SrssciirTicm-i.ona year, In advance, $1.!K f not paid In advance. All communications should be oddrewted to TUK COLUMBIAN, Bloomshiirg, Pa FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER $, 1891. Ex-Congressman William L. Scott, of Erie, died at Newport last Satur day. He was one of the most promt nent democrats in the State. All preliminary steps for the nomi nation of delegates to the constitution al convention must be taken, the same as though that convention wer.j a fixed fact. In the selection of two dole gates from this Senatorial district, by tne Democratic t-onterence soon to assemble, Columbia county is just as much entitled to one of them as any other county in the district. Her can didate, Hon. A. L. Fritz, has had val uable experience as member of tne Legislature for two terms, which makes him well qualified for the position. Turn On The Light- WBBBawk Up to the time of the hearing before Judges Fell and Gordon on the charges against Auditor General McCamant, the recent exposures of corrupt practice in office related only to officials in Philadelphia. Late Treasur er Bards ley and the Mercantile Appraisers only were proceeded against criminally. In those exposures the people outside of Philadelphia therefore have not taken the intense interest that must be ex cited by the charges now made affect ing the office of the Auditor General of the State At the recent hearing before the two judges it was developed that District Attorney Graham is in possession of most damaging proof of official unfaithful ness. The evidence consists of book entries and checks made by Bardsley, and letters writtten by Audi tor' General McCamant and Mr. Livsey to Bardsley. Bardsley in the criminal proceeding refuses to answer any questions relating to tnesc checks and entries ; declaring that his "self respect and regard for his family" for bid his making any further disclosures. Auditor General McCamant the only witness to the facts can not be called as a witness against himself, and hence, as a legal prosecution, the pro ceeding falls for the time being. Now, however, let the People of Pennsylva nia have the facts. Let the suspect ed State officials be arraigned before the bar of public opinion. What are the accounts and entries in Bardsley's hand writing which he refuses even to look at in court ? Let the public see the McCamant and Livsey letters all of them. ' " ' " ' While the law permits the Auditor General to be silent in a legal proceed ing, the people whose servant he is, have a right to demand that he shall speak. Did Mr. McCamant receive $7154,42 from Bardsley, as shown in his accounts ? If so where did the money come from, and what was it paid for ? What say you, Mr. Auditor General? What were the "favors you received" from Mr. Bardsley for which you thank him in your letters, corresponding in date with the mys terious Bardsley check stubs? Did District Attorney Graham present to Judges Fell and Gordon all of the Mc Camant letters he had before him? The people of the state are entitled to know all that can be known on the question of the integrity of the state officials. If it be true that the corrup tion that has overwhelmed the public service in Philadelphia extends to State officials, the people have a right to know that fact, and to know it now. Let there be neither concealment or delay in this mattter. Speak out, gen tlemen. The Danville Fair. The a 1st annual exhibition of the Montour Agricultural Society will bo held at Danville, Pa., on October 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th. Every indication points to one of the largest and most successful Fairs ever held by this So ciety. From information already re ceived, a large number of trotting horses will be present. The races will be started by Col. K. S. Edwards of Trenton, N. J. Prof. Walter Steele of Columbus, Ohio, will make a Balloon Ascension and Parachute Drop each day of the Fair.

No Matter How Hard any druggist tries to sell you his own cough medicine, remember he does it because he makes more money on it. Insist on having Kemp's Balsam for the throat or lungs, for there is no cough remedy so pure and none so quick to break up a cold. For in fluenza, soreness of the throat and tickling irritation with constant cough, Kemi) s Balsam is an immediate cure. Large bottles 50c and $1. At all drug gists. CHURCH ITEMS. Scott Township S. S. Institute was held in Espy M. E. Church, Tuesday afternoon and evening, September 5th 1891, with Mr. J. S. Grimes, 'res. in the chair. The Devotional services were con ducted by Rev. A. R. Glaze, the same person was elected Secretary, and Mr. David hitemire Treasurer of the convention Opening remarks were made by the Pres. stating the authority and the ob ject of this district Institute, and also the nature ol much of the Sabbath School work done. The question, "What is christian benevolence, and the best way to cul tivate the spirit of christian giving ?" was opened by Rev. C. L. Sones, and the discussion continued by Rev. R. W. Whitney. 'Primary class work was discussed by Miss. Eva Rupert of Bloomsburg. 1 he relation of the S. S. to the Home" by Rev. Whitney. The man agement of the S. S. by Mr. M. I Low of Lime Ridge. Home to home vis itation by A. W. Spear, Secretary of the Co. Convention, and closing ad dress by Rev. Glaze. Music was furnished by the union of the three church choirs of Espy. It was a splendid and profitable onvention. AH performed well their parts, and to this must be attributed the success of the convention. We trust that many have been influenced by the convention to consecrate them selves more herrtily to S. S. work. 1 he North Branch Conference of Susquehanna Synod (Lutheran) will convene in unrisi cnurcn, tiucunorn, Monday evening September 28th, opening sermon preached that evening by Rev. J. H.

