88 BUCKETFULS
IN AN HOOR
George Rockwell, who holds the con
tract for filling up the canal at the
hospital for the insane lias the work
well under way as is attested by the
immense pile of mud that has been
scooped out of the old canal aud dump
ed on the bank.
A dredging machine is a novelty at
an inland town like Danville i»nd it
naturally attracts a good many visit
ors to the hospital grounds when it is
in commission It is a ponderous affair
of a modern type very complex and in
genious in construction doing its work
with rapidity aud unwavering accur
acy.
Next to the machine as an object of
wonder is the engineer installed upon
it—Cyrus Best of Northumberland.
The complexity of the machine will
be understood when it is stated that
the engineer has no less thau six lev
ers to manipulate all practically at the
same time. Two of the levers he op
erates by his feet, three by his hands
and one by his leg. He is remarkably
clever in the manipulation of the
ponderous machine and his movements
have a peculiar fascination to the eye
as he stands there by his engine doing
so to speak half a dozen things at one
time.
Some idea of what is required of the
man will be uuderstood when it is ex
plained that when working at its best
the dredge is capable of scooping up
88 bucketfuls of mud per hour aud
this is actually the record made ou
Friday. This allows less than a min
ute for a bucketful; by timing the op
eration with a watch less than forty
seconds were found to elapse from the
time the empty grab or bucket left the
dump until it returned with a load.
In this brief interval the set of levers
had to be manipulated so as to control
the engine—swing the boom out over
the canal—lower the bucket —close the
grab—raise the bucket—swing the
boom back to the bank aud dump the
clay.
The bucket or grab holds a cart load.
It sinks down eight feet blow the wat
er lying in the bottom of the canal
audit seldom comes up without being
filled. The dredging constitutes a job
of considerable magnitude and notwith
standing the rapidity of movement it
will not be completed for at least two
weeks. This week the contractor will
begin the laying if the railroad track
to be used iu connection with the fill
ing up of the canal. It will not be
until the last of September that the
work of hauling cinder to fill up the
old water way will commence. Mean
while Harry Gaskins, the engineer of
the dingey, will be employed on the
dredge, where his extended experience
makes his services especially useful,
A GOOD REASON.
Danville People Can Tell You Why
It Is So.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of.disease, and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, heartache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Danville
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. John Swarts, living at 211
Church St., Danville, Pa., says:
"Prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills,
Mr. Swarts suffered a great deal from
pains through his back and kidneys,
and at times he had a severe lameness
across liis loins. Although he used a
number of remedies, he was unable to
find relief At last it was his good
fortune to learn of Doan's Kidney Pills
aud procured a box at Hunt's drug
store. A short use restored his kidneys
to a normal coudition and all the oth
er symptoms of his trouble disappear
ed. " Since then, whenever he has felt
a return of backache, he has at once
appealed to Doan's Kidney Pills, and
they have never failed to promptly
banish his trouble."

Hospital ll—Stove Works 3.
In a fast game on the hospital grounds
Saturday afternoon, the hospital team
defeated the stove works team by a
score of 11 to 3. The battery for the
hospital was Fisher and Arnold. My
ers aud Burns were in the points for
the stove works. Hospital had 9 hits,
stove works 4. Fisher struck out 9
men and Myers 4 men.
ACCOMPLICE MAKES
SECOND ATTEMPT
On last Saturday night another "at
t'rnpt was made to liberate the Pol
auder, who escaped from the hospital
for the insane with the aid of an ac
complice on the Wednesday night pre
vions.
The confederate was frightened away
but not until he had removed a pane
of glass from the window of the cell
in which the Polander was confined.
The patient himself affects to disap
prove of these attempts to secure his
release surreptitiously. Meanwhile
the authorities hardly know what to
make of the matter and are keeping a
close watch about the grounds at
night.
It is believed by some that the pati
ent on being released last week, in his
mad and irresponsible mood, turned
on his friends aud that they were glad
to let him go.

