A ROSY VIEW
OF THEJITUATION
Prosperity, better and saner thau
the United States has ever known be
fore, is forseeu for the next decade by
Prof. Henry C. Adams, for twenty
years in charge of statistics and ac
counts for the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Professor Adams is re
cognized as one of the closest students
of industrial and financial conditions
iu the service of the government. His
intimate association with the railroads
and their operation has given him au
insight into conditions unequaled. The
commission's statisticiau has reached
the conclusion that business in all
lines will return rapidly to normal,
aud normal conditions are to be suc
ceeded quickly by extraordinary pros
perity in every department of industri
al activity. Both capital and labor in
his opinion are on the dawn of a new
day. Professor Adams declared that
tiie holder of stocks is about to come
into his own. He regards the depres
sion that followed the pauic of last I
October as a blessing in disguise, in j
that it will insure economy by pre
venting the return of reckless confid
ence that has endangered by too long
and too continued good times. "We are
now almost through the depression to
which I referred," he said today. "It
was proceeded by a period of intense
business activity. luvaribly during
such a period men loose more or less of
their caution. Everything seems pros
perous and the depression comes aud
the revenues fall away the managers
cast about for means to reduce ex
penses. They have been finding out for
the larger part of a year past where to
make economies, where they were per
mitting part of their money togo into
avoidable expense. They have been
taking in tiie slack, getting tilings on
a safe aud secure basis. It lias been a
severe experience, but from the stand
point of the shareholder it lias been
really a good thing. The depression
will end and business will be good
agaiu. Its volume in the next cycle
will be greater than ever. But the les
son of this period of enforced econ
omies will uot be easily unlearned. |
The increasing revenues will be par- j
alleled off against columns showing 1
reduced expenditures iu many ways. I
There will be greater care and econ- j
omy, with the result that the stock- j
holder w ill have a better share coming !
to him."

MACADAM MUST
BE RE-SURFACED
There is quite a general desire to
know what has become of the proposi
tion to repair the macadam on North
Mill street which was constructed last
year under the act of May 1, 1905.
A month or so ago, it will be recall
ed, the State highway department
through its engineer called the bor
ough's attention to tiie need of repairs
and took the initiative in preparing
for the work. Since then nothing lias
been done and it is hardly necessary
to add that the street has been getting
worse all the time.
Automobilists are loud in their com
plaints. The macadam in question was
a very good piece of work. It was
made perfectly smooth and was given
a good crown, while the gutters and
sewers were constructed so as to be
ready for any demands that mieht be
made upon them. All of which in
dicates that, no matter how well con
structed a macadam road may be. it
should receive constant attention if it
is to be kept in good shape.
No matter how well drained the ac
tion of water on such a road,during a
heavy rain, is bound to have some ef
! feet on the macadam. The constant
j grinding of wheels will do the rest,
jOn North Mill street the light top
| material, forming the crown, which
, acts as a binder, is wholly washed or
i blown away. The stones or larger
| material underneath are exposed, if
! not torn up and tossed about. It is
i hardly necessary to endeavor to de
| scribe the effects experienced by per
j sous driving over tlie road. The ap
| pearanoe of workmen to make the
i necessary repaiis is very anxiously
J awaited.

GOOD CROPS ARE
NOT ASSURED
Several farmers who had business at
the courthouse Monday indulged in
a general discussion as to the crop
prospects. They were unanimously of
the opinion that there is too much
overconfidence shown by persons who
undertake to forecaste as to the sea
son's crops.
Tiiey ridiculed the idea that the re-j
cent rains should be considered of j
sufficient potency to insure a full yield
of every thing that is still growing on
the farm. There is not a crop, they
held, but will show the effect of the
set back it received during the drought, j
But to make the matter worse, they
pointed out, another drought is on. |
the eftects of which are already per-:
ceptible. Another heavy rain, they j
explained, will be necessary very soon J
iu order to cause the corn to ear well j
just as the previous rain was essential j
in order to bring out the tassels or
blossoms Rain or no rain, they said, I
potatoes are bound to yield less thau
a full crop. The yield of other crops i
i will depend upon tiie amount of rain
j tiiat falls during the next few weeks. [
Monday, it was admitted that the
; prospects of abundant rain were poor. !
That rain is needed is quite as ob
vious in town as in tiie country. Like i
the country roads.the streets are very j
dusty, while the river is about as low
as at auy time this summer. The wat- j
er is falling very rapidly and each suo- ;
ceeding day brings larger patches of !
the river bottom to view.

