B4SE BALL GALORE
Bloomsburg had plenty of the
' national game Saturday. Susquehanna
University opposed the Normal on
Athletic Field, while Berwick and the
new club recently organized at the
Magee Carpet Work battled for
supremacy at Athletic Park. Victory
came Bloomsburg's way at both
places At the Norma), the game was
a slow listless exhibition, devoid al
most entirely, of interest. Only in
one inning did the visitors display any
life. This was in the sixth, but they
were so far behind that the six runs
score.l, only served to make the game
appear a little more even. Lewis for
Normal, played his position in fault
less fashion, making three very pretty
catches. The score by inning's follows:
Normal 8-6-0-0-1-0-0-0-x-15
Susjuehannao-2-o-o-i-6-o-o-o- 9
Battery tor Normal, Shaffer, Steph
enson and Kilmer; for Susquehanna
Allison, Mot and Franck.
Two base hits Hayes, Newton,
Lewis. Struck out By Shaffer 3,
Stevenson 3, Allison 2, Moist 2. Base
on balls OrT Shaffer 5, off Stevenson
1, off Allison 4, off Moist 5. Hit by
pitcher Lewis, Franck. Umpire
Splain. Time 2:45.
I he came at Athletic i'ark was
markeJ by clean hitting, good base
running and clever fielding, and the
result is most propitious for the
Athletic Association of the Carpet
Works. The boys showed that they
are capable of playing good ball, the
work in every particular being most
satisfactory.
Gilbert was in tne box for the visi
tors, and although he bears the repu
tation ol being a good one, he was
outpitched Saturday by Savitts. A
good lriendly feeling prevailed all
through the game and every brilliant
play was lustily received. Pat Hage
meyer officiated as umpire and his
work was very satisfactory. The
score:
Berwick o 4002310 0-10
Carpet MilL.i 03 14002 0-11

Hunters Charged With Shipping From the
State Discharged.
Judge Archbald, of the Federal
court of the middle Pennsylvania dis
trict, has hied an opinion setting aside
the indictment in the Blooming Grove
case, in which seven New York and
New Jersey residents were charged
with violating the Lacey bill, an act
of congress, prohibiting the surrepti
tious removal of game from the state
in which it is killed.
1 90 1, were coming from Blooming
Grove park, in Pike county, Pa., with
satchels containing a hundred or more
pheasants, and a box enclosing the
carcass of a deer, when Dr. Kalbfus,
chief of the Pennsylvania game com
mission, intercepted them at the rail
road station and placed them under
arrest on the charge of violating the
Lacey act, in having prepared for
shipment packages containing dead
animals and birds, killed in violation
of local game laws. Jude Archbald
decided that the defendants were not
amenable, because the game was not
shipped out of the state, and there-
tore, the offense charged was not
completed.
The Harrisburg Patriot says:
Shad of remarkable size are being
caught at nearby points in the Sus
quehanna river and the hauls are
large. Two shad taken by local dip
ntt fishermen Thursday were sold to
a down town hotel man. They to
gether tipped the scales at fifteen
pounds and it is said others of the
same size have been frequently caught.
In fact the shad catches aie larger
and better this vear west of Columbia
than ever before, uooa hauls are
being made every evening in the
vicinity of Duncannon, where a few
years ago shad were almost unknown.
Large seines have been bought by
the fishermen there and shad battel les
have been erected. The drag of the
seine is a picturesque sight and is
daily watched by scores of persons.
At Marietta Thursday eighty-four
fish were taken in one haul and forty-
four big fellows were taken at Colum
bia. The local nets have brought to
shore as many as thirty. The largest
catch is reported from Bainbridge,
where 215 shad were taken in one
day.
From points along the Juhiata river
come reports of good catches. Few
seines are used by fishermen there.
Dip nets in deep eddies and below
the breasts of dams are the favorite
means of fishing. This method is sue
cessfully practiced at Clark's Ferry
as well.
EAST BENTON
Last Monday boring was com
menced at the new oil well at Fair-
mount Springs. If this test proves
a failure we think that the oil ques
tion will be settled once for all so
far as our valley is concerned.
J udge Krickbaum expects to plant
corn this week. He is one of the
early planters.
The roads in our end have nearly
all been repaired. Philip Gibbons
gave the roads good attention.
Rev. Iloutz preached on excellent
sermon at St. James' last Sunday
afternoon.
A creat deal ot the winter grain
is not promising even fair returns;
while some wintered in good condition.
So many farmers have not yet
commenced plowing for com.
Hired help and day laborers are
in great demaud and very scarce.
Our mechanics, carpenters and
masons complain of an over abund
ance of jobs and work in their lines
of business.
So many of our young people are
entertaining the mumps. It makes
them look quite odd carrying big
necks, but this is mumps style.
It is said that Berwick is boom
ing almost to "busting." But Ber
wick can never amount to much, as
it is too far away from Benton.
The next news that we get will
inform us who the new County Sup
erintendent is.
Marriage is not a failure, but a
"Miss Take."
A girl should never say "no.
when she means "yes." Often times
she repents when she sees another
who was not so indiscreet, happily
domiciled where she might have
been.
The political honeymoon is al
ways before the primaries and gen
eral elections. Political divorces
usually follow after, as it is said that
"politics makes strange bedfellows."
Bruce Harttnau, carrier on route

We don t know what is the matter
with Hartman. Probably mumps.

The New Superintendent,
The Convention of School Direct
ors on Tuesday made no mistake in
their selection of a Superintendent of
public schools. William W. Evans is
a graduate of the Normal School and
subsequently took a post graduate
course. He has had a number of
years experience in teaching, and has
been very successful in that line. He
is a young man of fine ability, high
moral character, and attractive man
nets, and is possessed.of a laudable
ambition to make a mark in the world.
That he will bring to his office his
best energies no one doubts who
knows him. We congratulate Mr.
Evans upon the handsome vote by
which he was chosin, and we congrat
ulate me scnoois ot tne county on
having secured his service.
Tired Out
" I was very poorly and could
hardly get about the house. I was
tired out all the time. Then I tried
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it only
took two bottles to make me feel
perfectly well." Mrs. N. S. Swin

We put them in stock because
they represent ideal fashion for

You won't want one unless you

you are going to have one.

Hay making time is when the sun shines. The selling time fo
anything is when people want it. Having a Dry Goods warn is on
thing, knowing where to satisfactorily fill that want is another. This
store's advertising tells you that your wants may be filled here. Ine
truth of the statement you must test for yourself. If not true then we
lose a busiuess friend, and our policy is to make Dusiness menus, wi
lose them. The success of a store is measured by the loyalty of the buy
