GIVES POSTAL
INFORMATION
Believing that the proper method of
addressing letters and other mail mat
ter should be part of every child's ed
ucation, Postmaster General Meyer
lias issued a small pamphlet of infor
mation on domestic and foreign mail,
its classification, conditions and the
rates of postage thereon, which he
hopes to place iu every room in the
public schools of the United States.
The little book of 40 pages is filled
with postal 'information aud Post
master General Meyer hopes that the
teachers will endeavor to devote some
time to imparting some of the facts to
the pupils.particularly the proper way
ot addressing mail and the value of
placing a return address thereon, the
advantage of registering valuable pack
ages and of sending money by money
order, the rates and conditions under
which mail is sent to foreign coun
tries. together with points on the par
cols post system aud information on
the special delivery system aud all
other phases of the postal system
which are liable to be of use to auy
person at any time.
A supply of these pamphlets has been
received at the local post office and
Postmaster Gouger is mailing one to
every sohool teacher in this county,in
the hope that they may be found of
value in connection with "the three
lis" in teaching the young idea how
to shoot.
WELL DESERVED.
The Praise That Comes From
Thankful Danville People.
One kidney remedy never fails.
Diuville people rely npou it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Danville testimony proves it alwavs
reliable.
Robert G. Miller, living at 315
Ferry street, Danville, Pa., says:
• Doan's Kidney Pills were first re
commended to me about ten years ago.
Pior to that time I had cousulted phy
sicians one of whom said I had lum
bago in its worst form. I was also told
bv authorities that I would go into
Bright'* Disease if I did not find some
remedy that would check the trouble.
I had terrible pains in my back, so
severe at times that I was hardly able
to move aud I could hardly bear to
place my hands across tha small of my j
back. Added to all this misery was a I
complete retention of my kidney seere- |
lions at times, while at otliors they i
wore copious aud caused me a great
deal of annoyance, forcing me to arise
many times during the uight. The
least cold I contracted would settle on
my kidneys and greatly aggravate my
suffering. I used plasters as well as
different remedies but failed to fiud
relief. However, Doan's Kidney Pills,
which I procured at Hunt's drug
store, went directly to the seat of my
trouble, correcting the difficulties and j
relieving the rheumatic pains iu my
limbs. I appeal to Doan's Kidney
Pills now and then aud they never fail
to keep my kidneys in a healthy con
dition. "

THE BASIS FOR
Edwin Markham in January Success
says that the noblest resolution that
any citizen oould make .for the New
Year would be the resolution to live
more faithfully by the Golden Hule,
that sublime principle of conduct for
this world and for all worlds. Failure
to live by this law causes the chief
sorrows and collisions among men.
Let each earnest mau search into his
words and ways, determined to find
the special manner in which he breaks
the Golden Law —his special habit
that works injustice or uuhappiness in
his shop, his office, his home.his oity.
He svill find, perhaps, that in the shop
he is in the habit of misplacing tools,
and this hinders the work of his com
rades; that in the office he is in the
habit of being late in keeping appoint
ments find thus steals other people's
time; that in the club he is in the
habit of belittling worthy competit
ors, and thus joins the gang of thieves
who steal reputations; that in the
home he is in the habit of monopoliz
ing the conversation, and thus fails to
draw ont the powers of others; that in
the city he is in the habit of spitting
on the sidewalk, and thns spoils the
oomfort of liis townsmen ;that in busi
ness he is in the habit of misrepresent
ing his goods, and thus robs under the
oover of custom. These are problems
in the Golden Rule; and here are
ample space and verge for New Year
resolutions—space and range for build
ing character, oharactcr which is the
greatest thing in man.

ney Remdoy every year. It is consid

ABOUT THE NEXT
CAPITOL CASE
HARRISBURG, Dec. 3.
The next Capitol case to be heard is
known as the desk ease aud when it
comes to trial on April 5 will attract
much attention. Tiie indictment
charges that in furnishing 272 "speci
ally designed" desks to the State they
were billed at 366 3 4 feet aud charged
under item 24, which covers painting
at $2.52 per foot, although the prices
were those for furniture under item
22 at $lB 40. The State does not raise
the question of the feet coutained.but
asserts that the desks should have been
charged by the price or SIO.BO under
item 27. The bill was $61,948.20 and
the proper charge is alleged to be 86,-
870.90, thereby indicating a fraud of
$15,517.30.

