FLAGRANT NUISANCE
A building on the rear end of the 1
! Speiser lot, West Market street,which
. for years past has caused complaint,
during the present spring seems to I
have become especially objectionable |
because of the offensive odors which 1
emanate from offals and decomposing
matter in various forms. It is a ques- j
tion whether a slaughter house can be i
found anywhere that is more object- |
ionable than the building on the j
Si>eiser lot.
Under certain conditions of the at- j
mosphere the stench that pervades the |
locality of West Market street is intol j
erable. Numerous instances of late
might be cited when people passing
on the sidewalks were nauseated and '
residents were obliged to seek the j
shelter of their houses, closing doors !
and windows. Naturally, under other 1
atmospheric conditions, the offensive J
odors may not be detected.
The residents of West Market street 112
have a just grievance. It is a shame j
anil a disgrace that a nuisance of such j
a type should bo maintained in a res
idential part of town where large j
sums are invested in real estate and ■
where in return for their taxes the j
property-owners should be entitled to |
full protection from the borough.
Time and again the nuisance com
plained of has been reported to the J
hnrnncrh (.oiinoil It c»nin up the last
time a few weeks ago; as on previous j
occasions it was referred to the com- |
in it toe; relief was promised but. the
same old story repeats itself and, in
stead of au improvement, conditions,
if •>r.. nmmiim wnrun
The people in that part of town |
have been loiig-suffering, but they are '
not in a mood to yield longer to a I
policy of delay or temporizing. It is j
the duty of somebody to see to it that j
the nuisance is abated ;that a slaught- j
er house or nothing akin to it is main
tained at or near that spot. Such work |
as is conducted there should be rele
gated to points outside the borough. |
Time and again the assurance has
been given that the place would not
be permitted to become offensive, but j
past experience has shown that prom- |
ises count for nothing. Let council |
enforce the ordinance. Ample provis
ions are made for the abatement of
just such nuisances as the building
complained of. The people have a
right to demand that drastic action be
taken without a moment's unneces
sary delay..
MANY CHANGES
WILL BE MADE
Architect J. H. Brugler has about
completed the plans for Cue remodel
ing of the Montour House and in a
day or so work on the improvements
will be started. The changes contem
plated will not only alter the appear
ance of the famous old hostelry con
siderably but will also add to conven
ience and general commodiousness.
First of all a new roof will be put
on the building, imjiorted tin being
used. The slate at present on the roof
is in bad condition. A great deal of
work will be involved in reroofing
the hotel, as the slate used is fasten
ed directly onto the lath, which will
necessitate a lining of boards before
the tin can be put on.
Great alterations will be made in
the first story and in the basement. In
the latter the floor will be excavated
to obtain more room. The plans pro
vide for a metal ceiling and a cement
or tarrazo floor. In the basement a
rathskeller will be installed. There
will be new fixtures throughout.
On the first floor the office will bo
remodeled and will be extended east
ward. In the rear of the building an
addition will bo erected for lavatory
and toilet rooms.
The spacious apartment at the south
eru end of the building, now used as
reading room, will be divided into
two apartments for sample rooms.
A feature of the improvements will
be a spacious stairway with elaborate
railing leading from the first story in
to the cellar about the center of the
building. The plumbing throughout
will be remodeled and the entire build
ing will be modern and sanitary.
WILL NOT ATTEND CAMP
Danville members of the National
Guard will take no part in the divis
ion encampment at Gettysburg, which
has been designated between August
11 and 20.
The Third brigade, the three Phila
delphia cavalry troops and Battery
B, of Pittsburg, which will camp
with the regulars at Gettysburg in
July, will not attend the division en
campmont.
A general order was also issued Sat
urday countermanding the order of
i some weeks ago designating July 14 to
j 23 as the time for the encampment
| and designating Gettysburg and the
August dates in its place. At the same
| time a general order was issued an
nouncing that the annual State rifle
; matches to bo held at Mt. Gretna will
I be changed so as to begin July ,25 in
| stead of August 1.
TEAM FRIGHTENED
i A bad accident was narrowly avert
ed at Cole's Hardware store Monday
afternoon. Noinian Krum of Mahon
ing township hail just driven into
town with a two-horse spring wagon
ami had tied his horses immediately
in front of the hardware store.
Soon afterward a passing automobile
frightened the horses and they spiang
in upon the sidewalk. At the same time
one of the yoke straps broke, which
caused the tongue to drop. As the
horses sprang upon the sidewalk they
overturned several large boxes of cab
bage and tomato plants, belonging to
Mr. Cole, which stood along the curb
ing.
Quite frantic as the result of the
succession of accidents the horses
plunged toward the store. Everyone
expected to see them take a header
through the plate glass window when
Officer John G. Voris and Ralph
Fisher rushed to the spot, and, each
seizing a horse, soon had the team
quieted. There was considerable ex
citement about the corner for a while.
