Good news travels fast, and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Danville are glad to learn that prompt

dies without relief until learned of
Doan's Kidney Pills and obtained a
box They soon cured me and | have

South Danville, on Friday, August ?.
Over five hundred people travel with
this big show. 1t has the finest of cir
Gus features and one of the best travel
ing menageries in America. Animals
from every quarter of the globe are
represented. There is hiena said to
be the largest ever in captivity. There
are real live tigers, whole cage of
them fresh from the iungles of India,
where their ancestors have supped up
on many a luckless native, and a great
cage of lions, baby lions and some of
them not babies There are hundreds
of monkeys to delight the small boy.
Those strange animals, the water
buffalo, direct from our own Philip

One of the noticeable features at the
grounds where the Van Amburg Shows
appear is the courtesy of the employees
Every one is willing and anxious that
the spectator shall see all of it. The
show employs only those who know
how to be gentlemen, and particular
care to ladies and children is the firsl
consideration of the Van Amburg
management.

ginning at and s p. m. respectively.

Country Church Raised Sll88 "a.

OOuulTN OLuICu hdlS6u pl1OO,Nft
An example of religious generosity
was presented at Strawberry Ridge on
Sunday when the congregation of the
Trinity Reformed church raised S1lSS. =
"a at two meetings.
The occasion was the rededication of
Trinity church after the extensive al
terations and repairs that have been
installed about the church property
recently. About $3.50 had already been
raised to defray the expenditures of
the improvements and the collections
of Sunday run the total funds for the
improvements up to some $1,000, which
will more than cover the outlay.
Rev. Martin Luther Fisher, of Leb-
anon, was the preacher of the day He
delivered two magnificent sermons,
morning and evening AT both the
services the church was packed.
The improvements at the church are
practically completed ana consist of a
new vestibule, a new bell; the interior
was renovated with fresh paper, paint
and carpet, furniture and altar were
installed. Outside concrete walk and
coat of paint adds to the appearance.
The Trinity Reformed church, of
which Rev. Kohler is pastor, has a
fiourishing congregation, numbering
about 220 members.

G. B. GRIFFITH
VISITS DANVILLE

G. B. Griffith, Of Los Angeles, Gal. :.
Danville boy, whose eventful career
is we'll known to the public, was in
this city Friday and called upon a
number of his old time friends.
AS is we'll known Mr. Griffith is
much indebted to this city. The full
story of how he strolled into DanviHe
when boy, poor and friendless,
many years ago, and was assisted by
kind and sympathetic people, educat-
ed and equipped for the serious work
of life is an old story and will hardly
bear repeating. Tie boy is now a
man we'll on toward sixty, although
time has dealt kindly enough with
him, his form being as erect as in
youth and his hair unmixed with grey.
Fortune has likewise been kind to the
man, for, Notwithstanding his trials
and vicissitudes, the fortune which he
amassed earlier in life still remains
substantially intact.
Mr.. Griffith will be recalled as the
former citizen of Danville who present
ed magnificent tract of land, repre-
senting large fortune in itself, to the
city of Los Angeles to be used as a
public park. He has lived in Los An
geles for some twenty-five years. He
left there about two months ago and
after wide tour of some four thous-
and miles embracing the City of Mex
leo and points of our own country he
arrived at the Montour house on
Thursday night.
He came to Danville from Kings
ton, Luzerne county, where he has a
son attending the Wyoming seminary
1t is tribute to true sentiment and
gratitude that the man after so many
years should visit the town where the
turning point of his life occurred.
His object was solely to renew old as
sociations.
Friday forenoon he was driven up
to the Lutheran cemetery, where on
the occasion of previous visit, some
twelve years ago, he caused a hand
some monument to be erected over the
brave of Benjamin Mowrey, who gave
him home when he came to Dan.
Vile, poor and friendless. While here
Mr.. Griffith paid visit to Charles
Chalfant, Esq. who is confined to his
home at South Danville. Mr.. Chal-
fant attended school with Mr.. Griffith
in the third ward, some forty years
ago. The visitor called upon several
other townsmen whom he knew as
school mates and play fellows, but
who now like himself are advancing
in years.
While in Danville Mr.. Griffith Wis
tied Christ Episcopal church. He
was delighted with the building and
took occasion TO remark that although
he had crossed the ocean eleven times
and had visited most of the great cit
les of the world, he had never seen a
structure of the size of Christ Episco-
pal church that could lay greater
claim to architectural beauty.
MIR. Griffith left Danville for Ash
land ON the ~ :57 d, L. q W. train
yesterday.

Refrigeratnr I,nnted 2nd Time

For the second time this summer
thieves have raided the refrigerator at
the home of George Maiers, Ferry
street. The theft occurred Friday
night.
Once before, several weeks ago, a
clean sweep was made of the stock of
food at Mr.. Maiers' home Since that
time stout lock had been placed on
the refrigerator.
The family had no intimation of the
depredations until Saturday morning,
when the lock was found shattered, and
the refrigerator entirely empty. The
thieves got a large stock of butter,
bacon, eggs and vegetables.

Will Arrest Paid Oboirs,

Tired of being prosecuted and fined
each week for violating the Sunday
law by selling soda water, H. b.
Kentner one of the leading druggists
of Altoona, proposes to retaliate by
bringing the paid choirs of the city
churches to book. He made known his
intentions yesterday, when he paid his
fine for last Sundays violation.
Kanther alleges that it is no more
an infraction of the law to furnish a
refreshing draught to a perspiring
traveller on a hot Sabbath than it is to
sing in a church choir for remunera.
tion, and if the one must pay fine so
should the other.
AT all events, it is his intention to
enter suits against them, and, since
there are numerous paid choirs and
most of the singers are prominent in
society he will have a. large field in
which to work.

The owner of the place that had
been invaded, hearing the noise that
the intruder had occasioned among the
fowls, unceremoniously opened fire.
MI. Evans, thinking that discretion,
in his case, would be the better part
of valor, fled
But the irate farmer, was not to be
so easily appeased. With the aid of
his handy rural phone, he woke up
every householder in Frosty valley,
and told each one to capture or kill a
thief, who had just left his place in a
buggy.
AS consequence when Mr.. Evans
appeared dashing up the road he was
greeted by a fusilade of shots at each
farmhouse. For five miles he ran the
gauntlet, and then was captured. 1t
was with some difficulty that he was
able to induce the captors to believe
that he was really not dangerous
robber, but only an ordinary, everyday
citizen, doing his best to get home to
bed He was finally allowed to depart.
