EVERY ONE ASKS HIM
HOW HE GOT RID OF HIS OBSTINATE
MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM.
Mr.. Jones Tells of the Way by Which He
Treated Himself Successfully
When Doctors Failed

Six physicians, all of them good, one of
them specialist, had done their best
for Mr.. Jones at different times during
three years, and still he suffered foar-
fully from the tortures of rheumatism.
The rheumatism that had been DOR
mant i'll his system was suddenly
brought to all acute stage by exposure
while he was drawing ice III February,
1901. From that time on for q period
of more than three years he was con-
slant sufferer. He tried many kinds Of
treatment, but the rheumatism wouldn't
bulge When regular doctors failed,
and one remedy after another proved
useless, many said: Il should think he
would give it up and save his money"
OF his condition at this time, Mr..
Jones says: my rheumatism started
in my right thigh, but III time it APP
peared i'll every muscle Of my body
lost the use of my left arm en-
tirely and nearly lost the use of my
right one. My feet were badly affected,
especially the bottoms of the heels.
When my right side was affected there
Was sNtIlluS, DuG tne leIt slue ulun
swell when the disease settled there.
The internal organs didn't seem to be
involved at all The trouble was all in
the muscles and the nerves"
Among the few who still encouraged
Mr.. Jones to think that euro might
yet be found was friend who had rea-
son for great confidence III DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, and acting on her
advice he bought box of them i'll Sep
TENDER, 1904. The story of what fol-
lowed is brief, but nothing could be
more satisfactory.
When I was on the third box, says
Mr. Jones, " could realize Il change for
the better. / felt sure then that Dr.
Williams Pink Pills were the right
medicine for my case. | kept on with
them for several weeks longer and now
I am entirely well, and everybody is
asking what I took.
Mr.. William Jones lives at Oxford,
Mich. Dr. Williams Pink Pills effect
wonderful cures in rheumatism, because
they work directly on the blood which
the seat of the disease. They are 500
by every druggist.

EIaCtric Bells a NulsanC e.

The citizens of the Third and Fourth
Wards, in the vicinity OF Center and
Spruce street crossings of the p. d K.
Railway, are up in arms against the
an unmitigated nuisance, one which
will not be tolerated.
Ii seems that the residents can not
become accustomed TO the loud and in
cessant clamor and scores of families
pass sleepless nights. When people are
in sound health it is bad enough but
in the case of nervous people or when
there is sickness the effect is doubly
distressing. 1t Is not disputed that the
very nicely at crossings situated else
where than in the heart of town. AT
such places as at Center and Spruce
streets. it is argued, they are out Of
place, not only because of the densely
built up part of town, but also because
OF the frequent stopping and shifting
that takes place on the block.
Ever since installed the bells lave
been busy the greater part of each
night. On Monday night, however,
they broke all previous records; at
10 30 p. m it is said, they began to
ring AMI they kept it up without a
single minutes intermission until 30
o'clock yesterday morning. Few, in
deed, found any sleep and it was an
indignant and weary looking lot Of
people yesterday morning that crawled
out Of their dwellings and took up
their days vocatious. The residents
in the vicinity are a unit in declaring
that the bells will have to 90. In all
probability the matter will be brought
before the railway company in very
short time

TO WNMEN IN
A RUNA WAY

The quiet village of Mausdale Mon
day evening was the scene of an ex-
citing runaway and smsshup, i'll which
two well known residents of town
came very nearly losing their lives.
Attorney William Ksse West and O.
p. Hancock, President of the Danville
aud Sunbury Electric Railway Com
panY, had driven into the country in
buggy aud were returning to town.
Besides our two townsmen in the bug
gy was large basket containing a
hen aud chickens. About 5 O'Clock
they were descending the hill be-
tween Bright's farm and Mausdale
on tho Milton road, when the breech-
band of the harness broke, which caus-
ed the horse to run. The combined
efforts of the two men we're unequal
to the task of holding him ana he flew
down the hill and past the hotel like
the wind.
The sight was thrilling one to the
NiAlhRFI-s as bllt llOl SO ldl tllC pukN1
struck him upon the hind legs. which
infused fresh vigor into his movements
and the further he went the faster he
ran. With the two men hanging onto
the lines the runaway horse dashed
over the railroad crossing, over the
bridge beyond it and had reached
point opposite the tank when the two
men abandoning all hope of stopping
the horse pulled him around in toward
the fence.
This move had the effect of stopping
the horse. but several other things oc-
Cured at the same time As one side
of the buggy struck the gutter it mp
set and in moment there was a bad
mix-up. The engineer on duty at the
tank ran to the mems assistance and
held the horse Mr. Hancock had saw
ed himsef by jumping bat Attorney
William Kase West lay prostrate un-
der tho upturned buggy, which was
we'll nigh total wreck.
Mr. West was assisted to his feet
and was found to have escaped injury
beyond few bruises At this juncture
some one thought Of the old hen and
her chicks, but all that had survived
the wreck was the empty basket. A
search failed to reveal trace of the
hen or her brood, which no doubt pre-
ferriUg a less strenuous life had sought
refuge in the tall timber.

Tuesday night, Ammon NJ Reader, a
prominent Irish Valley resident, Was
murderously attacked and robbed by
masked men.

