THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG. PA. TltUKSl'AV, JUNE 8, 1903. THE STATE AT A GLANCE. The War Department has an nounced its apportionment of the $2,000,000 appropriated by the Dick bill for the better equipment of the National Guard of the differ ent States. Pennsylvania gets $67,973- The Scranton Republican figures out that the people of Scranton drink 18,500 quarts of milk a day, costing $1,100, and 43,680 quarts of beer a day, costing $4,368. A notable nuptial event took place in Trinity Episcopal church, Williamsport, Thursday, when Wil.iam O. Hickok, of Harrisburg, and Miss Avis Cochran, daughter of Senator J. Henry Cochran, were married. The preparations lor the wedding were on a very elaborate scale. George W. Coolbaugh, editor and proprietor of the Telegram, a real estate journal of Wilkes-Barre, dropped dead late Monday after noon in the office of the county controller. The deceased was fifty years of age. Death was due to poplexy. " Williamsport is to have a new industry called the Hopkins Hull ed Cereal company. In addition to hulling and preparing com and cereals for the trade, tomatoes, pumpkins and other vegetables will be canned and Saratoga chips will be made. . , The Girard estate is construct ing a wall around the reservoir and timber preserves on North Mahonoy Mountain. The wall will be two miles long, five feet high and be made of stone laid dry. This plan, it is believed will preserve the young timber from forest fares and cattle depredations and the timber pre served will insure a better water supply for the collieries. The report of coal being found on the Smith farm at Seliusgrove are proving to be correct. A vein of eight feet has been reached and the coal burns well. An expert who has looked over the property says that he is confident first class coal could be found by going deep er. The veins will be proved thor oughly and a breaker near Selins grove is among the possibilities. The big meat packing houses set out to corner the egg market and loaded up with eggs last spring at about an average cost to them of fourteen cents. Interest and storage charges ran the price up to about seventeen cents, and they are now unloading at ten cents. The old hen is a iiard proposition to corner. Everybody keeps her. The cold storage egg belongs in the same class with renovated butter. Old eggs are harder to pass off as fresh ones than old maids as young girls. Acts passed by the last Legis lature relating to the education of the children in Pennsylvania have all been compiled and pamphlet has made its appearance in the depart ments. There are twenty acts which affect the education laws of the State and are of vital interest to the trustees and teachers of schools. Representative Snyder's bill regu lating the salary of school teachers, and making the minimum salary paid to any teacher by any district receiving State aid $35 per month, is on the eighth page of the pamph let, and while it is one of the short est acts passed it is nevertheless the most important to the teachers and the State in general. Upon the failure of any district to pay its 'eachers the sum of $35 a month, the appropriation lrom the State shall be withdrawn for the length of time the act is violated. The bill met with a strong op position in both branches of the Legislature, but it finally passed, and was signed by the Governor on April 9, less than ten days after it left the halls of the Legislature The other nineteen Dills all bear directly upon the schools of the State. Dr. S. S. Pond, Professor of chemistry in the Pennsylvania State College, made several assays of ore from the mines of the Alta Idaho Gold and Copper Mining Company, of Pardee, Idaho. This ore was dug out of these mines by Charles M. Harder, of Catawissa, during bis visit to that place a short time ago. The result of the assays of the ore which he brought home with him is as follows : Copper 57.87 percent, 25.02 per cent, 5.52 per cent, 5.9 per cent. The assays show values in silver as high as $18.00 a ton, and some gold values Other rssays have been made of ore from these mines which show gold vanies 01 43 -00 ana 54.00 per ion. The Democratic State L'onvpn tion will be held at Harrisburg on bept. 2nd. DECISION OF COURT. In Case of W. C. Rlchart vs William Krum. Application Dismissed. The preliminary injunction which was granted by the court up on petition of the plaintiff in the case of W. C. Richart vs William Krum was dissolved by Judge Little on Monday. The case is one of more than ordinary interest, and for that reason, though we presented all the facts in the case when it was before the court at the May term when the preliminary injunction was granted, we herewith again give a history of the case. It appears that at the time of the construction of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad through Montour township, about fifty years ago, Joseph Mauser, now dead, was the owner of two tracts of land adjoin ing said railroad. One tract con tained fifty acres and the other sixty five acres. On the fifty acre tract there was a lime kiln, and in order to provide Mr. Mauser with shipping facilities for the product of the kiln, the railroad company constructed a switch or siding. Mr. Mauser then opened a lane or drive way from the public road in to the railroad. Upon the death of Mr. Mauser, his son, David Mauser, be came the owner of the fifty acre tract and Isaiah Hagenbuch pur chased the other tract. From the time of the construction of the switch and opening of the roadway, dating back in 1855, everybody looked upon the lane as a public highway, and used it as such when going to and from the switch. In the early fart of the present year Isaiah Hagenbuch leased the lane to W. C. Richart and he shortly thereafter, secured a temporary injunction restraining William Krum, who persisted in using the lane after having beeu no tified to desist. In dissolving the injunction the court says: "Clark Richart, the complainant, did not acquire by the lease of Isaiah Hagenbuch made April 1, 1903, the sole and exclusive use to the private road or lane therein des cribed. The preliminary injunc tion heretofore granted should be dissolved. Now June 15. 1903, after hearing and upon considera tion, it is ordered and decreed that the preliminary injunction hereto fore granted be and the same is hereby dissolved". FROM COURT E0U8E CORRIDORS. Its too much trouble to ccme all the way to Bloomsburg for a mar riage license, or at least that's what a Numedia man thinks.

