health again by taking Wine Of Cardui.
As regulator of the menstrual periods
Wine Of Cardui has never been known
to fail. It has seldom failed to restore
perfect health, even in the most persis-
tent and aggravated case of weakness.

Wine Of Cardui and she says it helped
her into a new life. Health to Miss
Snyder is worth a great deal. She is
an attractive young woman with intel
lectual attachments and she occupies
the position of Treasurer of the Brook

marks her as person Of intellect, cul-

You may secure the same relief rs
Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui
as she took it. Thedford's Black
Draught is the companion medicine Of
Wine of Cardui and it is liver and
bowel regulator which assists greatly
in efecting cure. If you take these
medicines according to directions, the
relief and cure is simple. Some cases
are cured quickly and others take longer
because the disease has run longer.
Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine
of Cardui and has health. The same
medicines are offered you to-day.

Well Known Man Breaks a Leg.

William Henry Lee will be absent
from our thoroughfares for some weeks
to come. He has had the misfortune
to break his leg and is now laid up for
repairs in the Mary M. Packer hospit-
al at Sunbury.
Late Saturday afternoon with a
companion he visited Rieck's hotel
near the d. l.. 65 w. station and i'll
leaving fell over the railing at the en-
trance, badly fracturing his right leg.
He was conveyed to his home near the

Pennsylvania train Lee was removed
to the Mary M Packer hospital.
The unfortunate man is known about
town almost wholly by the nickname

Placed Under Heroic Treatment.

Our townsman, Henry Kerns, yester-
day received letter from Mercy
Hospital at Pittsburg. conveying full
information as to the condition OF his
son, J. Ward Kerns. who was injured
in that city on October 1st.
The letter states that Ward was struck
by traction car. He sustained a very
serious injury upon the head, as re-
suit of which he has lain unconscious
since-a period of eight days. As re-
suit of the injury his left side is to-
tally paralyzed
The letter states that there is but
one hope of doing anything to relieve
his condition, and that lies in an oper-
alton performed on the head The
treatment is an heroic one, adapted only
to desperate cases, so that the outcome
is very uncertain The hospital auth
critics accordingly decline to pro-
ceed with the operation until they hear
from Mr.. Kerns, the injured man S
father.
In conversation with representa-
tive of this paper Yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Kerns stated that he would write
the hospital authorities informing
them that he would leave the matter
wholly in their hands to do what their
experience dictated as best i'll the case.
T Ward KernS is thirty four wears
Of age and the only son of Henry Kerns.

To Remodel Church Interior.

Architect John Brugler is perfect
ing plans for the remodeling of the

sloping toward the pulpit. The cell
ing will be of metal and beamed.

installed. Stained glass will be placed

OLD RESIDENT
PASSES AWAY

In the death of John Barber, which
occurred in this city at $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, our town loses
one of its Oldest. and most highly
esteemed citiZens-one of the few sur
vivors of that group of skilled and
sturdy workmen in ascendency here
during the preceding generation, to
whose labors and industry Danville is
indebted for whatever growth and de-
yelopment has marked its career.
Mr.. Barber was i'll during the great
er part of the summer, his malady be-
ing one incidental to old age. AL
though his sufferings at times were
most intense, yet he was occasionally
able to leave the house. Only an hour or
so before his death he arose from his
chair and stepped into an adjoining
room. He later lapsed into semi con
sciousness and in that state passed
away.
John Barber, although taken by most
people for Welshman, was in reality
a native of Italy. When only nine
years of age he found his way to Wales
and grew to manhood in that country.
He adopted the Welsh language. all
knowledge of his own--the Italian
in time passing out of his mind.
AS near as can be determined Mr..
Barber emigrated to this country in
1857. He was an experienced miner
and as foreman was associated with
the late Daniel Edwards in developing
the ore mines at this place under Wat
erman & Beaver. He was a man of
sterling integrity and consistent
Christian. For many years previous
to his death he was an elder i'll the
Welsh Congregational church of this
city. He was warm hearted gener-
Gus man and will be kindly remem-
bered by many persons, who have re-
ceived favors at his hands.
The deceased was n years of age.
He was married three times, the third
wife surviving. One son, James L.
Barber, General Manager of the Shovel
Works, this city, an issue of the first
marriage, also survives. The latter
is absent ON a business trip and dur
ing yesterday could not be located.
He will probably be heard from today
when arrangements for the funeral will
be perfected.

