crossing, Mill street. Later she took
charge OF the millinery department of
Christian Laubachs establishment.
At still later date she took charge
OF Patterson's millinery, on Mill
street.
MRS. Gardner was woman who liy-
ed largely for Others. No sacrifice was
too great for her to make. In times of
death, of sickness and sorrow she was
always the first on hand to render as
slstance and consolation to the afflict-
ed ones. There are many living who
Will treasure her memory for the good
that she did.

SHIPMENT OF SUS-
QUEHANNA SALMON

The big consignment of fish fry from
the hatchery at Union City arrived Mt
South Danville on the 7 30 Pennsyl-
vania train yesterday morning. The
fish were we'll taken care of, there be-
ing about dozen pers0na 81 tho sta-
tion to meet them.
AS might be imagined the banding
of forty cans Of fish fry entailed con-
siderable work. W. G. Purcell with
u. II. Schram aud Ge0rga STRIKE, was
at the station with his automobile and
nau ed away as many cans as eoul he
conveniently loaded. E. Ii. Miles aud
William Sechler took care of as many
as could be carried on their naphtha
launch. j. II. Cole, accompanied by E.
s. Miller, was present with his deliv-
cry wagon and hauled away large
installment. George Bedea, with D.
K. Eckman 8 delivery wagon was also
on hand along with several others, to
render assistance.
The fish fry, exclusively Susque-
hanna salmon, seemed very small but
were large enough. They were distri-
buted along the river at points above
and below town.

SUSPENDED
FOR A week

A special meeting Of the school
board was held Monday for the pur.
pose of taking action in q case of sus-
pension affecting four pupils of the
first ward schools. The directors pres.
ent were: Pursel, Orth, Barber, Burns,
swarts, Redding, Lloyd, Fischer,
Sechler and Cole.
or the four boys suspended three
were members of the high school.
Their otfense consisted OF surrepti-
tiously climbing up into the dome Of
the first ward building Friday night
and hanging a dummy stuffed with
straw outside the cupola where Satur-
day morning it was in full view from
the street
Borough Superintendent Dieffen-
bsclIer after some difficulty discovered
the names of the boys who played the
prank. All four were peremptorily sus-
pended.
The boys realized that action of the
board would be necessary before they
could be reinstated and not wishing to
remain out of school until the regular
meeting, next Monday, by personally
visiting the members Monday they
prevailed upon them to hold special
meeting Monday night.
The four boys in a very peniteut
frame of mind were present at the
meeting and made a clean breast of
the whole affair. If clemency was what
they were after they did not obtain it
in a very pronounced degree, as the
board on motion decided to sustain the
borough superintendent and the boys
will have to remain out of school for
the entire week.

AWAI1lN j
THE PROGRAM

There is pobably no event that has
ever taken place in Dapville in which
the public manifested deeper interest
than in the unveiling OF the soldiers
monument, which will take place in
Memorial park.on Monday. May 3lst.
all OF which is very natural consider
ing that the stately memorial so long
a dream whose realization seemed un-
certain at last after untiring effort and
great sacrifice has become an accom- p
plished fact.
AS the time for the unveiling draws
highland it is less than two weeks
distant-there is much curiosity to
learn something about the program for
the event. Inquiries are made daily.
Danville is assured that the dav will
be one of the biggest and most sig
niticant in its history None of the facts
concerning the unveiling have as vet
been officially given out. but many
features Of the program-which is be-
ing arranged with much deliberation
and care-seem to be already known
to the public.
Adjutant General Thomas J. Stew
art of Norristown will deliver the
principal address.
The music as planned will constitute
a most inspiring feature. In addition
TO the massed choirs. of which men
tion was made in a recent issue, the
Northumberland and the Catawissa
bands will be In attendance, the form
er being an organization of thirty
eight pieces and the latter of thirty
pieces. 1t is planned to retain the
bands in town during the evening and
concerts are planned for each at op.
posite ends of town.
The parade will no doubt be a stu
pendous affair, comprising, besides a
battalion of the national guard. the
Grand Army of the Republic, the Sons
of Veterans the pupils of the public
and parochial schools. the P. o. S. of
A. and other secret and civic organ
izations.
DR.. p. @. Newbaker has been chosen

