F. 0. HARTMAN'S
EASTER GREETING

+. q. Hartman has very practical
way of observing Easter as it relates
to the employees at his silk mills. He
has never permitted his Easter greet
ing to be formal or empty express
sion, but has taken care that the feel
ing of JOY and real kindness inspired
by the occasion is attended by very
tangible evidence.
Our readers are familiar with Mr..
Hartman's generosity and his real in
terest in his employees as revealed by
the many useful gifts that he has Civ
en- them from time to time. Boys and
girls alike are remembered by Mr..
Hartman in the course of year.
Easter, however, in some of its re-
lations, is day that appeals to the
fair sex; it is about this time that the
thoughts of the young especially, turn
to tinery and the beauty of spring ap-
parel, which is just beginning to bud
and to bloom. The Easter gift, there
fore, that Mr.. Hartman selected for
each of his 250 female employees is
thoroughly appropriate in every re-
spect and consists of several yards of
taffeta-sufficient silk for very
charming waist. The silk presented
is product of Mr. Hartman's own
mills as far as the process of manu-
facture is carried here The weaving
was done in other mills.
The $50 waist patterns neatly folded
in snowwhite paper, were presented tc
each woman and girl as she passed out
of the mill before Easter. That the
employees, so kindly remembered, ap.
preciate Mr.. Hartman's thoughtfull.
ness and generosity it is not necessary
to add. Neither is there any doubt
that the employees will reciprocate by
rendering in return the most faithful
and painstaking service.
AS intimated above the boys have
not been forgotten. They Will have
their inning at the Fourth of July.

TROUT SEASON.

The Hazleton Standard thus refers
to a matter which possesses interest
for a large number of citizens: Next
on the pr 2gram for local fishermen is
the trout season and there should be
some good catches during the opening
week, provided the mild weather con-
tinues. There have been no changes
in the fishing laws in regard to the
taking of trout. The season still opens
on April 10Th and all fish less that six
inches in length must be returned to
the water, nor may any fisherman
legally take more than fifty trout in
any one day.

ASSESSORS AND
THEIR DUTIES

Today the assessors of all the wards
and the townships will be given their
books for the annual assessment Tbe
triennial assessment was held last Sep
tember.
The appeal will be held fer all
townships and Washingtonville bor-
ough on Wednesday, May /, at tie
office of the county commissioners.
The appeal for the borough of Dan
vile will be held on Monday, May
9th.
The position of assessor is much
more important than is frequently i'm
agined. The proper valuation of prop
erty, which is the basis of just taxa
tion, depends upon their fidelity and
judgment. There is no doubt, how
ever. that the assessors of our county
fully realize the esponslbility Of their
position.
AS usual persons who have money at
interest will be given blank for their
return of mortgage, judgments. &c,
subject to State tax. Where a person
either fails or refuses to make this re-
turn the assessor is required to make
out an estimated return of such tax
able property, to which the county
commissioners will add a penalty of
fifty per cent. in accordance with the
act of assembly.
One part of their work in which as
essors sometimes fail is the assess
ment of children of the school age
Accuracy in this matter is very essen
tial. as upon it depends whether or not
the school district shall receive it's
just portion of the State appIopria-
tion.
The act of July ID. 1897, provides
that one-third of the money annually
appropriated for the common schools
of the Commonwealth shall be distri-
buted on the basis of the number of
paid teachers; one third of the ap-
preparation or the basis of the mum

tween six and sixteen years. residing

ment as the assessment of the number
of children between the ages of and

quired of him under existing law fol

REQUIRES AGITATION.

The naming of spring Arbor Days
by Governor Stuart leads the Potts
vile Miners Journal to observe that
it requires considerable agitation to
interest many of the citizens of Penn
sylvania to bring them up to proper
realization of the object and purposes
of Arbor Day: Every year, days are
set apart by the governor for the pur-
pose of educating the young and the
old to appreciate the fact that it is
their duty to contribute their infu-
ence and labor to plant and to take
proper care of trees, and to prevent the
wanton waste of our forests, and to
replenish the denuded hills and valleys
with growth of trees.

The Washington and Continental COM
panies will take action at their next
regular meeting.
The six counties embraced in the
association are: Columbia. Luzerne,
Lackawanna, Schuylkill. Montour and
Northumberland. The next conven-
tion of the association will be held at

