THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. TIIURSIAY, ATKIL y , 1903. WM. OaiST IS TEE MI313TRY. Rev. William Lloyd Crist was ordained as a minister of the Gospel t Shenandoah, Iowa, on February 15. He will be remembered by many of our readers, be having formerly resided here. When in Bloomsburg be was employed as a compositor on the Sentinel and he also worked off and on in the Re publican office. Before coming to Bloomsburg he resided at Pine Summit. In speaking of the service the Missionary World of Shenan doah, Iowa says: A most precious ordination service was held at the Missionary Headquarters at Shen andoah, Wednesday, February 25. Alter careful inquiry and examina tion, W. L. B. Crist was set apart for the Gospel ministry by the lay ing on of hands, and prayer. Mr. Crist has been in Gospel work, for fiveyearspast. He finished a course of Bible study at Moody Institute in Chicago. In addition to evangelistic work, he has been doing pastoral work for the Congregational Church at Kensal, North Dakota, the past year. His sermon at Shenandoah, the evening preceding his ordina tion, showed him in every way cap able for the great work upon which he has entered. He spoke from Dan. xii. 3. Good results cannot but come from our brother's min istry. TEAOHEBS IN SESSION. The Teachers' Club held the last meeting of the present school year in ihe High School building Tuesday evening. There was a good attend ance, and a deep interest was mani fested. Papers were read by Miss Allen on "The Moravians," Harry S. Barton, "The Mint," Miss Hayman, "The Daughters of Pennsylvania," Miss Moyer, "Higher Institutions of Learning," Miss Fox, "Sons of Penn sylvania," Miss Robbins, " Philanthro pists of Pennsylvania;" Mr. Kressler, "Commercial Advantages of Penn sylvania's Waterways" and Samuel Pursel on " Local Waterways." An open discussion previous to the reading of the above papers, showed a unanimity of opinion that the year just drawing to a close has been a successful one in every way. "Wandering Willie" in Trouble Wandering Willie Setley, the ball tosser, who is probably known in every city of any size or importance in the United States is again in the toils. This time the charge is big amy. It appears that he recently married a girl of seventeen years at Utica, N. Y., and now another wife whom according to the charge he married at Camden, N. J. on the 13th of August, 1893 has appeared on the scene. Willie says that it is all a mistake, that he pitched a game ot ball for Bloomsburg on the date in question, and he wants a copy of the local papers containing an account of the game, that he may be able to substintuate his claim. Left Bob Fitzsimmons Penniless Bob Fitzsimmons, the fighter, is practically penniless, owing to the fact that Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who died last week, left no will. Mrs. Fitz simmons had $100,000 and the house she and the family lived in at Bat'i Beach. The money and property, under die law, go to her children, and Fitz simmons, who fought 100 and more battles in the ring in the past 20 years to win the fortune, can have none of it, except the use of the house as a domicile during his life. Fitzsimmon's earnings were always deposited to his wife's credit in the bank. A Pittsburg preacher who is op posed to dancing says that the saw buck and wash-tub will give a more graceful carriage. Oh, what's the use ? THE OLD RELIABLE poitder Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE 111 g Misrepresentation fie Sajs- The writer was approached by a rustic resident of the upper end ou Monday, who had a sad story to re late, lie had been swindled, so he had said out of a bunch of money by the trickery of a stock manipula tor. We didn't care to be inquisi tive, although he showed a desire to explain the whole transaction, so we parted before the name of the fellow who handled the money had been made known. The "lamb" that is fleeced these days deserves his fate. Anyone with no more sense than properly belongs to a child out of swaddling clothes must j realize at a glance the tremendous ! perils in the speculative situation ns it is just now. Precedent and tradi tion indicate that such a panic of 1 purchase as has prevailed in Blooms burg for some time past is liable, if not certain to be succeeded by a panic of "realization". The inevit able reaction that has been predict ed will come some day and with all the more precipitancy and violence because ot its postponement. It is probably true that a beneficent deity tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, j but a wise lamb will prefer to hold on to his fleece and be indebted to Providence simply for good inten tions. For such as shall presently stand in want of a modification of j the blasts there need be small sympathy. The signs of the im-1 ' pending tempest must be many and ! imnracciirA trt all hut thf vrif;t ! mutton-head. , . Hormal's Schedule- We present below the schedule of the Normal School base ball team. Manager Sutliff has spared neither trouble nor expense in ar ranging this, one of the best j schedules the school has ever had and the lovers of the sport in town should show their appreciation by j a liberal patronage.

