A special from St. Louis, on Fri
day evening brought the news of
the death of Michael J. Reilly,
known as the "Bowery Evangelist"
from alcholism. About a year ago
he conducted meetings in Blooms
burg, and will be well remembered
by all who heard him. ,
Vincent R. Shultz an old and re
spected resident of Hemlock town
ship this county, died at his home
in that place late Saturday afternoon
aged about eighty-one years. Fun
eral services were held Tuesday
morning and interment at New
.Columbia Cemetery.
We learn from a Wilkesbarre
paper that Frank Aurand, formerly
of this town, now residing at Lewis
burg, and Miss Margaret Williams
of Plymouth were quietly married
at Scranton on Monday of last week.
Mr. Aurand's many friends in town
extend congratulations.
A few evenings ago a gray team
hitched to a heavy farm wagon, was
found walking leisurely down Centre
street without any driver. Albert
Rawlings stopped them and tied
them at Keefer's Meat Market
until the owner found them. Don't
leave your horses untied on the
street.
Daniel McIIenry of Stillwater,
has awarded to T. H. Edgar of the
same place the contract to build two
large barns on his two farms a short
distance below Stillwater. Mr. Mc
Henry's farms are among the finest
in the Fishingcreek valley, the land
is as level as a floor, and very pro
ductive. Mr. E. Newton Wigfall of Phila
delphia, and Miss Henrietta Hughes
Jones, of Reading, were married at
the bride's home on Monday even
ing, Rev. Dr. W. P. Orrick per
forming the ceremony. They will
reside in Raritan, N. j. The bride
groom is a brother of Samuel Wig
fall of this town.
A large audience at the Opera
House witnessed Lyman H. Howe's
Warograph pictures, on Friday
evening. It is the best thing of the
kind ever shown here, and we
have not seen its equal even in the
larger cities. The entertainment
was repeated on Wednesday even
ing in the Normal Auditorium.
The first of a series of progressive
euchre parties between the Bicyde
Clubs of this city and Danville was
played at the latter place last even
ing, and resulted in a victory for
Bloomsburg, our boys winning 66
out of 120 games. They would
probably have made a better show
ing still had W. II. Eyer, not miss
ed the train. (?)
A Steiuway piano has been pur
chased by the Lutheran Sunday
school- It will be opened for use
Thursday Apr. 13, at which time a
musical will be given. A very in
teresting progtam is being prepared
which will be published later. An
offering (strictly silver) will be
token at the door. Proceeds for
piano fund. The public are cordially
invited.
The Sunday afternoon services in
the Methodist Mission were very
interesting and largely attended, the
program being especially adapted
for the easter season. Rev. B. C.
Conner made a short address, Miss
Natalie Foulk sang "The Choir
Boy." with a good voice, and the
other musical numbers were also
nicely rendered. The attendance at
the services during all of the winter
months has been very good, and the
Sunday school membership is con
stantly increasing. William H.
Slate is the superintendent.

