Many persons who were on the street saw the flying body, their attention being directed to it in f.ir the source of a light which suddenly illumined the sky. So bright was the meteor that it cast shadows on the streets. It looked to he about a hundred feet high. Behind it tralh'd a tad of light, as wide as the meteor, im mediately back of it, and tapering to a poiut. After the main body had passed out of sight small particles looking like sparks were seen. No noise was heard, so that the meteor was probably very high. It passed over here towards Catawissa.

He is as vigorous as ever, and the Columbian under his guidance is one of the most respected weeklies of the state.

Williamsport iun. One of the graduates of this office in whom we take the most pride, is Elmer E. Person, the writer of the above article, now editor of the Sun. With yesterday's issue of the Columbian Editor Geo. E. Elwell rounded out thirty-two years in the editorial chair. Mr. Elwell is doubt ful as to whether it has paid or not, but the writer, younger in years, takes issue aud assures Mr. Elwell it has paid. Basing the statement upon the observations of those years during which the writer has been grinding out copy he can say that Mr. Elwell's pen has always been used for the upbuilding of the community and for those ideals that make us a better people. If the respect and confidence of the community spell success, then the writer is confident that "it has paid" Mr. Elwell. Bloomsburg Morning Press. BAND CONCERT.

NEW RATES FOR ELECTRIC LIGHT The United Gas and Electric Company has announced that be ginning November 1st there will be no contract price tor electric ugnts, and current will be furnished only by meter. The following circular nas been issued by them : We desire to inform you that, beginning November 1st, 1907, this Company will discontinue tur nishing electric current upon what is known as the "Flat Rate," which has been in vogue during the prst four years, and that upon that date or as promptly thereafter as con venient, meters will be installed upon all service mains. Current will be furnished upon the following schedule of rates : Nothing to 20 kw. inclusive, at 9c. per kw ; 20 to 30 kw. inclusive, at 8c. per kw. ; 30 to 50 kw. inclu sive, at 7c. per kw.; 50 to 75 kw. inclusive, at 6c. per kw. ; 75 to 100 kw. inclusive, at 5c. per kw. ; over 100 kw. inclusive, at 4cper kw.

Hereafter a charee of 15c. each will be made tor lamp renewals ex cept for lamps ot special uesign, which will be furnished to tne con sumer at cost. We trust our patrons will take into consideration the fact that for the past lour years we have been supplying current at prices below the cost of manufacture, and upon flat rates which in many instances induced an abnormal waste of cur rent, entailing consequent loss upon MS.

Rhodes naid out durinir the month of Sep tember$i37 in bounties for wild animals foxes, weasels, minks, etc. Of this number there were two foxes for which two dollars each is paid. The remainder was weasels and minks upon which a bounty of one dollar each is given. One would naturally suppose that with the advanced state of cultiva tion to which the land has attained tint wild animals would be almost a minus quantity. The results, however, prove that there are some left. The weasels are the especial foe of the farmer as they depopu late his hen house aud he is always ready to help exterminate them, especially when a bounty is paid for them. HELD FOR COURT. A.
