O. B. MELLICK, P. M.
Hon. Russell Karns and family of
Laporte, left Sullivan county Monday
morning and returned to Benton, Col
umbia county, from which place they
moved to Lapcrte nineteen years ago.
During his residence in Sullivan coun
ty, Mr. Karns has accumulated a for
tune and secured the title of "Honor
able," which he earned by serving a
term in the Pennsylvania legislature.
We are very sorry to lose him as a
citizen, but hope that nothing but
happiness is in store for him in his
old home.— Dushore Review.
The substitution of men for women,
and vice versa, is one of the most re
cent methods of provoking fun.
Probably no comedy has succeeded
better in carrying out this idea than
"The Real Widow Brown." In this
the complications arising from the ex
changes of the sexes are so numerous
and laugh-bringing that it would be a
work of supererogation to give them in
full. In addition to the humor inher
ent in the comedy, the extremely ver
satile company engaged by Mr. A. Q.
Scammon to present it affords two
hours of fun, music and dancing.
Opera House, Oct. 13.
Frank L. Ricketts, the veteran hotel
proprietor at Lake Ganoga, has retired
on account of ill health and will here
after make his home at Orangeville.
He has managed the North Mountain
House for many years, and acquired
a reputation as a successful hotel man
second to none in the state. His
place is known far and wide as a
model summer resort for those who
are truly seeking rest from the bustle
and cares of city life, a place where
the purest of air and most complete
quiet and test are combined. Manning
Chilson is the new manager of the
house.
THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMBBURG. PA.
It has been decided not to hold a
fair at Danville this year.
Tlieo. F. Conner's Keystone Works
has been connected by telephone.
Bloomsburg boarding house land
lords are reaping their annual Fair
harvest.
A two-story addition has been
added to W. V. Robbins' House on
West Sixth street.
Don't fail to see Mercer's lamp dis
play on the fairground this week. It
will be worth your while.
If you want to enjoy yourself to
night go to the Opera House. The
A. Z. Scannon Company will present
the '• Real Widow Brown " in its en
tirety.
R. H. Ringler has opened a fur
niture repairing shop on Third street,
four doors below the B. & S. R. R.
He has had much experience in this
line, and is a skilled workman.
Fakirs as usual are in town in great
numbers with every iminaginable con
trivance to catch the unwary. We
caution our readers to avoid all games
of chance, while attending the fair this
week.
For the protection of visitors and
residents, against the numberless pick
pockets, and thugs who usually follow
up the fairs, the Bloomsburg police
force has been largely increased for
this week.
Work on M. Drake's new house on
East Fifth street is being pushed along
rapidly. He expects to have it com
pleted before cold weather sets in. It
will be another addition to the beauti
ful residences of that section of town.
Many of our people are making
preparations to attend the peace jubi
lee at Philadelphia on the 28th of this
month. All railroads will sell excur
sion rates. It will no doubt be the
greatest demonstration Pennsylvania
has ever had.
The law requires that nothing but
pure apple juice be used in the manu
facture of cider vinegar, and sixty days
are given dealers to dispose of all adul
terated stock. At die end of that time
prosecution will be made against all
dealers in anything but the pure goods.
Merrit H. Smith, Captain of Com
pany D. Ist Regiment United States
Volunteer Engineers, at Ponce, Porto
Rico, has informed Samuel Shaffer, of
Third street, that his son Boyd, who
is a member of the company, is in
the hospital sick with blood poison
ing. His condition was not consider
ed serious at the time the letter was
written.
The Philadelphia Inquirer is evi
dently not very well acquainted with
the political situation in this Congres
sional district. In an editorial on
Tuesday that journal intimates that
the Democrats are offering very little
or no opposition to Woodin, the Re
publican candidate. If the Inquirer
editor only knew the sentiment of the
people as regards the Congressional
fight in this district, he would change
his opinion in the matter.
Mrs. Chromis, of Eighth street, lost
two horses this week of a peculiar dis
ease. The team was in charge of a
young man on Monday and was
hitched to a big wagon. He had been
down to the P. & R. Depot and was
on his way up Fifth street, when both
horses became paralyzed, and fell to
the ground. One of the horses was
able to be led home to the barn, but
the other had to be hauled. A veter
inarian was sent for but he was unable
to help the animals or to name the
disease with which they were afflicted.
One died Monday evening and the
other Tuesday morning. It may be
that they were poisoned.
"Just as
Good
as Scott's and we sell it much
cheaper," is a statement sometimes
made by the druggist when Scott's
Emulsion is called for. This shows
that the druggists themselves regard
Scott's
Emulsion
of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos
phites of Lime and Soda as the
standard, and the purchaser who
desires to procure the " standard "
because he knows it has been of
untold benefit, should not for one
instant think of taking the risk of
fusing some untried prepa
ration. The substitution
of something said to be
"just as good" for a stand
ard preparation twenty
five years on the market,
should not be permitted by
the intelligent purchaser.
Be sure you get SCOTT'S Emulsion. See
that the men and Sah are on the wrapper

WCOTT a BOWNE, Chemists, New York.
Successors Appointed.
The Centralis School Tbard case
was heard before Judge Herring
Tuesday afternoon, and a decision
rendered ousting the old board and
appointing to take their places the
following citizens: Thomas Mad
den, Albert Ball, Patrick J. Ruddy,
David Andrews, John Curry and
Martin Camfield. The trouble be
gan in 1896, when J. H. Eisen
hower was elected principal of the
schools for the term of three years,
At the expiration of his first year,
a new board of directors was elect
ed, who refused to recognize the
action of the former board and ap
pointed another principal. Mr.
Eisenhower brought suit for the
year's salary and obtained judgment.
He applied for the position this
year but was again refused. The
Schools which should have opened
September Ist, were kept closed.
Therefore, on Saturday the
citizens, becoming tired of the con
dition of affairs, and anxious to
have the schools opened, petitioned
the Court to oust the board and ap
point their successors, which was
done.
