SCHOOLS OPEN
ON SODTI SIDE
The schools of Gearliart township and
Riverside borough composing the new
ly formed joint school district on
the south side opened Tuesday under
the most auspicious conditions. Ow
ing to the opposition arrayed against
the joint high school it was feared
that it might prove difficult to enroll
the required number of pupils. It was
ascertained that among the non-resid
ent pupils attending the Danville high
school there were twenty-five from the
south side, and persons familiar with
statistics in Gearliart. township and
Riverside borough gave it as their op
inion that when the joint high school
opened six or eight students would be
the maximum number eligible that re
mained 011 that side of the river.
The opening of the schools,however,
has settled ail controversy. 111 the
joint high school there are seventeen
pupils enrolled,while the school board
feels confident that others eligible will
join the classes later.
The consolidation of the two dis
tricts made a reorganization of the
schools of both the township and thei
borough necessary. South Danville
and Riverside each retains its own
primary school; one grammar school,
however, suffices for both districts and
is installed in the borough school
building. The portion of the South
Danville building, formerly used as
the grammar school is occupied by the
joint high school. The one department
that comes anywhere near being over
crowded under the consolidation is the
grammar school, taught by Miss Sur
ver, in which Tuesday there were
forty-six pupils enrolled.
Thomas B. Shannon,the high school
teacher 011 the south side, was Tues
day morning elected supervising prin
cipal of the schools of Gearhartjtown
ship and Riverside borough by the
school boards of the two districts. He
is a gentleman of wide experience in
school work. He was principal of the
schools of California, Washington
county, last year. At earlier dates he
taught at Centralia and was supervis
ing principal of the schools at Mack
intyre, Lycoming county, at the latter
place having twenty-one schools in his
charge. He has always taken an active
part in Y. M. C. A. and other relig
ious work. He is also fond of athletics
and has always aided to promote
healthy exercise and sport.

Roup, of Liberty township. Isaiah
Roup,son of the deceased, lias present
ed a petition for citation and in re
sponse the court has made a decree.
In his last will and testament Lafa
yette Roup disposed of his worldly
goods as follows:
Five hundred dollars from bis estate
was to be retained by his executor.
Of this sum the executor was directed
to give one dollar to Isaiah Roup, son
of the decedent. The executor was to
defray the funeral expenses and pay
for a tablet. The remainder of the live
hundred dollars is to be placed at
interest, the income thereof to be used
in keeping the grave in good condi
tion.
After the death of the executor the
amount of money remaining is to be
the property of Zoa Savidge.
To his wife, Johanna Roup, the de
cedent gives the use, income, control
and management of the remainder of
the estate, real, personal and mixed for
and during the time of her natural
life,or so long as she remains the wid
ow of the decedent. After the death
or remarriage of the said wife the will
directs that the executor shall sell at
public sali- all real estate or personal
property, if any then remain, and lie
shall give from the proceeds of such

executor of the will.
Isaiah Roup, sou of the testator, has
appealed to the Orphans' court from

ground that the decedent was incom
petent to make the last will and testa
ment and that undue influence was
used and the said Lafayette Roup,was
persuaded by Johanna Roup, the wife
of the said decedent, to make the will.
The petitioner prayed that a citation
be issued, directed to said Gessie P.
Savidge and others to show cause why
said appeal from the decision of the
register of wills in admitting the said
instrument to probate as the last will
and testament of Lafayette Roup, de
ceased, should not be sustained and
why an issue devisavit vel 11011 should
not be awarded.

