8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1903. the wheelmen surprised. The Friendies turned the tables on the Wheelmen Tuesday evening. The latter imported White from Berwick for the occasion but the fire laddies didn't appear to have any difficulty in finding him. In the second inning they bumped him for four clean hits in succession which netted three runs. The de feat, however cannot be attributed to White. He should have won but with the ragged support he re ceived victory was out of the ques tion. Sharpless tor the Wheelmen played a beautiful game both at the bat and in the field. In one inning he retired the whole side on assists. Coffman too, was on his toes all the time and his throws to first went orer on a line. The crowd was the largest since the normal games, and the sport was thoroughly enjoyed. Now the series is a tie each having won a game, and the Wheelmen have posted $50 that they can win the "rubber". Following is Tues day's score: Friendships 040030 18 Wheelmen 0330 1 006 Batteries Friendship, Savitts and Edgar; Wheelmen, White and Rinker. Hits, Friendships, Wheel men 12.

When all is said and done there is nothing better for most people, old or young, fat or lean, rich or poor, than walking. It can always be made in teresting by the simple device of using a watch to time, even if pretty and pleasant walks cannot be found. It is good for all the digestive organs, good for the complexion, good for the temper. It costs nothing and makes nobody ridiculous. It can be gradu ated to suit all strengths, from that of the delicate woman of fifty-6ve, who finds a leisurely mile of an afternoon enough for her, to the robust but over busy man of eight and thirty, who gets up an hour earlier in the morning to put in a fast five miles on the high road, change and rub down, and go to business feeling ten years younger. And best of all it is in the open air. Social at Stillwater. The Zion Missionary Society will hold an ice cream Social at the home of Mr. James Geisinger at Stillwater, on Saturday evening Aug. 8th.

The groom is a popular and trusted employee of the Berwick Store Company, and they will make their home in that town. The bride's manv friends in Bloomsburg extend felicitations. SAW THE 8AL- A week ago Sunday evening the seal that escaped at Binghamton and came down the Susquehanna River was seen at Towanda. He was going up stream, and was seen the next day at Athens sixteen miles further up. At Towanda seven boats were out trying to catch him. He would come to the surface and flop around until a boat approached him, when he would dive, and come up again fifty or more feet away. Some shots were fired at him but did not take effect. There is a reward of three hundred dollars for his capture. The river bank was lined with people and among those who saw the seal were Miss Marie Funk and Miss Mable Neal of Bloomsburg, who were visiting Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Elwell at the time. A Court House Wedding Justice of the peace Jacoby of ficiated at a wedding in the Pro thonotary's office in the Court House Monday morning. The parties to the nuptial contract were Howard B. Sutliff and Miss Maud Lillian Ennis, both of Wilkes-Barre.

The bride was quite prepossessing in appearance, stylish ly gowned, and the groom was neatly dressed in a becoming suit of black. They made a very nice looking couple. Those who wit nessed the ceremony were the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ennis, Prothonotary Terwilliger, Freeze Quick and H. Mont Smith. Assault and Battery John Hummel of Espy was the defendant in an assault and battery case, before Squire Jacoby yester day morning. The charge was preferred by J. E. Sweigart, also of Espy.

Hummel went to the house Mon day night to take the children away, Sweigart objected, and during an altercation that followed he was struck several times on the head. The case was settled by the defendant restoring the children and paying the costs. Sweigart, it js claimed is morally unfit to have charge of the children and an appli cation will be made to the Court to have them taken away from them. Bought Land in Bloomsburg. Thos. B. Miller, of Wilkes-Barre. agent for the Peoples Encyclopedia, has purchased the vacant lot on the extension of Third Street, from William E. Shaffer, and will build a double brick dwelling on it.

Deputy revenue collectors, have been notified to rigid'y enforce the law prohibiting the sale of plug tobac co from any but stamped boxes after November 1st. The penalty is two years' imprisonment and $200 fine. The law is aimed at the retailers, who take plug tobacco out of the boxes upon which the proper government stamp has been placed and put it in display cases. The law requires that plug tobacco shall be kept in the stamped box until it is sold to a cus tomer. This is done to prevent deal ers from selling tobacco upon - which the tax has not been paid. The or der will aftect all small dealers as it is usually their custom to take the goods from the boxes, cut into five and ten cent plugs and put in display cases.

There is an abundance of proof that night air is injurious to no one. On the con trary, people who sleep outdoors under the mere protection of a tent are the healthiest of all people, and the prac tice has largely gained in popularity of late years, under wider knowledge of hygiene, for people of delicate health to go in camping parties and breath the balsam of night air. Shade Trees are Protected. The right of a borough over trees standing within the street lines has been decided in Lycoming county. In Picture Rocks an old church build ing is being moved,- and it became necessary to cut down certain shade trees in order to move the building through the streets. The borough granted the contractors the right to cut the trees. The parties in front of whose property stood the trees in question asked for an injunction ; re straining the borough from cutting the trees. A temporary injunction was granted, and upon argument this in junction was made permanent. This makes it pretty plain that a borough cannot cut and slash shade trees at their own sweet will.
