WOMEN'S WOES.
Danville Women Are Finding
Relief at Last.
It does seem that women have moro
than a fair share of the aches aud paius
that afflict humanity; they must
"keep up," must attend to duties iu
spite of constantly aching backs, or
Ireadaches, dizzy spalls, bearing down
pains; they must, stoop over, when to
stoop means torture. They must walk
and beud aud work with racking paius
and many aches from kidney ills. Kid
neys cause more sufferiug than auy
other orgnu of the body. Keep the
kidneys well and health iseasily main
tained. Read of a remedy for kir'nevs
only that helps and cures the kidneys
and is endorsed I y people in this local
ity.

Doan's 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
kiduey trouble aud I have used them
once or twice since for pains in my
back, finding prompt relief. I have re

Flushing the Canal Bottom.
But one beneficial effect of the ex
cessive raius has been noted thus far
and tl'.at is the partial cleansing of the
canal bottom During the week past a
constant stream cf water a foot or
more in depth has flowed down
through the eauil,carrying off a great
deal of impurity. The bad odors that
arose iu the vicinity of the canal cul
vert ou Mill street are scarcely noticed
at present.
As soon as the rain ceases, former
conditions will of course return. Mean
while it is to be regretted tliat some
thing can not be done to abate the
nuisance.

LARGE GLASS
WAS CONFIRMED
The Rt. Rev. J. W. Shauahan, bis
liap of the diocese of Harrisburg.umde
a visitation to St. .Joseph's parish,
this city, Sunday. On tiie occasion
lie administered the sacrameut of con
firmation to a class of eigthy-seveu.
The official visit of a bishop is made
every three years. The last visitation
was made on May 13th, 1906, oo which
occasion a large class was confirmed.
In addition to administering the
sacrament of confirmation ou these
official visits the bishop investigates
all departments closelv, inquiring in
t'* the spiritual cond'tion of the parish
as well as into its temporal affairs. He
very carefully goes over the books -
the baptismal, death, census and oth
er records, including the day book
and ledger.
Suuday the bi3hop preached at
the early and late mass. The latter
sermon delivered at m., was a
i formal one on the " Virtue of Faith. "
The address was most instructive. The
virtue of faith, the bishop said, is the
most necessary of all virtues. It is a
gift of God. Faith is the acceptance
of truth of Divine revelation,the word
of God. We do not acquire faith by
reason or knowledge, t aith is the ac
ceptance of supernatural truths on the
word of God. St. Paul s«ys: "With
out faith it is impossible to please
God. 'J
The sacrament of confirmation was
administered at 4p. m. Preceding
aud after the sacrament the bishop
spoke very beautifully to the little
children, first explaining the sacra
ment of confirmation aud afterward
telling them of the great gift that God
had that day given them. The Holy
I Ghost with His seven-fold blessing had
uiescended into their hearts and it
was theirs to take and preserve the
| fruits of this sacrament. He also gave
: the parents advice adninishing them
!to labor zealously to edify their ohil
| dern and lead them in the right way.
Oeafness Cannot Be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, aud that is by constitutional

iit is entirely closed, Deafness is the
! result, and unless the iuflamniatiou
jean be taken out ami this tube restor

will be destroyed fore*or; nine cases
I out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which

Body Found at Selinsgrove.
| Entangled in the bushes along the
shore of the Susquehanna river the
body of a foreigner was discovered at
Selinsgrove yesterday morning. The
gruesome discovery was made by Peter
Muselman.of Selinsgrove. at 7 o'clock,
as he was poling a flat over the river.
He saw in the bash near the barn of
Jacob Mitterling a floating object
which he thought was a log. The riv
ler is high and the bushes ordinarily
on shore were well under water, so
I that only their brandies protruded.
| Mr. Musseluian procured assistance
and took the body to Bhore. It was
carried to the undertaking establish
ment of George Liviugstou, where it
is now held. A coroner's jury was
empanelled to determine the cause of
death.
The man was a middle aged aud
heavy set foreigner. He was without
a coat, but in his pockets was a gold
watch and a ten cent piece. A button
on his olothes showed that the suit
was made in Lewisburg. He had a
gold ring ou his finger.
There is little doubt but that the
man is John Bulock, a Pole who leap
ed into the swollen waters of the West
' Branch at Milton. April l(i. He acted
! with deliberation, taking off his coat
and hat before making the fatal
plunge. The river was dragged for
his body but it bad evidently floated
down stream as it could not be found.
The man originally came from Dau
ville where his brother lives. He had
saved up a large sum of itouey from
his earnings, which was stolen from
Ills shack at Milton He became mel
ancholy and while partially under the
influence of liquor leaped into the riv
er.

