THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. 8 THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THUkShAY, JANUAUY t2, 1905. CREASY & WELL8' SCW OlTIOE- The new building of Creasy & Wells st their lumber yard at Sixth and Catharine streets, is fully com pleted, and is now occupied by them. It is a two story brick, the fcrst floor being used for a store room where all kinds of sash and frames ate kept. The second floor contains the offices. At the head of the stairs is a good sized looby from which the main office is separated bv a partition with a long bronze screen, such as are used by banks. Just back of the screen is a stand ing desk long enough for three men to work at easily. There are two double desks with green baize covers, drawers and doors on both sides, with oak revolving chairs on each side. In the rear is a private office which is also provided with two desks and revolving chairs, and fire proof vault. All the desks are of Missouri gum, and were made at the planing mill of the Bloomsburg Lumber & Mfg. Co. out of wood procured by Creasy & Wells. They are all very conveniently arranged and make handsome office furniture. There Is a hall way from the lobby direct to the private office without going throuch the main office. All the wood-work on this floor is oil finished, and altogether it is one of the finest business offices in this section. The building is heated by a very complete steam heating plant in the basement, and brilliantly lighted by electricity. In the business office are S. C. Creasy, E. C. Wells, and their assistants Fred B. Hartman, who has been with them for many years as book keeper, traveling salesman and all around assistant ; Clark Brown, and J. W. Davis. Silas Kitchen is foreman of the yard, and has a number of helpers handling the immense quantities of lumber that are coming and going con stantly. The Creasy & Wells lum ber yard has long been one of the leading industries of our town, and the business done by them every year runs into six figures. They have numerous mills running on timber tracts in different places, and thus give employment to many men besides those engaged at the yard, and their dealings extend all over this section of the state. SIX RM0NSTEAN0ES TILED. License Court will be held ou Monday next, January 16th, and there promises to be a lively time. Six remonstrances have been filed in the prothonotary's office, aud the applications will be bitterly contested. The applications to be disputed are as follows : Thomas Hickey, hotel, Bloomsburg ; Ed ward Bowen, hotel, Locust town ship; M. J. Devine, restaurant, Jamison City ; Matthew Forbes, Jamison City ; B. F. Sponenburg, restaurant, Berwick, and Thomas Berger, restaurant, Berwick. The latter two are for the same build ing, but separate remonstrances have been filed against them. We were in error last week when we stated that remonstrances had been filed against applications from Catawissa and Ceutralia. Such is not the case. The above six are the only ones against which a fight will be made. CAPTURED TEE BEST PRIZES- In a pigeon, poultry and pet stock show, held at Madison Square Garden, New York, last week, Boyd Evans, formerly of East street, this town, now of Tyrone, captured nearly everything in sight tn the pigeon line. There were but two rst prizes, and he won both, and this too in competition not only with all of the United States but foreign countries as well. Mr. Evans has long been a fancier and extensive dealer in blooded pigeons, and during his residence in Blooms burg, owned one of the most com .p'ete pigeon houses, which was always stocked with the finest and highest priced birds in this country. His success at the New York show proves him to be one of the leading pigeon fanciers in the world. There is no other great nation which allows the circulation of dirty paper money us is the case id the United States. The trouble here is due to a lack of law to compel banks to have their soiled bills re deemed. It is only necessary to send them to a subtreasury aud the government then pays the remain der of the expense. There are a sufficient number of subtreasuries to enable the banks to comply with the law without much expeuse. Disease is conveyed by dirty bills. But congress does nothing to stop the evil. The bills of our local banks are among the few that are kept clean and crisp. Rheumatism Is one of the constitutional diseases. It manifests itself in local aches and pains, inflamed taints and stiff muscles, but it cannot be cured by local applications. It requires constitutional treatment acting through the blood, and the best is a course of the great medicine Hood'sSarsaparilla which has permanently cured thousands of cases.

