PIOIUREEQUE BLOOMSBURCr.
For several months past there
has been in course of preparation a
book which is intended to show the
beauties of our town, and which
will make a handsome souvenir of
Bloomsburg. It is printed on heavy
enameled paper, and contains sev
enty half-tone cuts of good size,
including pictures of the Court
House, Town Hall, High School,
Normal School, Water Works,
County Prison, Churches, Resi
dences, Factories, Street Views,
Market Sauare. Business Blocks,
views. It has been compiled and
prepared at considerable labor and
expense, believing mat tue uook
will be sufficiently appreciated so
that the publication will not prove
a financial loss, at least. Many
other towns have similar books, and
this work has been undertaken in
order that Bloomsburg may not be
behind other places.
The book is bound in two styles,
one being a stiff cover of silk cloth,
lettered in gold leaf, price $1.00.
The other is a card board cover,
handsomely printed in red and gilt,
stapled through the back so the
book will open flat, price 75c.
The book is for sale at Tub
Columbian office, and only a lim
ited number have been printed. An
early order will secuia a copy.

The first we know, Africa will
be taking rank as a wheat growing
contry. Last year the Dark Conti
nent turned out 44,000,000 bushels
of the cereal of the finest quality.
Australia produces only 35,000,000
bushels, but this small output is
accounted for by the fact that wool
growing is more profitable than
agriculture.

At this season of the year, when
the frost is coining out of the
eroutid. persons dwelling in the
1 towns have but a vague idea of the
wretched condition of some of the
country roads. From all rural dis
tricts come complaints regarding
the mud, and there is good reason
for them. Some country roads at
the best are very poor thorough
fares, freciuently being stretches of
laud absolutely valueless and calcu
lated to vex the souls of all that
oass that wav. whether in vehicles
4
or on foot.

W. D. Beckley was conveyed from
Scranton 1o his home here the
other evening on a special train over
the D. L. & W. Railroad, an honor
seldom, if ever, extended to a single
passenger. He was en route for home
from New York, and the train was
quite late. Fearing that they would
miss connections at Scranton, he
approached the conductor and re
quested him to have the train wait, as
he wanted to get home, and he
thoucht it would be a ereat accom
modation to many others on board.
The official telegraphed ahead and
informed Mr. Beckley that it would
be all right. When they reached
Scranton they found that the down
train had lelt. ,A special train was
made up and the passengers living at
points below Scranton were permitted
to get home. Mr. Beckley was the
only passenger on board after the
train left Nnnticoke. He arrived
home at midnight.

did the shooting in self defense
Schlief is 50 years o'd and is surviv
ed by five children, whose ages range
from 10 to 18 years, Miss Bella
Schlief is the eldest and it was partly
on her account that the shooting oc
curred. She was a frequent visitor to
the Wacner store acainst her father's
wishes.
While in a half intoxicated condi
tion the constable visited the store
vesterdav afternoon, in search of his
daughter, but did not find her. Schlie
flourished a revolver and threatened
to shoot Wagner and his son, but
they persuaded him to withdraw
Schlief reentered the place last night
Durell Wanner saw him coming and
escaped through a back door. Schlie
ran up to the son and pressed a re
volver against his head. Wagner
becged him not to shoot and at the
same time knocke 1 Schhefs arm up
ward. The weapon was discharged
and the bullet passed through Wag
ner's hand. The latter then drew
revolver and fired twice. Schlet died
instantly.
