Automobiles operated in Penn
sylvania next year will carry yellow
tags with black letters and figures.
This design has been selected by
State Highway Commissioner Hun
ter. The idea of the commission is
to have the tags next year as differ
ent as possible from those with
white letters on a red ground, in
use this year, aud those with white
letters on a blue ground, issued in
1906. There have' already been
issued this year 20,000 licenses,
bringing a revenue to the depart-
meut of $60,000, a portion of which
is now being used to experiment
with patent dust layers on public
roads.
Few Pennsylvanians realize that
their state ranks sixth in the union
in the value of her tobacco crop,
because in only five counties! Lan

In the census year, however, Penn
sylvania had nearly 38,000 acres
under tobacco, and produced 41,
500,000 pounds of leaf, worth $2,
960,000. Moreover, she had 2,664
manufacturing establishments.chief
ly cigar factories, with nearly $14,
000,000 capita), employing 25,000
wage earners, paying nearly $8,
500,000 wages, consuming 29,000,
000 pounds of tobacco and other
raw materials, at a cost of $11,600,
000 and putting out over 1, 600,000,
000 cigars, valued at $30,000,000.

FINE PARK ALONG D. & B.
Will b Comploted This f ill Will Surpan
Anything in This Section ot the Stat.
The Danville Morning News of
Monday says :
A magnificent park eclipsing
anything of its kind in this part of
the State midway between Dan
ville and Bloomsburg. Work on the
construction will begin at once and
will be entirely completed this fall.
The Danville and Bloomsburg
Street Railway company is back of
the enterprise, and has secured the
co operation of Mr. A. Jahn.of Read
ing, the millionaire park promoter,
who has personally perfected the
plans and will direct the construc
tion. Mr. Jahn and Thomas B.
Illig, a member of the board of di
rectors, were in Danville Saturday
completing arrangements for the
new amusement place.
In an interview with a News re
porter Mr. Jahn said that the new
park would be modern and up-to-date
in every particular, embracing
the finest of everything that can be
pracured in the way of open air di
versions. The feature of the park will be
the pavilion, 70 feet by 150 feet and
of ornate construction, including a
fine maple dancing floor. Another
feature will be the roller coaster
and still another the 40-foot elec
tric carousel. All of these principal
features of the park are to be group
ed in one place on the grounds, oc
cupying a plot 70 feet by 400 feet,
so thai in case of inclement weather
it will not be necessary to step from
shelter in order to reach any one of
numerous amusements iu the park
There will also be erected a big
station for the arriving and depart
ing trolley parties. There will be
several private dining rooms, shel
ter pavilions, everything 111 the
booth line, benches, tables, and in
fact everything that would go to
complete a first class resort.
LOCATION NOT MADE PUBLIC.
The trolley officials refused todi
vulge the location of the new park,
stating that for business reasons
they desired that this remain a
secret for several days. They said,
however, that the site was in one
of the prettiest groves along the
line, about half way between Dan
ville and Bloomsburg aud of easy
access to the trolley line. The park
will include 30 acres of woodland.
WILL INSTALL LIGHT PLANT.
To light the new park it is esti
mated that it will require at least
10,000 incandescent lamps, and to
meet the additional current needed
for the lighting the trolley com
pany will install an electric lighting
plant of its own in connection with
the power house at Grovania.
Four Parties File Nomination Papers
There will be four parties repre
sented on the State ticket to be
voted in November next, the Dem
ocratic, Republican, Prohibition
and Socialist parties having nomi
nated and filed their nomination
papers in the State department.
Thursday was the last day for
filing nomination papers for the
State ticket, and the names filed at
the department will very likely be
those to be printed on the ballot.
In case ot vacancies on the ticket
they can be filled at any reasonable
time, giving the county commis
sioners opportunity to print the
ballots.
If there be any objections to can
didates on the State ticket they
must be filed by today, as the time
for filing objections expires then.
The ballots will be certified to
the county commissioners as soon
as it is ascertained that there are
no contests and no vacancies, and
the trouble of last year, when there
was so much delay all over the
State iu the printing of the ballots
will be averted.

DEEDS RECORDED.

cently been entered of record by

Clever Swindler in Operation.
H Substitute a Pair ot Worthiest Ey
Glastci lor a Good Pair.
Now you see ; now you don't 1
see.
This expression of illusionists and J
magicians fits exactly with the
methods employed by a swindler
who for the past few weeks has
been operating in the surrounding
towns, and who is probably in
Bloomsburg this week.
The swindler has been using a
very clever substitution game with
a pair of eye glasses. The man
sells the eye glasses to the party,
and by the way the first pair are
gold and fully worth the price paid
for them, but the swindling part
comes in a few days later, when
after making the sale he returns to
the party and asks to sec the glass
es aud while examining them he
cleverly substitutes a worthless pair
and leaves them with the victim.
At Sliamokiii several parties were
victimized before the swindle was
liscovered. The man was sought
for by the police of that place, but
at the hotel where he was stopping
it was found that he had departed.
.

A BlTluTO.
A big sight-seeing car, a type of
automobile seldom seen in Blootns
burg, made its appearance in this
town yesterday and attracted a good
deal of attention. The car, which
is owned by W. A. Heller, has just
roturned from Milton, where it was
in commission carrying people from
the town out to the fair ground.
In point of speed it is right up to
the smaller cars, while the interior
is comfortable and commodious
The car will seat twenty persons
without crowding. In cases of ne
cessity the big auto will carry fifty
five persons.
The car is being used at the
Bloomsburg fair this week.
CASE SETTLED.
The suit of Webb Wright against
the Town of Bloomsburg for dam
ages for injuries received by falling
over stones piled on the sidewalk
in front of the Western Union Tel
egraph office while the street pav
ing was in progress, has been set
tled for $50,00.
The United States Fidelity and
Guarantee Company, which was the
surety for Fowler and Melhck, the

as though the paving matter would
soon be amicably adjusted.

If you don't read it you will miss your chance. The
greatest magazines in this country have combined to be
offered together at a greatly reduced rate. Never before
was such an offer given to the public, and it is safe to
say never will be made again. This year several maga
zines have increased their subscription price, which
shows how much greater this offer really is. The only
reason we are making it to the people of this vicinity is
because the magazine finds they have not as many sub
scribers as they desire in this particular locality. But
only a limited number will be sold at this price, there
fore we advise every one to accept this offer without
delay. When we have received a certain number we
shall withdraw the offer.