A Sad THOUGH
TYPICAL Case

A very sad, though typical case was
heard before justice of the peace Og-
lesby Monday morning.
1t is the old, old story of what might
otherwise have been prosperous and
happy household being disrupted and
made the victims of fear and denial
through the influence of strong drink.
The husband, a young man scarcely
more than thirty, was arrested by
Chief. of Police Mincemoyer Saturday
evening and placed in the county pri-
on. He had been indulging i'll one of
his customary debauches and had
broken the furniture and terrified the
family.
1t was difficult to determine who
was the object of the greater sympathy
the young wife as she told of the in
dignities that had been heaped upon
her, of her struggles TO keep the fam
lily out of the pittance allowed her, of
her fear and anxiety and the broken
promises of reform; or the young hus-
band, who admitted practically all as
true-who said he wanted to do better
who acknowledged that he had tried
before and failed, but affirmed that he
was anxious to make one more effort
to redeem his manhood.
The husband is skillful mechanic
and earns good wages. His drinking
habits were all that was urged against
him. Yet things had reached such a
pass that in her desperation the wife
had brought suit charging him with
wilfully neglecting to maintain her
and his three children 1t was plainly
to be seen that the husband, who was
a sort of man to impress one favor
ably, did not mean that such a state
of affairs should come to pass and as
he promised to do better one somehow
could not but feel that he meant all he
said and that better life will be the
result

Telegraph Rates Advanced.

An increase of rates was put into
effect by both Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies on Mon
day morning, April 1st From the
standpoint of Danville the Western
Unions increase in one way or anoth-
er affects pretty much the entire coun-
try, the old rate schedule in one case
only not being changed, namely, from
this city to Harrisburg, where the rate
remains twenty five cents.
From Danville to every other point
in the State the price has been raised
from % cents to 30 cents with a cor
responding advance to points outside
the State.
The increa over the old rate sched-
ule affects various parts of the State
differently. In some cases it is 66 per
cent, although the average increase
is probably about 33 per cent. The ad-
vances are on both night and day mess
ages in the greater number of cases.
An increase in the cost of running
the business is the excuse given by the
companies for the advance.

STILL TIME.

While the time for presenting bills
in the legislature has expired. they
can still be presented providing the
unanimous consent is obtained. That,
however, is easier to ask than to re-
ceive. Should any important matter
come up, however, it is believed that
there would be no difficulty in having
it presented. Some of the most i'm
portant bills in previous legislatures
have been known to appear at the lat
ter end of the sessions and to have
been pushed through.

Rest is the great restorer. We tire our
muscles by exercise and then rest to
restore them yet great many of us
do not stop to think how little rest we
give to our stomachs. AS a usual thing
no part of our bodies is so generally
overworked as our digestive organs. A
tired and overworked stomach will
give signs of distress to which we pay
no heed until at last Dyspepsia takes
hold. Indigestion is just warming.
and if we heed the warning we CAD
easily avoid further consequences.
KODOL is a most thorough stomach
relief. 1t digests what you eat and
gives the stomach the needed rest and
greatly assists IN restoring it to its
normal activity and usefulness. KOD-
OIL is sold on a guarantee relief plan.

DISCRIMINA

After mentioning the fact that large
appropriations are annually asked and
generally received by the University
of Pennsylvania, nd one or two other
institutions, the Washington Observer
wants to know why other institutions
equally deserving get nothing "On
what ground, " it asks, ''are these
universities entitled to appropriations
from the State that do not apply with
equal force to the college? All our
higher educational institutions should
be placed on the same basis The pre-
sent plan is not square deal. I"

ARGUMENT COURT
ON SATURDAY

A short session of court was held
Saturday morning with his Honor
Judge Evans and Associate Welliver
OH the bench. The exceptions filed to
the auditors report in re Danville and
Sunbury Street Railway company were
argued, E. S. Gearhart appearing for
the report
Although the sale of the Danville
and Sunbury railway took place last
summer the funds are still in the
hands of the sheriff. Ralph Kisner,
Esq, was appointed auditor to distri-
butte the funds derived from the
sherltf's sale. ". A. Heller, it ap-
pears, by virtue of his office as trea-
surer of the company, executed a
Judgment exemption note for $15OC
to his wife.
When the time arrived for the audit
or to make distribution of the funds
and the claim along with others was
presented Mr.. Kisner disallowed the
claim for the reason that the Danville
and Sunbury Street Railway Co. dis
puted the validity of the note in that
its board of directors had never auth
orized its execution and that it was
therefore fraudulent.
The latter position Mr.. Kisner
affirmed and consequently disallowed
the claim, whereupon exceptions were
filed to the auditors report by counsel
for Mrs. Heller. The court after list
ching to the argument Saturday took
the papers
IN case court sets aside exceptions
disbursement will be made according
to apportionment made by auditor.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Uncaasiug Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.

Their Unceas;ug Work Keeps Us Strong
and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
in the blood This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the back,
headache, nervousn IS, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, gout gravel, disorders of
the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir-
regular heart, debility, drow-iness, drop
sy, deposits in the ur ne, etc, But if you
keep the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Augustus Hawn, 327 Second ST., Hunt
ington, Pa, says: 1T was about three
years ago that my kidneys first began to
give ME trouble. The disease grew on
me gradually and constantly became
worse until it reached a stage of severity

came very regular and there was a hot
burning sens tion during passage of the

but nothing seemed to do me any good.
