Some time in November County Treasurer J. R. Fowler expects to move into his new residence on First street. It is a fine property and con tains all the modern conveniences. The Stillwater Mfg Co. are now running their mill there manufacturing chop and feed for the accommodation of the public. Their paper mill will not begin operation until some time during the coming month. Score another for " suicide no sin." The case is that of II. B. McCurdy, of Johnstown, a traveling sa'esman who spent his firm's money on whiskey and woman, and then, during a lucid interval, shot himself. A party of Germans who have been working at Jamison City, spent part of last Thursday in Bloomsburg. They are good singers and as they were taking a day off, they made much music. From here they went to Memphis, Tennessee. The Woolen Mill is now in full operation in every department. Mr, Staver says their samples have been withdrawn from the market, as they already have orders booked that will keep them busy for the next five months. The temptation to collect illegal fees from pensioners was a little too much for Major Moore, of Buffalo, N. Y. A jury recently found him guilty on five points of the indictment, and his sentence is now apt to make him regret that the cruel war is over. It now begins to look like wat in South America. Report has it that Santa Ana, with large quantities of arms, ammunition, stores and money has fallen into the hands of the Brazilian rebels, The rebels are head ed by Generals Saraiva and Salgado. Watering his milk, being detected, and getting fined $100 for the mean trick, convinced Heniy Newman, of Little Falls, New York, that " suicide is no si ." Accordingly he cut his throat last Sunday, leaving an opening for some one else to cry, " sweet milk butter milk and cream " along the route he used to travel. Miss Sarah Moody, daughter of Dr. Moody, of Sunbury, died at her home on Tuesday night at eleven o'clock. She was a young lady of lovely disposi tion, and was very popular in Blooms burg, where she has visited frequently, and had made a large circle of friends whose warmest sympathies are with the bereaved family in their affliction. The river is full of devices for catching fish illegally, and there is a vast amount of fishing with nets con stantly going on. Somebody whose business it is to look after these things is evidently not very active in the dis charge of his duties. After all, it is the fault of the State that this condi tion of affairs exists, for it does not provide sufficient compensation for the proper officials whose duty it is to stop illegal fishinj. J. R. Townsend is the leading Mer chant Tailor of Columbia county. See his advertisement on fourth page. tf.

The Elks of the United States are in a state of turmoil over the question of observing the Sabbath. Because of violating a circular order emanating irom tne urand trustees and prohibit ing Sunday meeting ; picnics, &c, eight Elk lodgas were recently sus pended. Gen. p. H. Hastings, General Tas. W. Latta, Congressman Robinson, of Media ; Monroe H. Culp and several other visitors to the town, visited the Normal School on Wednesday after noon, escorted by a number of the trustees and other citizens. Speeches were made before the school by the first three named. Their addresses were mostly of a humorous character. The visitors were surprised and pleas ed at the magnitude of the school and the beauty of the town. H. J. Clark & Son have placed one of the latest improved national cash registers in their store. It is nickle plated, and not only shows the amount of each purchase at the top, but prints a ticket with the date and amount of purchase, and registeis the same amount on a strip of paper inside, and shows the total amount of sales at any desired hour of the day. There is no more complete machine of the kind made. On Thursday evening, October 4th, Mr. Takeo Noya, a native of Japan, will deliver a stereopticon lecture in Trinity Reformed church on that country. He is a fluent speaker, well versed in the English language, and his views are the finest of the kind ever made. Such a lecture at this time, when China and Japan are at war with each other, will be of great interest, and no one should fail to hear it. An admission of 25 cents for adults and 15 cents for children will be charged. All are invited. A Republican meeting was held in the Opera House on Wednesday even ing. Speeches were made by Messrs. Hastings, Latta and ex Governor Beaver. Another meeting was held in the court house which was address ed by Messrs. Beaver, Robinson and Hastings. The Catawissa and Ber wick bands were present, with delega tions from those towns, and also irom Danville and Milton, and from up the creek. The fight seems to be special ly for Congress. Why was not M. H. Kulp, the Republican candidate who was present, called on for a speech ? The Sunbury Democrat says that he can't even deliver a speech that some body else would write for him.

