A Free Book.
Every subscriber who pays all ar
rearages, and one year-' in advance,
will be presented with the Thrice-a-week
World for 3 months, or a World
Almanac for 1899. The Almanac
contains a marvellous compendium ot
useful facts, and a complete history of
, the Spanish-American war, and a bat
tle calendar.
Oar Premium Offers
There sterns to be some misunder
standing about our offer to give away
certain things to subscribers, and we
therefore repeat: Any subscriber, no
matter whether paid in advance or not
can have a Calendar for 1899, by
calling at this office, or by sending us
a two cent stamp.
The World Almanac, or the lliricc-a-weck
World for three months, not
both, but one or the oilier, is given to
every subscriber who pays all arrear
ages, and a full year in advance. This
will be strictly adhered to, and we
must ask our patrons not to ask for
anything more, as we sh.Ul be com
pelled to refuse. These books and
papers cost money, and the object is
to induce advance payments. Our
regular terms are cash in advance,
and there is no reason why we should
present a premium to those who do
not comply with these terms. So
' please remember, a calendar to every
'? subscriber who calls for it; the Alria-
? aac, or the World for 3 months, to all
j who pay a full year in advance.

000,000 2-cent postage stamps in
1898, and the good Pennsylvania
town of Lockhaven furnished the
paper for them. Some one who
likes the making of calculation

they would reach over a distance of
40,000 miles.

A special and quite lengthy meet

unpaid taxes on the duplicates of
1896. J. K. Bittenbender, the for
mer collector, attended the meeting
and showed his list of those who
had failed to pay up. The number
is entirely too large, and unless
payments are forthcoming, severe
steps will be taken to force settlement.

A special from Shamokin, to yes
terday's Inquirer, says that a meet
ing of the stockholders of the Mon
tour and Columbia Telephone Co.
was held on Tuesday to lay plans
for connecting Shamokin, Sunbury,
Northumberland and Catawissa.
Those present at the meeting were
Judge Savidge, Major Clement, C.
P. Hancock, Frank C. Angle, I,sq.,
and Kdward O' Conner. It was de
cided to build the line at once.
It will be well for all persons
raving properties to rent to remem
ber that all leases of property must
have a United States government
revenue stamp attached. Those
for one year must have a 2 5 -cent
stamp, for two or three years, a 50
cent stamp, and for over three
years, a stamp costing $1. If no
stamp lease is used, then each re
ceipt for rent must bear a stamp.
This is imperative. Failure to com
ply with the law invites heavy pen
alties. We received a letter last week
from J. Howard Kline, located at
Weston, Wood County, Ohio. He
says mere lias been considerable
excitement there lately, occasioned
by the discovery of oil. He is
himself engaged in drilling a well
on his farm, but he says the work
is going rather slow, owing to the
inability of the drillers to case the
water off. A. M. vv lute, another
former Columbia Countian, owns a
large farm at Weston, and a well
was drilled last week just across the
road from his property, and oil ex
tracted in paying quantities. We
hope Mr. Kline's experiments will
be successful.
Hoarded Wealth Found
A find of gold was made Friday at
tne home of i.hjah liuckwalter, in
Wallace township, Chester county.
Holland Buckwalter recently, died
and an examination of his papers re
vealed a paper which told a strange
storv. It gave directions to the tind
ers to proceed to a room occupied by
William Moser, where a certain board
was to be removed and there would
be found a lot ot wealth.
The directions were followed, and
when the board was lifted a glittering.
mass of hoarded wealth presented it
self. Most of it was in gold, the re
mainder paper money, and it aggre
$8,600.
