Highest of all In Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Pbwder
ABSOLUTELY PURE
The town is full of livery hacks
that have come in from all the adjoin
ing towns to carry passengers to and
from the fair grounds. It may be thit
the facilities of the home liveries are
not sufficient to carry the crowds,
but judging from the number of empty
hacks that have driven around most
of the time during the last two or
three fairs, it is likely that they have.
The town ought to charge a license
fee to every public hack that comes
from outside the town limits.

A flood of light (electric) was turn
ed on to Shickshinny on the evening
of the 3d instant, as we observe by
the congratulatory report of it by
neighbor Tubbs, of the Mountain
Echo. If their light never sizzes,
flickers, threatens to go out, and ac
tually goes out, it will be better than
some electric lights that we know of.
We have known the brightest and
lovliest kind of weddings, and most
sacred and zealous church devotions
to be suddenly left in utter darkness
because of the eccentricity and insta
bility of the electrical current. If
Shickshinny has secured the more re
liable kind of lightning for light, she is
indeed to be congratulated.
"After the Ball," will be at the
Opera House Thursday night. It is a
purely farcical company which made
a brilliant financial success last season.
The Company will be headed by that
exceedingly clever comedian, Emmit
Corngan, lately with Charles Froh
man's Empire Theatre Stock Co. He
also scored a hit in " Hannele," at
Fifth Ave. Theatre, New York, last
season, and was the leading comedian
with Nat Goodwin. The attraction
will be first class in every respect. Mr,
Corrigah will have the support of such
artists as Mr. Chas. Drake, late of
Frohman's Gloriana Co., Miss Fay
Meroster, ot the Jane Co., Mr. Geo,
Herbert, late of Duff's Opera Co.,
ana others ot metropolitan renown.

FIRE !
About half past 10 o'clock on Friday
night fire was discovered in the black
smith and bicycle repair shop of W.
n. crossley, on Iron Street between
Second and Third. It about ruined
the contents of the shop before it was
extinguished by the firemen who re
sponded promptly. Only those in the
immediate vicinity heard of the fire
until next morning, so weak and de
fective was the alarm bell.
Peing interviewed by our reporter
Mr. Crossley reports all lost and no
insurance; that even his iron tools
were either gone entirely or scattered
in all directions, many of them now
worthless, no doubt, if found. Having
begun with nothing last fall he had
worked up a nice little business when
this misfortune struck him. How it
originated, in a closet, as it did he
cannot understand. Mr. Crossley
should take heart, gather up and fix
up his tools and shop as best he can
remembering that what he has before
accomplished he can accomplish
again.
Live Topics from Normal Hill,
Monday morning Messrs Chromis
and Logan began work on their con
tract to complete the fillinsr in and
leveling of the Normal Athletic field.
This work will be urged forward
rapidly and the field put in first class
condition for all field sports. The field
will be about three hundred fifty yards
long by one hundred fifty yards wide,
and will be therefore considerably
larger than the present athletic park
of town.
MORE CATALOGUES NEEDED.
So great has been the demand for
catalogues of the school that the very
large supply issued in Tulv is entirely
exhausted and a second issue of '94
catalogues is now being ordered.
So many letters of inquiry have
come to the Principal about the vari
ous departments of the school, that
the probability is that every available
room will be needed at the opening
of the winter term.
THE LECTURE COURSE.
Numerous inquiries have been made
about the Student's Lecture Course,
and why it has not already been an
nounced : Several things have cam
bined to delay the announcement. It
will be made very soon. When it is
made it will be a surprise and a
pleasure to the citizens of Bloomsburg
for it will be in several points the very
strongest course the Normal has ever
had.
INSTITUTE WORKERS.
The season of the year is here when
the several members of the Faculty
who do County Institute work, will be
called up very frequently. All parts of
the state find in our Faculty some one
who gives their teachers just what they
want along some special line. Dr.
Welsh has already engaged with a
large number of counties. Prof. Noet
ling also, is a standby in this work,
Prof. Albert on last Saturday severed
his connection with the active class
room work lor this term, and will
pend the next three months in Inst.
work. He has every day engaged save
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas,
from Oct. 8, to Tan. 5. 9s, getting
into some eighteen counties.

Quaker Bryn Mawr has been so beset
with titled celebrities this season that
you were liable to run up against a
lord or a count or a baron at any
moment, and it was generally safe to
set down any striking looking lady met