I lower died at his home on Fifth street on Friday last, leaving a widow and six children to survive him. fie was a brother of Dr. II. C. Hower, and A. Z. Hower, and had re sided here for many, years. The fu neral was held on Sunday afternoon. Among the charters issued by the State Department on the 24th, in. stant, we cull the following : "The Bloomsburg Car Manufactur ing Company, Bloomsburg; capital, $200,000. Directors, John K. Lock ard, George M. Lockard, Richard W. Oswald, Bloomsburg." Wm. Hess' home, at Forks, was destroyed by fire on last Saturday night at u o'clock. All his household goods were destroyed and no insur ance, lhat night the two children were at Grandpa's, 400 yards away, and hence were not consumed. The usual custom was to put them to bed early. They certainly would have been cremated on Saturday night if at home. Wm. and wife had just come from Orangeville, lit a bad lamp, went out to milk the cows and, in a few moments afterward their home was in flames beyond redemption. Bridge Inspectors' Beport. We, the undersigned inspectors of the river bridge at Bloom Ferry, do report : "That, having all been pres ent at the view of said bridge and having all been first duly severally sworn, we have reviewed, inspected and carefully examined the same, and are of the opinion that it is completed in a workmanlike and substantial manner, complying fully with the con tracts entered into with the Commis sioners of said county for that pur pose. " We also are of the opinion that the quality of the woik obtained is largely due to the watchfulness the present board of Commissioners have had over the work, and that the many valuable suggestions offered by Mr. John A. Wilson, civil engineer of Philadelphia, in his report to the Commissioners, was well profited by. In the masonry of the south abutment the question may be raised as to whether the specifications have been lived up Jo, but from information ob tained from Mr. James Brown, en gineer in charge of the work, we are not in a position to say that an infer ior class of work has been obtained." Hudson Owen, Daniel Mc Henry, Ins. Matthew McReynolds, J Death at a Funeral. Recorder Thomas Green, of Phila delphia, was buried on the 24th in stant. His boyhood friend and com panion, Daniel Schofield, though sick himself, was so anxious to show this last mark of respect that he under took to attend the funeral. Having reached Philadelphia, he took a hack, giving the driver orders where to take him. Upon reaching the point desig nated the driver was astounded to find his passenger sitting upright as if asleep, but in fact dead. A brother in the city looked after his remains and burial. It was remarked as a peculiar coincidence that these two friends should have their lives com. menced and terminated so near to gether. Radically Bight. As useful a man as has struck the weak spots of New York city for many a year is the radically riht Dr. Parkhurst. Right next to "holy water" the radically wrong of New York hate him. But he goes for wrong doers rough shod all the same ; and. considering that he places his very lite in jeopardy, the man should have an enduring monument after his death. It should be reared to his memory by the righteously disposed and made of some everlasting material, because of his peculiarity and eccentricity in being a radically right exposer of radical wrong doers without regard to politics or religion. There is not a city in America but what needs some such martyr to the cause of righteous ness and common decency as the celebrated Dr. Parkhurst of New York. Bicycling. As Bloomsburg bicyclers are now practicing for the Fair races, the following may give them an idea of what they ought to do. On a heavy track the following was accomplished at Lancaster, Pa., on the 20th instant 1 One Mile Novice. Won by Wm. V. Furry, of Vineland, N. J. Time, 3:08. Quarter Mile Dash. T. E. Gebhart.

