All communications should le addressed THE COLUMBIAN, Lloomsburg, Pa. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER U. 1903 PA VINO MAIN 81REJt;T. Because Main street from Market Square to Center street is not to he paved this winter, the two daily papers have announced that the project has been "abandoned," the Vrsaing that "several property owners will force Council" to give up the paving. It is a mistake t o say that the project has been abandoned. It has only been postponed. The property owners who did not agree to pave now undoubtedly have very good reasons of their own for their action. One f these with whom we happen to itite intimately acquaiuted, has dready expended nearly a thousand .iollars in improvements and repairs vithiu the past few months, ou his premises, and feels that he is not called upon to put another hundred into the street to suit the pleasure of the public or of any individuals who have not had this extra ex pense to meet. Main street will be paved from end to eu'd within a very few years, but that result will not be accomplished by any attempt to cast odium upon those property owners who have not agreed on the jump to do it at once, and who have the presumptiou to think that they know more about their own affairs than some outside party can tell them. 0RQ4N RECITAL. An organ recital will be given in St. Paul's church on Thursdav evening, November 19th at 8.15 o'clock, by Mr. William Towell Twaddell, organist of Christ church, Rye, New York. He was formerly organist of St. Andrew's chinch, Philadelphia, and was a pupil of Geo. Edward Stubbs. the celebrat ed organist and composer. Mr. Twaddell is a fine performer, and the recital will be one of musical merit. Mrs. Marion Harjer-Miller will -play two selections on the violin, which will help to enrich and vary the program. She always delights an audience with her rare ability - on this instrument. The program is as follows : 1. Suite Gothique, F. Boellmann I. Introduction Choral, French II. Mcnuet gothique, J.

ROTE ST INDUSTRY DESTROYED Rupert was visited by a destruc tive fire on Friday evening, which completely wiped out of existence the keg mill owned by W. M Monroe. The bucket brigade, the village's only defense when fire breaks out, was on the scene short ly after the alarm was given, pre pared to do battle, but the spread of the flames was so rapid that their work had little effect aud was prac tically useless. The adjacent build ing, the residence of Henry New man, was threatened for a time, as was also the Reading reilroad trestling. The fire it is believed had !ts origin from a passing loco motive. The loss to Rupert is quite a severe one, as ths plant furnished employment to a number of men, and it will not be rebuit. The building was partially insured. IS THE 0033TY LIABLE- Samuel Goodman, through his attorney C. K. Kreisher, has insti tuted suit against the Count) , for the loss of five cows that were kill ed some time last March, and the question as to whether or not the County is liable for damages of this sort is to be contested in the Courts. The cows it will be remem bered, were victims of a mad dog. The result of the case will be await ed with considerable interest as many others have sustained similar losses from a like cause, aud if Mr. Goodman wins, other suits will follow. Vaccination the Ouly Preventative Owing to the prevalence of small pox in certain parts of the county, the following from George G. Graff, M. D., General Sanitary Inspector, of this state, will be of general in terest: First The true vaccination re peated until it no longer takes, always prevents smallpox. Noth ing else does. If you do not wish to have smallpox, get vaccinated. Second That pure vaccination that is, vaccination done on a clean arm and with pure lymph and kept perfectly clean and unbroken after wards never did and never will make a serious sore. Third True vaccination leaves a scar different from any other scar. This scar is easily recognized and is the ouly conclusive evidence of a successful vaccination. The "bad arms" and "very sore arms" are not true vaccinatious. Fourth No bad results ever fol low a true vaccination. Fifth Smallpox is now possible only because people neglect vacci nation. If all were successfully vaccinated iu iufaucy, and again at fifteen years of age, smallpox would soou die out. Sixth Save your friends and yourself much trouble by getting vaccinated before you tae small pox, and are quarantined. waMJKasjrerariaBHM " I bad a terrible cold end could hardly breathe. 1 then tried Aver't Cherry Pectoral, and it gave me im mediate relief."

