By a combination between the dairymen and the retail milk deal ers the prices of milk and cream nave been raised as follows: Milk, 7 cents per quart; pint, 4 cents; skim milk, 4 cents per quart; cream, 10 cents per quart. This is a raise of one cent a quart on milk, and four cents on cream. The fanners say that they are lorced to advance the wholesale price because of the high cost of feed, and the retailers say they are obliged to get more because the fanners demand more for their milk, but neither of them attempt to show any necessity for an ad vance of 33'. percent, on cream. The housewives are up in arms over the matter, and many fjtnilies have cut down their milk supply. Some of the milk men say that they have carried home about half their milk because they could not dispose of it. Grocers say that the demand for condensed milk has greatly increas ed since the new schedule went into effect last Monday. It is true that the cost of feed has advanced, but so has the price of all kinds of grain and produce that the farmers sell. Just when the fight will end is not sure, but many householders are declaring they will not pay the price, as it looks like an arbitrary increase not based on domestic economics. l'RICK GOKS DOWN AGAIN. Since the above was in type a change has taken place. A meeting of the milkmen was held Wednes day evening at Warren Kressler's, and it was decided to return to the oUl price. By this action the milk men will retain customers who had cut out the milk habit, or reduced tueir purchases, and tne war is over, for the present at least.

There are few men in Pennsyl vania, if indeed there are any in any state, who have been in the po litical arena as long as Judge Wil liam Kiickbanm, who has just been elected for a second term of five years as Associate Judge of the courts of Columbia county. This term will begin on the first Monday of January, 1908, and should he live to complete it, he will have held public office for forty-one years. He has held nearly every office in the county, except Register and Recorder, Sheriff, and Treasurer, though he has filled the positions of deputy sheriff and deputy treas urer. His first position of a public character was that ot tax collector of Mifflin township, and he was al so constable of the same township. He was commissioners' clerk from December 1st, 1866101879, when he was elected Prothonotary, aud served two terms until 1SS4. In 1.S88 he went to the legislature and I was re-elected in 1890. In 1896' he became a county commissioner , and served six years, and in 1902 he was elected Associate Judge, which office he has filled up to the present time. Mr. Krickbaum was born in Cat awissa township, September 17, 1835, was educated in the public schools, the Millville Seminary and the Dickinson Seminary of Wil liaiusport. He was a public school teacher for twelve terms. He has had many hot politica! battles, and while he made many friends he also made many enemies. Numerous combinations have been made to defeat him, but he has met with uniform success, about the only failure being in his candidacy for Prothonotary at one time, when he was defeated bv William if. Snyder by half a delegate. His record has been a most re markable one, and while there is a difference of opinion as to his polit ical motives, all will agree that he has been a shrewd politician, and Ins sagacity has been frequently displayed uot only in securing sup port for himself, but in helping his friends who sought political prefer ment, and usually with success. Judge Krickbaum has announced that he will not again be a candi date for office. A hne new line ot Vvcddinjr in vitations just received at this office. Library Meeting and Report The mouthly meeting of the Di rectors of the Public Library was held Monday afternoon in Col Freeze's office. The usual routine business was transacted. The number of volumes now upon the shelves, catalogued, has passed the 6,000 mark. The report of the librarian showed over two thousand volumes taken out during the month, aud over 1200 reading room visitors during the same time With great regret the Board was called upon to accept the resigna tion of Miss Blanche Williams, who for two years has so efficiently filled the position of Assistant Librarian Miss llhams showed great apti tude in this work, was unusually well adapted to children, and capa ble iu planning and shaping their reading. The directors and patrons of the library will miss her pleasant face and kindly service. Mrs. Wigfall, Mrs. Hartnan and Mrs. Dillon were appointed a com mittee on nomination to arrange for the election of directors to take the places of those whose terms expire on January 1. The treasurer's report shows the following balances to her credit Nov. 1 : Book fund, $76.29 ; maintenance fund, $89.16 ; endow ment fund, $25.75. The directors by formal action deplored the disbanding of the Civic Club, aud with it the very energetic library committee of this same club, through whose vigorous work, aud wise management the Public Library became possible. They further request that the ladies of the towu who are interest ed iu the library, meet at their earliest convenience to organize a Ladies' Library Auxiliary to con tinue the work of the old Library Committee. The growth of the Library has been phenomenal, the good that it is doing for the town cau not be esti mated. The movement is one of in terest to all. Every friend should stand by it. The book of registration shows only 2800 names. We would urge everyone interested to regis ter, use the library and give it their moral and financial support. The strength of a town lies in the intel ligence of its citizens and a public library makes it possible for the lowliest to know the greatest and best that man has attained. o re t uTIl. .

