THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. A NEWSPAPER EPISODE- The Editor, at a Judge, Diplomatically Gets Subscriber to Pay Up. John M. Lamb, editor of the De Lamar, Idaho, Nugget, got on a rampage the other clay, unslung his gun and took the camp. When he sobered down and got his senses he fined himself $50, he being a high mogul justice of the peace. When he fined himself he told the constable to put the culprit in jail at once if the fine was not Daid. The editor and justice of the peace had to go to the damp jail. His wife roared like a lioness and vowed she would burn the jail down if her precious consort were not liberated at once. The newspa per man and justice of the peace who stood behind the bars as a righteous act of his justice, told the constable to stand firm and execute and respect the order of the court. The woman fainted, and by this time the commun ity was aroused from centre to circum ference and there was limburger cheese on the moon and a graveyard impression on the faces of a large throng of troubled people. The mob made a mad rush for the bastile, and in their frenzy twisted the door of! its hinges and requested Mr. Lamb to walk out. He refused unless the fine and costs were paid. The mob want ed to know what the fine and costs would be. He took a eood look at the infuriated mob and told them tin. A oaner was circulated and the money was raised in a jiffy, and they handed the finance to the cccen trie iustice of the peace and paradoxi cal scribe. He paid the constable $10 for his fees and gave the jailer $5 for his lodging and $10 to have the door of the jail repaired. In the meantime the hero of the escapade told the spectators to be present the next morning at his temple of justice. About 9 o'clock A. M. the judge and bland editor opened court. The first thing he did was to remit his own fine of $50. The journalist and peace officer then informed the audi ence that he had $200 in cash that had been given for his treedom from durance vile on the previous day. He asked as a favor that every indi vidual who had pungled up a cent towards his liberation from prison come forward and give his name and the amount he had subscribed. Just 11a men and a small boy arose and moved towards his Honor. It was a case where each man put up two dollars apiece and a boy one dollar. After considerable bookkeeping and figuring on his books he vociferated in a baritone voice for the 112 men and boy to march up in front of the railing. The man of judicial ermine and a Napoleon Bonaparte eye for cute journalism stood before his friends and trembled for awhile with mute emotion. He then heaved a loyesick sigh and handed each man a two-dollar receipt for delinquent sub scription to his newspaper right there on the spot. Everything was so still . in the court room while this was going on that the sizzing hum a little pea nut roaster would have sounded like the thundering intonation of Vesuvius hen belching forth its red-hot lava. This is the only instance in the his tory of the world where a newspaper man made $190 by fining it. Eli VUlard. ULEAB1N3 UP A MYSTERY, ' important Testimony Given Against Two Men Undor Arrest at Wilkes-Barre. It now looks as though the mystery surrounding one of the most brutal murders ever committed in Luzerne county is about to be cleared up. On the night of November 17, 189.3. four men went to the house of Barney Reich, an old and inoffensive citizen, mAe a livinn bv huckstering. One of the men, who was disguised, told Reich he and his companions had a carload of potatoes on a rail road track near by which they would sell him cheap. Reich saul he wouiu eo and look at the potatoes. He first B . I 4 . nut r( went up stairs nu iuu the bureau drawer with which to pay for the potatoes, should he decide to purchase. When the party reached the rail road yard Reich was sandbagged and robbed of all his money. Reich died the next day. Two thousand dollars reward was offered for the arrest of the murderers, but no clue was obtain r, until some weeks aeo, when two men n amed Michael Kearney and Henrv Hendricks, were placed under arrest. The counsel for Kearney made application to the court for the release of their client on the ground that there was no evidence to connect him with the case. The Commonwealth produced Ray Bover. who testified that on the night of the murder Kearney, Hendricks and Jack Robinson were at his home ami were much confused and excited. Thev went to the sink and washed their hands and faces, and the witness .iw hlond in the sink and on Hen dricks' coat. Robinson said he could not rest, and left the house. Hen Hrirlcs remained at Bover's house until mornine. " After they washei their hands," continued Boycr, " they sat at the table and Hendricks said Divvy up, Robinson.' Jack pulled a roll of bills out and began to divide it. I asked for some money to buy nrnvisions and Tack cave me $5. I asked where they got the money and Tack said We done Reich.'"

One can but marvel at the wonder ful extent of meaning that the word " Finish " acquires when used by an Arab who. with only half a dozen other English words at his command strives to eive you several dozen nieces of information. " Finish " does duty on any and every occasion ; and as it seems sufficiently elastic to them all. we blush to think how ex travagant are we when we use many words to express the same thought. " Money hnisn f is tne pert query of the disappointed boy who has failed to secure you tor customer and can trunk ot no otner earthly reason for your not yielding to his representations except the lack of cash : or " Finish," says the guide who has shown you all that even his fertile brain can think up to point out to you j and so it goes. " Plenty is another abused word ; and " Plenty time, plenty money is the remark hurled at you by the coachman if you remonstrate at his exorbitant demand after a drive, and you are expected immediately to ex tricate the meaning that you nave been out a long time and must pay accordingly for the privilege.

