A well known doctor says that tho fumes
of kerosene when a lamp Is turned low aro
likely to cause diphtheria. The New York
board of health a (ew years ago decided
that to this, more than any other cause,
the prevalence of this disease was to bu at.
tributcd. This Is given as accounting for
the fact that diphtheria generally begins to
spread with tho adveut of short days and
long nights. Children dislike to go to bed
in tho dark, and the kind mother lets the
lamp remain In the bedroom, usually turn
ing down the flame, so that tho light shall
uot keep the child awake. Many bedrooms
are thus serol.llghted all night, and the
windows being closed, or raised slightly,
the atmospheric condition Is simply death.
y. A turned down kerosene lamp Is a
magazine of deadly gas that the healthiest
, lungi cannot safely be exposed to. Ex.

A remedy for neuralgia comes from n
physician In Germany, nnd tho opinion of
several eminent physicians Is that it has a
scientific basis, and cannot in any case do
the least harm. Get unronsted coffee ber
ries, of best quality, Java or Mocha, and
get but a small quantity at a time, as they
should be as fresh as possible. At night
put a talilesponnful of the berries In a cup,
till the cup with boiling water, and cover It
tightly. Drink the water In tho morning
as soon as you wake. This must be taken
regularly tor six weeks In order ellect a
cure for chronic cases In acute attacks,
this beverage can be taken three times
day If necessary. Persons who cannot or
dinarily drink coffee, need not tear to try
thi6, as tho effect is entirely different from
that of the roasted berry.
There was a change in the management
of two of the Benton Hotels last week Wed.
nesday. Mis. Hess retired from the Ex
change Hotel, a houso which her husband
kept for many years, and for which he
built up, with her assistance, a reputation
second to no country tavern in tho county.
The patrons of the house will miss Mrs.
Hess, and her celebrated "chicken and
buckwheat cakes." But the place, passes
Into good hands, and the reputation ot the
Exchange will be fully sustained by Lem
uel Drake, the new landlord. Ho has kept
tho Ikeler house known as the Benton
Hotel, for some years, and he knows how
to run a hotel. The table will be kept fully
up to tho standard, and Lem's friends will
find him the genial host he has ever been.
Tho house kept by Mr Drake has been
transfercd toE P. Alhcrtson, who, nlthongl
new to the business has many friends and
possesses the necessary qualifications to
make a popular and successful landlord.
The time of the court last week was oc
cupled unl 11 Saturday morning In bearing
crimlnnl cases. The attendance all through
tho week was very large, and mo3t of tho
time there was standing room only. Tho
inennvouienco of the new seats became
painfully apparent. They are too close
together, and it is almost Impossible for
any one sitting in an inside scat to get out.
To bo sure the seats turn up, and if
everybody understood this and would arise
and turn tho seat back ns Intended, tho
difficulty would bo avoided, but if a man
happens to be sitting on the middle seat of
a row it is asking a good deal to expect six
people to get up every time the mlddlo
man wants to go out. For ordinary pur
poses there wc-uld be enough seats If one or
two rows were removed and the balance
set further apart bo as to leave passing
room between tho rows. The chairs are
very comfortable, and tho suggestion mado
above would obviate tho unpleasantness of
having toes trod on, and your knees
squeezed out of shape every time any one
attempts to pass you.
It Ih u curious I'act
That the body is now more susceptible
to benefit from medicine than at any other
season. Hence tho importance of taking
Hood's Barsaparllla now, when It will do
you the most good. It Is realty wonderful
for purifying tho blood, creating an appe
tite, and giving a healthy tone to the whole
system. Bo sure to get Hood's Barsaparllla,
which is peculiar to itself.
Election of Hcliool IJIrc-clorH.
As tho matter now stands, there aro two
directors to bo elected in the Bloom School
District for the regular term of threo years,
and four directors to bo elected to fill the
vacancies caused by the removal ot those
directors who had two and ono year to
servo respectively. Tho law on this sub
ject Is as follows:
"If vacancies are to bo filled at any
election of directors, In addition to the per
sons to be elected for the regular term, and
tbo voters shall all neglect to designate on
their tickets tho term of office for. which
each person voted for Is a candidate, then
the person or persons having the highest
number ot votes, shall bo declared elected
for tho longest term or terms; the next
highest in votes, after tho tilling ot tbo
longest term, shall bo declared elected for
the next longest term, and so on, till all
, tho terms vacant shall bu filled." As there
are six persons to be elected, each voter
has six votes, and may give ono to each
candidate, one and a half to each of four,
two to each ot three, three to each of two,
of six votes u ono.

