Report ol Committee on Highways Meets With Opposition. Council Monday Evening was at tended by all the members. The committee on Highways reported that they had secured the signature of all abutting property owners along Jeffer- . son Street, to a release of damages with the exception of A. G. Briggs and the same report was made in regard to North Street Mrs. Wyncoop through councilman Hester stated she intended laying a cement pavement along her property on Third and Centre Streets and requested Council to defer action in regard to compelling her to raise her pavement. It was also stated that such repairs had been made as would prevent water from .running on the pavement. On motion her request was granted. In regard to the trouble between Deifenbach and Kashnerin reference to a pig pen, Mr. Kester reported that the com mittee considered the matter of too trivial a character to occupy the time and attention of council. Inasmuch as it was stated that the Electric Light Company would not make a ! contract for less time than one year, upon motion of Locktta 'he matter was left in " statu quo." Uron motion, the Question of a Crossing OVGf West Street at Fifth, was j referred to the President and Town ', Solicitors with authority to act in the j matter. The question of reducing the time of exoneration from' taxes of new industries, brought forth consider able discussion, but no action was .taken. Pres. Creasy, and several - others were in favor of reducing the time to five years. In the matter of the application of Mr. Cook for sewer on West Fourth Street the committee reported that owing to the length of it, it would be impossible for the town to go to the expense at the present time. C. M. Hess requested the extension of the West Third Street Sewer. It was referred to the proper committee. He was granted a building permit for a two story frame dwelling house on West Third Street. John L. Richard son reported that in the matter of excavating and filling Light Street road he had secured to the release of damages the signature of all the ad joining property owners excepting Dr. Gardner. The council said they could take no action until it had been signed by all of them. Tax Collector Bittenbender desired some arrangements made whereby parties who are unable to pay their taxes and manifested a disposition to work. could be employed on the streets. He also called attention to the law, stating that jvhere parties neglected and refused to pay their dog tax the animal should be shot. W. II. Ilellig desired council to finish the work on Leonard Street so that parties could lay their pavements. This brought forth considerable discussion, as the street is left in an unsafe condition. The Street committee stating that the Street Commissioner done the work to suit himself, and not accord ing tt their directions. , The town Us, Bring Your Feet With You. to date shoes. Street. Engineer was instructed to give the grade, and see that the Street Com missioner i!one the work in accord ance with it. The question of re moving the fence from Athletic Park was laid on the table. The opening of Jefferson and North Street was the cause of con siderable discussion. It was main tained by the Committee on High ways that inasmuch as the council had declared them public highways they had a right to go on, aisd open them. That it was necessary to at tend to the matter at once, or lose the opportunity of getting earth for filling, and hence had no opportunity of reporting to the Council. That the work on Jefferson Street had been done by William Ferguson by tke day, and they were positive it had been done better, and for a less sum than it could have been by the Street Com missioner. Mr. Lockard thought that the Committee on Highways was usurping the power of the Council, and if this sort of work was continued there was no need of having a Council. They also reported that Gross and OisJ would do the mason work on the North Street culvert for $1.00 per next Wednesday evening. Nov. 20. foot and C. P. Armstrong would j Lincoln J. Carter's superb scenic mel furntsh the stone for the same price. I odrama "The Fast Mail." As its makicg the culvert cost completed $2.00 per foot. Upon motion C. P. Armstrong was awarded the contract for the stone at his bid, and Gross and Okl the mason work at their bid. Said work to be done under super vision of Town Engineer and no money to be paid until it had been approved by him. Mr. Lockard voted No. Property owners on Leonard Street were notified to lay pavement within 30 days from notice. William Ferguson was awarded the contract for the Jefferson Street culvert at $2.00 per foot completed, under the same restrictions as that on North Street. A petition was received from W. B. Taylor representing that the alley along his property on Iron Street was too high, and requested council to change the grade so that it could be used. Referred to the Town Solicitor to prepare the necessary papers. A petition was also received tor an electric light at the inter section of Ninth and Catharine, and one at Third and Catharine Streets. Re ferred to the' proper committee. Mr. Gorrey and the President said they had been informed that Housel had been using the hose at the sewer, and had put them away wet, and the con sequence was they had rotted at places, and also that they had been put on reel wrong end first, which would cause much delay m case Of hre. The matter was referred to the Committee on Fire who were instruct ed to notify Mr. Housel that in the future if he uses the hose he must put them back in a proper condition. The following bills were ordered paid. J. C. Brown, Surveying Aug. 6 to Nov. 7 $81.85 Geo. W. Keiter, work. . ...... 9.60 Doctors' flistakes. TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE. How Urge bills are run up without benefit to the sufferer. Many time women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis ease, another from liver or kidney disease, another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present alike to them selves and their easy-going, indifferent, or over-busy dootors, separate and distinct dis eases, fur which they prescribe their pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some womb disease Tlie physi cian ignorant of the cause of suffering, en courages his practice until lnrge bills are made. The suffering patient gets no better, but probably worse, by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complica tions. A proper medicine, like Dr. Pierce'e Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those distressing symptoms, ana instituting cotntorc instead of prolonged misery. It has been well Bald, that a disease known is nail curea." Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman's delicate organiza tion. It cures all derangements, lrregu- larities and weaknesses of the womanly organs. It is purely vegetable in its com position and perfectly harmless in its ef fects in any condition 0 the system.

