The excursion to Eaglesmere over
the Reading road on Tuesday was a
great sticcss. The number of tickets
sold here was 2S6, and at Danville
156. Many more were taken on at
other points between here and West
Milton. The train reached here
soon after 10 o'clock in the even
ing. During the recent encampment of
tbe National Guard at Mount Gretna

Oscar Burdick, of Scranton, mem
bers of Co. F, were declared the

The Millville Telephone company
which has maintained a line about
town and to Iola for several years,
has been making arrangements to
extend its service. It will be con

subscribers can talk through the

now about thirty subscribers from
Eyersgrove to Iola, with a nominal
charge of five cents for all messages
through the Bloomsburg exchange.
It is hoped to increase the number
of subscribers so as to establish au
exchange at Millville in the near
future. Tablet.
An inoffensive old man was beat
en to death in London, by a mob,
the other day. lie was suspected
of an impropriety towards a child
in ictoria Park, but went before
a magistrate and quickly and com
pletely established his innocence.
He was discharged, only to be set
upon and murdered. Not an arrest
has been made. He was a dock
laborer, without infhientia' friends.
English newspapers are fond of
displaying sensational headlines over
the news of an American lynching,
but no American mob ever committ
ed a more brutal and cowardly
crime than that in England's capital
last Thursday.

OCULIST,
TO FIGHT BEEF TRUST.
Ooraniissioper Warren Will Order Crimi
nal Frostcutions.
Declares That Meats Imported Into the Stala
Are "Doctored"' In Violation of Pure
Food Laws.
Criminal prosecutions of Pennsyl
vania representatives of the beef
trust are about to be instituted by
Dr. B. II. Warren, state dairy and
food commissioner.
The charges upon which prosecu
tions are to be based are that meats
sold in this state by the trust are
doctored in these ways : Colored by
washing with poisonous coal tar
dyes ; dipped in formaldehyde solu
tion ; dusted with powder contain
ing snlphkes, and washed with
powdered boracic acid solutions.
Politicians of state and national
prominence have sought to hold up
these prosecutions, and have gone
to the length of making threats that
political vengeance would be visited
upon tbe commissioner and his
agents if the cases were pressed.
In letters written to his office in
Harrisburg Dr. Warren has given
instructions that no attention is to
be paid to these threats, and that
the prosecutions are to be pushed
vigorously and to the limit of the
commission's resources.
Samples upon which the cases
are to be made were bought princi
pally in the counties of Dauphin,
Allegheny, Huntingdon, Philadel
phia and Lycoming. It has been
decided that the first prosecutions
shall be made in Harrisburg.
The samples taken include meats
shipped into the state by Armour
& Co., the Schwarschild-Sulzberger
company, the Swift company, Nel
son. Morris & Co., the Cudahy
Packing company and the Ham
mond company.
Dr. Warren was seen on Monday
ou his way through Harrisburg
from Portland Ore., to his home in
West Chester. He was surprised
that any inkling of his plan to fight
the beef trust has gotten out.
" It is true that the prosecutions
are about to be started," said Dr.
Warren, " and they will be push
ed to the limit." Complaints have
been numerous concerning the
quality of meat that has been ship
ped in Pennsylvania from the West,
ana man agents and chemists re
port that the complaints are well
lounaea.
" Tbe pure food law will be en
forced against wealthv and nnwer
ful violators with as much zeal as
would be shown in the nrnseoiiiinn
of any other criminal. Neithpr fpnr
nor favor will sway the conduct of
mese cases."
Mrs. W. O. Holmes was serious
ly bruised by a fall down the steps
leading to S. C. Creasy's cottage at
Arbutus Park on Friday night. A
masquerade party had been held at
the cottage, and as she was leaving
she caught her heel on the top step
ana ten to tne platform below. Her
tare and limbs were much bruised.
but no bones were broken and she
is recovering.
The resolution adopted by Town
Council to the effect that unless
some definite action js taken by
some outside parties in relation to
tne iMfth street sewer, by August
4, tne matter will not again be
taken up this year, is hardly a fair
way to dispose of the subject. The
council is elected to care for the
interests of the community, and if
they really want the sewer, and
they say they do, the only way to
do is to cooperate with those who
are trying to get it, and to keep on
cooperating until tbe sewer is ac
complished. For the council to fix
a date, and then resolve that they
will hear nothing further on a given
subject during the year, is a most
remarkable and unusual procedure.
So Examination Required
The Bloomsburg Normal School
is so well known throughout the
country that its graduates are
admitted to most any college on
certificate, without examination.
Recently a student entered a college
in California in that way, and yes
terday Edward Elwell received
notice that he was registered at
Trinity College, Hartford, and
would be accepted without examin
ation. Nearly every college in
Pennsylvania has been doing this
for some years. The college prep
aration here is considered among
the best in the land.
