DEFEATS DANVILLE
In a snappy game af. the armory on
Saturday uight.the Heading Iron com
pauy basket, ball team was defeated by
the strong Milton high school aggrega
tion by the score of 21 —l4. A good
sized and enthusiastic audience wit
nessed the contest. It was interesting
from the btart. The teams were even
ly matched and every point was hard
fought. The visitois had the best of
it in weight, outweighing tiie local !
boys 15 pounds to the man. Iu spite j
of this handicap, however, Danville .
held its own and the first half ended !
with the score 9—B iu Milton's favor |
The second half was a repitition of
the first nntil toward the end of the
half Milton developed a winning
streak aud placed turee baskets iu
short order, running the score up to
21—14.
The playing of Cooper for Danville
deserves mention. Placed as forward,
he played all over, no mixup was too
fierce for him and a number of tiiwps
lie was completely lost to the view of
the spectators, but he always turned
up with the ball. Lovett also played
a nice throwing game, placing several
difficult baskets at opportune mo
ments.

In the death ot William H. Animer
nniu, the well kuown insurance agent,
Danville is called upon to nioaru the

honored citizens.
Death, which was dne to a nervous
breakdown, occurred at 7 o'clock last
evening after a siege of suffering nine
weeks in duration. The deceased had
beou very low for several days and
death was not unexpected.
William H. Animerman was born in
Hush township, Northumberland coun
ty, on November 19th, 1834. He fol
lowed farming until he was 23 years
of age For several years he taught
school. Early in life he embarked in
the insurance business,being first con
nected with the Farmers' Mutual Fire
Insurance company of Middle Penn
sylvania. He was one of the organiz
ers of the Danville Mutual Fire In
surance company.
In 1867 lie formed a partnership with
Patterson Johnson, the firm doing a
general insurance business for 18 years
nntil the death of Mr. Johnson in 1883.
Following the death ot' Mr. Johnson
the insurance business was conducted
by William H. A miner man. J
The deceased is survived by his
wife, live sons aud one daughter:
Frauk R. Animerman, of New York ;
lion R, S Animerman, George Ed
ward and J. Milton Ammeiinati, of

Why Does the Rooster Crow ?
There are sixteen billion eggs laid ;
by the hens of the United States each
year.
Those hens are worth seventy iuil- I
lion dollars, or about one-tenth ns
much as John D. Rockefeller.
If we applied socialism to liens we
would each of us—men, women aud
children, white, black, red, yellow
and mixed—receive three hens and a
fraction. The share of each of us
would be worth $1.12.
But these hens lay their eggs in the
daytime, and, counting the difference
of time between Portland, Me., and
Portland, Ore., it is fair to say that
the union laying day is not more than
15 hours long.
Every time the watch ticks—every
second from daylight at Plymouth
Rock, Mass., to dusk at Capf Mendoc
ino, Cal.. —one thousand three hun
dred aud eighty-eight eggs are added
to the world's wealth.
Our friend the hen seems to be try
ing to supply an egg a day to each
man, woman aud child in the country.
There are seventy million of us,so the
hen is not yet quite up to the mark. !
Her output, now, however, would sup-j
pic one egg for each of m every day
except Tuesdays and one Thursday a
mouth.
We hear of our "export trade" in i
meat, hot if we had n big pair of j
scales anil we put all the beef am! j
pork, the tallow aud ham,aud ail s..cli j
stuff as that we export each vear, on j
one side.and wm put tne year's sunply
of eggs on the other, the one billion I
seven hundred million pounds of meat 1
exports would be outweighed.
When it comes down to dollars aud |
cents, we find (hat the egg output is j
greater than the value of all the tnin-1
eral mined in the United States each
year: it is times us valuable as '
the total crop of wool
Si inach for glittering gene.ralities, j
and now a word on team aud iudividn- j
al high scores.
A Penvsvlvaiua prize team of eight j |
averaged 289 egg* per vear, while an i 1
industrious pullet in Ma'ue perprtrat- j
ed two eggs a d.tv in live onf of a
s'raiuht 3uda>s. nul her total scores 1
fur 33 diivs was 34 egg.
Now let us suppose that chielcubiddy I
went in for fancy as weil ns plain j
playing. Suppose she laid her eggs j
end t i end and iu a straight line east |
and west She wou d lay some 500,- I
800 miles of eggs per year, or a belt !

