Milton Mav Lose Industry. Milton, though not a coal mining town, is affected by a strike among the employees of the extension plant of the Milton Iron Company and as a result of which the industry may be abandoned. It has been rumored though the report is not authenticated. that the works will be removed to Berwick. The Milton Standard xi speakine of the rumored move says 'This action is Dartlv due to. the senseless arbitrary strike of a lew pud dlers and some of their misguided toi lowers who have been kept agitated bv one or two unscrupulous embryo labor leaders, and by the apathy of the general public, and the apparent neclect and indifference of the author ities to afford proper protection to honest labor that came here in good faith to fill positions made vacant by men who had secured work else where." Wesley Yohe had his thumb crushed at the Bloomsburg Car Manufacturine Company's shop Monday afternoon. Ordinances Granted- At a meeting of the Town Council held last evening, ordinances were granted to the Bloomsburg & Benton and Bloomsbure & Danville JLlectric Railway Companies. A petition was presented by Orant Herring in behalf of the Goodwill Fire Company, seeking recognition from council as the fourth company of the town. W. W. Barrett, Jr. was present and he stated that the com pany was chartered as the Goodwill Fire Co. No. 4. John Fortner said that the Liberty Hose Co. was char tered as the fourth one of town and had already been recognized as such The matter occasioned considerable discussion and it was finally put to a vote. The sentiment of the council was acainst the Goodwill Co. the vote being three to two. The acceptance of the ordinance recently granted to the Bloomsburg & Millville Electric Railway Co. was read and accepted by council. The tax rate for 100a was laid for nine mills in the built up portion; six in the suburban, and four and one half in the farm portion. The council decided to borrow $2500 for 90 days at 5 per cent in order that outstanding bills might be paid. Orders amounting to $ 1383. 7 1 were ordered drawn. Authority was given President Townsend to have the council cham ber remodled.

There was an animated conver sation on the street corner fcatur dav nieht between a few ol our representative young men. The subject was politics and concerned men who have attained fame and fortune in state and national politics. One of the group remarked that he would like to be at the head ot the ereat political machine ot the state. He believed that he could gather enough of the world's goods in a years term in sucn a position to retire and hve in peace and content ment for the balance of his life. In his opinion, success in politics by fair means, these days is an utter impossibility. While there are evi dences in the present condition of affairs to support his contention, his ideas are bad. Be andcontinue poor voune man. while others p round you grow rich by fraud and disloyalty, be without place or power, bear the pain of disappointed hopes while others gain the ac complishment of theirs by flattery and deception, forego the gracious pressure of the hand for which others c'rinee and crawl. Wrap votirself in vour own virtue and seek a friend and your daily bread. If you in such a course grow gray with unblemished honor.give thanks and die.
