Mrs Burns, formerly ma ron at the Normal School has leased the new dwelling house of W. C. Richart Third street on Lost. A bunch of keys were lost on or about August 5th in the vicinity of Athletic Park. The finder will be rewarded by retuming them to this office. The game of base ball last Satur day between the HumloIdt and Bloomsburg clubs resulted in a defeat for the Bloomsburg club by a score of 11 to 16. The apple crop this year promises to be large in many sections. The fruit has less worms, and are smoother and of larger growth than usual. Cider will he plentiful. One of the most handsome win dows in town is that of J. G. Wells, jeweler and optician. He has just re ceived a fine lot of silverware, fine cut glass and decorated china, all of the latest designs. Mrs. Brugler who had charge of the boardirg tent at Mountain Grove Camp meeting gave general satisfac tion. The officers at the close of the meeting, gave a vote of thanks and requested that she take charge of the boarding tent at subsequent meetings. Mr. E. B. Brower has about com pleted another dwelling house along the Light Street road. He has foundation laid for two more, and room for three additional ones. His village should be named Brower's addition. The Lutheran Sunday School pic nic at Millville Grove on Tuesday was a great success. There were eight well filled cars. The grove was found in good condition and the Millville people very entertaining. The -jxcur-sion returned at 7 o'clock without a single delay and no accident. It is worth the time and effort to visit the grounds of the Normal School and see the beautiful lawns and flowers beds. Mr. Housel the Bupertendcnt of the grounds, displays good tast in his arrangment and selection of plants. The grounds never were as beautiful as at present. The letters of Colius 41 1869 State Normal School 1893 which are upon the mound fronting Main street are especially attractive. The fourth annual re union of the Hess family will be held at Oak Grove, Thursday, August 2 5. A cor dial invitation is extended to all to be present.

The skunk farm now has about 800 of these "varmits" in a 15 acre enclo sure. By next year it is proposed bv Mr. Luther Michaels, the superintend ent of the farm, to enclose at least 100 acres and give the pole cats a chance to spread out. The estimated crop for 4 years is 40,000, when the harvest will be commenced. Mon roe Demo crat. . The price of the fur of a skunk h from 50 cents to $1.00.

Harvey Long who is now residing at Fresno county, California, sent in a box of sun dried fruit that he raised and cured himself. They are on ex hibition at J. D. Armstrong's grocery and consist of raisins, figs, prunes, peaches, apricots, and nectarines. The attendance at the Evangelical Camp-meeting at Waller which closed Wednesday evening of last week, was so great and so much interest shown that they have concluded to lease the grounds for a term of ten years and expect soon to erect permanent tents. The remains of Mrs. David Winner were brought to Bloomsburg Saturday evening and interred in Rosemont Cemetery Sunday afternoon, Her age was S3 years, and she leaves a hus band alone to survive her. She was a sister to Wm. E. and D. R. Coffman. For the past year she has been a resi dent of Parsons, Luzerne county. The County Commissioners have received the new ballot boxes and will soon receive the voting booths. The cost for Columbia County will be $858.50. If the secret ballot shall meet the purposes for which the law is passed, the expense will be consid ered a very light thing. James Fullmer of Muncv, agent for the Wire Buckle Suspender Co., of Williamsport was in town Tuesday. He is an ardent democrat, and bears the distinction of being the first Penn sylvanian to be removed by Harrison. He was Superintendent of Construe tion of Public buildings at Williams port and was removed March 10th, six days aftei the inauguration. During the heavy rain-fall last Thurs day afternoon a large quantity of dirt and stone was washed down upon the railroad track of the D I & W. road along the narrows between Ru pert and Catawissa. Peter Erwin and Henry Shane who were driving along the road discovered the obstructions and seeing an approaching passenger train flagged it, and thus prevented what might have been a terrible ac cident. Mrs. Dehart, commonly known as "Saturday," was again arrested Tues day evening. She