An Important Oase.
We take the following from the
Sunbury Daily , which will be of in
terest to many of our readers:
"In our mention of the cases
from this county to be argued in the
Superior Court at Philadelphia on
the 24th inst., we omitted the case
of Lyda Erdman vs. Emanuel Gott
shall. This case is a very important
one, especially to farmers as it relates
to their duties in fencing in their
cattle. In the trial of the case in
our court Judge Savidge held that
the owner of cattle must* fence them
in at all hazards; that the mere fact
of his having a sufficient fence was
not enough to relieve him from his
liability for any damage they might
commit if they broke out. That he
is only relieved in case some mis
chevious or malicious person open
ed the fence so as to permit the
cattle to escape. In other words the
owner "is absolutely bound to keep
them within his own close, upon
his own premises," and it is not a
! question whether the owner isnegli
i gent or not in entrusting them to
I another party to drive them to his
field. If they escape and do damage
the owner is liable. If this case is
affirmed, owners of cattle will have
to exercise great care with their
! fences and in driving their cattle to
their fields. 4
What do the Children Drink ?
Don't give them tea or coffee Have
you tried the new food drink called
Grain-0 ? It is delicious and nourish
ing and takes the place of coffee. The
more Grain-O you give the children
the more health you distribute through
their systems. Grain-O is made of
pure grains, and when properly pre
pared tastes like the choice grades of
coffee but costs about £ the price. All
grocers sell it. 15c and 25c.

THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA.
A. Gold Ulooded Harder.
There is a saying to the effect that
"they don't hang for murder in
Northumberland county." For many
years past that belief has held good,
and many a murderer has escaped
the gallows in that county, but it will,
no doubt, be done away with at the
next term of Court, when young Ed
ward Cressinger will be tried for the
murder of pretty 13-year-old Daisy
Smith, whose shot-riddled body was
found by her father one day last
week. He has confessed the crime,
and says he killed her because she
jilted him.
The crime was carefully planned,
Cressinger says. He had learned
that Miss Smith intended to visit a
friend at a nearby hamlet, and with a
gun and a knife in his hands he lay
in wait for his victim.
He saw her emerge from the woods
and came towards her on the road.
Secreting himself, he waited until she
was within twenty yards and then
took deliberate aim at her eyes and
pulled the trigger. The girl dropped
unconscious to the ground, but fear
ing that she still lived, Cressinger says,
he cut her three times with his knife
across the neck, severing the jugular
vein and almost cutting the head
from the body.
The job complete, Cressinger
hastened to retreat, but first withdrew
the shell from the gun and dropped it
by her side. He then wiped the blood
from his hands. Making his way over
the road he noticed a hollow tree in
the woods and into this he dropped
the knife. It was found there yesterday.
On reaching home Cerssmger placed
the gun in its customary place without
being noticed, and then went about
cleaning the blood from his overalls.
In this operation he was discovered by
a posse, who were looking for the
murderer, and he was taken into cus
tody, barely escaping lynching.
Through the shrewdness of the coroner
he was hustled away to jail.
Who Shall Rule.
The real contest and issue in this
election is between Quayistn and
the people of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. The question that
you must answer on your conscience
and on your character as patriots is,
who shall rule, one single auto
cratic ruler, with those whom he
has bound to himself, or the voice
of the people, honestly expressed by
the ballot ? GEO. A. JENKS,
at Mcadville.
VOTE FOR COCHRAN FOR
STATE SENATOR.
AN ADDRESS TO THE VOTERB
of Pennsylvania by the Democratic State
Executive Committoe.
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC STATE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
1406 SOUTH PENN SQUARE, PHILA
DELPHIA, PENN'A.
To the Citizens of Pennsylvania:
Through a long and trying period
the people of our great State have suf
fered from the multiplied evils insepar
able trom misgovernment. Their just
and repeated demand for relief has
been persistently refused; their em
phatic expressions of condemnation
have been defiantly ignored. Instead
of retrenchment and reform, they have
witnessed an aggravation of miscon
duct upon the part ot those entrusted
with official responsibility. Every
promise exacted has been broken;
every effort to stem the tide of extra
vagance and iniquity has been defeat
ed through the power unscrupulously
exercised by selfish and conscience
less leaders. LThe name and influence
of a great political party has been
used to carry out schemes of public
plunder, participated in by members
of the legislative and executive branch
es of the State government, and by
others charged with the performance
of public trusts of a local character.