BURMA CIGARETTES.
One Will Last a Smoker, or Maybe an
Entire Family, a Day.
The American engineer home for a
visit from Burma accepted a proffered
cigarette and rolled It gently between
his fingers.
"At the risk of seeming ungrateful,"
he said, "I rise to remark that the
specimen you have so kindly tendered
ine strikes my acquired sense of the
fitness of such things as highly inade
quate. Merely as to size, 1 mean.
"The cigarette of Burma is a re
markable contrivance, ranging in
length from a foot to a foot and a
half, an inch in diameter and not un
like a giant firecracker in general
shape. If composed wholly of tobacco
it would be deadly. As a matter of
fact, it contains very little tobacco.
It Is made of cornhusk or leaves of
Innocuous plants rolled tight and with
shreds of the divine weed between the
layers. One will last a smoker for a
day, frequently an entire family for a
day.
"The, women of Burma, the most
handsome and intelligent of their sex
In the east, smoke these cigarettes ha
bitually. It is somethiid of a shock
when the visitor first sees a pretty
woman puffing at oue of these enor
mous cylinders. It is still more of a
shock if she is carrying a youngster
astride her hip in approved native
fashion. Between puffs she offers lier
cigarette to the child, who never re
fuses the invitation.
"As to effect, the Burmese cigarettes
lire practically harmless. As to flavor,
they are insipid and unpleasant."—New

DOGS DAMAGE
THE NEW PARK
DORS running at large are causing a
great deal of damage in Memorial park
and because of this fact the owners of
the same are likely to get into trouble.
At its last meeting a report was pre
sented to council by the committee on
public property and public improve
ments, which showed that dogs are
playing havoc in the park, running
over and digging up the flower beds
and proving a nuisance in other ways.
It was decided to enforce the law,
which holds the owners of dogs re
sponsible for damage done by the lat
ter. To comply with the requirements
of the act notices will be posted pro
hibiting dogs from entering the park
unless led by their masters. Dogs run
ning at large will be captured, if possi
ble. If this can not be accomplished
the owners will be ascertained and
made to pay a fine.
As an additional attraction the com
mittee contemplates stocking Memori
al park with squirrels, such as are
found in tlie capitol ground at Harris
! burg. The plan is to install boxes in
the big tree in the park as well as in
the trees that grow oil Bloom street
I along the park. These trees it is be
lieved, will afford ample shelter for
the squirrels, which become very tame
in the course of a few years. The
younger trees are growing rapidly and
before the squirrels increase in num
bers to any considerable extent there
will be plenty of shelter in the park.
Many people delude themselves by
saying. "It will wear away." when
they notice symptoms of kidney and
bladder trouble. This is a mistake.
Take Foley's Kidney Remedy, and
stop the drain on the vitality. It
cures backache, rheumatism, kidney
and bladder trouble, and makes every

Miles, whose death was noted some
time ago in the columns of this paper.
Grand Chancellor Watkins says:
'' A serious loss to our Order in Penn
sylvania was the death of Brother
George W. Miles, a faithful member
of Beaver Lodge, No. 183, and a mem
ber of the Grand Tribunal of Pennsyl
vania.
It was my pleasure ami privilege to
have known Brother Miles for many
years, and I always found him the
same. His- name was connected quite
conspicuously with the growth of his
home town, Danville, for he waS al
ways associated with those who had
an eye single to its welfare and pro
gress. He was a man of sterling in
tegrity, uprightness of character and
probity of conduct, and by'the deep
| damnation of his taking off,' the Bor
ough of Danville loses an honest and
useful citizen, Pythians a valuable
member, and his family a loving and

forever still, his labors and sorrows
1 are over, but the memory of his good

THE SEEDING TIME
At many places the farmers are pre

weeks ago put the ground in good con
dition for ploughing and farmers, wit-1
the exception of those who were bad.
with their work, were enabled to pro
ceed at once with the preparation oi
t'ae ground. Those who were not »bli
to begin ploughing are having a hare
tinit! of it. The effect of the drought ii
as marked as ever and it is only lien
and there now that ploughing can bt
done with any success. A farmer from
Cooper township yesterday stated that
there is still a great ileal of wheal
ground to be ploughed there and thai
he feared unless it rains very soon a