Continued (torn 1st page Bloomsburg and other people in trested in the town, to donate each a particular book which would be of real value to the Library. As a result of this scheme the Library received to be spent for books $850 in cash and checks, and about 1500 vols., most of which are valuable books. Owing to the generosity of the recipients of the book-receptirn circulars, the Library will open with about 4000 vols. Since January 12 the Library De partment has received through private and club douatiotis, con certs, rummage sales, rubber sales, etc., over $720. This fact has made it possible for the Department to pay ail bills for Library supplies, rent, printing, salaries, etc., which have been presented and to turn the Library over to the Board of Directors with practically no in debtedness and with a small surplus in the treasury. IMPORTANT INFORMATION. The library has been classified and catalogued according to the most generally approved methods of library science. The Dewey Deci mal Classification has been used. This scheme was devised by Melvil Dewey of the New York State Librarv and is used in almost all of the up-to date libraries of America. A card catalog has been made, arranged in three alphabetical lists: Author, title aud subject. If the borrower wishes to know what books the library contains, of a particular author say F. Marion Crawford, he will go to the author list, run over the cards which are alphabetically arranged until he comes to Crawford, where Jie will find all the books arranged alpha betically according to the title (the articles "the" "a" and "an" are always omitted and the entry made under the word following the arti cle.) Another borrower may come in knowing the name of the book he is interested in, but not the author. He should consult the title list where he will find the author, and thus be able to secure the book number of the volume wanted. Another borrower may wish to know what lives of Lincoln are on the shelves, or what books the Library contains on chemistry, U. S. History, etc., he will consult the subject list, also an alphabetical one, and in a moment ascertain just what the Library has to offer along the line of his needs. Instead of arranging the cards in three sepa rate lists, very oiten they are filed in one straight alphabet, running author, title and subject entries to gether. For people not accustomed to using a card catalog, the filing of author, title and subje:t cards separately rather simplifies learning to use tne catalog intelligently. In order to enable borrowers most quickly to learn where the different classes of books are to be found, labels will be placed on the different shelves containing the words : Fiction, History, Travel, Biography, New Books, Science, Juvenile Books, etc. as the case may be, thus enabling all interested to get a general idea of the number and quality of the books in each class. Borrowers will be allowed to go to the shelves to pick their own books or the librarians will hunt up any books to be loaned which will be carried to the Librarian' sdesk where they will be charged to the borrower ine ruies ot tlie Ubrary in re gard to books will be found in every vol., on the book pocket, where the borrower s card is placed. Names of donors will be found in the front of each book, on the book plate. Owing to the fact that some of 1 the books ordered are out of print, I not all of the book-reception list I has beeu received at the library. I New selection. will be made in ! place of those not procurable, aiM '. when the exact amount of the dis ' count is ascertained it will be spent or reference books. ! The Library will be open for the circulation of books June 19th, the day after the formal opening. ' All those who have registered prior to June 18th can draw books at ojee, and all others, as fast as the formality of registering is gone through.

Ent, had two ribs fractured, and Reese M. Dawson was painfully bruised. Ex-Sheriff Hoffman and William Long were also in the wagon, but they escaped without injury. Hoffman was thrown out, but landed on his feet. Long jumped from the wagon when the horse started to run. The accident occurred toward the lower end of the grove, they having taken a short cut home, and was caused by the animal taking flight at thtnoise made by a cultivator falling against the front wheel of the wagon. The horse ran to the Hoffman barn, along the Espy road. Dr. John was summoned, and rendered medical assistance.
