DANVILLE WINS
GREAT ME
THE Clover Club, Bloomsburg's
rattling basket ball aggrega
tiou, wliioli lias been claiming the
championship of this section, went
down to defeat before the Danville
team at the armory Saturday night in
a fast and furious contest. The game
was witnessed by a large crowd.
From the time the referee Tfllew his
whistle to start the play until the
game ended with the score at 34 to 28
in favor of Danville, there was some
thing doing every minute. *
Danville took a small lead after five
strenuous minutes on a goal from a
foul and soon afterward added two
more points by a field goal. This lead
the locals maintained at the close of
the lhst half.
In the second half the Clover Club,
with defeat staring them in the face,
went into the game with every energy
keyed to win. Several times by clever
team work they managed to tie the
score, but Danville every time would
come back with the points needed to
regain the lead.
The playing throughout the game
was of the heartrending kind that had
the spectators on their feet all the
while,and at times became so fast and
intense that some roughness crept in,
of which both sides were equally
guilty.
Every member of the local five play
ed a fine game. The floor work of
>Gaptain Dailey, the guarding of Sny
der and tho goal shooting of Ryan in
the second half, were the individual
features. For Bloomsburg Welliver
and Hagenbuch divided the honors.
The Clover Club has played thus far
this season eleven games and this is
their second defeat, the other being at
ihe hand:; of Shamokin in a game on
New Year's at the latter place.

NATURE TELLS YOU
As Many a Danville Reader Knows Too
Well.
When the kidneys are sick,
Nature tolls you all about it.
The urine is nature's calendar.
Infrequent or too freqenent action;
Anv urinary trouble tells of kidney
ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney
ills.
People in this vicinity testify to
this.
William Spatts, 8T Lincoln St., Mil
ton, Pa., says: "Mv kidneys were dis
ordered for a long time and my back
was very lame and weak. Any move
ment, bringing a strain on the mus
cles of my back, was very painful and
a weakness of the kidneys clung to me
compelling me to arise at night. The
kidney secretions were attended with
a scalding sensation in passage and
there was so frqeuent a desire to void
them at night that I could scarcely
get any rest at all. My general health
was affected and I felt miserable when
I was advised to try Doan's Kidney
Pills. I used them according to di
rections and they soofi removed the
lameness and pain, regulated the kid
ney secretion and improved my gen
eral health. I appreciate the merits of
Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them at every opportunity,"

LEAGUE MEETING
A BUSY ONE
The managers of the Susquehauna
league of baso ball clubs held their first
meeting of the year at the Hotel Mor
ton, Berwick. Sunday afternoon, \
and during the busy sessiou action was j
taken on a number of important mat
ters relating to the season of 1910.
Danville was represented at the I
meeting by Manager Simon K. lIofT- I
man and W. G. Pursel, vice president i
of the Danville Athletic association, j
All of the other towns in tho league |
last season were represented as fol- J
lows: Bloomsburg, Hagenbuch; Ber- |
wick, Savage; Nanticoke, Job; Alden, j
Turner; Shickshinuy, Colley; Nesco-j
peck, Splain; Benton, Long.
On motion of Hoffman, of Danville,
seconded by Colley, of Shickshinuy,
William L. McCollom, of Wilkes- j
Barre, was reelected president of the
Susquehanna league for 1910.
On motion of Colley,of Shickshinuy,
action was taken allowing each team
to sign 18 players. This is 3 uioro than
clubs wore allowed to have on their J
rolls last season. I
It was also decided that all players
who were under contract with any
Susqneahnua league club last season
are reserved to that club for next, sea- '
son. This will prevent any manager
from signing a player who was under
contract with another Susquehanna
league club last season, unless the
consent of that club's manager is first
gained.
On motion of Colley,of Shickshinuy,
the league was put on a t>s and 35 per
cent basis—os per cent of the gate
receipts to the home team and 35 per
cent to the visiting team—with a S3O
guarantee. Last season visiting clubs
were paid $25 for all league games.
This change made it necessary to
adopt a uniform admission fee ami up
on motion of Hoffman, of Danville,
and admission to all league games was
fixed at 25 cents aud 10 cents for chil
dren.
On motion of Hagenbuch,of Blooms
burg, it was ordered that umpires be
paid $5.00 for one game and $7.50 for
a double header.
On motion of Colley,of Shickshinuy,
the season will start on May 7th and
continue to September 10th, which
starts the games about the same time
as last year,aud ends three weeks earli
er.
The president appointed a schedule
committee to include beside himself,
Job, of Nanticoke; Hoffman, of Dan
ville and Splain, of Nescopcck.
The matter of playing two games a ,
week was brought before the meeting
and was advocated by Danville and
Nanticoke. Action was deferred nntil
next meeting. The proposition was re
ceived with not much warmth by the
smaller towns in the league.
On motion of Job, of Nanticoke,
passes that are issued to newspapers by
managers will be accepted at any
grounds in the league,aiul that no oth
er passes will be issued. In this con
nection it was decided that all passes
used during a league game will be
paid for by the homo team.
Mr. Hagenbuch,representing Blooms
burg, stated to the meeting that the
Recreation club,of Bloomsburg, would
not put a ball team in the field next
season, but that it was the intention
to endeavor to organize a stock com
pany iu that town and asked for a j
franchise. The franchise was granted.
The meeting adjourned to meet again
on March 20th.

