it may be two or possibly a year, should developments complic ating the case arise, before the gover nor will be called upon again to set the date for the execution.

ENCAMPMENT NEXT WEEK The divisional encampment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania to be held at Gettysburg begins to loom up in the immediate future. Tiie encamp ment will commence on July 16th aud continue until tiie 25th inst. Company F, 12th regiment, N. G. P., of this place, will leave on Wed nesday,the loth inst. Captain Herring ton on Saturday stated that Company F will take sixty men to camp. This is a minimum rather than a maximum number, alloted to a company, but it represents probably tiie largest number of men that any company will consid er it convenient to take to camp. The individual members of the com pany are arranging their private af fairs aud are looking forward to tiie encampment as an interesting aud pleasurable tan-day's outing. As a company the oflicers and enlisted men are atteudiug to matters of drill and are brushing themselves up in various ways in order to make a good showing at camp. At regular drill next Thursday night, pursuant to instructions from head quarters, Captain Herrington will im press some very important rules and regulations upon his command So the end that the company, instead of bis ing a party to any damage or desecra tion wrought on the battlefield uilty be a means of preventing the same. a In the first place the members of Company F will be reminded that Gettysburg is the most famous aud historic, the most important and most perfectly marked battlefield in the world—made beautiful by the expend iture of immense sums of niouey by the United States government. The national guard is to consider it a great privilege to bo permitted to camp on this historic spot. The commander-in-chief urges upon all members of the national guard tiie most exemplary conduct aud the full recognition of the obligations that rest upon them as soldiers and citizens to be watchful that the monuments,mark ers, fences, aud roads be not injured nor defaced in any way. Oommission el oflicers are reminded that they will be held responsible for the conduct of enlisted meu whether belonging to their immediate commands or not. Unseemly and improper conduct will not be tolerated aud those misbehav ing will merit and receive the most severe punishment. Firemen's Outing a line Success. The annual outing of the Continent al hose company at DeWitt's park on the Fourth of July was quite well at tended, notwithstanding the showers which at intervals threatened rain.

WASHINGTONVILLE'S Bill FOURTH All doubt as to whether or uot a big celebration coold be arranged for the little town of Washiugtonville was dispelled on Saturday when the little borough along the Chllliequaque gave vent to its Fourth of July enthusi asm in a manner that would have glad deued the heart of the immortal George had he been on earth to view the pat riotism of the citizens who reside iu his namesake village. The rain of the morning which at first had the appearance of being an all day dampener, gave way just after enough water had fallen to lay the dust and clear the atmosphere. By nine o'clock the crowds from the sur rounding country and more distant parts began to surge into the town, and by the time the parade moved, a few minutes after 1 o'clock,the streets were crowded and outside the village hundreds of conveyauces of all kinds lined the fences and every available hitching space. The town had been decorated pro fusely for the occasion, some of the homes and business places on the main street showing fine artistic conception. The parade, the feature of the day, was headed by the Exchange baud. Following were the Odd Fellows, the P. 9. S. of A. and the Danville post, G. A. R. with its cannon.
