P II II II !( II WVT AlvJIJ AlVAlVrtlV An Opportunity That All Patrlotlo Clt liens Should Improve What the Election of Yerket and Coray Will Mean. IlarrlnburR, Oct. 24. The following address has boon Issued by Chairman CronB.v, f the Democratic state com tnlttre: "Txj t ho voters of Pennsylvania: An extraordinary rhapter In the his tory of Pennsylvania politics has Just been recorded, one which should ar rest tho thoughtful attention of every citizen and arouse hi in to a sense of his bounden duty toward the common wealth. In the conllict which has been waged with the persistent foes of honest government all efforts to protect the ballot box from pollution have been either openly and bitterly opposed, or sinister attempts made to nullify the fruits of Intelligent and earnest work for ballot reform. At every step, obstacles have been put In tho way of the free and Independ ent exercise of the right suffrage. Neeedless and vexatious requirements have been Insisted upon, with the sole object of preventing the success at tho polls of those non-partisan move ments absolutely necessary at times to overcome the combined power of evil forces In public life. THR TREASURY RING TERRIFIED. Face to fnce at last with the swell ing tide of patriotic revolt against In tolerable conditions, It was determined to break down, if possible, this In spiring union of honest citizenship through an eleventh hour appeal to the courts. This action was not based .upon even a fragment of Justice for any alleged trespass upon personal rights could have been fully considered at any other time but. the barest technicality of procedure. The pur pose was so plain that none could be deceived and as unjustifiable as It was significant. It was hoped to prevent a half million Democratic voters from having the opportunity to strike a di rect and effective blow at the blighting and doomed cause of Quaylsm. Such a transparent scheme of unprlnclpaled and desperate polltloal leaders clearly shows the fear which posseses them. The possibility and growing certainty that a trustworthy representative of the people will be commissioned to take charge of the state treasury fills the ring with alarm. This one fact should serve as an unerring finger board showing the honest voters of Pennsylvania their duty in this crisis. Never before has such a plan to defeat the manifest public will been resorted to. Never before have baffled political conspirators dared to snatch the ballot of his choice from the citizen's hands. Never before have political highway men thus attempted to hold up the patriotic freemen of our great state. EARNEST WORK ALL ALONG THE LINE. Happily, this despicable device to save an imperiled machl.T' has utterly falledv The utmost demands of party rer.t ana necve been 'Bwlftly and com plete' lenVmpHed with. The reform banruf is still aloft, bearing the hon ored names that every honest Demo crat In Pennsylvania, and every honest Republican as well, should be proud to endorse at the polls. We, there fore, In the name of a Democracy that means the very highest form of polit ical purity and personal and official Integrity, appeal to you to gird on the armor for an immediately and tri umphant assault upon the citadel of Quaylsm. Let the remaining days of the campaign be zealously devoted to bringing every voter Into line for Yerkes and Coray. The signs of vic tory are most encouraging on every hand. An earnest union of good citi zenship In every county, In every city and town and in every election dis trict, will surely mean the utter rout of the enemies of the people. WHAT A UNION REFORM VICTORY WILL MEAN. A vote for Yerkes means the uphold ing of the highest standard of Judicial ability and Integrity; the protection of the court of last resort from the contamination of evil Influences. Every citizen Is vitally Interested In the maintenance of the purity of the tri bunals of Justice. A vote for Coray means an effective protest against the prostitution of public oltice to base solfllsh purposes. The state treasury has been the financial fortress within which a conscienceless and corrupt ring has been entrenched for nearly 40 years. To drive them out, open the books and enforce honest administra tion, is the supreme duty of voters this year. The chance to do this has never been so favorable. Now is the time for a union of the patriotic clti Eeuship of our long enthralled com monwealth which will lead to Its speedy release from the iniquities of machine bondage. WILLIAM T.

