BLOOMSBUBG CITI ZENSJDGGESTIONS Columbia County contains 479 square miles and a population of 40,000. Moutour County contains 140 square miles and a population of about 17,- 000. Northumberland County cou r tains 462 square miles and a population of over 90,000. The North Branch of the Susquo hauua divides each one of tho three nouuties, an I makes practically an equal division of territory—one North aud the other South of the river—thus giving the people of tho respective territory access to their county seat. Bloomsburg, for the north aud Suubury lor the sooth, without being impeded by tho river.but leaving each portion all the access to the rivor which it now has. It would give to each Columbia aud Northumberland 540 square miles. It is true, Moutour would be restored to Columbia where she belongs; and also that a portion of Northumberland which was origiually part of Colum bia. A mere glance at tho map shows that it is an improvement every way, over the now territorial arrangement. Bloomsburg would bo near tho center of the proposed new county, aud ao oessible by rail or trolley to all its in habitants. As for Sunbury, it always was at one side aud would remain so. It is possible there might be a little constitutional difficulty, but "what is constitution between friends" The proposed re-adjustment would disturb uo industry, but would facili tate and increase business intercourse —would bieak up uo political ties or arrangements, for we are now aud would te then subtsantially at one in party alignments.—Bloomsburg Daily. EMERSON'S DEATH STILL A riYSTERY SEATTLE,June 23.-Tho facts lead ing up to tho shooting of 001. Elward Emerson, Jr., war correspondent of tho New York World, ill tlio Ear East,are related by K. L. Dunn, correspondent in Koroa for an American weekly magazine, who has reached here. Mr. Dunn made this statement after boiiig informed that Col. Eniirsou was dead : "001. Emerson, as a military man, was well aware of tho positions occu- | pied by Japanese soldiers. Some time ago he mado the announcement that he iuteuded togo through tho Russian lines and work from that vuutago point. " When it came to tho ears of the Japanese military authorities that Emerson intended to take this step an officer approached another representa tive of Emerson's paper and informed liiui that if he took such a stop tho goverwent could scarcely bo further responsible for his safety. "I contemplated u move similar to that outlined by Emerson," said Mr. Dunn, "but the .Tapaueso made it clear that it would not be wise for me to proceed. Emerson held papors which would have carried him through the Russian lines in safety. In view of these facts, I am inclined to think the real story of his death has not been learned." HOW TO SEE FAIR AT A MlNlflUM OF COST Seeing the World's Fair can bo made tlie least expeusivo of luxurios to Dan ville peoplo if judgment is used in tlio matter of expenditure. It requires only economical oare to keep a visit or's daily expenses down to the min imum cost ol living in any American oity, with a few conts added for ad missions aud the purchase of souven irs. As in every city aud under all cir cumstances the soale of hotel pricos in St. Louis has a wide range, but the visitor has only to dotermino what price he wishos to pay and reasonable accommodations are oasily procured. On the European plan these rates run from 50 cents to $5 a day, aud meals oan be purchasod at a cost of from 15 oents up. Boarding housos, where both room aud meals can bo had at from $5 to $lO a week, are abundant in the most de sirable residenco district of St. Louis. More than fifty tomporary hotels have been erected. For the convenience of visitors and to prevent impositions being practiced upon them by unscrupulous landlords, the World's Fair management has oompiled aud published for free dis tribution a complete list of rcliablo hotels aud reputable boardiug houses where accommodations may bo had. There are more than 150 established hotels in the oity.audall of these have entered into an agroemeut with tho exposition not to raise their rates. Up to this time this contract lias been faithfully lived up to and with the immenso capacity of all these ho tels oombinod the pricos of private boarding houses have been satisfactor ily regulated. It is now not only possi ble to get accommodations of most any kiud.but at the most reasonable figuro. With tho restaurants the World's Fair city and the Exposition aro both woll provided and as tho visitor is mostly upon the go while in St. Louis these are found more convenient than tlie pretentious dining rooms of hotels and private homes.

