It is said the Capital Building

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

five below at Millville and 28 at

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

I Delicate i
I Children!
They do not complain
of 3
. anything in particular. 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.

much of a disease breeder as physi

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.
