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.

quarters at Bloomsburg, in the
Peacock Building on Main and
Market Sts., on Saturday night,

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-,

fore all grass, grain or vegetable
seeds should be sown on the high

; 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

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.