MERCHANTS MAKE
ANOTHER KILLING
The Recreation Reserves,of Blooms
burg, who defeated the Merchants by
a large score, several weeks ago, sip
ped the dregs of defeat themselves on
Saturday, when the locals piled up a
score of twelve aud sent the visitors
home mourning over nine large round
ones. Owing to the fact that due to a
misunderstanding, the base ball en
thusiasts of town were not notified of
the game until Saturday afternoon, the
attendauoe was small. The absentees
missed one of the most remarkable
games ever played on the home
grounds. It fairly overflowed with
sensational features, two base hits,
three base hits and home runs being
especially plentiful—and all swelled
the score of the home team.
The pitching of McCloud was of the
most phenomenal sort and excited
round after round of applause from the
spectators. From the start of the game
lie had everything his way, not allow
ing the visitors a single hit, and for
all the good the outfielders did they
might have retired without injuring
the ohancs of the Merchants in the
least, for at no time did the ball leave
the infield. The feat has not been
duplicated in Danville for a number
of years.
Mintzer, a new recruit,on the home
team,distinguished himself behind the
bat, holding the speedy ones McCloud
tossed up, without a teeming effort
Sechler was batting in his old form—
and then some. He made two home
runs, and three base hits galore and
then stopped simply because it was a
shame to continue.
In the fourth inning in a forced run
to second, Lawrence injured his knee
and was replaced by "Rusty" Ross,
the old timer, who has his eye still on
the hall, and showed the youngsters a
thing or two "just for fun."
So much for tue doings of the Merch
ants Bloomsburg was inactive. They
were up against the McCloud puzzle
auil before they found the solution the
game was over.
The score:

COUNCIL IS
GETTING ANXIOUS
Tbejniuety days' time given the bor
ough of Danville to equip the city
hall with a fire escape has elapsed
and up to date there is no fire escape
aud apparently no Bign of one. It is
doubtful, however, whether the bor
ough could be charged with contempt
or dereliotion, as it is the sport of cir
cumstances over which it seemingly
has little control.
When the deputy factory inspector
visited this city in May he was im
pressed with the necessity of a fire es
cape at city hall, especially as related
to the third story, where the Odd Fel
lows meet and where the facilities for
escape in case of fire are wholly inad
equate. He ordered the borough, which
owns the building, to erect a fire es
cape aud gave it jast ninety days in
which to complete the work.
After more or less delay, on July
18th, the contract for the fire escape
was awarded to Merritt & Company,
of Philadelphia for §341. Since then
the thing lias beeu hanging fire.
About a month ago a representative
of Merritt & 00., visited this city for
the purpose of verifying measure
ments. His visit was followed with a
communication from the company sug
gesting several important departures
from the plans and specifications,
which in the opinion of council were
ill-advised aud consequently were not
approved of. Several weeks have
elapsed siuce Secretary Patton wrote
the firm informing it that the borough
would insist on having the fire escape
constructed precisely according to
plaus and specifications. Since then
he has not heard from the firm.
In the meantime the 27th of August
—the limit of tiie three mouths, time
granted the borough hy the factory in
spector—has come and gone. What turn
the affair will take next no one would
oare to predict.
The question that concerns the mem
bers of council most is what the State
would do with them, if the factory
inspector were to come this way and
discover that his orders have not beeu
carried out.

NEW SYSTEM
_J REPORTS
The local school board Is considering
the advisability of inaugurating some
important changes relating to the re
port of rank, attendance, deportment,
etc., of pupils in the public schools.
Heretofore the monthly report of the
pupil gent home to the parent indicat
ing the attendance, condnct, neatness
and the proficiency attained in the
several branches was final There was
no way open for parents to test the ac
curacy of the report or for them to
compare the standing of their own
children with those of others of the
same class.
The new system, for which blanks
have already been printed, provides,
first, that each teacher at the close of
the month shall present to the borough
superintendent a report of each pupil
in her class arranged in a column,
which report must be made "on her
judgment without consulting standing
in tests." If a parent is not satisfied
with the standing of his child all he
has to do is to visit the borough sup
erintendent and ask for the report
showing the "standing of the pupils
for the month," wheu he will see the
percentages attained by his child side
by side with those of other members
of the class. The blank.properly filled
out. showing the relative standing of
pupils will be available to the school
board when questions involving pu-
I nils* attainments come up for discus
j sion at the meetings Heretofore the
board was much handicapped by the
want of satisfactory data of this sort.
! Another new feature is the
I nual report" of the rank, attendance,
j deportment and scholarship of the pu
pils. Opposite the name of each pupil
j is a double line, on the topmost one of
j which is set down under its proper
I head the average of the monthly re
j views or examinations,which are uni
form over the borough. On the line
immediately below is set down the
average of the monthly reports of the
| same pupil made on the judgment of
the teacher and presented to the bor
ough superintendent. The two aver
ages on the annual report should not
differ much, if good conscientious
j work lias been done by the teacher
j It is also proposed hereafter to have
| the questions and the examination
I papers all returned to the borough sup-
J erlntendeut's office, where they will
ibe carefully preserved in the safe. In
this way they will be available to the
| school board if needed at any time to
settle controversies growing out of the
J examination.
Four Fish Dams Installed.
There are four fish baskets installed
iin ttie North branch at this point and
the owuers are anxiously awaiting a
freshet hoping to be rewarded with a
j big catch of eels, catfish, carp anil
j suckers, which comprise the four var
; ities of fish ttiat may be taken from
the river by fish baskets.
Under the law fish baskets may be
j constructed only on procuriug a license
at the office of the county commission
ers, which license costs one dollar.
The first license was taken out by
| John Tooey of this city. His dam with
| basket which is constructed near the
t Greek's mouth, is a most extensive af
fair and ten men were employed sev
eral days in its construction. The long
wingwalls aud the basket itself may
be clearly discerned on looking west
ward from the river bridge.
Licenses were also taken out by R.
M. Foust, William Dawson aud Abram
Hite. Each of these have constructed
s fish dams, the most of them being
j above the bridge. The license granted
| holds good from August 15th to Dec
emebr Ist.
Although under the license the hold
ler may take catfish, ells, carp and
| suckers iu the fish basket..vet it is the
big catch of eels that the most of the
j owuers of baskets are looking forward
I to. The eels with the first rise iu the
| river will come down from the num
erous tributaries iu thousands.
Under the act of May :>!), 190", all
other fish than the four above named
varieties that may fiud their way into
the fish baskets must immediately be
returued unharmed totlie water whence
they were taken.

