The H- Y . World -Thrice-a-Week Edition-
The Most Widely Read Newspaper in
America.
Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice-a- Week World stands alone
in its class. Other papers have im
itated its form but not its success.
This is because it tells all the news
all the time and tells it impartially,
whether that news be political or
otherwise. It is, in fact, almost a
daily at the price of a weekly and
you cannot afford to be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike
can read the Thrice a-Week Worla
with absolute confidence in its
truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first-class serial stories and other
features suited to the home and
fireside.
The Ihrice-a Week Worift re&
nlar subscription price is only $1.00
per year and this pays for 156 pa
pers. We offer this unequalled
newspaper and Tub Columbian
together for $1.70.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is $2.00. tf

Ex-Judge I. K. Krickbaum, of

Monday. Though somewhat ad
vanced in years he is hale and
hearty, and was warmly greeted by
his many friends here. While serv
ing his term on the bench as an as
sociate during Judge Elwell's in
cumbency he enjoyed the respect
and confidence ot the whole county,
and still retains it.

relatives here. Mr. White is a son
of A. M. White, who formerly
lived ou the hill farm above Light

They have a fine property in Wood

is near that of J. Howard Kline,
formerly of Orangeville.
In last week's issue was pub
lished a list of names of attorneys
of Columbia county, past and pres
eut, and by an oversight the names
of R. R. Zarr and Clem R. Weiss
were omitted. This was entirely
unintentional. The list was pre
pared outside of this office and sub
mitted to us for publication. As it
was necessarily made up from recol
lection, no list being kept in the
public lecords, it is quite remarka
ble that only two were omitted. If
there are any others however, we
will gladly correct the mistake.
The remains of Edward G.
Brown were brought here from
Rorwit'lr oil Saturday afternoon, to
the home of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Ezra E. Brown, on Fourth

home oi his wife's parents early
Saturday morning, alter an illnejs
of three weeks; from consumption
of the bowels. He resided in New
York city, and when taken ill,
started for Bloomsburg with his
wife, but stopped off at Berwick.
He was a brother of Prof. Ira
Brown, who with his wife came on
from Bridgeport, Conn., to attend
the funeral on Monday. Rev. Dr.
Frysinger conducted the services.
JOHN WOLF.
About eighteen months ago Mr.
John Wolf discovered a growth on
his face that gave him much dis
comfort. Medical treatment did
not seem to improve it, and finally
it was pronounced to be of a can
cerous nature. Mr. Wolf went to
the Hospital at Sayre, Pa. and there
two cancers were removed from his
face. Still he was not relieved,
and so by the advice of the surgeon
at Sayre he went to a Hospital in
Baltimore. The physicians found
his jaw honeycombed and decided
that it would be necessary to re
move the jaw-bone from one side of
his face, which was accordingly
done on Wednesday, January 8.
He underwent the operation with
fortitude and seemed to rally from
it at first, but gangrene set in in his
foot, and then pneumonia followed
and from this he died at midnight
on Friday, January 17. His wile
and daughter, Mrs. H. G." Eshle
man, were at his bedside when he
expired. The remains were
brought home on Saturday and the
burial took place on Monday aiter
noon at four o'clock, Rev. M. E.
McLinn conducting the services
The trustees of the Normal School
were nearly all present and the pall
bearers were selected from their
number.
Mr. Wolf was born in Mifflin
township on November 27, 1834
and was therefore more than sixty
seven years of age. He was twice
married, his first wife being Mary
P., daughter of the late Joseph
Pohe, by whom he had three chil
dren, Mrs. J H. Case, of Danville,
Mrs. Harry Huppert, of Shaniokin,
and Mrs. H. G. Eshleman, ofi
Bloomsburg, all of whom survive
His second wife was Mrs. Sue A
White. He was at one time in
partnership with II. J. Clark in the
mercantile business; and subse-i
quently with Johu A. Funston in
the sale of agricultural implements
and with his son-in-law H. G
Eshleman in the plumbing busi
ness. He was superintendent ol
the Lutheran Sunday School for
twenty-seven years and a member
of the Church Council for a long
time. He was a consistent and
earnest christian man. He was
deeply interested in the Normal
School and was a trustee of the
school from the beginning in 1867
up to his death. He was the last
of those members of the first
board who were in continuous
service. His kindly disposition,
his integrity as a business man, his
purity of character made hun mauy
friends and his death is deeply re
gretted by all who knew him.

The Mock Gonrt Trial
Jury Will Hear Testimony in the Great Case
on Friday Evoning.
Bride Was Plaintiff in Bridegroom's Court
In the presence of only the fami
lies of the bride and bridegroom Mrs.
Annie L. Whittaker, of Philadelphia,
was married at noon last Saturday to
former Judge Max L. Mitchell, of
Williamsport. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. J. H. Payran
in the home of the bride's mother,
Mrs. William H. Whittaker, in Phila
delphia. Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell departed
for New York. Alter a month's hon
eymoon in Florida they will make
their home in Williamsport.
According to friends of both, their
acquaintance began when the present
bride was a schoolgirl and Mr. Mitch,
ell a young lawyer. In later years
the woman married. She became
Mrs. Heimbold, and lived for a time
in Williamsport. Not long after this,
and when Mr. Mitchejl had been ap
pointed to the bench, she made ap
plication for divorce from Heimbold.
Chance brought her as a petitioner
betore her old friend. Judge Mitch
ell appointed a Master to hear the
testimony, and later Judge Little, of
Bloomsburg, granted the divorce.
Mis. Heimbold went to Philadelphia
then and made her home with her
mother, resuming her maiden name of
Whittaker.
Mr. Mitchell renewed his acquaint
ance with his schoomate, and be
came a frequent visitor to the Broad
street house. On January 1 his en
gagement with Miss Whittaker was
announced.

Your Choice.
There are two classes of opticians. One class travels from town !
town and never go back where they have sold glasses. Whether they are
afraid to meet their patrons or not I cannot say but they certainly never go
back If the glasses are right you have lost nothing by patronizing this
class except the extra price which they charge for traveling expenses. If
they are wrong you have to pay somebody else to make them right. The
other class settles permanently in one town. They always stand ready to
hack their guarantee and to make good all errors. They have sufficient con
fidence in their ability to do skillful work that they are not afraid to meet
their patrons on the street. I belong to the latter class. If my work is
not satisfactory in every way I want to know it and make it right I have
been in business in Bloomsburg for nine years. I expect to be here for
twenty-five more.