At the meeting last Friday night Messrs Vanderslice, Rarton, Lowenburg, F.yer, and Hol mes were appointed a committee to make airangements for it. The Councils in Kansas City, Mo., have Instituted a one hundred day contest. The object is to haye one hundred new members in one hundred days ending Dec. 15th. The contest is to close with a ban quet at the Coates House at the ex pense of the Grand Council. A member bringing in one initiate be fore Dec. 15th recives an invitaiion to the banquet, or two initiates en titles him to an invitation for him self and lady. Grand Secretary Weis of Penn sylvania assisted at the institution of Col. Jacob Weiss Council in Weissport. The Council is named for the Grand Secreatry's great grandfather, who took the first specimen of anthracite coal to Philadelphia after its discovery in 1 79 1, and was for many years one of the leading promoters of the anthracite coal interests. The Council starts off under most pleas ant auspices and with such an in spiring record it should prosper. Leadville Council, No. 1 1 74, of Colorado, is the highest in the world, being located 10,200 feet above the level of the sea. It has just made a record which is in ac cordance with its high standing. In the presence of the Supreme Regent and Grand Officers on Sep tember 2 1st, the Council initiated a class of sixty-four new members. Seven others were approved and initiated at a subsequent meeting. This more than doubles the mem bership of the Council, and makes a net gain of over one hundred per cent. If you live a long distance from the Council write some of the of ficers a letter occasionally, to be read in Council, telling where you are and what you are Hoing. Friday night, November 20th, has been fixed for the open meeting. The program committee are Messrs Vanderslice, Barton and Eyer; Re freshment committee Messrs Housel Lee, Lowenberg, Knies and B. W. Furman; Iuvitation, Wilbur; Room, Caldwell and Clinton Furman. An interesting program will be provided and this gathering like all others that have been given by the R. A. will be a pleasant event. Peaceful Ending of a Long Lifd- Mainville's oldest and highly re spected resident, Joseph Geiger, is no more. His death occurred at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Benjamin Kreisher, in Mainville, about ten o'clock Saturday night. His health had beeu failing for a number of years, due principally to old age, but only for the past few months had he beeu unable to move about. Mr. Geiger iu his earlier life was a blacksmith and occupied the shop now conducted by his son. He was a man possessed of many sterling qualities and his quiet and correct deportment won the esteem of all. His death is a common sor row. The deceased was eight oue years of age, and leaves to survive him four children namely, Mrs. Benjamin Kreisher, Mrs. B. R. Yetter, M. M. Geiger, and W. II. Geiger, all residents ot Mainville. The funeral took place Tuesday morning. Rev. Reber conducted the services. Interment was made in the Reformed Church Cemetery at Mainville. A GUARANTEED A.TTBA0TI0N. Uncle Tom's Cabin has been given in Bloomsburg many and many times during the years that have parsed, but seldom if ever, has it been produced on the same grandeur and magnitude that the Gus Sun and Sam Harner present it. They will be here for one per formance on Monday evening next. This will be the one opportunity of seeing this great play produced as it should be, with the same great cast aud scenic and mechanical effects that delighted the mighty multitudes in the largest cities in America. One great difficulty is in finding opera houses of sufficient size to accommodate the many thousands of admiring people, who are always anxious to see the big elaborate productiou of the everlast ing and always enjoyable Uncle Tom's Cabiu. Well aware of the inferior make up of the latter-day Uncle Tom's Co's also that you have beeu barn stormed aud "Uncle Tomed" to death, we have spent much time, money and patience in organizing the grandest production of this grand old historical play ever of fered to the public since its birth and to this end we stand ready to forfeit $t 00.00 in cash to any manager playing us, if our attrac tion is not as represeuted. Mr. Guernsey, Piano Turner, Sue Next Guernsey, the well known and very popular piano tuner of Wilkes-Barre, who numbers among his patrons iu Bloomsburg the ow ners of about two hundred pianos, including the best musicians and most prominent people, will be here next week on his first regular trip for the winter season. To cover this large field of work his time will be required every third week from now until the middle of February. Mr. Guernsey does not advertise fictitious endorsement from prominent manufacturers, nor does he peddle his services from door to door as is customary with incompetent representatives of his profession to secure business. He depends upon those who know his ability, and preferring his work, di rect their orders to Columbian of fice, or to the Central Hotel where he stops when iu town. It is the pleasure of the editor of the Col umbian to personally recommend Mr. Guernsey in the highest terms, both as an artisan in his line, in which he has few equals and no su periors, and as an affable and cour teous gentleman with whom it is a pleasure to have business relations. According to figures compiled by the bureau of labor at Washington wages and the cost of living have almost kept pace with each other during recent years and there is ex aggerated ideas as regards the ad vance that either has made. Com missioner Wright figures that in stead of the cost of living having advanced from a quarter to a third, it really only shows an increase of from 15 to 17 per cent. The in creased wages received by laborers it is figured, have been equal to the increased cost of living and the general statement is made "that the condition of the laboring man is better to-day thau ever before in the history of the country." a me Kind Y01 ine Kind You Have Always Bonjtt I 1 We Are Selling MORE FURNITURE Than Ever.