HIGHWAY ON
SUNBURY STREET
Now that the season has arrived
when road construction may be safely
entered upon residents of the south I
side are anxious to learn something
abont the status of the mile or so of
State highway on Sunbury street, for
whioh a survey was made last sum
mer.
The geueral impression at that time
was that the construction cf the road
with State aid was assured,the survey
being tiie last step In the procedure
short of the actual beginning of work.
However up to the present nothing
has been heard of the road proposi
tion It was stated at the south side
yesterday that inquiries would be sent
iu to the State highway department.
UMBRELLA MAN
A SNEAK THIEF
Duriug the last two or throe weeks
our town has been overrun with "um
brella menders". That this ragged aud
shiftless fraternity embraces iu its
ranks the boldest class of sneak thieves
was demonstrated Saturday, when one
au umbrella men in daylight entered
the premises of Robert J. Pegg ou
Bloom street aud stole anew umbrella
from the porch.
A member of the household caught
a glimpse of the thief aud would have
been able to identify him had he been
caught. Mr. Pegg immediately notifi
ed the police, giving some description
of the man.
Two men were arrested on suspicion
aud placed in the locknp. Neither of
the fellows was identified as the thief
and they were both finally discharged.
They took their arrest philosophically,
quite as a matter of course, leaving
one to infer that they were used to
such episodes.
That a large proportion of these um
brella menders are rank villains in
disguise no oue can doubt who will
take the pains to size them up. Never
theless. as under the law they are giv
en the b3uefit of all doubts, there
j seems to be no power to exclude them
from town and they will probably con
tinue to come as often and remain as
long as they desire.
Iu seJf protection our citizens should
tutu a cold shoulder ou the itinerary
umbrella menders, remembering that
I Danville has in its midst well deserv
ing peoplo who make a specialty of
j such work as the '' umbrella men" per
| form.

NEMESIS OF MAIL
ORDER BUSINESS |
To no other branch of liis business
does the town merchant give less at
tention than to his advertising, while,
as a matter of (act, no other part ot
his business requires more attention,
says the Anti Mail Order Jonrual.
The people who read the local coun
try papers read theui more thoroughly
than those who read the metropolitan
papers. They read the adverisement of
John Smitliers, dealer in dry goods,
furniture, etc. But that is not all.
It is dull reading B "d makes no im
pression upon the mind of the reader.
There is nothing new or sensational,
not a thrill or emotion, in a hundred
pages of it, so it is passed by almost
unnoticed. The reader may want souie
thing in the dry goods or furnitnte
line, but there is nothing iu the cold,
unweloome sort of general invitation
ad. to make him feel that John Smith-
J er& really is the man lie wants to buy
j from.
i In nnother paper or magazine lie
I reads Henry Jones' advertisement. It
lis carefully studied, well worded,
j plain, too. but it states that Henry
[ Joues is making a specialty of a oet
! tain line of dry goods or furniture;
I that he is offering an especial bargain
liu certain lines. The price is given.
|lt is attractive. The ad. is an invita
j tion to call or write. It is filled with
j a warmth of feeling, sounds genuine
! and appeals to the reader. Henry
I Jones gets the reader's trade.
| Too many town merchant* look upon
| their local newspaper advertising as a
| sort of tribute they ate obliged to give
the local editor and not as an invest-
I uietit made for profit, and the copy
i tliey furnish for such advurtisnmeut
I generally bears out this proposition.
| No greater error was ever made by
i them. Properly written, with force,
spirit and interest in every line of his
advertisement, the villaga merchant
will find his business can be largely
; increased and the mailorder monopoly
| most woefully afiected.
Nothing, iu fact, will conduce so
i effectively toward putting an end to
I the mail order evil as the publication
of good, attractive advertisements iu
| the local or home papers.
Wo cannot too strongly nrge upon
all merchants who wish to do a good
business,who wish to destroy the mail
order monopoly aud who sincerely de
fire to improve their hotna to*.vus the
importance of making their advertise
incut readable, interesting and attrac-
I tive.

after being incarcerated for a short
time he WHS removed to the jail at
! Sunbury.
Fisher's case was taken to the sup
reme court, but the lower court was
' sustained. Accordingly sentence was
passed Monday afternoon.
Fisher was commanded by Judge
[ Savidge to arise and he complied in a
stoical, unemotional manner. The court
j asked him if ho had auytlung to say
why sentence should not be passed up
on him. He replied that he had notli
| iug to say bayond the fact that he
" was not guilty. "
Judge Savidge informed liim that lie
had received a fair trial and that a
jury of twelve men had adjudged him
guilty of murder in the first degree.
Then indue and legal form Judge
Savidge pronounced the seuteace of
. death. The silence was intense ana the
i words of the judge could be heard in
every part of the court room as he in
' formed Fisher that he was to be
i "hanged by the neck until be was
dead."
