PROHIBITION MEETING.
There was a union meeting in the
Y. M. C. A. tent last Sunday after
noon and the services consisted of a
prohibition speech delivered by Rev.
J. C. Hogan of Forest City. A large
part of the time was consumed in
justifying the holding of political
meetings on Sunday, and the balance
in criticising church members for not
voting as he did. Several men, and
a large number of women were in at
tendance. AT STATE CAMP.
The deliberations of the State
Camp of the Patriotic Order Sons of
America, at Altoona came to a close
last Thursday morning. A. J. Col
burn of Scranton who was elected
state president defeated Maj. R. M.
J. Reed by a majority of twelve votes.
Clare M. Taylor of Huntingdon, was
elected state vice president. A. L.
Eckert, of Pottsville elected master
of forms and F. W. Smith of Phila
delphia state conductor. It was de
cided to hold the next state encamp
ment in Reading. A resolution recog
nizing the single star of Cuba in the
constellation of nations was adopted.
The session throughout was a most
harmonious one and business was
transacted very promptly.
Fred Ikeler Esq., one of the dele
gates from the Camp at this place,
introduced and had passed a resolu
tion appropriating $250 for the pur
pose of erecting and maintaining a
large steel flag staff at Valley Forge.
Prof. A. U. Lesher, of Camp No.
105 Berwick, was awarded the first
prize for oratory. The prize is a solid
gold modal, hand engraved, on which
is a Greek cross intersected by cross
ed swords and surmounted by an
engraving of Washington ; in the
centre is a wreath, a bible bearing
the figures 1 896, and altar lamp and
flame. It is a beautiful piece of work.
Surely Columbia County has reason
to be proud of her representatives.
Mr. George S. Robbins who re.
turned lrom a Western trip some time
ago brought with him some fine speci
mens of gold ore which were mined at
Cripple Creek, Colorado, and which are
now displayed in the window of the
jewelry store of J. E. Roys. It assays
$io,coo to the ton. There is also
exhibited a fine garnet which was
found enbedded in a rock in a Nevada
silver mine.
