NEW METHOD OFJOLICITING The Soldiers' Monument Committee from now on will adopt anew method in the soliciting ot funds. The solicit ors have oarried the house to house oanvaas to what they oonsider the limit, having approached as many heads of families as possible. Tho large number that they were unable to »ee are men employod at our various indaatrles, working either ou day or night turn. The objeot now is to meet these men and the following plan has been deoided upon. If agreeable to the management the committee will visit the men at the varions works in town, selecting as far at possible the uoon hour or some other period that will interfere little or not at all with the work. The Dauville Stove and Manufactur ing Company was the one to take the Initiative in the matter aud the com mittee was given full permission to enter the works. The committee has already cauvassed several departments of the Stove Works, hot it has the foundry yet to see. The noon hour will be employed during some day this week in soliciting from the monldeis. The Committee is much giatifted at the sucreis attouding this method aud see in it a solution of the whole difli cnlty of raising money needed for the Soldiers' Monument. Thev have hopes that those in charge of the other in dustries of town will follow the ox ample of Qeueral Manager W. A. Seohli r aud graoioußly permit tho so licitors to sen the cmplojos at the works, which is about thn only time that many of these onpable and gener ous fellows can be seen by the com mittee. Hon. James Foster, Presideut of the Soldiers' Monument Committee,states that it was decided at the last meeting to print later on the fall list of eon tributors to the mounmeut fond in the dally newspaper. MINOR MATTERS fJNTEREST Baring yesterday afternoon whilo tilings were very dull out of doors and the rain drops pattered drearily on the window pane a few old timers gather ed arouud Oomuiissiouers'Clerk Horaco Bine and began to talk over old times. Somebody wantod to know what be came of the Joer that used to be kept ou the Oourt House lawn when the ground was enclosed with a high pick et fence of iiou. Another wanted to know how long ago the deer were re moved. Now the genial Commissioners' Olerk is uot only an authority on County government, ou politics and the laws governing election,but he al so has a rich fund of other informa tion on hand. Coming back to the deer, he said, they were an attraction about the Court House until about 1890, when they were sold. They wore thero for many years. During the in terval two little fawns were added to the number and grew up to uiaturitj, Iu 187(1, the old buck, known as "Colonel," met a tragic death. The story is a remarkable one, but Horace vouches for lt lt was late in the fall—the day after tho election. The news had just reached the Court House that Samuel J. Tilden was elect ed. It is a tradition that at the moment when the result of the elec tion was announced the buck, always contented and at peace at the Court House before, with a single bound leaped out of the giouuds and escaped What may have prompted the act is another matter but it is a fact that the big buck on that day did leap out over the high fence and escaped to tho wood*. The old fellow did uot enjoy his freed un very long. The next day he was shot by Cliutou Yorks,a farm er of Rush township,who mistook the buck for a wild doer aud did not find oat his mistake until some time later. The deer.it was discovered,had struck the pickets iu trying to clear the fence and had injured himself pretty badly « * at The fair season brings into this sec tion of the state an influx of thieves, pickpookets and shoplifters They have become a nuisance aud a curse, and the several fair mauageiueuts ought to organize to break up tho busiuese. There is at* epidemic of petty thiev ing in the wake of every fair, merch ants are annoyed and suffer serious loss by the depredations of shoplift ers, and the insidious pickpocket is a constant menace to those who attend these aunnal exhibitions. Tho appre hension of a lew of thom by a force of detectives would tend to keep them away. A move in the right direction has been made,however,by the Glooms burg Fair Association, iu securing (he services of two Piukerton detectives who will be on the lookout for any operations by this class of thieves. « « H One of the finest corn orops ever known in the State is being husked now, and farmers are chuckling over the immense yield.

