The Danville fair is on this week,
do clown and see it.
V. F. Hartman, of East Main street,
having added greatly to the appear
ance of his buildings is now giving
attention to the parking about them.

"Be sure you're right, then go
ahead," sounds well in the romances.
But those that make their business
hum go ahead and take the chances.
Mr. C. M. Hess, confectioner, &c,
now occupying the Mrs. Phillips stand
on Main street, . contemplates further
improvement of his spacious ice
cream and oyster parlor.
Hon. C. R. Buckalew and Rev.
Charles H. Steck will speak in the
Court House this Thursday evening
on the issues of the day. Let there be
a rousing meeting.
Rishton's windows are always ar
ranged in an attractive manner. One
of them contains a shower of tooth
brushes, and the other is filled with
beautiful cut-glass bottles.
A visit to E. A. Rawlings neat and
clean meat store on Center street is
apt to make the most fastidious hun
gry, no matter whether he be Jew or
Gentile.
The celebrated "Apollo" and "Val
ey Novelty" ranges are now on exhi
bition and for sale at the hardware
store of Hartman & Harman. "4t.
Workmen are now busily engaged
putting down a remarkably fine pave
ment on East 5th street. As it leads
clear out to Oak Grove Park, it is
very apt to enhance the value of pro
perty in this section.
For instance, Mrs. Chas. Rogers, of
Bay City, Mich., accidentally spilled
scalding water over her little boy. She
promptly applied DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve, giving instant relief. Its a
wonderful good salve for burns, bruises,
sores, and a sure cure for Piles. W.
S. Rishton, Druggist. tf.
John Joy, of California, is no longer
joyful, he having recently been sen
tenced to life imprisonment, by Judge
Wallace, under the habitual criminal
act. His last crime was that of rob
bing a man of $5, and this in conne
tion with a long series of accumula
tive crimes deprives him all personal
liberty hereafter.
A factory that could supply bridles
for the tongues of all the scanc'al
mongers who are plying their infamous
vocation hereabouts, would do a good
business. Of all the trash that has been
put in circulation recently, there is
probably not one word of truth, and
H may be safely asserted that the
parties who are so regardless of the
reputation of others will be found in
residences composed largely of glass.
The recent train robbery at Acquia
Creek, Va., whereby $182,000 was
stolen, is supposed to have been
planned and headed by the notorious
George Carter, who, besides being a
practical engineer, is quite familiar
with the neighborhood in which the
robbery took place. This robbery has
the distinction of being the largest on
record, and up to present writing the
bandits are at large. With 300 pass
engers on board the train it seems
strange that seven men should thus
succeed in getting away with all that
money.

Bloomsburg is one of the few towns
that has not felt the full force of the
business depression. The younger
element is at the front there, energy
and enterprise are everywhere mani
fest, and new industries are being es
tablished, with the result that the town
is one of the best in the State. Wil

A large and enthusiastic political
meeting was addressed at Rohrsburg
last Thursday eve. by Fred. Ikeler
and Jno. G. Harman, Esqs. The
officers were as follows. Pres. G. W.
Utt, Esq. Vice Presidents, Wesley
Morris, C. II. Dildine, Jno. Gillaspie,
and Dr. J. B. Fullmer. Sec. Wm. J.
Kreamer.
The Committeeman lor this district,
Peter Kline, esq., is a hustler and the
arrangements were complete.
When milliners tell reporters that
they have more business and orders
than they can handle, it would seem
to be high time to conclude that busi
ness is picking up generally. This we
are pleased to report as a positive
fact in Bloomsburg. It is possibly the
result of many new bonnets ordered
during the fair. We give it as we got
it and for what it is worth to the ca
lamity howler, who will be sad enough
to hear of this highly indicative boom,
in bonnets,
The twelve years in penitentiary
which was recently given the train
wreckers De Camp and McConnell
is pronounced a long term by some
folks, we find; but, in view of the
heinousness of the crime, anything
short of life imprisonment at hard
labor is too short in our opinion. If
the perpetrator of a single deliberate
murder must suffer the penalty of
death, why the train wrecker who
cares not how many he kills in con
sequence, should certainly never have
the second opportunity to wreck a
train.
Among the most attractive exhibits
in the main building at the fair was
the painted china of Miss Nellie Pat
terson. It included a half dozen fruit
plates, cups and saucers, pin trays and
numerous other pieces. ' The painting
is exquisite, and shows the skill of a
master hand. Miss Patterson has de
voted much time to the study of art
decoration and has attained a degree
of perfection seldom reached by
amateurs. She also exhibited two oil
paintings, one a moonlight scene in
winter, and the other a landscape,
both of which possess great artistic
merit.
The Bloomsburg School Director,
editor of the Republican, in last
week's issue, attempts to justify the
Bloomsburg School Board for request
ing the payment of $10.00 for the use
of part of the High School building
for a short time during Institute week
because he says I have claimed in the
settlement and auditing of my account
that I gave the janitor a tip of an an
nual average of ten dollars.
His statement is a deliberate false
hood as I never gave the janitor a tip
for services Institute week and nev
er claimed that I did; and I never was
obliged to pay the janitor ten dollars
or an annual average of ten dollars for
his services that week, and I never
claimed that I paid him ten dollars or
an average of ten dollars.
Mr. Brown's use of the term " tip "
is unaccountable unless he is so ac
customed to "tipping" hotel waitresses
that he uses the term carelessly.
Very Respectfully,

