Mr. Cooper suffered severely from
kidney trouble He was so stiff and
lame across the small OF his back that

great difficulty in arising from his

pains were as"severe at nights as dur
ing the day greatly interfering with
his rest Dizzy spalls ware of frequ-
ent occurrence, and at times every

so irregular in action as to cause him
much distress. He used "a number of
different remedies, but was unsuccess-

Opening Bed of BliSzard's Run.

The ID. L. q w. Railroad company
is excavating on Billiards. run at the
bend of the stream east of the station.
In order to prevent the run from
overfiowing the railroad a oulvert OF
ample dimensions was constructed M
der the track at this point year or
so ago. South of the railroad, how
ever, where the bend occurs. the bed
of the stream is low and when rains
occur the water. instead of draining
off freely is thrown back upon the
track.
In order to facilitate the flow of
water the railroad company is deepen
ing the channel beside the track. Some
half dozen men we're at work Tues
day, the ground excsvated being load
ei on freight car. which stands con-
veuiently near on the siding.
Formerly with every heavy rain the
street and the ground occupied by
overs coal yard was inunGated. The
opening of the channel by the railroad
company will no doubt have the effect
of preventing flooding in the future.

MEETING NOT
A SUCCESS

From appearances it would eeem
that the mummers' parade, which for
so many years past has been feature
on New Year g day, will be omitted
in Danville this year.
gentleman who in years past has
always been II prime mover in the New
Years demonstration Monday ex-
planned that there is lack of enthu-
siasm at present which auguIs i'll for
the success OF the event In fact, it
would seem that the idea of holding a
parade this year has been practically
abandoned.
Meetings for the purpose of taking
action in a preliminary way were cali
ed on two different occasions, but at
neither time did the attendance ex-
coed more than half dozen men.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that with the dedication of the sol.
diers' monument, tho Odd Fellows an
niversary and the Six.County Fire
mems convention our town has quite
enough on it's hands during the next
several months without being asked
for subscriptions for the mumme RS
parade, which would require about
5000
This is the view taken by those who
III pIeNiouh years were th6 prime NOV
ers in getting up the New Years de-
monstration. The failure to hold a
parade this year, therefore is not to bG
attributed to any lack OF enthusiasm
or civic pride, but rather TO desire
not to exceed what is just and reason
able in asking contributions of the
public.
The time IS short and it is perfectly
clear that, unless something import
ant is done during the next few days,
a mummers' parade this year will be
an impossibility.

The following is from Tuesday Is

Much interest has been aroused

out the State in an experiment tried
| by Judge Charles @. Evans, of Ber-
wick, presiding judge OF the twenty
sixth Judicial district. He has sus-
pended sentence on two chronic offend
ers, several times convicted of larceny,
in order to give them chance to live
upright lives if it is in them TO do So
Ii they tail to reform they are to serve
six years each at hard labor and in
solitary confinement
The offenders nrs Charles Chamber
lain who has served three terms for
larceny and William Meredith who
has severed two terms Each pleaded
guilty few days ago of larceny, on
two counts.
JUDGE GIVES REASONS.
. On speaking of his experiment in
their case Judge Evans SAYS:
I'm suspending sentence upon Cham
berlain and Meredith it occurred to
me that perhaps the young men might
do better in the future if they we're
given chance. Sentences in the
county Jail and penitenTiary have ap-
parently done them no good.
Chamberlain has served three terms
and Meredith two for larceny OF some
thing worth but q few dollars. In the
cases in which l suspended sentence,
they pleaded guilty OF stealing from
refrigerators on rear porches OF resi-
dences. When they were before me
for sentence they were apparently
frank and willing TO tell all about
their experience in the criminal
courts, they come from good families.
their mothers being particularly estim-
able old ladies.
1t occurred to me that they might
have spark of manhood left in their
makeup and concluded to give them
a chance. Heretofore they have per-
haps received harsh treatment at the
hands Of the court. l concluded to try
kind treatment.
