Inquire at this office. Found. A lady's gold watch chain was found recently, and has been left at this of fice. The owner can have it by prov ing property and paying for this notice. tf. A Nuisance- A fellow who was canvassing Sun bury Friday as a purchaser of old gold, is one of the many nuisances with which householders are indicted. Of course the average house has no old gold to sell, but in such cases the can vasser has. To a lady on Walnut street he showed a pair of spectacles which he said were sold to him in Danville, and it was a pity to break them up as they were as good as new what would the lady give for them ? "Fifty cents," she said bluffingly. This was a starter. He would take $2.50, then gradually came down to $1, and at last said "take them for your 50 cents." This made the lady suspicious and she backed out, when the blackguard showered abuse upon her. He no doubt makes a specialty of this spectacle racket, having a stock of cheap ones on hand which he palms off for gold. Another nuisance is the fellow who incites children to gather old postage stamps. There are old stamps that have a value on account of their rarity, for some of which a high price is paid, and this has led some sharpers to en gage in the sale of " price lists of rare stamps," out of which they doubtless make more or less money. One of these was also about recently dis tributing circulars which were baited quite alluringly and then closed by saying that a price list could be secured by sending 4 cents in stamps to him by mail. There is big profit in this apparently "peanut" transac tion. It pays to be on the alert for such rascals these days. In fact we need but few things which we cannot buy from responsible dealers, or those with whom we are acquainted. Be sides we owe something to the busi ness interests of the community in which we live.

Reading papers report an exciting and enjoyable tub race in which six more or less good looking girls took part and vied with each other for prizes. The first prize being a gold bracciet, the second a basket of flowers, and the third a fan, they were the ostensible inducements to the participants. But to ask this same sextet to locate their tubs on the banks of the beautiful stream in which they struggled before the ad miring gaze of a sportive throng, and there see who could first finish a dirty wash and string em on an old fash ioned clothes-line, would likely be asking too much, and it would no doubt be far less attractive to the gay ladies and their sportive throng of admirers, but at the same time that would be the most admirable ac complishmcnt and go farther toward winning the best prize a lady can win, namely, a strong armed husband who is willing to carry wash water, build wash fire, empty wash-tubs, and, in fact, do everything but wash for her own dear self, his lowing wife. EIOH FIND OF BOYS. YOUNGSTERS UNEARTH A llOX CON TAINING SEVERAL $20 GOLD PIECES. A big sensation was created in Pottsville by the finding at the upper end of Pottsville of a tin box contain ing $140 in gold in the denomination of seven $20 gold pieces. The treasure was found by Willie Miller, aged about 14 years, and a son of George Skidmore, upon the property of the latter. The boys found the gold in a coal bin which is located some distance from the house. It appears that they were engaged in cleaning out the coal house, which has a ground floor, and unexpectedly unearthed the tin box containing the gold pieces. It is believed that this is a part of the money buried by a wealthy Scotch man named John McNair, who at one time lived in the house now occupied by the Skidmores, and died, leaving no property as far as any one could learn, but who, it is believed, buried a large amount of money, a portion of which is the $140 in gold. McNair went to California when the gold fever broke out there in 1849, and returned about 1864 with between $S,ooo and $10,000 in gold. As he never believed In banks, it was thought he buried his money, but failed to reveal its hiding place even on his death bed. He was a man of eccentric habits, and was always flush and paid his debts in gold. Elsie K. wife of Isaiah R. Rupert of Shickshinny, was injured recently by an accident on the trolley cars near Wilkes-Barre. She has brought suit for $25,000 damages, and Mr. Rupert has also sued the company for $10,000 damages for loss of his wife's services. If a flowering plant does not blossom, there's little beauty in it. If it is sick and faded and with ered and lifeless. nobody cares for it. It falls short of its object in being. It is in cotn pi e te un finished. Times without cumber women have been liken ed to flowers and rightly. But what of her whose physical condition corrcs. ponds with the blossomlesa plant? What of the woman whom weakness has made not wholly and wholesomely a woman ? Many things lead to de rangement of a woman's delicate organism. It may be due to carelessness. It may be due to ignorance fostered by mistaken parents on the plea of preserving modesty. It may result from improper treatment of some minor trouble, wnatever sickness a woman has, it seems always to aflect the organs which make her a woman and these in turn work unon all tbe rest. There is much insanity among women. It is really surprising mat tnere is not more. Tlie troubles peculiar to their sex work stronsrlv on tha nerves. Thev dratr unon the most delicate nerves in the body and the inflammation always present causeB a debilitating drain that will enervate the most robust.

