celebrated Catawissa Band, under the
lirection of Prof. Smith has been en
raged for the occasion and will give a
sacred concert, afternoon and even
ing. The reputation of this organiza

comment at this time. The Columbia

tions for all who may desire to visit
the Park. Shawnee is universally
considered to be the most picturesque
ind delightful spot along the river,

MIFfLIHVILLE BRIDGE
Appeal ot Penna. Railroad Co. Diimiued.
Judge Little decided that the ap.
proach to the Mifflinville bridge
should cross the tracks of the Penn
sylvania R. R. Co. at grade on the
Mifflinville end. From this decision
the Railroad Company appealed to the
Supreme Court. Ordinarily this
would have postponed the hearing ot
the case until 1904, and would have
stopped work on the bridge until the
case was disposed ot, but on applica
tion ot counsel for the company the
case was advanced, and ordered to be
heard at Harrisburg on June 1st.
This was done, and on Tuesday last
the court dismissed the appeal of the
R. R. Co. "without prejudice." We
understand this to mean that legally
an appeal was not the proper remedy
in this proceeding, but that if the
company should take any other steps
to secure an overhead crossing they
would not be prejudiced by any pro
ceedings in this case. As the matter
now stands the approach to the bridge
will cross the tracks at grade.

Railroad Bridge Destroyed-
The two span bridge over Cata
wissa Creek on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, a short distance below the
station at Catawissa was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning. A spark from
the ten o'clock freight train locomo
tive ignited the structure, and in less
than fifteen minutes, it was destroyed.
A force of a hundred and fifty men
are at work building a temporary
trestling. Trains are being run by
way of Rock Glen Junction.

On Tuesday about the first berries
of home culture were brought to
town from over the river. They
were nice ones and brought 20 cts.
The dry season has injured the
crops hereabouts and the supply
will be limited, nud the price is
likelv to soar.
Commencement Week.
Continued from lit page
department ot elocution in the pub
lic schools for. the past two years,
and to her teaching should be
given the credit for the marked
improvement that has been made
in this branch. Her pupils recite
selections now which a tew years
ago were attempted only by trained
elocutionists, and they do them
well. The old days have passed
away when on Friday afternoons
the boys were called on to speak
before the school, and they rattled
through "You'd scarce expect one
of my age,- to speak in public on
the stage" in a monotone, unaccom
panied by a gesture. And the girls
read compositions with voices so
inaudible that it was impossible to
tell whether the subject was the
"Beautiful Flowers," or "Mother,
Home, and Heaven." Now, under
intelligent instructiou, the pupils
give us really artistic performances,
apparently without embarrassment,
and in a manner that indicates that
it is a pleasure to them as well as
to their hearers. For this condi
tion of things in the public schools.
Miss Houser is to be thanked, and
the school board is to be com
mended for securing the services of
so competent an elocution teacher.
But elocution is only one of the
branches in which our schools
excel. Bloomsburg has great rea
son to be proud of her public
schools, and their present high
standard is due to the progressive-
ness of an intelligent board of
directors, and to the very able
superintendency of Prof. L. P.
Sterner, and the efficient corps of
teachers. That the schools are ap
preciated is evidenced by the fact
that every seat in the Opera House
was sold for every evening.

UIDEON HEIST.
Gideon Heist died at his home last
night, from heart failure. He had
not been in good health for some
years, but his death was sudden and
unexpected. He was born in this
county in 1843 and lived here all his
life. He served in the army in 1863.
In 1868 he married Elizabeth Wright
of Bloomsburg, who bore three child
ren, George G., Boyd A., and Mrs.
Harriet L. Searles. In 1893 he
married Martha J. Welliver, who sur
vives him. He followed farming,
contracting, and other lines, and was
a quiet unassuming man, and a good
citizen. Funeral arrangements have
not yet been announced.
Home Wedding.
The home of Mr. and Mrs.
Daniel Force, who reside about a

township. Rev. W. R. Mathers of
Rohrsburg was the officiating clergy
man. At the conclusion of the
ceremony a sumptuous wedding
supper was served, and of which
