ITS COMMON.
The heat of past summer left a great
many people in a run down condition
that ordinary methods would not
reCruitsome in Danville.

Sometimes the question Is asked what
diseases are DR.. \. w. Chases Nerve
Pills good for? They are little differ
ent from ordinary medicine they do not
deal so much with disease as with the
cause of common and prevalent symp-
toms which they dispel by removing
the cause. Lack of Nerve Force is what
ails most people these days DR.. A. w.
Chase's Nerve Pills touch the hidden
springs that create Nerve Force and
help comes to the weak spots.
Mr. George Hale of No. 13S W Nah
oning Street, Danville, Pa, says:-"As
the result of heat prostration last sum-
mer | have since suffered a great deal
from nervousness. | have such frequ-
ent and persistent headaches and both

some of DIR. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills

Stricken With Paralysis.

Henderson Grimett, of this place, was
stricken with partial paralysis and COM
pletely lost the use of one arm and side.
After being treated by an eminent ply
sician for quite while without relief,
nv wife recommended Chamberlain 5
Pain Balm, and after using two bottles
of it he is almost entirely ured.-GEO.
R. MCDONALD Man, Logan county,
w. Va. Several other very remarkable
cures of partial paralysis have been eff
fected by the use of this liniment. It's
most widely known, however, as a cure
for rheumatism, sprains and bruises.

NiDetY-eight Per Gent.

There is a fascination about big pro
fits tOa business man. But the con
servative and cautious trader prefers to
have the lesser per cent. of interest and
the larger per cent. of safety TO his in
vestment. There is na business man
who would not consider it sound pro
position to invest i'll an enterprise in
which absolute loss was impossible and
which offered ninety-eight chances i'll a
hundred of rich profit. The statistics
Of cures effected by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery shows that ninety
eight per cent. of cases Of weak lungs
can be absolutely cured. Almost if not
all forms of physical weakness may be
traced TO starvation. Starvation saps
strength. The body is just AS much
starved when the stomach cannot ex
tract nutrition from the food it receives
as when there is no food Weak lungs,
bronchial affections obstinate cough
call for nOurishment Golden Medi-
cal Discovery supplies that that nour-
ishment in its most condensed and as
similable form. 1t makes weak lungs
strong, by strengthening the stomach
and organg of digestion which digest
and distribute the the food, and by in
creasing the supply of pure blood.

Branch Nav Be Built.

The persistent rumor to the effect that
the Pennsylvania railroad company in
tends to construct branch road from
Riverside to this city and thence along
the aband oned canal to Berwick has, it
would seem, material foundation to
rest upon. Some facts came to the sur
face yesterday, which while not design
ed for the public, nevertheless tend to
confirm the rumor. Developments,
here, that relate to the Pennsylvania
railroad company will therefore be
watched with no little interest in the
near future.
1t is no secret that the construction
of the branch described has been con-
templated by the Pennsylvania railroad
company for year or more past. The
survey was made during the summer of
1900, which included Typographical
survey, leaving things in such shape
that an estimate of cost could at any
time be made. The "Harrisburg Inde-
pendent is authority LOT the Statement
that the contract for building the branch
will soon be awarded.
There is said to be some doubt as to
where the proposed branch may cross
the river-whether at Sunbury, where
the company already owns bridge or
at this place where one remains to be
built The fact, however, that there Is
double track extending from Sunbury
to Riverside, it is thought, will weigh in
favor Of building bridge at this place.
The point here for the bridge covered
by the survey made is between River
aide and the lower end of the borough
OF Danville.

NURSED BY
CARRIE NATION
Interview With U. G. Smith Mrs. Ma
tion Coming to Danville.

