THE COLUMBIAN.
BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Prof- Coles for November-
The North Pole Will bo Discovered and
Andrce Will be Found This Month.
Our planetary chart for Novem
ber shows a strikingly strange con
dition of planetary affairs. The
morning stars, Jupiter, Mars and
Neptune are all in one line, and the
evening stars, Uranus, Saturn,
Mercury, Venus and Earth, and
the Sun in another—and these lines
jun parallel to each other. There
fore the morning stars will battle
with the evening stars and perhaps
set the whole country in an uproar
socially, financially, religiously and
politically ; causing wars, strikes,
mobs, assassinations and death of
rulers, and awful crimes.
Our Storm and Sign Calendar
shows 21 High Flood days for the
mouth of November and only 9 Low
Ebb days; this gives the High
Flood vital forces the ruling power,
and the Thanksgiving Day of 1898
will be the greatest day of thanks
giving that this country has ever
witnessed. The continuous run of!
High Flood days, from the 19th to !
the 30th inst., will have a tendency
to strengthen the month of Decem
ber and bring about an unprecedent
ed Christmas trade. We want to
say right here that every man of
business should have our calendar
so as to steer clear of the storms.
The bright star in the southwest
will be brightest from the 7th until
the 12th inst., and will disappear
on or about Thanksgiving Day.
The yellow lever microbes kept
up their record last month, as we
said they would ; and the war cloud
of human microbes (the Indians)
broke out just as we predicted.
This month watch out for some
awful epidemics to sweep over the
country, as there are a strange and
hideous looking lot of microbes now
flying through the air. For the
past ten days we have been study
ing their movements. They seem
to be sort of a cross between the
smallpox microbe and the yellow
fever microbe ; and, suffice it to say
that out of 593 experiments only
one compound took any effect.
That was equal parts of saleratus
and sulphur, and camphor gum, in
the fo lowing proportions: One-half
teaspoonful saleratus and one-half
of sulphur, and a piece of camphor
gum 110 larger than a pea ; mix all
together and sprinkle slowly upon
a hot stove, at least once a week,
keeping the doors and windows
closed so that the fumes will enter
all parts of the house. This will
also have a tendency to drive away
the diphtheria and scarlet fever
microbes that are now out foraging.
The world is not coming to an
end in 1900, as some scientists would
have you to believe ; but many
nations will exchange places. China
will be completely upset and mill
ions of her countrymen will land
into America, while intelligent
Americans will make a garden of
Eden out of China. The Bubonic
plague will soon begin its awful
work of destruction in the Old
Country and cause thousands of her
people to fly to America for their
lives. A change of government will
be inaugurated in England, Ger
many and France. Queen Victoria,
Emperor William, Pope Leo and
several other rulers will be called
away. The present forms of gov
ernment in America will be changed
There will be wars all along the
color line. Prof. Andrce will be
found ; and the North Pole dis
covered. The Eastern States may
be flooded this month, as well as
the Southern and Western. Watch
out for strange appearing phe
nomena in the Heavens.

O. E. MELLICK, P. M.
VOTE FOR rOLK FOR
CONGRESS. I
The Death Knell of the Republican Party-
The death struggle is agonizing.
Corruption in the republican party
is so corrupt that it grasps at every
floating straw. Its doom is sealed.
Fate is written over every republi
can candidate. This congressional
district also teems with unstinted
corruption. The Berwick corpora
tion also seeks to own a congress
man. llow can this be, except by
wholesale corruption ? In a con
gressional district, from 5000 to
6,000 majority of different political
complexions, nothing but whole
sale corruption can bring about
such a result.
Is the Woodin presumptions so 1
foolhardy as to suppose that enough
democratic voters can be bartered
to seat their man in conference in j
the nation's councils at Washing- j
ton ? Are the democrats such fools '
as to play first fiddle to a Berwick
corporation ? Democracy is im
pregnable and cannot be bought or
sold as slaves, and to bow the knee
to this political Baal. On the night
of Nov. Bth they will find that the
Stone which the builders rejected
did not become the head of the cor
ner of the Quay corruption in the
temple of "Executive Halls of Jus
tice" at Harrisburg ; and that when
this Quay corruption shall have put
011 political incorruption, then will
be heralded abroad the glad tidings,
that the republican party is swal
lowed up in democratic victory from
top to bottom.
A DEMOCRAT.

The old Court House at Towanda
has been sold for S2OO and will be
torn down. It stands behind the
beautiful new structure recently erect
ed by Bradford county. The old
Court House in Bloomsburg was
modeled after it. In the basement
was the Sheriff's residence, and sever
al cells used as the county jad for
many years. In what was known as
the dark cell a murderer was execut
ed many years ago. On the bench of
the court room David YVilmot sat, he
of YVilmot Proviso fame while in con
gress, and afterwards a Judge of the
Court of Claims ot the United States.
Ulysses Mercur, afterwards a member
of Congress, and Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, also
served a term as President Judge.
At the bar in those days there were
many distinguished lawyers in Brad
ford county, including Overton,
Adams, YY'atkins, Elwell, Baird, YVard,
Macfarlane and many others. All of
these legal giants have passed away,
and now the old court house where
their forensic ability was displayed is
to be torn down, and will soon, like
them, be no more.
J. E. Eickhoitz, senior editor of
the Stinbury Daily and Northumber-
Ictnii County Democrat , died sudden
ly of heart disease at home in Sun
bury Sunday morning. During his
lifetime he was connected with the
Lancaster Examiner, Lewisburg
Journal , and for several years was
editor in chief of the Pottsville Stand
aril. In politics he was a stalwart
democrat.
The deceased was a brother of Mrs.
Thomas YVayne and an uncle of Mrs.
