regular monthly meeting in Council
Chamber Monday, Chairman Gross
and Messrs. German and Schatz being
present.
A rate for water being used at the
Castle Grove golf links was applied
for. $50 was fixed as the rate. a rate

water for the boilers.
superintendent Keefer was instruct
ed to proceed with the work of re-
moving the earth and stone that has

No DELAY IN
STREET PAVING

Mill street will i'll a short time take
on very busy appearance. Contract
or d. j. Rogers vino holds the street
paving contract stated Saturday even
ing that work would be begun within
at least three days after the election
OH Tuesday. August 2nd.
Between fifty and sixty men will be
employed on the job and the grading
and laying of brick will be carried on
at the same time. Though work of this
kind seems to move slowly Mr. Rog
ers stated that III his opinion it would
not take over three months to pave
the street if all things moved as they
should. The trolley company will have
to lay its tracks before the work of
paving is begun.
The roadway will have to be dug
out to depth of twelve inches and at
some places even more. The laying of
the brick, while not difficult, neces-
sitates the employment OF experienced
hands. The street will be paved in
sections, about 600 feet at a time be-
ing blocked Off While this work will
close the street in such manner as to
prevent driving through it, yet those
places on either side of the blocked
portion will be accessible and though
some inconvenience will result this
plan will not close the highway alto
gether.
Lack of material will atno time de-
lay the work as tine Reese Hmmond
Brick Company will he under bond to
furnish the paving blocks as fast as
needed. Mr. Rogers anticipates no
trouble in securing all the laborers
needed aud the work once started will
move along with surprising rapidity.
Mill street should present sight about
December 1st in striking contrast to
what it is now and with the other
improvements contemplated the bust
ness portion of Danville will compare
very favorably with the most progress
sive cities in the state.

AN EXCITING
EXPERIENCE

Miss Maggie mack, who is employ
ed by J. f. Miller on DR.. Paules
farm. Mahoning township, had an ex-
citing experience Monday and before
noon was in state of collapse.
Miss Mack started from the farm
house about eight O'Clock to pick ber-
ries. Coming to bush where the ber
ries hung near the ground she stopped
to pick them and a moment later felt
stinging sensation on the left hand.
She raised her arm Immediately and
was Mortified to see snake clinging
to the middle finger, its fangs imbed-
ded in the flesh under the knuckle.
She shook the reptile off and ran to
the house. The arm and finger were
tightly bound above the wound
and hasty preparations made to drive
to Danville.
Mrs. Miller, who accompanied Miss
Mack to this city, alighted at the home
of friend on West Market street.
Maggie, naturally nervous about the
wound, started at once for DR.. p. O.
Ne W bakers office. She drove down
Factory street and turned into West
Mahoning street. Having the use of
but one hand she was unable to stop
the horse at the Doctor office and the
animal ut a good speed went on down
Mahoning street.
OF its own accord the horse turnC d
into Chestnut street and then again
into West Market By the time Fac
tory street was reached again Miss
Mack had managed to get the animal
under control. But coming down the
hill at the Hunt carriage shop again
lost control and the horse dashed East
on Mahoning street, going faster at
every bound.
Upon reaching Mill street a number
of men discovered the girls plight and
stopped the horse. He was a spirited
animal and though not exactly run
ming away could not be controlled in
one handed way.
The young lady was then assisted to
the Doctors Office where the snake
bite was cauterized. The hand and
finger were badly swollen but it is
not thought that the wound is a dang
erous one. The snake was about foot
and a half in length and was not
thoupht 10 be very poisonous

ance on Saturday evening. From seven
O'Clock until about ten the street was
thronged. The fact of its being pay

places customers could be accommodate

sold out early.

ingly at the ierryman.

AN ABLE OPINION
ON LIBRARIES

In an interview with Miss Eyer of
New York city who is visiting her
sister Mrs. Wyle, Cross Keys Place,
some very interesting suggestions and
comments pertaining to the Thomas
Beaver Free Library were made to
representative of this paper yesterday.
Miss Eyer is graduate of the Pratt
Institute, Brooklyn, and is employed
at the Astor Library, New York. A
short time ago Miss Eyer catalogued
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's private libra
ry at his New York residence, and is
in close touch with the library move.
ment. Miss Eyer said;
LAS former resident here and liv.
ing now in the centre of very active
library movement l cannot help being
greatly interested in the welfare of
Danville's Free Library. The town
has been very fortunate in having pos
sessed for many years this source of
culture and entertainment. Mr.. Beav-
er presented the library to the town
without imposing upon it any of the
obligations for maintenance which ao-
company similar gifts from Mr.. Car
negie. The library was founded be.
fore the starting of the great library
movement which has established such
institutions in thousands of cities and
villages throughout the country. In
number of states now there are public
library commissions whose business it
is to awaken interest and to establish
libraries in the communities through
out the state. These libraries are
maintained by public money, procured
by taxation. And it is generally ac-
cepted fact that community which
maintains its own library takes great
er pride in it than one which owns an
endowed institution. Your neighbor-
ing city of Bloomsbury about year
ago opened library, the establishment
of which is due entirely to the efforts
of number of public spirited women.
Owing to shrinkage in the value
of the securities from which the Dan
vile library draws its support, the in
come of the library has been greatly
lessened of recent years and it has been
much hampered in its usefulness. In
its value to a community the library
is hardly secondary in Importance to
the public school, and it should there
fore receive cordial public support.
The work of the public schools here,
especially the high school, is we'll sup
plemented by the aid given to the pu-
pills by the librarian. Even a slight
increase to the income of the library
would greatly facilitate its work. The
library needs more money, first for
books. and secondarily to assist in the
administration. By popular subscrip-
tion but still better, if possible, from
existing taxes the people of Danville
could at cost that would hardly be
felt add enough to the present income
of the library to admit of the purchase
of greatly needed books and to proper.
ly make the resources of the library
available. Excellent work is being
done by the librarian, but with ampler
means the usefulness of the library
could be trebly increased. Especially
is this true in the case of work with
the children, for whom there should
be special department with refer
ence and reading room, exclusively de-
voted to their use"

some work to do in connection with
the Mill street culvert a coping Is
TO be Elaced on both sides, the stone
for which is expected to arrive in
few days. Iron ratings will also be
put up which will serve as a protec-
tion.
At the last meeting of Council it
was decided to heightan the retaining
walls leading down Canal avenu and
to lengthen them somewhat. The walls
will be allowed to slope gradually to
the ground and will be continuation
of the walls built by Mr.. Rogers.
Hand rails will be placed on them.
When this work is finished it will
greatly enhance the appearance OF
things at this point. At present 1t has
desolate and unfinished appearance.
1t was also decided to lower the side
walks at the City Hall to conform
with the established grade.

The Well Cleaned Thoroughly.

The work of cleaning the we'll in the
river at the Water Works was complet-
ed late Saturday afternoon and much
better water service can now be main
tanned Throughout the town. Over four
feet of mud, leaves, etc., had been
washed into the we'll and the removal of
this made it hard job. The men en-
ployed had to work in water waist
deep most of the time and the sediment
was obnoxious to handle. The work was
most thoroughly completed, however,
and the supply of water will be bet
ter than ever. This we'll had not been
cleaned for several years.
The other we'll, which lies IS feet
from the shore cannot be cleaned until
the river falls even lower than at pre-
sent. As it lies at good depth it does
not need cleaning as often as the we'll
nearer the shore.