I Am an Old Man- Shall be 75 years of age next June, and for the last six years have suffered from general debility and old age. At times I could not get out of bed with out help. I commenced to take Sul phur Bitters, In a week I felt strong er and got a mighty fine appetite. I still continued their use, and to-day I walked over three miles without feel ing tired, something I haven't done in five years before Sulphur Bitters is a right smart medicine.

Children Ory for pitcnr'9Castria, NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES- The same steady growth that has charae'erised the school for the past five years, is again manifest, and we have full twenty-five more boarders than at this time last year. The present Senior class has com pletely eclipsed those of former years, and starts off with ninety-seven mem bers, and there are still a few Juniors of '91 who contemplate entering the class. The Junior class in all its divisions, numbers about, eighty-five, besides many preparatory students, and the Model School is well up in the eight ies. Our large family make ereat dailv inroads upon the commissary depart ment of the school, and the resources of the new Steward and Matron have been heavily taxed, but they have in every particular, proved themselves more than equal to the occasion A more studious and content ed, and yet withal, joyous and hanpy body of young people than ours we be believe it hard to find. Amonz our number is a young man from North Carolina, and a letter has just been re ceived from a young lady in Kansas who will likely be here in a few weeks, having chosen our school as the best place to prepare for Wellosly college. A visit to the laundry discovers the fact that several pieces of the very latest machinery have been purchased and are in operation, which simply meant greater care and better wash mg of tne four thousand pieces of clothing in the weekly wash. several students who nave Deen in attendance at other leading normal schools of the state, say that this school is far ahead in the board, wash ing and other accommodations furnish ed while at the same time the rates here are lower. The Students Lecture Course for 91-92 will open on Oct. 26 with the magnificent company entitled the "Ariel Thomas Combination." This splendid combination has been secured after much effort and at great expense and we believe the citi zens of Bloomsburg have in these people a treat richer than anv they have ever before enjoyed. Mr. 'Tho mas is said to be the purest and most irresistible humorist on the American platform. The famous orator John R. Clark of New York City will deliver his great lecture "To and Fro in Lon don."

His charges are high, but we want the best. t ' Mrs. H. E. Monroe will be secured to give her lecture on Prominent People in Public Life, and will with her stereoptican throw upon the can vas the portraits of the men who are now foremost in American politics, while at the same time, she will give facts and incidents of value and interest about each person so represented. 1 he filth entertainment ot the course will probably be by Lu Cake and Miss Meade. I here is some slight delay about fixing the date, so they are not announced positively yet, but it is re asonably certain that they will come. Last winter they were on the institute programme at bunbury, and carried away the honors of the season. Reserved seat tickets for this entire course will be 41.50.

It makes thintrs easv for Consumption. But there's a cure for it in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. A posi tive cure- not only for Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, hron chitis, Asthma and all lingering Coughs, but for Consumption itself in all ita earlier stages. It's rea sonable. All these diseases depend on tainted blood. Consumption is imply Luns-scrofula. And for every form of scrofula and blood taint, the " Discovery w is a certain remedy. It's so certain, that its makers guarantee it to benefit or cure, in every case, or the money is refunded. With a medicine that is certain, this can be done. There's a cure for Catarrh, too, so matter what you've been led to believe. If there isn't, in your case, Iou'll get $500 cash. It's a bona de offer that's made by the pro prietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. There's risk in it, to be lure, bat they are willing to take the risk-you ought to be glad to take tno medicine. ' V " Consumption Cured' An old physician, retired from' prac tice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy and permanent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catairji, Asthma and all throat and Lung Af fections also a positive aiid radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powets in thousands ol cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows.

TO SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS- TWENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OK THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE SAB PATH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. 1 ne convention will lc field in Bethlehem, Northampton county, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 29 and 30, and October 1, 1S01, having been postponed one week at the urgent request, of the local committee of arrangements. The first session will be held Tues day evening at 7:30, in the Moravian church, where delegates should report immediately upon their arrival. Each county is entitled to ten delegates, and each city of 10,000 or more inhabi tants, to ten additional. By action of the convention at New Castle, 1800, associations not auxiliary to the inter, denominational work, in counties not containing such auxiliary association are not invited to send ten delegates each. All delegates will be entertained by the Christian people of Bethlehem, and should promptly advise Rev. G A. bchwedes of their purpose to at tend. The Central railroad of New Jersev, the Lehigh Yalley, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia & Reading and Baltimore it Ohio railroads have granted excur sion rates to Delegates and others at tending, who will receive orders for tickets by applying to Rev. G. F. Scott, No. 442 Powell street. South Bethlehem, naming the roads over which they will travel. The programme as arranged is an excellent one, and will well repay at tendance from all parts of the State. It is hoped that the unavoidable change of date will not prevent any from attending who had arranged for the original date, and that many others may also be enabled to be pres ent.
