JAMES WAS ft GENEROUS IN Si lice the death of Howard Junes, the Anthony township huckster, who died lust week leaving two wives and two families, many things have come to tile notice of tin- public aliont this remarkable man which before were not generally known. There are few people outside of a little community ill the upper end of Montour county who know that tho Evangelical church,on the county line road between Exchange and Turbot villo is really a lasting monument to Howard James' generosity and relig ious zeal. The church was built on his farm on land which he gave. He was responsible for the Evangelical ministers going to that section and later was the heaviest contributor to ward the erection of the church. Later when a split came in the Evan gelical church he bought the church outright and gave it to the faction in whose control it now is. The church has always been known as James' urcli. HELPED THE DESTITUTE A story is told of the generosity of the man by a friend who fought with Mr. James in the war of the rebellion. While buying produce one day he espied two pretty children on his route. They smiled at him so sweetly and were dressed so cleanly that he inquir ed whose children they were. Mr. James was told that their father had been injured in the mines and was at the hospital and that tho mother was in almost destitute circumstances. This story touched the large hearted man and for months afterwards lie kept the mother and children with the necessities of life. However, he did this generous act in such a manner that the afflicted family could not learn the identity of the philanthrop ist. HAPPY RESULTS Have Made Many Danville Residents Enthusiastic. No wonder scores of Danville citiz ens grow enthusiastic. It is enough to make anyone happy to liutl relief after years of suffering. Public statements like the following are but truthful rep resentations of the daily work done in Danville by Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. C'has. I). Whispell, 127 Mahon ing St., Danville, Pa., says: "My ex perience with Doan's Kidney Pills justifies me in recommending them. I had pains through the small of my back and kidneys and at times my back was so painful that 1 could hard ly straighten. I was unable, to rest comfortably and in the morning when 1 arose, 1 was scarcely able to get about. A dull, languid feeling sapped all my energy and I felt miserable. Doan's Kidney Pills were iiuallv re commended to me so highly that 1 pro cured a box at Hunt's drug store. They relieved the pains in niv back, in a short time and after using one box, my strength and energy returned." For sale by all dealers. Price aO cents.

CULVERT COMPLETED The big concrete culvert bcingghuilt by the Pennsylvania railroad company tit South Danville is about completed. The concrete work is finished and yes terday the hands were employed in loading lumber and equipment on the cars projiaratory to leaving. In a day's time the workmen will be off the ground and nothing will remain to be done but to fill up the roadbed from the top of the box culvert to the track which work will be done by the gravel train. The culvert has been under way for nearly thiee months and constitutes one of the finest anil most ponderous pieces of concrete work in this sec tion. In connection with the culvert, at the north end, a concrete reservoir has been constructed by the railroad company, which will be used by the proprietor of the planing mill. The waterway under the railroad is nearly large enough to admit a two horse team. An enormous quantity of earth was excavated to provide space for the cnlveit, which now lies in an enorm ous bank north of tho track nearly concealing tho pnmphouse. A Religious Author's Statement. Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salis burv, N. 0., who is the author of sev eral books, writes: "For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly strick en with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days un able to get up without assistance. My urine contained a thick white sedi mentand I passed same frequently day and night. I commenced taking Fo ley's Kidney Remedy, and the pain gradually abated and finally ceased and my urine became normal. I cheer fully recommend Foley's Kidney Rem edy. " Sold by Paulos& Co. Pharmacy. II PROFITS II ORCHARDS As many owners of land are thinkng of planting fruit trees this fall, tho following taken from the correspond ence of Professor H. A. Surface, of the department of agriculture, Harris burg, State zoologist, will be read by them with interest. A professional man of Chamhersburg wrote for information concerning the planting of an orchard, and among other things contained in his letter was the following: "My soil is specially adapted to the poach, but apples also do very wi 11 anil have the advantage of a longer season of harvesting. My professional duties render it almost impossible for me to take the time to handle anil care for a peach orchard and crop as it should be done, and I do not. want to plant a [ single tree that I feel I shall not have time to give some personal attention. i In other words, I would rather have | five hundred apple trees well cared for than five thousand neglected." Tho professor's reply was as fol lows : "I acknowledge your letter of recent date, concerning your orchard plant ing,anil can say that it will be a good plan to plant your apple trees 38 or lit i'e i apart, and also plant peach trees half way between them as fillers. Your peach crop will more than pay for the cost of planting, and aftei get ting about three fruit crops from these trees you]will be entirely independent on that score,and will have one or two of tho crops as entirely clear gain. Then you can well afford to cut out the peach trees, and the apple trees will come into profitable bearing and . be really improved in every respect by having received the treatment that peach and apple trees need while they 1 are young. lam confident that you , will get more profit from an acre plant ed in peach than from two acres in ! apple trees,although I must admit that if not given good attention the peach will uot endure nearly as long as tho apple; but even the apple trees will not be profitable ill this State if negl ected. Wo must count with certainty on their getting San Jose scale sooner 1 or later, and thus the only thing to do ; is to be prepared for an extensive war 1 fare to control this pest. "lagree with you that it is much better to have a small orchard, well cared for than a ! larger one neglected. As to whether - you grow apples or peaches, or both, I will depend upon your own inclination in the matter, but your only trouble ' as to snccesful fruit growing will be the care of the orchard, with the inly ing of special attention to tho suppres- ! sion of pests. It'you need help in this ; direction, we shall be glad to give it. " Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure ! any case of kidney or bladder trouble i that is not beyouil the reach of medic- j inc. Cures backache and irregularities i that if neglected might result in Blight's disease or diabetes. Sold by Panics & Co. Pharmacy. Surprise Party.

