Counterfeit silver dollars of the 1890 and 1891 coin age are being circulated in nearby towns, and are apt to be floated here. The pieces are lighter than the genuine money and have a greasy leeling. Handled in a glove they would scarcely be no ticed, as the general face is good. The milling is poor about the edges and is rounded off more than the good money. Miss Minnie Knt is at home for the holidays from Newark, N. J., where she is teaching school. She taught there last year, and this year she is engaged in the sani3 school but in a higher grade, which shows that she has given excellent satisfaction to the school authori ties.

Miss Minnie is the guest of her sisters Mrs. R. G. Phillips, and Mrs. Reber Mears of Rupert. . Many people who visited the Pan-Ameiican Exposition at Buffa lo last summer and registered on the Exposition grounds, never thought that when they put their names in the books that they would be troubled thereafter. For the past few weeks, however, they have been receiving all kinds cf circulars from firms everywhere in the country, and they wondered at first how their names and addresses had come into possession of so many business houses. These firms bought the Exposition registry books, and are now seeking busi ness through the medium of the mails. The Berwick Independent seems to have some special interest in op posing the entrance of the trolley road into Berwick. Each week it pays its respects to Mr. Scanlon, and now that the council has adopt ed an ordinance permitting the use of the T rail, it takes the council to task. The T rail was adopted by the council of Bloomsburg after investi gation in other towns where it is in use, and since the road was com pleted through Main street no one has had any occasion to regret the use of the T rail. The road is con structed after the most approved fashion, and it would seem that what is good enough for Blooms burg ought to be pretty near good enough for Berwick. Mr. Scanlon and his associates are gentlemen of integrity, and during their resi dence here have made many friends, and shown themselves to be thorough business men, though the Independent for some reason would have it appear that they are a set of scheming tricksters. It is quite evident that certain persons, for their own purposes, do not want the trolley to euter Berwick, and this accounts for the opposition that has been made to every movement of Scanlon & Co. It is commonly reported that the large majority of people of Berwick are in favor of the trolley, but we cannot vouch for the truthfulness of this state ment. We do know that the trolley is an improvement and a help to Bloomsburg, and we also believe that it will be a benefit to Berwick when it gets in there. Deatn of Mrs- V7. H- flollowaj. Ruth, the wife of Hon. W. K. Holloway, whose protracted illness so nearly hopeless in its nature was a matter of universal regret, passed away on last Saturday morning aged 61 years. Mrs. Holloway was a resident of this city for over forty years. She was widely known and universally beloved. In her home she leaves a vacancy that never can be filled, while the com munity loses a member whose friend ship could always be counted upon and whose sympathy and assist ance in the hour of trial were nev er withheld. Mrs. Holloway wa3 in feeble health for many years. The cause of death was paralysis. Her long suffering was marked by a spirit of resignation and Christian fortitude. She is survived by her husband, two sons and two daughters: W. D. Holloway, of this city, and Dr. Thomas B. Holloway, of Philadel phia; Mrs. Clarence H. Frick and Miss Mary Holloway, both of whom reside at home. Danville Xews. Mrs. Holloway was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Yeager, and was born in Roaringcreek this cotintv. To all who knew her in early life, as well as those who formed ber acquaintance in the mnre advanced age, the announce ment of ber death will be received ' with sorrow The funeral, which was private, occurred on Tuesday. Beaver Lake Copper Company! Will Develop the Copper Formation In Penn Townihip. The Beaver Lake Copper Com pany is the name of a company chartered to develope the copper formations in Penn Twp., Lycoming county, near the popular fishing resort of Beaver Lake, from which the company derives its name. I he president ot the company is Gehard Snyder, of Bloomsburg. The company has recently issued a leaflet entitled "Story of an old copper mine" which reads like many of the romances that were written of the almost limitless de posits of the precious metals in the South American Andes. The com pany intends to uncover and expose the copper veins, three in number, on the property leased, so that persons who propose to invest in stock can make personal examina tions to satisfy themselves before they make investments. it is claimed that the copper veins are regular and that the ore may be mined in great quantities that will mate as marvelous showing as did the ore mined in 1848. If the ex pectations of the promoters are but partially realized, there are great fortunes in store for the investors in the Beaver Lake stock. Copper was mined at the same place as early as the year 1848, when a company of Boston capital ists leased a farm of 133 acres, and mined enough of the mineral to make several shipments to Boston The analysis of the shipment.", made at that time showed from 4J4 to 94 per cent, copper, but the site of the mine was almost inaccessible, the copper and supplies having to be carried and hauled through the woods for many miles, and the pro ject was finally abandoned. Now there is a railroad within two miles of the mines. The latest result was the production of a solid mass of copper from ore smelted by I. A. Snyder in a plumber's fur nace, which showed a very high percentage. Other very satisfactory results were also obtained by G. Snyder at a blacksmith's forge. A new four foot vein has just been discovered on the mountain on the opposite side of Ihe valley, and the projectors are fully satisfied that there is an immense deposit of ore there. The main vein now being mined is open for over 500 yards and shows four feet two inches of good ore. A large amount of ore is now ready to ship to Baltimore for smelting. It is not the present intention to erect expensive ma chinery on the ground, but to ship the ore away and sell it. The prospects are very bright and the stock is sellinig now. at 50c a share. After January 1st it will be one dollar; par value five dollars, non assessable. Gehard Snyder is the President of the company, and I. A. Snyder, Secretary. Stock can be obtained of them at the Ex change Hotel, Bloomsburg, where samples of ore and of copper can be seen. Awful Tragedy flear EenoFO Boy Kills Hit Father While Hunting. A terrible hunting accident oc curred in the mountains near Re novo, Saturday afternoon. Notwithstanding the season for shooting deer ended several weeks ago. Joseph T. De Haas, when he struck the trail of a deer near his home, posted his fourteen-year-old son Roy on the runway and started to trail the deer and drive it to a point where he or the boy could get a shot at it. After the lapse of an hour the boy saw what he oelieved to be the head of a deer among the under brush, scarcely half a rod away. He fired, but the instant he pulled the trigger the object in the brush arose and Roy saw that it was his father. The gun was heavily charged with buck-shot and Roy is a dead shot. His father never uttered a sound after the gun cracked. The entire load entered his bead. Tearing off his own coat and cap, the boy made them into a pil low beneath his dying father's head. Then, climbing a tall tree, he shouted for help. After three hours James Calhoun and Charles Summerson, who bad been hunting for bear, heard him. They found the older De Haas dead and the boy almost frozen and insane from grief. They built a fire, and as he thawed out he told tbem by signs and mutterings how the accident had occurred. De Haas is survived by a widow and six children. It is feared Roy's mind may be permanently impaired. Profs.

Eyes which are weak naturally become wore under the strain of constant study. Headache, squinting the eyelids, holding the book close to the face, are all symptoms of overwork. Children frequently fall below in their V" ies through inability to make out characters upon the blackboard. The eyes of every pupil in the schools should be examined at least once a year. You cannot aflord to be indifferent in this matter. By giving attention to slight defects nom, their school work will not only be lightened, but the ne cessity of wearing glasses constantly in after years may be avoided. If your child shows signs of eye trouble you should have his eyes examined without delay. A stitch in time saves nine. 0 O-eo. DE3Isss, Oti kso Jeweler, ELOOMSBl'RG, I'ENN'A.
