The question as to whether Con gressmen are paid enough depends entirely on whether they are paid for their time or their work. W. O. Holmes and son have re cently made some changes in their stock room and office. They show several fine lines of bath-room fix tures and ranges. It strikes us that with a telephone in the house, a buggy in the barn and a rural mail box at the gate, a home in the country is more de sirable than one in the city.

A number of the larger cities of the diocese of Harris burg have invited him to locate in them, but up to the present time he has not decided where he pre fers to reside. Lancaster, Harris burg and Williamsport stand out prominently among the cities that are being considered by the bishop elect and it is believed that he will select one of the three. HENRY W.

A number of our representatne young men drove to Mordansville and took supper at the hotel Sun day. They speak in the highest terms of the treatment accorded them and the meal served, they say, was par excellence. . . "The Sign of the Cross," at tracted many of our townspeople to Danville Thursday evening. The play was probably one of the best that has ever come Danville's way. The entire company was first class, and the leading man, Walter Law who adorned the character of Marcus Superbus, Prefect ot Rome, was an actor of the first water. Every scene in which he partici pated was enacted with tuie artistic skill. Unfortunately the audience was small there being scarcely more than a handful of people present In town when we have a good show and poor patronage, we al ways attribute it to the Opera House, and the known inability to stage a big production properly But in Danville, it is different The theatre there is one of the fin est 111 this section, and why the people of that city should let an attraction of the magnitude and beauty of "The Sign of the Cross.' pass by unnoticed is unusual and quite strange. CHARGED WITH MURDER. Harry Allen, who has been a res ident of Bloomsburg for little more than a month, he and his family having moved here from Berwick, was arrested at his home ot: Kast Seventh Street yesterday alternoon b detectives O Bntn and Casterliu of Wilkes-Barre, and policeman Deiterick, of town, charged with having murdered Mrs. Geoge Paine, at Trowbridge, Tioga Cout: ty, this state.

The crime, which it is said followed an unsuccessful attempt to criminally assault the woman, was committed on the 23rd of May 1903.

The Columbia & Montour Klec mc Kauway company is now 111 control of Shawnee Park. The transfer was effected on Monday, from J. R. Fowler lessee and Sep hares Gemberling of Seliusgrove, owner. The trolley company also purchased an additional strip of land upon which will be constructed siding and a platform. The latter will be sixty feet in length and ten feet in width. As already stated in these col umns tne raric is to be made one of the finest in this section. The contemplated improvements include amusements of a good class and brilliant lighting.

Barter Withdraws. Dr. T. C. Harter ot Bloomsburg is out of the fight for the Register and Recordership, and the contest is now a five cornered affair between Frank W. Miller of Centralia, Geo. B. Clemens of Berwick, and A. N. Yost, Thornton Freeze and John C. Rutter Jr., the present incumbent. Dr. Harter withdraws from the fight because of impaired health, and the consequent inability to make an active canvass. He re alizes the futility of continuing in the struggle when one is compelled to direct a campaign without per sonal interviews, and for this reason he has decided to drop cut. Meanwhile the fight is going merrily on, each candidate apparent- y confident that he will receive the greatest share oi popular approval. Iwery nook and corner of the county s being covered in the hunt for votes, and the interest in the fight increases as time wears on. Theis is considerable talk but it is'nt of the sort that furnishes a basis for one to estimate the strength ot the different candidates, and to pick the winner at this stage of the game is to our mind simply out of the question.
