Pharmacist By the way what is the matter with the wheat question. The republican organs have kept unusually quiet since the cereal took a drop last week. Rumor has it that there will be several weddings in Bloomsburg in the near future. Victims of Cupid's dart are always quite numerous in June. John Singley died at his home in Main township on Tuesday after noon. He was about fifty-five and had lived in that township for a number of years. Michael Dormer of Ceutralia was lodged in jail Friday evening on charge of having assaulted one Michael Grant, who it is said is in a very critical condition. H. M. Hockman has opened a con fectionery store in Danville. Harry Christian will dispose of his business on Market Street and take charge of tne Exchange Bakery. John L. Richardson's new house on Normal Hill is about completed. When it is entirely finished it will be one of the prettiest of the many pretty homes in that part of town. The weather during the past week has been very favorable to the farmers. The tillers of the soil are rejoicing over the prospects of good crops this fall. - The money spent on our navy should not be considered a war ex penditure. Our navy has always been too small, and even now, after the several additions which have been made, is too small for a first class peace preserver. A quoit match is being talked of between Orangeville and Bloomsburg. It is the intention to select five of the best pitchers from each place. We don't know how the Orangevillians are this season, but if we are to judge them by their reputation in years gone by, it will make our representa tives hustle to win. Charles L. Hawley Esq., of Scran ton, the Prohibition candidate for President Judge of this district will make a personal canvass of the two counties. He is an able and well known attorney, was the Prohibition candidate for Governor in 1894, and intends giving Columbia and Montour counties a lively campaign. The engagement of Miss Rachel Rc-ese the accomplished daughter of Captain Edward Reese, of Park Place, and Robert Hartman, one ot Bloomsburg's sterling young men, is announced. The wedding will take place shortly. Miss Reese is well and favorably known to many of our towns people. She was formerly of Centralia. —Mt. Carmei Star. Nine carrier pigeons were let loose in the river park this morning. They were brought from Bloomsburg by Arthur Roan, who is training them. He says it takes twenty minutes for the birds to fly from Sunbury to Bloomsburg. The birds are owned by Boyd C. Evans, manager of the Bloomsburg Store Company.—Sun bury Item. The coming democratic primaries to be held Saturday, will be the first election under the new party rules, which were adopted at the conven tion last year. Under the new rules, the delegate system is done away with and the successful candidates will be chosen by the popular vote of the people. This is a great improve ment over the old system and will prevent fraud- to a considerable ex tent. The election officers will be a judge and two inspectors who will be appointed by the Chairman of the County Committee. As the election will be of more than ordinary im portance, every democrat should make a special effort to get out and vote. A Thrilling Lectors. It will be a rare treat to hear Prof. Van Liew give his illustrated lecture in the Methodist Church next Friday Evening June ic on "Cuba and the War. He will use his powerful double stereoptican and with it throw upon the screen nearly 150 large clear views. The lecture is drawing immense audiences in other places and is spoken of by all who hear it as intensely interesting and full of valua ble information. The admission is a silver offering at the door. There will doubtless be a great audience to hearthis most thrilling lecture. THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. Notice to the Democratic Voters of Columbia Oouuty and to the General Public. We will establish temporary head quarters at Bloomsburg, in the Peacock Building on Main and Market Sts., on Saturday night, Juue nth, to be continued until after the County Convention. Ar rangements have been made for the prompt collection of the Official re turns from every voting district in the County whereby the results of our coming Primary Election will be made known, as far as received, by public bulletin, at our Head quarters in Bloomsburg, and at all local Telephone Stations through out the County. The issuing of bulletin will begin at 8:30 P. M. and will be issued regularly each hour thereafter until 11:30 P. M. All persons living in the vicinity of a telephone office who feel interested, will please see the owners of local phones and ar range for receiving the news. This is being done for the pleas ure of the general public and all parties concerned. Very Respectfully, JOHNG. MCHENKV, Chairman Dem. Standing Com. R. G. F. KSHINKA, Secretary. Prof- Oolbs For June. The Army Worms, the Grasshoppers, and the Locusts will again make their Appearance. The death of Gladstone fulfilled our prediction for May "that Eng land would be cast into deep mourn ing." The revolutionary feeling in Spain came as we predicted: and also the destructive storms and floods, all proving the correctness of our prophesies. This mouth Earth will pass through the "House of Enemies," and be opposed by "House of Sickness," which means more trouble for us all. Disease epidemics will sweep thousands away to death, and wars, pestilences, earthquakes, famines, etc., will com mence their work of destruction, and during the next six months will break all previous records. Many nations now enjoying "peace and plenty" will be brought down to war and want. Watch the bright star in the golden west, for when it reaches sign Libra we have reason to believe that Cuban freedom will be proclaimed. Our prediction "that the bright star in the golden west would be directly in the pathway of the moon, and would cause high gales and de structive storms between the 17th and 23d of May," was also verified by the death dealing cyclones that I swept the Western States at that time. Another sea of gaseous mat ter is now passing between us and the sun, and its shadow will reacli us sometime between the 3d and 10th inst., we think, and will cause fearful storms of wide range, both on land and sea. If the magnetic currents continue to run northward great storms and floods will sweep the Eastern States, as well as the • Western and Southern. Extreme heat waves will pass over the coun-' try, and these will be followed by frost, and snow in some localities. Fierce electrical storms accompanied by high gales and cutting hail, will pour down streams of white light ning and cause destructive confla- • grations. There will be one grand —almost continuous— display of forked-lightning this month. This month will have twenty "high flood" days, (twelve of them running right along in succession without a break) and there will be five high flood Wednesday. This unusual occurence indicates the coming of a severe drought, there-, Did You Take Scott's Emulsion through the winter? If so, we are sure it quieted your cough, healed the rawness in your throat, increased your weight, gave you more color, and made . you feel better in every way. But perhaps your cough has come back again, or you are get ting a little thin and pale. Then, why not continue the same helpful remedy right through the summer? It will do 1 you as much good as when the weather is cold. Its persistent use will certainly give you a better appetite and a j stronger digestion.

T_ EL ZBO-2TS, OPTICIAN, . : ■ fore all grass, grain or vegetable seeds should be sown on the high flood days, and planted deep down in the soil, so that their roots may draw water from the earth to extin guish the fires of the burning sun 011 their tender structures above. ; The army worms, the grasshoppers and the locusts will again make their appearance and do great dam age. The potato louse (miasmatic microbe) has already put in its ap pearance, and all potatoes planted at low ebb time will be slowly con sumed before the 10th of July, as though a fire had swept over them. Truly, the spider she spins her net work for prey, and catches the in sects that cometh her way ! But the farmer, he ploweth his furrows for naught--the reason ; Not plant ing in "signs" as he ought. Mars is directly opposite Jupiter, our financial indicator, and that Earth is midway between them both in the barren and unfruitful sign Sagittarius. This portends more sorrow for England, an epidemic of financial troubles in many countries and a very sudden turn in the pres ent state of war conditions. Either peace will be proclaimed or Spain's army will be reinforced by some other nation. There will be trouble all along the line and an attack will be made upon our sea coast by both man and the elements. The bad nature in men and women will break out and cause a record of crimes ' such as the world never before ex perienced. Watch out for another strange phenomena in the heavens this month. Germany may give . us trouble. PROF. C. COLES, Kingston, Pa. CHILDREN'S DAY. In the Methodist church next Sun day most interesting children's day exercises will be held.
