Tin public utterances of Danville residents ou the following subject will interest and benefit thou sands of our readers. Read this state ment. No better proof can be had. Mrs. William Robenolt, 304 Church St., Danville, PH., says: "l do not think there is a kidney remedy on the market equal to Doan's Kidney Pills. I suffered a great deal from kidney complaint and headache and whenever I brought any strain ou the muscles of my loins, such as is done when stoop ing or lifting,sharp pains would catch •ue through my loins.

CLOSED AND FUMIGATED A case of scarlet fever luis broken out in a fumliy, owe of tin? children of which i.i !i pupil in the Danville high school. As a result of the occurrence the second story of the first ward building embracing the several depart ments of the high school had to be closed and fumigated Tuesday. The family in which the new case occurred lives outside the borough. The child that contracted the disease, it is said, was a pupil in the second ward school before the latter was closed by the board of health. As soon as the facts of the case be came known Tuesday morning the high school was dismissed and the fumigation of all the rooms on the second story began. A case of diphhteria developed in the first ward Monday morning. Aside from the fact that the infected area is growing in "xtent there is nothing especially new as relates tocommunic nble, diseases. The special watchman pai ruling the streets of the second ward 011 which placarded houses occur seems to have but little difficulty in keeping the children of infected fami lies 011 the piemises, the effect of his presence in most, instances being suffi cient to compel an obedience of the rules and regulations of the board of health.

JAIL DELIVERY AT BLOOM Bloomsburg was the scone of a "jail delivery" Saturday in which one of the prisoners that escaped was Joseph Kelly of Ihis city. Kelly then com pleted his remarkable escapade by sur rendering himself to Sheriff Knt at the Bloomsburg jail yesterday afternoon, after being at large a little more than twenty-four hours. Kelly, it will be recalled,along with John James, was arrested on October Ist charged with the larceny of a cel lar furnace. Kelly, who has not yet hail liis trial, along with another pris oner, who was serving time for non payment of costs, on Saturday morn ing were put to work cleaning out the corridor in the Bloomsburg jail. For convenience the warden left one of the gates or doors open; the other gate, it appears, was also open al though the person in charge thought it was closed. The situation was well understood by the two prisoners, who bided their time and when the guards were all absent they quietly walked out. They were soon missed, but the es caped prisoner made good use of the interval and succeeded in getting away. THEN GAVE HIMSELF UP Sunday afternoon Kelly gave lulu s' If up to Sheriff Knt at the Blooms | burg jail. He claims to have been in Danville since his escape. Sunday he landed in Bloomsburg on board the it o'clock Danville & Bloomsburg trol ley, alight ing at Railroad street, and making his way to the jail by int're quented streets. He said he didn't want any officer to get the glory for his arrest —that ho was practically certain of being recaptured and thought it would far better with him if he surrendered. The other man is still at large. His foolishness in making a break for lib erty is understood when it is known that he was being held for the pay ment of a fine and would have been released in a few days under the in solvency act. A Religious Author's Statement. lie v. Joseph H. Fespernmn, Salis bury, N.

STRUCK MILK WAGON By a margin of several inches Charles Appleman, the Valley township dairy j man who serves milk over a route in i Danville,escaped death yesterday when i the wag3n ho was driving was struck !by a Reading pusher on the crossing ' at Mansdale. Appleman was returning home after i having covered his route shortly after I noon. As he approached the crossing I ho noticed a pusher taking water at j the tank just east of the crossing, but as the locomotive was headed toward Danville, he judged it would go in that direction. Instead the engine started running backward just in time to strike the wagon as it got upon the tracks. The tender hit the wagon a few inches back of the middle entirely de molishing the vehicle and cutting the horses loose. The wagon, smashed like an egg shell, was thrown to one side, and a few minutes later Mr. Appleman crawled from the wrecked top, badly bruised aud cut, but not seriously in jured. The horses were caught beyond Mausdale. Hail the locomotivo struck the wagon a few inohes further front Mr. Apple man's chances of escaping with his life would liavo been exceedingly slim. SOLD GROCERY BUSINESS Roland and Leon Moyer, two well known young men of this city, have purchased Phillip' grocery business on Mill street.

