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."

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

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. "

Not So Satisfactory.
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.

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

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:

ST. MICHAEL'S VS. EX-HIGH.
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

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.

LIKE DICK LAW
State officials from Governor Edwin
S. 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."

ESPERANTO GROUP
The meeting held in the office of
William V. 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.
ELY'S CREAM BALM has been
I ried and not found wanting in thou-1

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Oyer-Worft.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Eluod.
Weak and 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.
If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
taking the great kidney remedy. Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con
vince you of its great merit.
The mild and immediate effect of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest because its remarkable
health restoring properties have been
proven in thousands of the most distress
! ing cases. If you need a medicine you
' should have the best. «

In accordance with a well
established custom I, Edwin

Our people have reason to
acknowledge their dependence
upon Almighty God, and to
manifest their gratitude for
His infinite goodness and

ous in rich gifts and in all the
things which make life enjoy
able. We have been blessed
with peace and plenty, with
bountiful harvests, and with
increasing prosperity, with
freedom from plague,pestilence
and famine.
Discoveries in science are
j checking the ravages of dis
aese. Our churches, schools,
libraries and educational facil
ities have stimulated and pro
moted among us the things of
the mind and of the higher
life; and yet, amid all our
blessings and advantages, the
Lord has kept us mindful of
our dependence upon His om
nipotent power and of our con
stant need of His providential
care and protection.
Let us come together in our
| homes, churches and places of
worship and render unto God
grateful acknowledgement for
tlie manifold blessings He has
I bestowed upon us, and humbly
beseech the continuance of His
i divine favor. Let us rememb
er the poor and needy, the wid
ow and the fatherless, the sick
and the distressed. Out of our
abundance let lis assist t lie un
fortunate, remembering that
the greatest virtue is charity.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State at
the City of Ilarrisburg, ibiH
16th day of November, in the
: (Seal) year of our Lord one thou
sand nine hundred and nine,
and of the Commonwealth
the one hundred and thirty
fourth.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That
Contain Mercury.
i as mercury will surely destroy the
| sense of smell and completely derange
! the whole system when entering it
| through the mucous surfaces. Such
| articles should never be used except on
prescription from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do is'ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ,T. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, 0., contains uo mercury, and
■ is taken internally, acting directly up
lon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. Iu buying Hull's Catarrh
Cure be sure you get the genuine. It.