A message from Philadelphia yes terday morning announced the death of Mrs. Bertha Barnett, wife of John Barnett, who left here two weeks ago to undergo an operation at the Howard hospital. Her death occurr ed at nine o'clock Wednesday night, on the same day of the operation. Mr. Barnett at once left for Phila delphia and will return with the body to day when the time of the funeral will be announced. Mrs. Barnett was 31 years old and leaves three small children in addition to her husband. The announcement of her death came like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Her friends had hoped that she would successfully stand the operation and return completely cured. Moun tain Echo Nov. ith. The above named lady was well- known, and had many friends in this place who weie shocked when thev learned of her sudden death. She was a niece of the late Mrs. Delilah Barton, and attended her funeral which occurred here a short time since. A production of unusual magnitude will be given at the Opera House name indicates, it deals largely with the railroad in its incidents, but it presents an abundance of effects that are daring in their magnitude and ad mirable in their execution. The steamboat is said to be a wonder of clever conception and masterly me chanical work, and the railroad scene with its trains going at a terrific rate of speed, makes the stage seem like a piece of reality. The Niagara Falls scene is wonderfully beautiful, and it may be safely said is more elaborate than anything of the kind ever before attempted in this city. There are a multitude of minor effects that con tribute to make the perlormance a revelation of realism. The whistles, bells and splashing are heard as the boat leaves the wharf. The sounds that tell us of an approaching train herald the approach of the freight and the fast mail train the latter rushing by with people gazing from the win dow at the heroine who has just saved her lover's life by fastening a letter to the mail ponch. The roaring of Niagara Falls is heard, and the mist that rises from it is shown vividly. The play is under the personal direc tion of L. J. Carter, the author. The cast is said to be a capable one. The play is startling at times in the inten sity of its clirrfaxes, and these, when presented with all the effects of the intricate stage settings, bring the in terest to a degree that is rarely at tained even in the melodrama. A large number of people are employed in the production, which is in many particulars plainly the result of care and skill combined. Mrs. Richard Kitchen of Green wood township,, this county, was in town last Saturday delivering butter to her customers. The Judges of several Fairs have decided that she is one of the best butter makers in this section of the county. She has received the ptemium at six New York State Fairs, and during the last few years, she has received a premium at the Pennsylvania State Fair and (our County Fairs. This year she received the first premium at the Bloomsburg Fair. This speaks well for a Columbia County lady. If all butter makers were like Mrs. Kitchen, more butter would be used, and it would command a better price. BROKE HER LIMB. Mrs. Dr J. B. McKelvy met with an accident Tuesday morning which will confine her to the house for a long time. She had gone on the op posite side of the street to call upon Mrs. M. E. Creasy, and when inside the yard, she slipped on an icy board and tell, breaking both bones in her right leg below the knee. She was carried to her home, and the fracture reduced. She has many friends who sympathize with her in this misfortune. MARKET REPORT.

THAT USE STORY, The Dailu of Friday Nov. 8th, charges the Shickshmnv Demo crai" with having published a fish story, headed " Black Bill's Twin " which they claim was " originally " published in the Daily. Readers of the Columbian will remember seeing the same story ' ver batim in the Coll miu an in its issue of October 25th. We notice by an exchange that Geo. W. Jones & Co , of Orangeville, manufacturers of insoles, heels, etc , for ladies' shoes, have proposed to the Watsontown Board of Trade, that for the donation of sufficient ground for their factory, and the loan of $5,000, they will remove to Watson town, and employ from 30 to 60 hands the year round. Lack of proper rail road lacilities and difficulty in securing sufficient help is the cause of the desire for a new location.