CONDUCTOR'S PAINFUL INJURY C. N. Childs, conductor on the D. IJ. & W. switch engine, just before noon Saturday, met with a very pain ful accident, which for awhile threat ened to result seriously. The switcher crew was engaged in shifting cars a short distance above the station. They were employing the usual method of shifting when the engine is on one track and the car to be moved is on the other; namely, by the use of a "pushing stick." Mr. Childs, Saturday, was holding the stout pole, or "pushing stick" in position, between a socket on the end of the engine and the side of the freight car. As the engine was start ed and force was applied the stick in stead of pushing the car ahead broke in two, one end striking in the abdo men, the conductor, who was "hug ging" tlie heavy pole close to his body. The breath was completely knocked out of the man; the effect, of the shock, too, was such as to produce a state of collapse and Mr. Childs fell over and lay apparently lifeless, lie was quick ly placed on board the switcher and taken down to the station, where Dr. Paules was summoned. Tlif doctor applied restoratives ami after tlm man revived somewhat ad ministered a sedative to ease the pain, which was most excruciating. The doctor failed to discover any internal injury or any broken hones. It win late in the afternoon before the man so far recovered as to be able to leave the station. Milton's Good Fortune. Five hundred 10,500 gallon capacity tank cars have been ordered by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Pe rail road from the Milton branch of the American Car and Foundry company.

Information* was lodged by Mr. Brown, the warrants being served by Officer Voris. The boys ranged in age from four teen to sixteen years. Each pleaded guilty to the charge and did not seem to think that he had done anything very reprehensible, as if was Hallowe 'en when according to the idea of the boys everything went. The boys were obliged to reimburse Mr. Brown for his door, which will have to be replaced with a new one. Together with costs the bill that each boy had to pay amounted to 77.

PAINTING TRUNKS OF FUJI TREES A physician, who is interested in | fruit culture, wrote to Professor H. I A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harris burg, in reference to painting trees with white leail ami linseed oil, as a protection against borers, as follows: In the Reading Eagle I saw a report of your demonstration given at the poor house grounds at Shillington, showing the advantage of painting trunks of trees with white lead and raw linseed oil for borers. We have done this, but since heard that some Shillington fruit growers lost a great number of trees by this method. I write to you, asking as to the advant age of this treatment, and :f there is ! danger of smothering the trees by I painting them." The answer of State Zoologist Sur- I face follows: " Replying to your letter of recent j date, I beg to say that I am deeply in- j ternsted in your statement, that you '• have heard that the Shillington fruit j growers lost a number of trees by! painting th 111 with white lead anil i linseed oil. 1 must acknowledge that j this is news to me, as I have not been i inforniett concerning such loss. However, I do know that ten.-; of: thousands of trees have been painted | with this material in this State with- j out injury to them. Of course, you j understand that 1 r> commend painting | only apple, pear and quince trees, as there is no advantage in painting' peach trees,and the last named is more j delicate than the others. Neverthe less, two years ago I painted my young peach trees, and this year took my most abundant and best crop of peaches from the trees that had been painted. I can not. believe that painting has hurt the trees to which you refer, un less "boiled" oil or impure material were used. I should like to be inform ed as to just what persons lost their trees by painting them; how many they lost, and under what conditions. I should then like to trace up this in formation and see what material was used, and where it was procured, really think there is no danger when raw oil and pure lead are used. I have seen tens of thousands of trees painted in Adams county by the extensive fruit growers of that county without any danger to any of the trees. They are continuing it after four or five years of successful practice. "The advantage of painting the trunks of apple, pear and quince trees is, that the borers are kept out during the summer time, and the rabbits and mice are not nearly so liable to gnaw them in the winter. I think there is no advantage in painting peach trees and plum trees (unless it be for rab bits and mice), and, therefore, do not recommend it."

PHONE TO AID TRAINMEN The Reading Railway company is introducing the telephone service at all passing sidings on the Catawissa division between East Mahanoy Junc tion and West Milton. The number of miles of track to be covered is t>7 and there will be 18 tele phone sations, located at East Mahanoy Junction, Lofty,Girard, Brandouville, Krebs, Ringtown, Ferndale, Beaver, Valley, McAuley, Mainville, Cata wissa, Rupert, Grovania, Danville, Mansdale, Mooresbnrg, Dougal and West Milton. It is not the purpose to do away with the telegraph in the running of trains but to nso the tele phones as an accessory. It will enable the trainmen who is not a telegraph operator and who may I be miles away from a telegraph office I to get into instant communication ! with the train dispatchers and, in many instances, save valuable time. j It will enable train crews to know just where the train they are laying out for is and often times will enable it to get a right of way which it could not get for hours if it had to get word j by a telegraph office first. This system is now in operation j throughout the yards and on the basin i branch where telephone boxes have j been installed and the train crews, by , using them, save much time in getting j a right of way and making the neces sary movements.
