hitch In ROAD
Proceedings

Exceptions to the report Of viewers
yacating part Of q public road and sup
plying a new cne in MahouIng town
ship were filed ON Saturday by the
DauyIIle and sunbury Street Railway
Company.
The report of the ylewer.-Georpe
W. West, Henry Simingtou and $. Y
Curry filed and confirmed nisi On
February ~, 1908. The road in cues.
tion was petitioned for by some twenty
inhabitants Of Mahouing township and
the Borough of DanviIIe, who repre-
sented that they Iabored under great
Inconvenience for want of a public
road leading from Catawissa to the
town OF Danvile near the property
now owned by Mary Shepperson and
to end at point in the same road
where it crosses the North Branch of
the Pennsylvania Caua}, the western
terminus being in the Borough of Dan
willie aud the other in the township of
Mah0ning.
That said highway between the point
where it crosses tie said canal and the
point near the residence Of Mary Shep-
person lies low, is swampy and at GER
tain seasons of the year is practically
useless and impossible; that by anoth-
er route the said distance between said
points could be covered on dry and
solid ground thereby making it safe
and convenient for the public use at
all seasons of the year.
The viewers in their report stated
that they had vacated the road de-
scribed above and had obtained = re-
lease from the State Hospital for any
damages that might rise from open
ing tile new road from Mary Shep-
person they had failed to obtain a re-
lease for damages but had awarded her
seventy y-fye dollars.
The exceptions filed by the Danville
and Sunbury Street Railway Company
set forth as follows: That public no.
tice Of the proposed view was not
properly given. That the road laid
out is an extension of Market street in
the Borough and is not laid out by the
viewers in accordance with the law
governing such extension. That part
of the road laid out by the viewers
and returned by them is shown to be
within the limits of the Borough and
is a street in tie said Borough and the
said viewers are without the power to
lay out and establish any such street.
That no notice was given to the
Danville and Saubury Street Railway
Company of the view to be had and
the said railway company having been
chartered to lay its track upon and
over the street and road returned to be
vacated the said railway company hav-
ing all necessary rights to lay its
tracks upon and over the same such
vacation without notice to it is in
derogation of its rights and subversive
of its charter.
That owing to lack Of notice no op-
porJunity vas afforded to acceptants to
appear before the viewers to show that
the proposed change is not needed by
the public and is wholly in the interest
of the State Hospital and made for the
purpose of eulargiug Que of its fields,
which the road now in existence di-
vides,

VOTE ON STATEHOOD FEB. :.

Form Cannot Pass.


Form Cannot Pass.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The senate
agreed to vote on the joint statehood
bill before adjournment on Tuesday,
Februar z, the amendments to be con-
sidered on that date under the 10
minute rule.
1t is by no means certain how many
states will be admitted to the Union
under the agreement TO vote on the
joint statehood bill and its numerous
amendments on February z. There are
prospects. however, that Oklahoma
and Indian Territory will come in as
one state and that New Mexico will
come in as another, leaving Arizona as
a territory.
Senator Beveridge, chairman Of the
committee on territories, who has
charge of the bill. comedies that in its
present form there is no hope for it's
passage. He says that his desire now
is to give statehood to the million and
a half people of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory at this time, and that later
Arizona and New Mexico will be ad-
mitted as one state.

Until very recent years it was
thought that catarrh was a disease
Of the blood and should be treated
by blood purifiers, but now modern
science has proved that catarrh is a
germ disease and can be cured only
by a treatment that will kill the germ
and heal the irritated mucous mem-
brane Of the nose and throat.
Therefore, when you have catarrh.
you can readily see that II you want
10 cure Il, you should use Hyomei,
which medicates the air you breathe,
thus killing the catarrhal germs and
healing the smarting and raw mem-
brane IN the passages Of the nose.
