The presentation of "Ye Dees
treect Skewl" in the Opera House
Thursday evening under the aus
pices of the Lutheran Church was
one of the mcst successful and
enjoyable productions given in
Bloomsburg for a long time. The
interpretation of each and every
character was first class, and the
audience, which was' a pretty large
one, was delighted with the per
formance. The Lutheran year book just is

The gay and giddy season for this
winter is rushing to its close. The
fifteenth of this month will mark
the beginning of the Lenten Season
which is cousiderably earlier than
for several years past, and beside
this, there is another circumstance
which will be deeply regretted by
the ultra fashionable style advan
cers. Easter falls on the second
day of April, and that will be en
tirely too early for the display of
spring hats and gowns.
Sicyles McKillip has a large and
fine collection ot pictures taken by
himself while he was doing service
for Uncle Sam in Porto Rico.
Among the moat interesting perhaps
is the Santiago battle field. He also
has another one showing the large
tree under which the negotations
for the exchange of Hobson and his
crew were made. Mr. McKillip
says that there were at least twelve
photographers in his regiment, yet
lie prides himself on having secured
the largest and best collection of the
lot. Mr. McKillip prizes them very
highly and it is doubtful if the snug
sum of $3,000 would induce him to
part with them.
John Sutton, a highly respected
resident of Ikeler town, near Still
water, died after an extended ill
ness, at the home of Wm. Stoker,
Friday morning. He has lived in
Fishingcreek township a long time,

Christian church at that place. He
was also a poet of considerable note,
some of his compositions being
very fine. The deceased was about
eighty-nine years of age. The
funeral, which was largely attended,
took place from the Christian
church, at Stillwater, on Sunday
morning at ten o'clock and inter
ment in the cemetery near the
church.
A Fleshy
Consumptive
Did you ever see one?
Did you ever hear of one ?
Most certainly not. Con
sumption is a disease that
invariably causes loss of
flesh.
If you are light in weight,
even if your cough is only
a slight one, you should
certainly take
Scott's Emus-ion
of cod liver oil iviih hypo
phosphites. No remedy
is such a perfect prevent
ive to consumption. Just
the moment your throat
begins to weaken and you
find you are losing flesh,
you should begin to take it.
And no other remedy
has cured so many cases
of consumption. Unless
you are far advanced with
this disease, Scott's Emul
sion will hold every in
ducement to you for a
perfect cure.