HIGHWAYMEN
WERE CAUGHT
i Charged with complicity in the rob
bery of Carris Snyder, the Winfield
butcher, who was held up on the
; Shickellimy road on Thursday after
noon. John Welch, of Milton,aud Wil
liam Frank, of Sunbury.were arrested
at the Reading station in the latter
town, Saturday morning by Officers
Pursley and Buery.of the P. & R. coal
aud iron police. Snyder had just
bought a ticket for White Deer above
Lewisburg, and was waiting on the
train which leaves there northbound
at 8:35 o'clock, when the officers took
him Into custody. They searched him
and found a knife which they believ
ed belonged to the butcher. They took
him to the lockup aud later removed
him to prison at Lewisburg, where he
will be tried. Frank was caught lat
er Saturday afternoon.
The officers are looking for one. W.
Herman, who is said to be missing
aud who is accused of being a partuer
in the crime. They expect to arrest
him in the near future.
The robbery was one of the most
daring that lias ever been committed
iu this vicinity. One of the highway
men pointed two revolvers at Snyder
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. A second seized tiie reins of
the team, aud the third clambered on
the wagon and rifled his pockets of
675 aud a knife Although they had
over a day's start of the police they
evidently were iu no hurry to leave
the vicinity, as they believed that the
masks formed from red handkerchiefs,
which they wore, had effectually con
cealed their identity. That the offic
ers ran them to earth in so short a
time reflects creditably on their detec
tive ability.

COAL OIL STOVE
CAUSES FIRE
A coal oil stove exploded iu au out
kitchen of Mrs. Martin Curry's resi
dence, No. 107 Nicholas avenue, Sun
day afternoon, resulting in a fire,
which caused a loss of several hundred
dollars.
The stove had been lighted to pre
pate supper, when the fire occurred.
What caused the stove to explode is
not known. In an instant the fire com
municated to tiie wood work of the
building. Although every effort was
made with snch means as were at
hand to extiuguisli the fire, yet in a
j short time the flames were beyond con- 1
, trol and the kitoheu was destroyed.
In the interval a general alarm had
been sounded, but before the fire de- j
partment arrived the flames attacked
the dwelling proper, climbing to the ;
j roof of the rear end, whence they ate |
! their way in under the roof.
Two sections of hose were soon con- j
j nected, one by the Friendship aud the
| other by the Goodwill company. The
I flames, where exposed, were soon ex-
I tlnguished, but the fire, smouldering
under the roof.gave the firemen a hard
fight.
The house is badly damaged. As far
as could be ascertained there was no
iusurauce on tiie building.
Cured May Fever Summer Cold
A. S. Nosbaum, Batesville,lndiana,
writes "Last year I suffered for three
: months with a summer cold so distress
ing that it interfered with my busi-
I uess. I had many of the symptoms of
, hay fever, and a doctors prescription
did not reach my case, aud I took sev
| eral medcines which seemed ouly to
aggravate it. Fortunately I insisted
J upon having Foley's Honey aud Tar. j
|lt quickly cured me. My wife has
I since used Foley's Honey and Tar
I with the same success. " For sale at

Stealing a Public Utility.
One of the newest forms of theft
that has been discovered here is the
stealing of the electric light bulbs
from the lightiug system of the river
bridge. Last mouth eight of tiie lamps
were stolen.
The bridge is lighted by the Danville
aud Sunbury Transit company aud is
a convenience to the public that one
would suppose would escape the de
predations of the most hardoned crim- ;
inai. It will likely go pretty hard
with tiie guilty parties if they are
caught.
A Boon to Elderly People.
Most elderly people have some kid- |
ney or bladder trouble that is botii j

