Hi Henry, the famous minstrel man, who has often appeared in Bloomsburg at the head of his min strel company, is dead. He was stricken with paralysis recently at his home near Boise, Idaho. He was born in Gowanda, N. Y., and later in life moved to Renovo, where he was employed in the Pennsylvania railroad shops for a short time. In his early days he was musically inclined and soon be came proficient on a cornet, being considered one of the best, cornetists in the United States. He organized a minstrel show and visited this town many times. He amassed a fortune in the business. Mrs. Henry Knorr of Aristes died at the Joseph Ratti Hospital last Thursday. Two days before she had her left foot amputated, but her death resulted from diabe tes, of which she had been a victim for some time. The amputation was made necessary by blood pois oning resulting from the cutting of a bunion. For headache Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain nil". People living in the upper end of Dauphin county say that they have never known so many deer to be seen in the ?even mountain ranges which cross the county iuto Perry. Deer have been rare in Dauphin until this spring, but this fall the number has increased to a surpris ing extent. The explanation is that the deer left the Juniata Valley be cause of the bre9 in the woods and sought shelter in Perry, where they crossed the Susquehanna into Dau phin county. That there are a number of bears aud deer on the Nescopeck moun tain is the report of farmers who live in that section. One day last week William Hertz, of Berwick, while bicycling along the creek, passed a small doe that was drink ing at the stream. The doe fled up the hilt at his approach. Bear tracks have been seen along the creek also, and it is believed that the drought has dried up the moun tain springs so that to get to water the wild animals must come near to civilization. A farmer saw three bear cubs across the creek with mother bear last week also. AlbraW. Baker, M.

Local weather prophets are al ready predicting a severe winter Thay contend that weeds have grown to an unusual height and that this indicates a severe winter and lots of snow, since nature caus es the weeds to crow tall, so that birds can feed upon the seeds when the ground is covered with snow. Another indication, it is contended, is the fact that squirrels carry their winter supply of grain Riid other food into hollow trees. When they deposit them in less secure places, like hollow fence rails, a mud win ter may be looked for. Said a farm er: "My great grandfather used to say that whenever there was a good crop of persimmons the In dians would provide themselves with a good supply of buffalo meat for thev were sure of a severe win ter. The persimmon crop is a pro line one this year and you can look for a severe winter. A close ob server had this to say: "A dry summer is invariably followed by a winter with lots of snow.

The complete novel is of an unusual type, with Hawaii as a background. The writer, Jessie Krmfman, lived for some tune in this ' Paradise of the Pacific," and she gives us a most realistic picture of life there. Her character drawing is wonder ful, aud one cannot out suspect that she has taken the liberty of sketch ing various people whom she has met. The plot has to do with the mysterious disappearance of a cost ly jewel during one of the delight- fnl social functions characteristic of the Islands. Circumstances point to the guilt of one of two men, both of whom seem to be above suspicion, liut the real culprit is filially revealed, and all rends hap pily, though not beforejthere has ensued a series of entanglements complications which wou'd prove most harrowing in real life, and which in the story keep the reader constantly on the qut vive to see what is going to happen next. There is the usual array of clever short stories, the most noteworthy being "The School-mother," by Owen Oliver; "The Pinhead," by Caroline Lockhert; "The Angel of Happy Hollow," by Luellen Cass Teters; "Cupid and a Call," by Edith Morgan Willett, and "The Lone Huntsman," by Joseph A. Altsheler. Herbert Dunlap writes of "The Racial Pot-pourri on the Isthmus." George L. Knapp discourses enter tainingly on "The Service of Fear." Mrs. La Salle Corbell Piclcett con tributes "A Memory of Pickett s Brigade." There is also a striking and illuminative article on "Found er's Week," Philadelphia's big cel ebration marking her 225th birth day. All who have thought of visiting the City of Brotherly Love during the week beginning October 4 will do well to read this paper. Poems by wen Known singers and the humorous section, Wal nuts and Wine," complete the number a very creditable one. Wise and Otherwise. "Pa !" "Well, what is it?"

The following extract from an address delivered recently by Dr. II. Snow, of the state board of health, at the convention of the representatives of third cla-s cities in Altoona, will he read with inter- t by the people of Bloomsburg, Inasmuch as Dr. Snow, who was authorized to speak for Dr. Dixon, makes clear the purposes of the state health authorities in reference to sewage disposal, and stated that the financial standing and borrow ing possibilities of cities and towns were always carefully considered before a demand was made to erect new sewage plants. Dr. Snow said it is ever the desire of the health authorities to be right than popu lar. Dr. Dixon, for whom he was authorized to speak officially, would be willing to change any orders giveu if it could be clearly shown that such change would best serve the interests of the public health. As to the matter of pro-ceding against corporations and manufac turers for stream pollution, lis said the department is not waging a warfare against the operations ol industries on account of trade wastes, else many plants would be compelled to close down. These rrnrlf ivastps ln nvprrpd. kill fish i. 1 !.:..- .,a !, o. idity of water caused by drainage while unfit for use by manufactur ing companies, becomes again suit able for a water supply as the stream widens aud increases in vol ume. There is a vast differencebs twecn a nuisance and a menace and it is when the former becomes the latter that the department takes ac tion. The wastes of the human body are deadly poison. They con tain live germs instead of chemical poison that live for days after being deposited in the water, and it is al ways unsafe to drink water in which sewage is deposited. The filter is one safeguard, though a temporary shutdown of the filtration system may cause disease. As to the al leged hardship placed by the de partment on towns unable to bear the expense of erecting costly plants the doctor said a misconception of the real objects and purposes of the department exists in the minds of those making these charges. In no case has this been done, the officials ever considering the financial stand ing, indebtedness and borrowing possibilities of towns asked to move in this direction. In not a few cases have costly blunders been made in sewer con struction by cities, that could have been prevented had the assistance of the department been secured; therefore such plans must now be placed before the board for its ap proval before the same will be sanc tioned. In cities where the proper funds are not available it is often possible to have sewage disposal plants constructed by private capi tal, to become the property of the municipality after a certain number of years, and he would recommend the encouragement of this plan. The convention seemed very much alive to the points covered by the doctor in his address and at its conclusion many questions were asked. As to the question of se curing state aid for the erection of the necessary plants he said that in every instance wnere a aecree nas been issued the financial condition of the town has been considered and specific instructions gtven to govern the case. That Girl Minnie Ha-Ha, There will be on exhibition at the Columbia County fair, Octo ber 6-9, one of the strangest of all humau beings, Minnie Ha-Ha, the Australian Bush Girl. She is the only one that represents her pecu liar race of people alive in America. Stands 3 feet, '9 inches in height, weighs 39 pounds, and when angry has the strength of two men com bined. The many moods of Min nie Ha-Ha are a source of contin ued interest. One moment she is quiet and gentle, mimictcing an sorts of people and things, and the next moment she displays spitetui, weird and vindictive feelings, be ing turned by the slightest circum stance. She readily understands all that is said in her presence in English. Her own language, that of the Aus tralian Bushman, she has forgot ten, so lone is it since she was brought to this country. Her rest lessness is pronounced, she never sitting down during the day, and a nurse being required to keep her In bed at night. She relishes being on exhibition, and as this will be her first appearance in Bloomsburg there is no doubt but what That Girl Minnie Ha Ha will be the leading attraction at the great Col umbia uounty rair A man likes to take an interest in politics so aa to be able to damn the Government harder.
