Many county offices are to be filled, and the selection should be made by a majority vote of all the Democrats in the county, and not by a few persons in each dis trict. Those who do not take the trouble to go to the polling places on June 7tn will nave no excuse for kicking if their friends are not nominated. The ballots are plainly printed, with instructions how many to vote for, for each office. Read carefully and when there are more names under the heading than are to be voted lor, draw a pencil through the names for which you do not wish to vote. For instance: For Prothonotary there are three names and only one to be chosen, strike out two of them. For Commission er there are three names, two to be chosen. Strike out one of them. and so on. If the tickets are not properly marked they will not be counted for the offices where the mistakes occur. Let every man go to the polls and get as many others there as possible. Gray Hi air "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for over thirty years. It has kept my scalp free from dandruff and has prevented my hair from turn ing gray." Mrs. F. A. Soule, Billings, Mont. There is this peculiar thing about Ayer's Hair Vigor it is a hair food, not a dye. Your hair does not suddenly turn black, look dead and lifeless. But gradually the old color comes back, all the rich, dark color it used to have. The hair stops falling, too. S1.00 a kottU. All dninl.ii.

It does not follow that we endorse all that is said here. STATEMENT FROM JEREMIAH SNYDER. So many malicious falsehoods have recently appeared in certain newspapers of this county concern ing the matter of the commissions charged by me as County Treasurer out of the license moneys, that I now desire to make a brief state ment. In almost all of these articles it is asserted tnat county Commis sioner William Krickbaum advised and persuaded me to corruptly and fraudulently retain certain money due to ihe respective boroughs and townships of the county, which he well knew did not belong to me, as commissions tor money paid out as County Treasurer. J now and here wish to stamp this ridiculous story as a lie I It has been manufactured solely out of the malice of the political enemies of Mr. Krickbaum, who hope thus to defeat him in his campaign for As sociate Judge. Let me say. once for all, that however much I have been mistaken (as were many of the ablest judges and lawyers of this State) on this debated question of my commissions, yet I never wilfully, fraudulently, corruptly, or intentionally, retained one penny of money not belonging to me, and moreover, mas never advised by William Krickbaum to do so. I make this statement now be cause I believe it to be an act of simple justice to Mr. Krickbaum The details of my own defense I purposely withold for a more fitting time and place, well knowing that if I made them public now I would only be providing my enemies with infoimatlou which they would at tempt to distort and pervert to my further injury. JEREMIAH SNYDER, County Treasurer, The Benton Argus of last week contains several columns of matter, in which it is attempted to indicate I who are the leading candidates for I the several offices to be voted for at the primary election on Saturday, June 7th. We are surprised that the Argus should permit itself to be led into such a blunder as this. It is the custom of all respectable and responsible newspapers to treat all candidates alike, and to give all an equal chance up to the time of the nominating convention, except in cases where a candidate is so evi dently unfit for or undeserving of the position to which be aspires, that it may become a public duty to expase him. But to attempt to influence the entire ticket is an as sumption of bossism that has seldom been exhibited in this county. The fight of the Argus against William H. Fisher is generally understood to have bsen forced upon it by an influence which the Argus dare hot resist, and the objection raised against Fisher's renomination is also generally understood to be be cause he acted according to his own best judgment, and would not be used or controlled by any individual or faction. He is iust the kind of a man to be retained in the commis sioners' office, and the Democrats of this county are not going to make the mistake of violating the rules and custom of the party by turning down a good man. Vote for William H. Fisher. FAIR PLAY. The Harrisburg Star Independent of May 30th, 1902, has the follow ing to say concerning the Columbia County primary election to be held on June 7th 1902, between the hours of 3 and 7 o'clock p. tn. The Columbia County Primary Democratic elections will be held a week from tomorrow, and promise to be more thau usually interesting. For senator and representatives in the legislature Hon. J. Henry Cochran, and Hon. William T. Creasy and Fred T. Ikeler are with out opposition, and properly get a unanimous vote. The same compliment ought to be paid to Christian A. Small, Esq. of