The Law Against fishing on Sunday. A well known lawyer gives the fol lowing opinion in regard to the fish ing law. "The legislator who drafted the new fishing law, evidently torgot all about Sunday fishing, or perhaps assumed that it was understood that no law abiding citizen would fish on Sunday, for he left out all reference to it. This law also repealed the old law providing for a fine for Sunday fishing, and so far as I can see per sons who so desire can fish all thev want to on the Sabbath without fear of arrest." Game Warden Malloy of Hazleton says : " The new fishing law is silent on the matter of prohibiting fishing on Sunday. My attention was called to this some time ago, and I wrote to the commissioner about it and he replied that he could not cive me a decis'on." "Then you would cot undertake to arrest any person for fishing on Sunday ?" he was asked. "No, he replied. " I would not care to take the risk of taking such person before a justice of the peace. I would arrest anvone for huntint? on Sunday, but so far as I can judge I cannot legally do so for Sunday fish ing." Redeeming War Stamps. Since the repeal of the war taxes the treasury department has had a large torce constantly employed in counting and preparing for redemption and destruction the various classes nf adhesive stamps required under the law which imposes the war taxes. I he stamp division has iust com- pleted the counting and cancellation of the largest claim for redemption ever presented. It contained over $45,000 worth of 1 cent stamps and weighed several tons. Twentv ner- sons were occupied thirty days in counting the stamps. Many packages of greater value than this have been received at the treasury, but none of sucn great weight. It is said that more than 00 rer cent, of the war revenue stamps have been redeemed. Health " For 25 years I have never missed taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla every spring.

Bloomsburg, Pa., April 25 th 1903 At a meeting of the proprietors and employes of Moyer Bros, held this afternoon the following resolutions were read and adopted: Whereas, It has pltased Almichty God in His wise providence to remove suddenly by death our fellow employe and co-'aborer, Paul I. Traub. Whereas, In the death of Paul we have lost a genial, obliging, couitecm and respected fellow employe and dear friend, and his family a son and brother. Resolved, That to the bereaved father and mother and brothers we would extend our heartfelt sympathy in this their' hour of darkness and sorrow, but fully recognizing how inadequate is human sympathy to soothe the gell ing and wounded heart, we would affectionately commend them to Him who is ever willing to wipe the falling tear from the eye of the mourner and to soothe the spirit into submission to the righteous will of Him who chastises in mercy, who wounds to heal. Therefore be it further Resolved, That in respect and esteem of our friend Paul, the store be closed at the hour of the funeral and all the employes attend in a body. Kesolved, 1 hat a copy of these re solutions be sent to the family ot our deceased fellow worker and also be published in the town papers. John L. Moyer, L. N. Moyer, Wm. E. Rinker, Thos, V.

Our readers will re-call reading an article in this paper some time aco in reference to a smooth-tongued guy buying up a lot of old newspapers irom several newsdealers at Blooms- burp, and with whom he failed to make a settlement before leaving the town. He claimed to reptesent the Miller Paper Company, of this city. and that they had a pulp mill near Shamokin. His method was to have the paper shipped to a certain point, and then dispose of the shipping re ceipts, not forgetting, however to udd to the original weight. As the ship pers were unable to produce the origi nal shipping receipts the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company refused to allow the owners to re-claim the property. Later the same was adver tised at public sale, and took place Saturday morning at ten o'clock, the purchaser being W. L- Chester, of shamokin, his bid being 48 cents per hundred pounds, and the total weight 4,248 pounds. The sale realized $20.39. Auctioneer Fred Waltz con ducted the sale. Sunbury Daily. Hi Strawberries Injured. The cold weather has again aroused the fears of farmers and other persons for the safety of the fruit crop. There is no doubt that the recent cold spell has had a disastrous effect upon the fruit and berry crops. One farmer reports that his strawberry crop will be a total failure. The stalks were full of blossoms until the cold spell, since which time the blossoms have turned black, showing that they were killed by the low temperature.
