COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG . PA. v it it ln-jv.r SIGN OF TIIOSPEIUTY. THE ENORMOUS WHEAT CROP AND' AND THE PRICE IT WILL BRING. I i bi I l'eiiilei'CJf ' 8took lucronie of Itnitk Loii-Them nil 1'olnt Unerringly In llvttrr Tluiei Tlio Uunh for tha Klon dyke Cold Field. Special Chicago letter. There are to-day unmistakable signs that the business situation la jooa to experience a decided change tor tho bettpr. In fact, the change lmd already begun, and the condition which lauut augment and relnfpi'ce the revival of business are all favorable. Ono of the Unit essentials of pros perity, Ib an abundant harvest, and ihe second Is a market, Both of these conditions now appear to loom up be fore us In the near future. Crop pros pects are generally excellent, and they have been materially Improved by re cent rains. The wheat crop promises to be enormous, and the railroads aro already making preparations to handle It There has been tin advance in the price of wheat, although the first effect rf the publication of the enormous government estimate produced a do cllne. But the news from South Afri ca, Brazil, Argentina, and even from Russia, Is such as to warrant the be lief that America will again become tho great storehouse from which tho nations of the earth will be fed. Al ready thcro has been considerable buying for export and this Is certuin to increase, aa tne shortage or crop in other countries becomes more ap parent. The industrial situation la also im proving especially In the steel and Iron business, which Is a certain ba rometer of general trade. The output for June was not quite so large as Jiat for May, but since July 1st a num ber of furnaces have gone Into blast, and the demand for structural Bhapea, plates and bars la Improving, although steel bui-s have been sold at the low est price ever qouted. The extraor dinary exports, now known to exceed our Imports by J300.000.000 or more, sclll be augmented as the enormous Western crops move toward their des tination. Already there haa been a westward movement of great .rains of empty grain cars, which have been dropptd oft In ones and twoa at :he little slipping centres all through tbe wheut growing sections of tho nest. The tendency toward higher jrtees 13 leaning the farmers to hold on :o their wheat, and It Is believed that if they do so, they will certainly be .he gainers. A favorable Indication la tho upward 'endency of the stock market, and the rteady decline in the surplus reserve in the banks. There baa been comparatively llt ,1p buying for the foreign market, but (till the aKgrcgute of the trading, both n this city and New York, is unusual y large, showing that tho home de mand for iseeuritles la so great that :.hls alone holds the prices firm. The 'eduction of the surplus reserve by the iteady Increase In loans, shows that the hitherto idle money is being drawn M and Invested In business euter- Rev. Myron W. Reed. prises, which, In the course of tlmo, will give employment to the workers, and quicken all the avenues of trade. Business prosperity all depends up n the ability of the peuple to pur :hase. During the past four years their purchasing power has been enor mously decreased, and prosperity will return lust in Dortlon as that power is restored. The snlendid crops sold it good prices will enable the farmers :o lncreaae their purchases, and the employment of additional men in the manufacturing centres will soon add snormously to the domand for every Kind of merchandise. Different views are taken ot the plans and puruoses of the so-called labor agitator. It Is easy to dismiss the proposed colonization scheme of Ueibs, as an Itupracticablo and alto gether undesirable movement, even if U should prove measurably successful, But there are many thoughtful men who are viewing the subject In a dif ferent light. Anions these is Ilev. My ron W. Hoed, of thie city. Mr. tteed Is watchlte th oreauizatlon of the social demrxiracy. Mr. Heed is presl oent of the co-operatlvd common wealth. He U a well known minister &ud his utteiuutes have frequently at tracted national attention. Mr. Reed is one of the most active social reform workers of the day and seeks In his ef forts the unbuilding of mankind. Tho work of colonizing the men under the head of the eoclal democracy has deep ly Interested him, becauae it holds out soiut) promise of enabling them to im prove the wretched conditions which surround so many of them. Mr. Roed ai.vns not by any means endorse ail uir views of those who are prominent in the now organization scheme, but, like others who have-ben Investigating it, he believes that there are good fea tures which give great promise of In suring succesu for the enterprise if t Is properly directed. By means of an ordinance taxing vehicles of all kinds, including bicy cles, the Chlcugo Common Council proposes to raise an annual revenue of tl.000,000 to be used exclusively In re pairing and maintaining the Btreets, bicycles are to be taxod one dollar ach and other vehicles are to be tax d $3; three-horse, (5; four-horse, $7; fix-horse, 10.00; eight-horse, $12. The luyatlou of taxing bicycles butt been aw m dtsctissed In many places, and In nom cltle thy are subject to a tux of 60 cents or a dollar a year. Whether mien a tax would prove popular may be doubted, but wo believe that very bicyclist would be willing to pay a umall aum yearly for the Improvement of the streets. Chicago people have read the won derful stories of the discovery of gold In Alaska, and hundreds of thorn are fast getting the gold tever. ScienAlilo men have added to the excitement by the publication of theories Indicating their bollef that now has been found the "parent vein," the fag ends of which have heretofore been, garnered. If It be truo that "pay dirt" has been found, so rich that four dollars can be taken from a single shovel full, it Is