GIRL ACCIDENTALLY
KILLS HERSELF
Groat excitement was created in the
vii-iuity of McEwecsville Monday
moruiug when pretty sixteen-year-old
Mary Goss was fouud dead about !!
o'olock at the home of Valentine
. Truckeumiller a short distance from
McEwensyille. Theories of mnrder and
suicide were rife uutil the oorouer'a
jury after a session of evidence taking
returned a verdict of accident.
FORMER RESIDENT
OF BELLEFONTE.
Mrs Goss and her daughter were
former residents of Beilefonte. About
a year ago the mother was engaged by
Mr. Trnckeumiller to take charge of
his home as housekepeer and her
daughter came with her Since that
time both have made their homes
there. The girl's life was apparently a
happy one. She arose at an early hour
this morning, as was her custom, and
busied herself about the various house
hold duties which fell to her lot.
Shortly before 9 o'clock she went up
stairs and a few minutes later the
sound of a revolver shot was heard.
Mi rubers of the family who hasten
ed upstairs at the sound of the shot
were horrified to see the irl lyiug
dead ou tlie floor in the bedroom of
Mr. Truckenmiller's sou ami with the
latter's revolver clutched iu her hand.
She had evidently goue Into the room,
which was unoccupied at the time,
and took the revolver from s stand on
which it was kept. The bullet had
passed through tier heart and death
was instantaneous.
MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Danville JPeopie Learn the
Importance of It ?
Backache is only a simple thing at
first ;
Hut when you know 'tis from tin*
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Bright's disease may
be the fatal end.
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
'Tis the statement of'a Danville
citizen.
Leo Metzger, 21>4 W. Mahoning St..
Danville, Pa., says: ' About a year
ago I suffered so severely from pains
through mv back that I was scarcely
able to walk and it was difficult for
me to straighten when first arising in
the morning. At times there was a
dull J]lain across my kidneys while
at others sharp, shooting twinges
I would pass through my back, being
♦•specially severe if I took cold. The
kidney secretions were attended with
a scalding sensation and were far too
frequent in passage. I read so much
about Doan's Kidney Pills that I fin
ally had mv wife procure a box for
me at Hunt's drug store. I had only
used about half the contents when a
great change for file- better was not
iceable. From that day to this I have
had no trouble from uiy back or kid
neys. despite (lie fact that I have
(lone a great^leal ut' hcavv work. My
confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills is
unlimited.

bly injured as the result of an attempt
ti board A freight ou the Philadelphia
and Heading road at Williamsport on
.Tnly 12th, ra'urued to his houae on
O3ope r street, ou Saturday.
Au aceonut of the accident was
printed in this paper at tlie time of its
occurrence. Mr. Dawson, after several
months' idleness, left for Pittsburg in
search of work. Disappointed in his
ijuest he was returning to Dauville
when iu attempting to jump a freight
iu the Wllliamsport yards lie was
thrown nntier the wheels and his left
arm aud leg cut off Since that time,
about ten weeks ago. Mr Dawsou
has been in the Citv Hospital at Wlll
iamsport where lie was taken direotly
after the accident.
From the first Mr. Dawson began
to improve. With one exception he
had not been sick a day in his life,
aud his strong constitution carried
him through. The arm is off just
above the wrist, while the leg is off
above the knee. The stamps are al
ready healed over nicely and Mr. Daw
son is able to make his way about
with the aid of crutches. It is his in
tention to procure an artificial leg In

saying. "It will wear away." when
they notice symptoms of kidney and
bladder trouble. This is a mistake.

MEDICAL ASSOCIA
TION IN SESSION
The regular bi-monthly meeting of
ti.e Moutoui Conuty Medical associa
tion was held at the State hospital
Friday afternoon. The meeting con
vened at Bp. m. with the following
members present: Meredith, Robbtns,
ICrickbaum, Nebinger, Newbaber,Pat
t-n, Stock and Shultz.
Dr. Nebinger, of the hospital, was
elected delegate to the State medical
society which meets hi Philadelphia
on Septembei 27 Drs. Stock and Pat
tan were elected as alternates.
Dr. George A. Stock read a very in
teresting paper on Tuberculosis pay
ing particular attention to tiie rela
tions existing between patient and
physician The paper iu part was as
follows:
"It has been stated that the post
mortem table has never perhaps given
any more decided proof of the cure of
a disease than it gives iu cases of pul
monary tuberculosis. Out of five hun
dred autopsies at Professor Ribberts'
institute in Surich, wherein he found
over ninety-five per cent, tubercular,
mauv of whom were cured. No single
element in the care, neither air, uor
tood, uor hydrotherapy, urr medicine,
affords auy guarantee of success; it is
only the satisfaction of ail the phy
siological and hygienic demands of the
orgauiem.from the greatest to the least
significant, that can bring about this
lesult, It is of paramount importance
that both physician and patient should
not for a moment lose sight of this
fact. The nature of consumption Is
such that we can hardly expect an im
provement iu a few days or eveu
weeks. Success depends on unceasing
patience and the ability to minimize
the import of temporary discourage
ment There is hardly a disease iu
which tlie personality of physician and
patieut is so important a factor as in
pulmonary tuberculosis. Sympathy on
the part of the physician aud implicit
obedience on the part of the paitent
are necessary. The latter, by virtue
of his disease has little energy aud
needs the strong support of the phy
sician. Frivolity must be met with
severity; dispondency by encourage
ment; ingorance by everlasting in
struction aud patieuce
With it all the co-operatiou of tlie
patient is necessary. To atTeot this the
patient should know the exact nature
of the disease, should be made to real
ize that his life is at stake. The black
est page of medical history is covered
with such diagnosis as "catarrh,"
"bronchitis", "rundown constitu
tion," "overworked," etc. The poor
deluded victim finally knocks at the
door of the conscieuiiocs physician
aud the undertaker answers. "Truth
i 9 mighty aud will prevail." To tell
a man that he lias tuberculosis is not.
as formerly considered, equal to pro
nouncing a death sentence
The fight for life may strike terrors
at first, but once engaged, this uotiou
will give way to one of exultatiou and
a belief in ultimate victory."

