DEATHS DURING
YEAR PAST
The report to the bureau of vital
statistic! for December reveals a re
markably good state of health in Mon
tour county. Only seventeen deaths
occurred during the month, eight of
these being at the hospital for the in
sane.
Not a single case of typhoid fever
was reported duriug the mouth. Scar
let fever exists in a uiild form but no
deaths from tint disaeHe cciurred. Of
chicken pox, mumps aud measles —dis-
eases which are prevalent in some sec
tions of tlie couuty—no ca-.es have
been reported iu Danville.
Six cases of diphtheria, with one
death from that disease, were reported
duriugjthe month. There were two
cases of pneumonia and one death from
that disease.
Dr. Shnltz, the'local registrar, stat
ed Saturday that while the report
shows a very "good state of the public
health yet Jtliore is uothing at ail
phenomenal about it. The present sea
son of the year is uot one in which
sickness is apt to multiply. The epeoi
aFfeature of tlia report that the town
should felicitate itself upon is the ab
aance ot' typhoid fever, especially in
view of the fact that in many other
towns of the State the disease is as
suming the form of an epidemic.
Compared with the same month last
year the death late seems abnormally
low, bat Dr. Shultz called attention
to tlio fact that it averages about the
s»me as previous years. For instance,
the total number of deaths reported
duriug the year was 257. Iu 11107, the
total number of deaths was 263; iu
1!»06, 251.
Incidentally, the number of births
this year was 268, exceeding the deaths
by 11 The 17 deaths that occurred
during the month just closed were off
set by 20 births.
Gates BroKen at D, L. & W, Crossing.
The gates at the D. L. & W. rail
road were hrokeu Saturday afteruoou.
The accident was caused by twoi
young uifiu, whose names are not
known. A freight train was passing
and the youug fellows, who stood in
the middle of the street south of the
track, amused themselves by tossing
the gates upwards with their bauds, j
EiCh gate instantly fell batik into |
position, but it would not stand the I
jar and the delicate mechanism un
derground that controls its movement j
was broken.
Botli gates on the south side of the j
track had to be taken out of comuiis- j
siou. The breakdown has imposed ex
tra work on Gatemau John Eckert,
who is obliged to occupy a place in
the sti 3et with lighted lantern wlieu
trains approach.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness in caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When i
this tube is iufl »uied you Inve a rum

when it is eiitirelv closed Deafness is,

STATUES ARE a
|| ss®ALUNS T A LL ED
The four beautiful statues are now
in place on the soldiers' monument.
Beyond this point no effort will be
made to complete the memorial tills
winter. On Saturday it was decided
to suspend all work on the steps un
til next spring.
The last statue to be swung into
position was the symbolio figure of
"Peace," installed Saturday after
noon. This is by far the most inter
esting, if not the most beautiful, of
tlio four statues that stand sentinel
at t lie base of the uoble obelitk. By a
happy coincidence the figure of
" Peace" stands facing Bloom street,
where it is seen daily by the large
number of people passing.
On Thursday the figure of the cav
alryman was placjd in position. This
statue faces westward. On that side of
the monument is the bronze tablt t
j containing Lincoln's Gettysburg ad
dress. The bronze panel at the feet
of the statue of "Peace" oontains the
following iuscript'ou : "In Memory
of the Soldiers and Sailers of Montour
county Who Fought for the Preserva
tion of the Union."
Many people yesterday strolled out
to Memorial park to view the statues,
all of which, with one exception,were
I iilaced in position during last week.
| The figure of Peaua instantly ohal
i lenges admiration, not only because of
J ils appropriate symbolism, but also
! because of the pose, 1 ie expression of
; countenance, the detail of clothing.
I etc.
A word as to the symbolism. The
female figure is typical of our "Moth
er Country," who in the years of '6l
'Co entrusted to her citizen soldiers
It'n weapon of offense (a sword i. The
| enemy engaged iu the work of deaola
j tion and disunion is represented by
the lighted torch, held iu the right
band. The faithful soldiers have
v.'reeled trom the enemy the weapon
of disunion, "The Torch of Destruc
tion," and have surrendered it to the
care of "Mother Country,'' who has
extinguished its flame of hatred, at
the same time she receives the sheath■
ed sword, which has been the instru
ment wliichjtnade it possible for the
defense of her honor and integrity.
The inverted torcli being extinguished
j also signifies the extinguishing of sec
j tional hatred bet ween north and south.
A WOMAN'S BACK
The Aches and Pains Will
pear if the Advice of tills Dan
ville Citizen Is Followed.
A woman's back has many aches and
pains.
Most times 'tis the kidney's fault.
Backache is realy kiduey ache :
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
cure it.
Mauy Danville'women know this.
Head what one has to say about it:
Mrs. Peter A. Winters, living at 2C9
East Front street, Danville.Pa , says: j
"I am very grateful for the benefits I
derived from the use of Doan's Kid
ney ills. I suffered for some time from J
pains across the small of my back
which often extended into the" region '
of my kidneys, and were greatly ag- |
gravated after a hard days work Af
ter being on my feet for some time
there was an all-gone feeling across
my back and kidneys and 1 hail hut j
little ambition. Doan's Kidney Pills, :
however, which I prccuted at Hunt's
drug store, strengthened and toned up !
my kidneys and improved n,y general
health. I have never rhein per
sistently enough to obtain a complete j
cure, but whenever I feel any symp- I
touis of ray former troubles returning,
I et once appeal to Moan's Kidney
Pills and they never fail tog ve me j
beneficial results ''