ENTERTAINED WHIST CLUB
W. K. Gosh and Kalph B. Diehl Mou
day evenin tendered a smoker to the
members of the Whist club in that
popular organization's new quarters
in W. J. Baldy's building, next to the
Danville National bank.
There were twenty-five members of
the club present anil a most enjoyable
social evening was spent. A rubber
of whist occupied the earlier part of
the evening, which was followed by a
bountiful spread and the smokes.

FIELD S TRACK I'
MEET MAY 28TH
Arrangements are now being com
pleted, under the supervision of James 1
Ka.su, for the third annual iiald und ]
track meet of the Danville Y. M. O. j
A. and the Danville high school, which i
will be held at Athletic park on the i
afternoon of Saturday, May 28th. I
The principal evont ami the one in (
which the greatest interest centers,
will be the mile relay, for which the 1
T. J. Price challenge cup is the (
torphy. Berwick has won the cup two
years in succession anil if that team i
succeeds in again taking the cup it ■
will belong to them permanently.
The Danville team, this yer, inteuds i
making a big effort to win, and pre-1
vent the cup falling into Berwick's j
hands. A group of our younger ath- j
letes are now in training and are
working out each evening under the I
direction of Mr. Kase.
Another feature this year, which j
will be an innovation in Danville,
will be a five mile marathon. The I
course will bo inside the park, so the
runnels will be in sight of the specta- j
tors during all of their long grind. It j
is the intention, if possible, to secure
a spocial prize for the winner of this J
i evert. The other events will include 1
the usual numbers of a field and track
i meet.
' Invitations were sent out on Mon
' day to teams from Berwick, Milton,
1 Sunbury and Oatawissa to paitcipate j
| in the meet.
I Although Danville failed to win the
j mile relay last spring, the meet was
' won by the local team on points by a
j large margin, Berwick finishing sec- j
I ond.
MOTHERS' DAY
Mothers' day was pretty generally ;
observed in this city Sunday." In
practically all the chnrches the occa
sion was.given recognition. At sever
al houses of worship special topics ap
propriate to the day were announced,
while elsewhere in the sermous the
subject of "Our Mothers" was dwelt !
upon lovingly and at length.
! At 8:30 o clock a general meeting |
! was held in Y. M. O. A. hall in obser
vance of Mothers' Day. There was a
| good-sized audience present. The
speaker was the Kev. J. H. Mussel- ■
man, pastor of Pine Street Lutheran
church, who took as his subject:
j " Our Mothers. " • j
i It was a most impressive discourse. j
The heart was stirred to its depths as
the speaker eloquently and with deep
; feeling paid tiis tribute of praise to j
the unfaltering love, the devotion,and
1 the self sacrifice of our mothers, re- j
i viviug memories that are among the
| most sacred treasures of the heart.

HORSE DROPPED DEAD
Arthur Amesbury lost a valuable
horse Tuesday in a most unaccount- •
able'manner. The animal with anoth* .
er horse was hitched to a wagon that j
was being used to haul river coal.
As the team was 'drawing the load j
ed wagon up the driveway leading ,
from the flat boats to the top of the ,
river bank, below the water works,
the bay horse without tho laast warn- j
ing dropped dead in its tracks. Heavy
pulling is required at that point and
it is supposed that wtdle making an (
extra effort the horse ruptured a blood ,
vessel. I
Tiie animal—a heavy draught horse j
—was a companion to the one owned
by Mr. Amesbury that was killed by
the cars at the D. L. &W. crossing,
Chuich street, last fall. 1
THE MOVEMENT
IS GROWING
The organized adult Bible classes
now a part of every Sunday School in
Danvilla are assuming tremendous
importance as factors in religious
work. The rapid growth and tho zoal
inspired by the movement are striking
ly demonstrated by the adult Bible
Class at St. Paul's Methodist Episco
pal church, which has made unprec
edented strides, now numbering 121
members,2s of whom were added Sun
day.
The class, which is composed of
males only above the age of sixteen
years, was organized, November tith,
with Wesley Hollobaugh as president;
W. A. Sechler, vice president; E. S.
Fornwald, secretary and Ralph H.
' White, Treasurer. The class meets in
the main auditorium each Sunday
morning between 9:30 and 10:30
| o'clock.
The secret of the rapid growth of
j the class lies in the zeal "and energy
iof its members, each of whom each
Sunday makes it a point to bring in
one or more new members. There are
two sides in the Bible class One side, !
known as the • Reds," has as its cap- !
tain Councilman Ira Everhart; the j
other known as the "Whites," is un- [
der the leadership of Borough Secre- (
tarv Harry B. Patton.
