Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
by local appl ioations, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only oue way to core deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Denfuesn is caused by an in
flamed condition of the muoous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfeut hearing, and when
it is entirely closed. Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
oan be taken out and this tube restor
ed to lis normal condition, hearing
will he destroyed forever; nine oases
out of ten are caused by Oatarrh, which
is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the muoous surfaces.

STATE MINSTRELS
SCORE A HIT
Oil Saturday evening a select audi
ence at the Dauville opera house was
treated to a real live college minstrel
eliow and to say that the effect was
pleading is putting it mildly. The per
formance was line, much better than
one would believe tbat amateurs could
do. Each number was heartily ap
plauded, especially by the numerous
young ladies in the audience, whose
charming appearance and absorbing
interest breathed a fervent "dee-light
ed" to eaoh pretty number.
The first part of the show was plan
ned In the good old fashioned minstrel
fashon, with the cirole in handsome
style suits and the four end men in
a terrible shade of green. Amoug the
latter was William L. McCoy, of this
city, wnose appearance was loudly ap
plauded. Mr. McCoy wan suffering
from a severe cold which greatly
handicapped his efforts. Nevertheless
his "Sleepy" song was one of the hits
of the eveuing.
Each number presented was most en
joyable. Tiie fine voica and pleasing

THE BIRD
WAS A BITTERN
A gentleman frotn Oooper township
Monday brought a bittern into town,
which is, iudoed, a very rare bird in
these parts audit proved quite a cur
iosity. Probably iu ail our population
there were not half a dozen who had
i ever seen a bittern
The bird was about the size of a lien
, with a long spear-like bill, yellowish
in color. The legs and feet were yel
low-greeu; the iris yellow. The length
of the bird was about twenty-six
inches —extent about forty-five inches.
The general color was brownish yel-
I low; the top of the head dull brewn.
The other part of the body was finely
i freckled and variegated with different
shades of brown : the chin aud throat
were white with browu streaks. The
gentleman who brought the bird to
town was walking on Lobach's farm.
I Sunday, when he was attacked by the
| bird, which charged upon after
| the fashion of a hen which wishes to
I protect a brood of chickens. He was
carrying a stick.with which he struck
the bird, temporarily stunning it so
that he was enabled to pick it up. The
j bird soou revived aud wheu seen in 1
Danville yesterday was quite lively
j and iu a verv belllgeraut mood,
j No one had ever seeu such a bird be
fore and there were mauy conjectures
! as to what family it belonged to. The
i strange bird was taken to the store of
j M. H. Schram, who speedily settled
! the controversy, by pronouncing the
| bird a bittern, or as it is sometimes
| called by sportsmen a "green-legged
I crane." The bittern is a wader aud
subsists ou frogs, lizards, small snakes
and fish, which it spears with its long
bill as it walks or wades stealthily
along.
The habitat of the bittern is temper
ate North America south to Guatemala
and the West Indies. It is occasionally
seen in Pennsylvania duriDg the sum
mer bat very rarely breeds in this
State. It is thought that the bittern
captured in Oooper township was
hatching or probably had a nest of
young nearby. The bittern is mostly
seen single or in pairs.

Sadden Death of Irvin Vooght.
Irvin Vonght, a well known farmer
of Mayberry township, was found dead
iu his residence Sunday morning.
The deceased was in Danville on
Saturday. When the family arose yes
terday morning he was found lying on
the kitchen floor. Death, which was
due to heart failnre, is supposed to
have occurred between four and five
o'olock.
The deceased is survived by hia wid
ow and eight children. He was aged
about fifty-two years.
There Will He Plenty Doing.
There will be plenty doing in Dan
ville during the second week in June.

