THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Tbe Kitter Murder.
On the afternoon of September 6th,
1897, Amos Rittcr, aged seventy years
a well to-do farmer of Delaware town
ship, visited Watsontown and exhib
ited a large sum of money. At night
fall he started home afoot, early the
next morning he was found murdered
ia a field near his home, and the
money gone. The prepetrator of the
crime is still at large and the mystery
remains unsolved to this day. Since
the arrest and conviction of William
Hummel for the murder of his wife
and children, it has been charged
that he was the murderer of old man
Ritter. It will also be recollected
that Ri'ter's body was found lying in
a field, some distance away from the
house, and this is rather a singular
coincidence with the Hummel tragedy.
It is known that Hummel was in the
vicinity ot the old blacksmith's home
the night he was killed and also that
the rag peddlar lelt the house at which
he was staying early in the evening
and did not return until midnight.
When asked where he had been,
Hummel is alleged to have replied,
"Oh I was just out calling."
Hummel on his part denies strenu
ously that he killed Ritter. He has
been questioned about it several times
and invariably says he knows not.iing
whatever about it. He de
clares he was not near the scene of
the murder at the time it was com
mitted and asserts that he would own
up like a man if he did it, because he
don't want to leave this world with a
lie on his lips.
"I can only die once," he says, "so
what need I be afraid of? If I did it
I would say so, but I didn't.
Timely Suggestion,
It is timely, in view ot the approach
of Arbor day, to call attention to an
old act of assembly which provides
"that any person liable to road tax
who shall transplant along a public
highway, on his own premises, any
fruit, shade or forest trees, of suitable
size, shall be allowed by the super
visor wnose roads run through or ad
joining cultivated fields, in abatement
of his road tax, $1.00 for every four
trees set out." The abatement, how
ever, is limited to one fourth ot such
person's road tax each year. Here
is an incentive for the observation of
Arbor day In the country.
A Perfect Oathaatio
Is one which does not wrench the
system, or leave it weak and ex
hausted. A perfect cathartic is found
in HooJ's Pills. They are praised
everywhere, and after once being tried
rthey soon permanently take the place
of the old fashioned drastic pills, such
ts "our grandfathers used." Hood's
Pills are the only pills to take with
Hood's Sarsaparilla and they greatly
aid that medicine in its cleansing and
purifying work.
Will Test the Bicycle Law.
Wheelmen are interested greatly in
the proceedings that have been begun
in court at Norristown to test the
power of the bicycle side path com
missioners to levy a tax on bicycles
and idcidentally to determine the
constitutionality of the act of assemb
ly under which they were appointed.
The outcome of the proceedings will
be looked for with much interest by
the wheelmen of the state.

Opinion From Varlou Koarrra
Qnrallona of the liny.
If Mr. Quay In seated In the United
Elates senate t'.io next lerlslHture will
not elect a sen-itor. Mr. Qnny will not
hr.ve enough votes In dint body to
elect but ho Tiny hive enough
without ppendlng severnl hundred
thousantl dollars to prevent the elec
tion of any one else, and at the end of
the. session Governor Rt.one can ap
point him ngnln. And that Is exactly
what Is now in contemplation. Phila
delphia Press.
They tell us the tarifT docs not pro
tect trust! Take two Instances that
are familiar In this section. The borax
trust Is Belling its product to Ameri
cana at seven and one-fourth cents a
pound, and to Kuropeans at three and
one-half cents. It Is enabled to do this
by a tariff of five cents a pound. Tho
steel and wire trust is selling barb
wire to Americans who have kindly
provided It with a protective tariff for
this purpose, nt $4.13 a hundred pounds,
to Canadians at $3.25 and to Europeans
at $2.20. Clinton Democrat.
Itetween 2,000,niio and 3,000,000 vot
ers will oppose the administration and
support antl-lmpcrlallKts. We will In
all probability hold a convention after
the, regular convention, and we
will select a standard bearer and a
platform, probably in tho way of in
dorslnR nn alrendy nominated candi
date. The Puerto Rlcan tariff has had
the effect of cutting tho Republican
party In two. McKlnley himself does
not know what Imperialism is. He Is
like Hamlet, who, trying to make
Polonlus believe he Is crazy, guzes at
tbe moon, and says, "It is a ship," and
npnln, "It In a rnt." ICrvIng Winslow.
Secretary Anti-imperialistic League.
"President McKlnley has committed
the first almost irrepnrablo mistake of
his administration," and "a mistake
big with the possibilities of serious dis
aster for his party in this year's elec
tions. It may not Jeopardize his own
nomination," Mr. nohlsunt goes on,
but It "puts a whip In the hands of
every Democratic speaker with which
to scourge Republican congressmen
wherever they appear for re-election.
If congress and the president persist in
their present course nothing can save
the Republican pnrty from defeat next
November. It will surely cost them
the house of representatives and it
may cost them the presidency." Chi
cago Times-Herald, Rep.
The ratification of the treaty of
peace with Spain brought Puerto Rico
and the Philippines under tho consti
tution, according to the precedents es
tablished by decisions of the supreme
court, and it Is impossible to ignore
the situation thus created. Puerto
Rico should be constituted at once as
a territory of the United States. And
holding the comfort, happiness and
prosperity of Puerto Rico In our hands
and possibly the lives of the people,
no prejudiced notions of "protection"
should lend America Into an unjust
course toward a defenseless people
Whatever may be done in the case of
the Philippines our duty to Puerto
Rico is plain and unmistakable. Head
vllle Morning Star, Ind. Rep.
There la larger need than ever in our
nation's history for the old time reso
lute independence of character and po
Iitlcal Judgment which once character
ized the American farmer. Fifty years
ago the present corrupt party boss,
with his assessment of corporations
and control of legislation, would not
have stood for a moment before tho
courageous farm Judgment of the
country. Today this political mer
chant, who trades in the temple on the
political and material fortunes of his
fellows, has fastened, octapua like, on
the nation and exercises a most dan
gerous power In state and national
legislatures. The sentiment of the
farming class is no longer regarded by
the political boss with the wholesome
dread that ought to exist. This is
lurgely due to a serious decline among
farmers of Individual Independence,
of political thought and action, a sub
stitution of mere party for patriotic
standards of Judgment. Hon. William
D. Hoard, President of the National
Farmers' Congress.
The Puerto Rico bill is the first leg
islative translation of expansion into
a language undcrstanded of tbe peo
pie. They see now what all the
rhetoric means. Expansion promised
glory, and it produces brutality. It is
asked for bread and it gives a stone.
Under the cruel whip of the organiza
tion which controls the organization
the party of moral ideas has been
driven against the moral sense of the
country, has given its opponents heart
and hope, and enters upon the presi
dential campaign divided and dis
credited. President McKlnley's attl
tude in this whole matter is to be dis
cussed on higher than personal
grounds. The poor figure he cuts as
a man we pass by, but as the Incum
bent of a great offlee ho has brought
humiliation upon it as well as upon
himself. To "stand by" him is impos
sible for his most earnest supporters
Binee he does not stand by himself. No
man can servo two masters, nor a sin
gle master with two minds, neither of
which ho himself knows. "I had
hoped," sneered a Democrat In the
house yesterday, "that there was one
question of jfhich the president was
not on both sides." There was no an
swer to the taunt, for there could be
none. What a pity that Mr. McKlnley
forgot that a handful of tobacco grow
ers and stigiir producers had no right
to usurp the office of president of the
United States. New York Evening
Post.
A Kansas City (Mo.) negro was a few
days ago sentenced to 40 years in the
penitentiary for pocket book snatching.
Trusts and monopolies of nil kinds
are grabbing property by the million,
but instead of their members going to
the penitentiary they go to congress
and the White House and Induce the
legislative und exocutlve branches of
the government to violate the plain
mundutes of tho constitution by impos
ing a tariff duty ugalnst the products
of our own country. They will next
try their persuasive powers on the su
preme court. Will it surrender to tbe
demands of the tobacco and sugar
trusts and violate the constitution by
declaring a Puerto Rlcan tariff valid 7

