D. 4. s. FOOT BALL
TEAM DEFEATED

The Dsnville II. 8. foot ball team
was defeated Saturday afternoon at
DeWitt's Park by the team representing
the Bloomsbury High School, in q
hard fought game that reflected upon
the local eleven nothing but glory.
Danville played their opponents to
q standstill throughout both halves, 1t
being in the last few minutes of the
second half that Bloomsburg was able
to score, and then by reason of lit
tie hard luck coupled with a slight
misjudgment on the part of the Dan
VILE team in rushing the ball when a
kick might have taken the pig skin off
of dangerous ground.
Both the offensive and defensi We
playing of the High School team sur
passed the fondest hopes not only of
the ooaohers, but of the players them.
selves. They did not know how strong
they were. During the FIRST few min
utes of play Bloomsbury seemed to
gain ground at will, but the stage
fright soon wore Off, and the d. Ii. s.
line was practically impiegnable. AT.
ter this it was only by end runs that
Bloomsbury could consistently ad-
vance the ball.
Some hard practice will be given
the team this week, and an endeavol
made to eliminate the faults shown
in Saturdays play.

new METHOD
OF SOLICITING

The Soldiers Monument Committee
from now on will adopt new method
in the soliciting OF funds. The solicit
ors have carried the house to house
canvass to what they consider the
limit, having approached as many
heads of families as possible. The
large number that they were unable
to see are men employed at our various
industries, working either on day or
night turn. The object now is to
meet these men and the following plan
has been decided upon.
II agreeable to the management the
committee will visit the men at the
various works in town, selecting as
far as possible the noon hour or some
other period that will interfere little
or not ut all with the work.
The Danville Stove and Manufactur'
ing Company was the one to take the
initiative in the matter and the com
mittee was given full permission te
enter the works. The committee has
already oanvassed several departments
of the Stove Works, but it has the
foundry yet to see. The noon houl
will be employed during some day thii
week in soliciting from the moulders
The Committee is much gIatified al
the success attending this method al
see IN it solution Of the whole diff
Guilty of raising money needed for the
Soldiers Monument. They have hopes
that. those in charge of the other IN
dustries of town will follow the ex
ample of General Manager W. A
Seohlor aud graoiously permit the 80
licitors to see the employees at the
works, which is about the only time
that many of these capable and gener
ous fellows can be seen by the com
mittee.
Hon. James Foster. President of thu
Soldiers Monument Committee, state
that it was decided at the last meeting
to print later on the full list OF con
tributors to the monument fund in th
daily newspaper.

State BOARD
APPEALED TO

DIR. p %. Newbaker, President of
the Board of Health, was interviewed
yeste erday ON the subject of the old
canal, which occupied so much time
before Council at its last session. His
attention was called to the action of
Council requesting the local Board of
Health to take cognizance OF the un-
healthful condition of the old water
way and to lay the matter before the
State Board Of Health.
DIR. New baker stated that already on
two occasions the local Board of
Health had declared the old canal a
nuisance, which seemed to be the linn
it of their action. In the present in
stance tho local Board have gone fur
ther and forwarded communication
to the State Board of Health, appris-
ing that body OF the action of Council
Friday night and asking for enlight-
eminent as to what further action
would be advisable in the premises.
A reply is awaited with good deal
! OF interest.
1t seems pretty evident that from
now on the canal matter will be agi-
tated pretty vigorously. The nuis.
ance in the vicinity of Mill street is
bad enough, but it is no comparison
to conditions which exist at the up
per end of the Borough, where the
bottom of the canal is filled with sew
age which impIegnates the atmosphere
all along its course, A member OF
Conncil is authority for the state
ment that at the next term the old
canal will be returned to court as q
nuisance by the constables of each OF
the wards by which it is intersccted.

No New Cases, But
Two Deaths Yesterday

NANTICOKE, Oct. 1.-THE epi-
demic at this place seems to be getting
under control as there were no new
cases reported today There we're two
deaths reported but they were of long
standing when admitted. One of the
patients was in a hopeless condition
when taken in few days ago. John
Syzmanski and Stanley Tanna, these
as stated above were old cases when
admitted, are the deaths reported.
Nicholas Horn was admitted today
but this case also is old, having been
affected over three weeks. This leaves
the epidemic without reported case
for the last thirty.six hours.
. DR.. Johnson, in an interview today,
expressed the most sanguine hopes that
the dread malady has been checked.
The doctor emphasized the fact that
the epidemic had taken good hold
when he took charge and that it takes
time to wipe out contsgion that had
been allowed to flourish so long.

The Puerto Rico Eagle unde. date
of September 18th, prints an article
relating to John A. Beaver, formerly
OF Danville. that will be read with in
terest by Mr.. Beavers many friends
in this city
Mr.. Beaver has been at San Juan for

lows:
"San Juan. September 17.-Mr. John
A. Beaver, proprietor of the Hotel Las
Palmas, for several weeks has been
negotiating to acquire the lease of
the Hotel Olimpo property. He ex-
poets to receive definite word from the
owners in Spain by the next mail, and
if ne can secure the property he says
he intends Immediately to renovate
the establishment and have it ready
for occupancy OIL December first.
"It is Mr.. Beavers plan to run the
establishment on American principles.
and as DO other hotel has ever been
conducted thus in Puerto Rico, it will
be marked innovation. There are 56
rooms in the hotel and these are to be
furnished new throughout. The
kiosko is to be converted into bill.
lard hall, the yard is to be cleaned up
and the grounds made as attractive as
possible. And, what is perhaps more
important, the cuisine is to be under
the direction of an experienced chef
who will be brought from New York.
"Mr. Beaver. if he receives favor.
able advioes from Spain, will leave
for New York at once to purchase the
furniture. He will continue Las
Palmas.

preparing for rush this winter, and
it is probable that more tourists will
visit the island than ever before "
