HIGH CONSTABLE
ARRESTS i COWS
High Constable Benton B. Brown ou
Saturday had occasion to enforce the
borough ordinance that prohibits cat
tle from beiug on the streets of the
town unattended.The cows impounded
were four fine animals belonging to
W. A. Sheppersou, that early in the
morning strayed from a lot above
town.
Constable Brown captured the cows
near his residence on Walnut street
about- eight o'clock before he had par
taken of his breakfast. With no thought
of food Mr. Brown drove the cows up
Mill street to the rear of oity hall,
where he kept guard over them aud
waited for their owner to turn up
and redeem liis property.
Mr. Shepperson was not long in dis
covering where iiis strayed cows were
located, aud several conferences be
tween owner aud constable followed,
but the officer was obdurate, and refus
ed to part with the cows for less than
the ''made aud provided" sum —eight
dollars—two for each animal impound
ed.
In the meanwhile the constable, with
each passing hour that he remained
ou guard, was becoming more and more
hungry, having had nothing to eat
since Friday. It was not until about
three o'clock in the afternoon that
Mr. Sheppersou decided to settle, and
the cows were released.

"lahoning street, Danville, Pa,, says:
''Prior to using Doau's Kidney Pills
I had an almost continued dull aching
across the small of my back aud lack
ed my usual strength aud ambition.
In the moruiug when I first arose, I
would often have to lie on the bed un
til the pains became less seveie. My
kidneys wore in a disordered condi
tion, and proof of this fact was evid
enced bv the too frequent action of the
kidney secertions. Hearing so much
said ill praise of Doau's Kidney Pills
I decided to give them a trial.and pro
cured a box at Hunt's drug store.
Since using them there has been a

ICE CREAiYI WITH
GUN POWDER
Victor Vincent, who runs an ice
cream wtagon iu connection with his
establishment on Mill street, had an
experience recently, that uiade him
think for a moment that he had been
mistaken for a member of the "Black
Hand" or some other equally danger
ous society.
A lady who lesidcsou the south side
iiad ordered six quarts of ice cream
or Sunday dinner. Mr. Vincent pack
ed the cream and sent it to her home
by his clerk, and was considerably as
tonished when a short time afterward
the clerk returned with the cream,an
nouncing that the lady "refused to re
ceive cream with grains of gun power
# in it." Very much alarmed, Mr. Vin
cent hastily opened the freezer, only
to find that the "grains of gun powder"
were innocent seeds of the vanilla
beau, with which the cream was flav
ored.

SAVAGE DOG
ATTACKS WOMAN
Mrs. Lewis Williams, Chambers
street, had a terrible experience Sat
urday afternoon when she was attack
ed by a savage dog,felled to the ground
aud severely bitten.
The dog was formerly the property
of George D. Johnson, Chambers
street, and he had given the animal
to Mrs. Williams' brother. Tue clog
was tied iu the yard with a long
chain, when Mrs. Williams entered
the enclosure. As the dog had the
reputation of being a savage brute,
Mrs. Williams gave him a wide berth,
aud thought she was well out of his
reach as she passed.
She had miscalculated the length of
the chain, however, for with a bound
the dog was upon her, sinking his
fangs in her arm. The terrified wo
man succeeded in throwing the in
furiated animal off, but again he was
upon her this time chewing her hair.
The dog would have killed the wo
man had not help arrived at tliir time
aud beaten him off.
Mrs. Williams weut at once to the
office of Dr. Newbaker, whero the
wounds ou her arm were cauterized.
The arm was badly swollen and the
skin was broken in four places where
the dog's teeth had left their marks.

Figures on the Wheat Crop.
While crop is not a record
breaker, aud the government report of
last week was a disappointment in
showing a depreciation iu yield, yet
it is so much larger tliau last year,
which was a fair crop, that there is
cause for congratulation.
On the government figures the total
indicated crop this year is M)-', 000,000
bushels. This is 58,000,000 bushels more
than last year. The total supply in the
country is somewhat smaller than last
year,due to the great decrease iu stocks
of old wheat. The carryover of old
wheat, while somewhat larger than
expected, is still small, amounting to
only 60,000,000 bushels, against 135,-
000,000 bushels last year aud 101,000,-
000 bushels two years ago. The total
supply of wheat, including the carry
over, is 7ti1,000,000 bushels, against
761),000,000 bushels a year ago.
The North American supply of
wheat, however, promises to be con
siderably more than last year, owing
to the expected large crop iu the Can
adian Northwest. The total Canadian
crop now points to about 140,000,000
bushels east aud west, agaiust a total
of 99,000,000 bushels last year, and,
taking iuto consideration the carry
over of Canadian wheat the grand to
tal supply for North America of old
aud new wheat is approximately 910,-
000 bushels last year. Out of last year's
supply of 880,000,0000 bushels North
America shipped 215,000,000 bushels.
The home requirements will be from
5,000,000 to 10.000,000 more this year
thau last, but with a supply of 910,-
000,000 bushels, as now indicated, the
exports could be 215,000 to 225,000
bushels aud leave the reserves next
fall about the same as thev are now.
The latest advices indicate a good
crop in Northern Europe, but another
year of short crops iu Southern and
Southeastern Europe and North Af
rica. There will be no greater sur
plus from Russia and the Danube than
last year.