When the people of Danville learned of the Hyke-Spcrring "af finity" case which only a few days ago stirred Philadelphia and Dan ville, they thought the sensational nature of the episode would be enough to supply them with gossip for some time to come. Now, less than a week after, another "affini ty" has been found in Danville, and the denouement in this instance was in some respects even more startling than in the first one. On Thursday night a detective, II T. Martz, of Reading, came to D.mville to look, he told ths police, for J. J. Higgins. They directed him to his man, who was found at 212 Lower Mulberry street, with a young woman to whom he claimed to be married. The detective at once wired to another woman, who arrived iu Danville that night. She claimed to be Mrs. Higgins No. 1, and there seems to be no plausible reason to doubt her assertion. Last January, J. J. Higgins came to Danville, b:ingiug with him a tonner Danville girl, Miss Anna Ileiin. They said they had just been married in Reading, and ex hibited a marriage certificate. Ilig gins said he was a physician and a graduate of Johns Hopkins Uni versity. He maintained a doctor's carriage and a fine horse, although he never attempted to practice. Their home, on Lower Mulberry street, was handsomely furnished and the couple lived 111 sumptuous style, Mrs. Higgins or Miss Heim, appearing in costly gowns. Dan ville accepted the couple as man aud wife, and the comment caused by the return ol Miss Ileitn and Mr. Higgins to Danville had long ago died out. Great was the sen sation w hen the story of the alleged deserted wife became known. Mrs. Higgins No. 1 on her ar rival in Danville employed a law yer and the Reading detective was sent to the Higgins home. Mr Higgins was brought to the office of the lawyer and when confronted bv lu's real wife his surprise and consternation almost prostrated him. Mrs. Higgins says she and Mr Higgins are natives of Norwalk, Conn., where both came from good families. They had been happily married for about twelve years Mr. Higgins was a professional nurse. One of the charges that came under his care was au aged man who, when he died, left a leg acy of $2500 to Higgins. When Higgins came iuto his money his wile was ou a visit with relatives iu Norwalk, Conn. She never heard from him after that and although she had maintained a vigorous search it was only re cently she stumbled upon a clew She learned iu Reading that just before her husband's disappearance he had been seen much 111 the com pauy of Miss Heim. She employed a detective, who traced the girl to Dauviile and found Higgins with her. At the attorney's office a pitiful scene was enacted. Mrs. Higgins begged her husband to return to her. But he was obdurate and each steadfast refusal seemed to add to her desire to win back his love Higgins, however, would listen to neither the pleadings of his wife nor the advice of the attorney. He announced his unalterable iutentiou of staying ia Danville with his "soul's love," be the consequences what they may. Finding that her entreaties were in vain Mrs. Higgins proceeded with a part of the program which up this time had beeu kept in the background. Mr. and Mrs. Hig gins during their married life had amassed property of some propor tions. The money they had earned they had invested in real estate in Norwalk, Conn., and in New York city, which is valued at about $io,ooo. At a word from Mrs. Higgins the attorney explained to the erring husband that there were several charges in connection with his de sertion of his wife that if pushed would prove serious, and that it was her intention to take the mat ter into the courts unless he signed over to her his half share iu the property which they owned jointly. This, however, he would be com pelled to do only if he persisted in his determination to stay with his affinity. It was a hard question for Higgins to decide, but the' 'af finity" won. Reluctantly he at tached his name to the paper that took away from him his fortune. Once more Mrs. Higgius told her husband he was welcome to return to her aud that she would forgive all if he would but reuouuee the girl who had separated them. Her appeal was iu vain and she left alone, as she had come, for New York city. The "affinity," Miss Heim, is 23 years old and a girl of striking beauty. She has a wealth of jet DO IT NOW! !

THE NEW UNION STATION AT WASHINGTON. All the passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad will enter and depart from the new Union Station at Wash ington on November 17, 1907, and on the same date the present station at Sixth and B Streets will be closed to traffic. The date is singularly fitting. In 1S07 both wings of the Capitol were completed, and now a century later a build ing even larger is opened for a great public utility, which did not exist at that time. The railroad terminal facilities at Washington have been inadequate for years, particularly at inauguration periods and on the assemblage of other large gatherings at the CapitoL Tueir Improvement was imperative and so it has come about that, by the combined effort of the railroads and the United States Government, one of the largest and unquestionably the handsomest railroad station in the world is now provided not only for the convenience of the citizens of the United States, bnt as a notable architectural addition to the great public buildings of the Capital City. It is a monumental edifice and a worthy type of the future structures, which will make Washington the municipal beauty spot of the world. The station including the Concourse is longer than the Capitol and nearly as wide. The waiting room is larger than the hall of the House of Representatives. The con course, which is the train lobby, is longer than the interior of the Capitol building, if it were" one continuous hall, and half as wide. It is the largest building ever constructed for a ' like purpose. Within this great structure there is every convenience the traveler can desire, so grouped about the central hall as to serve his purpose to the best advantage, The lofty arched entrances face a plaza as large as an or dinary city park, which will be laid out as a plaza and adorn- ' ed with shrubbery and fountains. The trackage is sufficient for all demands upon it and as the entrance to and exit from the trains are separated, the "'. confusion and jostling of hurrying crowds moving in opposite directions will be obviated. The bigness of the station is impressive; its utilities ob vious. ! I-!4-2I-at. black hair and black eyes. Her oval face possesses a natural white ness which is intensified by the dark hair and eyes.