There is no happier set of men in
Scranton than the management of
Wood's College of Business and Short
hand. The institution has never been
so prosperous. Two ot the competing
schools have already subsided.
Sometimes it can be seen to pay to
respect the Sabbath. For instance,
the World's Fair souvenir coins of a
half-dollar denomination, amounting
to $1,795,980, were lost to the board
of managers of the fair for violating
the understanding that they were to
respect the Sabbath and not to open
to the public on Sunday.
The Doctors Meet.
On Tuesday the following named
medical gentlemen, members of the
Columbia County Medical Society,
met in regular session in Bloomsburg :
Drs. F. W. Redeker of Espy, Steck of
Berwick, II. V. Hower of Mifllinville,
Follmer of Rohrsburg, Christian of
Millville, L. B. Kline of Catawissa,
H. W. McReynolds, W. M. Reber,
S. B. Arment, and J. J. Brown of
Bloomsburg.
Instructive medical papers were
read and discussed, along with a first
class dinner prepared by the well
known caterer Mr. Aurand of the
Central Hotel. Catawissa was favored
as the place for the next annual meet
ing of the society. The occasion was
enjoyable from first to last.
Baa Away With the Money.
The Jockey Minstrels gave a good
show to a big house last Saturday
night, and after the performance it
was found that the backer and his
wife had disappeared, leaving most
of the members of the company
penniless, and a week's salary due.
Another performance was given on
Monday night to raise money to get
out of town with, but not enough was
realized to pay the hotel bills. The
manager went to Wilkes Barre on
Tuesday to raise money. Some of
the musicians endeavored to sell
their instruments to get back to New
York. It is believed that the man
who ran o.f with this money was
concealed in a room in the Exchange
Hotel all day Sunday. A couple
went there about midnight and regis
tered as G. Cowles and wife, and had
their meals sent up to the room on
Sunday. About four o'clock they got
a team and were driven to Catawissa,
when they took the Pennsylvania
train to Sunbury.
On Tuesday Detective McPherson
came u;j from Northumberland with
power of attorney from the backer,
who claimed to own the goods, to
seize the same and take them away,
but he was too late, as the goods were
attached by Mr. Aurand and Mrs.
Phillips for board. Tha troupe got
away on Wednesday night, leaving
some of their baggage to pay board
bills.

Candidate for State Senator, James
Henry Cochran, was in Bloomsburg
Friday attending the fair. He met a
great many of Columbia County's
leading Democrats, and was accompa
nied by Seth T. McCormick, John J.
Reardon, Seth Foresman and Judge
Metzger of Williamsport, all of whom
are interested very deeply in Mr.
Cochran's securing a large Democratic
vote in the district.
Mr. Cochran is deservedly popular
and makes friends wherever he ap
pears, and there is no doubt but that
he will carry the district by over 5000
majority. He and his friends were en
tertained at dinner at the house of
Senator Herring in the evening, and
left on the 8:18 train for Williamsport.
Vote the Democratic ticket.

The chairman has arranged 30 to
40 meetings to be held in Columbia
county between now and the election,
on November 6. Speakers will be
detailed for these meetings, and every
one of them will be duly addressed by
several competent persons.
The committeeman in each district
will be expected to provide the house
or place for the meeting, and to see
that the notices are posted and duly
circulated. They will at once put
themselves in communication with
the county chairman, at Bloomsburg,
and give him from time to time such
information on the state ol the can
vass as they can obtain. They and
the vigilance committee are expected
and directed to see every voter in the
district, and see that no one stays at
home on the day of the election.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty-
tf Wm. Chrisman, Chairman.
Theatrical Entertainment.
There is no doubt that manager
Holmes would feel more encouraged
in his efforts to provide theatrical en
tertainment for the citizens of Blooms
burg were they more disposed to pat
ronize the theatre. But is it not the
truth that the nomadic troupes are
somewhat to blame in their want of
ability not to say respectability to
attract and hold those who are apt to
seek an evening's entertainment at
the theatre. To advertise high toned
entertainments is one thing, but the
more important thing is to make peo
ple believe they are edifying and prop
er entertainments after having been
fooled over and over again. Fooled
by the stereotyped expression, "no of
fence to the most fastidious," on the
one hand, and the highest kind of high
kicking, &c. on the other hand.