PLUMS GROW
ONMCH TREE
A phenomenon, the like of which has
never been heard of in this section be
fore, is to be seen ou the farm of J.
O. Hendershot, West Hemlock town
ship, where there grows a peach tree
that this year is bearing a large crop
of plums.
Two years ago the tree was one of
the best peach trees on Mr. Hender
shot's place, and bore a large crop of
luscious peaches. Last year the tree
did not bear so well and the fruit was
peculiar in taste and appearance, pos
sessing most of the characteristics of
the peach and yet lacking several of
the attributes of that fruit. The tree
was evidently in the process of chang
ing, for this year, while the brandies
hang heavy with the ripening fruit,it
is full fledged plums that are matur
ing. Aside from the fruit the tree re
mains the same, the leaves and the
bark being plainly that of a peach tree.
A large number of people, including
a number of amateur botanists, have
visited Mr. Heudershot's farm to view
his prodigy, but none of them have an
explanation to offer for the curious
change that lias been wrought.

Almost Killed by Lightning;.
Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Startzel of
Sliamokin, had a close call during the
electrical storm Sunday afternoon,
while driving home from a visit with
friends in this city.
Mr. and Mrs. Startzel had taken ad
vantage of the beautiful day to make
a trip to this city, coming over Sun
day morning. In the afternoon while
they were returning home the storm
came up and Mr. Startzel discerning a
barn in the distance, whipped up his
horse in an effort to reach it before
the storm broke.
Just as they arrived at the structure
there was a vivid flash of lightning
followed at once by a terrific peal of
thunder. The horse fell to the ground,
while both Mr. and Mrs. Startzel felt
the electric shock. Regaining his feet,
the now wildly exicted horse dashed
off down the road and could not be
controlled until two miles had been
traversed.
Looking back over their shoulders
the occupants of the carriage saw the
barn they had chosen for a place of
shelter a mass of flames. The light
ning had found a mark but fortunately
not a human one.

MUCH INTEREST
IN BATHING
I
Judging from the increasing ii.uie
being shown in open air bathing, the
sport promises to attain ttie propor
tions of a craze in Danvi.le before the
satntner is at an end.
The floating bath house placed on
the river through the instrumentality
of the Y. M. C. A. seems to have sup
plied a long felt want. The boat is
anchored just below the bridge and is
in use continually from noon until
darkness. Physical Director Aius
worth states that the success of the
undertaking exceeds his highest ex
pectations. Two classes have been
formed—the juniors, which meets on j
Tuesdays and Fridays, au.i a class that
is open for anvoue, which meets on |
Mondays and Thursdays. While the j
bath house is free to be used by any
one who so desires,only those who are
connected witli the Y. M. G. A. are
allowed to become members of any |
classes formed, either to learn the art
of swimming or auythiug new in fancy
strokes, etc. The scene of the bathing
is between the first and second piers
from the Danville shore where the
water is of uniform depth of about
eight feet and the bottom is compari
tively free from large rocks. Here on
some warm evenings as many as 100
bathers have been viewed at one time
by an interested crowd of spectators
on the bridge.
Mr. Ainsworth has gone to some
trouble to find out how the bathing
here compares with that at other places
along the Susquehanna, and has found
that while most every town lias one
or more bath houses,at no place is the
interest or number of bathers greater
than at this point, where he estimates
that fully 150 young men use the flat
boat daily.
Great success has been met with in
teaching beginuers. Up to date about
a dozen have beeu taught the art and
there are generally about six or eight
in the beginners' class. There seems
to be an idea prevalent among the un
informed that swimming is au art
j that requires EOtue time to learn. Mr.
Ainsworth, on the contrary, has found
that four lessons are all that are re
quired. On the fourtli lesson the pupil
is able in most cases to swim a dist
ance of from 25 to 35 feet unaided.

