As a matter of interest to readers
and home builders we are pleased to
say that C. E. Yorks, of Elk Grove, is
said to be quarrying out a very nice
article of paving stone, and which can
no doubt be gotten to Bloomsburg via
the B. & S. railroad much cheaper
than stone can be shipped here
from abroad. We mention the matter
for the benefit of readers who are
bu'lding and paving.

A Rainmaker's Suicide.
The man who committed suicide at
the Hope Hotel, Denver, Aug. 29
proves to be Frank Melbourne, the
rainmaker, well known throughout the

Considering the leng continued
drought it is a particularly sad time
to part with rainmakeis.

Cheap Advertising.
The latest fad with city magazines
is to cunningly endeavor to edit all
country newspapers that will print
their choice selections and not forget
to give them credit. There are too
many country editors thus giving the
city magazines gratis advertisements
when their own selections would read
just as well and their own writing
much better, besides being profitable
to themselves and entertaining to their
readers. A country paper that is city
edited don't fill the bill by a long shot.
If city magazines must have advertise
menta in country newspapers, let them
pay for it, I say.

chant Tailor of Columbia county.

False Prophecy.
The rain predicted for Tuesday
failed to materialize. Some one seems
to have said with truth " all signs fail
in time of drought." The equinoctial
gales will strike us soon, when we
may reasonable hope for a change of
weather unless a change of moon
brings it about sooner. We believe
in equinoctial gales and moon changes
rather more than on the word of
weather prophets and rainmakers
some how. The weather prophets and
rainmakers are entirely to blame for
our skepticism, too, having fooled us
so often that we wouldn't believe their
prophecies if they were to swear to
them.
For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of
tfay uty, Mich., accidentally spilled
scalding water over her little boy. She
promptly applied DeWitt's Witch Hazel
balve, giving instant relief. Its
wonderful good salve for burns, bruises,
sores, and a sure cure for Piles. W,

The Congressional Fight.
Sunbury, Sept. 4. The Democrat
ic congressional conference of the
seventeenth district, comprising Nor
ihutuberland, Montour, Columbia and
Sullivan counties, met here this after
noon. George W. Miles, of Montour,
was made chairman.
Of the eight conferees Buckalew, of
Columbia, has four: ateinbach, of
Montour, two, and Dewart, of Nor
thumberland, two. Ten ballots were
taken before adjournment at six
o'clock, the above being the result of
each ballot. It looks as though
deadlock will result, although a dark
horse is in waiting and efforts are be
ing made to have the conference
name him as a compromise candi
date. Tht Patriot.

Resolved: That with deep sorrow
we are called upon to mourn the loss
of Brother Daniel A. Beckley.
He was kind, always ready and will
ing to serve others, remuneration for
such services being with him a second
ary consideration. Realizing the kiud
disposition manifested toward the
members of this Society and this com
m unity at large, we are the better able
to sympathize with his family and
near friends in their sad bereavement
and creat grief, and we do extend to
them our heartfelt sympathy ; coin
mending them to the care of that
Heavenly Parent into whose hands we
must all sooner or latter in turn com
mit our souls.
Jicsolced: That these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes and

