The dwelling of Abe Fullmer of Benton
was consumed by flro on Wednesday night
of last week. Tho lire originated from a
defective Hue. Tho household effects were
nearly all saved. The loss is partially cov-

Bendcrtown was a scene of confusion
and activity on last Thursday, caused by
the arrival of two movlngs, viz : Alfred
Gibbons and Ell Pcaler. Tho former mov
ed from Benton and will engage in the mcr
cantile business ; and tho latter moved
from Pealcrtown, or Forks, P.O., uway
from the malarial effects of the locality and
stream, and busy farm life, to enjoy a
moro healthy location. He lias poor
health.
Winter slipped and fell from the lap ot
Spring last Friday and broke his back "ga
slap." Buben Gibbons kept nearest the warm
stove tilts winter than ever in his lift) be
fore. He is creeping along in ngo pretty
lively. He is upwards of 72 years.
William Ipher complained of a cold

Buckhorn charge by the M. E. Conference.
We are glad that his health improved suf
flclently to cngago in the calling of his

bor. While he has not had the advantages
of a colleglato course, or academic educa
tion, he nevertheless ranks with the nver
age preacher, and is an exemplary mau.

Tlie Law of tlie Itoncl.
A ca30 was carried to Supremo Court a
few days ago to recover damages for in.
juries Inflicted by a collision of wagons.
Judgo Blddlo gave tho following exposition
of tho law of the road :
'Thero Is no rulo of law which requires
a traveller to drive over any particular part
of a public highway. Ho can drlvo over
the middle or on either side, no matter in
what direction he may he going. What Is
called tho 'law of tho road' Is that persons
meeting on the highway must each keep to
the right. This rulo Is modified in the
case of a footman or horseman, who can
not compel a teamster with a heavy load
to turn out of .tho beaten track, or even a
light wagon with a heavy draught. In
thoso cases, if tho horseman or light vc.
hide can pas3 with safety ou tho left of a
heavily-laden team It is their duty to glvo
way and lcavo tho 'choico to the more un
wieldy vehicle. Travellers naturally keep
as near as they can to the right side of a
highway, not because of any legal obllga.
tlon to do so, but because they aro then In
a position to rcqulro any ono meeting them
to turn out. They may travel on the left
side If they please, but then, It they are
met by a person driving In an opposlto di
rection, they must turn out. Tho obllga-
tlon Is not to keep to any particular part of
tho highway, but simply to turn to tho
right whet) others meet them." After
citing tho refusal of Chief Justlco Gibson
to allow tho established law ot tho road to
be modified by any parole ovldenco of local
rules and custom, tho judgo continues
"In the present caso the defendant was on
the left hand side of tho highway, with
room between him and tho curb for a car.
rlago coming In tho opposlto direction to
pass him, It thu driver of It kept to the
right. Tho plaintiff, coining from tho op
poslto direction, had a right of way on the
railway track, but instead of keeping on
that track ho straddled ono of tho rails,
having thus but one wheel on tho track, it
was his duty to follow tho 'law of the
road,' which regulated tho conduct of
thoso not driving on the tinck. Instead ot
keeping to tho right of the carriage up
proarhlng him, ho kept to tho left, and his
right wheel cams in contact with tho dc-
fendant's right wheel. Ho was violating
himself tho 'law of the road,' The Jury
having under these Instructions as tho law
ot tho caso found the defendant guilty ot
uo negligence, gave a verdict In his favor,
This verdict we sco no reason to disturb,
Tho motion for u uow trial Is dismissed.

Jacob L. Glrton has removed from the

ard Klcckucr to the Court to grant him n
license, for the Glrton saloon for the month
Intervening between GIrton's rcmovnl and
the expiration of his license. Objections
being raised, tho case was heard by the
Court last Saturday, a number of witnesses
being examined. In disposing of tho case,
all tho judges present, tho Court said i
Upon the best consldcratlou that the
Court cm give to tills case, and In the ex
ercise of that discretion Intrusted to us by
law, we have concluded to reject this ap
plication. The statute forbids underletting a licen
sed place. The evidence hero shows that
thu applicant has beeu conducting a sa
loon (In Espy) under a hotel llccusc,havlng
an agreement to divide the profits with the
landlord. We look upon this as virtually
a violation of the, statute.
It has been well said by counsel that the
Court makes no contract or prcarrangc
ment with anybody in reference to a li
cense. Without deciding any questions ns to
this house, wo are unanimously of opinion
that, under all tho circumstances shown,
wo ought not now to grant tho prayer of
this petitioner."