WHAT THE OLD
YEAR SHOWS
The most notable event of the year
19 J8 came at its very dosing, in the
awful catastrophe in Southern Italy,
whioh, at this time appears to be the
greatest earthquake calamity known
to history.
The year of 1908 opened with the
eoouomio and industrial depression
which followed the October pauio of
11)07, bat through the year there has
been a gradual reoovery, so that the
uow year opeuß with inuoh brighter
and an encouraging outlook. The
whole world wan affected by the busi
ness depression.
The presidential election had its de
pressing effect on business, but with
! the electiou of the Republican can
! didate, W. H. Taft, the minority, as
j usual, quietly ac.qaiescd.and the bit
| teruess and heat o( the political battle
quickly subsided. The cruise of our
battleship fleet, the beginning of the
evacuation of Cuba by the United
States troops; the peace understanding
with J.ipau ; the uiaiketl improvement
in aerial navigation ; the system of uii
! der the liver tuuuels in New Yoik
opened, progress made in wireless
telegraphy,are important events of the
| year. Two-seut postage for latters has

l'he Railroads Showing,
Railroad coustnuliou last yoar wis
Jnrgely curt liled as a result of the 11)07
panic and its causequeuces. Tahu'a
tiuus made by the Kailioad Gaz
ette show that 3.214 miles of new
main line track was laid in 11)08. is
compared with 5,212 miles the year
Imtore, and.">, 623 miles in 1906. The
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
constructing its Pacific const exten
sion, built more railroad than any
other company adding 71)0 miles to its
system. There was a great decrease
iu the number of cars aud locomotives
built last year. Only 78,271 cars were
built, as compared with 289,645 cats
ironstrueted during 11)07, which year
holds the high record. The number of
locomotives built last year was 2,342,
against 7,362, built during 11)07. Ord
ers actually placed In year by railroad
for new equipment amounted to only
1.183 locomotives, 1,319 passenger cars
and 63,669 freight cars. Last year
twenty-four railroad companies, op
erating a total of 8,009 miles of line,
an.l having an aggregate capitaliza
tion of jg.")98,859,00U went iuto receiv
er-. ii p. This marks the greatest bank
ruptcy of railroad corporations since
the panic year of 1893: hut compared
with that year, when railroads with
29 340 miles of line and a capitali'/.i
tion of 11,781,046,000 went into re
ceivership, the showing last year de
monstrates the remarkably strong posi
tion in which recent yeais of great
prosperity had placed the railroads of
the United States.

AMATEURS GAVE
FINEJERFORMANCE
The production of the comedy drama.
"Esmeralda," which has been in
| course of preparation for about a
mouth under the direction of G.
Stuart Brodock, was given two very
satisfactory presentations at the opeta
house on Friday and Saturday even
ings
The play was given as a second au
nual benefit for the Danville High
School Athletic association, and with
the exception of .Mr Hrodotk,the cast
was composed entirely of amateurs,
who acquitted themselves in a manner
that would have done credit to a cast
of professionals.
The play is a simple little story that
is woven about the fortunes of a rural
Xorth Caroliua family by the uame of
Rogers. A t-udden accession to great
wealth so turns the head cf Mrs Rog
ers that she carries her long mfferiug
husband and daughter off to Paris.
Here she tries to marry the daughter
to a French Nobleman, ouly to have
her schemes frusrat?d by the a] pear
ance of Esmeralda's North Caroliua
lover, and, of course, everything ends
most happily.
A distribution of praise would in
clude a most complimentary n ention
of each name on the program, as each
person in the cast interpreted the lines
assigned to tin m in such a manner as
to bring out all the best of the play
Between the acts several numheis
were introduced, which included club
swinging by James Kase, severnl vocal
selections by Miss Andrews and Miss
Hinshillwood. They were repeatedly
8 encored. Miss May McKinney areoni -
pauied the vocal numbers.