Previous to Sunday morning the j
I enrollment was flfi, with the "Whites" j
[ a few points ahead. As the new men
were brought in Sunday the frieml
ily rivalry existing in the two sides
I was clearly manifest and there was
much curiosity to learn how the new
members would line up. The announ
! cement made at the close of the ses
| sion showed that while the member
ship had grown to 121 the "Whites"
| were still ahead, having 56 men as
against the "Reds," ♦54. Ninety-nine
names responded to the roll call Suu
' day, 82 per cent, of the entire mem
bership being present. The Bev.
i George S. Womer, pastor of St. Paul's
\ Methodist Episcopal church, who is a
j member of the adult Bible Class, is
I not enrolled on either side.
' The exercises, which include an ad
| dress by the Rev. Mr. Womer, are al
: ways of a nature to arouse inter
i est and impress the men, the most of
| whom probably are not habitual
; church goers. Mr. Womer's talk Sun
day was an especially able and ap
| propriate one, along the line cf indul
gences with especial reference to in
temperence. The big class sat in most
j respectful silence, impressed with the
i broad sympathies that inspired the
1 address and the speaker's desire to
I help and uplift humanity. Another
feature unite inspiring in its effect
was a vocal solo rendered by Mr. Ir
vin Vannan.
MYRON WELLIVER
Myron Welliver, the eighteen year
j old sou of S. F. Welliver, Limestone
township, died Sunday morning at
1 o'clock following a several days'
| illness.
The deceased was a young man of
much promise. For the past two
years he had been a pupil at the
Strawberry Ilidge high school and

BIG CIRCUS
AT SUNBURY
Not since the beginning of time has
au amusement euterpiiHe so tremend
ous in size been organized as this one.
Its magnitude is almost beyond be
lief. It comes this year, after an ab
sence of several seasons, with a com
plete new equipment from start to
finish. It cost the management $3,200,-
000. Every corner of the earth has
been searched by the foreign agentß
of the show for novelties. The result
is a performance brim full of sensa
tional acts, the largest and the only
complete zoo in America and a three
mile parade. This parade is a verit
able world's fair and a panoramic his
tory of the eartli from the days before
the flood up to the last tick of the
clock.
| This great circus is fifty years old.
It has always stood at the top among
all the amusement enterprises of the
world. This year it returns bigger,
; better and more attractive than over.
! On its list of performers there are liuO
names. These great stars have been
gathered from European arenas. Among
' them are the three Tybell sisters, who
present a "Human Butterfly" aerial
■ spectacle which electrified all Europe
i last winter; Karl Hundley and his
I company of German acrobats; Paul
! Alvarez, of Spain, the greatest head
balancer on earth; the Avalons ;froui
\ England, the best of all high-wire
'artists; Capt. Webb and his two
i troupes of trainod seals ;Nellie Welch,
!of Australia, the only woman double
somersault equestrian in the world;
; Ada Bell Edwards, the world's strong
-1 est woman, and the wonderful Alvo
family of aerialists from Italy. The
: greatest trained animal act in all his
j tory is presented by sixty-one horses,
j They appear at one time in one ring.
j There are also the fifteen best educat
jed elephants on earth. They perform
j in company with three companies of
j trained dogs.
In the menagerie there are 780 wild
| animals. Scarcely a one of them have
! ever been seen in this country before
. The menagerie alone represents an ex
\ penditure of a million dollars in mon
j ey. When it comes to the street par
i ade a description is impossible. The
! great free pageant must be seen to be

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
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. «
Sold by druggists in
fifty-cent and one-dol
have a sample bottle
pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Don't make any mis
take, but remember the name, Swamp-
Root, and don't let a dealer sell you
something in place of Swamp-Root—if
you do you will be disappointed.
SENATE TUSSLING
WITH R. R. BILL
WASHINGTON, Mav;il.
Senators proceeded serenely today
with the job of fixing up their rail
road bill despite the fact that the
house with much contention and heavy
labor passed a measure on the same
subject yesterday. Senators, well
aware of the fact that ths shooting-up
of the bill in the house has been from
angles different from those employed
in the senate, will indulge only in
I grim smiles when they haar officially
! that the house asks their "concur
-5 rence.''
The house version of the bill will be
referred to the senate committee on
I interstate commerce. The committee
| most likely will let it rest in a pigeon
i hole until the senate bill lias been
, about completed. Then the committee
will in all probability recommend that
! the senate bill be adopted as a sub
stitute, the senate will follow the re
-1 commendation and the senate bill will
be sent to the house for concurrence,
i The house will refuse to concur and
will ask for a conference, which will
; take place without further delay. A
' conference committee usually consists
|of committees consisting of two He
publicans and one Democrat from each
branch of congress.
