Mrs. George Troutman, whose
many excellent traits of character
made her respected aud esteemed by
all who knew her, died at her home
in Centralia on Tuesday evening of
last week. Though unwell for a
period of several weeks her illness
was not looked upon as serious un
til Monday evening when she was
stricken with paralysis, and the end
came quickly. Mrs. Troutman was
62 years of age and leaves a hus
band and two children.
It is claimed that there has been
more real estate transfers in Blooms
burg during the past winter than
for a number of years. This is an
indication that things are brighten
ing up. Still further evidence ot
promised prosperity is the fact that
there is a large aud steady demand
for houses, notwithstanding that
rents are being advanced. From
Catawissa aud Light Street come re
ports that in those towns the same
condition prevails. It is certain that
there will be no vacant houses the
coming spring.
Wouldn't it be a good move for
our citizens to make an effort to get
a special or reformatory school es
tablished in Bloomsburg or vicinity,
as mentioned in the school Jaw of
1901, to be supported wholly or iu
part by the state. We believe
there are none within a radius of
fifty miles or more. We have ideal
locations for such a school and are
surrounded by populous counties
where none exist. Our members
might be urged to take a little in
terest in the matter. We are in
formed that if Ralph Crossley had
been accompanied by another pupil
to Protectory one ot them would
have been brought back to Blooms
burg as the institution was full.

The first number of the students'
lecture course was given last Mon
day night by Jacob Riis of New
York, author of "How the other
half lives," "Children of the Poor,"
etc. His subject was "The battle
with the slum," illustrated with
lantern slides. It was an interest
ing tale of the work in New York
City to better the condition of the
poor. Mr. Riis' idea is that so long
as children are raised in the slums
that when the boys grow to be men
they will cast slum votes, and there
fore not only that city but the whole
country suffers.
C. H. Yeaerer and C. H. Hoffman
were arrested chareed with stealing

the day and was on his way home.
He stopped at the Adams Hotel in
Catawissa township, and while he
was inside the chickens and turkey
were taken. When he emerged
from the hotel, the two men in ques
tion were observed running away.
Hoffman was discharged there be
ing no evidence against him, and
Yeager was held to bail for court.

TALK
I TO ORDER
Did you ever try to buy glasses and could not find a pair that you could'
2 see through ? Did you make up your mind from this that you did not need "
glasses ? Did you go on suffering from htadache and eyestrain, because there
there was no relief ? This has been the experience of hundreds of people.
2 The secret of the matter is that they need glasses made for them. No ready- "
made glass in the would will ever fit their eyes or prove a benefit. My business
is to lake the measure of the eyes and order glasses made especially for them.
S If there are weak muscles or defective nerves, I see that the glasses put them 5
0 into normal condition. If I have glasses in stock that fulfill all requirements, m
I fit them for you while you wait. Otherwise I send to the factory for them.
J They must fit you perfectly in every way. JJ
