minutes to play in the last half, Wor

Practical Knowledge is Power.
It is power because it moves the
world. It is well to have the culture
and refinement that are the product
of what is called a finished education,
but polish and ornament on the engine
are not what makes the wheels go. It
is the energy of the steam, directed by
the master hand of the engineer that
sets the practical machinery in motion;
and it is practical education that keeps
the wheels of commerce in motion by
which the products of human labor
are distributed.
A thorough business education is a
qualification for the active affairs of
life. It meets the needs of all classes.
It is not at all necessary if you wish
to remain a cipher in character and
influence, but highly necessary if you
wish your career to show practical
solution of the problem of Success in
Life. Williams College of Business
makes a specialty of training young
people to make a success in life, and
hundreds testily to the excellent work
it has done.
There are seven schools conducted
under the same management. The
Bloomsburg branch vill be organized
Oct. 29 in the Columbian building.
Day and night sessions.
If you want one of the first fifty
scholarships that are sold for only $50
attend to it at once. Regular rates
for these scholarships in business
schools are from $100 to $200.

"Life In London."
Did you hear Dr. Cadman's great
lecture on " Abraham Lincoln,"
which he delivered in the Methodist
Tabernacle last spring ? If so, you
will want to hear his other great lec
ture on " Life in London " to be
delivered in the same place next Mon
day evening Oct. 26. Dr. Cadman
considers his " London " lecture
quite as popular as the one on
" Lincoln." For the benefit of those
who have not heard this remarkable
man it is proper to state that he is
only thirty years old and is now pas
tor of the Central Metropolitan Tern
pie, New York City where General
Grant formerly worshiped and where
great congregations gather weekly.
He was born in England and knows
London, the largest citv of the world,
and will for an hour or more enter
tain, instruct and delight his audience
with what he has to say. Admission

unable to accept. We have another
engagement for that day.
DEMOORATS, TAKE PKIDE !
The attention of the Democratic
voters in each County and representa
tive district is called to the represen
tation that they may be entitled to at
the next state Convention.
The representation in the Demo
cratic State Conventions shall consist
of representative delegates, one for
each one thousand votes cast at the
preceding Presidential election, or
fraction of one thousand such votes,
amounting to five hundred or more
in the representative districts of the
State, provided that each representa
tive district shall have at least one
delegate.
Itis hoped that the Democratic
votrs will keep this fact in view and
endeavor to have the largest vote
possible polled, so that their County
andjdistrict may have full representa
tion at the next State Convention.
The necessity of paying strict atten
tion to this important duty will be
readily observed by all good Demo
crats. Each County should take
pride in seeing to it that the present
representation is sustained or increas
ed. Caught In MoKinley's House
Four Men Found Concealed About the
Premisei.
Four men were arrested at the
McKinley residence during Saturday
night. One was concealed in the
garret, a second in the cellar and two
in an adjacent outhouse.
The men would give no explana
tion of their intentions but it is
thought that the many valuable gifts
sent McKinley recently induced them
to attempt to rob the house. The
matter has been kept quiet, but it is
learned that the men were released
at the request of members of the
Mckinley household.