NOTHING LIKE IT. Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Makes Another Remarkable Cure. (From tho Times Vnlon, Albany, N. Y.) Four years ago, Mrs. Markham, who rcides on First Street, corner of North Swan, noticed a sensitive spot on her left limb. It was apparently nothing serious, but soon developed into a sore, and before long the limb was a mass ot ulcers. Markham em ployed some of our best physicians, but obtained no relief. In fact, was told that nothing could be done for her, so for four years she suffered with these dreadful ulcers, which had eaten their way to the bone. A little less than a year ago, an acquaintance told her about Dr. David Kennedy s ravonte Remedy, and that he believed she would find relief in usinK it. Mrs. Markham's four years of suffering had made her skeptical, the more so, as she had ob tained no relief from any of the phy sicians who had attended her. The friend offered to send her a bottle of Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy if she would try it. He did so, and there was such a decided im provement that she concluded to give the remedy a fair test. To day, not quite a year after taking the first dose, the ulcers have disappeared, all that is left to show what she has suffered, ' is a swelling on the ankle of the left limb, which is fast disappearing. Mrs. Markham is naturally strong in her praises of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, and feels that but for it she would now be a helpless cripple, if not a corpse. Such a straight forward endorse ment needs no comment. Dr. Ken nedy's Favorite Remedy cures dis eases when taken according to direc tions, it acts directly upon the kidneys, liver and blood. In cases of nervous ness, dyspepsia, rheumatism, ulcers, old sores, blood poisoning, and Bright's disease, it has made pronounced cures, after all other treatments have failed. 21. FOR THE AMATEUR DRESSMAKER. Hints by Which Mia May Transform All Her Old (Irnrni, She Is no true woman who does not enjoy the process of making-over, who, when she buys her beat frock does not look forward to the dny when It shall be her second beet, and who doesn't spend time and thought In construct ing a Paris costume out of odds and ends. I3ut she frequently errs. She often buys new trimming Instead of new linings; she does not pay enough attention to Ironing; she attempts styles that would daunt a graduate of Worth. Fresh linings are the first requisite. Nothing makes a skirt hang so well as crisp, new linings, whether they be silk or sateen. Nothing makes a bodice At better than a lining which is prop , crly stretched, whalebones which are stiff, sleeve-protectors which are fresh, and the like. Next to the newness of linings the most Important factor In the appear ance of the made-over gown Is the way In which the material Itself haa been cleaned and pressed. The wash tub Is ruinous to moBt fabrics, but sponging with benzine or naphtha will restore them to almost their orig inal lustre. They should then be hung on a line In the open air until all odor Is blown away. Then they should be pressed. And on the pressing a great deal depends. The wrong side should be next to the iron. White material should not ccver the Ironing board on which dark dress material Is to be pressed. The goods should be smoothly and firmly pressed, but Should not be stretched to any great extent When these preliminaries have been arranged the pattern must be choBen and cut carefully. The skirt should be made and finished to the last hook and eye and the loops by which it is to be hung up, before the waist Is at tempted. The lining for the bodice Rhould be cut and carefully fitted be- 1 j.K.--iicufor jMsriiion. raralvnin. BInRle Dottle (over SO deweg), - - .00 rjtablo Cnm, with Specific".

In these days of combinations mak ing over is a comparatively simple matter. There Is practically no limit to the colors and materials which may be harmoniously blended. Big sleeves, revcrs. Jackets, Jabots, gir dles and stock collars are all the home dressmaker's friends. With a narrow band of passementerie to outline the bottom of her old black skirt, more passementerie to trim big revers of new black silk, a crush collar with a laco Jabot and a crush girdle, the clever woman can now-a-days con vert her least promising old gown Into a thing of elegance and beauty.

He had done a stroke or two of good business dur ing the day ; but, being naturally an easy tempered fellow, he said nothing. When dessert was reached, his wife laid to him. " I didn't tell you be fore, dear, but as a treat I cooked the whole dinner today for you myself." M Oh, that's it, is it ? I owe the cook an apology " "An apology?" she asked. For what ?"

I do not approve of the extent to which club life among women haa been carried, writes Ruth Ashmore in an article deprecating "The Restless ness of the Age" in the Ladies' Home Journal. I do think it charming for women to meet and talk over that which is interesting to each other, but I rather like the old-fashioned way, when all womankind met in the af ternoon, some with a bit of fancy work, some with hands that were resting, and then, as it grew near sup per time, the husbands and sons ap peared, and after supper all had a merry time together. The advamied woman says that was the day of go Bip, but I have been the invited guest of many clubs, and I have never heard at a tea party as much malicious gos sip as I have in these clubs, which, first of all. demand that the members shall be sisters in words as well as la deeds. This sounds poaltive, but, my dear alrl. it is true. The malice and evil speaking that come out in the "society" are Just as prominent in the "club," and are, I think, a little more darina. The desire for position Is great, and the hurry to be president or chairman, or whatever the office may be, brings out all the petty faults that the advanced woman scorns and declares were relegated to the "sewing circle."