DESTRUCTIVE FREIGHT WRECK A froight wreck unque in Beverail respects took place on the S. H. & W. division near Bine Hill shortly after midnight Sunday morning. Three west-bound freight trains, it appears, worn passing down over the division. The first one stopped to take water at South Danvillo, the rear end of tho train extending nearly as far as Blue Hill. The usual precautions were taken to prevent a rear euil col lision. The engineer gave the signal for starting and the flaginau was call ed in. Tho train, however, had no more than got started, when the second freight drawl, by engine No. 1641 came rolling around tho curve. The tiag uian had just loft his post aud with out any warning of dauger the second train kopt on with undiminished speed aud crashed into the roar end of the first train, which had not got under anything like full headway. Tho train struck had two cabooses attached, the next car being one load ed with slate. The crash was a terrif io one and so sudden as to loave the trainmen but a mere moment of time in which to save their lives. They all jumped, however, aud were fortunate enough to escape the mixup, although a couplo were thrown down over the river hank and got a serious tumble. As engine No. HS4I struck the freight it ploughed in under tho two oaboases and threw thera up on top of the next car loaded with slate, which in turn the locomotive demolished. By this time there v a big pile of wreckage on tho spot with ongino No. IG4I smash ed aud battered, lying under the mix- lii n few moments time tlio whole mass took fii-o and from that hour un til nearly morning the entire locality around Blue Hill including the river nearly as far as this city was illumin ated by an immense bou fire. The earn belonging to the train whose engine was wrecked werepullod baok to Cata wissa by tho engine of the third train, which was following on closely behind. When morning dawned the wreck was nearly all eaten op by fire, about all that remained being the locomo tive, w'lich presented a dismantled ap pearance, its cabin and other wood work being entirely consumed, in ad dition to which it had lost its pilot and smoke stack in tho collision. The locomotive, however, was still on the rails and was easily moved. During the forenoon it was towed toSunbury. Tho track was opeu for traffic by 9 a. in.

It is said that during the celebra tion of Bunker Hill day in Boston last woek three hundred persons were in jured through the uso of toy pistols, firecrackers and other explosives, aud that this has revived talk about tho folly of this kind of fun. Whatever Boston may or may not do, this comes as a warning to every town as to use of toy pistols on the Fourth of July. Wherever statutes, ordinances or police regulations pro vent it these engines of death should he eliminated and thoso who sell them should bo arrested. The firecrackers that contain high explosives should be troated in the saiuo way, together with the sollers. Nobody should bo permitted to use any kind of pistol oil the Fourth or during any celebration. Tlio man who uses any explosive carelessly—ovou to tlin smallost firocrackor—should be ar rested. It is not nocessary to out oil' tlio uso of all makers of glad noist-.s, but tlioir reckloss uso should bo prevented or stopped. Tlio police of Harrisburg will prevent the sale or use of toy pistols on the Fourth. That should be a hint to the police of all otfior cities. —Harrisburg Telegraph. Pennsylvania Chautauqua.

THE PROPUSED RIVER BBIDGE The plans aud spociflcatioiiH for the new highway bridge ovor the Susque hauup river betweeu Danville aud South Danville have arrived at the offioe of the Oouuty Commissioners. It is claimed that the proposed bridge will be the fluost yet erected by the State. Whethor this is exactly the case or not may be open to somo ques tion.

WANT PARTY SQUARE ON BALLOT CUT OUT The fate of tho "party square" on tho official ballot of Pennsylvania de pends on tho ultimate decision in a ease argued this week in Philadelphia. For eleveu years the voters of this state have been permitted to vote any of tho regular party tickets t>y a single cross mark in a square or circle on tho ballot, while those who desired to exerciso discriminating judgment as to individual candidates of various parties have been compelled to mark separately each name 011 tho ticket. In the proceeding pending in court it is charged that the "party square" is a violation of Section 5 of Article 1 of tho state constitution which stipu lates that "olections shall bo free and equal." The State Banks. Robert McAfee, commissioner of banking, has transmitted to Govern or Penuypacker tho annual report of the state department of banking on the condition ot tho building and loan as sociation of Pennsylvania ar the closo of the yoar 1903. Tho report contains the following exhibit of the assets, liabilities,recoipts and disbursements, etc., of the 1,19 C building associations making report to tho department for 1903. Assets and liabilities $117,81)1, - 778.93, an increase of $3,975,758.89 over 1902; receipts and disbursements $04,- 400,811.65, an incroaso of $3,975,924.17 over 1902; number of associations re porting 1,190; number of shares bor rowed on, 959,384; number of shares not borrowed 011, 1,028,308; total shares in force at tho ond of businoss year, 2,287,092; number of sharehold ers, 313,193; uumhor of homes built or purchased 8,754. Mr. Me A fee recom mends that legislation bo enacted to restrain the unlawful business con ducted by a certain class of building and loan associations chartered by the state in order to more fully safeguard those who contido their money to tho care of those associations. He says that there has, in rocent yoais, crept into these associations practices that were more contemplated by those corporations and which are not for tho best intorests of their stockholders. Ho also recommends legislation for those companies generally incorporat ed in foreign states and pormitted by tho laws of Pennsylvania to do busi ness in this state homo co-operative associations,home building companies, aud realty and bond investment com panies.
