JKB'IT, SupU Farmer Larkin's Boarders. Farmer Larkin's Boarders, a come dy in two acts was well presented by the class of 1902, before a fair sized audience in the Opera House Satur day evening. The piece is one which is admirably adapted to amateur per formers. It is brim full of comic situations and contains some affect ing passages. William J. McKelvy, as Harry Wendell, and Harry W. Shuman as Jonas Larkins, made a hit. Miss Ida Jury as Lucy Larkins and Miss Julia E. Richards as Madge Wendell, appeared to good advantage. In fact all the characters showed careful training and the performance was a superb success. Swarz's orchestra furnished the music, which was also very much enjoyed. Gift to Homo Missions Mrs. Edward Tustin, nee Helen Ferguson, a former town resident but now of Bloomsburg, spent several days with town friends this week. While here she presented $25 to the Woman's Home Missionary Society. The gift came at a most opportune time, and was highly appreciated by the ladies connected with that noble organization. Mt.

With a loud report and a force that made buildings all over the town tremble, an explosion occurred at the rolling mill of the American Car & Foundry Company in Berwick Friday. The slag was being removed from the mill, and in dumping the carriage, the hot cinders rolled into water and an awful explosion followed. Three men were injured. They are Edward Mensinger, and Teter Suit of Berwick and Henry Hoscar of Nescopeck. Mensinger's condition is precarious. His clothing was burned from his body, and tlie flesh actually roasted his ears particularly, which were burn ed to a crisp. The other two were more fortunate, and escaped with less injury. The force of the explosion was terrible. Large chunks of the fiery cinder crashed through inch boards two hundred feet away. Royal Aroanum Picnic At a meeting of representatives of the Muncy, Watsontown, Milton, Lewisburg, Sunbury, Danville, Ber wick and Bloomsburg Councils of the Royal Arcauum, held at Sunbury on Monday, to arrange for the annual picnic and the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the order, Thursday June 26, was the date and Island Park between Sunbury and Northumberland, the place decided upon for the meeting. Prof. G. E. Wilbur and J. W. Eyer represented Bloomsburg council. A Poison Without an Antidote. Some persons are advocating a sub stitute for death by electricity and hanging. They have advocated poisoning. Well, nothing could be more effective or painless than execu tion by means of a capsule filled with hydrocyanic acid. It might be served without the knowledge of the convict, and death would be so sudden and so certain that there could be no resurrec tion. A siflgle drop placed on the tcngue of a big dog causes instant death. A half teaspoonful taken by a man will cause him to drop as it struck by lightning. There is no antidote. Tne Court Takes a Bide After the adjournment of court Monday afternoon Judge Little and Associates Thompson and Blee with Court Stenographer Vanderslice and Register and Recorder W. L.

In no other game on Normal held this reason, was clean fielding and general team work so much in evi dence. Had the fellow who origi nated this, the greatest of all outdoor sports bc.n present Saturday after noon, it is doubtful if he would have looked further for his ideal. The brilliant work was not confined to any one. two or three innings, but was kept up throughout the entire contest. When we say that Normal is entitled to great credir, we don't mean it for a disparaging remark, far from it. The work of the visitore was all that could be desired, but their hits were not quite so opportune as acre those of Normal, and herein lies the stoiy of their defeat. Both pitchers were effective but Shaffer had a shade the best of the argument, the score in full: NORMAL. R.

The strike appears to be assum ing greater proportions as time goes on. Lach succeeding day wit nesses an enlargement rather than a diminution of the differences exist ing between the Operators and the United Mine Workers. If the Operators remain firm in their re fusal to grant the engineers, fire men and pumpmen an eight hour work day, they too will join the army of strikers, and the situation will be still more alarming. If they go out, the operators will be forced to press new men into ser vice in order to keep the water from Hooding the mines, ouards are being augmented, stockades are being erected and provisioned, and a siege may be looked for. The operators say that they will expect protection, not only from the coal and iron police, but Irom the muni cipal, county and State officials as well. Coal continues to advance. In Philadelphia coal for stove ana steam purposes is selling for $7.50 per ton. and it is estimated that it will go to $3.oo before the week ends Factories all over the state are closing down daily, and men by the thousands thrown out of work What is to be the end of it all ? The future is indeed uncertain and anything but pleasant to contem plate. Oeutralia Station Burglarized- The Lehigh Valley freight station at Centralia was robbed early Satur day morning. Goods amounting to nearly $400 were stolen and damaged. A weighing machine in the passenger's waiting rooms was smashed and the money taken. Elected Directors- At the Thursday afternoon session of the Susquehanna Synod at Berwick, Rev. M. E. McLinn of Bloomsburg, and Dr. J. II. Vastine ot Catawissa, were elected directors of the Seminary at Gettysburg. The annual County Sunday School Convention will be held in Bloomsburg on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Notwithstanding the fact that the law, prohibiting the sale of tobacco to children under 16 years of age is frequently violated, but few dealers are detected in it. There are many venders of the prepared plant, daily handing out cigarretts to boys of tender years, and they ought to be made to suffer. Fourteen dealers were arrested in Williamsport last week, and it is very likely that they will pay dearly for their neglect. PURELY PERSONAL Mrs. N. S. Tinglcy is visiting in Slienan oah.
