The holiday trade this year is unus-

Christmas trees are being offered for
sale and find purchasers in plenty.
Many of them are fine specimens, obtain
ed from Montour Ridge and neighbor-

price, few selling below dollar.
For smaller children an artificial tree
is taking the place of pine and spruce.
These approximate some two feet in
height and retail for fifty cents. Trim.

present nice appearance and please
the little ones as much as the genuine

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an intiamed condition of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
intiamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out often are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
OF be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR
COAL THIEVES
P & Z. Railway Company Announces
that it will Impose Full Penalty
Of Law.

There are lots of trouble in store for
certain parties in Danville who are in
the habit of pilfering coal from the cars
of the P. & r. railway company while
passing through town. The offense is
carried to an extent that will no longer
be tolerated by the railway company,
no clemency will be encouraged, but
that those found guilty of trespassing
on the company's ground or cars will be
required to pay the full penalty of the
law.
The coal thieves have reduced their
pilfering to an art. Their scheme is to
mount loaded coal train as it slows
up at the outskirts of the borough and
as it pulls through town to throw off as
much coal as they can. Later it is
gathered up either by themselves or
confederates. Several arrests have been
made, but the parties when arraigned
before the justice generally pleaded
poverty with such good effect that the
railway officer let them off easily.
Justice Bare, who has been notified
by the railway company of the course it
intends to pursue in the future, informs
us that the penalty for trespassing as
above described is not less than five nor
more than fifteen dollars fine with i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for a
period not exceeding ten days. In case
of neglect or refusal to pay such fine
and costs the full penalty calls for fur
ther imprisonment in the county Jail for
period not exceeding ten days. The
above is according to act of Assembly
approved May "a. 1878.

Losing Logic.

A section foreman on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton several years ago,
while cleaning up the right Of way, set
fire to a rail fence, and the owner Of the
rails demanded damages from the COM
pany, and a claim agent was sent to set
tie with him. Danny, the section boss,
was on hand and insisted that the rail
owner was not damaged.
Il don't know why am not damaged,
he exclaimed You set fire to my fence
md destroyed it."
"Shure sit fire to yer fence" explain
ed Danny, but livery rail was burned in
two in the middle, and now yez have
more rails by double than yez hod befoore

Danny's logic, however, did not save

ing evidence as to the universally Of

The English have put in the extra C

for the British parliament In an Irish
borough where he would be certain of
election suggests some interesting pos
sibilities, which, however, are not like
ly to be realized. 1t suggests the sar-
donlc spectacle OF the leader Of an
active enemy batting the British peo-
pie in their own parliament, supported
by the tumultuous opposition. Imagine
Dom Paul moving to censure the war
system on helpless women and chill
dren or rising in stern dignity to inter
Pellate the honorable secretary of state

1t Is held by those suggesting, ap-

Kruger is de facto a British subject
and Is therefore eligible to a seat in

Indeed, the British government could
well afford to acquiesce heartily in this

to offer inducements to De Wet and
