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. Keep
the kidneys well and health is easily
maintained. Read of a remedy for
kidneys only that helps and cures the
kidneys and iB endorsed by people in
this locality.
Mrs V. Llovd, 4:il South Front
street, Milton, Pa, says:"l can re
commend Doan'B Kidney Pills just as
highly at this time as when I gave a
public statement in their favor some
years ago. They cured me of backache
and kidney trouble aud 1 have used
them once or twice since for pains in
my back, finding prompt relief. I
have recommended Doau's Kidney
Pills to many acquaintances and they
all speak of them in the highest

Oentralia Fears Big Cave-In.
The residents of Oentralia are enrag
ed at the Lehigh Coal company, blarn
| ing it for a big cave-iu Friday on
lands owned by John O'Donnell. 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.

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

treasurer, $1159.50.
"Altogether in Montour county there
are thirty-eight liceuses. Included in
the number are twenty-seven hotel li
censes.

Spectators at the armory on Satur
day night were treated to two of the
fasteßt and hardest played games of
the serieß in City basket ball league.
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. The teams
seemed evenly matched and gave pro
mise of a red hot game. For a °time
they polled evenly, neither side scor
ing. Then Daily for High Sohool be
gan to do some stnnts with the ball
' that succeeded in mystifying Y. M.
O. A. to each an extent that the score
had gone op eight or ten points before
they came to. 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. They carried the ball
I successfully but failed to .score. The
\ half ended with the score 84-7 in lav
j or of Danville High School,
j In the second half the Y. M. O. A
! boya gut together and plainly ootplay
|ed their opponents. Kase made some
j pretty basbetß from field while Win
| oer seemed able to toss 'em in from
j anywhere. A couple of unerring long
] shoots by Pcntz also helped boost the
I score.
J Dailey and Edmcndson for High
Sohool threw a number of difficult
baskets while Price at forward, put
up an excellent game. The game end
ed 49-29 in High School's favor.

scored the only basket in the first haif.
Pritchard did some good work on foul

provement carrying the ball nicely
and holding their opponents down to
two goals, running their own score up

especially good on floor work and are

■ i that they have not had such a heavy
! and choice stock of ice on hand for
. many years. Thus far there have been
only a couple of periods, in which de
1 airable ice could be harvested to auy
1 advvautage and that a good crop has

February 14 is St. Valentine's Day
and the store windows bear full evid
ence of that act. That the day this
, year falls ou Sunday will have but
little effect ou the customs of the oo
■ casion is a foregone conclusion. The
sending of remembrances has increas
> | ed remarkably with the development of
. the oard craze and the treasury of the
I postal department is greatly benefited
! with a corresponding depletion of the
physical endurauce and good temper of
the army of postal employes. While
most of the cards are in the shapo of
cordial greetingß we still find the old
comic ones ou the market. It would be
highly desira le if it were possible to
eliminate the funny ones for they fre
quently cause great meutal distress
and worry where only fun and good
hnmor is intended, but at the same
time they also serve the purpose of
permitting one to see himself as cth
-1 era sea liiui.

NO TRESPASSING
ON THE CANAL
During the last few dajs the D. L.
& W. 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.

set all doubt at rest. Do as he says. He knows.

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. Heretofore,
, when trains were on the siding at
' | Cameron orders could be received only
" | through other trains.

Thieves in Rectory.
When Rev. G. W. Barnfs. lately ap
pointed r etiir of St. Paul's Episcopal

arrived at bis new charge on Sunday

A SEASONABLE
CHANGE OF \N EAThER
The change of weather will be ap
predated. The humid atmosphere of
several days past pioved quite out of
place considering the season. The con
dition of the streets was such as to
1 make either walking or driving very
unpleasant.
The snow has nearly all disappeared
I and tho town, with all its garbage
' , dumps aud ash heaps exposed,presents
a very unsightly appearauco. Unless
1 extraordinary 1 precautions are taken to
' keep the back yards and alleys clean
and presentable at this season any
town is apt to present a forbidding ap
-1 pea ranee.
' j It may be a little too early to enter
I upon a general cleaning up but a good
deal can be done by housekeepers at
any seasou to keep things tidied up,
fixing up fenceß and removing ash and
I garbage piles before they become too
large.
KITTY WILL
II ARRIVE SATURDAY
J A play that causes managers of the
[ j atres to ask for early return dates mus
' | have something of more than passing
| interest to commend it. but that has
. been the record "The Arrival of
i Kitty" has attained. The piece is
from the pen of Norman Lee Swartout
a clever writer of comedy, and is pro
duced by C. S. Williams,a well known
theatrical manager. In every city in
which "The Arrival of Kitty" has
been seen thus far this season, the
' managers of the various theatres have
requested that an early return date be
giveu them. "It is the best comedy
we have played in years" is the univ
ersal comment. Mauager Edmondson
of the Danville opera house has secur
ed this splendid production for n re
turn engagement here Saturday after
noon and evening.