DIED FROM
| HER INJURY
| Miss Emma C. Turner, who was
■ shockingly burned Friday night as the
[result of oil igniting that escaped from
1 a lamp she was holding, died as the
J result of her injuries Saturday morn
! iug a few minutes after she had been
[ removed to the Joseph Ratti hospital
! at Bloomsburg.

J body, at many places the flesh being
I charred. It was decided to remove her

I near Church street. On a cot the wo

I Turner did not seem to suffer very
| much, although she was perfectly con
scious and conversed with her physi
cian and others. Arriving at Blooms
burg, however, her suffering became
intense. On her way from the station ;
Ito the hospital she remarked to her i
brother that she did not think she
could stand it much longer. These ]
were the last words sho spoke. Ten !
minutes after she hadbecu lifted from
the cot onto the hospital bed—at 8:15 I
I o'clock—she suddenly expired.
Miss Turner was -is years of age.
She was a kind hearted, generous wo- j
man and was much respected. Follow- ■
iug the death of her mother, which '
occurred a year ago last August, she '

sad. Her brother, William G. Turner, !
of this city, is the only survivor.

undertakers, Saturday and was taken j
to the resilience of William G. Turn- |
; er, brother of the deceased, West Mali- !

PHONE OPERATOR
CHUMMED
While Miss Mary Kuukle, 16 years
old, iind her brother William, 10 years,
wore alouo in the United Telephone
and Telegraph office at Shamokiu early
Saturday morning where Miss liuiiklo
is night operator, a strange man en
tered.
The boy was asleep on a conch. The
intruder ran to the girl and pressed a
handkerchief saturated with a drug to
her nose. The boy awoke and scream
ed for help. The man ran toward him
and was trying to render liim unconsc
ious with the drug,when the girl, fast
succumbing to the drug,called up Sun
bury and said she was being chloro
formed.
The Sunbury operator called Solins
grove and asked the niglit operator
there to have the Bell operator call
Shamokiu and toll the operator there
of the peril of the girl in the United
exchange. The entire transmission of
the messages took but a short time,
and in less than five minutes after
Miss Kuukle had sent in her call for
help the message had been sent in a
roundabout way to a hotel.
At the latter place the niglit attaches
left their posts and notified officers,
who hurried to the telephone build
ing. Finding the front door lmrred,
the police lost no time in tearing it
from the hinges. They dashed up the
stairs and upon entering the room they
detected the odor of a strong drug,the
effects of which almost bliuded them
and caused intense pain.
A second later they found Miss
Runkle on a chair in front of the
switchboard and the brother ou the
couch. Both wore senseless. They
were carried to an open window in
the rear of the telephone office and a
doctor arrived in a few minutes and
found that nitrate of aniyle, a power
ful drug, had been used by the assail
ant in overpowering tl»j> operator,.and
her brother.
They were driven home and revived
after much difficulty. It is supposed
that when the intruder realized Miss
Kuukle had called over the wire for
help ho immediately fled.

