A Change of Indictments.

Upon presentation of a certified copy
of the certificate of Indictment found at
the recent session of the United States
court against Harry West, Joe Smith
and Frank Reed, the prisoners who
broke into the store and postofice at
Sterling, the state charge Of burglary
preferred against them was Monday
dismissed by Judge Winchester, and
they were Immediately rearrestea by
Murdoch Mckenzie, on the United
States charge of robbing the postottice.
This action turns the prisoners over to
the tender mercies of the United States
authorities, and relieves the county of
the expense of keeping them and of a
trial. They will remain in charge of
Sheriff Donnelly, however, until the
next session of the United States court
the expenses incident to keeping them
here being borne by the United States.
Cruel, Cruel
To it's victims Is that memorable foe to
human peace, that destroyer of. rest and
frequent termination of human life
rheumatism, Like many other physi-
cal ills, it is easily remediable at the
outset with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which expels the rheumatic virus from
the blood through the kidneys. There
exists the amplest evidence to prove
that in cases that have resisted other
treatment the Bitters has produced
thorough and permanent results. But
to temporize with this malady is folly.
Attack it at once with the Bitters and it
may be nipped in the bud. When ma
ture it is the most obstinate of COM
plants. Kidney trouble, dyspepsia, neu-
ralgia, incipient govt, constipation, ma
laria and liver complaint beat a hasty
retreat when the Bitters is summoned
to the rescue. A wineglassful three
times a day.
In District Court Chambers.
Before Judge Winchester, in cham.
bers Monday, the appointment of a re
ceiver for some property belonging tc
Chas. M. Carr, upon which a mortgage
is held by Vincent Moses, wa argued
by the mortgagor's attorney, Geo. W
Newton. The case was continued unit
tomorrow.
Inferior Goods.
The only safe way for purchasers is tt
insist on having the genuine article, an6
not allow themselves to be swindled by
having plasters said to be "just as good
or Containing superior Ingredients
imposed upon them. These are only
tricks to sell inferior goods that NJ
more compare with Allcock's Porous
Plasters than copper does with gold
One trial of Allcock's Porous Plasterf
will convince the most skeptical of thei
merits.
The eminent Henry A. Mott, Jr., Ph
D., r. @. s., late government chemist
certifes:
my investigation of Allcock's Porou
Plasters shows it to contain VALUABLE
and essential ingredi ents not found il
any other plaster, and I find it superio
to and more efficient than any othe
plaster
Ask for Allcook's, and let no ~solicita
ton or explanation induce you to &C
Cept q substitute.

placed on file.
The committee on ways and means re-
ported that the reports of the clty teas
urer for the months of June and July
had been examined and found correct,
and advised their adoption.
On motion the reports we're adopted.
H. L. Reade, appointed a special COM
mittee on fire department., rendered his
report. It discouraged the proposed re-
moval of the rear tank from the chemi-
cal engine, but advised the sale of the
present city team and the purchase of
younger horses. It also suggested that
horses be used on the hose carts here
after. It also advised the appointment
of the mayor and Alderman Mcdonald
as a committee to consider the advis-
ability of placing shafts on the hose
carts. Action on the report was deferred
until Wednesday.

UNION REVIVAL MEETINGS.

Rev. w. p. Breed of Milton, refer.
ing to Evangelist Smith. who expects
to conduct revival meetings in the
Bloomsburg Opera House during the
first two weeks Of February, uses the
following language !: "Mr. Smith has
won the love and respect and admira-
tion of all our people. He is better
fitted for his work than any man with
whom have ever come in contact
He is cultured gentlemen, a devout
christian, a preacher with remarkable
persuasive power, man of great wis
dom and force in dealing with indivd-
uals who are in spiritual difficulty, and
has absolutely perfect discretion and
tact in the conduct Of morning meet
ings for christians, and the evening
"after-meetings." l assure you that the
pastor who asks for the services of Mr..
Smith will never regret the act. We
prepared carefully and extensively for
his coming and his work among us has
been great. The spiritual life which
has been Infused into the veins of my
church members is incalculable."

STUDENTS, LECTURE COURSE.

Mrs. Fl. f.. Monroe, the third lee
turer OF the course, will deliver her
lecture, "England-Its Shrines and
People, on Friday evening of this
week, in the Chapel of the Normal
School.
Mrs. Monroe never fails to please
and profit her audience. She was for
fifteen years President of the Kansas
Collegiate Institute. h,s travelled and
lectured extensively in Europe, and
has few if any superiors as an illus
trated lecturer. The Washington, ID.
c. Tribune claims that she is "guite
equal to Stodddrd.'
Prof. Welsh, before engaging her,
took pains to write to educators Of his
acquaintance in all parts of this state,
who had heard her, and the replies
without exception endorsed her un-
conditionally She has lectured at
most of the Normal Schools and col
leges Of this state, and they all gi' e
her cordial endorsement.
She was at first booked to deliver
her lecture, "Chrst in Art" but her
new lecture on England seems to be
all the rage this winter, and we
thought if other people called it her
best, we would be guided by the popu-
lar judgment. Tickets at Brooke 6,

