Yost, of Bendertown, lost his life while cleaning a deep well for Rush Beishline, in FishinRcreek township, Tuesday morning'. The supposition is that he was over:ome with the pent-up foul air and sank into the water. The tramp nuisance is to be abolished at Stroudsburg in a most novel way. The ball and chain purchased by council is to be abol ished. Hereafter a promise from a tramp that he will take a bath is all that is required. Miss Julia Radle, of Herndon, was admitted to the Northumber land County bar last week. She read law with her brother, P. E. Radle, of Shamokin. She is the first regularly admitted woman to the bar of that County. The Canada thistles are bothering the farmers in many places. Some of the farmers have removed the destructive plant, but other farmers neglect to pay any attention to them. This neglect is very annoy ing to the farmer who removes them from his land, as it is also a violation of law. The shirt waist man has been re placed by the straw hat horse, though the number of the latter is limited. The style of the hat is a wide brimmed affair, with apper tures, through which the horse's ears penetrate. The animals appear to like the idea. It is a great pro tection from the heat.

A little four-page pper, entitled Our Church Visitor, makes its ap pearance this month. It is issued bi-monthly in the interest of the First M.

Three pages are de voted to reading matter and the fourth page is filled with advertis ing matter, which helps to defray the expense of publication. Mrs. M. M. Hicks passed away at her home in Light Street, Thurs day evening of last week. The de ceased was about seventy years of age, and is survived by a husband and five children, namely, B. B. Hicks of Scranton, S. II. Hicks of Plymouth, Mrs. S. W. Kelchner of Benton and Mrs. C. H. Kline and Mrs. B. F. Hicks of Bloomsburg. The funeral was held from her late residence Sunday morning. The remains were taken to Berwick for interment. The atmosphere experience of last week was sufficient to convince the average human being that of all the summer discomforts excessive hu midity is the worst. Under such heated conditions it is difficult to enjoy even driving, and any attempt at enjoyment in the way of games leaves the participant in a wilted state. A person ought almost to apologize for making any remarks on the hackneyed subject of the weather. We believe, however, that the weather has been the fore most topic of conversation, hence our disquisition upon it. The editor of the Muscotah (Kan.) Record makes the following person al announcement: "For the first time we were married on Wednes day. We have contemplated this step for a long time, but lack of funds always prevented, until we finally decided to get married and trust to providence for the rest. The subscription rates of the Record will remain at the same price. Only the immediate relatives were present at the ceremony. Our views on the money question will remain the same, only we need more of it. Will go to housekeeping in the Asquith home, in Second street." An advertisement in a local pa per, not long since, which was very generous in extent, read : "Person to wash and one to sew. Payment in music lessons, Light street." It seems to us that there ought to be a little extra or "boot" in this transaction. That the washboard is greater than the piano, and that the sewing machine is greater than the washboard are modern proverbs. Of course.if a laundress wants to get herself up in Wagner.or if a sewing girl wants to cultivate her voice so that she may rise like another Lil lian Russel, there is nothing to be said. But on the face of it, the person that secures free washing aud sewing in return for music les sons has the best of the bargain. St- Paul's Year Bcok.

A source of great anxiety to his family and to his friends in general is the whereabouts of Albert Metzeer, He has been missing since Saturday evening, June 29th. On the morning ol that day, he and his wife left their home in this town, to go to Bender town, where they had at one time re sided, for the purpose of making some collections from people who owed him lor labor. Mrs. Metzger left there in the afternoon with the understanding that her husband was to follow in the evening. He arrived at Forks in the evening, a short time after the train had left for Bloomsburg. This was the last train, and there was nothing for him to do, but walk, if he wished to reach home that night. He did not start for some time, however, as he was seen by a number of people at a church festival which was being held in Laubach's Grove, a short distance below the Forks staiion. He talked with friends, but some of them say that he appeared rather melancholy. He was offered a ride part way home, but declined, saying "he needed the exercise." This was about half past eleven o'clock, and was the last seen of him. Mr. Metzger is known to have had considerable money on his person, which fact tends to deepen the im pression that he has been foully dealt with. Horton Laubach, a young man who has for some time past been making his home with the Metzger family went up to Forks Tuesday morning in the hope of getting some trace of the missing man, but returned in the even ing without having learned anything in regard to his whereabouts. Some people are inclined to the be lief that he has committed suicide, but those who are more intimately ac quainted with him, place little cred ence in this theory, because he was without trouble of any kind, and was right well to do. The Royal Arcanum of this town, of which Mr. Metzger is a member will send a committee of four up the creek today to aid in the search for him. A notable nuptial event was the wedding of William Lowenberg to Miss Julia Kaufman, which took place at the home of the bride's sister Mrs. Samuel Dreifus, at Milton Tuesday morning. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Adolph Myers of Danville. Only immediate relatives were present. The groom is one of Bloomsburg's leading young business men. They are now on a wedding tour and upon return will take up their residence with the groom's mother in this town. Free delivery of mail is now in force at Fountain Springs and Aristes. The mail for the former place is taken out of the Ashland post office by carrier, and the Aristes carrier gets his mail at Centralia. STUllKD5 mm Does your hair split at the end?

A SUNDAY EVENING WEDDING- "For better or for worse" are the sacred words repeated after the offici ating clergyman, Rev. W. M. Fry singer, by Frank ri. Evans, and Miss Cora Myers, who were the principals in a unique wedding, which took place in the Methodist Church Sunday eve ning. Pursuant to a previous arrange ment the couple appeared at the church at the close of the evening service ready to assume the bonds of marriage. They presented themselves at the altar in the presence of a large audience. The spacious interior was filled, even the aisles were occupied, and it was once proposed that the gallery be called into requisition. This match introduces to Bloomsburg quite an innovation in the way of weddings, and so happy has been the result that it is not bad judgment to predict that the custom will be kept up. The groom was a former lieutenant in the local branch of the Salvation Army. He left the ranks for a position in the Carpet Mill,where he hoped to, and judging from the past events he has succeeded. in accumulating enough of this world's goods to warrant the step that he has just taken. Lutheran Church Services- On Sabbath July 14th Rev. J. A. Singmaster D. D., Prof, in the Theo. Seminary at Gettysburg, Pa., will preach in the Lutheran chuich. morn ing and evening. The members of the 'congregation are asked to be present and all others are cordially in vited. Strangers welcome. The pastor will be present. M. . McLinn, pastor. Should be Looked After. Residents of St xkshinny are circu lating a petition to have sufficient water let into the canal to make it a running steam. The water is stag nant and unhealthy, and is causing disease among people residing in close proximity. Several cases of marlaria fever in Bloomsburg are at tributed to it. At one point, near the Catharine street bridge, the stagnant water is an ugly, greenish color, and jhe stench emitted is enough to knock a person down. It is high time that the local board ot health takes some action in the matter. Thia signature is on every box ol the genuine.