ITALIANS HAVE i
ANOTHER FIRE,
For the third time within a few .
months the Italians employed on the
sewage disposal plant at the hospital
for the insane on Saturday lost their
home by fire.
After July 3rd, when the building
at the Tear of Mill street belonging to
It. W. Eggert in which they were
domiciled was burned, the Italians
built a rude dwelling in the field near
the Lutheran cemetery, above town, •
where they lived until Saturday.
How the fire originated Saturday no
one seems to know. The building was
destroyed about 5:30 o'clock in the
afternoon. As soon as it became known
an alarm was sounded by the Washing
ton and the Friendship fire companies, i
both of which started for the fire. It
was soon learned where the blaze was j
located, which was at a spot too re
mote from the plugs to make the file
department of any service. The Friend
ship company went no farther than the
Cottage drug store. The Washies pro
ceeded as far as Wall street.
The three fires which bnrned out the
Italian workmen following each other j
at short intervals might suggest that
they are pursued by enemies, presum-1
ably those opposed to foreign labor. '
This view, however, is hardly tenable !
in view of the fact, that, with the ex
ception of the first fire,which occurred
at night, the buildings burned in the
day time when the Italians were on
j the premises or at least near by.

than a fair shnare of the aches and pains
| that afflict humanity; they must " keep
up," must attend to duties in spite of
| constantly aching backs, or hetulaches,
| dizzy spells, bearing—down pais*: they
must stoop ov'i-r, when to stoop, means
torture. They must walk anil beud and
work with rweking pains ami many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Head ofja
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys and is endorsed by
people in this locality.
Mrs. Y. Lloyd, 431 South Front St.,
Milton, Pa., says:"l can rseonuuend
Doan's Kidiuy Pills just as higlilyfat
this time an when 1 gave a public
statement in. their favor some years
ago. They cured me of backache and
kidney trouble and I have used them
onwe or twice since for pains in my I
back, tindiag prompt relief. I have re
commended Doan's Kidney Pills to

of them in the highest terms-"

New Use of Compressed Air.
The auxetophone Is a device invent
. Ed by Charles I'arsons, by means of :
i Which compressed air can be utilized
| to strengthen the tone of any lnstru
| nient to which It Is attached. When
j applied to the cello the vnlve is con
j nected by a rod of aluminium to the
j instrument. The compressed nlr pass
ing through the valve Is caused to
| vibrate, thus producing a sound char
| acterlstlc of the Instrument. The
sound issuing from the trumpet, though
In many respects identical with that
of the Instrument itself, is at the same
time much richer In tone and greatly ;
augmented in volume.
Curious.
If a man Is bettered his condition Is j
Improved; If he Is "bested" he Is really |
"worsted."
It May Be Pneumonia
"A hard chill, pain through the chest, difficult breathing.
Then fever, with great prostration." If this should
be your experience, send for your doctor. You may
have pneumonia! If your doctor cannot come at once,
give Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. When he comes, tell him
exactly what you have done. Then do as he says.
No alcohol in this COUgh medicine. /.C. Aver Co. , Lowell,Mass.
Keep the bowels in good condition. One of Ayer's Pills at bedtime will cause
an increased flow of bile, and produce a gentle laxative effect the day following.
Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
Weak ami unhealthy kidneys are re
sponsible for much sickness and suffering,
P therefore, if kidney
trouble is permitted to
continue, serious re
sults are most likely
to follow. Your other
organs may need at
tention, but your kid
neys most, because
they do most and
should have attention
first. Therefore, when
your kidneys are weak or out of order,
you can understand how quickly your en
tire body is affected and how every organ
seems to fail to do its duty.

An Epitaph.
In the churchyard of Leigh, near
Bolton, will be found a tombstone
bearing the following amazing sen
tence: "A virtuous woman is ss. to her
husband." The explanation seems to
be that space prevented "a crown"
being cut in full, and the stonemason
argued that a crown equals 5 shillings.
