All such i communica tions are welcome and will always be printed. A grip epidemic is threatened in Wilkesbarre. Hundreds of people are down with the disease. Mayor Nicols has issued a proclamation urging citizens to thoroughly clean their premises, as he has been advis ed by an eminent physician that 1 where filth is plenty there will be plenty of grip. It is said the Capital Building Commission will ask the next Legis lature for an appropriation of $3,000, 000 to complete the new State House. It is not believed the pro posed work on the building can be finished for several years, as it will require a long time for the stone facing to be quarried and prepared for use. The weather prognosticator who last week said this winter would be noted for its mildness, must have been out the night before, or else he's a poor gtiesser. Sunday night was undoubtedly the coldest we have had for many years, the ther mometer registered 1 4 degrees below zero. It is said to have been twenty five below at Millville and 28 at Jamison City. Hon. F. Carroll Brewster of Phil adelphia, Attorney-General of the State during Gov. Geary's term, died suddenly on the cars, near Charlotte, North Carolina, while on his way south for his health.

Absolutely pure is the claim made in every advertisement of the Royal Baking Powder and absolutely pure is the verdict of every housekeeper in the land using the Royal. It is the standard among baking powders, worth the price sold at, because of its purity, healthful bread-making qualities and the strength that makes a small quantity go a long way. No trouble about delicious biscuit and pastry when the Royal is used. We are presenting to all our read ers who call at the office for them, a handsome calander for the year upon which we have just entered. A calander is almost a necessity in every household. It will remind our readers of the great flight of time and the name of the paper which they read and which we strive to make worthy of considerate atten tion. George Appleman, ot Rohrsburg, has been in town this week wit! a fine line of sleighs. The snowfall of Saturday night was a great boom to his business. On Tuesday morn ing he disposed of three handsome ones and later in the day he was obliged to seiui home vfor more. George is just as good at selling sleighs as he is at pitching quoits, and we know something of his abil ity in that direction. Two columns of plate matter were printed on the first page two weeks ago that would have been rejected if it had been read before insertion. It related to the election of a United States Senator. We supposed that it was furnished by the. Democratic State Committee, as was done dur ing the fall campaign, and so pub lished it without reading it. On perusal we find that it represents neither our views, nor those of the party, and we therefore frankly ad mit that we were imposed upon by somebody, but have not been able to locate it exactly. Following are the officers elected by Theta Castle, No. 276, K. G. IS. , of Bloomsburg, for the ensuing six months : Past Chief, A. For tune ; Noble Chief, Joe Townsend; Vice Chief, H. R.

They 2 eat enough, but keep thin and S Eale. lhey appear tairly well, $ ut have no strength. You jj cannot say they are really sick, and so you call them jj delicate. What can be done forthem ? Our answer is the same that the best physicians have been J. giving for a quarter of a cen if tury. Give them i Scott's Emulsion s of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. It has most re i markable nourishing power. It gives color to the blood. It if brings strength to the mus cles. It adds power to the nerves. It means robust health and vigor. Even deli cate infants rapidly gain in flesh if given a small amount three or four times each day. joc. tnd $i.eo .11 dnilttf. SCOTT 4 BOWNE, Ch.miiu, Ntw York. 'A Bachelor's Honeymoon" gave general satisfaction to a medium sized audience at the Opera House Friday night. If the osculatory exercise is as much of a disease breeder as physi cians and sourfaced mothers of pretty daughters would have one believe, Hobson ought to be afflict ed with every trouble to which human flesh is heir. In the Lackawanna County Jail there is a prisoner named Gannon, who has been incarcerated there for three years for contempt of court. Gannon refused to testify in a civil case involving a title to land. A peculiarity of a commitment for con tempt of court is that it is made without term and the prisoner must remain in jail until he purges him self of contempt. There is no indi cation, as yet, that Gannon purposes securing his release from confine ment. At Auction. The entire stock of Gidding & Co.
