Sensational Act at Cranberry Lake.

The Lackawanna Railroad has secur-
ed. the services of Will H. Hill, the
worlds greatest Comedy High Wire
Artist for exhibition at Cranberry Lake,
Sunday, August 31st and Labor Day,
Septem Der LIST. Mr.. Hill is the Cham
pion high wire walker of the world, and
his act is most daring one; and it is
said that he surpasses the famous Blou-
dia, who made the act famous by walk
ing across Niagara Falls on single
cable.
Mr.. Hill introduces several new fea-
lures, one of which holds the spectators
spellbound, as with a smile on his face,
bids them good night" and then pre-
pares his bed and lies down and has a
two minutes rest at dizzy height.
Unusual interest is attached to this ex-
hibition for the reason that the wire
will be stretched across the upper end
of the lake one hundred feet above the
water, and one of acts will be diving
from the wire into the lake.
The Lackawanna has low rates for
both Sunday and Monday and tickets
may be purchased from Morristown,
N. j., TO the lake and return for rs cts.
As no admission will be charged to
the grounds, it is expected that large
crowd will witness the daring and SEN
satlonal performance 3577

Keep The Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance Of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings sickness, weakness
or debility. The system needsa tonic,
Graves it, and should not be denied it;
and the best tonic of which we have
ally knowledge is Hoods Sarsapa.illa.
What this medicine has done in keep
ing healthy people healthy, in keep
ing up the even balance of health,
gives it the same distinction as a pre-.
ventive that it enjoys as a cure. Its
early use has illustrated the wisdom
of the old saying that stitch in time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite
and strength and endurance.

NOT WANTED
Is the Kicker and knocker in any
town that we know Of.

DON'T kick. Just knock. says the
Manufacturerand Miner. One OF the
greatest troubles that a Northern
man finds when he comes into many
Southern towns is disposition on the
part of many to knock, but give him a
kick every time the opportunity pre-
sents itself once in while going out
OF the way to find an opportunity to
give him little boost on the knock
ing side Of the house, audit is prompt
ed by nothing more or less Than envy.
It does not help the newcomer, how
ever, but it makes him feel mean for
a little while, until he finds out just
how small the kicker is, and the
knocker is seton the back seat for d
long rest. The knocker does not con-
fine himself to knocking The so-called
carpet Dagger, but he is up in arms if
one Of his own townsmen gets a hustle
on and makesa success; he hunts up
his little hammer and tries to knock
him in both politics and business. Al
most every town in the south is on a
boom, or is on the edge Of one, and
the quicker the knocker learns that a
welcome to a stranger doesn't mean
swat him with your left while the
right shakes hands with the proposed
new resident, the better it will be for
the growth ofthe town, Every town
should have an Anti-Kicker's Club,
and the man who did not talk uphis
town, and the people in it, should be
asked to close the outside door Of the
town from the outside and never come
hack. He is not wanted.

the Federal and Confederate armies.
In May, 1851, the four Federal advance
columns, concentrated at Parkersburg,
W. Va, Wheeling,W. Va, Harper's

To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besides fortsat Win
chester, Harper's Ferry, Cumberland,
Piedmont and New Creek (Keyserl.
The B.&O. was the basis OF operations
for the Federal army for nearly four
years and from which the government
could MT take advance in; eafti, r
than November, 1861. The d. 81 o..
was the means Of communication be-
tween the West and the Army Of the
Potomac, and was consequently in a
continual state Of siege. Harper's
Ferry, the key to the Shenandoah
Valley, first famed through the fanat-
ical attempt OF John Brown, In defy
ing the laws and customs Of his coun-
try, was captured or recaptured eight
times in three years. The Govern
ment Arsenal and armories which
were located there, we're destroyed by
the government to prevent their cap
ture. One hundred and seventy-nine
battles of greater or less Importance
were fought on or adjacent to the Bal
timore s. Ohio railroad, not taking
into consideration the innumerable
sklrmishes.

ANOTHER VIEW.

A resume of tle football in 1909,
carefully compiled from all sections of
the country, shows that the game has
claimed more victims this season than
ever before Fifteen have died as a
result of accidents on the gridron. More
than 100 minor hurts have been record
ed, ranging all the way from conclusion
of The brain and insanity down the list
through injured spines, crushed skulls,
broken legs and arms, to such smaller
matters as broken ear drums and the
tearing loose of ribs,
The casualties were, for the greater
part, confined to the smaller and less
experienced teams, as the indiscrimin-
ute and often fatal piling up players is
most common TO those who are not well
acquainted with the game. And on the
other hand, the "big eevens do not play
their hardest until long period of train
ing and hardening has been gone through.
In this resume list no account has
been taken of the lesser hurts, such as
sproins and bruises. These were so com
mon on every team that they seldom
found their way INTO print. 1t is likely
tnat hardly member of any eleven has
not been under the care of the trainer

''Some of the massed play is really
beautiful in it's intelligence and precision.
Take the revolving movement, for in

crescent sweeps around, leaving the
player with the ball as pivot Mt tne