entered the ice cream parlor of Casper Kressler and after ordering a plate of ice cream be gan to dance and use obscene lan guage. Mr. Kressler's business was much interfered with and no one at tempted to put her out. Policeman Chromis came along and took her up the street to the lock up. All along the street she kept up a jabbering. The next morning after consultation wkh Judge Ikeler she was arrested on a warrant preferred by officer Chromis. Mr. Chromas is placed under bail of twenty-five dollars for his appearance J against her in September Court. "j".1" Mrs. Thillips was unfortunate in the removal of the roof of her building preparatory to making the improve ments. The heavy tains of Wednes day and Thursday came down upon her open building, in such quantity that it seemed her goods would be completely ruined. A shed roof over her store room was the only protection. She had taken every precaution possi ble and hence lessened the damage that otherwise would have been done. For Neuralgia. A subscriber who suffers occasionally from that painful malady, neuralgia, tells us that the only remedy she finds effectual is the follow ing one given to her by an old Ger man nurse: lake a good sized piece of black silk, rub it briskly against the ann or until the silk feels warm, this rubbing the old German lady said, do- velopes the electricity latent in the silk, -then tie the silk round the head, taking special care to cover the aching part, and lie down. Almost immedi ately a delicious feeling of relief creeps over one and nearly always at the end of about half an hour the pain is gone Last Saturday evening Elias Hun singer was placed in the station house on the charge of drunkenness Sun day morning the president of the Coun cil was preparing for a hearing of the Ensoner, policeman Chromas went to ring him, and was surprised not to find him there. The door was unlocked but the only thing broken wa3 the screening covering the window. Sun day evening Hunsinger was found in Hemlock township at the residence of his father-in-law. He was brought to Bloomsburg and fined five dollars. When questioned, he said he opened the door with a key he had in his pocket. According to the registration there are 1 1 o voters in Bloomsburg. To this must be added some 150 more of 60 day voters or those voting on age, This will make over 1300 voters in Bloomsburir. If the whole vote is polled we believe Cleveland and Ste venson will have a majority of over 200. The hichest number of votes cast in Bloomsburg was in 1 883 when 947 persons voted-and the democratic majority was 101. In 1890 at the Governor's election 919 votes were cast and the democratic majority was U7. Let all the democratic workers remember these facts and see that every vote is cast. WOBLD'S FAIE NOTES- The World's Fair buildings will be dedicated on the 21st of October in stead of the 1 2th, Congress having oassed a bill to that effeet. October 2 1 is the exact anniversary of Colum bus' landing, allowance being made for the correction in the calendar made by Pope Gregory. The change of date of dedication was made in the interest of chronological accuracy, and also to oblige New York City which will have a Columbian celebration on October 12. It is announced that the Postmas ter-General of the United States has decided to issue a new series of postage stamps, with designs appro Driate to the commemoration of the discovery of America. New York will exhibit Pt the World's Fair sections of all the trees which are indieenous to the state. Of these there are 43 species and 85 varieties. a number which is not excelled, it is claimed, in any state in the Union. "Marshall's gold nugget" will be ex hibited at the World's Fair by Cali fornia, and it is safe to say that thous ands will consider it one of the most interesting of the innumerable objects which ill be displayed at the great Exposition. This is the identical nug get which Marshall picked up in the American River, Feb. 16, 1848, when selecting a site for Sutter's mill, and which constituted the first discovery of gold in California. The nugget is about the size of a lima bean, and, on account of its associations and the al most incalculable wealth and develop ment which have resulted from its finding, is regarded as an almost priceless treasure. Indiana will make a fine display at the World's Fair of the results of manufacturing