Look out for a finely executed
counterfeit silver dollar. This State
is being flooded with them and they
are said to be the best counterfeit
that has been discovered in years.
The auction sale of town lots by
the Laud Improvement Co. was ad
journed to next Saturday, on ac
count of the storm. This is a chauce
to secure a desirable lot on easy
term.
Constable Thomas McGuiley of
Conyngham township, and assis
tant John JDurrah, brought three
prisoners to town last week. Per
jury is the charge against them,
and the party aggrieved is Adam
Friday, of Wilburton. They were
placed in jail to await the action of
the grand jury.
Measles is epidemic in the vicini
ty of Washingtonville. The con
tagious disorder was first discover
ed last week. On Sunday, Dr. J.
O. HofTa of Washingtonville, ad
ministered to eight patients between
2 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
It is feared that the disease will
cause the schools to be closed.
Remember it is more blessed to
give than to receive. See if you
cannot make some poor family
happy today.
Pennsylvania now has a forest
reserve of 324,000 acres. This is
one result of the movement which
began with the observance of Arbor
Day in the schools. People every
where begin to see the importance
of planting trees and caring for
them, and of legislation designed
to secure a national treatment of
trees and forests. Moreover, the
decisions of the Courts have helped
to stop the ruthless mutilation and
destruction of trees along telegraph
and trolley lines, and the senti
ments awakened in the hearts of
the young through the observance
of Arbor Day have reinforced and
strengthened the teachings of ex
perts in regard to the deterioration
of agricultural lands through the
denudation of our forest areas.
The sportsman who drags his
gun between fence rails or through
a thicket with the hammer up and
the muzzle at his heart continues to
get his name in the obituary column
of his favorLe newspaper. It is
little wonder that fatalities are so
numerous when the careless manner
iu which fire arms are handled is
considered.
The Leader Store Co., Ltd., cer
tainly does not believe in doing
by halves. To make their school
marm souvenir a success, they spent
money freely. . They are applying
the same magic touch to their rug
contest. The management have
made up their minds to douole their
business for 1902, and are now
planting the seed. This rug is not
"given with a pound of tea" arti
cle, but a carpet which would beau
tify any home in Columbia county.
And the plan for obtaining it is sim
plicity itself. The floors are crowd
ed with goods picked and chosen
by their careful, tasteful buyer and
manager, Miss C. E. Kelly. A
dollai is well spent and will give to
the successful guesser that $75.00
rug.
The man who rocks the boat is at
last to be tried lor manslaughter.
Last Summer Miss Finefrock, of
York, was drowned in Lake Rover
just across the border in Maryland,
Dy tne upsetting ot a pleasure boat.
There were others in the party, all
of whom escaped but Miss Fine
frock. Among the others was
Frank Rinehart, the young man
who persisted in rocking the boat,
answering the remonstrances with
the boast that he was an expert
swimmer and could save the whole
party should anvth inf Vinnnpn
What he was evidently seeking did
happen, for he kept on rocking the
boat until it turned over. Rinehart
made 110 effort to save anybody but
himself. The Grand Jury ol Wash
ington County, Md., has indicted
the frolicsome young gentleman for
manslaughter, and the trial to en
sue will attract pretty wide atten
tion. If rocking a boat with fatal
results is manslaughter in Maryland
it will be nothing less in any State.

TH0U3&ND3 SAW PICTURES.
Lyman H. Howe Draw an Immense Audience
to tne Armory.
One of the largest crowds the
armory has ever held last night
saw the Lyman II. Howe moving
pictures and it was also one of the
best pleased audiences ever as
sembled there. , Heretofore Mr.
Howe has given his exhibition,
first in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium
and then in the Nesbitt and as on
eveiy occasion the house9 were
filled he conceived the idea of giv
ing an entertainment in the armory,
with its vast floor space. The
fact that he succeeded iu filling this
great audience room also is the big
gest kind of a testimonial for him.
Mr. Howe's entertainment was
well worth the immense audience.
He has the reputation everywhere
in this country of giving the best
moving picture entertainment on
the road and everywhere he goes
there are big houses. Mr. Howe
spends big sums of mouev for the
latest and best pictures and is thus
enabled to get exclusive subjects
both from European and American
manufactures. He makes an an
nual trip to Europe to see what is
being produced there.
The series is the best Mr. Howe
has ever given in Wilkes Barre.
Perhaps the most interesting just at
this time are those from the Pan
American Exposition and the Mc
Kinley scenes. In the former the
camera was on a naphtha launch
that made a circuit of the Exposi-
tioti grounds in the canal and the
audience was enabled to see the
buildings, etc.. just as if it had been
on the' launch with the camera.

ELIAS 0EEA8T
Passes Away at the Residence of his Daughter
in noanngcreex lownsnip.
The residence of Mrs. Clarence
Ceaver, in Roaringcreek township,
had a visitation of death ou Friday
last when her aged father Elias
Creasy, was called from this vale
of sorrow to the home beyond.
Mr. Creasy had been in failing
health, for a long time, due in a
large measure to advanced years.
He was born in Mifflin township,
October 12, 18 19. The chief oc
cupation of his lile was that of a
farmer, in which he engaged early
in his existence and continued until
he was compelled to retire about
twelve years ago. Although not
demonstrative in manner his kindly
disposition attracted to him a large
circle of friends who found in him
the sterling characteristics of clean
manhood, which won their regard
and esteem as well as enduring
friendship.
The children who are left to
mourn the loss of a kind father are
four in number, namely, Mrs. Clar
ence Cleaver, of Roaringcreek, Mrs.
Anna Yeager, of Plymouth, and
Mrs. Clara Lee and Clark Creasy.

brothers surviving, John P., of

residing in Iowa, and Lafayette, of

The funeral was held on Monday.
Sorrowing friends viewed the re
mains, after which they were borne
to tbeir final resting- place in the
cemetery near the Brick church in
Center township.

A MEMORIAL BROCHURE,
By Rev. G. H- Hemingway, D. D.
A handsome booklet has just been
issued from The Columbian office,
entitled, "A Memorial Brochure on
Our Last Martyr President, contain
ing ilso a few Short Homilies on
Anarchy, Yellow Journalism, etc."
It contains a memorial address de
livered at the Union Service held in
the Bloomsburg M. E. Church on
Sept.(i4th a sermon on Anarchy vs.
Christianity, preached in the Pres
byterian Church on Sept. 15: a sermon
on Our Martyr President, preached in
the same place on Sept. 2 2; and an
address on Yellow Journalism, de
livered in the Opera House on Sept.
21, before the Columbia County
Veterans' Association. It also con
tains half-tone cuts of President Mc
Kinlcy; the President delivering his
last address, at Buffalo, the day before
he was shot; the First Presbyterian
Church, of Bloomsburg; and Rev. G.
H. Hemingway, D. D., the author of
the book.
The Brochure contains 38 pages of
reading matter, and is handsomely
bound in a flexible black cover, printed
in red, and tied with a purple silk
cord.
The addresses were delivered in a
most impressive manner, with an
eloquence inspired by the solemnity
of the subject, and the awfulness of
the occasion. Dr. Hemingway enjoys
a high reputation as a pubiic speaker,
and these addresses are among his
very best efforts.
Through the liberality of some of
the author's friends a copy of the book
was presented to every teacher at the
Institute last week. It is on sale at
Bidleman's, and the price is nominal,
ten cents. Only a limited number of
copies were printed, so that those de
siring one should secure it soon.