REPORT OP OltAXD JURY.
The Grand Inquest of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania inquiring In and for the
body of said county, respectfully report:
That wc have, pursuant to our required
duties, investigated all bills of Indictment
presented for our consideration, and have
passed upon them according to their re
spective merits. We havo also examined
the Public Buildings and find that In the
basement kitchen of the jail a new range
and new floor aro needed, the wash tubs
and drainage of same need repairing; the
water from tub3 will not run away. Bed
ding for four beds Is wanted; a prisoner
camo in last night and prisoners had to
share their blankets with him, as there
was no covering for him. We would
recommend that immediate attention be
given the above, ns reports of same have
been given before and no attention has
been paid to them. The yard walls at the
Jail should bo put in safu condition, point
cd or painted, so that prisoners may use
tho yard for fresh air and exercise. Hie
heating of the jail i insufficient in extreme
cold weather: the steam generator Is in bad
condition, not giving enough heat for fuel
used, and is liable to give out at any time.
We would recommend that in place ot get
ting new generator, the heat bo supplied
by the Steam Heating Company. Uur at.
tentlon has been called to tho fact that
prisoners, male and female, frequently
come to the Jail, ih a very flflhy condition
and destitute in clothing, tud that some
wav should be provided for change of
clothing.
Wo flud tho court room In a plcasaut
condition. Tho offices of Protbonotary,
Register and Recorder, Bherlff and Com
missloners need papering. Tho Grand
Jurors' room is of insufficient size, and no
cess to court room is Inconyeuient. There
Is only ono Traverso Jury room, there
should.be three good ones. Tho presen
library room has becomo a coat and hat
room and is not largo enough; a more com
modious room should bo built for this pur
pose.
The offices of county commissioners and
of county treasurer ought to bo separate
and distinct from each other and tho book
and papers of each he kept in their rcsp ct
Ive offices.
Female witnesses are placod In a very
unpleasant situation, no conveniences
whatever. A pleasantly furnished room
w'th conveniences for women with child.
ren, dressing room and water closet attach
od. is badly wanted. Wo therefore rccom.
mend tho adding of a building of sufficient
size to make necessary Improvements to
the rear of the court house.
Ail of which is respectfully submitted.

The following copy of a portion of a
letter from Peter F. Ashelman, who had a
thrilling experience during the noted bliz
zard in Nebraska, will give the renders of
the Columman somo idea of western
breezes, to-wlt: "Fino weather here for
tho last week or ten days. Warm and
rainy, snow nearly nil gone. Wo had a
terribly cold January all through; also
some very bad storms. You have doublltss
read of the great blizzard wo havo had
hero some time ago. We have great reason
to bo thankful that wc aro all alive. Iam
nearly 48 years old, but never saw any
thing llko It before. I will tell you the
particulars of the storm, and how it af.
feclcd us. The night before the storm the
sun went down clear. Reece Conner and
his wife, from Holt Co., this slate, paid us
a visit. Wc turned our colts out to make
room for their horses. Wo chaltcd 'till
about nino o'clock in the evening when our
visitors retired. Shortly alter I was pre
paring lo do the same, when the wind be
gan to blow a terrible gale from the south.
I went out and saw that It was clouding
up. Soon after it began to rain and hall.
I became very uneasy about my colts; 1
was afruld they would wander off. Bo I
did not go to bed at all that night, but
went out every little while to sec whether
they were all right. Ntxt morning the
wtud was still Irom the south and misting
rain and snow and was quite warm. Con
ners were anxious to start for home as soon1
as posslblo for tear the wind would turn
from tho north and get cold. After they
had gone nearly two hours, I took my axe
and started towards the creek to chop some
wood. I had gone only about forty rods
when I heard a roaring sound, and looked
towards the north when I saw that the
storm was upon us, p.nd the wind blowing
a hurricane from that direction In three
or four seconds from tho time I first beard
tho sound every object was lost to sight,
and I could not see a step ahead. I started
towards tho houso but got bewildered and
lost. I yelled with all my might, my folks
heard'mo and answered; by that means I
got lo tho houso. They were nearly fran-
tic, for fear I would nol get in. Soon after
came in, two young men with a team
drove up to our door, nearly frozen, for It
was getting very cold. They had started
for Clearwater, lost their way and struck
our house, which was lucky for them.
They said that they could not see their
horses ahead of tuem. They remained
with us 'till the following day. I tell you,
John, It seemed as if tho very clouds came
down in sheets of snow. Tho storm struck
us between eleven and twclre o'clock x. m.
and continued without abatement until
three o'clock next morning. It became in
tensely cold towards evening, I coul'' not
feed my stock that night. Whenever I at
tempted to go out, I would shake as though
I had tho ague, besides there was dangei
of getting lost by going outside the door,
You bet I did not sleep much that nlght.as
I thought my stock would all perish. The
next morning tho storm had ceased, and I
went out as quickly as possible, and found
everything all right. You bet I was glad
Hut not so with many of our neighbors
Some had lost heavily in tho storm." The
letter recites further tales of suffering and
death among unfortuuato victims of the
storm.bound region. Peter F. Ashelman
was formerly from tills place and settled
in neorasK.
Thu accumulation of snow In our locality
Is assuming fearful proportions. Roofs on
buildings are beginning to break down un
der the weight of It.
Tho shock of llio powiler mill explosion
at Wupwallopen, from which tho packing
bouso was blown up and six men killed,
was distinctly heard and felt through this
neighborhood last Friday torenoou.
Another cold wave Btruck us Wednesday
evening ot lust week, on Friday morning
'he thermometer registered from eighteen
to twenty.tive degrees below zero at differ
ent points In tho neighborhood.
As moving lime Is near at hand, It might
be wise for all those Interested in that
ovent, to take the necessary precaution on
account ot tho condition of tho roads.
From present appearances they may be
rendered impassable, on account of mud
and remnants of snow banks.
Many cniluron in the country were
obliged to remain out ot school on the
ground that there Is an over.prnductlon ot
snow. Can'hungry officials dispense with
the large surplus of snow 1

Concerninc: Linens.
We think it wise to tell some
thing special about Linens.
1 hree main iacts about them
we want widely known :
r irst We probably sell more
lousekeeping Linens than any
other house in America. We
gather them by personal search
all over liurope. We buy at
the least prices and brine the
goods from points of production
with every possible economy.
A small commission is our only
net profit, and the retail trade
pets the full benefit of all our
(acuities.
Second Some prices quoted
lere are speculative, some reg
ular ; but a matching of goods
with prices in the whole retail
market will brine the decision
in our favor.