The Story of a Medicine.
Its name —"Golden Medical Discovery"
was suggested by one of its most import
am and valuable ingredients Golden
Sen I root.
Nearly forty year* ago. Dr. Pierce dl*
eovi'ivd that lie could, by tho use of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aidod by a car- |
tain d'gree of constantly maintained
l.'Mt and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that, purpose, ei
traet from our most valuable native me
dicinal roots their curative properties I
much lietter than by tho use of alcohol, !
so generally employed. So the now world
f.med "Golden Medical Discovery," for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and I
lundred derangements was first made, as
it ever sinie has b«en, without a particls
of alcohol in its malJe-up.

RECEIVED PANAMA
CANAL MEDAL
! H. R. Olark, of the south side, son
j of Pennsylvania Statiou Agent W. R.
I Olark, who up uutil a short time ago
was employed on the Panama canal,
| has received from the government at
j Washington a medal for service on the
isthmus. The medal is giveu to all
| who served two years iu the govern
! ment sarvice in the caual belt. With
| Mr. Clark s medal there is also a bar
that is given lor every two years extra
seivfce. It was in Juue, 1904, that
Olark weut to the isthmus. He return
ed in March of the preseut year, serv
ing in all about five years. Had tie
j put iu another year he wouli have
j been entitled to another bar.
j The medal was provided for by au
j net of Congress in 1908, as a ditect re
| suit of the efforts of ex-I'resident
i Roosevelt, who desired to see au hon
!or couferred on the government men
who had assisted in the construction
i of the canal.
The modal is of beautiful design
about the size of a silver half dollar
'lt contains in re.'.ief the likeness of
Roosevelt The ex-presideut is witb
i out hi i ever-present glasses that hsve
i become a part of liitu in the public
eye. and for this reason, the likeness
|ar first glauee is uufamiliar. Euci'ol
lug the likeness appear the words
, " For Two Years' Continuous Service
on the Panama Caual." Directly he
aeath the bust is the name of the re
cipient, H. R. Clark
Ou tiie reverse side is a sccue iu re
lief, of a portion of t.he waterway as
iit will appear when completed, with
ships passing through a deep cut Snr
roundiug are the words "Presented by
; the President of the United States."
Beneath is Mr. Clark's xinmber, 61,
aud bis first two years, 1004-06. On the
| extra bar is the number, 36, and the
! two extra yoars of service, litro-08.
From the above it will be seen that
• Mr. Clark's number on tiie roll had
| changed from sixiy-four to thirty-six
[ iu two years,showing that in that time
twenty-eight of the original eugineers
had quit the service.
The name of the designer, V D.

The medals were struok at the Phil
adelphia mint and are made of a com
position of metals, having tiie appear
a nee of bronze. They are of especial
vr.lne to the fortunate holders, in that
they are made from the metal of the
machinery, found ou tiie isthmus, left

