We understand that Dr. Shattuck's Best Curo Specific for the liver and kidneys Is meeting with phenomenal success for a new remedy. No better evidence of merit Is needed.

Tho houso was well filled with an unusually eood class of people. The entertainment given by this company Is a very entertain ing one, the finale of the first part Intro ducing the funniest telephono racket yet seen. This act simply convulses the house. The singing was good, the Instrumental music up to the same standard, and tho specialties novel and Interesting. Mr, Junker's euphonium solo, the baso ball statue clog, Mr. McLean'? banjo playing, Mr. Plrrung's pedal juggling, Mr. BussclPs unlquo and popular specialty, tho quar- tettes, and, in fact, tho whole performance was artistic and very attractive. Slgnor Dawn's thrilling act formed a fitting climax to such an array of eood things, and the afterpiece sent everybody home In a good humor. The samo programme will be glv. en this evening. Columbut Evening DUpatch, August 20. A stampede occurred at the fair grounds last Soturday afternoon just beforo the be ginning of tho first heat in tho opcn-to-all race. After passing under tho wire in the first start, which was n false one, Jesse, ono of the horses in tho race, became un manageable and started on a dead run around tho race course, tho driver endeav oring vainly to stop him. The crowd standing on the track did not see this at once, but several In the grand stand shout, ed "runaway," and m an Instant the whole crowd was trying to get off tho track. Somo climbed to the top of the fence sur rounding tho grounds, many jumped tho fence separating tho track from the main grounds, and many ran through tho gato from the track onto tha grounds, while tho rest struggled and pushed to get as close to tho fenco as possible. Tho drivers of nil the horses in the race drovo through the gate at the north corner of the grounds. Fortunately, Jesse was stopped when three quarters of tho distance around the track and no damage was done. All lovers of good music should go to tho Opera Houso Saturday evening to hear the Gem English Opera Company, in "Bohemian Girl", with MUs Annie Mon tague prima donna soprano and Mr. Chas. Turner, primo tenor. Read what the Al bany Eiprm nl May 18th says of them: Tho best vocal music which tho Leland Stage has afforded this season Is the tribute which may be fairly rendered to tho Mon-laguc-Turner Company In last evening's performance. It relies for success on its vocal and histrionic ability. Tho company is composed of most excellent material. Miss Annk Montague is a soprano of good power, with n clear sympathetic voice of wide range, bhe Interprets the Bohemian Girl In a most charming manner. Thau- ileu?, the leading malo character, Is ably supported by Mr. Charles Turner, who has a splendid voice, and exhibited powers of high merit. Miss Zoo De Vielll has a con. tralto voice of force and good quality. The same compliment may.be paid to Mr. Con. eel, baritone, and Mr. Harmon, basso. All are musicians of note and long standing. They render a musical treat. Last night's audience were highly pleased, almost con stant applause and curtain lecalls at the close of each act. Tlie Bcliool Cane.

