Being used to worse things in
Nebraska, they say out there that the
blizzard didn't amount to much.
Though the Toor District covers
considerable territory all the directors
elected are Bloomsburgers.
David Yost, of Dutch Valley, died
on Tuesday morning, the 19th
instant, after about two weeks' sick
ness. In Washington county, Florida,
they claim to have had more snow
than ever before this winter. Still there
was no sleigh riding to speak of.
Election day was all that could be
desired by the successful candidates.
To the unsuccessful it seemed a little
too murky to be fully enjoyed.
As usual there are now more bills
before the legislature than are apt to
pull through. And as usual there are
some that ought not in equity to get
through.
The Patriotic Order Sons of Ameri
ca is a strong organization in this
town, and is rapidly growing. Judge
Ikeler was one of a number recently
initiated.
It is estimated that about 35 per
cgnt- of the cattle of Texas succumb
ed to the blizzard. About all. that
will be saved from this great loss will
be the hides of the frozen animals.
Under the auspices of John II.
Styer Camp, No. 25, Sons of Veterans,
an appropriate anniversary of the

Notwithstanding his misfortunes in
some respects, Edwin Booth left as
an inheritance for his family between
six and seven hundred thousand dol
lars. Edwin, like J. Wilkes Booth,
was a winning actor in his day.
It is said that " Old Inabilities"
the government Weather Bureau
and ever Baer's Almanac guessed
straighter than the prophets about
the weather this winter. It's been a
kind of an off winter, and that's a
fact.
An interesting child seven months
old belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Faust, was buried on Monday after
noon the i8th instant. Rev. P. A.
Heilman conducted the funeral ser
vices at the house.
Mrs. Ellen A. D. Blair, who is a
National W. C. T. U. organizer, and
"chalk talker," will speak in the
Lutheran Church next Sabbath after
noon, the 24th, at 3 o'clock ; also in
the evening at the Methodist Church.
She comes highly recommended.
The second snow storm that Sa
vannah has experienced for years
draped this southern city in white on
the night of the 14th instant. The
next day business was practically sus
pended in order to give everybody a
rare chance to snow ball. What a
treat the southerner might have if he
lived in this latitude and got into the
beautiful snow up to his eyes.

John Whitenight, an aged bachelor

Mrs. Ellen A. Blair, of Nebraska,

The blizzard caused the delay of a

Yorke, written to an actor, James B.
Gentry, and, the latter growing in
sanely jealous in consequence, hasten

faithful lover. The murderer escap

bi observed that the law-making power
of Bloomsburg stands : three Republi
cans, three Democrats, and one Pro
hibitionist. That's a pretty healthy
complexion, if the Prohibitionist keeps
sober and votes right. It seems to be
a peculiar and strange case in which
the balance of power lies in the vast
minority.
Kcster is a Prohibitionist and
Creasy has been guilty of the same
offence, and yet, strange to relate,
they were both elected Creasy to the
highest town office, and Kester to
that of member of the upper house of
the town legislature. A spirit of in
difference seems to pervade the
borough atmosphere, and we can't
account for it. We are inclined to
think the cumulative s)stem is to
blame, since their votes certainly ac
cumulated fast enough to win in spite
of their past unsavory affiliations.
J. M. Gidding & Co. beg to an
nounce the opening of their spring
hats (just received) on Saturday morn
ing, February 23rd. Always look to
Gidding & Co. for the newest and
latest, and this season is no exception
to the rule. The shapes are the hand
somest that have been introduced in
a long while. Among them are the
"Youman," the "Miller- Young," and
two of their own specials, the "Nor
mal," named after the Normal school,
and the "Bloomsburg," named after
our own town. Gidding & Co. pre
dict an immense spring hat sale.
All wishing to procure good photo
graphic views and descriptions of the
places connected with the early life
of Christ and His Apostles, showing
where He was born, brought up,
baptized, tempted, transfigured and
crucified, and the various places made
sacred by the labors of Himself and
His Apostles, can easily secure them
in 24 serial parts, by taking advantage
of the liberal opportunity now offered
at Mr. Slate's popular book store in
this place. The work is gotten out
artistically, and much after the style
of the " Magic City," or World's Fair
pictures. For Mr. Slate's liberal in