Death of Mrs. Mary Turner,
Mrs. Mary Turner, a well known
and esteemed resident of this city,
died at her home, D. L. & W. avenue,
at 11 o'clock Saturday morning.
The deceased was seventy-four years
of age aud was the widow of William
Turner.a soldier who lost his life dur
ing the Civil war. He was wounded
at the battle of Fair Oaks and died
soon afterward. Mrs. Turner is sur
vived by a sou and daughter : William
G Turner and Miss Emma Turner,
both of Danville. With her daughter,
the deceased resided on D. L. & W.
avenue.
SCHOOL BUILDING
REPAINTED
Among the improvements ordered
by the school board this year the bulk
relate to the second ward building,
which among other repairs has re
ceived a new coat of paint,
The contract for the painting was
awarded to William Mottem, who
has just completed the job. All the
woodwork on the outside of the build
ing was repainted. Not only are the
evidences of good workmanship every
where apparent, but the colors are ap
propriate and harmonious, imparting
to the building a clean, bright and
pleasing appearance. It is to be re
gretted that the school board could
not see its way clear to have the
brick work repainted, which has be
come dull and weather beaten and
would be much improved by a coat of
paint.
Mr. Motteru also calcixnined the
walls of the rooms of the fourth
aud fifth grades of the second ward
school. Later he wil) paint the doors
of all the school buildings, which
during the last term were taken off
their hinges and rehung, iu order
that they might open outward.
Another important improvement at
the second ward building is the in
stalling of a very handsome curb of
Wyoming blue stone along the north
aud east sides ot the grounds. T. L.
Evans" tons have the contract for this
branch of the work. The curbing has
become necessary in order to keep the
grouuds in repair. The grounds need
filling up, but until the present it
has been useless to make repairs, as
with every heavy rain the material
j used iu grading has been washed
away. The curbing, with proper
drainage, it is believed, will preveut
washing and keep the grounds iu good
shape.
No one is immune from kidney
trouble, so just remember that Foley's
Kidney Remedy will stop the iriegu
larities aud cure any case of Kidney
or bladder trouble that is not beyond
the reacli of medicine. For sale at

CATFISH BY
JHE MILLION
Whatever conditions may confront
the fisherman, who casts his line into
the river there is one body of water
where fish are plentiful and cau be
caught bv the score, although it is
the last place where one would expect
to find any of the finny tribe, namely
iu the old canal.
For some time past rumors have
come down town from the upper end
of the borough to the effect that the
old waterway for a square or so above
and below Beaver street is teemiug
with catfish of all ages aud sizes.
Owing to some irregularity in the
bottom of the old ditch, above the gas
works the water lies some three feet
deep, a condition which has obtained
for years past. Those who think the
canal is offensive in the vicinity of
Mill street would do well to pay a
visit to Beaver street The mixture
in the canal there defies analysis. It is
a sort of a diabolical mixture, offen
sive to the eye aud nostril alike,cover
ed with a green scum, which was
brought over from last year aud the
year before and is becoming more
deeply colored and more pungent iu
odor with every day that it lies under
the broiling sun of summer.
In this "ooze and slime" the catfish
live move aud have their being. As is
well known the catfish has a predilec
j tiou for muddy waters aud when it
comes to diet it is uot over fastid
-1 ious iu its tastes. It was never dream
| ed. however, by the best informed
| student of natural history that the
I catfish would go this limit. Suffice it
to say, therefore, that the foul and
I reeky canal is so full of "catties" that
I they actually crowd each other. Resi
] dents near the spot produce testimony
to show that the fish exist in "mil
lions. " At times they come to the sur
fuce aud cau be seen. Many of them
are a foot iii length, some are longer,
but the majority are smaller in size
and are rapidly growiug and will
therefore soon want more room.
Fishing in the canal, therefore, is
good—if auy one can endure the odor
But the catties when .'pulled out
are of no use, as they cau uot be eateu,
their flesh being tainted by the vile aud
undesoribable odors of the waters they
inhabit.
A number of people iu the npper
end of town are interested In a project
to remove the catfish from the old
. canal and place them iu the river,
where in process of time their flai-i
may become puriiied and fit to eat.
There seems to be only one way of
getting the fish out of the canal aud
that is by seining the same. The part
ies interested, however, remembering
the .multifarious provisions of the fish
laws are a little chary in the premises
and do not care to wield the seine to
| get the cattish without first having
some real good advice as to whether
or uot the operation might carry with
it a violation of the law. It will prob
ably be some time before anything is
done to remove the fish—if ever

