MRS. MILDRED SMITU ON MOTH
ERHOOD.
In speaking of Mrs. Mildred
Smith who has 'recently made sev
eral contributions to the Pictorial
Review on the subject of "Mother
hood," one of our locl cotempora-
ries says that her husband, Dr. It,.
F. Smith of New York City, "is a
grandson of the late Judge Elwell."
f his is not correct. Dr. Smith is
a great nephew of Mrs. Judge El
well.
Both Dr. and Mrs. Smith have
contributed many valuaole and in
teresting articles to various publi
cations. The former is a recog
nized authority on medical ques
tions, aud Mrs. Smith when writ
ing on "Motherhood" differs from
many women who write on domes
tic affairs, because she is fully con
versant with her subject, being the
mother of a number of children, ro
bust because of sanitary conditions
and intelligent care, and trained to
an admirable degree, so that what
she says is from practical knowl
edge, and not merely theoretical.
Some of the writers on similar
topics are maiden ladies who know
nothing about children, just as
some of the writers on the culinary
end of the household never pre
pared a meal in their lives. Mrs.
Smith is an expert in both lines.
She is a daughter of the late Col
Samuel Knorr, of Bloomsburg, aud
a graduate of Vassar College.

KURTZ WINS OUT.
After a long drawn out fight
former Associate Judge J. U. Kurtz
has been appointed postmaster at
Berwick, to suceed R. S. Bowman
who has held the office for tour
terms, and has given uerwicK
most efficient service. Judge Kurtz
will undoubtedly do the same.
Kurtz and Bowman represent
different factions of the Republican
nartv. between which there has
been a long fight for the control of
the organization. With the excep
tion of one year the Brown-McKil-
lip-Duy wing have held the reins
for many years, and are now in me
saddle, though Kurtz, who is the
leader of the other faction, has
just unhorsed Bowman, a taitntui
adherent ot the 'Teguiars.
NEWSPAPER CHANGES.
An advertisement is appearing in
The Republican giving notice that
application will be made for a char
ter for a corporation to De Known
as the Bloomsburg Publishing Com
pany. The incorporators are O
B. Ammerman. J. U. Brown, v.
Matthews, A. W. Duy, H. A. Mc
Killip. C. E. Geyer and C. E
Kreisher.
This means that the Republican
is to be held and controlled by the
gentlemen who have been the reg
ular Republican organization lead
ers for some years past.

SUNDAY CLOSING.
With the feeling that it is not the
duty of the town clergymen to act
as police officers in the matter ot
enforcing the Sunday closing laws,
the Ministerium has decided to
organize a iaw and uraer aocieiy,
so that the laymen can also partici
pate in the movement.
In answer to inquiries maae 10
several proprietors of the Sunday

no notice had been served on mem
by any officer, and they proposed
to continue until such notice was
given.

S;bool has decided to decorate and

OLIVER T. WILSON.
This Thursday morning at three
o'clock Oliver T. Wilson passed
away, at his home on West Main
street, after an illness extending
over a period of many years.
He was a victim of tuberculosis,
and had many times been seriously
ill from it, but each time he rallied
and was able to attend to business
again. His last sickness confined
him to his bed for several weeks
past.
Mr. Wilson was tor many years
engaged as a salesman for a whole
sale shoe house. He served several
terms as a director of Bloom Poor
District, arid was a member of the
board at the time of his death for
the fourth term of three years.
He also served as a director of
Bloom School District for nine
years, and as a public official he
was always faithful to his duties
and to the interests of the public.
Mr. Wilson was born in this
county on October 1st, 1834.
When a boy he lived in Pottsville
until he was 14 years old, and since
then his life was mostly spent here.
He clerked in J. A. Funston'e store
at Jerseytown, and for a time in
Waterman & Beaver's store in
Danville. He learned the saddler's
trade with J. K. Grotz.
He was the first man in Blooms
burg to start on the road as a trav
eling salesman, and that was forty
one years ago, when he engaged
with M. G. Piper & Co., of Phila
delphia, wholesale shoe dealers.
He had been in the employ of Bell,
Walt & Co.. of Philadelphia, - for
the past twelve years, in the same
line. That he was a good sales
man is evidenced by the fact that
his services were so long retained
by the houses which he represented.
He was twice married, his first
wife being a daughter of the late
B. F. Hartman. The following
children of that union survive him
Frank H., Harry, Charles P. Wil
son, and Mrs. J. D. White, all of
Bloomsburg. His second marriage
was with Miss Emma Appleman of
town, who also survives.
A son. Arthur, was killed some
years ago, by being caught in ma
chinery at the Red Mill. Two sis
ters, Mrs. Elizabeth Sweppenhei
ser, and Miss Jeuuie Wilson, reside
in Philadelphia.
The funeral will be held on Sat
urday afternoon at two o'clock, at
the house, and will be conducted
by Rev. I. W. Diggles, Rector of
St. PauVs Episcopal Church, of
which the deceased was a member.
AGED MAN DIES.
William N. Piper, aged 78, died
at his home near the Magee Carpet
Mill on Monday. l'or the past
four years he ha!-- been conducting
a grocery on West Fifth street,
near the Reading Depot. He is
survived by his wife and nine sons,
five of them residing 111 town, lhe
funeral takes place this afternoon.
