The Republican of this week says: "The Columbian is to be commend ed for calling attention to the rep rehensible practice of the smart Guys who lounge in front of some of our hotels and make remarks about ladies who pass by. If the proprietors have no more regard for the reputation of their hotels than to allow this to go on, let the po lice get a move on. If these offic ials are asleep we would suggest that some "big brother" chance to pass along at the right time and when his sister is insulted, smash a "mug" or two. This would teach these cheap guys who want to be smart a wholesome lessou and one they would remember when they go to some other town." We most heartily endorse the suggestions of our cotemporary. Since our article was published last week we have learned that the loaf ers who sit along the streets and use olTeii.-i ve language, are not all strangers to the town. Many of them live here, and if they have no regard for the reputation of the town uor for the feelings of our women than to insult them as they pass along, it is high time that a good wholesome lesson be adminis tered. If, as the Republican sug gests, some big brother should swat one of these chappies in the face and blacken his eye or smash his nose, and perchance should be arrested for asiuult and battery, there are several laws under which he could retaliate by having the of fender arrested. "Mashers" and insulters of women ought not to be tolerated in this town, and any kind of an efficient police force could easily break it up. A SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. Many of the counties have long ago erected monuments in memory of the soldiers and sailors who lost their lives in defense of their country in the war of the rebelion Several grand juries in Columbia county have recommended the erection of one here, but for some reason the monument does not ap- g:ar to gain much headway, very one will concede that the services of these men ought to be recognized, and no one ought to object to the cost, as the amount necessary would be so small to each tax payer that no one would feel it. Iet the agitation go on until there arises in Market Square a monu ment that will be a credit to this county and a worthy tribute to the memory of the heroes of the war. COUNCIL DOINGS. At the regular monthly meeting of the town council on Monday even'ng it was decided to have the fire alarm system examined by a competent person to ascertain the cost of putting it in good working condition. It has been off color for some time. A representative of the Game well system was present and des cribed his system, which would cost the town $3500. The first floor of the Town Hall was granted to Winona Fire Co.. for a festival on August 16th and 17th. The matter of repairing the foun tain was discussed, but no action taken. The basin is in bad shape. The action of Mr. Runyon in in purchasing a dump cart for the town was approved. He was authorized to do so some time ago by council. The tax collector was ordered to proceed to eolket back taxes at once. After other routine business and passing bills, council adjourned. COURT PROCEEDINGS. The regular session of argument court was held on Monday. The application of the County Commissioners for leave to sell the toll house at the entrance to the old Berwick bridge was heard and the court reserved its decision. David Watkins was appointed constable of Conyngham township, vice Owen Cain resigned. The Wyoming Valley Trust Company was appointed guardian of John Murry Brown, a minor of North Berwick. Adam Clayberger was on his ap plication discharged as guardian of Klva Clayberger. A charter was granted to the Business Men's Protective Associa tion of Berwick. The Berwick-Nescopeck Ferry Company presented a petition for leave to dissolve the corporation which was granted. Hazel Mills was adopted by Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Moore. Upon application of Geo. B. Hummer, guardian of Merrill D. Fritz a citation was awarded on the executors of the estate to file an account. Estate of Sarah C Laubach. Specific performance of contract. Petition returnable first Monday of September. HOSPITAL FESTIVAL. The interest of the people in the Joseph Ratti Hospital was manifest ed last Saturday evening by the great crowd that attended the festi val on the grounds of St. Columba's church: The proceeds were about $400, and would have been more but for the rain that fell about ten o'clock and dispersed the crowd. Excellent music was furnished during the evening by the two bands. A very creditable parade took place in the earlier part of the even ing, which was participated in by all the fire companies, and the Drill squad of the K. G. E. This body went through many manoeaveht very gracefully and with marked precision- Captain A. H. Genaria is an excellent drill-master, and is entitled to much credit for the skill with which he handles his men. They were applauded all along the line. The success of the festival was largely due to the untiring efforts of Father Murphey who had all the details in charge. DR. GANOE RESIGNS. Owing to continued ill health, Rev. Dr. M. L. Ganoe has resign ed as pastor of the M. E. church of this town. This is a matter of deep regret, not only to his congrega tion, but to the entire community. He has endeared himself to many during his residence here, and it is still hoped that he may recover and be spared for many years of useful' ness. He is one of the most prom inent men in this conference. Two tiolley cars on the C. & M. collided near Briarcreek on Mon- day morning. The failure of the crew on the down car to notify the crew of the up car that the work car was following them was the cause of it. The front ends of both cars were broken. Ray Hoffman, motorman, wrenched his ankle by jumping. Mr. and Mrs. A. Z. Schoch, and Mrs. C. W. McKelvy and daugh ter Margaret, are the guests of Dr. 1 and Mrs. D. J.