KILLED GOING TO
SEE DYING MOTHER
Summoned to the bedside of his dy
ing mother in Ashland on Christmas
eve, Harry Erwin. a 16 years old boy
employed as water and tool oarrier for
the repair gang of the P. & R. at
Locust Gap, was harrying along the
railroad to reaoh his parent before she
breathed her last when a ooal train,
running at a rapid rate, struck him,
injuring the boy so badly that he died
Saturday in the Miners' hospital.
The unfortunate's head was fright
fully out and his body deeply lacerat
ed. No one saw the aooident audit
was not until soiao time after the boy
had been run down that his unconsc
ious form was discovered along the
tracks.
It was after concluding his work for
the day that Erwin received word of
his mother's serious illness. The mess
age stated that she called for him un
ceasingly and repeated again and
again, "If I could only see Harry's
face I would die content," His mind
was shaken by the thought of losing
his paient, the youth did not observe
the cautiou required of walkers on the
railroad and the train came upon him
unawares.
Ihe father of the young man is an
inmate of the Miners' hospital suffer
ing from an iujury sustained in the
mines. His mother's condition is so
critical that news of her sons' tragic
death is withheld, relatives fearing
that the shock would hasten the end.

ANOTHER STATUE
IN POSITION
Auother statue has been lifted into
position at the soldiers' monument.
This is the figure of the infantryman,
which stands facing the east, next to
the statue of the Gunner—facing the
north—which was installed hut week.
The amount of detail wroughr, <n
both statues, the pjse, &e., invests
theui with almost life-like properties.
The iufautryciau, especially, itmi
mands instant admiration. The uni
form and the old-fashioned gun recall a|
figure that we were all familiar witli |
during the days of the Civil war.
The allegorical figure of Peace, which
is the most striking and beautiful of
the four statues, will face Bloom street
or the south. It will probably be iu 1
stalled yet during the present week.

Women Who Wear Well.
It Is astonishing haw groat a ehs.nge i
low years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
womon. The freshness, the charm, th«'
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance ant!
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
chango which comes with marria::o and
motherhood. Many neglect to doal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.

OLD YEAR HAS
RUN ITS COURSE
The old year has entered upon its
last day, and at midnight will dawn
the new yea?—-U»C!l. During the next
fesv weeks tiie wise business manager
will be laying plana for the work of
tb« incoming period. The old year
has left on the shelves and counter- of
all merchants a residue of stock. It is
not out-of-date or shop worn or in any
respect the worse for the woar. But
{it will become all those things if kept
|on hand for another season and for
I that raason it would be better to get j
| rid of such property at once. Purchas
ers have au equal interest in these
held over stocks if they kuow where j
to look for what they waut Goods
that are needed in the house are noue
the worse because they might have
been regarded, a week ago, as suitable
for Christmas gifts aud are left over
from the holiday stocks. They oome
cheaper now, in all probability, be
cause the merchant wants to clear his
Bhelves of goods suitable to another 1
season,and prefers to sell at a sacrifice
rather than goto the trouble aud ex
pense of packing things away to he
taken out again next year. The ad
vertising columns of the local news
paper is the natural and logical instru
ment for bringing the buyer and selle

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
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may f-~- y^_

this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about it, both Home of Swamp-Root,

TO REPEAL TWO
CENT RATE LAW
One of the most Important bills to
be introduced in the next session of
the legislature will be one providing
for the repeal of the two cent fare act.
The railroads of the State, which are
still forced to comply with this act,
have combined in a movement to
bring about the repeal of the act and
sentiment is reported so strong
throughout the State as to forecast the
repeal of the act without much op
position. The Pennsylvania railroad
had the act declared unconstitutional,
but this decision affects that road
alone. Those who are supporting the
repeal bill say that the enforcement of
the measure has worked to the disad
vantage and financial loss not only to
railroad interests, but to business in
communities where the smaller roads
have taken off many of the passenger
trains. It is also pointed out that the
aot has been declared unconstitutional
as regards the Pennsylvania system
proper and that the continued enforce
ment of the act makes it spe ial leg
islation and that on its face makes the
law clearly unconstitutional. The
Reading road still adheres to the two
cent fare and the Northern Central,
whioh is really a branch of the Penn
sylvauia, also gives two cent rate.
The case wou by the Pennsylvania
Railroad company which made the law
unconstitutional, was wou by that
railroad alone and the ruling affects
none of its tributaries.