Our readers will be surprised to learn
past during which Mrs. Carrie Nation
has been the subject OF so much news
and criticism, every line of which was
eagerly read, that Danville has had in
its midst as one Of irs most prominent
citizens gentleman who has known
the 'smasher' from way back, the rela-
tions of the two being, to use the gen
tleman's own words, almost those of
mother and son.
Another disclosure still more startl-
ing is the fact that Carrie Nation is
coming to Danvii!e-that she will arrive
in the near future and will in all proba-
bility deliver lecture.
The gentleman of our city who is so
well acquainted with Mrs Nation IS |.
C. Smith, formerly proprietor of the
Racket store" and at present one OF
the manufacturers of the safety wagon
sken or spindle. Mr.. Smiths name IN
connection with Mrs. Nations came TO
the surface first in an article printed in
these columns Saturday morning IaSt,re-
latng to box of goods addressed to
the "smasher" In Mr.. Smiths care,
which arrived at Williamsport last week.
Mr.. Smith was seen later by a represent
ative of the News. The box, he says,
which has excited so much curiosity
about Williamsport, contains souvenir
hatchets, designed for Danville, but sent
to Williamsport by mistake. Mr.. Smith
reached in his pocket and produced
both the bill of lading and the invoice
belonging to the box. 1t will be well
taken care of at WiIliamsport, he eX-
plained, until the proper time when it
will be forwarded to Danville. 1t is
plain, therefore, that Williamsport so
jubilant over the prospects of visit
will be given the go-by and that it is
Danville that will be honored with Car
rie's presence.
Mr.. Smith related how it happened
that Mrs. Nation and himself became
such warm friends. Many years ago,
when still in his teens he lived in Tex
as. While canvassing in the town OF
Richmond, that state, where Mrs Ma
ton resided, he was taken very Ill and
was cared for at her home. He was con
fined to his bed for a long time but the
good woman, he declares, was more
than mother to him" and tenderly
nursed him back to health.
In all the years succeeding, he says,
there has not been a period OF three
months in which he has not received a
letter from Mrs. Nation. 10 proof Mr..
Smith drew a package of letters from
the inside pocket Of his coat, nearly all
of which were from Carrie. One was
written while in Jail at Topeka, Kan. All
we're couched in the most friendly terms,
and contained some allusion to her visit
to Danville. In several she says: 81
shall surely come"
MI. cnlIH say D 1haI MIS- -'"'iON - q"
present at Buffalo, n. Y, and that there
is no doubt but that her visit to Dan
Vile will take place in the near future.
During her visit, he says, she desires to
be his personal guest.
Mrs. Nation was very anxious to as
sist the local Y. NJ. G. A. and offered
her services gratis, but the two lecture
courses were already made up for the
season.

bother with them. He had pains in his
back, could not sleep and the kidney Sc

Shamokin Again ViCtoiours.

The foot ball team Of our High school
met with another defeat at the hands of
Shamokin on Saturday afternoon last
The game was played at DeWitt's Park
and attracted a good sized crowd. At
the first sight of the visiting team who
are well developed athletic looking fel-
lows, it seemed evident that our boys,
who are less experienced, would meet
with defeat. The score was ! to 0 in
favor of Shamokin.
OF the visiting team Thompson and
Beard made touchdowns, while Farrow
kicked the goal.
Leniger was the star player on the
Danvile side making several long runs.
Frank Fisher, who played right half
back in the Shamokin team, received a
bruise upon the head during the game
which knocked him out for the time be
ing. He was assisted from the field and
brought over to Hotel Oliver, where he
was treated by DR.. Curry. The injury
sustained is not serious.

OF West HemiDak township, on one OF /
his recent visits to town relate an in
teresting fact touching on natural his |
tory which is especially aPropos Just
now during the hunting season when
the subject Of quail and the like monop
olizes so much of the conversation
among hunters.
Although there are Il good many full
sized quail this year the large number
of those comparatively small has been
remarked. The latter, Mr.. SdndeI says,
are the product of a second Matching
Every year the farmer in operating his
moving and reaping machines unayoid-
ABLY DESTROYS a great number of nests.
The quail is a peculiar bird and once
her nest is disturbed even though the
eggs have not been broken, will never
return; she will rebuild, lay other eggs
and sit again.
The above, however, is only incident
al The fact we wish to relate is as fol-
lows: Mr. Sandel last summer in now
ing his fields ran over quite a number
of nests. Knowing the habits of the
birds he one day collected all the eggs
that were unbroken and placed them
under hen.
The hen faithfully stuck to her task
and in due time was rewarded with
whole nest full of ''peeps," diminutive
specimens. it is true. with the most pc
culiar kind of chirp. The old hen, how
ever, with unquestioning faith overlook
ed these oddities, accepted the brood as
her own and proceeded to do her duty
bv them in the most motherly way.
All went tolerabIy well until the birds
attained some size, when if ever moth
er had trials and tribulationS that hen
had hers. The birds were not born for
any sort Of restraint The paid little
attention to the old hens clucking even
if they understood her, which is not
likely, as before they were anything like
half grown they had developed a Ian
guage that was entirely foreign to any
thing heard in the barn yard.
