BASKET BALL Lovers of basket ball in Blooms bur, will no doubt have an oppor tunity of witnessing a fine game some time tins coming winter. The Uni ver.sity of Pennsylvania have or ganicd a team and are trying to ar range a game with the Normal School, iast season s formal team was con sidered by every one to be one of the strongest in the country, and as they have the same material to select from this season, the team should be equally as good. We have no doubt the University of Pennsylvania's challenge will be accepted. Here is the kind of obituary a Georgia editor puts up for a man : " Poor Jim Brown slung his earthly garments on a limb and swam the river yesterday. He didn't stand because the water was cold, but plunged right in, rose smiling and struck out for the other shore where the angels were waiting for him with a finer suit than he had ever worn in his life. Jim was a poor man, but he had his subscription to his home paper all paid and he got there in good shape." The Clothing Establishment of J. M. Gidding & Co., Closed by the Sheriff. A great deal of surprise was oc casioned Wednesday afternoon when it was rumored that the well known firm of J. M. Gidding & Co., had closed their doors. Judgments amoun;- mg to nearly $12,000 were entered in the prothonotary's office, and the sheriff at once took possession of the stock. The cause of the failure was the tightness of money, together with the warm spell of weather and their inability to realize on the large stock which they carry, and when city firms pushed them they had to succumb to the inevitable. They hope to be able to fix matters up and open in a few days. THE ELATION. Tuesday was a beautiful day and a large vote was polled. The day was passed quietly, until about eight o'clock at night when the boys ap. peared with drums, tin horns, pans, rattles, and any old thing that would make a noise, and though no news was received until much later, the racket was kept up just the same. The Bloomsburg Club received news at their club house, and the Industrial Club had a screen across the street opposite their rooms on Main Street, where the returns were displayed. Everything seemed to point ot.e way, and at one o clock it became so appp-ent that McKinley had swept the country, that the Republicans started out with the band a. id a drum corps, and they made things lively uutil four o'clock in the morning. A bonfire was start ed oil Market Square, and fireworks and red '"'jhts were burned all along the line. It was the first time in the lives of many Democrats that the cneers of Republicans was music to their ears. The vote in town shows that quite a number of the former voted straight for McKinley. IwOT BALL, The second attempt to play foot ball with the Wyoming Seminary eleven resulted in another draw on Normal field on Saturday afternoon last. The Normal team went up to Kingston about three weeks ago, and tried to play, but they were unable to agree on a decision of the umpire, and tne game was called off, neither side having scored. The Normal team seems confident that they can defeat the Wyoming boys, if they will play a fair game. They met on Normal held Saturday afternoon, be foie a very large crowd of people, and after practising a short time began to play, but they had not proceeded very far until Wyoming kicked on a deci sion of the umpire, and play was stopped. No one seemed to know what was the matter, until some small boys started a fight with a couple of fellows who had accompanied the Seminary team down, and everybody rushed off the ground and started toward the building. After exchang ing words for some time Wyoming refused to play and the large crowd left the field disgusted. The game, while it lasted was very good, and had they finished it would no doubt have ben very interesting, but something 1 ways turns up to rob the patrons of the game from seeing a gooa exmmuon. They are trying to arrange another game with Wyoming. The table of votes in this issue is not complete, as the open returns in a number of districts did not give the vote for Associate Judge, and in one district the vote for Assembly. It does not give the vote for Congress-at-larce, as that is about the same as the vote for Electors, and the vote for Auditors and Surveyor is also omitted. The whole Democratic County ticket is elected, except congressman. The corrected table will be printed next week. ' rn r 'rt)iiinrrtn.r'ini Sarsaparilla Sense. Any sarsaparilla is sarsapa rilla.

One representative will ac company each of the three sections into which the institute force has been divided. He will carry with him specially prepared charts and diagrams illustrating the composition of feeding stuffs, the manure value of farm pr' ducts, the results of experiments with fertilizers, etc., etc., which cannot fail to add greatly to the interest and profit of the institutes. Copies of a spray calender and of a bulletin on the com putation of rations for farm animals, prepared by the State Experiment Station, will also be carried for free distribution. The special representatives of the college are, for the northern counties, Colonel John A. Woodward ; for the southeastern counties, Dr. Wm. Frear; and for the southwestern counties, Mr. E. II. Hess, all of whom are ex perienced institule workers. Other members of the School of Agriculture and of the Experiment Station will also attend when their other duties will permit. A Eecord-Breakiug Trip. From Wilkos-Barre to Philadelphia in Threo Hours and 33 Minutes. A record-breaking run over the Lehigh Valley and the Reading Rail roads was made Sunday by a special train, which the officials of those companies courteously tendered to Charles Emory Smith and William M. Singerly, who had spoken at a Sound Money meeting in Wilkes Barre on Saturday evening. Leaving that city at 10 A. M., the train, which consist ed of an engine and two cars, crossed the mountains and rushed down the valley of the Lehigh River to South Bethlehem, a distance of 87 miles, in just two houis and a half. There it was transferred to the tracks of the North Penn branch of the Reading, and was speeded over the 57 miles to this city in just 63 minutes, reaching here at 1:33 P. M. At times the train reached a speed of 76 miles an hour. The time from Wilkes-Barre to Philadelphia, 3 hours and 33 minutes for 144 miles, is the best ever made over this distance, which abounds in heavy grades and sharp curves. Stick to Your Work. One of the best qualities a person can have is to stick to the work in hand or object in pursuit and never leave it for any trivial cause. It is t'le one way to become prosperous in lifd. A habit of stickinc to one's pursuit, we rare not how humble it is, is sure to lead to prosperity in the end. If you have a trade or business of any kind follow it until you have gotten out of it all there is to learn about i let this one idea rule all your doings. Slick to your work no mat ter how many there are who would try to distract your attention, and cause you to lose time and purpose. Those who fail in life are generally those who are earnest to-day in one thing, to morrow lire just as earnest about something different. Those who are continually seeking new fields on limited capital soon have no capital at all, and are stranded with nothing left to them but their exper ience and a demoralized condition of mind. Therefore, boys should early form the habit of sticking to whatever they may have in hand and let the fools do the other thing. WE NEED EACH OTHER. In your purchases you desire to save money.
