8 THE COLUMBIAN. I BLOOMSBURG, PA. "THUllSliAY, SKPTKMHKK 4. 19S- STATE HAPPENINQ8. The Reading police are making many arrests of illegal car riders at Shamokin, Smibury and other central points along the Shatnokiu division. The police have orders to break up the practice at any cost. I Ion J. Henry Cochran and Dr. E. 13. Campbell of Williams port, and Mr. Cochran's brother, from Wisconsin, have gone to the Maine woods on a hunting trip, ex pecting to be gone two or more weeks. Kight thousand kegs of beer are to be poured into a stream at Totts ville because the receiver of a de funct brewing company finds it too expensive to store them for a long er time. Is'nt it too bad that some of our Bloonisburg bums are not camping along that stream. Thirty-two saloon keepers in Scrantou, Carbondale and Old Forge were arrested Monday, &arged with violating the Sunday laws. It is said that 400 more will be arrested. The movement was started by Rev. Dr. Riley of Wilkes Barre, leader of the Anti-Saloon League of that section. John Chapwell was drowned in the Susquehanna river at Wilkes Barre Monday evening while trying to rescue two other men named Flynn and Dennis. Their boat upset and all were thrown in the water. Chapwell righted it and went to the rescue of the others who grabbed the boat, upsetting it again and throwing Chapwell in the water. He was drowned and they were saved. For the fourth time in fifteen years the people of Pottsville will vote on a proposition to apply for a charter for the city. This proposi tion was brought up in 1890, and then defeated. Now the council is arranging to lay the matter before the people at the November elec tion. The town has long had enough population to become a city, but certain interests have al ways managed to defeat the plan. Judge Lynch, Dr. A. P. O'Mal ley and George J. Stegmaier, all of Wilkes-Barre, have returned home from a trip to Kurope. They were absent nearly two months. The greater part of the time was spent in Germany, which they toured thoroughly. They also visited France, Belgium, England, Wales and Ireland, under the guidance ot Mr. Stegmaier, who has made" sev eral trips through those countries. The members of the Lycoming County Bar Association held an outing at the Halceka club house Saturday afternoon, to which point thev journeyed ou a special train. The attraction of the afternoon was base ball game between the mar ried and single men. They play ed until they were tired and then juit. The picnic was largely at :ended and the lawyers enjoyed themselves hugely. John August, an aeronaut, 25 years old, of Shenandoah, Pa., was tilled at Baltimore Saturday after aoon by falling 2,000 feet from his balloon. The exhibition went as jsual until the balloon reached an iltitude of about 2,000 leet. August vtao had been performing on a .rapeze, apparently became exhaust id. He was seen to make an effort to draw himself up to a sitting posi ion on the bar, but failed. An in fant later he was whirling through ;pace. August landed on a fence. His right leg was torn off at the cnee and the body was horribly nangled. lome Have your cake, muffins, and tea bis cuit home-made. They will be fresher, cleaner, more tasty and wholesome.

(JENEh&L NEWS The cost of the lone distance telephone line beinsr constructed to spau the distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans, for material, labor, right of wav. etc.. is said to be fifty dollars for every pole set lhe poles are placed about eight rods apart, therefore the cost is about 2,000 for every mile, or over $400,000 through Pennsylvania. The storv is eoinc the round nf the press that Grover Cleveland was recently offered the presidency of a new trust company at a salary of $50,000 a year. The ex Presi dent declined on the ground that ne bad no special qualifications which would be valuahle in the capacity as the chiet officer in a trust company. This is a sample of simple honesty that is so old lasnionea tnat it is retreshmg. Director of the Mint Roberts, has made public his estimate of the production of gold and silver in the United States for the calendar year 1904. These figures show an in creased production over the calen dar year 1903 of $7,131,500 gold and $3,486,000 fine ounces of silver. The largest gold gain was by Cal ifornia, which yielded about $3,000, 000 more than in the previous year, and a larger amount than in any year since the sixties. The uprising in Baku continues. It is reported that many Armenian villages were wiped out and hun- areas 01 persons killed. Help is slow in reaching there owing to the distance from the military centers. The whole of the Tartar population has risen and has been joined by 4,000 armed Kurds from the Per sian bank of the Alia river. The Viceroy protested to the Persian authorities. Bheep The world's suddIv of sheen is rapidly diminishing. In ten years there has been a decrease of nearly 72,000,000, or pretty close to one- seveuth of all the flocks of the earth. It appears that the higher tne civilization the tewer the sheep. Great grazing lauds from the ex treme end of South America to the plains of Russia, which once pas tured immense flocks of sheen, are gradually being turned over to agriculture. In Canada the number of sheen is steadily falling1. Germanv no cording to the "American Wool Keporter, lias now but 10,000,000, where half a century ago it had three times that. In India the flocks have lost a seventh in eleven years, while in Spain, which is the home of the finest fleeces of the world, they lost a fifth in a brief eight years. Nearly one-seventh 01 tne entire supply of6heepisin Russia, but thev are ot an inferior breed, and the wool" is not in de mand in loreign countries. There has been durinc the nast year a very large increase in the price ot wool. With the population ot the world steadily rising and the number of sheep more rapidly falling, the permanent cost of this great staple fabric seems likely to remain relatively hieh.JVtiade. phia Press.

The body had stranded on the point of the island. It was in a bad state of decomposition and could not have been identified ex cept by the clothing and the con tents of his pockets. There are no evidences of foul play. There were no suspicious bruises on the dead man's body. The money known to have been in his possession at at the time of his disappearance, his watch and other valuables, were all found on his person, which effectually dispel3 the murder theory. The friends of the dead man are now satisfied that death was due to accidental drowning. MAN DROWNED. The body of William Feuster macher who disappeared from Ber wick on Labor Day, was found on Thursday afternoon in the river at Northumberland. It was taken to an undertaking establishment, and identified by a pass book with his name in it, and his sons at Berwick were notified. The remains were taken up the same day, and buried in the cemetery on Saturday. A man named Lowe was last seen with the deceased at Espy.

On Tuesday Judge Herring, representing the town, asked for a non-suit on the ground that the plaintiff had not made out a case, the town having no legal right to make the pur chase.
