Charles Reppert's Valuable Dog.

Charles III. Reppert. a Danville boy,
now resident of Paterson, n. j., is
dog fanoier of distinction judging
from the following from the Paterson
News:
Dog fsnoiers are daffy over Charles
Reppert's latest find. 1t is an English
bull terrier. American bred, and those
who have sized him up consider him
the most valuable dog of Its kind in
Paterson at the present time.

named Amateur Oracksman, and is the
son of Ival Doctor. Both are from the
famous Earlinton kennels of New
York Craftsman is a pure white an.
imal with solitary brindle spot be-
tween the eyes. He is about as feroc-
ious a looking beast as could be desir-
ed, bot in short acquaintance with
him he proves to be of tender dis
position. He weighs 80 pounds and
his jowls look like prize fighters
mug after a finish mill.
Craftsman will be shown at the ken
mel show of the Psssiao County Fish
and Game Protective Association,
and as 1t cost Reppert $1,000 to get

PAVING THE BRIDGE
IS UNDER WAY

John Ed. Foley, representative OF
the United States Wood Preserving
Company. arrived at Danville on Mon
day evening and under his supervision
Tuesday morning the work of laying
the pavement in the driveway of the
bridge was begu N.
The beginning of this important
branch of the bridge work was attend
ed with some ceremony. The two first
blocks were laid by Miss Eleanor
Wyant, the twelve year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse b. Wyant, Mill
and Front street. AS the young lady
was placing the blocks in position the
soene was photographed by Mr.. Foley
snH thus will be preserved very in
teresting Picture connected with the
copstrgction of the bridge.
The lay ing Of the blocks was begun
at the Southern end of the bridge and
vas confined to the trolley track in
oluding.the space between the rails al
we'll as the strip between the track
and the lower side of the driveway.
The track for several spans was paved
yesterday. AS soon rs it is completed
the workmeu will follow paving the
remainder of the driveway, which
takes in the greater part of the widtf
of the bridge.
Barry & Caldwell deliver the sant
upon the bridge but the paving crew
put it down on the floor as it is need
ed for holding the blocks.

What the People Want.

Conditions today in the art of en-
tertaining, call for man OF an an.
alytical cast of mind, who is keen to
recognize the unwritten and unspoken
wants of amusement patrons and hav-
ing recognized them he knows precise
ly how to crafty them. MI Howe,
who will present his latest collection
of new moving pictures in Danville
Opera House on Saturday evening,
April 29th, exemplifies this in the
highest degree. This is an age of
specialists, and in the art and science
of projecting moving pictures, Mr..
Howe is specialist par excellence.
However, it is not alone this that ex,
plains his great success, but because
he is broad enough in general expert
ence to scan the horizon of the whole
world, and with a remarkable intui-
tion invariably select and present sub
jecti that at once attract and hold his
great audiences in rapt attention from
first to last. 1t is because he eXcels in
selection as much as in presentation
that he surpasses every similar exhibi.
tion in existence His new collection
is brimful of interest and entertain
ment for everyb body, and large audi
ence is assured

Public Fountain in Commission

The public fountain, gift from the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
of town. went into commission Sstur.
day morning in its new position on the
Mill street culvert. An attempt to
turn on the W ster revealed the fact that
the waste pipe was not in working
order.
1t was necessary, therefore, Satur-
day to dig up the side walk and see
what prevented the flow of water. The
terra Gotta waste pipe, due probably to
the settling of the new ground was
found broken in two. The water W as
turned off during the day while a
new waste pipe was supplied.
The fountain was removed from i is
original position near the weigh scales
to the culvert upon the completion of
the latter last fall 1t is now admir-
ably located, convenient to the passing
throng, where no difficulty whatever
attends the drainage, while the hand
some ornament itself is in keeping
with the massive and we'll 6nishe d
culvert.
The fountain was started up none
too soon and it is hoped that it can be
kept in commission regularly from
now until next winter without the in
terruptions and snnoyances which were
common while it was in its former
position.

rlay Take Entire Family.

There appears to be an epidemic of
oerebro spinal meningitis in the
Wilkesbarre region at the present time.
Three cases were reported from Bres.
lau, Monday morning by DR.. H. L..
Whitney. of Plymouth, who was sum.
moned to the home Of Wincenty Dabi.
ozinski Monday afternoon. After
examining the patients the physician
announced that they were suffering
from oerebro spinal meningitis.
The victims are quite young. one of
them being girl of about 3 years
The doctor says that her condition is
critical and fears that she will not re-
cover. The boys ages are 6 and re-
speotively, while the girl is a little
short of five years. They were sud-
denly attacked Monday afternoon and
for time it was feared they would
succumb.
Precautions are being taken by the
Wilkesbarre health authorities to pre-
vent a spread of the disease. If any
more cases are reported strict quaran-
tine will be put in force. 1t is feared
that the disease will become general
at Wilkesbarre and that the people
will suffer an epidemic similar to the
one several years ago when small pox
was the rage.

REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION

HARRISBURG, April 26.-Without
the least sembIance of opposition the
four candidates agreed upon by the
Republican organization several weeks
ago were nominated at the state con
vention held here today. They are
j. Lee Plnmmer, OF HolidaysburR,
for State Treasurer.
Hon. Charles +. Rice, of Wilkes
barre Hon. James A. Beaver, of Belle.
fonte, and Hon. George B. Orlady.
of Huntingdon. for Superior Court
Judges.
There was but one session and the
business Of the convention was dispos-
ed of in record breaking time. The
program arranged by the party lead
ers semed to meet with favor all along
the line. for not word of protest was
heard or even a question asked by any
delegate during the deliberations.
Thomas Hays of Butler county, who
was mentioned for state treasurer with
drew from the contest yesterday af.
ternoon and as already stated Plum
mer had ver7 smooth sailing. Mr.
Plummer was on the ground for forty
eight hours before the convention au d
had headquarters in the Common
wealth Hotel. He managed his own
campaign and succeeded in finally
landing the coveted prize by uu-
animous vote.
Wesley r. Andrews, of Meadville,
who for years has been Secretary of
the Republican state committee, sue.
ceeds Senator Psnrose as chairman the
Senator refusing to again bs a oandi-
/ date.
The platform indorses the state and
national administrations approves the
work of the last Legislature; favors
the continuance of the present pension
policy advocates the enlargement OF
the rural free delivery system; ap.
proves Senator Penrose management
as state chairman and commends the
capitol commission for its work in
pushing the new capitol.
Because there were no contests the
convention which met in the Lyceuu
| Theatre at 10 80 o'clock this morning
was one of the shortest and most har.
monious on record but Notwithstanding
the absence of contests there was a
large attendance.

The Two Do Not Necessarily Walk
Hand In Hand.
High marks in examinations depend

Culture, Oh the contrary, is sym

realm Of thought and achievement.
Culture is a slower process and deep
er, and Its reward strikes further In.
Assimilation of the best that has been
thought and accomplished affects not
merely the BRAIN but the character
the whole spirit Of man. Culture
implies soil plowed and fertilized,
where whatever seed falls has the
better chance for growth. Informa-

primarily the manners and the morals.
A cultured gentleman has external
methods of getting on with his kind !;
he has the true sense of relationship.
the feeling that all he can learn to feel

AS TO OUR BOARD
Of HEALTH

Among other matters pending which
will receive attention at the next
meeting of Council is the selection of
some person from the Fourth Ward to
represent that division of the Borough
in the Board of Health. The Fourth
Ward for some time past has had no
representation, Mr.. Aaron Rockefeller,
who was duly elected to succeed him
self as member declining to serve.
The matter came up at the last meet. .
ing of Council and the mem bers from
the Fourth Ward were instructed to
cast about for some we'll qualified per-
son there, who would be willing to
serve. reporting at the next meeting
when an election will be had
The Board OF Health in the exercise
OF its official function has not been
heard from recently. Dr.. Shultz, Sec
retary of that body, was seen Satur-
day. From the very favorable report
as to the health of the town it would
seem that the apparent inactivity OF
the Board, which some have comment
ed upon, is due solely to the fact that
there is no occasion for any NEE tings
at present. There is but ore family in
town infected with contagious disease
of any sort. The outbreak in question
occurred on Grand street, case of
diphtheris developing four days after
the family returned from visit to
Milton. The little patient recovered
and the quarantine was removed, when
few days later another child in the
family was stricken with diphtheria.
The disease in the latter case has also
run its course and the card will prob
ably be removed from the house today
AS stated above this is tho only case of
contagious disease in Danville. Dr.
Shultz states that the sanitary condi.
tion of the town was never better,
thanks to the completion of the Bor-
ough sewer.
The prevalence of cerebro spinal
meningitis, which is causing some
alarm in other towns. is giving our
Board of Health no anxiety for the
reason as explained by Mr.. Shultz the
disease has not approached in danger
ous proximity to Danville and there is
nothing about our sanitary condition
to contribute to any alarm.
