Kaiser Murder Oase.
Lizzie DcKalb, Suspoclcd of being Implicated,
Given a Hearing.
Lizzie DeKalb, who was arrested
in Philadelphia two weeks ago, was
given a hearing, Tuesday, before
Magistrate Lcnhardt, on the charge
of being implicated with Charles O.
Kaiser in the murder of the latter's
wife, Mrs. Emma P. Kaiser, on
October 28, 1896.
Benjamin Hughes testified to see
ing a man and a woman in a car
riage which followed the carriage
in which Mr. and Mrs. Kaiser rode.
He, however, could not identify
Miss DeKalb as the woman lie had
seen.
William Jackson, of Gloucester,
N.J., identified Miss DeKalb as the
woman who hired a team from him
in September, 1896, which team
was never returned. After the
Kaiser murder it was discovered that
the wagon Mrs. Kaiser was shot in
was the one that had been hired
from Jackson.
After Coroner Kurtz and Dr.
Umstead had testified regarding the
killing of Mrs. Kaiser, the hearing
was continued until December 20.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany announces slight changes in time
table, taking effect November 28th.
Train 4, from the West, will leave
Sunbury for the East and South, at
1:45 A. M., instead of 1:50 A. M.
Train 11, leaving East Bloomsburg
at 4:30 P. M.,will connect at Sunbury
with train 12, leaving Sunbury at 5:25
P. M., and will reach Philadelphia 55

LIFE IN THE SOUTH.
The Southern States of America,
and the dusky denizens thereof, have
a peculiar interest and fascination to
those who have never lived or travel
led extensively through the South.
The negroes of the South are an inter
esMng race. Their habits, customs,
home life are but little known out
side of the section where they dwell.
As natural musicians, they are not
excelled by any people on earth.
There is a charm to the negro south
ern melodies that has made them
popular the world over. There is a
distinctiveness to their music possessed
by no other music. Many of the most
popular songs of the world have had
their origin in the South. A large
company of real southern negroes has
been formed and will tour the north
under the title of. Darkest America.
The basis of the entertainment is
music, singing and dancing. The
representation of home-life in the
South as it actually exists in the
cities and on the plantation. Wherever
these people have appeared in their
entertainment, press and public alike
have vied with each other in pro
nouncing it the most unique and
pleasing thing of the kind ever pre
sented on the stage. Their enter
tainment appeals to all classes. There
is nothing of the "Uncle Tom" char
acter or the persecution of a down
trodden race nature in their entertain
ment. It is entirely different from
all other negro shows and will be seen
at the grand Opera House, Saturday,
Nov. 27.
Good Sense and Good Law.
Judge John Stewart, of Franklin
county, has decided that neither mag
istrates nor constables can collect
fees from the county for the arrest of
men convicted of drunkenness, dis
orderly conduct, penalties under the
game laws, tresspass and similiar
offenses, where the parties are sent to
jail for non payments of fines and
costs. At least twp other Pennsyl
vania judges have also held that the
costs of certain petty suits sent up by
the magistrates, who should have
known better, may be put upon those
magistrates when the bills are ignored
by the grand jury.
ONE OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one ot
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment cf other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex
traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidnev, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have a sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The Columbian
and send your address to Dr. Kilmer
& Co , Binghamton, N. Y. The pro
prietors of this paper guarantee the
genuineness of this offer.

Mr. Fowler'n Cnrrencr Measure.
Mr. Fowler of New Jersey, lias col
lated the comments of the financial
press on his explanation of his cur
rency reform measure. In addition to
the arguments advanced In his address
Mr. Fowler says:
"Our present system of currency is
sfcch that the slightest doubt thrown
upon our ability or disposition to main
tnUi It upon a gold basis shakes every
lurlmss to Its very foundation,
spreads devastation of values every
where, paralyzes enterprises and
brings upon our people losses of un
told millions. In addition to this dls-r.irbmi'-o
to business and Incompre
heiisiWe loss to the people, the Actuary
of the Treasury has informed us that
pi:ue 1:T9 It has cost the Government
J :::!. 94. 222 to maintain our paper upon
a gold basis, or an overage of $21,
000.000 per annum. Thl shock to com
merce, loss to the people and cost to
thp Government can be obviated by
throwing the maintenance of our stan
iTnrd of volue upon the banks, where
t!io burden belongs.
"VliO Government should retire Its
demand obligations and let the banks
assume the conduct of commerce, tak
ing with It the right of note Issue upon
certain conditions. As a first consider
ation of the privilege they should carry
the Government debt at a rate of in
terest not to exceed 2 per cent., there
by saving to the people more than fif
teen millions In interest annually. As
a second consideration they should
maintain gold payments by currently
redeeming their notes In gold, which
should be guaranteed by the payment
of a sufficient sum Into the Treasury
of the United States In the form of a
tax upon circulation. In addition to
such guarantee fund the Government
should have a first lien upon the as
sets of the banks (which now exceeds
seven billions of dollars) for the pur
pose of ultimate redemption In case of
a failure. As a third consideration
they should be required to pay Into
the United States Treasury a sufficient
tax upon deposits to insure all depos
itors in national banks against loss In
case of failure. Such a tax would not
have exceeded an average of one
twelfth of 1 per cent, per annum dur
ing the past thirty-three years, which
Is an Infinitesimal sum compared with
the great advantage to be derived
therefrom, not only to the people, but
to the banks themselves.
"Certainly, the saving annually of
more than thirty-six millions In Inter
est and the cost of maintaining gold
payments with an absolute guarantee
to the note holders and depositors in
our national banks against loss would
not only be an adequate, but a rich
consideration of note Issue."
i . .
The jury in the case of Frederick
Rockwell at Ridgway, Pa., charged
with the murder of Lewis Haines, on
Thursday evening last returned a ver
dict of guilty of murder in the first
degree. This is the second time that
Rockwell . has been declared guilty,
the first conviction being followed by
a new trial. Rockwell boarded with
Haines, and murdered him, it was
alleged that he might marrv his widow.
The crime was committed in a black
smith shop, which Rockwell set on
fire to hide evidence of his crime,
first stripping the body of his victim
and appropriating his clothing. Rock
well proposed to Mrs. Haines but his
arrest prevented their marriage.
The right of a wite to search her
sleeping husband's pockets is to be
tested in an Allegheny Court. As
husband and wife are one before the
law there can be no question legally
as to the right of the search. But it
is very curious that women should
have a predilection for their husband's
pockets when they are so averse to
pockets themselves that they will
carry change anywheie else in prefer
ence and even use their mouth's as
money jugs.
Don't give them tea or coffee. Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain O ? It is delicious and nourish

more Grain O you give the children

their systems. Grain O is made of
