SIGNS OF RETURN
ING PROSPERITY
Conditions throughout the county
point to an early return of prosperity.
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

Thankful Danville People.

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

now and then and they serve to keep

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. As a gen
eral tiling they commend the action of
council in knocking out the "short
measure" boxes

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."

WATER WORKS
OVERTAXED
Owing to the intensely hot weather
and the drought prevailing the bor
ough experiences difficulty in keeping
the mains filled with water. 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.

three sons coutimd the business known
as ''Hunt's stand.''
About thirty years ago the deceased
assumed the whole business, his two
brothers, John and George Hunt, re
tiring Until the time of his death
David remained in possession of the
plant and was actively in charge until
incapacitated by illness. In the inter
im he built up a large and flourishing
business; the product of his works
being in demand over a wide section.
The deceased was a mau of generous

Drowned in Fishin? Creek.
The Fourth of July celebration at
Orangeville was sadly marred by a
drowning accident, in which Clem
Montgomery, the seventeen-year-old
son of J. R. Montgomery,of that place,
was the victim.
The unfortunate boy, with several
others of about his own age, was bath
ing in the Fiihing creek. He|was*un
able to swim and wading out beyond
his depth was drowned.
The creek was swollen and very mud

the current.
No Actiou by Pardon Board.
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.
It will,'not be overly long until the
voice of the cricket is heard in the

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.

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. Iu the sec
ond section appeared the floats and
fantastics, many of the latter display
ing originality and care in the pre

To his intense surprise she made no
reply. Then he grew bolder.
"And I am certainly of the opinion
that you aro spending too much money
on gowns and hats."
Again no answer. Ills bravery jump
ed up another notch.
"And, Mrs. Lambert I must say fur
thermore that we will have no more
teas or receptions."
Silence. Mr. Lambert grows daring,
courageous.
"It Is simply an outrage the way you
lavishly expend my hard earned mon
ey. You have no consideration and al
low your extravagant Ideas to carry you
off your feet. Do you realize that we
are living beyond our means?"
No answer.
"Do you know that I am making
SIOO a month and you are deliberately
spending $200? Can't you sco the fam
ily Is bound to land in the poorhouse?"
Silence. Mr. Lambert's fortitude is
unbounded.
"I have stood your Impositions long
enough, Mrs. Lambert. Do you under
j stand? You have henpecked me until
! life Is now unbearable. Now I intend
|to take hold of the reins. I will man
: age affairs and you will obey."
There was a sudden crash, then a
| yell. Mr. Lambert's head came into
j contact with the bedpost as Mrs. Lam
| bert shook him furiously, and she ex
| claimed:
"Can't you keep your mouth shut
when you are asleep? What In the
world are yon dreaming about any-
I way? it Is simply barbarous the way
you disturb my rest after l work so
hard all day keeping the house In or
der. And jou know I am worn out
from tea tliis afternoon, yet"—
And Lanibett realized It was all a
i dream and began nursing the slowly
swelling hump on his head.—Bohemian

began old Brokeley, "I know a way to

"How?" asked Markley eagerly.
