THP cnriTMRIAN. BLOOMSBURQ, PA. 8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THUKSI'AY, JANUARY 5, 1905. R083EU DEN OOOP. James Hummel Up to Hit Old Tricks Again. The presence at F. P. Pursel's store of Miss Edna Keiffer, Friday evening, where the purloiner had gone to dispose of bis booty, led to the detection and subsequent arrest of James Hummel. It would seem that Hummel ha a mania for steal ing chickens. It has not been very long since he served six mouths in jail on the same charge. The victim of his theft on this occasion was Mrs. W. H. Har mnnv of East Fifth Street. Her flock originally consisted of ten. Some time before Christmas, a thief visited the hen house and stole six nf h largest ones. These were not recovered. Friday morning she carried some feed out to the re maining four. In the evening of the same day, she heard a noise at the hen house, and going out found that they were gone. The next day, when she men tioned her loss to Edna Keiffer. the latter informed her that she had heen in Pursel's store the night be fore when a man came in with four whit rhickens and sold them. He first wanted ten cents a pound in money, but finally left them at the stote, for nine cents a pound in trade. Mrs. Harmony went to Pursel's store, and found the chickens, bne identified them and immediately caused a warrant to be issued for Hnmmel's arrest. Before Squire Jacoby, he denied the charce. Said he had sold four chicken's at Pursell's but not the ones in question. The evidence, however, the identification of Hum mel by the girl, and also by Arthur Werkheiser, clerk in the store, who bought the chickens, was so direct that he was held in the sum of $300, to answer at Court, and in default was committed to jail.

Types of character that exist no where outside of New York are seen in the melodrama "New York Day by Day" at the Opera House tomorrow evening. The German hot sausage vendor is an amusing creation, and the hearty Irish "cop," the impish bootblack, the blind flower girl, old Mother Cant well who keeps the thieves den on the East River front, the English foot-pad and the wharf rat, are peculiar to the busy life of the me tropolis. AN EXTRAORINARY ENGAGEMENT. No dramatic event of the season is surrounded with such genuine interest as that which is announced to take place in the latter part of February when the only and origi nal company will present that beautiful and king pin ot all rural plays, " The Old Homestead," in Bloomsburg. The engagement takes on all the more importance in the fact that the production will visit only a few of the towns in the state outside of the big cities. In order to secure the show the Opera House management has been obliged to submit to many demands, including the largest guarantee ever given any theatrical compauy play ing this town. An effort will be made to get special trains on the B. & S. and the P. & R. Railroads, which will give people up the creek and at Catawissa a chance to see the big show. The Methodist Conference- The annual conferences of the M. E. church are usually a red letter season among members, and in that respect the Methodists of this section of the State, will be un usually favored in the coming con ferences, as there will be three in convenient distance of Bloomsburg. The first will be the Philadelphia conference at Alleutowu, on March 12th, Chaplain McCabe, presiding. The next will be the Central Pennsylvania conference at Ber wick, on March 23rd, Bishop Fitz gerald presiding. The third will be the Wvnmintr conference at West Pittston, on April sth. Bishop Cranston ore siding. THE FEBRUARY JURTMEH- Tne Following Persons Have Been Drawn to Seive at the February Term. GRAND JURORS. Adams, L. J., Briarcreek. ngS, a. u., Jiioomsburg.

Butler occurred at her home in Northumberland Sunday morning following a long illness with can cer Mrs. Butler was a daughter of the late Peter S. Harman. She had suffered long and patiently. The end was not unexpected. She was endowed with a kind, cheerful disposition and her memory will long be cherished. There is much regret at her death and deepest sympathy is ex tended to her husband and family by many friends who knew and loved her. Beside the husband there survives two cnildren, Frauk and Florence, aged ten and six years respectively and the following brothers and sis ters : J. Lee Harman, JolinG. Harman, Paul Z. Harman, Mrs. A. H. Stroh, Mrs. W. E. Hartman and Mrs. Dr. C. S. VanHorn all of Bloomsburg. The remains were brought here Tuesday afternoon and taken to the home of W. E. Hartman where services were con ducted by Rev. Mr. Nichols of the Episcopal church. Interment was made in Rosemont cemetery, "Way Down East" Delighted Gcod Audience. William A. Brady's Company in "Way Down East" delighted a good sized audience at the Opera House Thursday evening. The company is a capable and well balanced one, and in handling the play, they strip it of all staginess, and impart that satisfying sense of restful actuality which means so much. In the character of " Anna Moore," Claire McDowell was excel lent. She is an tfctress of ability, and her impersonation of this char acter, itft nothing to be desired Mr. Barnes as the "Squire" was good as was also George R. War ren, as " Rube Whipple," the town constable. The play requires an immense amount of scenery and stege mechanism, all of which was suppnea. 1 ne snow storm was particularly natural and effective, for Rent.