Brothers Lose $80 in a Lumber Gamp- The Hughesville Mail says that ou Thursday of last week the men em ployed at the lumber camp of Charles W. Sones, about four miles from Eagle's Mere, received their month's wages, and all retired that night happy. Upon rising on Friday morn ing the happiness of two brothers named Simmon was turned to sorrow, as they discovered that while they slept some person had stolen all their Lmoney, amounting to about $8o.W A systematic search of the camp was made, but without success. At a meeting of the congregation of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, held at the close of the regular ser vice Sunday evening, it was de cided to extend a call to Rev. J. K. Byers, who for the past five years has been pastor of the Lutheran Church at Pennbrooke, Pa. He is a graduate of the Theo!ogical Semi nary, Gettysburg, and preached in the church here three weeks ago. Whether lie will accept or not, is not yet known. x A girl was recently caught kiss ing her sweetheart and her mother gave her a caustic lecture. The girl defended herself by saying that she was only following the teaching of her Bible, and when asked to ex plain, quoted: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you do ye even so unto them." The mother was stricken speechless. THE COLUMBIAN, Dizzy? Appetite poor? Bowels con stipated? It's your liver! Ayer's Pills are liver pills.

Hill 1c Co., Niihui.N.H Where Fishing is Good- In a letter to his brother Oscar, Louis Lowenberg, of Seattle, Wash ington, says that he fished for three quarters of an hour in Puget Sound the other day and caught ninety pounds of cod and herring ranging in weight from one and a half to three pounds. Some people may doubt the accuracy of the story but Senator Herring who had fished on the sound says that the fish are very plentiful and are easy to catch. Mr. Lowenberg has a very good position in a large clothing store and likes the country. In the letter he says he went out to see Jack Steveuton, last year's Normal star, pitch a game of ball. He was iu fiae form and is establishing him self as one of the best pitchers in the western League He also met George, better known perhaps as "Bungy" Reed, formerly of Dan ville, but who is well known in Bloomsburg, and had a long talk about old times. Carrie Nation cleared $3,000 on a recent trip to the Pacific coast and she has purchased a house in Topeka, Kansas, for dependent wives of drunkards. Miss Katie Stanley of Sixth street who for the past six weeks has been critically ill with nervous prostra tion is slowly recovering. Dr. Hower of MifQinville is atteudiug her. While excavating for the new court house at Wilkesbarre, work men found the remains of a rail road track 12 feet under ground. It was laid in 1868 by the Lehigh Valley along the old towpath to hold the right of way. At the Ferudale power works, north of Sheuandoah, young Sam uel Brobst, of Ringtown, while oil ing machinery, met death in an un usual form. His coat-tails, fanned by a draft, caught in the machinery holding him fast, and he was hurled around a line shaft for an hour be fore his body was discovered, hor ribly mangled. At a meeting of the Wheelmen Tuesday evening a committee of five was appointed to draw up a set of resolutions on the death of Paul Traub. It was also ordered that the club charter be draped iu mourn ing for a period of thirty days. This is the first death, in the club since its organization several years ago. " Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Deitterick and Mrs. William K. Deitterick of Espy were the only witnesses of a nuptail event which was solemnized in the parlor of the St. Elmo Hotel Monday alternoou. The bride was Mrs. Lavina Arter of Unityville and the groom T. B. Gordner of Pine Summit. Rev. J. D. Thomas of the Reformed church performed the ceremony. William Coffman who signed to play ball the coming season with Bingbamton returned home ou Sun day. He was spiked in a game against Syracuse on Tuesday, and was granted a leave of absence un til the wound heals. Although he promised the manager to return, it is just possible that he will remain in Bloomsburg. Out of six games played last week Binghauiton won four. Marvelous voices arc possessed by the singers with the great Barlow and Wilson's Minstrels. Among the vocalists are Thos. Ameor, the stereoptican singer; Geo. Lamber son, high baritones Lou Walsh, primo basso; R. E. Mace, baritone; and the wonderful basso profundo, Chas. McArdel. Willie Ross, the beauiiful boy vocalist from the choir of Grace church, Chicago, will ren der pretty ballads at each perform ance. At the Opera House Friday evening. In accordance