Joseph BOYD'S
INTERESTING TRIP

Oar townsman, Joseph Boyd, return-
cd home yesterday from long trip to
the mining region of New Mexico.
Mr. Boyd has Travelled over thousands
of miles of the most beautiful and
productive of Uncle Sans domain
he has seen mountains of gold and sill
yer and has gained much valuable in
formation relating to our vast country
and its resources.
In company with Rev. Dunham, of
Binghamton, N. Y, and Messrs. Bak-
er. Scott, Blsckington, Schipff. Whit
man and Fellows of Scranton, Mr..
Boyd fifteen days ago set out for South
eastern New Mexico to examine some
gold and silver mines The party went
by rail as far as Silver City. Their OBJ
jeGtive point. however, was the Mogal-
lon mines in the mountains of that
name situated ninety miles further
on. This intervening distance had to
be covered i'll vehicles and it proved
not the least interesting part of the
whole journey. For two days they
logged along over country cut up in
to ranches, which but for irrigation
would have been dreary desert. Ov-
er the entire stretch they came to
dwellings at intervals of every three
or four miles On many of the ranches
small patches were under cultivation
and the fine melons, &C., grown as a
luxury, revealed the splendid capabil-
ity Of the soil. The buildings were all
homely fiatroofed affairs built of mud
and straw, known as adobe houses
They are comfortable, e,however-warm
in winter and cool in summer, and the
people who dwell in them are content
ed and happy.
Mr.. Boyd speaks very highly of the
Mogallon mines. The mountains are
barren and rocky, but precious ores
are every where in sight. such quaint
titles of gold and silver, he says, he
never saw before and he never expects
to behold the like again. The wealth
of the mines seems we'll nigh inexhaus-
tible and handsome profits are real
lied by the investors.

F. p. Llewellyn, Miss A. E. Llew
ellyn, Miss K A. Llewellyn. Miss
Y. NJ. Llewellyn, Miss S. E. Level
Ign and Messrs. Haas and Vought of
Shamokin, formed a party that drove
over to this city with two double teams
yesterday to attend the big auction at
Castle Grove.
As will be learned in another col
umn Mr.. Llewellyn purchased the
handsome body brake, which was the
source of so much pleasure to the late
owner OF Castle Grove. The brake
when new cost 81, 500 and is in first
class condition. Mr.. LlewelIyn also
purchased the four. hand harness,
which were knocked down for $3.50
and are considered cheap.
Mr.. Llewellyn conceived the idea of
going home in fine style. Unhitching
the two teams which brought the
party to Danville, and placing the car
riages in the Montour House barn for
safe keeping the four horses " ere plac-
ed in the our-in-h hand harness and
hitched to the body brake, after which
with the whole party on board, the
trip was made to ShamoEin.

Horse In Bad Position.

a horse belonging to George Fisher,
of Union Corner, which Lad been
brought to the stable of Veterinarian
j. 0. Reed, this city, for treatment
yesterday figured in singular mis-
hap.
The owner of the horse himself was
at the stable and in placing the animal
in a new position backed him into a
hole through which the manure is
thrown into the story below. The
horse sank through up to his body and
helplessly hung in that position with
his legs dangling below
1t was useless to expect the horse to
eAtricate himself and means had to be
improvised for assisting him. Mean
while the animal was i'll great danger
of sustaining serious injury and excite
ment ran high about the stable. A
rope aud tackle was finally brought
into requisition and thus with the as
sistanGe of several men the frightened
horse was slowly and laboriously lift
ed out of the hole.
The horse was not injured beyond
a few abrasion of the skin.

SENSATION AT
SOUTH DANVILLE

Had there been a dense fog Mon
| day morning rs is usual at til season
/ conditions would have been favorable
! for one of the most disastrous freight
wrecks that ever occurred on the $
| II. q W. branch of the Pennsylvania
| Railroad. Owing to mistake in orders
or misunderstanding of some sort AN up
freight train passed South Danville
and was on its way to Catawissa when
it met freight coming down the
track
The narrow ecsape was the principal
thNme of conversation about South
Danville yesterday. There were many
eyewitnesses of the affair and the pao-
Pile were unable to forget the dreadful
catastrophe which but for the turn
ing of hand might have occurred at
the very threshold of their town.
There was the usual congestion Of
freight at South Danyille yesterday
morning three trains in all. How it
happened, it is not our province TO at
tempt to explain suffice it to say
that just before Z o'clock the foremost
train pulled out. It went rolling up
the track and soon, cabOOse and all,
disappeared around the curve at Blue
Hill. 1t was ouly short time, how
ever, until the train backed down to
South DanviIle and was followed by
heavily loLded coal train. which was
undor orders taken at Catawissa.
The facts ms far as they Gould be
learned Monday are to the effect that
the up train was passing arodnd the
curve at Blue Hill when the fiagman
from the caboose beheli the down
train near Boyd's bowling along the
track with the usual good rate of
speed. Probably from the section of
track occupied by the locomotive the
down train was ont of the engineer
range of vision At all events he did
not see it. The hagman had difficulty
in attracting his attention until by n
manipulation of the air from the ca
hoose as provided FOR such emergencies
he caused him to look around when he
gave him the proper signals as the re-
suit OK which the train was brought to
a stop and backed down the track.
The loaded train followed very closely
and at South Danville passed and con
tinued its way to Sunbury.
Ii was indeed, lucky circumstance
that the morning was not foggy as was
the preceding morning and several
others recently. 1t was equally lucky
that the flagman happened to be look.
ing so far ahead and caught glimpse
of the other train. Had the down train
not been discovered where it was and
had it gotten down to Blue Hill ow-
ing TO the curves there it would have
been impossible for either engineer to
have seen the other train until the en-
giues were close together
