On Friday evening there will be given in the Columbia Theatre an entertainment under the auspices of the Citizens' Band, which will in clude a minstrel entertainment for the first part, and a baud concert for the second part. Rehearsals have been going on for some time, and the entertain meut promises to be one of the best, if not the very best of the kind, ever given here. The musical pirt will be under the leadership of Prof. Chas. P. Elwall, who will direct the band and orchestra. The business management is in the hands of Edmund Savidge. The Citizens Band is an organiza tion of which the town has every reason to be proud. There are few better ones outside of the cities, and not many there. The Band has given its services freely on ma ny occasions, and it has given open air concerts that have delighted thousands. f Now, when they are asking for'help, they are entitled to a vety liberal patronage. It takes money to run a band. Instruments, uniforms, music, and many other items of expense must be met in some way. They are not asking for donations, but are offering an evening's enjoyment that will be a very. large equivalent for the price of a ticket. A good brass band is a necessity in every up-to date community. Bloomsburg is up-to-date. It has a splendid brass band. Help it along by your patronage. The following program will be rendered: TART ON B. Minstrels. Overture. End Song. Solo. Company and Orchestra. I Was a Hero. Paul Harman. For nil Eternity. Frank Hower. End Song.

Two Williamsport ladies who placed well filled market baskets in convenient places while they did some additional shopping, returned to find that enterprising sneak thieves had appropriated the bask ets and their contents. The moral of this is, keep your basket with you. C. M. Crkvkmno C. A. Kucim Dr. J. J. Brown M. Milmusex RECENT DEATHS. JOHN I?. KKLI.Y. John F.

CORONER BRENNBN'S WIFE DIES, Mrs. Ro jert Brennen, wife of the Coroner of Columbia county, and one of the best known women in Centralia, died at her home in that place ou Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock. Death was due to apo plexy. She was aged 48 years. Mrs. Brennen, whose maiden name was Kate Langdon, was a teacher in the public schools of Centralia for twenty-three years. She had the greatest respect of all who knev her. Eesides being an active member of St. Ignatius Roman Catholic church she was a member of the La dies' Auxiliary to the Ancient Or der of Hibernians and of the Sanc tuary Society of the Catholic church. Besides her husband she is sur vived by the following children: Miss Nellie Brennen, school teach er at Mid Valley; Miss Rose Bren nen and Robert, Ignatius and Ma ry Breuueu, all of whom reside at home.

In terment will be made in the St. Ig natius Catholic cemetery. ANOTHER FIRE. The third fire within two weeks occurred on Tuesday night. At about 9 o'clock the roof of the res idence of Barton Shaffer on Eighth street was discovered to be in flames. The fire alarm soou called the several fire companies to the scene, and the fire was soon under control. The fire was first seen and the alarm given by Mrs. E. J. Brown who lives near by. All the household goods on the first floor, and nearly all on the sec ond were removed. Thr2e bed room suits, carpets, and other arti cles in the attic were destroyed. There was insurance on the build ing, but none on the goods. Mr. Shaffer has been unfortunate with fire. Two years ago he lost bis barn, horse, wagons, and every thing in the barn. The cause of the fire is a mys tery, as there was no fire in the house except in the kitchen stove. There are no electric wires in the house, and no one had been in the attic for some days. Potatoes are now selling at 1.20 to 1.25 a bushel. The reason for the high price is said to be the short crop last season. 1 -COMPTROLLER'S CALL.- RKI'ORT OF THR 0e QKfoomsButg At the Close of Business April 28, 190S. RESOURCES. U. S.
