George Vcrdy of riiihidetphi.i visiting relatives here this week. is Work on the Vorks house is again being delayed by the non- j arrival of terra cotta flues. j - j The attendance at the Milton Fair last Thursday was said to be ' the largest in the Fair's history. I Dr. and Mrs. Altniiller are in Philadelphia thn week. They have rented the residence of T. L. Gun-' ton, and will take possession on November 1st. M. P. Lutz & Son are actively engaged in the real estate business, j and handle a large number of prop erties. 1 heir bulletin board always shows some good bargains. We go to press on Wednesday this week in order that the office force can attend the fair. It is the only vacation asked for during the year, and it is well merited. The bulletin board outside the White House Restaurant, which announces the good things to eat on the inside, is written in a hand that would do credit to a professor of penmanship in a business college. Will Baclmian is the artist. The report that a number of race horses on their way to the Blooms burg fair were killed in the colli sion at Millerstown, was incorrect, and the horses are here and will go in the races. It does not appet-.r how the report started, but many of the daily papers printed it on Monday. - Charles M. Terwilliger was nomi nated for Prothonotary for a second term without opposition. His effi ciency in the office is conceded by everybody, and of course he wi'l be re elected. But it is not safe to take anything for granted in politics. The only sure way is to vote, and vote straight. Vote the straight ticket this fall give the Republicans a new idea of the real strength of the Demo cratic party iu Columbia county. Don't be a stay-a-home nor a bolt er. Your ticket is composed of good men from the candidate for state treasurer down to county auditor. Let us go back to the old majority. Frank W. Miller, Democratic candidate for Register and Record er, is attending the fair this week. Mr. Miller has made friends throughout the couuty wherever he has gone, and he will get a big vote on November 7th. His ability to fill the office is undoubted, and his popularity assures his election by something more thsn the usual majority. St. John's Kp:scopal Church at Catawissa is at present in charge of Rev. R. S. Nichols, rector of St. Paul's Church, aud the arrange ment may be contiuued, as Christ Church, Berwick, is anxious to have a minister who can devote all his time at home. Services are held at St. John's Church every Sunday afternoon by Mr. Nichols. Judge Mayer, of Lock Haven, has been on the bench thirty seven years, and will soon be seventy-five years old.

While the office of District Attorney is not and ought not to be a political office, you do not see Democrats elected to that office in Republican counties.

A rear-end collision at Millers burg on the Philadelphia & Kt ie railroad on Sunday morning result ed in the death of Theodore Scott ofSunbury. He wrs a son in law of Geo. B. Martin of Bloomsburg, having married Mr. Martin's daughter about a year ago. Several cars of a freight train broke looe from the train, aud before they could be taken on again the pass enger train crashed into them. Scott was fireman on the passenger, and he was crushed under the engine. Charles Berry, freight conductor, and Ralph Hendershott, flagman, both of Sunbury, were also killed, their bodies being burn ed to a cri:-p. On hearing the sad news Mr. and Mrs. Martin went to Sunbury, and arrangements were ni.ule to bring Mr. Scott's body here fir burial on Wednesday. They arrived on the 10.41 train aud were taken direct to Rosemont Cemetery, where the services weie conducted by Rev. J. D. Thomas.

