Ex-Congressman William I Scott, of Lne, died at Newport last Satur day. He was one of the most promi 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. a fixed fact. In the selection of two dele gates from this Senatorial district, by the Democratic Conference 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 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 these 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 Bardslev's hand writing which he refuses even to look at in court ? Let the public see the McCamant and Livsey letters all of them. ' " 4 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 sist annual exhibition of the Montour Agricultural Society will be 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 horse3 will be present. The races will be started by Col. E. S. Edwards of Trenton, N. J. Prof. Walter Steele of Columbus, Ohio, will make a Balloon Ascension and Parachute Drop each day ot the fair. Dog Races, Bicycle Races and other sports will be on the programme. A big time is guaranteed. Round trip tickets including admis sion to Fair from Bloomsburg. 62 cts. Espy. 69 cts. Rupert. 56 cts. Catawissa. ' 51 cts. The universal satisfaction with which J. G. Wells' work as an optician is re garded in this and adjoining counties, speaks well for his ability.

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, Kemp s Balsam is an immediate cure. Large bottles $dc and If 1. At all drug gists. CHUBCH ITEMS- Scott Township S. S. Institute was held in Espy M. E. Church, Tuesday afternoon and evening, September 15th 1891, with Mr. J. S. Grimes, Pres. in the chair. The Devotional services were con ducted by Rev. A. R. Glaze, the same person was elected secretary, and Mr. David hitemire lreasurer ot the convention Opening remarks were made by the Pres. statin? the authority and the ob ject of this district Institute, and also the nature ot much 01 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 b. b. 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 convention. All 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. The North Branch Conference of Susquehanna Synod (Lutheran) will convene in ennst cnurcn, Bucunorn, Monday evening September 28th, opening sermon preached that evening by Rev. J. H. Weber, D. D. Sunbury. Conference will continue through Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday A. M. the 30m. luesday evening will be devoted to S. S. work. "The sup erintendent." ''The teacher," and "The scholar," will be discussed. All are invited to be present at this meeting of Conference. I Am an Old Man- Shall be 73 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- pnur enters, in a ween 1 ieu 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 Oryfo Pltclw'pCastsfia, 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 'at 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 great daily 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 happy body of young people than ours we be- believe it hard to find. Among 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 Wellesly 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 means greater care and better wash ing of the four thousand pieces of clothing in the weekly w.ish. Several students who have been 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." Phis 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." Leland T. Powers who delight ed the people of Bloomsburg two ears ago with his presentation of the thirteen characters in Dickens' David Copperfield will this year give a similar resentation 01 uavia warncK. jur. Powers made his reputation . m David Garrick," and he was secured for the Students Course on the only night in the year when he could be secured. 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 fifth entertainment ol the course will probably be by Lu Cake and Miss Meade. There 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 $1.50.

A posi tive cure not only for wean Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Bron chitis, Asthma and all lingering Coughs, but for Consumption itself in all its earlier stages. It's rea sonable. All these diseases dopend on tainted blood. Consumption is imply Lung-scrofula. And for every form of scrofula and blood taint, the "Discovery" 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 it certain, this can be done. There's a enre for Catarrh, too, bo matter what you've been led to believe. If there isn't, in your case, Jou'U get $300 cash.

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, Latarrji, Asthma and all throat and Lung Af fections, also a positive and radical cure for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering.
