Four Mormon elders, no doubt
the same fellows who have
been propogating their belief
in the upper end of Columbia
county, were noticed sauntering
about from one place to another
on the streets this morning. Judg
ing from their appearance they have
been subjected to some pretty rough
weather.
John Smiuk, aged 42, a miner
employed atSilverton colliery, Potts
ville, was badly injured about the
back by being struck by a heavy
steel drill. He pluckily limped to
work on Monday and was again
struck on the back, this time by a
fall of coal. Tins accident resulted
in his death. He leaves his widow
and eight children.
Unequaled pluck was displayed
last week by 11 year old John
Doyle of Reading. The lad was
playing around the railroad when
he accidently fell directly under n
moving train and had his right arm
cut off below the shoulder. He
arose unassisted, picked up the sev
ered member and carrying it for
quite a distance.laid it away in what
he considered a place ot satety,
after which he walked to an office
where he patiently and uncomplain
ingly waited for an ambulance,
which had been sent for to take him
home.
After being tried and acquitted
on both occasions, Kli Shawjjyes
terday admitted to two reporters of
the Philadelphia Times that he had
killed both his grandmother and
mother, then continuing coldly and
emphatically said "and you can't
touch me." It is the law that "he
shall not be put in jeopardy of life
or limb twice for the same offense."
It is extremely difficult to predict
the outcome of the case. There
may yet be some point in law where
by Shaw will be made to suffer for
his double crime.

The Centennial Social Club of
Bloomsburg composed of same of
our bright, active young men will
hold a dance in Evans Hall, Tues
day evening next. A large num
ber of invitations have been issued
and a nice time is no doubt in store
for all who attend. Inspiration will
be furnished by a first class orches
tra. At the oratorical contest held in
the Methodist church, this town,
Saturday evening, the grand gold
medal was awarded to Miss May
Hartman, Bendertown. The attend
ance was large and the whole pro
gram was very interesting. Miss
Hartman will now try for the dia
mond medal, at the contest to
held in Philadelphia on October
10th.
A number of Mormon Elders are
propagating their nefarious doc
trines through this end of the
county, seeking converts. Two of
them held meetings here in the
town hall, two more were preach
ing their pernicious doctrines in the
Baptist church at Derr's. While
their audiences were small, yet we
are surprised that any one went to
hear them at all. Benton Argus.
The lecturer of the National
Grange, Alpha Messer, of Vermont,

The many friends of Rev. C. S
Long will read with pleasure the
announcement that he has been ap
pointed chaplain of the 12th Regi
ment. The appointment was made
to fill the vacancy which has ex
isted for some time past, on account
of the death of Rev. Daniel Rick,
which occurred during the early
part of the recent war. The new
appointee is well known in Colum
bia county.
The apple croo this year is very
large and the manufacture of the
fruit into cider, vinegar and apple
butter, is now being carried on by
the farmers hereabouts on an exten
sive scale. There are many presses
up the Fishingcreek valley, all of
them being run to their fullest ca
pacity. A resident of Benton was
in town on Monday, and he says
that on his way down he passed a
cider press, at which there was at
least eight teams loaded with ap
ples, waiting their turn to have
them converted into cider.
Rebecca, wife of Henry Jacobs,
died at her home on Water street,
Northumberland,Saturday evening,
after an illness of several months
duration. She was born and raised
in Danville, a daughter of the late
Andrew and Elizabeth Johnson, and
with the exception of a few years,
resided there all her life. Besides
her husband, she leaves six children
three 'sons and three daughters
to mourn the loss of a devoted wife
and mother. The funeral services
were held on Tuesday morning and
the remains taken to Danville and
interred in the Odd Fellows cem
etery. The deceased, was a sister-in-law
of Eckhart Jacobs, this
town. j.
The race for the pennant in the
National Base Ball League this seas
on is an exciting one. Brooklyn is
no doubt a winner, as the lead gain
ed by that team, while the other
rivals for the honor were playing an
indifferent article of ball, will be
hard to overcome. Philadelphia
should finish second, although in
our opinion it isnt bad judgement
to place even money ou Boston, not
withstanding the fact that the Quak
ers have a lead of four games over
the Beaneaters. The aggreation
that represents the city of brotherly
love have a habit of lingering in
its present position until about the
last two weeks of play and then
taking an inexcusable slump. It is
to be hoped that history will not re
peat itself this year.

How To
Gain Flesh
Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTT'S EMUL
SION. It is strange, but it often
happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound j it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop
erly, so that the patient is able
to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be
fore, and that is the way the gain
is made.
A certain amount of flesh is