COMPLAIN THAT FISH
ARE NOT BITING
In » talk with Frank Boas, the vet
er.iu tbhermau of this city yesterday,
Mr. Kens expressed the opinion that
there ire at the present time more and
larger fish in tbe Suequehauoa at this
point than there has been at any pre
vious time iu his experience. Theriv
er, tie 'aid, was just teeming with
tneui, oass, pickerel,salmon, carp aud
what. 1 ot. He also stated that to his
k now I- dge never were fewer fish being
caught than now. The big fellows and
some are moiiHtrous,don't seem to take
iu ai> kind of bait, they pass it by
uiiuoticed or else give it a stingy smell
an.l «a im away. From a fisherman's
stan j) lint nothing is more discourag
ing.
1 Last week one night Mr Ross went
I .lowa the river to the vicinity of
j Oliulas'jey equipped with every choice
liait 11 at fish iu ordinary times have
j uten nown to take. Among them were
i orals ;atfish, lamprey eels aud large
| ohoii ■ worms. He baited two hundred
am) sixty hooks distributed on three
mender outlines and placed them in
rein jr. The result was a grand total
; of flvi- insignificant eels worth about
i ns< 11 >-Ave cents. Iu other seasons,
Mr. Hess said, he wan rewarded for
spcli a night's fishing, by at least two
or tinea dollars worth of fish.
1 Nor loes Mr. Ross stand aloue iu
i.'.j contention. Every fisherman lias a
similar complaint to make. Compara
tively few catches have been made.
1 The largest salmou taken from the riv
-1 er so fur this season was caught by
| Ou'ar I'.eilly,aud weighed nine pounds.
; George Ross landed the largest bass.
It weighed foor pouuds and five
| ounces.
Wiiilrt fish in any numbers and al
| most t,uy size are to ba seen from the
riv»r bridge daily, at other points both
up an>i down stream, Mr. Ross states,
i there are many more. A carp which
may be seen almost any time between
the first; aud second piers from the
Danville side, weighs in the neighbor-
I hood (if twenty pounds.
Among the few good catches that
; have titen made is that of William
Ateu w ho succeeded in landing a string
lof five 'ialmon, two bass aud a yellow
pernh, ill of which were of good size.
The nly explanation Mr. Ross can
offer rtt the determined refusal of the
fish to bite, is that there is so much
loos" fi od .loafing that the fish do not
t:i t I n gry. There are thirty-six coal
dii/ifi iu operation at the present
tin e between this citv and Namticoke.
Tli* ration of the dredgers stir up
t!>e wi«er and as a result a large
'lie e t of loose food is kept in mo
tiOll

tue .titer grows colder,the fish will
begin to bite.

TUBE WORKS WINS
SECOND GAME
The Tabers have the pennant cinch
ed. Try as they would the stricken,
struggling Stovers could not overcome
the lead the pipemen secured in the
sixth aud thußly stands the score, 14—
10.
Talk abont a Susquehanna leagne
game—it isu't in it. Never was there
snoh a crowd, enthusiasm ran wild;
everybody yelled something all the
time somewhere and the draft was too
great, the stovers fires went out.
About six hundred friends of the
players watched the game. The man
agement is some hundred dimes shy
but what's the odds.
At the last minnte Stove Works rang
in a professional pitcher, Haring, of
Washington, D. O. Washington stands '
at the tail end, however, and anyway
it would have made little difference j
Saturday if they had gone to Detroit '
for material. In all the combats the j
Tubers have engaged in,never did they |
play as they did on Saturday. It has
been heard from good authority that
if they had loet they would have pro- j
tested the game.
Those Stovemen complain that in <
practice, their opponents had several
more minutes than they—hence the re
sult. Anyway it was a great game.
Baker and Jones putting ail fears aside
bravely essayed to do the umpiring,
aud they did it satisfactory, be gosh !
Owens and Price were in the points
; for the Tube Works. Haring aud
j Burns tossed the ball to and fro for
i the Stovers. Llariug who hails from
j the treasury department at Washing- j
| ton, threw a crooked ball tha£ got so
on the nerves of those Tubers that
j sometimes they couldn't hit it. Kach
i side got two in the first. In the sec
: ond Stove Works got two more, the ;
Tubers succeeding In pushing through !
but one. In the third neither side
scored. Tube Works got two in the
fourth and one in the fifth, their op- 1
1 poneuts tailing to score. In the sixth !
; things happened. .Tones, for the Tube
| Works, stepped into the game and
I promptly clouted out a rlproarer to
right field. This started a batting
rally and six Tubemen turned tallies
' In less than no time.
: Stove Works got one in their half,
! two in the seventh and the final three
In the eighth.
The Tubers, worn out by their base
I running in the sixth, failed to score
until the ninth, when two ruus gave
them a total of fourteen and the game
was their's by four points.
The real feature of the game was
the orrors. They were oveDlv divided
as far as conld bp learned. The scorer
had hut one small pencil and in order
to make it last through the game he
cut out the marking of errors after
the first inning.
Some more features were the hand
ling of the stick by Jones for Tube
Works and the short stop playing of
Murphy for Stove Works. Arohie Hum
mer, the Tubers' center tielder, made
a thrilling catch in the fifth while
Snyder on second for the Stove Works
made a regular Hess stop in the seven
! th. Last but not least we mention
Houghendoubler, or .something like
that. His specialty is stealiug bases
The way he circled the bases remind
ed one of a well oiled aeroplane, act
ing badly. He sometimes got within
1 ten feet of second only to be nailed.
He is positive that the second bag is
farther from first than first is from
second and is prepared to prove it.
j There were a number of other brilli
ant plays hut why mention them.
This is the second game the Tubers
| have woo out of two The Stovemen
ask for a third trial. A prominent
■ Tuber is said to have remarked that
j the Stovemen are outclassed, but it is
■ believedjthat the rivals will get togeth
er soon in the third and final game.
In the two games played the gate
| receipts amounted to sixty-seven dol
lars, which the contesting teams have
turned over to the Danville Athletic
} association.