The report comes from Sunbury that tests made oil the local division of the Pennsylvania railroad as to the effici ency of train dispatching by telephone shows that it is impossible to run trains as speedily with the telephone i as with the telegraph and therefore the telegraphic service will be retained to bo used in conjunction with the phones. Rival for "Hungry" Sam. Joshua Bender claims to bo the champion buckwheat cake and sausage eater of the Orange Mountain section of New Jersey He sat down to break fast Sat unlay and ate (iO good sized cakes and two pounds of sausage. He washed the meal down with six big cups of coffee. "If I'd been real hungry I don't know what I could have done," said Bender, "but I was out late last night."

Twenty-three foreigners are in the Washington county jail on the charge of rioting. They were captured in two bunches. At Meadowlands, where one raid was made, the officers found the foreigners in a pitched fight between two factions. Fourteen prisoners were taken. Tho other fight was in Wash ington. Some of the prisoners are suf fering from wounds. The police are looking for others alleged to have been implicated in the frays. • It is just being realized that the Trans-Siberian railroad was a ]>oor job from an engineering standpoint. TWO FAST GAMES il CITY LEAGUE Standing of Clubs. W. L. P. C. Company F 1 0 1.000 St. Michael's 1 0 1.000 Tube Works 0 1 .000 Ex-High 0 1 .000 High School 0 0 .000 Regals .. ..0 0 . 000 The city league basket ball season opened at the armory Saturday even ing evening when two games were played before a fair sized audience. In the first game Company F cleaned up the Tube Works team by a score of 42 to 18, and in tho second bout St. Mich ael's took their old rivals Ex-High in to camp in a whirlwind, 28 to 18 game. The fine quality of basket ball play ed Saturday evening demonstrates that the city legaue intends giving Dan ville the real article this winter. Both games were fast, and interesting, esp ecially the second which was as snap py a contest as has ever been seen on the local floor. FIRST GAME. The big soldier boys of Company bail the Tubers handicapped as to weight, but working under this disadvantage the pipe mill lads gave their oppon ents a hard battle. The veteran Barry who is remembered in former basket ball seasons in Danville, is on the Company F line-up this season and will prove a tower of strength if his performance of Saturday evening is any ciiterion. He played forward and eight of the soldiers' goals were to his credit, seven in the first half. Snyder played a first class game at guard. Lovett played a line game for the Tubers, throwing eight goals anil two from fouls. Weaver put tip a good game at center. Tho score: COMPANY F TUBE WORKS Barry forward . .

The game between St. Michael's anil Ex-High furnished the fastest playing j of the evening, and had t be, grails been able to ]>nt their regular line-up on the floor it is doubtful if St. Mich- J aid's could have gotten away with them. Dailey and Winner were the only two Ex-liigh players who showed up! ready for the fray, the others being de tained by work. In order not to dis appoint the spectators Captain Dailey! secured the consent of Managi r Truin or of St. Michael's to use Snyder, Lovett and Aninierman, each of whom had just played forty minutes in ti e j tirst game. Hiekey and Dailey were the stars of the game, the former coming up with five goals for St. Michael's and the latter put up an aggressive game at forward for Ex-High. At the end of the first half the score was 8 to 8 in St. Michael's favor. The i final score was 2S to is. The score: i ST. MICHAEL'S EX-HIGH! Mickey forward . .. Dailey W.