Catawissa, who is a candidate for District Attorney. Mr. Small has been chairman of the county committee for three years and dur ing his incumbency of that impor tant office the party majority has been largely increased. lie is a lawyer of splendid ability, a demo crat of much earnestness, and a party leader of infinite skill. Bloomsburg, Pa., June 4, 1902. Editor Columbian: . I notice the Argus last week gushes over on the question of the efficiency of C. A. Small a candidate for District Attorney. In fact Mr. Small has over done himself in booming his qualifications in Cen- I tralia, Catawissa and other news- papers. As a friend, neighbor and j close observer of the years of work at the bar of Clem R. Weiss, Mr. Small's opponent, I cheerfully bear testimony to the fact that Mr. Weiss who has always borne an honorable reputation, is at least the peer and equal of Mr. Small or any other young member of the bar, and his integrity no one dares question. A Democrat. A DECEPTION. Having seen the circular of Alex ander Knouse, I vividly recall a conversation that look place in the Gilniore restaurant at Bloomsburg at which were present Mr. Knouse, William Krickbaum, myself . and one or two others whose names l cannot recall. This conversation took place about two years ago and Alexander Knouse then said he would be a candidate for Sheriff, but said nothing about being a candidate for Associate Judge. J. C. Furman, Berwick, Pa. June 3rd 1902. Christian A. Small, candidate for the office of District Attorney has been the Democratic County Chairman for the past three years and during this time the Democrat ic majorities increased each year. Hehas filled this posiiion to the entire satisfaction of the Democracy of Columbia county and we are sure that the party will not forget the valuable services he has ren dered. Clem R. Weiss, the candidate for District Attorney, is a resident of Bloomsburg. the county seat and centre of all court business. This is an office that has always been given to a young member of the bar deserving of the introduction , income and practice derived there from. His opponent, Mr. Small having been a partner of Mr. Rhawn has been able to secure a good practice from the association with his senior partner. An Observer. Christian A. Small, Esq. candi date for the office of District Attor ney, is thoroughly qualified to fill this important position; and if elect ed we believe he will make a good official Easy Victims. Another fake scheme has been worked successfully and as a result, a number of our people are out of pocket. Representative of the Miners Tea Company appeared here last week and canvassed the town. They offered a package of baking powder for 50 Cents. Every purchaser, by furnishing a photograph was entitled to an enlargement as a premium The swindlers found easy picking, and victims were numerous. They did not confine their operations to Bloomsburg alone however. Sunbury, Danville and other nearby town were visited. In Dnville they inserted an advertisement in one of the papers stating that the Company would open a store there on June 2, where every one who had purchased a package of the baking powder would be present ed with a handsome picture frame, luesuay, the day the opening was supposed to take place, a goodly number of people were on hand, bu the Tea Company was missing. It is the loss of the photographs, more than the money, that is grieving the victims. An Interesting Qame. The Carpet Mill ball team surprised their friends by their clever playing against the Harry Heilman Academy of Wilkes Barre at Athletic Park on Friday. Five hundred chairs had been placed upon the field previous to the game. Every one was occu-, pied and a number of people were compelled to stand up. The game was therefore what is known among the sports as a "box office winner." The guarantee of $30 was paid and a nice sum was realized beside. The game was a good one. Only one misplay was charged against the locals and it was of the excusable variety. The visitors, too, played a nice snappy game and the interest was intense. Savits pitched in his usual good form and Miller at Third displayed infinite skill. The contest ended with the score 10 to 7 in favor of Bioomsburg. The Civic Club has formulated plans for the extermination of the Caterpillar pest, which it hopes will prove effective. They offer ten prii.es to all children not over four, teen. This plan can only meet with success, when aided by the citizens, permitting the cocoons to be gath ered under their direction upon their property. Some of the prizes are offered by business men, others have been purchased with money donated for the purpose. The citi zens have responded generously and a spraying apparatus will be purchased with the money not used for prizes. In this manner the Club hopes, in the future, to be better prepared to assist in destroying these insects. TOWWSEWD'S SPRING CLOTHING, A Chance to Change CotiyrwM Crouno A Hrandf-ire. UUca, Naw York.