Tho Thlrly-thlrd Annual Fair of tho Co. lumbla County Agricultural, Horticultural and Mechanical Association was held last week, beginning on Wednesday and clos ing Baturday. On Friday It Is estimated that 16000 pcoplo wero on tho grounds. It was a moving, living mass of humanity everywhere, and policemen had to be sta tioned In tho Exhibition building to keep tho crowd moving In ono direction. At ono tlmo there was such a crush that clothes were torn,butno other Injury done. On both Friday and Baturday thcro was a rush for tha grand stand to sco tho races, and tt was moro by good luck than good management that many pcoplo wero not Injured In tho Jam. tbb BxnmiTS. Tho displays of articles on exhibition was fully up to tho standard. In the de partmcnts of fancy articles, embroidery, painting, and In tho domestic manufactuics of butter, pics, cakes, &c, It Is very evi dent that' tho dames and lasses of Colum bia county aro fully up to tbclr sisters any where. In the Main building I. W. Hartman & Bon occupied a large spaco with goods from their store, very tastefully arranged, con sisting of dry goods, crockery, curtains, coats, plushes, and much else, and yet not giving ono an adequate Idea of the very extcnslvo stock kept by them at their stores . J. L. Dillon had n collection of plants from his hot houses. D. Lowenberg's stnro was well repre sented, but not so extensively as In former years. Trunks, clothing, robes, Ac, mado up the display. The Woolen Mills reconsidered their first determination, and showed a fine as. sortmcnt of their fabrics. J. A. Hess occupied space on tho west alslo with a display of all kinds of shoes from his up-town shoe store. C. S. Furman exhibited harness and robes. Hartman & Edgar showed a fine lot of stoyes. Tho exhibit of A. 8. Truckcnmlllcr, of Catawlssa, attracted constant attention. It consisted of Japanese ware, some of which was very beautiful and expensive. Ho took a large number of orders for bla goods. Among the art exhibits were photographs and crayons from M'KUHp's studio. None better can be found In or out of tho cities. But tho great centre of attraction was J. Saltzer's booth. Here an excellent or. chestra, consisting of harp, violin and cor. net, made beautiful music, and kept a crowd constantly in attendance. Pianos and organs and sewing machines were ex. hlbited, and expert hands made badges and souvenirs on the celebrated White sewing machines, that were given away wlih liberality, and which could be seen anywhere and everywhere an tho grounds. Saltzcr never lets himself be outdone by anybody, and even tho brass band hired by a rival failed to draw any attention away from Jerry. In the carriage department were the justly celebrated vehicles of M. C. Sloan & Bro., nnd there was also somo very excel lent work shown by Stiff & Maloy, and the Scranton Wagon Co. Tho work of L. M. Kelchner, done with pen and ink, is worthy of especial men. tlon. He is certainly a wonderful penman. John Fox, apprentice to J. F. Caldwell, displayed some fancy cakes of his own make that would have dono credit to a journeyman baker. N. 8. Pursel snowed a box of bronzo horse shoes that betokened unusual skill In tho smithing art. B. M. Hess had on exhibition an inven tlon of his own a patent fruit picker, that ought to fill the bill. C Mcars & Bon had their washing ma climes on exhibition. It was not necessary to show them at the Fair. They .can be seen in almost every house in this section, and are growing In popularity. J. A. Owens, of Lowlsburg, showed a bronzo monument, for which ho Is agent. Many of tho same kind have been erected In Boscmont,and huve given entire satlsfac tlon. The Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines were exhibited by skilled operators. The parlor cabinet is a handsome piece of furni ture, nnd its manipulation changing It from a table to a sowing machino was wit nesscd by thousands. The Farmers' Pro duce Exchange are the local agents John M. Eves, of Millville, filled a space with carriages and wagons. II. G. Eshelman waa on hand with a fine display of stoves and ranges. A. Solledcr had a line of shoemaker's supplies. But to attempt to notico all that was to be seen in tho Main building would bo im possible. There were thousands of things of every kind nnd description. The prcm lum list, which will probably bo ready next week, will give tho names of thosn whoso exhibits the judges considered most merl torlous. I'OULTRT, &c. The apartments allotted for poultry were wtll tilled. A distinctive feature of the exhibitors was that they brought quantity as well as quality. Chickens of neatly every variety were on exhibition. Wo noticed that the Plymouth Bocks took the lead, Iheso area hard) fowl and doubtless our farmers know that they are tho most profitable, both for layers and for the table. The display of turkeys was good, in fact, the best In the h'story of the society they wero large, fat, and showed good keeping, nnd a dcslro for tho best on the part of the exhibitors. A pair of whlto guineas, large and fnt, seemed to wish to be beard, or to bo observed they ktpt up a noise at the least provocation. Tho ducks hud their place, and they kept up their former records for plumpness llko tho chickens, tho exhibitors look prtdo In bringing a large number, and all of the best varieties. In tho apartments allotted for poultry wero Beveral families of rab bits. The exhibit of B. B. Freas was fine. He had rabbits of all colors, and it was amusing to see them act their antics. They occupied two of the large apartments, The dogs also had their place. A fine large Setter.a Shepherd and her family and a Pug and her family, constituted tho varl cty. THE STOCK. The slock exhibit was not as largo as It should have been by tho farmers In tho county. There seemed, doubtless, to bo a backwardness, becauso of the exhibits from the stock farms. This should not bo. Our farmers have good breed of cattlo, but do not give tlmo to currying and washing their stock, as breeders do. Mr, E. II, Llttlo had of the Holstclu breed, one cow, ono bull and ono heifer. He has quito a herd of the Holstclu on his farm, and thinks them tho best. Tho three he bad on exhibition were fine. Tho Jersey, Graded Jersey, Aldcrney, and Graded Dur ham were tho exhibits of our farmers. Tho Graded Jersey and Graded Durham took the precedence. A. 8. Shiner, of Bedlngton stock farm, Northampton county, had a herd of Holstclu, Ayerahire Guernsey, Devon, Jersoy aud Swiss. Tho Lackawanna Breeders' Association, of Wnverly, N. Y had a special place for the exhibit of their Holsteln cattle. They had sixteen head on exhibition, Ono bull weighed 2055 pounds. One of the cows has a milk record of nearly w quarts, Theso cattlo wero admired by all. The ex hibit of horses wasonulto small there seemed to bo but very llttlo Interest shown In Half exhibits. In tha npartmcnts for hogs were, tho Chester Whltc,Esftcx,Duroc Jersey, Jersey Red, and Poland China, Dr. Gardner's stock of Duroo Jersoy showed good keeping. Among tha sheep wero the Southdowns, Leicester, Hampshire Downs, and Leicester And Hampshire Downs. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. On tho eastern tide of the grounds near tho judge's stand waa ono of tho largest exhibitions of agrlcltural Implements and machinery that has ever been seen at tho Columbia County Fair. Extending at least half way across tho grounds was to be seen a line of reapers, threshers, plows, binders, farm wagons, and everything useful In tho occupation of farming. At ono "nd of tho long lino Herring & Bav- ago of Orangovlllo had on exhibition a thresher and scoarator operated by an en gine. Near by J. M.