Body Found Along Tracks.
An unknown negro, aged abont 35
years, was found dead along the tracks
' of the Pennsylvania railroad at B tow
er, between Northumberland ami
Kapp's station, Tuesday morning.
The discovery was made by the track
walker while attending to his duties
of inspecting that sectiou of the track
of the Philadelphia and Erie division
between 3 aud 4 o'clock. The dead
man bad both legs cut off at the knees
aud had a wound in the forehead,
j Death was probably instantaneous.
| The negro was shore in stature, be
! iug scarcely 5 feet iu height. B'rom
| his appearance it is belioved that he
| came from the south. It is believed
j that he was in Cole Brothers' circus,
j which showed in Lewisburg Monday
aud passed through. Northumberland
j and Sunbury during the night on its
| way south. As one of the numerous
laborers connected with the show,most
of them vagrants who come and go as
they please, he probably was not miss
ed,aud even though he may have been,
| little was thought of it. Laborers of
| that class sleep wherever and when
| ever they can, and it is possible that
! the negro was in slumber on a car be-
I neath a wagon when he fell from the
i car under the wheels and was killed.
I The remains after being found were
j placed aboard a light engine and tak
j en to Suubury.
j The negro, whose name is said to
! have been William Brown, will be
j buried this morning at 10 o'clock by
the Point township authorities in the

Over-Work. Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Hake Impure Blood.
All the blood la your body passes through
your kidneys onse every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
ov«r-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's

soon realized. It stands the highest for its

BIG SCHOOL OF
BLACK BASS
The river has now attained about as
low a point as it ever reached in years
past. The farmers between Danville
I and Roaring creek are fording the
stream at different points and nowlier
! does it reaoh to the axletrees of their
' wagons. •
It has been a long time since the
water in the river has been so clear as
at present; it is simply as transparent
as glass, clearly revealing from the
sidewalk of the bridge the smallest
objects on the river bottom.
The fish no longer have a hiding
place. Their movements and their size
are closely observed by people on the
bridge, who find the river an object
of never-ending interest. In this rela
tion a curious episode occurred Sun
| day.
As M. H. Scliram was walking on
tho bridge with his eye on the river
he detected a school of fish, the body
of each one as clearly outlined before
the eye as if he held it in his hand.
He couuted the fish and found that
there were about eighty. So distinctly
were they visible that he distinguish
ed about fifty of them as bass. The
number of tish was too great and he
was unable to take much note of the Tti«
Tti« iaroest of the l! a -u »<>.•»
over a foot in length ; many were short
er.
It was a most unusual thing ; Mr.
Schram had never heard of the like.
It was evideutly one of the secrets of
the river laid bare'by the phenomen
ally low stage of the water.
Just then a trolley car, well loaded
with people, came along and Mr.
Schram signalled the motormaii to
stop. The latter complied and nearly
all on board flocked over to the side
walk and were rewarded by having a
good look at what was probably the
first big school of black bass over seen
in the river at this place.