Next Saturday evening High School will play the Regals and Company F will play St. Michael's. THE DEER HUNTERS ■ No tidings have as yet been receiv ed from any of our deer hunters who left Saturday to indicate that they are meeting with success. One of our townsman, ail experienc ed hunter, who a little later will take a trip to the White Deer Mountains, yesterday explained that without a tracking snow it is almost impossible to meet with success. With the army j of hunters in the field one would think a good many deer ought to be shot re gardless of conditions. But very few people, the gentlemen explains, have an adequate idea of what the deer hunter, who tramps over the moun tains, is really up against. He is oblig ed to crawl through a growth of bush er and underbrush, often as high as his head, which uot only makes his progress slow and laborious, but also conceal the doer or enables it to make its escape, if observed. The doer are sagacious and crafty beyond what most people imagine possible and even, if there is a tracking snow,their instinct enable them in many instances to out wit tho hunter. Pentecostal Mission. Tho meetings in the new mission in the Emmanuel Baptist church is well attended. Last night thirty-eight of the Bloomsburg friends came to the mission in a body. Thursday night Rev. H. G. Trumbauer, of Blooms burg. a son of the leader in charge, will preach. So far over forty people have professed conversion, in the last two weeks. The meetings will be con tinued every night at 7:80. «LISI FDR JANUARY TERM Jury Commissioners Auten amlKerns have completed drawing jurors of the January term of court.

Stuart to Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart to members of the senate and house have been fairly deluged with protests and letters of inquiry over possible changes to be made in the National Guard of Pennsylvania by the operation of the Diek militia law, designed to make the State guard more like the regular army in organ ization. As a matter of fact none of the State officials yet know what will be done. In .speaking about the matter Gov ernor Stuart said: "We can make no statement now because we have not taken up the matter. Candidly we have not yet full information as to what the national government wants 011 some points. This, however, will be forthcoming soon. " National Guard headquarters have been visited by rep resentatives of almost every organiza tion in the guard lately, the officers being desirous of knowing their fate in event of reorganization. Adjutant General Thomas J. Stewart in speak ing of the matter yesterday said: "Un fortunately we can give 110 informa tion yet. It will take some weeks to work our the plan, and until then any tiling about it is guesswork." No Case on Record.

Oglesby, Esq., Friday night looking to the organization of an Esperanto group in Danville was attended by ten persons. Considerable euthusias'm was manifested and the success of the project seems assured. It was decided to organize a local group under the Esperanto association of North America. The dues were fix ed at seventy-five cents per year cover ing the membership in the local group, the Pennsylvania Esperanto associa tion and the Esperanto association of North America. It was decided to hold the applica tion for charter open for a few days to give those who were not present and who may wish to join an opportunity to become charter members. WILD TURKEYS Some one has recalled that none of our hunters this year were able to bag a wild turkey, which were said to be fairly plentiful at the opening of the season. Montour ridge is a favorite breeding place for wild turkeys and 110 one can recall a season when Councilman John Marshall or some other expert ma.ks man of our town did not succeed in getting at least one of the delectable birds. It is humiliating that not a single wild turkey came to Danville this year especially as ten were shot on the opening day of the season in the vicinity of Moutandon. Earl Paxton, of Steelton, who ac cidentally shot and killed Victor Her chilroth, while out hunting, is almost nsane from grief. Andrew Marchek, of MoKees Rocks, dropped dead at a Polish dance while he was enjoying the fun with all the fervor of his race. WILL ESTABLISH MODEL ORCHARDS It is iirportaut to tlio readers of this | paper to know that the division of zoology of the Pennsylvania depart ment of agriculture contemplates est ablishing a number of model orchards iu this State (there will be about five in each county), the object being to direct, in each fruit growing district, the care of an orchard in an up-to date manner, to show the public how to obtain the best results, especially in pest control. Fruit growers or farmers who will co-operate in this movement, by per mitting their orchards to be used for the purpose, should write at once to Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Ilarrisburg, Pa., for Information on the subject. | It is not proposed to take an old and j ; totally neglected orchard and bring j j about a complete transformation, but j to take under supervision one that is I in fair condition, and assist the owner I with expert advice and attention in [ j regard to all matters pertaining to the | 1 management ol' the orchard and the j suppression of pests. It is believed that the value of the' | example of one successful man iu a j j neighborhood is beyond computation. J ; Should the methods in his orchard ! j prove to bo the best, us shown bv in- j j disputable returns of larger yields and i | better products, it invariably results | in other persons adopting the methods | which have proved most successful in j i that locality. The owner of the orchard adopted ; | by the division of zoology will be ask- | ed to provide himself with a coinpar | atively inexpensive spraying outfit, | which the division will help him pur . chase at the lowest discount price. ' The division of zoology will outline a 1 I plan for his orchard management, and I furnish, with out charge,all materials used for instruction and demonstration purposes, and also aid him in spray ing, pruning, thinning of fruit, plant- I ing trees, cultivation,fertilization and ! j such other practical work as may be j necessary to secure the best results, j The public will be invited to visit the orchard at least three times in each j ! year, and witness demonstrations of j spraying, pruning, planting, etc., and! no orchard will be accepted without a distinct understanding in that respect. Here is an unusual opportunity for ob i taintng expert aid iu orchard manage- j 1 mcnt, .>f which no enterprising farmer should fail to avail himself.