vene and will no doubt ocoupy at least
half the week. On Bth, 9th and 10,

Spring primary will be held.
WALK OF BROKER
RANGE WORK
The oonorete walk laid around the
base of the soldiers' monument by the
borough was completed Saturday and
during yesterday was viewed by many
hundred people.
The pavement, whioh was laid un
der the supervision of P. J. Keefer, is
pronounoed a masterpiece. Mr. Keefer
does not conceal the fact that out of
regard for the soldiers' monument in
constructing the pavement he did the
very best he was capable of, scaring
neither time uor pains. The walk is
eight feet wide, of broken range work
and has no equal anywhere In the bor
ough.
RELOCATING WALK.
Ou Saturday ground was broken for I
the relocation of the walk leading in
from Bloom street opposite the monu
meut. To make room for the change
one of the young trees Saturday was
taken up aud transplanted. The walk
from the monument will be moved
downward same four feet at Bloom
street. To conform with this, inter, a
wide crossing will be laid, euabling
persons on the sidewalk on the south
-1 eru side of hloom street to cross the
roadway and enter the pur* dir ollv.
It is found that the Urge tree grow
| iug along the sidewalk which those
who opposed the measure were afraid
t wight interfere, is nor in the way at
< all.
Colond Arches Illuminated.
I Our council is to be commended for
; its public spirit and liberality in light-
I ing up tho vari-colored arches
j street eacli Saturday night. They are
very beutiful and prove au attraction
to our neighbors from Bloomsburg and
other towns who happen to drop into
town at the close of the week.
Incidentally the colored arches help
to advertise the unveiling of the**"sol
diers' monument and the Six-County
Firemen's convention, as it is well
I known that they are to enter into the
| system of decorations on each of those
j occasions.
More Revenue for Orphanage.
I Increased revenue for the Orphans'
home near Snnbury and the other
j similar Institutions in the State will
Jbe one of the principal subjects to be
i brought np when representatives of
J 1160 lodges of the Independent Order
| of Odd Fellows in this State will gath
j let at liarrishurg next Sunday, nt the
] sixty-eighth annual session of the
Grand lodge of Pennsylvania, for a
11 five days' business meeting.
It is expected that, including the
, j 1200 delegates,there will be 7500 mem
, j bets on hand.
p | Especially will the session be of im
, < portanc.e from a legislative point of
. | view, since the ten year time limit in
j which period tlie constitution could
not be changed, will expire next year,
and preliminary legislation in this
. direction will be started,
i An effort will be made on behalf of
. i the four homes of the order to bring
, j the members to a realization of ttie
( j needs of these insitutions It is un
derstood that an increase in the tax
t : levy will be suggested.
At present, the tax per member is
( | 25 cents per year, and this nets 935,000
| for the maiutaiuance of the several
homes. One proposition will call for
i a tax of 1 cent a week, which yvill
! yield abont 175,000 yearly.
Advertising Wagon in a Runaway.
The advertising wagon publicly an
nouncing the base ball game Saturday
morning figured In a spectacular lun
away,
The wagon was rigged np In the us
ual way, with lettered canvas. The
horse seemed very skittish and prauoed
abont in a lively manner. He gave the
yonng men in the wagon ail they
oonld do to hold him.
Abont 11 o'clock on one of the trips
down Mill street the horsa got beyond
control and ran galloping all the way
from the post offioe to a point near the
Danville National bank, where lie was
caught by Qeo. Foust.
Traflia was more or lesß congested on
Mill street at the time bnt the run
away horse performed the difficult feat :
of threading his way among the
vehicles without doing any harm

mm PASTOR
The congregation of ttie Trinity
Methodist ohurch tendered a reoep
tion to the new pastor, Rev. O. O.
Suavely, and family, Friday evening.
The lecture room was filled to over
flowing. For the oooaslon the room
had been tastefully deoorated with the
national oolors,the speakers' platform
being hidden by a bank of laarel aud
palms. Japanese lanterns, hang here
and there, made a most pleasing ap
pearauoe.
The affair was nnder the direction of
the Epworth League. An enjoyable
program, oonsisting of recitations, —
vocal and instrumental selections, had
been prepared. The applause whioh
greeted each number testified to the
appreciation of those present.

i worth League, and B. F. Kelly, rep- j
j resenting the congregation, delivered
; the addresses of welcome. Mr. Lovett, ,
1 taking as his subject, "The Influence j
!of the Pastor on the Coming Gougre- |
gtitiou," dwelt ou the fact that the j
\ young people represented by the Ep- ;
worth League, were in a position by
1 rtasuu of their youth to receive more
; and lasting benefit froui the work ot
the pastor than the older members of
the congregation Their minds and
: hearts are more susceptible to his in
fluence aud the welfare of the future
congregation depends largely ou the
effect of the pastor's words anil work
while among them, lie assured the
minister that at all times he would
I find the League ready to do its share
jof auy work tending to benefit the
j chntch.
Mr. Kelly in a few well chosen words
; welcomed Rev. Snavelv to his new
charge, assuring him of the hearty
feeling of love and respect that exists
|in the hearts of the members of the
| congregation. Rev. George S. Wcmer,
j of St. Paul's aud Kev. Samuel Fox of

dresses welcomed the new minister.
I Rev. Suavely in an appropriate ad
! dress expressed his appreciation of the

