BUMPER CROPS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
H. V. White, of Bloouisburg, presi
dent of the State Millors' association,
•secretary of State College and a man
closely in touch with the agricultural
situation, after a tour of the State
makes the statement, founded upon
intimate knowledge, that the crops of
Pennsylvania this year are among the
largest if not the largest,ever harvest
ed.
The oats crop is unquestionably, he
says, the largest ever grown, although
the storm of last Monday did consider
able damage in this immediate sec
tion. The crop had been harvested in
the southern part of the State and that
escaped the storm, of which little was
thought in this section, but which
caused the heavily laden stalks to
break off aud when the crops were
harvested this weok a considerable
quantity of the oats fell out in harv
esting.
The early potato crop was good and
the information Mr. White has receiv
ed from all parts of the State is that
the late potato crop never looked so
well. From the Wayne county section,
down through York aud Lancaster
counties and out through the western
part of the State,the same word comes
and Mr. White expresses the opinion
that a wonderfully large crop of pota
toes will bo harvested.
More than 20 per cent, greater than
in any year during the last ten years
■will be the average yield of wheat per
acre and, generallylspeaking'the crops
could not be better. The Hessian fly
lias done some damage in a few sec
tions, but this condition is not gener
al. Then, too, the rye crop is the larg
est and best Pennsylvania has ever
had.
TO AILING WOMEN
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many
a Sufferer in Danville.
No woman can be healthy aud well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off iu the secretions when the
kidneys are well, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys aud bladder become inflamed and
swollen aud worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause
of bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideaclie, etc. Uric poisoning
also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness aud rheumatic
paiu.
When suffering so. try Doau's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will got better as the
kidneys get better, and health will rt
turu when the kidneys are well. Let a
Danville woman tell you about Doau's
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. Edward Dielil, Pine Srreet,
Danville. Pa., says: "Doau's Kidney
Pills proved to be an effective kidney
medicine in my case. The use of six
boxes of this remedy, procured from
Hunt's Drug Store, entirely relieved
me of pains in my back and other
troubles caused by disordered kidneys.
Doau's Kidney Pills should have a
permanent place in every household."

LARGEST BASS
EVER CAUGHT
Gearhart Oberdorf, who last Friday
caught a bass while fishing from the
river bridge that weighed pounds
and measured inches in length,
seems to have acquirod the habit of
catching big fish. Monday morning
from his customary peroh on the bridge
lie hooked what was unmistakably the
biggest bass ever taken from the river
at this place. It tippod the scales at 4
pounds and 9 ounces and measured
twenty inches in length.
Mr. Oberdoif in order that there
might be no doubt as to the full ex
tent of the catch took the big fish
down town. It was still alive when
exhibited to the wondering crowds
that soon gathered around him. Few
people could believe that bass were to
be found in the river that had attain
ed such a laige size. The bass was in
a thriving condition and was a beauty,
in dimensions resembling a shad.
Bass are fairly plentiful in the river
this season, while more than the usual
proportion seems to have attained
large size. As the river falls toward
low water mark the big bass from the
bridge may be seen disporting them
selves in the water below. Fishing
from the bridge has become quite pop
ular, although comparatively few
persons have succeeded in hooking
anything worth while from that elev
ated position.
Mr. Oberdorf seems to be the only
one who knows the trick. When asked
yesterday what secret art lie employed
he replied, "There is no secret abont
it, only patience."
The thriving condition of the bass
would seem to disprove the theory that
the presence of coal dirt in the stream
tends to kill off the fish. The white
chub is recognized as the most delic
ate fish extant yet this fish,along with
bass,has flourished and is moie plenti
ful at present than at any time in the
past.
As local fishermen view it, if there
is anything that militates against the
well-being of fish in the North Branch
it is the general absence of river grass,
which at one time abounded but which
seems to have been destroyed by the
great ice gorges that swept the river
bottom some years ago. It is well
known, they say, that bass frequent
grass, when it can be found, and itjis
believed that the lattor to some extent
is essential to the well-being and de
velopment of fish. Local fishermen,
who are interested in keeping the riv
er stocked up, will lay the matter be
fore Commissioner of Fisheries Wil
liam E. Meehan in order to obtain his
views on the subject and to see what
measures can be adopted to restore the
grass, if the latter is considered es
sential in propagating fish.

SAFE CRACKED IN
GATAWISSA DEPOT
Bold yeggmen entered the Pennsyl
vania station, at Oatawissa,early Sat
urday morning and blew open the safe
with nitro-glycerine. For their trou
ble they got $21.41 in cash. The safe
door was shattered and the inside door
was blown across the office and against
the partition between the office and
the waiting room. There is no clue,
although a search has been made.
Residents of the borough, after the
explosion heard men hurrying across
the Snsquelianna river bridge, which
entrance is nearby.
That it was the work of profession
' als there seems to be but little or no
doubt. The men let all of the tickets
alone, and took only the money draw
ers and a special delivery letter. This
contained a Pennsylvania Railroad
Relief fund check,and is easily negoti
able. There were hundreds of dollars
wortli of tickots and some money ord
er blanks for sending telegraph money
orders, but these were untouched.
On the floor was a piece of common
I yellow rosin soap, and a silver tea
' spoon. This indicated very plainly
| what the men worked with. They first
! wrenched off the safe knob, and pour
|ed the deadly nitro-glycerine in the
< aperture, closing it with soap and us
' iug the spoon to pour in the last few
'» drops, in order that their work would
j be sure.
Prior to the explosion residents of
! Catawissa saw two men on the tracks
1 under the light at the Main street
j crossing and one of them whistled by
{ placing his fingers in his mouth, and
blowing a shrill note. Thtn the explo
j sion ocourred. According to that it is
| believed thiat there were at least three
> men in on the job. One stayed to light
j the fuse, after the others went oat to
| see if there were any others around,
i Then the whistle, which was a prear
| ranged signal to light the fuse,
j A short while after the explosion all
|of the residents in the neighborhood
! were aroused and made an especial
| effort to locate it. They heard hurry
ing steps on the river bridge, but all
was still after tiiat.
On Friday the station agent deposit
ed S2OO in bank and the day before he
i made a remittance to the treasurer of
j the company at Philadelphia. This is
| the fourth time within the last 10
j years that the safe in this station has
I been robbed.

VANDALS AT PARK
Tl:ere is scarcely any limit to the
' mischief that persons maliciously in
j dined will not perpetrate, if given the
| opportunity. If there is anything
| about Memorial park safe from van
dals one would have thought it was
] the heavy cannon mounted on and
| neatly fitting into granite pedestals.
I Yet it was discovered a few days ago
' that vandal hands had lifted one of
I the cannon out of its bed breaking the
'cement in which it was set. The heavy
| gun was replaced by borough ern
! ployes, but it rests loosely on the
| pedestal and will have to be reset.
Notwithstanding the dry weather
things about the park appear to be
growing nicely. The sod remains
green, while the flower beds present a
beautiful appearance.

LEAGUE STARTS
ONjjEW SERIES
At a meeting of the managers of the
Susquehanna league, held yesterday
afternoon in the Klks' rooms at Ber
wick, it was decided to close the pre
sent series of games, since Danville's
unsurmountable lead has caused inter
est in the game to lag, and to open
this week a new series of tlfteen games
to last until September 10th.
Danville was declared the winner of
the tirst series of games, and in case
another team wins the seoond series,
that team and Danville will play a
series of games after September 10th
for the championship of the league
and the 1910 pennant. lu case Dan
ville wins the second series, the pen
nant will, of course, go to this town
I without a deciding series.
I The meeting yesterday was marked
|by heated discussions, which arose
1 1 mostly on subjects relating to the new
schedule of games. The motion to
' | play the new series which, by the
' way, was made by Manager Hoffman
'} of Danville, was the only business
■ | transacted, but it required nearly two
I hours of heated argument before the
■ i measure was finally brought to a vote.
The Danville and Berwick mauage
' ments wanted to play a 20 game series
• to last uutil September 17th To this
' | were offered strenuous objections by
I Colley, of Shickshinny and Sharpless,
; of Bloomsturg. Manager Colley would
not staml for more than 15 games and
< Manager Sharpless stated that Blooms
-1 I burg would positively not play longer
: | than September 10th.
' J President McCollum appointed Haas,
■j of Nanticoke ; Sharpless, of Blooms
• j burg and himself as a committee to
• I arrange a schedule for the new series,
t 1 This committee will meet some time
' this week and frame a series of games
which will be presented to themanag
- ! ers at a meeting whicii will be called
by President McOollum.
»■ This committee will have an ardu
' j ous task to suit all concerned,as it de-
T | veloped that some of the managers are
■ | accusing otheis of trying to preempt
' all the desirable dates. This phase
reached a climax when J. N. Harry,
• of Berwick and Tom Moore,of Blooms
-3 burg, got into a heated wrangle over
112 { dates. The committee will also have
s [ to keep Berwick and Noscoi>eck from
' conflicting and tako into consideration
8 many other at issue.

NEW RULE AND
REGULATION
The outbroak of infantile paralysis J
and the general prevalence of pellagra |
and duodenalis (hook worm) in Penn
sylvania has led to the adoption of a
new rule and regulation by the State
department of health, which requires
that these diseases in the future be re
ported by physicians to the health
authorities the same as is done in the
case of small pox, diphtheria, scar
let fever, &c. It has been discovered
that book worm and pellagra, the lat
ter being an affection of the skin witli
severe constitutional and nervous
symptoms, are by no means rare dis
eases in Pennsylvania but that ou the
0 mtrary, the cases of hook worm,
especially, have become strikingly
numerous.
So far as known the outbreak of in
fantile paralysis has not yet reached '■
this county. It is probably merely for |
statistics that these additional cases |
are to be reported.
J Dr. George A. Stock, county medic- !
al inspector, Friday received the
following communication from Di.
Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner
I of health:
'•Deal' Sir: —I beg to call your atten
tion to the following rule ami regula
tion adopted by the advisory board of
the State department of health in ac
cordance with the authority given by
the act of assembly, approved April
27, li>os: ' That all physicians practic
ing within the limits of the State
make in immediate report of each and
every case of uncinaria duodenalis
(hook worm), pellagra and anterior
poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) oc
curring in their practice, in the same
manner that communicable diseases
are now by law and by rule and regu
lation of the State department of
health reported to the health author
ities. '
"No quarantine regulations have
beeu adopted for these diseases.
(Signed) SAMUEL G. DIXON."
A copy of the rule and regulation

new forms to bo used in making re
port forwarded to county medical in

POWER HOUSE BURNED
The largo power house of the United
I Light and Power company,which fur
nishes power for the Lewisburg, Wat
| sontown and Milton Trolley company
i and street and residence lights for
j Milton, was destroyed by fire Tues
i day morning. The town is without
■ light or trolley service.
: The lire broke out about 1 o'clock
| and while the origin of the blaze is
; not definitely known it is believed to
have been caused by a short circuit on
the big generator. An hour after the
blaze started the building was in ruins.
The loss is estimated at about #:i0,000,
partly covered by insurance. All of
the generating machinery was destroy
ed.
The company some time ago began
the erection of a new and larger plant,
which will be completed in about a
month. In the meantime an auxiliary
planted will be equipped and it is ex
pected that by Friday night service
can bo resumed. Arangementsare now
being made to get the necessary equip
mnet for the temporary plant. It is
likely that the machinery will be se
cured in Williamsport from the Ly
coming Electric company, which re
cently dismantled two old plants.
FARMERS URGED '
10 SEEK STATE 1 ■
O. F. Marsh, argicultural represent- I
ative of the Northern Central Rail- '
road, says that lie does not think that
the fanners of Pennsylvania are fami
liar with the system of supervision
model orchards, which has been in
augurated by Prof. H. A. Surface, of <
the Agricultural Department at Har- 1
risburg, for if they were his office '
would be ovetwhelmed with applica
tions. This is by far the most import
ant woik ever undertaken by this or
probably any other state.
I While he will conduct demonstra-
I tions of spraying and the proper care |
lof orchards as in the past, the super
vision part is something original. By j
; this plan any farmer may write to his j
' office and make application to have \
j his orchard placed on the list of sup- j
I ervisioii orchards. There is no charge !
| for this service All that is necessary
i is for the farmer to agree to follow in
j structions, when the department will
! send ail expert to his farm to look the 1
: situation over. He will do such work
jas is necessary to start the owner in 1
■ the proper methods of pruning and |
| spraying. He will also leave a written
| outline for the management of the or- !
chard throughout the year, including
j the following cultivation, pruning, i
1 spraying and other features of orchard
: management with special reference to !
I insects ami fungus control. The expert '
will visit the orchard a number of
i times during the season to inspect the i
work anil give such advise as may be
needed.
The object of this work is to demon- J
I strate in a practical manner how to ;
i obtain the best possible returns at the j
j least necessary expense, and the de- !
| partment will promise within two |
I years and, doubtless within one, to !
j show how to produce an abundant
j crop of good and fairly perfect fruit, j
| fairly free from blemishes and insect j
pests and plan disease and ready for j
sale at the highest market prioe ; which j
| will keep longer ami be much more j
valuable to both the producer and con
| sumer than the average fruits of the
j same kind.
| One of the State orchard inspectors i
j visited 2,000 orchards last season and
| states that he could count on the fing
ers of one hand those that were spray
|ed aud cultivated, while it is a well
known fact that practically all the ap
ples grown iu this section are sold iu
; bulk simply for lack of care iu cultiva
| tiou and handling.
j Many of these orchards contain from
; .30 to 200 trees, which at the low valu
ation of £sjuet profit per tree, would
i give an income from $250 to ifl,ooo per
I year, frequently more than the whole
farm rents for.
1 We would strongly advise every
farmer to take advantage of this liber
al offer and to write; Professor Surface
i for particulars regarding his system of
I supervision orchards.

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,

rheumatism, pain iu the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
i cessity of being compelled togo often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
i immediate effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest be
cause of its remarkable «
health restoring prop
erties. If you need a CSMkSh
medicine you should fj
have the best. Sold by