Important feature of the Nicaragua
canal question. No lrnB than 20 Impor
tant craters have bten counted in the
mountains of Central America, 13 of
which are known to have been in erup

since 1830. The Inst noteworthy dis

crater is on the Island of Ometepe and
Is situated ubc.ut ten miles from the
channel of the proposed canal through
Lake Nicaragua. On tbe came island
is Madera ' miles from the channel
which lias been in eruption in this
century.
The eruption of CoKifnina, 155 miles
from r.rito, the western port of the
canal, which occurred in 1S35, was a
terrific explosion. Itowlderw were
thrown great jstaneea and nsbes were

Tli r r Han Over Hep Hod In a Happy
Manner All Mht In Central
A f rlen.
At Kawimbe the rnts In the house
were terrible at niglit, nays "A White
Woman in Central Africa." They
raced about my room and scampered
over my bed In a thoroughly happy
manner. 1 could not sleep at first;
but at last I got used to them. I
dropped off, only to wake up and find
a rut with his foot In my ear.
One nigtit nt another station, some
thing larger than a rat dropped from
the rafters on my bed and awoke me.
I lighted a caudle and saw it was
a lemur. They are lovely little ani
mals, nnd are covered with thick fur,
like chinchilla, nnd have beautiful
lurpe round) eyes.
Jt looked most fascinating-, but, not
being- sure what it would do next, I
thought I would try to send it out
1 opened the door which led onto the
veranda, nnd proceeded gently to
drive it out; but, alas! it objected to
going1, and sprang straight on to my
shoulder, gripping my arm with its
sharp little teeth, and refusing- to let
go till I well pinebcdi its tail. As It
turned round to bite mv hnndi I
tossed it out onto the veranda and
shut the door.
FINDS A WORLD OF EVES.
Plana of a Connecticut Man to K-
tnbllnh Ciarden of Ktlen Attract
Many Women.
Evans Weed, of Newfield, Conn.,
who plans to transform his farm into
a Garden of Eden, has sprung- into
popularity in a day with many mem
bers of the fair sex who want to wed.
Mr. Weed was a little fearful that aft
er his Garden of Eden had been com'
pleted there wotild be no Eve to grace
it, but his doubts are now at rest
upon the point. He never dreamed
that Eve was- such a common name
among- women, but every mail brings
further evidence.
Letters addressed to Mr. Weed in
feminine handwriting have been pouring-
into the post office at Stanford in
every mail for tbe last few days. One
letter wns addressed: "Mr. Adam
Weed, formerly Evans Weed, Garden
of Eden, Stanford, Conn."
Another wns addressed "To Adam,
Garden of Eden, from Eve." This let
ter was dated- Van Clure Station, Va.
Mr. Weed is thinking seriously of
altering his original determination of
waiting till the Garden of Eden Is an
accomplished thing before contract
ing for an Eve.
