NORMAL school. NOTES.

Still greater surprises await the return
Ing students 10 Sept At meeting of the
committee of the trustees on grounds and
buildings Tuesday evening, it was decided
to 60 on with the paper hanging, and deco
rate the girls rooms as well as the boys.
This was wise step to take. 1t was the
intention to paper the girls rooms at any
rate before the end OF the year, II the
school proved to be large enough to
warrant the expense. Now, that it is as
sured that the school will be large, the
work may as well be done first as last.
This week has brought in many new
students, and the indications are tina, every
room on the girls side will be engaged by
the end of vacation, while the boys side
will be nearly filled. The public knows a
good school when it sees 1t, and is not
slow to show its apprec iation.

A very Hot Town.

Last Saturday was very warm day
in Bloomsbury. The thermometer stood
ND In the nineties, and it was delegate cleo
ton day, and there was no ice in town.
]. Il. Giger's ice house has been exhausted,
and his supply comes by car from Phlla-
delphia. He had ordered carload, and 1t
should have reached here on Friday, but II
WAS DELAYED and when Saturday morning
came there was great consternation. The
hotels wanted ice to keep their beer cool the
politicians wanted it to keep their heads
cool, the butchers wanted 1t TO keep their
meat cool, and everybody wanted it. f.
A. Rawlings had over hundred dollars
worth of meat iu his refrigerator which
would spoil before Sunday unless ice could
be found. de succeeded in getting few
hundred pounds of E. G. Bundy at the old
slate quarry, but as it takes ton to fill his
refrigerator, he was still anxious. After
considerable telegraphing Mr.. Giger found
his car of ice lying at Tamaqus, and it ar
rived here on Sunday morning. BY noon
the ice wagon had supplied all its custom
ers. Everybody will hope for cold win
ter this year, for the luxury OF ice is better
appreciated now than ever before.

Il FURNITURE Trade Sale.
Furniture will be higher, es-
pecially such pieces as have
Mirrors. A combine of glass
importers has advanced the
price of mirror plates 20 per
cent. Oak lumber is advancing
greatly, and the makers of Fur
niture having these features are
giving trade notices of increas-
ed prices. The rise has been
expected.
Our Furniture Trade Sale
is therefore a complete reversal
Of natural conditions. A strong
and rising market, and yet low
er retail prices on a great stock
of new, elegant; fine honest
Furniture than have every been
named. Hoao real you can
only know by giving the articles
very critical examination and
comparison.
The natural conditions are
reversed in respect to the sea-
son. Did you ever hear before
of a Great Retail Trade Move
ment in August? We think
not. And yet here is one in
volving some hundreds of
thousands of dollars in articles
of bulk and value that is a stup-
endous success from the first
hour - and the thermometer
climbs to the nineties.
| Remember every room in
the house, hall, bedroom, din
ingroom, parlor has a share
either in full sets of Furniture
or single pieces,
| Out-of-town people, even 800
miles or more away, can pay
for a journey to this city on the
purchase OF a Suit Of Furniture
for a bedroom, library or dining
lroom.
| A feature which divides the
Occasion from all others is that
it is not based upon a few mark
ed down goods but covers a
proper, fresh and complete
stock of Furniture at prices
that are only half or two-thirds
present real values.
Remember Especially that the
life of this sale will expire witt
this month. Begun, continued
and ended in August is the de
, cree.

eral laws and who are unable TO prove up
the pending claim can apply for and se-
| cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution OF the former claim and secure

II YOU are now drawing small pension,
say 80 or 81 per month, you can take this
| pension instead, and IL you have an appli
| cation on file for increase or additional

an original claim for disability contract
ed in the service while drawing pension
under this new act.

ers and fathers are entitled under this &C
and can suspend the prosecution of ary
pending claim, and take this pension, anC
afterwards complete the prior claim ant
get arrears.