Plymouth Rock.
riyniouth rock has become an object
of veneration In the United States be
cause of its interesting historical asso
ciations. As is well known, it is the
rock er ledge on which the pilgrims
are believed to have lauded when they
llrst stepped from their boats in the
harbor of what is now I'lymoutb,
Mass. lu 1775 part of the rock was
removed to tile vicinity of I'ilgriui
hall, but was afterward restored to its
original site and is now under the
stone canopy that surmounts the main
rock ou Water street. Charles Sumner
said. "From the deck of the Mayflow
er, from the lauding at Plymouth rock,
to the senate of the United States is a
mighty contrast, covering whole spaces
of history hardly less than from the
wolf that suckled llomulus and Kemus
to that Roman senate which on curule
chairs swayed Italy and the world."
The Hypocrite a Genius.
Heally to he a hypocrite must re
(|Ulre a horrible strength of character.
An ordinary mau such as you or 1 gen
erally falls at last because he has not
enough energy to be a man. But the
hypocrite must have enough energy to
be two men. It Is said that a liar
should have a good memory. Hut a
hypocrite must have not only u good
memory of the past, but a consistent
and creative vision of the future; bis
unreal self must be so far real to him.
The perfect hypocrite should be a trin
ity of artistic talent. He must be a
novelist like Dlckeus to create a false
character. He must be an actor like
Garrick to act it. And ho must be a
business man like Carnegie to profit
by It. Such a genius would not be
easy to find in any country.—G. K
Chesterton
LODE WOMAN
HORRIBLY BURNED
Miss Emma Turner, residing on D.
L. & W. avenue, just below Church
street, was the victim of a probably
fatal burning accident about 10 o'clock
Friday night. The burns which Miss
Turner sustained as the result of burn
iirg oil falling on her clothing are tei
rible in the extreme, and cover her en
tire body and limbs above her knees.
Miss Turner resides alone. The ac
cident occurred when she was about to
retire. She took a hanging lamp to
light her way to bed, and on the stairs
some of the oil leaked and ran down
the outside of the lamp, igniting. She
turned and ran down the stairs and
through the kitcher to throw the burn
ing mass into the yard, in her
haste her clothing caught fire.
By the time she arrived at the kitch
en door her dress was in flames. A
neighbor, attracted by her cries, ran
to her, and endeavored to extinguish
the fire by wrapping his coat about
her. This proved insufficient, and lie
wrapped about, her an old carpet that
lay in the yard.
Before the tire could be extinguish
ed nearly every stitch of the woman's
clothing had been consumed, and the
flames were licking the flesh.
Dr. Hiushillwood, who lives nearby
on Church street, was quickly 011 the
scene, and did all ho could to relieve
the woman's terrible suffering. Over
her entire body and limbs the terrible j
burns extend, leaving not a place 1111- j
touched. In some places where the 1
burns are worse than others, the flesh I
is charred.

tack the vital organs, causing catarrh of
the bladder, brick-dust or sediment in

back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness, or the kidneys themselves break
down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid
neys. Swamp-Root corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in passing it,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity
:of being compelled togo often through
5 the day, and to get up many times during
| the night. The mild and immediate effect
| of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
: is soon realized. It stands the highest be

| Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent free by mail. Address,

| COUNTY COURT
More adequate provision for jurors
will likely be made in the Northum
berland county courthouse as the re
j suit of tho opinion handed down in
the Fisher murder case by the supreme
j court, ill which they awarded the pri
i sonor a third trial.
The opinion states that it is conced
|ed by counsel for both sides that tho
provisions for caring for juries in
homicidal cases are totally inadequate.
;In reviewing two cases from Nortli-
I umberland county, in both the court
; was called upon to pass on tho mis
conduct of jurors. In tho present case
a juror went alone and unattended to
: the toilet on one occasion and on an
; other occasion several went there.
| Tho jury the court states was in
1 charge of two tipstaves, one of whom
ion account of his advanced years was
utterly unfit for tho jxisition. The
! court then reviewed briefly all the
charges of misconduct on the part of
I the jurors. They noted each time they
; wont into bar-rooms, barber shops,
j drug stores, etc.
I Tho law requires "sober, intelligent
aud judicious persons." They must
not. touch auy liquor while they are
hearing the case. The court then tells
of each quantiy of liquor which the
Fisher jury drank and of the occasions
when they had it brought to their
rooms in the hotel.
Referring to the deplorable inadequ
acy of handling juries in homicidal
cases in Sunlmiy the court states that
tho jury was kept at a hotel in the
busiest part of town, which was an
unfit place for persons who must be
isolated. They were required to pass
through crowded corridors and halls
where people were conversing.
The court then stated that tho trial
judge on hearing this evidence should
have immediately granted a new trial
to Fisher. They say: "A verdict ob
; tained under circumstances of this
character cannot receive the approval
of a judge of court which has a proper
respect for and enforces the constitu
tional rights of its citizens."
