There is but one case in the Supreme
Court from Montour county this year.
Our jobbing department is now en
gaged in printing one thousand copies
of the Normal School Quarterly, and
two paper books for the Supreme
Court, in addition to our usual big
run of miscellaneous work.

system seems to crave special assist

J. L. Girton has put anew omnibus
on the East Bloomsburg line. It holds
fourteen passengers. The travel to
the Pennsylvania station is rapidly in
creasing. Robert McBride fell from one of
the Magee houses on Fourth street,
on Thursday morning while painting,
and was badly cut about the head,
and otherwise bruised. He was re
moved to his home.
The girder over the front of J. R.
Townsend's clothing store having
rotted so that the brick work above

necessary to put in a new one, which
is of iron. B. W. Jury is doing the
work.
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.

One of the most important and far
reaching patent case decisions ever
handed down by the Supreme Court
of the United States-that of the Bate
Refrigerator Company against Ferdi
nana suu.uerger to., involving
prouauiy $000,000,000 of invested
capital, was determined for the people
and against the great telephone and
otner electrical corporations on Mon
day. The case was one upon which
depended the question of when Amen
can patents expire when foreign pat
ents nave Deen previously issued, and
it was decided in an exhaustive opin
ion by Justice Harlan.
In thus invalidating most of the ex
isting Bell and Edison telephone pat
ents as well as the patents in the Bate
case, the Court held that the invention
for which Bate received a patent was
previously patented in a foreicn conn
try, and the United States patent did
.t .t . r . .
expire wun tne loreign patents.
Among the patents effected are
three issued to the Western Union
Telegraph Company, on applications
filed by Thomas A. Edison. These in
ventions became the property of the
American Bell Telephone Company
by the telephone consolidation con
tract of November 1, 1879
These Edison patents are claimed
to be fundamental and they, with the
Berliner patent, now in litigation, and
which remained in the patent office
from 1877 to November, 1891, expire
at the date of the expiration of the
foreign patents, the first of which are
now declared to have run out last
year. The inventions have been in
use since 1878. The Edison inven
tions were patented abroad in England,
France and Canada in 1877, in Bel
gium, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Ger
many and Spain in 1878, and in Prus
sia in 1882.
They are free in foreign countries,
and under the construction now given
of section 4887 are made free in this
country. Substantially, the decision
will affect in the same way the quad
ruplex telegraph patents which were
applied lor in October, 1874, and is
sued December 15, 1885.
The incandescent lamp patents
owned by the General Electric Com
pany are also included in these, which
will be affected by the decision.
The effect of the doctrine laid down
by the Court upon other patents of a
like character is so far-reaching that
even the lawyers who filed briefs in
the case, including those representing
the Bell Telephone Company and
others not parties to this suit, cannot
fully define it.
A COMPLETE OVERTURNING.
The early inventions of Mr. Edison
in the telegraph, the telephone, the
phonograph, electric lighting and the
electric railway, those made and form
ing the subject matter of patent appli
cations prior to 1882, were patented
upon a construction of the statute the
reverse of that which was subsequently
held by Judge Nixon and the Circuit
Courts of the United States, which is
thus upheld by the highest tribunal of
the land. Almost all applications
were made upon the theory that if you
first apply for your American patent,
then apply for and issue your foreign
patent, the life of the American pat
ent will not be limited thereby. If
the Supreme Court had taken this
monopolistic view of the case and re
versed the Circuit Courts, all patents
which were not issued in the United
States 17 years ago and for which no
foreign application was made prior to
the date of the American application,
would have been found to be possess
ed of a more or less extensive term of
existence.

Personally-Conducted Tours to Florida via
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Undoubtedly one of the most origi
nal and hiehlv patisfactorv creations
of the Pennsylvania Railroad is the
inauguration ot personally conducted
lours under the supervision and direc
tion of a Tourist Agent and Chaperon,
ana tne marked success and popular
ity of the tours to Florida are due to
several causes ; the complete apoint-
ment ot the special trains, the liberal
ity of the rate and the return limit of
tickets, are among the features that
have attracted the traveling public.
The next tour of this vear's series
to Jacksonville, allowing two week's
. . Hi a .
stay in norma, win leave New York
and Philadelphia on March 12. The
rate, including transportation, meals
en route, and Pullman berth on

What Dr. MacTaggart
HAS DOME AND IS DOING.
The Doctor wishes the publH to understand
that he Is not soliciting Mk ordinary run of
cases, but desires Just such diseases to treat
that other physicians cannot succeed with or
at least fall to cure. When yoi stirrer from
such iimnull him (consultation Is free), have
him thoroughly diagnose your case, and then
what he tells you can be relied upon as a tact
beyond refutation. Some may say, "Why go to
Dr. MacTaggart when we hare as good doctors
here as anywhere?" Yes, so you have In their
line of practice, but tutl In those specialties
that Dr. MacTaggart Is schooled nnd ptacllced
In. In support of this umiualltled assertion
read hln testimonials not only read them, but
Investigate the truthfulness of them. Where
are the physicians who can remove cancers
without pain and cure It beyond peradveutureT
He does It. Where can: you find another phy
sician In Pennsylvania who can remove tumors
of even to pounds weight without the use of
the knife, without pain, and without leaving a
scar? Dr. MacTaggart does It. What physi
cian can cure tlstulas without cutting or caus
ing the least pain or soreness during treatment?
Dr. MacTaggart does It successfully. These
are golden trut hs ode because It proves be
yond dispute that the science of medicine In
specialties particularly. Is advancing with
rapid strides far In the lead ot the regular
