benefit of the working men.
Robert Ilislop, of Parsons, who,
with several Wilkes-Barreans, went
to the Klondike region something
over a year ago, has returned
empty handed. He warns every
body who has any gold hunting in
clinations to stay away from Klon
dike. He lost all he possessed in
his desire to acquire more, and says
that he is only one of thousands
who have nothing to show for their
hardships and sufferings in the land
of boreal frosts.

IVnimvlvania naid $25,000 last
year for the slaughter of cattle af
flicted with tuberculosis. it was
money well spent. Scores of valu
able human lives were doubtless

A city exchange reports that but
termilk is now being served as a
drink at saloon bars, restaurants
and hotel dining rooms, and that
the demand for it is rapidly increas-
ing. it js a cooling, reiresning ana
wholesome drink, and its popularity
has increased the price in three or
four years from nothing to ten and
fifteen cents a gallon, wholesale.
Butter makers might do well to
cultivate this trade.
During this season when violent
thunder storms occur it is wise to
take precautions for saving life.
Lightning flashes frequently strike
down persons who invite such fatal
ities by being near open doors or
windows, or in currents of damp
air that carry the electric current
readily. It is. also unwise to take
shelter under trees, as has often
been proven. The exercise of or
dinary precaution during a thunder
storm will generally prevent fatali
ties by means of lightning.
Admiral Schley, in his address to
the graduating class of the Girls'
Normal School, in Philadelphia,
week before last, gave a new ver
sion of that old axiom, which says
"the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world." His translation
was that " it is the woman behind
the man behind the guns who al
ways wins the victory." The Ad
miral is desirous that the fair sex
shall be accorded their share of the
glory. That little speech has made
him a great favorite with the femi
nine gender.
Dr. Bierman made a trip to Pitts
burg on Thursday to accompany
Miss Mary Betts, daughter of the
late John Betts of Buckhorn, to her
old home. She had been visiting
in the western part of the state for
some time, and being in poor health
she desired to return home, but was
not able to come alone. She arrived
here on Friday and is now with
relatives near Buckhorn. Mrs.
Dr. Fruit, her sister, accompanied
Dr. Bierman. The latter went at
the request of Miss Betts' relatives,
as her condition was considered
quite serious.
Eugene Moss of near Nuremberg
met with a distressing accident Sat
urday evening, which resulted in
the loss of one of his eyes. He was
chopping wood in his back yard,
when his wife called him to supper.
When he threw down the axe to
answer Ins wile s summons to sup
per, a chip flew up, striking him in
the eye displacing one of the eye
balls. The injury was of such a
nature that he was taken to Phila
delphia on Monday where an opera
tion was performed and the eyeball
removed. Mr. Moss has many re
latives in the upper end of Colum-
bia county.

A meeting of the directors of the
Montour and Columbia Telephone
was held at Sunbury last week.
It was decided, and arrangements
were made to construct the line this
fall, without, fail. The line will
connect Danville, Riverside, Cata
wissa, Bloomsburg and Berwick,
and will also connect with the Sha
mokin Vallev, Williamsport, Lack
awanna and Schuylkill lines. A
number of men have been in town
all week canvassing for subscribers
and we learn from one of their num
ber that they are meeting with con
siderable success.
When you send, a paper to a
newspaper man always mark what
you want him to see. Not knowing
from where the paper comes, it is
seldom possible to find out just
what you are expected to see unless
the paragraph is marked. News
paper men very seldom read a paper
through. They have a knack of
skimming through the column of
an exchange and finding items of
interest concerning their section,
but see little else. We frequently
get papers at this office in hand di
rected wrappers, showing that they
have been sent by some friend, and
evidently for a purpose, but not
knowing who the friend is, and in
the absence of marks, the paper
goes where all the others go into
the waste basket.

While out hunting in the inoun
tains in the upper end of Sugarloaf
township, last Wednesday afternoon
Walter Ilir.euian, of Jamison City,
tripped and fell over a log, and ac
cidentally discharged the gun which
he was carrying. lhe contents
took effect in his arm, mutilating
the member to such an extent, that
it was at first feared that amputation
would be necessary. Dr. B. F.
Gardner, ot this town was immedi
ately telegraphed for. He went up
on the evening train and after care
fully examining and dressing the
wound, decided that amputation
would not be necessary. Bears had
been seen in that vicinity a few
days previous to the accident, and a
desire to capture one of the wild
quadrupeds, is what took Mr. Hirle
man out in the woods. From latest
reports he is getting along very