with the bill which was signed by Governor Penny packer bullfrogs and terrapin have been placed in the category with other game and herealter will re ceive the protection of the state. The bill in part says that "It shall be unlawful to catch, take or kill any bullfrogs only from the first day of November to the fifteenth day cf March iu each year. Any person offending against this act shall be subject to a fine of $25 for every oflense." BLOOMSBURQ, PA. A Williamsport man, says the Dushore Review, cut the spurs off from a game rooster and turned him into a yard with another game cock, and let them fight until the spurless rooster was killed. He later paid $13 in a fine and costs for his cruelty and begged like a good fellow to have his name sup pressed. Why man, who was created a little lower than the angels, should make a brute of himself we fail to understand. J. G. Sherwood, of Moreland township, Lycoming Co., died at the home of his son, Levi, Thurs day morning last, at the age of eighty five years. He is survived by six children, as follows: Mrs. Henry Wilbur, of Carbondale; Levi, of Moreland; Mrs. Charles Berger, of Jordan; Mrs. Alexander Colley, of Benton; Philip, of Benton; Mrs. Alfred DeKald, of Fishing Creek. The funeral took place Saturday morning, from the M. E. church at Opps. It pays to be fair and square in this world whether you have a conscience or not. A whole lot of money will not recompense one for the loss of his character and conse quent self-respect. The shifty, two-faced unreliable man may make some sharp trades and gather in some coin by his dishonest games but in the long run he will get the worst of it. lie will some time be estimated at his true worth and passed by as not wanted, the same as a bogus dollar or a counterfeit bill. Chief of Police Adam Clayberger of Berwick brought Paul Thiele of Nescopeck to Bloomsburg aud placed him in the keeping of Sheriff Knorr to await the May term of court. The prisoner is a self con fessed thief, he having admitted be fore 'Squire Beishline that he stole a pair of hoise clippers, a pair of gloves and a set of harness from D. W. Mitchell & Son, liverymen of Berwick. He sold the articles to liveryman Ruch of Berwick. Mit chell & Son, however, regained possession of them. Tioga county, Pennsylvania, has 37 granges and a combined mem bership of some 2,000. They have both a fire and life insurance com pany. The former carries risks aggregating some $2,500,000. The county is spun over with farmers telephones and the rural mail car rier will soon traverse every road. At their recent Pomona, held at Wellsboro, the members of Marsh field Grange rendered music that would make professionals look to their laurels and a troup from Charleston Union Grange played a drama in 0 way that gave the large audience a delightful evening. The chief element of a nation's strength is not fleets and armies, nor yet expanse of territory nor manufactures and commerce. Na tions have had all of these and died. To be secure a Republic must rest on the intelligence, integrity and patriotism of the masses. To be truly patriotic a man must have some interests at stake. The man who owns his hearthstone, the shelter and support of his loved ones will fight and, if need be, die for it. How much of America's great ness is due to the fact that her broad acres are yet largely owned by the men who till them. If the weather of yesterday can be taken as any indication, we may expect the real article when the summer is a little further advanced The mercury was up above the sura mer heat mark at noon and there was a wholesale discarding of winter clothes. The heat was probably more noticeable because it came so suddenly. Upon looking over our data of last year we find that the tnermometer on the tuirtietu reg istered eighty-six degrees, which was several degrees warmer than it was yesterday. Last night many of our people were sitting out on the porches, reminding one more of June than an April night. In January, farmer N. J. Bach elder, the Master of the New Hamp shire State Grange and the lecturer of the National Grange, was in augurated Governor of the old Granite State. Gov. Bachelder was nominated by acclamation and triumphantly elected, not because be was a farmer or a ration of Husbandry but because " A man's a man for a' that" and no heartier words of approval cm come from any source than appeared at the time of the announcement of his candidacy 111 the columns of the most influential paper published iu the State by his political opponents. 1 he church, the little red school house and the Grange hall are the three most powerful agents of civili zation iu our country to-day.