In what respect are thermometers
and weather prophets alke ? Why, in
the difference they record under ap
parent like conditions. It will not do
to call each other liars about what
your thermometers recorded on a
given date, since both may be light;
for thermometers may be observed to
radically differ in recording the tem
perature, even when they hang but a
rod apart. Like many other scientific
demonstrations thermometers are only
approximately correct.
I In last week's issue we referred to
the death of Samuel L. Potter, of this
place. In perusing exchanges we find
in the Millville Tablet, published by
G. A. Potter, brother of the deceased,
an account of the death of William
Potter, ar older brother in Kansas, on
January 20th, 1895. Thus these broth
ers, aged respectively 68 and 62 years,
passed from this state of temporal
existence in less than a month apart.
Our hearty sympathies are extended
. to the bereaved ones and our fellow
I editor Mr. G. A. Potter.
On Thursday, the 14th instant,
j Mis. Rachael Battin died at the home
of her son B. F. Battin, of Blooms
burg, at the age of 81 years, 4 months,
and 14 days. She was first attacked
with paralysis in November last and
has been on the decline of life since,
having saffered several other strokes
since the first attack, the last and
fatal stroke, attacked her on Monday
last, completely disabling her and
terminating in her death about 2550 1
P. M. on the 14th inst. Two sons
and their children survive and mourn
her Ions. -
An incomprehensible thing to the
American soldier about the Japan and
China war is the small number that
are reported killed and wounded in
the various battles. Another very
significant thing is the hearty welcome
that the Chinese are reported as giving
the Japanese after a thrashing. It
looks to us as though the worst calam
ity that could befall the heathen Chi
nese (and he seems to recognize it)
would be the indefinite continuation
of prevailing conditions, and the
tyranny the serfs and peasantry are
obliged to suffer at the hands of the
ruling aristocracy of China.
More Philadelphia Thieving.
Mrs. Derrickson, of Berlin, Mary,
land, was until Friday the happy pos
sessor of $i,aoo worth of diamonds,
besides a handsome seal skin sacque.
Unfortunately, she came to "the city
of brotherly love," recently, (where
things are sometimes stolen) to visit
her daughter. It was there that she
lost them while sound asleep one night.
Though she carried her diamonds in
a chamois bag which was tied around
her neck, as loving mothers some
times fix up disinfectants for childten,
yet she awoke in the morning to find
herself deprived of much brilliancy so
far as society life is concerned. Like
many other Philadelphia thefts, official
and unofficial, there is absolutely no
clue to the vain creature who would
thus presume to put on so much style
at the expense of Mrs. Derrickson.
The Bloomsburg Candy Mf g Co.
This comparatively new establish
ment is now turning out first class
goods. While the manufactory is
located on Center street, under the
Opera House, they have also a retail
establishment at the old stand on
Main street. Here may be found
fresh-made candy of both home and
foreign manufacture. Candy is fresh
made every hour. Here children
may find pure goods, choice taffies,
French creams, caramels, bon bons,
&c. At the Main street stand may be
found dry nuts, fruits, sweet potatoes
and early vegetables also. J. Bush
and N. Maifaiera are the reliable and
gentlemanly proprietors, and they
will be pleased to accomodate cus
tomers either at wholesale or retail.

It is not pleasant to print dunning
notices in the paper, and we avoid it
as much as possible, but when an ex
amination of our books shows that
that there is a large amount outstand
ing that is needed in our business,
the necessity of calling attention to it
is forced upon us. The times are hard,
and for that reason we have been just
as lenient as possible, but expenses
are heavy, and when money does not
come in fast enough to pay them, we
must ask for what is due. All sub
scribers who owe for a year or more
will please settle before April 1st.
Statements of the amount due will be
sent through the paper to those who
are in arrears, and prompt payment is
requested. tf.