( John Ronndbley, died at the family
residence, Bloom street.at 1 ::Soo'clock,
Saturday afternoon,as the result of an
attack of typhoid fever complicated
with other diseases.

expected death has cast a gloom over
the part of town in which she resided.

and black pantaloons with cap aud i
belt.a combination which is again be
coming popular with tiremen.
The uniforms will bo completed and

Cost More to Wed.
[ Danville couples who are ooutempl
ating matrimony had better move with
alacrity, if they wish to save the In
cteaae in tho fee for their marriage
license.
Governor Stuart 011 Thursday signed
the Snyder bill raising the fee from
fifty cents to a dollar. It is likely,
however,that any man who is willing
to pay fifty cents for the privilege of
getting married will not object to pay
ing fifty cents more.
Attending Synod.
Rev. Lloyd W. Walter, pastor of the
Pine Street Lutheran church, and Jos
eph Divel, representing the congrega
tion, left yesterday for VVilliamsport
where they will attend the sessions of
the Susquehanna synod. The synod
convened last evening and will remain
in session until Sunday evening.
Grief is like the tnoruir.g dew—it
never lasts louc.
WORK PROVES
DEFECTIVE
A bad defeot has developed in the j
granolithic floor or pavement at the '
soldiers' monument, which it is fear- j
ed, will have to be replaoed with new
—a circumstance that may delay the
completion of work about the base for
some weeks.
The granolithic floor was the last
branch of work completed by the Van
Amrlnge Granite company. It was a
difficult pieoe of work and required
peouliar skill. First, over the entire
surfaoe—around the base of the shaft
and embraoed within the four flights
of granite steps—was placed a course
of concrete some four incheß deep.
Over this a top or smooth coat was
plaoed. At first the effect was all
right; the surfaoe was well finished—
of a light, grey and conformed with
! the other features of the memorial.
It iB now found, however, that the
top coat has cranked at several differ
| eut spots, a condition which shou'.d
i not exist in a first class job Those
j rauiiliar with concrete work are aw are
| of what follows as the result ol such a
| defect. The water soaks in through
j the small fissures and in time ruins
the eutire paving
! Experts who have viewed the work
I agree that there is but one thing to he
] done in such cases and that is to chisel
j out the whole pavement including the
j lower as well as the upper course of
j concrete. Just what is involved in this
| in the way of cost and loss of time is
well known to any person familiar
witli conctete work.
, Experts explain that cracking of the
j top coat of granolithio pavements is
caused by the failure to lay the top,or
smooth coat at the precise moment
j when it will adhere to the coarser
j layer of concrete and the whole pave
ment will unite in a cohesive mass. Iu
. the present case it ia believed that the
I laying of the top coarse was delayed a
little too long—until the lower coarse
| had become set and was too dry to
nn'te with the smooth coat.
The soldiers' monument committee
has notified the Vau Amringe Granite

the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in
the urine, head ache, back ache, latne
back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
J and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
|of being compelled togo often through
j the day, and to get up many times during
the night. The mild and immediate effect

I is soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable .toaufc. restoring
properties. A trial \> anyone.

LITTLE CHILD
; BADLY SCALDED
The two-year-old daughter of Mr.
and .Mrs. John Riffel, South Danville,
fell into a wash boiler partly filled
with hot water, Monday morning and
was badly scalded.
Mrs. Riffel was engaged In washing
while the child was playing about the
room. The woman lifted the boiler
from the stove, depositing it on the
floor. She stepped aside to do some
. thing else, but had no sooner turned
her back than she heard a scream and
turning around disoovered that the lit
tle tot had fallen headfirst into the
boiler.
To clntch the child and jerk it ont
of its scalding bath was only the work
of a moment, bat in the interval the
child was shockingly scalded.
Dr. Smith wrfs called, who did every
thing possible to relieve the suffering
'of the child, whose hands and arms
1 had been immersed in the boiling wat
er and were burned into blisters. The
child's face was also scalded, but that
part of the body had only partially
come in contact with tlie hot water
and was not so badly injured a? the
hands and arms.
At last accounts the child was rest
ing cumparitively well. There are
fair prospects of its recovery.