WOMAN STRUCK
BY TRAIN
Mrs. Henry Messer, of Riverside,
was struck by the 4 :31 passenger train
Saturday evening and hurled from the
track. She sustained only slight in
juries, however.
Mrs. Messer, who is 67 years of age,
was walking down the track. Her
hearing is bad. in addition to which
she had her shawl over her head. Shu
had reached a point below the silk
mill known r,s Wildsmith's crossing
when the down passenger train ap
proaohed
There was a train of freight cars ou
the aiding, in addition to whioli there
is a curve just above that point, which
prevented the engiueer from seeing
the woman until he was quite near.
He sounded the whistle indicating
danger. The people living near heard
the whistle, but Mrß. Messer,with her
ears muffled by her shawl, was unable
to hear a sound. She kept on her way,
walking on the track, while the en
gineer applied the emergency brake.
Before he could stop the train, how
ever, the front part of the locomotive
to which the pilot is attached struck
the woman directly under the shoulder
blade and hurlel her head first off the
track.
The train passed on and as soon as
it could be brought to a stop returned
to where the accident ocourred. There
were several eye witnesses of the af
fair and they all thought that the wo
man was fatally injured. To the sur
prise of all, however, she leaped to !
her feet and when the crew of the
train came to her aid she refused all I
assistance and proceeded to her home !
alone.
Dr. I. G. Barber, of this city, phy
sician for the Pennsylvania railroad !
company, visited Mrs. Messer later 1
and discovered that although bruised
somewhat, yet she was not seriously
hurt.
The injured woman is the mother ot |
Joseph and Andrew Smith, butchers, [
of this city.
Mrs. Mcßaney's Experience
Mrs. Mcßaney, Prentiss, Miss., j
writes : "1 was confined to my bed for ;
three months with kidney and bladder
trouble, and was treated by two phy
sicians but failed to get relief. No j
human tongue can tell how I suffered, >
and I had given up hope of ever get- !
ting well until I began taking Foley's i
Kidney Remedy. After taking two ]
bottles I felt like a new person, and i

" 'Pon Eouor" Test Arouses Interest.
The following is from Tuesday's :
Philadelphia Press :
Much interest has been aroused
among jurists and lawyers through
out the State iu au experiment tried
hy J udga Charles C. Evans, of Ber- |
wick, presiding ol the twenty
sixth judicial district. He has sus
pended sentence ou two chronic offend
ers, Several times convicted of larceny,
iu order to give tlieui a chance to live
upright lives if it is in them to do so. j
If they tail to reloriu they are to serve i
six years each at hard labor and in
solitary confinement
The offenders r,re Charles Chamber
lain who has served three terms foi
larceny and William Meredith who
has severed two teuns Each pleaded
guilty a few days ago of larcetiv, on
two counts.
JUDGE GIVES REASONS.
2 On speaking of his experiment in
their case Judge Evans sa.vs :
"Iu suspending sentence upon Cham
berlain and Meredith it uootured to
me that perhaps the young men might
do better in the futtire if they were
given a chance. Sentences tit the
county jail and penitentiary hate ap
parently done them uo good.
"Chamberlain has served three terms
and Meredith two for larceny of some
thing worth but a tew dollars. In the
cases In which I suspended sentence,
they pleaded guilty of stealing from 1
refrigerators on rear porches of resi
dences. When they were before me
for sentence they were apparently
fraul; and willing to tell all about
their experieuce in the criminal
courts, they come from good families,
their mothers being particularly estim
able old ladies.
"It occurred to me that they might
have a spark of mauhood left in their
make-up and I concluded to give them
a chance. Heretofore they have per
haps received harsh rreatmeut at the
bauds of the court. I concluded to try
kind treatment.
More people are taking Foley's Kid- j
liey Remdey every year. It is consid
ered to be the most effective remedy j
for kbluey and bladder troubles that
medical soieuce can devise. Foley's

BRUIN TREED
THE HUNTER
Treed by a 200-pound bear after it
had hugged him, torn off his clothes
uud chased him half a mile, when he
succeeded iu escaping, William Tem
ple, of Emmons,Columbia county, was
forced to sit iu the bitter cold on a
small branch for nearly four hours.
Tuesday.until a companion, searching
for him, came upou the bear and shot
it.
Temple had three deep scratches in
the face, his clothes were badly torn
iu the encounter, and lie was scared

