We have but one State officer to vote for this fall and we have nom inated for that office a young man from our good old Columbia coun ty. A man who is worthy, honest, and upright. Since he is from our home county we ought to take pride enough and interest enough to turn out and give the ticket a very large vote. Do not fail to go to the election and cast your ballot cn election day, November 5th. J. H. Mercer, Chairman. 1 Don't Be Mislead. The new primary election law fixes the hours of voting from 3 to 8 o'clock in the afternoon. This, it seems, is confusing some voters, who got the idea that the polls would be open until 8 o'clock at the General and Spring Elections. Such is not the case. Polls are open as formerly, from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. H. W. CriAMPLIN M.D. EYE, EAR, NOSE ANO THROAT. Particular attention to examining and treat in children's ayes. Ent Build In Bloomsburg, Pa my 1 L5J A PARCELS POST. A Proposition That Interests tho Public. The determination of the post master general to make a vigorous campaign for the establishment of an adequate parcels post and a pos tals saving system is much com mended, though there seems to be no litt!e opposition to the scheme in some quarters, and a keen appre ciation of such opposition has hith erto prevented any of Mr. Meyer's predecessors in office from going into the fight. There will be some legal obstacles to overcome, and they will, undoubtedly, be made the most of by those opposed to the reform, but there is no doubt that they can be overcome if Congress really desires it. it is expected that a hue and cry will go up from some short-sighted bankers, from som merchants, and from the sen ior senators from New York, Piatt, the head of one of the four express companies in the country, who, it is expected, will protest against any interferences with these grasping and filching common carriers. Nev ertheless Mr. Meyer is convinced that great advantage will accrue to the public from these reforms and he has the sympathy and support of all classes of people in his efforts to secure the parcels post, and af ford the public a means of forward ing small articles through the mails at a less rate than now charged by the express companies. A New Mystery Story "Under the Black Cassock." One of the best mystery stories we have read in a long time is Edith Morgan Willett's novel "Under the Black Cassock," which is published complete in the Nov ember Lippincotfs. The opening scenes are laid in New York, after which the action shifts to Charles ton, and the characters are society folk of the intelligent, well bred kind which really exists, and not at all the hysteric, exotic, little short of idiotic sort that are pictured so often in the so-called society stones. The plot is an ingenious one, and the denouement is quite unexpect ed. Among the shorter fiction is a charming story called "The First Hurdle," by John Reed Scott, who won recognition with bis two novels, "The Colonel of the Red Huzzars" and "Beatrix of Clare.' "The Blood o' Innocence," by George L. Knapp, is a strongly dramatic story o a feud in ling land in the days when men wore swords. "The Old Folks at Home," by Sarah Chichester Page, is a de lightful sketch of Virginia life Other noteworthy contributions in the fiction line are by Mabel Nel son Thurston, George Brydges Rod ney, Joseph M. Rogers, and Mrs. E. Ayrton-Zangwill. There is another of Mrs. John van Vorst's excellent Parisian articles, this time on "French School-Girls of To-day." Other papers are "A Canadian Heronry," by Bonny castle Dale ; "The Brutality of the Matinee Girl," by Juliet Wilbor Tompkins; "The Vehicle of Dis ease," by Lewis B. Ely ; "Madame Nazimova A Comparison," by Anna McClure Sholl; and "Ap prenticeship in Letters," by Rene Bache. Some exceptionally good verses and the usual department of humor "Walnuts and Wine," com plete the number. Female Doctor lor Jerseytown. Dr. Shuman, of Jerseytown, has sold his practice aud his home to Dr. Genevieve Klase, wife of Dr. Harry Klase, of Danville. The consideration was $1,500. Dr. Shuman has bought from Dr. F. W. Redeker, of Bloomsburg, his home and practice, the amount paid being $10,000. Dr. Shuman will move to Bloomsburg and prac tice there. Dr. Shuman is one of the best known physicians in this section. He has been at Jerseytown for 17 years and has built up a large prac tice. Every Vote Counts One. As there are only three offices to fill this fall it will take but a mo ment to vote. Do not fail to tro to the polls and vote for Ilarmau, for State Treasurer; Knckoaum, ior Associate Tudce. and Boyd Tres- cott for County Surveyor. Respectfully, J. II. Mercer, Chairman. VOTE FOR Wri.

Before Marriage Man Should Show Ability to Support Family. In an article 011 the manv deser tion cases, iu which a wife and chil dren are left in want and distress, the Chester Morning Republican says: "What the remedy is for this state of affairs is not plain. The State manifestly cannot guar antee any woman that the man she marries shall always have employ ment, or that having employment, he will devote his earnings to her care and that of their children. Ho waver, it does seem possible that men contemplating matrimony could be compelled to show ability to maintain a family at the time of marriage. Even so weak a measure as this would probably lessen the number of improvident and reckless marriages. It is a difficult problem. It will not be solved until sonic method is found to punish wife de serters by confinement in which they will be forced to work and turn the proceeds over to their fam ilies."

The I 'ennsylvania Railroad Company will issue Novem be 1, its Winter Excursion Book, containing about 200 pages of information concerning the various resorts open durinr the Winter and Spring. to From this book one may make a choice of nearly tv hundred resorts the east and west coasts of Florida; tLe Gult coast from the western border of Florida to the Kio Grande; New Mexico, Arizona, California, and the Pacific Coast. If one cannot find time for so extended a trip, there are the Virginia, West Virginia, or North Carolina results, only a day's journey from eastern cities. Health seekers will turn to the pages devoted to the places in the highlands of North Carolina, the long leaf pine region of South Carolina and Georgia, or the nearby resorts in the pines of New Jersey. Among the all-the year-around seaside points, Atlantic City and Cape May stand pre-eminent. Winter Excursion tickets to the greater number of the resorts listed in this book, and good for return passage until late in the Spring, will be on sale on and after November 1. Full information concerning winter trips and copies of the Winter Excursion Book, when issued, may be obtained of Ticket Agents. Nobody's Claim. In this stage of realism it is not uncommon to witness a stage pro duction, especially comedy dramas of the type of J. M. Jacobs' "No body's Claim," whose scenes are mimic counterparts of most thrill ing incident. "Nobody's Claim" possesses a dramatic story aud in tense climaxes with pathos and laughter blended in masterly style. A western blizzard is rapidly whirl ing snow in drifts over the benumb ed Utile heroine, who is saved from death by Ward Devereaux, the hero, who is on hand to save an express train from wrecking by a gang of out-laws calling themselves "Owls." Realistic effect is gained by the passing of the express at full railroad speed. For his inter ference the hero is lured to the cabin occupied by the Owls, and here again the author has shown the ability to introduce and formu late, naturally as part of the story, incidents that thrill audiences to the core, and rouse the gallery to cheering demonstrations ot approv al. Into this crime stained den comes the bright little heroine Madge, and nobly stands behind the man she loves, cuts the cords that bind him and leads him from an awful fate in the burning cabin. There have been many vivid rep resentations of stage fires, but the liberal expenditure for special scenery and their skilled mechanics enable J. M. Jacobs to show a room entirely surrounded by smoke and names aud part of it collapses en tirely, thus making the rescue a penlous one.