impossible to toll what will be the con sequences. Certainly there will be an enormous number of peoplo who will start for the gold fields, little heeding the hardships, distress and suffering which they must encounter. There are those who believe that the aiscovery or goia in such enormous quantities is destined very soon to ex erclse en important Influence upon the adjustment or our monetary system, Blmetalllsts contend for the use of ell vor as money because they assort that the volume of gold available for coin age purposes Is not sufficient to sue tain prices of commodities and that V Chart of the Northern Gold Klelds. the contraction reduces prices. If now we have reached that point In our hla tory where we can produce gold In suf ficient quantities to meet the demands of the treasury and of the people who desire advanced prices, we many And the men who have been most vo homent In their demand for the coin age of slrver, perfectly willing to rest upon the gold standard. Hut what will the advocates of the gold stand ard do, If the volume of Chat metal la eo enormously increased as to satisfy the demands of thoee who seek for higher prices through the medium of an Increased volume of primary mon ey. It la just possible that the Klondyke miner digging four dollars worth of the precious metal with every shovelful of dirt, In the land of the midnight sun, has solved for the American, peo ple the greatest financial problem of the century. It Is now known that the production of gold In the Brltleh possessions will reach more than $10,000,000 of dollars. All the most flattering reports from the gold regions of Alaska have been fully born out by the subsequent facta '.hat have come to light, and it Is now known that the Portland, which first brought tbe news of the wonderful luck of tho miners, brought nearly ?2, 000,000 of the precious metal, and it is stated that in the miners' cabina -.here Is more than 91.000,000, and this iiord Is being Increased every hour. In thla city and at points farther west the gold fever has seized many of ho people, and every out-going stcani r from Seattle la loaded with men and supplies for tho gold regions. The Postmaster-Oeneral proposes x establish house-to-house collections 3f mall In Chicago, and the people of 'Jie city do not appear to be anxious for It The postanaster of Chicago is opposed to It and hopes It will not be forced on, the people. Letter-boxes ire so abundant In the streets of the larger cities that It Is not considered iny great hardship to put letters In them. It Is feared that house-to-house collection would lntorfere with the present promptness of delivery or else involve a considerable Increase of ex penditure. If more money is to be spent more persons would welcome a one-cent postage than the house-to- house collection. The doorbell fiend Is sufficiently numerous already. f. C. ROBINSON. Kyelen Animal. Many of the lower animals are known to see without eyes, the skin having a high degree of sensitveness to llKht. Thus earthworms, tne mag cots of Hies and eyeless centipedes tlnd their way about nearly as readily as similar creatures which have eyes. In a recent German work on the sen Eltiveuess to light of eyeless animals Dr. Nucel. who made his observations chiefly on molluska, found that the eveless bivalves and snails he experi mented with showed a high degree of sensitiveness to liijht. He found that ecieB reacted especially to di minution, others to increase of light, ami that this difference was correlated with other characters. Philadelphia Press. A Hat. Ill a Tomb. A nueer story Is told of a natural 1st who died In 18K0 and was buried at Ulankney, Lincolnshire. Among his nets was a large gray bat. This bat wus poi'ialtted to enter the tcmb and was sealed up alive with tho ;orpse of his dead maeter. In ls0t the vault was opened, and to the sur prise of all the bat waa alive and fut. 'Jn four different occnalons since the relatives of the dead man have looked cfier the welfare of hla pet, and each time It has been reported that the bat was Bttll in the land of the living, al though occupying quarters with the liead. It was last seen In 18D2. Pear son's Weekly.

Fruit growers in the Hudson river valley are asked to exercise unusual vigilance to prevent the San Jose scale from getting a foothold. Accor- ing to Country Gentleman, it is now known to occur in but four localities, outside of Long Island, in New York state. These include two localities in the Hudson river valley, one on Cayuga Lake, and recently it has turned up on trees and shrubs in the grounds of the horticultural depart ment at Cornell university. The in sect has doubtless been much more widely distributed through the state than has been known. It may be ex pected anywhere where stock has been set during the past six or eight years. Fruit growers should at once closely scan every young tree in their orchards, and especially any trees which are not doing as well as their neighbors. Anything of a scalelike nature or anything out of the normal or usual appearance on the bark should be at once sent to the state entomological, Dr. J. A. Lintner, Albany, or to Mr. M. V. Slingerland, Ithaca, N. Y., for indentihcation. The quickest way to fight the pest is to burn every tree infested with the insect. Whale oil soap well sprayed or painted on the scales at the rate of two pounds to a gallon ot water will kill many of them. Partners in Sickness and in Health. The most convincing evi dence of the efficacy of such a wonder ful remedy as Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder is the word of the man who has been relieved from the bondage of this insidious disease. Rev. John Bor.hror and wife, of Buffalo, were both afflicted with distressing Catarrh. One application gave relief inside of ten minutes, and they were in a short time cured to stay. Sold by C. A. Kleim.