The American Boad Machine Co. exhibit ed n Champion rond machine. Corn cultivators, rakes, fcitlllzers, &c, were exhibited by P. P. Mast Co, Spring, field, O.

Tho accommoda tions must Increase with tho constantly In. creasing attendance Tho Bloom fair Is conspicuous In tho ab sence of gamblers and swindling shows. There were but few fakirs on tho grounds and no games of chanco. A big Oerman carp from fish ponds In Locust township attracted much attention, Tho Bloom band furnished muslo for the fair. Besides them, the Nantlcoko Band, Danville Band, Stout's Band, Shlckshlnny Band and Wanamlo Band were In attend ance on different days. Better weather could not havo been ask. ed for the fair. Although Friday afternoon tt was rather cold, Thursday and Saturday were both beautiful days. Main street was filled to overflowing with pcoplo every evening during the fair. Tho hotels were taxed to tholr utmost capacity to accommodate tho large num. Dcrs. Tho usual number of beggars were hero last week, and In different ways attempted to touch tho hearts and reach the pocket, books ot visitors at the fair. An old wo man grinding a hand-organ was to be seen at tho fair every day and on our streets every evening. Bhe reaped a rich harvest of pennies. Every morning train Into Bloomsburg on Thursday, Friday and Saturday brought large crowds of people into town. Trains were run on tho D.

L. & W. depot was crowded from one end to the other with people waiting for tho train. Every afternoon tho raco track was crowded with people, unablo to get Into the grand stand and anxious to see the races. If tho grand stand were enlarged this would bo remedied. The nrch over tho main wagon gate is a great improvement. Tho usual number of "Cheap Johns" were on tho grounds, and did a rushing business. Blitz, the dime showman, was on tho grounds, and had a stand in the main building at which ho sold a species cf Call fornla grass. Ho did a good business. Saturday afternoon between heats tho gray horse, Hopeful, belonging to Mr. John Hunt, was brought on tho track and trotted an exhibition half-mile.

Notwithstanding these facts, thous. ands of porsons daily jeopardize not only their health but their lives, and the healths and lives of others, by using articles in the preparation of their food the purity and hcalthfulness of which they know nothing.