ESTIMATED COST
INCLUDES PUMPING
Owing to the near approach of the
date wheu the borough must prepare
ami submit plana for a sewage dispos
al plant the article in our last issue
aroused a great deal of interest among
the taxpayers of the borough.
Several persons have asked for furth
er information on the subject.
First, they deßire to know whether
thirty thousand dollars, the approxi
mate cost, includes the installing of
the pumping plant, whioh goes with
the sprinkling filter recommended by
the committee.
Borough Secretary Harry Patton
yesterday stated that lie was present
when the expert made the estimate
and that as he understood it the in
stalling of the sprinkling tilter would
cost $30,000 and the pumping plant
SIO,OOO additional.
Second, they desire to know what
the probable cost of maintaining such
a plant wonld be.
Iu regard to maintenance it seems
that uo definite estimate was made by
the expert.
The city of SVilliamsport, which is |
figuring on a sewage disposal plant, to
oost over $300,000, has obtained some
data aB to maintenance, &c., that
has given the project a decided set
back.
According to the figures of an ex
pert it will oost Williamsport at least
S3O por day, or almost SII,OOO a year,
for maintenance. The visiting eugi- I
j neer also jarred councils by the state- |
moot that systems anil plans employed !
j in the erection and operation of sew- j
! age disposal plants at this time may he j
| considered obsolete ten years from
now, leaving the impression that the |
] expenditure of a large amount of mon-
I ey at present be next to waste ,
ful in the light of what the next de- '
cade may develop.

Opening Be:l of Blizzard's Run.
The D. L. & W. Railroad company
is excavating ou Blizzard's run at the
bend of the stream east of the station.
In order to prevent the run from
overflowing the railroad a oulvert of
ample dimensions was constructed un
der the track at this point, a year or
so ago. South of the railroad, how
ever, where the beud occurs, the bed
of the stream is low aud wheu raius
occur the water, instead of draining
off freely is thrown back upon the
track.
In order to facMitate the flow of
water the railro»rt companv is deepen
ing the chatiuel beside the track. Some
half a dozen meu were at work Tues
day, the ground excavated beiug load

opening of the channel by the railroad
company will no doubt have the effect
of preveutiug flooding iu the future.

POLES ON STREET
YIELD REVENUE
If the average oitizen were ivsfeed to
conjeoture how inauy poles tbe differ- j
eut telephone, electric light aud other
companies maintain in Danville he ;
would probably gueas wide of the
mark.
Few people would believe that there j
are over one thousand poles on our
streets supporting overload the eys- j
tem of wires that conducts the electric \
current, in one or another of its forms ,
that have become such indispensitie
factors in modern civilization.
To be exaot there are just 1088 poles |
in Danville,disrihuted as follows: The
American Telephone aud Telegraph
company, 58.'Western Union company, !
3; Standard Eleotrio Light company,
239; Philadelphia, Reading and
Pottsville Telegraph company, 9;
United Telephone and Telegraph com
pany, 150: Danville and Kloomsburg
Street Railway compauy, 70; Danville
and Sunbury Transit company,73; Bell
Telephone company, 91; Danville
Electric Light plant, 400.
While the poles in one sense are ob
jectionable yet the-y yielel the borough
an annual revenue which is by no
means to be despised. From each cor
poration outside the borough a year
ly tax of sixty cents per pole is col
lected, amounting in the aggregate to
over |4OO.
In the past some trouble was exper
j ieuced iu collecting the license owing
|to the multiplicity of poles aud ti c
j difficulty iu discovering the true own
■ ers. At present, however, the ques
tion of ownership is settled; none of
t lie compauies are disposed to dispute
the legality of the tax and pavmeut
is promptly made;.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to bold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled togo 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 wonderful cures of the most dis-
I tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

MEETING NOT
A SUCCESS
| From appearances it would seem
| that the mummers' parade, which tor
| so uiany years past lias been a feature
lon New Year's day, will ba omitted
| in Danville this year,
i A gentleman who in years past baa
always been a prime mover in the New
j Year's demonstration Monday ex
j plained that there is a lack of enthu
|si asm at present which auguis ill for
I the success of the event. In face, it
I would seem tliat the idea of holding a
I parade this year has been practically
j abandoned.
| Meetings for tiie purpose of taking
action in a preliminary way were call
jed on two different occasions, hot at
j neither time did the attendance ex
| ceed more than lialf a dozen men.
i It seenis to lie the general opinion
that with the dedication of the sol
diers' monument,tin Odd Fellows' an
niversary aud the Six-County Fire
[ men's convention onr town las quite
| enough on its bands during the next
; several months without being asked
j for subscript ions for the mummers'
parade, which would require about
SJOO
This is the view taken by those who
in previous years were the prime mov
ers in getting up the New Year's de
monstration. '1 he failure to hold a
parade this year, therefore is not to bo
1 attributed to auy lack of enthusiasm
or civic pride, but rather to a desire
not, to exceed what is just and reason
able iu asking contributions of the
1 public.
The time is short and it is perfectly
clear that, unless something import
j ant is done during the next few days,
j a mummers' parade this year will be
an impossibility.