Trolley to Northumberland A proposition is on foot to build a trolley line to be known as the West Branch Klectric Railway Co. from Danville to Northumberland. The West Branch Klectric Rail way Company will in reality be an extension of the Danville and Bloomsburg Klectric Railway Com pany. It is made up of the major ity of members of the Danville and Bloomsburg Company who-e signal success in the building of the latter line inspires confidence that the Danville and Northumberland Hue will be built without delays that frequently occur iu construction of trobey roads. The proposed road will be easy of construction, owing to the ab sence of heavy grades between Dan ville and Northumberland. Neith er will there be any streams that need bridging. Best of all there will be no railroads in the way so that the vexed question of grade crossings with its subsequent litiga tion and delay will be entirety elim inated. The Danville and North umberland line will be built along thoroughly improved lines, the cars and all its equipment beiog first class and modern in all respects. Verily Danville is becoming a trolley center of no little importance, says I he Morning News. Northum berland is but eight miles from Montandon, where connection cau be made for Williamsport. In ad d'tion to this the new line will con nect with Sunbury and thence with the gigantic system of lines built or under way that will open up all the central part of the State and connect with Philadelphia, while to the eastward of us we already have communitation with Catawissa, Bloomsburg and Berwick with pros pects in a short time of reaching Nanticoke and points beyond. McOlellan as a White House Possibility, The name of George B. McClell an again looms up in the history of this country, associated with great possibilities. In the young man renominated by Tammany for May or of new York city, some people see a lutuie Governor of New ork State and a possible President of the United States. The failure of the socalled reformers to agree up on a proper man to contest the May oralty fight with McClellan leaves the office in his grasp. Only death or some untoward circumstance can prevent McClellan being elected Mayor of New York city in No vember next to serve for four years. The lease of official life will carry him prominently lefore the people until after the next Presidential nominating convention aud election. His term of office v ill expire Jan uary 1, 1910. What changes iu political history can happen iu that time ! Mr. McClellan is personally an attractive man and a very capable politician. The Democracy has no cleaner man in the ranks of its younger leaders. He is as little defiled as anybody ever was who had touched Tammany Hall. But it must be remembered that the power of the Kastern Democracy is very limited now; that the Western wing of the party is well organized and aggressive; that Mr. Bryan is still its hero, and that his distrust of men of Mr. McClellan's environ ment is profound. And it now seems likely that even if he should not ask for the nomination himself, Mr. Bryan will no doubt be power ful in the convention cf 1908 as he was in that of 1904. Here U Relief for Women.

V. 9-21 40 FEED TRAIIJIKU OF SUR8E3 Young Women ol Small Towns and Country Districts lo bo Faorod By the terms of a fund to be ad ministered in connection with the Philadelphia School for Nurses, Witherspooii Building, Philadel phia, a i!tunlcr of young women from every conntv will receive free training in Nursing. It is planned to ultimately reach and help in this way eveiy village and township. The young women will be pro vided with room, board, nurse uni forms and all the refinements of a well-app' itited Chi is! i 111 home. At graduation the diploma of the Sehool and the Order of the Red Cross will be conferred, qualifying for practice in r.ny State or country; the railroad f.ue will then be paid back home. Those apling and chosen to receive the benefits of this fund will be given two ears' training, with a rich experience in nursing th? siek poor of the city under skillid leadeis. The term may be short ened to eighteen mouths by taking a preliminary course of six months' and study at home. A special short cours'. enables young women to quickly qualify themselves for self support and a substantial income. In addition to regular nursing, the young women are taught how to preserve their own health; how to recognize, avoid and destroy con tagion; how to establish and main tain pcrlect sanitary conditions about the home; they are prepared for positions as office nurse aud physician's assistant; they get a practical knowledge of City Mission movements, Deaconess training, College settlement work, and are trained for special positions of trust in institutions. The School is ten years old and is endorsed by physicians, leading educators and prominent men throughout the country. ELECTION DRAWS NEAR Three weeks from next Tuesday will be election day. Upon the action of the Democrats of Colum bia couuty on that day depends whether Hie party is to be strength ened or weakened. A full vote, and the election of the whole ticket by a fair majority will give it strength and renewed vitality, while the defeat of any man on the ticket would give still further en couragement to the opposition iu their boast that this will be a repu blican county in the near future. Such a result we do not deem at all probable, and yet if professed demo crats go wandering after strange gods, or do not vote at all, they weaken the party, and render strange things possible. There is always danger in the stay-at-home vote. This being an off-year, there will be no speeches through the county, but it ought not to require stump speeches and brass bands to arouse the people sufficiently to get every man to the polls. There is a strong opposition to the Republican candi date for State Treasurer within that party. The corruption of the ma chine has reached a point where the better element of the party can no longer endure it, aud there is re volt all along the line. Our candi date, William II. Berry, will be supported also by the Prohibition ists and the reform Republicans, from which sources he will receive a very large vote. His election therefore depends upon the Demo crats. If they do their duty, and give him a full vote, his election is assured. fidelity to Pubho Trust. The estate of the late Robert E. Pattison of Pennsylvania, has beeti wound up and the net amount of it found to be $4545. 1 1. Fidelity to public trust is an admirable quality, but the example of Robert E. Patti son tend to show that there is not much money in it. But it is not less worthy of emulation by those who esteem their own self-respect aud stainless honor above all mone- t a r y consideration.