"Why Girls Leave Home," an effective tnelo-drama of today, the characters of which are capable of very impressive representation, comes to the Grand Opera House early in February. THE LAMP OF FOMAR KIAM. Magician Keene is presenting an illusion that borders so closely on the supernatural that grave doubts are raised in the minds of thinking people concerning the existence of some occult power as an accessory. A large, brightly burning lamp is exhibited by Keene, who says it is the property of a Hindoo Fakir, Fomar Kiam, who uses it in his de votions at the shrine of Vishnu. Saying he will return the lamp to its owner, Keene places it on a little stand, over the foot lights, and fires a revolver at it, when it van ishes as suddenly as though it had evaporated into thin air. This seems almost beyond belief and must De seen to be appreciated. At the Opera House, Jan. 13. "THE HOLY CITY." A really unique production is that made by Gordon & Bjnnett in "The Holy City." The piece is a drama tization of the Biblical story of John the Baptist. It is now in its second season and has enjoyed the most marked success wherever it has been seeu. The list of characters in this remarkable drama is, at first sight, astonishing tor it includes such as Herod, the King of Galilee; Pontius Pilate; Toseph of Arima thea; Peter and John the disciples; Judas the traitor; Herodias, queen of Galilee; Salome; Elizabeth, mother of John and Mary Magde linc. QUINCY ADAMS SAWYER. Among the notable attractions soon to appear in Bloomsburg is the quaint play ot New England life "Quincy Adams Sawyer," which is now in its fourth season of unqualified success. It is drama tized from the great novel of that name and of which upwards of 200,000 copies have been sold. It is a sweetly natural as the breath ot the fields, and it may be said with sincerity that no play has more of the qualities which appeal to the popular faucy without in the least diverging from what is whole some and good. When you hear a man discoursing on his own goodness, and telling how he never made a mistake, fail ed to perform a duty or keep au appointment, it won't do the least bit of banii to quietly slide vour hand down in your trouser's pocket and get a grip on your pocketbook.

Tickets at Bidleman's Book Store. DAMAGED BT IIRE. First and Second Stones ol Woolen Mill j Gutted This Morning. The sounding of the fire alarm, the clanging of the bells ou the hose trucks as they were being hurried off in the direction of box 21, from whence the alarm came, the contin ued blowing of the adjacent factory whistles, mingled with the shrieks of excited men, was the pandemon ium of noises which aroused the res idents of town shortly after six o'clock this moruing. The cause of the commotion was a fire at E. C. Caswtll & Co's woolen mill. The blaze started on the first floor near the olllce, in the north east corner of the building and burned over a large portion of the floor and made its way up through to the sec ond floor. All the fire companies were on the scene promptly aud it required the strength of the depart ineut to subdue the flames. Nearly all of the machinery on the first floor as well as much of it on the second floor was considerably damaged. The flames did not reach the third floor, but the machinery there consisting of dryers and some other equipment was more or less impaired by the intense heat. The j stock rooms, iortunately, escaped j any invasion of the destructive el-1 ement and no loss will be sustained j from that source. The floor be tween the first and second stories was badly charred and in some pla ces holes were burned through. There are two theories advanced as to how the fire started, one is that it was caused by a crossed elec tric light wire and the other is that it was the result ot spontaneous combustion- The latter theory is accepted as the most likely. The mill furnished employment for 60 people all of whom will be without work until the repairs are made. Mr. Caswell was unable this morning to make an approximate estimate of the loss. The fire forcibly demonstrated the fire department's need of addi tional equipment and the great dis advantage under which the firemen were compelled to work because of this fact should impel council to prcmpt action in the matter. Chief Edward Lewis has made known tue needs of the department, and coun cil should brook no dclav iu provi ding the necessary apparatus. Declines Another Term Mr. John R. Townsend has stated positively that he will not accept a renomination for the office of President of the Town Council. He has filled the position for the past two years iu a manner highly creditable to himself and to the entire satisfaction of the town, and it is greatly to be regretted that his services will no louger be available, and especially so, as one of the reasons that prompts his declination is his impaired vision. His ad ministration has been conducted with dignity and intelligence, and with as much economy as the necessities of the town would per mit. The Centennial and the floods gave him much extra labor, but he has handled it all admirably. He will return to private life with the best wishes of all. Blocd poison caused he death of Miles Shultz, ot Eighth Street last evening. He had been ill for an extended period. He was 41 years of age and leaves a wife. His mother, Mrs. Mary Shultz, of Philadelphia, sister, Miss Kate, of Philadelphia, and two brothers, J Arlington and George, of town. also survive. 4eV r ' -, 1 K ' St -f ' .til ,. i. - - it h .1 1 Je sus Wins His First Disciples Sunday School Lesson lor Jan. 15, 1905 Prcpartd toy the "Highway nd Byway" rricnr.

"Thou art the Son of God, Thou art the King of Israel." Faith suddenly sprung up within Nathaniel's heart aa he yielded to th leading and conviction of the Holy Spirit, and gave utterance to this noble testimony. The heart led the head, and is the safer guide, "for with the heart roan belleveth unto right eousness." How this testimony must have cheered and comforted Jesus' heart How It must have enlarged the Fplrit ual perceptions and strengthened Na thaniel's faith. If you believe in Jesus tell Him so.
