Snake Stopped Pump.

A big water snake caused any amount
of trouble at the pumping station be-
longing to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company at South Danville, Saturday
and Sunday forenoon.
On Saturday the pump refused to
work and an investigation showed that
a snake had worked it's way in through
the suction pipe and become fast in
the valve. A good deal of time was
spent in trying to extricate the snake
but the job was finally abandoned as
too difficult for any one but pump
expert.
Samuel King, former engineer at
the station. was sent up from Sunbury
yesterday, who was obliged to take the
machinery apart. The snake, which
was taken out in sections, is said to
have been little less than three feet
long and nearly as thick mans
wrist.
The pump was idle from Saturday
forenoon until late yesterday after
noon. which is a very serious matter
where water is so much in demand.
Many of the locomotives which usually
take water here were obliged to run
to Oatawissa with the supply they had
on hand.

RELIEVE FLOOD
CONDITIONS

To the people who are endeayoring
to enforce the laws relating to the fill
ing of the river bed by culm aud other
distractions the action recently taken
by the Jr. o. u. A. NJ. of Harrisburg,
will prove encouraging The people In
that section of the state are almost as
badly Inconvenience by the periOdi-
cal floods in the Susquehanna as are
the people in this section. For that
reason the Jr. o. u. A. NJ. has taken
up the matter and will use its vast
membership for the purpose of secur-
ing laws to remedy the difficulty.
The members of John Harris Ooun-
Gil, No. ia. Of Harrisburg have passed
the following resolutions:
Whereas, the filling in along the
shores of the Susquehanna river and
the placing of distractions In the riv-
er, such as bridge piers, etc, by cor
porations for profit, and
Whereas, said distractions have in
creased the danger Of floods to the
residents along said river, thereby csus-
ing great damage to property which,
We belive, can be Temedied to certain
extent, by the deepening of the chan
mel, and preventing any more filling
in along the shores; therefore be it
Resolved. that we petition national
congress, through our congressman and
United States senators, for an appro-
priation from the river and harbor
fund for the improvement of the Sus-
quehanna river by deepening the chan
mel, which plan has been declared can
be accomplished by engineers who
have examined the river for that puI-
pose.
Resolved, that we petition our State
Legislature for an appropriation Tor
the same purpose and for the enact
ment Of laws preventing the filing in
along the river shore by any corpora
tion, firm or person, and for the plac-
ing Of any more distractions in the
river, and be it further
Resolved, that we ask the co-opera-
tion Of all organizations. boards Of
trade. municipal governments and citi
zens for the promotion and accomplish
ment of this object.

Successful Farmers.


Fellow farmer, says Grange writ
er, perhaps to claim your attention
even for a moment this hot and busy
season is asking too much. Yet l will
venture to ask, do you think perfeo-
tion has been reached along all lines
of the farmers interests or do you
feel that there is still room for furth-
or progress? You live in an ideal COM
munity. indeed,i if you find your social
status and your educational facilities
all that can be desired.if your income
is your full measure of the works
wealth that you produce and your ex-
penses only fair compensation for
what you use of other mems labor, if
your taxes are only your just share OF
the burdens of government and you
receive due recognition in the polit.
ical world. If these things are not all
they ought to be, does not duty call
upon you to do what you can to help
to make them right? That man is liv-
ing in low plain indeed who does
not feel desire to leave his portion
of the world, however small it may
be. better than he found it. In most
of the lines indicated your efforts as
an individual will count for little If
they count at all. Associated with
your fellows you may do much. A
live Grange has done more to educate
and elevate the farmers of the neigh
borhood in which it is located than
many times the same number of farm
ers who may long for better things but
who stand aloof from their fellows.

Funeral of Boyd Ellis,

Boyd, the l2-year r-old son OF William
Ellis. near Exchange, who died Of lock
jaw, was consigned to the grave on
Saturday. Rev. Dewitt. rector of st.
officiated at the funeral, which was
one of the largest held in that section
for long time.
Tetanus or iookjaw Is one of our
most dreaded diseases and of late
years would seem to be on the in
crease. III is only about two years ago
that a first cousin OF little Boyd Ellis,
l4-year-old son Of James ]. Ellis of
Exchange, died of the same dreaded
disease. lockjaw Death in that in
stance Was due to a splinter. which
pierced the boys foot. In the last case
the disease was caused by rusty nail
which little Boyd trod upon some
three weeks ago while doing chores
about the farm buildings. In each case
the attack was attended with dread
full agony.
The cause Of lookjaw Is pretty we'll
understood but it is difficult disease
to combat. The germs of the dreadful
malady seem to be present at many
places but they abound especially in
dry dusty places. hence it is that a
splinter from the wood pile or a nail
rusty from long contact with the earth
is capable of doing SO much injury.
Caution is at all times due when ex-
posed to the least danger and a wound
when inflicted should at once be given
over to the best medical skill obtain
able.

OLD TIMERS
At MILTON

The Old Timers played q game of
base ball with the strong Milton team
on Saturday. The Milton aggregation
found a foe worthy of its steel in the
Old Timers, winning out at the eleV
enth inning oil score of to 3.
Danville scored ON first inning, while
it was not until the sixth inning that
Milton was able to score. The pitch
ing on both sides was fine, MoOloud

ton was able to make hits in eleven
innings; Danville made ten hits.
Altogether the game was one of the
best played in this section for a long
time Teams that go up against the
Old Timers know that they must have
tried and true players. hence it is OBJ
served this season that all the teams
that play the Old Timers are made up
principally of college boys. These real
ize that they must play good ball to
win and they do their best work. As
result of all this the games this sea

Sneak Well of Your Oity,

There is too much fault finding
among the residents of cities. Every
city has its faults. It's true, but much
the better way would be to always
talk well of your home town, and then
work to make your boast good. If a
man is always talking ill of his fam
lily the people think he is not fit to
have one The same should be true of
a person who is always knocking his
home city. He should move away.
The knocking man never does anything
to benefit his town. Talk is cheap,
but it does not correct existing wrongs
Work is the keynote. Local pride and
energy will accomplish wonders. In
dividual censure which gives city a
bad name will not cure the wrongs
nearly as quickly as individual effort
in giving your city good streets, good
morals, good health. good politics and
good everything else, which gives your
city the best kind OF name.
The performance of civic duties 10y
the individual citizen is what eleyates
the community. The saying of nice
things about your city is "A great help
at all times, but the good hard work
of the citizens in all the branches
pertaining to the citys welfare Is
what is wanted. Boast of your city.
Don't knock it.

RESURRECTION

1t appears that the POlanders of the
region have great time at their
christenings, at which large quantities
of beer are INDUCED in, and when
something stronger is wanted diluted
alcohol is substituted. On one of these
occasions that occurred within the
past week, Springfield Polishman
named John Faux swallowed a quan-
tity of alcohol and fell into deep
stupor resembling death. Those pres

ice box and the lid was slipped on top.
Suddenly there came strange raps from
the interior of the box and upon the
lid being taken off Faux opened his
eyes and leaped out of the freezing
and grim bed he occupied.
This strange happening is said tc
have occurred several days ago and al
ready preparations were being made
for the funeral when the strange
noises were heard in the ice box and
the mourners all fed.
The undertaken who was supposed
to have had charge of the remains