An adjourned meeting ot tho council was
held on Thursday evening of last week.
Ml members present except Sharplcss.
The annual statement of tho town of
Bloomsburg was read and approved.
On motion the Secretary was Instructed
to record the statement in the minute hook
nnd to havu it published.
As the council was about ready to ad
journ, the President gavu the following
address :
Gentlemen of the I1loohsdui:u Council:
Our official year as council men is about
to close. The statement set out by the
auditors show what we have done with the
people's money. Thcro It can bo seen we
borrowed $3000.00 and It also shows that
$8,105.82 of old debts were paid, but still
leaves outstanding orders for $2,000.91.
Last spring I recommended tho borrowing
of $0000.00 and the laying of a 12 mill tax,
that would have made about $2,500.00 and
would have left us In better condition than
to havo so much floating debt.
The main out-let sewer that was com
menced by our predecessors 13 finished
and in good working order. Public places
such as the Normal School, Court House,
Jail, Exchange Hotel, and the Sanitarium
besides a number of private residences are
connected. The convenience as well as
tho sanitary condition of thoso places are
very much Improved. Tlio street com
missloner did excellent work in putting It
through.
Tho constablo and police force have
faithfully discharged their duty and are en
titled to tho thanks of this council as well
as of all good citizens. Society has been
greatly relieved of a two-fold nuisauce
street broils and tramps.
The fire department of our town is com
posed of live and energetic men, as llioir
alacrity to respond to flro alarm fully
shows. They deserve special notice. Vol-
unteers for tho protection of property,
without expectation of any pecuniary aid
cannot bo too highly appreciated by every
one.
I think wo all have performed our duty
conscientiously for tho welfare of our con
stituents.
Committee on iiuIcn,
At the Democratic county convention
last year the following resolution was
adopted :
"Resolved, That C. G. Barklcy, J. C. Yo-
cum, li. 1'. Fruit, Isaiah Dower and Hour
MoIIcnry be and the same aro hereby con.
stltutcd nud nppolutcd a commltteu to re
vise "Tho Rules of Nomination of tho
Democratic Parly of Columbia County,"
and that they report to tho Chairman of
tho Standing Commltteu on or before tho
first day of April, 1885, and that tho said
Chairman call a special convention on or
before tho first Tuesday of June, 1835, for
the purpose of taking such notion upon tho
report of said commlttco ns may then bo
deemed expedient and proper."
This resolution was passed just before
the convention adjourned, and but little at
tentlon was paid to it. A question arises
as to whether, under tho present rules, a
special convention can tako any action iu
tho matter of changing tho rules. Chap
tcr S, Sco. 1, reads as follows i "These
rules or any one or moro of them may bo
altered, amended, or rescinded at any
regular convention, by a voto of two-thirds
of tho whole number of delegates to tho
convention."
Tho object of tho resolution, no doubt
was to secure tho adoption of a now set of
rules that could go into effect beforo the
delegato election of lids year. We believe
it Is impossible to accomplish this result,
All that could be donf at a special conven
tion would bo to recommend tho report of
tho committeo to the regular convention in
July, and the delegato election and tho
convention must bo conducted under the
old rules.
The committee should meet nnd decide
whether nny changes In the rules aro de.
slrable, and preparo its report i but it
would seem useless and idle to 'call a spec
ial convention that has no authority to act
upon tho report ot tho committee. Let tho
report bo mado to the regular convention,
Ceiitrallu.

