The suggestion made a few days ago that a minstrel peiformance be eiven to raise money for Bloomsburg's proposed Centenial Celebration, is a good one. A number of the Winona Company, which has given several successful performances of the kind , within the past year, has interviewed nearly everyone who took part, and by everyone the suggestion has been most favorably received. Manager of the Opera House, J. R. F'owler, has very magnanimously offered the use af the house, so that the recemts will be nearly all profit. 01 coutse some printing matter will have to be gotten out, but it will only be a small item. Work on a program will be com menced immediately. The enter tainment will be clean, chaste and free from any objectionable features.

Impure Baking Powder Seized- The New York Board of Health find it Contains Alum and Rock, Declare it Dangerous to Health Dump it into the River. The New York papers report that the Health Department of that city has seized as dangerous to health near ly two tons of cheap mixtures sold for baking powder, and dumped them in to the offal scow to be destroyed. More of the powtler was iound in a Sixth ave. department store. The re port ot the analysis of the Health De partment stated that it was "an alum baking powder" containing alum and pulverized rock. The different Health Authorities seem to' have different ways of repress ing the sale of bad baking powders In England they have prosecuted the grocers under the general law and broken up the traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum baking powder is actually prohibited by law. In New York they seize the unwholesome stuff and cast it into the river, without any discus sion. The latter way is certainly effective. The alum baking powders are usu- ally offered at a low price, ten to twenty cents a pound, or prize, as a temptation to with some the house- wife. Consumers can protect themselves by buying only high grade baking powder of established name and repu tation. Do not be tempted by the grocer to take something else as ''just as good" or "our own brand,'' for the trials show that the grocer himself is often deceived by unscrupulous makes and is selling an alum powder without knowing it. There are several good powders on the market; let the housekeeper insist on having what she knows is right, and not be induced to risk the life of the family for an imaginary saving of a few cents. . . School Directors' Transact Business. The School Board met Friday nighf, for the transaction of business. Treasurer C. A. Kleim made his re port for the month, showing the re ceipts to have been $125.83. The teachers and janitors were paid their salaries for the month of April. The permanent teachers' diploma of Miss Clora F'urman was approved by the Board. It was decided to improve the grounds of Third Street. The ter races will be graded and other im provements made. Inasmuch as the appropriation from the state will not be received until in July, it was decided to borrow $1300 for a period of ninety days. The bills- presented were passed unon. and orders issued, after which the meeting adjourned. The arrangements tor Commence ment will be made at the next meet mc, which will be held tomorrow evening. For the meeting of the Imperial Council, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, the Lackawanna Railroad will sell excursion tickets to Sari Francisco at the very low rate of $66.25 for the round trip.

The (air and festival conducted by the Rescue Fire Company last week was a grand success. The profits were sufficient to entirely wipe out the debt on their building.

Myron Meyers, a young man, not out of his teens, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Meyers, of Lime Ridge, was killed almost instantly at the paint shops of the American Car and Foundry Company in Berwick Friday morning. Engaged in painting the trucks of a car, humming a popular air, without a moment's notice the switch engine moved down upon him His body was caught beneath the wheels, and terribly mangled. His suffering was brief. He had no more than been removed from beneath the car, when death came. He was aged seventeen years and had been work ing for the Company only, a short time. The remains were removed to the home of his grief stricken parents Trie funeral occurred Sunday.

Whiteuight, so decided on Saturday, after visiting the park The excursion will go on August 16, and one half the proceeds will be given to the centennial fund. Ordinance Repealed, The Berwick Council has repealed the trolley ordinance and notified the company that they must remove their rails and poles from the streets of Berwick within ten days. This action is taken on the ground that the com pany did not accept the ordinance within ten days from its passage and that therefore it became null and void The company claims that they still had twenty days in which to accept, but it is not likely that they would have accepted as they claim the re quirements of the ordinance were un reasonable, and would cost more than any trolley line could afford to spend The Selinsgrove reporter misrep resented things wheii he sent the score of a second game of base ball to the Philadelphia papers on Mon day. Normal played but one game there on Saturday, and won it. As a result of the misrepresentation, and the poor treatment given the Normal team, all athletic association with the University have been can celled. We understand that Buck- nell has taken similar action. Mrs. Joseph Casey and son Ro land, and Mrs. Callie Bodine, were thrown from a carriage while re turning home from Mr. and Mrs. John Brunner's golden wedding anniversary at Millville. It appears that they had followed the wrong road. They discovered their mis take and in turning around the vehicle was overturned, aud they were thrown out. Mrs. Casey was the most seriously injured. The carriage was badly wrecked. Livery man Derr, sent another conveyance to bring them home. The accident occurred near Mordansville. The Alonzo Hatch Electro Photo Musical Company will be in Bloomsburg on May 31 and will give their famous entertainment of moving pictures and songs at the Opera House under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society ot the Bap tist church. Remember the date and purchase vour ticket early. This is said to be the best Moving Picture Show now before the pub lic.

Book of Vacation Stories- Exceedingly bright and refreshing is a series ot little stories entitled "ine Experiences of Pa." appearing in a re cent publication, issued by the Lacka wanna Railroad. Pa is a dear old gentleman srom "Down East," who is taking his first vacation in forty years in visiting, with his wife, some of the early scenes of their courting days. Perhaps one of tne most interesting of Pa's experiences on this second trip is his thrilling ride in the cab of the great locomotive, which he graphically describes in his own inimitable way, Equally thrilling and no less interest ing was an exciting ride which he took in wild haste, up hill and oown dale, in an automobile, at Richtield Springs, watched by the loving but muchfright- ened Ma. Boat races ot any description usually promise an element of pleasurable ex citement not to be resisted, but the race up beautiful Lake Hopatcong be tween the trim electric launches an fas teariuiiy and wonderfully con structed craft, was a spectacle thrilling as :t was unique. The crowning chapter to the little romance of this interesting pair was the dirious compact entered into be tween them while at Delaware water Gap, the scene ot their betrothal and marriage so many years before, that they should turn back the pages of forty years and become once again a pair of happy young lovers. This charming little series of stories is embodied in an attractive book descriptive of the suburban and sum mer resort territory of the Lackawanna Railroad. It is called "Mountain and Lake Resorts " It may be had by sending c cents, in stamps, to cover postage, to T. vv. Lee, General Pas senger Agent, 20 Exchange Jt'lace, New York.
