To the Voters of all Parties in Colom
bia County.
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.

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

THE MARRIAGE RELATION.
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." Democrats, do your duty on elec
tion day. The election of the Dem
ocratic ticket will be well worth the
time you spend in going to the elec
tion. It the Democrats do their
duty Columbia county can look foi
a three thousand majority.

ALL ABOUT THE WINTER RESORTS.
Have you msde your plans for the winter outinp-?
The I 'ennsylvania Railroad Company will issue Novem

the Winter and Spring. to

Gult coast from the western border of Florida to the Kio

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. "Nobody s Claim
