8 THE COLUMBIAN. ISLOOMSIiURG, V. TIH'kSliAY, OCTOIM'.R 19, 1935. BUDDbN DEATHS. Sudden ilentli seems to be tinusti ally prevalent just now. The daily papers have reports of cases in al most every isue. The greatest number of such deaths appear to occur from four causes: namely, railroad collisions; from automo biles whereby some one is killed in or by these vehicles; murder; and from suicide. Tlie vast amount of traffic carried by the railroads has increased the difficulty of handling trains, and thus made travelling more hazardous. The great num ber of automobiles has so enlarged the army of chauffeurs that there are naturally more reckless men among them who are more or less regardless of the rights of others; and at the i-aine time familiarity with these machines has made pe destrians more careless, and they are frequently struck through their own. fault by taking unnecessary chances. It is probable that there are no more murders now than there have been in years past in proportion to the population. Very many of them now reported are among the foreigners who are permitted to flock into this country by the thous .iuds, and who come largely from the ignorant and lawless scum of Europe. But the suicide mania seems to be on the increase. It is very com mon to read of self-murder with the statement that there was no appar ent cause for the act, and if these statements are true in all cases then men and women are killing them selves just for the fuu of the thing. No human being will take his own life unless there is a cause that impels him to do it. Either he is mentally unbalanced, or there is something back of it all that makes him long for the quiet of the grave. While to the world his life seems all serene, there is a secret sorrow that is gnawing at the heart that takes away all desire to live, and that gives him the courage to turn his hand against his own life be cause he is too much of a coward to face the troubles that coufiont him. There is disease, domestic infeli city, financial troubles, a great sin committed and the fear of exposure haunting him, and other things chat drive men to self destruction, but it was not until quite recently that the cause of a suiside was .iscribed to idleness. A wealthy club man of New York who had never worked a day in his life, who ,ived in his political apartments in New York, or his villain Newport, or his beautiful country residence; who has spent his time in yachting md racing and golfing and the like, .vho has no family of his own and lothing to do but amuse himself, as found a few days ago in his led-chamber by his valet with a revolver in his hand and his brains jozing from a bullet hole in his temple. The papers said he had tilled himself because he had ex hausted every possible means that jould be devised for his amusement md was tired of living. Perhaps so! If that man was not crazy there was some other cause for his ash act, though it will never be inown. Death by accident or by the recklessness of others can be check ed by making penalties to fit the , :rime, but the suicidal mania can mly be governed by the estimate Arhich each individual puts upon lis own lite, and by the belief that ach oue entertains of what eternity neans. Library Directors' Meeting. At the recent monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Bloomsburg Public Library the re ports for the month were submitted. The average daily circulation for the month of September was 78, an increase of 8 over the month pre vious. The total circulation to the first of the month was 70,783. The number of reading room visitors during the month was 688 and the evening circulation for the mouth was 1282. Recent contributions to the li brary were: Official records of the Navy during the War of the Rebel lion, presented by Col. J. G. Freeze; Report of the Bureau of Ethnology in two volumes, presen ted by Captain Connor, of Orange ville, and "The Boyhood of Christ" presented by Edgar Shaffer, of Williamsport. Recent acquisitions to the library "The Missourian," "Walking Del egate," "The Indifference of Jul iet," "Concerning Belinda," "Freckles," "Bread Winner," "Rose oi the River," "The Gam bler," "Breath of the Gods," "To Windward," and Rolfc's Shake speare. Rheumatism , Is one of the constitutional diseases. It manifests itself in local achss and pains, inftamcd joints and stiff muscles, but it cannot be cured by local applications. It requires constitutional treatment acting through the blood, and the best is a course of the great medicine Hood'sSarsaparilla which has permanently cured thousands of cases.

