Mr. Harry Sloan and Bruce Clark
went a fishing ) Now we find upon in
quiry among those acquainted with
the habits of the fish and fishers of
this vicinity that this is a remarkable
coincidence. Though they started out
in right good trim for business, just
how they came back nobody seems
to know for certain. But if such harm
less recreation leaves them nor the
fish of Fishingcreek any the weaker
for it, whose business is it anyhow,
we should like to know.
Death of Wm. Miller-
In the recent death of Wm. Miller,
of Mount Pleasant, there was a sad
case of three week's suffering of an
old and respected citizen. He sus
tained fatal injuries by a fall from the
top loft of his barn to the floor while
arranging to store his crops. His bur
ial took place on Saturday last at his
home, where a large concourse of
friends and relatives assembled as
mark of respect for the dead and the
bereaved ones. Ira Evert, under
taker of Watsontown, took charge of
the burial of the remains.
The Pullman Trouble.
The condition of things at Pullman
have assumed a serious aspect for the
strikers who still stoutly refuse to ac
cept the terms offered by the company,
George M. Pullman has determined
to turn the men out of house and
home who reluse to go to work. There
being some 5,000 still on strike, that
number will be evicted and conse
quently homeless. There are already
about 400 vacant houses in Pullman.
These are thought to be sufficient to
accommodate the new workmen en
gaged. It is quite possible that the
town may be depopulated. About
1,500 of the strikers are tenants of the
Pullman company. Few, if any of
them have paid rent since the strike
began. Most of them are said to be too
poor to pay an expressman for hauling
their goods out of town. Nearly 1,000
men, or within about 300 of the full
complement, are already engaged by
the company it is said, and eviction is
now in order they say.
Wood's College Has the Call.
As the business men say, " Wood's
College of Business and Shorthand has

years and his students are among the
brightest and best people of this coun
try.

CHURCH FINANCES.
This office has just finished the
printing of the carefully prepared Fi
nancial Report of Rev. A. Houtz of
the Orangeville Reformed charge. In
it appears the names of members, eld
ers, solicitors, and all amounts they
have contributed toward the support
of this church and its help in other di
rections toward the spread, support
and perpetuation of the Gospel. Each
individual name and amount is men
tioned and carefully summarized, so
that the laity may know the exact
financial condition upon the issuing ol
each annual report. A correct finan
cial statement is kept of each congre
gation, as well as the sums contribu
ted for the preacher's salary and the
requisite church benefits. The sum
total of all benevolent contributions is
given, along with amounts disbursed
for any cause. And in the summary
of salary may be seen at a glance what,
if anything, is due the pastor.
Under the heading of " disburse
ments " may be seen just where the
money goes that is contributed to help
abroad as well as at home.
While it is probable that no fin an
cial plan can ever be devised, by any
church, that will work so smoothly
and sweetly as to never cause a grum
ble from church members, the plan of
an annual statement of all money re
ceived and disbursed looks business
like at least
A PREACHER ROBBED.
We were about to say that when
professional burglars deliberately plan
to rob preachers it is time for a re
duction in their salaries. But the oc
casion of burglary of a preacher to
which we are about to refer was really
a mistake on the part of the profess
ional. If preacher Jones had been at
home it is not likely that lie would
ever have been robbed. Unfortunately
he and his wife were sleeping at
another man's house presumably a
man who had something worth steal
ing. Accordingly, at about the fashioa
able hour for burglary (three o'clock
in the morning) four masked men
quietly entered the house of Milton
Townsend, where Rev. David Jones
and wife were sleeping, and, lighting
a lamp to prevent stumbling, they
stealthily reached the bedside of the
pious couple, and aroused them far
enough for them to fully realize the
immediate presence of danger lurking
in the big revolvers they held over
them, cautioning them in the mean
time to remain quiet until they saw
what could be found worth taking,
Besides the wearing apparel of Rev,
Jones they also found considerable
money in his pockets that is said to
belong to the Episcopal church of
New Unghton, Pa. Mrs. Jones is re
ported as very ill from the fright. As
a rule preachers are not burglarized
And where they are we always think
there is something wrong either with
the preacher or the burglar.
Republican Effort.
Democracy having made its selec
tions, and there being two sides to all
questions sometimes the Republi

of aspiring gentlemen to fill the same
offices that Columbia Countv Demo

ly the Kepublican delegate election
will be held on next Saturday, the 18th
instant, between the hours of 5 and
7 P. M. Their county convention will
be held on Monday, the 20th, in the

Democratio Voters of Columbia County,
Gentlemen : At the request of a
few personal and political friends I
announced my name as a candidate for
the office of Sheriff. In making a
canvass of the county I had the pleas
ure of meeting and making the ac
quaintance of many of you. While
the labor was hard and expense con
siderable, I do not regret the fight.
I now know, and you have an idea,
what it is to fight a ring composed of
nearly all the public officials, both
great and small. I admire and shall
always remember with gratitude the
manner in which you rallied to my
support and almost won a victory over
the combined efforts of nearly all the
public officials in this bailiwick, both
county and federal, backed by the
magic power of "boss, boodle, and
beer." While we lost the fight we
need not be dismayed. I am still a
Democrat, and have confidence in the
people, and that they will in due time
, correct the evils that prevailed at the
late primaries. I would rather be a
private citizen all my life than win an
office by doubtful methods.
To those of you who stood so no
bly by me with your sympathy and
support, I wish to return hiy sincere
thanks, believing that I have done
nothing that will cause you to regret
your action.
Yours sincerely,
W. W. BLAck.
Not long since William Patrick, a
farm-hand in New Fairfield, attempt
ed an indecent assault on a little six
year old girl, Lucy Landsiedcl. Being
detected and pursued by Elmer
Pearce and Win. Riley he tried to kill
them by stabbing Pearce three times
and kicking Riley with all his might
before submitting to arrest. The fiend
is thirty-five years of age. Meeting
the little girl on the road he caught
her and dragged her into the woods
near by. Her cries brought Pearce
and Riley and ultimately her father
to her rescue. Right here we are an
archist enough to say shoot such vil
lains where ever found, and give them
no opportunity in the formalities of
arrest and imprisonment to injure
those whose duty it is to arrest them
and shield them against the wounded
sentiment that would take their omtal
and fiendish lives. Such characters
may be worthy of protection until
positive guilt is established where
doubt prevails ; but when caught in
the a-t, shoot them, we say.

It is estimated that 10,000 settlers
in Western Nebraska and Eastern Col
orado have been forced to quit their
premises this year on account of long
continued drought. By loading all
their belongings on covered wagons
and coming east of the Mississippi
they hope the better to eke out an
existence and escape the hardships of
a winter on the prairie. They will no
doubt return to their deserted western
homes as soon as any prospect of get
ing a living from the soil is among
the probabilities.