His atteution was oallod to the action of i Council requesting the local Board of . Health to take cognizance of the un l.ealthful condition of the old water way and to lay the matter before the i State Boaid of Health. Dr. Newbaker stated that already ou two occasions the local Board of Health had declared the old uaual a nuisance, which seemed to be the lim it of their action. ID the present in stance tho local Board have gone fur • tlier and forwatded a communication I to the Slate Board of Health, appris ing that body of the action of Oouncil Friday night and asking for eulight uuimut as to what farther action would be advisable in the' premises. A reply is awaited with a good deal of interest. It seems pretty evident that from now on the canal matter will be agi tated pretty vigorously. The nuis snce in the vioinity of Mill street is bad enoogh, bnt it is no comparison to conditions whioh exist at the up per end of the Borough, where the bottom of the canal is tilled with sew age which impiegnales the atmosphere all along its course, A member of Council is authority for the state ment lliat at the next term the old canal will be returned to court as a nuisauco by the constables of each of the waids by which it is intersocted. Child's Narrow Escape. The fourteen months old daughter of Mr. nnrl Mrs. Grant Aten, D. L. & W. avoune.has been in an exceedingly critical condition sinco Monday after,, noon as the result of having swallow ed corrosive sublimate, a virulent poison. Nothing bnt the administer ing of emetics and the timely arrival of the physician saved tlie child from a horrible death. On Monday afternoon the child's mother had occasion to open one of tho closets of the house. While she was handling some of the contents of the upper shelves her little daughter tod dling at her feet got hold of the bot tle of the deadly poison ou tho lower shelf. Before the mother realized what had oocurred the child had placed the bottle to her mouth and swallowed some of the contents. Corrosive sublimate has a harsh ir ritating aotion on the body tissue,and the child instantly began to suffer from the dose. Mrs. Aten called in some of the neighbors aud a quantity of mi'k aud whites of eggs were ad ministered as quickly as possible. Dr. Pauleß responded to a hurry call aud found the child in a very critical con dition, during which it remained all night. The effeot of the poison was to ulcexate the throat as tlie resnlt of which the little one nearly strangled. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Paules stated that the child was hotter aud he be lieved that it would recover. Dunn's Favorable Report. Dunn's Weekly Review prints the following favorable report iu tho cur rent issue: " Favorable trade reports still pre dominate and there is no anxiety ro» garding the future. Higher temperat ure checked retail distribution of heavy wearing apparel and other sea sonable merchandise, but preparations for unpfecedented fall and winter trade continue without diminution.

H. S. FOOT BALL TEAMJEFEATED The Danville H. S. foot ball team was defeated Saturday afternoon at DeWitt's Park by the team representing the Bloomsburg High Sohooi, in a hard fought game that refleoted npon the looal eleven nothing but glory. Danville played their opponents to a standstill throughout both halves, it being in the last few minutes of the seoond half that Bloomiburg was able to soore, and then by reason of a lit tle hard luok oonpled with a slight misjudgment on the part of the Dan ville team in rushing the ball when a kick might have taken the pig skin oft of daugerous ground. Both the offensive and defensive playing of the High Sohooi team sur passed the fondest hopes not only of the ooaohers, but of the players them selves. They did not know how strong they were. During the first few min utes of play Bloomsburg seemed to gain ground at will, but the stage fright soon wore off, and the D.H. S. line was practically impieguable. Af ter this it was only by end runs that Bloomsburg could consistently ad vance the ball.

No New Cases, But Two Deaths Yesterday NANTJOOKE, Oct. 11.-The epi domic at this place scorns to be getting under control as there were no new cases reported today There were two deaths reported but they were of long standing when admitted. One of the patients was iu a hopeless condition when tabon in a few days ago. John Syzmanski and Stanley Tauna, these as stated above were old oases when admitted, are the deaths reported. Nicholas Horn was admitted today > but this case also is old, having been affected over tfiree weeks. This leaves the epidemic without a reported cUse for the last thirty-six hoars. ~ Dr. Johnson, in an interview today, expressed the most sauguine hopes tiiat the dread malady has been cheoked. The doctor emphasized the fact that the epidemic had takeu a good hold when he took oharge and that it takes time to wipe oat a contagion that had been allowed to floarish so lung. TRACKMAN WAS PAINFULLY WOUNDED Painfully wounded by a revolver bullet, Charles Richards, a Philadel phia and Reading track walker, was found along Blue Hill above the North urabeilaud bridge by a south bound freight crew. The victim was taken to the Suu bury Hospital, where the wound was drossed by the surgeons in oharge. While the wooud is quite painful, no' sorious insults are anticipated. Much mystery seem to surround the shooting, a number of different stories as to how it oocuired being afloat. The victim and his wife, who was formorly Ida DeHaven, affirm that it was an accident. They both say that Richards was handling the revolver wheu it was accidentally discharged. Members of the traiu orew who din* covered the body of Richards say that the woman, who was the only other person on the scene at the time, re marked that she had been on a little fishing expedition with the viotim, that only a little aocideut had happen ed. Other stories which are stoutly deni ed by both parties, hint at a quarrel betweeu the two. Low Rates and Special Trains to Bloomsburg Via Reading Railway.