during the morning, went over to the
park.
The outing was attended by the Elks
and their families and proved very en
joyable. Dinner and supper were eaten
in the park.

SOLDIER RETURNS
FROMJHILIPPINES
R. S. Hahn, a young soldier, has
returned to his home in this city af
ter serving an enlistment in the Phil
ippine Islands. He had a very inter
esting experience while in Uncle's
Sam's service and expects to re-enlist
As might be expected during the
last three years, Mr. Hahn has seen
pleuty of adventure. He is an alert
aud bright young man showing the
excellent effect of army discipline aud
is a picture of sound physiclal health.
He describes very intelligently the
different countries that he has visited
and the different phases of life that
have fallen under his observation.
Mr. Hahn enlisted at Williamsport
on July 28th, 1905. He was sent to
the recruiting camp at Jefferson bar
racks, St. Louis, Mo. He was assign
ed to troop E, Third Cavalry. After
three months at Boise, Idaho, Troop
E. was ordered to San Francisco,
whence five days later it embarked
for the Philippine Islands. On Jan
uary 15th, IStOfi, the transport arrived
at Camp Stotzenburg, on the island
of Luzon.
Mr. Hahn served two years and five
months in the 3rd Cavalry when he
was transferred to the 6th Cavalry.
Shortly afterwards he was detailed on
detached service at Mauilla, where lie
remained until June 14th last when he
embarked on the transport Sheriden
for San Francisco, landing there on
July 13th last. After his arrival he
was stationed on Angel's island. On
July 24th he was discharged. It will
be seen that the long period of six
weeks or so that has elapsed since
Mr. Hahn embarked at Manilla has,
with the exception of noout ten days,
born with M« journey home
waio. Mr. Hahn says there is little
oi no actual lighting in the Philip
pines at present, the soldiers being
used merely to car:ison the conquer
ed island. The life of the troops, how
ever is not an idle one ;although noth
ing especially hazardous or exciting
occurs, the soldiers are kept moving.
Everything possible is being done by
the government to improve conditions
iu camp and make the life of the sol
dier inviting. Every post has a high
school course, where every soldier, if
so inclined, may improve his educa
tion. At present the post chaplain is
ti>e instructor but a movement is on
fcot to supply each post with a trained
teacher.
Mr. Hahn got his first taste of mil
itary life as a member of Company F,
12th regiment, N. G. P., to which he
belonged for a couple of years He is
completely won over to army life and
does not hesitate to say that, after
spending some time with relatives in
Danville, he will re-enlist.

Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold

PARK BENEFITED
BY THE RAINS
j The new park is sharing in the bene
i fits of the rain of Tuesday afternoon
and night. The four big flower beds
appear very beautiful, while every part
of the park seems refreshed. The low
-1 er end of the grounds where grass seed
was sown the first, is clothed with
green, During thej[dranght*the ground
was sprinkled at but it re
quired a good rain such as we have
just experienced to bring out the grass
and flowers rightly. The upper portion
of the park, completed last, shows but
little signs of grass. Seed was sown
there as well as on the other pait, but
during the drought there was no sign
of grass and it wa> thought that the
seed died as the effect of the heat.
Siuce the rain, however, grass has
made its appearance, which wobld in
dicate that the seed there has sprout
ed. Unless another drought follows,
iu a short time no doubt the entire
pa:k will be covered with grass.