MIGHT NOT BE SO PUHNY- There are some very funny people living up along the line of the trolley road. Not long ago they fixed up a dummy and laid it on the track, and thought it was a good joke when a car ran over it and nearly frightened a motorman out oi his wits. On Satur day evening they tried to be funny again, and laid a piece of hemlock scantling across the track. Several cars ran over it, but fortunately no accident occurred. This sort of sense: less sport ought to cease, and we are informed that the company is on the lookout for these funny people, and if they are detected they will have to abide the consequences. It may not be generally known that the law pro vides for punishment in such cases. The act of i860, Pamphlet Laws, page 3S2, section 14a reads as follows: Malicious mischief to railroads: If any person shall wilfully and mali ciously put, place, cast or throw upon or across any railroad, any wood, stone or other matter or thing, or shall wil fully and maliciously take up, remove, or displace any rail, sleeper, or other matter or thing belonging to any rail road, or shall wilfully or maliciously turn, move or divert any switch or other machinery belonging to any rail road, or shall wilfully and maliciously make or show, hide or remove, any signal of light upon or near any rail road, or shall wilfully and maliciously do or cause to be done any other matter or thing, with intent, in any of the cases aforesaid, to obstruct, upset, overthrow, injure or destroy any ten der, carriage, car or truck used on such road, or to endanger the safety of any person traveling, or being upon such railroad, every such offender shall be guilty of felony, and, being thereof convicted, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of ten thousand dollais, and to undergo an imprisonment, by separate or solitary confinement not exceeding ten years. Ten years in the penitentiary for a little joke like this, wouldn't be so funny, would it? The engineer corps started this morning to survey a line for the trolley between Bloomsburg and Millville.

On Friday, Saturday and Monday evenings the operetta, "Th ; Man in the Moon" was presented at the Opera House, under the direction of Mr. J. G. Hoffman of New York. It was under the auspices of the Civic Club, and their share of the proceeds will go into the Public Library fund. The operetta is a combination of pretty airs from popular light operas, and the entertainment was acharmingone throughout. Mr. Hoffman is an affable gentleman who thoroughly under stands his business, and his drilling of so many people, including a large number of children in so short a time was wonderful. He is ably assisted by Miss Vandusen, pianist. The eoblins were one of the best features of the show, and all did their parts well. The Umbrella Dance by Clarissa Peacock and Marguerite Eshleman was very pretty, and very gracefully done by the little ladies. Misses Ora White, Claire Gross and Nellie Swep penhiser made a hit as the London Swells. The leading parts were filled by Dr. A. K. Aldirer, W. H. Coffman, Edward Lewis, Paul Harman, Frank Colley, Misses Sloan, Rawlings. Hen dershott, Albert, Cope, White, Foulke, Girton and Miller. The cake walk by Misses Edna Wil son, Emma Webb, Minnie Deily, Bess Bachman, Aleca Hallbauer, Nellie Wilson, ?nd Messrs. S. II. Harman, J. W. Lee, Silas Riddle; G. Gross, Frank Miller and Ben Car penter, was also a winner, and receiv ed much applause. Thi Archer Cadets were Misses Low, Buckalew, Hartman, White, Neal, Andress, Ethel Hartman and Hemingway. They looked pretty and marched well. Harold and Mae Gross as the Komical Koons, were very entertain ing. There were a large number in the chorus who deserve equal credit with those who had more prominent parts, but their names are not at hand. One of the most serious drawbacks to the proper presentation of the operetta was the smallness of the stage, and the absence of appropriate scenery and stage properties, but even this (By courtesy of WllUamsport "(irit,"i When Completed. rpiaitcred whi'e Oak finished in Flemish, green, nnd nntiipie ton-s.

The thanks of the public are due to the ladies who are working so zealously and unselfishly to establish a free li brary. May their efforts be crowned with success! The Wheelmen pool team for the second time triumphed ever Capt. Boyd Maize's shooters last night. The victory was even more decisive than before, the Wheelmen this time leading by 35 points.
