"Hllarfy'' is a screaming f uce, with but little plot just hook enough for a lot of clever people to hang a number of fun ny acts on. It was written to bring laugh ter, and it brings it every time. Tho noises issuing from the Phillips Opera House last evening were not caused by any one being murdered. Tho sounds were screams of laughter of the audience that was witnessing Charles A.

Hereafter In mailing tho Columbian tbe name only of the subscriber will appear on tho paper each weck,itho dates having been left out. After trying tho dato system for fifteen years wo aro satisfied that it Is not profitable. It Is expensive to correct the lists so frequently, and then if mistakes arc mado we are nccucd ot carelessness. It ts found too that those who pay promptly do not need the weekly reminder of the date, whllo those who do not piy, are not reminded by tho date even If live or six years behind. It will bo a very easy mat ter (or each one to bear In mind whether ho owes tho editor or not. There was quite an exciting contest at the republican primaries on Saturday and In tho convention which met on Monday to elect delegates to the stato convention. A movement was started quietly to beat tho party bosses and overturn the machine, but tbe scheme was detected and D. A. Beckley was called home from Harrlsburg last week to take command of tho Quay forces, and it is evident that ha did his work well, for the convention was In tho hands of Quay's followers, nearly two to one. J C. Brown and C E. Geyer were elected delegates, and a motion to Instruct them for Hastings was defeated by a largo vote. Tho order has been sent from head. quarters that uolumbla .county must bo for Delamater for Governor, and tho dole gates from this county will vote for him in tho convention.

A Shamokln dispatch says: Tho situa tion among the Idle miners ot Shamokln und vicinity is now assuming a crisis. After being Idle three months many of thnm aro actually starving, with no shoes to wear and hardly enough clothes to cover their bodies, while whole families are without even a firo to keep them warm. As tho first of April approaches they fully realize that they must vicate their present homes or pay their rent. These are only a few of tho hardships to which tho miners and their families are now subjected. Dur ing tho first tow months of tho Idleness tho merchants of tio town gavo their cus. toiners whatever thoy wanted on credit, hut as the number who asked grew larger, many of tho merchants became bankrupt, whllo others wero obliged to refuse their customers anything on credit. They then applied to the Poor Directors for relief, but tho money obtained from that source is not sufficient to keep them from starving. tales of suffering and hardship havo been pouring In until tho sympathy of the people was aroused. The women of tho town held a public meeting and appointed committees to solicit aid, and established a relief station. Tho committee has done good work and the citizens havo responded liberally. The scenes at tho relief stations nro Indescribable. Women In tattered garments como many miles aud ask for shoes, stockings and other wearing apparel, besides something to eat. Children In their bare feet can bo seen standing on the outsldo waiting for their turn to tell their story of woe, and 'little girls can be seen every market day going along tho market placo picking up what vegetables may havo fallen from tho farmers' wagons. Tho peoplo of Shamokln havo donated liberally, but tho number of application s for relief Is larger thin tho supply. To. night thcro Is not a scrap ot food left In tho station, and now It looks as If tho re lief committee will be unable to reed all who apply for food unless thoy got assistance from outside. There arc many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the Ivory." They arc not, but like all counterfeits, they lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for Ivory Soap and insist upon having it. 'Tis sold everywhere. i:i.iah MUismjNiiAi.i,. Ellas Mendenhall was tho son ot Joshua Mcndenhall, and was born In Dcrry town ship on February 10, 1821. Ho was mar ried to Mary Barton, daaghtcr of Isaiah Barton, on March 14, 1850, In Bloomsburg. To them thcro wero born four sons and ono daughter, Isaiah B, Charles and Harry, and two died In Infancy. Isaiah died In 1877. They always lived In Bloomsburg after their marriage. Mr. Mendcnha'l was clerk In tho Register nnd Recorder's office at Danville when a young man, and after comtng to Bloomsburg ho engaged in the mcrcanttlo business with A. J. Sloan, and continued for several years when Mr. Sloan bought his tntorcst, aud Mr. Mcn denhall then bought tho property at the corner of Main and E ibt streets and went Into business by himself. Bubscquentl ho went Into partnership with L. B. Rup ert. He sold out his storo to S. II. Miller and opened a lumber yard which he con- ducted until within a few years, when ho retired from buslnc'8 owing to failing health. His death occurred suddenly on Wednesday, March 10th. Ho had been down town In tho morn'ng, nnd again In tho afternoon, and returned homo about four o'clock. Shortly afterwards he went into tho bath room, nnd hoaring a fall his wife ran In to find him lying unconscious on the floor. Ho expired nt 7.30. Tho funeral took placo Saturday, the services being conducted by Rev. W. O. Lcverctt. Mr. Mendenhall was a public spirited citizen. In 1850 ho and others organized tho "Bloomsburg Literary Institute." Ho was Identified with this educational move all along, and in Octobsr 1807 ho was elect ed onclof tho trustees of tho school, which had then assumed practical form. In 1803 the Normal School was institut ed, and Mr. Mendenhall was elected over and over again as a trustee, and held tho position at the tlmo of his death. Ap- proprtato action has been taken by tho Trustees In recognition ot his loss. In other public matters Mr. Menden hall was not backward. In 1870 the Town of Bloomsburg was incorporated, and Ellas Mcndenhall was elected the Hist President of tho Town Council, no filled this re sponsible position so woll, that ho was re elected In 1871 and again in 1872. Ho was a man of strong convictions, and ho stood firmly by them. Uls Judgment was good, and his counsel was often sought. His widow and two sons survive him. aiimiu ileum. L L.

