The High School Foot Ball Team stacked up against the real article at Hazleton, Saturday afternoon, and were defeated to the tune of 24 to o. The aggregate weight of the Hazleton players is said to be far in excess of that of the locals. As weight counts a great deal in a foot ball contest the score is not to be wondered at. . .

The business to be trans acted is of an exigent nature, of interest to everyone who belongs to the organization, and it is hoped that a special effort will be made to be on hand promptly at eight o'clock. Handsome Harry was on hand at the fair with a skin game which he worked outside of the grounds. He also worked a number of people for their cash, one of them to the extent of forty dollars, the victim being a Bloomsburg man who ought to know better. There was talk of arresting Harry, but in some way he got word in time to warn him, and skipped. . . .Sunday's rain was indeed a most welcome visitor. The conditions up in the larming districts, occa sioned by the prolonged drought, were of such a nature as to cause much anxiety. Not only the land was in need of rain, but farmers were obliged to haul water a long distance to. supply their stock.

The number of stands and side shows on the fair ground this year was larger than evfcr before. The venders in general were sending up a howl all day Thursday, because of poor patronage. Several of them paid out more money for ground rent than they took in. v "The 'Farm Journal' is all sun shine," writes J. II. Hale, the great Connecticut fruit man, and the Columbian thinks so, too.

The drama, "Hearts of Men," was rendered by a local talent cast, consisting of members ot the Wi nona Fire Company, assisted by a few others, in the Opera House, Tuesday evening, October yth. It was given tinder the auspices of and for the benefit of the above men tioned fire company. The boys expended a great deal of labor to thoroughly advertise the event, and worked hard rehearsing, in order to give a creditable performance, thinking, of course, that they would be rewarded by a big audi ence. In this they were disap pointed. The total receipts were about $127.00. From this must be deducted 40 per cent, for the use of the Opera House, and other ex penses, aggregating, all told, about $100.00. The company expected to clear enough to purchase tini forms, but with such patronage it will be some time before the object will be accomplished. .... Royal Arcanum address cards can be obtained at this office. tf The hordes of professional swin dlers who bob up in town every year at fair time, was larger last w;ek than ever before. It is report ed that their efforts to entrap the unwary were quite successful. It is very strange how some people, though familiar with the tactics and schemes of men who live by beating others, will allow themselves to be caught. One of our residents, who saw what he thought a chance to win on a game, which was carried on near tne lair ground, invested $22, and came away broke. Another followed suit to the extent of $16. But even this did not dis courage another man who had made up his mind to plunge. He walked up to the stand took out his roll of $24 and played until every red had vanished. He was obliged to go home and secure enough monev to pay his way in the fair ground. We venture the assertion that there are at least three Blooms burgers who will not wait for the first of January to make good reso Unions. BURGLAR SSOT. Broke Opon a Sale at Benton, and Was Killed the Next Night at Cambra. Last Monday night the store of-J 1. niainer at lo., ai jjenton, was broken into, the safe blown open, and the thiet got thirty -five dollars and gold watch, belonging to Mrs. Mather, who is a daughter of Sheriff W. V, Black. There was no clue to the robber. On Tuesday night an at tempt was made to break into Haz lett's store, at Cambra, but unfortu nately for the burglar, a night watch man was on guard, in the person of son of the late Wellington C. Hughes, and he shot the burglar, killing him instantly. We have not been able to learn any of the details, but it was undoubtedly the same man who robed Mather's store, for Mrs. Math er's watch was found on his person He was a stranger, and was probably a professional cracksman from the city taking a tour in the country. He called once too often. If you waut a first-class hair-cut or shave, go to RciUy's, Hotel E:i r 'URELY PERSONAL Hon. Uolwrt R. Little went to Wi'.kes Hnrre this morning. E. 11.

After arriving in town, he drove to the residence of his brother H. W. Watts, on West Street. He was in the house only a few minutes, but, long enough to give the thief an opportunity to untie the animal and drive away unnoticed. A search was made about town but no trace of the stolen property could be found. On Saturday Mr. Watts succeeded in his search. The horse and buggy were fouud a few miles beyond Catawissa. A buffalo robe, blanket and a lady's cape were in the carriage just as he had left ttieni. The only articles missing were two pair ot gloves. We live by our blood, and on it. We thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. tin ' wnen strength is lull and spirits hisjh, we are being re freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con tinual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we arc starved ; our blood is poor; there is little nutri ment in it.