BUSINESS MANS
SUGGESTION

Notwithstanding the lack of assist.
ance from the proper source the citi.
zens of Gearhart township acting on
their own responsibility have succeed.
ed in building up fairly good ap-
proach to the river bridge at South
Danville.
The dust, however, proves to be the
same bad factor that it was in the
past If this nuisance could be abat-
ted the residents would have a pretty
good return for their work on the an.
proach, much of which was done
gratuitously.
Under the heavy and constant traffic
dust accumulated rapidly aud in q dsv
or so after rain, no matter how
heavy, it lies a couple of inches deem
not only on the approach proper but
also on the roadways leading over the
crossing and down to the station.
There is no water available for sprinkl-
ing and there is simply no relief.
Automobiles and other vehicles as they
strike the approach are enveloped in a
cloud of dust, which is blown this way
and that by the winds, covering those
travelling on foot and entering the
dwellings and business houses. Ii is
Enthusiastically the dustiest spot in this
section.
business man of the south side
Tuesday proposed remedy which, if
adopted, would bring relief at small
cost. He proposed spraying the bridge
approach and roadway adjacent with
oil. In the light of experiments there
is no question as to the efficacy of
oil, not only in fully preventing dust,
but also in reducing the wear of the
roadway to minimum. A couple of
applications during the course OF the
summer would suffice. All the dust
aooumulates on a small section and
only little oil would be required
The cost would be so insignificant
that, should the township authorities
refuse to oil the street, the residents
and those who frequently use the ap-
proach could we'll afford to chip in,
purchasing the oil necessary aud
sprinkling the street. The dust is so
much of nuisance and the end sought
so much to be desired that there should
be no difficulty in interesting large
number of persons, i, they be rightly
approached. All that is needed is for
some one to take hold of the matter.

HOSPITALS
APPROPRIATION

Governor Stuart on Saturday added
his signature to the bill appropriating
$l5S, 7S3. 90 to the Danville hospital for
the insane, the full amount contained
in the measure as adopted by both
senate and house at the recent session
of the legislature. The fact that the
governor signed the Danville appro
priation bill without any reductions
| is particularly notable in view of the
wholesale pruning to which the whole
batch of appropriation bills we're sub
mitted.
The bill for the Danville institution
as originally introduces in the house
by Representative Il. Scott Ammer-
man provided for an amount of SIPS,
1888. This was amended in the senate
and raised to $l5S, 783, the additional
$50. 600 being for the Purchasing of
additional real estate consisting of
about one hundred and seventy five
acres OF land contiguous to that now
owned by the Commonwealth. "
ITEMS PROVIDED FOR
IN THE BILL.
The items that are provided for in
the bill are: An additional story to
the male infirmary, $40, 900; renovat-
ing the heating in the old building,
$50 600; erecting and completing
building for the male empolyes, $780,
600; for erecting and completing COW
shed, s3 600; for a coal siding 80, 500;
for providing additional means for the
disposal Of sewage, S25, 900; for fire in
suranee, $40, 900; for extending and
changing course of natural stream up
on the grounds, 81, 600.
$1,000. 900 SPENT IN SIX YEARS.
The present appropriation will make
the hospital grounds centre of con-
structive energy for several years, as
it has been for number Of years past /
in this bill will now euable the di-
rectors to put the finishing touches or
a number of improvements and in a
way to complete the work already be-
gun.
There are few people who have an
idea of the vast amounts that are be-
ing expended at the local institution.
In the past six years and including the
present, the grand total of the Iegisla-
ture's appropriations to the hospital
foot up to nearly a million of dollars,
A very large proportion of which has
been directed into sources that would
benefit the people of Danville and VIC
unity.
Since and including the session of
1908 the amounts appropriated to the
hospital have been: 1908, 1921, 300;
1905, S2O4. 200, 1907, 1929. 300; 1909,
sl5S, 7S3 aud a deficiency item of $l0.-
200, making total of 1928, 3S3
In this connection is it but just to
Jay that large share Of the credit for
his great service to the institution
md the town is due TO Montour's rep
esetative in the Legislature, r. Scott
\ zimmerman, whose work as solicitor
or the board of directors of the hos
'ital and untiring labor on the floor
# the house in fighting the bills
trough the legislature have been re-
ponsible or the States tardy recongi-
ion of the needs of the local institu-
ion. :
