MERCHANTS MAKE
ANOTHER KILLING

The Recreation Reserves, of Blooms
burg, who defeated the Merchants by
large score. several weeks ago. sip
ped the dregs of defeat themselves on
Saturday. when the locals piled up a
score of twelve and sent the visitors
home mourning over nine large round
ones. Owing to the fact that due to a
misunderstanding. the base ball en-
thusiasts of town were not notified of
the game until Saturday afternoon, the
attendance was small. The absentees
missed one of the most remarkable g
games ever played on the home
grounds. 1t fairly overfowed with
sensational features, two base hits,
three base hits and home runs being
especially plentiful-and all swelled
the score of the home team.
The pitching of MoCloud was of the
most phenomenal sort and excited
round after round of applause from the
spectators. From the start Of the game
he had everything his way, not allow
ing the visitors single hit. and for
all the good the outfielders did they
might have retired without iniuring
the chancs of the Merchants in the
least, for at no time did the ball leave
the infield. The feat has not been
duplicated in Danville for number
Of years.
Mintzer, new recruit, on the home
team, distinguished himself behind the
bat, holding the speedy ones McCloud
tossed up, without seeming effort
Sechler was batting in his old form
and then some. He made two home
runs, and three base hits galore and
then stopped simply because it was a
shame to continue.
In the fourth inning in forced run
to second, Lawrence injured his knee
and was replaced by Rusty" Ross,
the old timer, who has his eye still on
the ball, and showed the youngsters a
thing or two lust for fun.
So much for the doings OF the Merch.
ants. Bloomsbury was inactive. They
were up against the McCloud puzzle
and before they found the solution the
game was over.

George Rockwell, who holds the con-

of a modern type very complex and in.
genious in construction doing its work
with rapidity and unwavering accur.
acy.
Next to the machine as an object of
wonder is the engineer installed upon
it-Cyrus Best of Northumberland.
The compleSity of the machine will
be understood when it is stated that
the engineer has no less than six lev
ers to manipulate all practically at the
same time. Two OF the levers he op-
crates by his feet, three by his hands
and one by his leg. He is remarkably
clever in the manipulation of the
ponderous machine and his movements
have a peculiar fascination to the eye
as he stands there by his engine doing
so to speak half a dozen things at one
time.
Some idea OF what is required of the
man will be understood when it is ex-
planned that when working at its best
the dredge is capable of scoopiug up
SO bucketfuls Of mud per hour and
this Is actually the record made on
Friday. This allows less than min
ute for bucketful by timing the op-

seconds were found to elapse from the
time the empty grab or bucket left the
dump until it returned with load
In this brief interval the set of levers
had to be manipulated so as to control
the ngine-swing the boom out over
the canal-lower the bucket-close the
grab-raise the bucket-swipg the
boom back to the bank aud dump the

The bucket or grab holds cart load.

standing the rapidity of movement it
will not be completed for at least two
weeks. This week the contractor will
begin the laying cf the railroad track
to be used in connection with the fill

until the last Of September that the
work of hauling cinder to fill up the
old water way will commence. Mean
while Harry Gaskins, the engineer of

makes his services especially useful.

A GOOD REASON.
Danvllle People Can Tell You Why
1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of.disease, and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out Of the body
the liquid poisons that cause back
ache, headache and distressing kidney
and urinary complaints. Danville
people testify to permanent cures.
Mrs. John Swarts, living at 211
Church St, Danville, Pa, says:
"Prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills,
Mr. Swarts suffered a great deal from
pains through his back and kidneys,
and at times he had severe lameness
across his loins. Although he used a
number OF remedies, he was unable to
find relief At last it was his good
fortune to learn of Dosn's Kidney Pills
and procured a box at Hunts drug
store. A short use restored his kidneys
to a normal condition and all the 9TH
or symptoms Of his trouble disappear
ed Since then, whenever he has felt
a return of backache, he has at once
appealed to Doan's Kidney Pills, and
they have never failed to promptly
Danish his trouble.