Never beforo was thcro sho in 10 much interest In tlio Improvement of country roads as thcro Is iat tho present llmr, II U becoming n gcnerally recognized fact that tho blghwii on which the IrnvJ and traffic of tlio country districts aro done, do not comport wllh tho advanced civtltza tlsn of this age, and this conviction has been sUcngthcncd this wlntir by tho con. union ot tho roads which havo for months been subjected to a mud blockade. It Is easy enough to comprehend tho Inconven tence, but there ts no estimating tho losses from tho stoppages of trade, which havo resulted from tlio condition of roads rcn cred lmpssstblu by tho mud of this tin usual wet season. For weeks farmers hnvc been unablo to bring their produco to market, suffering a complete embargo on lliclr business, and when they havo ven tured upon tho roads tho strain upon thcli horses nnd vehicles and tho loss of tlmo havo materially reduced tho profits of their trips. Tho cmbarrsmeut nnd loss bus. talncd during the put winter from this cause, may, however, bo compensated by an Improvement of tho country roads brought about by tho peculiar experience of tho muddiest season on record. Tho necessity fo" Improving tho roads Is generally ndmitted. Tho serious question is how It can bo effectually dono without being oppressively cxpenstvo to tho farm ers, who, niter paying their taxos tariff and other kinds aro not In a situation to Incur heavy expenses for road makine. Tho present method of constructing tho country highways ts unquestionably n failure. Tho 8tato Board of Aerlculture's committee on roads Is engaged In devising a general road law for the Btatc. and Is being favored with suggestions and ,advlco from many quarters. It seems to bo tho Impression of somo that wo should have good roads without much expenditure of means. Whllo this Is Impossible, It should be tlio object of those who shall framo tho new law to produco tho best results with tho least expense. What Is done la tho construction of roads should bo done thoroughly, with tho InteHlon of being permanent. It Is tho necessity of constant n pairing that makes bad roads, cheaply made, tho most expenslvo In the end. Thcro seems to be reason and equity In tho suggestion that tho Stato should bear a part of the cost of making and keeping tbe highways In repair, as they aro not local In their use, but constitute a part of a general system of communication Intended for tho use, convenience and advantago of all tho citizens of tho Btate who havo occasion to travel over them.

The assortment covers twenty-six colorings ; a portion are stripes, 20 inches, at 40 cents; the balance 42-inch borders at 65 cents. Jacquard hVures and lace effects in exquisite colorings give the hue and style of silk rather than cotton. It would tax your credulity to tell you all about our Ginghams. We make and sell the best Shirts for the money to be had tn this country. 1 hat's the pith of the whole matter. Not a bit of guess work. We've seen every Shirt that claims to be best; seen the outside, which is open to everybody, and the inside, which only know-how eyes and fingers can truly get at. There's the test. It isn't in the cloth for any maker to get up a better shirt than we can for the money; our tault it we are equalled. We don t mean to be. We surelv are not now, lust as our Shirts of the past led competi tion in the past, so our Shirts of to-day are in the very front of the front rank. Crown, unlaundered, 75c. Crown, laundered, 90c.

Coughing IS Nature's effort to expel foreign sub stances from tho bronchial passages, frequently, this causes inflammation ami the need ot an anodyne.