EXAMINE THE WHOLE SCHEME CARE
The Saving Bain.
BY t. J. JAMISON.
Oh the rain, the essential rain,
Answering at last the prayerful refiain
In falling from Heaven above.
Reviving all growth that is thirsting to death
Allaying the terrors of fire and drought,
Thou contest from Him who is Love.
Oh the rain, the refreshing rain,
Drink where there's thirsiin, balm where
there's pain.
Thy dropping I music indeed.
A new lease of life, in fact a new b'.i'th,
Is wrapt in thy coming from heaven to earth
Thou thwarter of death, thou arrester of
need.
IN BED JOB 30 YEARS.
Canton, Pa., July 15. The death
of Harriet Sackett, who lived near
Smith's Mills, ended a strange life.
Thirty years ago she and her lister
Julia, although suffering in no way,
went to bed and refused to rise again.
They were then young, and no
amount of coaxing could induce them
to leave their bed. The mother cared
for them, but she died. Afterwaids
other members of the family carried
food to them. In time Harriet became
a hopeless paralytic. About four years
9go, Julia one day astonished her
friends by getting up, and she has
since acted as other persons. Harriet
was always cold, no matter how hot
the weather, and usually slept under a
mass of dressed sheepskins. They
never gave a reason for their odd con
duct. The Law and Labor Bay.
It seems that Labor Day is not only
a legal holiday, but so far as post-of
fices are concerned in Pennsylvania
its a twin holiday. That is, post-masters
of Pennsylvania may observe both
the National and State occasion for
Labor Day. Touching this point, in
quiries have been pouring into the
Post office Department at Washington
from post masters all over the country
as to whether post offices can be
closed to observe Labor Day. The
Post-office Department has :n each
case informed the inquirers that La
bor Day is a legal holiday, and their
offices can be closed. In States where
Labor Day is by acts of their leeis-
lature, notably Pennsylvania, made a
holiday on a date other than the fed
eral holiday, the postmasters have
been advised that both holidays can
De otserved Ihis is in accordance
with the postal regulations, which pro
vide that post-offices can be closed on
State holidays.
The State holiday fell on Saturday,
the 1st of September, this year, while
the National holiday fell on Monday.
Protestant Missions in Japan.
The Protestant Missions in Japan
date from 1859, yet according to a ta
ble published by Rev. H. Loomis, of
Yokohama, they have now an adult
membership of thirty-seven thousand,
three hundred, ninety eight (37,398).
So that beginning with nothing they
have nevertheless made the astonish
ing net gain, annually, of over one
thousand per year. Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, it costs for salaries,
office expenses, but 3 per cent, to run
its tract work. Ninety-seven cents of
every dollar goes directly to the field.
Office-holders and ths Income Tax.
Besides the millionaires, large prop
erty owners, big salaried persons in
private life, and leaders in trade and
commerce who will be affected by the
income tax provision of the new Tariff
bill which has become a law, there will
be a sufficient number of public office
holders in Philadelphia and Harris
burg to be taxed on their salaries in
the aggregate about $5,000 a year for
the United States Treasury. Every
person in a public berth must pay the
Government 2 per cent, on the excess
of his salary over $4,000. There are
in Philadelphia 14 or 15 men who
each draw more than that amount for
serving Uncle Sam, who insists on
getting back a fraction of what he pays
mem. adoui that many more persons
in Philadelphia and in Harrisburg who
earn over $4,000 are servants of the
State, while more than two score of
officeholders whose pay-warrants call
for amounts that will yield income tax
are municipal and county employes of
rnuaueipnia.
The aggregate of the taxable salaries
in these three classes is about $540,
000, and the total of the excesses over
$4,000 is about a quarter of a million,
making the average of each of the 75
taxable incumbents of elective and
appointive offices more than $7,200 a
year, these three score and fifteen
comfortably-fixed persons would seem
a very small group in comparison with
the army of public servants in Phila
delphia whose pay ranges from the
$3,900 salary of City Property Chief
Eisenhower, down to the day laborer s
wages. Kight on the danger line, with
$4,000 each, are Survey Chief Web
ster, first Assistant City Solicitor
Alcorn, Second Assistant District
Attorney Ker, Tax Assessment Re
visers Loughlin, Gratz and Fairman,
Public Instruction Superintendent
Schaeffer, Banking Superintendent
Krumbhaar and Pension Agent Mul-
holland. Still safer from Internal
Revenue Collector Doyle's Jeputies
are Chief Building Inspector Haddock,
Highway Bureau Chief Bullock, Water
Bureau Superintendent Hand and
Deputy Prolhunotary Roberts, with
$3,500 apiece 1 Eairmount Park Sup
erintendent Thayler, who gets $3,750,
and Appraiser Ingersoll, who is just
$1,000 within the dead line.
At the top of the list of salaries is
Sheriff Clement's $15,000, upon $ti,
000 of which he will pay until the end
of 1896, an annual tax of $220, which
would buy several hundred political
club excursion tickets. Probably Mr.
Harrity's successor as Secretary of the
Commonwealth, will render unto
Cfsar nearly as much, for in addition
to the secretaryship salary of $4,000,
and other salaries, aggregating $1,100
for membership in State boards, he is
entitled to a considerable amount of
fees. As Mayor Stuart's term will
expire next April, lie will not be called
upon to give up any of his $12,000 a
year.
Governor Pattison will also escape
paying tribute on his $10,000, which
is tne amount paid each of eight
Philadelphia officials, namely, Direct
ors Windrim and Beitler, who step out
with the Mayor ; City Solicitor War
wick and Tax Receiver Taylor, who
must each continue until April. 1S96,
giving up $120, which is more than
their ward committees would expect
from them for campaign banners and
hall hiring ; District Attorney Graham,
whose term will expire three months
before those of Messrs. Warwick and
Taylor ; Recorder of Deeds Green,
who must turn into the Government
coffers for about two years enough
money to supply a big club of Frank
ford campaigners with capes and
torches ; City Treasurer McCreary,
who, retiring at the end of this year,
can keep his $10,000 intact; and
Common Pleas Prothonolary Mann,
who will continue indefinitely, at the
pleasure of the Board of Judges, part
ing with his mite of two per cent, on
his $6,000 excess.
The biggest Federal salary, next to
the $10,000 of Justice Shiras, of the
United States Circuit Court, is Col
lector of the Port Read's $3,ooo, out
of which he will send to Washington
$80, or more than Tenth Ward Man
ager David McGriffin would ask from
his chief to keep down the majority
in William R. Leeds' division. The
two Associates of Justice Shiras, in
the Circuit Court Judges Dallas and
Acheson must keep the wolf from
the door with $6,000 apiece. City
Controller Thompson's pay is the
same as Collector Read's and so are
the salaries of six of the State Supreme
Court Justices Greene. Williams.
McCollum, Mitchell, Dean and Fell-
while Chief Justice Sterrett has $500
extra apon which to make up his tax
ot 90.
rrobably the contribution of th
successor of Attorney General Hensel
to tne Washington vaults will ran
next to the oftenngs of the $1 0,000
class, as, in addition to his two salaries
aggregating $4,500, he is entitled to
certain fees. Next in the list come
the twelve Common Pleas and four
Orphans' Court Judges of Philadel
phia, whose annual remuneration
$7,000. Water Bureau Chief Ogden
escapes with an offering of $40 he
Demg just 2,ooo Deyond the exemp

