ing the serious handicap, occasion
ed by the absence of Brown. At
the end of the first half the score

guarantee of its worth.
00M8ATTINQ CITIZEN'S H0MINEE3.
Strenuous objections to the notni

to forbid their appearing on the of
ficial ballot.
The four candidates who remain
on the ticket are W. L. White, C.
M. Bittenbender and D. Fisher for
Council, and H. G. Supplee for
school director. A copy of the ob
iections will be served on these
gentlemen to-day.
Back of the move are Jas. C.
Brown, J. H. Mercer, John Deily,
Chas. Culp, C. F. Dietrick, J. H.
Giger, J. W. Mifflin and M. H.
Rhoads, and they will be represent
ed before the Court by Fred Ikeler
Esq., A. W. Duy Esq., and H. A.
M'Killip Esq. as counsel.
Petitioned Court for Writ of Mandamus
The first move in the legal pro
ceedings to have the bridge across
the Susquehanna River at Mifflin-
ville erected, was made on Monday,
when District Attorney A. W.
Duy petitioned the Court for a writ
of mandamus to require the Lounty
Commissioners, William H. Fisher,
William Bogart and George W.
Ktsrner, to build the bridge. The
Court directed that a writ should
issue. It is made returnable at the
May term of court. The matter
has been taken up by the Commis
sioners, and they have instructed
their engineer to prepare plans
and make estimates to construct
the bridge in conformity to the
direction of the Supreme Court.
T'aey will be obliged however,
to wait the action of the Court, as
the funds must be provided, or
bonds issued to meet the additional
cost of an overhead crossing.

Presbyterian Choir.
The choir of the Presbyterian
Church has recently been reorgan
ized. The resignation of Mrs. R.
F. Colley as organist, made it
necessary to procure a new organist
and Miss Elsie Hicks has been
elected to this position and entered
upon her duties last Sunday. She
is an accomplished musician, and
has been playing the organ in a
Presbyterian Church at Danville for
the past year or two. Mrs. Colley
has served for many years as or
ganist of the Presbyterian church,
and one year she played in the
Episcopal Church. She stands in
the front rank of Bloomsburg's best
musicians, and her resignation was
only because of her increasing
family cares.
The choir as now constituted in
cludes the following: Sopranos,
Miss Cope, Miss Sara Milleisin,
Miss Helen Moyer; contraltos, Miss
Miller, Miss Laura Moyer; tenors,
R. F. Colley, A. N. Yost; bassos,
S. R. Bidleman and W. H. Brower.
This church has Wen noted in
times past for its excellent music,
and there is no reason why, with
such good material, it should not
continue to maintain its high
standard.

There are good plows on the market, but

first piize over all other Flows on the market.
If you want a Plow look around, investigate,
ask any farmer who has used a '.Roy''

the Plow to your convenience, not your con.
venience to the Plow. The "LsRoy" line is
complete; you will find just the plow adapted
to your needs in the "LeRoy." Sold by I

Report ot Grand Jnry.
The Grand Jury completed its
work, and reported its findings to
the Court yesterday. The report
recommends that the license year
be changed from the first Monday
of rebi uaty to the first day of April,
the day upon which movings al
ways occur, also that the accounts
of the different County officials be
closed and ready for the auditors
on the first Monday of the year.
The report further calls attention
of the proper authorities to the
needs of the people residing along
the river, and continues as follows :
" We have also examined the
public buildings and find at the
county jail better means of ventila
tion is needed; repairs such as
wrapping steam pipes in the base
ment and repairs to toof ; that a
part of the jail be set aside, or
arranged for caring for female
prisoners, that at least two room
in the jail be better fitted tor caring
for the sick therein detained.
"We firid the Court House in a
good sanitary condition and recom
mend that electric light be installed
or bids for furnishing same be call
ed for, also another or double door
be placed between the ladies' wait
ing room and the grand jury room."

We see by the city dailies that a
Chicago man is in court because he
was "frozen out of a mining com
pany in which be owned $200,000
in stock. The capital was $3,000,
000. Some other fellow bought
$300,000 worth of the stock for
$3,000 and helped freeze the com
plainant out. This is a sample
mining deal and shows how much
chance the average small stock
holder has in these schemes. As a
rule the winning schemes are of
two classes. In the one there is
no value to the mine, and in the
other it is so heavily over capital
ized that it will never pay divid
ends.