This organized conspiracy against the
interests of the people has extended
to every part ot the Commonwealth,
and nothing but patriotic and most
determined unity of action upon the
part of good citizenship will break it
up and restore honest, efficient and
economical administration.
In this crisis the Democratic party
has taken a position where it can sin
cerely and effectively appeal to the
patriotism and manhood of our long
enthralled State. It has undertaken
a contest in behalf of all the people,
regardless of the ordinary lines of
political partisanship. It has set the
battle against the enemies of honest
government as the supreme issue of
the hour, and thus in line with the
righteous and imperative demand of
the people it means to go forward,
courageously and invincibly. From
every section of the State has come a
response to this wise and patriotic ac
tion that is most inspiring. Men of
opposite political faith are standing
shoulder to shoulder and moving on
to certain victory ovei the common
foe.
The chief standard bearer of this
movement is a man of the people,
who profoundly believes in govern
ment of the people and for the people,
and his record of conscientious and
faithful service in the cause of private
and public purity nd fidelity is the
highest guarantee that his election to
the chief magistracy of Pennsylvania
will usher in a new era at the State
Capitol. To the lion. George A.
Jenks every citizen may confidently
look for safe leadership in this contest
for the right. He has never sought
public office and is under no such ob
ligations as make the servants of politi
cal task-masters obedient to their im
perious demands. He has for two
score years set the highest example of
personal honor, and while in the public
service won the admiration of political
friends and foes by unselfish devotion
to duty and unwavering zeal in behalf
of the best interests of the people. He
is pre-eminently the man for the hour
in Pennsylvania, and as the people
come to fully know what manner of
man tye is they will rally to his support
with unity and enthusiasm hereto un
known.
The associates of Mr. Jenks on the
State ticket are all men of high char
acter and thorough fitness. Two of
them, Hon. Wra. Sowden and Captain
Patrick DeLacy, were brave soldiers
in the war for the Union, serving in
the ranks with fidelity, and the last
named wears the Congressional medal
of honor for exceptionally meritorious
conduct in battle. The candidates
for the Superior Court, Prof. Wm. H.
Trickett, of Dickinson College, and
Hon. Calvin M. Bower, of the Belle
fonte Bar, are men of recognized abil
ity and attainments and their election
would add to the dignity and efficiency
of the bench. The candidates for
Congressmen-at-Large, Messrs.Weiler
and lams, are earnest and honest rep
resentatives of the plain people, who
especially deserve, and should receive,
the confidence and support of the
State, in field and factory.
The outlook is most encouraging.
A brief campaign has already demon
strated the readiness and determina
tion of the people to improve the op
portunity thus presented, and there is
every indication that the rising tide
for jenks and reform will sweep on,
from the Ohio to the Delaware. This
committee congratulates voters, irre
spective of party, upon the prospect,
and asks every good citizen to do his
whole duty. Let there be no lagging
at any point. Close up the ranks.
Be not deceived by the schemes of
the skulking enemies of reform, who
are seeking to mislead voters into sup
porting a third candidate who has no
chance of election.
Fully a half riillion loyal Demo
crats will march to the polls arid cast
their bal'ots for the ticket headed by
Mr. Jer.ks; ard this mighty army will
be joined in every county by untold
numbers of honest Republicans, who
have resolved to break the power of
Quayism and all that it stands for for
ever.
Give us your hearts and your
hands and your help in every way
practicable. The • distribution of
timely literature is a needful work in
which all can engage, and every good
citizen should labor with his neighbor
and see that he hears right, thinks
right and votes .right. Let there be
an irresistible union of patriotic senti
ment and practical effort and the re
sult will be a crowning victory for
genuine reform, on the Bth of No
vember next. (Signed)
JNO. M. GARMAN,
Chairman Democratic State Ex
ecutive Committee.