rank with him are Sheriffs Real Estate
Deputy Leach and Postmaster Carr.
Ihe $30 which Gas Bureau Chief
Park must part with out of $5,500
it the new Director of Public Works
shall retain him, about equals his
annual contribution to the Twenty
sixth Ward Republican Committee
Outsiders can only guess at what the
Kegister of Wills, who will succeed
Mr. Shields next January, must hand
to the internal retenue deputy; for,
peyond the salary of $5,000, the Reg
ister receives tees not exceeding
per cent, on collateral inheritance
tax. State Treasurer Jackson's income
ot f 0,200 is made up of four salaries,
the main one beme $s.ooo. and the
three others for membership in State
boards.
Auoitor uenerai ureez rakes in
$5,200, comprising four salaries, his
chief one being $4,000. Lieutenant
Governor Watres gets $5,500, of which
$500 is tor membership in the Board
ot Pardons. Then follows a lot of
$5,000 officials, whose $20 tax would
supply the brand of cigars kept for
"boys" who carry their divisions.
These $5,000 men comprise Electrical
Bureau Chief Walker, Coroner Ash
bridge. Public School Superintendent
Brooks, Assistant District Attorney
i.insey, city commissioners Sen
senderfer, Richmond and Wildemore,
Quarantine Physician Boenning, Quar
ter Sessions Clerk Latta, United
States District Court Judge Butler,
who is appointed for life t Surveyor of
the Meek and Naval Officer Wright.
The tax gatherer will probably not
get much of a chance at United States
District Attorney Ingham or Marshal
Colesberry, and, as the incumbents of
those offices are paid by fees, it can
not be said with certainty whether
their income tax would go far toward
furnishing the sideboard room of a
political club or not. There are only
four other Federal officials Mint
Superintendent Townsend, Special
Deputy Collector of the Port Crilly,
Assistant United States Treasurer
Bigler and the tax gatherer himself,
Internal Revenue Collector Doyle,
who are paid taxable salaries, their
annual reward being $4,500. Precisely
the same figures are on the pay
warrants of Police Superintendent
Linden, Secretary of Internal Affairs
Stewart, who, however, will retire next
January, and Warden Cassidy, of the
Eastern Penitentiary.

How Ooal Prices Are Fixed.
The anthracite coal sales agents at
their meeting in New York, August
25th, decided to fix the output for
September at 2,500,000 tons. No
action was taken as to prices or per
centages. The output being fixed, of
course prices and percentages can be
regulated somewhat by the demand
for coal. That is the obiect of fixing
the output, of course.