A walk through Oak Grove shows
that one time beautiful and popular
spot to be in a run down condition.
The last four seasons have marked
its decadence. The wind storm of
two years ago is probably respon
sible for a great deal of its torn up
appearance, but the work of the des
tructive boys is also very much in
evidence. Boards have been torn
off of the sheds, seats broken down,'
and many other acts which tend to
lessen the beauty of the place have
been committed.
;
UP TflU OEEEK-
We are glad to note that at pres
ent writing Wm. Unangst is im
proving, although he is not out ol
danger as yet, and he may have a
relapse at any time. Should he get
one of his unconscious spells it will
be exceedingly doubtful that he
would recover. The members of
the Grand Army have attended him
and watched over him nights, which
has been a great relief to his worn
out family. The meaibers of the
Orangeville Post, to which he be
longs, also his neighbors, have paid
him due regard. In our next re
port we hope to say that he is so
far convalescent as to be able to
walk about with some of his old
life and energy.
Our fishermen are awaiting eager
ly for the 15th of April to catch the
" speckled beauties."
This has been a favorable season
for maple sugar, and the sap has
not quit ruuning as yet.
Benton expects to have a big time
on the Fourth of July, under the
auspices of the Sons of Veterans.
Utt, of Rhorsburg Hotel, has
postponed his opening 'till travel
becomes better.
Mrs. Bert Freas, of Scranton,
Miss Carrie Unangst, of Wyoming,
and Mrs. Leisenring, of Nanticoke,
have been visiting Wm. Unangst,
the father of the former two, during
the past week.
The Easter exercises on Sunday
evening, at Asbury, were very en
tertaining. The weather has interfered with
the progress of the John G. Mc
Henry distillery, at Benton, but as
soon as the weather permits, it will
be pushed on with vigor. The
spring and summer months will find
all the buildings completed and the
business in full operation.
Byron Freas, son of Peter Freas,
is out as a candidate for Register
and Recorder. We are confident
that he would make a good officer.
A. N. Yost is another candidate,
and should he meet with success,
there is no doubt he will give satis
faction. "Winter is lingering in the lap
of spring. " The old " bald head ' '
should be kicked off without any
further hesitation. The snow flakes
on Sunday last flew so thick you
couldn't get your breath.
E. J. Bowman made a recent
visit to Berwick, and the reports
about the further prospects of busi
ness connected with the Jackson &
Woodiu works, were very encour
aging. He got the information di
rect that the change into a " trust "
will insure plenty of work and
steady business iu the future.
Plenty of work is the poor man's
friend, and it is the only hope and
help he has got. No country pros-1
pers without it. We hope the same !
for Bloomsburg, and that her pub
lic 'enterprises will take on new life
this spring and continue right
along.
Strong talk of a steel plant in
Berwick in the uear future, and the
facilities for trade will be more ex
tensive in the shape of a trolley
line from Scranton to Northumber
land. Hardy Edgar, proprietor of the
planing mill, this side of Stillwater,
has erected a large addition to his
mill a chopping mill. This will
please the surrounding farmers.
Panay and Iloilo.
Just at present the American people
will be intsrestert in the intoimaiion
concerning the city of Iloilo and the
island of Panay, upon which it is sit
uated, and of which it is the capital,
Panay, according to some authorities,
is the third largest of the Philippines,
being exceeded in area only by the
great island of Luzon to the north and
the second largest island of Mindanao
to the south. Between these two great
islands lie a group of smaller ones
known as the Visayas. beveral of
these are of considerable size,including
Negros, Cebu, Samar, Leyte and Mm
doro, some of them by some authorit
ies being credited with being slightly
larger than Panay. The island of
Palawan, which lies west of the Vis
ayas, is also about as large as Panay.
But the latter, however its precedence
in the matter of size may be disputed
over those named as its competitors,
exceeds them all and also Mindanao
in population, ranking after Luzon in
this respect. Panay, according to some
authorities, contains 4,540 square
miles. Its population is estimated at
from 000.000 to 1,000.000. Iloilo is
next to Manila, the principal sea port
of the Philippines, and its reduction
and that of the island of Panay to
American control, coupled with the
occupation of Luzon, must be follow
ed by the surrender of the whole ot
the islands to the authority of the
United States.
Panay is triangular in form. Its
northern coast is about 75 miles long,
the western one about 100 miles, and
the third side of the island, the south
eastern, about 125 milas in length.
Iloilo is situated along the last men
tioned coast near its center. The is
land is divided into three provinces
Antique, which lies along the west
coast; Capiz, in the north, ard Iloilo
in the southeast. In general the is
land is wild with very high coasts, ex
cept in the northeastern part, where
the coasts are somewhat marshy. A
mountain chain crosses the island,
from Point Juaraojurao on the south,
as far as Point Potol on the north,
following a direction almost parallel
with the west coast. Large groups of
sierras branch out to the right and left
of the central chain; on the eastern
slope begins another chain run
ning notheast to the extreme north
easterly point of the island. Owing
to its cragginess the island has a great
number of streams running in differ
ent directions, the valleys of which are
very fertile. The mountains are also
covered with luxuriant vegetation.
There are gold and copper mines and
much tobacco, sugar, rice and abaca is
raised. There is good pastureage for
cattle and horses, and large herds are
raised. The largest population and
drincipal industries are in the province
of Iloilo, in which the operations of
the American troops are now being
conducted. In that province about
30,000 looms are employed manufac
turing fabrics of sinamay, pina, jusi,
etc.
As to the city of Iloilo itself, there
are very conflicting accounts concern
ing its population, the figures ranging
from 10,000 to 30,000. It is 335 miles
from Manila, on a low, sandy flat on
the right bank of a small river, which
is navigable to the city's wharves by
the vessels drawing not over 15 feet.
At the end of the flat on which the
city is situated is a spit on which there
is a fort, close to which there is deep
water. It is a town of great commer
cial importance and a brisk coasting
trade is carried on from it. The better
class of houses are built on strong
wooden posts, two or three feet in di
ameter, that reach to the roof ; stone
walls to the first floor, with wooden
windows above and an iron roof. The
poorer class of dwellings are flimsy
erections of nipa, built on four strong
posts. It is these latter houses which
are reported destroyed by the insur
gents, and they can doubtless be easily
replaced, while their owners, because
of the mildness of the climate, will
probably suffer but slight discomfort.
The whole island of Panay is about
one-third larger than Porto Rico, and
its reduction to American authority is
not likely to prove a very serious task.
The possession of Iloilo give the
American forces a commanding posi
tion in the whole Visayas group, and
they are likely to meet with little
trouble in securing the submission of
the other islands belonging to it. The
Filipino population in the great island
of Mindanao, to the south of the Vis
ayas, is small and scattered in towns
along the coast, where our naval ves
sels can enforce our anthority. The
bulk of the population of this island is
in the interior and of a savage or semi
civilizcd character.

quent desire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine
being copious or scant with strong

If allowed to advance, this reaches the
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water pass
age. increasing desire to urinate, with
scalding sensation in passing, small
quantities being passed with difficulty
sometimes, necessary to draw it with
nstruments. If uric arid or gravel has
formed, it will prove dangerous if ne
glected. The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
There is comfott in knowing that
Dr. Ki mer, the great kidney and blad
der specialist, has discovered a Remedy
famous for its marvelous cures of the
most distressing cases and known as
