Ihe Bloonisburg Sentinel says ' that a demented man clad only j in a dressing rol>e and a pair 1 of slippers is roaming aimlessly ; about in the mountains in the ! southern part of Columbia county ! and unless he fortunately stumbles ; onto some other person who will care for him, it is probable that | the severe weather and the man's condition will result in his death. | He is a native of Germany and ennm to this country live months' ago. His strange actions for some time proclaimed him mentally ■ ; 1 balanced and Fiiday afternoon be took a violent turn. The man | with whom he boarded was stait led to see him fleeing from the house clad only in a robe and slip- | pers. Unfamiliar with the moun tains the demented man may roam foi days without eneouhtcring hu man beings. Brvtal- Treatment.! * An unknown hunter attacked an j eight-year old boy at Muncy and ! beat hiju so badly with a club that j he cannot yet speak. The hoy, a son of John Shafler of Money, was returning from school through his ' father's woods back of the house | when he encountered the hunter. | The boy told him no hunters were j allowed on that land, whereupon j thi man turned on him with it club, j The boy was able to make bis way j home, but could only explain things j by writing on his slate. The lad; was in a terrible condition, his jaw was fractured and stiff, several teeth were knocked out, and his tongue so cut and swollen that, he could not move it, three stitches being requir ed in the tongue. The assailant has not yet been apprehended. J. H. Fritz, of Caldwell, Clinton county and Miss Mary M. Chit wood j ofOakwood, 111., who some time ago taught school in Clinton county, were united in marriage at the Unit ed Evangelical parsonage, LockHav- I in by Rev. .MJ E. Fosselman. The bride is well known to the j teachers of that county and attracted | no little attention during the annual j teacher.-' institute held in LockHav- ' en last December. She is fair and i buxom and tips the scale at ;it>7 lbs., | though she is short of stature. Her husband weighs 120 pounds. Rev. W. C. Joins, for some time I pastor ol the First Baptist church at i : Bel wick, and who adopted the ''sen- , ! sational" system of bringing people ! to -ervieesj has given up the minis- , j try, and will enter business at Nan | ticoke, but will do occasional preach ling. He says the frequent dissen ! tions in churches show there is some i thing radically wrong, and that j there are comparatively few congre j gations that are not controlled by live or six members. Third Term Talk. The following article is from the New York Christian Advocate con cerning a third term for President Rohsevelt: Various politicians, some in office, others out, and some afraid that they are about to be turned out, and magazinists, who perhaps would not despise a consulate, are writing articles to show that President Roos evelt's solemn and reiterated declar ation that at the close of his term he would under no circumstance be it candidate for re-election to the presi deney is not binding upon him. Some wise and good men who can not be suspected of desiring to curry favor with the disposer of honors and revenues are doing the saint-. The arguments are that he was not President while he was filling out the term of President McKinley, and that no man can place himself be yond the call of"the American peo ple." As to the first, the length of time was so nearly four years its to make the whole very nearly eight year- As to the second, is the desire of a party to have him break his word j "the call of the American people i A situation might arise demanding lit; but nothing else than general alarm caused by evil probabilities ' and consequent general desire would | seem to justify it. Otherwise the | situation would put the president ii the attitude of the man who said, "I assure you 112 would not take the of flee if elected—but 1 am in tin bands of my friends." All Arc Beneficiaries. The storekeeper may say, "I an not Protected by the Tariff,'' but hi is one of the chief beneficiaries of Tariff Protection. The ltrvyer, the doctor, the dentist, the clerk aim T 1 i salesman and even the bootblack en-1 joys the benefits of Tariff Protection, j Men engaged in the building trade- i are signally benefited. If there were ; no Protective Tariff l'. •!' 1 would be j for them comparatively little work ' and a much cheaper wage. As it b ! they have an abundance of work anil j the highest wage ever known before. When manufacturing industry i- j depressed wages decline or cease and j and the purchasing power of the | multitude is seriously curtailed. The trade of the storekeeper falls off aim | he reduces expenses by discharging j employees. Occupation for profes- j sional men of all kinds pays less in j come and accounts more difficult to ! collect, and the bootblack feels the i pinch in that his customers do their own blacking. All wealth comes j | from productive industry and when ! j that suffers everybody suffers. When i that prospers, as now, everybody ! i prospers. Wages Continue Going Up. The wages of all employes of the | Pennsylvania Railroad system, num ! berihg nearly 200,000 men on ali lines east and west of Pittsburg are to he increased. Details are being worked out, and official announce ment will lie forthcoming within the next thirty days. It is planned to have the raise made effective De cember 1, but on account of the great amount of detail work to be done before such a sweeping order is ■ placed in effect, it may be deferred until January 1. Jeremiah Ilader, formerly of For i est Hill, Pit. who had been missing j since the famous battle of Antietani, | December 17, IHO2, returned to his j home last week after forty-four years jof wandering. So greatly had hi 1 changed that his relatives failed to I recognize him. He had been eon i sidered dead by his family and they ! never expected to see him again. After the great luittle instead of re i turning home, he wandered through California and Europe. , At the Reading Teachers' Insti tute on Wednesday President Roose velt's simplified spelling was given a round of applause. Prof. W. N. Ferris, one of the lecturers, declared j that the President had the courage to simplify spelling to make it com mon sense. The business world wanted it, while carved students j spoke of such a move in the future l without taking action Boy Robbed Mail Boxes. Ilerold Lupo, a 14 year-old boy of Renovo, has been arrested by Gov ernment Inspector W. A. Rose, of Washington. For two weeks the Renovo post office authorities have been in a dilemma. The business men of the place had been entering complaint about the irregularity of receiving their mail and the matter was referred to Washington for in vestigation. In twenty-four hours after the in spector arrived young Lupo was de tected opening one of the combina tion boxes and was placed under arrest. He had consented in the lining of his coat checks to the amount of over S2OOO besides a note for #I3OO and a money order for S2O were found. He admitted that he had destroyed a number ol checks and notes. He was given a hearing and in default of bail was taken to Wilkes Barre and placed in jail. The boy had been making a prac tice of extracting letters from the mail boxes for some time and while there is no loss financially it has caused no end of trouble to nearly every bank between Philadelphia and Erie. The National Divorce Congress, which opened its three days' session Tuesday at Philadelphia, definitely established, with a recommendation for adoption by every State and Ter ritory in the Union, six causes for absolute divorce, and seven causes for annulment of marriage. The causes for divorce, as laid down, not without some discussion, are adultery, bigamy, conviction and sentence for crime for at least two years, extreme cruelty on the part of either husband or wife, will ful desertion for two years or habit ual drunkeness.' j The causes for absolute annulment i of the marriage ceremony must have 1 existed at the time of marriage. | They are as follows: Incurable phy sical debility, at tlv> suit of wither j party, consanguinity or affinity, ac- ' I cording to the table of degrees estab lished by law, at the suit of either party. When either of the parties ! had a husband or wife living at the ! time of the marriage. Fraud, force j or coercion at the suit of the inno cent party anil injured ptrty. When such marriage was contract ed when either of the parties Inula husband or wife living, at the suit I of either party. Fraud, force or coercion, at the suit of the innocent and injured par j 'y- Insanity of either party. At the suit of the wife, when she was under the age of It; at the time i ol the marriage. | At the suit of the husband when j he was under the age of 18 at the time of the marriage. Representatives of the State boards of health of Pennsylvania and New- Jersey held a conference with oyster planters at Maurice River N. J. The object of the meeting was to make si searching examination into the oyster industry and see if it is pos sible for the oyster to become con taminated and carry typhoid germs. Many farmers are rounding up their turkeys in order to fatten them for Thanksgiving. Despite rumors to the contrary there will be an ample supply of turkeys for the national feast. Final settlement has at last been effected between the Auditor Gener al and Atty. W. C. Johnson for work as special auditor on account of ex-Register 'and Recorder Rut tor,, and the following receipt given by Mr. Johnston explaining the matter j fully. Being thrown from the third | story scaffolding to the ground at the new distillery building at Ben ton, Tuesday morning, one of the workmen, Charles Breisch of Ilar veys Lake was very badly injured and the outcome is still in doubt. He was picked up unconscious and in a badly battered condition and j ' i hurried to the Bloonisburg hospital where the physicians were not ,' able to say whether or not the man j ' would recover.

Hereafter clergymen performing marriage ceremonies cannot "keep it a secret" for a little while when requested to do so by the contracting ■parties, without violating a ii'iw law which recently went into effect.