industries growing out of the discovery of natural gas. Since Indiana first began to use the gas in 1885, it is claimed, the growth of manufactures in the state has been greater than in any other state in the Union. Prof. Putnam and his assistants, while engaged in collecting material for the ethnological exhibit at the World's Fair, have made a very im portant archaeological discovery near Fort Ancient, Ohio. It is that of a serpent mound 1,900 feet long and about 10 feet thick. This is by far the largest known "serpent" construct ed by the mound-buildtrs of prehis toric times, and is regarded as one of the most notable of American anti quities. The mound builders works there had been recognized before, but it was not known that they constituted a hugh "serpent." Many valuable relics are expected by Prof. Putnam from the excavations now being made. The old whaling bark "Progress," with its extensive museum of marine curios and relics of whaling voyages, is now in the harbor at Chicago, and is being visited by hundreds of people. Chief Willard A. Smith of the Trans- portation Department of the World's l air has secured for exhibition one of the old French voyager's boats, which he found in the State Historical Mu seum of Wisconsin, at Madison. The boat is an old batteau of the pattern used by the French-Canadian fur traders in their vovaces on the lakes and rivers of the Northwest before Illinois or Wisconsin had been organ ized as territories. It is a leviathan of canoes, weighing 1,100 pounds, is thirty feet long, and in its day carried eighteen men and over a ton of goods for the Indian trade. Secretary Th- waite of the Wisconsin Historical Mu seum, on one of his canoe trips two yean ago, found this relic, rater-logged, on the banks of the Upper St. Croix, and had it conveyed to Madi son. Dr. Henius. a scientist and publish er of Chicago, has just returned from a trip to burope. He says that the interest and preparation for the World's Fair in the principal cities of 1 Oermany is extraordinary. Germany will be represented at the Columbian Exposition as it never has been at any previous international exposition. Dr. Henius is President of the German American Press Club of Chicago, and in the course of his trip he met a num ber of scientific and press men. He visi'.ed Berlin, Munich, Frankfort, Leipsic, Hamburg, and several of the minor cities. Dr. Henius says that from all the large manufacturing cen ters in Germany complete exhibits will be sent to Chicago, and many manu facturers and scientific men said that they would attend the Exposition. The Hoboken Ferry company of New York wants to show a fac simile model of the twin screw steamer at the World's Fair, built in 1805, with original engines and boiler. As a con trast to this venerable craft it will show the model of a modern screw ferry boat, the Hamburg, built in 1892. Hip Lung, the wealthiest Chinese merchant in Chicago, together with several influential Chinese of Canton, San Francisco and New York, hive applied for space at the World's Fair for a big tea house. The French Commission informs the Department of Horticulture of the World's Fair that M. Andre, pre-emi-cntly the greatest landscape gardener of Europe, will take charge of the grounds arourd the Women's Building and that part of the horticultural grounds which will be assigned to the French exhibit. The French florists are not only willing but anxious to furnish all the plants for this exhibit. The City of Mexico will have a special exhibit at the World's Fair, $3,000 having been appropriated for that purpose by the city council. The Electric Launch and Naviga tion Company of New York has been awarded the contract for running elec tric boats on the interior waterways at Jackson park during the World's Fair. It will pay the Exposition 33 per cent, of the gross receipts. These boats will convey visitors from one point to another or on a general three mile tour of the grounds, as desired. Such a tour affords some of the finest views of the buildings and grounds, and is sure to be popular. A factory at Lynn, Mass , has asked for space at the World's Fair to show pneumatic dynamite guns and pro jectiles ; one dynamite field gun to be shown on a wheeled carriage 15 by 6 feet over all j one coast defense pneu matic dynamite gun, stationary, mount ed on carriage with turnable track, tube 8-inch bore, three feet long.