Large crowds attended the circus last Thursday. The performance was about the usual thing with some meritorious features. The advertised price was 25 cents, but all the seats from which the acts could be seen to advantage were 25 cents extra. For the poor seats an extra charge of 10 cents was made in order to drive everybody into the reserved seats. As soon as the lat ter were well filled the ten cent charge was dropped. An employe of the show who was trying to Aim flam a young mau out of some mon ey in making change, was watched by a Bloomsburg man, and not suc ceeding, he became so angry that he threatened to stab the watcher. He ought to have been arrested. Every circus has its crooks. THE WENNER REUNION. Last Saturday fully 200 descend ants, friends and neighbors respond ed to the announcement of holding the third annual reunion of the Wenners and their friends. The day was most auspicious, and early the beautiful grove be gan to fill with vehicles laden with people and baskets filled with the good things that satisfy a craving appetite. Alter a sumptuous re past in the shady nooks of the grove, H. A. Kemp, the Benton Photo Artist appeared on the spot, and at 1 o'clock the church bell summoned the assembled mul titude along side the church and the artist arranged thein all in a convenient group, and took a snap shot at their beautiful faces. Thus a complete picture of the entire Wenner reuuionists was secured in permanent form. Each family rep resented should secure a picture, as a souvenir of this pleasant and hap py event. Immediately after the operation of the artist, the friends were called into the auditorium where and wnen a most interesting program was admirably rendered. The ex ercises consisted of music, speak ing, solos and recitations. Officers for the ensuing year elected, while the previous committees were un changed. The presence of Rev. A. Houtz added dignity to the assemblage, aud his remarks were appropriate and highly appreciated. This was the most successful Wenner reunion yet held. Every body was highly delighted, and nothing to mar or disturb the good feeling of the occasion, until the report reached the dismissed audi ence that lightning had struck and killed three cows of Frank Wenner the day previous. Frank lives ad joining the church lot and the cows did not come in, nor could be found in the evening of Friday, and after the exercises of Saturday some boys found the cows, dead, in a clump of bushes near an old stump of a tree that was struck by light ning. Of course there was an in surance on the cows, but the cows far exceeded the insurance in value. J. C. Wenker. WDLKES-BARRE FAIR. Among the features and live ex hibits to be seen at the big Wilkes Barre Fair, that will open on Au gust 26th and continue for a week, none will be productive ot so much human interest as Major Delmar, the fastest trotting horse the world has ever seen. The management of the Fair are justly and mightily proud of their success in arranging for the appearance here of this idol of. the trotting wrold. Wherever horses are known, there will be found the name and fame of Major Delmar leading all the rest. That he will prove a potent magnet in attracting the presence of all own ers of horse flesh in north-eastern Pennsylvania is not too much to be expected. The official program of the trot ting meet during the week of the big Fair has just been issued. Twelve thousand five hundred dol lars in prizes have been hung up, with a result that this gilt-edged bait has brought entries from all over the country of the very best iu their respective classes. The Wilkes-Barre Fair, being a member of the National Trotting Associa tion, all records made at the famous meet will stand ofheiauyst amped by regularity.
