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.

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.

An open meeting of Bloomsburg
Council will be held some evening
this month. 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."