The preaching: of John was mainly In the wilderness of Judca, west ol the lower Jordan and the Dead sea. The Incidents of this lesson occurred at Beth abara (John 1:2S). A REMINDER Let us not forget to keep before us John's purpose In writing hli Gospel. Repeat John 20:81. Note th reasons presented In this lesson why wit should believe In Jesus as the Son of God and believing might have life In His name. John's testimony (Cf. v. 20 with v. 84) li supplemented by God's testimony, vs. 32, S3; cf.

John's Testimony of Himself. (D John's Questioners. John's six or seven months of preaching is bearing fruit The Jewish leaders are stirred. They appoint a delegation of priests and Levltes to go to John to ask who he was, and what was his baptism. They were not seekers after truth so mucti as they were critics of the truth. They came prejudiced, and they went away without seeing or knowing the Ch. So It is to-day. Is. 6: 9, 10; Acts 28:26, 27. (2) John's Negations. vs. 20, 21. John was not willing to sail under any false colors. Rom. 12:3. He was nol the Christ. He was not Ellas. (Note, however, the later testimony of Jesus. Matt. 11:14; 17:10-12. John spoke literally; Jesus figuratively. There was expectation of a literal return of Elijah.) He was not that prophet This last hav ing reference to Deut. 18:15, which some thought would be a second Moses. (3) John's Affirmation. v. 23. He was only a voice crying in the wilder ness. A voice to utter God's message, Only a voice that the man might be ob scured and the message emphasized. What an example for preachers and teachers to-day. (4) John's Baptism. v. 26. Matt. 3:11; Acts 19:3-6. Notice John's fidelity to Scripture. He quotes Isaiah the prophet in Justi fication of his claims. God's children ought always to be prepared to reply to the questioner. 1 Pet. 3:15. II. John's Testimony of the Christ (1) Jesus in Their Midst vs. 26, 27. "There standeth one, among you, whom ye know not." Their hearts of unbellel would not see or receive Him. Thus at the very beginning we find exemplified that which has ever characterized the world since then. Jesus in the midst ot the world but unknown by the world. Note the striking contrast between John's announcement of the Christ to these carping Critics, and to those who were ready to receive his message. To the former he says: "Jesus is in yout midst but you don't know Him," and on the morrow, when they have gone, he (2) Points Jesus out to believing hearts as "the Lamb of God which tak eth away the sin of the world." The Jews in narrow race prejudice were looking for a national deliverance while the world was forgotten and un cared for. John's broad announcement that the Christ was to be the world's sin hearer must have been startling to his hearers, and yet how blessedly true It was. (3) The Sign from Heaven. The De scent of the Holy Spirit upon Jesus and the voice from Heaven was the Divine ly appointed sign to John whereby he was to know the Christ. It is the ac cepted opinion of Bible scholars that John never met Jesus until His baptism, which had taken place some 40 days be fore the Incidents of this lesson, the 40 days' temptation in the wilderness hav ing intervened. (4) The Positive Testimony. John was willing to receive the evidence of the Spirit and was ready to bear posi tive testimony that "this Is the Son of God." Oh, that men everywhere' would be willing to recelvo the Indisputable evidences which God supplies in His Word, and by His Holy Spirit, that Je sus Is the Christ, the Son of God! "Behold the Lamb' of God which taketh away the sin of the world." John's words have echoed through the centuries, God had in expression of His infinite love and mercy and as pro vision for the need of a lost world, pro vided Himself (Gen. 22:8), a Lamb, which was a sufficient sacrifice (Heb. 9:12) for the atonement for the world's sin. Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8). "Behold!" then this Lamb cf God. "There is life for a Jook at the Crucified One." (John 3:14, 15.)

The office of mercantile appraiser had many aspirants when the matter was taken up by the board of county commissioners on Friday. When it is taken into consideration that the place pays about four hundred dollars for as many weeks work the anxiety to secure the. ap pointment will be understood. There were eight applicants. Three ballots were taken without result, and then William Dieterjck of Espy was elected unanimously.

Now that the season for Colds, Coughs and Neuralgic Pains is with us, the careful man is on the look out for such preventive measures as will guard him against the "eager and nipping air" that may prepare the way for a winter's sickness.