Bloomsburg does nothing by halves, Bloomsburg wheelmen are tarred with the same stick. When the subject of a bicycle race meet was broached some wondered if the wheelmen were not "biting off more than they could chew." We are happy to say, how ever, that such was not the case, as to-day everything is in splendid shape for the meet; and, if it is a clear day, the grounds will be packed. The secretary has received the entry of every first-class racing man in this part of the country, among whom we mention Krick, Corscr, Miner, Diff enderfer, Gstalder, Gardner, Coleman and some 40 others. The entries are so large that the J mile open and the 1 mile open will have to be run in heats. This will insure lots of excit ing finishes and hair raising spurts. Sid Black, the champion trick rider of the world, will be here and give his wonderful exhibition. There is nothing he cannot do on a wheel. This alone will be worth the price of admission. The whole Scranton racing team will be here with their tandem team to pace. This will in sure fast time, and if the State record of 2:11 2-5 is not broken it will be a wonder. Admission tickets, at 25 cents, can now be bought at most of the stores in town, and reserved seats for the grand stand are also on sale at Slate's book store. On Friday evening a monster lan tern parade will be held, which will take in nearly every street in town. The wheels will be one blaze of light, and the decorations unsurpassed, as three prizes will be offered for the best decorated wheels in line, as fol lows : 1st. A fine pair of statuary for the finest mens' decoration. 2nd. A $5 pair of ladies shoes, given by J. A. Hess, for the most beautiful ladies wheel. 3d. A woolen sweater, given by J. M. Gidding, for the best decora tion on a boy s wheel. The judges will be J. C. Brown, J. C. Rutter and J. M. Gidding. All wheelmen should turn out and make it a howling success. Some of the business places and residences will be decorated, and for that night the wheelmen will own the town. Headquarters will be established on Saturday, and a reception committee will meet all trains and escort visitin wheelmen to their hotel. The Protective Mantle Over the Word of God at Last. If we have read history aright then the Word of God was once monopO' lized by a crafty priesthood lrom whom it was eventually wrested (or universal interpretation and the com mon good and blessing. No doubt the battles for civil and religious liber ty were among th very fiercest fought by our heroic, forefathers, I he war fare in behalf of religious liberty and a free and open Bible through God s mercy and justice terminated eventu ally in favor of the masses and against the monopolistic classes. But, strange to relate, we seem to have reached the time when the protective and monopolistic mantle is again thrown over the Word of God. Thus history repeats itse'f. "Is it possible," do you say ?" We reiterate it is, my dear sir. 1 he free trade Bible, that is the free to-all, the open, and unmonopo lized Word of God, prevailed, at leas in this land of the free, until quite re cently, when Cranston and Curts, of the Methodist Book Concern, got the bulge on the copyright U and thus TsT I TV ft appropriated to their own exclusive use as printers, every particle of the Word of God that is and shall be em braced and contained in the Epworth League tonics now, henceforth and forever. There being about 15.000 Epworth Leagues scattered over this country, rtud whose printing of the scriptural references has hitherto been done in about 15,000 different print ing offices, the subtle object of thus monopolizing the Word of God against stuggling country printing offices is quite apparent to more folks than those interested in the Methodist Book Concern. To the writer it seems that if these scriptural references can be thus mon opolized by Cranston & Curts, then the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Com mandments are in imminent danger, also, of being gobbled up by them or by some other enterprising city printer who is not in full sympathy with coun try printers, the man who says that such protection don't protect labors under a vain delusion. We question the moral and legal right of any body to thus display no originality whatever and yet presume to throw the exclusive protection of the copyright law over any portion of the Word of God, and do it merely for the sake ot undue advantage and temporal gain. Milton's Big Fair. The eleventh annual meeting of the Milton Driving Park and Fair Asso ciation will occur on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of September, and it will be the biggest and best meeting the so ciety has ever held. The premiums and purses are more liberal than those of any other fair in the central part of the state. Extensive improvements have been made in the buildings and grounds and a fine exhibit in all de partments of the fair is promised. 1 here is every promise of a large field of horses for the races. The society has just signed a contract with Fenz & Co., the famous booking agents, for exhibitions daily by the great Arab Troupe, Bark Ben Achmet compos ed of three men and three ladies. The feats of this troupe are marvelous and they will give exhibitions each day of the fair. The railroads will all run specials and sell excursion tickets.
