Atlantic City's Winter Charms.
The breezes wafted from the great
Atlantic at this season of the year are
more healthful than all the drug stores
in Christendom, and Atlantic City is
greatly appreciated by people who
have escaped from business cares long
enough to enjoy the balmy air and
watch nature's magnificent and ever
changing spectacle. The Philadelphia
and Reading Route is the favorite line
between Philadelphia and Atlantic
City, being the most direct, equipped
throughout with Hall signals and com
pletely double tracked, so that safety
is assured. The engines all burn
hard coal and the road is ballasted
with anthracite cinders, thus avoiding
smoke and dust, and securing the
greatest possible degree of comfort to
its patrons. Fast trains leave Chest
nut and South Street Wharves, Phila
delphia, at frequent intervals.
Everybody sy So.

t Jrf ul medical discovery of the age, pleas

MILTON DISSATISFIED WITH FREE
DELIVERY.
The Service is Not Satisfactory Because ol
Insufficient Number of Carriers.
The free postal delivery service
which was installed in Milton two
months ago is not proving satisfac
tory and the citizens will likely
petition the authorities to withdraw
the carriers and restore the old sys
tem. Only two carriers have been
alloted the town, while other towns
of less population have four carriers.
District after district has been cut
off the route entirely, while other
parts of town only get one delivery
a day. Postmaster Gauger has re
ceived the following letter from
Perry S. Heath. First Assistan
Postmaster-General :
"Postmaster, Milton, Pa. Sir :
Your letter .of 7th inst. has been
carefully considered in connection
with the report of the postoffice in
spector who recently visited your
office. While it is apparent from
your statements and from the in
spector's report that you cannot
maintain your service as at present
arranged without requiring your
carriers to work overtime, there are
no funds available from which the
allowance for your office can be in
creased. The appropriation for the
free delivery service is already
overdrawn and no additional car
riers can be allowed any office until
the next appropriation becomes
available. As it is impossible for
me to grant your request for an ad
ditional carrier, I can only direct
you to so arrange your districts and
schedule as to provide eight hours
work per day for each of your
carriers and give good service to as
many of your patrons as possible
within that time. The orders of
the department relating to over
time must be strictly enforced and
under no circumstances must your
carriers be allowed to work in ex
cess of eight hours per day after
the receipt of this letter. Very
respectfully.
PERRY S. HEATH,
"First Asst. Postmaster-General."
One of the strongest organiza
tions in town is the Fourth Ward
Fire Company. Its membership has
increased from about fifteen up to
over one hundred in the last month.
Meetings are held every night in
the week at which time narrow
escapes from fires are discussed by
all present. If these nightly meet
ings continue to attract the atten
tion of the public the Town Council
will be asked for an appropriation
to enlarge the building in order to
accommodate the multitudes who
are desirous of gaining admittance.
ONE OF TWO WAYS.
1 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 of
two ways. The first way is from im
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of 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 womh
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 kidney, 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.

REPUBLICAN OAUOUS.
The Republicans of this town held
a caucus in the Town Hall Saturday
night for the purpose of nominating a
ticket to be voted for at the coming
election.
There was an unusually large crowd
on hand, the room being nearly filled.
The meeting was called to order by
H. A. McKillip, who stated its object
and asked for nominations for a Chair
man. W. J. Hidlay was named, but
declined. G. E. Wilbur was then elect
ed. Samuel Pursel and John Richard
son were chosen Secretaries.
• The organization being perfected
the next in order was the nomination
of candidates.
For President of Council, three
persons were named, W. O. Holmes,
F. P. Drinker and E. B. Brower. A
vote was then taken. R. D. Young
and Edwin H. Ent were appointed
tellers to count the vote.
In order to save time the Chairman
stated that while the vote on Presi
dent was being counted the caucus
would proceed with the nomination of
Members of Council. As there were
but three nominations made, and
three to be elected it was decided
that the Secretaries cast the vote of
the caucus, which was done. Follow
ing are the nominees: J. L. Dillon,
J. S. Blue and W. S. Rishton.
The tellers for.President returned
and the vote was announced. Holmes
having received the largest number of
votes was declared the nominee.
The most interest was centered on
the nomination of school director.
Long before the meeting was called
to order the two candidates W. H.
Brooke and Joseph Garrison were on
the scene, whispering to the voters,
and it was evident a struggle was on.
The chairman announced that the
vote would be taken. Jacob Stiner
and E. J. Garringer were appointed
tellers.
While the result was being waited
for, Chairman Wilbur stated that
nominations lor Registry assessor
would be in order. J. V. Logan was
the only name offered and he was de
clared the nominee.
The tellers tor school director re
turned and announced the vote which
was as follows. Garrison 87. Brooke
79. Garrison was declared the nomi
nee.
Following are the ward nomina
tions :
FIRST DISTRICT.
Judge of Election —D. P. Conner.
Inspector—C- P. Sloan.
Registry Assessor —C. W. Brown.
SECOND WARD.
Judge—John Scott.
Inspector—Chas. Hendershott.

THIRD WARD.
Judge—Robert Penman,
Inspector—W. E. Dietterick.
Registry Assessor—Roy Ralston.
FOURTH WARD.
Judge—Hank Ludlow.
Inspector—Elwood Heacock.
Registry Assessor—Clark Kashner.
This ended the work and the
caucus adjourned.
•'MARTHA."
The Opera Was Sung With Very Fine Effect
by the Andrews Company.
The Bradford Era of Jan. 12 says :
"At the Wagner last nighl the An
drews Opera company made its init
ial appearance before a Bradford au
dience and the impression formed was
favorable. Flotow's melodious and
romantic opera, "Martha," was sung
in a manner that elicited the hearty
approval of all who heard it. The
chorus was unusually strong and the
principals in the cast were far above
the average in ability.
Miss Rena Atkinson was unable to
appear in the role of Lady Harriet and
the part was sung by Mrs. Ed. An
drews, a very pleasing soprano. Nancy
was the character taken by the fall,
Juno-like Miss Marian Ivel, a young
lady who possesses a marvelously rich,
contralto voice. Miss Ivel has all the
requirements of a coming footlight
queen. A very winsome and ingenu
ous style added much to the favorable
opinion that her singing produced. T.
W. Walters, a tenor of rare vocal gifts,
captured the good will of the audience
in his first scene. Dashiell Madeira, a
fine baritone, formerly of the Boston
ians, also obtained a large share of
the applause. He is a finished and
effective singer. Mr. Ed. Andrews
was also seen and heard to good ad
vantage. At the end of the third act
the company was given an enthusias
tic ovation and responded gracefully.
The performance was very enjoyable
throughout." /
Bloomsburg Opera House to-night.
The first real Klondike gold sent to
this section of the state was received
by Mrs. Jacob F. Graeber at Shamo
kin on Tuesday. It was sent by her
husband who is now confined in a
hospital at Seattle, Wash. He says
although the hardships are very great,
he will make an attempt to get back
into the Klondike in the spring and
like all others try to make his fortune.