Issuc3 of the Campaign Is.iaj Roberts, cashier of Swnrthinore National b.tnk answered the impudent and the has im- moral letter which chairman And rews, of the Republican State com mittee, recently addressed to the bankers of the State, to frighten them into contributing to his cor ruption fund. Chairman Andrews had insulted the intelligence ot the bankers by declaring that the elec tion of Mayor Kerry would debase the currcnev of the country. "Mr. lierry's election," the Andrews blackmailing letter alleged, "would proclaimed throughout the Ii.mrth ntul lni.ihli nf tin- land as .1 triumph for the cause ol free silver." Mr. Andrews knows, unless he is a . born idiot, that the election of neither Plummer nor Berrv will in- rt,,,.,,. (i. r-, ,,,..,- n,i Ktaiincr currency the contrary he writes himself lown a knave. Hut Mr. Roberts treats his absurd statement serious ly, nevertheless, and answers it fitly. "Mr. Berry s campaign and elec tion, " writes the Swarthmore banker, "have no more to do with free silver than with the rings of Saturn or the man in the moon. But they have a great deal to do with common honesty and the pro per control and disposal of the State funds." These are the issues of the campaign in a nutshell. In his speech accepting the Democratic nomination for the office of State Treasurer Mr. Berry said, "the questions which ordinarily divide the voters ot the State are sent to the rear. We could not discuss them if we would. The people would not listen. They are now determined to rid this State of a corrupt and corrupting political ring, the revelation ot whose vill ainy has disgraced our State." That is only another form of ex pressing the idea advanced by Mr. Roberts that Mr. Berry s election will have much to do with "com mon honesty and the proper control and disposal of the State funds, ' but nothing whatever with currency or coinage. 1 he Republican machine in this State has " refined iniquity." That is to say it has reduced the process of plundering the people to an exact science and has spread the virus of venality into every section of the State and every department of the government. There hasn't been within ten years a single appropria tion to charity, education or cor rective institutions, that hasn't yielded a percentage in graft to the atrocious "combination of criminals masquerading as Republicans." During the last session of the legislature J. Lee Plummer, the Republican machine candidate for State Treasurer, apportioned these State gifts and his nomination is the reward for his moderation in not demanding for himself a larger share of the spoils. His election, therefore, means a continuation of the practice of graft while the suc cess of Mr. Berry will end it. This is only another way of stating the sane truth. Bellejonte Watchman. Mrs. H- Little The Muncy Luminary of last week says: Mrs. Margaret 11.

One of the stage stories that will ever, remain strong and true to theatre goers is "Uncle Tom's Cab in," a sumptuous production of which, under the able management of Mr. Leon Washburn, will be given at the Grand Opera House Tuesday, Oct, 24th, when everyone who has the opportunity of witness ing this perennial favorite will ac claim it as one of the best presented by any company.

J AN it KANTZ C. w. Miller, Atty. AUuilulbtiutilx. BLOOMSBURO, PA, STETSON'S ''DNOLE TOM'S CABIN' COMPANY- In every hamlet and city of Am erica, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is the simile rlav millions of Americans have seen, for the eifted authoress penned her story with such vivid uess and pathos that reading of it was insufficient to those whose sympathies become interwoven with its characters. Yet, notwithstand ing its frequent presentation, but few have seen it played with any pretention to proper stage effect. Every trick of realism possible, with improved up-to date stage methods, will be employed. There will be bloodhounds, horses, ponies donkeys, darkeys, Eva's carriage drawn by pretty Shetlands; the old ox cart and cotton wagon with its weary old horses and dilapidated harness; all the life and movement attendant upon the arrival of a Miss issippi side wheeler; the semi-barbaric pastimes of cotton field and levee, and the actual realistic slave mart and whipping post. There will be over 60 people on the stage, and the old folk-lore songs of the South will be sung with up to date methods. The final transformation scene, depicting the evolution of the black man from barbarism through slav ery to civilization, by the right of freedom; and the death scene of Eva and her transition 10 Heaven will alone involve no less than twenty-two changes of scenery. Tlie street parade, given by the Stetson Company at noon, has nev er been equalled in novelty and at tractiveness, Whether "Uncle Tom's Cabin', misrepresents the good people below the Mason and Dixon liue or not, the sumptuous manner in which Manager Wash bum has mounted the play is said to rivet attention everywhere. This great production will be at the Grand Opera House Tuesday Octo ber 24. Horse Owners Claim Damages- The owners of the horses injured on Sunday morning October 8th at Millersburg, are claiming damages from the Adams Express Co. which .was bringing them to the Blooms burg fair. They allege that the horses can go in no races this sea son. The animals are valued at prices ranging from $1500 to $5000. The veterinaries disagree, Dr. Wel liver of Bloomsburg, veterinary for the company, after examination de ciding that six of the nine horses are not prevented from racing, while Dr. Church, for the owners declares otherwise. Unless a set tlement can be reached the cases will probably get into court. DR. KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY Pleasant to Take, Powerful to Cure, And Welcome In Every Home. LIVER CURE T)r.