"k!$ kSxii SUCCESSOR TO J Collision on Tuesday Two cars on the Electric Railway collided a short distance below Ber wick Tuesday evoning, severely in juring a number of passengers who were thrown from one side ot the car to the other by the violent im part. Page Hawkins sustained a fractured rib, Charles Stcokey a lacerated face, Bruce Hidlay, con ductor, a sprained back and several others were more or less injured. The crash it appears was the result of running the cars too close to gether. The one was the regular and the other was an extra filled with employees of the American Car and Foundry Co. who live along the line of the road. The regular stopped to discharge a pas senger and the extra was so close behind that the motorman could not stop in time to prevent the col lision. FVur little Australian boys, the oldest 14 years and the youngest 5 arrived at South Bethlehem on Tuesday after having made the trip across the Atlantic alone. They were covered with taijs and direct ions for their safe delivery and were met at the station by their parents. At the last regular meeting of Mapleton Grange, No. 1134, Hunt ingdon county, the Deputy in spected the books and the work ings of the grange generally and found everything correct. This grange does a large business with grange business houses and has never lost a cent. In the grange farmers learn to do business iu a business way. The May bippincott'i Magazine. "Lippincolt's Magazine" keeps up its rep utation for publishing a strong, bright novel each month by presenting in the May number one of even more than usual interest bv (Jeorge Gibbs. This is called "The Love of Monsieur," anil, ns the title implies, it is l-'renchy, with a hero who is "a damon for success with petticoats." I lis Inst love is a fetching conception, well worth the quarrels she provokes. Among the hort stories there is one hV Seumas MncManus, called "Caitlin Dhu." The fight between Irish rivals is described in a way which stirs sporting blood. Readers have come to look with eagerness for Ella Middlcton Tybout's darky parable sketches. "Ananias of l'okelown" will not disappoint those who seek amu-ement, and Miss Tybout has a gift for writing diMect which mnkes it as easy to read as "rolling off a log." " The Sorrow of a Setter," by Cy Warman, is a pathetic tile of a hunting dog's old aee. Clifford Howard's lively little Mnty called "The Winning of Margaret Merviu" tells cleverly how two men waste time trying to settle which one shall have the first chance witnmie gin mey ooin love. Aieanwntie tne girl settles it for herself by marrying the "dark horse," so to speak. The name Montgomery II. Ccrse is not a familiar one, therefore his admirable story called "How l'titz Lost His Job" will attract attention buth for the way it is done and bc- cause of its timeliness to the labor question. "That Other Kxp.dition," by Jerome Case Hull, is a love-story of an unusual sort and a g od sort, l'r.incis I ymlc's tale cilled "raquale" tun to do with an heroic Italian interpreter and an express agent, and is well told. A lovely natuie sketch suited to the month is by Ur. Charles C. Abbott, entitled "I Go A-Maying." There are other articles of equal interest. ooooooooooog Albert Williams, of Coles Creek, has the palm for catching the largest trout. On Monday he extracted from Fishing Creek at a point near the Coles Creek bridge a trout measuring twenty-two aud a half inches and weighing three pounds and nine ounces. The catch is really a remarkable one, and is the largest caught not only this season but for several previous seasons. Mr. Williams presented the fish to his sou-in-law, II. R. F.eimard of town. Tte May Mo'Jlure's-All the Old and Some Hew Merits. The May McClure's which Is print ed in a now type, repeats the chief ex cellencies of the recent splendid issues of that Magazine and adds Home of iu own. All who have read in former numbers Lincoln Stefl'i'iis's grent arti cles on St. Louis niul Minneapolis and their bosses, will turn llrxt tc h la ac count in May of " Pittsburg: A Citv Aslmtnetl," and of her boss, " Chris Magee. Jt Is another remarkable story, told in Mr, Ktetleiis's characteristic way. Two full page drawings Pitts burg by night and by day by Jules Gtierin, give distinction to the whole. Professor Simon Neweomb, the dean of American Astronomers, contributes me loaumg article, a most interesting forecast of "The End of the World." This articlo is tellluglv illustrated by Henri Lanos. " Waifs of the Street," by Ernest Poole, is a forcible picture of the real life of newsboys and boot blacks. Miss Tarbell's Standard Oil install ment deals dramatically with "The Crisis f 1878 "the story of the Stand ard aggressions of that year that cul minated in the indictment of Mr. Rockefeller and his colleagues on the charge of criminal conspiracy. Mary E. Wilkins's "The Happy Day," is a story of a French peasant fumily who went up to Paris one disiu.l. rainy Ascension Day to view the great Expo sition. Mary Stewart Cutting's " A Little. Surprise," is a most amusing comedy or maybe it is tragedy of what Mrs. Cutting calls the "supreme stroko of suburban fate" missing the lustfrrry home. Orace S. Richmond has a very witty love story " The Argument for the Defense;" and in "The Banshee's Hallowe'en," Her minie Templeton's original Irishman Darby O'Uill, has another divertiug encounter with the powers of the air, " Dead aud Down," by John It. Gill, is a line story of the north woods Arthur Stanwood Pier's novel, "The Triumph," continues. The verse is contributed by Witter Bynuer aud Florence Wilkinson. ELECTION NOTICE.
