death Of
CLARK Ashton

Clark Ashton, former resident of
this city, has met his death as the re-
suit of an accident sustained while en-
ployed as brakeman on the ID. q H.
railroad He lived at Carbondale, but
was.brought to Danville for burial.
Mrs. Ashton, widow of the deceased,
who accompanied the body TO this city
Monday, stated that Clark was un-
conscious from the time of the accid
ent until death ensued. The last that
she was able to converse with him was
when he left his home, Carbondale, at
IL 80 o'clock, Saturday.
Clark, who was head brakeman. was
returning with his train about IL a.
m. Sunday. He was riding on the
pilot of the engine through Unadilla,
n. Y, when in some manner he lost
his footing and fell to the side OF the
track. The momentum carried him a
distance of fifty feet beside the train
and he was struck several times by the
trucks Of the cars in the train. AL
though he did not get under the wheels
he was shockingly bruised, the most
severe injuries being about the head.
He was picked up unconscious and
taken to the station at Unadilla where
his wounds were temporarily dressed
and from where he was sent on the
first train to the Fox Memorial hospit-
al at Oneonta, where he was Joined by
his wife Sunday evening. There we're
several compound fractures of the
skull and from the first the case ad-
mitted of no hope. Death followed
about I 80 O'Clock Monday morning.
Clark Ashton was thirty years OF
age. He was born in Danville and re-
sided here until last August when he
removed to Carbondale. While here he
was employed in various pursuits. For
awhile before moving away he kept a
store ON East Market street and manu-
featured and vended ice cream.
| He was an active enterprising man
and his store did not succeed to please
him. 1t was with the hope Of improv-
ing his circumstances that he sold out
and removed to Carbondale, where he
became a brakeman. He was highly
esteemed not only in this city. but al
so in Carbondale. While in Danville
he was a member of the United Evan
gelical church.
The deceased leaves a wife and al
adopted daughter. In addition to his
parents he is survived by six broth
ers Jacob. of Berwick; and William

A LASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim
Made for Deans Kidney Pills
in Danyllle

in Danvllle.
Relief from the pains and aches of a
bad back is always welcome to every
backache sufferer; but to cure lame,
weak or aching back is what's want
ed. Cure it so it will stay cured. 1t
can be done. Here's the strongest
evidence to prove it:
Thomas Lewis, retired, of 6l5 Mill
street, says: / can only reiterate my
former statement made in 1896 about
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me
eight years ago and the cure then
made has been lasting and l have had
no return of my old trouble. Before
using them | was troubled with back
ache. | used everything recommended
but got no relief. The lameness over
tFe kidneys and the terrible aching
continued in spite of everything that
| did and there seemed to be no relief
for me. | learned about Doan's Kidney
Pills and read the statements made by
people who had used them and con-
cluded to try them. They not only re-
moved the lameness and backache but
they benefited my health in general.
They also relieved the headaches to
which / had been subject for consid-
erable length of time. l can recon-
mend Doan's Kidney Pillsas reliable
backache and kidney cure.

Montour American,
FRANK c. ANGLE, Proprietor.
Danville, Pa, Feb. IA, 1907.

The fifty-ninth congress has only nj
teen legislative days left before 1T ex-
pires by limitation at noon on March
4th. In that short time vast amount
of legislation must be crowded hurr!-
edly through according to the pernic-
ious custom which the short session
has engrafted upon the federal govern
ment. Although congress has been in
session since December only one
measure of large Importance to the
general public has been passed by both
houses and approved by the president
the anti-campaign contribution bill.
To be sure congress found time to in
crease the salaries of its members from
5000 to 81, 500 per annum.
From the present outlook there is
serious danger of repetition OF the
experiences undergone in the closing
hours of the last session. At that time
there was such an avalanche of bills,
finally agreed to by both houses after
long delay, that the enrolling clerks
were simply overwhelmed and could
not keep pace, thus delaying the ad-
journment. If such a thing should
happen again this year the only par
liamentary resource will be to turn
back the hands of the clock when noon
of March arrives.
As the session thus enters upon what
may be called it's active stage the most
graphic and comprehensive resume of
what has been done already and what
remains to be done may be given in
the following table of important gen.
eral measures:
Passed by both houses and signed by
the president-The anti campaign con-
tribution bill
Passed by the house and awaiting
action by the senate-The bill giving
the govern uent the right of appeal il
criminal cases. The bill making the
free alcohol law effective The river
and harbor bill.
Passed by the senate and awaiting
action by the house-The bill limiting
the hours of railroad employees. The
ship subsidy bill (passed by the senate
at the last SESSION..
Bills that are apparently dead-Tht
Philippine tariff bill (passed by the
house last year, but held up in the
senate Philippine committee without
hope of being reported). The White
mountain and Appalachian forest re
serve bilD passed by both houses las
year, but apparently hopelessly dead
locked in conference).
The many annual appropriation
bills, diplomatic and consular, fortifi
cations, Indian. agricultural, naval
postofflce, sundry, pension, general de-
ficiency, ETC., are either awaiting ac
tion in one or the other branches OF
not yet reported. In addition to the
above are the San Dominican, Algecir
as and probably the japanese treaty
which must apparently wait until {
special session of the senate after
March A. There is also the Smoot case
which will be decided February 20
when Senator Smoot will undoubtedly
be sustained.

The ice man and the coal hauler are
both happy. The former because he

he can gaze upon the coal bins that
are being depleted because of the pur-

small boy and the small girl are also
happy, because they can coast, while
their older sisters and brothers find
weather delightful because they can
go sleighing. And the rest of US, we'll,
because it's the kind of winter that we