Mr.. VIM. Evans, and MIR. Harry C.
Mcbride.
Miss Holmes, Miss Wright, Miss
M. M. Gensel, Miss Lizzie Richart
and Mr.. Cotner were missed among
those who should have been present.
The institute was one of usual in
terest and profit to the teachers and
patrons assembled. The teachers took
very active part in the work, and
showed by their remarks and interest
that they are alive to the issues of the
new education.
Supt. Johnston, Profs. Hartline and
Bakeless, Of the Normal, gave valuable
hints and suggestions which, if practic-
ed cannot fail to be of lasting benefit
to teacher and pupil. The remarks
by teachers were interspersed with
songs by the choir, and recitation by
the pupils of the several schools. The
selections were rendered in a very
pleasing manner and reflect much cred.
it upon the performers.
Contests in reading and spelling
were held by the various schools, all OF
whom did very well. 1t is hoped by
all that there may be speedy recur-
ance of the Local Institute.

ARBITRATED.

Last year the County Auditors re-
fused to allow certain items in the &C
counts of the County Commissio ners,
and charged these items to the Com
missioners. Among the items was
money paid to M. Shaffer, the Court
House contractor, for removing old
cistern to get solid foundation for
the walls; an item Of $500 overpaid
for a soldiers tombstone, and over
charges by Stevens and Girton. From
the Auditors settlement an appeal was
taken by the old Board of Commis-
sioners, and on Wednesday the case
was arbitrated before John w. Shu-
mon, Freas Fowler and John B.
Casey. At the time of the Auditors
rel ort, Mr.. Stevens promptly paid over
the amount claimed to have been over
charged by him. B f. Zarr, Esq,
represented the old Board, and r. r.
Little, Esq, appeared tor the county.
After hearing considerable testimony
the arbitrators made an award Of $a.so
against William G. Girton in favor Of
the county. There will be no appeal
from this award. The county will
have to pay the costs.

A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.

Last Friday being the birthday of
Mr.. Charles w. Funston, his wife pre-
pared a surprise party for him.
Twenty gentlemen we're invited to
dine with them that evening at 1890,
and all were cautioned not to let Mr..
Funston know anything about it.
Strange to say the secret was kept,
and although he suspected that COM
pany of some kind was expected, he
knew nothing of the character Of it
until all the guests had arrived. The
gentlemen appeared IN full evening
dress, and when they came down
stairs into the parlor without any ladies
Mr.. Funston thought there was some
joke about it, and asked his wife why
the ladies did not come down, and
was then told what kind of a party it
was. The dining room had been
sealed to him since morning and he
was entirely ignorant of what was
there.
Miss Bess Monroe, of Rupert as
sisted in receiving.
At 8 o'clock dinner was announced
and the guests were ushered into the
dining room. Here beautiful scene
was presented. The table was set in
l. shape, and charmingly decorated
with flowers and smilax, the latter
intertwined among the dishes in a
very pretty way. Twenty covers were
laid and at each cover was card con-
tanning the name Of the intended oc-
cupant Of that chair. A general hunt
ensued which was amusing, until all
had found their proper places. Each
guest found at his place boutonniere,
Those present besides the surprised
husband were DR.. J. G. Reifsnyder,
DIR. ]. S. Garrison, l.. f. Waller,
Chas Watson McKelvy, ]. G.. Wells,
A. H. Bloom, ]. H. Mercer, w.
Clark Sloan, Frank p. Pursel, Rob
w. Hartman, Geo. f. Elwell. Frank
keller, Henry M. Rupert, Geo. S.
Robbins, Paul E. Writ, c. c. Peacock,
Fred Ikeler, Frank Wilson, and Geo.
Richmond Of Sunbury.
Then the dinner began, and such a
feast 1t was elegantly served in
twelve courses, on exquisite china,
cut glass, and silver, and consisted as
nearly as can be remembered of the
following Blue Poin, oysters on the
half shell; consomme soup; Salmon
croquettes with Saratoga chips; oyster
pattles; Roman punch; roast turkey
with dressing, corn and cranberry
sauce, and asparagus on toast hot
house tomatoes with Mayonnaise, and
crackers: ice cream and cake; ban
anas and grapes; assorted nuts; bon
bons; coffee.
AS the clock struck ten the COM
pany arose, having been two hours in
discussing the good things set before
them. Havana cigars assisted in di-
gestion, and after two hours more
spent in pleasant discourse, the guests
departed at the noon of night fully i'm
pressed with Mrs. Funston's ability to
originate and consummate a most de-
lightful scheme, and of which many
expressed to her the hope that she
might see the propriety of repeating
the dose at the annual recurrence Of
her husbands birthday. The party
was novel one, and the dinner was
probably the most elaborate of the
kind ever served in Bloomsburg. 1t
is the wish of all present that Mr..
Funston may live to enjoy his birth
days to a good old age.

Editor Tubbs of the Shickshinny
Echo is an inventive genius, and has
got out a patent. In his last weeks
issue he says:
"The editors New Years present
was a patent for a fountain pen tip.
The tip is loaded with lead and when
removed from the point and placed on
the opposite end will eff'ectually prevent
the pen from destruction should it fall
to the floor. Fountain pens are prac-
tically indestructable by use, and this
invention, carrying the weighted end
to the floor first protects the pen from
injury by accident"