Msssns. Editors :
I noticed an article In the Columhian
somo tlmo ago taking sliong grounds
against politicians electioneering Hint Is,
going from houso to houso begging votes.
I was very mucli pleased with the manly
course the Columihan took In this matter.
Now, who nro the ones really benefitted by
candidates traveling the county from
house to house j we answer, tho hotel
keepers aro tho ones most benefitted. It Is
expected when candidates mako their can
vass that money bo left nt the hotels. 1
they don't lenvo money or spend freely
they nro considered tight-fisted, and off
goes their head. If they spend freely nnd
lcavo somo money they are considered
good, clover fellows, and on election day
every "bummer" and "sucker" who loafs
around hotels will walk up and vote for
tho man that treats him last. The ones
not benefitted aro the tillers of the soil and
tlio laborer. Often candidates come to
your house. Of course you have to be sent
for, you como through the scorching rays
of tho sun a hnlf mile, you find seated In
the parlor In the shade, the candidate, to
receive you j ho tells you a good story,
then you can go back to your work not
much benefitted, hut a little disgusted.
It does seem to mo if nil this going over
tho county to get votes wero broken up It
would be a real reform in tho political
world. My idea Is, all who want to bo
candidates announce their names Iu the
county papers and all stay nt home and let
the people decide tho matter. The candi
dates will not bo nbuscd, as they usually
are and some monoy saved bv them. It
would be n fair expression of the people I
think if this rule were adopted. It would be
better for all concerned. Once moro after
a lapse of twcnly.four years the Democracy
holds the reins to steer the ship. It seems to
me the way Cleveland and his cabinet are
going to work, the white house and all
other departments at Washington will bo
cleaned up from top to bottom. Ourrepubli-
can friends feel pretty good over Cleve
land's election only those who hold offices
or expect to get one of course they feel a
llttlo sore in spots, r'omc of tho old bosses
feel sore all over the only thing know for
them Is to buy a bottle of Dr. Hawlcy's O,
K. Liniment and one of Mrs. Wlnslow's
Soothing Syrup, one to bo used Inwardly
and the other externally with proper care

Disordered kidneys have tho uutortunatc
cfTcct also of weakening tho vigor of tho
liver, ns Indicated If one has, besides the
above symptoms, yellow spotted skin, fat
covered eye-balls, frontal hcadacho after
eating, burning nnd itching skin, cold cx-
trcmctlcs, hot head, bad circulation of
blood, sink headache, nausea, light colored
evacuations, constipation, plks, variable
uppetltc and feelings, dizziness, blurred
eyesight, liver-cough, ague, chills, fevers,
wakcfulncfs at night, drowsiness by day,
etc.
These are somo of the commoner symp
toms as laid down by leading medical au
tlioritlcs, and witli them In view one ought
not to have much trouble in ascertaining if
ho is suffering from disorders of these great
organs.
These observations have been called forth
by a double-column article which appears
Iu another placo in this paper. Skeptical
of somo of the statements mado therein,
and at other times by the same persons, we
havo been led to make a little study of the
matter ourselves, with the abovo result.
These diseases prevail amongst young and
old everywhere, resulting in terrible nnd
untimely deaths ; they take off more peo
plo than epidemics ; physicians report
death as occurring from such diseases as
apoplexy, paralysis, convulsions, heart
disease, pneumonia, fovers, etc., when in
reality these 'disorders aro often secondary i
to Bright's disease and would seldom occur
were the kidneys In healthy working con
dition. Hence, from personal knowledge,
or from tho trustworthy experience of other
competent judges, wo believe thero is no
preparation equal to the remedy that is so
prominently mentioned clsewhero in this
issue, for preventing and kcurlng tho dan
gerous disorders of which we have written.
It has had an extraordinary sale, Is every
where commended, the record of its work
seems Indisputable, its manufacturers nro
reputed to be men of the highest standing.
Wo hold, therefore, that not to uso It, If
needed, would be n crime against one's
suprcmcst interest, especially at this time
when, threatened by a fearful epidemic, it
is of the highest Importance, according to
Dr. Koch, tho celebrated German cholera
specialist, that we keep tho kidneys, liver
aud digestive organs in healthy actiou, it
the scourage would bo escaped.

On every hand we seo evidences
that
winter is breaking up, and will soon havo
to yield to tho advancing spring. It is a
most important question amongst scientific
men who causes the general feeling of de
bllity and lnssltude so prevalent In this re
gion, wiiuc somo regard it as tna result
of confinement and inaction, others sup.
pose it to be caused by tlie decay of vege
table and animal debris which has accumu
lated during the winter. What is especial,
ly needed at this time, however, is some
thing to overcome these influences. It is
too iato to talk about the causes ; what Is
the cure ? Thousands of persons all over
the country who havo given Kidney-Wort
a faithful trial are ready to testify that no
other remedy Is equal o it for cleansing
tue system, purnying mo uiooa, regulating
the bowels, and curing nil kidney and liver
diseases. It Is in fact the king of all spring