John r. Jones, No. Gross street,
Wednesday quietly celebrated very
unique event. On this date, October
8, forty years ago, he moved into the
house he at present occupies, which
he built himself and in which he has
continuously resided.
When Mr.. Jones built his house
there was but one other residence on
the north side of the p. q r. railway
and that was p. II. Foust' brick hotel,
which was torn down year or so ago
to make room for the imposing en-
teIance to the grounds Of Castle Grove.
Mr.. Jones, who has been resident
of Danville for fifty years, on Novem- :
ber of last year celebrated his golden
wedding. He is well-known iron
worker and at one time was puddle
boss for Hancock and Foley.

Strike Stops Convention.

Owing to the strike, the Danville
District Epworth League, which was
to have been held in the First Metho-

Wednesday and Thursday has been
indefinitely postponed.
The Danville District comprises the
counties of Union, Snyder, Montour,
Northumberland, Columbia. Luzerne
and part Of Schuylkill, nearly all the
region covered by the strike. 1t is
thought that the attendance of dele
gates would be small on account of the
tie-up, and the postponement is indef
mite depending probably on the length
of the strike.

PAvEMENTS TO
Be REPAIRED

The pavements and crossings about
town came in for their full share OF
attention at the meeting OF council
Friday. George Sechler stated that
the crossing over Mahoning street on
the east side of Mill street would have
to be torn up and Telaid to meet the
grade of the new pavement at the
Grone Building. He recommended
that vitrified brick be used for the
new crossing. These, he thought,
would be more serviceable than stone,
while the cost would not be great
deal more. The idea WAS vigorously
combatted by several members but on
motion of Mr.. Dougherty it was put
to vote when it carried as follows:
Yeas-Vastine, Dougherty, Mont
gomery, Patton, Sechler.
Nays-Swank, Gibson and Lloyd.
The plank in front of the property
owned by H. L. Gross on the east side
of Mill street was reported as loose.
On motion of Mr.. Montgomery Mr..
Gross was ordered to repair the side.
walk replacing the plank with stone.
The borough will build crossing
over the alley below Mr.. Dougherty's s
Hotel on Northumberland street and
cobble the gutter at the same point.
On motion of Mr.. Dougherty it was
ordered that the Reading Iron Com
pany be requested to take up the work,
repairing the side walk and cobbling
the gutter between said alley and NAH
oning creek.
On motion the Street Commissioner
was requested to mend the crossing at
Ash and Centre streets, and to make
repairs near the Mortimer property.
Mr.. Swank reported many pavements
as in need of repair in the Second
ward. There are brick pavements.
he said, where many of the bricks are
missing and tar ravements whose sur
face is so uneven as to cause person
to stumble, while at other places there
are no pavements at all. 1t was the
sense of council that about the same
state of affairs exist in nearly every
part of the borough. On motion of Mr..
Dougherty it was ordered that the
Street Commissioner be instructed to
notify property owners whose pave
ments are bad to repair them at once
bringing the sidewalk up to the proper
grade.
On motion of Mr.. Patton an order
was drawn in favor of Mrs. /. A.
Persing, Treasurer of the Woman's Be-
nevolent society, for $72 representing
interest on the Josiah Wolf Dequest.
On motion of Mr.. Montgomery it
was ordered that repairs be made on
the Continental Hose house as pre-
viously outlined, the work to be un
der the supervision of P. j. Keefer as
sisted by Architect John Brugler.
