Montour American ! FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Feb. 11,1909. SPECIAL MEETING OF COUNCIL The borough council Monday evening ! held a special meeting for the purpose ! of passing a resolution urging Senator Cochran and Representative Ammer mau to support the bill relating to sewage disposal systems iu cities, bor oughs.aiul other municipalities of this commonwealth, poviding for the cost thereof aud making an appropriation for the same. Briefly, the proposed act provides that whenever any city or borough shall be directed by the State depart ment of health to cease or plan to cease emptying its untreated or un pnrifled sewago into the waters of the State and is, therefore,obliged to pro vide for the treatment of its sewage by some system of sewage disposal, then, and iu all such cases, the State shall pay one-half of the expense of constructing such system of disposal and one-half of all necessary additions thereto and renewals thereof. Section 7 provides that .$250,000 shall be appropriated to carry out the pro visions of the act duriug the two fiscal years beginning .Tune 1, 1909. The above sum is considered hope lessly inadequate by council. It is be lieved, however, that the sum to be appropriated will be raised to a much higher figure before the bill is in troduced. Dauville is oue of those towns that have been directed by the State de partment of health to provide for the treatment of its sewage by some sys tem of sowage disposal. The proposed bill, therefore, appeals to our council very strongly, especially, in view of the fact that the amount to be appro priated may be raised higher. Borough Solicitor E. S. Gearliart was at the meeting aud presented a copy oi the act. He is much interested in the matter and strongly urged that action bo taken favoring the passage of the bill. The following resolution was duly enacted : BE IT AND IT IS HEREBY RE SOLVED by the town council of the said Borough of Danville that Houorable J. Ileury Cochran, Senator from this district, aud Honorable R. Scott Air.merman, representative from this district, respectively, be hereby respectfully requested to lend their in fluence to and support the said bill iu their respective branches of the said State Legislature, aud that certified copies <>f this Resolution be transmitt ed to the said Senator and Representa tive. The following members of council were present at the special meeting: Sctiatz, Olenver, Pursel, Everhart, Moyer, Russell, Marshall, Angle and Connolley. WOMEN'S \TOES. Danviile Women Are Finding Relief at Last. It does seem that women have more than a lair share of the aches and pains that afflict humanity: they must 'keep up," must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaches, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. Thev must walk and baud and work with racking pains and mauy aches frcui kidney ills Kidneys cause more suffering than any other organ of the body.

They say the coal has been mined too close , to the surface and believe a wholesale collapse of land may result. A *IO,OOO fire recently wiped out an entire square of buildings in Oen tralia. The mineral rights under the ; fire district belong to the company and contain a huge block of coal. Follow ing the fire the company offered lot j owners a price not to rebuild so that the fuel could be removed without fear that cave-ins would cause loss of life. Some owuers sold, while more rebuilt. The company started to mine the square, O'Donnell's lot being the first to collapse. O'Donnell nnlesß the company pays him what he oonslders a fair price for the lot will likely institute suit for j damages, as will more owners if their J lots are destroyed. The company's coal laud embraces most of the town's site ami the corporation Is busy taking j out all the coal it can from under it,a number of houses being partly damag ed as a result.

I STATE RECEIVES NEA.RLY_ONE-HA.LF It may be that, Montour lias relative ly a larger number of licensed houses than some of our neighboring coun ties, but it will have to be admitted that the recompense lies iu the sum total of liquor lioenses, a fixed propor tion of which acorues to the county. The licensed houses this year are onu lesß in number than laßt year. The hotel licenses amount to fti, 100.00; brewers' license, fl,:i00.00; wholesale liquor license, 1150.00. Tiie total amount, $7,850.00. The disposition of the lioense money is not well understood by the general public. Iu round numbers nearly one half of it goes to the State, which re oieves all the wholesale and the brew ers' license, besides fifty dollars of eacli borough's license ami twenty-five dollars of the township license. Of the hotel licenses the Stat" receives one-fourth. The remainder is divided among the county, the boroughs and townships, the former receiving one fifth and the two latter four-fifths. ~ The exact sums distributed are as follows: State, $1,144 35; Danville borough, $-3,850 00; Washingtonville borough. $228 00; Anthony township, $57.00; Derry township, $114.00; Lib erty township, $57.00; Valley town ship, $171.00; county, f56!>,25; county treasurer, $1159.50.

The crowd was large and enthusiastic and didn't hesitate to show its approv al of the many sensational plays. The evening opened with the Y. M. O. A.-High Sohool contest.

Ryan too, occasionally condescended to leave hiß anchorage in the southwest corner, long enough to toss in a few. Y. M. O. A. seemed somewhat dazed and didn't play in their best form.

Railroad company lias been set ting up trespass noticeß all along the canal. The warning :s very conspicu ous. appearing on a board three feet in length and fourteen inches wide supported by a heavy poßt planted on the bank of the canal. The notice reads as follows: "Private property of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad oompany. All persons are warned from trespassiug under the penalty provid ed by the law." The notices are posted along the canal not only in the borough bnt also above and below town. The motive of the canal company in erecting these notices at this time is not clear. Ontside of town, among the farmers, the move has caused some apprehension.as it is very difficult for a farmer, whose land is intersected by the old ditoh, to avoid trespassing in some form. It is generally surmised that the ob ject of the owners In posting the no tices on the canal is solely to prevent persons from using it aH a dumping ground, thereby contributing to the impure and offensive condition in the bottom, which has become the cause of so much complaint of late. It is quite certain if the canal com pany chooses to carry its warning into effect it can prevent further pollution of the canal by persons who have ob jectionable matter in one form or an other to dispose of.

REPORTING TRAINS BY TELEPHONE The telephone iusta'led iu the D. L. & W. station bete to supplant the tele graph has not yet gone fully into com mission. Iu a few days, however, it will be used exclusively in running 1 trains. 1 At the present the telephone is used only to report trains. The operator talks directly to Scranton. On the ar rival of every train lie calls np the I central office and designating the train 1 reports that it has arrived, later add " ing the time at which it departed. At present orders are still given ' trains by telegraph from the central * office. The operators in the station here say they are becoming accustom- I ed to the use of the telephone and 9 think that by the time it is put wholly ' into use they will like it very well. Not only at every station but at sid ings as well telephones have been in stalled. Thus a much better service has been given the system than when the telegraph was depended on. Then a train when between Danville aud Northumberland for instance, had no : means of communicatiou. Tbc incon j venience, not to say anxiety, will be | recalled that existed a few months age J when a passenger broke down at Cam eron and there was no way either at Danville or Northumberland of learn ing what had occurred. I Now at the siding nt Cameron, se i cure in a stout box. is a telephone, | which can be used in such emergenc ies. When trains take the siding the j conductor will report by 'phone direct jly to Scranton and in the same way II receive orders for leaving.
