The heart trouble known as en largement of this organ, is not the most deplorable malady. It were well, indeed, should enlargement of the heart toward God and humanity, become more generally contagious. One word describes it "perfec tion."

' The first Democratic political meet ing in the history of the place was held at Elk Grove -on the 16th at Perry's Hotel. There was a good turn out and the meeting was addressed1 by Hon. A. L.

A large and enthusiastic Democratic meeting was held at Diltzs School house, Sugarloaf Iwp., on the 17th, and was addressed by Hon. A. L. Fritz land J G. Harman, Esq. The officers were as follows : Pres. Thos, Smith, Vice Pres. W. B. Peterman, bee. Clarence Laubach. District Attorney Thomas B. Hanly was first on the program, on Monday night, in the series of monthly Y. M. C. A. lectures. He spoke to a crowded house, notwithstanding the Institute entertainment on the same evening His remarks on the subject of " Com mon Law for Common People," were highly instructive and edifying. A good house was drawn by Byron King on the first night in the lecturt course of the leachers Institute. There is no mistake about the ability and training of Mr. King as an elo cutionist, contortionist and ventrilo quist, His renditions cover a wide range, running from common sense to nonsense, from the painfully pathetic to the highly ridiculous and humorous.

Reading has hit upon a novel way to raise potatoes for the city hospital this winter, having taxed each school child one potato. There being 10,000 scholars in the different schools, if each one pays the tax it will give the hospital 10,000 potatoes or enough to supply the demand for the winter. Unless the size is prescribed the chances arc that some small potatoes will be thrown in to meet this pei capita tax. THREE STRIKES Solid back Lair brush, 25c. Beautiful horn comb, 5c.

VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The High School Building for the caa of the Institute. The Superintendent of public schools for Columbia County states in his programm for the Institute : " The Directors will please meet in the upper courtroom in the Court House. This change of place for holding the meet ing is necessary because the Blooms burg directors, for the first time re quire that the sum of $10.00 be paid the treasurer of their board for jani tor's services, heat &c." LETTER OF SUPERINTENDENT. Bloomsburg, Pa,, Sept. ao, 1894. Robert R. Little, Esq. Sec'y. Bloomsburg School Board, Bloomsburg, Pa. Sir. Please ascertain to let me know by' Tuesday Sept. 25th whether or not I am to have the High School Building for the usual time in which to hold part of the exercises of the county institute we have been using the High School room Tuesday a. m. Wednesday a. m. and Thursday a. m., also one other room Thursday a. m. for the meeting of the directors' association. We also have announced as hereto fore in circular of examinations that there will be an examination held in the High School Building on Saturday Sept. 29. I desire to know also by the 25th whether or not I am to have use of the building on that day. Respectfully, William C. Johnston, Co. Supt. A meeting of the Board of Directors was held on Saturday evening Sept. 22 at which all the members were present, to consider the foregoing a plication. The matter was considered some what at length. The Board in previous years had paid irom its treasury the sum of five dollars for janitor's services alone nuring institute week for the care of the High School building when used for institute purposes and it was further stated that the Board had been informed that the County Super intendent had also paid the janitor from seven dollars and a half last year upwards in former yeais addi tionally for the Same services. It was also reported to our Board that the Superintendent had been 00 cupving the High School building for holding examinations therein without first making request for such use or obtaining permission, and the further information being brought to the at tention of the Board that the County Commissioners had provided an office for the Superintendent in the Court House as provided by law, whereupon the toilowing resolutions were unani mously adopted : "The use of the High School Build ing will be accorded to the Directors, Teachers and Instructors during the session ot the County Institute, and that the sum of $10 for janitor's services, heat &c. be requested to be paid to the Treasurer of the Board therefor; and that the janitor be in structed to have in readiness the building under the direction of the proper committee. That the use of the building for the purpose of holding an examina tion as indicated jn the Superintend ent's letter be refused, unless arrange ments shall have been previously made therefor by the County Commission ers." The statement of the Superinten dent in his circular in so far as it is intended to convey the impression that the use of the High School building in former years has been granted gratuitously, without compen sation for any services is false. The Board in its action above recited determined that all such 'con.pens--tion should be made to the treasurer where it -could be properly accounted for in the annual' settlement and they would make satisfactory settle ment with the janitor for extra services, and therefore requested that the small s,um of ten dollars should be paid the treasurer of the tlistrict. The above statement and extract from the minutes are directed to be published by unanimous vote of the. board at a meeting held October 23, 1894. Roirr. R. Little. Sec'y. Bear Gap. A meeting advertised for Bear Gap was duly held, and was addressed by C. E. Small, Esq., Secretary of the Committee, and by Hon. E. M. Tewksbury, and is reported as being brimfull of enthusiasm, and able to bring out and hold the vote for the Democratic ticket on election day. A full vote is a victory. The Repub licans cannot steal a march on the Democrats and the whole ticket will go through with a rush. Leave no man at home, was the exhortation of the speakers. Protected industries in Mr. Wilson's district are reported as closing wher. ever they can be induced to do so, in order to give the calamity howler a better chance to howl, while unpro tected industries find no trouble what ever about keeping in motion at a fair profit. ELECTION DAY, NOVEMBER 6TH. A CLEAN NOMINATION AND A CLEAN OAMPAIQN. On last Thursday evening we listen ed in the Court-House, to our first political speeches this fall. We could but pronounce them good ones, they being the frank, candid and open re view of the issues now confronting us, and the attitude of the two parties upon those issues as observed by two distinguished gentlemen, namely, Hon. C. R. Buckalew and Rev. Charles T. Steck. The house was well filled. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Chrisman in a few appro priate remarks and an organization effected by the election of Dr. Harter President, Dr. Redeker, Isaac Yost, James Quick, and John Gordon, Vice Presidents, and W. F. Bodine, and Louis Townsend, Secretaries. Mr. Buckalew and Rev. Steck being no strangers to this community, the President remarked that a formal in troduction was unnecessary, and, with out further comment, he yielded the floor to Mr. Buckalew. However effectual or ineffectual the Btrut, pomp, or spreadeagle style of potoical oratory may be, we observe nothing whatever of it in Mr. Buck alew's straightforward and unvarnish ed delivery. We think the secret of his past success in public life lies in his unaffected simplicity of manner, and his earnestness of righteous pur pose politically and morally consid ered, as well as his recognized ability. And if gray hairs are worthy of due honor and respect on the part of an untried civilian, they are doubly so on the part of a clean-handed public official in these degenerate days. Clean handed public men being the great want of these times, we are in favor of all such men as Buckalew. Though his remarks were rather brief he evaded no important point at issue between the parties, and he clearly defined his past and present attitude upon the essential features of the issues now at stake. As regards his attitude toward the pehsioned soldiers, upon whose votes the Re publican party would build higher and stronger than it really deserves, , he successfully threw a wet blanket over a good many false imputations against him, as to how he would strike the pensioned soldiers, &c, if elected, As a soldier, and pensioned for cause deemed sufficient under a Democratic administration, we are quite willing to take our chances with Buckalew as a Representative. And had the Repub lican pauy seen fit to do as well by us we should still be willing to take our cnances with Buckalew as representative, faking his word to be as good as his bond the soldier proper need have no fear, whatever may befall frauds and dead beats on the pension roll. If there are none such on the roll, then all are safe so far as Buckalew is concerned. He also clearly defined his attitude upon the moderate taxation of sugar and intoxicants and upon incomes, as a reliable means of revenue, so long as more revenue is needed than other legitimate -sources provide. While men may differ with him along these lines and upon these questions of political economy, no one hearing him will doubt his sincerity or de nounce as unstatesmanlike or as un worthy the reasons he advances for the position he holds. He is a safe man and a worthy man to represent this congressional district, for soldier and civilian alike, and furthermore the principles he advocates will surely benefit the masses, confound the classes and tend toward the equitable government contemplated by the founders. At the close of Mr. Buckalew's re marks President Harter introduced a fine looking gentleman whose silvery white hair and manly physique indi cated the orator of mature thoucht. Nor were the audience disapnointed as they listened to the eloquence of ev. inanes l . steck, of Shamokin, the same who was given a compli mentary vote during the struggle for nomination. Not being in the best of health. Mr. Steck came more to fulfill his oro- mise than to electrify or thrill the audience. He touched upon the topics at issue, however, with force and cl6 quence and elicited rounds of ap plause from his appreciative audience. iiis remarks were well calculated to enlighten the voter along the differ ent lines of policy pursued by the waring parties. The relation of capi tal to labor being a theme upon which he dwelt in such a way as to demora lize those who hold that hieh tariff I means plenty of work and high wages. With good effect he incidentally in troduced that ridiculed but eenuine fiiend of the lowly, B. F. Butler, his remarks and demonstration being quite pertinent and incontrovertible. Mr. Steck is not only a gentleman of pleasing address and logical argu ment, but, best of all, one whose sym pathies reach out to the lowly who are worthy of sympathy wherever they are oppressed by the selfish and grasp ing, no matter whether it be done by force of calculating law or by inherent meanness and undue anxiety to ac quire fabulous wealth through govern mental favor. Heartily agreeing with the speaker along the line of fabulous wealth as a constant menace to pure government, his remarks ian right Suits and Overcoats coming in daily and warm sunshiny weather has had the effect of piling our clothing half way up to the ceiling to keep it down is our object. There's nothing that will make goods move so quickly as low prices and here's how we do it ; THE BEST all wool black cheviot suit that you've seen in a long while for 6.00 THE BEST all wool men's fancy cheviot suit in neat patterns that we've ever sold at 7.90 Men's all wool blue or black kersey over coats at 7.50 We guarantee these prices against any in Moutour, Lu zerne or Columbia counties.

THE Te e Bu$ire College, Wilkes-Barre, along the line of our convictions and I were, therefore, quite entertaining to the writer at least, while the applause of others indicated that he was touch ing their views also.
