The new building of the Berwick store company which has been in course of erection for many months past is now completed. It is one of the largest and most finely appointed store buildings in this section; and it was built under the supervision of and over the plans lurnished by Architect J. H. Brugler of Danville The building, which is a four story structure of brick and stone, 100x180 feet, consists in part of the old store building, which was thoroughly re modeled, and a large annex. It is equipped with hydraulic passenger and freight elevators from the first to the fourth floor, in addition to a " pavement drop " from the sidewalk to the cellar. On the first floor, in the centre of the room, near the elevator, is a large and very ornate soda fountain. It is distinctively a department store, and as such will compare favor ably with many of those in our larger cities. , The store, when rightly down to business will employ 125 clerks. The American Car and Foundry company alone employs some 3000 men and the store does a business of $Soo,ooo annually. On a single day recently business to the amount of $16,000 was transacted. The store is under the superintendence of Ray H. Daven port. BEVOuVINU PICTURES. At Orangeville Hall.

A ladv who knew Mrs. Cleveland quite well met her at the Grand Cen tral Stafon in New York, recently, fairly laden down with parcels. 'You look a real old-fashioned Santa Claus," she said to Mrs. Cleve land. "Oh, no, not quite that,'' was the reply, ''for I have no toys in my par cels; they are - fil'ed with fruit that am taking out to where I am staying, because they are very fond of these particular things and they can t be had out there." When Mrs. Cleveland lett the train her friend thought that she would give pleasure to the brakeman by tell ing him that he had "entertained an angel unawares." So she said, "Did you see that lady on the platform with all those par cels?" "Yes," said he, "what of her?" "That's Mrs. Cleveland." The man refused to believe her. He could not believe, that the wife of the ex-President, almost struggling with parcels, would be traveling alone in an ordinary day coach. Such simple democracy passed his belief.

William Campbell, of Register, of whom we made mention last week as getting his leg crushed at the oil works, died last Wednesday, January 2d, and was buried on Friday, the ath. Amputation became necessary and he could not survive the operation. On last Monday morning as O. B. Beishline and hired help were loading the steam engine of his portable saw mill, he narrowly escaped probably a fatal accident by the engine slipping on the skids, but was caught by some bstruction before falling and enisli ng him. Mrs. Bcishlme, widow ol Levi Beishline, late of Bendertown, died f appoplexv on Tuesday of last week, and was buried at St. James on Friday. She is survived by two sons, Daniel, of Nebraska, and Nathan, of Bendertown, and three daughters. She was aced 74 years, 2 months and days. One of the Sugarloaf jurors, of second week of Court, reported to us that large flocks of crows were rafting ice down the river during the flood of that week, presumably to exchange it at Haverdcgrace and other points along the river for corn with ice deal ers along the river line. It was said the crows were shouting,- "Corn, corn, corn." On last Saturday afternoon the oil well had reached a depth of about 27s feet. They struck salt water on last Friday and have shut off all the Water, both fresh and salt, and are boring what they call a dry well.

Yes. we think that Congress was right in pensioning ex-presidents $25, 000 per year during the remainder of their natural lives. Congress is over whelmingly Republican, and the only living ex president is Grover Cleve-, land. Surely, the Republican party owes old Grover that much for turn ing all the affairs of government into their hands. If it wasn't worth that much it wasn't worth anything. The tail end of the Republican kite must have a little breeze or it will lag en tirely. These Goods Hust be Sold. I.W.HARTMAN RETIRING FROM BUSINESS. u DDlssol-u-tiorn. Sal OFrices.

MoOlure's for February, Story by Miss Daskam, In McClsro's. tht February You Need Our Goods, We Need Your Money. I. W. HARTTiAN & SON, BLOOMSBURG. PA. 0BANGEVILLE HEWS- Borne Ways to Stop Nose-Bleed- The Night Before Christmas- The secret of the popularity of playi which picture the simplicity of country life is unquestionably due to the fact that we are only children at heart and none ot us are so callous and worldly wise but that we love to live over again those happy days of early childhood amid the tranquil scenes of leafy lanes and breezy fields. It was with this object in view that the latest pastoral play "The Night Be fore Christmas " was written and pro duced and its instant success shows how true was the aim of its projectors. Crowded audiences have laughed and wept with the lovable, true to nature characters in the play and it is claim ed that no one can see it wihut feeling better and purer for it. The date for the appearance of " The Night Before Christmas" in this city is next Thursday Jan. 30th, at the Bloomsburg Opera House. Mis; Josephine Dodge Daskam, the young writer whose work has become familiar to readers of almost all the better class of magazines, is a gradu ate of Smith College of the class of '98. Though so rapid her rise into iavor has been very quiet. She has done nothing astonishingly ambitious. Her work consists chiefly of short stories. You may recognize her work almost anywhere by its humor, but nowtiere else does this quality seem quite so spontaneous, quite so all of its own vanety, as in the stories about children which she has contributed to Mc Clure s Magazine. The latest of these is "Ardeha in Arcady," in the Febiuary number. Little Ardelia is the subject of a philanthropic experi ment of the "fresh-air" type, but does not take at all kindly to it. Her so journ in Arcady is cut very short. On her return she voices her disgust at Arcady with the one cockney com ment, "Gee I N' York's the place. Miss Daskam is now giving readings from some of her stories which have come out in AlcClurfs and which will appear in book form in the spring. m. Will Install Blood Hounds- Francis Woll. who recently estab lished a skunk tarm on , Montour Ridge, has ordered two large blood hounds to keep-away intruders. It will be remembered that some mis creants recently invaded his premises, slaughtering and carrying away the pelts of all the skunks installed. The skunks hereafter will be con fined in a central inclosure, which will be surrounded by a circular range, also enclosed, for the hounds.. Under the circumstances it would re quire an individual with a good deal of nerve to trespass upon the prem ises so as to interfere with the skunks. Montour American. Have the child sit up straight, anJ: hold the nostrils tightly together. Wrap a small piece of ice in a littler cotton wool and genty rub the out-? side of the nose with it. If this does not stop it you may have the child, raise his arms above his head and r put a wad of tissue paper under hir upper hp, holding it there firmly. Do, not allow the child to blow his nose' for some time after the bleeding has stopped. If the attacks are frequent consult a good physician, as there; may be some disease of the blood or1- blood-vessels which should be treated. before things have gone too far.- February Ladies'1 Home Journal.