Pittsburgh, Fa, Oao. A. Macbeth Co. CHEAP SUGAR. the Views or Hon. Oi?i flrott, Con gronmun from Illinois. Tbo following is nn cstrr.rt from the speech of tbo Hon. Owen tcott, t-f Illi nois, in the nr.tion.il house of representa tives: Every pound of raw en;:r.r bought, whether produced here or abroad, is bought by the trust nnd all the refined sugar old passes through their hands and pays tribute to this cotiHcienceless corporation. In incraisin, its capital it also provided for $10,000,000 of 6 per cent, bonds with which to operate the business and to silence the competition Df any refinery which might hereafter make it interesting. Not only has the Sugar trust succeeded in destroying all competition, but it has, at the sumo time, prepared the means for perpetually preventing competition. The result of this has been to depress the price of all raw sugar and to largely increase the price of refined. Prior to this absorption of refineries and destruc tion of competition it was not believed by any one at all well informed that the Sugar trust or those engaged in refining sugar were not making large profits. On tho contrary, there was every evi dence that sugar refining was a most lucrative business. The present prices of raw sngar, 94 degs. centrifugal, and refined, granulated, have been so adjusted by the trust that the net profits are li cent per pound. Thecoet of re fining does not exceed at the most five eighths of a cent, and the best equipped refineries can produce it at one-half cent. This changed condition between raw and refined, mode possible by the absorption by the trust of the outside refineries, has given them enormously increased profits. There i a net increased profit of five- eighth of a cent per pound, or $3.03 per barrel. On a minimum yearly produc tion of 13,600,000 barrels this amounts to the enormous sum of over $39,300,000, or a little more than the amount of the in creased capital of the trust employed to destroy competition. Experts place the actual value of Sugar trust properties at $33,000,000, so that the rate of profit on actual ruina tion is a little over 73 per cent. After paying 7 per cent, on $37,500,000 of pre ferred stock and 0 per cent, interest on the $10,000,000 of bonds tbeaborerato of profit would yield almost 60 per cent. on the common stock. Such enormous profits are only possi ble by giving exclusive and sole control of the market for thieconimodity, which is a necessity in every household in tbo land. At the time of the formation of the trust in 1887 tho actual value of tho establishments taken in waa estimated to be about $19,000,000. Additions since and changes mode in the plane, in tho opinion of experts, make the property, of tne trust worth about $33,000,000. Tho remainder of the $30,000,000 capital prior to the recent increase represents undistributed earnings, good will and plenty of water. To illustrate the wonderful profit that is made by these refiners mention may be made of the largest that of Have meyer & Elder's Sugar Kenning com pany, Brooklyn. It is estimated by good authority that the properties and equip ments cost not to exceed $4,000,000. Its capacity is 8,000 barrels per day, giving in one year of 800 days a production of 2,400,000 barrels, or 780,000,000 pounds. Even allowing a net profit of one-half cent per pound, the exact amount of tariff on refined sugar, it will be seen that the annual profit is the enormous sum of $3,900,000, being almost if not quite 100 per cent on the cost of the works. Be publicans In a Sad Way. The Republicans are saying a good deal about Mr. Cleveland's "misgivings" as to the advisability of nominating him. They are also industriously cir culating the report that be is not quite so slender as Hamlet or Romeo. All we have to say on the subject is that if our Republican friends are depending on these great arguments to elect Messrs. Harrison and Roid, they must bo in a sad way for campaign material, and have very slim hopes of electing their candidates. Memphis Appeal Ava lanche. Bayonets and Ballots. What gloom would confront us should the Republican force bill ever become a law I There would bo no more liberty in this land of the free and home of tho brave. Bayonets at every ballot box would count the vote as the federal gov ernment dictated. All power wonld bo centralized in the general government and a more than monarchy established. This could only be reached by a division of the white people of the south. An niston (Ala.) Hot Blast. Worklngmsa Will Voto Af alnst Ik Memory cannot be destroyed by pro tection monopolists. The right to use tho ballot cannot be taken away. The men who are now in the position of the under dog will not forget, they will vote intelligently. Who can doubt that they will vote against a system which favors capitalistic combinations and upholds their efforts to crush the organizations formed by laboring men for the protec tion of themselves nnd their families? Buffalo Enquirer. Bow It Will Soon Bo. Within a few more years the Repub licans will have succeeded in weakening the people until they are unable to offer any resistance to the tariff robbers. The average pauper voter will turn both pockets inside out nnd take off his bat in meek humility when ho is permitted to vote. Galveston News. A "Cheap" Chairman.