WILD WEST HOLDUP
NEAR SONRURY
Six men, with their faces concealed !
by black masks,and enforcing their de j
mauds with leveled revolvers, per- j
petrated a daring outrage on Packer's
island, between Sunbury and North
umberland early Saturday morning
that savored of tiie wild west in true
fashion.
Too late to catch the last car for
Sunbury Hiram Young and John Bol
linger, two young men residing on
Duke street, Northumberland, were ;
walking from that place across the is- j
land to Sunbury, escorting two girls !
form Sunbury to their homes,botweeu
12 and 1 o'clock.
Suddenly six masked men stepped
from the darkness, levelled revolvers
at them aud told them to throw up
their hands. Quick as thought Young
took out his pocketbook aud threw it
in the road back of him,and then rais
ed his hands. The highwaymen not j
noticing the action,searched them aud j
found nothing on Bollinger, but took '
Young's silver watch, which was a
standard railroad timepiece, valued at
f«5. They debated a while undecided >
whether or not to taku their coats, but |
fiualy let them go aud then disappear- I
d.
The two men with the girls made i
their was' back to Northumberland
and took the late train to Sunbury I
without further adventure. Before
daybreak Saturday morning Young re- j
turned to the island to look for his !
purse. He found it where ho had j
j thrown it when held up several hours j
; befoio. It was intact and still con- j
taiiied the $52 of his railroad pay, j
which he had received on Friday, aud |
which ho had cleverly saved from the
, hands of the thieves
There is no clue to the identity of
the highwaymen which can lead the j
police tu their capture, and they ap
parently have thoroughly covered their I
tracks, aud made good their escape.
SUNDAY SELLING
CASES APPEALED.
Continued from Ist Page.
PROSECUTOR CALLED.
In conclusion Mr. Arnmerman called '
Mr. Divel,the prosecutor. He acknowl
edged that, like butchers generally up
to a very recent -'ate, certainly with
in two years, he sold meat on Sunday.
I He declined to put himself in the same
j categony with the defendants because
j no one had proceeded against him
j within seventy-two hours after selliug
on Sunday.
i Mr. Arnmerman held that all who
I sold meat on Sunday within two years
' were alike guilty under the common
| law. If the two defendants, who were
! arraigned lor a statutory offence eould
| be proven guilty, then-, he said, all
J who at auy time sold meat on Sunday
were likewise offenders against the
morals of the community.
I Having sworn that he had sold rntat
| on Sunday within two years Mr. Am
| merman asked the prosecutor—wlieth
ier he would not waive criminal pro
| cess, be made a defendant and placed
!on an equal footing with the men
whom he was prosecuting for the pur-
I pose of testing whether or not they
i were in truth and fact violators of
any statutory law,common law offense
or moral wrong. The prosecutor refus
j ed.
Mr. Arnmerman has appealed all the
eases. They will be heard before the
court, which will decide whether the
selling on Sunday was a case of neces
sity and au act of charity or was oth
erwise.

MALARIAL FEVER
ANQ THE CANAL
The effect of the protracted drought
is noticeable in the old canal, which
has not had a good flushing for nearly
two mouths. The shallow pools of
stagnant water, under the hot sun,
each day become more offensive and
dangerous.
Already malarial fever has made its
appearance aud the secretary of the
board of health is authority for the
statement that the old canal iu its
present state constitutes more favor
able conditions for the development
aud spread of that disease than have
prevailed here for a long time past. A
good raiu would help conditions very
much.
Meauwhile it would be worth while
to investigate to see if something
could not be doue to improve condi
tions before Augnst and September,
months when the exhalations from the
decaying matter of the various sorts
found in the canal bottom are most
apt to produce malaria with all that is
implied by that disease.
The pollutiou from the hospital no
doubt assists to bring about the condi
tion complaiued of in the canal. A
state appropriation, however, has been
made to extend the hospital run to the
river and the work, it is said,is about
to be undertaken. The state has also
made an appropriation for an adequate
sewage purification plant at the hos
pital. When these two things are ac
complished the nuisance in the canal
will be abated so far as the State con- I
tributes to it.
No one will deny that consideration j
for the public health demands that the ;
canal be properly drained and kept |
free from stagnant water. It might be !
worth while for the borough to in- j
j quire, therefore, whether there are not !
I sources of pollution other than the '
hospital that might be eliminated, j
Most essential of all, it would seem, in |
the attempt to purify the old canal, I
would be the establishment of a drain j
j in the bottom to carry off the stagnant i
water.
Birthday Surprise Party.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
~ , and cheerfulness soon
--- disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
or diseased.
_ Kidney trouble has
_• Bfl|P'ssj£l|: become so prevalent
* ]] that it is not uncommon
/*/7 jpl -t for a child to be born
/yilVwrPt afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp»Root is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet tell- nomo of Bwaunmoot

thousands of testimonial letters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer
