Danville ami Sunbury Transit com
pany for free transportation.

Meanwhile conditions at Lime Ridge
are bad enough. Six nurses are now
employed iu the hospital. The needs
iu the way of hospital accessories
are very urgent, aud those of our citi
zens who have linen or muslin to

Sunbury Transit company and will
be carried to Lime Ridge free of cost.

IMPORTANT " 1
CIVIL SUITS
October term of court begins on the
third Monday of the month, the 17th.
Iu view of the fact that four mouths
intervene between the two terms it
might be expected that there would
be a pretty big Commonwealth list to
act upon, but the opposite seems to be
the case. Up to the present the cases
returned, besides being few in num
ber, are trivial iu nature. The civil
list will probably help some but it is
doubtful whether court will last more
than a few days.
The list of civil cases certified from
the records are as follows:
Dennis Bright vs. Franklin B. Maus

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.
by IOCMI application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion ot the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional re
medies. Deafness is caused h_v an in
filmed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed Deafness it the !
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out aud this tube restoi- i
ed to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, j
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.

GAME PRESERVE '
111 AUTUMN
Hon. Alexander Billmeyer was in
Danville yesterday afternoon. Fall is 1
the season of the year when wild anim
als obedient to instinct begin to pre- 1
pare for winter and tlie large game '
preserve maintained by Mr. Billmeyer
has accordingly assumed its most in- '
teresting phase. '
The squirrels, of which there are
many hundreds, are just as busy as
they can be laying up a store of food |
for winter. They are early risers and
Mr. Billmeyer says that each morning
they present a sight that is worth see
ing. Mr. Billmeyer is much interested ;
in the propagation of squirrels and lie
is careful to throw around them the
conditions under which they thrive
aud multiply, but it would be useless
for him to attempt to keep them in
ttie game preserve. As a matter of fact
large numbers are now to be found in
the surrounding woods often miles
away. These a little later will prob
ably be bagged by hunters. For sever
al seasons past squirrels have been,
plentiful all about this section, a con-1
dition easily accouuted for in view of I
their wholesale propagation at Mr.
Rillmeyer's park.
The wild turkeys are also returning
to the game preserve. Owing to the
wet weather last spring conditions
were not favorable for the raising of
large broods. Many of the parent tur
keys that left the preserve in the
spriug have returned with eight or a
do/en young ones. While the broods
are not exceptionally largo the turkeys
never appeared more thriving aud j
beautiful. Mr. Billmeyer has crossed
the wild and the tame turkeys aud as
the result of this inter-breeding has
produced a very choice and beautiful
bird, probably an improvement over
the tame turkey, and which is suffici
ently reclaimed from a wild state to
be content to take its place with do
mestic fowls. There is no certainty
that all the wild turkeys will return
to the preserve with a brood each fall, j
Many of the old ones are no doubt j
shot unlawfully, and the young hav- j
ins none to lead them remain out up- j
on the mountain or in"the woods j
where the most of them are bagged
during the hunting season.
. |
The fine herd of elks, however, is
Mr. Billmeyer's special pride There
are just twenty of them,with five line
bulls. "Old Jumbo" is still a patriarch
and a leader. The dehorning of the
bulls was completed lust week. Jum
bo's lordly antlers were the last to
fall. While he possessed his horns he
had no difficulty in keeping his young
rivals in the back ground, but after;
dehorning there was some doubt |
whether he would be able to maintain
his supremacy.
No soonet was he divested of his I
antlers tliau as if anxious to test the
matter Jumbo stepped forth into the
open and boldly challenged the other ;
bulls. It was a battle royal. Each one
of the other males —previously dehorn- j
ed —in turn assailed him, in the end
only to retire vanquished. Mr. Bill- I
meyer says the battle afforded a thril- i
ling spectacle aud was never surpassed :
in savage ferocity.
AWARDED CONTRACT
The contract for placing a new tin |
roof on the Continental engine house j
was awarded to George W. Hendricks j
by the couucilmanio committee on fire I
Saturday night. At the last meeting \
of council the matter was referred to I
the above committee with power to
act.
Thi' following bids were received: j
George W. Hendricks, $70.00; John (
H. Doster, $1:18.00. John Hixson sub- j
mitted three bills, for different quati- j
, ties of tin: $96.40, $110.25 and SIIB.BB. I
On motion the contract was award- [
I ed to George W. Hendricks as the low- j
| est bidder.
| The new roof will be placed on the
I building at once, as the old one is in
; a leaky condition.
DRAWING BIG HOUSES
j Another packed house greeted the
Ohauncey-Keiffer company at the
opera house last night when they of
fered "A Ward of France," which
proved to be the best play yet present
|ed by this organization Miss Keiffer
as Flower Moyne, again demonstrated
! the fact that she is one of the most
versatile actresses ever seen on our
local stage. Alvah Simnis as Victor
j Laussat,played a manly lover. Robert
: Laurence in the heavy role was all that
could be desired. James Dernpsey was
excellent in the character roles of Vll
lieres and the Moor, L. Wayne Darby
and Earl Higley furnished the come
dy in a very amusing manner, and had
the audience with them throughout
the performance.
As an extra feature tonight the Bed
dell Bros, will change their act, when
they will present their rip roaring
comedy act. Tonight Mary Emerson's
big success "His Majesty aud The
Maid." This is one of the beßt plays
in the company's repertoire. Tomor
row night the feature play of the week
will be offered "Anna Karenina" by
the well known Russian novelist,
: Count Leo. Tolstoi. It is the same
verison used by John Mason and Vir
ginia Harnetl, when they were under
the direction of the Shubert Bros,
several years ago.

AN IMPROVEMENT
Henry Clews weekly review of the
business situation says: ;
A significant indication of improve- ,
ment in underlying conditions is con- ,
tained in the better distribution that
large banking interests have recently
been able to make of bonds. Within
the last fortnight some $50,000,000 in
new securities have been successfully ,
placed, including the 17,500,000 Union
Pacific fours sold last week in Lon
don. After a prolonged season of de
pression it is in the bond department
of the market that first signs of im
provement usually appear; and there
in sight to suggest that the
bond situation will at this time prove |
a faulty barometer of approaching j
financial weather.
The Republican convention at Sara- j
toga last week may be regarded as i
marking the culmination of the specta- j
I cular bitterness that has been so ac- j
tively shown among the leaders of the I
dominant political party. Ex-presi- !
dent Roosevelt's success places upon i
i him a tremendous responsibility which
:he undoubtedly fully recognizes. It i
is most natural to expect that from j
now on he will exhibit the pronounc
ed traits that have made him so con- i
spicuously successful as a political
leader. In other words, Mr. Roose- j
! velt having taken the active leader
| ship in his own State may now be de
peuded upon to work with his ac- j
customed energy aud skill for the sue- j
cess of the ticket that he himself has
been so largely responsible for uam
iug; and it is quite reasonable to ex- j
| pect that he will use to accomplish I
this end all the wiles of the trained !
politician, not the least important or
etfective of which are co-operation ami
I cordiality with fellow-workers. Col- !
I ouol Roosevelt is too experienced aud !
! too astute a politician to permit per- I
sonal rancors to continue the dominat
ing features during the remainder of
the campaign, which from now on
! should assume a constantly decreasing
I influence as a factor in the general
financial situation.
] With the political situation cleared,
it is difficult to view the fundamental
features of the market for stock ex
| change securites in other that a favor
able and encouraging light. Were the
political factor entirely aud finally re
moved other conditions are present
that would command gradual if not j
spectacular improvement. The corn
' crop for example is now piactically
! ninety per cent, safe aud will this!
year undoubtedly cross the threo bil- |
lion busht-l mark for the first time in
the history of our great country. JOth
-ler products of our farms while in no
single instance do they promise to be I
i new record markers, nevertheless in i
the aggregate will not fall far short of j
i making 1910 the banner year in Am- j
| erie.au agricultural history. This is a \
■ fundamental situation—that in the i
long run must make itself felt —asitua- |
] tion that will probably be reflected by
I the financial market well in advance |
S of either trade or industrial activities, j
[ It is hardly possible to exaggerate the j
! importance of such a factor in the I
! stock market.
j Another fundamental favorable in-
I tluence is the distinct change for the
j better that has taken place in money
conditions during the last few weeks. !
j The Bank of England, it is true, ad- i
| vanced its official minimum discount (
| rate to four percent on Thursday,fol
; lowing a similar advance by the Ger- j
i mau Bank on Monday. In this the j
[governors of the English bank merely j
I made their official figure correspond [
i with the actual market. Money in
j England is not abnormally high, and
| the figuies that funds now command |
j there may be regarded a sign of 1
j strength in the general fiscal situation ;
j rather than an indication suggesting ;
! unfavorable developments. Great;
< Britain today is passing through a i
period of almost unprecedented trade '
activity and prosperity. It is natural 1
therefore that the banking business |
should join heartily in the current •
prosperity. It fact, our own banking |
institutions could well stand a trifle ,
more of this same kind of prosperity
without it constituting au unfavorable
influence on the general business situa
tion. Easy money, pet se. is not an
unfavorable stock influence.
It usually accompanies ' >pression in
both trade and industry. The fears
that were so general early in the sum
mer of a shortage ot funds for the
autumn have proven unfounded and
present prospects suggest that the
stock market will find ample banking
accommodation available for any
movement of a speculative character
that is likely to occur during the clos
ing weeks of the year. Preparations
for the quarterly dividend and interest
disbursements which began Monday
were responsible for rather firmer
money rates late in the week. This is
a matter that will now correct itself.
Purchases of standard investment
securities on all important breaks are
not likely to prove unprofitable from
now on.
Engagement Announced.

FOR PROPOSALS
The State highway department is
advertising for sealed proposals for
the construction of East Maiket street
extension. The section of the road to
be reconstructed under the act of May
1, 1905, is 1800 feet in lengtli and ex
tends westward from the end of the
present macadam built by the hospit
al for the insane to Foust street in
the boiough of Danville.
Tiie sealed proposals will be receiv
ed at the office of the State highway
department in the Capitol Building,
Harrishurg, until 2 o'clock in the af
ternoon of October 19, 1910, when bids !
will be opened and scheduled.
Plans aud specifications for the re
construction of the road can be seen
at the office of the county coinmis- !
sioners, this city, as well as at the
office of the State highway depart
ment at Harrisburg. The promptness
with which the State highway depart
\ ment has acted in the premises and
the early date at which the bids may
he opened make it possible to recon
: struct tlia street yet this fall. The
• plans and specifications call for mad
j catlam, the cost being over S3OOO, of
which the State will liquidate three
i fourths and the borough of Danville
! am! the county of Montour one-eighth
| respectively.
The East Market street extension,
I notwithstanding its importance, is in
a neglected condition at present. In
; view of all the facts it is gratifying
that prospects are fair for completing
i the highway this fall.
BEAR AND WOODCOCK
The season for hunting bear and
: woodcock in Pennsylvania opened Sat
, unlay, October Ist.
! Among huntsmen who tried their
luck on the first day of the season were
James Scarlet, Esq., anil K. W. Sny
der, of this city, who hunted in the
vicinity of Mausilale.
Montour county is no longer recog
j nized as a habitat of bruin, although
at long intervals one may be seen in
the vicinity of Montour Ridge. Mr.
Scarlet and his companion hunted for
woodcock.
Conditions were not favorable for
huuting, it being too dry. Xn birds
were shot by the Danville hunters; as
a matter of fact none were seen.
Reports received at the office of the
game commission at Harrisburg indic
ate an abundance of woodcock through
out the State. The season ruus from
! October Ist to December Ist and the
number that may be killed by one per
son in a day is ten; in a week, twenty;
lin the season fifty. No woodcock may
jhe bought or sold under the law, a
! l>enalty being inqiosed.
! Bears also are said to be plentiful,
I especially in the northern and Alleg
j lieny counties. The season for bear
j runs until January Ist, and there is
!no limit to the number that may be
j killed. The height of the season will
I not be here until a week or so later,
j Bears, like chestnuts, do not reaclt
\ their best flavor until after frost.
| There is scarcely a season that one or
more of our local Nimrods on return
ing from a hunting trip do not bring
in a bear as a trophy.
WHEEL SMASHED
' Councilman J. B. Cleaver, while
1 motoring along the Suubury road on

office of Dr. N. M. Smith as Mr.
| ('leaver was attempting to pass the
1 wagon, which contained seven per
| sons. He made a miscalculation, the
' front wheel of the auto catching the
J rear wheel of the wagon and swingiug

"WHOOPING COUGH
The full extent to which whooping
oough lias prevailed in Danville dur
ing the present epidemic is revealed
by the report of the local registrar for
September, which sets forth ninety
nine oases. In the month of August
twenty-nine cases were reported;
bringing the total for the two months
up to 128. To this must be added a
1 large number of cases not reported.
The report of the county medical in
j spector shows that throughout Mon
| tour county, independent of Danville
and Washington ville boroughs most in
Mahoning and Cooper townships, dur-
I ing the month of September there were
eleven cases of whooping cough. Dur
ing August and September in Mahon
l ing township alone, chiefly in East
Danville, Sidler Hill and the vicinity
I of the fair ground, the reports show a
total of forty-four cases.
The local registtar, Dr. Shultz. Sat
urday explained that whooping cough
iis undoubtedly on the wane. Al
though the report for September shows
' a wide prevalence of the disease yet
the most of the cases were reported
during the early pait of last month.
During several days past no cases have
; been reported.
The number of deaths reported dur
ing September in Dr. Shultz's distric.l
were twenty-one. Of this numbei
seven occurred at the hospital for tht
insane. In August twenty-three deaths
were reported. In May the death rate
was down to fifteen; in .Tune it was
! seventeen; in July eighteen.
The birth rate, which was as low a;
eleven in June, is also increasing. It
July sixteen births were reported, iu
August seventeen.
' During September one case of diph
theria was reported; two cases of pul
monary tuberculosis, one case of ty
phoid fever and one case of malarial
fever.
One death is attributed to whooping
cough or to pneumonia into which
whooping cough developed.
The report of the county medical in
spector shows two eases of typhoid
fever for September, one in Antlionj
| township and two in Liberty town
ship.
The conditions relating to the pub
lic health both in Danville and tin
rural districts are in the main favor
able. The showing 's especially reas
snring as relates to typhoid ,<fever,
which in up the river localities is sucl
a growing menace.

the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