Daisy Majors, the sixteen years old postmistress at Wampum, Pa., has embezzled about $1,500 in the four teen months she has filled the office. Daisy is the daughter of Frank -Ma jors, of the general merchandise firm of Brady & Majors, in whose store the postofhee is located. Her downfall is due to love of fine dresses and jewel She is a petite brunette, the belle of the village, and has always been envied by the other girls on account of her captivating way. I he envy was lucreased some months ago when Daisy blossomed out in new and costly gowns that were not bought in the home dry goods stores, but were purchased at New Castle or elsewhere. Later she added diamond jewelry to her adornments and then the tongue of scandal wag ged faster than ever. The talk finally reached the ears of the girl s parents, and they began a quiet investigation of the post office accounts, which soon revealed her girl-like, poorly con cealed peculations. A post office in speclor was sent for and he yesterday concluded his examination, which showed that the girl had embezzled about $1,500. Daisy seems dazed at the discovery ol her crime, but is not grief stricken, and her friends are advancing the kleptomaniac theory. In support of this is urged the fact that she bought as much as $250 worth of dry goods at a time in New Castle and sent to the same city lor a jeweler to call on her with samples of diamonds, with out any attempt at secrecy from her friends. They were well aware that her salary warranted no such extrava gance. Daisy's father will make good the loss. J'Jx. DEMOCRACY ON THE ALEBT. On Tuesday evening, Sept. 25th, a Democratic meeting was held in the Court House at Sunbury. It was ad dressed by Hon. C. R. Buckalew and Lewis Dewart, Esq. We understand the remarks of the former gentlemen, which will be published in full in the Northumberland County Democrat of this week, were mainly devoted to an explanation ol the provisions and gen eral character of the new tariff and revenue act passed by the present Congress, in comparison and contrast with the provisions of the McKinley law of 1890. Last week Mr. Buckalew held meet ings in northern Northumberland as follows : On Wednesday evening at Watsontown, on Thursday evening at Dewart, and on Friday evening at Turbotville. On Monday evening, Sept, 24th, a Democratic meeting at Berwick was also addressed by him and by Thomas B. Hanley, esq. It will thus be seen that our candi date for Congress is performing his duty of campaign work, and will doubtless continue to do so until the election. It will become the Demo crats of this county to support him, and their other candidates with zeal and diligence, in order to secure a full and fair vote and a proper measure of success at the election. Our advice to every Democrat is, go to work. Don t wait for someone else to go forward and perform the duty of the hour. Do this for yourself and for the cause, and right results will follow. Wars and Bumars of War. There is trouble brewing among foreign governments to day, over in ternational affairs involving certain rights and privileges, which if not soon amicably adjusted may involve a half- dozen foreign nations in the bloodiest kind of war against eacn other, tne fight will start between France and England, but where it will end God only knows if hostilities once com mence. The seat ot me present cui ference petween France and England is Madagascar, and the subjects of the Hova government are said to be incited by Great Britain to resist the demands of France. & Iettef of RECOMMENDATION.

Between war, and the black plague and actual starvation, surely the Corean portion of the Chinese army is in a deplorable condition. Report has it, whether false or true, that some of the Chinese troops are dying of hunger. Many others opposed to the horrors of war, and agreeing with Ingersoll that " suicide is no sin," are taking their own lives. As a speedy means of depleting the ranks of the enemy the Japs should endeavor to supplant Confucius with Ingersoll's theology in China. If Ingersoll were not so particular about his own life he might be engaged as a Japanese missionary to China, and thus by inducing all heathendom to suicide he might live to some good purpose after all. We so frequently see evil overruled for good that we shall not be surprised to see it yet in the eccen tric case of the " royal Robert." It covers a good deal of ground Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery. And when yijhear that it cures so many diseases, perhaps you think " It's too good to be true." But it s only reasonable. As a blood-cleanser, flesf '.milder, and strength-restorer, nothing like the " Discovery is known to medical science. The diseases that it cures come from a torpid liver, or from iti pure blood. For everything of th' nature, it is the only guaranteed re medy. In Dyspepsia, Biliousness ; all Bronchial.

Miss Minnie Glass, a highly re spected young lady of Jamestown, O., had all preparations made for her marriage to Charles Bush, a promi nent young man of that place, when she was taken suddenly ill Thursday afternoon. The physicians, after con sultation, announced she could live but a few hours. Miss Glass requested that the wedding take place so that if she died she would be the wife of the man she loved. Yesterday at noon the dying young woman and heart broken lover were united in marriage. Just twelve hours afterward Mrs. Bush expired. It's easy enough the Call corset.
